Chapter 55: The Convergence of the Fleets (3)

"It seems that the masses are in good shape, and their mental outlook is very good. ”

"Yes, it seems that our previous worries are a little redundant, the mood of the masses has not been affected by the crossing, but it may be that the government officials have done their jobs properly. ”

"Isn't that a good thing? It saves us a lot of trouble. ”

"Old Xiao, don't be too happy, looking at the current situation, it can indeed save us a lot of trouble, but I think the new trouble is about to start. ”

"Oh, Lao Qin, how did you say that. ”

At nine o'clock in the morning, the three RoPax ships informed the passengers of the fact that the fleet had crossed at the same time, and the administrative staff, as well as the leadership of the three RoPax ships and the evacuees, were ready to respond to contingencies at any time.

But the result was much more than they expected, and after the broadcast of the radio, the crew went through a period of silence to digest the news, and although some people's emotions did change, it did not cause a collective or mass panic. And everyone inquired about it on the boat, and most of the reactions they heard were:

"Crossed? Is this true? We really crossed. ”

"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and now it's finally here. ”

"It's great to finally be the king, and the wheels of time are starting to roll. ”

"O God, you have finally answered my accusations, I have come, I have seen, I have conquered. ”

............

Of course, most of the people who reacted in this way were young people under the age of 30, and those over the age of 30 reacted in most of the people's imagination, but most of the members of the evacuation were young people between the ages of 20 and 30.

And then the radio announced the era of crossing, and the news that the crossing fleet defeated the eight-nation coalition army stationed at Dagukou, originally wanted to boost the confidence of the crew, but it did not cause a strong reaction, not that people were indifferent to the news of the victory, but were busy looking for information about this era, as a generation of young people who grew up in the culture of time, who does not have a few time-traveling novels in their mobile phones, tablets, and computers? Although not everyone has a novel that travels to the end of the Qing Dynasty, even if they travel to other dynasties, they can also refer to the successful experience of their predecessors.

However, there are also some people who subconsciously open the browser, planning to check information on the Internet, and it took a long time to remember the fact that there is no network after crossing. Some people accept this reality very rationally, looking for the information they need from the hard disk and memory card, but some people scolded, what kind of broken era is this, not even WIFI, how to live this day.

Complaints are complaints, but the young people who have been deeply influenced by the culture of crossing quickly adjusted their mentality and faced the reality with a more positive attitude, on the one hand, they exchanged what they have, exchanged all the novels between each other, and on the other hand, they launched a heated discussion, how to develop in this era, whether to adopt the constitutional monarchy system or the road of democratic republic, whether to develop the capitalist market economy or the socialist planning system, whether to develop large-scale industrialization or to surround the city with the countryside, and so onThe atmosphere is very warm, and sometimes it will be red-faced. And even if there are some people's emotions affected, but under the infection of such a heated discussion, my heart is a lot calmer, so many people don't care, and I am anxious.

After Wang Yunpeng and others learned about these situations, they also felt a little crying and laughing, and they were really worried for a long time in vain. In the end, it is a generation of young people who have grown up in the culture, and this psychological tolerance is strong, and they seem to be unable to keep up with the times, you must know that the age of Wang Yunpeng and others is not too old, and they are only in their early forties, but compared with young people, they have completely become two eras.

However, this result is also very good, and it can indeed save a lot of trouble. At the same time, when he arrived at Dagukou, he also gave an explanation to the military.

In such an atmosphere, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, three ro-ro passenger ships arrived at the Dagukou wharf under the protection of the Taihu, Sanya, and Huaihua ships. And everyone on the ship also stopped the discussion, came to the board, leaned on the side of the ship, and visited the real scene of China more than 100 years ago.

By this time the clean-up on the docks was almost complete, and the captives were taken into the barracks and imprisoned. However, there are still many traces of the battle, because it is on the sea surface of the pier, many warships sunk by the crossing fleet are half-exposed on the sea, but the hull is full of bullet marks, and the steel plate ship's side is twisted and twisted, showing that a fierce battle has just been fought. Fortunately, the corpses in the sea have been salvaged, otherwise it is estimated that many people will vomit out.

The British ship Orlando, the German ship Lufthansa, and more than a dozen transport ships captured by the crossing fleet are still parked at the dock, but the flags of each country have been removed, and each ship is guarded by marines. This also shows that the control of Dagukou has completely fallen into the hands of the crossing fleet.

