Chapter Twenty-Four: The Japanese Are Coming (Ask for Collection)

PS: The second update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!

On September 24, Wu Haoxuan and James rushed to Yingkou, and they were on this trip to pick up people. Just today, the passenger ship 'Shengli' from the United States to Yingkou will arrive in Yingkou. All the people on board this passenger ship were all people invited by Wu Haoxuan. In addition to the teachers of Wu Haoxuan and James, there are also engineers and skilled workers in heavy industry.

Jilin has already begun planning for heavy industry, and will invest in large-scale construction of factories next year. In order to ensure their own interests and confront Little Japan, Lao Maozi, etc., these heavy industrial factories will be established in the form of American capital for the time being. Although little Japan has become an emerging power after defeating Lao Maozi, they still can't compare with the United States, and naturally they don't dare to touch American-funded companies.

Wu Haoxuan and James are both dressed in dark green military uniforms, which makes their postures more upright. The Jilin Army has changed into a new military uniform, which was customized by Wu Haoxuan in the military uniform factory in the United States before returning to China, and a total of 200,000 sets were customized. It arrived only a few days ago, and all the officers and men of the Jilin Army have changed into new-style military uniforms.

This kind of military uniform, whether in style or fabric, is beyond the reach of other troops in the country. And this immediately aroused the praise of all officers and men. When many people can't even eat enough, it is really shocking that the Jilin Army has put on such a good military uniform.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the gold star on the shoulders of the two, which represents their military rank. Both were major generals in the Jilin Army. You must know that there are only four major generals in the entire Jilin Army.

"Haha, Haoxuan, the town is unimaginable! I'm actually a major general now. A few months ago, we had just graduated from West Point. At that time, we were only given the rank of second lieutenant. From ensign to major general at once, he has crossed many ranks! "James is very happy with his life now.

Although Jilin was a little poor, he realized his dream of commanding thousands of troops. The reason why he was willing to follow Wu Haoxuan to backward China was because he didn't want to spend his life in the United States. After all, the U.S. Army is not large, and even if they are graduates of West Point, they may not be able to find a stage to display their talents. In China, however, he did it lightly.

According to James's plan for his future, if he wants to become a major general if he stays in the United States, it may take thirty years or more. But now, in just a few months, he's done it.

"Alright, James, no need to show off. Soon you will become a lieutenant general, a general, or even a general and a marshal! Wu Haoxuan smiled. Of course, if James wants to develop in China all the time, then he may have to give up his American citizenship.

"You know what? I can't wait to show Harry what I look like! James looked excited. Harry was their military school classmate, and he was in a dormitory. It's just that Harry didn't come to China with Wu Haoxuan at that time, so he missed the opportunity!

"Alright, don't sรจ!" Wu Haoxuan looked a little speechless.

Half an hour later, the American-flagged passenger liner Victory sailed into port. There were a lot of blonde foreigners on deck.

Since Wu Haoxuan returned to China, there have been more and more cargo ships and passenger ships from the United States to Northeast China, and almost all of these cargo ships have transported all kinds of weapons and equipment, machinery and equipment, and personnel for Jilin. It is precisely because of these that Jilin can develop rapidly.

Wu Haoxuan and James both tidied up their clothes before walking towards the passenger ship.

A burly middle-aged man led more than a dozen young people off the passenger ship. This middle-aged man is Wu Haoxuan's teacher at West Point, Bruce, a soldier who once participated in the Spanish-American War. It's just that because he was injured in the war, he was transferred to West Point as a teacher.

"Teacher, welcome to China!" Wu Haoxuan walked up to Bruce and saluted him.

"Two young generals, now, it should be me saluting you!" There was a smile on Bruce's lips. Wu Haoxuan and James actually hung up the general star, which surprised him very much.

"Teacher, you're laughing!" Wu Haoxuan smiled.

"Oh God! James, it's crazy that you've become a major general. Twenty-two-year-old Major General, how is this possible? In the whole United States and even in the world, there is absolutely no such young major general! There was an exclamation from the crowd.

"Haha! Harry, sue you, this is what I deserve. Now, I'm already the deputy commander of an infantry division! And Haoxuan is the commander of this division! James said triumphantly.

Bruce was accompanied by a West Point teacher or graduate. They don't get along well in the United States. That's why I accepted Wu Haoxuan's invitation and planned to try my luck in China. However, Wu Haoxuan and James actually hung up the general star, which obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Once upon a time, they were still classmates!

