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

"Reporting to Commander Qingtian, fifteen nautical miles ahead is the boundary set by Li Shaoyi."

When Commander Qingtian was in deep thought, suddenly the fleet chief of staff Colonel Kakuta came over to report. This guy was also the captain of a nearby destroyer and was temporarily promoted to fleet chief of staff.

"Commander, our navy dominates the sea. A mere press release won't stop us. Commander, please give the order. We will advance at full speed to the shore of the island city and fire at their barracks to show them how powerful we are."

Before Commander Qingtian opened his mouth, several young staff officers beside him were already eager to try. It seemed as if they had agreed half an hour ago that whenever this matter came to be discussed, they must all stand up and give the commander good advice. However, looking at their current behavior, it seemed a bit threatening.

In the Japanese army, there are cases of the younger generation threatening the older generation. This situation often happens. The older generation is more conservative, but the younger generation dares to do anything to gain merit. Li Shaoyi defeated the Japanese army. If the Japanese navy can give him a slap in the face, especially in a news-making city like the island city, then although the Japanese navy cannot be said to take off, we can still stand up straight in front of the Japanese army.

Commander Qingtian also wanted this, after all, he was not yet forty years old. At this age, if he could bring shame to the army, several senior officers of the Navy would surely see that his future was absolutely bright.

But the problem is that it is dangerous to go further. Although Li Shaoyi's men have no warships, his planes are very powerful. The First Flying Division in the Northeast was crippled by him twice. Although the Japanese Army still wants to conceal the facts, the spies planted by the Japanese Navy in the army have already reported the news.

"How dare you! You must not disturb the Commander's thoughts. It is not time for you to express your opinions."

Colonel Kakuta is already 45 years old and is about to retire in the Japanese Navy. He is just the captain of a destroyer, which has made these young officers look down on him. What have you been busy with in your life?

If you had some ability, you would have been the captain of a cruiser or a battleship long ago, instead of being busy on a small destroyer. Now you are the chief of staff of a small fleet. Do you really think you can scold us?

If they were not in front of Commander Qingtian, these young officers would have retorted immediately. Colonel Kakuta's background was not very good, he came from an ordinary family, while they were descendants of navy officers, and some of their grandfathers were Commander Qingtian's superiors, so these people spoke so unscrupulously.

"Order the fleet to continue advancing. Inform the two destroyers to advance towards my left and right flanks, three nautical miles away."

Commander Qingtian just thought that if they retreat now, the future of all of them will basically be over. Putting the decision-making power in his hands is like putting it on the fire. Li Shaoyi already has a profound influence in Japan, and no one wants to fall because of Li Shaoyi.

So they put the decision-making power on Major General Qingtian. If you move forward and win, it will naturally be your credit, and some people in the country can also share a share.

If you turn back, you can save the fleet, but you will definitely have no future and may even be court-martialed. So after thinking about it, Commander Qingtian finally decided to move forward and take the risk.

When Li Shaoyi mentioned the thirty-nautical-mile limit, the Japanese Navy spokesman no longer recognized it, believing that the three nautical miles referred to internationally was the standard in today's society, and that the thirty nautical miles you mentioned would cause conflicts among countries around the world, so the Japanese Navy was ready to cross the thirty-nautical-mile line you mentioned.

Western countries cannot fall out with Li Shaoyi because of Luosha, but in some cases, their interests are consistent with Japan. If Li Shaoyi really advocates this thirty-nautical-mile line, it will be a troublesome thing for some Western warships. As long as they can control the conflict between Li Shaoyi and Japan, they don't mind letting the Japanese navy suppress Li Shaoyi's arrogance. After all, this guy has been asking for money too aggressively in recent times.

Of course, there is no problem with the safety of Pujiang. A prosperous and safe Pujiang is in line with the interests of the colonists of Western countries. If the Japanese take action in Pujiang, other countries are likely to express their dissatisfaction. As for the seaside of the island city, they will not care so much.

After Commander Qingtian's order was issued, the two destroyers began to move to the east and west sides and guarded the heavy cruiser. Commander Qingtian also sent a telegram to the Japanese Navy Operations Department, and at the same time sent a telegram to the naval bases in Northeast China and Pujiang.

After receiving the telegram, the Japanese Navy was energized and immediately held press conferences in the naval camps in Pujiang and the Northeast. In Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Navy also held press conferences to announce the heroic behavior of the Japanese Navy to the world and touted this advance as an action to safeguard international maritime rights.

They believe that Li Shaoyi's unauthorized change of the three-nautical-mile maritime boundary is a provocation to existing international maritime power, and that the Japanese Navy crossed this line this time in order to maintain the integrity of international maritime power.

Officials from various countries remained silent, but foreign chambers of commerce in various places, including some foreigners who had been invaded by Li Shaoyi, all spoke out at this moment, believing that what the Japanese did was right, and that the laws and regulations that had already been established could never be changed just because someone wanted to change them. If that were the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

The navies of various countries currently in Pujiang also agreed with this. Although they did not speak out, they also expressed their support privately. Many reporters obtained interviews with naval officers and soldiers who did not want to reveal their names.

As for the Nationalist government, they kept their mouths shut and decided to wait and see what would happen. If Li Shaoyi didn't shoot down these Japanese warships, it would mean that his previous boasts were in vain. But if he did, the war would spread from the north to the island city.

The Japanese have caused many incidents in China over the years, but they have never gained any advantage. Except for Li Shaoyi's 72nd Division, all other units have suffered heavy losses. I wonder what the result will be this time...
