Chapter 498 Talking in Jinling
"Why didn't Secretary Yao come back with us?"
Seeing Li Shaoyi and Ma Leizi getting off the plane, and their entourage were all from the 72nd Division, Li Sibei said playfully.
"What does it have to do with me whether Secretary Yao comes back or not? Last time, he just happened to be on our plane. Do I have to wait for him specifically? The Police Headquarters doesn't pay me for this."
Li Shaoyi said unhappily that he didn't know what these women were fighting about. It had been going on for such a long time. It seemed that sometimes he had to let people like Jinling go to the front line to see what they were thinking. It was definitely not just about love affairs.
"So angry..."
Li Sibei said it in a low voice, but still led the way obediently.
"Remember to return the things your brother brought to your grandfather safely."
Li Shaoyi asked Ma Leizi to take out a box containing a Japanese major general's command sword.
Li Shaoyi stipulated that after these things captured on the battlefield were registered, part of them would belong to the army and part of them would belong to individuals. If someone really wanted something, after paying a certain amount of money, it would be yours.
As the commander of the Air Force, Li Qiankun naturally had no chance to fight the Japanese in person, but someone in the ground force seized such a knife, and it was an ordinary soldier.
According to calculations by some people in the logistics department, the value of this knife was five hundred dollars, and the person who seized it could get 20% of it, which was one hundred dollars. Li Qiankun immediately paid the remaining money.
There were many people eyeing this knife, but Li Qiankun was the Air Force Commander after all. After all, the war had been going on for so long, how important was air force support? Even if you used your toes to think about it, you could understand it very clearly. So in this situation, if he showed interest in it, could you fight him for it?
"My eldest brother bought this, right? Will my grandfather like it?"
Li Sibei was extremely smart and knew what was going on in an instant. When his two grandsons went to the north, the old man said that whoever had the ability to seize a Guandao would have his wish fulfilled.
"Your eldest brother did buy it, but considering the contributions he made, I think there would be nothing wrong with buying a sword belonging to a Japanese general, let alone a major general."
In just a few months, the 72nd Division Air Force has been established. Of course, there were many irregularities in the process of establishment, whether it was bribery or kidnapping. Anyway, the first batch of pilots were obtained by Li Qiankun, and later these talents were slowly trained by us.
In Li Shaoyi's mind, there were always many shameful things in the primitive accumulation stage. As long as our air force could be established and victory could be achieved on the battlefield, those embarrassing scenes could all be covered up.
"You think... My grandfather doesn't think so."
Li Sibei curled her lips, but still picked up the thing carefully. Some people in Jinling were willing to collect Japanese swords, but most of them collected lieutenant swords, and this general sword should be the first one.
"How is Old Wu doing in Pujiang?"
Li Shaoyi suddenly thought of Director Wu.
"What else can I do? I've been working with several government intelligence agencies to search for Japanese intelligence elements in Pujiang. We've been doing quite well lately. With Mr. Du's help, it's not as glorious as your time in Pujiang, but it's still much better than before."
Li Sibei looked at the knife and said, this is only for a girl from a military family. If it were anyone else, no one would like this thing, but would think it is a weapon.
"How's the troop infiltration going?"
During this period, Li Shaoyi was busy on the grassland, and because the Japanese were looking for trouble, he didn't pay attention to the Pujiang affairs. However, Li Shaoyi had been planning early on to let his people infiltrate, so when the war broke out here in the future, he could defeat the Japanese in one fell swoop.
"I'm not so optimistic. Although we formed the Public Security Brigade, the diehards in the local police stations are too powerful. Many of them are able to directly contact Jinling. Chief Wu has carried out several tough infiltrations, but he has only planted half of the people he originally planned. If he continues to infiltrate, it may provoke greater changes. So I told him to wait a while."
When talking about this matter, there was no smile on Li Sibei's face. When Li Shaoyi left, he had left nearly 5,000 armed personnel in Pujiang. The task given to Director Wu was not heavy. It would be enough to add a few hundred people every month.
It now seems that we have underestimated the inherent power in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The common people will praise you to the sky when they see you fighting the Russians and the Japanese in the north, but it is different for these vested interests. The first thing they consider is whether you will touch their interests.
They don't take every position in the police station seriously, unless it's a low-level soldier or an unimportant area. It's impossible to get other places. Every position has to be pulled back and forth.
"Halfway progress is good. It seems this guy is suitable. Jinling Police Department..."
Li Shaoyi suddenly thought of another thing. Since it is possible to expand to the entire Pujiang with Pujiang Police Station as the center, is it also possible in Jinling?
"You've met the Chief of the Jinling Police Department and the Chief of the Jinling Police Headquarters. Do you think you can infiltrate them with their qualifications?"
Li Sibei rolled her eyes. These people were his confidants during the Northern Expedition. The old man was not stupid. How could he give such an important position to others?
Li Shaoyi thought about it and was suddenly frightened by his own ambition. Perhaps he was too successful in all aspects and even wanted to extend his reach to Nanjing. The more than 200 security personnel in the office should be the maximum limit.
"There's a banquet at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tonight. They want to entertain all our participants. It should be a chance for everyone to get acquainted before negotiating with the Rakshasa people. Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be presiding over it personally."
According to previous practice, when the car was on the road, Li Sibei had to report some important itineraries to Li Shaoyi.
Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was one of the more than a dozen foreign ministers of the National Government.
Since taking office, he has adopted a tough diplomatic policy, such as "seeking political coordination with friendly countries on the basis of non-infringement of sovereignty; seeking economic cooperation with friendly countries on the principle of mutual benefit and equality; and resolving unequal treaties through legal means."
Li Shaoyi knew that his results were not good. He still had some courage to talk about this in this era, but he was just a little too arrogant...
