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

Both of them are people with good self-control, so after each of them drank six taels of white wine, today's drinking party was almost over. After all, Wang Zhi had things to do when he returned, and Li Shaoyi had a lot of brothers on his side.

"Captain, this is Director Wang from the municipal government. He said he has a request from the mayor to see you."

When Wang Zhi was about to be sent to the car, Secretary Wang came over. Li Shaoyi didn't know anyone in the municipal government, but he had just helped Mayor Yuan out of trouble, so it should be a good thing.

"Yes, it's someone close to Mayor Yuan."

Wang Zhi said something in a low voice, then stepped back. After all, he worked in an intelligence agency and was not suitable to show up in public.

"Captain Li, can we find a place to talk?"

Director Wang smelled the alcohol on Li Shaoyi, but he was not surprised. This was a very normal thing. After all, who would go home at night when it gets dark if they have some power?

Li Shaoyi looked back at the restaurant where he had eaten and had no choice but to go back again, but he changed to a clean private room and ordered a pot of tea.

Tax Police Corps?

There was no friendship between the two, so there was nothing much to talk about. Director Wang directly told them about Mayor Yuan's appointment.

The former mayor issued a direct order from the municipal government, appointing Li Shaoyi as the captain of the second squadron of the Peking Tax Police Corps.

"What about my original position?"

Being able to hold multiple positions is a good thing for Li Shaoyi, and this is an armed force, so the establishment has increased.

But if the original position is dismissed, it would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

"This is also a part-time job. There are many part-time jobs in Beiping City now. One person has more than a dozen. You can choose not to go to the Second Squadron of the Tax Police Corps and find an obedient person to be the deputy captain. Wouldn't that be the end of it?"

After Director Wang finished speaking, Li Shaoyi nodded immediately.

The Tax Police Corps was mainly responsible for taxation in Peking and its surrounding areas, and had considerable power.

The two squadrons have a total of 600 people, and Li Shaoyi's second squadron also has 300 people. They were originally all men of Chen Shangang, the director of the Peking Taxation Bureau, but this time they set a trap for Mayor Yuan, and Chen Shangang was also the main force.

Mayor Yuan is no mere figurehead in Peking. He possesses considerable power. If he doesn't take the opportunity to deal with you, you really won't know who is in charge of Peking.

Secretary Wang Shuhai, who was also Mayor Yuan's confidant, immediately explained the situation to Li Shaoyi. Li Shaoyi instantly felt that he had someone above him.

It's nothing more than being used as a knife again, but Li Shaoyi doesn't mind it. If other big guys have this need, we will rush forward with hands raised.

"Director Wang, please go back and tell Mayor Yuan that we are aware of this matter. There will definitely be some action within three days."

While Li Shaoyi was speaking, he took out two small yellow croakers from his trouser pocket. These were worth ten taels of gold, and he stuffed them directly into Secretary Wang's pocket.

"The people on this piece of paper are all close associates of Chen Shangang from the tax bureau. Start slowly, working your way up, digging them out one by one."

After two small yellow croakers were caught, some things became much easier.

The two talked for another ten minutes before Director Wang got in the car and left.

"You are a very successful official now. It won't be long before the tax bureau can get involved."

Wang Zhi said with some envy that he also had two part-time jobs, but the other two positions were completely useless and did not have much effect. It was different on Li Shaoyi's side. The tax department was very profitable.

"Is this Chen Shangang a pro-Japanese?"

Li Shaoyi didn't know many people in Peking, but Wang Zhi was different. He worked in the intelligence department, so no one knew the true nature of Peking officials better than him.

"He's more than just a pro-Japanese. His wife is Japanese. When he returned from studying in Japan, he was probably infiltrated by Japanese intelligence. Later, with the help of the Japanese, he rose rapidly in the officialdom and became the director of the tax bureau in just a few years."

When talking about this person, Wang Zhi did not look happy.

The matter in Tongzhou had just ended, but Li Shaoyi was also smart. If Foreign Minister Guangtian did not leave, the Japanese would not take action on the matter in Tongzhou. Then he would have time and could take this opportunity to deal with Chen Shangang first.

After taking this guy down, Mayor Yuan will see our abilities, and we will have a strong backing in Peking in the future.

It's true that the view depends on the height you reach. When I was at the bottom, being a squadron leader in a police station kept me busy enough. Now I am in the special forces of the Renaissance Society and the tax police corps of the tax bureau. I am really too busy to handle it all.

"You're not really going to take action against Director Chen, are you? We and the Renaissance Society both have evidence that Director Chen is secretly communicating with the Japanese, but this evidence isn't enough to kill him, so we haven't taken action. Furthermore, this person has close ties with many bureaucrats in Peking. If you offend him, you'll offend a whole bunch of people, including Director Chen of your police station."

Wang Zhi still needs to be reminded.

"I know everything you said, but Mayor Yuan wouldn't give me this position for no reason. Maybe it's a test. If I want to climb higher, I have to cling to Mayor Yuan's thigh. Even if I don't deal with Director Chen, what do you think Director Chen and his men can give me? The appointment has already been made, and I have to stand against them."

After listening to Li Shaoyi's analysis, Wang Zhi could only say that Li Shaoyi had a clear mind.

When the appointment was issued, unless Li Shaoyi refused in public, he would have already stood in opposition to these pro-Japanese factions.

There is no room for maneuver, so you can only charge forward fearlessly. What's more, we are people with systems, and retreat is not in our character.

After sending Wang Zhi away, Li Shaoyi began to consider his subordinates, and Hu Dezhuo was a good choice.

This guy knows everything about what's going on in Peking. If he is placed in the Tax Police Corps, he will have room for maneuver in the future.

"Captain, why are you showing me this?"

At the police station at the train station, Hu Dezhuo had already rested and was also pulled out of bed by someone.

"Tomorrow, pack up and gather a hundred or so people. This is the platform I'm giving you. Let's go to the tax bureau. I won't be able to watch over there anymore. All my power as captain is yours. Your mission isn't big. Just take over the tax police corps."

After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, there was no fear on Hu Dezhu's face, but instead a burst of joy.

Li Shaoyi's territory expanded, and all his subordinates were promoted, but this old man was still a squadron leader. He was still a squadron leader after going to the Tax Police Corps, but the problem was that the situation was getting bigger!

If we take down both squadrons and expand another one, wouldn’t that mean we’ll be the captain of a thousand men?
