The Sichuan Army was very poor. Not to mention the Japanese invaders, even Baldy Jiang's Central Army could not compare.
Take a regular division for example. It had a full 10,000 men, but only 130 light machine guns and 60 mortars.
In the Sichuan Army, such weapons and equipment were already top-notch.
However, compared to the Central Army, the former was like a beggar on the streets.
In addition, the weapons in the Sichuan army were dazzling. There were things like Hanyang, Zhongzheng rifles, 38th covers, Mauser 98K…In short, there were many types of weapons. It was not too much to say that they were made in all countries.
Once such weapons and equipment were used in a war, it was very likely that they would be in a mess due to ammunition and other reasons.
Hence, Liu Zheng was prepared to build a regular army equipped with all kinds of weapons.
Liu Xiang naturally fully supported Liu Zheng's idea. However, he was troubled."Even if you have money, you can't buy the corresponding weapons and equipment.”
From the third day onwards, Liu Zheng began to bring his seven wives back to visit his parents-in-law.
The first to bear the brunt was naturally Xue Yue's family, and then they went to visit and greet the concubines one by one according to their ranking.
A week passed just like that.
Returning to the door seemed easy, but Liu Zheng always stood up and entered the door. In the end, he was helped out by the guards.
The effect was quite good. Although Xue Yue and the other seven commanders did not express their stance, Liu Zheng was certain from their words,""Everyone is waiting to see if he can achieve anything.”
On this day, Liu Zheng brought five bio-humans to the Governor's Office.
The Governor's Office was Liu Xiang's office, and it was also an important place to deal with military affairs and important matters in Shu.
Liu Zheng turned the five bio-humans into three men and two women, and named them Tang Wu, Tang Feng, Guodong Li, Guoliang Li, and Guo Chen.
Among the five bio-humans, Tang Wu was a military expert, Tang Feng was an educational expert, Guodong Li was a senior smelter, Guoliang Li was a weapons expert, and Chen Guo was a surgeon.
Let's talk about the weapons expert.
With the help of the machine tool and gun design, the bio-human Li Guoliang could create bullets, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, sniper rifles, grenades, and dozens of other light weapons.
As an ace special forces soldier, Liu Zheng did not dare to say anything else, but he knew guns very well.
Liu Zheng could accurately draw the structural designs of the individual weapons that existed on Earth even with his eyes closed.
Therefore, the design was not difficult. The problem was how to make the machine tools.
With the help of Guodong Li, the senior smelter, Liu Zheng could replicate all the machine tools that he had.
After personally assessing Tang Wu and the other three, Liu Xiang couldn't help but look at Liu Zheng in a new light.
Except for Guodong Li, the senior refiner, Liu Xiang not only put Tang Wu and the other three in an important position, but also arranged them to be by Liu Zheng's side.
Liu Xiang's actions could be considered as helping Liu Zheng to train his trusted subordinates.
On this day, Liu Zheng brought an infantry regiment to the Meishan area to recruit soldiers.
Meishan was a prefecture-level city directly under the jurisdiction of Shudu. It was only 40 kilometers away from Chengdu. The security in the territory was good, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was very suitable for recruiting troops.
Before Liu Zheng arrived, the security team had already spread the news of the recruitment according to Liu Xiang's orders.
Liu Xiang used the words 'save the country and save the people' and 'defeat the invaders' to recruit troops. As a result, there was an endless stream of people responding from all directions.
It wasn't that the quality of the people was high, nor was it that everyone dreamed of eating military rations to fill their stomachs. It was just that the Great Southwest region was the only region left in China that was temporarily stable.
As long as they were not willing to become slaves of a subjugated country, as long as there was a little bit of Chinese national consciousness and awareness in their hearts, they would understand this principle-if the skin did not exist, how could the hair attach?
"General, please accept my youngest son. He's already sixteen…"
"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to accept them, but your three sons have all joined the army. What will happen to you two in the future?”
"Big brother, give me another chance, I beg you…"
"Go back and eat for another two years. This is a war, not a game!”
"No, I can't! I want to kill the Japanese. I want to take revenge for my father and my elder brother…"
The recruitment scene was very lively. There were tens of thousands of people who came to sign up for the army. Most of these people were young adults, followed by middle-aged people, and finally, the old, weak, women, and children who came with their children.
Sichuan army, no army without Sichuan!
Faced with a country in danger and an aggressive invader, everyone wanted to conquer the fallen mountains and rivers and defeat the invader.
Liu Xiang was definitely not a good person, because his identity and status as the commander of the Sichuan army had been achieved step by step by stepping on the corpses of countless people.
However, Liu Xiang's most outstanding contribution in his life was: "He doesn't want to become a slave of a subjugated country, and he doesn't want to be a traitor! As long as he could defeat the invaders, he was willing to give up everything he had!”
Not only was Liu Xiang like this, but so were many men from the Sichuan Army.
Even if they died in battle in a foreign land, most of the men in the Sichuan army had no regrets!
"Reporting, Major…"
"Speak."
"Young Marshal, there are too many people. We have already recruited 12,000 people, but the commoners are still unwilling to leave.”
"12,000? It had only been half a day, right?”
The enthusiasm of the Sichuan people surprised Liu Zheng. After all, the establishment of a division could not be filled just because it was full.
"Gou 'zi, inform them to continue recruiting 8,000 male soldiers and 1600 female soldiers…"
"Major, why are we recruiting female soldiers? Not to mention that they have a lot of things to do, there will be a lot of trouble in the training process in the future…Oh, just treat it as me farting. I'll immediately give the instructions…"
Although Liu Xiang did not set a limit on the number of people, he would do as much as he could.
Liu Zheng was currently busy. On one hand, he needed to train the new recruits, and on the other hand, he needed to get in touch with some of the administrative matters of Shu Du.
Therefore, Liu Zheng decided to train this unit into seed soldiers, and then use the 'soldiers lead the troops' method. In the end, all the Sichuan troops in Shu Capital would transform into modern, regular troops.
