Bian Changdi and the others staggered back to Port Arthur, and those who should have entered the hospital entered the hospital, and those who should have entered the dock entered the dock, and none of them could even return to Changchun to report to Guoxing'a, and enter Dalian to appear to the soldiers and civilians. The details of the naval battle were reported to Guoxinga in Changchun after the Marine Corps Commander Tal reviewed the logbook.

"Good, good, good!" After Guo Xing'a read the report in detail, he sneered for a long time, until Pi Runmin, Sai Shang'a and others broke out in a cold sweat, and then they said a few good words.

"In this battle, our army inflicted heavy losses on the British fleet, and the British resolutely did not dare to look east again. The general can reward our army for meritorious generals, so as to enhance the prestige of our army and unite the hearts of our army and people! Pi Runmin also heard that Guo Xing's laughter was not a good voice, so he could only pick up the good ones and say them first.

Although the Manchurian Navy won this battle, its own battle losses were also very serious. Many of the ships participating in the battle sank, and all of them that returned to Lushun needed to be overhauled, and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers were killed, and more than five people were killed in the battle, and the others were also wounded. Since the establishment of the Manchurian Empire by Goxinga, the Manchurian Army has never suffered such a heavy loss, and the naval battle of Dalian Bay, which is known as an unprecedented defeat for the founding of the country, has not suffered such serious losses. Moreover, the situation is also very unfavorable, the East China Sea, the North Sea, the Yellow Sea, the Yangtze River, and the Japanese Combined Fleets have all lost their essence, and the South Ocean Fleet is far away in the Americas, and the situation can be described as very bad.

"The families of the martyrs should be given preferential pensions, all the heroic souls should be promoted to the third level, and the ceremonies for entering the martyrs' shrine should be solemn and decent!" Guo Xing's face was gloomy and scary, but he still arranged the aftermath of the fallen soldiers first.

"Huh! The general can rest assured that the Cabinet and the Ministry of Military Affairs will definitely do a good job after the death of the meritorious soldiers! Pi Runmin and others hurriedly agreed, this matter is indeed a top priority.

"How much surplus does the cabinet have in its budget?" Guo Xinga suddenly asked a question that seemed irrelevant.

"There is not a lot of spare space this year, but there is still a lot of savings accumulated over the years, but ......" Pi Runmin still has relatively rich money in his hands, but he doesn't dare to give the money to Guoxing'a, and the government must have its own family background.

"But what?" Guo Xing'a knew that Pi Runmin was unwilling to pay, but he was still very curious about Pi Runmin's "but".

"The provocation has begun, the British will inevitably retaliate, the war is afraid that it will spread to the whole world, the government must be prepared, this ......" Pi Runmin mainly wants to keep some family funds, but he also has to consider the further development of the situation.

"You think, do what you want! Food, medicine, and other supplies, as well as all matters related to the national mobilization, you must make proper preparations! Guo Xing'a no longer asks whether the government should indeed have its own family background.

"General, ...... in terms of ammunition" Pi Runmin saw an opportunity, he wanted to further expand his power.

"I have my own arrangements, and the cabinet doesn't have to work hard!" Guo Xing'a didn't care about Pi Runmin's intentions, he was used to it, so he just waved his hand to tell Pi Runmin not to say anything more.

"Huh!" Pi Runmin didn't dare to persecute too hard, which caused Guo Xing's disgust, and some things were too much.

"Go ahead! Tell Xishou to come to me! Goxinga looked very tired, rubbing his temples constantly.

Guo Xing'a summoned Xishou at this time, and the meaning was enough for Pi Runmin and others to guess for a while. Since Xishou returned the big business of military quarters to the General Staff Headquarters, he has become the head of the internal affairs department of Goxinga, managing Goxinga's private money. Xishou was not the richest man in the Manchurian Empire, but he held the money bag of the Manchurian Empire, and he was more powerful than the finance minister Xuan Suning. Xishou has been the same for many years, and he has done all kinds of explanations to Guoxing'a, saving Guoxing'a a lot of unjust money, and at the same time, Xishou's own purse is also bulging. Over the years, Guo Xing'a has always trusted Xishou very much, and every time he summons Xishou, he has a great move. So this time, Guo Xing'a suddenly summoned Xishou, and Pi Runmin and the others were all shocked. As soon as Guo Xing'a asked about the government's finances, he suddenly called Xishou, which must have cost a lot of money.

"Slave happy birthday, please say hello to the general!" After sitting for a long time, Xishou's always slippery voice finally sounded behind him.

"Here we go! How much money is still on hand! Guo Xing'a didn't have any extra words, and asked directly about the money.

"General Yu'er, why listen to those copper-smelling voiced sounds, please give the general's orders, once the general has an order, the slave will definitely do it!" Xishou is very smart, he will never repay Guo Xing'a, because the people who have his own internal security department are staring, and Guo Xing'a must know everything. What Xishou has to do is just to meet all the needs of Guoxinga, as long as Guoxinga can do what he wants to do, his position in Xishou is stable.

"You've got gray hairs on your head again!" Guo Xing'a finally smiled, but after he looked back at Xishou, the smile on his face became a little bitter again.

"The general is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the minions are old!" Heeju lowered his head, a hint of horror running across his face, and he had to hide it.

