"All of you, please be careful." The major of the armed SS in a field gray field uniform stood on a mound and shouted loudly in Mandarin with a strong Jiaodong flavor.

"What I am holding is Germany's most advanced grenade." The captain raised his right hand and showed the long-handled grenade he held in his hand to the surroundings.

"Now the squad leader of each squad has received a sample, you can pass it down to the others in the squad to see." The captain put down his hand and made a gesture to the team leader sitting in the front row.

"Just take a look, and you'll pass it to the next one after you finish reading it."

"The second platoon leader, pay attention to discipline."

"You guys will be there to play later, so pass it down." Several team leaders quickly stood up from the ground and maintained order in their own team.

"Charge! Go forward, go forward! Everyone runs for me!" A sergeant chief shouted loudly, and a captain next to him was translating simultaneously with an iron horn.

In front of him was a whole team of soldiers wearing German gray field uniforms, wearing a full set of Y-shaped leather gear, a German m40 steel helmet, a kettle behind his waist, dry food bags, gas mask jars, and straight-handled infantry shovels. He held a standard 98k rifle and gasped to charge towards a hill covered with waist-high thatched grass.

These people have been training in the sun for most of the day, but none of them complained about it. The soldiers' faces were covered with sweat and mud, but they could not block the young Eastern holes.

"Your mission is to suppress the enemy's infantry firepower. I know that most of you have never seen a real battlefield, but it doesn't matter. As long as you pay attention to my lectures, understand the contents in the book, and act strictly in accordance with the contents of the combat regulations, then in my opinion, new recruits and veterans are not much different." The Army lieutenant held a mg34 machine gun in his hand and said in English to the young machine gunner sitting around him.

"It's not for you, major! I'm talking about all of you. What you learned before is garbage. This book is simply a pile of waste paper. You should throw it into the toilet." The German Army colonel whipped the podium with a horse whip and flew the paper scraps drawn from the infantry training textbook compiled by the Central National Defense University in the 22nd year of the Republic of China on the table.

"You are facing a modern army that is armed to the teeth... No! It should be a spiritually-armed modern army. As far as I know, your enemies and the tactics they use are not much more sophisticated than what is written in this trash book. But why do you still fail one after another! This also makes me wonder. Now you can sit down, major, let's explore this answer together." The colonel put the horse whip under his armpit and waved his hand at the scolded major officer of the State Government.

"Col. Gornif is a very good tactician. He seems to like his new students very much." Brenberg nodded with satisfaction and walked away from the window of the tent.

The German Marshal looked in a good mood. He put his hands behind his back, tapped his palm with his marshal's stick, took light steps under his feet, and hummed the Prussian march in a low voice.

The cooperation agreement between Germany and the government has been roughly signed, and the rest are some specific details, which do not require senior executives of his level to care about.

The marshal and the German head of state have the same character, both of which belong to an ant legs, and like to wander around when they are fine. Brenberg only stayed in Chongqing for two weeks. Apart from meetings and talks, he kept circling the entire mountain city.

Germany's arms sales plan was very fair and there was almost no profit, which moved Chiang Kai-shek very much. When the leader was excited at the banquet after the signing of the contract, he held tears in his eyes and raised his wine glass to toast the German head of state's health. He also loudly announced that the government would be the eternal friend of the Great German Empire.

Out of the idea of ​​reciprocating his favor, Brenberg immediately announced that the Third Reich would give a chemical factory to the State Government as a proof of the friendship between the two countries. This is not the marshal's favor in the country, but it is indeed what Germany means. Farbourne claims that the finished raw materials that have been processed through primary processing are more economical in transportation and storage.

However, it is rumored that this transaction also contains the opinions of the German head of state, and he seems to have some personal plans for this.

Chongqing showed amazing efficiency in this matter. Before Brenberg left Chongqing, the factory site had been explored and a delicate map was drawn and handed over. The address was set near Chengdu. It is said that even the land had been approved. It seems that the Chinese Minister of Finance attached great importance to this matter.

But no matter what, Brenberg only needs to complete his own tasks, and other problems annoy more professionals.

According to the domestic plan, after the visit to China was concluded, the mission would turn to Japan and conduct a two-week state visit to the Japanese government. However, in order to avoid wrong associations from the Chinese media and to take care of Chiang Kai-shek's face, the German mission did not go directly from Chongqing to the Japanese-occupied area, but returned to French Indochina according to the original route.

