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

Zhao Yun and Chief of Staff Wang were also looking at the documents and they soon finished reading them.

"Okay, I see everyone has finished reading it, so I'll start talking about the content. If you have no objection, it will be passed."

"The Jin Province has 100,000 troops and seven divisions, which are the First Army of the National Defense Army. The army commander is Li Mingquan and the army chief of staff is Zhao Jun."

"Quancheng has 100,000 troops and seven divisions, which are the Second Army of the National Defense Army. The commander is Wang Yong and the chief of staff is Zhao Debiao."

"Sichuan Province has 100,000 troops and seven divisions, which are the Third Army of the National Defense Army. The army commander is Liu Gui and the army chief of staff is Liu Erhu."

"Yun Province has 100,000 troops and seven divisions, which are the Fourth Army of the National Defense Army. The army commander is Long Aotian, and the army chief of staff is Wang Jinxi."

"The Northwest Army has 100,000 troops and seven divisions. It is the Fifth Army of the National Defense Army. The commander is Zhang Jian and the chief of staff is Li Hu."

"The Northeastern Army has 200,000 troops and 14 divisions, including the Sixth and Seventh Armies of the National Defense Army. The Sixth Army is commanded by Zhang Xiaojiu and the Chief of Staff is Zhang Han. The Seventh Army is commanded by Zhang Xiaowu and the Chief of Staff is Zhang Bei."

"The Red Army has 100,000 troops and seven divisions. It is the Eighth Army of the National Defense Army. The army commander is Li Pengsheng and the army chief of staff is Yang Tieniu."

"There are 800,000 troops in total. Almost all of the Northeast Army has been dispatched this time. Everyone can see that Young Marshal Wang is really fighting hard to take back his homeland."

"I will be the commander of the National Defense Force. We will change positions every year. We can discuss it when the time comes."

"The deputy chief of the national defense force is concurrently the deputy chief of the army of the Ministry of National Defense. He does not come to work, but only has supervisory power."

"Zhao Yun, the head of the General Logistics Department of the National Defense Forces, and Wang Qiming, the deputy head of the Logistics Department, who is also Zhao Yun's chief of staff, have all been met by you."

"Okay! That's it for the basic structure of our army. We only need to be responsible to the bosses, and we don't need to accept the command of the Ministry of Defense at all."

"Our primary mission is to eliminate the organized armed forces of the Japanese invaders entrenched in North China and Northeast China."

After he finished reading these contents, he turned his gaze to the people present.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Yun had no choice but to speak.

"Commander Wu, we have now successfully formed an army, which is naturally a great thing. However, almost all the weapons and equipment and most of the funds are under my responsibility, so can I make a small request?"

Everyone turned to look at him, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.

Zhao Yun then continued.

"Tomorrow I will launch an offensive against the Northeast region. If we want to win this battle, it is undoubtedly crucial to be familiar with the local terrain in advance. Therefore, I hope that the Northeast Army can send some personnel who are familiar with the terrain to temporarily join our front-line command and various combat units."

"As for the weapons, just go and get them as we agreed. At the same time, I will give you enough time for training and adaptation. However, you must maintain a high degree of unity in terms of communication skills and execution during combat."

"Every combat unit must have my people. Their purpose is to keep in touch with our frontline combat command at all times. I hope you can understand this clearly."

Minister Zhao's tone was very serious and he looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

Commander Wu continued.

"Please rest assured that the original intention of the establishment of the National Defense Force is to assist you in completing this arduous task, ensuring the safety of North China, and then ensuring the peace and stability of the entire northern region."

After Commander Wu expressed his views, he turned to look at the other people present and received unanimous approval from everyone, who nodded in agreement.

"We fully understand the difficulties you are facing. If you have any ideas or opinions, please feel free to raise them." Hearing this, Zhao Yun responded without hesitation.

"Then I will be responsible for assisting you in building a unified command system for the National Defense Forces and distributing weapons and equipment. At the same time, a unified management and allocation system will also be implemented for supplies and money."

Zhao Yun continued to explain his plans.

"According to preliminary estimates, the daily expenses will need to reach at least millions. In order to ensure the long-term maintenance and development of this huge army, I plan to open my own department stores in major cities across the country."

Having said this, he paused slightly and then made a solemn statement.

"The ultimate goal is self-evident. Of course, it is to support these 800,000 strong troops through profits. Although the bigwigs above may provide some financial support, I estimate that the amount should be quite limited."

"Very good! If you can meet the needs of the army, then everyone will follow your command. However, if there are major mistakes in the decision-making process that lead to heavy casualties, then we will discuss together whether to still follow your arrangements."

This actually meant that the command of the Wehrmacht essentially belonged to him, but the prerequisite was to ensure that everyone had good food and drink and to provide the most sophisticated weapons to fight the Japanese.

Only after Zhao Yun got the answer he wanted did he continue speaking.

“Regarding the next steps mentioned before the meeting, my views are as follows.”

"The Eighth Army needs to participate in three months of basic training, while the special forces need to receive longer training until they can use these weapons proficiently. As for the other armies, since they have all received training, you will be given half a month to adapt, and then you can start to attack the northeast. Of course, if any unit has not received training, you can apply for training in the Rehe area, and I will provide you with training services free of charge."

"General Wu, tomorrow my Chahar Garrison and Rehe Garrison will be ready for a full-scale attack! The Chahar Garrison is the most suitable to launch the attack first as the vanguard, after all, they have been waiting there for a long time."

Zhao Yun's eyes were firm and his voice was loud.

"Okay, I understand. If no one has any other opinions, then let's implement this plan. Today's meeting ends here."

General Wu looked around and everyone nodded in agreement, and the meeting came to an end at that moment.

Zhao Yun continued.

"In that case, we will return to Zhangjiakou first. Once you have made your arrangements, send relevant personnel to Zhangjiakou to collect the necessary supplies."

Before he finished speaking, he stood up and left with Chief of Staff Wang beside him.

The two of them traveled non-stop and returned to Zhangjiakou overnight without having dinner with the others.

Because now is not the time to enjoy delicious food, time is tight and the task is arduous.

Commander Zhang soon learned the specific content of the National Defense Army meeting and felt relieved.

In this way, the area under his jurisdiction will become more stable.

Especially in the major cities of North China, there is no trace of the Xiaori people. The Xiaori people in Tianjin have already left, and the Xiaori expatriates in the concessions have also left one after another.

For a moment, the whole city seemed to have regained its former tranquility and harmony.

However, behind this seemingly calm situation, there is an unknown story hidden.

It turned out that during the evacuation of Xiaorizi, he ordered the First Division to take compulsory measures against the evacuation point Xiaorizi. Valuables were not allowed to be taken away, but personal belongings could be taken away. They had to agree under the threat of cannons.

Therefore, he collected a large amount of spoils, and after careful counting, he actually obtained a huge fortune of up to 20 million!

This is undoubtedly exciting news. It not only provides sufficient financial support for his army, but also lays a solid foundation for future development.

This made him very happy, but of course his reputation was also ruined and he became a person on the opponent's kill list, but he didn't care about this detail.
