I'm a warlord in Africa!

Chapter 113 Sir, times have changed

"Well, if there's no problem, then let's not talk too much for now. I have things to do." After Cheng Mu answered, Chen Xiaoge suddenly said this.

"Wait." Cheng Mu stopped Chen Xiaoge, "When will you come to Ethiopia again?"

"Don't go."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoge hung up the phone.

Cheng Mu laughed and lit a cigar.

When the ten Apaches arrive, we will go talk to the Americans about purchasing warships.

But now, we have to try to organize the naval training.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mu walked out of the office and came to the military camp with the cigar he had just lit.

As usual, Cheng Mu's appearance aroused the soldiers' almost fanatical worship and cheers.

Looking at these young people who were only a few years younger than him, Cheng Mu waved to them one by one like a kind father.

After finally breaking away from the crowd of soldiers, Cheng Mu called the senior generals and middle-level officers in the army to a huge conference room.

In the conference room, Cheng Mu hadn't taken his seat yet, but everyone was whispering with excitement on their faces.

Although it is still unclear why the great general summoned them this time.

But everyone understands one thing: following the great general will definitely lead to promotion and wealth.

And this sudden gathering of so many people must be about something big to announce.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Cheng Mu sat down.

As soon as Cheng Mu sat down, all the sounds in the huge conference room disappeared instantly, leaving only the buzzing sound of Cheng Mu debugging the microphone.

"Next, I have an announcement to make."

Everyone's ears pricked up.

"From now on, each company commander will select ten elite soldiers when they return."

"And the selection criteria is this."

As he spoke, Cheng Mu pointed to the large screen behind him.

The content on the big screen is a person being pinched and forced to spin in circles.

After turning around several times, this person could still barely walk out in a straight line of ten meters. He really had some skills.

After playing this video, everyone looked at each other in confusion: What is the great general going to do?

Cheng Mu also continued at this time: "As the country's strength expands, we also need to form a navy of our own."

navy?

Hearing this word, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Because most of them have never even seen a fucking boat, and the only exposure to ships they've probably seen is from watching them on TV.

At this time, an officer sitting in the front row silently raised his hand, indicating that he had a question to ask.

Cheng Mu nodded. The officer stood up and saluted, then asked loudly, "Supreme Leader, why do you select soldiers in the way shown in the video? Isn't the most important thing for the navy to be good at swimming?"

Cheng Mu glanced at the man and said calmly, "For a naval soldier, it doesn't matter whether you can swim or not, because as long as you fall off the warship, only death will be waiting for you."

"But your ability to resist being stunned is a key factor in whether you can survive on the ship."

Oh——so that’s how it is!

The officer's face suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and he looked at Cheng Mu in admiration, as if he was admiring the great general's erudition and talent.

Cheng Mu talked about the cigarette ash and thought that nowadays these little brats were becoming more and more subtle in their flattery.

At this moment, the others present looked at the officer with a look of sudden enlightenment. No wonder he could be a leader, his political literacy was really high.

Not only did it make everyone understand the problem, it also gave the great general a chance to show off his abilities, further deepening his prestige in everyone's hearts.

Awesome!
At the great general's command, after the meeting, everyone returned to their respective teams to gather their soldiers and circle around.

Two hours later, the people Cheng Mu needed were selected.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers standing in front of him, Cheng Mu stood where he was, with someone holding a loudspeaker for him.

"Starting today, all of you will undergo special training and take corresponding exams and assessments every week."

"Those who pass the evaluation will continue to stay for the next round of evaluation, and those who fail will be sent back to their original camp."

"At least half of you will be eliminated, and for those who remain, your treatment will be doubled, and you will have more opportunities for promotion."

Hearing Cheng Mu's words, everyone was happy.

Putting aside the salary increase, the opportunity for promotion is hard to come by.

The positions in the army are basically occupied by the original veterans, leaving almost no room for them to maneuver.

The navy is a completely new route, which means there are countless opportunities waiting for them ahead.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Cheng Mu nodded: "Disband, and formal training will begin tomorrow."

After disbanding the soldiers, Cheng Mu selected a group of people from among the officers and generals.

In the near future, these people will be the commanders of naval systems.

When it came to forming a navy, Cheng Mu had never considered the issue of confidentiality.

With such a big commotion, it's not realistic to keep it secret.

Therefore, the information that Ethiopia was recently building a naval system quickly spread to several coastal countries.

Several countries have shown different reactions.

Most countries have expressed strong concerns about this, and the President of Somalia has even expressed his intention to send someone to talk to Cheng Mu, except Djibouti.

Because, for them.

No matter who invades them, it is not their national government's turn to worry.

Anyway, there are already troops stationed in the territory from so many countries, one more or one less won’t make much difference.

Love so and so.

As for Somalia's request for a call, Cheng Mu thought for a moment and did not directly reject it. Instead, he replied: [If you want to talk, send a representative to the Ethiopian border at the designated time, and someone will pick him up at that time.]

Shortly after the reply, a new reply came from Somalia: [Yes].

Cheng Mu recorded this matter in the regulations.

He had been reminded by Hunter before that Somalia seemed to have received a lot of assistance from the rapeseed people recently, and he needed to test their strength.

Afterwards, Cheng Mu walked out of the office and went to the military camp to inspect the work.

He bought a batch of new training equipment for the soldiers, including simulated ship combat and simulated operation of various equipment on the ship.
These things cost him a lot of money.

But compared to the future gains, they are insignificant.

In today's world, the truly powerful forces are all based on the navy.

Because, warships can already launch nuclear bombs directly.

My lord, times have really changed.
