Chapter 15: Deceitful Rhetoric

Su Yi knew very well in his heart that the Bavaria-class battleship Yongxiang would definitely cause shock to all countries in the world, after all, the Yongxiang was not built by any country in this world, and all countries in the world would be very curious about the origin of the Yongxiang, but of course Su Yi would not tell others that the Yongxiang was purchased from the system by himself, so Su Yi prepared another deceptive statement.

At the port wharf of Xingang City, Liu Muqing looked at the dozens of warships parked at the berth, and asked Su Yi excitedly: "General Su, can you tell me about the origin of these warships in the Xingang fleet?" I counted just now, the Newport fleet should have two dreadnought battleships, two former dreadnought battleships, two large armored cruisers, six light cruisers, and eighteen destroyers, which is already more powerful than the entire Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire! ”

After Su Yi extracted one Bavaria-class battleship, six Wiesbaden-class light cruisers, and eighteen Vickers-class destroyers, as well as 10,000 army-type primary combat biochemical personnel and 16,000 navy-type primary combat biochemical personnel, as well as a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies, all of which were extracted to the real world, he ordered the large armored cruiser Flying Eagle to return to the port of Newport City with a passenger ship carrying military observers from the Gisk Empire and reporters from Liuyun Daily.

Su Yi immediately waited at the port wharf in person, waiting for the military observers of the Jisk Empire and the reporters of Liuyun Daily, and by the time the Flying Eagle and the passenger ship arrived at the port, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Yi didn't expect that the military observer of the Jisk Empire turned out to be a girl about twenty years old, while the reporter of Liuyun Daily was a super beauty about twenty years old.

The first time Su Yi saw Liu Muqing, he was as shocked as Liu Muqing when he saw the port dock of Xingang City, there were so many warships.

Su Yi has seen too many beauties in the original world, from TV and the Internet, but in terms of appearance and temperament, it is simply rare to be able to compare with the Liu Muqing in front of him, which made Su Yi's heart ripple, and Su Yi immediately agreed to Liu Muqing's request to interview him.

Liu Muqing saw Su Yi, the well-known hero of the Liuyun Empire, at first sight, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, mainly because Su Yi was too ordinary, about one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, and his figure was a little thin, a face that was not ugly, but definitely not handsome, which was very different from the image of the big hero in Liu Muqing's mind.

Of course, in order to get Su Yi's exclusive interview, Liu Muqing was still very enthusiastic about Su Yi, and Su Yi also agreed to her interview request.

"Hehe, that ...... I can't be called a general, so Miss Liu should just call me by my name! It may be that he has never been in contact with such a beautiful beauty, and when Su Yi and Liu Muqing were talking, they were a little nervous in their hearts.

The armies of various countries in this world have not yet appeared in the military rank system, only the size of the official position, the title of general, is handed down from the ancient army, generally only the division commander, deputy division commander and higher-level military senior officials, can be called generals.

Liu Muqing said with a smile: "You must know that the captain of each battleship in the Navy is equivalent to the deputy division commander or division commander of the army, and you have such a powerful fleet under your command, it is not an exaggeration to call you a general!" General Su, you haven't answered my question yet! ”

Su Yi raised his hand and touched his nose, and then said: "When I say it, it may be hard to believe, in fact, these warships of the Xingang fleet belong to me personally, as for these warships, they were built in a secret shipyard, and this secret shipyard does not belong to any country, it only belongs to me!" ”

"Secret shipyards? Not a country yet? General Su, can you reveal the exact location of this secret shipyard? And how did you get this shipyard? ”

Liu Muqing was even more excited at this time, a secret shipyard that does not belong to any country, what a big news! And this secret shipyard can also build dreadnought battleships with a main gun caliber of more than 305 mm!

You must know that among the four major powers in the East, only the Purple Moon Empire can build dreadnought battleships, but the six dreadnought battleships currently in service in the Purple Moon Empire have only 305 mm of main gun caliber.

"I can only tell you that this shipyard is on an island, as for the specific location of the island, and how to get this shipyard, I have no comment!"

"General Su, where are all the soldiers under your command recruited? Are they from the Flowing Cloud Empire? ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Liu, but that's also my secret."

"General Su, can you elaborate on the parameters of the two dreadnought battleships?"

"These two Yongzi-class dreadnought battleships, the first ship is Yongxiang, and the other is Yonghui, with a standard displacement of 28,506 tons, a full load displacement of 32,850 tons, a maximum speed of 22 knots, and four twin 45 times caliber 380 mm main gun ......"

