Chapter 930 Maritime Transport Department
"The meeting is scheduled for..."
"Let's not schedule the meeting yet. Go home first. You've been away for so long, and you're newlywed after all. If you rush into the operations room right after you get back, your wife will probably be worried. I'm even skipping dinner for you today."
Li Shaoyi was just about to talk about the next arrangements, but he didn't know that Chief of Staff Cui had already made them.
Miss Yu had already married Li Shaoyi, so she was taken to the Chahar base. This was also for safety reasons. Li Shaoyi could be with her at other times, but not during the period of fighting in Tianjin.
Even in the base at Tianjin Airport, Japanese bombs and artillery shells could fall on his head at any time. These things have no eyes. If they fall around him, Li Shaoyi's body has been systematically transformed, and his chances of survival are relatively high, thanks to his wife's delicate skin.
But he didn't have the ability to escape, so no matter how much his wife begged, Li Shaoyi still sent her back to the Chahar base.
"That's fine, then I'll be a tyrant for once, and put beauty first and the country second."
Li Shaoyi's words amused everyone present. When passing by the headquarters, the chief of staff and his men got off first, and then Li Shaoyi came to the small villa behind the headquarters. Although this place was located in the northern part of the Great Wall, the place where Li Shaoyi lived was a first-class place.
There is lush greenery everywhere, and there are some plants transplanted from the south. Chief of Staff Cui has put a lot of thought into making Li Shaoyi's wife live more comfortably here.
According to the chief of staff, our Marshal often said that while other people's men are fighting on the front lines against the Japanese, we must find ways to ensure the lives of their families. For the Marshal, this is the same as for ordinary soldiers.
So no matter how many requests the lady has, we will try our best to satisfy them. The chief of staff has made a big enough concession, but Miss Yu did not bother the chief of staff. Whether it is building a building or decorating it, they use their own private money and try not to use public money.
In other words, in terms of security, the headquarters needs to send guards over. After all, no matter how Miss Yu's personal bodyguards are trained, they can never catch up with the guards under Li Shaoyi.
"You're back..."
Li Shaoyi had just gotten off the car when he felt the fragrance of flowers blowing into his arms. His wife usually looked very decent, but at this moment her face was covered with tears.
"What's there to cry about? I'm just directing the battle at the army headquarters. Do you really think I'm going to fight the Japanese with my bayonet? If the war really came to that point, I'm afraid our 72nd Army would have collapsed long ago."
Li Shaoyi could feel the care of the woman in his arms. He thought it was normal. No matter whether they were rich ladies or ordinary peasant women, when their men were fighting desperately on the battlefield, these women's hearts were always in their throats. It would be fine if they didn't know about life on the front line.
But Miss Yu would go to the headquarters every day to listen to telegrams from the front line, which was also allowed by Li Shaoyi.
Whenever she heard about the tense war situation in Tianjin, Miss Yu couldn't sleep for nights and lost a lot of hair during this period.
Since the day of retreat from Tianjin, Miss Yu has been counting on her fingers, wondering when Li Shaoyi would come back. She didn't expect that today he would show up at the door without any notice.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? I didn't even get dressed."
After a long while, Yu Qiuer finally struggled out of Li Shaoyi's arms, and then she remembered that she had not put on makeup in the morning.
"What's there to dress up for? You'll always be the most beautiful in my eyes. We've just upgraded our wartime mechanisms. It's not just mine, but everyone above the rank of general is forbidden from revealing them to the public. As their commander, I must lead by example. But don't worry, our air force is the most advanced in Asia."
Li Shaoyi had experienced how powerful the Japanese assassination technology was. In order to prevent problems from occurring to our commanders, Li Shaoyi issued the strictest orders regarding the formation of commanders. Unless you were someone who needed to know, no extra person could leak the information.
"As long as it's for your safety, any decision is fine. Go home and get some rest. This is your first time seeing our home here. Do you know what I like most about this place? It's because the land here is big enough. Look at the little vegetable garden I made myself."
Yu Qiuer also wanted to help Li Shaoyi relax, so she quickly instructed the family to take over Li Shaoyi's luggage. Next to them was Miss Yu's small vegetable garden.
"It's all my fault. You used to live in the bustling Pujiang, so naturally you like the bustling city life. Now I have to come to Saibei, where there aren't that many entertainment facilities. But don't worry, in just half a year at most, I'll turn this place into another Pujiang."
Li Shaoyi said with great confidence that although this is the northern part of the Great Wall, it has an element that no other city has, which is that it is extremely safe.
After Pujiang falls, perhaps many wealthy people will bravely head to the mountain city, but some will also come here. By then, although this city will not be as prosperous as Pujiang, it will also be among the major cities in the north.
"I don't like Pujiang at all. I actually like the quietness of these places. There are too many people in Pujiang, and there are endless things to deal with every day. Now I feel comfortable here, but I don't know about my father's side."
Yu Qiuer was a little worried about her father. As the president of the Pujiang Shipping Chamber of Commerce, the Japanese would definitely try their best to win him over. After learning that he was Li Shaoyi's father-in-law, this winover might turn into an assassination.
"Don't worry about that. I've already issued a letter of appointment, appointing my father-in-law as the Minister of Maritime Transportation of the 72nd Army. In the coming days, all maritime transportation work of our 72nd Army will be handed over to my father-in-law, and his shipping company will also be incorporated into our 72nd Army Maritime Transportation Department. If the safety of the Minister of Transportation of our 72nd Army is still a concern, then our 72nd Army's reputation should be destroyed."
With the rapid development of overseas business, the Ministry of Maritime Transport also had to appoint a minister. Li Shaoyi immediately thought of his father-in-law. It would be a waste of resources to leave such a capable person unused.
