The arrival of Dai Li forced Pei Gang to lead the people out in despair. Seeing that the matter was over, He Chong was actually led out. Before leaving, he secretly said hello to Lin Xiaotang. Obviously Dai Li also knew about He Chong and Lin Xiaotang. The friendship between them was just a relaxed smile, and under the guidance of the big-headed person, they entered the living room to have tea.

Lin Xiaotang asked He Chong curiously, "Aren't you in the Ninth War Zone? Why are you working as a military policeman again?"

He Chong was extremely troubled by this problem, "What can I do? It's arranged by the elders in the family, but I have already submitted the application. I'm afraid there will be a war in the Ninth War Zone in the near future. Chongqing is not suitable for me. I still want to return to the front-line army."

Lin Xiaotang patted his shoulder with envy, "Sure, you have the guts. You deserve to be brothers who fought together back then. If you really come back to the Ninth War Zone, just ask for anything you need. I have a way and can get you anything."

He Chong's eyes lit up, "I have guessed that your boy was not kicked out by the military commander at all. It is definitely not a coincidence that Boss Dai personally rescued you today. This is what you said. Once my brother needs your help one day, you can I can’t deny my account.”

Lin Xiaotang chuckled, and the two made an appointment to meet, and then sent He Chong and others out of the yard.

Returning to the living room, Lin Xiaotang had time to take a look at Dai Li, a boss he had never met before. Dai Li was not tall, wearing a straight gray tunic suit, with neatly styled hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he saw Lin Xiaotang come in, There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he stood up immediately.

Lin Xiaotang walked forward quickly and saluted with a standard military salute, "Hello, Director Dai."

Dai Li chuckled, stepped forward and held Lin Xiaotang's hand, "Youzhong, you have to understand. You are now a lieutenant general, and I am just a mere major general."

Lin Xiaotang was stunned by this sentence. Shen Zui, who came with Dai Li, hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Youzhong, what Director Dai said is correct. Your lieutenant general rank was earned by Director Dai for you."

It turns out that Dai Li's current military rank is indeed the rank of major general, but as a major general he is far more prominent and more beneficial than some lieutenant generals or generals with false names. Not to mention anything else, just the tax police chief in his hands. The regiment is currently the most advanced force in equipment and training in the national army. In addition, the military commander has penetrated into various industries and has hidden strength in various fields. It can be said that the current military commander is the most powerful in the National Government and has the trust of Chiang Kai-shek. department.

Lin Xiaotang's military rank is because on the one hand he is the person in charge of the military command behind enemy lines, and on the other hand he also wears the hat of the General Supervisor of the Armed Forces Behind Enemy Lines, which means he controls a certain amount of the army, although he is not purely from the army. , but these days, the National Salvation Army behind enemy lines is full of major generals and lieutenant generals. Even Du Yuesheng still has the title of major general on his head. Lin Xiaotang, the general affairs supervisor appointed by the National Government, cannot be too shabby.

Listening to Shen Zui's eloquent talk, Lin Xiaotang quickly figured out the meaning. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. After thinking about it for a long time, his so-called lieutenant general was just an honorary title.

Lin Xiaotang and Dai Li were slightly polite, insisting that Dai Li sit in the upper hand position, and then they both sat down.

Similarly, Dai Li was also secretly sizing up Lin Xiaotang. Although he was already familiar with all the information about Lin Xiaotang, Dai Li was still a little surprised when he saw him. The potential opponent in his heart was actually so young. Thinking of the past few years, he had been in the occupied area. , especially in Shanghai and Nanjing, where Dai Li could not help but feel a mixture of jealousy and suspicion.

Lin Xiaotang sat aside respectfully, waiting quietly to listen to Dai Li's instructions, while Dai Li held a cup of tea in his hand, and was a little distracted for a moment.

The living room fell into an uncomfortable silence for a moment.

Chang Huan, Liu Baojia and others looked at each other, wondering why such a situation had occurred.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shen Zui quickly said, "Youzhong, Director Dai heard that you were in some trouble here. He put down what he was doing and rushed over to help you out. Director Dai takes you very seriously. hehe."

Lin Xiaotang just replied lightly, "Xiaotang is young and has little knowledge and has no close friends in Chongqing. The director is worried about me. I would like to thank Director Dai for having to help me out despite his busy schedule. Xiaotang is really grateful."

Dai Li chuckled and waved his hand, "You're welcome, You Zhong. In the past two years, it has been all thanks to you to support the affairs of our military command in the occupied areas. Without you, how could we control every move of the Japanese? You have worked hard and contributed greatly. Not only me, but also the committee members also keep this in mind."

Lin Xiaotang was slightly startled, but he only bowed slightly and did not show how flattered he was. This made Dai Li a little disappointed.

Dai Li took a sip of tea and decided to get straight to the point. His plan was that it would be best if Lin Xiaotang could be dealt with before the national meeting. After all, there are many factions within the military command. If it ends up being resolved at the meeting, then I'm afraid that there will be long nights and many dreams, and if something happens, it will definitely have an impact on the major factions and local powerful factions that I hope to solve through this Chongqing meeting in one fell swoop.

