"It's a circle, it's a circle. 5 English "to the circle, to the circle." £5, Earl Rudolph you lose me £5. And you, Colonel House, twelve pounds, Major Horty, thirty-two pounds, ha, Mr. Major, again you have lost me the most in this lap, thank you very much for your generosity, haha. Lieutenant Colonel Earmelee, give you some work, help me figure out how much they should give? Collect the money, collect the money. ”

"Just multiply it by two, ha, Gao, or I have vision, you see, Mr. Feng and Mr. Hong's faces are green, today they have lost a lot, we have made a fortune." High, I'll see, oh! So far today we have won over £400. Haha, Mr. Major, if this continues, it is estimated that after you arrive in the Great Qing Kingdom, you will even lose your pants. Hey. Lieutenant Colonel Earmelee's laughing beard was upturned, these days Gao Hongsheng and his family played Chinese mahjong, but they won a lot.

Count Rudolph helplessly looked at the mahjong table on his side of the mahjong tiles, already two bars, if the winning cards directly twice, unfortunately, this damn high shopkeeper is a poor Hu will ruin his hand of good cards, regretfully looked, reached out to buckle the mahjong cards with both hands, and then pushed into the pile of cards on the table, sighed and said: "Gao, you ruined my good hand." With that, he counted out ten pounds from the wallet in the corner of the table and threw it into the pile of money in the middle of the mahjong table.

"Hey! The high shopkeeper, can't he not be nonsense? Look at what I've got in my hand? Colonel House, how can you fire a gun! You can't fire a cannon when you dismantle it! Now he won again. Horty regretfully threw the treasure card in his hand into the card pile, leaned back on the back of the chair, took out a wallet from his body, looked at a few thin banknotes inside, sighed and turned his head to Feng Laosi behind the chair and said: "I'm running out of money, Feng, can you lend me some?" ”

"Hey! Forget it, I'll play this game, thirty-six pounds, Horty, your luck is good, but it's a pity that your luck is too bad, why don't you change me to play? Feng Laosi counted out sixty-four pounds and threw it on the table and said to Horty.

Horty's luck is quite good, but it is not a card, often early on the listen, is not seen his Hu one, and then after two or three rounds of listening to the card to give people a sound, very depressed, but with his family Feng Lao Si is the other extreme, even the draw is difficult, these days the highest record is six rounds of a card has not been Hu, two bad luck guys get together, as a result of the two people these days have lost a lot.

"You, hey! Forget it, we could lose more in your place. Horty whispered with a sad face.

"Horty. No way! Look at my cards. Colonel House finished speaking and pushed the cards in his hand to the table, House had already listened, the one that played was a thirteen unreliable card, he pinched it for a long time, and finally played it when he drew the cards, but he didn't expect Gao Hongsheng to play that one, and he couldn't help it, unless he didn't listen to the cards.

"No way, these two guys are so lucky these days, they can play any card, it's just hell, forget it. I'll get out. Hong Jincai grumbled as he counted out the pounds and threw them into the pile of money.

The boring sea life always has to live, Gao Hongsheng, who has nothing to do, gathered a group of high-ranking officials to play mahjong to kill time, in this nearly a month and a half, they have been playing mahjong from cards to China, but it is a pity that these guys are a group of poor ghosts, and it cannot be said that they are poor ghosts, but they are poor ghosts compared to Gao Hongsheng, and the result is that their gambling funds are lent to them by him, but none of the people in this circle are simple characters.

There were three commanders-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian navy, the first of whom was Count Rudolf Montekukoli, now captain of the battleship Vienna and fleet commander of this small fleet.

The second was Baron Anton von Haus, Rudolf's successor and commander-in-chief of the German-Austrian-Italian combined fleet of three Mediterranean countries before World War I, in an emergency against the French navy. He is currently the captain of the cruiser Elizabeth, which accompanied him.

The third admiral was Horti Miklos, the last commander of the Austro-Hungarian navy. He was only a small major, assigned to be in charge of four cargo ships, and one of his most famous jokes was that for 24 years, Hungary was a kingdom without a king, ruled by an admiral, and the country had no fleet and no coastline. The man in question is Horthy, an admiral who only recognized himself as an admiral, and Hungary was under his rule from 1920 to 1944.

And Bohm-Earmelee is a very famous person, and is now the lieutenant colonel of the 13th Lancer Regiment. But this guy ended up being a field marshal of two countries, the field marshal of Austria-Hungary before World War I, and the field marshal of Germany during World War II. A soldier who has climbed up from the grassroots level and has rich experience as a staff officer.

He enlisted in the army in 1875, and then entered the Vienna War College to receive further study in staff business, and then transferred to the 21st Infantry Brigade as a staff officer, and then for 10 years he has been a staff officer in the brigades and general staff at the grassroots level, accumulating rich military knowledge and staff experience, in 1895, he served as the lieutenant colonel of the 13th Lancer Regiment, and was supposed to be the commander of the 16th Cavalry Brigade, but was cut off by Gao Hongsheng, so that Ferdinand used some means to dig up the marshal of the two countries from the army, Let him lead the team to help Gao Hongsheng form a staff team.

Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Earmelee put away all the money on the table, Gao Hongsheng pushed the mahjong tiles in front of him into the card pile, and said to Hong Jincai: "Okay, don't play, the third brother will help put away the cards, and it will be two days away from the Philippines, let's talk about business." ”

Hong Jincai heard Gao Hongsheng say this, quickly stood up, walked to the table and put away the mahjong cloth in his pocket, and didn't care about the sighs of regret and grief of other people at the table, he threw the mahjong on Gao Hongsheng's bed with his own carry, and then said to everyone: "What do you drink?" Coffee or tea. ”

Count Ruerdorf glanced at Gao Hongsheng, and when he saw that he was nodding at him, he straightened his body, sat upright on the chair, and said to Hong Jincai: "Trouble, give me a cup of coffee, just the instant one you said." ”

House looked at Count Ruerdorf and Gao Hongsheng suspiciously, and when he saw that they were serious, he also straightened his body and said, "Coffee, thank you." ”

Horty smiled and said, "Black tea, add some sugar." ”

And Lieutenant Colonel Ulmerley moved the chair from behind Gao Hongsheng to his side, and said without raising his head while carrying the chair: "Black tea, add sugar and lemon." ”

At this time, Feng Laosi stood up, looked at Gao Hongsheng, saw that he nodded at himself, gestured with his chin, turned around and quickly took out a map scroll from the filing cabinet on the side, walked back to the mahjong table, spread out the map in his hand and spread it on the mahjong table, and then took a few mahjong tiles from the bed to press the four corners of the map, and then moved his chair to the mahjong table and sat down, looking at the map of the Philippines in front of him.

It's time for a showdown, except for Count Ruerdorf knowing the purpose of the whole plan, Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai heard a few words from Gao Hongsheng, but they also knew that they were going to the Philippines to block the Americans, and they didn't know the specific plan of action, and now it's time to reveal it.

Gao Hongsheng, on the other hand, looked at the three future naval commanders and a chief of general staff, thinking in his heart that these three professionals could be better than his own mallet, and hoped that they could come up with a good plan, if only they could pit the US Far East Fleet in Luzon, so that maybe the entire Philippines would be their own. (I'm too tired to make up the number of words during the holidays.) ）
