    In Wuhan City, while all the citizens and municipal officials were busy celebrating the victory, Li Guoyao was blocked at the door, which made him a little bit dumbfounded.

    The person blocking Li Guoyao and the others was none other than Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan.

    This Admiral Chen has been grieving since Li Guoyao formulated a battle plan some time ago and used their navy as bait.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that many warships, including the Zhongshan ship, were damaged in the last battle, Admiral Chen was busy sending the warships back to Yichang for repairs. Otherwise, he would have gone back to Wuhan to settle the score with Li Guoyao.

    No, as soon as the matter over there was settled, Chen Shaokuan came to kill him.

    Hearing that Chen Shaokuan was visiting, Li Guoyao immediately knew that trouble was coming. Li Guoyao knew the temper of General Chen. In one word - stinky!

    This great man didn¡¯t even give Chiang Kai-shek any face, and often embarrassed him. Therefore, he was quite disliked by our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but there was nothing he could do about him.

    In addition, the relationship between Admiral Chen and He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others was not very good. Especially, he and He Yingqin were on the same page. At this time, He Yingqin, his immediate superior in the Navy, was deliberately suppressing him, and there was Chiang Kai-shek under him.  With his confidant Ouyang Ge restraining him, Defense Minister Chen Cheng restraining him internally, and the Japanese troops watching him externally, the situation was difficult.

    He himself used this man and his beloved as bait, and directly caused serious damage to the Zhongshan Ship and other ships. With Admiral Chen's temper, he was definitely looking for trouble.

    However, Li Guoyao, as a member of the later-generation Navy Jiaolong Commando, was affiliated with the Chinese Navy, so he had a very deep feeling for the Chinese Navy, so he also wanted to have a good conversation with Admiral Chen on the development of the Chinese Navy.

    After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao decided to meet General Chen.

    In the small living room of the prevention and control headquarters, Li Guoyao saw Chen Shaokuan in military uniform.

    He is not very tall, he is very lean, and he is also very energetic, but his face is a bit unattractive, and there are even some bloodshot eyes. It is obvious that he has not rested well.

    The moment he saw Li Guoyao, Chen Shaokuan stared at Li Guoyao for a while, and then said: "I thought Chief Li would avoid seeing him, but I didn't expect that Chief Li is not very old, but he is very courageous."

    However, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "Commander Chen is a compatriot, a commander, and a comrade who fights alongside me, Li Guoyao. How can I avoid seeing the commander and comrade when he comes to visit?"

    "Haha, fellow comrades? Chief Li said it lightly. Does Chief Li treat his fellow comrades like this?" General Chen said coldly.

    "Oh, Commander Chen, what do you say?"

    "Chief Li is pretending to be confused. Doesn't Mr. Li know what is going on in our navy? After the Battle of Jiangyin, there were only a dozen warships and gunboats left in the navy. Under such circumstances, every warship is precious.  , but Commander Li asked my Navy colleagues to act as bait, shouldn¡¯t we give our Navy an explanation?¡±

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "Commander Chen, you and I are both soldiers. We should all know that a soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders! I, Li Guoyao, have been ordered to take over the air defense of the entire Wuhan. I am not only responsible to Chairman Chiang and the princes of Wuhan, but also to  I am responsible for the millions of people in Wuhan City, so in this case, as long as it is beneficial to fighting the Japanese and dealing with the Japs Air Force, I have to use it. This is true for the Air Force and the same is true for the Navy!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "In the final analysis, we are not individuals who exist alone, but a group that strives for the strength and independence of the country. Since we are a group, there is no need to call out who has to answer to whom. Everyone is working for their own  Ideal and mission are working hard!¡±

    Chen Shaokuan looked at Li Guoyao and said calmly: "Chief Li is very eloquent. With such national justice and ideal mission destroyed, Mr. Chen will not be able to open his mouth no matter how much he wants to say. Farewell!"

    Seeing that Chen Shaokuan was about to turn around and leave, Li Guoyao hurriedly said: "Commander Chen, please stay!"

    "What else is there?"

