Chapter 220: Preparation for Acceptance
In the afternoon, Liu Changfeng received a telegram from the Wuhan Nationalist Government that the US military equipment of the two divisions had arrived ashore, and asked him to be ready to receive it; Liu Changfeng was overjoyed, and pondered in his heart that the work of how to meet these US military equipment was imminent, and according to the contract, the US Government would deliver the US military equipment of the two divisions in Zhumadian, Henan Province, that is to say, Liu Changfeng must send people to Zhumadian to receive this batch of equipment, fortunately, the southern part of Henan was within the control of the first theater of the Kuomintang army. Liu Changfeng could have taken it over calmly, and he even planned to let the troops train there for a period of time, so that the soldiers could know, familiarize, and master these new weapons, after all, cars, tanks, armored vehicles, these things were still a rare thing for Chinese soldiers in this period.

Liu Changfeng convened a meeting above the battalion level that night, and at this time, the scale of the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard had reached the strength of three regiments, which was already the size of a division of the Nationalist Army at that time. Du Yimin and Li Jie were naturally promoted to regiment commanders, and the other regiment commander was a veteran who recently joined the army, called Hu Wanjun, when he retired from the army, he was a regiment commander under Hu Zongnan, the king of the northwest, because he was dissatisfied with the competing interests and intrigue in the army at that time, he was disheartened, and angrily said that he was sick and discharged, he has been discharged from the army for many years, otherwise the army is not allowed to retire in this situation, and then the situation changed sharply, the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders invaded, and the blood in Hu Wanjun's heart finally boiled again, Because I heard that Feiyun Village had a thunderous anti-Japanese vanguard that had repeatedly defeated the Japanese army, I was secretly surprised in my heart, and came to Feiyun Village with the attitude of trying it out, but I stayed in a daze, and was also taken by Liu Changfeng at a glance, and after asking for some words, he made a decision on the spot, so he became a regiment commander in a daze.
Smith was invited by Liu Changfeng and also attended the meeting. In the past, in order to maintain the need for secrecy, Liu Changfeng never mentioned the matter of US military equipment in public after he became the owner of Feiyun Village, but now that the matter has been completed, there is no need to conceal it, and Liu Changfeng decided to announce this matter at today's meeting.
''Guys, do you know who Mr. Smith is?'' Liu Changfeng's eyes were blazing, and he slowly swept over everyone present.
''You know, isn't he just a foreigner?'' A battalion commander named Yuan Yongjian said with a smile that he had been a platoon commander when Lu Shaohui was in the 87th Division, and he was also promoted to battalion commander because the troops lacked officers and his military knowledge was not too good.
Everyone present let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and Liu Changfeng also smiled and said; ''He's a foreigner, and most importantly, he's our nobleman, his status is extraordinary, he's the presidential envoy of the most powerful country in the world right now - the United States, and he brought us two divisions of U.S. military equipmentγγγγγ''
Before Liu Changfeng finished speaking, a commotion broke out below, more than half of the people didn't know about it, and they couldn't help but be moved when they heard the words, especially Hu Wanjun, Gao Jun, Wang Feiyan, Deng Fei and others, who opened their mouths wide and couldn't close their mouths anymore.
''Commander-in-chief, you, what you say is true?'' Hu Wanjun's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
Liu Changfeng nodded and said with a smile; Of course it's true, I mentioned it to some of you two months ago, and now I have fulfilled my promise, this batch of equipment has arrived in Vietnam and is being shipped to Henan, and our next focus is to go to Henan to receive this batch of equipment. ββ
''The commander-in-chief is really a believer. Du Yimin cheered. The others were also thunderous with joy, bursting into bursts of warm applause, and their eyes looked at Liu Changfeng eagerly.
''Thank you, Mr. Smith, the Commander-in-Chief is right, you are truly our great man. Someone said loudly.
''No, no, no. ''Smith's head was like a rattle, and he said; ''This batch of supplies was won by General Liu with his ingenuity, and to be honest, I am an errand runner. ββ
Lu Shaohui said with a smile; "The Commander-in-Chief's credit is greater, of course, but Mr. Smith has also put in a lot of effort, and we still want to thank you." ββ
''yes, thank you, Mr. Smith. The crowd said.
