Chapter 739 739 Those who came to join the army

Since the war is still going on, no matter how peaceful people's lives are, it is impossible not to see a clue.

In fact, whether it is Tongcheng, Linshui, or even Chang'an, you can see the gates of conscription offices crowded with people.

Each of these conscription offices announced to the public is overcrowded, and there are "idle people" who gather here and volunteer to join the army.

The officer who was sitting there in charge of the review looked helpless, because there were too many young people who came here to fight for the country, so many that he couldn't be busy every day.

After hearing that various countries declared war on Datang, the Tang people were all angry!They can't give up the good life they have worked so hard to give up easily, and whoever wants to take it away from them will have to fight desperately!
Ever since, on the day when the war broke out, when it was still pouring rain everywhere, countless people rushed to the conscription office, expressing their hope that they could fight for His Majesty the King.

It's a pity that although the Tang State declared that it had entered a wartime state and began to mobilize the whole country, the relevant regulations were still strictly enforced.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, many professionals are not allowed to join the army: including workers with specific jobs, workers in certain factories on the list, teachers and students, and those who have just become Tang people for less than a year...

These regulations are actually reasonable. For example, it is stipulated that immigrants who have completed one year are eligible to join the army. On the one hand, this is to ensure the composition of personnel within the army and prevent enemy personnel from mixing into the army to deliberately sabotage; On the one hand, it is also hoped that those migrant households who have not yet enjoyed the dividends of the Tang people will be forcibly conscripted into the army.

It's just that the life in the Tang Kingdom is really good, and the outsiders who came here have long regarded themselves as Tang people, so many people gathered at the conscription office and refused to leave, and they complained about not allowing them to enlist.

There is no way around this. After all, enlisting in the army is actually a way to quickly integrate into Tang country society: as long as there are soldiers in the family, then in consideration of supporting the army, the family will enjoy a series of preferential treatment, which is reflected in the social level. Make it easier for people around you to accept this family.

"Unqualified! Child, you are just now, and you are still learning machine tool control, so you don't need to apply here." Handing the ID card back to the blushing young man, the officer at the conscription office explained helplessly.

He has to explain this many times every day, but there is no way, similar people will keep coming, and then he still has to say the same thing again.

"But! My father thinks that I should become a soldier! He said that our family has been taken care of by His Majesty the King, so we should do something for His Majesty." The young man was obviously unwilling to accept this fact, and he still stood there defended himself.

If their family hadn't been taken in by the Tang State, they might have been starved to death in the famine of the Chu State.Now they are not only living a good life, but even living a happy life that they never imagined before.

If they are unwilling to do their best for His Majesty, they will feel that they are inferior to pigs and dogs.

He has older brothers who are already working in the factory, their father is also a night watchman at the factory, their mother works in a textile factory, and they even had a new brother and a little sister last year.

So he came, his brother tried the day before yesterday and was sent back, so he came today.There are many of him in this family, and he can die on the battlefield for the country.

Before he came, he had realized that even if they were just killed by a shell on the battlefield, they should sacrifice their lives for His Majesty's just war.

This is the thinking of the simple common people: whoever gives us a way to survive, whoever gives us hope, we will fight for whoever.

It is a pity that sometimes things are so unsatisfactory: when someone drives the people to force them to go to the battlefield, the people often avoid that person; , Often that person is not willing to push the people into the abyss.

"Son, your task now is to study! When you acquire knowledge, you should serve this country in a position that needs you more! This...is your mission!" The officer squeezed out an ugly smile and continued He wasted his saliva to comfort the other party.

He felt that he should hold a submachine gun and fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield, that is what a soldier should do.

Instead of repeating nonsense to a group of little children like now: "Go back! Don't waste my time! Don't waste your own time!"

"I'm the head office!" Pushing aside the young apprentices in front, a middle-aged man with a beard slapped his ID card on the table.

His body is very strong, but the clothes on his body are very shabby.He sat down on the seat where the boy was sitting just now, showing his muscular arms: "I have been a soldier, give me a gun, and I can shoot at least five Dahua trash!"

