In the dining room, Li Yan finished his dinner at a leisurely pace. Then, he got up and walked toward the main hall of the Li Residence.
In the lobby of the Li Residence, a beautiful woman in a female suit was sitting quietly.
She had a pair of red phoenix eyes and two beautiful eyebrows, especially the wavy hair at the back of her head, which showed a special mature charm.
Hearing footsteps, the woman turned around. Li Yan's figure appeared in her line of sight.
The woman sized up Li Yan and smiled. She reached out her jade-like palm and introduced herself,"Hello, Regiment Commander Li. My name is Shen Yanling, and I'm from the military. You can call me Division Chief Shen!”
"Military Commander's Division Chief!" Li Yan raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised.
Of course, Li Yan did not shake hands with Shen Yanling. He only sized her up for a few seconds before saying coldly,""The commander's men have found my residence. You're walking into a tiger's den!”
"Regiment Commander Li, do you want to arrest me?”
Shen Yanling maintained her beautiful smile. She stared into Li Yan's eyes and said calmly,""I've been investigating Commander Li for a long time. Judging from Commander Li's style of doing things, I don't think Commander Li is a person who betrays his country for glory and is willing to be a traitor!”
Shen Yanling was the person in charge of the entire Xiang City area. Her rank was not low. Without a certain degree of confidence, she naturally would not take the risk to come to the Li residence.
Moreover, she had already sent out a special agent from the military to contact Li Yan in an attempt to persuade him to defect, but it had no effect.
Two days ago, the spy that Juntong had hidden in the Japanese high-level obtained a piece of information about the Japanese army's operations against the northwestern and southwestern regions of Hunan.
According to this intelligence report, the Japanese army was planning to occupy the entire Echeng area, and the Kawasaki Brigade in Nanzhang County was the first to open the way. Changping Town would be the first battle of this battle.
It was for this reason that Shen Yanling had personally come to visit him. She wanted to persuade Li Yan to switch sides and attack, so that he could cooperate with the 168th mixed brigade of the national army stationed in Changping Town to eliminate the Kawasaki Brigade. This would delay the Japanese army's attack plan and buy time for the Xia army to prepare for war.
A few months ago, the Battle of Wu Han had just ended. The Xia army had suffered heavy losses and needed some time to recover.
Hearing Shen Yanling's words, Li Yan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice,""You want to instigate me to defect?"
"Regiment Commander Li, are you from China?”Shen Yanling took a deep breath, and her expression turned solemn.
In that instant, Li Yan remained silent. He naturally wanted to fight the Japanese.
Now that the division chief of the military had come to him, he could wait for the right price and get himself a favorable condition.
On the other side, Shen Yanling saw that Li Yan was silent. She thought that she had touched Li Yan's soul.
Shen Yanling continued," Since ancient times, the land of Hua Xia has been invaded many times by foreign races. However, we have never been conquered. Even though we have fallen several times, the country of Hua Xia still belongs to the people of Hua Xia.”
" Every inch of land is an inch of blood. 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers. Under the leadership of the principal, the 400,000 Chinese people will never submit to the rule of the Japanese army. Even if the Chinese army is temporarily defeated, I believe that one day, the Japanese army will still be driven out by us!”
"Regiment Commander Li, can you choose to ignore the burning, killing and looting of the Japanese army in China? Could it be that you could watch your own people being bullied with a clear conscience?”
Shen Yanling became a little excited and her tone became more serious.
Looking at Shen Yanling's slightly agitated eyes, Li Yan was still very calm, as if these words did not cause any change in his heart.
"That's not right. Why is he so calm? Was my guess wrong? This person doesn't have any sense of nationality or country at all?”Shen Yanling's eyes trembled, and she was speechless.
At this moment, Li Yan didn't have any reaction. Her words didn't have any effect. This was completely different from what she had imagined!
In Shen Yanling's opinion, Li Yan was a young man who had studied abroad before. After all, he was still young, so he should have some reaction to her words!
"Director Shen, I know why you're here. I don't have any good feelings for the Japanese army. Please tell me your purpose.”Li Yan said.
Hearing this, Shen Yanling heaved a sigh of relief and said,"" According to the intelligence, the Japanese army's Xiazhong troops are planning to occupy all of Hubei. The Kawasaki Brigade in Nanzhang County is the first Japanese army to attack. Their goal is to occupy Changping Town and destroy or defeat the 168th Mixed Brigade of the Xia army."
"If the entire E City is occupied by the Japanese army, then Lin Du Yu City will be threatened by the Japanese army. The entire country is in danger of being destroyed. Commander Li, the life and death of the entire country depends on you!”
"I can't afford to take on this big hat!”Li Yan shook his head and smiled." Director Shen, what do you need me to do? Please tell me!"”
"Regiment Commander Li, I hope that you can consider the big picture and switch sides at the critical moment to cooperate with the 168th Mixed Brigade to take down Nanzhang County!”After saying this, Shen Yanling took out a letter of appointment.""If Regiment Commander Li is willing to switch sides and cooperate with the 168th Mixed Brigade, then from today onwards, Regiment Commander Li will no longer be the puppet regiment commander of Nanzhang County, but the commander of the newly formed 108th Division of the Republic of China.”
"108th Division Commander, Major General rank!”Li Yan took the letter of appointment from Shen Yanling's hands. After looking at it for a while, he said mockingly,""There are about 13,000 soldiers in the Zhongxia Republic, and I only have about 2,000 soldiers under me. If I agree to join the Xia army, when will the remaining 11,000 soldiers and the corresponding weapons and equipment be replenished to me? Oh right, there's also military pay!"
" This…" Shen Yanling's eyes widened. This guy did not play by the rules. At this point in time, everyone knew that this kind of appointment was just a title and a symbol of status. Other than some military pay, the corresponding personnel and weapons had to be found by yourself.
Even the direct troops of the national army did not have enough soldiers and weapons to replenish them. A new division like you who had joined the army wanted soldiers and weapons?
"You want the horse to run, but you don't give the horse grass to eat. This is very difficult!”Li Yan let out a long sigh, looking like he was helpless.
"Regiment Commander Li, we are currently in the middle of the war, and the government of the Republic of China is in a difficult situation. I hope Regiment Commander Li can understand the difficulties of the government.”Shen Yanling said helplessly. She did not want to give up.
