Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Southeast Asian Youth Army Training Camp

Since the return has been put on the agenda, Li Shaoyi has not been idle these days. He has inspected several military bases in Southeast Asia in succession. Today he will inspect the Youth Army Training Camp.

Currently, the training scale of the Youth Army has reached 8,000 people, and another 2,000 are being recruited. According to the original plan, this has obviously exceeded the target, but in this day and age, are you still afraid of having too many soldiers?

"Have you made everything clear to the soldiers? After the recruit training is completed, a group of them will follow us back to the mainland."

Looking at the soldiers training in the distance, Li Shaoyi thought of another thing, stationing in a different place, which is also what the army often does. If they were stationed in the original place, many problems would arise.

"Please rest assured, everything has been agreed upon. Furthermore, most of these individuals have only received a high school education. After returning to China, they will undergo special training at the Officer School and the Non-Commissioned Officer School. This should allow for a slightly faster training schedule than domestic officer training."

Guo Dongchuan looked at the overseas Chinese children in front of him, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. When he returned to the mainland to join the army, the proportion of overseas Chinese children in the army was not large. After all, many people did not know about the 72nd Army.

The situation is different now. Li Shaoyi led his troops south and established his own regime in the local area. This also won the hearts of many people. Thinking of those deceased people and indigenous people, the young men are more willing to preserve this regime. After all, this is a voice for us Chinese and overseas Chinese.

"You're right. Our country's education level is too low. If the military wants to develop in the long term, people with higher education must join the army. However, finding that many highly educated people in the country is harder than finding a gold mine. By the way, speaking of gold mines, have you had any news in the past few days?"

Li Shaoyi is surrounded by people from various departments, who raise any questions they think of, and these people are always prepared. Being a commander is so comfortable. Although the people below cannot be said to be versatile, they must also be able to handle many issues independently.

"Southeast Asia is rich in gold. We've already found two gold mines, but both use ancient mining methods, and the amount of gold mined each year is limited. Domestic prospectors have already arrived, but the information is kept completely confidential, so we can't draw any conclusions about the gold mines yet. However, both mines have yielded a significant amount of gold, and we currently have a considerable amount, nearly thirty tons."

When talking about this, Li Shaoyi smiled. No matter what era, gold is hard currency, and this gold should be considered as unexpected wealth.

"Is it possible that those tribes that are hiding deeper have gold?"

Li Shaoyi suddenly thought of this. The reason why we were able to discover gold was because we sent troops deep into the tribe. If we had stayed outside, the first batch of gold would not have been discovered at all. That was also the largest amount of gold we had discovered.

"It's really hard to say. Although Chinese people have lived in this land for many years, most of the time we interact with the indigenous people around the city. When it comes to these deep mountains and forests, few of us and Westerners go in."

Old Chen said somewhat embarrassedly that although they had lived together for many years, the miasma in the mountains was too serious. Except for the indigenous people, outsiders would soon get various diseases after entering.

Take the troops we attacked last time for example. Many of them have now withdrawn, and this is with the military doctors. After all, we don’t live in such an environment, and forced entry will definitely come at a price.

"Then let's keep them for now. There's no need to be too anxious. Just slowly find out the news. The entire island is under our control anyway. Without our order, not even a piece of gold can leave this island."

The meat is rotten in the pot, so there is no need to worry about it now.

"The commander is right."

President Chen also nodded beside him, but Li Shaoyi could see that President Chen must have something to say, so during the break, Li Shaoyi called President Chen to his side.

"Old Chen, we've known each other for a while now, and you know my way of doing things. I get uncomfortable when I see you hesitating. Just say whatever you want to say."

Li Shaoyi believes in efficiency above all else. If his subordinates are so hesitant, how can efficiency be improved? We ourselves should not waste time on these matters.

"So you've already seen it. Actually, I don't know how to start this conversation. All those people down there want an answer. That is, when you go back this time, will these two big guys in the navy stay here or return home?"

President Chen said somewhat embarrassedly that a 17,000-ton heavy cruiser, no matter where it is placed, is considered a powerful weapon of this era.

To be honest, Batavia needs this thing, but maybe the country needs it more. The reason why President Chen didn't say anything was because of this.

The situation in Batavia has improved a lot, which was something we could never have dreamed of before. If we still think about leaving these two warships here, it might be a bit too much. The situation in the country is not optimistic either.

"I thought it was a small matter. All the naval fleet we brought here will remain here, including these two heavy cruisers."

After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, Chairman Chen's face was full of disbelief. You know, the strength of the Fifth Fleet is not too strong. The fleet currently brought here has occupied more than 60% of the Fifth Fleet. If all of them are left here, what will happen to the country's coastal defense?

"I know you don't believe it in your heart. The Japanese navy cannot achieve great success without the interference of the air force. But it's different here. We only occupy one island, and there are no people of ours around, so we need to strengthen our strength."

Li Shaoyi had considered this matter a long time ago. Whether it was Daocheng or Pujiang, the addition of these two heavy cruisers would not have much effect. After all, the strength of the Japanese Navy was there, and you could not suppress it with these two heavy cruisers.

If we fight in the ocean, our two warships may not be able to be preserved. After all, in this era, wars still rely on aircraft carriers. Instead of letting these two warships go back and sit idle, it is better to make use of their remaining energy in Southeast Asia.
