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

Li Shaoyi had nothing to worry about regarding the local troops. After he went there, he would be able to corrupt these people quickly by providing them with delicious food and entertainment. However, he was not so worried about the 9th Infantry Division of the Central Army, as it was an elite force after all.

After training, the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Central Army is slightly higher than that of other warlords across the country. In addition to the usual supply of materials, they are also the most combat-effective troops on the Chinese mainland.

Of course, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Central Army also bore most of the pressure of the war, and its cooperation with local warlords was also quite good. This is why Li Shaoyi was unwilling to fall out with them. No matter what time it is, we must respect the heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

"Don't worry, the commander of the 9th Infantry Division has just been replaced. According to your wife's relationship, you can still call him brother-in-law. He will be considered a relative of your family. We can discuss anything later."

Seeing that Li Shaoyi was somewhat unhappy, Deputy Minister Wu immediately talked about the situation of the 9th Infantry Division. The division had a total of 10,400 people, which was considered an understaffed infantry division. After arriving at the island city, Li Shaoyi's task was to help them recruit soldiers and equip them with some slightly advanced weapons. Otherwise, the next time the Japanese devils attacked the island city, the 9th Infantry Division might not be able to help.

Since Deputy Minister Wu nodded secretly, Li Shaoyi also knew that the 9th Infantry Division should not be a troublemaker, so he could have a good talk with them after going there.

"Now that we've discussed the serious matters, let's discuss some minor matters. The reorganization of the national army is currently underway. We've already completed three arms deals with you, and they're nearing completion. The Ministry of Military Affairs would like to inquire if it's possible to facilitate a few more deals in the near future. Regarding the financial aspect..."

In these three arms deals, a total of five infantry divisions were reorganized. The Nationalist government also wanted to have a large number of artillery pieces, but the logistics could not keep up, so it only requested a batch of light weapons and light artillery according to the standards of the original German-equipped divisions.

Li Shaoyi also wanted to pull over the 105mm artillery, but the problem was that in the Kuomintang army without cars, it was too difficult to rely solely on war horses for operations, so he finally chose the 75mm infantry gun.

"You can buy arms if you want, but forget about the money. My prices are definitely the cheapest. The quality of the goods is obvious to both officers. If you want to take advantage of me on price, then we can't have a deal."

When Li Shaoyi heard that the other party wanted to lower the price, he immediately began to shake his head. The price of our weapons is not expensive, and the National Government also has special funds. Even if I don't want it, the money you save will not reach the people. It must have been embezzled by some officers in charge, so not a penny less of this money can be given.

"Sirs, I'm not going to make a living without hard work. Take a look at the weapons and equipment I'm selling you. If they're even slightly different from what the Junkers sold, bring them to this table immediately and I'll refund you tenfold."

Seeing Li Shaoyi like this, complaining and pouring wine for them, the two officers were at a loss to say anything. After all, what Li Shaoyi said was the truth. In today's Chinese land, except from Li Shaoyi, you really can't buy such cheap and high-quality weapons.

"The various warlords have also purchased a lot of weapons. For the sake of national unity, could you please calculate the number of weapons they purchased..."

Minister He had just spoken halfway when Li Shaoyi made a pause gesture.

"All of you are my superiors and my clients. As an arms dealer, I, Li, must uphold my integrity. Whether you want to inquire about the amount of arms they purchased or the amount the central government purchased, I know nothing about them."

This kind of thing must never happen. No matter how good our relationship is, Li Shaoyi will never use customer relationships recklessly. Of course, I will definitely write it down, but if you want to know, I don't care if you find out from other channels, but you will never find out from me.

"You're quite dedicated, but don't forget, you're under a lot of pressure after returning to the north. Our Military and Political Department Intelligence Department has received news in Japan that the Japanese Navy and Army have put aside their differences because of your oppression. The Navy has given up some military funds, and the Japanese Army is going to target you in the north."

Seeing Li Shaoyi like this, Deputy Minister Wu knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he told Li Shaoyi the news he had obtained from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. He told Li Shaoyi to hurry up and prepare for war after returning to the north. If a war broke out this time, the scale would definitely be much larger than the last time. Both Russia and Japan wanted to kill Li Shaoyi.

"If the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. If you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have believed that there would be a day when the Japanese navy and army would cooperate. But I'm not worried. My soldiers in the north are well-trained and capable. If they dare to cause trouble, I can expand my sphere of influence."

Li Shaoyi said nonchalantly that during this period of dealing with the affairs of the island city, the major recruit camps in the north were not idle either, and they stepped up the training of various recruits. No matter how large the scale of this time was, even if the troops of the Kwantung Army and the Luosha Far East Military Region were included, Li Shaoyi would be able to fight them back and forth.

"Then we'll have to wait and see. When the war really begins, besides the support from European and American countries, what else do the central provinces need? Just follow the same procedure as last time and cooperate with them."

Minister He said with a smile that the support given to Li Shaoyi by the central provinces last time did play a lot of roles on the battlefield, but Li Shaoyi was not a person who owed money. All kinds of materials purchased from these provinces were paid for in full, which made many people make a lot of money.

There are also some ordinary people who have bought horse-drawn carriages specifically, waiting for the war to break out in the north. As long as the war breaks out in the north, the seventy-second or so people will definitely have to requisition horse-drawn carriages. We will bring our own animals and carriages to the battlefield to help, and we can earn twenty kilograms of flour every day.

They all do the same work. Those people on the Xiongnu grassland only get five kilograms of white flour a day, but if they are Han people from the mainland, Li Shaoyi will give them twenty kilograms of white flour. The white flour in his own space is almost as high as Mount Tai. Why not use it to pay these people's wages?

What's more, many people are happy to be paid with flour, as they can make a small profit by reselling it.
