Chapter 711: 1 Heart for the Public
Of course, the 29th Army was unable to resist the Japanese army. It was not that they did not want to resist, but that their strength was not enough. If they had all kinds of weapons and equipment like Li Shaoyi and had money, the 29th Army would be just as tough in North China.
"Also, try your best to mediate between the Central Army and the 29th Army. There will definitely be conflicts between them. I've also spoken to Deputy Minister Wu in Nanjing. He will put pressure on the Central Army over there, but we still need to find a mediator locally, so I recommended you."
After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, Mayor Yuan really admired Li Shaoyi.
In this era, everyone puts their own interests first. According to Li Shaoyi's current situation, he was tricked by Jinling, but he was still able to think of local characters. If this kind of person is not wholeheartedly serving the country, then who is wholeheartedly serving the country?
"Brother, I really admire your mentality. I've been in office for so many years, but when I was eighteen or nineteen, I might have dared to compete with you. But now, my mentality is so embarrassing!"
Mayor Yuan stood up very solemnly and bowed to Li Shaoyi.
"No, no, no, we were just having a good chat. If you're going to do this, then I don't dare to talk about the rest of my story. It's all the ravages of time. Maybe when I reach your age, there are some things I can't say anymore."
What Li Shaoyi said was the truth. The reason why he dared to serve the public wholeheartedly was because he had a systematic control, coupled with various ideas of rebirth. If he had continued to live in this era, he might also consider his own various interests. How could he be worthy of such a great gift?
"It's impossible for me to do what you did, but if you want to always be so devoted to the country and the public, even though I may not be very capable as your brother, I will definitely do my utmost to protect you."
Mayor Yuan said very emotionally that he actually understood what was happening to him. To put it bluntly, he had seen too much and was a little timid. There were many things he knew how to do but he just didn't dare to do them.
The appearance of Li Shaoyi can be regarded as a guide. When he dares not to do something or does not want to do something, he will look at what Li Shaoyi does and know what to do next.
In short, Mayor Yuan had already made up his mind at this moment. As long as what Li Shaoyi did was for the country and the people, he would do his best to help Li Shaoyi accomplish it, just as he said. It would not be a waste of his life.
"It's not that serious. After my troops withdraw, there will be many Japanese spies in North China. I plan to place some people in various government agencies. Don't worry, this is not for power struggles. After they go in, they will also monitor these Japanese spies from all aspects."
After Li Shaoyi finished talking about national justice, it was time for him to take care of his own business.
What happened in the island city made him realize that these spies were by no means small-time operations. In fact, they had considerable influence in various places. In addition, they were supported by some traitors. If they were not dug out, they would bring us all kinds of troubles when war broke out in the future.
Taking advantage of the fact that the 72nd Army was retreating and the Japanese were a little too proud of themselves, Li Shaoyi placed some people from the Military Intelligence Department in. This was also an opportunity.
"No problem. I will personally place them in the department you want. I have some connections in Peking over the years, so I can do it without leaving any trace."
If there were more people, Mayor Yuan might not have the ability to do this, but there are only more than 30 people here, so there is no problem. The entire government agency in Peiping is very bloated. There are six members and three directors in one office. Isn’t it easy to place a few people there?
The two of them drank until the afternoon when Li Shaoyi said goodbye.
Railway Station Police Station
According to the agreement, the police station was not within the scope of negotiation, so Li Shaoyi chose to stay there.
The previous squadron leader has gone to the north to take up a post. Talents emerge in every generation, and the person in charge of the railway station police station now is Xie Junran.
He was born in the Peking Military Academy, but because of his poor family background, he dropped out after only one year. He started as a small patrolman and now runs a successful business.
"Compared to what I had back then, your situation here is even worse than it was back then. When I left, I estimated that at least 4,000 Japs would try to attack. I wouldn't let them even set foot in the train station square. With your current deployment, there will be at least twice as many Japs."
All the buildings around the railway station police station have been bought, so in the recent period, whether it is the previous police chief or Xie Junran, their job is only one, and that is to strengthen the surrounding defenses as much as possible.
"Don't praise me, Marshal. I just picked up a piece of fat meat. The previous Chief Liu did the most. All the gray parts above were built by Chief Liu. I just simply reinforced it."
Xie Junran said somewhat embarrassedly, if it is our credit, we will acknowledge it, if it is not our credit, we cannot grab it randomly, this is also the rule within the 72nd Army. Although they are wearing police uniforms, Xie Junran understands that we are also part of the 72nd Army, even the core.
"You have made contributions but are not greedy for them. You are a good seedling. Work hard here. You will have a bright future."
Li Shaoyi looked around with a telescope and praised his men. He said that this was where he started his career, so they should pay more attention. Almost every officer who came out of here had his own story within the 72nd Army.
When Xie Junran saw Li Shaoyi frowning, he also understood what was going on.
The Japanese military camps around the railway station police station had long been destroyed by them. After the new agreement was signed, there were no Japanese troops along the Jingfeng Railway.
But unexpectedly, it has made a comeback. The Japanese knew the power of the railway station police station, so the original military camp was directly abandoned, and a new military camp was rebuilt 1,500 meters south of the original military camp.
In order not to overly stimulate the people at the railway station police station, the new military camp did not have any hostility towards the railway station police station. Instead, they came to report any incidents. The Japanese were very good at doing these things to cover up their tracks.
"The people from Jinling and the 29th Army are not very resolute after all. Remember one thing. I can let them build this barracks, but I want something to happen every day. Remember, every day..."
Li Shaoyi snorted coldly. "I'm not afraid of a large number of devils, but I'm sorry for my ancestors if I don't cause trouble for you, a small railway station guard camp..."
