Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers
Chapter 784 72nd Army Banquet
The convoy drove directly to the 72nd Army Office, which is now considered an important government office. In the restaurant on the second floor, Li Shaoyi also temporarily set up a few tables to entertain the heads of major government offices in Nanjing.
For a moment, the entire restaurant was filled with brilliant generals. Anyone who could eat here had to be at least at the rank of colonel, but most of them held the rank of general.
As for the people from the civil affairs department, they were all eating on the third floor. The two sides were not in the same system. Although they knew each other, they still felt a little uncomfortable when a man in a Zhongshan suit suddenly appeared among a group of people in military uniforms. Li Shaoyi also changed into his Central Army uniform and mingled with everyone.
"Captain Li, we're all rough men right now, we all make a living carrying guns. You've urgently returned from Southeast Asia, so you need to give us a heads-up: are you going to recapture Northeast China when you return to the north?"
A commander of the Central Army was quite anxious. After three glasses of wine, he immediately came over with a glass of wine. When talking about the issue of recovering the Northeast, soldiers from all over the country felt uncomfortable. Although we usually fight each other, the problem is that the Northeast is in the hands of the Japanese. This is like a pain in the heart. We can't raise our heads in front of foreign soldiers.
You are saying this and that, and what you say are all big words, but your three northeastern provinces are in the hands of the Japanese, and this is an unchangeable fact. If the foreign soldiers are good people, they will not bring this up.
But if you encounter a word that is designed to cause trouble, it can destroy you. Therefore, if the three northeastern provinces can be recovered, it will be a proud thing for the soldiers across the country.
"Everyone, I can tell from your expressions that you all want to know about this. I won't deny that I have such thoughts, but with my current military strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Although I have a lot of troops under my command, most of them are stationed in the Xiongnu grasslands and at the border with Luosha. I have taken such a big advantage over Luosha. Their two major military regions have concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops. It's hard to say when they will attack. I must be prepared, so I don't have many troops available for battle."
What Li Shaoyi said was the truth. Before going to Southeast Asia, he had just finished fighting with Luosha. This matter was not something that could be resolved by drinking a few glasses of wine. Everyone present knew how much loss the Luosha army had suffered at the hands of Li Shaoyi.
As for the Xiongnu grasslands, whether it was the Rakshasa or the original sand geese, they had put a lot of effort into getting them. This matter alone had been planned for decades, and the money and energy spent were countless.
If Li Shaoyi recaptured the territory just like that, could they possibly swallow this? They'd probably never be able to close their eyes in their graves. So it was perfectly normal for Li Shaoyi to place his main forces at the border between the two countries. Of course, given the current situation in Europe, Luosha might not take action, but we had to prepare for the worst. If these people rushed over without regard for their lives, you couldn't rely on the herdsmen to resist them, could you?
"If they don't want to completely reclaim Northeast China, then why are the Rehe garrisons entering full combat mode recently? Why is that?"
The question asked by another general was also of concern to everyone. Li Shaoyi would not start something with great fanfare and then not finish it completely. He must have some ideas.
"The Japanese are on our soil. This is a source of worry. Generals, you are all new recruits. Although I don't have the ability to reclaim Northeast China, I can still fight on a small scale. I will kill every devil I can. There will always be a day when we can kill them all. But if I don't do it because it's a trivial matter, then when will we kill all the devils? I don't ask for more. Even if my Rehe garrison kills a dozen a day, it will still be several thousand a year."
After hearing this, everyone was truly in awe. There were many generals who talked about resisting the Japanese, but the only one who actually did it was probably Li Shaoyi.
"Commander Li's way of doing things has earned our respect. Let's raise our glasses together. A toast to Commander Li and a toast to the 72nd Army."
Most of the people who can come here today are anti-Japanese people. After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, they realized that what they said was not empty talk. This is the first time we have heard this theory of Li Shaoyi, but it really convinced everyone.
"Generals, let me say this. My 72nd Army and I will certainly fight the Japanese invaders to the death on the battlefields of the War of Resistance. But I would like to first offer this glass of wine to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the battlefields of the War of Resistance. From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, although we have lost more than we have won on the battlefields of the Japanese invaders, it is undeniable that those martyrs are still the beacon that illuminates our way forward. I propose this glass of wine to them."
After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly became lively. Some people raised their wine glasses with red eyes, and then slowly poured the wine on the ground in front of them.
"Heroes!"
"Salute to the martyrs!"
Deputy Minister Wu and some others also raised their glasses, but some people showed a hint of fear in their eyes. Li Shaoyi not only won victories on the battlefield, but his prestige among the soldiers was also increasing. This might not be a good thing for the old man.
Although the Whampoa officers are still loyal at the moment, some of them took off their Central Army uniforms and put on the 72nd Army uniforms for the sake of the Anti-Japanese War. Li Qiankun is the leader among these people, and their number is increasing.
While Li Shaoyi and his companions were drinking, in several private rooms on the left side of the third floor, Yu Qiuer, Li Shaoyi's wife, also began to win people over for Li Shaoyi. These wives of generals who came also received valuable gifts.
Men can use bold words to inspire their ambitions and make them feel that following Li Shaoyi means they can achieve great things. In the eyes of women, these gifts may be the most reassuring.
According to the ranks of these generals' wives, Li Shaoyi also brought back a lot of precious jewelry from Southeast Asia. Of course, all of them were confiscated from their homes. Selling them for money is good, but sometimes it can play a greater role if you can win people's hearts.
Looking at the wives of officials who were admiring the gifts, Yu Qiuer smiled and nodded.
There is one table for the legal wife and one table for the concubine.
When Yu Qiuer went out, Mrs. Tang Er also went out. They both nodded to indicate that everything had been done.
I don't ask these generals' wives to do anything for me. As long as I can gain their favor, I will consider it a success.
