Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Just by talking about the first phase of the military expansion plan, everyone in the conference room was in an uproar.

However, the prestige that Sun Tong had accumulated over the years was there after all, so even though many people had different opinions in their hearts, seeing that Sun Tong had decided on this matter, this group of people finally chose to shut up.

The first stage is so grand, and everyone is looking forward to the content of the next two stages of Sun Tong.

According to Sun Tong's idea, in the second phase of military expansion, the number of South China troops will be expanded to 320 million, exactly twice that of the first phase.

By this time, almost all of Nanhua's existing reserve soldiers had been called back to the army.

In fact, in Sun Tong's opinion, with Nanhua's military strength, so many troops are enough to deal with the Japanese devils. However, war does not allow any accidents, so he divided the entire plan into three stages.

In the third phase, Nanhua’s army will once again recruit five million people from the country, but the content of this recruitment will be different from the previous two times.

The troops previously recruited were basically all Chinese, and the number of indigenous people from Southeast Asia was very small. However, in Sun Tong’s third phase military expansion plan, there will be three million indigenous people from Southeast Asia among the five million people.

These people were nominally fighting for the country, but those who knew Sun Tong knew that the only people he believed in were the Chinese. In his eyes, the natives of Southeast Asia were probably just a group of cannon fodder.

The plan to recruit nearly 10 million soldiers would make anyone excited, but it is not easy to implement this plan.

There are many issues involved here. With Nanhua's current strength, it will probably take some effort to solve these problems one by one.

"Your Majesty, if we recruit so many soldiers at once, I'm afraid we won't have enough junior officers in our army."

"This is an easy problem to solve. Now that the war has not started, we can build a few more military academies. By then, we can train new officers while letting the middle and lower-level officers in the army go to the military academies for further training, without delaying the two."

"What about Xihua? Do we need to prepare in advance?"

The population in Nanhua is constantly increasing, and Xihua is also not idle. Although the immigration siege from the Kingdom of Xihua has ended in recent years, the population of Xihua has been increasing.

The current registered population of the Kingdom of Xihua has reached 8700 million, and it is estimated that in another three years, the population of Xihua will exceed million.

Seeing that World War II was approaching, the Western Hua Kingdom, which had been coveting southern Africa for a long time, had also increased its infiltration efforts into southern Africa in recent years under the instructions of Sun Tong. However, because this matter was done in a relatively secretive manner and all the attention of the Ying people was focused on mainland Europe, they had no idea of ​​the changes in southern Africa in recent years.

"Don't make any moves on Xihua for now. The Yingguo people are at their most sensitive right now, so there's no need for us to offend them. Besides, Xihua's military strength is sufficient for now. When the Yingguo people can't hold on in Europe anymore and want to win us over to join the war, we will have time to expand our military on a large scale by then."

"Your Majesty, do you mean that we will not take the initiative to send troops to southern Africa in the future?"

"Whether we send out troops or not depends on whether the Ying people are compliant. If they are compliant and take the initiative to hand over southern Africa to us, then the final result will naturally be good for us, for everyone. But if the Ying people are not compliant, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Hasn't the Defense Intelligence Agency already sent people to infiltrate various local forces in southern Africa? If it really doesn't work, we can completely provoke those local forces in southern Africa to fight against the Ying people. I don't believe that the Ying people can still resist another Boer War."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Sun Tong’s method is very simple. As long as World War II breaks out, Yingguo’s full attention will inevitably be focused on mainland Europe.

By that time, they would not be able to resist the invasion of the Hans Kingdom, so how could they have the energy to care about southern Africa? Anyway, as long as Sun Tong did not break through the Asan region, the Ying Kingdom would not choose to fight to the death.

"By the way, how is the South China Air Force's equipment change going?"

"Your Majesty, the equipment change is still in progress. Now all air force divisions are adapting to the new equipment. Because several new aircraft use a lot of new technologies, the pilots still need some time to adapt."

"So how is the training program for reserve pilots going?"

"In the past two years, the five air force academies have trained a total of 6,742 pilots for the kingdom. However, more than half of these people still need a year of on-board training before they can join the army. It is estimated that in the next five years, the five academies will train more than 30,000 pilots for the kingdom, so your majesty does not need to worry about the shortage of pilots in the country."

"Okay, just keep this in mind. I'll go to the five colleges when I have time."

"Your Majesty is always welcome to come and inspect!"
