Chapter 400: Expansion in progress, the Lions are ready
"in this case."
"Expansion is inevitable."
"As you all know, I have always advocated for elite troops in battle, rather than simply believing that a large number of troops equals greater combat effectiveness."
"But when the foundation is strong enough, it's only natural that there's strength in numbers."
"All right."
"That's a bit too much."
"Now, I will announce the detailed expansion plan and specific personnel changes!"

"Logistics Department: Director Zhuge Zhongxin, Deputy Director Ding Dasuanpan. Main Responsibilities: Coordinate and plan the brigade's approximately 1000 military trucks, and be responsible for the brigade's transportation, logistics, and arsenal!"
"Intelligence Department: Director Zhuge Zhongxin..."
"The entire brigade is composed of four infantry brigades, two heavy artillery brigades, a reinforced cavalry regiment, an armored regiment, a rocket artillery regiment, a direct guard battalion, and a new recruit regiment!"
"Excluding the new recruits, the total number of personnel is 47660!"
After Lin Xu finished his announcement.
The entire New 1st Brigade.
Silence fell.
They all seemed to be shocked.
More than 47,000 people...
This……
What is rhythm?
This is the rhythm of reaching the sky in one step!
I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it at all.
You should know that before this expansion plan, the entire New 1st Brigade's field troops actually had only more than 15,000 people.
That's it.
Most of them are new recruits.
Li Yunlong's cigarette.
He smoked one cigarette after another.
As I smoked...I didn't feel any bitterness at all.
At this moment, I am completely immersed in my emotions.
At this moment, directly questioning him in front of everyone would definitely offend Lin Xu.
But he couldn't bear not to say it.
Finally, Li Yunlong put out his cigarette and walked silently to Lin Xu's side.
"Old Lin."
"If you run too fast, you'll probably get your balls ripped."
"Lao Lin, I know you want to develop the troops as quickly as possible and improve their combat effectiveness."
"I want these too."
"But we can't get away from reality, right?"
"We have to be realistic, right?"
"The 15,000 men ahead haven't been used up yet, and many of them are still rookies."
"Now it's all good. We've expanded from 15,000 to over 47,000 people in one go..."
"The number of troops has been tripled again!"
"Old Lin, Old Lin."
"I thought you could just double the size of your army..."
"Damn..."
"You kid are going to heaven!"
"When you said you wanted to form four infantry brigades, I thought you were joking."
"Who knew you were actually serious about this?"
"Old Lin, Old Lin, aren't you... setting yourself on fire?"
Li Yunlong's brows were furrowed into a shape of "川".
"Old Li."
"The layout is bigger."
"Bigger."
"Where is this?"
"all of these."
"Hasn't it just begun?"
"Hold still."
"I originally planned to form a security force in Liangcheng and Longyuan Mountain respectively."
"For example, the Liangcheng Guard Brigade and the Longyuanshan Guard Brigade."
"But think about it."
"For now."
"It's not that far yet."
"Old Li."
"If you have any opinions on the arrangements for the brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders, you can raise them."
“But the overall expansion plan is now a foregone conclusion.”
Lin Xu said directly.
It’s not that he wants to have the final say.
It’s not that he just likes to expand rashly and make a big fuss.
Time really waits for no one.
The Japanese 9th Imperial Army...will enter Shanxi Province in a month.
There is so little time left for him.