Seeing these scenes, the crew members of the three passenger ro-ro ships were excited, and sure enough, they really crossed.

Although in the old time and space, some people have visited the ruins of Dagukou Fort, but after all, it is more than a hundred years later, and after the modern repair of the ruins, what they see now is the original ecological ancient landscape, which is naturally very different. Therefore, people were in high spirits, and even those who were not in a high mood just now were mobilized, pointing and talking loudly on the boat, and at the same time they took out their mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, and cameras, and took wild photos, selfies, and pictures of the dock.

Because they have just crossed, there are still many people who are not aware of being in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, after taking photos, they instinctively want to send the photos to their own Weibo and WeChat, and pass them to their relatives and friends, so that some people even called, and they did not come back to their senses after ringing for a long time, and scolded the signal here is too poor.

Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Jianjun personally came to the dock to pick up the boat, and seeing such a scene also surprised the three of them, and once had the illusion of returning to the old time and space to travel.

Hearing Xiao Jianjun's rhetorical question, Qin Zheng said: "Looking at the reaction of the masses now, it shows that the mood of the masses has not been affected by the crossing, and it also means that the masses are full of expectations for this era, and it is estimated that they all want to do something in this era, but this anger can only be drummed, not vented, which requires that our actions must meet their needs, at least in the short term, to achieve major results, in order to maintain their spirit." ”

Xiao Jianjun was a little puzzled, and said: "Didn't we already occupy Dagukou? Moreover, we basically annihilated the Eight-Nation Alliance Army in Dagukou, isn't this result not great?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "This result is indeed not small, if the mood of the masses is not high, it is an encouragement to them, but now for the masses, this battle has nothing to do with them, because this battle happened before they knew the facts, and if we want to maintain this momentum of the masses, we must achieve major results in a short period of time that are no less than those of the Dagukou Battle, so that the masses have full confidence in our combat effectiveness." ”

At this time, Xia Bohai said: "What Lao Qin said is not wrong, and even if there is no demand from the masses, we must make a new breakthrough as soon as possible, I have considered this problem, occupying Dagukou and going ashore is only our first step, but Dagukou itself is only a coastal defense fortress, one has no residents, and two is not supplemented, and it cannot be a good stronghold." And now we have more than 3,000 prisoners, plus more than 1,000 people who have been released by us, we have more than 4,000 people to bear, and the food and materials seized from Dagu Pass are only enough to last for more than a month, and we can only be trapped and killed if we stay in Dagukou, we must obtain as soon as possible an area with a large population and can obtain stable supplies, because we not only need food and materials, but also recruit troops and expand our army. ”

Xiao Jianjun reacted immediately and said, "Lao Xia, you mean that our next goal is to capture Tianjin?"

Xia Bohai nodded and said: "Yes, there is no future in Dagukou, we must occupy Tianjin as soon as possible, in order to be able to truly gain a firm foothold, and then we can take the development test." ”

In fact, for the attack on Tianjin, Xiao Jianjun had already planned for it, because Dagu-Tianjin was originally one, and after capturing Dagukou, he would definitely attack Tianjin, but he didn't think about it as comprehensively as Xia Bohai, but in Xiao Jianjun's heart, he had already drawn up several combat plans, and he didn't feel any surprise at this time, and said: "Okay, then today we will hold a military meeting to study the battle plan for attacking Tianjin." ”

Qin Zheng shook his head and said: "I don't think we can immediately convene a military conference now, there are still a lot of things that we urgently need to solve now, so I think we should first convene an enlarged plenary meeting, and the participants are representatives of all parties, and determine our general direction in the future, and then consider military issues." ”

Xia Bohai said with a smile: "This is not a contradiction, now that everyone has arrived, we can convene an enlarged plenary meeting in the afternoon to get everything that should be done, and then hold a military meeting in the evening to study how to attack Tianjin, and in the afternoon, we can also do some preparations, such as interrogating prisoners, understanding the deployment of Tianjin, sending drones to take pictures of Tianjin, and so on." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Also, the Zhao Weizhong we rescued from the sea turned out to be a person from the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, he should know the situation in Tianjin very well, we can ask him." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Yes, I forgot about him and brought him right away." ”
