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

When Director Yin was talking on the phone with the headquarters of the Japanese garrison, everyone was waiting cautiously behind him with anticipation in their eyes. As long as the Japanese were willing to send troops, Li Shaoyi and his gang would not be able to hold on, and sooner or later we would be able to fight back.

But when Director Yin came out, they found that there was no smile on his face. Could it be that the Japanese were unwilling to help?

This is impossible!

The autonomous government was built by the Japanese at the cost of a great deal of manpower and material resources. Although we are members of the autonomous government, all expenses are paid by the Japanese, and the benefits to the Japanese are the greatest.

"Director, what do the Japanese say?"

Finally, someone couldn't help it. The autonomous government was about to declare independence, and more than 20 counties were going to join, with Tongzhou being the most important. If Tongzhou was gone, all the original press releases would have to be changed.

Of course, that's not the main point. The most important thing is a matter of face. Who doesn't care about good luck? And yet, you haven't even announced it yet, and you've already lost the autonomous government office space. How can this be considered a serious matter?

"Japan will definitely help us, but Foreign Minister Hirota will be visiting Peking soon, so all matters must be handled after the visit."

After hearing the director's words, the people present had different expressions.

Some people think that what the Japanese said makes sense. After all, their foreign minister is about to visit. If a war is provoked at this time, there will probably be no explanation to the Japanese people.

Some people feel that the Japanese are too slow in doing things and are not as decisive as before. Could it be because Li Shaoyi's subordinates are more powerful?

In any case, all of them had to listen to the Japanese. Although they still had some troops, the command power was not in their hands. Each regiment commander had a Japanese adviser, who was like the emperor. If you wanted to mobilize the troops, you had to get the emperor's consent.

Although they all have high titles, such as being the heads of autonomous governments or heads of various departments, when it comes to real rights, they are very clear that what the Japanese give them is extremely limited.

Li Shaoyi had already taken this matter into account when he attacked Tongzhou. This was also a matter of normal etiquette. The Japanese Foreign Minister was about to visit. If the Japanese army made a big move, this guy would not have to come.

Moreover, Li Shaoyi also guessed what the Japanese Foreign Minister was doing, which was to bribe some pro-Japanese factions in Peiping and make some promises to these people. Compared with a small Tongzhou, the work of the Japanese Foreign Minister was of course more important.

In the next few days, after ensuring his own safety, Li Shaoyi ordered his men to occupy the entire Tongzhou.

Twelve towns, more than 900 square kilometers of land, and hundreds of thousands of people were all under the jurisdiction of Li Shaoyi. As for the former County Magistrate Yue, he was like a mascot. He had some power when the Japanese were here, but after Li Shaoyi came, he had no power at all.

Li Shaoyi has been busy these days. Since we have occupied a place, we must occupy it in reality, not just in name. So in addition to setting up checkpoints in various places, Li Shaoyi also ordered the construction of three new training grounds in Tongzhou based on the training ground in Peking.

Three conscription points were set up in the two main towns and the county seat of Tongzhou.

"team leader……"

"Where is the captain? There is only the county governor in this room."

When Li Shaoyi heard Tang Guoping's name, his eyes widened.

Tang Guoping also slapped his lips. He really didn't expect that he could get into the role so quickly. However, he was also very envious. Originally, the brothers were carrying heavy bags at the train station. It only took a few days and they became county heads.

"County Magistrate Li, our Tongzhou Garrison Regiment only has 2,000 men. Do we need three recruiting points?"

Tang Guoping said with some surprise that the recruitment point was full of people, but not many people came to sign up. If the recruitment was in Peking, it would probably be overcrowded by now.

The locals didn't dare to try it, mainly because they doubted the authenticity of the information on the paper. Six dollars a month? Is that even possible?

"You're just a blockhead. You don't know how to open your mind. The garrison regiment is indeed only composed of 2,000 people, but don't you see that every township has a security team? Every village also has a village protection team. They are all included in the county government's organization."

Li Shaoyi took an account book from the local county government, which showed all the salaries paid. For example, the town's security team received four yuan per person per month, and the village protection team received a subsidy of two yuan per person per month. Of course, it was hard to say who the money went to, but the system did exist.

"These guys are really daring! A town security team of 110 people? A village security team of 10 people..."

Tang Guoping opened it and took a look. He also admired some of the former officials in Tongzhou County. They took the vacancies to a new level. Now each town has a guard station, but it is good if there are seven or eight people in it. Some even have only the director and the deputy director. The remaining more than 100 people must have been eaten up.

"Don't worry about it. If they don't eat hard, how can we fill this shelf? Tongzhou will be our base camp in the future. Beiping is a place with all kinds of people. It's too difficult to make a living there. There are many enemies on all sides. As long as we clean up Tongzhou, it will be our territory in the future."

Li Shaoyi had tried it just now and appointed a new recruit as the guard of a town. He found that the system's establishment had also increased by one. This means that as long as you fill in the person in the position that once appeared in the official documents, it is basically recognized.

"But this place is a bit dangerous. The Japanese will definitely come from the sea. If we are in Peking, the 29th Army will be blocking us in front. If we are in Tongzhou, the Japanese will come to us as soon as they leave Tianjin."

Tang Guoping said with some concern.

"You need to change your mindset. From now on, if you follow me, we will be the ones to cause trouble for the Japs, not the Japs causing trouble for us. Don't you see? The more trouble we cause for the Japs, the greater our power will be..."

Li Shaoyi knew that this concept would take time to take hold, but after he finished speaking, Tang Guoping's eyes did brighten up a lot...
