Chapter 738: Experts and Scholars Who Don’t Eat Food
Dingyuan cruiser
"I really don't know what the hell these scholars in our country have been raised on. They usually act so righteous, but now I feel sick when they spout this and that plan to save the country. I don't know how much money they've been paid to help the Gallic Empire hype up our threat."
Looking at some drafts on the table, Gu Xiaomeng was so angry that she was almost speechless. These drafts were just collected by domestic intelligence departments. In about a few hours, they would appear in major newspapers, and some newspapers had already received money and were ready to publish them on the front page.
"Director Gu, calm down. In fact, in our country, it has always been like this. There has never been a shortage of passionate patriots, but there has also been a shortage of people who betray their country and their ancestors. Think about the past few decades. If it weren't for these people who betrayed their ancestors, would foreigners be able to live so freely on our land?"
Qian Ruiguo is older, so he has seen more of these things, and he has his own mentality, that is, these so-called scholars, you say yours, I do mine, let's not interfere with each other, and in the end we will see who is more powerful with your mouth or my hands.
Using facts to slap them in the face is less labor-intensive than doing anything else and can produce visible results.
"Xiao Qian is right. You work in the intelligence department, so you should have met more people. Don't worry about domestic affairs. We have people watching over them. Li Qiankun has almost mobilized the planes. It will take only eight or nine hours for them to reach the southwestern provinces. We should get ready. We will be in Batavia soon."
Compared with others, Li Shaoyi was in a very good mood. He had previously spoken with Mr. Plant from the United States. Li Shaoyi carefully tested the situation and found that the other party was just as Lao Zheng from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had said, and they also wanted to eat meat.
As long as they have this idea, they will be on the same level as us. As long as it is feasible, the United States can easily stand behind us when a conflict occurs. Now with the addition of aircraft from the southwest region, the Gallic Empire has actually withdrawn from this conflict, so only the Windsor Empire is left.
Of the original three giants, one has been eliminated without any war, which is far beyond Li Shaoyi's estimation. Moreover, the comprehensive national strength of the people of the Windsor Empire has declined sharply recently, and it seems that they will not fight against him head-on. If there is only the Windmill Country left, the probability of my success in driving a nail into Southeast Asia is more than 80%.
After hearing Li Shaoyi's words, smiles appeared on the faces of those present. After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination. They skipped the visit to Luzon Island. Some people still felt a little regretful. After all, this was our first official visit to the south.
As soon as Li Shaoyi finished speaking, a communications officer came in. Fifteen nautical miles to our left, the Windmill Kingdom sent two warships to greet us, and the sailing route for us had already been determined.
"These damn guys have bad intentions. Look at the route they set for us. They want us to split the entire fleet into a long line and go in one by one. If it's because of the terrain, we can do it this way, but they should be preventing us from causing trouble."
Li Shaoyi had just arrived at the combat command room when he heard Ding Hanhai's voice in front of him. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the route provided by Fengche Country.
"A little impatience can ruin a great plan. We should be more restrained on someone else's territory. Haven't you studied the terrain here? We're only sending part of the fleet in, and the rest are waiting outside. If we all go in, we'll inevitably be forced to retreat."
Li Shaoyi looked at the terrain of Batavia and said that the Windmill Kingdom had been operating here for many years. There was a bay inside the port, and the Windmill Kingdom had built a large number of artillery batteries on the surrounding mountains. This was also to prevent someone from capturing the port and they would have no counterattack capability. Therefore, not all of our fleets could go in. If all of them went in, if the other party had any bad intentions, we would probably be in trouble.
"The Dingyuan, two other destroyers, and our troop transports will go in. The remaining warships will be wandering around. In addition to the Windmill Kingdom's warships, there are also warships from the Windsor Empire. Originally, a light cruiser and two destroyers from the Blast Furnace Empire were also here. After hearing that our aircraft were heading south, they have already returned to Annan."
Ding Hanhai made some marks on the map. The Windmill Kingdom had a total of six warships locally. Of course, they were all old-fashioned, and there were even coal-fired warships.
The Far East Fleet of the Windsor Empire cannot be underestimated. This time, Li Shaoyi sent a fleet here, which is relatively close to their main anchorage in Singapore in Southeast Asia, so he sent out a task force early on. It consisted of a 16,000-ton heavy cruiser and two destroyers, which have been patrolling around.
"The development of this matter is within our expectations. Just as you said, our fleet is divided into two parts."
Li Shaoyi hasn't heard the prompt sound yet. If he can hear the prompt sound, it means that the 16,000-ton heavy cruiser can be unlocked. When this thing is taken out, our voice in Southeast Asia will increase a lot.
In fact, the navy has been a military branch with strong symbolic significance for a long time. The Windsor Empire has always been the leader in the navy, but they did not fight many naval battles. But when their warships appeared, most countries bowed their heads, including some old powers. Either you fight or you bow your head. This is the role of the navy.
Seeing Li Shaoyi's fleet enter the port as required, some people in Windmill Country smiled. They thought Li Shaoyi was a thorn in the side. After all, they had investigated Li Shaoyi's life. They were also prepared to argue with Li Shaoyi on the issue of entering the port. Who knew that the other party would just reply with two words: agree.
Seeing that the Dragon Kingdom fleet was divided into a long strip, Governor Mandlake felt that Li Shaoyi was nothing special. He just had a slightly tough reputation before, but it seemed that when he really came to our territory, he knew how to do things.
"Resend the fleet entry notice..."
