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

Chief of Staff Cui flew to the north urgently to stop these warmongers. You have indeed achieved a lot on the battlefield, but there are so many things going on in the rear.

Apart from anything else, just resettling the millions of herdsmen on the Xiongnu grasslands is already a headache. Sixty percent of them are opposed to our rule, and 35% of the Xiongnu grasslands are not in our hands.

According to the document produced by Chief of Staff Cui, if we want to control the Xiongnu steppe, the garrison is the most important link. The troops scattered on the Xiongnu steppe alone must be at least 100,000. If this number is not reached, then our control over the Xiongnu steppe will not be that strong.

And this is just a preliminary plan. Using these 100,000 people to manage millions of herders on such a vast grassland is already an extreme compression.

"I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. I just want you to know that we shouldn't just blindly expand our territory. I'm willing to expand our territory, as it's a tradition passed down through the ages. But the territory you conquer must be managed well. You can't just fight in the front and then slowly lose it in the back. That would be disrespectful to you. Even I, a paperhanger, have to tell you the truth. Our management of the land has reached its limit. Not only is your logistics lagging behind, but the management in the rear is also lagging behind. I don't think you want to see a mess in the back, which would affect your battle situation on the front lines."

The chief of staff took out another report. Currently, in the southern part of the Xiongnu grassland, which is only half of the Xiongnu grassland, there are more than 400 gangs of bandits, and the largest one has thousands of people under his command. Security groups in various places have begun to clear them out, but because the entire grassland is too large, the effect is not so good.

In addition, there are tribal leaders from all over the place. They are subservient to us on the surface, but secretly they still have connections with Luosha. If they don't look up and see our garrison every day, it will be difficult for these people to change their minds.

Originally, Zhang Jiahua and others were still a little unconvinced, and they felt that it would be a pity to stop now.

But when they saw the documents that the chief of staff took out, these people also knew that the rear could still maintain its current appearance. The chief of staff and his men had indeed worked hard, and we should also stabilize the rear.

What's more, when the Rakshasa gave up the Xiongnu grassland, perhaps we should shoulder a greater responsibility, occupy a little and govern a little, govern a little and prosper a little, instead of being like a bear trying to break a stick, only caring about the front and not the back.

Seeing that everyone present lowered their heads, Li Shaoyi knew it was time to wrap up.

"All troops going down must do a good job of ideological work. After all, we are the ones who change our orders every day. We must let the soldiers know that we will fight back in the future. We will not retreat for the time being. We will stay where we are and build fixed fortifications. After the negotiations are completed, we will temporarily withdraw from the rest of the Rakshasa territory except for Chelanga."

Li Shaoyi thought for a while and said, the Russians were able to give up the entire Xiongnu grassland, which must have been a great determination. We have to make concessions, but we must hammer a nail into the Russian land. This point cannot be changed. There will definitely be friction between the two countries in the future, and we must have countermeasures.

Moreover, with this occupied territory, the Russian army will certainly be eyeing this place covetously and will mobilize a large number of troops to watch here. In the future, we will own the entire Xiongnu grassland, and the Russian army will only be able to take care of here and not there. The border between the two countries is too long, and they cannot advance in a motorized manner. Therefore, if there is a conflict between the two countries, we will have more places to attack.

Of course, the same principle applies to the Russian army. After the border line is extended, if they want to attack us, they can find a place anywhere. However, in response to this, Li Shaoyi has decided to build eight new airports on the entire Xiongnu grassland. They must cover the entire Xiongnu grassland and use the Xiongnu grassland as an aircraft training base. At that time, no matter which direction the Russians attack us from, there will always be hundreds of aircraft watching.

After fighting on the grassland for such a long time, everyone has basically concluded that the Air Force is invincible on the grassland, especially the bomber formations with twin engines. No matter how many troops you have, unless you are all dispersed, you will be lambs to be slaughtered in front of the twin-engine bombers.

However, in the grassland, if the troops are too dispersed, it will be a problem to regroup. After all, not all armies have such good organizational capabilities.

"Regarding the negotiations in Jinling, will you go or should I?"

Only after everyone else had left did the chief of staff remember the negotiations in Nanjing.

"I'll go. My wedding hasn't even taken place yet. After signing the agreement, I think I'll have some quiet time. It's a good opportunity to have the wedding in Jinling. My father-in-law has many relatives and friends in Pujiang."

Although the person has been brought back, the ceremony has not been held yet. As a soldier, I don't care about this, but it's different for the Yu family. They are a prestigious family in Jiangnan, and they have a warlord son-in-law. If you don't hold a wedding, you are disrespecting them.

"Then remember to dig up all the people on the list. They are all well-known local officials. If the Jinling government won't let them go, you have a way. I plan to use them in the Xiongnu grasslands for a while."

The chief of staff took out a list from a book. There were seven or eight people on it. Li Shaoyi had never seen them before. However, since the chief of staff wrote them on the list, it meant that these people were very useful. It was not that the National Government did not have capable people, but that capable people were not being reused.

"Before the Chief of Staff came, he had already predicted that I would not attack?"

Li Shaoyi said with a smile while holding the paper, and then carefully handed it to his secretary.

There are some things that are too many to remember, and that's where the secretary comes in.

"I wouldn't dare to predict that. Many people in our army only care about military affairs and not civil affairs."

The chief of staff shook his head. He had never thought that this matter would go so smoothly.

Li Shaoyi also agreed with what the chief of staff said.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Mr. Chen from the Nanyang business community, the president of the Nanyang Chinese Chamber of Commerce, also sent us a telegram..."

The Chief of Staff produced another telegram, and Li Shaoyi also remembered who this Chairman Chen was, the patriotic overseas Chinese leader...
