In the Li Shiqun Mansion in Suzhou Tianxiang Xiaozhu, he was negotiating with Cai Lian, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Provisional Independent Special Service, which was one of the few elite special forces under him.

It turned out that this fourth brigade was the brave detachment of the Shancheng government, that is, the guerrillas, and was called the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Border Regions of Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui Provinces after Li Shiqun's rebellion.

Li Shiqun has always wanted to form his own army, but the problem is that not only the high-ranking military generals of Wang's puppet government do not agree, but even the Japanese do not support it, so he can only set up a special force, and whether it is weapons, ammunition or military salaries, it will be greatly restricted.

"Director, after receiving your order, I have taken my staff officer to Siming Mountain in eastern Zhejiang to conduct a field investigation, it is indeed a good place to attack, retreat and defend, but it is the territory of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Command, and there are underground party guerrillas operating around, and the situation is also very complicated."

"The territory of our Fourth Brigade is Zhuji, and it is not justified in the name of carrying out activities in the vicinity of Siming Mountain, unless we can get an order from above to transfer the Fourth Brigade to participate in the encirclement and suppression of underground party guerrillas, it will be very difficult to achieve the predetermined goal." Cai Lian said.

Li Shiqun's plan to establish his own military base in the Siming Mountain area was just an idea before, but after the abolition of the Qingxiang Committee, he had a premonition that danger was coming, and he began to implement the action.

He sent Cai Lian, commander of the Fourth Brigade, who knew military affairs, to survey the terrain in Siming Mountain, and if the Japanese and the Jinling government forcibly removed him from the post of provincial chairman, he would take his team to the military base to divide the territory and become king.

An army is not something that can be formed casually, and if you want to have this kind of power, you need money, and a lot of money, and no amount of money is enough.

For example, weapons and equipment, military uniforms, military salaries and rations, as well as supporting vehicles, communication tools, medical care, military camps, etc., spending money is like flowing water.

Li Shiqun is an extremely greedy guy, he gritted his teeth when he looked at his daily expenses, and he also had millions of dollars in assets, but when it came to army building, it was not enough, and he relied on the finances of the Soviet Province to support the armed forces in his hands.

"If you want to have a name to go to the Siming Mountain area, it is not a difficult thing, as long as there is turmoil in that area, in the name of the border area of Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, you can be directly transferred over, there is no need to ask the staff headquarters." Li Shiqun said.

"We don't have our own arsenal, the replenishment of weapons and ammunition is the biggest problem, and there are too few heavy weapons, so if we want to form combat effectiveness, we have to get mortars and heavy machine guns." Cai Lian said.

"I have channels, the first division stationed in Hangzhou, the second division stationed in Changshu, and the third division stationed in Suzhou can all buy guns and ammunition, and there are also people in the third theater who secretly sell weapons, as long as you give money, you can buy anything, but transportation is a troublesome matter."

"The gendarmerie has now stepped up its surveillance of us, even the Southeast Trading Company, and if these guns and ammunition are discovered by the Japanese, it will be a big deal. You take this month's military salary, go back to recruit troops and horses first, I will solve this problem, remember, you can't recruit some villagers who can only eat and can't fight. Li Shiqun said.

Who can help him transport weapons and equipment to Siming Mountain under the supervision of the gendarmerie?

Of course, it is Chen Mingxiang, and only Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company transport fleet has such conditions, who in the gendarmerie dares to check his goods?

"Shi Qun, yesterday afternoon, Shen Gengmei sent a telegram, saying that Wan Lilang and Chen Gongshu were seconded by Ming Xiang to Shanghai for a few days to compile the teaching materials of the police academy." Ye Jiqing said.

"It's nothing more than writing a secret agent manual, what is it, he can adjust it if he wants to! The Higher Police School of the Department of Police Affairs will be formally established on 1 July, and the teaching materials will be provided by Japanese criminal investigation experts and instructors from outside the Kansai Department. ”

"This kid has a lot of ghost eyes, he must think that the faces of the major intelligence departments in Central China are not good-looking, so he added some content, after all, the situation inside and outside the customs is different, and the anti-Japanese organization activities in Central China are more rampant, and the scale is much larger than that outside the Guan."

"Originally, Chen Mingxiang wanted to train backbone police officers for the Police Division, and also to produce results, but several Japanese military intelligence agencies have been eyeing this school and want to train the trainees in it to become agents, and most of the content of the training is to deal with the underground party and military commanders."

"You prepare a batch of dollar antiques for me, and when I attend the opening ceremony, I want to make a deal with Chen Mingxiang, I need to use the acquisition stations and branches of Huatong Trading Company to help transport weapons and ammunition, you arrange reliable people, first go to Simingshan to hide, and wait for my order to receive supplies."

"Also, you secretly prepare a set of real estate in Shanghai, and hide part of our valuables and gold dollar transfers, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, I also have to take precautions in advance, this is the capital for a comeback in the future, even your brother can't tell it." Li Shiqun said.

His mind was full of fighting hard for his power and status, and he didn't find some abnormal changes in his wife, at this extremely dangerous time, Ye Jiqing didn't persuade him to retreat bravely, this is a very strange thing.

Of course, although Ye Jiqing has already derailed substantially, she still has deep feelings for Li Shiqun, and her lover is just a substitute she is looking for, the reason for this is a little difficult to say, she is a beautiful and normal woman, less than forty years old, and she also has her own needs.

Moreover, she never thought that the Japanese would kill Li Shiqun, or that both of them thought that Li Shiqun was absolutely safe before he was relieved of his position as chairman of the Soviet Province.

Li Shiqun was a member of the Standing Committee of the Jinling Government, a military commissar, chairman of the Soviet Provincial Committee, director of the Department of Investigation and Statistics, and director of the secret service headquarters.

"Director, Minister Zhou didn't talk much with me last night, he just said that if there is a personnel change in the secret service headquarters, he will consider me, but I am not the only candidate." Wan Lilang came to Chen Mingxiang's office and said.

"Wan Lilang, you are an outstanding senior agent, your professional ability is among the best among the thousands of agents in the secret service headquarters, your analysis and judgment are very accurate, and you have extraordinary patience in doing things, which are your advantages."

"But the problem is, you are so good, but you have not been favored by big people for a long time, and you have missed opportunities every time you have not been promoted, have you never thought about why?" Chen Mingxiang said lightly.
