    Zhou Weiguo implemented a new economic policy within the jurisdiction of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army and abolished all original currencies. Even hard currency such as gold could not circulate in the market.

    Because major merchants only recognized bills, these merchants were summoned by the agency to specially participate in the economic seminar hosted by Zhou Weiguo.

    At the seminar, Zhou Weiguo talked about the situation they are facing now. If the economy is not reformed, both Shangfeng and Xiaojiizi will print a large amount of legal currency and pour into their jurisdictions. The economy in their jurisdictions will become the hardest hit area by then.

    The economic collapse is even more severe. Don¡¯t think that the economic collapse will only have a great impact on the people, but also on businessmen like them.

    So they all know that now they can only accept the bills.

    At the same time, because the New Economic Policy is somewhat consistent with some of the ideas of the forces in the northwest, in order to stabilize them, Zhou Weiguo specifically said: Personal property is sacred and inviolable.  The agency will not confiscate any of their property, allowing them to continue doing business without any worries.

    And Zhou Weiguo¡¯s implementation of the new economic policy made the little devils furious, and their plan could not be carried out.

    Originally, he wanted to use the economy to bring down the economy in the area under the jurisdiction of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army. However, Zhou Weiguo acted quickly enough. He reformed the economy so quickly and did not recognize any currency.

    Shangfeng could only sigh, and then immediately stopped printing large amounts of legal currency. At the same time, Shangfeng was also preparing to reform economic issues.

    Shangfeng had already noticed that the Japs were disrupting the economy in his jurisdiction before, but he had never paid much attention to it.

    Now seeing Zhou Weiguo reforming the economy, Shangfeng believes that he cannot fall behind.

    ?¡­

    Zhou Weiguo has no control over how to reform Shangfeng, because he is currently adjusting the air force issue.

    The Army has almost been adjusted. As a powerful branch of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, the Air Force is naturally also crucial.

    ¡°At the moment before the liberation of Nanjing, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army had four powerful air regiments and 275 Zero fighters flown by human pilots.

    There were also five Stuka dive bombing groups.

    There were only three of them, but later the system gave away 800 pilots twice, so Zhou Weiguo formed two more Stuka dive bombing brigades.

    ¡°In this way, the remaining pilots in Zhou Weiguo¡¯s hands are 5,650 pilots.  [Five,000 of them were pilots who recovered Nanjing and were given as gifts by the system]

    The active pilots are 575 Zero fighter pilots and 375 Stuka dive bomber pilots.

    In response, Zhou Weiguo made adjustments to the air force.

    With the suggestions of two professionals, Liu Suigang and Xu Huansheng, Zhou Weiguo decided to temporarily abolish the air force division organization and adopt the air force corps organization, so as to maximize the utilization of pilots.

    After all, the kid's air force has not yet reached its peak at this time. His Nakajima Type 97 has only been in production for half a year, and he suffered too many losses before.

    If an air force division is adopted, an air force division will have 225 fighter planes. Each deployment can only be done one air force division at a time. When encountering little devils with not too many and not too many fighter planes, they will fall into a trap.  The embarrassing situation of other air force divisions redeploying air corps.

    Therefore, the Air Corps organization is currently used instead of the Air Force division organization.

    The previous human pilots have been trained for so long and have fully developed their combat effectiveness.

    So now the Eighty-Eighth Group Army has a total of 575 Zero fighters, but Zhou Weiguo transferred pilots from those 5,650 pilots to expand the air force establishment.

    The first step is to make up for the last air force regiment, which is the eighth air force regiment.

    The Eighth Air Force Regiment previously had only fifty Zero fighters, and after replenishment, there will be eight complete Air Force Regiments.

    However, for combat needs, Zhou Weiguo once again formed eight complete air regiments.  In an instant, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army will have 1,200 Zero fighters.

    Zhou Weiguo then expanded Stuka¡¯s five bombing groups by five bombing groups, giving the Eighty-Eighth Group Army ten bombing groups and a dive bombing group of 750 aircraft.

    As for the additional one thousand fighters, Zero fighters and Stuka dive bombers, of course they were redeemed from the system.

    A Zero fighter has 30,000 system points, and a Stuka dive bomber has 20,000 system points.

    Among them, there are 625 Zero fighters and 375 Stuka dive bombers. A total of 625 aircraft are needed.The total is 26.25 million.

    If before, Zhou Weiguo would still have to worry about more than 20 million system points, but now!

    He already has more than 200 million system points. After all, the system points increase by more than 2 million every day. This is no joke.

    Next, Zhou Weiguo set his sights on heavy bombers.

    Since the liberation of Nanjing, the system has not only gifted Zhou Weiguo 225 heavy bombers, but the key is that the system has also opened the exchange of heavy bombers.

    However, Zhou Weiguo did not plan to equip all of these two hundred and seventy-five heavy bombers at this time. Instead, he equipped seventy-five, leaving one hundred and fifty, leaving seventy-five to train pilots, and the remaining  Seventy-five are temporarily mothballed.

    A B17 requires ten pilots, so Zhou Weiguo, the pilot of this heavy bomber, plans to recruit pilot training himself.

    So, after deducting the 1,750 pilots required for Zero fighters, Stuka dive bombers and heavy bombers, 5,650 pilots are left with 3,900 pilots.

    What do the remaining pilots do?

    Of course it¡¯s training pilots.  Zhou Weiguo began to build airports in various cities and recruited a large number of pilots.

    World War II is coming, a war that has swept most countries around the world.

    And China, as a big country in Asia, will definitely be swept in. The number of pilots needed by then will not be hundreds or even thousands.

    Rather, it requires tens of thousands, tens of thousands of pilots, or even more.

    In this case, Zhou Weiguo is not prepared to exchange all pilots from the system.

    After all, in the talent exchange system, a pilot costs 10,000 system points, which is almost close to the price of a fighter jet.

    By then, it will consume 20,000 to 30,000 pilots, which will be 200 to 300 million system points.  When the war breaks out, you will definitely have to exchange for other things, all relying on the system. If the system points are not enough, then what will you use to fight?

    As the saying goes, to strike iron, you need to be strong yourself!

    So under such circumstances, the surrounding agencies spent another 8 million system points to exchange for 800 trainer aircraft. Together with the previous 100 trainer aircraft, a total of 900 trainer aircraft were dispersed to various airports and began to make use of them.  System pilots train pilots recruited behind this.

    After Zhou Weiguo dealt with the air force problem, he set his sights on the armored division.

    ?¡­

    June 17, 1938, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army Headquarters

    "Guowei! How is the training of your armored division going now?"

    Before Nanjing was recovered, Zhou Weiguo had already asked Du Guowei to recruit armored troops and start training new armored divisions.

    But no one expected that the system would later gift 10,000 tank crews. However, Du Guowei's training was still going on, and Zhou Weiguo didn't want his previous hard work to go to waste.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
