Chapter 721 The Glory of China
Because of the events in Southeast Asia, the southbound fleet prepared to depart in advance. According to the original departure time, there were still more than ten hours to prepare, but after receiving the news from Southeast Asia, Li Shaoyi made a temporary decision to depart early.
Minister Gu has already asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest, but it is of little use. Western countries often respond to our diplomatic anti-epidemic efforts with a smile, but they do not solve any problems for us.
"We are incompetent and useless. We have to send you off early. Are the soldiers' preparations okay?"
Standing on the naval dock, Minister Gu said with some sorrow that he had always hoped that diplomatic occasions would be fair, but unfortunately after so many years of ups and downs, those ideas in his mind in the early years had long disappeared with the waves.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Gu. We are always ready for battle. Leaving early won't have much impact on us. Colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this time we will go together. I will definitely let you know how effective our diplomatic protest will be in the future."
Li Shaoyi had no good face towards those who surrendered out of fear of death, but he respected Minister Gu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing Li Shaoyi's words, Minister He's mouth twitched. No matter where Li Shaoyi went, he was an unstable factor. The overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia had been suffering from the invasion of Western colonists for a long time. The National Government also wanted to take control, but the problem was that it lacked the ability.
This time when the fleet went south, they also used the big banner to deceive a large number of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. The government donations alone were not small, so they would definitely not stop them in this matter. What's more, the Military and Political Department knew Li Shaoyi's way of doing things very well.
The Windmill Kingdom was once powerful in history, but now it's no longer any use. But then again, Japan and Luosha are also powerful now, but in Li Shaoyi's eyes, aren't they just dirtbags? He'll hit you if he says he'll hit you.
"The glory of China depends on you."
Minister Gu nodded with tears in his eyes. He certainly understood the meaning of Li Shaoyi's words. This kind of respect cannot be won by just a few words. One must fight with his own life. Who knows if any of the young men who are being sent away will die for their country abroad.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely fight for the rise of our country."
Facing the people who came to see him off, Li Shaoyi straightened himself up, saluted everyone, and then walked quickly towards the Dingyuan cruiser.
"salute."
At the command of the officer on duty, thousands of officers and soldiers at the naval dock raised their hands in unison. They wished they could board the warship at this moment and follow the Dingyuan all the way south to spread the power of our country.
At the same time, across from the naval dock, countless ordinary people were cheering in unison, but the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks in broad daylight drowned out their cheers.
On both sides of the estuary, national flags are waving everywhere. This is also a very important lesson for the entire Chinese nation.
Since the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet, we have not sent a fleet out for a long time. This time, not only is the fleet large in size, it can be said to have reached the highest level in history, but it will also go to the Chinese in Southeast Asia who have suffered the most. This can be said to carry the hopes of a large number of compatriots.
"Fire the cannon."
At the command of a naval officer, twelve naval guns began to fire salutes, and at the same time, the guns on the destroyer also began to respond.
At this moment, many foreigners in Pujiang had unhappy expressions on their faces. In their opinion, the Chinese navy was truly rising.
They were not so happy in their hearts. There were only so many resources in the world. Longguo had always been leading the development of the entire world, but it had fallen behind in the last few decades. If it really stood up again under the leadership of Li Shaoyi, then the world resources they obtained would definitely be greatly reduced. Could they still live as comfortably as they do now?
When the 72nd Army attacked Luosha some time ago, Western countries all blindly supported it. However, after calming down, they conducted a simple military analysis and found that the 72nd Army had grown into a behemoth.
Whether facing Russia or Japan, the 72nd Army has its own set of effective policies, so the threat theory of the 72nd Army has already emerged in various countries. If Li Shaoyi continues to be allowed to develop, the 72nd Army will snowball and become the veritable King of the North of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Although they have not yet entered the inland areas and are all stationed in the desolate places in the north, that is because Li Shaoyi does not want to fight a civil war. If he continues to expand his territory, how many of the warlords in the south of Longguo can withstand it?
Even the Central Army of the National Government would not be a match for the 72nd Army. This time the Central Army entered North China, which seemed to be a victory on the surface. However, after a careful study of the various games behind it, it was discovered that Li Shaoyi still protected his personal interests under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
The Jinling National Government was on the verge of victory, but whether this victory was a joyful or sad one, perhaps only those old people knew.
As for the 29th Army, it did not achieve much victory. Their so-called victory was all achieved with the help of the 72nd Army. Many visionary foreign strategists have said that the situation in North China was handled by Commander Li of the 72nd Army.
He can withdraw today and come back tomorrow.
The most important thing is that Commander Li is expanding too fast, not only in Longguo, but now he is extending his reach to Southeast Asia, which is the stronghold of major Western powers in the Far East.
If he were allowed to interfere, there would be many variables in Southeast Asia in the future. Therefore, when the warships left Pujiang, photos of these warships were also placed on the tables of the rulers of Western countries.
In response to these issues, Western countries quickly held meetings to discuss them, and with the help of Fengche Country's diplomats, more than ten hours after Li Shaoyi left Pujiang, Western countries had reached a preliminary consensus, which was to turn Li Shaoyi's trip to Southeast Asia into a normal diplomatic visit.
As for other matters, if Li Shaoyi insists on doing so, other countries will intervene diplomatically. As for military intervention, it is only a proposal from some people and has not been passed...
