Time flies in a blink of an eye, and in a flash, time has passed quietly for two years.

June 1898. The scorching heat filled the entire headquarters with a stuffy atmosphere.

In the headquarters office, Liu Jun, who was already twenty-five years old, stretched his waist, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the calendar on the table, which was already the 20th.

Reaching out to pick up the blue and white porcelain teacup placed next to him, Liu Jun took a sip lightly, and the aromatic breath made Liu Jun smell it at once, this is Zheng Yiqian's tea, and only Zheng Yiqian can make such fragrant tea, unlike Zhong Lin, no matter how good the tea is, it can only brew the taste of coarse tea in his hands.

A light footstep sounded from outside the door, and Liu Jun didn't need to look to know that his assistant Zheng Yiqian, who was also a secretary and office cleaner, walked in.

"Marshal, the second batch of cadets of the Military Academy will hold a graduation ceremony the day after tomorrow and invite you to participate."

Well, Liu Jun nodded, which can be regarded as a promise, but Zheng Yiqian doesn't seem to have finished the matter yet.

Liu Jun took a look at this military officer, who is now a colonel, with a green military uniform, a green cloth hat on his head, a German pistol reproduced by the Ordnance Bureau a year ago, and a black military belt around his waist, which suddenly made this feminine Zheng Yiqian even more moving.

The military uniform of the Liaodong Army is no longer the original gray big cap uniform, but a new type of military uniform designed by Liu Jun according to the military uniform of the Central Army during the Republic of China in later generations.

The reason for changing the military uniform of the Liaodong Army is that according to the reaction of the various corps, the steel helmet sent down cannot be worn at all, the military cap of the Liaodong Army is a big cap, this kind of hat, in battle, it is easy to slip off, and, wearing a big cap, don't want to wear a steel helmet, according to the suggestions of each guest group, Liu Jun ordered the revocation of the Liaodong Army big cap. Instead, they put on cloth hats, so that the steel helmets that were distributed would be useful.

"Marshal, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau has sent a secret telegram, and the Yin Sen has finished its claws, waiting for you to preside over the launching work." Zheng Yiqian opened the Lushun file again and handed out a telegram.

Oh. Eerie, Liu Jun suddenly stood up when he heard these three words.

Since I left Fujian two years ago, I have not been to Fujian. Now, two years later. At the beginning, Pei Yinsen told himself that the warship could be launched in two years, and now it has really come true.

"You can let Zhong Lin arrange it later." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the pen in his hand again, and began to sign the document.

Zheng Yiqian nodded, closed the folder, turned around and walked out.

Two years of peace, two years of peace, Liaodong is no longer the Liaodong of two years ago.

First of all, after two years of construction, except for the route from Heilongjiang to Kulen in Outer Mongolia, which is still under construction, the rest of the routes have been opened to traffic.

The Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, on the other hand, was put into production a year ago, and now its iron output, although it is not yet well-known in the world, is also one of the best in Asia, and the Dalian Shipyard was also put into use a year ago, and the first batch of ships produced was a torpedo cruiser with a tonnage of 2,400 tons designed for the Beiyang Naval Division.

Compared with two years ago, the current Beiyang Naval Division has gone up a notch.

The Beiyang Naval Division originally had five armored cruisers, Shichang, Bu Toad, Ruojing, Jiyuan and Qiaoli, and two ironclad battleships Zhenyuan Dingyuan.

Moreover, the Beiyang Naval Division also has a secret weapon, a submarine.

The submarine is a secret weapon, and the Dalian shipyard has been conducting experimental construction since the day it was founded, and the old man surnamed Chen lived up to Liu Jun's expectations and designed and built the submarine whale type last year.

The whale type, with a displacement of only more than 2,000 tons, can stay at a place of 10 meters below the water for five or six hours without leaving the water, and has an underwater speed of 7 knots and a surface speed of 13 times. It is equipped with four underwater torpedo tubes, two rounds per tube for each standard torpedo and one round for each spare torpedo.

