Chapter 749 Want to fool me?
Li Qiankun has been really worried and anxious recently, but he also knows that this matter must be completed. If it is not completed, after the gunshots in Southeast Asia are heard, Li Shaoyi and his men may not have any follow-up reinforcements.
The navy is strong enough, but the marines have only about 2,000 people, plus more than 1,000 young and strong local Chinese and overseas Chinese. It is possible to control the entire Batavia, but the Windmill Kingdom still has a lot of troops in Southeast Asia. If you want to stop their attack, then this number of people is far from enough.
What's more, the Windmill Kingdom has ruled Batavia for such a long time, and the people inside must have some kind of relationship with them. If we are short of manpower, even if we only control this one city, there will be chaos.
Therefore, the Air Force must transport people over quickly, only in this way can nothing go wrong. The Navy's transport ship dare not set off at this time. Without the escort of powerful warships, if the Navy sends out a transport ship alone, it would be equivalent to delivering food to the Japanese.
Therefore, even if Batavia was captured, apart from one or two naval escorts a month, the rest of the travel would have to rely on the air force.
Fortunately, our air force is developing rapidly, and there are many capable people from top to bottom. Of course, the most important thing is Dong Yueyan's airline, which has already figured out the situation here.
When Li Shaoyi first invested in the airline, everyone thought it was for making money. Now those people have come to understand that making money is just a small goal. The most important thing is to cooperate with our strategic actions. If a strategic action is successful, it doesn’t matter if we don’t make money for two years.
Governor Mandrake was in a very good mood because the fleet Li Shaoyi was on would leave after tomorrow afternoon. The two sides had a friendly meeting today. The Governor personally promised that the living environment of the Chinese would be improved in the future and that several seats would be given to the Chinese among the senators.
The local Chinese and overseas Chinese were also very happy about this result. Governor Mandlake knew very well that this was just a trick to fool Li Shaoyi away. After Li Shaoyi's fleet left, what would happen if they gave you ten seats? The parliament here is just a decoration. Even if you discuss and decide something, the governor will just shake his head, and your half-month discussion will be in vain.
For the Governor, anything is possible now. You didn't ask me to do it then. After your fleet leaves, the world is still ours. We can do whatever we want. Can your fleet come back? This is not playing house.
"Oh, dear, you are so beautiful. I like this state the most."
Looking at his beautiful maid, the Governor felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. He drank some Chinese medicine prescribed by a Chinese doctor in the evening. It must be said that these Chinese medicines were very useful. They could make an old man in his class look as youthful as a young man.
Although the maid was very disgusted, she also knew that the governor in front of her was the local tyrant, so she could only put on a different face, saying that she liked him very much, and then went to greet him.
Time passed by minute by minute. Although the maid felt very sick, she could not spoil the fun because the governor was about to reach the top of the mountain. The governor was moody and had killed countless people in similar incidents before. No one held him accountable, or no one dared to.
Judging from the expression on the Governor's face, it was almost over. But at this moment, there was a violent tremor in the distance, and all the glass on the windows shattered. The lights in the room were off, but now it was as bright as day because of the firelight in the distance.
Ammunition depot!
The Governor was very clear about the situation in Batavia. After all, the layout around here was according to his ideas. The place where the explosion occurred was the largest ammunition depot of the Windmill Kingdom in Southeast Asia.
The ammunition depot is surrounded by two infantry battalions, which are their most elite troops in Batavia. If their combat effectiveness is not strong, they will not be sent to defend the ammunition depot.
"Gloria's infantry battalion is finished..."
After the Governor said this, he didn't bother to put on his trousers and rushed to the window quickly. The maid's teeth almost hurt him.
However, the Governor could no longer care about so many things. The fireball in the distance was half burned, but the entire city was still illuminated.
Damn it, why did it explode at this time? The Dragon Kingdom fleet hasn't left yet. Without these weapons and equipment, it will take at least two to three months to transport them from the country.
The Governor has not yet suspected Li Shaoyi's people. After all, the talks this afternoon went well. Li Shaoyi has already moved back to the ship. After completing some procedures tomorrow, he will leave immediately.
He knew that Li Shaoyi's fleet went south simply to improve the living environment of the Chinese. We have agreed to all the demands you have put forward and have also made guarantees. He believed that Li Shaoyi's fleet had no need to cause trouble.
The reason for fighting is to achieve the goals in your heart, but now that the goals in your heart have been achieved, is there still a need to fight?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, hurry up! Those yellow monkeys are coming to attack us. They really have no good intentions..."
Just as the Governor was thinking about what to do, four captains, Harlink, rushed up from downstairs shouting.
This man is actually his distant nephew. He followed him in his early years and became the captain of the guards because of his invincible marksmanship.
Although he had not been promoted in these years, the Governor did not treat him badly. He placed both of his sons in the army, and both of them obtained the status of officers at a young age. Halink was also very satisfied and was very diligent in guarding the safety of Governor Mandlake.
At this moment, he received the news of the attack by the Dragon Kingdom Marines. He ordered his men to watch at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. He had to lead the Governor away as soon as possible.
Apart from personal reasons, Governor Mandrake represents the authority of the Windmill Kingdom in Southeast Asia. Once he falls into the hands of the Dragon Kingdom, the reputation of the Windmill Kingdom in the world will be ruined.
"What did you say? Those Chinese people?"
Governor Mandrake still found it a little hard to believe. After all, just a few hours ago, he was drinking and chatting happily with Li Shaoyi. How could he put down his glass and kill someone?
