Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

In fact, even if the mayor didn't say anything about this matter, Li Shaoyi knew it in his heart. Beiping was the territory of the 29th Army, and the 29th Army was not even happy with the Central Army entering Hebei Province.

The local warlords had nothing else to do but to be obsessed with territory, so the faster Li Shaoyi developed, the more the 29th Army disliked him. After all, Li Shaoyi was still an anti-Japanese fighter, and the 29th Army had dealt with the Japanese for a while, and they also had a batch of arms, so the 29th Army was so gentle in its actions.

According to the plan proposed by the 29th Army, Li Shaoyi's current eyesight would not be affected, and he could continue to stay in Peiping, that is, at the Railway Station Police Station, the East District Police Station, the South District Security Squadron, the three squadrons in the North District, and the Tax Police Brigade.

In addition, Li Shaoyi could not continue to expand in Peiping. As for areas outside Peiping, the 29th Army could provide assistance, especially in the area of ​​the autonomous government, where Li Shaoyi could do whatever he wanted.

Li Shaoyi didn't know what to say about the conditions offered by the 29th Army. This was purely using other people's territory to fool us and prevent us from developing in Peking. They were afraid that we would become too big one day, which would make things difficult for them.

"I know these conditions aren't very fair to you, but the 29th Army has a lot of influence in Peking and even North China. If we confront them head-on, some things will be difficult to say. After all, the 29th Bureau has a good reputation. They used to fight against the Japanese. Although their current policy towards the Japanese is a bit weak, it is also due to their lack of strength. So it is best not to clash with them."

Mayor Yuan had no idea what Li Shaoyi was thinking, so he could only test him cautiously. Fearing that Li Shaoyi didn't know the history of the 29th Army, he told Li Shaoyi about the 29th Army's experience in the War of Resistance Against Japan, hoping that Li Shaoyi would not bother too much with the 29th Army for the sake of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

"Mayor, don't worry. I know who the 29th Army is. They simply place too much importance on their territory. Please tell them that I will not continue to expand within the city of Peking. Just do as they say."

After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, Mayor Yuan felt incredible. You know, since Li Shaoyi's rise to power, he has been aggressive about everything. The 29th Army was equivalent to drawing a framework for Li Shaoyi, but he didn't expect that Li Shaoyi actually listened to it.

"That's good, that's good. Both of your teams are anti-Japanese teams. You must not start a fight under the eyes of the Japanese. That would make them laugh. But if you want to expand your team, the autonomous government is a good place. Nanjing also wants to drive a nail into North China. I think in the near future, Nanjing will continue to win you over. For every county they occupy, they can set up a roughly equal-sized security regiment."

What Mayor Yuan said was also what Li Shaoyi had thought before. It was no longer possible for such a small place as Beiping to continue to develop. The biggest blue ocean was in the autonomous government in the east. They still had nearly twenty counties' territories. We could just take them over one by one. If we could form twenty guard regiments, why should we look for food in Beiping?

What's more, it will be too conspicuous in Beijing and easily lead to conflicts with the 29th Army. When we replace the autonomous government and become the local hegemon in North China, neither Nanjing nor the 29th Army will be able to draw such a framework in the future. We are also a powerful force with heavy troops.

"Mayor, there's one more thing. My subordinates are all a bunch of roughnecks. Although the chief of staff I've hired has some experience in governing the people, he only has experience in governing one or two counties at most. If the territory is larger, he simply doesn't have that kind of ability. Do you think you could lend me Secretary Wang?"

Li Shaoyi said somewhat embarrassedly that Mayor Yuan's connections in the Beiping Municipal Government were already very narrow, and Li Shaoyi wanted to poach his capable generals, which was completely unacceptable.

Who made him lack the talent to manage civil affairs? Li Shaoyi learned from the side that Secretary Wang was no ordinary person. He had worked as a clerk at multiple levels in the government and had also been trained in the township government. He knew a lot about the people's affairs.

"You, little brat, are like a knife cutting through my heart. I've been training you for such a long time, but I haven't put you to any great use yet. You've taken a fancy to me first, but let's focus on your side first. With you here, I should be able to carry out my work in the city government well in the future."

Mayor Yuan was really reluctant to let go. Who doesn't want to have a good secretary? But the lands captured by Li Shaoyi were all from the autonomous government. If he didn't have a capable person, he probably wouldn't be able to manage it.

"Thank you so much for your support, Mayor. From now on, as long as your work in the city government benefits the people and the anti-Japanese war, I will fully support you."

Li Shaoyi said with a smile that he had finally found a capable person.

Secretary Wang Shuhai was still sorting documents at his desk outside the office. Li Shaoyi shook hands with him before leaving and said that they would meet soon. Wang Shuhai didn't understand what was going on, but half an hour later the mayor talked to him and asked for his opinion.

Going to the east to manage civil affairs is naturally not as good as staying in Peking compared to being the prominent mayor's secretary, but Wang Shuhai is also an ambitious person. Although he has smoothed out his edges in the Peking Municipal Government over the years and even received some small favors.

But in Li Shaoyi, Wang Shuhai seemed to see the hope of national rejuvenation, so when Mayor Yuan spoke, Wang Shuhai had already expressed his agreement, which made Mayor Yuan himself a little disappointed. He had trained you for so many years, but he didn't expect that you would have no attachment at all.

When Li Shaoyi returned to the police station at the railway station, Wang Shuhai called him and said that he could take office at any time. Li Shaoyi appointed this guy as a political advisor to Tongzhou. After all, the county governors of those two places were still there, so he asked Wang Shuhai to implement some new policies in those two counties.

The confiscated land and property from landlords and bullies should be distributed to the landless and low-income people. The main transportation routes in the county should be investigated. Even if they are dirt roads, they should be built as soon as possible. At least within these two counties, cars can go to most places.

Both tasks were rather cumbersome. Cui Minsheng had already been part of the initial effort, but because he also had to train new recruits, he couldn't take care of both. He could only ask Li Shaoyi to dig someone over from the Beiping Municipal Government.

Wang Shuhai is the right person.

Li Shaoyi believed that with Wang Shuhai's efforts, these two counties would definitely be the first to turn red...
