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

In fact, the Western countries' reactions to Li Shaoyi's actions this time are different from their last times. The last time Li Shaoyi was causing trouble in Pujiang, the Western countries all supported him. However, after the Japanese fleet withdrew, they realized their own shortcomings, so it may not be so easy for Li Shaoyi to take action this time.

Li Shaoyi also wanted to confront foreigners directly, but we ignored them.

But the reality is that this is not the case. Several large industrial areas in the north, including the railways under construction, have inextricable ties with foreigners. If we turn against them now, it will not benefit us at all.

The Junkers certainly hoped that Li Shaoyi would turn against other countries so that all equipment and technical personnel would rely on Junkers, but Li Shaoyi knew what the ancestors said, that all eggs should not be put in one basket.

Even though we are as close to the Junkers as a family now, if we only have one partner, we will be controlled by them in every way.

Therefore, Li Shaoyi had to place a large order, give some benefits to Western countries, and promise not to infringe on their interests in Pujiang, in exchange for guarantees from various countries on Li Shaoyi's actions in Pujiang.

This time, the Japanese Marine Corps entered a state of emergency, and Japan also consulted with Western countries. Although these countries did not explicitly express their support for Japan, their attitude was much better than last time.

Unexpectedly, just after Li Shaoyi put forward the large purchase order, the attitudes of Western countries became unclear again.

"These damn bastards only care about money. They don't know that if they let you make money now, you won't be able to stand firm here in the future. All countries should unite to suppress Li Shaoyi."

Mr. Hiroshi Motohara, the Japanese Minister to Pujiang, said angrily.

His request to see Li Shaoyi was blocked, so he wanted to meet with the consuls of various countries. The contact mechanism had already been established. Although the countries did not express it clearly, they would never let the last incident happen again.

Unexpectedly, Li Shaoyi threw out a purchase list, which made the attitudes of Western countries hesitant again.

"These Westerners are so gullible. If you're counting on them to support us, you'd better give up on it. But don't we in Japan have any corresponding orders?"

Marine Corps Commandant Heijiro Uchiyama said with a frown.

A few months ago, he looked down on Li Shaoyi's army, thinking that it was just a well-equipped army of the Long Kingdom warlords and that it could not do anything to him.

But now he has read various reports on the disastrous defeat of the Russian Far East Military Region, including the losses of the Kwantung Army, several times. From this, he also knows that Li Shaoyi's army is not only well-equipped, but also truly combat-effective.

In front of his subordinates, he always said that there was still a certain gap between Li Shaoyi's army and his own Marines, but in his heart, he certainly knew who was more powerful.

"Our domestic shipbuilding industry is also developing rapidly. In order to ensure the continued development of our shipbuilding industry, the Imperial Procurement Department has cut all purchases of foreign warships and transport vessels. This way, once our slipway is built, we will have a steady stream of orders."

Ben Yuankuan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Originally, this was a good thing, but he didn't expect that after everything was localized, he would have fewer friends internationally.

"It looks like we'll have to rely on ourselves again in this conflict."

After listening to the ambassador's words, Commander-in-Chief Uchiyama was not in a hurry. Although many warships had withdrawn, the blocks around the Marine Corps had been renovated. If Li Shaoyi's army dared to come, we will let them see what a steel fortress is.

During this period, the Marines used nearly 4,000 tons of steel and countless amounts of cement to completely transform the two surrounding blocks. If they had launched an attack from land, every step would have come at a cost in blood.

"Can we avoid fighting or not? Have you forgotten his navy?"

Commander-in-Chief Uchiyama was originally very confident. After all, he was personally in charge of all the defensive works. However, after hearing what the ambassador said, this guy's head began to throb.

Li Shaoyi also has a navy stationed in Pujiang. The power of the naval guns is no joke. Coupled with the aerial bombs of the Pujiang Air Force, if he is determined to destroy you, he will do anything.

It would be very difficult for others to bomb the area around the Japanese Marines. It would take one or two months just to transport the bombs, not to mention that China is an agricultural country and definitely cannot produce them.

But when has logistics ever been a problem for the 72nd Army?

According to the intelligence they obtained, hundreds of tons of bombs were dropped every day on the Luosha battlefield in the north. This was also the basis for their victory. Even if we turn this place into an iron lump, won't there be a day when it will be blown apart?

"I have already sent a telegram to the Admiralty. If they still want to have a foothold in Pujiang, then no matter what the reason, the Admiralty must send a fleet."

Commander Uchiyama paused for a moment, and finally said this. He was different from other Japanese generals. When there were signs of conflict, he had to think of the worst case scenario.

"If the navy sends a fleet, we still have a 50% chance of winning."

Benyuan Kuan stood in front of the map and calculated that he should be able to catch up with the navy's arrival time.

Chug tug tug…

Just as the two were talking, the sound of heavy machine guns was heard outside the military camp. It was obvious that it was not the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, but the 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun equipped by the 72nd Army.

"What's going on? Has there been a firefight?"

Benyuan Kuan said with some blame.

Didn't I tell you earlier to keep your men calm and not to engage in conflict with the 72nd Army?

Commander Uchiyama's face was also full of confusion. He immediately picked up his phone and asked what was going on outside.

"Commander, we did nothing wrong. It was the 72nd Army who fired upon us without reason. More than a dozen machine guns opened fire on us. Six soldiers have been killed and eleven seriously injured."

An officer in charge of guarding the perimeter said anxiously.

The two sides were in a standoff, and they had thought there would be no shooting. However, the officers from the Pujiang Police Department, on some unknown order, quickly retreated behind the armored vehicles and other vehicles. Then, the heavy machine guns at the front opened fire, catching them off guard...