Lu Shaohui's face was solemn and he said; Originally, the commander-in-chief and I were not going to tell you about this matter so quickly, but we are all our own brothers, and it is good for everyone to know about it, which can improve everyone's morale and confidence, but there is one point, everyone must keep it secret for the time being, if the Japanese know about it, they will definitely protest against the US government, and it will cause trouble, and they will even send planes to bomb it, do you know? ββ
''Got it.'' The stakes are very high, and everyone nodded with solemn faces.
Zhang Song's face was strange, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Liu Changfeng and Smith suspiciously.
"Okay, now I will announce how to receive this batch of materials, because this batch of materials has a large amount of mechanized equipment, and most of our soldiers will not use it, so our soldiers will have to undergo a period of training in the local area before they can go to the post operation, so we will have a lot of people going to the receiving site, for the sake of fairness, each regiment will send two battalions of soldiers, try to send some soldiers with a foundation and strong acceptance ability, do you have any opinions?" Liu Changfeng said solemnly.
Du Yimin, Li Jie, Hu Wanjun You look at me, I look at you, shook his head, Hu Wanjun secretly felt comforted in his heart, Liu Changfeng did not favor one over the other because he was a newcomer, this arrangement made him happy and convinced, and he had nothing to say.
''For the sake of safety, the troops will be divided into parts, and secretly go to Zhumadian, Henan Province as a squad platoon, and set off from now on, Situ Ming and I will go to Zhumadian to preside over the overall situation, Mr. Smith, you and I will go together, the big and small affairs of Feiyun Village will be handled by the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhuo Wei, Chief of Staff Zhang, Wang Feiyan, Lao Lu, thank you for your hard work. Liu Changfeng continued.
Everyone agreed, Lu Shaohui said; ''Well, brother, you can rest assured, but it's you, the courage on your body is not light.'' ββ
Then everyone discussed some details, before the meeting Liu Changfeng once again told the importance of confidentiality, and in the end, everyone left, leaving only Liu Changfeng, Lu Shaohui, Zhuo Wei and Zhang Song.
"Commander-in-chief, the U.S. government should be secretive about the U.S. military equipment of these two divisions, why are they acting in such a high-profile manner?'' Zhang Song asked the question in his heart.
"Chief of Staff, although the United States and Japan are still friendly countries on the surface, Japan's aggression against China has completely touched the national interests of the United States, and it is impossible for the United States to sit idly by and watch Japan turn China into its colony, and it can be said that the contradictions between the United States and Japan have become irreconcilable, and sooner or later they will become fire and water, especially US President Roosevelt, who is a very strong person and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes, but the US House of Representatives has restricted his propositions, and the high-profile appearance of US military equipment in China is just a little trick played by President Roosevelt. When the Japanese government protested, friction arose between the two countries, and this was exactly what President Roosevelt wanted to see. Liu Changfeng said with a smile.
''So there is a possibility that the United States will go to war with Japan?'' Zhang Song's eyes lit up and said eagerly.
"This is certain, Japan is poor in resources, oil, steel and other war materials are dependent on American imports, once the Americans impose sanctions on the Japanese, the arrogant war maniacs in Japan will jump over the wall in a hurry, and thus start a war against the United States." Liu Changfeng smiled.
''This jap is crazy. Zhang Song muttered.
''You're right, this little devil is crazy, Lao Lu, Zhuo Wei, you have to pay attention, our Feiyun Village has been recruiting troops recently, and it is impossible for the Japanese not to know about it, and once we leave Feiyun Village, the little devil may take the opportunity to attack you. Liu Changfeng said worriedly.
Liu Changfeng was right, the abnormal movement in Feiyun Village was soon learned by the reconnaissance troops of the Japanese army, and the next day, the battle plan for encircling and suppressing Feiyun Village was placed on the desk of the Libing of Ogizhou. (To be continued.) )
