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

At five o'clock in the morning, Li Shaoyi saw that everyone arrived on time and nodded with satisfaction. Originally, the meeting could have been held last night, but because of his absurdity, everyone had to get up early again. Li Shaoyi still felt a little guilty, so he asked the pastry chef in the office to prepare a hearty breakfast.

Air Force Commander Li Qiankun is used to eating Western food, so bread, eggs and the like are just what he likes.

Navy Commander Deng Jiugong is different. He eats three baskets of dumplings, one in each bite.

"After this meeting, I won't emphasize anything else. It would be best if we could set sail within two to three weeks. The rest is all up to you. There's a two million yen operation fund for each of you in the car outside. Anyone who stands in our way will be paid directly."

Li Shaoyi made his words so clearly that the two men nodded with a wry smile. Although they were not very comfortable with the corruption within the Nationalist government, if you want to get things done quickly and well, spending money is the easiest way.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I've already prepared the personnel list. The warship will be brought to Pujiang as soon as possible for a temporary anchorage. It will mainly be out there for two to three days of acclimatization cruise, and then we can set off immediately."

Deng Jiugong's navy is quite efficient. From the day Li Shaoyi had this idea, he had already started looking for personnel. Some of them will be transferred from within the navy, and the other part will be seconded from the Central Navy. Anyway, there are enough sailors.

There are enough supplies on the transport ship, not to mention going to Southeast Asia, even if you want to go to the Australian continent, there are enough supplies of all kinds on it. After arriving in Southeast Asia, President Chen has promised to get us supplies.

"Marshal, I'm not saying that President Chen has any problems with his abilities, but there are always unexpected things. What if President Chen can't get these supplies? What should we do then?"

There is no one else in this room, we are all our own people. We are here to solve the problem behind closed doors. If you don't raise the problem just to save someone's face, then you are not a member of the 72nd Army.

Li Qiankun also looked at Li Shaoyi nervously. These are all action plans. It is better for us to have ideas now than to grope around blindly when the time comes.

"We have guns and cannons, are you still worried about not having supplies? It's not easy without me. Let's find a relatively prosperous city and fire a few shots first. If they agree to our demands, everyone will be happy. But if they don't, we can just do what the foreign devils did near our coast."

Li Shaoyi's words made Deng Jiugong very happy. If that's the case, then we are also a great power.

"Others have already found their way. We just need to continue along this path. Let's make it clear to all our brothers that this trip south is indeed dangerous. This is not a normal diplomatic visit."

Our brothers must be prepared for battle. If they don't have this mentality, they will suffer losses when they go there.

"There are seven people from the diplomatic department traveling south with us. Here's the list. I've screened them all, and none of them are looking to cause trouble. However, the Windmill Country Embassy in Nanjing hasn't given us a definitive response yet. To put it bluntly, we haven't received a response from them on this trip south."

The smile on Li Qiankun's face disappeared. Li Shaoyi had anticipated this long ago. The Dragon Kingdom's fleet was heading south, obviously targeting the Windmill Kingdom. If they were strong in Southeast Asia, they would certainly not be afraid of your visit, but now they are weak. In addition, Li Shaoyi has a temporary honeymoon relationship with Western countries. If something really happens, Western countries will not blindly favor him.

"This is their normal reaction. We must carry forward the spirit of enduring hardship and perseverance. We must move forward even when there are difficulties, and we must create difficulties even when there are none. In short, no one can stop us from heading south to Southeast Asia. Anyone who dares to stop us will be the enemy of our 72nd Army."

Li Shaoyi's words set the tone for this matter. If anyone else talks nonsense about this matter, they would be the enemy of the 72nd Army.

Many people within the National Government expressed their opinions, some supporting Li Shaoyi and some opposing him. Of course, the majority opposed him. They thought that Li Shaoyi was a bit arrogant. He had just purchased a few warships and was actually going to challenge the traditional maritime powers. This was simply out of his mind.

The supporters' words are also very clear, that is, the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia are connected with us, and we are the descendants of Yan and Huang. Now life is not easy, and President Chen has returned to China to ask for help. If we remain indifferent, it will hurt people's feelings. Think about how they supported us when the country was in trouble in the past. Put yourself in their shoes, and we cannot sit idly by when we have the strength.

In the next few days, half of the country saw the speed of the 72nd Army.

On the day after the meeting, three planes flew to three airports in southern Fujian Province and began preliminary surveys of the three airports.

At the same time, the southbound fleet also set sail from the island city, with Pujiang as its destination.

From the northern airports, dozens of aircraft flew south in batches and were first stationed at several airports in the Yangtze River Delta. After the renovation of the southern airports was completed, they immediately entered southern Fujian Province.

In fact, in Li Shaoyi's plan, Guangzhou in the south is also a very important part.

The newly appointed leader of the Guangdong Army had a close relationship with Li Sibei's grandfather, so Li Shaoyi handed the matter over to him, but there was no set rules yet.

When the island city's fleet arrived in Pujiang, Li Sibei also returned by plane from the south.

"How did the talk go?"

This was the first thing Li Shaoyi said when I entered his office, but he rolled his eyes at me. He had worked hard for me for so many days, so you should at least ask him about his well-being. This shouldn't be a reason for him to roll his eyes at me.

"I'm just concerned about the outcome of the negotiations. I've been having trouble acclimatizing to the climate in the south. I don't know how many medicines I've taken. My stomach is suffering."

Li Sibei said this angrily, but a smile appeared on Li Shaoyi's face. If the situation was not serious, he probably wouldn't be so naughty. Judging from the current situation, the deal should be done.

"Once the army moves, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars a day. How can I not be anxious?"

Li Shaoyi personally poured a cup of hot water for Li Sibei, and his eyes were indeed fixed on the folder in Li Sibei's hand.

"It's basically the same as in Minnan Province, but they've made a different request..."

Seeing Li Shaoyi's anxious look, Li Sibei decided not to keep him in suspense.
