Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Sichuan Province is located in a basin and is surrounded by mountains.

Li Bai has a poem called "The Road to Shu is Difficult", in which there is a line "The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky", which shows how bad the transportation was.

During the Battle of Shanghai, the Sichuan Army rushed to the front line, and it took them almost half of their time just to get out of the mountains.

That is a road that was carved out by one's own feet!

But things are different now. First, the National Guard government moved to the mountain city and overhauled the surrounding roads, building highways and railways.

Then came the appearance of Xu Le. In the past two years, he had been asking the Military Transportation Department of the Logistics Department to allocate a part of its personnel to carry out road construction around the Acropolis, so that they could communicate with each other and carry out large-scale transportation.

Especially after the expedition to western Yunnan in June, Weicheng could be said to be the place Xu Le trusted the most, and the speed of road construction there reached its peak.

Today, Weicheng not only has a first-class highway and railway directly connected to Chengdu and Shancheng, but the railway to Gansu Province and Kunming was also completed last month.

This was a joint effort between Xu's army and the National Defense Army under the leadership of Zhu Xiaoping, which mobilized thousands of engineers and more than 50 migrant workers from both sides.

In addition, the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which was forced to be abandoned at the beginning of the year, will resume work next month. By then, Kunming will be able to go south through Anning, Yipinglang, Lufeng, Guangtong, Chuxiong, Yao'an, Xiangyun, Midu, Nanjian, Yunxian, Gengma and other counties, and finally connect with the central railway in Lashio.

In the future, large quantities of supplies or heavy supplies, such as troops and tanks and armored vehicles, can be transported by the Yunnan-Burma Railway, which will save a lot of time.

"System, exchange all the iron for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5280 million military merit points!"

"System, collect all the gold and rubles into the system space!"

"Ding, collection successful!"

Personal panel:

Host: Xu Le

Military merit points: 10,000

Title: Millionaire [Host's business ability is enhanced by 50%, and subordinates are enhanced by 20%]

Mission: Great Wall Watch [Lead the army to conquer the world and establish your own country, the deadline is 10 years, the remaining deadline is 8 years and 8 months...]

Space: H-5 bombers [40], gold [304 tons], silver [313 tons], Japanese yen [30 billion], rubles [3008 million]...

Xu Le did not touch the several small iron mines around the Acropolis, and there was nothing else that could be touched.

In order to build railways and bridges, almost all the ore mined was sent to steel mills for smelting. This was not enough. Shanxi Province also began to produce steel and continuously transported it to Xikang, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places.

Fortunately, under the leadership of the armed forces technical personnel, a large-scale survey of the Lan County iron ore area was carried out, which improved the mining technology. Today, the monthly iron ore output in Shanxi Province has reached 2 tons.

In particular, the proven reserves in the Yuanjia Village mining area in Lan County have reached 5 million tons.

If you ask which is the all-round department of Xu's army, everyone will say the Armed Forces Department, which has thousands of technical talents and top students returning from overseas.

From farming and raising chickens and ducks to researching ship-to-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles, there is nothing he doesn't know.

In particular, Lu Yanhao recently formed a team whose mission was to develop air-to-ship missiles based on the Haiying 1 and Shangyou 1 ship-to-ship missiles.

For this, Xu Le expressed his great satisfaction, and with a stroke of his pen, he agreed that the Ministry of Finance would allocate 50 oceans as research funds!

This is an opportunity to strengthen the armed forces and develop its own technical core. Xu Le will not let it go!

After all, what you buy from the system is only the equipment itself, without technical data and production instructions!

Just when Xu Le thought he could return to Yangon to have a good rest, Bai Shiyi, Fang Yue and Guo Diet came to his door again.

"I say, you three are the only lieutenant generals in the Xu family army. Aren't you busy? Why did you come to me as soon as I got back? Can you let me have a good sleep?"

Xu Le said weakly with dark circles under his eyes.

I thought these guys were really cunning. They didn't say anything when I was in the Acropolis, but trouble came up as soon as I arrived.

This must have been planned by you guys, leaving me nowhere to hide.

This was really a well-planned plan. The senior executives knew Xu Le's temper very well. If they had told them in advance that he had something to do, they would have believed that their commander-in-chief would definitely delay his return.

Bai Shiyi and the other two glanced at Wei Junjun, who immediately raised his slender hands to massage Xu Le's shoulders.

Xu Le was speechless. He was completely under control.

But Wei Junjun's massage skills are getting better and better. Just one massage makes me feel much better.

"Okay, just tell me what you want to say, and then let me go to sleep!"

Seeing the opportunity, Bai Shiyi immediately stepped forward and said before Fang Yue and Guo Dietie, "Marshal, now our navy has Yangon Port in the front and Bhamo Port in the back. It's time to expand the fleet. Soldiers should train early to prepare for the next battle! If landing ships are not counted, the total displacement of our combat ships is less than tons, which is the size of a battleship!"

Xu Le immediately gave him a disdainful look. What does talent mean?

In terms of combat effectiveness, your 051-class destroyer is equivalent to a 4-ton battleship of the Japanese.

It is equipped with a total of 6 Sea Eagle 1 missiles. If they do not miss the target, one missile can make it lose its combat effectiveness, and two missiles can sink it.

Therefore, the total displacement of Xu's naval vessels should be added with a zero.

45 tons is already very powerful for a navy that is just starting out.

"Oh, I get it, but no matter how many warships I send over, you still need sailors, or you'll just be there for them to see!"

Bai Shiyi smiled mysteriously: "Marshal, to be honest, the battle we had with the Japanese warships has spread. It can be said to be a miracle. My old friends in the National Guard heard about it and contacted me secretly, saying that they wanted to bring people to join me! In addition to the new recruits from Fenglingdu Base, we are not short of sailors!"

Xu Le was also stunned. The 10,000 people that Bai Shiyi brought were half of the National Guard Navy, and the other half was in the mountain city.

If we can dig it out, we can indeed double the current number of ships.

"Well, is it bad for us to do this?"

Xu Le felt that this was an attempt to poach Commander Jiang's people. If they really poached him, he would be embarrassed to talk to Commander Jiang in the future.

However, Bai Shiyi kept a mysterious smile and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Marshal. Before I brought people to our army, Commander Jiang came to me. What he said was very simple. The current Tang Navy is just a decoration. If we can make use of its remaining heat, that would be the best!"

Xu Le was delighted: "You mean, Commander Jiang is also willing to give me the remaining navy?"

Bai Shiyi nodded heavily: "Yes, the reason why Commander Jiang didn't mention this before was because he didn't see your construction in the navy. Now that our battle record has come out, Commander Jiang will definitely be assured to give us the people.

But it's definitely not for free. We can take advantage of this opportunity when Minister Zhu is discussing aid with the National Guard to bring up the issue of the navy. We just have to pay a price!"
