Chapter 205: Targeting Rehe and Chahar
The two chatted sweetly for more than an hour before Li Shaoyi got into the car. When he turned around, Yu Qiuer looked at Li Shaoyi with a tearful look in her eyes.
"Let's go to the train station."
Love between young men and women is certainly beautiful, but when we are reborn into this society, the most important thing is to save the country and the people. Li Shaoyi was very clear about this, so after separating from Miss Yu, he immediately went straight to the train station.
"These bastards are really going too far. Have you forgotten how you turned the tide in the north and fought for their say? I heard that the 29th Army's telegram to Nanjing is no longer so tough."
Wu Zhenkui worked as secretary to the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, so naturally he received the most information.
The 29th Army originally dominated North China. They would execute the limited orders of the Nanjing National Government if they were willing to, and would find excuses if they were unwilling to do so. In the minds of the 29th Army, North China was their private territory anyway.
Now that Li Shaoyi's Jidong Special District has been added, some things are different. In addition to relying on your 29th Army, the 72nd Brigade under Li Shaoyi is also another force in North China.
In the past, the 29th Army could be ignored, but now if the relationship with Nanjing remains so bad, and Nanjing concentrates on supporting Li Shaoyi's 72nd Brigade, it is not certain who will have the final say in Peking in the future.
"I have a favor to ask of you. Please keep an eye on the Nanjing Nationalist Government for me in Nanjing and see what they are doing to the northern provinces. If possible, wait until I am strong enough and get them back to me."
After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, neither Li Sibei nor Wu Zhenkui understood what he meant. Aren't the provinces north of Peking all in Japanese hands? Does Nanjing give you a letter of appointment mean that the land is yours? Could the Japanese hand it over to you?
"My dear fellow, the Japanese went to great lengths to acquire Rehe and Chahar. You're not thinking of taking these two provinces for yourself, are you? I understand you want to be the chairman of the provincial government, but these two places are in the hands of the Japanese."
Wu Zhenkui slammed on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road. If he continued driving, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the steering wheel and might really drive into the ditch. The suggestion put forward by Li Shaoyi was really shocking.
I have been with Li Shaoyi for some time, but I still can't stand his jumping thoughts, let alone those people I have never met before.
Li Sibei's eyes were fluttering beside him, not understanding how Li Shaoyi exercised his authority over those provinces?
"Why can't you two be more quick-witted? I was also a police chief before. How did you become the commissioner of the Jidong Special District? I just copied them. It's just that the Japanese in the north are slightly stronger. But now I'm not just a police chief. I'm the commander of the 72nd Brigade. What else is there to say? Just do it."
After listening to Li Shaoyi's words, Wu Zhenkui felt like his head was about to explode, but Li Sibei thought more simply and actually felt that what Li Shaoyi said was very reasonable.
"My dear brother, don't act rashly. The two provinces in the north are different from the Jidong Special District. After all, the Jidong Special District is located in the interior of the country, and the Japanese dare not provoke us too much. They have occupied Rehe and Chahar for a long time. If you launch an attack on them now, it may attract a large number of Japanese troops from the Northeast. Can you bear it? The 72nd Brigade is the foundation of your foothold in North China, and even the foundation of your foothold in the whole country. If you are defeated, then..."
Wu Zhenkui also regarded Li Shaoyi as a brother, otherwise he would not dare to say this, which made Li Shaoyi unhappy. He would not even be able to be brothers with him. Fortunately, Li Shaoyi was a broad-minded person and knew that Wu Zhenkui was doing it for his own good.
"I understand what you mean, but if you look at the map, these two provinces pose a serious threat to the security of North China. If there's any disturbance in North China, they can use these two provinces as bases and quickly advance into North China. This won't do us any good. Don't worry, I'm not some clueless rookie. If I were to take action against them, I would definitely be fully prepared. I'm also thinking about becoming the chairman of the provincial government, so I value my life much more than you do."
Li Shaoyi patted the seat and told the guy to drive quickly, otherwise he would miss the train.
"Then you can set up an office in Jinling, let me be the director, and let Xiao Wu be the deputy director. I will help you with this matter."
Wu Zhenkui hasn't discussed it with Li Shaoyi yet, but who knew that Li Sibei was already preparing to become the director? You two are both obsessed with power.
"I can consider it, but the problem is that my brigade is not qualified to set up an office in Nanjing."
Wu Zhenkui almost vomited blood. He thought Li Sibei was talking nonsense, but who knew that Li Shaoyi actually considered it seriously. Besides, even if an office was to be set up, why should she, a girl, be the director? It should be my father who should be the director.
"If you just let me be your office director, why would you even need to worry about the formalities in Jinling? Then I'd just be taking your salary for nothing. Leave this to me."
Li Sibei patted her chest and said this, which made Li Shaoyi take a second look. This little girl is indeed a good girl.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Not just anyone can be the director of this office. You have to be familiar with the Nanjing National Government and know how these things work. Actually, I think I should be the director..."
"You're not suitable. You're the secretary of the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, and you're so busy every day. If you hadn't had the opportunity to come to Pujiang with us this time, you wouldn't have any free time at all. I'm different. The Renaissance Society can do anything with me. When I get back, I'll go find Mr. Dai and fire me directly."
Wu Zhenkui was just about to fight for the position of office director, but was blocked by Li Sibei, and the reasons he gave were very convincing.
"She has a point. You should be the deputy director."
Wu Zhenkui wanted to say something, but Li Shaoyi had already made the decision.
On the surface, Li Sibei behaves like a young lady, but after Li Shaoyi's observation, he finds that she is actually quite strict and has her own opinions on some things. On the contrary, Wu Zhenkui thinks too much and doesn't dare to move forward boldly on some things.
But Li Sibei needed another assistant, and Wu Zhenkui was a good fit. The 72nd Independent Brigade's Jinling Office was established in a car on the way to Pujiang Railway Station. Of course, there were only two people in charge: the director and the deputy director...
