With a few old generals coming to vote, plus the thousands of people they each brought, Zhang Sen suddenly felt a lot more confident.
Liao Province and Heat Province were both under his control, but it was extremely difficult for an army to defend such a large area.
The best way to stabilize the territory was to expand the size of the army.
Coincidentally, the few old generals who came to surrender and the 40,000 troops gave Zhang Sen the capital to expand his army.
Zhang Sen immediately sent Chu Yunfei and Long Wenzhang to Shen City to participate in the expansion of the army.
"General, you are now the highest military and administrative officer of the two provinces. The scale of the expansion of the army must not be small.”
"I think we should keep the First Army," Chu Yunfei suggested. In addition, he would use the 40,000 new soldiers to form the 2nd Army. Then, the Third Corps would be emptied.”
"In the province of Heat, there are veterans who have escaped from the pass and come to surrender every day. At times, there are thousands of them.”
"In the past two days, many of our veterans have returned from Ji Province and the grasslands. There are more and more of them, and the empty positions in the Third Corps will be filled by them.”
"This way, we have three regular divisions. We can attack if we advance, and we can defend if we retreat."
Zhang Sen nodded in satisfaction." This plan is not bad. The establishment of three armies is at least 120,000 people. It's enough for us to defend the Heat and Liao Provinces, and we can also freely invade the Ji Province.”
"If there are three armies, shouldn't we give them a more resounding name?" asked Long Wenzhang.”
"Yes, the name must be loud." Chu Yunfei nodded. Moreover, we can't address you as a general. According to tradition, we should address you as a military governor or a viceroy.”
"That's right, young general. It sounds like you're living under someone else's roof.”"The Viceroy is still worthy of you," Long Wenzhang said with a smile.”
Zhang Sen waved his hand." My father used to call me Marshal. I won't fight with him." In the future, I'll change my name to Commander-in-Chief. In addition, our army does need to be renamed. Let's call it the Northeast Protectorate Army.”
"Ah, this is good!" Long Wenzhang smiled." Protect the country. Now that we're legitimate, let's see who still dares to criticize us."”
Chu Yunfei smiled,"That's not the case. We have the military establishment, but our weapons."
"You don't have to worry about that!" Zhang Sen smiled confidently." I'll arrange the rest. I'll give you five days to form the National Guard Army as soon as possible!"”
Long Wenzhang and Chu Yunfei didn't ask much about the weapons. They were materialized by the system, so they probably knew how some things came about.
The two of them saluted and immediately left to start the formation of the army.
Zhang Sen immediately checked his points. He was shocked when he saw that his points had already reached 1.1 million.
"System, quickly come out and explain to me. Where did you get so many points?”
The System replied," Don't be nervous. You deserve these points. First of all, this time you killed 17 Japanese officers above the rank of major general. The lowest reward is 10,000. Fujita Jin was the only one who was killed, and you were rewarded with 50,000 yuan.”
"In addition, you have completed a main mission that I haven't issued yet. You will be automatically rewarded with 300,000 points.”
"The rest of the points are obtained from killing enemies. Among them, the points obtained by officers and soldiers were different. After stacking them up, there were only so many points.”
Zhang Sen heaved a sigh of relief and immediately used 500,000 points to exchange for weapons and equipment for two and a half armies.
The exchange of weapons this time was completely based on the standard ratio.
For example, a squad was equipped with eight Thompson submachine guns, one MG34 general machine gun, two Mauser 98K rifles, and four grenade launchers.
Each platoon was given an additional two general-purpose machine guns and two mortars.
Each company was given two additional general-purpose machine guns and four additional mortars.
And so on, all the way to the group level.
Each regiment had a separate artillery company equipped with eight 75mm FK7M85 field cannons.
An artillery regiment was added to the brigade level, equipped with ten 75mm field cannons and sixteen 100mm field cannons.
The division level had a separate heavy artillery regiment equipped with 20 100mm field artillery.
Originally, Zhang Sen wanted to equip the two military capitals with motorcycles, but this would cost him 500,000 points.
Zhang Sen's heart was bleeding. In the end, he only spent 150,000 yuan to buy a lot of trucks.
A portion was used by the troops, while another portion was provided to the transport troops.
"Spending points to buy weapons isn't a good idea. They're going to be used up so soon. System, can I develop my own weapons?”
"Of course. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange for the production process of the entire weapon, including the craftsmanship and equipment.”
"However, you have to find the corresponding factory first.”
Zhang Sen smiled." Leave this matter to me. Liao Province is in my hands now. Is this still a problem?"”
Just as Zhang Sen was busy building his army, the news of Liao being recaptured by Zhang Sen and Fujita's 100,000-strong main force being wiped out quickly spread from Liao to all parts of the country.
Ben Zhuangfan was so angry that he had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. When Zhong Zheng heard the news, he almost choked on his food.
Zhang Hanqing, who was in the concession in Jincheng, did not speak for a long time.
Ten minutes later, he stood up and lowered his head in shame.""Father, Zhang Sen is probably your real son!”
