Chapter 709 New Way
North China Security Command
Song Xulong looked at the soldiers who were deciding on the plaques with some worry. Great changes had taken place in North China, and he had also changed. He was transferred by Li Shaoyi and was directly arranged to be the security commander.
He had originally planned to go to the north to fight, but just as he had this idea, Li Shaoyi received a new transfer order.
He is also an old man who followed Li Shaoyi to start his career in the early years. He also has his own abilities in military affairs, but his problem is that he has bad luck and has never had the opportunity to show his abilities. That is why he was arranged to be the commander of this security command. If he had any military merits, they would not be much less than those of Tang Guoping.
"Why? Not satisfied with this position?"
The news reported that Li Shaoyi was still in Pujiang, preparing to move south, but the real person had already arrived outside the North China Security Command. Li Shaoyi knew that many people were dissatisfied with the army's retreat in North China, so he had to come in person to meet with the main personnel.
As for the publicity in newspapers and radio, it was purely for the sake of Li Shaoyi's safety. There were countless people from all over the country who wanted Li Shaoyi's head, and they were trying to find a way in Pujiang and Jinling at the moment. They would never know even if they racked their brains that Li Shaoyi had already arrived somewhere in North China.
"Marshal, if you say you don't have any ideas, I'd be lying. My brothers are all charging forward on the battlefield, and you want me to be the security commander? I have neither soldiers nor money. We have the Central Army in the south and the 29th Army in the rear. I'm just a security commander, raised by a woman. How can I have the opportunity to show my skills?"
Song Xulong said with a bitter face, of course there was nothing wrong with what he said. If the 3rd Infantry Division was still stationed here, then he, as the security commander, would have great power. There were more than 20 security groups in various places. No matter whether it was the Central Army or the 29th Army, they had to act according to his mood.
But now the Public Security Command is just an empty shell. Apart from the 500 guards under its command, there are also people from local police stations. Those people have to maintain public security in various places and cannot all be used to fight, unless you want to turn society into a mess.
"I'm here to meet you, right? So, of course I have to do something extraordinary for you."
Li Shaoyi said in a low voice, and Song Xulong's eyes immediately lit up.
It is said that our Marshal has many clever ideas. Song Xulong has seen this before, especially his ability to lead a team. Now this security headquarters is an empty shell, but it is hard to say what it will look like in a while.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk. There are so many people here, maybe there are Japanese spies."
Song Xulong also saw in the past two days that after the 72nd Army retreated, the Japanese spies who had disappeared began to make a comeback in the past two days, making anti-spy organizations in various places busy and panic.
"Marshal, please speak frankly."
As soon as he entered the office, Song Xulong couldn't help himself. He was now eager to expand his strength. Originally, he and his brothers were of average height, but now they have become division commanders and have tens of thousands of troops under their command. Compared with them, we are really far behind.
"You're so impatient! You're the one who's going to be in charge in North China. Our open army has retreated, so why don't you just secretly raise one?"
Li Shaoyi looked at Song Xulong now and shook his head helplessly. He thought about when we were in the Beiping Police Station, there were only one or two hundred people. You were a very smart guy, but why are you not smart now?
"You mean the police? The agreement clearly states everything. All the personnel are tied up tightly. If I find one more person, someone will probably complain to Jinling immediately, which will affect our overall situation."
Song Xulong said with a bitter face that Li Shaoyi had made his fortune by relying on the police force, which had already served as a wake-up call to people everywhere. Now the rulers of various places had already incorporated the police force into the scope of the armed forces. Anyone who wanted to follow Li Shaoyi's path would basically fail.
"Or else you're just a bit of a stickler? Look at this piece of paper. Are the only people who can get guns in the police station?"
Li Shaoyi asked Wang Manli to take out a piece of paper from her briefcase. When Song Xulong saw the teams on it, his eyes lit up.
Take Baoding where he is located for example. It is a place with relatively complete institutions. In addition to the garrison and police station, there are also various miscellaneous troops.
For example, the Financial Audit Team!
Tax escort team!
Salt Inspection Team!
Municipal Inspection Team!
And so on and so forth, seven or eight in total.
"Fifteen people... twenty-one people... thirty people..."
Behind each team, the organization and number of people were written out for you. Song Xulong was also calculating in a low voice. When he finally figured out the number, he was dumbfounded. In a small Baoding Prefecture, this team could gather more than 300 people.
There will definitely be fewer people in other counties, but it will be no problem to get 70 or 80 people in the end.
If you add them all up, it is definitely not a small number, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, where there are even more such teams. In order to have armed forces, various departments have applied for a lot of armed teams.
"No need to calculate. I've already done the math for you. If you add up all the miscellaneous troops in North China, you can definitely muster an army of 10,000. Also, the major universities in Peking have nursing teams, also known as security departments. If you include them, 13,000 or 14,000 wouldn't be enough."
As Li Shaoyi spoke, Song Xulong's eyes lit up. He was still worried about this matter before, but he didn't expect that our Marshal would come up with another way. As long as we move forward slowly along this way, will we still worry about not being able to gather troops?
"Oh, Marshal, you are so smart. I have been worried for days, my hair is turning white, but I have no idea what to do. You came to me, it really did a great job."
Song Xulong was so happy that he almost cried. Although the teams were not in his hands, as long as he had such a direction, he would know how to work hard. If he couldn't even do this, let alone being a security commander, he would not even be qualified to wash Li Shaoyi's car.
"I'm just giving you a direction. What to do next is up to you. You have to remember that the various armed forces in Peking and Tianjin are all in the hands of the powerful. It's not easy to conquer these people. Your future path will be very difficult..."
Li Shaoyi patted Song Xulong on the shoulder, but Song Xulong was still very optimistic. Although there are difficulties, we are not stupid...
