Under round after round of negotiations, the United States also feels that it is better for China to be self-sufficient in some weapons. The first of these is due to Chiang Kai-shek's insistence, who was greatly stimulated by the British, and if China's industrial capacity was stronger, and not as weak as it is now, then he could at least expand his territory.

Roosevelt and a group of Americans felt that aiding China on the one hand could make China feel the attitude of the United States, so that China could fight the Japanese more effectively, and the more Japanese China killed, the fewer Americans died. In addition, China has its own resources and can produce a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the logistical pressure on the United States will be much smaller, and China will be more confident, and the pressure on the Yunnan-Burma highway will be much less.

In the end, Roosevelt decided to help China build a basic industrial system in the southwest, and Roosevelt asked Marshall to form an aid group to go to China to help China build industry.

The Americans explicitly promised to help build industry, and Lao Chiang's mind was alive again, and with his own industrial system, he would not always be subject to the British.

And the United States wants to help China build an industrial system, the news was quickly learned by Japan, Britain, and Soviet Russia, they are very worried, especially the British, they are most worried that China will become strong in the war, if that is the case, even if there is an agreement in Burma, it will not be able to take it back, isn't the agreement used to tear up?

Churchill cautiously exchanged views with Roosevelt, hoping that Roosevelt would not support China's establishment of industry, and said that China was useless after it became strong, Roosevelt knew what the British thought, and he also told Churchill about China's good life after a certain industrial base.

For the British, they have numerous interests in their traditional sphere of influence in China, so they do not tolerate a strong China.

As far as the United States is concerned, China will not be able to catch up with the United States even in a hundred years, although there are many Chinese, but there are too few people in modern science and technology, and spears and broadswords cannot confront modern weapons. So Roosevelt did not think that China would threaten the United States once it had an industrial base.

On the other hand, Roosevelt was not a fool, in fact, China has a certain strength not only to fight Japan now, but also to contain Soviet Russia after the war, not the outbreak of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union are allies, the two countries will always be friends, Roosevelt and the American capitalists have not forgotten the monster of Soviet Russia.

China is particularly strange, although there is the Kuomintang in power, but the Kuomintang is very weak in local domination, China also has a force supported by Soviet Russia, the United States does not want this force to take power to Soviet Russia, in that case, the Eastern Pacific is the world of Soviet Russia, so the United States must support China, unless they want to subvert in the north, Soviet Russia pulled thousands of Russian officials, businessmen, and landlords to the Volga River and shot them all kinds vividly! The capitalists in the United States do not want to face that terrible thing.

Although Roosevelt did not promise Churchill, but he also did not want the British to have too much thought, the British have always been very snobbish, Roosevelt repeatedly promised that after defeating Germany, he would definitely protect the interests of Britain, and at the same time would increase material aid, in fact, Roosevelt sneered, after this battle, the United States will naturally be the first in the world, and Britain can only be reduced to a second-rate country.

At the same time, Roosevelt was also annoyed by the death of the British, always thinking about himself, too selfish, if China surrendered, there is no doubt that Japan would coerce the Chinese army to attack India and the German army in the Middle East, the world situation will continue to deteriorate, the United States may still be able to rely on the two oceans to defend, but Britain is not yet a slave of the Germans, I am afraid that only a few people can escape, and Roosevelt has no way to be a comrade-in-arms with such a person.

However, the British beat the swollen face and became fat, and as long as he found his weakness to save face, he was also very easy to deal with, and he was afraid of the kind of opponent who was indifferent to what you do.

On the Chinese side, a group of people work overtime to repair the factory and roads first, so that they can save a lot of time, and when the equipment comes, it can be installed directly and then production.

Besides, Wang Hanzhang is paying attention to these things at the same time, he is not idle, he is constantly recruiting people for training, this year to stutter, a lot of people to sell your life, Wang Hanzhang can't believe it, and suddenly recruited 10,000 people from Longling and other places south of the Nu River.

However, these people are all serious farmers, and they are purely here to eat, Wang Hanzhang needs to train them well, and when they are trained, they will have their own troops.

In order to avoid jealousy and hatred of others, Wang Hanzhang then gossiped, so he renamed these people as the reserve army of the expeditionary force, and the captured Japanese-style equipment came in handy.

The training of farmers has to start from scratch, but they are illiterate, they really can't read a big word, and they can't even tell the difference between left and right, which really gives Wang Hanzhang a headache, but the only thing that makes Wang Hanzhang more satisfied is that these people can bear hardships and stand hard work, and they won't play any petty roles, which Wang Hanzhang still likes very much.

