Chapter 245: Waste Utilization, Powerful Military Aid
Shangjing, Taiye Lake, Yinian Hall.
"Commissioner, I have accomplished my mission!"
He Yujie took a special plane directly from Chuncheng to Beijing. After getting off the plane, he went straight to Yiniantang to report.
Looking at the dusty He Yujie, Jiang Hua waved and motioned him to sit down.
Eva also brought a cup of hot tea at this time.
"Yu Jie, tell me in detail!"
After taking a sip of hot tea, He Yujie quickly began to explain.
Listening to his statement, Jiang Hua also had a clearer understanding of the Long family father and son.
"The chairman seems very certain that the Long family father and son will choose to go to Shan State."
Jiang Hua smiled and explained, "The Long family has been the local tyrant in the southwest for some years. Do you really think they will be willing to accept this?
But it was different when they went to Shan State, where they were the real emperors.
What do you think they will choose?"
There is a deeper meaning behind Jiang Hua's actions.
Compared with supporting local forces in Southeast Asia, it is more reliable to rely on our own people who share the same roots.
He wanted all the countries in Southeast Asia to become Chinese countries and become one of the satellite states of the ancient country.
And as long as there is an external threat, there is no need to worry about them disobeying.
For example, if the Long family goes to Shan State, the first enemy they will face is John.
As long as John is the enemy, there is no need to worry about them disobeying.
This is just what is on the surface, he also has a backup plan.
That is to infiltrate Red Alert soldiers into the troops controlled by the Long family.
Let these elite Red Alert soldiers serve as grassroots and middle-level officers.
In the war, some of these Red Alert soldiers will definitely stand out.
After all, their abilities are there.
As long as he can gain the trust of the Long family father and son, he can become a senior military official.
When the Red Alert officers make up the majority of their troops, then he will have the final say in this army, not the Long family father and son.
It would be good if they were obedient, so let them be the local emperors in Shan State.
If someone starts cursing as soon as he puts down the bowl, Jiang Hua will just replace him with his own people.
It is for this reason that Jiang Hua does not mind spending some resources to help the Long family father and son conquer the Shan Kingdom.
Besides, given the level of John's colonial army, the Southwestern Army's arrival would basically be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Southwestern Army must change its equipment, at least to be on the same level as John's, so that we can be more confident.
Chuncheng, Southwest Governor's Office!
Long Zhenjiang came to the study.
At this moment, Long Jianzhang was wearing the Southwest Army Marshal's uniform that he had not worn for a long time. He had changed from his previous old age, and his cloudy eyes were particularly sharp.
"Father, among our 300,000 brothers, 120,000 are willing to go with us to Shan State.
I have already started to reorganize them, and it is expected to be reorganized into eight infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades, two air defense brigades, and six artillery regiments. "
Ever since He Yujie left Chuncheng, Long Jianzhang asked Long Zhenjiang to start taking care of this matter.
When he heard that there were still 120,000 people willing to go with them, he felt relieved, which was more than he expected.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that the ancient country is about to be unified, and peaceful and beautiful days are about to come.
How many people would be willing to leave their homes and go abroad to help the Long family expand their territory at this time?
Fortunately, the Long family usually treats these low-level soldiers and officers pretty well.
This is also due to the peaceful environment and relatively stable economic development in the three southwestern provinces, so the military pay paid by the Long family to the soldiers is quite good, and it is all real pay.
That's why so many people are willing to follow the Long family.
As a family that has worked in the three southwestern provinces for many years, their dominance over the three southwestern provinces is evident.
"Okay, then we'll just have to wait and see the aid Chairman Jiang promised us. Once all the aid is in place, we'll attack Shan State directly!
Laying a lasting foundation for our Long family's Nanyang Dynasty."
The efficiency of the Renaissance Army is still very high.
On the third day, the Long family father and son received a telegram from Shangjing.
The transport plane fleet carrying military aid is already on the way to Spring City.
The Long family father and son had already cleared the military airport in Chuncheng.
Long Zhenjiang arrived at the airport early, waiting for the arrival of the Fuxing Army transport aircraft fleet.
Most of the weapons and equipment of the Southwestern Army were imported from Gaul.
This is also because there is a Kunming-Annan Railway connecting Kunming Province, so the trade between the two sides is very close.
However, with the outbreak of war the previous year, the then Southwestern Army expanded its military in order to guard against the aggressive Southern Association for Regional Cooperation.
Expanding the military requires not only maintaining people, but also purchasing equipment.
The three southwestern provinces are located deep inland, where the economic environment is stable but there is not much money, so the quality of equipment has begun to decline.
Now we can only basically ensure that every soldier has a rifle.
The Long family father and son had absolutely no confidence in facing John, one of the world's top powers, with such equipment.
There is another crucial point.
If the Long family led their army to attack the Shan Kingdom, the Gauls would definitely cut off their source of weapons and ammunition.
A gun without bullets is really no better than a fire poker.
