362. Handover (1)

July 26, 1939, Laiyang.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the thirty or so people in front of him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that General Zhou and General Chen would come here on their own. Why didn't you inform me?"

"It's also a good way to take a look at the local scenery." Zhou Zhirou said with a smile.

"How's the scenery?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile.

"It's good that the people have something to rely on and have a kind of vitality." Zhou Zhirou replied. He also didn't expect that the people's condition here in Laiyang would be so good, which is enough to show that Zhou Weiguo is not a simple young man. Then

, he chuckled to himself, also, if he were a simple young man, he would not appear here.

"Please." Zhou Weiguo immediately invited more than thirty people in. In the end, only Zhou Zhirou and Chen Jiliang entered the headquarters, while the others were led to rest by other soldiers.

Afterwards, several people took their seats. Li Weimin was still working in the headquarters.

"This is the chief of staff of our independent division, Li Weimin."

"Hello, Zhou Zhirou."

"Hello, Chen Jiliang."

"Hello, generals." Li Weimin returned the greeting.

"All logistics and financial aspects of our independent division are under the control of Weimin." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.

Zhou Zhirou and Chen Jiliang's eyes lit up, this was the God of Wealth, but they didn't do anything else.

After another soldier brought tea, the conversation officially began.

"I wonder if Brother Zhirou and Brother Ji Liang brought any orders from the Chairman?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile. When he saw these two people, he knew that his air force and navy might have the opportunity to expand even more.

.Now, he still has nearly 400,000 war points in his hand, which makes him feel that he must spend them anyway, otherwise, it will be suspected of wasting.

"Ahem." Zhou Zhirou coughed. The chairman of the committee had talked to him a lot, but when he got here, he still wanted to take a look before talking. The main reason was that the chairman of the committee did not say that the salaries of the air force and navy would be paid by the central government.

, or provided by the independent division. If it is provided by the central government, it is still possible to achieve the goal, but if it is provided by the independent division, then he is here to work. However, the chairman does not have any money left, and he also knows this, "

The Chairman didn’t say anything, he just hopes to increase the combat capabilities of the Air Force and Navy as soon as possible.”

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "In that case, let me explain to you two first. The Air Force currently has three brigades. The captain of the First Brigade, Qiu Ao, has shot down 34 enemy planes and has 8 squadrons under his jurisdiction.

The squadron has 10 aircraft; the captain of the second battalion, Zhu Ziming, has shot down 28 enemy aircraft, and also has 8 squadrons; the captain of the third battalion, Zhu Jiaxun, has just joined the independent division, so his record is also newly calculated

, on a previous trip to the Japanese mainland, he shot down 6 enemy planes, and he only had 3 squadrons under his command."

Zhou Zhirou took a breath, this was obviously much higher than the establishment, and then nodded. Originally, he really believed what Lao Jiang said, and thought that these captains were empty-handed, but now, they all have real achievements.

Yes, and there are also people under his command. The First Brigade and the Second Brigade, according to the regular establishment, can be directly used as a division. Later, he heard Zhou Weiguo said, "Each brigade still has

The fighter planes and bombers are empty, but they are missing pilots."

"Hiss!" This time it was Chen Jiliang's voice. As a senior naval general, he also knew the structure of the Air Force, and then asked, "When we just mentioned the establishment, did we include these empty aircraft?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "No."

"This!" Zhou Zhirou stood up excitedly. You must know that the national army does not have a decent air force now. Now, Zhou Weiguo actually has so many resources at his hands. He then said, "Don't worry about the personnel, I will do it right away."

Write a letter asking the Chairman to send more manpower."

Zhou Weiguo smiled, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

Zhou Zhirou waved her hand and said, "What's there to thank you for? I should thank you more. These people have learned a lot and have good skills, but now they are idle because they don't have an airplane. It's a pity."

Zhou Weiguo nodded, "This is the best thing."

Zhou Zhirou was also happy, but she heard Zhou Weiguo say, "I wonder if General Zhou has any arrangements for other positions in the Air Force Division?"

When Zhou Zhirou heard this, he thought to himself, "Come here, Zhou Weiguo has just given him a lot of face. On top of this, he has to give way to Zhou Weiguo. This is considered a deal. After all, in Laiyang, he still has to keep a low profile, and said, "Not yet

, the dozen or so people I brought here are basically my own guards."

Zhou Weiguo nodded and then said, "In that case, I will recommend some people to General Zhou."

"Okay, thank you."

"Qiu Ao can be the chief of staff and commander of the first regiment." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, "Zhu Ziming can be the deputy division commander and commander of the second regiment, and Zhu Jiaxun can be the deputy chief of staff and commander of the third regiment. I don't know what General Zhou will do."

Zhou Zhirou looked at Zhou Weiguo and felt helpless. She could only nod and said, "Okay. I believe that these three can afford this position."

"This is natural. After all, merit comes first." Zhou Weiguo nodded, then looked at Chen Jiliang and said, "Brother Ji Liang, let me explain to you the navy affairs next?"

"Okay." Chen Jiliang's eyes lit up, looking forward to the surprise Zhou Weiguo would give him.

"The navy currently has 3 battleships, 1 aircraft carrier, 1 battlecruiser, 3 heavy cruisers, and 30 submarines." Zhou Weiguo first said briefly, "The battleships are all Queen Elizabeth class of the British Navy.

The battleships, 3 Warspite, are mainly equipped with 8 15-inch caliber main guns, 12 152 mm caliber secondary guns, etc. The aircraft carrier is a US Lexington-class aircraft carrier. As for the battlecruiser, it is a Prestige-class battlecruiser.

HMS Repulse and the three heavy cruisers are London-class cruisers. As for the submarines, they are all German-made U-boats."

"This!" Chen Jiliang stood up excitedly and said, "Is what Mr. Zhou said true?"

"Of course it's true!"

At this time, Zhou Zhirou also stood up and asked, "What are the models of fighters and bombers of the Air Force Division?"

"Both fighter jets and bombers are American. I can't tell you the details. General Zhou will know when he goes to experience them. In terms of data performance, they will not be worse than Japanese aircraft." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.

"This!" Zhou Zhirou was obviously stunned by such a 'luxury' configuration. She even said with a little red eyes, "That's great, that's great. You know, the party-state used to take money and ask for help.

Grandpa tells grandma that they can’t even buy a good airplane. That’s great.”

Zhou Weiguo sighed. It seemed that Zhou Zhirou really wanted to develop the air force. For a while, he felt a little emotional in his heart.
