Volume 11, Thunderbolt, Chapter 90, Reverse Scales
.
Many years later, many people can still remember that everything was covered in 1917. His Majesty's sudden trip also caught the National Security Department off guard. It could only allocate the forces of other branches to protect Zhao Gang's safety. When other departments were passing messages, there were inevitably some deviations. So a huge mobilization began, with the targets of a Xishan Prison.
Xishan Prison is located between huge mountains and there is only a narrow exit, but there are no prison guards in this place. Since the Expeditionary Force's prisoners arrived here, all prison guards were removed, saying that they were allowed to rest and wait for another fight. However, anyone could see that no one was allowed to enter and exit. In fact, they regarded these soldiers as criminals. If it were not for the General Staff’s instructions, these soldiers might have fought desperately and smashed the spiritual shackles imposed on their heads.
Zhao Gang's car finally arrived at the periphery of Xishan Prison. A strong light immediately covered the armored vehicle, and at the same time, the vague sound of a bolt on the machine gun could be heard. The chief of staff walked out of the car door calmly. Although the white light could not open his eyes, he still shouted loudly: "Your Majesty comes to review the army and gather urgently!"
The strong light immediately avoided Zhao Gang's car like a frightened hare. After confirming the identity of the Chief of Staff, all the guns drooped to avoid fire. When Zhao Gang walked out of the car, everyone in the post put the guns on the ground, expressing their greatest respect for the arrival of his emperor.
The news came out. The Xishan Military Camp was immediately boiling, and teams of soldiers were lined up from the camp in an orderly manner, forming a neat team of ten thousand people on the playground, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to review. As for the hard life of more than two months, they also received the best reward at this moment. What is more exciting than seeing His Majesty!
The entire parade was in the snow, and the soldiers' shoulders were covered with snow. From behind, they looked snowy. They held their breath and listened attentively to the familiar voice coming from the armored command car: "Soldiers of the Expeditionary Force! You have traveled thousands of miles, led the powerful enemies, and made their own contributions to the stability and prosperity of the motherland. On behalf of the people of the whole country, I thank you and welcome the pride of you, the countries."
"Long live!" Then a thunderous sound rang out. Every soldier of the expeditionary army was using his best efforts to express his gratitude to Zhao Gang. Some of the strong men left tears and immediately froze into ice in the cold weather, but no one paid attention, and their attention was all attracted to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang's voice was a little choked, and he was very excited. In his subconscious, he returned to the snowy moment twenty years ago. He met in the snowfield and said in a stirring mood. His voice was calm and great, full of looking for the call of the times: You are the pride of the times and are destined to exist as the bravest troops. I believe you will live up to this mission! The war you are engaged in is a war of liberation and a war of justice.
Zhao Gang paused for a while, took a deep breath, and his voice became more firm: "Let the expectations of the people of the motherland guide you. Completely eliminate the Americans! Eliminate the British! Use these invaders to us for a century of humiliation, completely and cleanly burn them, so that the Chinese nation will become the most decisive force in the world at once!
With Zhao Gang's speech, the audience shouted: "Long live to stand up. Although even if Zhao Gang doesn't do these things, this army will stand up, the things that Zhao Gang brought about during this snowy night military parade were obviously not just a little morale. It was a spirit. He had always wanted to avoid Zhao Gang's land war on the US, and for the first time he saw clearly what he was worried about, what he was worried about was that once he could not kill the United States, China would face the attacks of the United States.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this consequence. It is like fighting on the street. If he fights, he still cares where he can't fight. This is ridiculous in itself. So after Zhao Gang figured out his own faults, he not only made up for his stupid brains, but it was not too late to fix the problem. The conflict between Japan and the United States still left a considerable space for China.
The next day, after realizing the direction of the wind, public opinion almost immediately changed direction and began to attack the Allies without mercy, and believed that it was the Allies that caused everything, as if another group of people attacked the Expeditionary Force before. The fickle performance was shocking, which directly led to a group of readers losing their trust in public opinion!
Afterwards, while the crowd surrounding the gate was exhausted and exposed many flaws, Han Xinghua could finally sneak into the Supreme Command. Out of sympathy for the expeditionary force, he was guarding the door.
