"Brother Li, you..."

Mr. Du heard it clearly just now, but when he looked at the surrounding situation, it was obviously different from what Li Shaoyi said. If it was just to threaten for a while, would so many weapons and ammunition be needed?

If someone really threw a cigarette butt here, half of the Pujiang River would probably be flattened.

"I'm preparing for the worst. I don't want to go to war with the Japanese, but if they do start shitting on me, I'll have to take care of their entire family."

Li Shaoyi said cheerfully that this matter must be taught a lesson to the Japanese, both for public and private reasons. We are not afraid on the front battlefield, but if you keep plotting something, we really can't guard against it. So in order to prevent such things, we must let the Japanese know that as long as you dare to plot, I will bleed you, and bleed you heavily.

If you don't know how to be afraid, such things will happen again in the future.

"They will report the news here to Jinling. Besides, you made such a big fuss, and Jinling has many informants. You just said that on the phone..."

Mr. Du is also a shrewd person. He really doesn't know what Li Shaoyi is trying to do. After all, you are lying with your eyes open. Do you really think that Jinling's control over Pujiang is so poor? Even if he didn't say it, people who called Jinling would have to line up at the Bund.

"What is the truth? They know it better than me, but I report it that way. They have to believe it whether they want to or not. If you were in their position, do you think you could restrict me?"

Li Shaoyi's words made Mr. Du suddenly enlightened. It was indeed as Li Shaoyi said. If the higher-ups wanted to restrict Li Shaoyi now, especially in Pujiang, it would be too difficult. But Li Shaoyi had also come this far step by step. I didn't deploy troops to Pujiang for no reason. If you didn't have so many problems, how could I deploy troops?

Mr. Du was full of envy for Li Shaoyi at this moment. If one wanted to do something in life, one should be like Li Shaoyi and do whatever he wanted. Unlike himself, who looked glamorous on the outside, but had many things that he dared not even think about, let alone do.

"Reporting to the commander, the Japanese Marines have blocked a nearby street and are currently in a standoff with Director Wu."

Li Shaoyi was also very clear about the situation of the Japanese Marines. They had renovated the two surrounding streets. Normally, many Japanese lived here. Once a war broke out, the two surrounding streets would be connected, and with the help of various buildings, this would be an intact group of bunkers.

Back then, the old man ordered several elite German-equipped divisions to attack, but they failed to take the city because they did not investigate them carefully enough.

"Has the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs shown any results?"

Li Shaoyi had long anticipated the reaction of the Japanese Marines. If they sent troops to search and they were allowed to search, then Japan's face in Pujiang would be gone. Although they had been rubbed several times before, the Japanese Marines were Japan's last face in Pujiang and their last stronghold. It would never be as easy as before, and it might even trigger an all-out war.

"The Japanese Minister to Urae, Honbara Hiroshi, has called several times, hoping to have a meeting with you to resolve this crisis diplomatically. A special envoy from Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Marine Corps, General Uchiyama, is also with Honbara Hiroshi."

The combat staff received the intelligence from ten minutes ago and was ready to report it to Li Shaoyi, but Li Shaoyi had more important things to do, so the report was delayed.

"What about the Western countries?"

Now that the war against Russia is over, Li Shaoyi does not have the confidence to guarantee that Western countries will still stand in his camp, and Japan’s diplomatic work over the years has not been in vain.

"The Junckers continue to support us, but the attitudes of other Western countries are unclear. We hope we can sit down and resolve this issue under the mediation of Western countries."

Li Shaoyi knew this would be the result. Western countries did not want Li Shaoyi to dominate Pujiang alone, so the Japanese Marines were able to stay. This was also a chess piece for them to contain Li Shaoyi. If the entire Pujiang belonged to Li Shaoyi, including them, they might all be liquidated by Li Shaoyi.

Just look at the current situation in the island city and you will know. Originally, Li Shaoyi only caused trouble for the Japanese, but after he had caused all the trouble for the Japanese, the merchants from Western countries in the island city could not escape either. All those who made mistakes, no matter whether it was two years ago or a few years ago, were dug out and evaluated according to the law.

Therefore, after the Japanese Marines in Pujiang left, the bad things done by Western businessmen would definitely be dug out by Li Shaoyi. Western countries also made an assessment of Li Shaoyi. He was indeed the vanguard of the attack on Luosha, but that did not mean that he hated Luosha.

Judging from various circumstances, Li Shaoyi is a staunch nationalist. In his eyes, all foreigners are the same. Therefore, if such a person becomes powerful, it will actually be a threat to countries around the world. But in order to make Luosha uncomfortable, countries stood with Li Shaoyi. Now that he doesn't fight Luosha anymore, we have to curb his development in the south.

"Inform our shipping department that we need to order six to seven transport ships, both military and civilian, with a tonnage of at least 8,000 tons. We will be open to bidding from all countries. This is only the first batch; the second batch will have ten to fifteen ships."

Li Shaoyi thought for a while and said, since we cannot stand together on strategic interests, then we can only stand together on economic interests.

Judging from the current time, the European war will last for nearly two years. If orders are placed now, countries can still produce their own transport ships. Li Shaoyi is also prepared to borrow money from the producing countries. When you start the war, I will use this ship first and talk about the loan later.

Of course, the Americans cannot participate. After all, their currency has always been very strong, and your loan can only be paid to them with interest for free.

When Mr. Du heard about Li Shaoyi's order, he gave a thumbs up. The alliance among Western countries was not reliable, and such a huge order was enough to cause internal problems for them.

According to the current construction cost, each 8,000-ton transport ship would cost at least five million dollars. If we were to order eight, that would be 40 million dollars...
