At present, there are almost 30 U-boats and old submarines sent by the Yankees in the entire naval base, and although the warships have not yet landed, they are beginning to take shape.

The next step is to recruit submariners, thirty submarines, almost fifty people on each submarine, plus training, logistics support personnel, that is, just to serve these thirty submarines, at least more than 3,000 people.

In addition to these, the fuel required for training, the equipment and accessories needed to maintain the submarine, the salaries of the personnel, and so on.

It can be said that this fleet can indeed come in handy when it fights, but at the same time, as long as the fleet exists for one day, it is equivalent to having an extra big mouth that consumes a lot of silver every day.

But fortunately, Trojan County is now not as good as it was then, arsenals, cement factories, fertilizer plants, steel products, etc., working non-stop 24 hours a day, and the ability to absorb gold is amazing, although the expenses are huge, but there is no problem in feeding this fleet.

The problem lies in the recruitment of soldiers.

It is very impossible to recruit submariners on the spot in Hong Kong, because after all, Hong Kong is now a mixed bag, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no people with ill intentions to get involved, not to mention that the will to fight and the quality of fighting are not very reliable.

Lu Yuan selected more than 5,000 people from Trojan Horse County and stationed at the Lantau Naval Base by ship in batches.

These more than 5,000 people not only include soldiers, but also some women, children, the elderly, and so on.

The current Trojan Horse County is like a stable rear for Lu Yuan, and all the cultivated forces will be transferred to Hong Kong in the future, and these people will become the basis for him to resist all pressures in the future, so it is not too difficult to make this decision.

Most of the people in Muma County have migrated from all over the country, and they have come to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan has asked them to go to Hong Kong, but they don't have too many opinions, after all, for them, as long as Lu Yuan and the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment are there, that place is their home.

Even with these 5,000 people, the number of people on Lantau Island is still far from enough.

After all, Lantau Island is a springboard for the road to dominate Hong Kong, and it will not only have a naval base, but will also garrison troops in the future.

Therefore, in addition to the group of people sent from Trojan County, Xu Yun also carried out recruitment activities in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and a large number of young people migrated to Lantau Island under the promise of various benefits.

However, such a large-scale move is difficult to hide from the eyes of Britain and the United States.

Sir Yang Muqi drove to Lantau Island with his entourage, and when he saw the submarines in the dock, he was immediately furious, and denounced Lu Yuan for not being trustworthy in eating inside and out, and actually colluding with the Germans, and also threatened to report to Prime Minister Churchill and tear up all kinds of agreements reached with Lu Yuan before.

After hearing the news of these submarines, Jason Bronson also found a way to go and strongly condemned them, and his anger was indescribable.

"Why am I called collusion with the Germans?"

Lu Yuan spread his hands and looked at the two envoys with an expression of injustice through the ages, and said: "I am standing on a humanitarian standpoint, using penicillin to help those poor wounded, and the Germans sent me some submarines in return - we are allies, these submarines are in my hands, which is equivalent to enhancing the strength of both of us, and indirectly weakening the strength of the Germans. ”

"You, you...... You are a strong argument - Captain Lu, in our hearts, you were originally a big hero who stood up to the sky, but we never thought that you would be this kind of person! ”

Jason said with a sad expression on his face that his idol had collapsed: "You simply disappointed us......"

“…… Okay, okay, I'm wrong, right? ”

Lu Yuan said: "But you should also know, I can't help it, I want a submarine warship, what is it for?" It's not for you, it's for you, it's to help you hold Hong Kong, to help you have a foothold in East Asia...... If you ask for a submarine warship, your prime minister and president will either give you some old antiques that were built hundreds of years ago and have been obsolete, or they will pretend that they can't hear anything...... If you don't help, won't you let me figure it out on my own? ”

Jason Bronson was trembling with rage, and it looked like he was going to faint.

In the face of the fierce condemnation of the two, Wang Ma Gong, Big Dog Bear and others laughed heartlessly, for them, the condemnation does not hurt, give them a car and estimate that they are not afraid.

"I don't want a life-saving strategic material like penicillin to fall into the hands of the enemy, if you can give me what I want, can I make a deal with the Germans? Isn't that – I apologize to your Prime Minister, Mr. President, on my behalf, and say that I know I was wrong, and let them forgive me for once! ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "I'm almost already in the submarine or something, if you can help me think of a way to warships, I don't need to risk being the enemy of the whole world to trade with the Germans......"

"You, you, you......"

Jason Bronson trembled like a madman when he heard this, and said to himself, that is, if we don't give you warships, you will continue to trade with the Germans—don't you know that if your penicillin saves one more wounded German soldier, it is equivalent to creating one more enemy for our British Empire and the United States of America?

But there is no way, who let Lu Yuan have the big killer of penicillin in his hands?

So the two cried and said that they would go back and think about communicating with Mr. President and Mr. Prime Minister.

"Oh, by the way, you'll see if you can help a little bit with the plane?"

Lu Yuan said: "You also know that the six planes in our county are all eliminated goods snatched from the Japanese, and they have been used carefully in the past two years, but they are also broken, if you can support some aircraft, when the Japanese army attacks Hong Kong in the future, we also have all the sea, land and air forces, and the little devils who guarantee the fight will not return......

With a clang, the teacups, tables and chairs rattled, and Jason Bronson fell straight to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth.

Lu Yuan said depressedly: "No, I'm dizzy again-if you don't give it, I'll find the Germans again!" ”

"Brother Yuan, I'm afraid I'm really dizzy this time......"

The pimple thief laughed and waved his hand to quickly let Jason Bronson carry him away.

"Leader, according to your method, the gods will be dizzy......"

Wang Ma Pole Big Dog Bear and the others laughed, Mao Ying and Su Yan shook their heads and smiled bitterly, only Chen Tianmin looked excited: "Regiment Leader, do you say that Britain and the United States will sponsor our plane?" I heard that the British Yankee's plane is much stronger than the broken plane of the little devil......"
