If Li Shaoyi had not talked to Wu Zhenkui, he would definitely be dissatisfied. An independent brigade has only 5,000 people, and I wish a regiment had 5,000 people.

If we only need to guard these six counties, then these 5,000 people are enough, and we can cooperate with the security groups in each county. But the problem is that it is already a certain year, and a full-scale war is about to begin. Even if we can get rid of the Japanese, we must seize this opportunity to make Longguo go further.

On the European battlefield, there were often fierce battles involving millions of people. If a small number of us were to go in, we probably wouldn't even be able to blow up a bubble.

But now Wu Zhenkui told Li Shaoyi that there are some things you cannot resist. Although the superiors have given you an independent brigade, you must report it immediately after returning and ask for approval of another independent battalion, or a cavalry company or something. Anyway, as long as the relationships are in place, any small-scale increase in troops can be approved. But if you want to directly turn two regiments into three regiments, it will be difficult.

"I think our anti-Japanese hero is a little dissatisfied."

Commander Wu said with a smile.

"Satisfied, satisfied, how could I not be satisfied? You've already said it, sir, how could I not be satisfied?"

When Li Shaoyi was thinking about things just now, there was indeed no smile on his face. In Deputy Minister Wu's mind, Li Shaoyi's development was already very fast. Now he was given an independent brigade to integrate the people under his command. In addition to this independent brigade and the security corps of various counties, this was also a strong force, and it almost became the second largest force in North China.

"Regarding the 29th Army, you must establish good relations with them and establish you. They are fighting against the Japanese, not letting you fight a civil war. The 29th Army has a very serious territorial mentality. There is no other way in Nanjing. After returning to the north, you must establish good relations with them."

Deputy Minister Wu had to give a few more warnings, telling Li Shaoyi not to go back and fight with the 29th Army. This was not what Nanjing wanted to see. Japan was being aggressive in North China, and Nanjing had long wanted to find someone to fight against them. Unfortunately, the 29th Army was relatively weak and could not be helped at all. Li Shaoyi was a very good candidate.

"Please rest assured, sir. No matter how ignorant I am, I will never have any conflict with the 29th Army for the sake of the Great Wall War."

Seeing Li Shaoyi's attitude, Deputy Minister Wu was very satisfied.

Some people completely forget their original intentions after gaining power and troops. Li Shaoyi kept talking about resisting Japan. It seems that being an official is not the goal, and resisting Japan is the ultimate goal.

"The 29th Army had a relatively easy time in Peking, but it's having a hard time in Tianjin. Because of the autonomous government, the 29th Army was split into two parts, and the front and back couldn't support each other. Now that you've occupied six counties under the autonomous government, you should think of a way to use this. If you can open a channel and allow the two parts of the 29th Army to unite, they'll remember your kindness."

Deputy Minister Wu knew that Li Shaoyi didn't understand much about this. As the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, there was no need for him to tell Li Shaoyi this specifically. However, from the time Li Shaoyi came in until now, Deputy Minister Wu liked this guy very much, so he told him what he should and shouldn't say, and tried his best to help him avoid detours.

"It's not difficult to open a passage, but the problem is that my Jidong District has no connection with Tianjin. We can't just send people to Tianjin without thinking, right?"

After listening to what the deputy director said, Li Shaoyi's eyes immediately turned and he began to think about the next organization.

"You're really just climbing up the ladder. The situation in Tianjin is even more complicated than in Peking. Besides the 29th Army, every country has troops stationed in Tianjin. Zizhulin is practically a world of international football. Besides, there are also some small warlords from all over the place. If you want to go to Tianjin, you'd better follow your old path and start from the police station."

Deputy Minister Wu thought about it and felt that it was not convenient for Nanjing to step forward. If Nanjing gave Li Shaoyi a number in Tianjin, it would be like throwing a stone into a calm lake. Although the Nanjing National Government was willing to see such a situation, it was also afraid that all forces would point their spearheads at itself, which would make it even more difficult to reach into Tianjin.

"Ah? This, this..."

Li Shaoyi looked embarrassed, but still wanted to ask Deputy Minister Wu for help.

"You're relying on me, kid. I have other things to do today. You'll be in Jinling for a while anyway, so don't worry. Let me think about it. I'll have Zhenkui contact you later."

The time came quickly. Every appointment of Deputy Director Wu was very important. If it was delayed, all the people on that day would be delayed. Li Shaoyi had finished all the main things. Although Deputy Director Wu liked chatting with Li Shaoyi very much, there were still many people to work with.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Shaoyi also quickly put on his hat, thanked him repeatedly, and prepared to go out.

"Wait a minute, won't you give me a few of those jeeps your men have?"

People who came back from Peiping reported that Li Shaoyi's men used a kind of vehicle that had never been seen before, with a machine gun welded on it. The combat effectiveness was amazing and ordinary people could not stop it at all. Li Shaoyi had defeated the Japanese several times using this tactic.

"I'll order someone to start shipping from Peking right away. It should be here in a few days."

Don't be afraid that the people above you won't speak up. As long as they speak up, you have to find a way to repay the favor.

"I don't owe you any favors. How much is it? Go to the Finance Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs to get reimbursed. I know this car shouldn't be cheap."

Li Shaoyi was just making a good plan when Commander Wu crushed it with one kick.

"What are you talking about? This is all my gift to you, old man. How can I ask for money? Don't worry, even the machine guns are welded and assembled for you."

Li Shaoyi quickly ran away. How much were these cars worth? Even a newly imported sedan would only cost three or four thousand dollars each. If you add the machine guns, it would be over five thousand dollars at most. What's the point of having this money? How much is a favor from the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs worth?

Watching Li Shaoyi running out, Director Wu also laughed beside him. What a smart boy, he knows how to suffer losses, but he has bigger ambitions. Not bad, not bad.

"This friend you made this time is pretty good. Look at your previous friends. Is there anyone who does serious work? Make more friends like them in the future. They will help you improve as well."

When he saw Wu Zhenkui coming in, Deputy Director Wu knew that the next person was about to arrive, but he planned to take five minutes to clear his mind.

"Sir, you're right, but I just received news that the Executive Yuan is planning to implement the separation of military and political power in Jidong..."
