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

Li Shaoyi didn't even bother to look at the protests received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If all those things were piled up, they might be taller than himself. Most of them belonged to the Japanese, so he didn't have to worry about having too much debt.

However, this was the first time he had heard of the Russians' protest. Li Shaoyi did not ask in a hurry, but waited for the chief of staff to finish the call slowly. There was no rush anyway.

The party that raises protests in diplomatic work is basically the one that is anxious. We are the party that receives the protest documents, so there is no need to be anxious and we can remain stable.

When the chief of staff hung up the phone, his face was a little anxious, but Li Shaoyi was still in the same posture as before, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, and didn't even ask any more questions. He was really sitting on the Diaoyutai.

"Commander, compared to your calm demeanor, I, as Chief of Staff, am somewhat incompetent. The Russians have protested to us through the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that our military operations in Rehe have caused border turmoil and asked us to establish a neutral zone in the northern part of Rehe."

When the chief of staff said this, there was anger on his face. We can do whatever we want on our own land. It has nothing to do with you. What's more, the north of Rehe is also the territory of the Outer Xiongnu.

Speaking of this place, it is also a pain in the hearts of many Chinese people. Seeing that our national strength is relatively weak, the Russians, dressed in these Hun princes, actually started to seek independence.

During the Beiyang government period, it was once taken back, but later due to domestic unrest, it was unable to take into account the situation in the north, and eventually it became someone else's property.

The Nanjing National Government could not even fully control North China, let alone the areas north of North China. The warlords were busy fighting each other, and they all chose to turn a blind eye to the problems left over from history.

In the past two years, the Russians have become increasingly powerful. Even if some ethnic groups want to take it back, they no longer have the ability to do so.

"Fuck, this is courting death..."

Anger was already showing in Li Shaoyi's eyes. The Japanese are not in my eyes, and neither are you polar bears.

"Commander, we can't be impulsive now. Have you forgotten? The reason we didn't eat the Japanese in Rehe is because the whole frontier wasn't complete yet. Sometimes we have to be patient. Besides, the Russians are quite capable. Back in the northern part of Northeast China, due to railway problems, the Northeast Army fought a battle with them. Even our best troops were badly defeated. You have to know that the enemy wasn't the Russians' best troops."

The chief of staff said anxiously that although Li Shaoyi was shrewd in doing many things, he would act impulsively when it came to matters involving national territory.

Our 72nd Division does not have this condition yet. All units are undergoing large-scale reorganization and training. Although the army of the foreign Huns is not very powerful, if those old Russians really send troops, it will not be good for us.

After listening to the chief of staff's words, Li Shaoyi's temperature gradually cooled down. He was indeed impulsive just now. If he had to fight with two sides at the same time, he would not be able to cope with it now. But if the 72nd Division had been fully trained, Li Shaoyi was really not afraid of them.

"Nanjing's diplomatic department isn't denying the current situation with the Outer Xiongnu, is it? Tell them that we can discuss matters with the princes of the Outer Xiongnu on our own, and they won't have to worry about it. If they want to intervene militarily, my 72nd Division is already worried about having no place to train."

Although Li Shaoyi knew that he could not start a war at this time, he must not show weakness when facing these Russians. If he showed weakness, many things would become difficult to deal with later.

These guys are all bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong. If they meet in your place, they will be quiet for a while, but if you act like a slave, they will immediately start to take advantage of you.

"Should we reconsider this?"

The Chief of Staff is not afraid of death, but he has the entire 72nd Division in his heart. If a fight really breaks out now, we will be even more passive.

At present, the entire division is undergoing reorganization and training, and part of the troops are ready to take back Chahar, which will then be directly adjacent to Outer Mongolia.

"Just do as I say. Arrange an interview for me in Peking. The topic is about the Outer Xiongnu. The main topic of the interview is when to take them back. I am not afraid of offending them."

Li Shaoyi was different from other warlords. He had power in his hands, so he spoke with confidence. Other warlords basically avoided the issue of the foreign Huns, but Li Shaoyi took the initiative to talk about this issue. I'm afraid that it had already become a hot topic before the newspaper was published.

"Isn't this a bit too risky? They've only verbally protested to us through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Organizing such a meeting now might cause us unnecessary trouble. We should keep a low profile and play it safe. Once we're fully armed, if they dare to make a move, we'll crush them immediately."

The chief of staff still felt that the overall situation should be considered. Of course, Li Shaoyi did not blame him. People of this era lived in such an environment. When foreigners came to cause trouble, the first thing they thought of was to stabilize themselves first and not to compete with foreigners. This was not because someone was afraid of death, but that the social environment had been like this for decades. If they wanted to change, they had to do it step by step.

"I understand what you mean, but you have to think about it. What are we lacking most during the reorganization and training?"

Chief of Staff Cui was a little unable to keep up with Li Shaoyi's thoughts.

"A junior officer."

Although he could not keep up with Li Shaoyi's thinking, the chief of staff still spoke freely about what the army lacked.

"Wouldn't it be too late if we trained on our own?"

After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, the chief of staff nodded woodenly, but he didn't understand what the relationship was with our northern neighbors. Could they provide us with grassroots officers?

"The Outer Xiongnu incident is a source of worry for many people, especially those young officers who feel it is a shame every day. That's why I'm announcing this matter so loudly. If you were one of those young officers, would you choose to join me?"

When Li Shaoyi said this, the chief of staff suddenly had an idea. This is really a big deal. We are now desperately short of officers. Some people are just thinking about taking back the outer Xiongnu. When we raise this banner, talented people from all over the world will come to join us...
