"800 clone soldiers plus the previous 500, a total of 1300.”
"This number of clone soldiers should be enough. This should be enough to build the basic officer structure of the 108th division!”
In the Li residence's warehouse, Li Yan looked at the clone soldiers in the system warehouse and thought.
A low-level clone soldier cost 2500 exchange points, which was equivalent to 250 dollars. This did not include weapons and equipment and daily consumption costs.
Clone soldiers were so expensive that Li Yan could not treat them as ordinary soldiers.
The clone soldiers were Li Yan's basic military officers, such as platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, and so on.
If most of the middle and low-level officers were clones, there would be two advantages.
Firstly, under the guidance of the clone soldiers, the combat strength and military accomplishments of the soldiers in each platoon would improve very quickly.
Secondly, with the loyal clone soldiers, Li Yan could control the entire army in peace. His orders were the will of the army.
Suddenly, the system reminded,"Respected host, are these clones still extracted using the previous method?"”
"Let's do it the same way as before. Let them automatically join us!”Li Yan said softly.
Now that the whole country was fighting against Japan, Lee Yan was a great hero who fought against Japan and was also the lieutenant general of the 108th division. It was not strange for someone to take the initiative to join him, nor would it arouse suspicion.
After arranging these matters, Li Yan yawned. He was also a little sleepy.
Then, Li Yan walked out of the storeroom, closed the door, and walked towards his own courtyard.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Xiao Yu heard footsteps. She walked out of the room with a happy expression on her face. She said sweetly,"Young Master, I've already prepared the bathwater. Please go in quickly!”
Hearing this, Li Yan walked into the small room in the wing room. This was his bathroom.
There were four carved barriers in the room, and in the middle of these four carved barriers was a large wooden bucket.
Nanzhang County was a small inland county, so bathtubs had not been passed down yet. Li Yan usually used a bathtub to bathe.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The sound of light footsteps could be heard as Xiao Yu walked in with a towel.
Reaching out to test the water temperature in the wooden bucket, Xiao Yu began to undress Li Yan.
Soon, Li Yan took a comfortable bath under Xiao Yu's service.
…………………
The next morning, the sun had just risen and the sun was shining brightly. Li Yan woke up early.
After putting on his military uniform and tidying up his appearance, Li Yan took a small car to Nanzhang County Government after breakfast.
The office of Nanzhang County Government looked very grand because this place was a county office left behind by the previous dynasty.
As soon as they arrived at this place, Li Zhiwen, the acting county head, came out with a group of people to welcome them.
Li Yan was not interested in internal affairs. Moreover, he did not want to waste exchange points to exchange for internal affairs clones.
Li Yan's current territory was only Nanzhang County, which was very small. After he took down the entire Xiangcheng area, Li Yan would consider gradually establishing a formal internal affairs and people's livelihood management department!
"General, this way please!" Li Zhiwen led the way and invited Li Yan to inspect Nanzhang County.
After looking around Nanzhang County Manor, Li Yan stopped and turned to Li Zhiwen.""The 108th Division has been expanded into the 108th Division. However, the 108th Division still has a huge gap in personnel. You have to post all the recruitment notices in the villages.”
" At least 20,000 recruits…" Li Zhiwen's eyes trembled and he smiled bitterly."General, Nanzhang County has a total population of 600,000 people. Excluding women, children, and the elderly, Nanzhang County probably has less than 100,000 young and strong people. Even if we post recruitment notices in every village, it will be difficult to recruit 20,000 new soldiers.”
People would die if they became soldiers in war. Not everyone was willing to become soldiers. Even if the country was in danger, there were still many young and strong people who were unwilling to become soldiers.
"The 108th Division destroyed the Kawasaki Brigade and the 217th Brigade. We are different from the national army. How do you know that they are not willing to join the army?”
Li Yan looked at Li Zhiwen and said in a deep voice,""Do as I say. Within a month, I want to see 20,000 new recruits, understand?”
"General, please rest assured that I will do my best to achieve this goal!”Li Zhiwen could only bite the bullet and guarantee.
"Not long after, the 108th division will attack Xiang City and take down the entire Xiang area. As the 108th division is expanding, there is still a huge gap in their weapons and equipment.”Li Yan said.
Hearing this, Li Zhiwen thought for a moment and said,""General, since the 108th division is short of military funds, why don't we increase a few taxes? This way, we should be able to gather a lot!”
Li Zhiwen's meaning was very simple. Nanzhang County had more than 600,000 people, and each person would receive a little anti-Japanese military expenditure. It would not be a problem to add up to 100,000 yuan!
" You still don't understand what I mean…" Li Yan shook his head."The commoners are already suffering enough. I won't increase taxes on them!”
" This..." Li Zhiwen was very surprised."Commander, do you mean to continue collecting military funds from the wealthy families in the Nanzhang area?”
"What's wrong? Is it difficult to do this?" Li Yan asked with a smile.
"The difficulty isn't that high, but it's easy for people to use it as a pretext!”Li Zhiwen smiled darkly.
One had to know that it was a chaotic world now, and there were wars everywhere. Whoever held the gun in his hand, his words would be effective.
Li Yan smiled confidently. He thought for a moment and said,""I need to raise 200,000 yuan for the 108th army to fight against Japan. You calculate and divide the financial resources of each landlord and then divide the 200,000 yuan according to their financial strength.”
" Two hundred thousand dollars…" Li Zhiwen gasped and exclaimed,""General, isn't this a little too much? More than ten days ago, you just collected 300,000 catties of grain and 100,000 yuan from them!”
"Is this a lot?" Li Yan snorted and said with a cold face,"During this period of time, the Li family sold more than 20,000 mu of fertile land. These fertile land were all taken away by these wealthy landowners. Other than themselves, who knows how much gold and silver they hid!”
"General, don't worry. I'll definitely raise 200,000 yuan in a week at most!”Li Zhiwen directly issued a military pledge.
In his opinion, the general had sold more than 20,000 mu of fertile land in order to fight the devils. This was at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan!
Compared to such a number, those rich and powerful landowners should also pay a little blood!
Li Yan was very satisfied with this guarantee. After chatting with Li Zhiwen for a while, he left the Nanzhang County government and headed straight for the 108th division's station.
The 108th division was expanding. Li Yan needed to arrange the positions of the clone soldiers so that he could completely control this army!
