    Shangfeng was sulking, but Zhou Weiguo was accepting the territory.

    After accepting all the territory in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, Zhou Weiguo began to order the 132nd Division, the 8th Division, the 9th Division, the 10th Division, four infantry divisions, and the 1st Heavy Artillery Division and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Division to start moving north to accept the surrender of the Japs.  territory.

    At this time, the Fifth Theater and the Eighty-eighth Army had an amazing tacit understanding. The Fifth Theater only controlled the Fuyang and Bozhou areas.

    The remaining places such as Suzhou, Huaibei, Suqian, etc. were not wanted and were left to the Eighty-Eighth Group Army to accept.

    Li Delin also knew his own situation. Although he had organized more than 100,000 Japanese weapon masters, the elite of the Gui clan had already been consumed a lot during the Battle of Xuzhou and before.

    Coupled with the previous combat consumption of a lot of weapons and ammunition, he now goes up and facing the heavy artillery brigade of the North China dispatched troops. He has no such strength.

    And there is also a problem related to this.

    Once he takes the lead in occupying these places, it will be equivalent to blocking the Eighty-eighth Army in the Jiangnan area and preventing the development of the Eighty-eighth Army.

    That is a life and death enemy. You know, the two of them are potential allies now, and their relationship is not bad.

    The Eighty-Eighth Group Army had only supported him with so many weapons and equipment before, so Li Delin naturally would not do these things, so he gave these places to the Eighty-eighth Group Army.

    In this way, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army will have a broader space for development.

    On September 22, 1938, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army's occupation plan was fully completed.

    Since then, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army's sphere of influence has become the second largest force after the Chongqing Agency.

    Of course, this is just in terms of area.

    In terms of military strength, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army now has eighteen A-type divisions, three heavy artillery divisions, one armored division, and so many air forces.

    The total number of people in the army is about 450,000!

    Remember, this is only the number of field troops.

    With the addition of local garrison regiments, security regiments, and these reserve forces, the total number of troops in the army is approximately 650,000.

    In terms of the number of troops, there are currently about three million troops under the Chongqing government agency.

    But in terms of the combat effectiveness of the troops and their performance in the Anti-Japanese War.

    The three million troops of the Chongqing Agency are not enough to withstand the attack of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.

    When it comes to weapons and equipment, let¡¯s talk about the Logistics Department.

    The Eighty-Eighth Group Army has the most powerful air force in Asia. Even the little Japanese Army Air Force and Hainan Airlines are not enough to compete with it.

    At the same time, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army also has three heavy artillery divisions and 675 heavy artillery pieces.

    And the divisional artillery regiments and other artillery under his command can crush the number of artillery owned by the three million troops of the Chongqing Agency.

    In terms of prestige, after Zhou Weiguo recovered Nanjing, it was comparable to Shangfeng's prestige.

    And in this battle, they swallowed up about 400,000 troops of the Japs and regained the Jiangnan area.

    His prestige is increasing day by day, and he has become the most prestigious person in China.

    Although his age has become a weakness, in the face of his military exploits, age is nothing to worry about.

    Back then, Huo Qubing had made countless military exploits at a young age, so with a precedent, Zhou Weiguo would have no problems.

    On the contrary, many people compare Zhou Weiguo to contemporary Huo Qubing!

    Shanghai, on the port.

    Today Zhou Weiguo came here with a group of people from the 88th Army.

    At this time, the port was surrounded by soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Army.

    No one is allowed to enter this area.

    Zhou Weiguo stood at the port looking at the sea level without saying anything. Chen Shaokuan standing next to him looked a little anxious and a little excited at the same time.

    Yesterday afternoon, he received news from Zhou Weiguo that he would be brought to receive the naval ship today. At the same time, the naval ship would tow the two overseas aircraft carriers in Shanghai into the port.

    "Chief! When will we arrive? Why haven't they come yet?"

    Zhou Weiguo saw that Chen Shaokuan had lost his usual composure and kept asking questions and looking at his watch. He couldn't help but chuckled: "Hou Fu! In just one hour, you have looked at your watch no less than twenty times! Don't worry.  ! They should be soon!"

    "Chief! You've said this no less than five times!"

    Chen Shaokuan's face turned bitter. Zhou Weiguo said this every time, telling himI can't hang it.

    "That's right! Speaking of the commander-in-chief, what kind of warships are we going to equip?"

    Chen Shaokuan knew that Zhou Weiguo had no idea where he got the weapons and equipment, including the aircraft.  But he guessed that this should be a secret of Zhou Weiguo.

    "This kind of secret is fundamental. He won't be stupid enough to ask. He will still make a fortune in silence."

    "It's nothing to tell you now! This time we will equip three Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers. I believe you have a certain understanding of this heavy cruiser. The standard displacement is 14,000 tons! The full load displacement exceeds 10,000 tons.  Eight thousand tons.

    It is a heavy cruiser with good performance!  In addition, his armament is also good.

    Equipped with 4 twin-mounted 203 mm 60 times caliber skc/34 main guns,

    6 twin-mounted 105 mm 65 times caliber c/33 high-level dual-purpose cannon,

    6 twin-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns,

    6 20mm anti-aircraft guns,

    4 triple-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes.

    As for the specific data, you will slowly understand it after you go down, so I won¡¯t say more!  "

    ¡°Gu~lu~¡±

    Chen Shaokuan swallowed hard in his throat.

    "Commander, are you saying that we need to equip a ship of over 10,000 tons?"

    Chen Shaokuan licked his lips and asked in disbelief.

    "It's now this time, do you think I might lie to you?"

    After receiving Zhou Weiguo's affirmative answer, Chen Shaokuan felt a little dizzy. He had previously thought that Zhou Weiguo would just equip him with some destroyers.

    Who knew that it would be a heavy cruiser of over 10,000 tons at the outset, which is the main surface combat ship second only to the battleship!

    In the past, he never dared to imagine that he could drive a ship exceeding 10,000 tons.

    ¡°Woo~wu~wu~¡±

    At this moment, a long whistle sounded from the sea. When everyone saw, five huge figures had appeared on the sea.

    The three ships in front are the brand-new Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, and the two ships in the back are towed aircraft carriers.

    "Houfu! Get ready! From now on, these three heavy cruisers and two aircraft carriers will be handed over to you.

    I will leave the shipyard construction talents and machinery and equipment to you.

    Generally, these ships need to be maintained every six months. I don¡¯t want us to be unable to maintain them when the time comes.  "

    "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief! If I can't organize it in half a year, I won't be able to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy anymore!"

    Zhou Weiguo smiled and turned to look at several ships slowly sailing into the port.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
