Chapter 686: The Powers of Southeast Asia
"These people are judging others with their own petty standards. Chairman Chen can meet with whomever he wants. We should not interfere in any way."
Li Shaoyi snorted coldly, obviously having no good feelings towards these people.
In fact, what Li Shaoyi said was not wrong. They regarded Li Shaoyi as an old bureaucrat of the National Government and thought about Li Shaoyi according to their own way of thinking.
Not to mention that his system can make money, even if it can't, now that he has a currency printing team, money is no different from waste paper to him.
Of course, when spending money, we have to consider the real economic situation and not act recklessly. If we print a lot of money and destroy the Japanese yen, it will not be of any benefit to Li Shaoyi at this stage. We will have to be like a vampire, lying on the body of the entire Japanese Empire and sucking twice a week.
After Chairman Chen left Li Shaoyi, Li Shaoyi didn't care what form of talks he wanted to have with the National Government. Li Shaoyi didn't care. We only care about our own meal replacements. If we care too much, it will easily arouse jealousy.
Li Shaoyi has more important things to do. Deng Jiugong has already taken off from the island city and wants to discuss the route to the south with Li Shaoyi. Although our fleet is not strong enough now, the Windmill Kingdom is even worse.
What we need to worry about most are several other countries in Southeast Asia, one is the Windsor Empire that occupies the Strait of Malacca, and the other is the Gallic Empire that occupies the Indochina Peninsula.
Another one is the Star-Spangled Republic that occupied the Luzon Islands.
These three countries are now the kings of Southeast Asia.
However, their military strength is not worth mentioning. When the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese were able to sweep them away. Of course, that was because the Japanese navy was powerful. We do not have that power now.
But in Southeast Asia, it is not a problem to find a piece of territory for yourself, especially starting from the weakest windmill country.
Li Shaoyi felt his blood boiling just thinking about a heavy cruiser fully loaded with 17,000 tons. If we had this thing, we would have one foot in the ranks of naval powers.
203mm naval gun...
It’s exciting just to think about it!
"The Marshal has arrived home."
Li Shaoyi was thinking in the car when the driver stopped the car. Li Shaoyi then saw that he had returned to the Yu family mansion from the office.
Li Shaoyi has plenty of houses in Pujiang, so it would be no problem for him to pick one to live in. However, his wife has lived in his home for a long time, and his father-in-law has no son, so it would be lonely for her to live alone. Li Shaoyi doesn't care what outsiders say about him marrying into the family, as long as he lives comfortably.
What's more, people who have no financial resources are hospitalized or even marry into the family. People like me can only be said to be careless.
"You came back pretty early today."
When Li Shaoyi walked into the living room, he found that his daughter-in-law was meeting a guest, and a girl in a white dress was sitting next to her.
"Let me introduce you. This is my aunt's cousin, Kang Congyu."
The last time Li Shaoyi met his relatives, he had never seen this relative. Now that his daughter-in-law introduced him solemnly, he smiled and nodded.
"Then you guys chat, I still have some things to do."
Li Shaoyi basically kept his distance from his wife's relatives. After all, they all wanted to gain benefits from him, so it was better to have less contact with them. Although this aunt was pretty, there was no guarantee that there would be some conspiracy behind her.
Miss Yu and Miss Kang also nodded to Li Shaoyi without saying much.
"Sir, do you think Miss Kang is okay?"
Li Shaoyi set up his own office here, but the task of serving tea and water was still done by Xiaotao, a maidservant beside Miss Yu.
"Good good..."
Li Shaoyi was looking at the map of Southeast Asia. If he wanted to do something, he had to hurry up. He understood the principle of speed being of the essence in war better than anyone else.
As for what the little maid said, Li Shaoyi just ignored it. In his opinion, it was just some trivial household matters and nothing important.
"It's rare that the son-in-law likes her. If Miss Kang were to marry into the family, her personality would be compatible with our Miss's, and she would be better than those vixen outside..."
"Uh-huh…what did you say?"
Li Shaoyi was drinking tea and looking at the coastlines of Southeast Asian countries, looking for a port suitable for stationing his troops, when he unexpectedly heard what Xiao Tao said.
Come in?
Which door are you going through?
"Sir, don't you know? The cousin from the Kang family is here to be your second wife..."
Xiaotao's words made Li Shaoyi spit out a mouthful of tea. Xiaotao and several combat staff officers nearby were frightened and rushed to rescue the map. This was not the 21st century, where you could buy two world maps for five dollars.
Especially this kind of military map, which requires a large number of combat staff to modify it based on the civilian map, so we have the map in front of us, which is marked in great detail.
"What did you say? Second room?"
Li Shaoyi knew that in this era, anyone with a little wealth would have several concubines, but it hadn't even been half a month since his wedding, and he was already looking for a second wife? And she was his wife's cousin. What kind of thing was this?
No wonder Miss Kang's face turned red when I saw her just now.
"Master has already agreed. Miss Kang is also from a scholarly family and has a very good relationship with our young lady. There will be no internal strife in the family in the future."
Xiao Tao said this innocently. Li Shaoyi felt overwhelmed at the moment. His daughter-in-law didn't say a word and brought the person home.
In fact, in today's era, getting a wife is a big deal for these people, but taking a concubine is not important. At most, it is just a meal together as a family. Sometimes even such etiquette is omitted, which shows how low the status of a concubine is.
"It's the Republic of China now, a new era. The Nationalist government advocates monogamy..."
Li Shaoyi said word by word that in the 21st century, a life with three wives and four concubines was something people dreamed of, but when it really came to this point, it was still a little hard to accept, especially since he had just had his wedding less than half a month ago.
"Sir, what are you talking about? Look at the high-ranking officials in Pujiang. Who doesn't hold a government position? Who doesn't have three concubines at home?"
Xiao Tao said with her neck tilted, those who have dealings with the Yu family are all rich and powerful, how could those men have only one wife?
"Our young lady said that instead of letting the son-in-law go out and look for one, it's better to find one for him at home. We can be more confident in the selection of the right person. It's much better than those seductresses outside. Those people want to fight when they enter the house..."
Xiao Tao continued to talk to herself...
