Chapter 745 Gauls’ Misunderstanding
Li Shaoyi did not attend the welcome dinner that night. The reason he gave was that he was not feeling well. This was normal. He had never been on a boat before and had been on the boat for so long that he wanted to take a break. Therefore, the welcome dinner was changed to a welcome banquet at noon the next day.
"How's it going?"
After a good sleep, Li Shaoyi seemed to be in good spirits. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. He had discussed with his men when he came here. We have to test the strength of these Windmill people. If they are really weak, then there is nothing to say. We have to take Batavia first.
As for the reasons, there are too many. The local Chinese and overseas Chinese are of the same clan and ancestry as us, and many of them even retain their nationality. These people have been bullied locally. We are the warship of the National Government. Can't we vent our anger for our own people?
"Marshal, the intelligence we've gathered is similar to our previous investigation. The local army's discipline is lax and they're incapable of resisting us. Although they've deployed personnel to their artillery positions, there's a chance we can capture them if we launch a surprise attack, but there's no guarantee."
As the head of the Marine Corps, Qian Ruiguo was naturally the one who formulated all the combat plans. During this day, various intelligence personnel were sent out. Some of them went out in broad daylight wearing military uniforms, and some went out by climbing over the wall. Anyway, this was not too difficult for us.
The people of Windmill Country have already made the highest level of alert against the visiting naval fleet, but unfortunately these people are not capable enough. Even the highest level of alert is like child's play for the Marines. You must never mention the highest level of alert so often in the future. It's embarrassing!
"The fleet currently overseas can target their artillery batteries at any time. If we can't capture a battery, we can also use artillery to attack. The only problem is the air force. All our previous combat plans were carried out with the cooperation of the air force, but we don't have aircraft support now."
Seeing Li Shaoyi looking over, Ding Hanhai hurriedly reported on the situation of the navy. These warships in the port should be useless as they have been shut down. From the time they were ignited to the time they formed combat effectiveness, it was estimated that the artillery on the surrounding artillery batteries should have fired at them.
Of course you have to do this. If you don't send in your warships and only send in the troop transport ships, do you think the people of the Windmill Country are fools?
Only by driving our main fleet into the port and pointing their artillery at us can these people think they have control of the situation, and when we make some small moves, they will not object so strongly.
"We will still fight without an air force. What's more, the Windmill Nation's air force is not very good. The aircraft they use are even more outdated than those of the Rakshasa people. They can't even get enough pilots."
As the head of the intelligence department, Gu Xiaomeng had already infiltrated the situation here. However, the intelligence they provided still needed to be improved compared to the real combat intelligence. This was also the reason why the main body of intelligence gathering this time was soldiers and their intelligence department people were outside to assist.
After saying this, everyone looked at their commander-in-chief. All the necessary preparations had been completed, and now it was time to make the final decision. Our 72nd Army has been recovering lost territories since its establishment. Of course, we have also expanded our territory, such as the Xiongnu steppes in the north, but that was done by the army. This is the first time that the navy has expanded our territory overseas, especially far away from our homeland.
"Don't worry. I know you're all making very fast progress, but some things require the overall coordination. Let's wait for a call from Commander Li of the Guangxi Clique."
This morning, I received a telegram from home saying that the Governor of the Gallic Empire in Indochina had arrived in Guangxi Province this afternoon.
Because the air force exercises crossed the border, the people of the Gallic Empire were furious and even ordered the air defense forces to fire at the planes in the sky. Unfortunately, the anti-aircraft machine guns had too low a range and did not cause any damage to our planes.
In theory, it should be our business to look for them, but in this southwest area, the people of the Gallic Empire have been dominating for too long. Even when they were defeated by the Qing Dynasty, they were still able to obtain ownership of the three countries in Indochina. So in the eyes of these people, the Chinese really have no backbone.
That's why the governor of the Gallic Empire went to Commander Li to demand an explanation. Li Shaoyi also wanted to see how the talks went. After all, the Gallic Empire could also make a contribution to the entire Southeast Asian situation. If they could be dealt with completely, then it wouldn't matter if we took action.
Mr. Plant of the United States has expressed in various ways that they support Li Shaoyi's actions, but will never provide military support. The meaning is very clear. We can say a few words to you politically, but if you mess up militarily, don't expect the Americans to stand up and clean up the mess for you. But at the same time, the Americans also hope to share in the benefits you gain in Southeast Asia.
If Li Shaoyi had not needed help at this time, he would have rejected these guys long ago, but now he is in the minority in Southeast Asia, so he has to unite all the forces he can to change the sky of Southeast Asia.
When Li Shaoyi said this, the plane of the special envoy of the Governor of the Gallic Empire had already landed in southwest my country.
They had previously expressed strong protest against the 72nd Army's planes flying south, but they also understood that the 72nd Army was different from other Chinese armies. If you expect them to be intimidated, then you might as well put this idea aside for now.
The hundreds of thousands of troops on the northern grasslands did not scare the 72nd Army. Instead, they rushed all the way, not only taking back the Xiongnu grasslands, but also fighting on the Rakshasa homeland, causing huge losses to the Rakshasa army.
Therefore, matters concerning the 72nd Army must be handled with caution. Now, for the Gallic Empire, they have planes in the north and their fleet in the south. According to some people within their ranks, Li Shaoyi may have set his sights on the three countries in Indochina.
If that's the case, then we've become their food. This is why the Governor of the Gallic Empire is so anxious to send a special envoy...
