The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Finally, Long Fei added that each of the seven fleets would also be equipped with two to three marine divisions, with 8,000 personnel per division.

After discussing the Navy's expansion plan, we will now move on to the Air Force's expansion plan.

Long Fei decided to expand the air force into ten air force divisions, each with 5,000 personnel and 150 aircraft, including 20 bombers, 80 fighters, 30 large transport aircraft, and the remainder reconnaissance aircraft, early warning aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft, etc.

In this way, the air force will have 50,000 personnel and a total of 1,500 aircraft.

In addition, Longfei also decided to establish a dedicated drone unit and army aviation unit.

The drone force is temporarily equipped with 10,000 drones of various types, while the army aviation force is set up with ten army aviation brigades, each of which has six army aviation regiments.

Each army aviation regiment is equipped with thirty transport helicopters and twenty attack helicopters.

This way, each army aviation brigade will have 300 helicopters, and the entire army aviation force will have 3,000 transport and attack helicopters.

Finally, in view of future combat needs, Long Fei decided to reorganize the remaining 2.5 million troops, excluding the naval, air force, army aviation and drone forces, into the First to Fifth Front Armies.

Each army group has 500,000 troops and six group armies. Each group army is equipped with one heavy combined arms brigade, one airborne brigade, and the rest are all mechanized troops.

The specific adjustments to the army groups are as follows: the former Northeastern Army Group was reorganized into the First Army Group, the former Northwestern Army Group into the Second Army Group, the former Southwestern Army Group into the Third Army Group, the former Central Army Group into the Fourth Army Group, and the former Southeastern Army Group into the Fifth Army Group.

As for the appointment of generals for each unit, the five army groups remain unchanged.

Xie Qiang and Zhou Weiguo continued to serve as the Navy's Commander and Deputy Commander, respectively, while Sun Haitao remained Chief of Staff. However, the three of them were no longer in command of any specific fleet, and new fleet commanders were appointed for all seven fleets.

The Air Force also remains unchanged, with Gao Mingjiu and Zhou Guangyi serving as Commander and Deputy Commander, respectively, and Ma Xu as Chief of Staff and Political Commissar.

After discussion and nomination, Long Fei was also appointed as the commander of the drone unit and the army aviation unit.

The 800 men from the former special operations battalion are now all at least deputy division commanders, with the rank of major general.

Gan Honglie and Xin Jiang are now army commanders and deputy army commanders, while Hua Wen and Hua Wu, who are both skilled in literature and military affairs, have become deputy division commanders.

Chen Huating has now been promoted to army group commander, while Wan Qingfang has been promoted to army commander, becoming the only female general in the Longyan People's Army. Chen Huating's good brother, Li Dayong, has also become a deputy army commander.

There are also heroes like those from Qingfeng Village. After joining Zhou Weiguo's army, their skills have greatly improved with the help of crash courses and real combat experience, and they have also accumulated experience.

So, Zhu Ziming, the head of the gang, has become the captain of a destroyer, and his subordinates have all become deputy captains.

Of course, Long Fei would not treat the monk who had always been by his side unfairly, and promoted him to major general.

To facilitate the proper and effective training of commanders, Long Fei also decided to immediately establish three training schools on the Korean Peninsula.

These are the Longyan Air Force Officer School, the Longyan Naval Officer School, and the Longyan Army Officer School. Long Fei appointed the principals of the three schools, while he served as the overall principal.

Finally, Long Fei ordered all units to assemble and immediately begin training, and officers at all levels to report to the three officer schools for intensive training.

Long Fei gave the entire army one month to train. After one month, the Longyan People's Army and Li Yunlong's 100,000 troops would head to their respective battlefields.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 troops in Yan'an, Long Fei not only upgraded their weapons and equipment, but also conducted advanced training for them.

A few days later, Long Fei received a secret telegram from Song Xiaoan and Gao Hong, sent from the United States.

They reported that after arriving in the United States, they not only secretly approached O'Haymer to persuade him, but also approached Estein to do ideological work.

However, these two were rather stubborn and headstrong, and they disagreed with giving up the research on the Big Sweet Potato Road.

After discussing it, Song Xiaoan and Gao Hong decided to use coercive measures to secretly take the two men away from the United States, so they called to ask for instructions.

Long Fei anticipated that the persuasion efforts might fail, so he instructed them before they set off that if all else failed, coercive measures could be used.

Therefore, Long Fei replied and approved their request. At the same time, Long Fei decided to send a submarine to pick them up.

After receiving the order, the submarine immediately headed towards the west coast of the United States, preparing to meet Song Xiaoan and his group off the coast of San Diego at the agreed location.

Before the submarine set off, Long Fei ordered the submarine captain to return to Japan immediately after picking up the person.

Long Fei believed that simply trying to persuade people through verbal communication would be ineffective, so it would be better to take Estein and O'Haymer directly to the area where the sweet potato exploded.

Let them wear protective suits and witness firsthand how terrifying the consequences of this thing are. Perhaps only in this way can we touch their souls, reach the depths of their hearts, and thus change their obsession.

Just after finishing dealing with Song Xiaoan's matter, the monk came in to report that Shen Tunan had arrived.

After inviting Shen Tunan in, Long Fei had a discussion with him for more than an hour.

Shen Tunan's view is that after so many years of war, Japan's national economy is on the verge of collapse, so the most urgent task now is to stabilize the economy.

Once the economy stabilizes, the next step is naturally to develop it, but this requires a lot of investment.

However, Japan is currently experiencing severe inflation, making it impossible to continue printing money.

But Long Fei did not want to invest the gold in his possession in saving the Japanese economy.

The two discussed it for a long time, and Long Fei finally concluded that the Japanese economy was on the verge of collapse, and that in addition to the reasons of the upper class, the general public also bore an unshirkable responsibility.

Back then, tens of millions of citizens tightened their belts and sold their possessions to support the government's war of aggression.

Therefore, they must swallow the bitter fruit that has now been borne.

So Longfei's idea was that since they were willing to sell everything they owned before, then let the 70 million Japanese people sell everything they owned again. If they were unwilling, then they could just wait to starve to death.

Shen Tunan harbored deep hatred for Japan, so he did not oppose Long Fei's decision.

Next, the two further determined the key tasks for the future, and how to control Japan's economy once it stabilizes, while at the same time vigorously developing Japan's economic development.

After all, 30% of the total fiscal revenue each year is no small amount. The right approach is to use the money of the Japanese people to boost the Japanese economy, support themselves, and pay war reparations.
