"After receiving the order, I didn't delay a moment and reported to the Marshal as quickly as possible. Only a few people in the navy knew about this news, and everyone urged me to hurry over. This is no joke. Let me ask them, are they really going south?"

After drinking three cups of wine, Deng Jiugong said nothing else but wanted to know whether what Li Shaoyi said was true. For them as navy, going out of the near sea and deep into the ocean can be said to be a lifelong dream, especially for those bullied overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Our navy has a natural desire to protect them.

We all have the same ancestors. Who can feel good when seeing them being bullied by local colonists?

What's more, when there is a disaster in the country, people donate money at every turn, but when you hold their money and can't do anything, that feeling is really uncomfortable.

"I'm telling you what I'm saying. When have I ever been all talk and no action? We're not the kind of people who pretend to be so. Our 72nd Army has made steady progress from the Peking Police Station to where we are today, and every step forward was made with the help of guns."

Li Shaoyi's words were powerful, and Li Qiankun and Deng Jiugong nodded. Although they joined later and did not follow Li Shaoyi to fight in Beiping, they all knew what Li Shaoyi said. Starting from a dozen people to such a big business now, Li Shaoyi can be regarded as the first person in history. At least in terms of building a team, no one is better than him.

"That's fantastic! Some of our navy members are descendants of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia. They dream of returning home every day, and now their dreams have finally come true."

What Deng Jiugong said is true. In the navy and air force, the children of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia account for a considerable proportion. Because their families are relatively wealthy and have a higher level of education, many of them study abroad in Western countries, so they are also the targets of recruitment by the navy and air force.

Last month, the navy and air force sent a recruitment team to set up a recruitment office somewhere in Southeast Asia, and found more than 300 people for the navy and air force at once. These people are all highly educated. In our country, even if we search the entire area, we probably won’t be able to find these people.

The officer who went to recruit soldiers at that time said that the colonists in various parts of Southeast Asia were making things difficult for us. Although a diplomatic agreement had been signed long ago, some people were still unwilling to cooperate. If it were not for the fight against the Rakshasas, they would probably not allow us to enter.

Especially this Windmill Country, which occupies a large amount of land in Southeast Asia, and the fight against Rakshasas has little to do with them, so these guys cause us the most trouble.

"Don't just talk about the good things. We also have many crises. The primary crisis this time is whether the Japanese can reach Southeast Asia safely. You need to conduct more rehearsals with the Air Force. Once in Southeast Asia, you must be prepared for combat. I don't think the Western countries will fight us, but as the windmill country that is really at a disadvantage, it will jump over the wall when it is desperate."

Li Shaoyi emphasized the three words "Windmill Country". This is also our primary enemy in Southeast Asia. After all, we have to cut flesh from them. Shouldn't we allow them to jump around?

"I've studied the Windmill Kingdom. As a declining empire, it doesn't have much power at all. It relies on playing both sides in the West and flattering the Windsor Empire and the Gaul Empire to maintain its colonies. Otherwise, such a good place would have been swallowed up long ago."

Deng Jiugong looked down on the Windmill Kingdom, but even though he looked down on it, he still had to pay attention to the things that needed attention. When they were the coachmen of the sea, our country was still in a closed-door policy, so there was no way he could compare with them, especially in the ocean.

"I've already sent intelligence personnel to conduct reconnaissance in Southeast Asia. It will take at least two weeks. During these two weeks, each of you will do your own thing and select the most elite personnel. We will encounter many dangers along the way. Whether we can succeed in this battle depends on you."

Li Shaoyi attached great importance to this operation. In addition to being able to unlock heavy cruisers, the most important thing is that he can win the hearts of overseas Chinese. In today's era, overseas Chinese are a very important force.

"Yes!"

The two men stood up at the same time, knocking over the wine glasses on the table, which scared Li Shaoyi. However, he soon realized that this was not the combat command room, so he put his hands down embarrassedly.

Soldiers will develop a kind of muscle memory, especially when talking to their superiors, they will stand up and salute unnaturally.

The three of them became more and more excited as they talked. When Li Qiankun knocked on the table and was about to leave, it was already ten forty. In the major noon parties in Pujiang, this time was not considered late, as many people had just started. However, for ordinary people, this time was already very late, so the two of them had to say goodbye.

"Go back and make thorough preparations. Some of the navy and air force may also need to be sent to accompany them. Of course, whether they send people or not is not our business. I will have someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take care of it. You should hurry up and take care of your own affairs."

Li Shaoyi sent the two men to the gate. There were two rows of soldiers standing straight on the street. These were the guards of these two men. One was the Air Force Commander and the other was the Navy Commander. They were also very important within the 72nd Army. In a place like Pujiang, Li Shaoyi himself would not feel at ease if there were no guards of more than a hundred people.

Now that the situation has finally been established, if the chief officer is assassinated and the development on his side comes to a standstill, it would be a huge loss. Compared with the development of the navy and air force, the money spent on this guard of over a hundred people is nothing.

"Please rest assured, Marshal, we will do our best."

The three of them drank quite a bit of wine, but their minds were still clear. Thinking about being able to lead the fleet to Southeast Asia, they were all very energetic.

"You have performed meritorious service in protecting the two generals. Today is considered an inspection of you. Each of you will receive a month's salary as a bonus."

When the two generals got on the car, Li Shaoyi saw that their guards were well-trained. They merged into one in a short time and blocked all possible attack routes.

It is obvious that they train seriously in normal times, otherwise there would be no such result. They reward when they deserve it and punish when they deserve it. This is the 72nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army!
