"Sir Cun, I know that Chief Sun is new here and is not familiar with the customs and customs here. Please let me serve as your advisor and see if you need any help." Hearing Li Si's words, Sun Liren's heart moved slightly. Chief Cun's move was obviously well thought out. When he first arrived in this strange land, he really needed help from someone who was familiar with the local customs. "Sir Cun is very considerate." Sun Liren nodded slightly and then asked, "Please tell me about the situation here, such as the distribution of local forces, resource conditions, and possible difficulties." Li Si cleared his throat and began to introduce in detail: "Sir Sun, the situation here is rather complicated." "There are several major forces in the local area. In addition to some indigenous tribes, there are also some foreign businessmen and forces competing secretly." "As for resources, although this place seems desolate, there are actually some unique resources. For example, the most abundant here is oil..." As Li Si told it, Sun Liren had a deeper understanding of this land, and began to think about how to establish an advance base and complete the mission in such an environment. "Thank you for the valuable information. Without your information, I'm afraid I would be at a loss now and wouldn't know where to start." This time, Sun Liren truly expressed his sincere gratitude. Through Li Si's introduction, Sun Liren had a clearer understanding of the local situation.

He also didn't expect that the local situation would be so complicated. This was far beyond his imagination. If Cun Yunsheng hadn't made arrangements in advance, I'm afraid he would really be blind now. Considering that the situation here is very complicated, he needs to carefully handle the relationship with all parties in the process of establishing an advance base. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid conflicts with indigenous tribes and win their support or at least remain neutral; on the other hand, it is necessary to be wary of interference and destruction from foreign merchants and forces. "In other words, except for oil, other resources here are extremely scarce? Do they need to be transported from the outside world?" Sun Liren looked confused after learning about it. He also considered the difficulties he faced, such as the harsh natural environment, material shortages, lack of personnel, and inconvenient transportation. In response to these difficulties, Li Si also gave corresponding solutions. After all, he has been here for half a year, so he naturally has a certain understanding of the customs and customs here. For example, in response to the problem of harsh natural environment, the construction of protective facilities in the base can be strengthened to improve the adaptability of personnel. Material shortages can be solved by contacting the outside world, finding alternative resources, or engaging in self-sufficient production. For the problem of insufficient personnel, he can only find a solution by himself, but if he recruits personnel to build the base, he can be responsible for providing it. As for traffic inconvenience, we can try to improve traffic conditions, build roads or open transportation channels. It can be said that after half a year of experience, Li Si's current ability is still very good. After understanding the local conditions, Sun Liren felt that he could start to formulate specific construction plans. To put it bluntly, it was to send a telegram to Cun Yunsheng to ask for help. "Advisor Li..." After Sun Liren gave the order, he looked at Li Si aside and asked. "Sir, do you have any other orders?" After hearing this, Li Si pondered for a moment and then chuckled, remembering the telegram Cun Yunsheng sent him.

It was specifically emphasized above that Sun Liren is not easy to fool, and the content is not very confidential and can be disclosed. Upon hearing Sun Liren's inquiry, Li Si quickly thought about how to respond. Fortunately, he was prepared for Sun Liren's questions. Thinking of the telegram sent by Cun Yunsheng, Li Si knew that he needed to give Sun Liren a certain response without revealing too confidential content. Li Si looked serious and said: "Sir Sun, Commander Cun has no other special orders at the moment. However, Commander Cun has high hopes for you. I hope you can give full play to your military talents in this land and successfully complete various tasks." ” "Sir Sun, the current situation here is relatively complicated, with various forces intertwined, but I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will be able to deal with it properly. Chief Cun will also provide you with support and assistance when necessary." Hearing this, Sun Liren frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with Li Si. This was obviously official talk. After thinking about it, Sun Liren said again. "Advisor Li, I am not a fool. I don't care if you have other tasks here, but now I want to know the specific location of the German army." This is what Sun Liren is most concerned about. After all, his mission here is to stop the German army from advancing. "It should be in the Golan Heights area." Li Si thought for a while and gave the answer. This was not a secret and could be given. Moreover, the other party's mission was to stop the German army. There was really no need to hide it. After hearing Li Si's answer, Sun Liren fell into deep thought. The terrain and situation in the Golan Heights quickly emerged in his mind. Before coming, he studied the map for several days to have a general understanding of the terrain here and where the so-called highland was. After a long time, Sun Liren frowned slightly and said to Li Si: "Thank you, Advisor Li, for informing me that since the German army may be in the Golan Heights, we need to understand the specific situation there as soon as possible, including the German army's troop deployment, equipment status and possible direction of action. " Li Si nodded and said: "What Chief Sun said is absolutely true. I will try my best to collect more information about the German army for you." "However, since I am not a professional military personnel, the information may not be accurate and comprehensive in some aspects." "You can send reconnaissance troops to conduct reconnaissance near the Golan Heights to obtain more reliable intelligence." Sun Liren recognized Li Si's suggestion and decided to send a small team to investigate the situation in the Golan Heights. At the same time, he began to formulate preliminary combat plans to deal with the German army. Considering that the task was to hinder the advance of the German army, Sun Liren needed to make full use of the terrain advantages, set up fortifications, and organize effective firepower deployment to delay the German offensive as much as possible. In this process, Sun Liren also realized Li Si's role. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy if I wanted to get familiar with the situation here as soon as possible. Although Li Si is not a military professional, he is familiar with the local situation and may provide valuable suggestions for combat plans in some aspects. For example, Li Si can help determine the best defensive positions and provide information about local resources and traffic conditions so that troops can better carry out logistics support and combat deployment. Of course, Sun Liren was also wary of Li Si. After all, Li Si's identity is indeed very suspicious, especially if there may be other tasks and purposes behind it. Sun Liren needs to be more vigilant while cooperating. …