Brenberg communicated with Chiang Kai-shek in advance. The leader did not care much at the time and said that he personally could understand the arrangements of the German government. After all, this was a normal international exchange and the government had no position to interfere. He then expressed his sincere gratitude to the marshal for not hiding this from him, and believed that no matter what happened, the friendship between the two countries would not be affected in any way.

Obviously, the marshal's advance notice made him feel that he was respected by the other party and gave the leader a small satisfaction of his vanity.

What followed was the government's full cooperation with the agreement between the two countries. In Brenberg's view, the country had almost spared no effort to achieve the contractual goals.

The people of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces were once again mobilized under the banner of [Everything for the Great Cause of the War of Resistance]. Whether it is the Yunnan-Burma Highway or the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway, they all need to be comprehensively rested and expanded, and the original Yunnan-Vietnam Railway also needs to add two duplex lines to the original basis.

This is a huge project, but this time the government finally had money and no longer had to let the people work as labor (the corvee service system was retained in the southwest region at that time in the Republic of China, which is what is called the strong men. For example, the people who built the Yunnan-Burma Highway have their own tools and no salary, which is used to offset the labor and capitol taxes of that year.).

Several banks in France and Britain agreed to provide low-interest loans for these projects. Chiang Kai-shek thought these foreigners were fooling him, but HSBC transferred the first batch of funds of 20 million yuan the next day.

In the eyes of Britain and France, this is a good business. They urgently need to expand overseas markets and make up for domestic losses. The collateral for the loan is the mineral exploration and mining rights in the controlled areas of the Guofu, as well as the highway management rights ranging from ten to twenty years. The old aberration treaty, but the Guofu has long been used to it. Anyway, there are too many lice and no worries about debt. No matter what, you can still borrow foreign debts at this time, which is also a booster for the government, and gives the people a sense of confidence to win the War of Resistance.

In this matter, even those left-wing scholars who have always been dissatisfied with the government have a tacit understanding of their choice to remain silent. This is a major event that concerns the survival of the nation. At this time, anyone who drags the government back will be the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation.

At this time, few people knew that the government and Germany had signed a secret agreement in private that the German Wehrmacht would train an elite army in Myanmar and French Indochina. The number of people was temporarily rated at 50,000, and they were organized into two infantry divisions and one mixed brigade.

The German requirement is that all officers and soldiers must undergo the test of the German Wehrmacht and must have at least a junior high school education. If the sergeant is at least a high school graduate, the officer must be a military academy graduate. Those with study abroad experience will have priority.

This is a piece of pie that fell from the sky. After seeing the majestic posture of the armed guard brigade, Chiang Kai-shek dreamed that kind of elite force. But he also knew very well that the group of generals under him had limited real level, and at most they would train you a Beiyang Army.

Now the Germans actually agreed to use German officials to help him train a modern army with all German equipment and German tactics. What made Chiang Kai-shek even more excited was that after the training was completed, they would not interfere in the command of this army.

Of course, I have to sign. If you don’t sign with such good conditions, it’s a fool. Even the wife who doesn’t have a good impression of the Germans also jumped to show her support. If the Germans didn’t play tricks, this army might be the pillar of stabilizing the Chiang Dynasty.

In order to keep it confidential, recruitment was not carried out publicly in society, but was launched between middle schools in the name of recruiting special forces. This army has been designated as its imperial guard by Chiang Kai-shek, so of course, it is necessary to strive for excellence in the selection of soldiers.

All previous graduates are already social people. Chiang Kai-shek believes that they are not as simple as those of school students, so basically the goal is to middle school students.

However, a few days later, the situation changed. The news of recruiting student soldiers soon spread to various colleges and universities around Chongqing. Because the requirements were set very high, the college students had many associations. This was obviously not recruiting ordinary big-headed soldiers, at least it was certain that they were not recruiting cannon fodder. Therefore, it attracted many progressive students with national hatred and family hatred, and resolutely abandoned their studies and went to the recruitment office to register.

Soon the first batch of 3,000 soldiers were fully recruited, and the new soldiers were sent onto the train to transport labor. At the same time, a huge barracks were under construction in the outskirts of Tokyo, French Indochina. In the future, the famous [Youth Army] will be here for the first time on the stage of history.
