Chapter 571: Attitudes of Various Countries
Li Shaoyi's estimate was not wrong. The Junkers would not make trouble over such things because they did not have much interest in Pujiang. Although there were many enterprises and cooperative organizations in China, the two major concessions in Pujiang were relatively exclusive to the Junkers. When they saw them in trouble, the Junkers would want to jump up and cheer.
As for the Windsor Empire and the Americans, they had long been dissatisfied with the affairs of the French Concession. The concessions of the Windsor Empire and the Americans united to establish the International Settlement. They originally wanted to merge with the Gauls, but these guys were unwilling to do so. This was also an early rift.
In many things, because the development of the International Settlement was not as good as that of the French Concession, these Gauls often laughed at them. Now, they took advantage of this incident to put some pressure on the Gauls. What's more, Li Shaoyi's actions in the north were very much in line with the interests of these two countries in the world. Therefore, after getting some order commitments, these people said that they would not interfere in Li Shaoyi's behavior.
What's more, in the past two years, the Japanese have been arrogant and domineering in Pujiang. The last time Wu Zhenkui came, he suppressed them quite a bit. Now they are showing signs of rising up again. It's just right for Li Shaoyi to give them a good beating.
In a very short time, Wu Zhenkui completed the negotiations. The United States and the Windsor Empire expressed their non-interference, and the Junkers even vaguely expressed their support. Therefore, there was basically no interference in the Fifth Fleet's arrival in Pujiang. It would depend on the attitude of the people of the Gallic Empire. If we can have a good discussion, then there is still a need for us to do it. If you don't want to discuss, what if we sink your warships?
Li Shaoyi understood the principle of picking on the weak. Take the naval strength in the Far East for example, the Japanese must be ranked first, followed by the Windsor Empire, and then the American people.
Although the Gallic Empire had colonies in Indochina, their naval strength was the weakest. After the end of World War I, the Gallic Empire had withdrawn from the ranks of first-class colonial empires. However, in our country, people still think they have that ability.
Li Shaoyi was very clear about the world situation. Taking this opportunity to bully the relatively soft imperialism could be considered as some of the achievements of this stage.
As for the subsidy for attacking Luosha, isn't it just a Gallic Empire? Li Shaoyi can completely refuse it.
What's more, when he came to Pujiang several times before, Li Shaoyi confiscated many properties in the French Concession. Li Shaoyi didn't dare to keep these properties and companies in his own hands, so he asked Mr. Du to help him borrow a lot of money from the banks in the Gallic Empire. After the war broke out, your government and banks would probably be replaced, and I could justifiably deny my responsibility.
Before leaving, Li Shaoyi sent a plane to pick up Liu Xiaoshan and Tang Guoping. He needed to know more about the situation on the northern Xiongnu grassland. Usually, he could learn about it through telephone and telegram, but it was not as good as a real meeting. What's more, these two guys had been clamoring for a long time and insisted on coming to see what a 6,000-ton cruiser looked like. After all, they had never seen it before.
"Big brother..."
When the two men got off the plane, they called him "Big Brother" from the bottom of their hearts, but when they saw the situation around them, they immediately stood up straight and saluted, as there were reporters waiting to take pictures.
"There are reporters here today. When we're together, should we call each other the same way? I can't lose my brotherhood just because I've gotten a higher rank. What's the point of living like that?"
Li Shaoyi whispered as he returned the greeting, and the two brothers nodded happily. They were the two giants of the 72nd Division. Although Li Shaoyi had a lot of troops under his command now, when it came to the absolute elite, the infantry brigade under their command would definitely be at the forefront.
Especially Tang Guoping's First Brigade. He was the first one to select all the new equipment. Of course, when they were fighting, he was the one who had to deal with the toughest challenges. He was the first army to enter the Xiongnu grassland. If you are jealous, you should consider whether you have the ability.
The group first went to see the naval warship and finally had lunch in the canteen on the warship.
"I originally thought the warship was rather cramped, but I didn't expect the dining area to be so nice. It seems the larger the warship, the better the rest areas."
Tang Guoping walked around the entire warship several times, which satisfied his curiosity.
Although Liu Xiaoshan did not show such strong excitement, this was the first time he had seen such a thing. Originally, he was a bag carrier at the train station. If he had not followed Li Shaoyi, how could he have had the opportunity to stand on such a warship, especially a warship with our military flag.
"Sit down and have some food. You can't run away anyway. If you want before you leave, you can stay on this warship at most."
Li Shaoyi pointed to the two seats in front and poured wine for the two brothers personally.
"Country bumpkin..."
Ma Leizi glanced at them sideways, but was held down and beaten up by the two older brothers. This was also a way for brothers to express their feelings. These four brothers were the first to be together, and it was more convenient for them to talk when there was no one else around.
"Don't lie in front of us brothers. I think you've gained a lot of experience recently. Don't always be my guard. You need to do some serious work. I'm going south to Pujiang and I don't know when I'll be back. I may have a lot of things to do. You should stay in the island city and be a good security commander for me."
Li Shaoyi had long wanted to entrust an important task to Ma Leizi, but this guy had been with Li Shaoyi for too long and was always unwilling to take responsibility. He felt that it would be better for him to be the captain of the four teams under Li Shaoyi. When he heard what Li Shaoyi said, he was still a little unwilling.
"Brother always thinks of you. You can't be the captain of the guard forever. Look, we are now brigadier generals. Will you still continue to be the captain of your guard?"
Tang Guoping and Liu Xiaoshan also agreed very much. The brothers started together, but you are now a step behind. It’s not your fault. After all, your brain is not very useful. But you can’t just stand still, otherwise you will fall out of this circle sooner or later.
"Look at the expressions on your faces. What can a Brigadier General do? If you have the guts, go out and fight me one-on-one. I don't believe you can be my match."
Ma Leizi didn't dare to show his teeth to Li Shaoyi, but the two in front of him were not sure. When they heard that they were going out for a duel, Tang Guoping and Liu Xiaoshan looked at each other with fear. I am a civilized person and I don't do such things...