The Manchurian Empire has been established for twenty-five years, and Guoxing Adu has changed from a fifteen-year-old boy to a forty-year-old middle-aged man, how can others not grow old. Xiande, the first patriarch of the empire, is over eighty years old, and others are naturally inevitably entering the twilight of their years, and the once prosperous Xishou is also over fifty years old, how can there be no gray hair in the sideburns. When Xishou heard Guo Xing'a say that he had white hair, his first reaction was not that he felt sorry for Guo Xing'a's hard work, but that he was worried that Guo Xing'a would use another newcomer. However, Xishou played a trick again, he didn't say about his hard work, nor did he say that he could still do his best, but played a trick to retreat into advance.

"Don't get too tired! What an old decay! It's still early! Guoxing Aben didn't have any special thoughts, so he naturally cooperated very well and won the plan, and he inevitably wanted to comfort Xishou a few words.

"Thank you for your care, be loyal to your master, and don't feel tired when the slave is tired!" A large part of Xishou's gray hair is due to age, and of course, there are also factors to worry about. However, he didn't worry much about the things that Guo Xing'a explained, but more about how to not leak traces of greedy ink, and put money in his pocket, so he naturally didn't feel tired when he was tired.

"Have you heard about the results of this naval battle?" Guo Xing'a personally brought a cup of tea to Xishou and motioned for him to sit down and talk to him.

"Changchun, Dalian, Fengtian, Vladivostok, Harbin have all spread all over the world, I am afraid that East Manchuria and South Manchuria have also spread, the soldiers have been bloody, and the national prestige of our Manchurian Empire has been defeated, and the general Longwei is invincible to the world!" Xishou is still singing happy songs.

"As long as you can speak, you always pick up good words!" As soon as Guo Xing'a picked up the cigarette, Xishou threw away the tea bowl and quickly stepped forward to light the cigarette. Xishou not only served Guo Xing'a like an emperor, but also regarded himself as a eunuch.

"It's said in the market, where is it said that the slave made the general happy!" Kiju smiled shyly.

"The results of this battle are very unsatisfactory, and the soldiers have suffered great losses, and it is all my fault!" Goxinga remembered the loss of the navy, and his smile immediately disappeared.

"Yingyi is rampant, how can it be the general's mistake!" Xishou didn't even know why Guo Xing'a said he was wrong, so he hurriedly excused Guo Xing'a.

"It's me who is too persistent and has been waiting for the aircraft carrier! However, such a major project as an aircraft carrier can not be achieved overnight. Now the sea is still the world of battleships, but I have repeatedly suppressed the development of battleships, which is why this tragedy has happened, and it is all my fault! Guo Xing'a just shook his head, he liked to listen to Xishou coax himself, but he still kept it clear.

"The general's holy candle shines thousands of miles, the aircraft carrier will inevitably be a sharp weapon to dominate the sea frontier in the future, and if it can't be built for a while, it should also be instructed to complete a hundred projects as soon as possible, and the general must not blame himself!" Xishou didn't know what an aircraft carrier was, but he knew that Goxinga wouldn't be wrong.

"It's not easy to do a hundred projects, don't be embarrassed for them, I'm in a hurry! Within half a year, the British will inevitably make a comeback, and at that time there can be no more wars like this. Guo Xing'a summoned Xishou because he gave up his obsession.

"Servants and billions of subjects, at any time to receive the holy hadith of the great general!" Xishou stood up and repeatedly showed respect.

"In the future, the navy will not have a place for the sea lion class, and all of them will be replaced by sea tigers, and the sea wolves will also be comprehensively upgraded and expanded. This part of the money, the cabinet will not come out, or you will handle it. The old ships need to be replaced, and the battle-damaged ships only need to be replenished, and I don't care how much is invested, in short, it must be completed within half a year. Goxinga said his first request.

"Hey, don't worry, general, the minion will definitely not delay!" Xishou felt that it was not a big deal, so he agreed very painfully. The shipyards of the Manchurian Empire had that, as long as they were willing to spend money, there was no difference between shipbuilding and dumplings.

"Naval battles are still dominated by battleships, and even Bian Changdi has changed his character, and the construction of this battleship must not be delayed. The South Sea Fleet should be replenished to 12 ships, and the remaining fleets should not have less than four battleships, and the Pacific Fleet, the East Manchurian Fleet, and the South Manchurian Fleet should also be formed and expanded. I estimated it, the gap is very big, it's all up to you, it's only half a year, please! "Cruisers and destroyers, Goxinga is not worried, it won't cost much anyway, but this battleship is too expensive.

"There are also cases at the barbarian whale level, so don't worry about the general!" Xi Shou was a little sweaty, the task of these nearly forty battleships was indeed too heavy.

"The Savage Whale class is no longer built, I have designed some new battle cruisers, and some real battleships, we are going to build new warships." Guo Xinga is used to bullying people with a golden finger, and this time he wants to make a big deal and completely take down the British.

"It's just a little strenuous, it's not a big deal, the general can rest assured!" Xishou is even more uncomfortable this time, the new battleship will be built quickly, and the money will have to be spent.

"A 40,000-ton starting and 70,000-ton uncapped battleship is indeed too expensive, and it's hard for you, but for the sake of the peace of your family and country, you have to!" Guo Xinga wants to take out some of the drawings that he has treasured for many years.

"General, why bother?" Xishou is really nervous, a ship of more than 70,000 tons, forty ships will cost nearly three million tons, and it will cost a lot of money to sell iron, not to mention the construction of warships.

"They forced me!" Goxinga looked at the map on the wall, and his gaze was on the British Isles.