Although Su Yi was vague on many issues, Liu Muqing also got a lot of exciting news from Su Yi, and on the morning of the second day after the end of the naval battle, Liu Muqing sent a telegram to the headquarters of Liuyun Daily at the telegraph office in Xingang City.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Muqing's telegram was placed on the table of Li Hong, the emperor of the Liuyun Empire.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of Su Yi's remarks?" Emperor Li Hong asked Prime Minister Cao Ziliang in a deep voice that this telegram from Liu Muqing was sent by Prime Minister Cao Ziliang to Emperor Li Hong.

"Your Majesty, there are countless large and small islands in the ocean, and many islands in the depths of the ocean have no belonging, Su Yi may really have a shipyard on an island, and it is a world-class shipyard, otherwise it would be impossible to build two dreadnought battleships with 380 mm guns!"

"Prime Minister, did you say that this shipyard would be on an island in the territorial waters of our Liuyun Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the island where this shipyard is located must be quite a small area, and the eligible islands of our Liuyun Empire are all under the surveillance of the Royal Navy, if what Su Yi said is true, this shipyard should not be in the territorial waters of our Liuyun Empire."

"Prime Minister, have the people sent by the Admiralty to Newport City departed?"

"Your Majesty, this time Count Tang Guoyi of the Admiralty is ready to rush to Xingang City in person, and Count Tang Guoyi has not yet set off."

Tang Guoyi is one of the senior staff members of the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire, in the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire, the largest official position is the Minister of the Navy, followed by the Vice Minister of the Navy, and under the Vice Minister of the Navy, there are three senior staff members, helping the Minister of the Navy and the Vice Minister of the Navy, and taking charge of the national naval affairs.

"Let Tang Guoyi test whether he can let Su Yi dedicate that shipyard and the entire fleet to the Royal Navy, and I can reward him with a hereditary earl and give him a county as a fief!"

"The minister will then convey His Majesty's meaning to Count Tang Guoyi, and the minister will also send His Majesty's meaning to Su Yi's father, Baron Su Mingyuan, hoping that Su Yi's father can have some influence on him."

"Tell Su Yi's father that if Su Yi agrees to dedicate that shipyard and entire fleet to the Royal Navy, I can promote him to hereditary viscount and give him two more counties as fiefs."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Prime Minister, do you read Liuyun Daily's interview with Su Yi, is it appropriate to publish it?"

"Your Majesty, the fleet under Su Yi's command has sunk seven warships of the Celestial Star Empire, and it has spread all over the world, presumably there are many people in our Liuyun Empire who know about it, so it is better to admit it generously, how to say that it is also a great victory for our Liuyun Empire's navy, as for the Liuyun Daily's interview with Su Yi, the minister thinks that some content can be deleted and then released."

On January 11, 3011 in the Tang calendar, Liuyun Daily, the largest newspaper in the capital of the Liuyun Empire, published the news of the Liuyun Empire's naval victory, and at the same time published an interview with Su Yi, which immediately caused a shock in the entire Liuyun Empire.

In a study room of the Baron's Mansion in Fushan County, Anping County, Hedong Province, Baron Su Mingyuan asked his third son Su Tao in a deep voice: "Do you know that the fourth brother has a shipyard and a fleet in his hands?" ”

Su Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Father, the fourth brother has never told me about the shipyard and the fleet, and the fourth brother has been staying in Fushan County before, and he has never left Fushan County in the past twenty years, and I don't know how he can have a world-class shipyard and a super powerful naval fleet." ”

Baron Su Mingyuan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Now the Prime Minister has personally sent a telegram to his father, hoping that his father can persuade the fourth to dedicate the shipyard and the entire fleet to the Royal Navy, and the royal family is willing to reward the fourth child with a hereditary earl, and then give the fourth child a county as a fief." ”

Su Tao immediately said urgently: "Father, private wealth is sacrosanct, this is stipulated by the Constitution of the Liuyun Empire, the shipyard and fleet in the hands of the fourth brother are the wealth that belongs to our Su family, and cannot be dedicated to the royal family!" With that shipyard and a family fleet of two super dreadnought battleships and two former dreadnought battleships, our Su family can immediately become one of the top families in the Liuyun Empire! ”

Baron Su Mingyuan continued: "If the fourth child can dedicate the shipyard and the entire fleet to the Royal Navy, the emperor can promote me to a hereditary viscount, and set aside two more counties as the fiefs of our Su family. ”

Hearing this, Su Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, I still think that the value of the shipyard and the fleet is greater, and even a hereditary earl and a hereditary viscount combined, it is far inferior. ”

Baron Su Mingyuan then sighed and said, "That shipyard and that fleet with two super dreadnought battleships are really too valuable, I'm worried that our Su family won't be able to keep it at all." ”

"Father, did the fourth brother send a telegram back?"

"That rabbit cub sent him several telegrams for his father, and he didn't reply to any of them!"

"Father, why don't you let me go to Newport City?"

"Now the land route to Newport City has been cut off by the army of the Celestial Star Empire, and the sea route is not safe, let's wait a while!"
