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

Minister Chen of the Navy had already made an agreement with Li Shaoyi that as long as Li Shaoyi's telegram came, the naval officers and soldiers must be assembled quickly. Fortunately, although our Long country does not have many warships, there are indeed many naval officers and soldiers from all over the country. Moreover, we only let them drive the boats around and do not expect these people to form combat effectiveness directly. This difficulty is easy to solve.

To put it bluntly, it was an exaggerated version of the fox borrowing the tiger's power. As long as we kept the secret internally, how would the outsiders know that we could only sail and not fight? They only knew that off the coast of Batavia, two 17,000-ton heavy cruisers were alternating to provide cover.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Earl Chatton checked his watch again. The rain near the equator started falling suddenly. It was already eight o'clock in the morning and it was still gloomy. However, according to yesterday's schedule, the talks would start at nine o'clock, so Earl Chatton had to get up, wash his face, and continue the talks with these people.

According to Earl Chatton, of such a huge piece of cake, they only gave us Sumatra Island. What are you thinking? Sumatra Island itself belongs to us, and it should not be brought to the negotiation table.

Part of Sulimantan Island has been occupied by us. If the remaining part is handed over to other countries, there will definitely be various disputes in the future. Moreover, after taking this island, we can also put a certain amount of pressure on Li Shaoyi, so that this guy will not think that Southeast Asia is his backyard in the future.

"What happen to you guys?"

After coming out of the bedroom, Earl Chatton found that several of his men looked unhappy.

"Your Excellency, this is the news we just received. The 72nd Army's Fifth Fleet has received another heavy cruiser. According to observations by our naval personnel, its tonnage is the same as the previous Dingyuan."

After hearing the report from his men, Earl Chatton rushed to the third-floor terrace with the paper in his hand.

Although it was raining heavily outside, Earl Chatton was only wearing pajamas. The people behind him quickly brought an umbrella, but the old earl didn't care about it at all. He just looked at the bay in the distance with an incredible look on his face. The two warships were as big as hills, and his men did not lie.

"These damn Junkers, are they crazy? They don't have the strength to expand in the Far East, so they give all the shipbuilding capacity to these Dragon people?"

According to the old count, these warships must have been built by the Junkers. As for where they were shipped from, that's simple, isn't it? The sea is full of routes, and these ships are only taking the shortest and safest route. But if you can take a long route, no one will be able to detect you in the vast ocean.

Although humans have been exploring the ocean for hundreds of years, only about 10% of it has been explored so far. The remaining 90% is usually not visited by anyone except some scientific researchers.

"They shouldn't interfere with our negotiations. After all, General Li's demands have already been agreed to, and we don't have any clauses against them."

An attendant whispered that he hoped to ease the current tension, but there was no relaxation on the faces of the others. We asked for Kalimantan Island, which was actually putting pressure on Li Shaoyi. After the negotiations ended yesterday, there was no news about this warship, but this warship appeared today, which means that this warship has been cruising in the open sea, but we just didn't notice it.

"Connect me to General Li."

Time is urgent now. It is obviously too late to meet with Li Shaoyi before starting the talks, so it is completely acceptable to have the talks over the phone now.

"Good morning, Your Excellency. Did you sleep well last night?"

Hearing Li Shaoyi's formal greeting, the old earl's mouth twitched. Life was still bearable before he saw your warship, but now with your warship, he can't sleep tonight.

"General Li, let's not beat around the bush. The appearance of your warship must be to achieve some purpose. I want to know what conditions they gave you."

Lord Chatton's tone was still very arrogant, but the fact that he took the initiative to make this call was already inferior.

"Your Excellency is truly quick-witted. The appearance of my warship is indeed intended to expedite our negotiations. Securing a victory is what we should pursue. The Gallic Empire has already agreed. Once their demands are met, I can build airports in Indochina and Kalimantan."

The appearance of the two heavy cruisers must have sufficient appearance fees. Li Shaoyi told Count Chatton the news, and the meaning was very clear, that is, I am ready to support the Gauls. If you want me to change my mind, you have to see what tricks you have.

"There's no way they can get Kalimantan. This is an empty promise."

Earl Chatton almost yelled, but Li Shaoyi on the opposite side still looked very relaxed. You said that this will not have any effect on changing the outcome of the negotiations. What we need to see are the actual benefits. Only the benefits that can be seen on the table can impress me. This kind of yelling is useless.

"The Earl may be right, but some things are hard to say. The development of events is always changing. No one can decide a single thing, right?"

Li Shaoyi spoke slowly and leisurely, which made the Earl feel very disgusted, because in the Earl's heart, Li Shaoyi was just an inferior person. Such an inferior person actually spoke to him in such a tone. If it were a few years ago, he would have thrown Li Shaoyi into the sea to feed the fish.

But at this moment, looking up and seeing the two heavy cruisers in the distance, the Earl tried to calm himself down. With Li Shaoyi's support, today's negotiations would definitely be different from the past. If you don't agree, you will be an enemy of the other three parties, or continue to strengthen the strength of the Far East Fleet.

Although the Windsor Empire's naval fleet still maintains a huge tonnage, most of its warships are already old and outdated. Moreover, there are fleets stationed all over the world. The Far East Fleet has already reached its maximum size. It is obviously impossible to continue to increase the number of warships. The mainland also needs naval protection.

"General Li, what do you think if I also agree to your building an airport in Kalimantan and I also allow you to build an airport in Bangkok?"

As he said this, the old count felt as if a knife was cutting his flesh.
