At 4:30 in the afternoon, Sun Chengping brought a batch of cash and a batch of bank deposit certificates to the police station at the railway station where Li Shaoyi was. There were already many reporters gathered there. If the money really did not arrive, Li Shaoyi would definitely make the matter public.

Sun Chengping was afraid that the reporters would take pictures of him. After all, these reporters had amazing political acumen. If he was photographed by them, they might think of something bad, so he went in through the back door.

"Wouldn't it have been over earlier? Why bother with all that useless stuff? Now that we're all happy, tell Commander Yamamoto that we're not interfering with each other. But if you mess with me, don't blame me for being rude. Also, tell him to hurry up with the East District Police Chief."

As Li Shaoyi spoke, Sun Chengping nodded. In front of Li Shaoyi, this guy was not arrogant at all.

"Captain Li, don't worry. This will be done soon. It should be ready by next week at the latest. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Sun Chengping took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. If it weren't for the above matter, he wouldn't want to stay with Li Shaoyi for even a minute and had to leave here as soon as possible.

Li Shaoyi waved his hand nonchalantly, and the guy left quickly. Li Shaoyi still had a lot of things to do next. He asked his men to transfer all the money and put it in a Japanese bank, which did not give him any sense of security.

Of course, he was not afraid that the Japanese would deduct the money. If the Japanese deducted the money, or if something happened, it would be very unfair to Li Shaoyi. He would just lead his troops to rob the Japanese treasury, which would be more than the current amount.

The reporters outside thought there would be news today, but who knew that Li Shaoyi was going to treat them to a meal in the evening. Although everyone was a little disappointed, when they learned that the venue was the Six Nations Hotel, these reporters kept quiet. With their usual salary, it was probably unlikely that they could go to the Six Nations Hotel for a meal.

Some people have also guessed that Li Shaoyi must have something to announce, but it was delayed for some reason. Since he doesn't want to announce it, we shouldn't push him too hard. Anyway, there is plenty of news about Li Shaoyi.

"Great news, Marshal. Great news, great news."

After eating and drinking to his heart's content and collecting the money, Li Shaoyi was just about to have a good sleep when Wang Shuhai came in from outside. This guy had been arranged by Li Shaoyi to go to several counties in the east. His job was to restore order in these counties as soon as possible. He really didn't know what good thing had happened at this moment.

"What? Did you find gold?"

Li Shaoyi was already very sleepy and now he was yawning as he spoke.

"It's much more important than gold. The Nanjing National Government has issued an order. Now you are the Commissioner of Jidong."

Wang Shuhai said very happily and took out a telegram from the Executive Yuan of the Nanjing National Government.

"What does this mean?"

Li Shaoyi said puzzledly, "Isn't it just a commissioner? I was also a commissioner of the Beiping Municipal Government before. Even if the one appointed by Jinling is of a higher level, it is almost the same as before."

"This means you are now a high-ranking official. The Nanjing Nationalist Government is planning to establish a Jidong Special District in the counties east of Peking. You will be the head of the district. In other words, we are now recognized by the central government."

Wang Shuhai said with a smile, and Li Shaoyi seemed to understand something. In the past, Mayor Yuan gave him the identity of a commissioner, but there was no approval from Jinling.

Now this commissioner has great power. In the counties east of Peking, the appointment of all officials, including the formation of the army, is all decided by Li Shaoyi. He is like a miniature governor.

"Oh my God, there hasn't even been a village chief in my family..."

Li Shaoyi muttered softly, although he knew that people who were reborn would be promoted, but his promotion speed was a little too fast.

"That's not right. The Nationalist government has no good intentions. They can't intervene in North China, but now they keep promoting me. Are they trying to establish me as the third power?"

Li Shaoyi immediately came to his senses. Although the Nationalist government nominally unified the country, the area around Tianjin and Beijing was the territory of the 29th Army. If the Nationalist government wanted to take charge of affairs here, it would face many obstacles, and the Japanese were also interfering.

In the past, the 29th Army pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed the orders. Relying on their strong power in Peking, they did not carry out some of the orders of the National Government. The bigwigs in the south could do nothing about it. After all, without a balancing army, the small warlords in various places were useless.

But now Li Shaoyi has occupied several counties. Although he is also a small warlord, Li Shaoyi's combat effectiveness is also amazing. Yamamoto's two thousand people were not announced in the newspaper, but everyone is smart. Except for Li Shaoyi's army, no one can eat these two thousand people.

Li Shaoyi's current territory is small and his army is small. Once his army increases in number, it's still unclear who will be the overlord of North China. The guys in Nanjing studied it for a while and finally decided to promote Li Shaoyi. Anyway, Beiping won't listen to us, so we might as well muddy the waters.

"General, you're right. But I've analyzed it. Even if Jinling has bad intentions, it won't do us any harm. We can take this opportunity to develop. Now that you're the Commissioner of Jidong, it's probably not going to work if each county only has one garrison regiment. You can ask Jinling for an organization. In addition to the garrison regiments and security regiments in each county, we can also have proper units."

Li Shaoyi was quite interested in what Wang Shuhai said. If it was just an empty title, he would not be interested in it, but if he could get a large number of positions, then it would be exciting.

"What kind of organization can six county towns require?"

Li Shaoyi didn't know much about the situation of the National Government, so he had to rely on Wang Shuhai.

"According to the Nationalist government's practice, a special zone has several counties under it, and the number of troops required varies from one regiment to one brigade, depending on the surrounding security situation. We have the 29th Army to the west and the Japanese to the east, so a brigade is not excessive."

Wang Shuhai thought for a while and said, however, some things need to be put into action, and those people in Jinling also want money.

"How about I go to Jinling?"

Li Shaoyi also yearned for the capital of this era, but officials from all over the country could not easily go to Nanjing without being summoned by Nanjing. They had to have a formal reason.

"Mayor Yuan is going to Jinling to report on his work. Would you like to go with him?"

Wang Shuhai remembered this...
