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

Chapter 731: Capturing the Windmill Country Merchant

Pearl River Estuary

The fleet finally arrived safely at the southern tip of the motherland. The most dangerous place along the way was averted because of Li Shaoyi's brilliant move.

Everyone was waiting for news, waiting for Japanese planes to take off from Taiwan and then blow up Li Shaoyi's warships. According to many people's ideas, this was in line with the rules, but sometimes the rules may not work.

Especially those Westerners, although they had needed Li Shaoyi before, they also hoped that Li Shaoyi would suffer some losses in this matter. Unfortunately, he did not suffer any losses. He entered and exited Xiamen Port quickly and smashed the Japanese conspiracy. Moreover, because the Japanese were not familiar with night takeoffs and landings, they damaged two planes and six crew members without any attack.

Although the Japanese side has strongly denied it, some experts from all over the country have stood up and made comments in the newspapers. Anyway, the meaning is that the Japanese have suffered a loss. Whether you admit it or not, we can analyze it from the existing intelligence.

"It's been nearly a hundred years since the Windsor Empire's warships stormed from here to Humen, bringing our entire country into close contact with the world. However, that type of contact caught us off guard, and it was from that time that our country began to fall into disaster."

Li Shaoyi was deeply moved when he saw the foreign merchant ships around the Pearl River Estuary. Although Pujiang was also like this, this was the beginning of semi-colonialization after all.

"Marshal, I passed by here before and felt sad, but things are different now because you have built a navy for us and have illuminated the way for all of us. Although we are still small, under your leadership, one day this place will be planned according to our orders."

Ding Hanhai said very confidently that on the way south, he had a new understanding of the strength of the fleet. Originally, he was still somewhat confused in his heart on the training ground, but after these two actual combats, those so-called naval powers were nothing more than that in our eyes.

"Don't be too proud, kid. We're only able to survive now thanks to the help of shore-based aircraft. If we lose that help, do you know what kind of situation we'll be in?"

Li Shaoyi knew that as they marched south and won victories along the way, some young men in the navy had already held their heads high. Ding Hanhai was also a young man, and although he was suppressing himself in this regard, Li Shaoyi could sense from the tone of their conversations over the past two days that these guys were getting a little cocky.

"The Marshal is right, brothers, we have indeed been a little proud these past two days. However, while we are resting in Yangcheng, I will arrange for some people to give them a good lesson."

Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Commander Ding nodded embarrassedly. In fact, it was impossible to suppress all his pride. After all, we were bullied in the past, and now we have finally stood up. How can we stay buried in the darkness forever?

"Has Director Li's telegram arrived?"

Some things only need to be said once and there is no need to emphasize them all the time. After all, the people under him are not good-for-nothings. What Li Shaoyi is worried about now is Li Sibei. Although the action personnel are equipped and Governor MacDonald has expressed his cooperation, it is not his territory after all. When entering the Pearl River Estuary just now, Li Shaoyi kept looking at the Hong Kong River with a telescope. The people around him also knew that another piece of land on our territory had been taken away by the foreign devils, and the Marshal felt uncomfortable.

"Director Li's operation was very successful. All the people on the list were apprehended, including a member of the Windmill Kingdom's royal family. However, no public announcement has been made yet. Governor MacDonald only gave us a few days."

Gu Xiaomeng was holding Li Sibei's telegram in her hand, and the intelligence department's people in Hong Kong also devoted themselves to this operation.

"The operation was very successful, but whether it can achieve its desired effect depends on whether those people from Windmill Country still remember the past."

Li Shaoyi felt that the chips in his hand were not enough. They were just some businessmen from Fengche Country in Hong Kong, and the number of personnel in overseas institutions was pitifully small. He thought it was possible to make Fengche Country bow its head in this way when he first heard about this. However, after careful consideration along the way, he realized that these people might not be able to threaten a government.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the Windmill Kingdom is desperate. Its real strength is there anyway. The Windmill Kingdom does not have much military power in Southeast Asia. Judging from Li Shaoyi's current fleet heading south, if a war really breaks out, we may not lose.

Of course, this is assuming that Western countries do not intervene.

"In half an hour, our intelligence agencies will notify the Windmill government. We will also use various methods to inform their friends back home about those we've captured. In a day or two, Windmill will know what we're doing in Hong Kong. If they value trade and the merchants here, they'll sit down and talk with us and stop persecuting our compatriots. But if they're not happy about this, our actions will make things even harder for them."

Everything has two sides, and it is not possible for you to always succeed in doing things.

When Miss Gu first proposed this suggestion, she also thought that she could force the Windmill Kingdom to surrender, but now that the action has taken place, she feels a little unsure.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if we don't do this, the local Chinese and overseas Chinese are already doomed. We can still have a glimmer of hope by doing this. Let's try our best. After all, this place is not far from Southeast Asia. Order your troops to make some simple supplies here and set off immediately."

Li Shaoyi knew that Gu Xiaomeng had been under tremendous pressure. After all, this matter was proposed by their intelligence department. If it really backfired, it would really be a disaster for their compatriots in Southeast Asia.

But Li Shaoyi didn't think so. Our compatriots were also in dire straits, and the situation couldn't get any worse. We arrested their people in Hong Kong, which was a countermeasure. Li Shaoyi thought this was better than doing nothing, at least we wouldn't lose everything.

Compared to the past, we now have substantial countermeasures. Previously, apart from verbal protests from the diplomatic department, there was nothing. This time, even if we fail, all of the Windmill Kingdom's assets in Hong Kong will be given to McDonald, and the rest will be regarded as compensation...