After the whale was of a certain type, Liu Jun built three in one go, and now, these three submarines are moored in Lushun Military Port, but their mooring place is quite hidden, except for Li He and Cai Tinggan, the rest of the ship pipe belts do not know its existence.

In terms of business, in two years, Lushun has become the pearl of the Far East, is the most prosperous city in the entire Far East, now Lushun Brigade, the consortium of various countries, companies, in Lushun, have branches, and the Northeast, also through Liu Jun's measures, is now developing rapidly, 'two years, once the Northeast wilderness, has now become the granary of Liaodong, not only can be completely self-sufficient, but also exported to Europe.

In terms of military activities, in Harbin, Northeast China, the Northeast Ordnance Bureau has also been put into use, and now, the firearms of the Liaodong Army are mainly provided by the Lushun Ordnance Bureau and the Heilongjiang Ordnance Bureau, and even some firearms are also exported. This made Liu Jun's heart bloom with joy.

In terms of education, Liu Jun has never been ambiguous, from the military medical university, after the military academy was put into use, Liu Jun began to grasp the education of the northeast of Liaodong. After the propaganda of local governments, people who were prejudiced against female dolls going to school also began to send their children to school. Now in Liaodong, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools have sprung up. According to the statistics of the previous year, in Liaodong, Northeast, Joseon, and even Outer Mongolia, each city has a high school, a junior high school, and an elementary school.

In terms of education, Liu Jun later established Lushun Railway University, Lushun Normal College, Lushun Architecture College and Lushun Naval University.

Liu Jun, who is rich, has always been willing to spend money on education, and almost all of the teachers in these colleges are invited by Liu Jun for spending a lot of money in universities around the world.

In the imperial court, after the French conspiracy was exposed, the relationship between the imperial court and himself was to maintain the status quo, but Liu Jun knew that all of this was an illusion.

Since the imperial court began to build a new army two years ago, it has now established nearly 50,000 mental army, of which 20,000 are stationed near Shanhaiguan.

Understands people can see at a glance what the court is going to do.

At the military meeting a year ago, at the military meeting presided over by Ding Ruchang, a proposal was put forward to attack the imperial court, but this proposal was vetoed by Liu Jun, after all, it was not yet time.

Woowoo...... Woowoo...... The horn of a freighter came from the sea in the distance, Liu Jun put down the pen in his hand, stood up from his position, and through the window, he saw that more than a dozen freighters with the Yellow Dragon flag were slowly leaving the dock.

Maybe it's the reason why Liu Jun didn't remove the Yellow Dragon Flag, and now the Liaodong freighters will hang the Yellow Dragon Flag when they sail, but this doesn't affect anything, after all, all countries know that only Liaodong can go abroad to sell things with great fanfare, and in the Qing Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible.

Lowering the curtains, Liu Jun raised his hand to look at the time in his hand, it was already twelve o'clock, and it was time to go home for dinner.

Putting on the military hat, Liu Jun picked up the cloak on the hanger, and immediately walked out, before he entered the door, there was a loud noise inside, no need to look, it must be those little guys in his own family.

As soon as he entered the door, his two daughters rushed over at once, and grabbed Liu Jun with a snot on his face: "Dad, my brother beat us?" ”

These two daughters, one Ruojing, the other Ruojuan, Ruojuan is the baby left by Liu Jun in the massacre of the Chechen Khan Department in Outer Mongolia, and now almost three years have passed, and the little guy who knew how to cry at the beginning has now begun to run away and be coquettish.

Picking up the two daughters, Liu Jun smiled, and immediately lowered his face: "Your brother bullied you, go, I will avenge you." ”

"Yes." The two little guys smiled, kissed Liu Jun on the cheek, and before they could say a word, their eldest son picked up a toy water gun in his hand and rushed over, and when he saw Liu Jun, he immediately shouted like a ghost: "Mom, Dad is going to beat me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was not Wu Xiaoyan who came out, but Ruolin, who was born to him by his youngest son, Aixinjue Luo Ruojing. Seeing that the staggering little hand was calling for a hug, Liu Jun suddenly put down his two daughters and began to hold his little son in his arms.