"Teachers and students, welcome to Northeast China. On behalf of my father, I thank you for being able to help us. Please get in the carriage, we can afford to take the train before we can go to Jilin! Wu Haoxuan said.

As for the engineers and skilled workers who accompanied the passenger ship, they were the responsibility of the Xihua Group.

After arriving in Jilin, these teachers and graduates of the West Point Military Academy were warmly received by Wu Xingquan. This also made these people who originally thought that Jilin was too backward feel a little better. In fact, many people come for the sake of money. After all, Wu Haoxuan's salary for them is not low.

Bruce will be the vice principal of the military academy, in charge of teaching, with a monthly salary of 1,000 oceans, or 500 dollars. The rest of the graduates will serve as faculty members, and there will be four hundred oceans a month, which translates to two hundred dollars. Such a salary is already considered an absolute high salary in the United States.

The principal of the military academy was served by Wu Haoxuan himself. For the title of principal, Wu Haoxuan enjoyed it very much. In those movies and television in later generations, when so many generals called someone the principal, wasn't it very enjoyable?

Of course, Wu Haoxuan doesn't have so much time to soak in the military academy, he is now responsible for too many affairs. In addition to the construction of the army, he also has to intervene in government affairs. In particular, he needed to promote agricultural reform, infrastructure construction, industrial development, and education. Otherwise, Jilin's development speed would not have caught up with his expectations.

Therefore, Wu Haoxuan of the military academy is actually just a name. The day-to-day management of the father-son military academy is a person named Yan Yuchun. He used to be the general manager of the Beiyang Accelerated Military Academy in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, he is not Yuan Shikai's confidant. This made the Beiyang Accelerated Military Academy renamed Baoding Army Military Academy, and he was replaced by Feng Guozhang.

However, I have to admit that Yan Yuchun himself is still very capable. Therefore, Wu Xingquan specially sent someone to invite him to serve as the vice principal of the Jilin Army Military Academy. Yan Yuchun, who had never met Huaicai, did not refuse, even though Jilin was a bitter cold land, poor and backward, far from being comparable with Guannei. However, it is also much better than his current position.

In addition to Yan Yuchun himself, he also contacted more than a dozen teachers from the Baoding Military Academy to come together, which greatly strengthened the teaching force of the Jilin Army Military Academy.

The address of the military academy is just outside Jilin City, a large courtyard that has just been built. It's a bit shabby, but it's okay to make do.

On September 28, Wu Xingquan, the overseer of Jilin and commander-in-chief of the Jilin Army, attended the inauguration ceremony of the Jilin Army Military Academy and officially announced the establishment of the military academy. The trainees of the first batch were all battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders drawn from various divisions, totaling more than 100 people. From now on, they will undergo a six-month crash course. Half a year later, another batch of people will be replaced.

In the military academy, they will mainly learn a series of things that they have not been able to touch before, such as command, logistics, and the international situation, which is very necessary to improve their quality. Wu Haoxuan even called on the division commanders and regiment commanders of all divisions to come and observe the hearing when they have time to improve their abilities.

On the second day of the establishment of the military academy, Wu Haoxuan rushed to Changchun. The Changchun Arsenal will be officially put into operation. The extremely equipment and workers brought in from the United States will make the arsenal officially operational.

Of course, all the workers and raw materials, as well as the machines, come from the United States. Workers recruited in China are being trained. When the size of the arsenal begins to expand, it will be able to come in handy.

At present, the production capacity of the arsenal is extremely limited. Even after Wu Haoxuan's epoch-making assembly line operation, he was only able to produce 1,000 rifles per month. This is still far, far from Wu Haoxuan's expected goal.

Wu Haoxuan hopes that after the arsenal is fully completed, it will be able to produce tens of thousands of rifles and matching bullets every month. In addition, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, field guns, and howitzers must be produced in-house. Only in this way will you not be stuck in the neck by others.

Although, now the arsenal is still small. However, this is undoubtedly a good start. As long as he keeps trying, his goal will always be achieved.

However, soon Wu Haoxuan's good news brought by the establishment of the military academy and the completion and commissioning of the arsenal was all gone. The Japanese and Lao Maozi signed the "Treaty of Portsmouth", and the interests of the southern part of the Northeast were transferred to the Japanese by Lao Maozi!
