The Emperor organized the Imperial Council in Tokyo to discuss the future direction of Japan's development in the Pacific region, and finally Japan decided on a strategy of advancing north first and then south.

At this time, in order to maintain pressure on China, Japan continued to consolidate its rule over the occupied areas in China, and gradually radiated to the surrounding areas with the occupied areas as the central areas, in order to gradually expand the territory of the occupied areas and slowly encroach on China.

At the same time, the Japanese army also organized battles with divisions and regiments as offensive units, such as the attack on Nanchang, Jiangxi. On the one hand, the government of the Republic of China increased loans from various countries, purchased arms, and sought international help, while recruiting a large number of young men in the non-occupied areas to prepare for a timely counterattack on the Japanese army.

And Li Tie, who had just passed through a great victory in Hainan, received an uninvited guest from Chongqing after vigorously rewarding the officers and men of the three armies.

This person is Li Tie's sworn brother Dai Li. When Dai Li read Commander Jiang's commendation to Li Tie in public, Li Tie did not look happy, he dismissed everyone, and then talked with Dai Li for an hour.

An hour later, Dai Li left Li Tie's official residence with a gloomy face, and then took the special plane arranged by Li Tie and returned directly to Chongqing.

When Dai Li left, the Thousand Tails Scorpion and Xu Meiqi came to Li Tie's side and asked him what Dai Li said to him.

Li Tie didn't completely say the content of the conversation between the two people, Li Tie just told the two wives that they would have to guard against Dai Lia in the future.

However, the thousand-tailed scorpion and Xu Meiqi, who knew the inside story, still guessed that Li Tie must have been angry with Dai Li because Dai Li secretly poisoned Liu Xiang. Although Liu Xiang said that Li Tie was not allowed to take revenge, and Li Tie really couldn't do anything to Dai Li.

However, Li Tie was still inevitable because of Liu Xiang's death and parted ways with Dai Li. Because Li Tie said that Dai Li, he can do it to Liu Xiang, and he can do it to Li Tie, but in his eyes, there is only Commander Jiang and no one else.

And as Li Tie's strength becomes stronger and stronger in the future, it is impossible not to arouse Commander Jiang's vigilance, in case one day, Commander Jiang wants to murder Li Tie, it may not be necessary for Commander Jiang to personally order, Dai Li will kill his relatives in righteousness.

Hearing Li Tie's evaluation of Dai Li, the thousand-tailed scorpion turned cold, and proposed to kill Dai Li secretly, but fortunately, Li Tie's persuasion finally dispelled the dangerous idea of the thousand-tailed scorpion.

As the saying goes, they don't conspire with each other, and since they are destined to not be friends with Dai Li, there is no need to become mortal enemies. After all, everyone has the same goal of dealing with the Japanese.

Li Tie sent Dai Li away, immediately said goodbye to his two wives, and secretly infiltrated Lang Son City, Vietnam, on the border between Guangxi and Vietnam.

On the border between Lang Son and China, there are several boot camps scattered in secret places, the largest of which is where thousands of soldiers are undergoing various military training.

Running, platooning, shooting, assassinating, bombing, crawling forward all kinds of passwords, shouts one after another, at this time in the middle of the square, several people in military uniforms are accompanying three people in civilian clothes while admiring the hot training in front of them, while talking cordially.

A fashionably dressed young man said: "Big Brother Bai and Big Brother Li really look up to the younger brother, and the younger brother admits that he supports the army and respects himself, but it is definitely not for the sake of China's struggle for power and profit."

Now that China and Japan are in a national war, the elder brother asked the two elder brothers for so many male soldiers to train well, so that they can better go into battle to kill the enemy in the future.

I said that as long as the Japanese are defeated, these 20,000 Gui children who are willing to go with you, I will send guns and money and personally send them back to Guangxi, and if they are willing to go with me, I will raise his family and ensure the safety of his family. In short, the brothers will not be left to lose. ”

A burly, solemn-looking middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother Delin, Brother Li Tie and the two of us are still hiding their hearts, if he doesn't want to enter the central government, why bother to make such a big move in Hainan, Hainan is a war, the world is shocked."

I haven't seen him for a few years, who would have thought that the young hairy boy back then now has the strength to compete with the Japanese? The most infuriating thing is that he also bought 20,000 Gui children from us.

You must know that our Gui children are all brother soldiers with bones and tendons, otherwise our Gui army would not be called the strongest soldier in China. Bai Chongxi joked to Li Zongren beside him.

"Yes! Li Tie, today we came to Vietnam without the pretext of seeing a doctor without Commander Chiang, and now I am also happy to see that the two thousand Gui children you sent me to you have trained so well.

I don't know if you can discuss and train us some more such soldiers, I don't want more, just help us train 50,000 people.

You also know that in the Battle of Taierzhuang, there were more than 10,000 casualties among my Gui children, and in the next few major battles, whether it was the Battle of Xuzhou or the Battle of Wuhan, the casualties of our Gui children were very large.

Up to now, there are less than 50,000 soldiers of the Gui family with Brother Jiansheng, and if there is another big battle with the Japanese army in a short period of time, I am afraid that we will have no soldiers available. Li Zongren also complained to Li Tie.

Last year, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi secretly signed a cooperation agreement with Li Tie, under which Li Tie provided a certain amount of arms and salaries to the Gui warlords, and the two lent Li Tie 20,000 Gui soldiers.

These 20,000 soldiers are rented by Li Tie with money, and the lease period is ten years, and after ten years, those who are willing to continue to work hard for Li Tie, Li Tie will re-hire these Gui soldiers, and those who are willing to leave Li Tie and vote for others, Li Tie will send enough entanglement, and will not be embarrassed at all.