Wang Hanzhang trained these people separately, 10,000 people were divided into eight infantry regiments, stationed in various control areas for training, originally Wang Hanzhang also wanted to train, but considering that those Tusi would rebel and rebel, so Wang Hanzhang directly put the recruits there for training, not only can be trained, but also can deter the Burmese natives, if these people dare to be disobedient, they can be suppressed directly, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Hanzhang let people teach them to shoot first.

Of course, relying on Wang Hanzhang alone is definitely not good, Wang Hanzhang naturally has a way, that is, to ask Wei Lihuang for help, Wang Hanzhang knows that many people want to make contributions and make a name for themselves in these years, and at the same time there are many people who have no talents, especially in the expeditionary force, there are many capable people, they must be pressed, and the people above can't be promoted, and they naturally can't be promoted, and Wang Hanzhang just needs a lot of such talents here.

Wang Hanzhang found Wei Lihuang again, and then said that it was beneficial to establish an expeditionary force reserve army, and Wei Lihuang was quickly convinced.

Although it is the Central Army, he is not very thin, but Wei Lihuang also knows that there must be many people in it who want to change positions, and Wang Hanzhang only needs his consent, and he can do the rest, and Wang Hanzhang does not poach other senior officers, as long as the people in the battalion are fine.

Wang Hanzhang's goal is to have another experienced officer in each company of his eight regiments, so the eight regiments will only have about 100 officers, and the expeditionary force will have 300,000 people, and it will not be a problem at all to draw out about 100 people, and it will not affect anything.

After Wang Hanzhang got Wei Lihuang's permission, he immediately sent a report to the people of each division, saying that he would form a reserve army, maintain the rear, collect taxes, and replenish the front line if necessary, but the training of recruits requires a large number of officers, so that each department can recommend them as appropriate, and the rank and age are ...... It doesn't matter, as long as you have the ability, you can have ten people in each division, of course, the more the better.

The ministries soon received Wang Hanzhang's telegram, which helped a lot of people, because in this period of more serious bureaucratic style, everyone had a lot of annoying people, and now Wang Hanzhang wants people, and the superiors can naturally push out their subordinates who they don't like to Wang Hanzhang, and once they have completed the task, they are not too offended.

In the following half a month, Wang Hanzhang accepted more than 300 officers and ruffians sent by various ministries, Wang Hanzhang felt that what he said was very useful, Wang Hanzhang knew that although these people were more difficult to get along with and were freaks in the eyes of others, they must have some ability, even if the ability was sparse and ordinary, there would be no problem in teaching these recruits.

Wang Hanzhang conducted a unified assessment of these people, and then appointed them according to their ability, Wang Hanzhang naturally could not be satisfied with the strength of only eight regiments, he originally thought that he could only get a hundred people, but now it has three times at once, so Wang Hanzhang also plans to recruit 30,000 people. To enrich these people, Wang Hanzhang hopes to quickly pull the team up.

Wang Hanzhang is most lacking now is people, as long as there are enough people, Wang Hanzhang can occupy more territory, if he occupies Myanmar, the problem of raising hundreds of thousands of people should not be big, now Wang Hanzhang has controlled the county around Lashio, Mandalay is also in control, the next step Wang Hanzhang plans to march from Bamo to Myitkyina, but this needs to be after 30,000 horses arrive.

However, it will take about two months, so Wang Hanzhang still has to wait, but unfortunately, Wang Hanzhang feels that he does not have the spirit of Wang Ba, otherwise he will roar, and a large group of people will compete for allegiance, and now he can quickly pull up the troops.

At present, it will not be so easy to recruit soldiers, recruiting 10,000 people in Longling and other places south of the Nu River is already the limit, and a large number of people have fled before, so if you want to recruit soldiers now, you need to go to Yunnan, so it will take a long time to come and go. Without the support of the government, it is indeed very troublesome to get things done.

Of course, for Wang Hanzhang, it is the most important thing to let the people below be loyal to themselves, Wang Hanzhang wants to do great things, and it is definitely not possible to have a loyal army, so Wang Hanzhang also needs to run an officer school, specializing in training military talents, and other conditions permit, he also needs to run a cadre school to train administrative cadres, Wang Hanzhang has to do a lot of things, but although he has a little money in his hands, he is suffering from no talent.

Wang Hanzhang planned to wait for 20,000 of the 30,000 people to arrive, and then go to Myitkyina, because as long as the expeditionary force held the front line in Mandalay and Lashio, Myitkyina and other places would be very safe, and the economy here would not be greatly damaged, and the taxes collected would naturally be very large.

Moreover, Wang Hanzhang also plans to develop industry and establish an arsenal here, of course, there will be countless difficulties, the most difficult is the intervention of the British, the British will be the most difficult, and it is the kind that cannot be killed.
