In the subordinate department of the North China Front Army Headquarters in Beiping, Shan County Yongnan sat behind his desk with an expressionless face, he had already practiced the ability to be invisible, even his orderly, he couldn't judge what his commander was feeling at the moment.

Yama County Yongnan is an extremely deep-minded person, and a small orderly naturally can't know his heart. In fact, Shan County is sitting in this office today, and it is not as proud as the outside world rumores. To be precise, Shan County doesn't care about his position as the so-called deputy minister of public security.

He is not a person who values the authority in front of him very much, and he cares more about his future than the power in front of him. Although he was already entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Terauchi Shouichi at a young age, he was not satisfied with this at all in his heart, and Yamaguchi had great ambitions to become a famous general who would usher in a new era in Japan.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Minister, please come over."

Just as Yama was reading the report handed in by Fujino, a correspondent came over and said to Yama Prefecture.

"I see."

Shan County said lightly, but did not get up immediately. The "minister" in the mouth of this correspondent is none other than the nominal top boss of the county county, the minister of public security, Qi Xieyuan.

Qi Xieyuan can be said to be a figure, born in 1879, an old man of the direct warlord of Beiyang, and also a few influential political figures who defected to the Japanese army after the start of the all-out war. Speaking of which, when the Beiyang warlords were in their heyday, Qi Xieyuan was not a great character at all, but his greatest ability was to drill the camp.

In fact, there are two sides to everything, take the drill camp as an example, if a person has a bad reputation, it is called a drill camp if he climbs up by means. But if you change to a person with a good reputation, then using means to climb up is called progress. Perhaps if Qi Xieyuan hadn't taken refuge in the Japanese, his early experience might have been passed on as a good story.

In the early years, Qi Xieyuan was inferior in both stature and appearance, he was thin and small, and one eye was slanted, and when he reported to the Baoding Army Officer Academy, it was said that his appearance was not qualified at all, but he was able to speak amazing words, and the two sentences of "although the student is small but ambitious like a bird" and "the student's eyes are slanted but can see far" were appreciated by the instructor. This ability to argue can be seen.

Later, he graduated and entered the army. His clever argument also made Qi Xieyuan repeatedly appreciated, so that in the later period of the Beiyang warlords, many high-ranking and powerful old people were thrown into the wilderness by internal friction, and he Qi Xieyuan took advantage of the situation to lead the coquettish for a while.

For such a person, Shan Shan Yongnan's heart is actually somewhat disdainful, thinking that he is just a substitute after the Japanese army failed to recruit Xu Shichang, Cao Kun, Jin Yunpeng and others. But even so, Shan County Yongnan has to admit that Qi Xieyuan still has something in his stomach, and many of his ideas about the preparation of the North China Security Army can even coincide with himself. Every time I think of this, there will be a trace of hidden pain in the heart of the brave man of Shan County.

"No wonder China has been called the Magnificent Huaxia since ancient times, and even a third-rate person can have such insight. If Chinese one day we work together as one, then this war will ...... I will not allow that day to come! ”

Shanxian gritted his teeth fiercely, but he still made up his mind to have a good relationship with Qi Xieyuan. The other party can be regarded as a talent, and befriending him can set an example for the Chinese, even if he disdains this traitor in his heart, he still decided to let the other party be this golden horse bone.

……

"Mr. Shan County, you are here, sit down. Oh, Lieutenant General Tada has mentioned you to me emphatically, praising you as one of the few young talents in the imperial army, and let me listen to your teachings more. ”

Qi Xieyuan's office door was open, and as soon as the figure of Shan County Yongnan appeared on the other side of the corridor, he had already seen it, and hurriedly walked out of his office door to greet him, and took the initiative to pull out the chair for the other party after bringing it to his office.

Shan County couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the other party is really not a simple person, and he can give up such an identity and face to him, a nominal subordinate.

"Minister Qi is polite, you are a friend and partner of the empire, and you are the governor of Shanxian County, and Shanxian County can't be rude to you."

While speaking, Shan County took the initiative to salute Qi Xieyuan, and then went to shake the other party's hand, but he did not sit down first.

"Hah...... Haha, yes, yes. ”

Qi Xieyuan scratched his bald head with his hand, the expression on his face stiffened, and then he hummed a few times. In his heart, this little devil is by no means as polite as they seem on the surface, and they are all like beasts in their hearts, and when they are especially courteous to you, it means that they have plans for you.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Qi Xieyuan said in his mouth, and this time he took the lead in sitting down, waiting for the move from Shanxian County. A traitor is not so easy to be, it doesn't mean that whoever wants to be a traitor can be a traitor, only by being familiar with the routines of the little devil can he be a traitor, Qi Xieyuan asked himself if he understood the little devil, so he was still very calm in his heart.

