Chapter 524: The Japs Are Afraid of Death
Just when these Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff were about to go back, a broadcast sounded in the urban area of Jinling. Of course, Li Shaoyi was not using the fixed broadcast in the urban area of Jinling, but a mobile broadcast.
Anyway, Li Shaoyi has the equipment. If we tie these things to the car, we can broadcast the entire process from the mobile.
"Raise your gun."
An officer's steady voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Forgive us, we were wrong."
"We shouldn't have come to Dragon Nation's land."
"Please, we don't want to die."
Then came the rather messy Japanese and the rather stiff Chinese. You could tell at once that it was the voice of a Japanese soldier.
The Japanese have been promoting their Bushido spirit. Li Shaoyi is using the radio to frustrate your Bushido spirit today. Don't you say you are not afraid of death? We have plenty of ways to make your soldiers say these words.
There weren't many Japanese prisoners on the battlefield. This was the impression held by many domestic troops, who said Japanese soldiers would rather die fighting you than surrender. However, facing Li Shaoyi's army, these people had no choice but to surrender. The war was simply too fast. Before you could even grasp what was happening, Li Shaoyi's army had already surrounded you.
Moreover, in the prisoner-of-war camps in the north, you had to be afraid. The people from the 72nd Division found a group of ferocious supervisors from somewhere. These people never stopped using sticks and whips. They could beat you at four in the morning and you could not rest until after ten in the evening.
If someone works slowly, they will be hit with a stick. Many people are covered with bruises, and new wounds will appear after the old wounds heal. In short, your body will not be smooth.
Moreover, on the northern grasslands, the environment is extremely harsh. Those who fail to complete their tasks are all used as roadbeds. I don’t know how many people have died in the past few days. Now, because of the incident with the naval cadets in the island city, twenty people are shot every day. Many people are afraid that they will be chosen, and it is normal for their will to collapse.
Even if you are the most fearless person, when the muzzle of a gun is pointed at your head, you may be able to control yourself for the first few minutes, but you may not be able to control yourself for the next few minutes, and words of begging for mercy will come out of your mouth.
In that era, images could not be transmitted, but when people woke up the next morning, major newspapers in Jinling published a photo. This photo was of the Japanese soldiers begging for mercy last night.
All the Japanese in Nanjing felt like they had fallen into an icy cave. The Bushido spirit that had been promoted for a long time was completely disrupted by these surrendered soldiers. Some people even wondered if they would behave the same as them if they were in that situation.
Li Shaoyi pushed open the window of the office. The broadcast outside was still going on. The major police agencies in Jinling City had already been waiting at the door. They did not dare to arrest the officers and soldiers of the 72nd Division, but it was still okay for them to come here to discuss things.
However, the General Police Department once owed Li Shaoyi a favor, so it was naturally impossible for them to come and cause trouble now. So they just came to discuss. Since they wanted to discuss, there would be success or failure.
Li Sibei had been discussing with the people at the Police Headquarters for a long time. Anyway, they would be back in a few hours. When the people at the Police Headquarters were sweating profusely, Li Sibei finally agreed that all the broadcasting vehicles would come back and promised not to go out again.
"After this commotion, I think many people are even more wary of you. We still can't get this job, and your island city strategy still can't be implemented."
Li Sibei opened the glass bottle of Coke very casually with a folder. Her mouth was dry from talking to those people from the Police Headquarters just now.
"Don't worry, we've already made this a big deal. Previously, we put pressure on the Japanese. Now, we're demonstrating our ability to get things done. Next, we'll put pressure on the Nationalist government. How far along is the fourth round of arms transfers?"
Li Shaoyi has taken over the National Government's weapons procurement plan for a long time. The weapons sold by Junkers here are 75% less than before, and the rest are all obtained from Li Shaoyi.
No matter how big the situation with the National Government was, Li Shaoyi never thought of blocking the handover of weapons. After all, a full-scale war of resistance would soon begin. These weapons would arm the National Army and enable it to better fight against Japan.
But after considering for a period of time, the island city was too important to Li Shaoyi. The Japanese could imagine that Li Shaoyi would launch an air raid on Goryeo, and Li Shaoyi himself could also imagine it. Therefore, in this matter, he had to use all available means to make sure to get this job.
"The fourth batch of purchases includes 8,000 rifles, 150 Czech light machine guns, 1,500 box guns, 40 75mm infantry guns, 40 60mm mortars, and 20 80mm mortars. All are currently in Peking awaiting loading."
Li Sibei remembered these things very clearly. This batch of weapons was to be handed over to the General Tax Police Corps, which was also an armed force of the Ministry of Finance. According to the relationship between Li Shaoyi and Minister Jia, they would definitely not be willing to sell weapons to them. However, the General Tax Police Corps was very famous in history. In various battles against the Japanese, they were no worse than the regular army.
"Inform the person in charge of this matter and tell them that this batch of weapons will be shipped to the northern grasslands to expand our own army."
If this matter is resolved in a short period of time, it will not have any impact on the General Tax Police Corps. It depends on whether the top leaders of the National Government can feel the pressure.
"Lobby the scholars in Jinling and Pujiang, as well as some well-known figures in society, to make some statements in support of our move to the island city."
Every time Li Shaoyi gave an order, Li Sibei tore off a piece of note paper. She had originally been waiting at home, but now she was going to take the initiative.
"I'd like to ask the ambassadors of Western countries: if I want to buy a batch of warships, how long will it take to arrive? Second-hand ones are fine, as long as they are usable. Also, do you have any acquaintances in the navy? I mean those who want to fight against Japan."
When she remembered this, Li Sibei looked up. "Aren't you going to start your own navy?" This is different from the army and the air force. You can't start a navy without a century of experience.
What's more, this is the most expensive branch of the military. Our domestic air force and army are both large in scale, but the navy is not. After so many years of development, its ranking still cannot catch up with the Beiyang Fleet of that year.
"Boss, are you serious?"
Li Sibei's words were a little trembling.
