Chapter 712 Educating Brothers
"Then you see, brothers, we are retreating north with all our might, but we dare not act without orders from above. Now that you have said this, if we let these devils have a good life, I will cut off my head and use it as your chamber pot."
Xie Junran said with a ferocious look on his face.
Even though there are only a few hundred people in the railway station police station, we still have quite a few people inside the Peking police station. If a real fight breaks out, we can flatten this newly established Japanese military camp in minutes.
We're not the Central Army or the 29th Army. We'll fight you if we want to. Didn't you see how many devils we killed in the north? If you want to negotiate diplomatically, that's exactly what we want. We'll kill your men and make you pay. This is what you Japanese have gotten.
Li Shaoyi also knew that Xie Junran was not an easy person to deal with. If he put this guy in the Peking Police Station, the Japanese would be in trouble. So he did not stay in Beijing that night and went directly to Chahar.
At the base camp in Chahar, Li Shaoyi met with Chief of Staff Cui and his men, and gave everyone a few words of instruction before leaving.
Although the battlefield in the north is relatively calm, when Li Shaoyi shows up in Southeast Asia, the Russians and Japanese may become restless. They believe that the current 72nd Army is leaderless, which may be an excellent opportunity to attack.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Let me say a few words..."
Looking at these arrogant and brave soldiers under his command without any worries, Li Shaoyi's forehead was full of black lines. After telling them about the danger, these people even urged Li Shaoyi to leave as soon as possible. Some people even wanted to spread the news of Li Shaoyi's departure as soon as possible. If you are not in the north, the Russians and Japanese will attack. What can we do then?
Since the armistice, all the troops under my command have been training, but their hands are almost peeling from training. We have no enemies, and even the instructors feel that continuing the training is a bit too much.
Now the brothers have mastered the training camp very accurately. What is needed now is not to continue training, but to have a group of enemies coming outside so that we can actually practice on the battlefield. That would be much better than continuing training.
After hearing Li Shaoyi's words, everyone quieted down and waited to see what Li Shaoyi had to say.
"I know you're all strong and powerful now, and you're thinking about your origins. You can kill a tiger with one punch, but let me be frank. This time when I go to Southeast Asia, you can only stay near your own military camp. If someone attacks, you must defend it. No matter how many people attack, you must defend it. But after you defend the military camp, no one can pursue me."
In Li Shaoyi's view, being able to maintain the current basic situation is already a victory. If he wants to pursue the victory, victory is certainly good, but if he fails, it will affect Li Shaoyi's next series of plans.
"What the Marshal wants to say is what I want to say too. After the Marshal leaves, if any of you disobey my orders, don't blame me for writing them down in my little notebook. When the Marshal comes back, we'll settle the accounts."
Chief of Staff Cui threw a notebook on the table. He also knew that with his own ability, he might not be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals, especially Tang Guoping and Liu Xiaoshan who had made contributions on the battlefield.
"Did you understand what the Chief of Staff said?"
"Yes."
More than a dozen senior officers stood up and saluted in unison. Li Shaoyi also gave them a heads-up in advance. We have already said the ugly words in advance. If they don't obey orders and disrupt the entire battle situation, we will settle the accounts with them one by one after the Marshal returns from Southeast Asia.
"You two stay, and the rest of you go out. We'll have dinner tonight."
Li Shaoyi knew what the chief of staff meant. Although the others had tempers, the chief of staff was able to suppress them. However, Tang Guoping and Liu Xiaoshan were different. These two were Li Shaoyi's eight brothers. They had been together in the early years and now had the greatest achievements on the battlefield. They were very respectful to the scholar-official chief of staff on the surface, but what was going on behind the scenes? Only they knew.
"Brother, why are you keeping us here? We're like young wives, controlling ourselves in everything and daring not to make any mistakes. If anyone below violates the telegram sent from headquarters, I'll immediately put them under military court."
Without so many people around, Tang Guoping spoke more casually. He took out a cigarette and quickly offered it to Li Shaoyi.
"Brother Guoping is right, big brother, don't listen to the nonsense of those staff officers. We have always listened to you since we were young. You can't forget this, right?"
Liu Xiaoshan quickly took out his lighter and lit it for Li Shaoyi very attentively. Normally, he was a hero in his respective team, but in front of Li Shaoyi, he was just a little brother.
"Stop talking nonsense, you two. I'm holding this meeting today primarily for you. Those people may be proud, but they don't dare to act recklessly. You two, relying on your relationship with me and your accumulated military merits, have caused so much trouble. Don't you think I don't know?"
Li Shaoyi said very sternly that although he was in the south, he would report on the happenings on the northern grassland every three hours.
The two of them would often create friction in the border area of the grassland. Although the scale was not large, they would cross the border and rob in the territory of Luosha. Such things happened almost every day.
The two of them called it training new recruits!
If it were in the past, Li Shaoyi would have agreed to such an action, but now we can't make a big deal out of it. We must not neglect the details. If one detail is not maintained and the war in the north is triggered, Li Shaoyi's actions in Southeast Asia will end hastily.
Although the two men looked like powerful generals in public, after hearing what Li Shaoyi said, they stood still like children who had made a mistake.
"Alright, alright, stop being so pathetic and sit down."
Li Shaoyi knew these two brothers quite well, and he had to put a tight rein on them. They didn't have that much courage originally, but victory after victory made them braver.
"I'm telling you two, everyone in Luosha is holding their breath. You've seen how quickly the troops in the Far East and East Siberia Military Districts are increasing. If a war breaks out in the future, even if you throw in all your forces, you may not be able to win..."
