Today, the reveille at the 19th Army headquarters was half an hour earlier than usual.
Officers at all levels went down to the company and conveyed the news that the Governor would come to the garrison to express his condolences today.
The soldiers tidied up their rooms, cleaned the barracks, and then began their daily training.
Seeing the leaders surrounding the two young men walking towards them from afar, the soldiers in training worked even harder, and even shouted slogans louder than before.
"Commander Zhao, have you recruited new soldiers in Annan? Is the source of troops reliable?"
On the playground, Yang Baiyi discovered that there was a phalanx of soldiers who were obviously unfamiliar with the training and were obviously new recruits.
"No, Your Excellency the Governor, I have disbanded the original police station. The military will take over public security issues. These are the public security officers I recruited. Please allow Commander Zhao to train them."
Xiao Fuxing on the side answered Yang Baiyi's doubts.
"Commander Zhao, Chief of Staff Li, strengthen their ideological and political education. Make sure there are no mistakes."
When it comes to all cadre appointments and the selection of law enforcement personnel in Annan, Yang Baiyi's first consideration is the issue of loyalty.
“Don’t worry, Governor. The selection of public security officers is strictly controlled by the military. They are all descendants of the Celestial Empire who are proficient in the Celestial Empire language.
Southern Xinjiang has been fully opened up. In the future, there will be more and more economic and trade exchanges between Annan and the mainland, and more and more Chinese people will come to Annan. We have taken this into consideration."
The Chief of Staff is responsible for political and ideological work, which he is already familiar with.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
Accompanied by Zhao Changzhi and officers of all levels, Yang Baiyi visited the living quarters of the garrison and inspected the soldiers' housekeeping hygiene, military appearance and discipline, and food conditions one by one.
After a round, the soldiers also finished their daily training for the day.
On the training ground, the soldiers gathered together quickly and orderly in company and platoon units, waiting for the Governor to speak.
"Don't bother."
Seeing the orderly busy pulling the microphone and connecting the loudspeaker, Yang Baiyi stopped them.
"Soldiers, I am Yang Baiyi."
Yang Baiyi gathered his energy into his dantian, exhaled, and began to speak, his resounding voice echoing throughout the entire training ground.
"This spring, the tiny country of Annan actually dared to invade our southern border.
Our great country, the Celestial Empire, has always loved peace and advocated promoting common development.
But the sovereignty of the Celestial Empire cannot be violated. Whoever dares to offend the Celestial Empire will be punished, no matter how far away they are!
"Whoever offends our Celestial Empire will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
"Whoever offends our Celestial Empire will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
"Whoever offends our Celestial Empire will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
All the officers and soldiers of the division were so excited that their blood boiled and their unified slogans shook the heavens and the earth.
The Annan police who were training together were instantly infected. This is their motherland, and this is the spiritual outlook of their motherland's defenders.
I don’t know what Ruan Bochao was thinking at the time, he actually dared to challenge the majesty of the Celestial Empire.
But it’s also a good thing this way. They, the descendants of the Celestial Empire, were like rootless duckweed in Annan before. Now that Annan has been recovered by the Celestial Empire, they and their families have automatically regained their Celestial Empire citizenship.
Now they feel extremely at ease.
"You are all the vanguards to recapture Annan, and you are the most elite troops of the Celestial Empire.
The recovery of Annan relied on everyone's bravery and fearlessness of death.
Now you are stationed in Annan, far away from home. Annan's stability is inseparable from your contributions."
"Be loyal to the Celestial Empire and serve the people!"
"Be loyal to the Celestial Empire and serve the people!"
"Be loyal to the Celestial Empire and serve the people!"
The soldiers were extremely excited. There was nothing more exciting than gaining recognition from their idols.
Yang Baiyi's brilliant achievements have spread among the soldiers of the three armies.
"Thanks to the organization's kindness and respect, I have been appointed as the Governor of Annan. From now on, I will work together with everyone to build Annan, protect Annan, and safeguard the southernmost border of the Celestial Empire.
The organization will not forget your achievements, and the salary allowances of all soldiers will be increased by one level.
I will ask Commander Zhao and Chief of Staff Li to arrange the one-month home visit leave every year later.
After you are demobilized or discharged, whether you want to return to your hometown to work or stay in Annan to work, I will do my best to help you find a job."
The salary increase for the Annan Garrison was a promise made by several old patriarchs to Yang Baiyi.
The reason why the document was not issued by the Military Commission but Yang Baiyi was asked to convey it personally was to make the garrison troops loyal.
Yang Baiyi's speech caused all officers and soldiers to cheer.
Meritorious service, awards, salary increases, subsidies, one month's home leave every year, cadre transfers, and soldier demobilization are all free of worries.
If the soldiers only admired Yang Baiyi before, now they truly love him.
After leaving the base, Yang Baiyi and Xiao Fuxing returned to the Governor's Mansion.
The family members were out playing and had not returned yet, so the two sat in the pavilion of the manor drinking tea and chatting.
"Uncle, do you have any opinion on Annan's future development?"
Although Yang Baiyi already had a plan in mind, he still wanted to hear Xiao Fuxing's ideas.
With just one word from me, my uncle came all the way to Annan to help me without any hesitation. I also wanted to help my uncle grow.
"Bai Yi, I think we still need to take into account the actual conditions of Annan and adapt to local conditions.
The most urgent task is to resolutely crack down on poppy cultivation and the families or factories that produce opium. We must intensify our efforts and resolutely ban them.
We have experienced the invasion of opium, the humiliation brought by the Opium War, and even the harm of opium.
