Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

Chapter 358 I'm Not Fighting Alone

Facing these European and American reporters, Li Shaoyi certainly knew what he should do, which was to make them understand his original intention, which was not to respond to the protests from the Russian side, but to take back the outer Xiongnu.

"We have had rights to this land since ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, we defeated the Great Khan here. Later, during the Tang Dynasty, we also established a ruling organization. Of course, this was all in the past. Later, during the Qing Dynasty, the princes here were just like officials of our court. Therefore, the Outer Xiongnu, like Peking, is our territory. How can we give it up?"

About twenty minutes after the Japanese reporters left, Li Shaoyi had already started chatting with his journalist friends. When he heard these words at the very beginning, many people could hardly believe their ears. In their opinion, Li Shaoyi should have only responded to the provocation from the Russian side, but now he seemed to want to take it back.

"Mr. Li, we all agree with your remarks. Western civilized countries have always supported the correct measures of all countries. But what does the Nanjing National Government think of your remarks?"

A reporter from the United States said with a frown.

"Dear journalists, please take a closer look at the military uniform I'm wearing and the military emblem on my hat. They absolutely represent the Nanjing National Government. In all of the Nanjing National Government's external documents, there has never been any recognition of the independence of the Outer Xiongnu. Therefore, the Nanjing National Government supports any statement I make. If anyone disagrees, they're not from our Dragon Country."

After Li Shaoyi said this, the reporters present all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. They didn't know how outstanding Li Shaoyi's military command ability was, but they knew that Li Shaoyi was very good at putting accusations on others.

Take the previous sentence for example. Originally, there might be many people in the Nanjing National Government who did not support Li Shaoyi, but now that this sentence has been published in the newspaper, they dare not express their opinions carelessly. Once they are labeled as a traitor and a traitor to the country, their life is over.

Officials are very concerned about their reputation. Even if they are supported by foreigners, they will try their best to hide themselves. Who would be stupid enough to stand up and cheer for foreigners?

"Mr. Li, have you ever considered that if the Rakshasa people really get angry, they might mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. Although your 72nd Division is very powerful, in our opinion, it is still no match for the Rakshasa army. Have you ever considered annihilating your entire army?"

A European journalist frankly said that it was not that they looked down on the 72nd Division, but it was a judgment made by many people of that era.

The war is not fought over a small area on the battlefield, but over the comparison of the comprehensive national strength of the entire country. Although Li Shaoyi has defeated the Japanese army now, they think this is a temporary victory. If the Japanese want to make a comeback, I am afraid Li Shaoyi will not be able to keep the existing occupied land.

"I don't know what it's like in your country, but in ours, to maintain the integrity of our territory and restore the glory of our ancestors, we will all risk our lives. Perhaps judging by the current statistics, we can't defeat these Russians, but even if I die on the battlefield, I will still have 400 to 500 million compatriots behind me. They are my strongest support. If one generation can't defeat us, we will fight two generations. If two generations can't defeat us, we will fight three generations. One day, we will take our land back."

Before Li Shaoyi finished speaking, the Chinese reporters present began to applaud. They all agreed with Li Shaoyi's words. These words had been in their hearts for a long time, but no one had said them openly. Now that Li Shaoyi said these words, it represented that everyone was proud.

"Besides, I'm not alone in my fight against the Rakshasas. Aren't the leading officials of various countries also condemning all of their actions? If I fight the Rakshasas, I believe that all representatives of democracy around the world will stand behind me and support me in my fight against them."

Li Shaoyi saw that some people were surprised, and immediately began to change his topic. After Li Shaoyi said this, many reporters from Western powers showed a glint in their eyes. There was an unsolvable contradiction between them and Luosha. Although this contradiction could not affect the relations between countries for the time being, if Li Shaoyi really fought with Luosha, they would definitely support him secretly.

Li Shaoyi thought of the Soviet-Finnish War.

On the surface, it was a war between Russia and Finland, but how many countries were actually behind Finland? It was hard to say, and I didn't know what the Europeans were thinking. In short, they had always had some dislike for Russia, or even looked down on it completely.

Anyway, if I really fight with Luosha, there will definitely be countries that extend an olive branch. It will depend on how I operate then.

"Mr. Li, you are truly a national hero."

Other European and American reporters also began to applaud. Regarding Li Shaoyi's remarks, some European and American reporters were ready to label Li Shaoyi as a national liberation fighter.

Of course, the Russians must be portrayed in a negative light. If you hadn't invaded their land, how could they possibly fight you? Now they have troops stationed on their own land, which is their freedom and right. Even if there are disputes, it is between them and the Japanese.

It is really unreasonable for you Russians to jump out for no reason, so these people quickly wrote the manuscript. Li Shaoyi didn't need to stay here to take care of the rest of the things. The two girls, Wang Manli and Wang Zihan, moved very gracefully among reporters from various countries and got their manuscripts.

Under the influence of money, these journalists will write more sharply. For example, in order to gain independence for the Outer Xiongnu, the Russians committed a series of bloody incidents in the Outer Xiongnu and killed all the local people who were preparing to resist.

Li Shaoyi believed that after these things were published in the newspaper, they would definitely anger the Russians, but they would also enable him to gain some support from the West. As for the full support from the West, that would have to wait until the war began.

"Order our army to capture Chahar as quickly as possible to give the Russians a chance to attack us."

After returning to the office, Li Shaoyi said happily that in the past, when conflicts occurred with foreigners, everyone was afraid, but at this moment Li Shaoyi was excited.
