And Li Hansoul's appointment as the commander of the Fifth Army was also the result of careful consideration. In terms of qualifications and achievements, Li Hansoul did not do badly. It's just that the seniority in the Wehrmacht is a little worse.

Originally, several corps commanders didn't quite agree to let Li Hansoul serve as the commander of the newly built Fifth Legion, but the cannon master pushed back with a word: "Don't you know what it means to buy a horse bone?!" Deflated calf thing! Get the ball all over! ”

Pao Ye's words made everyone speechless. And Li Hansoul himself also knows that compared with the National Defense Army, his information and combat achievements are still a little worse. Although the background is better than most of them, the soldiers look at the merits of war!

So he also worked hard to prepare for a good battle, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the Fifth Army. And now, all the generals and colonels in the Fifth Army are officers from the National Defense University.

Originally, after the officers had completed their training, they would return to their respective units. But this time they were transferred to the newly built Fifth Legion, but they didn't lose either! Basically, everyone was promoted to a military rank.

With the backbone of these various troops, Li Hansoul can be regarded as a complete formation of the Fifth Army Corps. At the same time, he is also grateful to Tu Qianjun who promoted him! You know, the most guessed thing before he came over was that the Wehrmacht would arrange for him to do a similar idle job in logistics.

But what he never expected was that the Wehrmacht would give him a real job! Even what was formed for him turned out to be a legion of 200,000 people! Even those who arrived later were not treated badly by the Wehrmacht.

On the one hand, let them study in the National Defense University, and on the other hand, let them enter the Fifth Army Corps to participate in the construction of the corps. Of course, these people were also promoted by one level according to their previous ranks.

Death for a confidant! This is what Li Hansoul thinks in his heart now.

And Tu Qianjun's seemingly generous approach is actually cautious everywhere. First of all, 90% of Li Hansoul's soldiers were recruited in the three eastern provinces, and secondly, the proportion of Wehrmacht generals in the Fifth Army is not small!

The education system of the Wehrmacht has been formed, and as long as Li Hansoul really commands the troops to fight, then he will naturally command the Fifth Army Corps like an arm. But if you want to do something against the military order, it's basically no fun.

Second, although Tu Qianjun gave military power, he did not give local power. Li Hansoul is just the commander of the corps, and he also needs to be suppressed by logistics, military spending, etc.

Not like he was in Shantou. It is directly a grasp of the military and politics. Now he is only a military power, and there is no local power at all. There is no source of tax revenue, and it can only rely on the Wehrmacht to allocate funds.

And logistics is also directly managed by the General Logistics Department of the Wehrmacht, which is not visible in normal times. But if Li Hansoul has any moves. Once these are cut off, it won't be long before the Fifth Legion is in chaos on its own!

Tu Qianjun's prestige in the National Defense Forces and even in the entire three eastern provinces has reached a point that no one can match, whether he likes it or not, more than ninety percent of the people in the entire three eastern provinces regard him as a leader.

At the same time, it was established that any forces that tried to oppose him would not be supported in the three eastern provinces. Because of Tu Qianjun, the entire three eastern provinces are undoubtedly the only happy land in the war-torn Republic of China.

No one will dare to run amok here, and bearded and horse bandits will either be co-opted or exterminated. Commerce, industry and industry are growing by leaps and bounds! Several great victories in the war have raised the morale of the people in the entire three eastern provinces!

"Commander-in-chief, I came this time in the hope that if I can, the commander-in-chief will let our Fifth Army participate in a few actual battles!" Li Hansoul was also unambiguous, and said to Tu Qianjun: "Although we are still in the training stage for the time being. But I firmly believe that in half a year we will be able to form basic combat effectiveness! For the rest, the fighters only learned on the battlefield! ”

Listening to Li Hansoul's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but nodded. Then he smiled at Li Hansoul and said: "You have fought some battles, but now what you need is training and integration!" The troops have just been formed, and they still need to exercise more! Feel relieved! I'll let you go to the battlefield for a workout when I get a chance! ”

Then Tu Qianjun paused, and said to Li Hansoul: "How is it?!" Are you satisfied with the equipment?! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun ask, Li Hansoul smiled and said, "What can you not be satisfied with?!" These equipment, now let me go to fight with Little Japan, I have confidence! ”

"But...... Commander. Isn't this training volume of 50 rounds a day a bit too much?! Li Hansoul hesitated for a moment and said to Tu Qianjun. And Tu Qianjun waved his hand and said with emotion.

