At this time, Li Zihan was indeed very unhappy, but the reason why he was unhappy was not because he had not become the brigade commander.

In Li Zihan's mind, Gao Shenxing is actually qualified to be a brigade commander. Others don't know it, and Gao Shenxing never mentions it to others. However, Li Zihan knew that Gao Shenxing is a serious Lu University member and a professional student at the Central Military Academy. With this background and qualifications, who else can he be a brigade commander if he is not worthy of being this brigade commander?

After the Muar exercise, Chairman Jiang extended a branch to Gao Shenxing in front of everyone. Gao Shenxing only needed to nod. Now maybe he is already a division commander. What a mere brigade commander is worth.

What really made Li Zihan unhappy was the party tendency that Xu Shijiu showed in the appointment of Gao Shenxing as brigade commander.

Xu Shijiu has always been neutral and impartial in his attitude towards the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. He neither deliberately suppressed the development of the Communist Party nor deliberately suppressed the activities of the Kuomintang. Therefore, within the 19th Detachment, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can be at peace and have always been friendly and cooperated with each other. However, now, Xu Shijiu has shown a clear tendency and is still inclined toward the Communist Party.

After the Battle of Hulu Valley, Chongqing and the Third War Zone chiefs sent congratulatory messages as soon as possible. Chairman Jiang and the Military Commission changed their previous practice of neglecting Xu Shijiu and commended Xu Shijiu nationwide, as well as the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and were promoted to major general of the army, and promoted to lieutenant general commander, and also rewarded 50,000 French currency.

However, none of this could be exchanged for Xu Shijiu's slight recognition of the National Government.

Now, Xu Shijiu has increasingly shown his identity with the Communist Party.

Among the senior officers of the 19th Detachment, there seemed to be no Communist Party members on the surface, but Li Zihan knew that Gao Shenxing had actually secretly joined the Communist Party long ago. His introduction to the party was Yin Shangwen and Shu Tongwen who had already died. Li Zihan would never believe that Xu Shijiu would not know about this, but he still appointed Gao Shen as a brigade commander, which is enough to explain the problem.

Some people even said that Xu Shijiu also planned to add a large number of political workers in the Ministry of the 19th Detachment, company instructors, battalions and instructors, brigades and regiments to set up political commissaries. This is completely the style of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Moreover, Xu Shijiu also planned to directly introduce a large number of Communist Party members from the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party to serve as these political workers in the Ministry of Political Work. What is he trying to do? Do he really plan to join the Communist Party?

"Si" Li Zihan poured himself a full cup, then tilted his neck and drank it all.

Li Zihan must not be worried. If Xu Shijiu is determined to take the 19th Detachment to the Communist Party, what should he do then?

When Li Zihan thought of this, his heart immediately became chaotic and his mind was filled with mucus, so he could only continue drinking.

(Split Line)

Ye Ruxue walked through the corridor with cat steps, and her thick-soled military boots stepped on the wooden floor made a sound of shells, attracting a lot of attention.

More than a dozen heads poked out from behind the doors on both sides of the corridor, and pairs of scorching eyes gathered on Ye Ruxue. Ye Ruxue was wearing an olive green military uniform, and her straight trousers made her beautiful legs look particularly slender. Her round buttocks wrapped in the military trousers outlined the deep gully in the middle, which was seductive and infinite imagination.

Ye Ruxue wore a Beret hat on her head, and her hair fell down like a waterfall, reflecting her skin with a particularly frost and snow.

Many civilians in the headquarters were straightened. Wearing this military uniform on Director Ye, the effect was a disaster for the country and the people.

This is an American military uniform bought from the United States, but at present, it is limited to the Military Control Commission system and a small number of field troops in the Ninth War Zone. For example, the 74th Army is qualified to change into such American military uniforms. Therefore, before the Battle of Jinjiang, Wang Yaowu would have been confident that he should be worthy of the green military uniform.

Ye Ruxue walked outside Xu Shijiu's office and found that the office door was open.

Ye Ruxue raised her bare hands and wanted to knock on the door, but when her hands and feet touched the door, she hesitated again.

