Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

According to Du Yunshan's idea, even if Li Shaoyi wanted to form a navy, it would be impossible for him to have warships immediately, after all, various preparations had not yet begun.

According to the most optimistic estimate, we will have the first warship in a year, which is already quite difficult. After all, we are buying it from foreigners, and it will take you one or two months just to negotiate an agreement.

If you want to build it well, you have to send people to foreign countries to keep an eye on it. After all, in today's naval ship market, if you have ordered a warship, it is normal for some countries to be busy and secretly steal your ship.

A 2,000-ton destroyer is nothing to the European and American powers. Take the Windsor Empire, which has the best navy, for example. There are countless such warships, and most of its colonies around the world have them.

Going down a few levels, take Japan for example, they also have a large number of destroyers.

They just launched a new destroyer, but I guess they won't even get a single square in the news.

But it is different here. Since the defeat of the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the domestic navy has always been small-scale. It is very difficult to build a 2,000-ton warship.

The 2,000-ton ships of the Central Navy are also the flagships.

"Is this a second-hand warship from some country? It's been gone for years. Let me see how much combat effectiveness it still has."

Du Yunshan instinctively thought that Li Shaoyi had purchased a second-hand warship, which was also something that major warlords in the country often did. If he bought a brand new one, there would be too many problems, and it would be far less cost-effective than a second-hand one. Of course, the most important thing was that a brand new one was too expensive.

"How could it be a second-hand warship? Our Fifth Fleet has just been established, and we must fire the first shot. The warship is on its way. Your first task is to find a few hundred sailors without affecting your main duties."

Du Yunshan originally thought that Li Shaoyi was joking, but seeing Li Shaoyi's serious look, he knew that a commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops would never joke about such an issue. Besides, would there be any reward for joking with him?

"There's no problem with people. Back when the Northeastern Navy moved south, the Central Navy excluded them. They only wanted ships, not people, so many people left the navy. Let alone finding a few hundred, even a thousand or two wouldn't be a problem."

Du Yunshan thought for a while and said, Li Shaoyi didn't expect that there were so many naval personnel in the country. According to his understanding, it was already good enough to be able to put together a ship, but he didn't expect there were so many. We can still choose. Maybe we can form a fleet of three destroyers right away.

"That's even better. Hurry and find some people. Take as many as you can. No matter what their salary is for the work they do now, if they're willing to come here, I'll give them half the salary."

Li Shaoyi brought out the political tactics of the Jin and Yuan dynasties again, and it must be said that this was still very useful. In some families, there was only one person earning money, and his salary seemed high, but in fact the whole family lived in poverty. If we increase his salary by 50%, and also give him a new ship, this was no joke.

"I think we should wait until the ship arrives. We are just empty talk now, and no one will believe me. If we have a ship, it will be different. Even if I cut my salary in half, as long as we have a ship, people will be willing to come."

Du Yunshan was quite familiar with these people in the navy. When these guys were in the Northeast, Marshal Zhang purchased a lot of naval warships and they were all well trained. However, after going south, they were squeezed out by the people in the Central Navy. They all wanted to do their old jobs instead of doing clerical work on land.

"That's easy. There will be a boat in two days."

Li Shaoyi thought about it and found that there were naval instructors in the system. Although they were not enough to make a destroyer combat-ready, it would not be a problem to simply drive it to the dock.

“Two days!!!”

Du Yunshan felt like his head was about to explode. He had to suppress his temper every minute with Li Shaoyi, otherwise his blood pressure would not be able to bear it.

"Hurry up and get to work. I have other things to do. I have to finish what Jinling asked me to do first, otherwise everything will be in vain."

After Li Shaoyi said this, Du Yunshan remembered Li Shaoyi's mission here. He had to resolve the previous issues and prevent the Japanese navy from entering our territorial waters.

Du Yunshan couldn't help with this matter and had to hurry up to do his own thing. If there really was a warship in two days and he couldn't find so many people, it would be his dereliction of duty.

When Du Yunshan went out, a female officer in the uniform of the Communist Party of China came in from outside. Du Yunshan felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"How's the check going?"

Gu Xiaomeng had just closed the door when Li Shaoyi's question came up.

"The people who beat and killed the protesters are currently at the Fuji Cotton Mill. They were all security personnel there and were originally in the Japanese army. There are many Japanese-owned enterprises in the island city, and almost every factory has its own armed personnel. When the Japanese army withdrew, some soldiers stayed behind."

When Li Shaoyi was still in Jinling, Gu Xiaomeng came here to start investigating. This little matter was not difficult for Gu Xiaomeng's Fuxing Society. Of course, it was limited to investigation and no action could be taken. Boss Dai could not bear this responsibility.

"Immediately launch an operation to surround all Japanese-owned enterprises. If you find any armed personnel, disarm them immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot."

After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, Ma Leizi walked out with a frown on his face. He said, "You armed men dare to shoot and kill our civilians on our land. Today, I will take action against you and let the people of the whole country know that our Marshal has officially dealt with this matter."

"Wait, and those Japanese entrepreneurs, arrest them all together. Without their connivance, how could these people dare to kill people at will? Maybe these armed men are not important enough, but these wealthy entrepreneurs may not be."

Before Ma Leizi reached the door, Li Shaoyi added another one.

Gu Xiaomeng rubbed his temples helplessly. This was still the Li Shaoyi he knew. He was so domineering in everything he did and didn't care about any trouble. When facing the Japanese, he would just fight and kill!
