"Minister, I understand what you mean, the purpose of forming an army is nothing more than to gain bargaining chips for negotiations, prepare for the unknown situation in the future, and support the army at the worst to gain self-respect, get the right to speak on the territory of Su Province, and deter the Japanese army and the Jinling government."

"Su Province is the most complete territory controlled by the entire Jinling government, and it is also the most developed territory of industry and commerce, and it is also the famous land of fish and rice, and its status is unquestionable, even if the other party has the ability to eat you, but the price and negative impact cannot be afforded." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Having said that, in his heart, he extremely disagreed with Li Shiqun's idea. How can you say that he is also a top spy leader, but his thinking is so naïve, in your heart, how stupid are the big traitors and Japanese invaders of Wang's puppet government?

This is not only an unattainable dream, but even a whimsical wishful thinking, with zero possibility of realization, the reason is simple, he does not have such conditions at all.

Why did Li Shiqun try to give the Japanese army and the Jinling government a number?

He is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, he knows his own flaws, and if he wants to dominate one side, it is not three or five thousand people who can stand up, and at least tens of thousands of people have to strength, even if the finances of the Soviet Province can afford to support these troops, where can they get guns and ammunition?

It is absolutely impossible to rely on smuggling, tens of thousands of guns are not a small number, and there is no other way to meet this demand except for the Japanese army's allocation and distribution.

If he has a number, it means that his army has been officially recognized, and he can openly and honestly ask for matching weapons and equipment from the Japanese army, and from the Jinling government for military uniforms and military expenses.

For example, don't think about tanks, armored vehicles, and howitzers, the Japanese army itself is not enough, but it is still possible to build a few mountain guns and mortars, equipped with light and heavy machine guns and 38 large cover rifles.

Guns and ammunition are the life of the army, and they are also the most important hard condition, and if this problem is not solved, the formation of the army will become a big joke.

Li Shiqun himself doesn't have a military factory, nor does he have the ability to build a military factory, so he can't let the soldiers fight with big swords and spears, right?

Chen Mingxiang thinks that his logic will not work, even if he gets the number, just by you, how large can you form an army?

The army burns the most money, building barracks and military bases, all kinds of office furniture and supplies, building military installations, procuring vehicles and generators, firewood, rice, oil, salt, grain, and vegetables, and officers and men have at least two sets of clothes and shoes a year.

It is impossible for all the taxes you have withheld in the Soviet Province to be used for army building, right? There are many places waiting to spend money and must give money, and once the yamen of all sizes in the province have no money, they can overturn the provincial government!

Pay for the subsidy yourself, your little money is a lot for a private person, but it's not enough to put it on such a big thing, how long can it last?

Even if a team is pulled up, it is a rabble, how can it withstand the attack of the Japanese army and create a situation that can resist the stalemate? You think the Japanese army is too simple, right?

The Japanese army is not a puppet army that helps to abuse the combat effectiveness of garbage, and the Shancheng government can barely gain a foothold in the southwest with the support of millions of regular troops, which is the best proof!

The army does not recruit as many people as it wants, and if it is issued with weapons and ammunition, it can fight, and if it wants to form combat effectiveness and be able to fight tough battles, it must also have the necessary military qualities.

This requires the recruitment of senior instructors with rich experience in actual combat, and the implementation of strict training and guidance for the army, especially the training of combat backbones and grassroots officers, which will take a long time.

Even if all the above problems are solved, the desired goal will not be achieved, the Japanese government and the military department are typical warmongers, not those puppet governments supported in China, they will not give you time to grow, as long as they find that there is a threat, they will immediately take action.

There are so many Japanese military intelligence agencies, they are not used for decoration, maybe your every move at the moment is under the monitoring of the Japanese army.

Li Shiqun forgot a fatal flaw, the Japanese army doesn't need to make a big deal at all, if you want to kill a little person like you, it's not too simple, some tricks clean you up!

"Or my brother understands my mind, this is also a way to no way, and if I don't want to protect myself, all my hard work may be in vain, which is absolutely unacceptable to me."

"Some high-level officials in the Jinling government regard Su Province as a big piece of fat meat flowing with oil, and there are many people who want to replace me as the chairman of the province."

"They kept saying bad things about me in front of the Japanese and Chairman Wang, and wanted to adjust my position, especially Zhou Gaohai, who was driven away by me, and he couldn't swallow this breath, and he always wanted to regain control of the Soviet Province."

"Now the Japanese still need me, and Chairman Wang is unwilling to touch me, and those people in Zhou Gaohai can only stare dryly, but the problem is, I heard you say that the Japanese have begun to delegate power to the Jinling government, which proves that the situation must have changed significantly."

"Although my channel for obtaining confidential information in the Mei organ has been cut off, those Japanese officers of the Qingxiang Committee, as well as Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi, have maintained a very good personal relationship with me and can give me some scattered information."

"Probably because Japan and the United States lost the war, the domestic war resources were a little unbearable, forcing them to move from the front of the stage to the background, and let the Jinling government loot materials in the front, which can also reduce the people's hatred of the Japanese." Li Shiqun said.

If he guessed everything correctly, he was able to deduce the essence of the matter from a single sentence and the truth from a little information, and he was quite a powerful person, or rather, he knew the Japanese people to a very thorough level.

"Maybe there are other possibilities, the war launched by Japan has occupied too many places, not only in China, but also in the entire Southeast Asian region, its own manpower and material resources have reached the limit, and it can't be digested in a short period of time, after all, it is an island country with scarce resources."

"The best way is to push the forces supported by various countries to the forefront, and they would rather lose a small part of their profits in exchange for the materials they need, so as to facilitate the use of resources and save their own energy, manpower and material resources." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Speaking of this possibility, just to find out how resolute Li Shiqun's intentions were, he felt that maybe it was time to carry out the second elimination plan.

"Brother, this argument is also tenable, but it is still too idealistic, but you are right about one thing, this way of operation will lose some of the benefits of the Japanese themselves. The bureaucrats in the Jinling government have coveted the power of material control for a long time, and when they encounter such an opportunity, they will definitely fill their own pockets, and you know their efficiency. ”

"Although you are deeply respected by the Japanese and appreciated by Chen Gongbo, you have not been trained in the center of the Jinling government, and you know very little about the secret agreements signed, far less than I know how greedy these Japanese are, to put it bluntly, they regard Huaxia as their colony!"

"If it weren't a last resort, the Japanese wouldn't give up their vested interests and be able to spit out the fat that they ate in their mouths, which shows that the situation is very serious, do you know what that means?" Li Shiqun said.
