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

"Why are you sighing, girl?"

Li Shaoyi had just signed the order regarding the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese War Corps when Wang Manli next to him sighed.

"I sigh because our fight against the Japanese is so difficult. Our troops are clearly going to Pujiang to fight, and we have to bear the brunt of the battle. We are not going to Pujiang to enjoy ourselves. I don't know what's in the minds of the people in the Military Commission. They only know how to make things difficult for us. At this time, can't we all unite and fight the Japanese?"

Wang Manli followed Li Shaoyi and would never express such feelings in the past. This girl basically knew some of the situations of the Nanjing National Government. Today she was really speechless. She didn't expect the performance to be so poor.

"Do I need to explain this to you? These people in our country often put internal struggles first. Even when faced with such a powerful enemy, everyone thinks of their own territory first. The 29th Army in Peking is like this, and so is the Central Army in Pujiang. Of course, it also has something to do with our excessive strength. Past cases show that when we defeat the Japanese on this land, it immediately becomes our territory. Peking can still be abandoned by the central government, but Pujiang cannot."

Li Shaoyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also wanted to send reinforcements to Pujiang regardless of the consequences. But if that were the case, the situation might get out of control.

Once the Nationalist government decides to go to war with him first and put the Japanese aside, then things that will make the enemies happy and the relatives sad will happen on the land of China.

Li Shaoyi has been tolerant all along, and it is for this reason that if we did not engage in internal fighting, how could the Japanese find so many opportunities?

Some people always blamed the young marshal for the loss of the three northeastern provinces, but he had his own reasons. There was a previous incident: the dispute over the railway with the Russians. The young marshal in the northeast had indeed played a tough game, but what was the final result? In a short period of time, his main force was wiped out by the Russians.

The central government, which originally said it supported him, later became almost invisible. Apart from providing diplomatic support, it did not do anything else.

Considering the overall environment at the time, the strength of the Northeast Army had almost surpassed that of the Central Army. If there was an opportunity to weaken the Northeast Army, the politicians in Nanjing would welcome it.

"Even though I say that, I still feel uncomfortable, as if our army can gain a lot of advantages by going to Pujiang."

Wang Manli poured Li Shaoyi a cup of tea, then walked behind Li Shaoyi and began to massage him silently. This is a necessary skill for a secretary. Every time during this massage, Li Shaoyi can get great relaxation.

"Don't worry about it. While avoiding civil war, we must use any means to transport our troops to Pujiang and inflict a heavy blow on the Japanese. This is our current operational objective. Don't waste your time with me. Focus on this matter. Have Chairman Chen contact overseas Chinese at home and abroad to put pressure on the Nationalist government."

Li Shaoyi patted Wang Manli's hand on his shoulder, which made Wang Manli blush, but she did not pull it away. When Li Shaoyi felt a little embarrassed, his face had turned red like an apple.

After receiving Li Shaoyi's order, Chairman Chen and his team immediately began to contact well-known overseas Chinese at home and abroad. However, they also put forward another requirement, which is that this so-called Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese War Group must depart from Southeast Asia.

"Do these guys have an army now? Didn't they say before that they were short of troops?"

Ma Leizi also got the news and rushed in from outside. You know, the overseas Chinese anti-Japanese war group that Li Shaoyi mentioned earlier would start from here. But now those old guys in Southeast Asia say that their army is sufficient. How can this be possible? I have already said it out loud.

The training at the Ludong base can be said to be second only to the headquarters. There are usually no enemies, and their training results have been surpassed again and again. Now it is finally a chance to go to the battlefield, but the people in Southeast Asia said it is not necessary. Ma Leizi has promised his men for a long time, squeezing out one elite regiment from three regiments, but now it seems that they can't go to the battlefield.

"You have to understand the hearts of overseas Chinese. Although they are wandering abroad, their roots are still in mainland China. Everyone understands the truth that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. No matter how difficult their lives are, when the country is in disaster, these people will still stand up resolutely."

Li Shaoyi also realized the mistake in his work at this time. He made the decision directly without conducting a detailed investigation. This would hurt the hearts of his brothers, especially those who were already prepared to go to war.

"Everyone understands the big principles. My men have been training in defense every day. They finally got a chance to go on a mission. They've been excited for days, polishing their guns like mirrors and preparing to board the plane at the airport. Now, suddenly, this news comes. What do you think I should do?"

Ma Leizi said with a bitter face.

As members of the 4th Infantry Division, apart from their first battle in Qingdao, they have never been on a real battlefield. Now that they have finally got the chance, are they going to give it to overseas Chinese?

"The Pujiang battlefield is massive, so don't worry. Are you still worried about not getting a chance to fight? I can promise you this: these overseas Chinese will be the last to fight. Even one of them will be deployed under your command in the future. Is that satisfactory?"

Facing the somewhat angry Ma Leizi, Li Shaoyi also knew what those people below were doing, so he didn't wait for Ma Leizi to make a request, but made a promise first.

"This is the only way we can do it now. We won't write any military orders. After all, our brother's promise is as good as our words."

After Ma Leizi said this, Li Shaoyi smiled helplessly. Your words are more effective than a military order. If you go back on your word, I'm afraid we will no longer be brothers.

At this moment, the National Government’s military meeting was busy with the task of mobilizing troops to the front line.

A combat secretary handed over a telegram from overseas, requesting that a reinforced regiment of 5,000 people be sent to Pujiang to support the Pujiang battlefield, in order to show the determination of overseas Chinese to support the war of resistance.
