More than 80% of these thousand miners are veterans who have fought with the Japanese. They are mainly soldiers, with officers accounting for about one-tenth. However, they are all company and platoon leaders. These people do not belong to so many camps.

point.

The old troops were either wiped out or they were withdrawn somewhere. These people had suffered enough from the Japs in the coal mines and their hatred for the Japs was unforgettable. They were rescued by the Eighth Route Army and followed the trend to join the Eighth Route Army.

, at least the Eighth Route Army was actually fighting the Japanese.

There was only one exception, and he was actually a regimental commander. Judging from the military uniform, it should belong to the Central Army. This surprised Chu Xiong.

Regarding people from the government army, what he likes most are soldiers, followed by companies, platoon leaders, and battalions. He doesn't want those above the regiment commander at all. Those who have been serving as officials for a long time have many problems and are difficult to arrange.

So he decided to have a talk with him. After all, if he took the initiative to come over as the leader of the group, he still had to give him affirmation.

"Report to the captain, Captain Luo is here!"

"Commander Luo, please take a seat!"

Chu Xiong greeted Luo Weimin very politely.

"Report to the captain, Eighth Route Army soldier Luo Weimin wants you to report."

Luo Weimin naturally gave Chu Xiong a military salute, and then stood there quietly waiting for Chu Xiong's questions.

Chu Xiong only saw calmness in his eyes, without any deliberate intention, which made Chu Xiong become interested in him.

"Really think about it? You have to think about it carefully. The arrangements for you here will not be high, and our Eighth Route Army does not have military ranks."

"Reporting to the commander, Commander Li gave us a choice when we were in the coal mine. Since I have chosen to join the Eighth Route Army and you have approved it, there will only be Luo Weimin, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army here, and there will be no commander of the Central Army Corps."

Chu Xiong nodded and then asked:

"I just want to know why?"

"My regiment was depleted. After I returned, I was the leader. Although we are the Central Army, there are many factions within us. I have no money and no backing. My regiment will not be replenished for years and years.

I want to fight the Japanese and avenge the 800 brothers who died in the battle. I know that the Eighth Route Army fights the Japanese and I also know the reputation of the leader. When Commander Li introduced your name to the leader, I decided to fight with you.

As long as you are allowed to fight Japanese soldiers, you can be a soldier!"

After hearing Luo Weimin's words, Chu Xiong couldn't help but feel proud. Could this be the protagonist's domineering spirit?

"I believe you!"

Chu Xiong scorned in his heart, but he still showed a helpful look on his face. Sure enough, he caught a hint of cunning in Luo Weimin's eyes.

Chu Xiong pretended that he didn't see it. If it was just flattering, there is nothing wrong with it. Those who can become the leader are all ghosts. Let's wait and see the consequences.

"You will be uniformly arranged for training for a period of time. After you pass the assessment, you will be assigned to a new unit and position based on your performance and achievements. I hope you will not be promoted to a high position. The highest position will be platoon leader, responsible for 80 people."

Chu Xiong directly told him all the arrangements for them, and he wanted to see his reaction.

"Report to the leader, I will definitely strive to become the platoon leader!"

Luo Weimin said confidently that Chu Xiong didn't find anything unusual this time and it looked more pleasing to the eye.

"This is only logical. How can a person who is used to being an officer be willing to be a soldier? I guess he has already figured out that the Eighth Route Army will not let him be the leader of a regiment."

Chu Xiong secretly thought that he was not afraid of Luo Weimin's ambitions. He would only follow the rules and focus on fighting the Japanese. Isn't it normal for him to be promoted if he has the ability?

"Okay, Comrade Luo Weimin, I'm waiting for this day, you go down!"

"Yes, leader!"

Luo Weimin left after saluting.

One day later, Luo Weimin and others were sent directly to the old camp. The garrison company was responsible for training and educating them for a month. Ideological transformation will be the focus. Those who are not ideologically qualified would rather not be used.

After solving the problem of the miners, Chu Xiong was in a good mood. This was a thousand additional troops. The population of the base area was limited. Too many conscripts would easily affect production and life. If you could kidnap people from outside, just kidnap them as much as possible. Food was not a problem at all. The lack of food,

If you are short of ammunition, just contact the sponsor.

On this day, Chu Xiong came to Aaliya all the time...

"Chu, long time no see. Do you have any breaking news for me?"

Aaliyah joked with Chu Xiong happily.

"You are overthinking. Where did all the explosive news come from? You are now an internationally renowned reporter. What you have to do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible instead of being in the limelight."

Chu Xiong reminded him kindly, but Aaliyah didn't buy it and shook her head like a rattle:

"No, no, no, this is the Chinese way of doing things, not ours."

"Aaliyah, let's get down to business. Please help Mr. Thomas to get two 6.5mm bullet production lines. The money will be deducted from our account. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive. You can get some ready-made bullets for me."

"Chu, this may not be easy to do. Why do you have to use the Japs? We can do it from the Goshawk Kingdom. It will be easier to sell you the weapons and ammunition."

"Aaliyah, we only have that little money. If we buy all of you, we can equip only one division at most, and I will be so poor as my underwear."

"Chu! Why did you say such rude things in front of a beautiful lady! I will contact Thomas about the bullet line. Be mentally prepared. It won't be cheap. We have to get it from the devil's capital boss through private channels.

Got it."

Chu Xiong nodded to express his understanding and told Aaliyah and the others to just find a way to send it in once they got it.

"Alia, are you interested in accompanying me to Lijiacun again?"

After settling the business, Chu Xiong thought of traveling around the base. The reason why he brought Aaliya with him was to let the wise old man across the ocean see the development of the base through her.

Let him be more determined in his decision to support the Eighth Route Army in holding back the Japs, which is in line with the national interests of Goshawk Country!

In Lijia Village, it is the earing season of wheat seedlings. In the fields, the villagers are busy watering the wheat, topdressing, and catching insects. This is a critical moment that determines the harvest of the year, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Li Yaozu, the largest landowner in Lijia Village, although he does not go to the fields himself, he runs to the fields tirelessly every day;

He didn't do much, he just squatted and watched, staring intently, and sometimes he even touched it gently with his fingers, just like stroking his own child.

"The land is not worth it. What's the use of raising a son? One has been here for more than a year without even a letter! One only thinks of his father when he asks for money, and the other wishes he could move his family to a militia company!"

"

"It's better now. Even the old woman goes to the women's rescue association all day long and hangs out with a bunch of big-footed women, and she's not afraid of humiliating her little feet..."

"You say I'm backward. If I don't bother with you, I'm backward. How can I make the fields produce wheat?"

"Mai, it's better for you to kiss me. I'm good to you. In the summer, you will return my warehouse full of gold..."

Li Yaozu turned on the Xianglin Sister-in-law mode again, and the shadow-like Li San always stood silently behind him...

"The beauty of April in the human world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom."

"Alia, look at this vibrant countryside"

Chu Xiong started to pretend to be cool, but unfortunately he couldn't express what he meant. Of course, Aaliyah couldn't hear it and looked at Mr. Chu with admiration.

"Oh God, he can actually recite poetry. Sure enough, all Chinese men can recite poetry!"

"Sir, it seems that Commander Chu is here!"
