Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"ah?!!!"

Chu Feng's words made Li Mingqiang stunned: "Commander, didn't you ask me to cooperate with Uncle Wu in purchasing various supplies and equipment at home, and to work together on both domestic and foreign fronts?"

Looking at Li Mingqiang who was a little unresponsive, Chu Feng sighed and said, "Alas, Old Li!"

"I did tell you to cooperate with your uncle both at home and abroad, and I also encouraged you to spend money."

Seeing Li Mingqiang looking a little confused, Chu Feng explained to him, "But I'm encouraging you to spend money, not asking you to work hard for arms. Compared with other ordinary machinery and equipment, consumer goods, agricultural and sideline products, and industrial products, arms are too sensitive."

"It's not necessary to mention it in peacetime, let alone now that we are at war with the Japanese, it's even easier to attract attention."

"Weapons and equipment for 30 divisions. Let's assume each division costs $5 million. How much does that cost for 30 divisions? $150 million!"

"Who in the entire Chinese nation can come up with such a large sum of money? Who would purchase so much weaponry at once? Only the tutors and us!"

"As for other local forces, putting aside the issue of money, who would they give these weapons and equipment to? Do they have that many troops?"

"What will others think of us? They will question why we can't just buy weapons and equipment ourselves openly instead of going through other channels?"

"It's true that after the channels are dispersed, confidentiality can be maintained, but the price won't be as cheap as a large-scale purchase. Are we going through so much trouble just to keep it secret? What's there to keep secret about such a large-scale arms purchase?"

"Our deceptive approach will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention and speculation. We need to make a fortune quietly rather than actively attract attention."

"Once our whereabouts are exposed, the other supplies we purchased will also be discovered."

"We spent $1.5 million on arms. These foreigners and outsiders believed we could come up with the money, but we secretly spent more than $1.5 million, $5 million, and even $10 billion."

"How can we explain then? Why are there so many dollars?"

"To put it more seriously, if we attract these people's interest, Uncle Zhao Wu will also be exposed, and then all our plans will be exposed to the public."

"They might not be able to guess what we are doing right now, but it's not a problem for them to check our cash flow. We are very secretive, but if they are determined to investigate, it's normal for them to be exposed."

"They don't need much, just a fraction of the funds we operate, to see that we are injecting hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions of yen and dollars into the world trading system."

"What do you think will be the consequences then?"

"Let's not talk about the Japanese, what will the United States do? We've invested over a billion dollars in the market, and ultimately, the entire American people will foot the bill."

Listening to what Chu Feng said to him, Li Mingqiang's expression was a little stiff. He didn't think too much about it. He just thought that since he printed it himself, it didn't matter if he spent a little more.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

Now after hearing what Chu Feng said, he also knew that his thinking was a bit simple, and he couldn't help but look at Chu Feng and ask: "I have spread the news here, but there has been no formal contact or recognition."

Hearing Li Mingqiang's question, Chu Feng said without hesitation: "Stop immediately and change a group of people." Chu Feng was thinking of harvesting assets around the world, but the harvesting was not done with counterfeit money.

Unless it is absolutely necessary and without sufficient trump cards, Chu Feng does not want to fall out with the United States and other countries.

In fact, every country has mastered the method of printing other countries' currencies, and many people have done this kind of thing, but this can be done secretly, not in a high-profile manner.

This is an unspoken rule. Even if Li Mingqiang does it openly, it is a provocation.

Looking at Li Mingqiang, Chu Feng arranged: "Next, you go back and replace the group of people you just trained. Remember, replace them all, leaving no one behind, whether they are foreigners or Chinese, kill them all."

When he said this, Chu Feng's expression did not change at all, as if what he said was just an ordinary sentence that did not involve dozens of lives.

"Ok!"

Li Mingqiang agreed without hesitation. Compared with the plan they had made, these sacrifices were nothing.

Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "Don't rush it now. We are indeed very short on time. We only have one year, but no matter how urgent it is, we can't rush it now."

"As long as we can spend the money without anyone noticing and buy what we need within a year, it will be a victory for us."

"Old Li, you must remember, there are too many good things, we can't buy them all. You must remain absolutely rational. If you can afford them, buy them. If you can't, don't force yourself and don't take risks."

"We only sell what is urgently needed and important. To conceal our activities, we also purchase large quantities of easy-to-transport, inexpensive, and common items that would not attract attention, such as grain, cotton, and cloth."

