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

"We pay them per person. We'll give them two months' salary first, and then another month's salary after they arrive here."

Li Shaoyi thought for a while and said, you can’t give too much, nor too little, this number is just right.

"Sir, the Ministry of Military Affairs has ordered the 26th Regiment of the 19th Route Army to march north and will be under your command along with the other units."

When Li Shaoyi was discussing things with Hu Dezhuo, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had already issued an order, and all the warlords had expressed their opinions. If the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs still did not express its opinion, they would be too passive.

The newspapers in Nanjing and Pujiang haven't been published yet, but the Ministry of Military Affairs has already sent an infantry regiment north. After the newspapers are published, if we win two more battles, the situation will be completely different.

"You should hurry up and take care of this matter. The 19th Route Army was also a former anti-Japanese force. Keep in touch with them. After arriving in the north, find them a place to stay and prepare all the necessary supplies. You can't let our brothers down."

Li Shaoyi did not expect such a great effect. He has now taken over three infantry regiments.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the Pujiang Shipping Chamber of Commerce donated four million yuan.

The Jinling Education Federation donated one million yuan.

The Pujiang banking community donated 1.3 million yuan.

The Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce donated one million yuan.

The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce donated one million yuan.

The Shanxi Merchants Alliance donated 500,000 oceans.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army dispatched the 52nd Infantry Regiment.

…………

"We've become rich, truly rich! I didn't expect that after the Jinling and Pujiang newspapers came out yesterday, donations from all over the country poured in for us. The total amount of donations we've received has now exceeded 21.5 million yuan. In addition to the three infantry regiments sent yesterday, a total of six infantry regiments will be coming to us."

There was still eye boogers hanging from the corners of Li Shaoyi's eyes. The chief of staff had already summarized all these things. When everyone saw the news, their eyes were wet. Who said that we are fighting alone? The men, young and old, from all over the country are following us from behind.

"Put an article in the newspaper for me thanking all those who donated money and sent troops. Be sure to thank them individually, don't lump them all together and ask the Secretariat to come up with different language."

Li Shaoyi was a person who came from modern society. Of course, he knew that thanking people by name in the newspaper would make these people feel very gratified. Otherwise, if so much money was spent and there was no response, these people would certainly not be happy.

This is just like live streaming in the 21st century. If you send out a big rocket and the host is indifferent to you, will you still care about him next time?

"We must hold steady. People across the country are praising us to the skies, but we still have to slowly get on with the work we need to do. Yesterday, a nationwide announcement was sent out, announcing that all 22 counties under the autonomous government will be under our rule. Today, I've already arranged for troops to occupy them. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

The chief of staff knocked lightly on the table. After all, he was old, so he was not like Li Shaoyi and others who got excited easily.

"The Chief of Staff is right. We must improve the training of the entire army. We have a good reputation now, and we must not let it slip away. We will set up a security headquarters to specifically manage these security and garrison regiments. I will be the security commander, and you will be the deputy commander. Transfer Ma Leizi here as deputy commander as well. He will be in charge of the security regiment from now on."

Li Shaoyi's words determined Ma Leizi's fate. This guy was brave but not very smart. It was not suitable for him to stay in the regular army and serve as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion. But if he became the deputy commander of security, there should be no problem. Of course, he had to be taken with him when he went out.

The security corps is also the place where corruption is most likely to breed. After all, they are different from regular troops and have more opportunities to be corrupted. Ma Leizi is a guy who has a clear distinction between love and hate. Although his brain is not very good, he will carry out the orders issued by Li Shaoyi 100% without any compromise. Letting him be in charge of the security corps will not lead to deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates.

Chief of Staff Cui also understood that although our business was so big, Li Shaoyi still trusted the old brothers who had helped him start the business. Of course, these old brothers were also good at their work.

"There must be some gap between the weapons and equipment of the security team and the regular army, right?"

The chief of staff suddenly remembered another thing. After all, the security corps is our second-line force. Now there is no difference in weapons and equipment between them and the regular army. In the future, the number of security corps will increase, and almost every county will establish a security corps.

"The security corps' weapons are poor because they lack guns and artillery. We don't lack these things, so we can just make them the same as the regular army. We just don't give them 105mm howitzers, and we only need 100mm mortars. The rest of the light weapons are the same. We can reduce their salaries by one dollar, and provide them with qualified training, and give them 80% of the regular army's data."

Li Shaoyi briefly talked about the security team and it was basically settled.

"Let Huang Peng help Ma Leizi. He's a capable guy. As for the rest of the personnel, transfer them to the regular army. I'm talking about Zhang Haiguang and Zhao Jiasheng. They're a bit underutilized in the security corps. Transfer them to the regular army and let them serve as battalion commanders first to gain experience."

Li Shaoyi also made some adjustments to his subordinates, and the team began to expand slowly. Those who deserved to be promoted were promoted. These people had the ability to be commanders of regular army corps. It was a waste of their talents to ask them to be the commander of a security corps. Huang Peng's position during this period was also temporary. When Ma Leizi was able to fully control the security corps, Huang Peng would have to be transferred back to the regular army. Officers were hard to come by at that time.

"No problem, I'll send the transfer order immediately. Also, Zhao Tiezhu just called, and I didn't disturb you because you were writing your materials. That old devil Yamamoto is just as we predicted. He's already found an intermediary to negotiate with Zhao Tiezhu, hoping our troops can stay away from Tianjin. Zhao Tiezhu's asking price is six million dollars."

Zhao Tiezhu's Third Regiment had always been in the north of the Zizhulin Concession, conducting drills every morning and evening. This made the foreigners in the concession very uncomfortable, so they began to suppress the Japanese. All the pressure from the Japanese was concentrated on Commander Yamamoto, so this guy had no choice but to find someone to discuss with Zhao Tiezhu.

"Yamamoto agreed?"

Li Shaoyi was a little confused by the chaotic situation before him. We were both fighting and negotiating with the Japanese. What was going on?
