Double travel through the Republic of China, start with zero yuan to buy and fight against Japan

Prime Minister Koizumi learned that those returning home could not take away valuable antiques and cultural relics, but could only take away their own personal belongings.

He was very angry when he found out. He never expected that the Empire of Japan would fall into such a state. It was truly shameful.

He shouted angrily that this was simply banditry.

What’s even more infuriating is that Eagle Sauce and Captain John Bull actually implemented this plan in unison.

It's even more embarrassing that they were afraid.

He probably didn't notice that the port was being targeted by 105mm heavy artillery, and one shot would kill a lot of people.

People are not fools, how could they not value their own lives?

Money has to be earned, but it also has to be spent.

After this incident was published in newspapers in other countries, many foreigners naturally ridiculed the Japanese even more.

Their international reputation and prestige declined further.

On the fifth day after Zhao Yun returned to Zhangjiakou, half of the National Defense Army's troops had arrived and were waiting for weapons to be distributed near Rehe and Chengde.

Currently, only the soldiers from the Land of Abundance and Spring City are still on the way due to distance issues.

The Red Army acted quickly, sending out 100,000 people at once.

Since they travel to the outside world via Xi'an, the railway capacity in Xi'an is insufficient.

The people from the Northeastern and Northwestern armies who were not yet ready to set off could only wait until the next batch was transported.

Jin Province and Quancheng were reached quickly because of their close proximity and strong mobility.

This was the first large-scale troop mobilization in the country, and it was also a test for facilities such as railways and roads.

It can be used to test their carrying capacity in war situations.

Zhao Yun is planning in his office what supplies to purchase this time. He has to plan it out before he can set off.

He suddenly heard the office door open, and when he saw that the person who came was Chief of Staff Wang, he spoke.

"What's the matter, Lao Wang?"

"Commander-in-chief, 400,000 National Defense Forces have already arrived near Chengde, Rehe, and are waiting for weapons from you, the Minister of Logistics."

"Oh, we're here so soon. It looks like the bosses didn't cause any trouble for us this time. That's good."

"Then we will first distribute weapons to the Red Army, then start training, and then distribute weapons to troops in other places."

"The Red Army needs three months of training before they can go to the front line. The troops of the bosses should have been trained, so they just need to adapt."

"Okay, Commander-in-Chief."

Chief of Staff Wang received the order and immediately made arrangements.

Zhao Yun felt confident and decided to act according to the plan to drive them out of the Northeast before Xiao Rizi could get new weapons.

At the very least, we have to drive them to the northeastern border area, so that we will have some strategic space when the war starts.

As the Minister of Logistics of the National Defense Forces, he was really badly betrayed.

After all, he provided all the weapons, so if he doesn't give him benefits in the future, he will be at a great loss.

Although the money spent was all earned through fraud, outsiders don't know this and think that I am even more of a victim than Yuan Datou.

He thought about it and decided to open department store branches in the core cities of other big bosses.

This will not only intensify the crackdown on markets occupied by foreigners, but will also benefit more people.

This way he could get back some of his investment, and this was agreed upon at the beginning, but he currently doesn't have that many people and goods.

This time when I go back I will increase the storage capacity of goods. I really can't continue to be so passive.

Chief of Staff Wang personally called the Arsenal Management Office and asked the quartermaster to issue weapons to the Red Army first.

Currently, the only large warehouse accessible to the public stores one million pieces of equipment of the Russian Empire and is open to the Red Army.

Chief of Staff Wang contacted the Red Army's representatives in the National Defense Army via the radio and informed them that they could send people to collect the equipment.

On that day, they brought a regiment of baggage soldiers to the huge arsenal in Zhangjiakou.

When they were approved and allowed to enter, everyone who entered the warehouse was dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a scene before. The rows of cannons were endless, and the tanks were also endless.

They also saw mortars, which they were familiar with, but they also had no end in sight.

"There are a total of 100,000 of you, right?" the quartermaster asked politely.

"Yes, a total of 100,000 people."

The representative originally thought that the weapons given might not be that good and might even be broken.

Now that he saw so many big guys, what was there to be dissatisfied about? So he spoke very kindly.

"Well, there are seven divisions' worth of equipment in total. Some special equipment is not included. I'll explain this to you when I'm done."

"When you return, select the soldiers you think are the best, and the officer corps will train them individually."

"Tankmen, artillerymen and other technical soldiers need to be trained and qualified before they can use these equipment, so you need to arrange this yourself, we are only responsible for training."

The quartermaster explained very seriously that their task was to distribute weapons to the other party, but seeing that the other party didn't understand anything, it would be better to explain it.

"Okay, you guys send baggage soldiers to transport the goods according to the number of people in each division. We will be responsible for delivering those who can't drive, and we will talk about the subsequent driver training later."

"Here is the weapons list and quantity. Take it back and give it to your commander. If you have no objections, just inform our Chief of Staff Wang."

The Red Army's scouts went back to report the news, and the rest stayed behind to sort out their weapons.

The soldiers of this regiment who were sorting things in the warehouse had smiles on their faces that showed they were very happy.

They never expected such a big surprise and thought it would be a hard battle this time.

Soon, the seven division commanders of the Red Army saw the weapons list.

Even though he had seen a lot of the world, he was still shocked by the huge number.

"An infantry squad is equipped with ten Mosin-Nagant rifles, one Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle, two PPSh submachine guns, a pistol, and a rocket launcher. Each person is given five grenades, and each squad is given five rockets. Each person is given 200 rounds of rifle ammunition, and rounds of submachine gun ammunition."

"Three squads form a platoon, each with an automatic rifle squad equipped with eight AKs."

"Three platoons form a company, with a weapons platoon equipped with two vehicles, three 3mm mortars, 60 rounds of shells, two light machine guns, and 180 rounds of machine gun ammunition. Each platoon is equipped with six radios."

“三个连为一个营，每营有一个兵器连，配备卡车1辆、吉普车2辆、8挺重机枪、6门81mm迫击炮以及八门火箭筒。”

“三个营为一个团，团部连配备6门106mm迫击炮，反坦克连配备12门57mm反坦克炮和5挺机枪。”

“三个团为一个旅，有一个坦克连10辆轻型坦克2辆中型坦克。一个炮兵营75野炮12门。105mm3门。”

"Three brigades make up a division, which has a tank battalion, an armored vehicle battalion, and an artillery battalion with a total of 105 24mm howitzers and 155 12mm howitzers."

These are just the weapon configurations. They didn’t continue to look at the other configurations, so what is there to look at?

With such a powerful configuration, it is not easy to defeat the Japanese.

But the division behind them had more than 1400 vehicles, which gave them a headache. They definitely didn't have so many drivers, and it would be difficult for them to learn quickly.

How an ordinary army can be quickly transformed into a mechanized army is a headache for them. They see the gap, a huge gap.
