Chapter 233: The Sichuan Army Changed Banners

As soon as they heard that Zhang Guochang asked them to go abroad, the three of them hesitated, and those who abandoned their homes and careers in China can be said to be fighting devils and going abroad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Junwei and the three looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing how to answer Zhang Guochang.

Zhang Guochang guessed their thoughts as soon as he saw the expressions of the three people, he must be unwilling to go to Nanyang and not want to leave China.

Busy smiled and said: "In fact, going to Nanyang is also fighting devils, according to my speculation, the little devils will launch an attack on Nanyang at the end of this year, at the latest at the beginning of next year, I want you to go in order to plan in advance and snipe the little devils in Nanyang." ā€

It was Li Junwei who spoke on their behalf, "Sir, what we don't understand is that our domestic devils haven't finished fighting yet, why do we want to go to Nanyang to help others fight devils." ā€

"Huh!" Zhang Guochang chuckled twice before he explained, "You all know that Japan is a country that has no resources such as iron ore, coal mines, and oil, and he started the war to plunder all kinds of resources necessary for development. ā€

"The little devil didn't expect that our China's determination to resist aggression is so great, don't look at the little devil seems to be going well in China, we have been losing the war, losing a city today, and losing another city tomorrow, in fact, the little devil is not easy at all, on the contrary, the little devil is about to be unable to hold on."

Li Junwei was just about to open his mouth to ask a question, but Zhang Guochang waved his hand and continued: "What is the war? It is a person who is beaten, and he is more able to be beaten than whom. How many little devils are there? More than 70 million! What about China? 450 million! China's recovery is vast, and drag can also drag down the little devils. ā€

"But what does this have to do with the little devil's attack on the South Seas?" Li Junwei couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it matters, the little devil's attack in China is not going well, to put it mildly, we have tens of millions of dead in China, and we can't hurt our bones and bones, but what about Japan? He couldn't stand the loss of one million yuan. The main thing is that Japan's economy is about to collapse, and in order to support the war, many of their citizens have been unable to eat, and even starved to death. ā€

"When the resources plundered in China are not enough to support him to continue the war, he only has two choices, either to end the war, and the little devil has invested so many troops and resources in China, obviously he will not choose to end the war. Then he had only one other option, to open another station line, to plunder resources to support the war in China. ā€ć€‚

"Looking around, the only place where the little devils can easily plunder is the South Sea Islands. And there is another resource in the Nanyang Islands that China does not have, and that is oil. ā€

"But now that Nanyang is the territory of foreigners, how dare the little devil provoke foreigners?"

"Why not? The Philippines was a Spanish colony; Indonesia was a Dutch colony; Now that both countries are very weak, Japan will not take them seriously at all. As for Britain, France, and the United States, as long as there were sufficient interests, the South Seas were rich in oil, rubber, copper ore, gold, and other resources that were indispensable for the war, as well as food that Japan urgently needed at present. What would he not dare to do for the sake of these resources? Let's not forget that Japan also has Germany as an ally behind it. ā€œ

"So what are we going to do in the South Seas? Wouldn't it be better to drive the little devils to the South Seas? Li Junwei's idea also represents the idea of the majority of the people, since he has swept the snow in front of the door, he has not yet gotten rid of the Japanese invasion, why bother to help Nanyang resist the invasion of the little devils.

"As I said just now, will the little devil let China go just because of the attack on Nanyang? No, even if he temporarily slows down his attack on China, once he has obtained a large amount of war materials in the South Seas, he will still continue to invade China. How can we resist at that point? ā€œ

"What we have to do is to go to Nanyang to make trouble for the little devil, we can't let him succeed easily, it's best to drag the little devil in Nanyang, so that our country will be easy, it's best to let the little devil be trapped in Nanyang, and can't get enough resources."

"In this way, the little devil's domestic economy will be even more difficult, and when the time comes, he won't even have to fight, and he will be dragged across."

Zhang Guochang finished speaking in one breath, stopped and drank tea slowly, leaving time for Li Junwei and the three of them to digest what they just said.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Junwei and the three of them got together and muttered something to discuss.

Zhang Guochang didn't bother to eavesdrop, it was too cheap, and Jiang Taigong took the bait for those who wanted to fish, and it was their loss not to go.

The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally reached a unified opinion, still represented by Li Junwei, "Sir, we agree to go to Nanyang, the brothers who joined the 99th Army before ......"

"All back to the old army!"

"This time I went abroad, I was afraid that the brothers would worry about their families, and the cost of settling in would ......"

"The brothers who go to Nanyang will receive a settling-in allowance of 50 oceans each, and the monthly military salary will be doubled."

"Then our ...... of the establishment"

"The original establishment will not be changed, only fine-tuning will be made, and some officers will be supplemented to enrich the grassroots commanders."

Zhang Guochang's crisp and neat answer made Li Junwei no longer have any worries.

"Still have questions? A piece is raised. Zhang Guochang asked with a smile.

"Ugh!" Zhang Guochang's answer was too simple, and Li Junwei was speechless for a while.

"Sir!" Sun Wenqian stood up and interjected.

"Something to say."

"Our weapons...... You also know that our Sichuan army is equipped ......," Sun Wenqian stammered.

Li Junwei patted his head, yes, how did he forget this stubble.

"All American-style equipment, like other troops, what they have, you have."

"Thank you, sir! This little life of ours will be handed over to the chief in the future. Li Junwei's eyes were red with excitement.

It's not that they are unproductive, it's that the Sichuan army is too poor, and as mentioned before, the Sichuan army is one of the bravest troops, one of the poorest equipped troops, and the one with the most deaths.

Lao Chiang wanted to use the Sichuan army, but he was reluctant to equip the Sichuan army with weapons.

There are only a small number of formal rifles in the Sichuan army, most of which are made in Hanyang in the 19th century, and it is good to have 5 bullets per person, and the specifications of 5 bullets are not the same, and some can't shoot them, so they are very precious, several people can't get a gun, and they wear straw sandals and carry big knives on their backs.

It's such equipment to fight devils who are armed to the teeth, saying that it is a battle, it is better to take your life to consume the devil's materials.

During the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan conscripted more than 4 million soldiers, which can be said to be a soldier without Sichuan.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guochang attaches great importance to the three people taking refuge.

These three Sichuan army divisions are the introduction, and with them, more Sichuan troops will come to take refuge in the future.

You must know that there are many mountainous jungles in Nanyang, and the domestic military sources are suitable for going to Nanyang, except for Yungui, the Sichuan army is the most suitable.

Sichuan is full of mountains and forests, and with a little training, these Sichuan troops are masters of jungle warfare.
