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

Manchu-Han Building

The first thing to do after returning to the capital was to make arrangements for the 72nd Independent Brigade. Each unit had its own commander. In the past, progress was slow because they didn't know what they were responsible for. Now that Li Shaoyi had established the rules, these people quickly got to work.

The second thing was to explain to the 29th Army that they now had an independent brigade, and that they would be recruiting soldiers on a large scale. In the end, they might have an army of nearly 30,000 people. This was a huge threat to the 29th Army. If they didn't make it clear in advance, the two sides would have started fighting before the Japanese arrived.

So after finishing his work there, Li Shaoyi immediately booked a table at Manhan Building to entertain Tian Hongda, the liaison director of the 29th Army.

"Commander Li, this trip to Jinling has been quite fruitful. Last time, we were on the same level, but now I have to salute Commander Li."

The 29th Army has been paying close attention to what happened to Li Shaoyi, but Nanjing is too far away to reach them. Even if they want to do something, their influence will not be enough.

According to the intelligence gathered by his men, Li Shaoyi not only expanded his own independent brigade, but also began to expand the security groups in various counties. If all of them were recruited, they would become the second largest force in Peiping, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they would far surpass the 29th Army.

Therefore, the top leaders of the 29th Army were shocked. Even if Li Shaoyi did not look for Director Tian today, the 29th Army would probably make an appointment with Li Shaoyi. If the talks did not go well, they would do whatever it took to obstruct Li Shaoyi's development.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you talking about? Military ranks and other things are just external things. We should still be brothers. I specially asked them to save the deer legs. Let's eat and talk while we eat. Let's get some white meat hotpot and drink first."

Li Shaoyi took Director Tian's coat with a smile. The 29th Army is an anti-Japanese force. We treat them differently from the Japanese. If the Japanese are not satisfied, I will slap them. If they are not satisfied, I will continue to slap them until they are satisfied.

But the 29th Army was different. If the problem could be solved peacefully, it must be solved peacefully. If it really came to the point of resorting to force, Li Shaoyi would at most take his brothers north and fight for territory on his own. He would never clash with the 29th Army. What happened to his brother Yan Qiang would never happen to him.

Seeing Li Shaoyi's attitude, Director Tian felt a little relieved.

If Li Shaoyi was arrogant, then it would be in vain for him to speak to Li Shaoyi.

During this period, two groups within the 29th Army were arguing fiercely. One group felt that they should have a good talk with Li Shaoyi, while the other group was ready to resort to force.

Fortunately, the argument has not yet come to a conclusion. If the two sides had started fighting, it would have been a matter of great sorrow to the loved ones and joy to the enemies. So when Director Tian heard that Li Shaoyi wanted to have dinner with him after he came back, he dropped everything he was doing and rushed over.

"This first glass of wine is to congratulate my brother on becoming a major general brigadier general."

Director Tian picked up his glass first, and Li Shaoyi, without any hesitation, clinked glasses with Director Tian, ​​and both of them drank it in one gulp.

"Before we drink this second glass of wine, I have to ask you, brother. You have such a strong team under you. Are you planning to develop in Peking in the future, or do you have other ideas?"

Since this concerned his own living space, Director Tian couldn't wait long. He had been sitting down for less than five minutes when he got straight to the point.

"I know what Brother Tian and the 29th Army's leaders are thinking. If I don't tell you this quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night. Don't worry, I will only develop in the areas occupied by the Japanese and will never go to your 29th Army's area. The original agreement is still valid. Aside from the existing Peking police station, I will not enter any other areas of Peking."

Li Shaoyi was the first to make a guarantee, and Director Tian felt even more relieved.

"That's just unfounded!"

Director Tian was worried. After all, Li Shaoyi was no longer a police chief, but a powerful local lord.

"Tomorrow, the 72nd Brigade will make an announcement. They will only be responsible for matters within their current jurisdiction. The rest of the area will remain as is and will be under the leadership of the North China Branch of the Military Commission."

Commander Song of the 29th Army is the chairman of the North China branch. It is not easy for Li Shaoyi to say this. After all, you did not give any help to him during his rise.

"Brother, now I know what you mean. If I say if, someone from our 29th Army has a conflict with you, I hope you can put the overall situation first."

During this period, due to the rise of Li Shaoyi, some hardliners also appeared within the 29th Army. Li Shaoyi didn't know what to say to these people. You were not tough on the Japanese when you should have been, but instead used this toughness on me. If I hadn't seen that you had fought against the Japanese in the past, I would never have been able to swallow this humiliation.

"Of course. Besides that, I will also donate 3,000 rifles, 200 pistols, and 1 million rounds of ammunition to the 29th Army."

When Li Shaoyi spoke, it was as simple as inviting you for a drink. Director Tian was frightened when he heard it. This was a huge sum of money. If the 29th Army were asked to buy it themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to afford it even if they sold it by weight.

"You always find an opportunity to shut me up. With this statement and this batch of arms, I think everything will be fine. But you still have to be honest with me. What's your purpose in expanding the team so much?"

Director Tian knew that he asked too many questions. If it were someone else, they would probably send him away. However, since it concerned the lives of tens of thousands of brothers in the 29th Army, even if he knew he was being unreasonable, he had to bite the bullet and continue asking.

"Chahar Rehe."

Li Shaoyi dipped his finger in the wine in the glass and wrote these words on the table.

"Then I wish you great success. If you really want to go north, North China will be your logistics base."

Director Tian immediately picked up the wine glass in his hand. He had long known that Li Shaoyi was not a quiet person. Based on his previous performance, he would definitely take action against the Japanese. But he did not expect that this guy would actually target such a large piece of land.

I thought it might be the Japanese concession in Tianjin, but now it seems that it is far from the case. This guy simply doesn't think highly of that tiny place.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't worry. Before I leave, even if I don't occupy the remaining dozen or so counties in the Jidong Special District, I will kill everyone who needs to be killed and return a clean North China to everyone."

Li Shaoyi said with a sneer, and Director Tian's smile widened...
