Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"System, prepare the official website update announcement. After the liberation of the Pingjin area, it will be automatically updated."

"Okay, host."

"Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao?"

When Xiao Zongmin came back to his senses, he saw Xia Dingbei's hand waving in front of him.

Seeing a group of people looking at him with worry, Xiao Zongmin chuckled and said, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something and got distracted."

Xia Dingbei asked with a gloomy face: "I asked this when I was taking his pulse before. I always couldn't feel the commander-in-chief's spirit. I wonder if the commander-in-chief had suffered from soul-losing disease when he was young?"

"Ah, no..." Xiao Zongmin was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought with some understanding that there was a system living in his soul, so ordinary pulse diagnosis certainly could not detect it.

"What is the current situation in the Pingjin area? I haven't received your battle reports for a while."

Xiao Zongmin changed the subject and skipped that topic.

"Commander, the 5th Reserve Division, the 5th Division, and the Lu-Yu Corps are now advancing steadily in northern Hebei."

"And you see, the Sixth Independent Regiment of the Luyu Corps broke through three Japanese blockades in one day and annihilated an independent mixed brigade, a transport regiment, and a puppet army mixed brigade."

"The remaining nine regiments are also on the Huanghua front line, fighting a positional battle with several puppet army divisions and Japanese divisions, and are gradually gaining the upper hand."

"The Fifth Division has also formed an encirclement in Hengshui. Together with the Sixth Independent Regiment, they have trapped more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers."

"Two brigades of the Third Division have already moved south to southern Henan and are now gradually dealing with local traitors and devils. The situation is also very good."

"Moreover, Li Qingping in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also sent a telegram to the headquarters, saying that his Jiangsu and Zhejiang column has been reorganized and can fight several major battles in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region at any time, cooperate with the local New Fourth Army, and drive out the devils in Jiangsu and Zhejiang step by step."

"Look, this is the structure he reported."

When Xiao Zongmin asked, Xiao Lin, as the secretary, reported everything that had happened in the past two days, and finally emphasized the affairs of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column.

After all, Xiao Zongmin always subconsciously ignored Li Qingping, which made it difficult for him to speak, after all, Li Qingping was too unscrupulous in doing things.

Just as Xiao Lin expected, after hearing Li Qingping's name, Xiao Zongmin was obviously silent for a moment.

After reaching out to take the telegram, Xiao Zongmin paced around the room for a long time with his hands behind his back before he slowly spoke.

"Xiao Lin, please remember this."

"Li Qingping of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column, the column headquarters has received your telegram. After careful discussion among the leaders of the column, we agree to your application and are now making the following adjustments."

"The First Corps, the Second Corps, and the Twelfth Detachment of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column will head north to the Suzhong area and will be under the command of the 501st commander."

"The Third Corps and the Fourth Corps of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column, the Column Guard Division, the Armored Division, the Transport Division, and the Security Police Corps carried out military operations in the southern Jiangsu region."

"Comrade Li Qingping, we know that you are determined to serve the country, but the situation in the north is tense now, and the headquarters no longer has mobile forces. We hope that you can develop locally and liberate the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions as soon as possible."

"Just send it over like this, Xiao Lin, send a message to Li Qingping in a private capacity, telling him to stop doing the same little tricks he did in Zhejiang Province when he was in Jiangsu Province."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that his little trick had failed this time and neither side suffered any consequences.

Li Qingping had played too big a game in Zhejiang Province before. The initial funds for the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column came from the cleansing of local secret societies.

After all, the threat from the secret societies is not as effective as the brainwashing effects of pyramid schemes. One sucks your blood, while the other gives you real money. Don't underestimate the common people at the bottom of society.

In just one month, Li Qingping swept across the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, gathering millions of people. Even the guard division around the big traitor Wang Zhaoming in the city of Nanjing had members under Li Qingping.

However, Li Qingping's methods were too cruel. During the cleanup, he even distributed US dollars to ordinary people. When the counterfeit money was exposed, it was still the people who suffered. This was criticized by Xiao Zongmin.

After all, in the liberated areas of the International Youth Column, the people are using copper coins. After all, after the battle, the system will not accept the bullet shells exchanged from it.

So the players collected them and handed them over to the ammunition factory of the column headquarters. The ammunition factory then die-cast the shells into copper coins to stabilize prices in the liberated areas.

What Xiao Zongmin dislikes about Li Qingping now is that if these people do not sell the dollars in their hands, the International Youth Brigade will still be the ones to clean up the mess, which will increase a lot of operation and maintenance costs out of thin air.

Just as Xiao Zongmin was thinking about the situation in the south, Principal Hu spoke with a worried look on his face:

"Commander-in-chief, the First Corps and the Second Corps are the elite of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column. If you transfer them to the 501st, I'm afraid Li Qingping will not be able to gain a foothold in the southern Jiangsu region."

Xiao Zongmin turned his head and glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "The main forces in these two corps are all Pao brothers. They are from the same hometown as the head of 501, so it will be easy for 501 to command them."

"Besides, Commander Hu never mentioned the 12th Detachment of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column. Is he afraid that I would ask you where your mountain division went?"

Hearing this, Principal Hu retreated sullenly. He had not expected that his superiors would discover his little trick.

Li Qingping started too quickly some time ago, and the intelligence agency of the International Youth Column investigated for a long time before discovering that the 5th and 6th Brigades of the Edelweiss Mountain Division were both in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

Once these information were summarized, it was instantly clear what Li Qingping relied on, but this was not the reason for him to seize the land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Xiao Zongmin squinted his eyes and looked at the players, then left the meeting room.

Xiao Lin walked up to Principal Hu and said to him:

"You need to guide people to spend their U.S. dollars instead of letting them rot in their hands and become a waste of money that they can't even clean up after themselves."

After saying that, Xiao Lin left the meeting room without any further delay.

Principal Hu looked at Xiao Lin's back as he left, and knew that this time the commander-in-chief had something against him.

……

Lin'an Jiangsu and Zhejiang Corps Headquarters

After receiving the telegram from headquarters, Li Qingping chuckled and looked up at the sky outside the window.

Edelweiss walked up to him with a grim look on her face and said straight to the point: "The commander-in-chief is not happy with the methods you used in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The principal asked us to get some foreigners from Shanghai to exchange the counterfeit banknotes in the hands of the people for supplies."

Li Qingping casually threw a handful of fish food into the fish pond, turned to look at Edelweiss and said seriously: "The commander-in-chief just worries too much."

"During this period, everyone knows that anyone who joins our Lin'an Security Police Corps will receive a resettlement allowance of $500. Now even the officers under Mr. Chang can't hold back, let alone the common people at the bottom?"

"Besides, how could the common people keep the counterfeit money in their hands? Didn't they all get collected by Mr. Chang's men? If they weren't greedy, how could they fall into my trap?"
