Chapter 78 Eliminating Concerns
The beautiful female reporter's face turned extremely pale in an instant. When the No. 4 tank appeared in her field of vision, her face had turned dead gray. She stood there in a daze like her own father, staring blankly at the No. 4 tank rumbling by.
After passing the tank, there were twenty infantry phalanxes with uniform movements. Looking at these serious and disciplined German soldiers, the beautiful female reporter was completely numb. After taking a few photos in a hurry, she disappeared into the crowd.
"Welcome...welcome...to defeat the Japanese invaders...Long live China..."
...
The military parade was successfully completed. Nanjing citizens and even the people of China, with the Nanjing government spared no effort to promote it, saw a new dawn in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Especially those passionate young people organized greater parades and enthusiasm for joining the army, and those who did not join the army also organized fundraising. The sluggish morale of the frontline officers and soldiers had improved a little, especially the national army located on the outer defense line of Nanjing. The originally hopeless battle has finally come to such a hint of hope.
Chiang Kai-shek held a banquet at the presidential residence to entertain some of the protagonists of the Flying Eagle Corps. German officers were relatively rigorous, and no one took the initiative to find Chiang Kai-shek to establish a relationship. Li Mo was an alternative, and had a fierce fight with Chiang Kai-shek and his wife. Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to make friends with the son of the world's arms king. The two were like firewood, which was really too late to meet.
Li Mo didn't want to get any chance to get promoted and make money from Chiang Kai-shek. He is now a German, so the idea is unrealistic. Li Mo just wanted to establish a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek and cooperate in the next time. After all, the main soldiers of the Flying Eagle Legion were drawn from the National Army. It would be easier if Chiang Kai-shek wanted to play with something. With a good trust relationship, it would be convenient to communicate with each other, so as not to have a gap between the two families.
Other German officers were either drinking and chatting or dancing with the girls who were dancing, while Li Mo had been invited by Chiang Kai-shek to the lounge next to the banquet:
"Mr. Ondet, this military parade was done well, and the people and the army responded a lot! It seems that your commander is a person with good abilities."
Li Mo understood that Chiang Kai-shek was still worried about handing over his troops to the Germans for command. He indirectly asked Li Mo for information about Rommel, the commander of the "Flying Eagle Legion". Li Mo must give Chiang Kai-shek confidence and make him trust Rommel unswervingly, otherwise the troops would be difficult to lead.
"Chairman, let me tell you this! I believe you should also have some information about General Rommel. He is a hero of World War I and has a lot of combat experience. He also wrote a book based on his own experience, called "Infantry in Attack". Even the book "The Head of State" is highly praised. This shows that General Rommel's combat theory is also very outstanding. He himself is loved by soldiers. So please rest assured, General Rommel will definitely bring you unexpected surprises with the Flying Eagle Legion."
"Of course, of course, why would I not be at ease with the general sent by Mr. Hitler! I am very satisfied with General Rommel, and there is no doubt about this."
"Then how are you recruiting the personnel, Chairman? After all, the war is urgent now, and the front line is already in danger and may collapse at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to draw elite soldiers from the National Army to form a complete Flying Eagle Legion. There are three divisions in the Flying Eagle Legion, including two mechanized infantry divisions, one armored division, and one reinforced flight regiment. About 40,000 people need to be recruited."
"Of course, the Flying Eagle Legion transported so much equipment this time, how can I do it without enough manpower? I have prepared all the elite troops drawn from the Central Army."
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could not have handed these advanced weapons and equipment to local warlord soldiers. Otherwise, when the German instructor left, these weapons would not be his Chiang Kai-shek's, and Chiang would never have made wedding clothes for others. To put it bluntly, the Central Army was the starting unit of Chiang Kai-shek's unit, the direct unit, also known as the Jiangsu-Zhejiang unit.
"Then thank you, Chairman. Don't worry, after we leave, I will find a way to hand over this heroic weapon and equipment to the Chairman's hands completely. If others want to get involved in this army, it's a broken hand and a broken foot. Chairman, please give it ten thousand hearts! In addition, please put the elite 4,000 military police on my armored division. This armored division will be the sharpest knife in the hands of the Chairman in the future."
"Sensible and smart." When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he smiled. Krupp's son is worthy of being the son of a big European capitalist! He is so sensible. What Chiang Kai-shek was worried about was that this army fell into the hands of his political enemies and he would take the army into his own hands anyway, so that the army would only be loyal to him. Once this concern was eliminated, the conversation would be much more pleasant.
Soong Mei-ling didn't talk much. Soong Mei-ling didn't participate in military and national affairs, but she rarely made statements when she was in front of others. After Li Mo left, Chiang Kai-shek asked Soong Mei-ling:
"Meiling, what do you think of this little Krupp?"
Soong Mei-ling is still so charming, she thought about it and said:
"I am very optimistic about this little Krupp. He is smart and sensible. He can see the essence of things at a glance. He is a rare talent. It is really his blessing to have such a son. His future is limitless."
"I think so too. Since Krupp has eliminated our concerns, I will issue an order tomorrow to transfer the 40,000 elite soldiers prepared to them."
...
Some people say that China's thinking is wrong, that is fart. Nowadays, many people attribute China's backwardness to the fact that the Chinese are too clever. In fact, this is nonsense. If a nation with insufficient wisdom wants to stand at the top of the world's nation, it is a dream. Our backwardness is caused by historical reasons, and there are some ancient systems in which we Chinese evolved a thousand earlier than other nations and entered a civilized society. When we are humans, their nation is still monkeys.
The next day, Rommel was officially recruited into the Presidential Palace, and the Flying Eagle Corps' garrison also welcomed tens of thousands of ragged 40,000 soldiers of the National Army. These soldiers were not without good military uniforms, but they had just been drawn from the front line. The clothes were traces of war everywhere, either burned or cut. Clothes were a trivial matter. This time, more than 100,000 sets of German military uniforms were transported, but they had no military ranks, so they had to use their original ranks.
When all the German instructors saw these 40,000 people, they couldn't help but fall in love with these soldiers from the bottom of their hearts. Although they were ragged, their spirits everywhere reflected the heroic spirit that a soldier should have. There were 17,000 infantry mechanized divisions in the German army, and only 12,000 armored divisions. The total strength of the Flying Eagle Legion reached 46,000. These 40,000 troops were still not enough to divide!
