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

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Shaoyi was ready to rest, but Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Military Affairs came to visit. Seeing Old Wu hurriedly get out of the car, Li Shaoyi understood what was going on. It must be that the Huawei incident was getting out of control.

More than ten minutes ago, Li Shaoyi received another telegram saying that the 29th Army had surrounded the train of the 25th Division and all the troops of a battalion on the train had been disarmed.

This was equivalent to having hostages in their hands. The people of the 25th Division had thought about this before, but they thought that the people of the 29th Army were not so powerful, so they did not make any advance preparations. Now they were surrounded at the station, and everyone had to take the opportunity. The Military and Political Department called the 29th Army, and the liaison officer said something nice, asking them to check immediately, but it had been five hours and there was no result.

The commander of the 25th Division was so anxious that he almost jumped into the river. He thought that entering North China was a good thing, but who knew that so many things had happened before he even set foot there. If he had known the result would be like this, he would never have come to take advantage of it.

"Deputy Minister Wu is such a rare guest. I've been in Nanjing for quite some time now, and I've been to the Ministry of Military Affairs several times on business, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and have a cup of tea. My father-in-law gave me this wonderful Longjing tea. Come sit down and try it."

When Deputy Minister Wu walked into Li Shaoyi's room, this guy was wearing long pajamas and looked sleepy. It was obvious that he had just been called up. Deputy Minister Wu felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was already past the regular office hours, and you had no previous appointments, but you just called me. If we didn't have some personal relationship before, I could have just said I didn't want to meet you.

In the past, Li Shaoyi did not have the ability or qualifications to face the bigwigs of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, but now it is different. Li Shaoyi's status is already on the same level as Deputy Minister Wu, or slightly higher.

"I'm not here for tea, and don't bother with me with these useless things. I don't believe you don't know what's going on in North China. You must have contributed to it behind the scenes. Hurry up and tell the 29th Army to stop. Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, the happiest ones will be Japan. They have been coveting North China for a long time."

Deputy Minister Wu looked anxious. After this battalion of troops was surrounded, the 29th Army had bargaining chips in its hands. Either the Central Army continued to send troops north, or it had to admit defeat.

But neither of these two things the Central Army wanted. If they continued to send troops north, they would have to go to war. How long had the Central Plains War just ended? That war had brought all kinds of disasters to the people everywhere and greatly weakened our country's national defense.

If such a thing happened again today, the Japanese would be so happy that they would open champagne to celebrate.

But if we admit defeat, then in the future, when the Central Army wants to enter various regions, they can just follow the 29th Army. Anyway, the 29th Army did so, and it ended in nothing. If we are too timid, we will not be able to survive in this world in the future. So after admitting defeat, the Central Army will definitely not be able to move forward in various places.

The warlords in various places knew the principle that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. However, because the finances of various places have been returned to the central government in recent times, and under the leadership of the Nanjing National Government, fiscal revenue has also made great progress, which has also brought a certain improvement to the economy of various places. Therefore, these people have restrained themselves somewhat when they go against the central government.

But if the 29th Army sets an example for them now, then these people will know what to do in the future. If you are really capable, why don't you beat the 29th Army? So if we learn from the 29th Army, the result will not be too bad in the end.

"Commander Wu, it's wrong for you to come to me about this. After receiving the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, my troops retreated non-stop, moving hundreds of kilometers a day to the north. We were afraid that if we were too late, the military and political commissioners would find fault with me and accuse me of not cooperating with the central government. That would be a serious crime."

Li Shaoyi acted like he had gotten something for nothing. If the 29th Army had not received certain guarantees from Li Shaoyi, how could they dare to go against the Central Army? When the Central Army entered North China, although the 29th Army had a tough attitude, it did not dare to directly detain a battalion of the Central Army. This was an extremely serious conflict within the army.

"We are not outsiders. Consider this a favor. Tell me the truth now. How can we calm down this incident? As long as I can do it, I won't say a word."

Deputy Minister Wu was really anxious and had no time to play Tai Chi with Li Shaoyi. This incident was too serious and many foreign reporters had already rushed over. If he didn't stop quickly, perhaps thousands of Japanese troops would also take action.

Seeing Vice Minister Wu's sincere look, Li Shaoyi didn't know what to say. The National Government sent Vice Minister Wu instead of Minister He because they understood Li Shaoyi's mentality. Li Shaoyi would not make things difficult for a patriot like Vice Minister Wu.

"I can only help persuade them. The situation in North China cannot change. The 29th Army has already occupied the area, and it still belongs to them. If the Central Army's operation must have a result, then in the southern region, I will give them one or two counties. This is the biggest promise I can make. If you want to increase the stakes, I'm afraid I can't do it."

It was obvious that Deputy Minister Wu could not accept the plan proposed by Li Shaoyi. The Central Army had finally found such an opportunity, and had also offended Li Shaoyi. If in the end they could only exchange for two county towns, and they were county towns in southern North China, it would be a bit of a loss.

According to their original idea, they had to occupy at least fifteen of the twenty-two county towns, so that they could both tie down the 29th Army and keep an eye on the Japanese.

Only in this way would it be worth offending Li Shaoyi, but now I didn't expect the 29th Army to act so quickly.

"You'd better consider it carefully. The plan I proposed is of course very different from what you originally thought. But then again, if you don't listen to me and things continue to deteriorate, I can't guarantee anything. Commander Song of the 29th Army and his men are willing to do anything. Just imagine how daring they were when they were in the Northwest Army."

Having said that, Li Shaoyi will not say the rest. You can think about it yourself...
