Chapter 533 Navy 5th Fleet
Li Shaoyi's move made Gu Xiaomeng dumbfounded. Although she thought she knew Li Shaoyi well, she didn't expect that Li Shaoyi was so ambitious now and just mentioned an 8,000-member security team.
In fact, Jinling also knew that if they put Li Shaoyi in the island city, no matter what kind of agreement was signed or what kind of guarantees Li Shaoyi made, everything would be unpredictable. This guy was just like that. If you wanted to control him, you had to be tougher than him and stronger than him. These two things were very difficult.
"The Japanese ambassador to Shima City has been waiting for you for two days. You won't keep him waiting any longer, will you?"
When Miss Gu came in just now, the Japanese Embassy's car was parked downstairs, and it seemed that it had not been moved in the past two days.
"There are still more than ten days left. Why are you in such a hurry? The deadline Jinling gave me is still early. I just need to resolve it within the deadline. Now I have to let the people vent their anger first. Otherwise, who will sign my Book of All Nations?"
Li Shaoyi said cheerfully, "These days, as long as it's related to public opinion, coupled with newspaper and media coverage, I'm almost on the side of justice. Even if the Nanjing Nationalist Government is dissatisfied, what can they do? Will they remove me midway?"
Judging from the current situation in the island city, no matter who is chosen to take over, those people will definitely retreat as much as possible. What a joke! Li Shaoyi killed people in the island city and asked us to take responsibility for him. Moreover, the people he killed were Japanese. Do you think we are fools?
"By the way, what are you doing with all these naval officers and men? I heard they all went to the beach this morning. You're not really planning to start a navy, are you?"
Gu Xiaomeng suddenly thought of another thing. She had a friend in the navy who also flew here from Pujiang this time. It was said that Li Shaoyi had real warships.
"If you have nothing else to do, come with me to the dock. It's a good opportunity to show these Japanese that we have a navy too. If they dare to enter our territorial waters in the future, especially the coastal areas of the island city, I will make them pay for it."
Only then did Gu Xiaomeng see that Li Shaoyi was about to go out. She was almost done with the work in her hands, so she decided to follow Li Shaoyi to see what surprising thing this guy had done.
At this moment, more than 300 naval officers and soldiers have lined up at the dock of Daocheng Port. Some of them came from various positions and have left the navy for one or two years, but they heard that Daocheng has brand new warships and within a year the fleet will reach the size of the original Northeast Navy.
These people dropped their work and prepared to come over to see what was going on. They didn't believe that all this was true. When Marshal Zhang established the navy, it took him more than ten years to have a sizable navy. You want to build it in just one year. Is that possible?
"Here it comes, is that a warship?"
Just as everyone was standing on the beach, the sea fog in the distance slowly dissipated, and it seemed that a warship appeared.
"This is not one warship, this is two."
Someone saw a shadow next to this warship.
"Everyone, stand at attention."
Hearing the voice of the officer on duty, everyone knew that Commander Li was coming. Many people had never seen Li Shaoyi before, but after arriving in the island city and seeing what Li Shaoyi had done in the island city, they really admired him in their hearts, especially since many people's hometowns were in the Northeast. In Li Shaoyi, they saw hope of returning home.
Although many people within the Nanjing National Government had talked about taking them back to the Northeast, most of the time they were just trying to bring them together and not doing much practical work.
But it was different for Li Shaoyi. He had fought several battles with the Japanese in the north, and had caused the Japanese to suffer a lot of losses. Now in the island city, he was really killing people, and the Japanese were really being slaughtered so hard that their blood flowed like a river. He had seen it with his own eyes.
Li Shaoyi got out of the car and saluted the naval officers and soldiers present. There are not many naval personnel in the country. Some of them are still wearing the uniforms of the Northeast Navy. Presumably, after going south, they did not serve in the navy, but were transferred to other departments.
"Good job."
Du Yunshan felt embarrassed when he heard what Li Shaoyi said. He smiled and used all the connections he could to get these people over.
"Brothers, I'm not good at talking, but I'm best at getting down to business. Three destroyers will dock today. This is a type of destroyer that has never been seen before in the world. I guarantee that among all destroyers, this one will have the strongest combat capability. Whether it's speed or other indicators, destroyers from other countries can't match it. In ten minutes at most, you can be on board the warships. No need to say any words of loyalty to me. I'll give you two days. I want to see their combat effectiveness. There are ten instructors on board who are familiar with warships. You can ask them if you have any questions."
Li Shaoyi's opening remarks were also very time-sensitive. They had not been in the island city for long, but they had already seen that the people of the 72nd Division were best at doing practical things and never talked nonsense.
"Please rest assured, Commander Li. If we are unable to operate this warship skillfully within forty-eight hours, we will pack up and return south, paying for our own travel expenses."
A young officer said excitedly that they originally thought there were two warships, but unexpectedly there were three warships. From the overall layout of the ship, they couldn't tell which type of destroyer it was. They didn't expect it to be a brand new one. They just didn't know where Commander Li got it from.
Of course, after being in the officialdom for so long, they also understand that they should ask what they should ask and not ask what they shouldn't ask. There are some things that there is no answer even if you ask, so it is better to just keep silent to avoid annoying your superiors.
"Achieve combat effectiveness within 48 hours. I want to see them firing cannons and torpedoes, as well as making wide turns in the ocean. After passing the assessment, everyone will be rewarded with a month's salary."
Li Shaoyi still uses the same old approach, requiring both spiritual and material support, to satisfy people's spirits and fill their pockets. Only in this way can he win people's hearts.
"Long live Commander Li!"
Someone immediately shouted this slogan. When Li Shaoyi heard it for the first time, he was frightened, but now he is used to it.
Reporters in the distance were already approaching with their cameras, eager to see how the Fifth Fleet managed to commission three warships simultaneously...