"Is it true that nothing will happen if Li Si is asked to serve as a consultant to Sun Liren?" In Hanoi, Meng Fangli, the Governor-General's Mansion, expressed concern about asking Li Si to serve as a consultant to Sun Liren. First of all, Li Si was an important chess piece that Cun Yunsheng arranged to go to the Middle East in advance. After more than half a year, Li Si became prosperous in the Middle East and had a good relationship with the local indigenous people. This shows that Li Si has established a certain network of contacts and resources in the Middle East, which plays a key role in obtaining local intelligence and material transportation. However, it was precisely because of Li Si's special status and important role that Meng Fanglia worried that problems might arise if he served as a consultant to Sun Liren. On the one hand, Li Si, as a person born in Cun Yunsheng, has specific tasks and missions, and there may be conflicts or contradictions between these tasks and Sun Liren's tasks. If Li Si cannot balance the relationship between the two while serving as a consultant, it may lead to some adverse consequences. On the other hand, Li Si mixes well with the local indigenous people, which may also bring some risks. If Li Si is too biased towards the interests of the local indigenous people in the process of cooperating with Sun Liren, or is influenced by the power of the local indigenous people, it may affect Sun Liren's decision-making and actions. In addition, Li Si's actions may also attract the attention of other forces, thus bringing more uncertainty to the entire situation. However, from another perspective, there are certain benefits to letting Li Si serve as a consultant to Sun Liren. Li Si was familiar with the local conditions and had good relations with the indigenous people, and could provide Sun Liren with valuable intelligence and advice. He can also help Sun Liren better understand local culture and customs, and avoid misunderstandings and conflicts caused by cultural differences. "What can happen? Unless he doesn't want his family anymore? What's more, without our support, he is nothing." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous. Cun Yunsheng disagreed with Meng Fanglia's concerns and believed that Li Si would not have any problems because his family was closely connected with his own interests, and he would achieve nothing without his own support. Hearing this, Meng Fanglia quickly explained. "Master, I'm not worried about this, but I think Sun Liren will affect our cooperation with the German army?" He knew, however, that Cun Yunsheng had close ties with the German army in private, and Sun Liren's actions might have an impact on this relationship. If Sun Liren's mission conflicts with the interests of the German army, it may undermine Cun Yunsheng's cooperation with the German army. For example, if Sun Liren is too tough when performing the task of blocking the advance of the German army, it may trigger a strong backlash from the German army, thereby affecting the cooperative relationship between the two parties. In addition, Sun Liren's actions may also attract the attention and intervention of other forces, further exacerbating the complexity of the situation. If other forces take advantage of the conflict between Sun Liren and the German army to seek their own interests, then Cun Yunsheng's cooperation plan may face greater challenges. "Do you think Sun Liren knows our plan?" Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but asked instead. "You shouldn't know, right?" Meng Fanxiao was also a little unsure. "That's fine. Even if he knows, so what? The logistics of his troops are all in our hands." Cun Yunsheng looked very calm. "And his current task is to build a forward base. When the base is repaired, I am afraid that the German army has already reached the Caucasus." Cun Yunsheng's response showed his confidence and control. "Even if he knows some of our plans, it's useless. Don't forget, the soldiers under his command are all our people." Cun Yunsheng said very confidently. He believed that even if Sun Liren knew their plan, they would not be able to change anything because the logistics of the army were in their hands.

This is an important bargaining chip, which means that Sun Liren relies heavily on the support of Cun Yunsheng. Without logistical support, the troops' movements will be greatly restricted. In addition, by the time the base is repaired, the German troops may have already reached the Caucasus. By that time, it no longer mattered whether to continue pursuing the Germans. It was precisely because of his certain prediction of the development of the situation that Cun Yunsheng dared to ask Li Si to be the consultant. Of course, there will also be certain risks. If Sun Liren becomes suspicious of their plans, or attempts to take action to undermine their cooperation with the German army, it may trigger a series of unexpected consequences. For example, Sun Liren might report the situation to Stilwell. After all, the Americans still value Sun Liren very much. "You are right. If he reports to Stilwell, it will indeed be a trouble. Therefore, Li Si needs to pay close attention to Sun Liren's actions and attitude and slowly test his tone." Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly. . If Stilwell hadn't specifically emphasized that Sun Liren should be the commander, he wouldn't have such a headache. "I believe he should know that national interests are greater than personal interests." In this regard, Meng Fanglia chose to remain silent. He believed that the simplest thing was to find a way and it would be best to kill him directly. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How about other places?" Cun Yunsheng saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and asked. "We are currently advancing, and it is estimated that it will take another month or two to capture almost the entire island of Kalimantan." Meng Fangliao said quickly. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded. Taking Kalimantan Island will bring many benefits. From a strategic perspective, Kalimantan's geographical location is important and controlling the island can gain strategic advantages. At the same time, the island may be rich in natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, timber, etc. These resources are of great significance to the conduct of the war and subsequent development. However, trying to capture the entire island of Kalimantan within a month or two also faces some challenges. The resistance of the Japanese army is still tenacious. They may use various means to counterattack and slow down the attack. The main reason is that there is a lot of pressure on logistics support, personnel deployment and other aspects. "Our foundation is still too poor. As long as we have half the strength of the United Navy, no, a quarter of the strength, it will be very easy to capture these islands." Cun Yunsheng showed a pity expression on his face. "However, with the arrival of the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, I believe it won't be long before we can build our own 10,000-ton warship." Speaking of the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, a hint of excitement flashed across Cun Yunsheng's face. This is a real artifact that governs the country. If he hadn't used intelligence to grasp the German army, it would have been basically impossible to exchange for these things. (End of chapter)
