Li Shaoyi was also very happy after learning that Guo Shaoqiu had blown up Wusongkou.

Appointing this guy as the temporary commander-in-chief seemed to be a correct decision. We need to find some brave people in our team.

What's more, Pujiang will be rebuilt after it is destroyed. No matter how much you want to keep, in the end, everything will be left to the Japanese. Instead of leaving these places to the Japanese, it is better to bomb them into ruins. You can't think so much during wartime.

"Report to the Marshal, Earl Skod, he has arrived."

Li Shaoyi was reading a report on the Pujiang battlefield. Although he was not at the Pujiang battlefield, reports from all over the place came in like snowflakes without any delay. He was also observing the war remotely.

After Li Shaoyi talked with the old earl last time, the old earl went back and started to persuade the Windsor Empire. Now it seems that there should be results, and the box of fake pounds should also be picked up.

In the past few days, Li Shaoyi sent people to follow the old earl. After leaving Li Shaoyi, the old earl returned to the embassy of the Windsor Empire and stayed there without coming out. They should be using their own way to contact the country.

Of course during this time the old earl's secretary came out.

Deposited the money in the Bank of England.

After hearing the news, Li Shaoyi was even happier than the old earl, because this showed that there was no problem with our British pound.

In fact, Li Shaoyi was just too cautious. The counterfeit coins produced by the system were even more real than the real ones, and he also found some specialized currency experts to verify them.

"Dear General Li, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, did I?"

During this meeting, it was obvious that the old man's attitude was much better than before. Although he only took 1 pounds last time, that was just a deposit. Judging from the expression on his face, he should be able to take the remaining money in the box this time.

"Your Excellency, I believe you have good news for me. If that's the case, then we Chinese have an old saying: 'It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar.' Please come over here and try some pre-rain Longjing tea."

When Li Shaoyi saw the greed in the eyes of this old fox, he immediately knew that things were almost done. The Japanese combat strategy he had taken out was actually true.

As long as the spies of the Windsor Empire are not mentally ill, there will be no problem with the truthfulness of the information they have verified in various countries over the years.

In the eyes of these old-fashioned imperialists, both China and Japan are at most regional powers and do not have the strength to compete with them for world hegemony.

Now the Japanese have set their sights on their colonies in Southeast Asia, which makes the people of the Windsor Empire extremely dissatisfied, so they have authorized Earl Scott to teach these Japanese a lesson.

"The tea is excellent, but I have good news for you. This is a mandate from our Ministry of Commerce and the House of Commons. Currently, all major companies in Southeast Asia are essentially under my control. Starting the day after tomorrow, we will announce a price increase of more than double for all our export products to Japan."

Earl Scott said happily that in his opinion it didn't matter whether the Japs were good or bad, but this news would definitely make Li Shaoyi feel comfortable.

Li Shaoyi was indeed happy in his heart, but he was also somewhat in awe of these old imperialist countries in his heart. They only needed to make a decision to influence a country's economic situation.

If we want to reach their level, we still have a long way to go.

"Besides that, there's also the matter of Japanese businessmen and spies in Southeast Asia. I'll have my men fully cooperate with General Li's plan. I just don't know when General Li will be able to complete the preparations. Our top leaders are waiting for this."

The people of the Windsor Empire were not in a hurry before because they had not discovered the Japanese Navy's combat plan. Now that they have the Japanese Navy's combat plan, in order to maintain the security of Southeast Asia, they must wipe out the local Japanese spies and businessmen. Even if some Japanese businessmen are left, they are just some trivial matters.

"One week! I'll be ready in one week. All actions will be carried out under the leadership of His Excellency the Earl. My operatives and I are specifically assigned to handle this matter. All post-war assignments will be under the supervision of His Excellency the Earl."

In this matter, Li Shaoyi was quite cooperative. After all, we were doing things on someone else's territory. If these people caused trouble for you, our action might not succeed.

From the perspective of the Nationalist government, war was only a battlefield affair. From Li Shaoyi's perspective, war was a 360-degree, all-around, three-dimensional war. No matter where, as long as I could inflict heavy damage on the Japanese, I had to find a way to do it.

"From now on, Mr. Li will be my most important friend in the Far East. In the future, we can work together on various activities and gain the greatest benefits."

When the two held hands, Wang Manli also handed the black leather suitcase from that day to the secretary of the old Earl.

After seeing this scene, the old earl's smile deepened.

Although Li Shaoyi paid a certain price, the total amount imported by the Japanese in Southeast Asia was not small, reaching tens of millions of oceans.

After this meeting, the prices of these goods will either increase or their entry into Japan will be delayed, which will have a profound impact on the war.

That afternoon, the Singaporean authorities published a statement in the newspaper, announcing that they had discovered that some Japanese businessmen were engaged in activities that undermined stability in Singapore. Therefore, the authorities would conduct an investigation into more than a dozen representative Japanese businessmen. During the investigation period, all bank accounts and goods in the cargo yards of these people would have to be stopped.

After learning the news, the Japanese military immediately protested to the Windsor Empire's diplomatic department, because these dozen businessmen were the white gloves of the Japanese military, and most of the materials they imported were strategic materials.

Rubber, oil, steel, rice...

Each of these items is in short supply for the Japanese army. Currently, a large number of Japanese troops are fighting in China. If the delivery of these items is delayed, even for just one week, Japan will be stretched.

It is not impossible to use domestic reserves, but for a resource-scarce island country like Japan, the use of domestic reserves must be signed by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

The official in charge of this matter did not want to make such a big fuss, as that would earn the Emperor a slam rap for being incompetent, and his political career might be over.
