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

A newspaper in Singapore quoted a local staff member of the Windsor Empire, but did not directly criticize the Iron Blood Army's invasion of Batavia, the Windmill Kingdom.

Instead, he used a very tactful way to express that Li Shaoyi's behavior was wrong. This gentle way of expression left those who were familiar with the Windsor Empire's way of doing things dumbfounded.

The Windsor Empire benefited from the First Industrial Revolution and has been the leader in the world ever since. Although there are many emerging challengers, the Windsor Empire has always been able to grasp the situation and stay on top of the waves.

Although the major empires were dissatisfied, they used various means to challenge. In the end, instead of shaking the other party's position, they suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, there were fewer challenges. After all, no one is willing to do something that is not easy.

The World War lasted for more than 20 years. Although the Windsor Empire won the war, obtained war reparations, and even divided up some of the Junker colonies, compared with their losses in the war, coupled with the lack of ambition of the domestic top leaders, the first thing they lost was the crown of the number one economy.

Since then, the Windsor Empire's international influence has become weaker and weaker. Although it is still known as the world's number one power, it is just a title. In the minds of others, the United States has long replaced the Windsor Empire, but the United States does not have as many colonies.

In terms of maintaining the old colonial system, the Windsor Empire can be said to have contributed manpower and effort, but this time when Li Shaoyi captured Batavia, the way the Windsor Empire responded made some small colonial countries in Europe dumbfounded. Is he also afraid of Li Shaoyi?

In fact, if you think about it, if you want to stop Li Shaoyi's expansion in Southeast Asia, the Windsor Empire's Far East Fleet should have started to ignite when the incident in Batavia happened. But now so much time has passed, and the Windsor Empire still has the same attitude. I guess they already have their own little tricks in mind.

"I was originally planning to make a trip for you, but it seems that's no longer necessary. The Windsor Empire should have its own distribution method."

On a sunny morning, Li Shaoyi and Mr. Plant were having breakfast together on the terrace of the Governor's Palace. A new friend was arriving today, that was Mr. Cesar, the Governor of Annan of the Gallic Empire.

"That's your business. I will suppress my thoughts. I will contribute manpower and manpower to destroy the old order. I only need to protect the rights of the Chinese. There is also a Java Island. From any aspect, it should not be too much, right?"

Through this incident, Li Shaoyi realized that he knew too little about these colonial empires and thought that they would all stand against him. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate his own country.

The Windmill Country holds such a large piece of fertile land, but it does not have the strength. In fact, the major powers have had this idea for a long time, but as members of the League of Nations, they do not want to have a bad reputation. In addition, the Windmill Country pays a lot of tribute every year, so they did not mess with this matter.

But since Li Shaoyi has already done it, we should neither add fuel to the fire nor stop him. We should just wait and see. When the time comes, we will get our share and the matter will be over. As for the Weeping Windmill Country, I'm afraid no one can do anything about it.

"In my opinion, your demands are not high. I can even sign an agreement with you right now. I guess the Gaul Empire thinks the same. But some people are different. They still hold the crown of the world's number one and want to have a say in everything. It has been very difficult for us to deal with them over the years."

Mr. Plant smiled and said that what Li Shaoyi needed was really not much. With Li Shaoyi's armed strength in Southeast Asia, it was currently second only to the Windsor Empire. If a real fight broke out, the Windsor Empire might not be Li Shaoyi's opponent.

The Windsor Empire's armed forces had long been out of the battlefield. How much combat power did they actually have? Mr. Plant knew that the navy might still have a chance of winning, but as for the army, it would be completely outmatched by the 72nd Army.

Previously, an infantry squad of the Windmill Kingdom had a conflict with the army of the Windsor Empire. The two sides exchanged fire for nearly three days on a 2-kilometer-long front. In the end, they negotiated a settlement, but the damage on both sides was not much different. Even if the Windsor Empire was powerful, it could only be 30% more powerful at most.

Was the behavior of the 72nd Army in Batavia only 30% more powerful than the defenders of Batavia?

Mr. Plant has been busy these two days. He looked around and when he saw the armored vehicles and tanks, he understood in his heart that even if it was three times, let alone 30%, it would still give face to the Windsor Empire's army.

"We Chinese have an old saying: 'If someone respects me an inch, I will respect him a yard.' If my wish can be fulfilled, I will do my best to safeguard your interests in Southeast Asia. After all, your country has invested relatively little in this region. Then I can become a public welfare policeman for this region, helping you maintain your colonial rule. After all, there have been more and more ethnic movements in recent years, and you've been a bit tired of suppressing them."

Li Shaoyi's words struck a chord with Mr. Planck. Countries were constantly reducing their budgets in colonies, only thinking about making profits in the colonies. In addition, with the spread of culture in recent years, many places had already set off a wave of independence, with rebellions occurring on average every month. If Li Shaoyi's army could help in this matter, it would really solve a big problem for them.

"With your sincerity, I believe the issues in Southeast Asia can be resolved quickly."

The smile on Mr. Plant's face became even wider. Finding such an ally in Southeast Asia would be of great benefit to the United States.

"Please sit down for a moment. I'm going to the airport to greet the Governor of the Gaul Empire."

Li Shaoyi looked at the time and it was almost time.

"Cesar and I are old friends. I'll go with you. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It will be easier for you to talk with me there."

Mr. Plant has already decided that the division of Southeast Asia will become a highlight in his career history, so in order to facilitate this matter, he must at least contribute some effort...
