Li Shaoyi really had no time to rest. The envoys of various countries knew that Li Shaoyi would not stay in Nanjing for long, and no one would rush to the north to meet with Li Shaoyi, so in the remaining time, Li Shaoyi had to meet with the envoys of various countries without stopping.

Of course, this is also a very pleasant process, because all countries dislike Luosha. If Li Shaoyi really goes to war with them, they have to support him openly or secretly. No one has confronted Luosha head-on for a long time. Now a general suddenly appears. How can they not support him?

It was ten o'clock that evening when Li Shaoyi finished meeting with the ministers. When he returned to the 72nd Division Office, he was so tired that he didn't want to move.

"Soak your feet and take a break."

Li Shaoyi almost fell asleep on the sofa. Suddenly, he saw someone bringing a basin of water for washing feet. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Sibei squatting in front of him.

"Come on, come on, Miss, this isn't your turn. If word gets out, I'll have someone slaughter me tomorrow and sell my meat. There's no telling how many people in the entire Jinling City would be eager to wash your feet, and you're still here to get me some footbath water."

There are service staff in the office. Li Shaoyi looked towards the door but didn't find anyone. Usually there were people coming and going here, but they were probably driven away by Li Sibei.

"What's the matter? Aren't you tired after a long day? Don't be fooled by the appearance of those foreign ministers. They are all very cunning."

On the way back just now, Li Sibei wanted to know the result of the meeting with Li Shaoyi, but Li Shaoyi fell asleep after getting in the car, so she never asked.

"No matter how cunning they are, as long as we really start a war with the Russians, these people's wallets will have to be opened. Remember this, from now on, ask them for money regularly every month. The Junkers are the most generous, giving 500,000 in goods and 500,000 in money. The people of the Gallic Empire are the most stingy, only 300,000 taels. The Windsor Empire and the United States are the same, both 500,000."

Li Shaoyi pointed to the briefcase beside him and said, Li Sibei couldn't believe her ears, the war hasn't started yet, it's just to create a tense atmosphere, has Li Shaoyi already earned so much?

Two million three hundred thousand dollars every month, of which five hundred thousand are goods, and the rest are all cash.

Li Sibei felt that her brain was not enough. All the warlords in the country had the support of foreigners, but if they wanted to expect those foreigners to pay real money, they would have to sign some agreements. However, Li Shaoyi didn't write a single word the whole day, and it was obvious that he didn't meet their conditions.

This is two million three hundred thousand dollars a month. They have always been blackmailing us. When have we ever seen us blackmailing them?

"My dear brother, how on earth did you do it?"

After Li Sibei opened the briefcase, she found some letters of intent inside, but there were no signatures on them. Li Shaoyi did not take them with him when he left. These things must have been given by the ministers of various countries, and of course they had not been finalized yet.

"That's how it was done. When two ideologies collide worldwide, someone needs to do the work for them. I'm not working for nothing. The money they gave me is the cost of our troops' departure. When the real fight breaks out, we'll have to bleed them hard."

Li Shaoyi sneered and said, it is natural for all countries to dislike Russia. Don't expect me to work for you with this little money. When the war really breaks out, you will have to support us now just like you supported the White Bandit Army in the past.

And because we are at war with the Russians, if there is a conflict with the Japanese at home, these Western powers can fight for us. Why not do it?

In addition to the negotiations on paper, the representatives of the United States have already proposed today that if Li Shaoyi really fights with the Russians on the land of the Outer Xiongnu, the Japanese can rest assured that the representatives of the United States will talk to them and will never allow them to cut off Li Shaoyi's retreat.

"Can we really believe what those foreign devils say?"

After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, Li Sibei said with some disbelief.

She peeled an orange for Li Shaoyi, but Li Shaoyi had just washed his feet. Li Sibei sat next to Li Shaoyi and fed him half an orange. Her finger accidentally touched Li Shaoyi's cheek, which was really slippery.

"If we could believe what the foreigners say, even sows would climb trees..."

Li Shaoyi's words made Li Sibei laugh so hard that she almost lay on Li Shaoyi's body. Fortunately, she had finished washing her feet by then, otherwise if someone came in later, she would have no idea what to do.

"Let's not talk about it today. Go back and have a rest."

Li Shaoyi was really unable to cope with it. Of course, the main reason was that he was too tired today. If he was full of energy today, he couldn't say what the result would be. From noon until now, he has been meeting with these old foxes. His nerves were tense and he dared not relax at all, for fear of being cheated by them.

"I know. I'm not a tiger. I can't eat you..."

Li Sibei made a face and took Li Shaoyi's dirty clothes out.

Now Li Shaoyi is the face of the 72nd Division. He must be neat and tidy and change into new clothes every day. If he goes out wearing yesterday's clothes, it means that their office has failed in its duty.

Li Shaoyi fell asleep in his bed, but many people in the city of Jinling could not sleep.

They had never imagined that Li Shaoyi had managed to turn this situation into such a crisis. All the Western countries actually sided with Li Shaoyi. Although he had offended Luosha, he had the support of the Western countries. It was hard to say whether he was a winner or a loser.

When Li Shaoyi got up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock. There was nothing to do anyway, and Li Shaoyi was planning to return to the north that afternoon. However, Li Sibei came in with a pile of invitations. They were all from some important people in Jinling who wanted to invite Li Shaoyi to dinner.

"These people probably aren't asking me to dinner. They're trying to see my connections with companies in various countries. They want me to act as a bridge for them. Just find a way to refuse. I have to fly back north this afternoon. If I stay in this city for too long, I'm afraid I won't even be able to fight anymore."

After what happened last night, Li Shaoyi found that Li Sibei looked at him a little differently, so he had to deliberately keep his distance. Moreover, the commander-in-chief of an army could not leave his brothers for a long time.

"But there are a lot of things here that can't be pushed. Would you like to come over and take a closer look?"

In the past, Li Sibei would agree directly, but now she really wants Li Shaoyi to stay a little longer.
