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

The people in Nanjing were indeed as Fan Xiliang said. When the first batch of newspapers came out, not only foreigners did not believe it, but the local people also did not believe it. Even though some people were full of confidence in Li Shaoyi's 72nd Division, attacking naval warships and enemies on land were two completely different matters.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 until now, we have never thought of being able to sink Japanese warships, but now the photos are right in front of us. The door of the Japanese Embassy is closed tightly, and the area is crowded with reporters from all over. They all want to ask these Japanese whether what is said in the newspaper is true?

If the Japanese ambassador to Nanjing had continued chatting and visiting friends as he did in the past, the suspicion might have been even more serious. However, they closed the door, and not only the officials were not allowed to come out, but even the ordinary staff were not allowed to come out.

The Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Pujiang even closed its barracks, not allowing all soldiers to go out, and entered a second-level combat readiness state. Wu Zhenkui even thought that the Japanese were going to start a war, so he distributed weapons and equipment to his men overnight. The situation between the two sides was tense, and everyone disliked each other, and conflict could happen at any time.

However, after the two most tense days, everyone felt that these things might be true, because the Japanese did not describe these things at all, and did not even stand up to refute them. This could only mean one thing, that is, everything said in the newspaper was true.

And subsequent photos have been released one after another. Almost all photos of a warship are available from the time it is attacked to the time it sinks. You can say that the first photo is fake, but are the subsequent photos fake?

Some foreign newspapers immediately began contacting their counterparts in Japan, asking them to hurry to the naval port to see if the Akagi aircraft carrier was still there.

The Japanese did not expect these reporters to arrive so quickly. They wanted to use another aircraft carrier and modify it slightly to show that the Akagi aircraft carrier was still there, but these reporters were so powerful that they immediately found the loophole. The two aircraft carriers were not built together, and they were not of the same level, so no matter how you modify it, you can always find differences.

The fact was confirmed by foreign newspapers. The 72nd Division's Air Force stationed in the island city did inherit two Japanese warships, one of which was the Japanese Navy's flagship Akagi. Of course, it can also be called the former naval flagship because at eight o'clock this morning, the Japanese temporarily changed the Japanese Navy's flagship.

In addition, two entire regiments of the Japanese Marine Corps also disappeared in the Japanese mainland. According to what the Japanese Marine Corps said, of course not to reporters, but to the families of the Marines, these people are undergoing training somewhere.

But they didn't reveal where he was, and even the phone call requested by his family couldn't be made, saying it was a state secret. How could it be a secret at all when they said it was a state secret in front of so many people?

Many people have guessed that after these people were sent to the island city, no one escaped.

Just as these people were speculating, photos of the Marines also appeared in the newspapers. Many newspapers used to publish one page a day, or even one page every three days, but now they have three pages a day.

But even so, the newspapers funded by Li Shaoyi increased their daily copies from 100,000 to 1.7 million, and were still able to sell out at the fastest speed. As for the newspapers that followed suit, because they did not have photos, their sales only increased by about double, but they were still very happy.

The Central Daily News was the last to publish the news. After all, the Central Daily News is the mouthpiece of the country, so it cannot make random statements on many things. Only after confirmation did the Central Daily News make the final conclusion of the news, saying that Li Shaoyi's 72nd Division really defeated the Japanese army near the coast of the island city.

Regardless of their financial difficulties, people from all over the country purchased a large number of firecrackers and started setting them off that night. Students and citizens also spontaneously formed celebration teams, and major cities instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

Firecracker sellers from all over the country did not take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but instead sold them at a 10% discount on the original price. According to them, we can make other money, but if we make this money, it would be really unscrupulous. As long as you buy firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate the victory of the 72nd Division, they will be sold at a 10% discount.

This was something Li Shaoyi had not expected. The cost of firecrackers and fireworks was not high, but the cost of transportation and storage was not low. These people were able to sell them at a 10% discount, and they did take out some profit.

In the fifth day's newspaper, Li Shaoyi published the tombstones of the fallen soldiers and the situation of the injured officers and soldiers. This guy took news to the extreme. People from all over the country immediately realized that we have to donate money to the 72nd Division.

Although Li Shaoyi didn't say that he was short of money, but with the war going on like this, how could he not spend money?

The places occupied by Li Shaoyi were all bitter and cold. Even if the soil was scraped three feet high, it would be impossible to find any people with water. The common people were the ones who loved the army the most and loved the patriotic army the most. So before Li Shaoyi even talked about donations, the common people from all over the place had spontaneously raised a large flag, and the people on both sides of the road also threw their own coins on it. By the time they reached the end of the street, the flag was already full.

Industrialists and businessmen are also donating generously, especially in coastal areas. Firstly, they are rich, and secondly, these people also hope that foreign warships will not come in all the time. It is said that now warships from various countries must report in advance if they want to enter the coastal areas of the island city. Only after obtaining approval from the maritime department can they enter. Otherwise, they will just drift on the open sea.

Of course, you can also rush in recklessly as before and enter the port at full speed without permission, but doing so will now have serious consequences. Just look at the sunken Japanese aircraft carriers. If you want to learn from them, the 72nd Division will not be stingy with bombs.

A week later, celebrations across the country reached a climax because a 6,000-ton light cruiser was commissioned into the Fifth Fleet under the 72nd Division.

This is the largest warship that has entered active service in the entire Dragon Kingdom since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894.

The people of the entire Dragon Kingdom were excited. This was something they had been looking forward to for decades...
