Chapter 743 How to deal with it
Only a few hours had passed, and the Governor hadn't finished his nap yet. I had thought of sending someone over to see what Li Shaoyi was up to that night. After all, he was visiting our territory, so we couldn't just ignore him.
Who knew that before we could take any action, the armed conflict would start again, and it would be much faster than the last time.
"Did Li Shaoyi return to their warship at any location?"
After receiving the report from his subordinates, the Governor jumped out of bed. The beautiful maid next to him felt a little resentful. After all, she was just delivering the goods, and who knew it would end like this.
"He didn't return to the warship and is still in the villa we arranged. He should have heard the news by now."
After hearing the adjutant's words, the Governor breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Shaoyi returned to the warship quickly, this matter would be difficult to handle. They must have made a plan long ago to occupy our port by force. Now it seems that it should be an armed conflict.
"Inform your men not to act rashly. I will handle this matter personally."
The Governor has a complete investigation record on the combat effectiveness of Li Shaoyi's army. It was obtained from the Junkers and cost a lot of money. You must know that the 72nd Army had in-depth cooperation with the Junkers, so what the Junkers said about the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Army was the most authoritative.
According to the report, the combat effectiveness of the 72nd Army's most elite troops has reached about 90% of the Junker Army. The Marine Corps is the elite of the entire army, and its combat effectiveness can even exceed 92%.
After reading the report, the Governor was already disheartened. These people were able to sweep across the entire Batavia. Although Batavia had a large army, these people were like old men. There had been no wars in the early years, so they lived a life of luxury. When it came to enjoying life, they were better than anyone else, but when it came to fighting, they ran away faster than anyone else, especially when they met a tough opponent.
These people usually have many ideas for bullying Chinese and overseas Chinese and local natives, and they are very good at doing it, but if they were to go head-to-head with Li Shaoyi's Marines, they probably wouldn't have the ability to do so.
After hearing the Governor's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the Governor was timid and would not dare to deal with the matter, and instead let them rush forward anyway. That would be really bad luck.
Li Shaoyi also called and hoped to speak to the Governor in person. Li Shaoyi also explained the reason for the conflict. It was nothing more than having to drive home. There was a lack of communication between us. If there could be communication at the top level, perhaps this armed conflict would not have occurred.
At the same time, Li Shaoyi also apologized. After all, we are in a foreign country, and it is normal for the soldiers under our command to be a little sensitive. Our entire country has only one such fleet. If it is damaged, we will not be able to explain to our fellow countrymen in our hometown.
At the same time, Li Shaoyi had already stated that he had dealt with some of his soldiers, putting them all in solitary confinement on the warship.
After hearing Li Shaoyi's series of measures, Governor Mandlake, who was originally furious, now had some words stuck in his throat and couldn't say anything.
Your request was beautifully fulfilled before you even asked. What else do you want? If we continue to push our limits, it will be difficult to explain diplomatically. After all, these things are recorded. If we go too far, we will appear too stingy.
Governor Mandrake immediately changed his attitude and said that their work was not done well enough. As long as the cars passed the inspection, they could drive out of the port. After all, there were many cars on their streets.
The conflict ended in this way, and peace returned to the port. However, the soldiers responsible for the port's defense did not dare to act recklessly. They had never seen or even heard of the reaction speed just now.
It took no more than ten minutes from the quarrel to the takeover of the entire port, and their people had not put on their weapons within ten minutes. Fortunately, no shooting was done just now. If they had, our entire infantry regiment might have been the victim.
Of course, after this incident, some changes occurred near the port. The people who had just disembarked from the warship were not going back, and their reasons were very good. "You've removed the gangway, so we can go down the rope. Are you going to let us climb up the rope? That's what monkeys should do."
The Windmill Nation's army also considered, should we send the ladder over? If we send it over, if these people don't return, but more people get off the ship, wouldn't that be self-defeating?
After careful consideration, the port guards did not send the post over. They said that there were hundreds of people coming down, and this was still manageable. If you want to set up tents around, you can do so.
According to them, there are not many trees around here, and it is far less comfortable than on your warship under the scorching sun. If you want to stay around here, then stay. The sun will teach you how to behave.
As it turned out, this was also their most comfortable place. After the tents were set up, a 100mm mortar was also set up in the area covered by each tent. All our actions were in the service of the war. This time it seemed very powerful, but in fact we were not prepared. This is why we did not have any conflict with the Windmill Country personnel.
Once the artillery is set up, if there is a similar conflict next time, some things may become difficult to predict.
At this moment, Guo Dongchuan also picked up his family at the door, and the family took a jeep to go home. The family also bought vegetables, meat, and a lot of local fruit specialties, which were specially transported to the army. Although the family was not very rich, Guo Dongchuan sent back a lot of money, and the family still had some savings. Seeing our team coming, they had to show it no matter what.
According to military regulations, we can't take even a needle or thread from the people, but Guo Dongchuan is our commander, and his parents and brothers and sisters have come such a long way to send us food. If we don't accept it, it will inevitably hurt his feelings. After counting the food, the logistics officer gave him a batch of our canned food...
