Chapter 507 Bargaining
No wonder Minister He didn't even have his signature smile on his face today. This was normal. He was called over by the old man and scolded in the morning. Newspapers from all over the world were making indirect accusations and almost naming names.
During these ten hours, the reputation of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs took a sharp turn for the worse, and Minister He then called Li Shaoyi over.
Looking at the anxious Minister He, Li Shaoyi didn't know what to say. What did it mean to come directly to communicate with you? It's not like I didn't ask my secretary to submit an application. Seeing that you are too busy with work here, how can I come? Wait at the door?
"Minister He, I was inconsiderate in this matter. I'm sure nothing like this will happen again. However, our 72nd Division is somewhat different from other places. I suggest that we establish an emergency contact mechanism to prevent this from happening again."
Li Shaoyi took the teapot slowly and added water to Minister He.
Minister He also realized that although Li Shaoyi seemed to want to apologize, he was still aggressive and even wanted to reach out to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to establish a so-called contact mechanism. He still had to find a special person to connect with the 72nd Division.
"Each department within the Ministry of Military Affairs has its own responsibilities. If any unit wishes to report a problem, it must go through the proper procedures. If the 72nd Division enjoys privileges, won't the other units have to follow suit? Will there be any rules within the Ministry of Military Affairs in the future?"
Minister He believes that this rule cannot be broken. If the 72nd Division sets up a special liaison department, then other armies will follow suit. How many people will the Military and Political Department have to add?
The most important thing is that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is leading you, and will never be led by you. Even if such a special department is to appear, it must be proposed by people from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
"Minister He is right. I understand. But if anything goes wrong in the future, I will have to come here to apologize. It's okay for me to apologize. I can come here every day from morning to night. But the problem is your reputation and that of the Ministry of Military Affairs..."
Li Shaoyi's attitude was surprisingly good, but the words that came out of his mouth could make Minister He angry to death: You kid are clearly making a threat.
However, Minister He also knew the current situation outside. The ministers of various countries regarded Li Shaoyi as a hot commodity. He also understood the specific reasons. It was nothing more than the disharmony between the two major camps in the world. Therefore, the Westerners had to protect Li Shaoyi's knife.
Some warlords in China have said that if they had known this earlier, they would have fought the Russians long ago. However, when they said this, many people laughed at them. Think about what happened when Young Marshal Zhang pulled out the elite troops of the Northeast Army. What was the final result? Can your army be stronger than the Northeast Army?
Do you think those Westerners are fools? Do you think they will support you so much just because you fight the Russians? They have sent countless military observers to the front lines, which is why we are in the 72nd generation today.
"You are threatening me."
Minister He put down the teacup heavily and was a little angry at the moment. After all, he was an old man who followed the old man. He had many disciples all over the party and country, and had never been threatened by a young man like Li Shaoyi.
"Look at what you're saying. How could I possibly threaten you? I've always told my people that Minister He works so hard for the entire country. Without your efforts, our military development would be at least ten years behind. I'm just trying to make things easier for you. I'm here to ask you for help."
Li Shaoyi poured the tea again with a smile. Minister He looked at Li Shaoyi's throwing a tantrum and didn't know what to say. He could only smile helplessly.
"This incident will not happen again. Your 72nd Division is indeed special. I will have my subordinates set up a special liaison office, but you cannot announce this to the public. You know that the entire nation's military is watching. No matter how special your situation is, this cannot be made public."
Minister He finally agreed. After all, if they didn't listen to Li Shaoyi on such matters, who knows how much trouble this kid would cause. It didn't matter if he made a mistake since he was young, but the entire military and political department would suffer the consequences, and he would also be scolded. This couldn't happen a second time.
"This is all necessary. I'll obey you, old man. I see you have quite a few people here, so I won't waste my time here to avoid delaying you. They'll be organized into regiments and brigades in a matter of minutes."
Li Shaoyi achieved his goal and was about to escape. With this emergency contact mechanism, any reports sent here in the future could be discussed quickly. In addition, it also gave him bargaining power. This had never happened before, and the Military and Political Department also looked up to the 72nd Division, but definitely not to this extent.
Now that the major powers of various countries have supported it, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs naturally knows what to choose, which is a progress.
"Wait a moment. You've finished your story, but I haven't. You seized a lot of weapons in the north. I heard there were 20,000 to 30,000 rifles alone. Your troops don't use these things, so why keep them?"
Minister He suddenly thought of this matter.
Whether they are from Russia or Japan, these weapons are still good enough for us. Li Shaoyi's men look down on them and say they want to send them to the villages to be used as militia weapons. How can this be possible? If these weapons are shipped to the south, many miscellaneous troops will want to grab them.
"The quantity is quite large. If you need it, I'll ask someone to make a list for you. I'll charge you half the market price. I won't charge you a penny more."
Li Shaoyi has accomplished his task, so he must be given the rewards. He has no use for these 20,000 rifles and more than 200 machine guns. I originally wanted to give them to the militia. Since you are interested in them, I will give them to the militia after I capture them next time. Anyway, winning a battle is as easy as eating for us.
Minister He nodded with a smile, agreeing to this matter. When it comes to contributing to the country, no general in the entire party and country is as straightforward as Li Shaoyi. Minister He even feels a little guilty now. The last time Li Shaoyi submitted the report, he should not have listened to those blind advisers within the party and country who acted recklessly. He should have approved it directly without all these trivial matters in between.
Minister He personally sent Li Shaoyi downstairs. At the same time, two reporters from the Central Daily News also pressed the shutter here.
Li Shaoyi realized that he was an actor again...
