On the sixth day after leaving Wuhan, the fleet arrived at Wushan, on the seventh day after Fengjie (White Emperor City), on the eighth day it arrived at Wanxian, according to Wanxian, it was not in the Three Gorges, but the captains were still very cautious, for fear of "falling short for the mountain".

As soon as the transport fleet crossed Wanxian, it began to rain on the Yangtze River, but the trouble was that unlike the previous days, the rain was mainly concentrated in the afternoon and evening, which did not have much impact on navigation, and now it is raining heavily during the day, the visibility is extremely poor, and the speed of the fleet is reduced again.

Seeing that the seven-day period is approaching, and the hope of rushing to Chongqing is getting slimmer and slimmer, Liu Yun is a little uneasy, after all, it is an order issued by the Nanjing Military and Political Department, although I don't know what the specific thing is, I think it is mostly a big event, and it is always bad to miss the deadline, but fortunately, after all, it is the Republic of China, not a feudal society, otherwise if it is not done well, a military order will have to lose its head.

Thinking of the Daze Township uprising caused by the continuous heavy rain and the missed reporting deadline of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Liu Yun was a little chilled, and in line with the mentality of one more thing, it is better to have less one thing, and secretly prayed to Fengshi Yubo to quickly collect the wind and rain, and the fleet would rush to Chongqing in time.

Such a storm in the sky, Jia Lian laughed, patted Liu Yun's shoulder, and said with some envy, "Brother, you are really blessed with great life, if these storms are a few days earlier, I am afraid we will all have to be trapped in the Three Gorges, and what is even worse is that the Three Gorges after the heavy rain is full of broken boats, tree trunks and sediment, and the ships dare not sail at all, and when the visibility is good, I don't know what year and month to wait, in case the dry period passes, then wait to cry."

There is also such a saying, Liu Yun also felt that he was very lucky, so he also laughed stupidly, and no longer thought that the deadline was wrong, but felt that Mao was scorched, and he was in a good mood for a while, and yes, no matter what, such a continuous heavy rain, the transport fleet can still sail, which is a miracle in itself, what if it is overdue, it is difficult to really cut off the head.

When the convoy arrived in Zhongxian, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the Yangtze River had a tendency to rise, so everyone was a little afraid, so they had to stop the fleet in Zhongxian and wait for the wind and rain to be a little lighter.

In the early morning of the next day, the wind and rain gradually weakened, the river surface was turbid, the water was yellow-black, the visibility was very low, and from time to time there were tree branches, broken wood, and the carcasses of some animals.

When it was almost noon, the visibility in the river finally improved, the captains under the command of Hu Jiansheng, the ships lined up in a formation, continued to advance towards Chongqing, and finally arrived at the ghost city of Fengdu before dark, many sailors who ate the Yangtze River rice, all went to the temple in groups to worship God, Liu Yun and Jia Lian both knew that their responsibilities were heavy, and they did not dare to leave the ship casually, for fear that some heroes in the rivers and lakes would take advantage of the wind and rain to attack the fleet at night and the like, then they would die of old age.

It may be that the name of Minsheng Company has played a role, or there are too many gun barrels of the mini dreadnought, and none of the demons and monsters near the ghost town of Fengdu have come to disturb right and wrong, and the night has been calm and calm, but it has made Liu Yun and Jia Lian nervous all night.

A new day began again, although there were still some scattered light rain, it was harmless, Liu Yun and Jia Lian held two panda eyes, insisted on not getting off the line of fire, commanded the cancer warship to continue sailing, the next stop is the mountain city of Chongqing, victory is in sight, and their confidence suddenly increased.

Before noon, the transport fleet had passed through Fuling, Chongqing, the light rain gradually stopped, the sun showed half a smile, and all the crew members cheered, because everyone knew that before dark, most of them could safely arrive at the Chongqing wharf, and the captains also announced a good news in time, the fleet will rest in Chongqing for three days.

When the fleet arrived at Chaotianmen Wharf, the sky was a little dark, near the wharf, there was already a circle of military police waiting for them, as soon as the Cancer warship docked, a colonel came over with two guards, and directly asked who was Liu Yun from Hanyang Arsenal.

Liu Yun suddenly reacted, could it be because he had not arrived within the time limit and missed the specified deadline, so the relevant departments were going to come to get people, although he was a little trembling in his heart, thinking that he still had a commissioned hand, he made up his mind and tried his best to greet the arrival of the colonel with a smiling face.

The colonel didn't talk around, took out his documents, and reported directly to his home, he was Chairman Liu Xiang's adjutant, Colonel Guo Jiyuan, Liu Yun didn't know much about these doorways, and he couldn't get it for a while, and he didn't know how to pretend to understand, but handed the documents to Jia Lian next to him in time, and asked him to help the staff officers.

Jia Lian was indeed well-informed, took the document and glanced at it a few times, and then checked it, the photo and Colonel Guo's appearance himself, and nodded slightly to Liu Yuan, implying that there was no big problem.

When Liu Yun was about to speak carefully, Colonel Guo respectfully took out Liu Xiang's invitation letter, which said that Liu Yun, Zhang Sili, Delett and Li Hansi from the Hanyang Arsenal, four Sino-German joint R&D experts, were invited to the Liu Mansion in Chongqing to talk about it, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

Liu Yun was trying to excuse the fact that the fleet was busy and pushed off the matter, but found that at some point, the fleet was surrounded by military police, and several river gunboats had quietly surrounded him.

