Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

347 The All-Powerful Ruth

Those who can dominate a region in this chaotic world are not fools. The Tiger Guard knew that the islanders were about to take action, and someone else naturally sensed it as well. Even Zhang Xiaoshuai felt a sense of urgency.

Soon, a large number of Nationalist troops in North China received orders from Beiping to move towards the Rehe Customs area as quickly as possible.

This included a portion of the Central Army, the Jin-S Army, as well as the Eastern B Army and the 2.9th Army, all of whom were ordered to accept the transfer order and unconditionally go to the front line.

At this time in Zhuanghe County, Shangguan Yun had arranged everything, the General Staff issued orders, and all units carried out the plan, so he himself had some free time.

However, he was never one to sit idle, and he couldn't just stay put like that. So he first went to Chahar and delivered a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Northern Division.

Then, Li Wei was given enough tanks and personnel to form an armored regiment, and the highest command instructions were conveyed to them, instructing them to prepare for and cooperate with the military operations of the coming year.

The 2nd Armored Regiment was quickly formed, and the hundreds of miles of Hunshandake Desert south of Dulan Mountain became Li Wei's training ground.

Shangguan Yun went to Lushun again and exchanged a lot of warships for Wang Yan. Basically, all those medals were used up at once, which saved a lot of merit points.

This time, a total of 24 U2 submarines were exchanged, bringing the total to 36 when combined with the previous ones. This will allow Wang Yan to establish a hunting brigade, divided into six shark hunting squadrons, which will be very effective.

In addition, they exchanged for a considerable number of destroyers and transport ships, and conducted extensive training in amphibious operations to prepare for a major war.

Wang Yanle's nose was all puffy with excitement, and he eagerly organized his team to intensify training, preparing to brutally torment his wife.

After completing all this, the 30,000 merit points were almost all used up. Now, all that's left is to wait for the new troops to expand and generate more merit points before proceeding with the next step of the plan.

However, due to the increasing number of immigrants to Liaodong, the merit points generated under my jurisdiction have reached about one hundred per day, which can be used to exchange for basic supplies.

After finishing everything, Shangguan Yun rested for a while before heading to the Dragon King Temple to find the Azure Dragon Venerable, as he still had many questions to ask him.

Before leaving, Shangguan Yun called Yu Chaofeng over and gave him a hand-drawn map, which marked the distribution of mineral resources in various parts of Northeast China.

He was instructed to establish a separate exploration team within the intelligence department, specifically responsible for mineral exploration in these areas. The Tiger Guard Army has grown stronger, and these resources will be indispensable for the future development of heavy industry, which is naturally abundant in Northeast China.

Although the heavy industry in Wulongling is doing well now, it mostly uses imported steel and other resources from the United States. Local mining has stopped, mainly because Shangguan Yun was afraid that over-mining would affect the healing array of the Azure Dragon Venerable, so he stopped it a long time ago.

Unlike the bustling military training during the day, Wulongling is tranquil at night, making it even more enchanting.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the Tiger Guard Army had established an impenetrable defense system, with its rivers, roads, passes, outposts, air defenses, and troop reaction speed all being extremely formidable.

With the Azure Dragon Venerable stationed at the Dragon King Temple, there is probably no safer place on the land beyond the pass at this moment.

The area surrounding the Dragon King Temple had long been designated a restricted zone by the Tiger Guard Regiment, with members of the First Division and guerrillas stationed there. The area was heavily guarded, with numerous sentries both visible and hidden, making it impossible for outsiders to investigate its inner workings.

Shangguan Yun hadn't seen Captain Ruth for a long time. Since he had acquired a spiritual root and could cultivate freely, allowing him to fly on a sword or ride in an aircraft, Shangguan Yun rarely took helicopters anymore.

Captain Ruth was quite depressed and, out of boredom, went to the military academy. Liu Ransong there was very welcoming to her, and a large number of newly enlisted pilots were also very eager to see her.

Because Sister Ruth can not only fly helicopters, she can fly any kind of aircraft. Is she a system-generated talent? She's practically an all-around flight instructor.

Today, Shangguan Yun specially summoned Captain Ruth, got into a Black Hawk, and headed straight for the Dragon King Temple.

The system has recovered well in the past few days. Although the merit points are increasing slowly, because it is within the host's territory, it can absorb a large amount of energy scattered between heaven and earth for its own use, so it has recovered by 20% to 30%. Shangguan Yun is in a great mood.

Old Long had been quite bored lately. He sensed Shangguan Yun's return as soon as he arrived, and was naturally overjoyed to see him today, thinking that there must be delicious food to come.

Shangguan Yun, of course, knew this old man's tastes and had prepared plenty of good wine and meat. As soon as he entered, he called out, "Brother Qinglong, I'm back! Come out and let's have a couple of drinks..."

"Roar... Roar..."

After a loud dragon roar, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, and the Azure Dragon Venerable transformed into a middle-aged cultivator, slowly walking towards Shangguan Yun.

As he walked, he grumbled, "Hahaha... I say, you little rascal, you haven't been back for so long. I thought you'd been ganged up on by the Japanese cultivators. Tell me, did you get anything good... I heard the three islands of Yingzhou are incredibly rich..."

The Azure Dragon Venerable was clearly much more energetic, but Shangguan Yun knew that he had just woken up and that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was currently weak, so he probably hadn't recovered much. Last time, he said he had only recovered about 20 or 30 percent of his original strength.