Ye Ruxue hadn't thought about how to raise that ridiculous thing to Xu Shijiu. She really couldn't understand why No. 16, Luojiawan, made such a ridiculous decision, and actually let Yan Sanquan, the dog traitor, be the county magistrate of Longkou County? Isn't this a joke? Even if the people of Longkou County agree, Xu Shijiu would never agree. Ye Ruxue could imagine how Xu Shijiu's reaction after hearing the news.

In fact, Ye Ruxue shouldn't have come to Xu Shijiu at all, because the order given to her by Luojiawan No. 16 was to do everything possible to protect the safety of Yan Sanquan before the Anhui Provincial Government's appointment letter. In this way, Xu Shijiu would not have the chance to kill Yan Sanquan first.

So, Ye Ruxue came to find Xu Shijiu at this time, but in fact she had violated the life of No. 16 Luojiawan.

Therefore, Ye Ruxue was also a little hesitant, hesitating whether to disclose the news to Xu Shijiu in advance.

Ye Ruxue was hesitating whether to enter, but Xu Shijiu accidentally raised his head and saw Ye Ruxue standing outside the door.

"Director Ye? Is there something wrong? Why don't you come in?" Xu Shijiu looked up at Ye Ruxue, and was also a little amazed. This woman is really a beauty, and after wearing this American military uniform, she looks even more charming.

Ye Ruxue made up her mind and walked into Xu Shijiu's office with pretty steps.

"Please sit down." Xu Shijiu asked Ye Ruxue to sit down, and got up and poured him a glass of boiling water.

Ye Ruxue stood up, took the tea from Xu Shijiu, then pursed her red lips and said, "Commander, there is something..."

"Let's talk about your affairs first, let's talk about mine first." Xu Shijiu interrupted Ye Ruxue and said, "Director Ye, has the smuggling channel between Longkou and Shanghai controlled by your Military Control Commission been cut off by little Japan?"

"No, the little Japanese thinks so, but they can't do it."

"Very good. As long as the smuggling channels between Longkou and Shanghai are still unobstructed, you can help me find a way to smuggle a batch of machinery and equipment from Shanghai. There is no need to be too new, as long as it can be operated." Xu Shijiu said.

Ye Ruxue asked with a smile: "Commander, do you still want to build an arsenal?"

"Is that necessary?" Xu Shijiu said, "Without an arsenal, it is easy for Japan to get stuck in its neck."

"Okay, I'll do it as much as possible." Ye Ruxue said, "But, it takes money to purchase machinery and equipment."

"I'll find a way to deal with money. I heard that the Wang puppet government issued gold tickets. I wonder if Shanghai can use gold tickets?"

"We are afraid that the American and British foreign merchants in Shanghai will not be able to collect gold tickets, but our smuggling channels are not limited to American and British foreign merchants. Our Military Commission can also get goods from small Japanese merchants. In the small Japanese merchants, these gold tickets should still be useful."

"What, can you still connect with the Japanese businessman?" Xu Shijiu was quite surprised.

Ye Ruxue stroked her hair and smiled and said, "Commander, what's so strange about this? We Chinese will have traitors, and there will be scum among the Japanese. Whether it is the Japanese base camp or the Japanese Chinese condemnation headquarters, we have the eyeliner we have to buy. As long as we can afford the price, we can buy any information. As for the Japanese merchants, there is even less integrity. As long as you can afford the price, you can't even buy a few Japanese-made large-caliber howitzers, or even armored cars."

"Very good. As long as your military command has a way to get the equipment I thought of, that's great." Xu Shijiu felt relieved when he heard this.

Ye Ruxue smiled and asked again: "Commander, I don't know how you plan to get the gold ticket? This thing is not easy to do."

"This, I have to ask your Military Commission to provide information." Xu Shijiu pondered, "Since this gold ticket was issued in the name of the Wang Puppet Government of Nanjing, it will inevitably be fully circulated in the entire Japanese-occupied area in central China. Therefore, Japan will definitely transport gold tickets from Nanjing to Wuhan. During this period, you can help me collect information about this."
