In 1938, the Wuhan War began, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to hire an army from abroad in order to win the war, and naturally thought of the nepalese guerrillas. Gurkha was once a small kingdom in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and a vassal state of China in the Qing Dynasty, which paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty every year and then began to expand, and the small kingdoms that rose from this region eventually unified the entire territory of Nepal and became today's Nepal, and Gurkha, which was able to unify the whole territory of Nepal, was inseparable from the combat effectiveness of its Gurkha warriors. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to hire a force of 10,000 soldiers from this country, but the other side said: The money is too small to go.
The Gurkha soldiers who grew up in the mountains were physically strong, strong in character, and never afraid of death, so the army came out of Nepal. But it became famous as an overseas mercenary and originated in Britain, in 1813, Britain invaded Nepal, but after two years of war, Britain could not defeat Nepal, although Britain still had the advantage, but was eventually persuaded by Nepal's Gurka army, the two sides signed an agreement, Britain began to hire Nepal and appointed Gulka soldiers, and then the Gurka army traveled to the world as overseas mercenaries.
Because of their formidable fighting power, Gurka mercenaries were also employed by many countries during the war years, and as mercenaries, their income was ten times the per capita income of the country, after all, they were born and died. During World War I, Gurka mercenaries also became famous among mercenaries.
Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to hire the Gurkha army, and at that time wanted to hire 10,000 people, but the price of the Gurkha mercenaries was too high, far beyond Chiang Kai-shek's expectations, and later the Nationalist government negotiated with them for this, but the other side replied: "We only have money, not enough price, and we will not go." So, in the end, the Nationalist government failed to hire this famous mercenary.
