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

The National Government considered for a long time the person to talk to Li Shaoyi, and finally chose Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.

The two had a friendship before. The last time Li Shaoyi came to Jinling, he had a conflict with Jia Jinlong. Deputy Minister Wu also openly stated that he was a person who had done Li Shaoyi a favor, so it was extremely appropriate to let Deputy Minister Wu be the person to talk to.

The Jinling National Government also studied Li Shaoyi's character for a while. His character was that if you respect me one foot, I will respect you ten feet. If it were someone else, they might not get face in his eyes. He even dared to offend Minister Jia's eldest son. All the qualifications of others were useless.

Deputy Minister Wu is different. He is definitely qualified in terms of official position and has a good personal relationship with Li Shaoyi. It is just right for him to persuade Li Shaoyi with kind words and put out the war in the north this time.

"Didn't you say you couldn't come a few days ago? Why are you rushing over now?"

When Deputy Minister Wu saw Li Shaoyi, he was very happy. He thought that this was the image that a soldier of the Party and the country should have, especially when facing foreigners, they should stand up straight.

"To be honest, I'm going to be promoted to division commander, how can I not come?"

Li Shaoyi made Vice Minister Wu laugh with just one sentence. Even if others knew the reason, they would never say it out loud. If they did, they would say something like "national affairs are more important". But Li Shaoyi was different. He believed in seeking truth from facts, but he was a little too pragmatic.

"We're all acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. Your divisional commander is fine, but the Nationalist government doesn't support you fighting on such a large scale in the north. I know you've been winning battles lately, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you were defeated?"

Vice Minister Wu also became serious.

To be honest, Li Shaoyi had really thought about this problem, but after many war game simulations, unless there was a major mistake on his side, or the system suddenly malfunctioned, even if the Japanese assembled several divisions, we have the ability to deal with it.

"The existing situation in the north has been destroyed, and our 72nd Brigade has been completely annihilated."

Deputy Minister Wu nodded in agreement at Li Shaoyi's words. This showed that he was not carried away by victory and knew the price of failure. If it were other young military officers, they would not care about this at all and would just fight.

"Not only that, the Japs have suffered at your hands. If they reoccupy Rehe, the people there will suffer."

What Deputy Minister Wu said was true. Even if Li Shaoyi was defeated, the Japanese suffered a great loss at his hands, and their anger would definitely be directed at the common people.

"The Japanese peace negotiators have come to Nanjing?"

Li Shaoyi did not continue with what Deputy Minister Wu said, but guessed another possibility. The Japanese also wanted to contact Li Shaoyi, but were all turned away. He did not expect that these guys also knew military tactics.

Since there is no way out from Li Shaoyi, then I will go to Jinling to think of a solution. Perhaps this is the real reason why Jinling called me here.

"I know you're unwilling to give up, and I also know that the current situation in Chengde is favorable to you, but you need to analyze this carefully. The Japanese have mobilized over 100,000 troops this time. This is their largest military operation since the First Sino-Japanese War. Can your troops withstand it? Are your weapons supply channels safe?"

Deputy Minister Wu said earnestly that he was also thinking about Li Shaoyi. He didn't know Li Shaoyi's trump card. According to normal reasoning, Li Shaoyi would definitely not be able to hold on. These were several field divisions.

"What are the conditions they offer?"

Li Shaoyi handed Vice Minister Wu a cigarette and then lit it for him.

"Withdraw your troops to North China and maintain the status quo. The Japanese will not send troops south."

In addition to these points, there is also a public apology, but those are matters of the Jinling Foreign Affairs Department and have nothing to do with Li Shaoyi, so Deputy Minister Wu did not mention them to provoke Li Shaoyi.

"Besides all this, the Japanese should have also said that if I disagree, they will seek an opportunity to attack our coastal areas, even including Pujiang, and even launch a full-scale war, right?"

After Li Shaoyi said this, Deputy Minister Wu's face was full of shock, as if Li Shaoyi was present when the Japanese foreign affairs officials came to negotiate. Although what he said was not so accurate, it was almost right.

"how do you know?"

After Deputy Minister Wu said this, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He could only smile bitterly and shook his head. In front of this guy Li Shaoyi, it seemed that his past experience was of little use.

"This is all just the same old Japanese rhetoric. Commander Wu, put yourself in their shoes. If the Japanese could truly defeat me, would they have come all the way to Nanjing? If they truly had the capability to wage a full-scale war, would they still be threatening us?"

Li Shaoyi said disdainfully that the Japanese had barely made preparations for war when the war broke out in 1937. If a war broke out now, it would still take more than a year, so there was no way he could be prepared.

For a long time, the Japanese used information asymmetry to blackmail our country's senior officials, and without going to war, they advanced step by step from the Northeast to North China.

Now he wants to repeat the same trick and let Nanjing put pressure on Li Shaoyi to force Li Shaoyi's army to withdraw from Rehe Province.

How could this be possible? Li Shaoyi had just been appointed provincial governor, and the situation wasn't even warm yet. Was he going to ask me to resign? Or perhaps become governor of Rehe Province in Hebei?

Others can do this, but we brothers can't afford to lose face!

Deputy Minister Wu was also enlightened at this moment, and he instantly understood everything. The Japanese simply did not have that kind of strength. If they had that kind of strength, they would have killed Li Shaoyi in the north long ago. Why resort to such threats? Everyone was well-versed in military books, but the long-term weakness of the Dragon Kingdom made them less comprehensive when considering these issues.

"Even if Jinling rejects them, can you really stop these divisions?"

Deputy Minister Wu temporarily believed what Li Shaoyi said, but if the Central Army wanted to resist the combat effectiveness of these field divisions, it would have to mobilize at least 40 infantry divisions, or even more, and in this case it might not be able to stop them.

"Who said I'm going to resist them?"

Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Deputy Minister Wu's face was full of joy. Could it be that this guy has another way? Just say that this guy is very cunning and will not do it by force.

"I want to annihilate them."

"puff……"

Deputy Minister Wu's tea spurted out. "Aren't you afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind?" "Four divisions and one garrison division, you want to annihilate them? Why don't you just fly to the sky?"