    ¡°Commander Chen¡¯s purpose of coming is serious and clear. No matter what goes wrong, please sit down and talk calmly. I think Commander Chen doesn¡¯t mind staying a few more minutes now that he¡¯s here, right?¡±

    Chen Shaokuan thought for a while and said, "That's fine. I heard that you won another big victory today. Congratulations!"

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "There is nothing to congratulate. On our Chinese soil, in the airspace of our wartime capital, we defeated an enemy attack. Is this worth bragging about?"

    "It's worth it!" Chen Shaokuan said firmly.

    Seeing Li Guoyao stunned, Chen Shaokuan continued: "Sir, although you?There is indeed something extraordinary about fighting. It took less than a month after taking over Wuhan's air defense affairs, but it reversed the state of being passively beaten. However, some things are not as simple as you think.  "

    "We are indeed in a state of being beaten. No matter how good the beating is, we can't hide the shame of being beaten. But we must also see the current bad situation. If we don't resist, the country will be destroyed and the genocide is imminent.  At such a critical moment of life and death, many people are actually in despair, because our enemy is so powerful, so powerful that many senior government officials and senior military commanders have lost confidence, and even important party and government officials have lost confidence.  Those who shouted at high-level meetings that resistance to war will lead to death.¡±

    "Under such circumstances, any victory is precious, because every victory can reunite the hearts of people who are about to collapse, and can also inspire the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of all the people. Therefore, you should show off your victory when you win.  , and even have to show off in an exaggerated way.¡±

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Having said that, when I see the little devil's fighter planes flying around in our airspace unscrupulously, they also drop evil aerial bombs into our capital and bomb us.  Common people, I no longer feel like this!"

    Chen Shaokuan immediately said: "I understand what you are thinking. As a soldier, who has not wanted to seal the wolf as his subordinate? Who does not want to point at the enemy's forehead and say: "Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is." But the reality is that  It¡¯s because of our desperate efforts that we barely managed to block the enemy¡¯s attack, but we can¡¯t even talk about making any achievements or becoming famous outside the region.¡±

    "But just because our country is in the danger of national subjugation and genocide, we should stand up and prove ourselves again and again with powerful achievements, proving that our country and nation are not easy to be humiliated. Only in this way can we win the independence of the country.  and the liberation of the nation!¡±

    When he said this, Chen Shaokuan thought of this time a year ago. In July last year, the news of the outbreak of all-out war between China and Japan spread to the world.  At that time, Chen Shaokuan was not in the country, but as the deputy head of the Chinese Mission and Minister of the Chinese Navy, he was attending the coronation ceremony of the King of England in London, England.

    After hearing the news, Chen Shaokuan suspended his inspection of the British Navy and urgently called Chiang Kai-shek, requesting to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War.

    Requesting for a quick reply to the telegram, Chen Shaokuan packed his bags and boarded the special plane flying back to China.

    Before leaving, several former British naval colleagues came to see him off.

    Twenty years ago, as a naval representative of the Beiyang government, Chen Shaokuan participated in the First World War with the British Navy and formed personal friendships with some people in the British naval community during the war.

    Today, war breaks out in the East. Britain, known as the world's largest naval power, cannot participate, but they are deeply disgusted with Japan's crazy expansion of its navy and are full of sympathy for China's resistance.

    "Chen, the Chinese army cannot live without its navy. With your experience and wisdom, the Chinese navy will make a difference. I hope we can reunite in the future victory."

    "The Chinese navy is weak and cannot fight head-on with the Japanese. Maybe you can fight inland rivers"

    ¡°We are willing to fully assist the development of the Chinese Navy in the future, and welcome you to send naval officers like you who are willing to endure hardships and have a sense of mission to the UK for training.¡±

    The warm words and beautiful blessings moved him, but they couldn't make him excited.

    He knows his own navy, and he also knows the Japanese navy, which is many times more powerful than the Chinese navy. The gap between the two sides is so great that Chen Shaokuan himself does not have the confidence to face the Japanese navy head-on.

    But even so, he still resolutely requested to return to the country to join the war. As a soldier, he would die on the way to charge!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
