Shandong Provincial Capital

Having suffered such a huge loss, Commander Han naturally could not swallow his anger. Although he did not take any countermeasures on the surface, he still felt a knot in his heart.

"Report to the commander, the 72nd Army's special envoy has arrived."

Just as Commander Han was stepping on a part of the table in a daze, the secretary came in from the door.

Special envoy of the 72nd Army?

What are you doing here? You just swallowed up my entire infantry brigade and the entire Dengzhou area. Are you here to show off your power?

If this is really the case, then it is really too much. Although we are a ragtag army, we cannot let you bully us like this.

"God damn it! They really treat me like dirt! Order the guards to assemble! I don't care who this special envoy is, arrest him immediately."

Commander Han did not understand the actual situation. He just heard that the enemy's envoy had come, so he slammed the table and was about to take action, without considering the expression on his secretary's face at all.

"Sir, you misunderstood. Listen to me, it's not like that..."

Commander Han picked up his coat and walked to the door. He saw the embarrassed expression on the secretary's face. This secretary had been following him around for quite a while and was always cautious in doing things. Could there be some inside story?

"Aren't you here to show off your power?"

Commander Han is also a local tyrant. He has fought from the northwest to the eastern Shandong Province, but he has never suffered such a big loss. If Li Shaoyi really sends people to show off his power, I will arrest your envoy no matter what Jinling says.

"This envoy brought back all the equipment of our infantry brigade, including the bullets and uniforms. In addition, there were 4,000 rifles and 1,000 pistols."

Hearing his secretary's words, Commander Han's eyes widened. Is there such a good thing in the world? For local warlords like them, equipment is their lifeblood. After taking down a team, the team itself is not even the most important. The equipment is the most important thing. Doesn't the 72nd Army want it?

But he soon understood. After the 72nd Army occupied Qingdao, he also sent a group of people there. According to what those people said, the weapons and equipment used by the 72nd Army were much more advanced than ours. They were not on the same level at all. I guess they would not look down on our broken guns and cannons.

"Fuck you! You took my entire infantry brigade, and now you're using this little money to feed beggars?"

Although she was still cursing, she was no longer prepared to go out and argue with the envoy of the 72nd Army. Don't hit the person who gives you a gift. No matter what the outcome of your conflict is, you are in the wrong in the first place. Now they have returned the equipment. From any angle, it is not the problem of the 72nd Army. If you continue to dwell on this matter, you will lose your reputation in the country and be no different from a shrew in the market.

"Sir, the 72nd Army is quite meticulous in its work. We've fought from the northwest to eastern Shandong, hundreds of battles, big and small. Have you ever seen anyone return their equipment? There are also more than 2,000 soldiers who returned together. They all smoked opium, and they are not wanted by the people."

The first half of the secretary's words made the same sense, but when he heard the second half, Commander Han became angry again.

"He only returns what he doesn't want. I don't want people like that in my army. Let them do whatever they want. I didn't even ask them to settle accounts for losing the Dengzhou area. Don't expect me to take care of them."

This is just when they are angry. If it were normal times, these local warlords would not let go of even two thousand people. Although they are physically weak due to smoking opium, these people are still qualified to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

People from the Jinling National Government were also stationed in the provincial capital of Ludong Province. After seeing this scene, they reported the situation to Jinling.

The people in Jinling's upper echelons knew Li Shaoyi's character. He was quite righteous and would do things without half-hearted efforts. He would finish what needed to be done. Even if there were internal conflicts, it was completely different from before.

Of course, warlords all over the country also understand that the 72nd Army is not on the same level as us, so don't expect to defeat them. Commander Han is lucky that this war did not break out. If it had really broken out, do you think he could have kept his provincial capital?

Although Commander Han refused to admit defeat, he knew in his heart that this result was already quite good. If he continued to struggle, he would really anger that living devil, and his territory would belong to him.

The most disappointed were the Japanese. They were running around in the provincial capital of eastern Shandong, lobbying the people around Commander Han, demanding both financial and military support, just to get them to fight Li Shaoyi. They hoped that, like the Central Plains War in 1930, they would plunge the entire China into chaos and weaken China's resistance.

Unfortunately, the people on the Ludong Provincial Government side were not that stupid, and what the Japanese did was a bit too exposed. In the end, Commander Han dispatched his own guards to expel more than 20 Japanese spies, which restored some of his reputation.

Of course, in Li Shaoyi's opinion, this is still a little timid. If it were him, it would not be as simple as expulsion. Since it has been confirmed that you have bad intentions, if I let you go, it would seem that I am too kind.

For example, the dozen or so Japanese spies in front of Li Shaoyi were all found out from the Qingdao Municipal Government. Some of these people came to this land more than ten years ago. After changing their names, they became just like Chinese people. However, with the efforts of Gu Xiaomeng, these people were still dug out.

Deportation is impossible!

Li Shaoyi directly took the people to the Japanese Consulate in Qingdao, and then ordered his men to shoot them one by one. After that, he went to knock on the door and asked the people from the consulate to come out and collect the bodies.

Everyone has basically become accustomed to such operations. According to Li Shaoyi, if you dare to send people to infiltrate my territory, don't blame me for killing them. This is normal operation. From now on, no matter how many of you come, I will kill as many as I want to see whether you have more people or I have more bullets.

Apart from lodging a solemn protest, Japan has no other solution.

Qingdao is not Pujiang. In Pujiang, there are people from the Windsor Empire helping them. In Qingdao, with Ma Leizi in charge, everything is like an iron wall. Apart from those who have infiltrated before, it would be extremely difficult to send new people in...

After this execution, there are even fewer people left...
