Li Jun smiled slightly and nodded slowly.
Soon, it was 6 p.m. At this time, Li Jun, Wang Jianjun, Li Wang and others had already left the mountain area with their men, leaving only 50 'elite veterans' in the mountain area to be in charge of manually detonating the bombs at 50 blasting points.
'Boom!' 'Boom!' 'Boom!'
Not long after Li Jun, Wang Jianjun and the others left the mountain area, a series of terrifying explosions, like the roar of a giant dragon, echoed through the mountains.
Small, visible mushroom clouds rose into the sky.
However, in Li Jun's eyes, these mushroom clouds were all gold.
"Jianjun, arrange for the miners to go into the mountains tonight to build the basic camp, and then start work immediately. Remember, arrange the miners according to the plan I gave you."
Li Jun said to Wang Jianjun with a smile.
For the first two months, Li Jun planned to have Wang Jianjun personally oversee the operation with his "elite veterans." Once everything was in order, the first batch of supervisors trained by Gao Jin and Xu Xi at Jinshanjiao would be graduating soon and could take over from the "elite bosses."
"Understood, Brother Jun!"
After listening to Li Jun's words, Wang Jianjun immediately nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Li Jun smiled, patted Wang Jianjun on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
Next, Li Jun instructed Wang Jianguo to keep an eye on the "boundary line" between the Malay monkeys and the Chinese. If any Malay natives tried to cross this "boundary line," they should not hesitate to shoot them.
After settling the Malay natives in the northern mountains, Li Jun returned to Pix Nannold's estate to rest.
Although it was bombed and left in a mess, it is still the best building on Marbach Island.
After returning to the manor, Li Jun pondered alone for a long time before picking up the satellite phone and dialing a number.
"Ahua, it's me."
After the call connected, Li Jun spoke.
"Brother Jun, what can I do for you?"
Ahua's voice came through the satellite phone receiver.
“You can arrange to dismantle the Saigon shipyard and transport it to Southeast Asia.”
Li Jun spoke calmly.
The Saigon shipyard is quite large. It will take at least half a month to relocate the entire shipyard to Mabast Island, and then at least 7 days to assemble all the equipment here.
After all, Li Jun can only summon 150 engineers right now, so he can't speed things up. Therefore, he has to race against time and move the shipyard over as soon as possible.
In this way, as soon as the Sherman-class destroyers from the Armilia Island base arrive, Li Jun's engineers can immediately begin analysis and production.
If there are more than six Sherman-class destroyers, then it won't be Li Jun having to hide from the Luzon Navy, but rather the Luzon Navy having to hide from Li Jun.
"Okay, Jun-ge."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Ahua immediately agreed.
"Oh, and don't forget the shipyard workers either."
After hearing Ahua's reply, Li Jun gave him one more instruction and then hung up the phone.
then.
Li Jun tossed the satellite phone aside and lay down on the grass in the manor courtyard, looking up at the bright stars in the sky above, a smile appearing on his lips.
Starting today, he officially has his first base in Southeast Asia, a base that belongs only to him, Li Jun.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just as Li Jun was 'envisioning the future', a phone rang, interrupting his 'daydreaming'.
"Which one?"
Li Jun picked up the satellite phone beside him, pressed the answer button, and asked.
"Brother Jun, it's me."
Huang Xiaoqi's energetic voice came through the receiver.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"
Li Jun asked with a smile.
"Jun-ge, I miss you."
The girl's tone carried a hint of longing.
"If you miss me, you can come to Marbach Island to see me."
Li Jun said with a smile.
In the following days, everything on Mabast Island was in a state of disrepair, and Li Jun needed to personally oversee and make decisions on many things. He couldn't leave Mabast Island, but it was fine for Huang Xiaoqi to come to the island to see him. Li Jun thought about it and realized that after a long day, having such an energetic girl like Huang Xiaoqi to help him relax would be a good thing.
"..."
"Brother Jun, you mean..."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Huang Xiaoqi was slightly taken aback, and when she spoke, her tone was full of disbelief.
Dart City is very close to the Bikel region, and the Huang family naturally knows something about the situation on Mabast Island.
