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

After a heated argument, everyone was deeply dissatisfied with Li Shaoyi's public telegram, believing it was an attempt to kidnap the central government. However, given the current situation, they did not know how to deal with the Pujiang battlefield. The most important thing was the fear of losing the support of the people.

The common people and low-level military officers have all gone to Li Shaoyi's side. Even a group of senior military officers hope that Li Shaoyi can come to Pujiang to turn the tide. Of course, this is also what many senior officials of the National Government think. After all, they themselves are powerless to change the status quo.

According to their thinking, we will fight in the Pujiang battlefield first. If we can defeat the Japanese, we will naturally not need the 72nd Army. But if we cannot defeat them, or if the situation becomes a stalemate like it is now, then we will have to call in the 72nd Army to clean up the mess.

To put it bluntly, they took all the benefits and left all the bad things to the 72nd Army.

Now Li Shaoyi has not discussed it with them and has directly sent a telegram to the whole country, kicking the ball of choice to your feet. Either let our 72nd Army take care of the overall situation and I, Li, will command everything, or you can do it by yourselves.

After careful consideration, although all factions did not want Li Shaoyi's power to continue to expand, under the current circumstances, they had to either leave Pujiang to the Japanese, putting the entire Jiangnan area in danger, or leave Pujiang to Li Shaoyi, with at least a 50% chance of success.

What's more, even if Li Shaoyi occupied Jiangnan, he could not be like the Japanese. The National Government still had a large number of grassroots officials in various places.

Even if Li Shaoyi couldn't hold Pujiang, he certainly fought more effectively than we did. Many in the Ministry of Military Affairs argued that even if the situation remained the same as in Tianjin and Peking, Japan's strategic offensive capabilities would be greatly reduced. They had originally assumed the Japanese army could at least reach Hankou. If the 72nd Army had defended Pujiang and Nanjing, they would have been able to deplete over 70% of their forces.

Of course, this is all just talk. As for what the final outcome will be, it depends on the actual development on the battlefield. It is not something that can be deduced by a few staff officers with some data, not to mention that the current data is not that real.

After the closed-door meeting, Central Daily News took the lead in publishing today's new issue.

The old man ignored the opposition and personally appointed Li Shaoyi as the commander-in-chief of the Pujiang War Zone.

From that day on, he would command an army of more than 500,000, including units of the Central Army, to launch a decisive battle with Japan in Pujiang.

And he assured the people of the whole country that the National Government would continue to fully support the Pujiang battlefield and draw 300,000 troops from all over the country to launch a decisive battle with the Japanese army!

As soon as the news came out, Li Shaoyi's limelight was overshadowed by the National Government. Ordinary people from all over the country even thought they had seen it wrong, and some people felt a little guilty.

In the past, they often criticized the Nationalist government for not resisting the Japanese, and even held demonstrations in various places.

Now it seems I was mistaken. How could they not resist the Japanese? They simply hadn't been pushed to that point. If they were pushed to that point, they would have asserted their rights.

Li Shaoyi didn't care much about this kind of limelight. As long as he was allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Pujiang War Zone, other things didn't matter.

"Brother, do you really not need me to go with you? You've seen what's happening here at home, nothing's wrong."

At the island city airport, Ma Leizi looked at Li Shaoyi with more eager eyes than when he looked at his own wife.

At this moment, a large number of troops were mobilized from the north and the island city to Pujiang, but it had nothing to do with him. He had to continue to serve as the logistics captain.

Li Shaoyi glanced at the guy and without saying a word, he led his men onto the plane. He explained everything that should be explained in the past two days, and also explained everything that should not be explained. In front of so many people, this guy brought up what he had said before.

So Li Shaoyi simply didn't explain anything!

"Seven-two-one! Seven-two-one! Cleared for takeoff, please taxi to the runway."

After hearing the news from the tower, Li Shaoyi's private plane on the central runway was ready, and dozens of fighter jets took off from the secondary runways on both sides. They were going to escort Li Shaoyi to Jinling safely.

According to Li Shaoyi's original idea, he should fly directly to Pujiang, which would show his ability. Didn't you say that Pujiang Airport is dangerous? I have to land here.

But news came this morning that the runway of Pujiang Airport was bombed. If they wanted to land, they would have to wait until at least tomorrow. Li Shaoyi probably couldn't wait that day, not to mention that he had to go to Nanjing to meet with various dignitaries.

"You're quite fast in getting the airport pick-up to the island city."

After the plane slowly took off, Li Shaoyi teased Li Sibei next to him that they had agreed to pick him up at Jinling Airport. As it turned out, Li Sibei had nothing to do and flew directly to the island city.

"There are some things I have to tell you in advance. This time when you go to Jinling, all departments will treat you as a piece of fat meat, so there are some things you can say, and some things you absolutely cannot say. With your carefree attitude, if something you say is wrong, we will have to pay a huge price."

Li Sibei rushed over. Besides being worried about Li Shaoyi because she hadn't seen him for a long time, she also had some official business to attend to.

"Don't worry about that. If someone is truly fighting the Japanese and wants to eat a piece of my flesh, I don't mind. But if someone is pretending to be fighting the Japanese and still wants to eat a piece of my flesh, I will definitely tear his teeth out."

Li Shaoyi snorted coldly. Among the various troops currently fighting in Pujiang, who was truly fighting the Japanese? Who was just trying to take advantage of the situation? Li Shaoyi's investigation was almost complete.

If someone takes this opportunity to ask you to support a batch of weapons for the troops who are truly fighting against the Japanese, you don't need to tell them.

For example, the Sichuan Army troops stationed in Luodian were not only given pistols, but also underwent special training.

It’s no problem for other troops to want these equipments. As long as you are truly fighting against Japan, we will definitely not stop you in any way.

But if you just want to take advantage and run around on the battlefield, don't blame me for being rude.

"Also, regarding logistics, since you are now the commander of the Pujiang War Zone, I've heard from some people in the Military and Political Department that all logistics work for the Pujiang War Zone may fall into your hands from now on."

Li Sibei said very angrily.

But in Li Shaoyi's opinion, this is nothing. I am the commander and you follow me to fight the Japanese. Naturally, the food, drink, and toilet expenses are my responsibility.

If I can't even take care of your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, what kind of commander am I?
