Chapter 415 Back to Jinling
In the next half month, the Japanese in Pujiang were in disaster. The Westerners had long disliked them and wanted to punish them, but they did not want to offend the rising Japan, so they endured it for the time being.
This time Li Shaoyi is taking the lead, and the officials of the two major concessions are only there to cooperate. They don't have to worry about taking any responsibility. Anyway, if there is any problem, they can just push it onto Li Shaoyi. That's what he said, so we shouldn't stop him.
Of course, Westerners also know why Li Shaoyi said this. Looking at Li Shaoyi's history of dealing with the Japanese, he was able to basically get away with it every time and even gain great advantages.
Take this conflict for example. Li Shaoyi fought a tough battle, but the income he gained was definitely ten or a hundred times greater than that of the battle. The Westerners just followed behind and got a share of the profits, but even so, it was enough for them to eat their fill.
Although they were jealous of Li Shaoyi's income, they also saw the situation of the battle that day. If they did not want to become Li Shaoyi's enemy, it would be better for them to take the current money and cooperate honestly. Otherwise, if they wanted to take advantage of Li Shaoyi, they would end up losing more than they gained.
All the affairs of Pujiang were handed over to Wu Zhenkui, and Li Shaoyi also led his mobile personnel back to Nanjing. The business of this trip to Nanjing had not been completed yet, and there were not many changes in the north, so Li Shaoyi still had time to do things.
Of course, this time returning to Nanjing is different from the last time I came from the north.
Everyone in Jinling is worried about the Pujiang issue. After all, Pujiang is the core of the entire Dragon Kingdom. If there is any unrest, they will all be in trouble.
Therefore, the Japanese dared to cause trouble at the tip of their heart because they were sure of this point. However, they did not expect that they would hit a wall this time and were severely punished by Li Shaoyi. Of course, this punishment was different from what they expected and was more than ten times more excessive than they expected.
Many people in Nanjing couldn't sleep at night, fearing that the Japanese would launch an all-out war because of this reason. However, so much time had passed, and the Japanese had not taken any other action except attacking and scolding.
Some knowledgeable people have also realized that the Japanese used to threaten us with war at every turn, but it seems that it was just a threat.
This time when Li Shaoyi got off the plane at Jinling Airport, the people from various departments were no longer colonel-level officers, but at least the major generals on duty that day.
"You have the air of a great official now."
After Li Shaoyi dealt with the crowd, he finally got on the office car. Li Sibei said with a smile.
"Actually, we should have received this kind of treatment a long time ago, but those guys were blind. Now that they see how much we've accomplished in Pujiang, they must know that we have good relations with the consuls of various countries. That's why they set up an ambush in advance. If they need help from us in the future, they won't even see us in person. What a bunch of mean people."
Before Li Shaoyi could speak, Ma Leizi saw these people clearly. You have to know that Ma Leizi was originally an ordinary citizen in Beiping City. Now he can understand all these things, and he must have put a lot of effort into it.
"Brother Lei, that's fine. A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence."
Li Sibei patted Ma Leizi's shoulder and said, and the big man blushed instantly.
"Our Lei Zi has been studying hard recently, so please don't look at me with old eyes."
Li Shaoyi smiled and waved to the people outside the window while educating Li Sibei. In the eyes of these children of bureaucrats in Jinling, the people around Li Shaoyi were nothing more than loyal and brave.
When it comes to these things in officialdom, they really don't know much. Now it seems that this kind of thinking needs to be changed, and everyone will make progress.
"Seriously, I've submitted all our demands, and the higher-ups have held several meetings over the past two days. I'm afraid it's unlikely we'll be given a division. I think we'll probably be given an independent brigade."
After the car left the airport, Li Sibei regained her composure. This time, Li Shaoyi went south to get the army to guard Chahar. According to the original idea, giving them a division-level organization would be the best.
"Chahar is quite large. Even though the population is a little small, there's nothing wrong with giving it an infantry division."
Li Shaoyi frowned and said that Jinling must have seen that he had become too big, especially with the expansion in Pujiang this time. Some people should have told the old man to restrict himself in other areas.
"Normally, this infantry division would definitely be taken down, but the problem is that you've expanded it too quickly, and that's made many people dissatisfied. Even if this infantry brigade is organized according to the largest four-regiment system, it's still a bit insufficient in Chahar. However, the security regiments in various places, as well as the security brigade under the Chahar Security Commander, are all under your control, aren't they?"
Li Sibei felt that it was not the right time to confront them head-on. Although we had made contributions in Pujiang, it was a different matter from what happened in the north. We should try to keep a low profile and not make too many enemies.
"It's because of these security brigades and regiments. If it weren't for this, do you think I'd be sitting here so calmly? They've been knocking on my door for a long time. I worked my ass off for them in Pujiang, and now they're still giving me a hard time in Nanjing. What kind of government is this?"
Li Shaoyi said angrily, if he had known that they would only have one infantry brigade, he would have asked Li Sibei to do it directly. Didn't we come all the way to Nanjing just to get another infantry division?
"Don't worry, where there are people, there's struggle. As long as the war against the Xiongnu breaks out, even if you only recover a piece of land, the establishment of this infantry division will definitely be reduced. Let's use public opinion to recapture the land. The soldiers will not even have an establishment. Who in the Jinling government can tolerate this?"
Li Sibei is very cunning and has no way to compete with the central government now, but as long as the war to recover the outer Xiongnu is launched, if this side does not support it, then I am afraid that some people will be sent to the forefront.
It's useless to say patriotic words at other times. You have to stand up at this time. The soldiers on the front line fought for the land with their lives, but even the regular army can't be stationed there. It was actually taken back by a group of security groups. Wouldn't the Nanjing National Government be embarrassed by then?
I'm afraid that by then it won't be Li Shaoyi who comes to ask for the position, but the people of the Nanjing National Government who will rush to hand it over. Li Shaoyi can then offer whatever price he wants, otherwise you will have to live your life with the label of traitor.
