Since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Huaxia Navy, which was originally the hegemon of Asian navies, seems to have collapsed. After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, although the navy participated in many battles, most of them ended in failure.

Even in order to block the advance of the Japanese bowl navy, many times the method of blocking the channel with self-sinking ships was adopted to prevent the Japanese bowl navy from raiding the defense area of the Zhongyan army along the rivers and waterways. The Nationalist Government's allocation of military spending for the Navy is also pitiful.

Compared with the huge cost of purchasing warships, many high-ranking military officials of the national government know that the navy is indispensable. But they know better that the random purchase of a few warships is not at all useful, and it will not be able to reverse the defeat.

On the other hand, if you use the money from the purchase of warships to train the army, the cost of one warship is enough to train an elite army. This has also led to the fact that many naval officers and soldiers currently in service have become the existence of grandpa who does not love grandma and grandma.

Just after Du Yuesheng visited Zhao Tiehu and returned to Hong Kong, he personally ordered his cronies to begin recruiting these naval officers and men who did not know what to do at the naval garrisons along the Yangtze River in the naval station.

In the face of the solicitation of these backbone members of the Youth Gang, many naval officers and men felt a little moved. However, when it comes to their own interests, these naval officers and men naturally have to ask a little more clearly. After all, it's about the livelihood of the family.

In response to the concerns of these naval officers and soldiers, the backbone of the Green Gang in charge of recruiting also said in a timely manner: "If you don't believe me, then you should at least believe in the reputation of our Green Gang, right?" I called you there because you could sail.

Nowadays, there is a big boss in Nanyang who has bought a fleet, hoping to recruit a group of domestic crews. As you know, the South Seas are not at the moment, and it is easy to encounter pirates when shipping by cargo ships.

You can sail ships and serve as soldiers, and if you do encounter pirates, you can also deal with each other, so that you don't lose your legs when you see pirates, like ordinary sailors. Of course, people are still very kind in terms of treatment.

If you are willing to go and don't want to bring your family with you, the soldiers will be paid a settling-in allowance of 50 yuan first, and the settling-in allowance for the officers will naturally be higher. If you move your family here, you will also be given a place to live and land.

In short, if you are willing to work there, I believe that life will be much better than it is now. Of course, it's not okay to go over there and be lazy. After all, the boss of the family is not a good person, so he can't raise a bunch of idlers for nothing! ”

As the Admiralty submitted his resignation one after another, Chen Shaokuan, as the commander of the Navy, was also very surprised. After asking some of the officers why they had resigned, it soon became clear that there were members of the Green Gang who were recruiting officers and men from their navy.

Just when Chen Shaokuan was curious about why the Green Gang was pulling people in the navy, one of Du Yuesheng's confidants also handed over a post to Chen Shaokuan to explain the purpose of the solicitation. After listening, Chen Shaokuan was also shocked.

said directly: "What do you Boss Du mean, is he also pulling the strings for others?" In the South Seas, can anyone really buy a warship? ”

'Commander Chen, that's what our boss asked me to convey. On the South China side, we have big Chinese bosses who plan to form an offshore fleet to escort merchant ships, and we really need a group of experienced naval officers and men.

As for who the boss is, our boss Du didn't say too much detail. It's just that Boss Du told me that Yu Qi asked your subordinates to stay idle in the country, so it was better to send some out, so that they could see the world.

After they went, they were not only familiar with the sea conditions in the South Seas, but also took this opportunity to train their warships. Although it is unlikely that he will fight the warships of the little devils, I believe that there are still opportunities to fight pirates, and I can also accumulate some experience in naval warfare.

In addition, Boss Du also said that he hoped that Commander Chen would recommend some special talents. In addition to officers and men who know how to navigate and fight with the navy, the other side also hopes to recruit some people from the Admiralty who dare to fly into the sky. ’

The navy and air force are undoubtedly relatively elite arms. It is a pity that these two arms of the army are somewhat useless in the current War of Resistance. In view of this situation, Zhao Tiehu asked Du Yuesheng to come to the Admiralty to poach people.

When Du Yuesheng used his connections to start poaching people in the Admiralty. Director Zhou, who was far away in Yan'an, also received a secret telegram signed by Zhao Tiehu and sent by Chen Wan in person.

After receiving this secret telegram, Director Zhou found the committee member with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Commissioner, that kid sent the secret message!" ”

Didn't he go abroad? What kind of fame did he make abroad? ’

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's going abroad, the high-level of the Eighth Route Army naturally knew about it. Although I don't understand why Zhao Tiehu went abroad, the wolf warrior entrusted the Eighth Route Army to escort some wolf warrior families earlier, which is also the envy of many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

After all, it is also a very rare thing to be able to bring your family to live abroad. Although it is not clear why they were asked to escort these civilians to the defense area where the wolf warriors are located, some insiders still know some of the situation.

