Chapter 513: Going to Heaven
Dong Yueyan was definitely tempted by Li Shaoyi's proposal.
"Are you really going to hand over the airline to her?"
After getting in the car, Li Sibei got to the bottom of the matter.
"Shouldn't you be more concerned about our island city strategy? If the island city falls into our hands, our strength will be further enhanced."
Li Shaoyi didn't say much about the issue just now, knowing that the two people didn't get along. If Li Shaoyi handed over the airline to Dong Yueyan, the first person to object would be Li Sibei.
"Ludong Province is not your territory. Even if the island city is yours, at most you can just take the position of police chief, just like Old Wu. I don't think it will be easy for you to take the position of mayor."
Li Sibei is quite familiar with the situation in Jinling. Even if you can help the navy solve this problem, the island city cannot be handed over to you completely. The current city rankings are different from those in the 21st century. Now it depends on the sky.
The top is naturally Pujiang River.
Qing is naturally the island city.
Tianziran is Tianjin.
These are three very important cities at present, and it is unlikely that Li Shaoyi can get one of them.
"Everything depends on negotiation. As long as the price is similar, there's no problem. The island city is undoubtedly very important, but it's also been plagued by a lot of trouble over the years, either by the Junkers or the Japanese. Do you think the top management is capable of managing this city? If you're constantly worried about it and still can't get the corresponding profit, why not hand it over to me?"
Li Shaoyi said this very confidently. Li Sibei nodded secretly when she heard what Li Shaoyi said.
What Li Shaoyi said was true. During the period when the Junkers occupied the island city, we had nothing to do with this place. After World War I, the Japanese occupied this place again. In order to take back the island city, they had to work very hard.
After taking it back, because it was located in the north, the Nanjing National Government could not intervene in many places, and the local forces were extremely powerful, so they would not invest too much, and it was like a chicken rib.
If Li Shaoyi could really reach an agreement with the higher-ups and make them see tangible benefits, perhaps these benefits would still belong to Li Shaoyi.
"Besides, Pujiang is a mixed bag. Taking over a police station would be a win for us. But it's different here in the island city. I will first apply to establish a Northern Fleet. After establishing a Northern Fleet, we must establish a Marine Corps. After establishing a Marine Corps, we must have a naval aviation force. After establishing a naval aviation force, we must have an airport. After establishing an airport, we must have an airport garrison..."
When Li Shaoyi was speaking, Li Sibei felt that her brain could not keep up. There were many terms that she heard for the first time. What is naval aviation?
"Even with all these institutions established, can a single police station still handle the job? I estimate that the entire island city would have tens of thousands of people under my command."
Before Li Sibei understood what was happening in the naval aviation force, Li Shaoyi had already reached this point.
"I thought I understood your strategy very well, but now it seems there's still a huge gap between us. What the hell is going on in your head? Sometimes I really want to cut it open and see."
When Li Sibei said this, her eyes were fixed on Li Shaoyi's head, and Li Shaoyi was so scared that he leaned to the side. If this woman's curiosity really got stronger, she might really dare to use a knife.
The navy's island city incident escalated, and the people of the island city also began to march in front of the Japanese consulate. Unexpectedly, a violent conflict broke out between the two sides, and the Japanese guards actually opened fire on the crowd, killing three marchers and injuring six.
After the incident broke out, people from all over the country rose up to hold the local government accountable, asking how they handled the situation and why they didn't catch the murderer when such a thing happened.
We were holding a patriotic parade on our own land, but were injured by guards from another country, and our government just kept silent about it. How can this be acceptable?
Soon, voices of demonstration were heard from all over the place. Li Shaoyi lived in the office of the 72nd Division, and a group of people also came outside. Of course, these people were not there to protest, but hoped that Li Shaoyi could take charge of the matter. In these people's minds, it was useless for others to handle foreign relations, and Li Shaoyi had to go.
Another group of people went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, hoping that they could hand the matter over to Li Shaoyi. The outside of the Navy Ministry building was also full of people. Many people could no longer tolerate the weakness of the Navy Ministry and the island city government.
"Isn't this the person you're looking for?"
Seeing the huge crowds of people outside, Li Shaoyi did not dare to express his opinion easily. Public opinion is certainly important, but if the senior officials of the National Government saw him inciting public opinion and confronting them, it would be a big taboo in officialdom.
"I'm not that stupid. It means the people trust you. When something like this happens, you're the first person they think of. The reputation of our 72nd Division has been established."
Li Sibei shook his head. He would not make such a low-level mistake. The demonstrators were irrational. If we took advantage of them and the higher-ups knew about it, many people would stand against us in the future.
"That's a good thing, but I'm afraid of being taken advantage of by some people."
Li Shaoyi was frowning at this moment. There were many factions within the National Government and he had many enemies. He had obviously not asked anyone to secretly push this matter, but if some people put the blame on him, the old man's impression of him would be greatly reduced.
As long as the old man has a bad impression of you, forget it if you still want to take over the island city in the future.
"Go find Dong Yueyan and ask her to tell Madam that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me."
Although doing so was a bit of a cover-up, Li Shaoyi finally decided that he had to do it, at least to let his superiors know that he was concerned about such things and not to leave the impression of being lawless. If that happened, he probably wouldn't get any good things in the future.
Li Sibei also knew the importance of this matter. After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, he went to meet with Dong Yueyan. Then Li Shaoyi met with these people outside on the steps of the office, talked about the importance of this matter, and said that the National Government would definitely have a proper solution. He himself would also pay close attention to this matter and would never let our people suffer at the critical moment.
Li Shaoyi was becoming more and more proficient in this official language, but looking at the kind faces, he felt a little sad...
