Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"Just be at ease!"

Li Qinwu pressed his hand and asked Director Yu to sit down again.

"The Northeast is the base camp of the Japanese. If the Punishment Army wants to survive there, how can they not have strong guns?

We started expanding our army two months ago, and now 8% of the work has been completed, and the rest of the work will be completed soon."

Director Yu's face was full of disbelief.

"How is this possible! You are surrounded by the Japanese invaders, you have no soldiers, no weapons, no supplies, how can you support so many troops? You are not thinking..."

What he wanted to say was that he was drawing a salary without doing any work.

Li Qinwu knew what he meant. Military officers of that era all liked to do this, frantically expanding the army while collecting empty salaries from above.

"It seems that the secret agents under Director Yu are not doing their job properly. Don't you know what life is like for the people in Northeast China under the hands of the Japanese invaders?

As soon as the news of conscription was released by our Punishment Army, brave men from the Northeast ran up the mountain in the heavy snow. I wonder what the shortage of soldiers means?

As for weapons and food, the Punishment Army has won so many battles, so naturally they will take them from the devils! I won’t bother you, the officials of the National Service. "

Director Yu slowly sat back on the sofa, his face expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

This is bad. The result of their discussion is to give the Punishment Army the number of a division. Now that the Punishment Army has been expanded into an army-level unit, what should they do?

A division of punitive troops could cause a lot of trouble in the city, and now that they have become an army, it is hard to imagine what they can do.

The situation that the person was most worried about, that the Punishment Army would become too powerful to be eliminated, has finally come true!

Seeing Director Yu's conflicted look, Li Qinwu and Li Jin started a small meeting to share their thoughts.

Li Qinwu said: "Wow, they want to recruit us with both the organization and the military pay. But they didn't expect us to be expanded into a military-level unit. I am so amused that I can't eat it anymore!"

Li Jin asked: "He has always been nepotism, and now he is willing to recruit people, I guess he is thinking of appeasing them first and then destroying them. Now there are Japanese invaders outside and mysterious forces inside, he can't deal with three forces at the same time.

His decision now should be to appease the Japanese invaders, focus on dealing with the mysterious forces, and then deal with our Punishment Army!"

Li Qinwu nodded and added.

"The reason why he made the compromise is related to the current public opinion. Brothers from all over the country have said that the Punishment Army has become a household name, and many intellectuals consider it an honor to join the Punishment Army. After we captured the Great Wall, this reputation reached its peak.

I can probably understand how he feels. He considers himself the orthodox Chinese, but now the anti-Japanese war has been overshadowed by the Punitive Army. He must be feeling uncomfortable.

He wanted to spend money to recruit us, so that he could say that our achievements were made under the orders of the national server."

Li Jin was a little worried.

"The Punishment Army has stolen his limelight. This is not a good sign. It has shaken the foundation of his rule. Don't be desperate and attack us and the mysterious forces together.

This is not good. We have beaten the Japanese in our country to a pulp. The Japanese are eyeing us covetously, and we are killing each other. Isn't this a joke?

Our decision is to use gentle means to gather domestic resources to fight against Japan. It is not good to fall out with the Nationalist government. We must deal with it properly! "

Li Qinwu looked at Director Yu who had a conflicted expression and came up with an idea.

He reached out and knocked on the table to attract the other person's attention.

“Director Yu, in fact, the serial number doesn’t matter, and it doesn’t matter whether the military pay is paid or not. I roughly know the concerns of the national service officials about my disciplinary army.

The Punishment Army is a strong army. It is natural for you to have some concerns, but our Punishment Army soldiers are dedicated to fighting the Japanese and will never engage in a civil war. This is the basis of our Punishment Army's strength. Our Punishment Army never appears in places where there are no devils and never stirs up situations in various places. Do you agree with this?"

Director Yu nodded.

"Yes, the Punishment Army has only appeared in the Northeast and Shanghai areas, but I am curious, how did your Punishment Army arrive in Shanghai?"

At that time, the Punishment Army suddenly appeared in Shanghai and then suddenly disappeared, which scared the top leaders of the national server. This was also the thing they feared most about the Punishment Army. A regiment suddenly flashed onto the battlefield. Who wouldn't be confused when seeing this?

Li Qinwu waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you recognize that the Punishment Army only wants to fight against the Japanese.

Let's put it this way. The Punishment Army can reach a consensus with the National Server. On the surface, the National Server can give the Punishment Army a military role. You can give military pay if you want, or not if you don't want to. It doesn't matter. I, the Punishment Army, can be self-sufficient.

With this army number, our Punishment Army will declare to the outside world that we are the armed forces of the Republic of China, maintaining national rule. The fruits of our victory are the results of your command. The Great Wall battleship can also be incorporated into the navy of the Republic of China.

If my Punishment Army offends someone you can't afford to offend, you can just abandon the Punishment Army at any time. We can share the honor, and you can blame the Punishment Army for any mistakes."

This proposal made Director Yu ponder. To put it bluntly, it was just like the change of flag in Northeast China. On the surface, they accepted the rule of the Nationalist Government, but in private, they still did their own thing.

The benefits of doing so are obvious. The achievements of the punitive army can be publicized as being led by the Nationalist government. Director Yu has even come up with several publicity plans.

The punitive army obeyed the government's order and moved thousands of miles from the northeast to Shanghai to join the war. The Great Wall battleship was successfully captured under the leadership of the Nationalist government's spies.

In short, it is to gild one's own image in order to ease the current domestic worship of the punitive army and instead worship the Nationalist government.

Director Yu thought that since he couldn't deal with the Punishment Army now, being able to make them give up their reputation was already a very good result, and his expression eased a lot.

After that, the atmosphere of the discussion between the two sides became much more harmonious. There was no longer that awkward and heavy atmosphere. They were just about to drink and chat happily.

However, during the break in the discussion, Director Yu took the time to mention Longlong Store, pointing out that Longlong Store was just a small shop selling daily necessities on the surface, but in reality it was a tentacle of the Punitive Army extending into the countryside, and that person was very resistant to this behavior of the Punishment Army.

Li Qinwu assured that they would not open more Longlong stores and would only maintain the current number. Director Yu was very satisfied with his statement.

What Li Qinwu was thinking was that he would give you face and not open the game in the national server controlled area for the time being. Now that warlords are dividing the country, it would be fine to open the game in other provinces.

I have 100 Longlong stores, and I'm afraid you will come to me.

I have 1000 Longlong convenience stores, you have to think about it.

I have 1 Longlong convenience stores. Xiaoyu, go get me a glass of water.

There are now more than 1000 Longlong convenience stores across the country, and the number is rapidly approaching 1. Once this target is achieved, Li Qinwu will be able to become a true shadow emperor!
