Yu Qiuer was very happy when she heard that her father had suddenly become the Minister of the 72nd Army.

You have been in Chahar for quite some time, so you naturally know what the security standards for a minister are.

At least those Japanese thieves can't do anything to my father.

In fact, the old man now has a special bodyguard, but he does not have an open identity. After having this open identity, Western countries will sometimes provide some special protection for Li Shaoyi's sake.

"Your career is growing bigger and bigger. When we first met, you were just a captain of the guard for the mayor of Peking. Now you are much bigger than the mayor of Peking."

Thinking about the past, Yu Qiuer really felt like she was dreaming. Originally, Li Shaoyi was able to marry Yu Qiuer, and everyone thought that Li Shaoyi was marrying above his station.

It’s hard to say who is trying to get ahead now.

"I'm actually a relatively lazy and peace-loving person, but the rapid growth of my army is all due to the pressure from my enemies. If they weren't constantly looking for trouble around me, how could I have expanded my army so much?"

As Li Shaoyi spoke, he leaned his body against his wife, which was a complete relaxation. Although there seemed to be no great danger during the time in Tianjin, fatigue was always there.

"Anyway, you're right. If your enemies heard what you just said, they'd all line up to vomit blood again."

Miss Yu said with a smile, holding Li Shaoyi in her arms. Sometimes she thought that it would be nice to have her own man at home instead of being the commander of millions of people outside.

However, Miss Yu quickly shook her head. This country and this nation have many heavy burdens on her man's shoulders. If she is too selfish, she may not be able to live up to the people of the world.

When Miss Yu wanted to say something else, she heard the sound of Li Shaoyi sleeping soundly in her arms. Miss Yu signaled the people working nearby to slowly leave, then she opened a blanket and told them to sleep like this for now.

Looking at Li Shaoyi's tired face, the young lady felt distressed. After all, it was her man who was so exhausted because of the country's affairs. The funny thing was that the people from the Nanjing National Government were watching him from behind, always trying to find fault with her man.

In other words, I don't have that ability. If I had that ability, I would hang up all the officials of the Nationalist Government and whip them hard.

Just when the eldest lady was thinking about Jinling, the highest military meeting of the Jinling Military and Political Department was also held. Li Shaoyi had been kicked out and was not qualified to attend this meeting. However, when the surrounding generals arrived, they found that a clerk was sitting in the position that originally belonged to Li Shaoyi, and they all looked unhappy.

You people in Jinling really know how to be officials. None of you have ever seen what a Japanese bullet looks like, yet you have excluded one of the greatest anti-Japanese hero.

It’s really awesome!

"Today's meeting seems to be held at an inopportune time. From what I understand, it's supposed to be about defending the Pujiang River, but none of our personnel have experience fighting the Japanese. Those with experience fighting the Japanese are all in the north, especially the 72nd Army. Why not invite them to participate? What can we discuss by inviting us, the outsiders?"

Commander Bai of the Guangxi warlords, known as the Little Zhuge Liang, has always been bold and outspoken.

At the same time, he also admired the 72nd Army's fighting in the north. Seeing that Li Shaoyi did not come to attend the meeting, he did not care about everyone's face and started yelling.

"Who says it's not? Even if we put all of us together, I'm afraid we wouldn't be as strong as the 72nd Army. We all know what the Japs are like now. This is not the big pot roast we used to have. They are very elite. Everyone knows that it's quite difficult to achieve a casualty ratio of 6 to 1 or 5 to 1 in the north. But the 72nd Army has pulled it to a ratio of 1 to 10. Can we compare with them?"

Sitting next to Commander Bai was a general of the Sichuan Army, currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, who represented General Liu to attend the highest military meeting.

They also had a good relationship with the 72nd Army. They provided support to the 72nd Army with two regiments of troops, and some people went there privately. Of course, Li Shaoyi did not treat these Sichuan Army brothers badly, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were continuously shipped to Sichuan.

"Don't talk about anything else. This is not part of our meeting. The main purpose of calling you all here today is to discuss how to defend Pujiang. All armies must contribute personnel. Pujiang is of paramount importance. If it is lost, it will be a huge disaster for the entire country. At the same time, if we win this battle, we can also hold talks with Japan."

Minister He tapped the table lightly with his pipe. Facing various warlords, he was a little overwhelmed. He was afraid that except for the old man, no one else would give face to these first-class generals in front of him.

"It's only right that we contribute manpower and effort to defend Pujiang, but is it like before, leaving the task of sending our ragtag troops to their deaths while the Central Army waits in the wings to reap the benefits? If that's the case, then I'm certain this war cannot be won."

A warlord general from the southwest stabbed the knife directly into the lung tube.

In the past, the Nationalist government's military operations were mostly carried out by various miscellaneous troops, who would fight in the front and then the Central Army would come out to clean up the mess.

If it is still like this now, I guess no one would be willing to do it. We are all born by our parents, so why should we rush to the front and die while you reap the benefits from the back?

"I understand what the generals mean, so I'm announcing a military resolution before the meeting. The three German-equipped divisions currently stationed near Pujiang, including the Training Corps, have received orders and moved to the vicinity of Suzhou Creek. They will soon enter Pujiang to execute the order to capture the Japanese Marines."

When Minister He finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. They originally thought that the Nationalist government was slow in doing things and would not have a good plan so far, but they did not expect that they had already started to act, and the speed of action was so fast, and they were even taking the initiative to attack.

"The Japanese Marines are surrounded by the Pujiang Police Department. There's no need to mobilize these elite infantry divisions. The Pujiang Police Department alone should be enough to give them a hard time..."

Commander Bai said with a hint of meaning.
