Chapter 13
However, Qian Mingxue, who didn't understand the ways of the world, had also changed after his previous experience. Therefore, Zhao Wenbin had asked Qian Ming to learn how to manage logistics.
Although Old Man Li was still in charge of the food, other things were handed over to Qian Mingxue to manage. Now, Old Man Li was more like Zhao Wenbin's assistant in government affairs.
"En! That's right. Unload these military uniforms. Also, did the guards notice anything about the weapons and equipment that I asked you to transport over?”
Zhao Wenbin nodded and asked Qian Mingxue.
"Young Master, don't worry! Those weapons and equipment are all stored in black boxes, and I don't allow them to open them, so they don't know what's inside. However, the weapons and equipment were still being transported.
Only one-third of the weapons and equipment had been shipped over. It would probably take some time for them to arrive!”
Qian Mingxue said. He was in charge of these things and was also the most important thing for him at the moment.
"En! I understand. You can go and rest for a while.”
Zhao Wenbin nodded and then fell into deep thought.
..............
Recruiting and training, this was what Zhao Wenbin had to do during this period of time.
At the end of October, heavy snow had fallen in the Hei Long River. This also made Zhao Wenbin heave a sigh of relief because the heavy snow had given him a lot of time. This meant that even if the Japanese knew of their existence, they would still not be able to use troops against them during this period of time.
Now, Zhao Wenbin had officially established 23 infantry companies.
The basic structure was as follows:
Infantry Squad: 12 people, one squad leader and one deputy squad leader, equipped with a Bren light machine gun and ten Leenfield rifles. In addition, two soldiers also carry two Type 89 grenade launchers.
Firepower squad: 3 Browning M2 heavy machine guns, 2 Bren light machine guns, a total of 18 people.
Logistics Squad: Transport ammunition on the battlefield. Including the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, there are 14 people. They are only equipped with Leenfield rifles.
Infantry platoon: 3 infantry squads 1 firepower squad, a total of 56 people.
Infantry Company: 3 infantry platoons 1 logistics squad, a total of 184 people.
It was temporarily unknown. Zhao Wenbin did not set up an infantry battalion or any other organization. For the time being, he was using a platoon level organization.
In addition, Zhao Wenbin had also established a guard company, a logistics department, and a communications company. Therefore, the total military strength in Zhao Wenbin's hands was about 4,800 people.
.........
There was an old saying that said that paper could not hide fire. Zhao Wenbin had caused such a huge commotion here. Thousands of people were training here every day, and the resounding gunshots were eventually heard by many people.
In addition, there were too many people. At the end of November, after Zhao Wenbin's troops trained for a month and a half, the Japanese received the news.
Fengtian, Kwantung Army Headquarters
"Nani? An unknown armed force appeared in Jidong County? Between 4,000 to 5,000 people? Training every day?"
General Muto Shingi, the fifth and tenth Commanders of the Kwantung Army, was drinking tea when he suddenly heard the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Zhao of the Little Ji Kingdom, report to him.
Muto Shingi was a legendary figure among the Japanese. He was a noble from Japan and served as the fifth commander of the Kwantung Army from 1926 to 1927.
After the September 18th Incident broke out, the ninth commander, Shigeru Honzhuang, was hesitant and too cautious. As a result, the Japanese base directly removed him from his position as commander and reappointed Muto Shingi as the tenth commander of the Kwantung Army.
Muto Shingi led the Kwantung Army to occupy the entire Northeast China after he took over the post. He even led his troops to defeat 20 Chinese infantry divisions at the Great Wall during the summer, forcing the Chinese government to acknowledge the division of the Northeast.
He was known as the patron saint of Manchuria because of this. Now, because of his contribution, the emperor of Japan had decided to confer him the rank of marshal. Of course, it would probably take 1933 for the official document to be issued.
Therefore, Muto Shingi had been in a good mood during this period of time. However, the news that he received now made him very unhappy.
"Commander, yes! This is a piece of information we obtained by chance. Currently, we have already sent out intelligence personnel to investigate Jidong County. I believe that we will receive a telegram soon!”
The chief of staff of Lieutenant General Zhao of the Small Ji Kingdom looked at Muto Shingi and said.
"Damn you. Where did this person come from? Could it be the remnants of Ma Zhanshan's troops? Impossible! His remaining troops either died in battle or surrendered. Furthermore, the 20th division was still stationed in Hei Long Jiang, it was impossible for Ma Zhanshan's remaining troops to escape. They were still reorganizing and training in Jidong County.”
Muto Shingi couldn't understand why there were thousands of unidentified armed forces there. Moreover, he was secretly training.

Jidong County, in Zhao Wenbin's temporary courtyard.
Now, there was an old man standing in Zhao Wenbin's temporary small courtyard. This old man was neither Old Man Li nor Qian Mingxue.
He was Old Man Zhou. Actually, his real name was Zhou Da. His personal experience and even family background were different from Old Man Li and Qian Mingxue.
Qian Mingxue was born in a scholarly family and had received a good education since he was young. That was why he was able to get into the imperial examination at the age of 30. As for Old Man Li, his family was considered a well-off family in the past. After all, he was the advisor of General Fengtian.
However, Zhou Da was born into a family of criminals. His father used to be an executioner in the government office. However, his father did not want him to inherit his job as an executioner, so he spent money to let him study.
It was just that there were some things that could not be separated from him. Zhou Da had been influenced by these things since he was young, so naturally, he also knew his father's trick.
Later on, the Manchu Dynasty was gone. His family was originally quite wealthy, but because his father had killed and tortured many people in his life, he had many enemies. The Manchu Dynasty was gone, and his family was targeted by those enemies.
In the end, he had no choice but to bring his family to a small town in Jixi County. He relied on the knowledge he had learned back then to make a living.
After Zhao Wenbin knew about his life experiences, he decided to hide him in the dark.、
Intelligence organization!
Zhao Wenbin, who came from the future, knew the use of intelligence too well. In this unfamiliar world, if you didn't have an intelligence organization, you would be blind. Therefore, Zhao Wenbin had hidden Zhou Da a long time ago and let him start building an intelligence organization.
Zhou Da, who was in his fifties, might not be young anymore, but people at this age were usually at the beginning of their careers. Therefore, in these few months, he had built a very good intelligence network for Zhao Wenbin. Although the current intelligence network was not big, at least within a radius of a hundred miles, nothing could escape Zhou Da's eyes.
