Chapter 380 Let Him Come to Jinling
After a press conference, people across the country basically knew that the 72nd Division was ready for battle. This was not a border conflict in the north, but a war about the gains and losses of the Huns.
After breaking away from the Huns, the common people did not actually forget about it. Rather, the warlords in the country were constantly fighting each other, and they could not even take care of themselves, let alone the Huns' grasslands in the north.
Therefore, when many officials mentioned this matter, they were basically vague in their words. Many ordinary people also knew that there was no hope. They thought that Li Shaoyi would deal with it coldly. Unexpectedly, Li Shaoyi faced it directly, which made his reputation in the country reach a higher level.
Many people have spread the word that Li Shaoyi is the heavenly soldier who has come down to earth to rescue us. We have suffered enough. Following such a man, we can even take back the Huns, let alone our current land. The foreigners have suffered a lot at the hands of Li Shaoyi. This must be God's will.
Not to mention this era, even in the 21st century, many superstitions still exist, and they are even more serious in today's era. As long as you can connect with God's will, no matter what you do, it is right.
So under this kind of transmission, the armies in various places began to expand rapidly. As long as it was the various recruitment locations under the 72nd Division, there were basically long queues. Anyway, there were plenty of vacancies now. As long as your identity and physical condition were fine, you could be pulled in and start training.
As for how much money is needed to support these troops, Li Shaoyi has no worries at all. Not to mention the system, his ability to make money is enough to support these people. What's more, food, clothing and other daily necessities basically cost nothing. At most, he can give the soldiers some military pay, and if it is not enough, he can exchange it with points.
Jinling Military and Political Department
"This kid is so outrageous. He didn't even bother talking to anyone about it, and he just threw the ball at our feet. He just scolded me in front of the old man, and now he has no choice?"
After Minister He got out of the car, he kept cursing. Li Shaoyi's butterfly wings finally blew up to Nanjing.
Everyone is keeping an eye on the Japanese. Now that the Japanese have finally calmed down, we can have a few days of peace and quiet. But who knew that Li Shaoyi, this restless guy, would actually ignite the war again in the north.
We are not afraid of the cavalry of the Outer Xiongnu. Even without the 72nd Division, our army can still defeat them. But the problem is what about the Rakshasa army behind the Outer Xiongnu? Can Li Shaoyi win?
"This time it's really outrageous, putting us in a very passive position. However, the Xiongnu have formed a coalition army. If we don't respond, it will be difficult to explain to the people back home. This is what the committee members submitted. Some radical elements even asked us to send troops north to set up a bureaucracy in the Xiongnu and directly govern them."
Deputy Minister Wu first scolded Li Shaoyi, and then brought some other materials. In today's era, scholars in society still have a very high status, and basically hold important positions in various central committees. After learning about what happened in the north, they immediately picked up the pen in their hands. Sometimes this pen can kill more than a gun.
"These intellectuals always think that just by saying something, the Chinese nation can recover and revitalize. How can that be so easy? If that were the case, the Nanjing Nationalist Government should have announced upon its establishment that it did not recognize these agreements. But would it be any use if we didn't? If we did, this regime wouldn't last even three months."
Minister He sat helplessly in his seat and threw his glasses on the table. He really had a headache. When they opposed the Beiyang government in the past, they always felt that the people in the Beiyang government were incompetent. Now that they have come to power, they feel incompetent instead. If they had a choice, they really wanted someone to tell them what to do.
"Send him a telegram asking him to attend the meeting of the Military and Political Department next Monday."
After about a minute, none of the six or seven generals in the room knew what to say, and finally Minister He said this.
Minister He might not be able to easily get other provincial governors to come to Nanjing, but it was different for Li Shaoyi. His air force and airline companies had both grown to a large scale, and it would only take a few hours for them to come to Nanjing.
"We must ask him to come to Jinling in person."
Deputy Minister Wu also nodded beside him. When the director of the secretariat saw that the two big men had nodded, he immediately went down to convey the order.
Seeing that the two bosses had reached an agreement, the others decided not to stay there and hurried to organize the materials needed for the next meeting.
"It's easy to get him to attend the meeting, but we have to be on our guard. This guy now controls two provinces. Will he be required to reorganize the organization again?"
Deputy Minister Wu said in a low voice. Minister He, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing this. Now this guy has one division, three brigades and twelve regiments, which is already quite deadly.
In addition to the regular army, there are also a large number of security groups and garrisons in various places. If all those people are added together, Li Shaoyi can gather an army of more than 100,000.
"Why does he want to organize it? Doesn't he have enough people now? According to the regulations, we can only form a security regiment, but this guy is so good as to make trouble for me and form a security brigade."
Minister He said angrily that according to the requirements of the National Government, the security corps could not leave the local area and could only exercise power locally. If they wanted to go to other places, they had to ask for approval from their superiors.
A security brigade can be established and can enforce the law in other places. However, after the security brigade takes away the security regiment in the original station, most places are unable to build a second security regiment. But Li Shaoyi is different. As long as the security brigade is transferred away, the local security regiment will be immediately rebuilt.
"According to our established regulations, each province must have at least one division or brigade stationed. You'd better make plans early. I'm sure he'll definitely bring this up when he arrives."
Deputy Minister Wu thought for a moment and said, "Li Shaoyi now controls two provinces and twenty-two counties. If we only give him one infantry division, no matter how bloated its organization, he will definitely cause trouble..."