"The records say that you were a soldier in Dahua..." The officer raised his head and looked at the strong man in front of him, a bit dumbfounded.

The state of Tang issued an identity certificate to every citizen, which contained the basic information of the citizen, and a small book that recorded the person's various experiences before and after he came to the state of Tang.

Each page has the review steel seal of the relevant department, and uses relatively high-grade anti-counterfeiting paper, and there are photos at the same time, which is quite comprehensive.

"Uh..." The other party was slightly embarrassed, then scratched his head: "When I was a soldier... I was not a coward!"

"But you've only been here for eight months... sir." The officer shook his head, and said as usual: "It is stipulated that only citizens of the Tang Kingdom who have been in the army for more than one year are eligible to join the army."

"I've been here for eight months! Sir!" The burly man became excited when he heard this, and leaned forward, trying to get closer: "I'm from Tang Dynasty! I've lived here for eight months !"

"I have no choice. If you are unqualified, you are unqualified. Even if I let you pass, you will be eliminated by the subsequent review." The officer continued to explain helplessly.

"Please!" I thought the strong man would continue to mess around, but in the end, the other party softened all of a sudden, with tears in his face, he almost kicked the stool and knelt down: "Give me a chance to take revenge! The bastard embezzled my military salary, leaving me with no money to see a doctor for my father! I want to kill these bastards! Please give me a chance!"

"..." Originally, the officer had already softened his heart, and was ready to just nod and turn a blind eye to let the strong man pass.

But when he saw the queuing crowd behind the strong man out of the corner of his eye, he knew that if he didn't do business properly, then the conscription office would have to approve at least 2000 applications for enlistment today.

This is no joke: if you can get one person through, you have to get through someone who saw this happen, or the angry crowd will tear this place down...  

Grabbing the water glass in front of him, he took a sip of warm water. The officer finally found himself, and once again sent the tearful brawny man out of the conscription office.

Then, although it was useless, he still shouted loudly to the crowd lined up at the door: "Anyone who does not meet the requirements for enlistment can leave! Especially workers, teachers, and doctors! Those with special blood types are not allowed..."

Seeing that the crowd did not seem to disperse, he had no choice but to continue emphasizing: "Also, I must remind everyone! Now you can't go to the battlefield after enlisting in the army! You must go through strict training for more than three months! Three months After that, who knows if the war is over!"

What he said was indeed the truth. Tang Jun had never had the habit of sending untrained recruits to the battlefield. On the contrary, Tang Jun emphasized the training of recruits, and the training time was at least twice that of other countries.

Moreover, these recruits are often scattered and directly added to the old troops after training, so that the veterans can impart some experience to the recruits who have just entered the battlefield, increasing the survival rate of the recruits on the battlefield.

If it is necessary to push a new combat unit onto the battlefield in an organized manner, the commander of the Tang army will try his best to assign simpler tasks to such units first.

Seeing that he had reached this point, and the people in the queue still didn't leave, the officer also sighed: "Okay! You guys line up! I'll examine them one by one! Those who fail to pass should go back quickly... Sigh... ..."

He shook his head and walked back to his seat, and began to check the documents one by one, some of them were indeed qualified, and some were not.

If he is qualified, he will send a form to the other party, telling the other party that they can report to the barracks outside the city.For those who are not qualified, he will still explain and drive them away.

Those who got the form were overjoyed, and even showed off the examination pass form in their hands to the crowd when they left.

Those who did not get the form were extremely frustrated, some cursed and some cried, as if they had missed their wedding.

Even though it was strict, within half a month after the flood receded, Tang still recruited 50 people to join the army and formed 25 divisions in one go.

Although these divisions are all light infantry divisions, and most of the units do not even have enough time to distribute enough No. 4 assault guns and self-propelled artillery, these units are still real infantry divisions.

According to the standards of other countries, these divisions are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition, comparable to the main force of the front line!However, Tang Jun still cautiously arranged these troops on the second line, and took the time to train in their respective stations.

Of course, this is all for later.

In the area where the battle is still going on, only the outskirts of Xi Cong are left. Qian Jinhang's commanders and their soldiers seem to have seen their end.
