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

"Mr. Cesar mentioned to me that if you can support them in acquiring Kalimantan, then you can build an airport somewhere on Kalimantan, especially in the northern part, to serve as a liaison station with China. Of course, you can also build an airport in one of the three countries on the Indochina Peninsula."

Originally, Li Shaoyi had an attitude of staying out of the matter, but after hearing what Mr. Plant said, he immediately became excited. Although we can now communicate with the country by plane, the transit station is in the hands of the Gallic Empire. If we are allowed to build two airports in the middle, then this line will be straightened.

From now on, we don’t need to borrow anyone else’s airport, and can use our own airport to communicate with the country.

Of course, the Gauls had this confidence. They believed that even if Li Shaoyi built an airport on their own territory, the control was still in their hands, and they had to close it if they were asked to. However, they did not know that Li Shaoyi already had a very sophisticated airport strategy.

Whenever we build an airport on someone else's territory, a lot of ground troops will soon move in, including the ground crew. Once they pick up their guns, they are all top-notch fighters. They will have no problem holding out for at least a few days. During these few days, relying on our huge air transport capacity, as long as we are in the aircraft network, we can transport 800 to 1,200 combat personnel per hour.

By then, this will not just be an airport, but a real military base. According to the military strength of the Gauls, putting out such a fire is only a dream for them.

"Don't rush to give me an answer, think about it."

Mr. Plant stood up and put on his coat, then patted Li Shaoyi on the shoulder and said, "We have to go back and rest. I don't know how many brain cells have been burned out by this whole day of negotiations."

Looking at the direction where Mr. Plant's car left, Li Shaoyi also grinned. As long as there is a fight, we will gain benefits. He was originally thinking of how to negotiate with the Gauls, rent a piece of land on their territory, and then build an airport. Now it seems that he can save the trouble.

This Governor Cesar is really good at understanding people's hearts. Of course, if you want me to do something for you, you must first give me what you deserve. Don't write me a blank check. I won't buy it.

"Bring me the map."

Before Mr. Plant's car drove out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Li Shaoyi had already ordered his men to take out the map of the three countries in Indochina Peninsula, saying, "We need to find a suitable location to build an airport."

"There's no need to look at this. Air Force Commander Li has already completed his analysis of the Southeast Asian region. According to what he said before, planes taking off from southwestern my country can fly all the way to Phnom Penh."

Gu Xiaomeng was standing next to Li Shaoyi just now, so she basically heard most of the conversation between Li Shaoyi and Mr. Plant. So when Li Shaoyi wanted to look at the map, she immediately drew a red circle on the map.

Next to it is Li Qiankun's analysis of various places in Southeast Asia. Phnom Penh is located in the southern part of the three countries in the Indochina Peninsula. Our domestic aircraft can reach here at the maximum range, refuel here, and then fly to Kalimantan Island.

Of course, some long-distance transport aircraft can also go directly to Batavia without stopping in Kalimantan.

"Li Qiankun really made the right choice. I brought him here to be the Air Force Commander. This shows how good my vision is. He not only manages the affairs of the north, but also analyzes the affairs of the south for you."

What Li Shaoyi said was all true. Li Qiankun, the Air Force Commander, could almost be said to be a hexagonal warrior. He would do everything he could for you, and as long as you told him what he couldn't do, he would find a way to solve it for you.

"Don't be too happy yet. If the people of the Windsor Empire were so easy to give in, I don't think these two countries would have offered such a price. The Gauls are also very keen on land. Look at the entire African continent; it has almost been divided up by a few countries."

Gu Xiaomeng could only pour a bucket of cold water on Li Shaoyi at this time to let Li Shaoyi see the actual situation clearly.

"Send a telegram to Commander Chen of the Navy and tell him that he must now carry out what he promised me. I don't care what method he uses. Within the next two days, I can dispatch aircraft to transport 2,000 naval officers and soldiers."

Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Gu Xiaomeng was completely confused. How could these two things be useful? The navy is not the army. If your naval officers and soldiers come here, will you give them guns and let them fight on land? The Windsor Empire's greatest strength is its naval power. You don't have warships? What's the point of having a navy?

"Marshal, why is this?"

Ding Hanhai had been listening, and after hearing Li Shaoyi's order, his mind was full of question marks. These seemed to be two completely unrelated things. To get the Windsor Empire's consent, was it enough to just transport two thousand naval officers and soldiers?

"It's like this. We will soon receive a second heavy cruiser, and the Zhenyuan will also be replaced with a heavy cruiser."

Li Shaoyi's words froze these people instantly. No one expected this result. The Dingyuan heavy cruiser has a full load displacement of 17,000 tons. It took almost all of our idle naval officers and soldiers to allow this cruiser to stroll in the sea. It has not yet formed combat effectiveness.

Now another one is coming out?

"General, is there no joking in the army?"

Ding Hanhai's hands were shaking at this moment. When they set out from China, the 10,000-ton treaty-type cruiser had already made the entire navy sleepless. This had never happened before.

After arriving in Batavia, Ding Hanhai saw the giant cruiser when he woke up. He didn't care about being laughed at by others, and even ran to the warship himself, lying on the deck and crying for ten minutes.

Now another one has appeared. Did they all come out from the bottom of the sea?

"When have I ever lied to you? Hurry up and send a telegram to Minister Chen. With two such warships patrolling at the same time, I believe that anyone in the Windsor Empire who is not stupid will know how to make a decision."

Li Shaoyi rolled his eyes but did not blame his men. After all, the navy was afraid of being poor. Having a 2,000-ton warship could make everyone excited for a while. This kind of 17,000-ton heavy cruiser was something they would not even dare to dream of, let alone put in reality. It was beyond their imagination.