"Minister, it just so happens that you called me, and I have some ideas to report to you. The establishment of the North China Security Army was to assist the empire in safeguarding its interests in North China, so it was necessary to race against time. Naturally, it is impossible to build an army slowly, and I propose that some senior officers be appointed in the near future so that the troops currently formed can be put into battle to assist the Imperial Army in clearing the rebels in North China. ”

As soon as Shan County Yongnan's words came out, Qi Xieyuan's heart was stunned. He invited the other party to talk about it, but his purpose was the opposite. He is a thief, and he never refuses the benefits given by the Japanese, and he always thinks about the work that the Japanese want him to do.

Qi Xieyuan has his own thoughts, although he has the value of Tada Jun, but he understands that he has always been a little wary and alienated from the Japanese, he naturally will not work hard for the Japanese in a simple way, he also hopes to have his own team and his own strength.

The North China Security Army has formed several core forces that he relies on so far, but this is what he intends to use as a teaching group. He was reluctant to dilute them into the North China battlefield no matter what. The whole of North China is so big, once a few teams scatter it, they can't even make a splash.

However, Qi Xieyuan's cleverness is here, he knows whose face he is looking at now, although Shan Shan Yongnan's position is lower than him, but he doesn't think that he can order the other party, it is impossible to reverse the other party's mind if he is-for-tat, so he chooses to follow the other party's words.

"Oh, the security of North China is indeed urgent, but I don't know what Shan Shanjun plans to do? After all, the rice still has to be eaten one bite at a time. ”

Regarding the small barb that Qi Xieyuan seemed to follow in his words, Shan County Yongnan expected it. If Qi Xieyuan is ten out of ten full of mouths, he will have to think about it.

"Minister, this is my whole plan, please take a look at it."

As he spoke, Shan Shan Yongnan raised his hand and motioned for the secretary to take out the documents in his purse and hand them over to Qi Xieyuan. Qi Xieyuan had already narrowed his eyes at this time, realizing that the other party was by no means improvised, but prepared. I looked at the plan of the county in my hand, and listened to the story of the county in my ears.

"Minister, I think the top priority is to clear the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army in the area of the Zhengtai Railway. You also understand the importance of this railway to the imperial army, and it must not be missed. Moreover, not long ago, the Eighth Route Army in the Jingcheng area had a battle with us, and in that battle, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Eighth Route Army cannot be underestimated. It can be said that the activities of the Eighth Route Army in the Jingcheng area have seriously threatened the safety of the railway.

There can be absolutely no appeasement for these Eighth Route Army, and their continued activities will bring luck to other rebel forces in North China. In the long run, it will inevitably threaten the dominance of the imperial army. Therefore, in North China, there can never be any slightest fluke mentality!

Recently, Fujino, who is in charge of security in the area of Kajing, has won the support of local households. A fulcrum was nailed in the range of activity of the Eighth Route Army. As long as you use it as a fulcrum, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army, and the Minister you will enlist some former colleagues to come to us to assist the Imperial Army, you will definitely be able to clear the entire railway line! At that time, with this as a model area, the whole of North China would completely become the bag of the imperial army! ”

Shan Shan Yong said excitedly, faintly a little complacent about his plan, although his plan seems to be ordinary, but relying on this absolute power, he is confident to achieve his goal.

Qi Xieyuan's side frowned, and at this time he already regretted letting Shan County finish his plan. There's only one reason, and that's that the plan looks just too good. Now he really believes that this little hairy child is a real capable. Anyway, this plan really didn't see any flaws in his eyes, so he couldn't find any suitable reason to reject the other party for a while, and even he himself had some heartbeats.

That's right, Qi Xieyuan was really moved. According to the plan of the county government, this battle will definitely be a great merit, and as long as the little devil fights righteously, he will definitely get a lot of benefits. What is the purpose of the husband's career? Isn't it just a beautiful house on a good field, glorious and rich, and a wife and a son?

But soon, Qi Xieyuan's brain cooled down, and he still regained some reason at the critical moment. The plan of the county is very beautiful, but who can guarantee that this battle will be won? He is a veteran of the battlefield, and he also fought a few tough battles when the warlords were in the melee, so he knows very well the truth that victory and defeat are impermanent. Coupled with the fact that the Sasaki United was still in sight, the entire wing was almost wiped out, so he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

"Alas...... who would have thought that those poor sticks and mud legs would be so capable of beating now...... Also, after suppressing them for more than ten years, they were not destroyed...... This bone is not so easy to gnaw on...... I don't have enough money to fill in my belongings. This cannot be done! ”

It was almost a gasping effort, Qi Xieyuan's head turned 1,400 times, and after making up his mind, he pondered how to reject this plan in Luoshan County.
