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

367 The waves beneath the surface

Zheng Xin didn't want to reveal her sect or lineage, and Shangguan Yun didn't force her. However, seeing that she was wholeheartedly thinking of herself and the Tiger Guard Army, and was willing to expose her true gender and ruin her image, he chose to believe her.

After much scheming and intrigue, Zheng Xin finally got her wish and obtained the silver armor she had always dreamed of. To put her mind at ease, Shangguan Yun specially exchanged a high-grade gold-type flying sword, the Golden Spirit Sword, for her.

Zheng Xin was so moved that she cried, almost throwing herself into Shangguan Yun's arms, but she held back in the end. However, she felt a strange, sweet feeling for Shangguan Yun.

However, Shangguan Yun wasn't going to give her any benefits for nothing; he naturally also asked her to help train the Silver Armor Guards.

When it's convenient, we'll naturally bring back the Silver Armor Guards from Ryukyu to protect the safety of the Tiger Guard's high command.

Zheng Xin's task is to train them. Right now, these cultivators are just temporarily playing a supporting role. There will be more important things for them to do in the future.

Zheng Xin remained noncommittal, but seeing the benefits, she readily agreed.

Regarding the pills, Shangguan Yun not only gave her three types of pills for the Qi Refining stage, but also gave her the Foundation Establishment stage pills, Vitality Pill, and Primordial Spirit Pill. Zheng Xin was so shocked that her mind went blank and she was speechless.

Looking at the naive and innocent girl who admired him so much, Shangguan Yun felt a surge of pride and wanted to take advantage of her further. However, after thinking about it, he restrained himself so as not to ruin his glorious and great image.

After showing off for a while, Shangguan Yun felt a great sense of accomplishment.

I spent a little money to deal with these guys, and now I have a surprise force. The merit points I spent were negligible compared to the benefits.

Now that the system has been integrated and upgraded, it can basically replicate many cultivation-related items as long as there is a sample. However, the price is not cheap; it is much more expensive than firearms.

The equipment for the eleven people cost about two thousand merit points. For the sake of the overall situation, he didn't care about the cost, Shangguan Yun thought through gritted teeth.

After dealing with matters here, Shangguan Yun turned and returned to the command post. The situation had been tense recently, and many things needed to be planned in advance.

The command post remained busy. Qi Chunlin and Dekes were so busy that they would read telegrams even when they went to the toilet, and listen to reports while eating. Intelligence from the Tiger Guard Army front, as well as from the Northern Division and various parts of Northeast China, was pouring in every day. The entire staff was operating at full capacity.

With the great battle approaching, although Shangguan Yun's participation plan is three months from now, the battle at Shanhaiguan is just over a month away. If we don't make some preparations in advance, it might be too late to make them later.

Under the leadership of Sister Zhu, Zhang Hongwu, Huang Jinlin, Da Wan, and others, the temporary management committee operated smoothly, and the conscription activities never stopped.

Every day, a large number of new recruits enter the recruit camp, and a large number of new recruits who have completed their training leave the recruit camp to be reorganized by the commanders of several new main force divisions.

Every day, a large amount of supplies are transferred from Lushunkou and Zhuanghe to various places for processing. These supplies are all brought by our friends in America.

Mr. James cooperated very well with the Tiger Guard. The Tiger Guard bought much-needed supplies for a small amount of money. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Cliff Trading Group also obtained a large amount of gold through cooperation with the Tiger Guard, thus gradually shaking off the shadow of the economic crisis.

However, compared to the major crisis in the United States and Europe, the Tiger Guard's contribution is merely a drop in the ocean and cannot change the overall situation in the short term.

In order to provide the Tiger Guard with some special supplies, Mr. James took advantage of the convenience of trade with the Tiger Guard and established his own private trading company, which was still affiliated with the parent company and was doing very well.

Shangguan Yun couldn't stay idle either, so he inspected the area. He no longer needed to move weapons and ammunition around. Nowadays, the Tiger Guard Army's logistics department was equipped with enough trucks, and the Tiger Guard Army attached great importance to road construction.

The management committee also organized a large number of displaced people and gave them corresponding compensation to build roads. Basically, all the towns under the Tiger Guard Army's control were connected by smooth asphalt roads, which paved the way for the transportation of strategic materials during wartime.

The Air Force has already established a base in Dalian, and the second air force base is complete. Yu Hongshun is now permanently stationed at the Dalian base.

Currently, each of the two air force bases has more than 100 fighter jets and bombers combined.

The pilots spared no effort in training to take off every day, but none of them flew beyond the Liaodong Peninsula to avoid putting the Japanese army on too high a nerve and prompting them to take countermeasures.

Shangguan Yun attached great importance to the development of the air force because, no matter how the war develops in the future, the air force will be the decisive factor in the outcome of the battle.

In every war that breaks out, once either side gains air superiority, the balance of victory will tip completely in their favor.

Therefore, Shangguan Yun attached great importance to the deployment of the air force. At Longnanshan Military Academy, the training and development of the air force accounted for a large proportion.

This includes fighter jet, bomber, and reconnaissance aircraft pilots, as well as airborne and carrier-based aircraft pilots. These all belong to the air force's combat sequence, and the number of personnel is very large.

Wang Yan's carrier-based aircraft training is in full swing every day. Although there is no aircraft carrier yet, there should be one soon.