"We must learn the nine words of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty: build high walls, store up abundant food, and slowly claim the throne!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingqiang nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Commander, I'll take care of it right away!" After that, Li Mingqiang hurriedly turned around and left to deal with these matters.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Li Mingqiang who was walking in a hurry, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Talent, talent, talent is rare!"

"As the Independent 1st Division grows larger and larger, and as the number of chassis increases, my management team also needs to expand!"

"Secondly, it's time to equip Lao Li and Lao Zhao with a think tank."

Then, Chu Feng sent another telegram to Uncle Zhao Wu, informing him of what happened with Li Mingqiang and asking Uncle Zhao Wu to pay attention to it as well.

Economic warfare, material purchases, and espionage warfare are unlikely to produce results in a short period of time.

In addition to obtaining some information from Uncle Zhao Wu and Li Mingqiang every day to help them fill in the gaps, Chu Feng began to focus his attention on the water conservancy department and the agriculture and animal husbandry department.

The high-yield seeds rewarded by the system have been planted, and a group of agricultural experts have been recruited from the country to be responsible for these.

Because of the underground river, the water flow of streams and rivers in northern Shanxi, a mountainous area where water resources are relatively scarce, suddenly increased.

A large amount of river water gushed out from the ground, forming new springs, resulting in much more river water in this area of ​​northern Shanxi than in previous years.

Whether it is agriculture, animal husbandry or industry, they are all big water users.

Therefore, during this period, the water conservancy departments have been planning and building some water conservancy facilities to utilize these water resources.

With Chu Feng's attention, relevant funds and personnel began to be allocated to these areas.

If you take an aerial photo, you will find that the land managed by Chu Feng is full of construction sites and busy people.

Some people built factories and houses in the mountains and forests, some dug canals, built dams, and constructed reservoirs, some weeded in the fields, tended crops, and fed livestock on farms, and some built roads, bridges, and railways.

There are also people transporting various supplies, coming and going, making it very lively.

That day, Chu Feng came out of a meeting at the water conservancy department to discuss the construction of a reservoir.

After two days of meetings, 10 small reservoirs and 2 medium-sized reservoirs were finalized. For this purpose, Chu Feng approved another 1500 million Saibei currency as start-up capital.

There are twelve reservoirs, ten small ones costing 180 million yuan and the medium-sized ones costing 350 million yuan.

"Huh? Why are you two here?"

As soon as Chu Feng entered the headquarters of the 1st Independent Division, he saw the figures of Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong. He showed a hint of surprise and asked with a smile: "Why, the troops are not busy with training?"

A month and a half has passed since the last temporary super training buff was activated.

Chu Feng didn't pay attention to this side. Having experienced it once, Chu Feng knew how powerful this buff was, so he was very calm this time and just waited for the final result.

"hey-hey!"

Hearing Chu Feng's question, Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu chuckled and poured Chu Feng a glass of water.

Wang Tiezhu said, "Commander, the training is not too busy anymore. The new and old soldiers are performing very well."

"It's not that we haven't fought the Japanese for a while, more than two months."

"Should we move?"

Hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Ge Dayong quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, Commander, should we move too?"

Seeing the two of them looking expectant, Chu Feng sneered and said, "You guys want to make a move, but now, if we do, there will be no small fights."

"Tell us, should we go east or north?"

"This move will result in a large-scale melee involving hundreds of thousands of people. You two should let the local comrades rest for a while."

Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong were silent for a moment. They understood very well that if they took action with this scale, they would aim to recapture several county towns and capture tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops.

"well!"

However, the two of them came today and it is impossible for them to leave so easily.

After exchanging a glance, Wang Tiezhu looked at Chu Feng tentatively and said, "Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army can fight behind enemy lines. Shouldn't we give it a try as well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu became excited and began to tell Chu Feng about the benefits of this: "Why don't we let these troops rotate to fight behind enemy lines?"

"First, we need to explore the way for us to go north and east. Second, we can't let the Japanese and puppet troops have it easy. We have to scare them and make these bastards afraid of us!"

"Third, our troops have expanded so much this time, both in the main force and the local forces, there are many new recruits. Training alone won't produce elite soldiers. Only actual combat can sharpen and temper elite soldiers."

"So Dayong and I thought about it. Let's learn from the Eighth Route Army and go behind the Japanese enemy lines. Without any large-scale fighting, we can also meet the three conditions mentioned above. It's like killing three birds with one stone!" After expressing their thoughts, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong looked at Chu Feng with anticipation.
