Chapter 003: Expansion of the Army

On March 15, the literati reported to Wang Hanzhang that all the Indians east of the Brahmaputra River had left, and that it was now completely Chinese territory, and that no one would cause trouble for Wang Hanzhang anymore.

Wang Hanzhang calculated that they had completed the goal in only forty-three days, 17 days earlier than the time given to them by Wang Hanzhang, it was indeed not easy, Wang Hanzhang praised the literati fiercely, and the literati were very embarrassed.

And Wang Hanzhang didn't know that his subordinates left a good impression on Wang Hanzhang in order to be able to complete the task perfectly, but they used their strength to eat milk, they compared each other to see who was more powerful, and when the time came, they invited credit, and finally paid off their efforts and completed the task ahead of schedule.

The departure of the Indians, a stone in Wang Hanzhang's heart finally fell, the absolute control between the Salween River and the Brahmaputra River in the hands of Wang Hanzhang is Wang Hanzhang's heart disease, and now it is finally controlled in the hands of Wang Hanzhang, and there is nothing to oppose internally.

After these Indians left, a large number of houses, especially the food left behind, was enough for 20 million people to eat for half a year.

Wang Hanzhang immediately expanded the scale of immigration with sufficient food, and tried to immigrate 5 million people in the first half of the year, Wang Hanzhang believes that Baihuahua's rice will definitely attract countless people here.

In addition, Wang Hanzhang was ashamed to say that it was not unfounded to immigrate five million people, because there was a big war in the country soon, even if Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to change the status quo, Wang Hanzhang would support Long Yun to fight against the Japanese army in Guangxi, and then the Japanese army in French China, after all, Wang Hanzhang promised Long Yun to help him become the emperor, and now that Burma is stable, it is time to act, Wang Hanzhang also transferred the materials that can form an army of 100,000 from the collected British materials to Long Yun, It is hoped that they will get the soldiers familiar with the weapon as soon as possible.

And Long Yun received so many supplies, he really believed Wang Hanzhang's words, if Wang Hanzhang was not sincere, he would never give so many materials at once, the arms and materials of the 100,000 army are not a small amount!

After Long Yun received Wang Hanzhang's telegram, he accelerated the training of soldiers, and at the same time recruited new soldiers to occupy Annan, now this soldier is not enough, now Long Yun is not short of food, Wang Hanzhang has automatically agreed to provide food.

In addition, Wang Hanzhang also knew that among the local warlords, the Gui family was not lonely, and there were many capable people, and soldiers could also fight, Wang Hanzhang believed that as long as they supported themselves, they would definitely be willing to launch a new offensive, and when the time came, there would be a lot of refugees after the recovery of the place, Wang Hanzhang did not believe that the rice of Burma could not attract them.

After Wang Hanzhang laid out a good situation in the country, he also made a big move in Myanmar, after the last time he got together with the wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers had a surprisingly good impression of Wang Hanzhang, and a considerable number of lightly wounded people refused to return to the team after they were healed.

With so many experienced and rich soldiers who can fight well and are willing to follow him, Wang Hanzhang feels that his previous efforts have made great gains, and it is not in vain that he has worked so hard

Wang Hanzhang needs these people too often, he has no talents, and he can't cultivate talents for a while, so he can only dig into the corners of other people's walls, so he agreed to let these people stay, but in order to appease their superiors, Wang Hanzhang still broke the bank.

Among the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, nearly 10,000 decided to stay, of course, not including those who were disabled and could not serve, this expeditionary force suddenly lost so many people, and their superiors were not easy to explain to Chongqing, but it would be much easier for Wang Hanzhang to give money.

With a large number of officers and veterans, and Wang Hanzhang having captured so many weapons and materials from the British, Wang Hanzhang thought it was time to expand the army.

Wang Hanzhang believes that even if he does not take the initiative to attack, 500,000 troops are needed to ensure the security of Myanmar. And now Wang Hanzhang only has 150,000 troops, and there is still a shortage of 350,000 troops.

The expeditionary force may have to leave at any time, Wang Hanzhang can't put his hope on the expeditionary force, Wang Hanzhang will have to rely on himself in the future, only if he has it, he doesn't have to ask others, otherwise in the long run, I don't know what will happen.

Now Wang Hanzhang has nearly 10,000 veterans and officers, and the problem of officers has been solved, and he does not have to worry about weapons and food.

In terms of immigration, there are now more than 4 million domestic immigrants, and if you add the people in Longling, Ruili and other places that Long Yun assigned to Wang Hanzhang, there are more than 5 million real Chinese.

