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

Peking 72nd Division Office

The office, located on a busy street in the capital, was originally the office building of the Japanese Miyamoto Trading Company. It has four floors with nearly seventy rooms. Now the first and second floors are rented out, and the third and fourth floors are the offices of the 72nd Division.

This was the first time that Li Shaoyi followed the Chief of Staff into the Peking Office. Originally, when they returned to Peking, they would go to the Railway Station Police Station. After all, the Railway Station Police Station building there was well renovated, and it was our base.

"This is Ma Hua, the new deputy chief of the Beiping Police Department. He's in charge of all the police stations around Beiping. He started out as a patrolman, following one of our veterans."

When entering the office, the chief of staff introduced Li Shaoyi to a young man with a short flat head. Li Shaoyi took a look at him with his favorability index and found him to be dark green and suitable.

"Master's seat."

Although the young man was wearing police uniform, this standard salute would be the best in any army.

Li Shaoyi then remembered that Zhang Maozi had already become the brigade commander of the 4th Security Brigade, and was about to organize his own army to march into Chahar. It was indeed time to replace the chief of the Peking Police Station.

"I started out as a police captain at the railway station. I wish you could lead a division of troops for me someday. What's the current situation at the Peking Police Station?"

Although Li Shaoyi rarely returned to Peiping, there were many rooms in the office, so an office was reserved for Li Shaoyi, and it was the office with the best sunlight.

The area is over 50 square meters, which is very spacious.

Standing at the window next to it, you can see half of Peking. After all, there are not many high-rise buildings in Peking. Compared with Pujiang, there are more Qing Dynasty buildings here.

"Reporting to the division commander, due to the agreement you signed with the commander of the 29th Army, our forces within the Beiping Police Station have been strictly restricted. However, we have established security teams and village protection teams in the surrounding villages and towns. Currently, the Beiping Police Station has 3,000 to 4,000 personnel, which will not cause any delays."

Ma Hua said excitedly that this was the first time he had reported to Li Shaoyi. You know, Li Shaoyi is now the commander of the 72nd Division, the chairman of Rehe Province, the commissioner of Jidong Special District, and the vice governor of Hebei Province.

"You're doing well. I remember when Zhang Maozi was here, he could only mobilize one or two thousand people, but you can mobilize three or four thousand people here. The scale is much larger than his time. Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Li Shaoyi said with great satisfaction, "The Peking Police Station is where we started. The 29th Army doesn't let us develop in the front, so we will develop in secret. Now we are not afraid of his various threats. If you really don't listen, I will send you away from Peking and Tianjin with courtesy, and I will defend North China by myself."

"When Commander Zhang was here, social conditions weren't that good. Now that our 72nd Division has won a victory, as soon as people hear we're the ones forming the security team, they're all scrambling to join."

MCA dare not take the credit for itself.

The political environment during the period when Zhang Maozi was in power was different from the one he is in now, which also had a great impact.

He has made great contributions but is not greedy for credit. He is indeed a good guy.

"This young man is quite good. We have many people within our company who are worthy of promotion."

After Li Shaoyi finished chatting with the young man, he also went to the chief of staff's office. It was a little smaller than his own, but there was a lot of information in it. The chief of staff has always been the role of a steward, and he has to get involved in both military and civil affairs.

"This young man is also a miserable person. He was born and raised in Beijing. He is a descendant of the Eight Banners. If it were the Qing Dynasty, he would not have needed to make a living. But he is the only one left in the family. Later, his family took care of him and he married a wife. But who knew that his wife would be raped by those guys in the Railway Military Police. Now when he talks about the Japanese, he is more cruel than anyone else."

The Chief of Staff knew a lot about the situation of the Malaysian Chinese. After listening to him, the smile on Li Shaoyi's face disappeared. In that era, the persecution of us by the Japanese was everywhere.

"Keep him in Peking for a while. There are plenty of vacancies down there anyway. Let this guy take up a position outside. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight the Japanese."

After Chahar Province was taken over, various security groups would come forward. It would be a waste to keep such a talent in the Peking Police Station. If he went out, he would have to be the commander of a security brigade.

"I'm worried about this. Regarding Chahar Province, I've heard from Director Li in Jinling that the Jinling Nationalist Government won't let us arrange for everyone, especially those from the government. They've already appointed nearly seventy people, including more than twenty county heads."

The situation in Rehe was rather special, and the Nanjing National Government had not yet responded, so most of the officials were directly appointed by us, and we only asked Nanjing for some consultants and the like.

But the situation in Chahar was different. When Li Shaoyi and the Japanese stopped their attacks at the same time, the Nanjing National Government had already hinted that if Chahar Province still wanted to be brought under the management of Nanjing, it would have to send a group of officials from Nanjing.

"More than 20 county heads? These guys are really audacious! Send a telegram to Li Sibei and tell them to only give them five county heads and five deputy county heads, and they can't serve in the same county. Also, I require an assessment every three months. If anyone fails the assessment, no matter whose connections they have, get out."

Li Shaoyi was very appreciative of the officers who came from the Nanjing National Government. These people were basically marginalized internally and had no positions for them in the Central Army, so they could only come to the north.

However, Li Shaoyi looked down upon all the officials who came from the Nanjing National Government. He spent an unknown amount of money to buy the position of county magistrate, so he was thinking about making money from the moment he took office. Several of the consultants who had come before were shot by Li Shaoyi.

If these county governors dare to take action this time, I'm sorry, but I'm going to cut off your arms at the root.

"We have to take a firm stance. If we let them start this, they'll just benefit from our war."

Chief of Staff Cui had no objection to this.

Just as the chief of staff was about to speak, the phone on the table rang.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' protest? The Russians are asking us to withdraw our troops?"

Listening to the Chief of Staff's words, Li Shaoyi also knew what was going on...
