After breakfast, Chen Shao asked Wang Jie to go to the Ministry of National Defense to announce the convening of a high-level military meeting.

The Red Alert base has been upgraded, with a lot of weapons and equipment, and the army will also have to change its deployment. The main purpose is to better cope with the use of new weapons and equipment, and as far as possible, after the start of World War II, the army, navy, and air force will set up an exclusive unit for red police weapons.

Chen Shao did not want to equip the Red Alert weapons to various group armies, but wanted to use them in a centralized manner, and only equip the elite troops with the strongest combat effectiveness. And it is a centralized equipment, which will not be used in a decentralized manner.

At the same time, Chen Shao will not stop developing his own weapons, and China will still have to embark on its own path of military science and technology development in the future, and red police weapons can be used for reference, but they cannot be relied on. It is also in order to let the development of domestic weapons research go smoothly, Chen Shao will also produce weapons and equipment developed by China itself, but the quantity will not be very large. After all, with Red Alert weapons, the demand has dropped, and the output has also to fall, so just keep its own weapon production able to operate at a high level.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Shao first listened to the situation of army building in various military regions. Today in Western countries, it's New Year's Day. In China, there is no such holiday, just an ordinary day. Even if Chen Shao did not convene a military meeting, an annual military report meeting would be held in a few days. It's just that Chen Shao has advanced this date.

China's national defense is composed of four major military regions, plus the Janissary Army garrisoned in Hanjing, the Jungle Army in Borneo, and the Mountain Army in Tibet, not counting the naval and air forces. The Mongolian Military Region and the Northeast Military Region are the most powerful, and the Southern Military Region and the Northwestern Military Region are not bad, but the area of defense is very large and the forces are relatively scattered. In addition, there are coast guard units of the Navy and coastal land-based defense units of the Air Force in the south. And there were also two separate army groups, and the overall strength was also very strong.

In terms of maritime power, there are a number of large naval bases around the waters of China, from the South China Sea and Borneo to Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, to Jeju Island and the Yellow Sea. Forming a solid line of defense, there were permanent naval ports in each place. With the land-based air force, it can be said that it is impregnable.

In the past, the mountain armies were composed of Chinese, but now with the convenience of Tibet, China has repeatedly provided humanitarian assistance to Nepal. Many Gurkha gradually joined the Mountain Army, and the British were helpless about it.

Although they controlled it, the economy was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat a meal a day. And the British, apart from asking their men to serve as soldiers, did not build the economy there. In fact, it was there that it was too difficult to build an economy, and the British had no choice but to let it go.

Under Chen Shao's instructions, the Chinese side continued to flow goods into Nepal, and when they encountered famine, they also provided humanitarian assistance many times. Coupled with the constant propaganda, many Gurkha people are willing to go to China to serve as soldiers. For them, being a soldier is the best way out, and there is no one. And in the eyes of the Gurkhas, those who serve in the army are heroes, and the priority objects of young women are those men who serve as soldiers abroad. The main point is that being a soldier has a high income, can feed the family, and no longer has to worry about hunger.

The salaries of the Chinese army were much higher than those of the British, so over the years, the British wanted to form another Gurkha Mountain Brigade, because many Gurkha people were willing to go to China to serve as soldiers. And there is another reason, in the Chinese army, as long as you have that ability, you can become an officer, so that it is much more promising than in the hands of the British.

The British have always been under pressure from China, and they do not dare to oppress Nepal excessively, so they can only turn a blind eye to this situation and let it go.

Due to the population, there are not many Gurkha soldiers who come to China to join the army, but they account for a large proportion of the mountain group army. Every year when soldiers go back to visit their families, they can bring back many, many gifts, and every time a soldier returns, they can bring a lot of young Gurkhas. Eliminate those who are in poor health and those who are qualified, and basically those who come do not refuse.

For ten years, more than half of the soldiers of the Mountain Army were Gurkhas. As a result, the number of Gurkha men in Nepal has decreased dramatically, but fortunately, Chen Shao did not fail them, at least in the future, there will be no problem with eating.

The soldiers in the jungle army are all composed of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, including Thais, Burmese, Vietnamese and many other Southeast Asian races, but there is one point, Chen Shao does not want Javanese. Every year when it comes to conscription day, the conscription points in Southeast Asia will be surrounded by Southeast Asians. There is only one reason for this, and that is that they are attracted by high military salaries. For them, starvation is much more terrible than going to war, and as long as they become soldiers, they can move their families to live in pilot cities, which is absolutely attractive to those Southeast Asian peoples who have been oppressed by the French.