Now that half a year has passed, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi took advantage of the fact that China and Japan were in the armistice period, and immediately went to Lang Son City, Vietnam, on the pretext of going abroad to see a doctor, where there was Li Tie's military training camp.

The 20,000 Gui soldiers leased to Li Tie were organized by Li Tie as the Third Army of the Hainan Guard. As for the army commander and deputy army commander, they are naturally these people in military uniforms around them.

Li Zongren looked at the person wearing the military commander's uniform next to him and shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Hucheng, you have also been a member of the party, I really can't understand, why are you willing to be a little army commander for Li Tie, if you are interested, why don't you come to my Guijun, Brother Jiansheng and I, are willing to treat each other as deputy commanders-in-chief?" ”

Li Tie was not angry when he saw Li Zongren digging a corner directly in front of him, since Yang Hucheng was rescued by himself to Vietnam, he has been appointed by himself as the commander of the Third Army of the Hainan Escort Army.

General Yang Hucheng, who was able to personally train these 20,000 tiger and wolf soldiers and regain his freedom, felt that he had returned to his passionate youth, and Li Tie assured Yang Hucheng that the Hainan Guards would never fight a civil war, otherwise Yang Hucheng could leave him at any time.

And how could Yang Hucheng, who was extremely familiar with China's political situation, not know the real purpose of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to win him over, and how could Yang Hucheng, who had long been tired of China's endless civil war, listen to Li Zongren's wooing.

Yang Hucheng smiled slightly, saying that he was old and had no ambition for a long time, and now he just wanted to help Brother Li train the 20,000 recruits well, because listening to Li Tie, in three months at most, the 20,000 wolf soldiers would be transferred to fight for the country. So he still has to hurry up and train these recruits.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi thought in their hearts that this must be Yang Hucheng's excuse, there are still people in China who do not fight a civil war, how is this possible, although now everyone has stopped the civil war and united with the outside world, but which warlord is not taking the opportunity to develop and strengthen himself in the name of fighting the Japanese.

Everyone wants to enrich their strength, and when the Japanese are beaten away one day, it will naturally be the time when China is in danger again.

This is known not only to the warlords of all stripes, but also to Commander Chiang.

Seeing that Yang Hucheng was not being co-opted, the two rolled their eyes, and then looked at the deputy army commander behind Yang Hucheng, this deputy army commander was only a division commander before, if they gave him a military commander, I don't know if he would be willing or not.

This time, Bai Chongxi was the first to speak: "Alas, Xi'an is goodbye, and I don't know how Brother Hanqing is now?" I heard that he was rescued by a group of unknown forces, but I don't know if it's true.

Alas, Brother Feng Xiang, you are a close confidant of the young marshal, don't you want to look for news of Han Qing everywhere? If you want to inquire about Han Qing's news, why don't you come to our Guijun.

Our Gui army is now short of a tiger general like you, if you are willing to come, I will send you a military commander, and then how about mobilizing the whole army to help you find Zhang Shaoshuai? ”

Hearing Bai Chongxi poaching people in front of him so shamelessly, Li Tie was also drunk: "Two elder brothers, did you come to me to visit the training of the new army?" Why do I feel like you two are here to dig my corner?

Tell the two brothers the truth, Zhang Shaoshuai was rescued by my friend, and now Zhang Shaoshuai and his family are living a carefree life in a safe place, and Bai Fengxiang is the deputy commander of my Third Army and the commander of my future Fourth Army.

So you two don't bother him. If you really lack a tiger general, I have another one, who is only my brigade commander here, you can show a military commander if he is willing to go with you. ”

After Li Tie finished speaking, he pointed to the last person in military uniform beside him, and the brigade commander immediately became anxious when he heard Li Tie say this: "Commander, don't be joking, although I, Xie Jinyuan, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, I am a soldier for the people and the country, not a soldier born for the civil war."

Besides, I heard that my old friend, Liu Aiguo of the Magical First Brigade, is now the brigade commander of the Magical First Brigade, and now I am also the brigade commander, and I want to try with him on the battlefield in the future to see if his Magical First Brigade has killed more Japanese, or if our Guangxi wolf soldiers have killed more enemies. ”

Seeing Xie Jinyuan's anxious appearance, Li Tie and Li Zongren all showed funny looks. "To amuse you, the two brothers came to Vietnam this time at my invitation.

I told them that in the next few years, Commander Chiang would not have a big war with the Japanese, so I wanted them to lend me some more wolf soldiers, and our Hainan Guards would have to wrestle with the Japanese.

The two of them didn't believe that I had such courage, so they came here to investigate us under the pretense of seeing a doctor. Now that he sees that the soldiers we train are so elite, the two of them are envious, jealous, and hateful. That's why he deliberately showed that he wanted to dig a corner in front of me, just to see that I was in a hurry.

Who knew that Brother Hucheng and I were not fooled at all, but you, the dignified hero who guarded the Sixing Warehouse, and the brigade commander of the Third Army of the Hainan Guard, but you still couldn't hold your breath at all.

You don't want to think about it, Big Brother Bai and Big Brother Li, who are famous for Xiao Zhuge at home and abroad, are two old-timers who have fought against Commander Jiang for decades and have not fallen behind, and they are such superficial people. ”

Hearing that Li Tie counted Xie Jinyuan, the old and cunning bigwigs present looked at Li Tie with appreciative eyes, although everyone knew that Li Tie was holding a few people to speak, but in his heart, he kept scolding in his heart: "Li Tie, what a cunning little fox." ”
