Later, Zhang Chi learned that this training base did not only train more than 3,000 people at a time, but was enough to train ten thousand people at a time.

According to Stilwell's idea, he wanted to expand the Chinese Expeditionary Force to three times that of a unit with a total number of 120,000 people.

In this ratio, it means that on average, each veteran must lead two new recruits, so the more than 3,000 people in the Engineer Corps should be expanded to more than 9,000 people, that is, one division.

The Americans' logistics support work on the battlefield also opened their eyes to Zhang Chi and the soldiers, because the ones who were transported from India to the training base were a car of American doctors and nurses in white coats. Among them, they were the blonde and blue-eyed nurses in the army. They kept smiling and waving their hands at the middle-aged people who were drooling on both sides. Some even boldly threw kisses one by one, which made the soldiers cheer and cheer.

There is at least one advantage of these military nurses, that is, the soldiers' habit of fear of getting injections disappears without a trace. Some soldiers even pretend to have some minor problems and ask the nurse to check it out.

The food in the army was also incredibly good: the infantry had plenty of bread, canned beef, various dehydrated vegetables, and sometimes even milk. On average, food was allocated to 12 soldiers per squad every day, and there were five or six beef and vegetables alone, weighing five pounds each. The rice that was divided could not be eaten no matter how much it was eaten.

The soldiers who were scared of poverty saved these canned foods from Tibet at the beginning... This is not to say that the soldiers are stingy, but that it is basically a luxury to want to have these things in China, but now they can eat them all.

However, the soldiers soon discovered that this was completely unnecessary, because they sent so much every day, so if they wanted to save it, they would be filled with dormitories in less than half a year.

Interestingly, when Chiang Kai-shek and his wife came to Sun Brabing one day to inspect, they couldn't believe it. They thought it was a superficial article made by Stilwell and the British to deceive them, so they went deep into the kitchen to check. They also sent entourages to the soldiers to investigate the questionnaire, and in the end he had to believe it. Then they said something that made the American and British generals accompanying him puzzled: "Chinese soldiers should be allowed to adapt to the hard life. They should not eat too well. Chinese and foreigners are different. If they are allowed to eat too well, they will not be able to fight in the future!"

There should be some truth to this: if a person lives in a difficult environment, he will live a hard life and have nothing to miss. Just fight! But if you live such a heavenly life in the base, then when you walk on the battlefield, you may think about it and don’t want to die too early.

But Chiang Kai-shek did not consider: every Chinese soldier in the training base left his hometown to fight in a foreign country.

There is a saying that "a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as a dog nest", so the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force all have an idea in their minds, that is, to fight back to their motherland and go home!

With the support of this belief, there is no such situation as Chiang Kai-shek said, "If you eat too well, you will not be able to fight in the future!"

Of course, this is all a story.

Then the soldiers received a copy of the "Soldier Code".

Zhang Chi casually opened the "Soldier Code" and saw that the opening line was: You are not a superman, don't take unnecessary risks.

Next, there are such as: "If a stupid method is effective in combat, it is the smartest method." "Don't be too conspicuous, because it will attract fire attacks from the opponent" and so on.

This looked very ordinary in Zhang Chi's eyes. Because he had seen this relaxed and humorous American teasing in modern times, but the warrior felt it was very fresh.

The gangster laughed and said, "How did this American say the war is like a joke?"

"Look!" The fellow villager read a comment while flipping through the "Soldier Code": "Try to make himself seem an irrelevant person on the line of fire, because the enemy may not have enough ammunition. He will first select the most important person to aim... How can this teach people to save their lives?"

"Is this the "Soldier Code"?" Even the educated and extremely poor student expressed doubts: "If you do what you said above, you will be defeated by the Japanese in a few strokes on the battlefield?"

"Oh! Otherwise, why would the British be so bad on the battlefield?!" The devil said while spitting out the dirty parts of his shoes.

"This American is different from the British!" asked the Maverick.

"I think it's almost the same!" The poor student replied: "They said the same thing. Although they are from different countries, they look the same. I'm afraid the Soldier Code is the same!"

"Oh!" The soldiers thought about it and felt that it was, so they nodded with a sudden realization.

Zhang Chi didn't interrupt because he knew that even if he explained it himself, he would be incomprehensible.

This has something to do with Eastern and Western cultures, and also with actual situations.

European and American culture attaches more importance to preserving the lives of soldiers. They think it is natural to surrender when they are unable to change the situation of the war. They will even be regarded as heroes when they go back, while the Easterners pay attention to fighting to the death to the end. They must never surrender under any circumstances.

In terms of actual situation, it is that there are countless weapons and equipment for industrial powers such as Europe and the United States. However, there are not many people who can go to the battlefield to participate in the war. This objective condition also determines that Europe and the United States do not pay attention to equipment but pay more attention to the lives of soldiers. Just as Stilwell said, if a gun is lost, it only takes a few minutes to build another one, but if the soldiers die, the growth period will take decades.

But China is exactly the opposite... So Chinese soldiers emphasized that "weapons are the first life of soldiers", "people are there, guns are there, etc.

In the Chinese army, if a soldier loses his weapons and returns alive, the superior will scold him harshly: "All weapons are lost, why is your head still growing on your neck?"

From this, Zhang Chi also realized that the Americans could not control the Chinese Expeditionary Force, or in other words, they could not be able to convert it into colonial troops, which is likely to be related to the different cultural and military theories of China and the United States.