The ugly look on Liu Yun's face, Colonel Guo Jiyuan also noticed it, so he had to explain carefully, "Colonel Liu, please don't get me wrong, this is the uncle's kindness, after all, you are from our Liu family in Sichuan, your fleet, in case it is touched by a group of idle people, etc., and you lose something valuable, everyone's face is not good-looking."

"Uncle", this is the internal code word of the Liu family in Sichuan, specifically referring to Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan, and of course, the "big brother", referring to Liu Wenhui who is entrenched in Xikang, these are the contact information between the children of the Liu family, that is to say, Guo Jiyuan is also counted among the nephews of the Liu family, Liu Yun's face suddenly improved, everyone is their own person.

Liu Yun is not a child in his teens, while enthusiastically catching up with Colonel Guo Jiyuan, he sent a code to Jia Lian, asking him to take care of the Cancer warship and the situation of the transport fleet, don't just go to the appointment, this side was robbed by the cargo and the ship, he has ant armor and wisdom brain, but he is not afraid of being beaten up, speaking of which, he is still a child of the Liu family in Sichuan, but it is too embarrassing to be robbed by Liu Xiang's military police or brother Pao in Chongqing.

Soon, Zhang Sili and Dai Lite and other invited people came over one by one, Liu Yun decided to consult their opinions first, whether to go or not need a quasi-word, everyone took a boat from Wuhan to Chongqing, sat for eleven days, and passed through the Three Gorges, which is known as the "Palace of Hades", even the iron King Kong can't stand it, where is the mood to go to Liu Xiang's villa to make an appointment.

As Liu Yun expected, Hans Li, a German expert, shrugged his shoulders and waved his hands, he was not interested in socializing between politicians at all, Chinese people have liked to follow the crowd since ancient times, and when they saw someone boycotting the invitation, Zhang Sili and Da Lite did not want to go.

Fortunately, Colonel Guo is very democratic, so he respects everyone's choice, for Li Hans and other Chinese and foreign experts, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Liu Xiang's villa or not, Liu Yun touched his nose and smiled a little wryly, it turns out that this so-called invitation is only for himself.

Well, Liu Yun is an interesting person, he didn't embarrass Colonel Guo, asked the experts to rest in the next three days, and ordered Yu Zitian and other guard captains to pay close attention to the safety of steelmaking equipment and related personnel, in case he has something to delay, he will directly contact Major General Qin Guodong tomorrow, of course, when explaining these things, he did not deliberately avoid Colonel Guo Jiyuan.

With Colonel Guo and his staff, along the steep stone ladder, climbed up the Chaotian Gate, there were already several cars waiting nearby, just waiting for Liu Yun's arrival, these days for shipping non-stop, Liu Yun was so tired, as soon as he got on the car, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Yun slept soundly, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a person shaking around him, and he was startled and woke up suddenly, the car had already stopped, and the door was opened, and there was an old man in his fifties who was looking at him, who seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, and suddenly thought of a person, "introverted, deep and reserved".

"Ah, Chairman Liu is good", Liu Yun finally remembered, this introverted little old man, isn't it Liu Xiang, the actual ruler of Sichuan, why did he come in person, and screamed out in a lost voice, people in the car both wanted to salute and want to climb out, and they were in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

Liu Xiang, who was deep and subtle, pulled Liu Yun very kindly, and the generals and colonels of the Sichuan Army who were around were also stunned, and hurriedly pretended not to see it, these two are from the old Liu family, you can do whatever you want, don't have anything to do, if you make Boss Liu unhappy, everyone will be in trouble.

As soon as Liu Yun got out of the car, he saw a large number of generals and colonels, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, or salute Liu Xiang first, as soon as he saluted, Liu Xiang took his hand and walked towards the villa.

Soon arrived at the big living room, to be exact, it should be the meeting hall of the Sichuan army, Liu Xiang pulled Liu Yun and walked to the front seat, Colonel Liu looked at a large number of generals, really a little stage fright, and said with a little sneer, "Chairman Liu, the humble post is still waiting below."

"I don't talk about business today, just family affairs", Liu Xiang smiled proudly, glanced at the generals slightly, pulled Liu Yun to sit on the main seat, and the rest of the generals knew Chairman Liu's temper, and they didn't dare to blow up, so they obediently sat down one by one according to the usual seat.

Liu Yun sat next to Chairman Liu Xiang, although the other generals did not squint, he also felt that the chair was full of thorns, and cold sweat broke out on his back, but fortunately, his head was not confused thoroughly, and he also knew that the seat was arranged by Liu Xiang, and there was no such thing as "the dog sat in a sedan chair and did not know how to lift", so he had to straighten up and put half of his butt on the chair, looking at his nose and nose and heart.

Liu Xiang waited for everyone to sit down, and then introduced Liu Yun to everyone with a smile, "This is Liu's nephew, the son of Liu Hubei in western Sichuan, who only came back from the United States in August, and just arrived in Shanghai, he was favored by Yang Gengguang in Nanjing, and was taken to the Army University for training.

Liu Xiang talked about sincere unity, and glanced at these generals intentionally or unintentionally, but none of these generals are human spirits, and they are becoming more and more successful in cultivating qi.

also knew that these old fritters were thick-skinned, and they were in a good mood today, so Liu Xiang didn't take the opportunity to train people, so he continued, "Originally, President Wang of the Nanjing Executive Yuan, for the sake of the face of our Sichuan Jun brothers, planned to let Yicheng go to Baoshan County in Shanghai to be the county magistrate."