It is precisely for this reason that the Long family father and son are particularly looking forward to military assistance from the Renaissance Army.
If the Renaissance Army can continuously provide them with advanced weapons, equipment and ammunition, then they will have the confidence to face the John Empire.
With the hope of becoming the local emperor of Shan State as support, he would not hesitate even if it meant offending the John Empire.
At most, he would fail and then return to his country to become a rich man, and his life would not be in danger.
If you succeed, it will be the foundation for eternity; if you fail, you can return to your country and become a rich man. This is what Long Zhenjiang thinks.
So now the Long family father and son are full of motivation.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the transport plane of the Restoration Army has arrived!"
After receiving the contact signal from the Renaissance Army transport aircraft formation, the tower said excitedly.
Long Zhenjiang walked out without saying a word.
He wanted to see the weapons and equipment provided by the Renaissance Army as soon as possible.
In less than five minutes, black spots in the sky came into Long Zhenjiang's sight.
"coming!"
Long Zhenjiang was shocked and stared at these black spots with his bright eyes.
As the black spot continued to grow larger in the pupil, the outlines of the C-130 tactical transport aircraft gradually became clear.
This was an aircraft that was about the same size as the DC-7 passenger plane he had seen before.
As the main tactical transport aircraft in active service of the Renaissance Army, the C-130 has blossomed in the Renaissance Army Air Force, with thousands of various models in service.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
When the wheels of the C-130 tactical transport aircraft touched the ground, under the strong braking, the fully loaded transport aircraft slowed down and finally stopped steadily on the apron.
"Deputy Commander Long, I'm the head of the supply department of the Fuxing Army Air Force Logistics Department. My name is Liao Yuan."
Long Zhenjiang glanced at Liao Yuan's military rank, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Colonel Liao, welcome to Chuncheng.
I have already prepared a banquet at the best restaurant in the city, so that Colonel Liao and the brothers of the Fuxing Army who accompanied him can fully experience the delicious food and wine of our Spring City."
Liao Yuan smiled and refused, "I'm afraid I'll be letting down Deputy Commander Long's kindness. Our mission is very heavy and we don't have time to stay. As soon as this batch of weapons is delivered, we will fly back to deliver the next batch.
This is the weapons list we have compiled, and the weapons on the list will be delivered gradually, without missing a single bullet."
When Long Zhenjiang heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. He suppressed his excitement and took the weapons list from Liao Yuan.
When he saw the weapons and equipment on it, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed, "So many?"
Liao Yuan nodded and said, "It's enough to arm an army of 500,000."
The weapons list included 400,000 rifles alone.
However, it was not any rifle that the Restoration Army had ever equipped.
Instead, they were weapons captured from the battlefield and arsenals.
John, Gaul, and Citigroup really invested a lot of money to support the Southern Alliance's division of the river and rule.
The three countries all provided large amounts of weapons and equipment to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
Among the spoils captured by the Restoration Army, there were more than one million rifles alone.
The Lee-Enfield, Springfield, and Lebel rifles were the main force of this military aid.
Although this will put greater logistical pressure on the Southwestern Army, it is also a common situation among local warlords.
In addition to rifles, there are also submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, infantry guns, howitzers, tanks, etc.
When he saw the number of howitzers and tanks, Long Zhenjiang almost jumped up with excitement.
The total number of 105mm and 155mm caliber howitzers is more than , with over one million shells.
And there are a large number of tanks.
The models of these tanks are quite diverse, with the main force being the Renault light tanks from Gaul, and some being T-40 amphibious tanks.
The Renaissance Army no longer cares about this thing, and it is useless to just throw it in the warehouse.
However, this thing can still play a role in the terrain of the South Seas.
So they simply provided part of their support to the Southwest Army, allowing them to become the little overlords of Southeast Asia and help the Renaissance Army attract the attention of the John people.
There are more than 300 tanks of various models.
There is absolutely no problem in arming an army of 500,000 with these weapons and equipment.
However, these weapons are not all available at once, and they are not all free.
The first batch of weapons was free and was just enough to arm about 15 people.
Payment will be required starting from the second batch of weapons.
Since they are all captured weapons, their prices are much cheaper than on the international arms market.
If they don't have money, that's easy.
The reconstruction government can provide them with low-interest loans.
If you can't pay it back, you can use your resources to pay off the debt.
Although the weapons and equipment later on had to be paid for, the equipment alone, which could arm 15 people, had already made Long Zhenjiang feel the sincerity of the Fuxing Army.
With this series of advanced weapons and equipment, he was confident in the next attack on the Shan Kingdom.
After receiving the news, Long Jianzhang also burst into laughter.
“Zhenjiang, it seems that our Long family’s luck has come.
But you must remember that even if you become the ruler of Shan State in the future, you must obey the orders of your country.
Although he made a promise to us, you have to know that this promise has a big premise.
That means being obedient.
If you don't obey, it will be the end of our Long family. You must remember this and don't be stupid!"