However, the Huang family was powerless to do anything about it. Putting aside Pix Nannold on the island, the Fernandin family alone was not someone the Huang family could afford to offend in Luzon.
Huang Xiaoqi felt like she was dreaming when Li Jun managed to take over Marbacher Island so quickly. She remembered that she had only parted ways with Li Jun the day before yesterday. In other words, Li Jun only took two days to deal with Pix Nannold, the warlord who had ruled Marbacher Island for nearly 30 years? And he also took over the Fernandi family, a prominent family in Luzon?
“Jun, I really want to go to Marbach Island right now and have you tell me in person how you did these... these miracles.”
At this moment, Huang Xiaoqi's face and tone of voice were full of admiration, and her eyes were full of stars. For a strong-willed woman like her, a man like Li Jun who could create miracles was like a human aphrodisiac, making her unable to resist.
“Come to Marbach Island tomorrow, and I will tell you slowly.”
Li Jun said with a smile.
"Ah."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words on the other end of the phone, Huang Xiaoqi blushed, gave a soft "Mmm," and then whispered, "Brother Jun, you must be very tired today. I won't disturb your rest. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, Xiao Qi, see you tomorrow."
After saying this with a smile, Li Jun hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, on Hong Kong Island, there was someone whose feelings were completely opposite to Li Jun's.
That person's name is Eugene.
If Li Jun is full of hope for the future and feels that the road ahead is bright, then Eugene only sees a bleak future.
Inside the office of Governor Eugene at the Governor's residence.
"Governor, are you really not going to reconsider?"
Governor Shi Kang looked at Eugene in front of him with a somewhat anxious expression.
“Shi Kang, I have told you many times that I am resigning. Tomorrow morning, I will give a public speech to announce my resignation as Governor of Hong Kong. In addition, I will take full responsibility for what has happened in Hong Kong during this period.”
“In this way, the pressure on you and the Hong Kong British government will be much less. After all, I, as the Governor of Hong Kong, will personally come out to give these people of Hong Kong an explanation, and they should have nothing to say.”
Eugene said quietly.
"Eugene, this is so unfair to you."
After hearing Eugene's words, Shi Kang stopped addressing him as "Mr. Governor" and instead called him by his full name.
"Ishikawa, for us politicians, there is only self-interest, not fairness, and..."
At this point, Eugene looked at the picture of Queen Elizabeth hanging on the wall, a smile appearing on his face, and then said calmly, "Shi Kang, when I joined the Colonial Department, I swore an oath to do everything for the Queen. I have told many lies and deceived many people in my life. This time, I don't want to deceive myself anymore."
“Eugene, the Queen will remember your contributions, the Zu family will remember your contributions, and our Hong Kong British government will also remember your contributions.”
Shi Kang looked at Eugene, his expression moved, and slowly spoke, word by word.
"Seventy years old is too late. I should have retired earlier to spend time with my family."
Eugene didn't respond to Shi Kang's words, but instead chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Shi Kang, the responsibility for the next few months will fall on your shoulders. Before the new governor arrives, I suggest you start from three aspects."
"Eugene, you speak."
Shi Kang nodded in agreement.
"Firstly, we should gather the people from the Political Department and establish another department with the same functions. Our Hong Kong British government must have such a department."
"Secondly, Gerald is right, we should use Chinese against Chinese, but it's not just about finding people in the open to deal with Li Jun. We also need to support people in the gang. Nobody wants to be suppressed by others forever."
"Thirdly, we must unite the four major foreign banks, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and other forces in our country. It didn't matter when the Chinese were insignificant, but now that Li Jun has gained power, we Americans must unite and let everyone know that Hong Kong Island still belongs to us."
Eugene's expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely serious.
"Eugene, I'll remember this!"
Shi Kang looked at Eugene with a similarly solemn expression and slowly nodded.
"Yes, Shi Kang, I'm tired. Let me sleep peacefully in this house for one last night."
Eugene smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
Good night, Mr. Governor!
Shi Kang stood up, bowed deeply to Eugene, and then turned and left.