The unwritten rule that the expeditionary army is not allowed to enter the Supreme Command has been automatically abolished, and Han Xinghua has become the third field marshal in the world!
In the Supreme Command, Han Xinghua met Zhao Gang. In Zhao Gang's study, the two talked secretly for a long time. Finally, Han Xinghua walked out quietly, his head could almost touch the ceiling. Wu Junsheng, the biggest boss in the army, muttered dissatisfied - Is this kid eating?
Facts proved that Han Xinghua did not take the wrong medicine, but received Zhao Gang's guarantee and fully supported the expeditionary force. Han Xinghua got the sword above and was so happy that he could not find the north. He immediately started to do a drastic move. The first step was to immediately mobilize all the elite troops from the Indian subcontinent to garrison and air transport them to Australia 24 hours a day. Each unit had to bring the supplies needed for a week. The strategic materials from various bases in the Indian subcontinent were quickly emptied, and he went to the local area to mobilize inventory from various places. The supplies from the war zones of Chengdu, Northwest Military Region, Northeast Military Region, and Central China Military Region of the Southwest Military Region became Han Xinghua's bags and were all swept to Australia.
The next thing was Zhao Gang's affairs. Zhao Gang tear off the gentle veil for the first time and delivered a speech in the newly built parliament building, demanding that the war budget be appropriately expanded and the country be included in the second-level national mobilization system. Zhao Gang's suggestion was almost immediately passed, and the war budget quadrupled without ambiguity.
All of these increased money was invested in military construction and equipment purchase. The military expenditure in 1918 increased by 4 compared with 1917. The quality and quantity of military equipment have been leaping. It cannot be said that it is not the result of increasing investment. However, some people are happy and some are worried. The Minister of Finance is already sweating and started to swear. The increase in so many expenditures at once can be said to have spent more than ten years of balance. Moreover, this rapid expenditure may lead to a financial collapse, which is something the Minister of Finance does not want to see. Of course, his opinion has not been paid enough attention to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang just gave a simple command, "Don't collapse, it doesn't matter if it is shaking, it's fine. It's fine if it doesn't fall down. It's really not possible, and it can't fall faster than the Allies!"
Since the money was obtained, it was natural to pass the military expansion proposal. Zhao Gang proposed a package of plans, including expanding the army, upgrading the existing troops, expanding the existing troops, expanding the organization of the American Expeditionary Force, changing the distribution of military forces across the country, etc. When he proposed the proposal in the parliament, the members of the parliament were silent, probably frightened by his courage. Although they were always suppressed by the emperor's innate domineering aura, the shock brought by Zhao Gang this time still made these people feel terrible. The army was expanded by 300%, u). More than 10,000 elite troops, and continued to increase and maintain this amount until the United States was crushed.
"At the same time, strengthen the air force, increase the air transport efforts, develop new giant transport aircraft, and end the war within four years."
Zhao Gang said while strengthening his emotions with gestures, and finally slapped the podium in front of him vigorously, "We will be able to solve all external troubles once and for all, and give our descendants a peaceful 20th century without war!" After saying this, even the most conservative gentleness...). He had to stand up and applaud warmly. His Majesty's idea was accepted. China's performance after the army suffered a setback was shocked by the world. The huge military expansion plan made Germany, as an ally, feel nervous, let alone Japan and the United States!
Zhao Gang's proposal was completely passed, but its essence was retained and implemented. This blow that China suffered in the fall of 1917.: China, which was beating that war will perish, increased the speed of China's sliding towards violence on the contrary. China began to embark on the military route after 1917. After being prepared with Zhao Gang, Song Bingce and Han Xinghua also partnered again. The two most powerful marshals in China, besides the emperor, finally joined hands to prepare for an unprecedented battle against the American continent!

Han Xinghua is indeed a military genius. His plans for the future are very huge, but just in front of him, after he reasonably allocates existing resources, the huge military potential he has shown is also convinced by him. However, Song Bingce's performance is also clear. Although he doesn't think Han Xinghua is so powerful, he has subtly moved that he has reached this point, and it is difficult for anyone to surpass him.
