CHAPTER XIX
After meeting with Zhang Dashuai, Li Fei returned to Nanjing, and now he sits in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, and the official business that needs to be handled every day makes him anxious, and all the county-level officials in various places are removed from their posts and replaced by clones under him, so as to strengthen his control over various places, and the surrendered warlord troops are screened, and those who are qualified to join his troops are disbanded, and all the others are disbanded, and the unclean sentences are imposed.
The most important thing is the land reform, which is the most important, the original landlord's land was confiscated and then distributed to the landless peasants, at the same time the distribution of seeds and farm tools, the abolition of the field tax, after the issuance of this policy caused an uproar, the landlords of the whole country scolded him, ordinary peasants are cheering, more happy than the New Year, high-yield seeds, farm tools, tractors, Li Fei even converted all the captured biplanes into pesticide planes, plus the land in the south of the Yangtze River, the coming year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
The recruitment of the army is also smooth, even if there is no preferential treatment, just for their own land, there will be a large number of soldiers who work hard for him Li Dashuai, the recruitment work in the three provinces lasted for several months, more than 300,000 recruits were conscripted into the army, most of the veterans of the original army were transferred to the new unit, Li Fei would not expand to other regions before the army training was completed, and the surrounding warlords were also relieved.
The expansion of the navy is relatively slow, after all, the hundred-year-old navy is not in vain, Li Fei does not want to be all clones, but only served the first aircraft carrier Essex-class Yangtze River, due to the lack of pilots, there are hundreds of fighters in the entire aircraft carrier, but only twelve can be lifted into the air for combat, the captain Chen Shaokuan repeatedly asked for the transfer of pilots from the air force, but the air force sternly refused, our pilots are not enough, wait until enough.
Chen Shaokuan not only did not want people, but also suffered a blow from within the navy, the old giant ship artillery faction did not recognize the aircraft carrier, Chen Jiliang, Lin Jianzhang repeatedly asked Li Fei to transfer the sailors of the aircraft carrier to the battleship first, you must know that Chen Shaokuan's Yangtze River is the only one in the navy warships with enough troops, most of the warships only have half of the sailors, and Zhang Dashuai is even more serious, basically only can start the battleship, don't think about the rest.
After the expansion, the army has the 1st Armored Division, the 1st to 12th Infantry Divisions, the 1st Artillery Division, the Special Artillery Brigade, and the Navy has two battleships, one aircraft carrier, 17 destroyers, six armored ships and cruisers, and the 1st Marine Division.
Two fighter wings, one attack aircraft wing, one bomber group of the Air Force.