Moreover, immigrants are still pouring in, and the disaster in Henan has reached its worst time, and both farmers and landlords can no longer survive, so everyone can only leave their hometowns in order to have a bite to eat. Going to Myanmar to eat steamed buns and white rice with white flowers has long been spread, and now everyone's goal is only one to reach Yunnan, because there is a soup kitchen set up by Myanmar, as long as they get there, they can not starve to death, they can reach Myanmar to get a piece of arable land, and then there is enough food for them to live, there is this glimmer of hope in the hearts of every refugee, they are not so numb, they don't know where the hope is. There is a lot of hope in their hearts, yes, their hope is in Myanmar, and only when they get there can they live.

On the Yunnan-Burma Highway, refugees are now connected together, stretching for thousands of miles, not only from Henan, but also from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and even refugees from enemy-occupied areas.

Although the large number of people leaving made some Kuomintang officials very dissatisfied with Wang Hanzhang, they could not stop it, they did not have so much food to feed these refugees, and they were even more reluctant to use their own money to help them.

The population is getting more and more, so that there is no problem in recruiting soldiers, and the soldiers can immediately get a lot of land, and there is also a lot of food, many people look at the cultivated land and food allocated to them and cry, many of them have eaten human flesh before, thinking of the tragic situation during the famine, thinking about the food at home now enough to eat for half a year, and now they can soon grow rice, and they will have endless food in the future.

Whether it was out of gratitude or wanting more arable land and food, Wang Hanzhang's conscription work was very smooth, as soon as he heard that Wang Hanzhang was going to conscript, everyone rushed to sign up first, and many people who failed to be elected were still very frustrated.

An old lady said goodbye to her son and said: "Son, the life of our whole family is given by Wang Dashuai, you go to be a soldier, you have to behave well in the future, who can't get along with Dashuai, you will know with him desperately!" ”

The young man said: "Mother, don't worry, I'll try to be handsome in the future." ”

The old lady said: "You have to take care of yourself in the army, and you still have a younger brother at home, so you can relax and don't worry about us." ”

The young man choked up and said, "I know, that mother, I'm gone, Dad, I'm leaving!" The young man said to the uncle who had been smoking a dry bag cigarette without speaking.

The uncle was not good at words, and he was not as sentimental as a woman, so he could only express his emotions by smoking, and then watched his son leave like the rest of the soldiers.

And this touching scene happened to countless recruits, some of them were eldest brothers sending younger brothers, some younger brothers sending younger brothers, some younger sisters sending younger brothers, and some elder brothers sending younger sisters, etc.

The conscription took only half a month from front to back, and all the numbers were recruited, and the military department set up by Wang Hanzhang assigned the wounded soldiers to recruit according to their talents according to their previous situation, and they would be their soldiers in the future.

Many veterans have realized their wishes for many years at once, they have finally been promoted, and after more than ten years of soldiers, they finally became squad leaders, although the officials are not big, but they attach importance to an encouragement, and the above also tells them that as long as they have the ability, then they will perform well, and some will be promoted in the future, Wang Hanzhang's subordinates only promote loyal and capable people, and will definitely not promote those who will only be able to slap horses, every soldier, especially veterans, has seen hope, when they joined Wang Hanzhang's team, It is also to see Wang Hanzhang's ability, as well as his character, they believe that Wang Hanzhang will not treat them badly, or they believe that Wang Hanzhang will not be worse than before, so everyone does their best to teach the recruits their knowledge and experience.

They not only want to repay Wang Hanzhang for his kindness, but also in order not to be looked down upon, in order to be promoted, and to tell others that they are capable.

The recruits were recruited so quickly, Wang Hanzhang is suddenly a little overwhelmed now, it's too fast, originally Wang Hanzhang needed at least two months, but I didn't expect it to be only half a month. Wang Hanzhang didn't know that now he himself was already a god in the hearts of the Burmese people, everyone worshiped him, who told Wang Hanzhang to worry that there were many Japanese spies and spies mixed in, and he was afraid that he would be assassinated and delay the big event.

Wang Hanzhang only felt that everything he did was like having a cheat, could it be that the traversers had this kind of invisible ability.

In the attack on Britain, so many materials were seized at once, Wang Hanzhang couldn't believe that Britain was also short of supplies, and there was no reason to store so many materials here when the situation in Europe was erosive, and there was no record in history. In addition, the expulsion of the Indians went so smoothly, and now the recruitment of troops is so smooth, it really feels like a dream, everything is really going too well.

After recruiting new soldiers, Wang Hanzhang replaced all the weapons and equipment with American-style equipment, and the eliminated Japanese equipment was shipped to China, anyway, after so many years, plus the Anti-Japanese War period bought Japanese-style equipment, China has an arsenal for the production of ammunition for Japanese-style weapons, and Wang Hanzhang does not, Wang Hanzhang has nothing, now there are American-style weapons, and the arsenal that directly produces American-style equipment can save a lot of money, manpower, and material resources.
