"This is a big expense for you, brother. None of the poor people under my command are up to par with the real people."

Xie Laomao smiled and said that he didn't often invite his subordinates to dinner, but now that he had such an opportunity, he was happy to do a favor. When he met his team leaders later, he would take the credit for himself.

Li Shaoyi knew what was going on from his expression, but he didn't say anything. This time they were just getting to know each other. If there was someone who could develop a relationship, he would probably be sidelined the next time they met.

Some people have money, guns and connections!

Just because you're a guy who plays cards and smokes opium every day, isn't it easy to undermine you?

"Is that military camp over there the 29th Army?"

Li Shaoyi pointed to a military camp on the west side and said that among the regular troops in Peiping, the 29th Army should account for more than 90%, and the rest were some militia security brigades and the like.

"That's the base of the 3rd Battalion of the 29th Army. Their mission is to keep an eye on the Japanese military police. However, if there really were a conflict, these guys wouldn't dare to force their way in. They usually keep their hands and feet restrained, fearing any friction."

What Mr. Xie said is also true. In fact, our military strength in North China is not weak, but our overall national strength is too weak and the government is too weak. Once something happens, the first people to be dealt with will be our people.

No matter how passionate a person is, if he is wronged every time, his heart will gradually cool down.

Li Shaoyi knew that most of the people in the 29th Army were anti-Japanese and were brave. He had mortars and mountain cannons in his system, but unfortunately there was no one who could tinker with them. Otherwise, he would have to communicate with the 29th Army. Although it was not good to dig into the 29th Army's walls, after all, they would be the main force in the future anti-Japanese war, but if the artillery was really formed, wouldn't it be just a matter of a word to provide support?

Xie Laomao didn't know what Li Shaoyi was thinking, so he didn't waste any more time talking to Li Shaoyi. They made an appointment for dinner in the evening and went to the small room next door to enjoy the two big bubbles of opium. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't smoke for a while.

"Is Captain Li here?"

Li Shaoyi was just about to take a look at the documents when he found out there were several people at the door. These people were all merchants near the train station. They had heard that the captain of the security squadron was in trouble, so why didn't they hurry up to identify the place?

It took Li Shaoyi nearly half an hour to send all these people away, and the gifts piled up like a mountain.

“The area around this train station is quite affluent.”

Li Shaoyi looked at the gifts and rummaged through them, finding some valuable items inside.

"The train station is bustling with people. No matter what kind of business you do around it, it's much better than downtown!"

The young man who was speaking was Zhou Peng. Li Shaoyi saw that he was smart, so he made him a orderly by his side.

"Don't bother with this for now. Go to Taoran Ju and book a table. Invite our team leader and the team leader from Captain Xie's team to come over tonight to bond."

Zhou Peng put down the work in his hands and went out to book a restaurant. Li Shaoyi waved his hand and all the gifts entered his own space.

When the things went in, Li Shaoyi immediately noticed something different, because some of these gifts were silk, some were cigarettes, and some were jade, but after entering the storage space, they all immediately turned into a viscous liquid and solidified together. Li Shaoyi had never seen anything like this before.

Just now, these gifts outside had to occupy at least two or three cubic meters of space, but after entering the storage space, all the gifts were condensed into three cubic decimeters.

This discovery made Li Shaoyi very happy. He originally thought that ten cubic meters of space was too small, but now if converted, it can be expanded almost a thousand times.

And when all the things are put in, a list will be given to you next to it, which is concise and clear, and the prices are also marked, of course it is not that accurate.

When Li Shaoyi wants to take something out, he just needs to look at the list and think about it, and it will immediately appear next to him. This is much more convenient than the storage space of other novel protagonists and should be considered an upgraded version.

A few hours later, the team leaders of the two squadrons arrived. Xie Laomao introduced everyone to them, and the team leader on his side was intimidated as soon as he came up.

What kind of clothes do the people in Li Shaoyi's squadron wear? We came to eat today and dressed up a little, but compared to their clothes, we are not even as good as beggars.

Xie Laomao racked his brains but couldn't figure out which police officer in Beijing wore this.

The coat and leather boots on this team leader are more stylish than mine. So what's the point of being the squadron leader?

Fortunately, everyone was a familiar figure, and Li Shaoyi did not allow his men to show off. The food came up in a short while, and as soon as the wine started, all kinds of topics came up.

It was some pretty girl from the Eight Great Hutongs and it was the secret door near the train station. Anyway, there was nothing they didn’t know.

Li Shaoyi's team leaders have been told that they are not here to drink today, so they should take it easy and see if there is anyone on the other side who is a serious person. If there is, Li Shaoyi is ready to help that guy up.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, many people started playing finger-guessing games with their bare chests. Li Shaoyi still found it a little hard to accept this, but that was the situation in that era.

"Brother Yi, Song Xulong from Team 6 is quite the man. He used to be the deputy squadron leader. When some Japanese ate without paying, he led his men to detain them. In the end, not only was he forced by his superiors to apologize to the Japanese, but he also lost his position. Now he's just an ordinary patrolman. The Japanese slapped him six times in the face on the street. That's the one over there."

When they were halfway through drinking, Tang Guoping brought out a man. This man was not qualified to come, but because he could drive, he was driving for Xie Laomao today. At this moment, he was sitting by the window with a dull look in his eyes.

It’s normal to think about it. He was originally a young man full of vigor and vitality, but was forced into this state by this society.

At that time, the Japanese threatened him with his family. For the sake of his family's life, this guy could only bow his head and apologize. Unexpectedly, the Japanese still slapped him six times in front of people on the street and finally spat in his face.

Since then, this guy has become like this. He has never smiled. Whenever he passes by the Japanese military camp, he is always calculating something in his mind...