"Bullets are worth a lot of money. Are the lives of the warriors worth anything?! But seeing Tu Qianjun pour a cup of tea for Li Hansoul, he said with a smile: "Don't treat us as the government of Nanjing, and don't put the conditions of other places on us!" ”

"Now we have six blast furnaces with a daily output of 300 tons in the three eastern provinces. And our bullets have been replaced with steel bullets, and the supply of bullets is not a problem for us! ”

Tu Qianjun smiled at Li Hansoul, but in fact, he still concealed part of it. First of all, the two smelters built in the later stage actually produced 450 tons of iron per day! And those employees of the three eastern provinces who work in the steel mills have been rotated several batches in recent years!

Basically no one knows where they went. The arsenal of the three eastern provinces secretly made two batches of various machinery needed for the blast furnace according to the data given by Jia Xiaohou and others.

These machines, along with the employees who had been rotated and their families, quietly left the three eastern provinces. They are now working in two clandestine smelters in the Mongolian steppes.

The Mongolian steppe is full of treasures! Many minerals can be found almost by digging up, and in this era when there are no satellites, it is basically difficult for Americans to discover that the three eastern provinces have secretly built two blast furnaces themselves.

These two blast furnaces. It was built according to the 450 tons per day output built by American Steel in the later period. The agreement between U.S. Steel and the Wehrmacht included a clause that 50 percent of the mill's output must be sold to the Wehrmacht at cost price.

And 150 tons of the 450 tons were basically acquired by the Wehrmacht by acquiescence. It is claimed that the daily output is still 300 tons. Of course, half of the other 300 tons was actually sold to the Wehrmacht.

After several years of development, the steel bullet Jia Xiaohou has already been successfully developed, and it can be said that the production of bullets is not a problem for the national defense force now. And with the urgency of time, Tu Qianjun increased the amount of training in order to let the soldiers under his command have more shooting experience.

Tu Qianjun knew very well that at the beginning of the all-out war in 1937, the Japanese army's shooting, hand-to-hand combat, and fighting spirit capabilities could be described as at their peak! If you don't hurry up and train at this time. Then it will be too late to start a war! It can only be filled with human life!

Just when Tu Qianjun and Li Hansoul were talking happily, a rapid knock on the door sounded! Tu Qianjun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Come in!" ”

But he saw Shang Dinan hurriedly walk in, and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Commander, the German ambassador urgently asks to see you!" ”

Li Hansoul said goodbye with a very good look, and Tu Qianjun sent Li Hansoul to the door and said to Shang Dinan: "Bring him over!" Chandinan nodded, and went down to bring the German ambassador over.

The current German ambassador, Ernst Brown. Rohm hurriedly came to Tu Qianjun's office and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the heir to the throne of Hanover, Germany, Duke of Braunschweig, Ernst. Princess Federika, the daughter of August III and Princess Victoria of Prussia, is missing! ”

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he disappeared?! How can it be?! Although he was a little worried, Tu Qianjun was even more puzzled about what this Federica disappearance had to do with him?! I'm far away in Manchuria, even if I have the heart, I can't help it!

But then, Rohm smiled bitterly at Tu Qianjun and said, "Actually, this is just an external statement. Insiders know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is not missing at all. She's actually sneaking to you! His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief......"

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly! In Germany, he had promised Federica to come to her three years later. And if it weren't for Rohm's reminder, he would almost have forgotten about it, and more than three years have passed!

Thinking of this, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile bitterly. What he thought at the time was that Federica was just a little girl's mind, and after a long time, she would forget about herself. But what he didn't expect was that this proud little swan chose to run away from home directly to find himself!

"According to the news, Her Royal Highness Princess Federica flew a Tiger Shark I fighter jet from the airport directly towards Manchuria."

"What does the Führer think?!" Tu Qianjun directly did not ask the opinion of the German royal family, but asked the mustache's opinion. This couldn't help but make Röm stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

"The Führer said that he blessed you with a beautiful return!" Listening to Rohm's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile bitterly! It seems that the mustache really has a lot of resentment against the German royal family.

It is estimated that Juncker forced him to be unbearable, if he hadn't secretly pushed it, how could this princess get a fighter jet?! And the design of the Tiger Shark, although it is based on the FW-109.

But Tu Qianjun's change lies in the range of the FW-109. As the main aircraft of World War II, the piston fighter needs to be selected, and it must have a good ability to deal with various enemies in the sky in the future.

And the FW190 is obviously in line with this requirement In addition, because in the future it may be necessary to deal with the threat of this "Zero" fighter, which further reduces the range of options, in any case, the "Zero" is a pretty good fighter, and a little bit of a loophole for them is to find death!

Even the U.S. military was beaten by Zero in the early days of the Pacific War!

The FW-109 is different, the FW190 has a fast degree, good high-altitude energy, as long as the B&Z tactics are constantly used to defeat the "zero" type. In fact, this was also the tactic of the later P-51 Mustang. (To be continued)