These civilians who were escorted and transferred, their children also served in the Eighth Route Army earlier. It was only later, for some unknown reasons, that it seemed to withdraw from the combat sequence of the Eighth Route Army.

And now these people seem to have gone to Nanyang, and after settling down there, they have also taken their families over one after another. This makes many people feel that it is somewhat of a 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'.

In the face of the committee's inquiry, Director Zhou said with a smile: "This kid has become famous abroad. Look, this is a secret telegram sent by him, which says that there will be a delegation of Nanyang Chinese who are ready to visit Yan'an in the near future.

The telegram also said that this Chinese delegation raised a lot of money for the war in Nanyang. Originally, they planned to go to Chongqing, but he finally persuaded the delegation to come to Yan'an to have a look, and the other party also agreed to come to our side to have a look.

If we can get the support of these Chinese representatives, I believe that the financial pressure can also be reduced a lot. In addition to this, this kid is also in a secret telegram, let's select fifty literate young soldiers to go to Nanyang for pilot training.

It seems that after this kid left the Eighth Route Army, he really made a name for himself. We don't know much about the situation over there, but we couldn't miss this opportunity. If we can train a group of pilots, it will also be of great help to us in the future. ”

Training some pilots for the Eighth Route Army is also Zhao Tiehu's heart. As far as the current situation is concerned, in addition to the army, the strength of the navy and air force of the Eighth Route Army is almost blank.

But this does not mean that the Eighth Route Army does not want to form an air force and navy. The problem is that in order to form these two units, it is necessary to have officers and men who can fly airplanes and warships. It is very important to train a group of pilots of their own.

Looking at this long secret telegram, the committee members sighed in their hearts that Zhao Tiehu still hadn't forgotten his relationship with the Eighth Route Army. But when they thought of his withdrawal from the Eighth Route Army, the committee members still felt very regretful, and even a little angry.

But the committee members also know that Zhao Tiehu's kind of character, if he stays in the army, he is afraid that the future outcome will not be too good. And the previous investigation in Yan'an may have made Zhao Tiehu feel that he, a member of the committee, and the old chief could not protect himself.

After some final consideration, the committee member still said: "Forward this telegram to Mr. Zhu." As for the cadets, one group was selected from the Kang Da Congress, and then one group was selected from the army. In terms of personnel selection, it is up to you to check it personally. ”

'Yes, Commissioner! ’

As for the delegation's trip to Yan'an, when the delegation arrives, let's see which way they go. Once a person enters our defense area, let the troops of each defense area send elite soldiers to escort them, and remember not to let the other side have an accident in our defense area. ’

It is very clear that this Nanyang Chinese delegation is willing to come to Yan'an for an inspection visit, and Zhao Tiehu should also contribute to it. Regardless of whether the other party finally made a donation or not, the committee members felt that it was necessary to ensure the safety of the other party.

At this time, Zhao Tiehu, who was in Manila, received David and his entourage, who also left Shanghai, in his Wolf Castle. In less than a year, David now enjoys a lot of fame in both the business and political circles of the United States.

Of course, this also led to him becoming the focus of the Japanese army's special high school in Shanghai. In view of this situation, and to ensure his safety, Zhao Tiehu suggested that he come to Manila and remotely direct the business in Shanghai.

When I left Shanghai this time, the Wolf Nose Intelligence Department in Shanghai also did some cover-up and protection work. In the end, David successfully shook off the eyeliner of the special high school class, boarded a ship from Shanghai and successfully left for Manila.

Looking at the heavily guarded manor castle in front of him, David also said enviously: "Chen, it seems that during this time in Nanyang, you have made a lot of money again." It must be nice to live in such a big castle, right? ”

David, you are wrong. If it weren't for your welcome, I would have been in our place of government, in that remote town, not here. You know you haven't bought a house yet, so stay here for this time!

Recently, the situation has been very serious, and you have been blacklisted by the Japanese army. Although there are American troops stationed in Manila, you should know that the Japanese army is still unscrupulous in some things.

The strength of my subordinates, I believe I don't need to say more, you should have an experience. If you don't mind, I'll draw a few elites to serve as your bodyguards during your time in Manila. With them by your side, I believe they can also solve some troubles for you.

The most important thing is that I have a big business next, and I need you to act as a middleman to help solve it on my behalf. I think it would be more appropriate for you to talk to them than for me to negotiate with your arms dealers. ’

'Oh! Thank you! I appreciate your importance on my safety, your business is my business. I am here today because of my cooperation. Don't worry, as long as I can help, you just say! ’

With a series of cooperation and trade with Zhao Tiehu, David is now not far from being a millionaire. But compared to money, the connections he made in the domestic business and political circles are the most valuable things.

And all this, David knew very well who gave it. Therefore, he also knows that following in the footsteps of Zhao Tiehu, perhaps in the future, he will also have a real chance to be promoted to the upper class of the United States, and even his family will benefit from it.