Chen Shao also expanded the size of the jungle group army once in a few years, and also took the elite route. As soon as the two years have passed, the recruits will begin to undergo devilish jungle training, and injuries and bleeding during training are commonplace. Chen Shao's standard for other troops is: sweat more in training, and shed less blood in wartime. The training criterion for the jungle army is: more bloodshed in training and less bloodshed in wartime.

He had an indescribable feeling about jungle warfare, and no matter what jungle warfare it was in history, it was always accompanied by huge casualty figures. He didn't want the Chinese soldiers to drill into the jungle, but he also didn't want those Southeast Asian soldiers to sacrifice senselessly. No matter what race they were before they joined the army, as long as they entered the barracks, they were a group of soldiers who were loyal to him. Chen Shao couldn't bear to let them be cannon fodder, so he was demanding of them.

He was not a cold-blooded man, a group of soldiers who were extremely loyal to him, and he could not be insensitive. They believe in themselves, they step into the jungle for themselves, lie on the mountain of knives, roll in the sea of blood, fight to the death with their enemies without fear of death, and he cannot ignore them. If Chen Shao used to reduce the casualties of Chinese soldiers, now he has made up his mind that as long as it is his own soldiers, as long as it is a soldier who fights for his own goals, he will be responsible for them to the end.

Therefore, at the end of each year, Chen Shao would learn in detail about the current situation of the two armies with many foreign nationalities. He usually pays attention to it, but he wants to know more about it. And Chen Shao also issued a new military regulation, there is no racial distinction in the army, all ethnic groups are equal, and soldiers of all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia must not be discriminated against and oppressed.

Of course, this article is useful in the army, and as for those who did not serve as soldiers, Chen Shao did not pay much attention to them. He is like this, as long as you are sincere for me and for this country, no matter what your original intention is, you will treat them equally. As long as they are Chinese soldiers, after they put on military uniforms, they regard this country and the people as their own goal in their hearts, and they deserve the respect of anyone, including Chen Shao.

There are all kinds of people, and some ethnic groups in Southeast Asia are very friendly to the Chinese, and some are very unfriendly to the Chinese. For those people, Chen Shao will not leave his hand at that time, China does not mind accepting all rivers, but it does not need those who have ill intentions. For that kind of person, Chen Shao has only one action, and that is to slap all of them to death. Save yourself from polluting the air.

These two armies themselves limited their armament because of their combat missions. In particular, the mountain army group, which could not find a single gun of more than 105 mm as a whole, was mainly a problem of transportation. However, there are also some light armored vehicles that can be used in some places. As for the supporting fire, a lot of it is small-caliber infantry guns and mortars, rocket launchers.

The jungle army is better than the mountain army in that it is equipped with a very small number of heavy artillery, but the scale is also very small and small. There are more 105 caliber guns, and cannons are the majority.

However, the two armies have a lot in common, and they are equipped with light and heavy machine guns on a large scale, which is much more than that of other field armies. The main force of logistics is not trucks, but horses. Of course, there are also a certain number of trucks, but more often than not, mules and horses. This is thanks to the fact that Chen Shao has built a lot of livestock breeding bases, which can not only provide meat products, but also provide a lot of high-quality horses to transport ammunition.

Helicopter, Chen Shao got this thing out nine years ago, and after nine years of development, the scale is not small. The two armies were heavily equipped with this new type of aircraft, and the mountains and jungles could not have any impact on this new type of aircraft. The two cooperate with each other, and the combat effectiveness that bursts out is much higher than that of the ordinary army.

China has been at peace for ten years, and neither of the two group armies has been tested on the battlefield, and as for how much combat effectiveness they can burst out on the battlefield, it will only be clear when the war breaks out.

After listening to the reports of various military regions, Chen Shao shifted the topic to the theme of today's meeting.

"With today's meeting, I would like to introduce you to three new instructors. John. Rambo, Cheng Xiaolong, Yi Fei, come in. ”

Chen Shao got up and spoke.

Immediately, the door of the conference room was opened, and Wang Jie led three perfect-level instructors in. After the three of them came in, they first saluted Chen Shao, and then saluted the senior generals in the conference room.

Jiang Baili, Cai Yi and others also returned a military salute, and at this time they also saw that these three people were all wearing officer uniforms, and the military rank with epaulettes was still lieutenant general. Faced with these three high-ranking generals who seemed to suddenly jump out of stone, everyone was puzzled.

It came so suddenly! Where did three lieutenant generals pop up? Why haven't you heard of it before? Moreover, there is a foreigner here, and a foreigner has become a lieutenant general of the Chinese army, which is the first time in the history of the Wehrmacht. And he is also a lieutenant general of the navy, land and air force, and there is one in every branch of the military.

If Chen Shao hadn't let the three of them in, I'm afraid Jiang Baili and the others would have ordered the guards to take down these three people.

It was so surprising that they were a little caught off guard for a while.
