The people outside were discussing animatedly. Unfortunately, such discussions rarely reached the baldy's ears. Otherwise, he would be even angrier!
Initially, he wanted to smear Xia Zilong's reputation, but he did not expect that his incompetence would make the other party stand out.
What the people wanted now was victory. They did not care if the other party was a bandit or a hooligan. As long as they could defeat the Japanese, it was worthy of their praise.
However, this was only for the ordinary people. For the elites, they felt a little angry.
Therefore, for a long time, Xia Zilong could not recruit any scholars from all over the world, so he could not do much work.
Only his army recruitment was relatively smooth. After this war, coupled with the fact that the people around him gradually knew about his advanced equipment, people who signed up to join the army came enthusiastically.
One of the reasons why Tie Guozhu came to Xia Zilong was because the army had recruited too many people.
" Commander, we have recruited more than 30,000 new recruits so far…"
"That's good, the more the better!"
"However, our guns can only equip 30,000 people. At least 20,000 people can't get their equipment now. Besides, we can't keep so many people in such a county, right?”
Xia Zilong said,"You're right. I was just about to look for you!"”
"What's the matter, marshal?"
"I thought that you guys should be more or less done resting these two days. Now that Cha Bei is empty, we can't let go of such a good opportunity!”
"Commander, do you mean to continue attacking?" Tie Guozhu seemed a little excited.”
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I raise so many of you?”Xia Zilong didn't give him any face at all.
Tie Guozhu did not mind. He did not think that was what the other party meant anyway.
"Marshal, how much territory should we occupy?”
Xia Zilong said," I've thought it through. Our army is still too small, so it's not possible to control Chahar quickly.
How about this, north of the Great Wall, Chahar Right Front Banner, Shangyi, Zhangbei, Jining, Shangdu, Kangbao, Xinming, and so on, take as much as you can for me!
When I have more money, I can expand your army. I can expand my territory while expanding my army. Otherwise, I won't be able to support you!”
" Alright, alright, alright!" Tie Guozhu quickly replied." Don't worry, Commander. I'll definitely get them all for you!"”
Xia Zilong was eager to expand his territory. Xinghe County alone was enough for him to equip a full armored division, an air force pilot division, and tens of thousands of infantry.
If they could occupy eight or ten counties, they would be able to equip a few armored divisions and thousands of aircraft. Only then would they have the strength to attack the outside world.
Originally, he wanted to send the army out as soon as possible, but the infantrymen needed to be adjusted. They had just turned from farmers to warriors, and there were still many places that they were not used to.
In addition to the impact of the fierce battle, they had to let them digest it properly. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to become elite soldiers, but they might even become cannon fodder.
The bald man's publicity not only caused a huge sensation in the country, but also had a significant impact on the international situation.
This was not a small matter. The Japanese had never suffered such a huge loss since the war started in the second half of last year.
With their relatively developed industrial strength, it was very easy for them to deal with China, which had almost no industry. Such an outcome was also within the expectations of the various countries.
But now, something had suddenly changed!
The arrogant Japanese had actually suffered a heavy blow in China. This was indeed a new thing for them.
They had originally planned to be neutral and even connive at the Japanese, but now they were actually starting to take it seriously.
However, after some investigation, the results shocked them.
"What is it? They were actually severely injured by a bandit leader?”
"Oh my, is today April Fool's Day?”
"How did the Japanese get defeated? Could it be that he was too short to fight with a bayonet?”
"Why do I feel that the Japanese are a little strong on the outside but weak on the inside?”
Especially when the Japanese's ally, Deguo, found out that they had suffered a huge defeat, the young man's face was extremely ugly!
F ** k, I originally wanted you to go north to restrain the Russians, but you can't even handle an agricultural country. How can you handle an early industrialised country?
Although they had signed an agreement last year and were almost considered allies, the bearded man was wavering again.
Only Old Mi was calmly watching the show on the other side of the ocean. Anyway, you guys fight, don't worry about me!
At the same time, they were also promoting their products. I have all kinds of supplies here. There are a lot of discounts. Don't miss it when you pass by.
The international and domestic scene became even livelier.
The next morning, Tie Guozhu led an armored division, 5000 infantrymen, two flying regiments, and 400 airplanes to attack the city.
In the following ten days, he had already occupied the entire central region of Chahar.
After the Japanese lost 30,000 elite soldiers stationed in Mongolia, although they had urgently mobilized some of their forces to replace them, there were still many places that they had not had the time to replace.
These places lacked the strength of the ghosts. Some counties only had a few hundred ghosts guarding them, so they were completely vulnerable.
Xia Zilong, who was guarding Xinghe's base camp, could see his funds rising crazily every day, making him so happy that he couldn't find the north.
With so many places added up, it was almost 80,000 square kilometers. Including the airspace, the funds obtained were more than one billion.
After he had money, he began to expand his strength.
Based on the 25 million for a full tank division and 38 million for a pilot division with more than 600 planes and ground services (planes were expensive), the total number of tanks and pilots was 240 million.
It wasn't that he didn't want to expand, but he really couldn't afford it.
Although a tank division only needed 25 million to equip, their daily training, maintenance, pay, ammunition, losses, and consumption in battle were huge.
Based on the preliminary estimates from these few battles, a tank division could be equipped with five or six tank divisions.
The Air Force was in a similar situation. Their fuel and ammunition consumption was huge, and it took them a plane to go back and forth.
Therefore, she had no choice but to keep a large amount of money as a backup to buy military supplies, as well as administrative and other expenses.
However, he was lucky this time. He got an armored lieutenant general, Long Zhenxiong, two major generals, Qi Weiyi, Feng Jing, and a few colonels and lieutenant colonels.
There was also an Air Force Major General, Li Yiming, and two Air Force colonels.
This made Xia Zilong happy for a long time. As the size of the army expanded, he had to manage more and more things.
After Tie Guozhu left, he had to take charge of both military and political affairs, which was very tiring for him.
Now that he had these generals, he could finally free himself from the military matters. He only needed to arrange the major plans.
