Li Shaoyi also had his own selfish motives in this matter. At present, our civil aviation aircraft have flown to all airports in the country. Even if it means a little loss, Li Shaoyi wants the pilots to familiarize themselves with it.

Moreover, Dong Yueyan has always had a lax attitude towards the management of the airline, especially regarding the source of pilots. She only cares about profits and safety. As for where these pilots come from, Dong Yueyan does not interfere at all.

This gave Li Shaoyi the opportunity to train pilots, letting our combat department pilots pretend to be civil aviation pilots and fly all over the country. Now they need a place to refuel in the middle for future exercises.

When the Japanese attack Pujiang in the future, all the planes will have to support Pujiang, and there must be a transit station in the middle. Although some planes can go directly, we still have to buy insurance for everything.

The dispatch of the fleet to Pujiang has been scheduled for two weeks later, thanks to the mediation of Commander-in-Chief Chen. This takes both sides into consideration, as it can both boost the morale of the people and allow the training of new recruits to be completed as scheduled. It can be said that it is like cutting tofu with a knife with both sides smooth.

However, a phone call from Wu Zhenkui made Li Shaoyi a little worried. Representatives from various countries were meeting at the Pujiang French Concession Municipal Council to discuss the fleet's stationing in Pujiang.

"Haven't you figured out what they mean yet?"

What is coming will come. Li Shaoyi still underestimated these foreign invaders. He originally thought that he was in a high degree of agreement with them in the Xiongnu, and the fleet's main target in Pujiang was the Japanese, not them, so these people should not stand up. Now it seems that this is not the case. Since these guys are holding a meeting to discuss, it means that they still resist us in their hearts.

"They probably want our fleet to pay a friendly visit and then head to Nanjing, or perhaps station somewhere else, but definitely not in the Huangpu River. You know, the better locations along the Huangpu River are basically all occupied by them."

Wu Zhenkui said weakly that this is not the business of our government. From the establishment of Pujiang to the present, it has always been dominated by foreigners. Although we can get involved now, the decision-making power is not in our hands.

"In addition, the Japanese were jumping around, mobilizing a lot of lobbyists, clamoring to prevent the Fifth Fleet from entering the Pujiang River."

Wu Zhenkui added that Li Shaoyi was of course very clear about the attitude of the Japanese. If these guys could make him feel better for even a second, they would have some conscience.

"Some things need to be disrupted from within. Western countries aren't a monolithic entity. The strongest force preventing us from entering Pujiang is probably the Japanese, followed by the Gauls. After we arrive in Pujiang, they will probably be most worried about the safety of the French Concession. On the contrary, the International Settlement won't rush to the front. I've already made an agreement with Mr. Hans, the Junkers ambassador, that we won't be embarrassed on this matter. You go and deal with the Windsor Empire and the United States."

Li Shaoyi thought about it and said that it was probably impossible to get the entire West to support us now. We could only win over the strongest ones first. If we were to fall out with the entire West, Li Shaoyi would have the strength in military terms, but not in civil affairs.

Take the railway from Peking to Saynshand for example. A large number of rails and various mechanical equipment still need to be purchased from foreign countries. The deposit has already been paid. If we fall out with other countries, industrial equipment and technical personnel cannot be imported, and the millions of dollars we invested in the early stage may be wasted.

Of course, economic losses are only one aspect. The most important problem is still the problem on the battlefield. With this railway, the communication between the front and rear will be very smooth, but if there is no such railway, relying on transportation by airplanes and cars will take up a huge amount of our manpower.

"I understand."

Wu Zhenkui also knew how he got the position of police chief. You have to let Li Shaoyi see your ability at the critical moment. If you just sit in the office and give orders, why let you take the position?

"Commander, has the Marshal's order come down?"

Deputy Director Han Mingsheng is Wu Zhenkui's sworn brother. In order to gain a foothold in Pujiang, Wu Zhenkui naturally called his own people over, and they have done a good job during this period.

"It's done. To alienate the people of various countries, you go find the ambassador of the Windsor Empire, and I'll go talk to the people of the United States. No matter what they ask for, as long as it doesn't violate our principles, we will agree to it first."

Wu Zhenkui thought for a while and said, you have to be soft when you need to be soft. If you keep being tough, I'm afraid many things will not be accomplished and you will offend people. The situation in Pujiang is more complicated. Although the consuls of various countries cannot be said to be in control of everything, they do have a lot of power in their hands.

Our main contradiction now is with the Japanese. We must not make enemies with all countries. It will not benefit us in any way.

Before, Empress Dowager Cixi was so crazy that she declared war on other countries. What was the final result? Even the capital was occupied by others. If this old woman hadn't run away so quickly, she might have been taken prisoner.

"Then what should we do about the people of the Gallic Empire? They are the most powerful force in the entire Pujiang River, and the Gallic Empire also has the most warships in the Huangpu River."

Deputy Director Han is an old man in Pujiang and is quite familiar with the situation here. The people of the Gallic Empire should be the most stubborn. Of course, they also have the most interests in Pujiang. The French Concession is also the core of the entire Pujiang.

"You think they're formidable now, but I think even if we two accomplish our mission, they won't be able to hold their own. Their warships in the Huangpu River are powerful, but compared to our Marshal's, they seem to be a bit lacking. If I remember correctly, the largest of their four warships is only 3,000 tons. Under the threat of our warships and aircraft, what do you think he will do in the end?"

When Wu Zhenkui said this, he could feel his blood boiling. The Marshal had just left Pujiang not long ago, and he was going back to Pujiang in a new way. However, this time he was far from being worthy of being a police chief, and perhaps there were deeper interests involved.

Han Mingsheng also showed a look of joy. The people of the Gallic Empire were rampant in Pujiang. He had considered dealing with them last time, but for various reasons he had to endure it. Now our fleet is stationed in Pujiang. It would be best if nothing happened to you. If something really happened, according to our Marshal's character, you would have to buy your own coffins...
