Hearing Shen Yanling's words, Li Yan's thoughts turned and he fell into deep thought.
He wasn't very strong now, but he was confident that he could take down the entire E Province, or even the entire Central Plains, in less than a year.
Therefore, Li Yan felt that he needed to establish his own intelligence agency, and Shen Yanling was a good candidate!
This woman was the head of the military intelligence department stationed in Xiang City. Her understanding of the entire Xiang City area was probably second to none.
Li Yan felt that it was necessary for him to poach the female agent in front of him and see if he could recruit her.
Although Li Yan could exchange spy-type clones to build an intelligence agency, the exchange price of spy-type clones was too expensive. It was three times that of a beginner military-type clone, which was 7500 exchange points per person. Li Yan could not afford this price!
After thinking for a long time, Li Yan smiled and looked at Shen Yanling sincerely.""Director Shen, there are three major intelligence agencies in the national team. They are the Central Commander, the Military Commander, and the Secret Service. There are many people in the Military Commander you are in, and the factions are complicated. Moreover, you are a woman, so you are naturally at a disadvantage.”
"Division Commander Li, what do you mean?”Shen Yanling frowned slightly, her phoenix eyes filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Li Yan was saying this.
"It's like this, I also want to set up my own intelligence agency to collect all kinds of information. I really need talents like Director Shen. If Director Shen is willing, I will treat him well as the director.”Li Yan stated his conditions.
"Commander Li, are you joking?”Shen Yanling found it a little funny. Li Yan wanted to set up an intelligence bureau. Didn't he know that setting up an intelligence bureau required a lot of manpower, resources, money, and time?
Although Li Yan was the commander of the 108th Division, he had many subordinates and even owned a piece of land in the county.
However, it would be wishful thinking to establish an intelligence bureau with such a small amount of strength!
"Director Shen, I know that you might find my words a little funny. Then let's wait and see. I hope that Director Shen can seriously consider my invitation. The 108th Division is not just a division. In the future, the 108th Division will grow into a military combat force that surpasses the national army!”Li Yan said confidently. His eyes were very serious, and he didn't have the slightest intention of joking!
"Surpassing the national army?" Shen Yanling rolled her eyes and changed the topic.
Shen Yanling naturally would not agree to Li Yan's invitation. If Li Yan did not occupy Nanzhang County, but the entire Xiang City area, Shen Yanling would naturally consider this invitation seriously.
Simply put, Li Yan was still too weak. How could Shen Yanling possibly quit the military and join Li Yan's forces?
Seeing Shen Yanling's slightly disdainful gaze, Li Yan only smiled and did not take it to heart.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became quiet.
After a while, Shen Yanling stood up and said,""Division Commander Li, I have already relayed the news of the 217th Brigade. I hope that Division Commander Li can consider withdrawing from Nanzhang County and preserve the existing forces to fight against the Japanese instead of making unnecessary sacrifices.”
After saying this, Shen Yan Ling bade farewell and left, leaving behind a graceful figure.
"It's just a mere 217th Brigade. I'll eat as many as they come!”Li Yan muttered to himself as he watched Shen Yanling's disappearing figure.
He now had 2.45 million exchange points, and he could still get some from the rich landowners of Nanzhang County tomorrow.
A conservative estimate was that Li Yan's exchange points could reach at least four million points. With these exchange points, the strength of the 108th division would rise to another level.
From the looks of it, it would not be a problem for the 108th Division to take down the 217th Brigade!
Moreover, in the entire Xiang City area, the Japanese army only had the 101st Division. If the 217th Brigade was destroyed by Li Yan, the strength of the 101st Division would be reduced by half.
At that time, Li Yan could directly attack Xiang City and occupy the entire Xiang City area.
If Li Yan took down Quanxiang City, relying on this area, he could build an army of at least 40,000 people. The 108th Division would rise from a division to an army.
…………………
On the other side, in the Su family's courtyard in Xiang City.
The Su family and the Li family were old friends. Both of them were famous landowners in Xiangcheng. However, the Su family controlled 20,000 mu more land than the Li family.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Su family's courtyard, the head of the Su family, Su Hanlin, put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at the butler, Sun Hong, and asked,"Old Sun, how's the preparation of the money and food I asked you to gather?”
"Master, it's all ready. It's a total of 150,000 cash and 600,000 catties of food!”Sun Hong reported the data. He raised his head to look at Su Hanlin and said worriedly,"Master, are we really going to send these grains and money to Young Master Li?”
As the housekeeper of the Su family, Sun Hong knew the current situation of the Su family very well. Due to the continuous plundering of the Japanese army, there were only a million kilograms of grain left in the Su family's granaries, and this 150,000 yuan was almost the majority of the Su family's liquid funds.
Although the young master of the Li family and his young miss had arranged a betrothal, the two families were in-laws.
However, Young Master Li had now become the commander of the resistance against the Japanese army. If the Japanese army knew that the Su family had sent money and food, then the Su family would be destroyed!
"The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are still there, the city is deep in spring.”Su Hanlin sighed and said," Since Li Yan has embarked on the path of resisting Japan, I didn't misjudge him. These grains and money are the biggest gift from my Su family!"”
"Master, you have to be careful. The Su family's foundation is in Xiangcheng, and Xiangyang is an occupied area. If the Japanese army finds out about this, our Su family will probably encounter a disaster!”Sun Hong advised earnestly.
He felt that the Su family should draw a clear line between them and Li Yan at this stage. They should not have any dealings with him, and they should not give him money or food!
The risk was too great. After all, Xiangyang was an occupied area, and the Japanese army had the final say!
"I've made up my mind. You don't have to say anything else. Immediately send this money and grain to Nanzhang!”Su Hanlin's words were firm and did not allow for any rebuttal.
Hearing this, Sun Hong smiled bitterly. Since Old Master had already said so, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Oh right, bring Jingyao along too.”Su Hanlin said again.
" This…" Sun Hong continued to smile bitterly. He understood what Su Hanlin meant.
His master only had one daughter. If the Japanese army found out that the Su family had sent money and food, as long as they sent Miss away, Miss would not be implicated!
