"I don't quite understand!"

Xiaoyu was still a little confused. After all, she was just an ordinary radio operator and didn't need to be too smart. Being too smart wasn't suitable for this situation.

"Alright, you don't need to know too much. After all, it's enough that your young lady is a clerk. The higher-ups can't do without her, understand?"

Minister Li shook his head as he looked at Xiaoyu's confused expression, clearly accepting of her reaction.

"Alright, Minister, I'll be leaving now!"

Xiaoyu turned and left, heading towards the door, after all, she had other work to do.

However, once Xiaoyu left Minister Li's office, her previously confused eyes brightened, after all, she wasn't really stupid.

Qin Yuxiang's purpose in working as a clerk here is obvious, but she can't say it outright yet.

After all, sometimes it's enough to just keep things in mind.

"By the way, there's something I need to do, which is to let the young master know about it."

But when she thought of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"Young Master is clever; how could he not see through the trick? It's just that Young Master has his own plans; otherwise, why would Miss have returned to headquarters!"

……

Headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Army Group.

Looking at the intelligence that Lao Zuo had compiled, Lao Zuo's expression became somewhat strange.

"Old Zhao, it seems the Japanese haven't given up and still want to stir up trouble in northern Jiangsu. Their infiltration of northern Jiangsu has reached a frenzied level."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. The Japanese have sent countless people into northern Jiangsu, and all sorts of information is constantly being leaked out. This is not a good thing for us."

Old Zuo sighed and shook his head. After all, the Japanese infiltration of northern Jiangsu was beyond what could be described by ordinary standards.

However, northern Jiangsu cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater, but continuing like this is not a good solution either, as it would waste a lot of manpower and resources.

"If the young master were here, we could save a lot of time identifying whether someone is a spy!"

"You know, it really hasn't been easy for the young master all by himself. Do you think all of this comes without a price?"

Old Yue shook his head bitterly, even looking at Old Zuo with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Besides, this is our business. If we have to trouble the young master with everything, wouldn't that mean we're all incompetent?"

"Young Master has handed over everything he could to us, and he has also specially trained a large number of talents. Do you think it was easy for Young Master?"

"Tell me, how many doctors did northern Jiangsu have before, and how many do they have now?"

"There used to be about 230 Western medicine doctors in the whole of northern Jiangsu, now there are about two. As for traditional Chinese medicine doctors, there are even more. What happened?"

"You, you, this is all thanks to the young master's training. Although it was only for a short period of time, it's no less than that of a veteran doctor with ten years of experience. They are definitely not novices. Do you understand what this means?"

"The command skills we learned are things we can easily do. Weren't they taught to us by the young master? Don't you understand?"

"I see. We do need to train a lot more talents like this, but the young master hasn't returned for a long time."

Have you forgotten?

Suddenly, Old Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"The young master inadvertently revealed that training a maximum of a dozen or so people at a time requires at least half a month of rest. Training more than that at once seems to come at a considerable cost, even..."

"Young Master didn't seem to have mentioned this to us, did he?"

Old Zuo, standing to the side, asked with some confusion, "You, how could the young master say that we still don't understand?"

"That's true, but what will be the price for the young master?"

"I don't know, but the higher the level of training, the greater the difficulty and the greater the effort required. So, you'll understand once you think about it."

"Also, regarding Commander Liu's place in Yancheng, the young master only trained one person last time he went there before leaving, do you understand?"

"Commander Liu's deputy, Chief of Staff Qi Qing?"

"Ok!"

"Alright, that's enough. Let's focus on cleaning up the Japanese rats in northern Jiangsu. The guys down here need to be more careful. That way we can feel more at ease."

"Oh, right, and this too. According to your intelligence analysis, it seems the Japanese are planning another attack on northern Jiangsu?"

"Judging from the Japanese forces that have been mobilized around us, if five more divisions are mobilized from other places, they may launch a war against us."

"That's right. We've already surveyed nearly ten divisions around us, practically surrounding this small area of ​​northern Jiangsu."

"Ok!"

Currently, apart from half of Xuzhou still being in Japanese hands, almost everything else north of the Yangtze River, eastern Anhui, southern Shandong, and southern Henan is in the hands of the Northern Jiangsu Army Group.

Although the area seems large, the population is actually quite large.

This is no longer something he can easily let go of.

"Have all the troops arrived at their designated locations?"

"Our deployment has been completed long ago, but the distribution of supplies in various places is still somewhat difficult. We can fight a war with full strength, but we cannot afford such consumption. The current issue is to avoid fighting if possible and wait for the right opportunity, especially regarding supplies."

"Also, when the young master comes back next time, I plan to tell him about the situation and strengthen our material reserves, otherwise we will run out of bullets after a few battles."

"It seems that's really the case."

"So next, we..."

"Purchase as much as you can. We're not afraid of having too much. As long as someone is willing to sell, we're willing to buy. Understand?"

"All right!"

"By the way, how's the situation in Xi'an?"

“We have reached an agreement with the locals that we will buy their goods as long as they are delivered to the designated location, and we will buy them in large quantities!”

"That's good. The biggest problem now is whether the Japanese army will launch a siege against northern Jiangsu. If so, how intense will it be?"

"I really don't know!"

"Should we let the young master take action? After all, he's the most suitable person to handle this kind of matter."

"Get lost. Young Master said that he will not take action against the Japanese army in future major battles, let alone engage in large-scale battles against them. Although I don't know the reason, I believe Young Master has suffered a lot of losses."

"I think so too."

"Alright, let's notify the guerrillas and intelligence personnel in various places and try to gather information. Moreover, the Japanese troops in Shanghai are moving around quite frequently, so we estimate that war is not far away."

"Old Zhao, when do you think the young master will be back? If he were here, things would be so much easier for us, really!"

"Get lost. Don't you know how tough things are for the young master? Just focus on doing your own thing. At least you've tried, so you won't have any regrets." (End of Chapter)