Lin Xiaotang can currently be regarded as the largest local powerful faction in the military unification. Different from the Guangdong faction, Zhejiang faction and other factions, he can be regarded as an out-and-out local prince. He has no foundation in the central government. He should be a faction that is relatively easy to deal with, and he usually has no control over the headquarters. He still obeyed his words and did not impose any conditions when doing things. It can be said that he completed various tasks assigned by his superiors very well. From this point of view, Dai Li was still very satisfied, but Lin Xiaotang's problem had to be solved. From another point of view, Dai Li was very satisfied. From a perspective, Lin Xiaotang has provided a very bad example to various factions and local powerful factions. If things go on like this, no one will take the headquarters seriously. Therefore, Lin Xiaotang's power must be weakened.

"Youzhong." Dai Li had made up his mind, and then spoke slowly, "In the past few years, your achievements are obvious to all, and I also know that you have always been wary of the headquarters, but now we are in the midst of a national war. , we must unite sincerely to achieve the final victory."

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "What the director said is true, Xiaotang deeply agrees, but I don't know what I should do."

Dai Li calmed down for a moment and then said: "Youzhong, I don't know if you are willing to come to the headquarters to take up a position. Don't think too much. I have no other intentions. You have been behind enemy lines for a long time and it has been difficult for you in the past few years. I am here for you. Security considerations, besides, you have so many brothers, they will eventually need to be promoted and resettled. And don’t worry, I understand that we are currently in a turning point in the war, and the personnel structure in the occupied area must not change significantly. , Tianjin, Peiping, Qingdao, and Nanjing will maintain the current structure, but I have to think long-term about Shanghai. Don’t worry, even if you return to the headquarters to take up a position, your salary and position will remain unchanged, and you will assist me as my deputy. I direct the unified actions of the whole country."

Datou, Chang Huan and others' eyes flickered, but they all looked at Lin Xiaotang. They all knew that this was Dai Li's test of Lin Xiaotang before the national meeting. It can be said that the price offered was not low. As long as Lin Xiaotang agreed, He will be able to become a top military commander on par with Zheng Jiemin, Tang Zong, Mao Renfeng and others. In time, even if Dai Li steps down, Lin Xiaotang, as the youngest among the top brass, can still fight for the highest command of the military commander. These are all given by Dai Li. The price tag, especially since he has stated that he will accept Lin Xiaotang as a deputy, is a treatment that Zheng Jiemin and others have not been able to enjoy so far.

Lin Xiaotang took a deep breath and stood up, "Director Dai, don't worry, Xiaotang will resolutely support the decision of this meeting, but he is obliged to do so."

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy took over his heart. He did not expect that Lin Xiaotang could agree to his suggestion so readily. A simple trial could achieve such great results. Lin Xiaotang agreed to submit, which made the occupied area originally occupied by him The unified forces of the various factions will return to the control of the headquarters, which means that Dai Li's military command will complete the unification of political orders in the true sense.

"For this reason, it is definitely not an exaggeration to give Lin Xiaotang the position of second-in-command in the military. No, even if he is given some more powerful departments, the deal will definitely be worthwhile." Dai Li thought excitedly.

After seeing off Dai Li and others who were in high spirits, Datou and Chang Huanhuan surrounded Lin Xiaotang, "Old Qi, how can this be done? We can't just give up all the territory and people based on Dai Li's words. What should we do in the future? Is it possible to return to Chongqing to work as an office? When we arrive in Chongqing, we are not the playthings in Dai Li's hands. We can knead them as much as we want. Are you crazy?" Big Head, the most impatient person Asked, although Chang Huan, Liu Baojia and others did not speak, their eyes were full of hesitation.

Lin Xiaotang smiled, told Jiao Da to ask people outside to be more vigilant, and then led everyone to the study room in the backyard. The place had been carefully inspected by his subordinates and confirmed that there was no eavesdropping equipment.

Lin Xiaotang looked at the people in the room. Datou, Chang Huan, Liu Baojia, Shang Zhi, and Guo Zhui were all subordinates he absolutely trusted, and then he said, "Why, after so many years of life and death, you still plan to continue."

Datou suddenly became angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? We have become a climate in the enemy-occupied area. As long as we don't want to, no one can touch us. It's better for you. Dai Li will let you hand over the territory with just one word." He only gave him military power and the false title of deputy, how dare you work so hard for him?"

Lin Xiaotang looked at Chang Huan and Liu Bao's family, "Ah Huan, Brother Bao, where are you?"

Chang Huan and Liu Baojia looked at each other, "What do you say, let's do it."

Lin Xiaotang looked at Shang Zhi again, "Xiao Zhi, what about you."

Shang Zhi smiled and raised his hair in front of his forehead, "I know that you must be fully prepared before coming to Chongqing. This situation is not much different from what you and the teacher expected, so I want you to It must be retreat in order to advance.”
