Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy, flagship battleship "Northern Expedition".

Zhang Xiaoyue stood on the deck, listening to the sea breeze.

In the blink of an eye, it was already August, and in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, small frictions were constant, but frictions that were enough to cause war never appeared.

The Japanese seemed to have been given some orders, and they deliberately avoided them.

As Wang Hengyue said, the Japanese navy is far calmer than the army. This point still makes Zhang Xiaoyue more admirable.

The only thing that Zhang Xiaoyue doesn't understand is why Japan, a small country, has always been the supremacy of "Continental Armyism"? Could it be that once besieged, the army can be sent to use?

Or is it true that the head of the Japanese grows on the ass?

Reinforcements from both China and Japan continued to arrive, with the Diaoyu Islands as the center, and a major war was about to break out.

The Chinese government has issued a series of proclamations repeatedly affirming that China has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the surrounding waters, and that warships are only routinely patrolling their own waters and have no intention of provoking war. However, once it is maliciously attacked by the enemy, the Chinese ** ship will not hesitate to counterattack.

The Japanese government, on the other hand, repeatedly emphasized the treaty with the Manchus and warned China not to provoke a war, otherwise the Chinese navy would not be able to afford losses.

Under Sī, however, Gonbei Yamamoto, the powerful figure and real ruler of the Japanese Navy, has always warned Vice Admiral Kanji Kato, commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, who was confronting the Chinese fleet in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands, that while protecting the "Senkaku Islands," he must avoid giving the Chinese an excuse for war.

Yamamoto's decision was reached after many discussions with Japanese officials such as Saionji Konozo and Suzuki Kantaro.

In its current situation, Japan could not afford an all-out war with China. What Japan needs to do at present is to suppress the insurrections in various parts of Japan as soon as possible, safeguard Japan's interests in overseas colonies, and accumulate strength. Look for a chance for revenge.

To be honest, Gonbei Yamamoto is still very calm and correct in this regard.

The United States, Britain, France, and other countries have also repeatedly called on China and Japan to remain calm and sit down for talks on the Diaoyu Dao issue. At the same time, it was suggested that for the sake of peace in Asia, Japan should take the initiative to evacuate some warships from the Diaoyu Islands.

This partiality towards China is already very clear

Just when the two sides were in full swing, fighting openly and secretly. The appearance of one man changed all of this

Destroyer "Shanghai" of the Fujian fleet of the Chinese Navy.

Qi Chengcheng, the captain of the "Shanghai," is also a veteran admiral. His ancestor was Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general. He had passed through the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Beiyang before, and then became the admiral of the Republic of China, and in his own words, he could be regarded as a "veteran of the Three Dynasties".

As the first batch of warships to reinforce the Diaoyu Islands, Qi Chengcheng was still eager for war.

The current batch of captains of the Chinese Navy. There are many people who have experienced the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, but not many of them, and Qi Chengcheng is one of them.

No one is more hungry for revenge than he is.

They are all in their fifties, but their tempers are still abnormal. He couldn't wait to start a war with the Japanese ships immediately, and he was humiliated back then.

However, the commander of the fleet did not move

Beside him was his adjutant, a trainee officer on the "Shanghai", Niu Liancheng, who had just turned twenty-two years old.

The entire destroyer "Shanghai", no. It is the entire Chinese Navy that knows that this officer has a bit of a problem with his brain, and he is crazy all day long, doing some absurd things. It stands to reason that a person like this is completely unqualified to join the army, but now he has become a naval officer.

There are probably only three people in this world besides his deceased parents who are the best for him. One is his cousin Hei Tie, the other is President Wang Hengyue, and the other is Qi Chengcheng, the captain of the "Shanghai"! …,

Qi Chengcheng had two sons, but none of them inherited Lao Tzu's career. One became an engineer and the other became a doctor. Qi Chengcheng, who wanted to pass on his naval mantle, was so anxious to die. But there was nothing to be done.

At this time, the president sent Niu Liancheng to himself.

Although this man has some problems in his brain, he doesn't know how. From the first time he saw this young man, Qi Chengcheng liked it in his heart.

At first, he just liked it, but some words about the navy surprised Qi Chengcheng.

This man, who had never experienced any naval training, simply knew naval warfare inside and out. He seems to have a natural instinct to capture everything at sea.

The so-called genius, probably that's it.

Whenever Qi Chengcheng saw Niu Liancheng, he would always think of what the British instructor of the Beiyang Fleet said to himself:

"God closes one window, but will open another window for you"

"You say, when are we going to face off like this?" Qi Chengcheng muttered to himself.

At this time, Niu Liancheng was concentrating on nibbling an apple.

When Qi Chengcheng's words reached his ears, Niu Liancheng said without thinking about the apple in his hand while seriously gnawing on the apple in his hand: "Find an excuse to fight."

"Huh?" Qi Chengcheng didn't expect him to answer: "Why? ”

Niu Liancheng's mouth was stuffed with apples, and he said vaguely: "You see so many ships, crowded here. It must be a desire to fight. When we were young, in the village, the children in the east and west of the village often fought, but we always had to find an excuse, otherwise, we would be spanked by our parents when we went back, hehe"

With a smirk, Qi Chengcheng turned his gaze to the adjutant. The children in the east and west of the village often fight, but they always have to find an excuse, otherwise, they will be spanked by their parents when they go back

Yes, make excuses, the commander of the fleet is making excuses there.

Qi Chengcheng frowned and thought for a while: "But how to find this excuse?" ”

Niu Liancheng didn't want to blurt out: "We children fight, sometimes we can't find an excuse, so we fight first, and then my father and mother want to fight, so I say that they are the first to move"

Qi Chengcheng's eyes lit up

Niu Liancheng thinks differently from most people, his mind is simple and transparent, he doesn't have so many twists and turns in thinking about problems, and likes to use the simplest way to solve the most difficult things. If you are a completely normal person, you may overcomplicate the problem

"Mavericks." Qi Chengcheng said with a smile: "Give you the command of the 'Shanghai' ship, what will you do?" ”

"You're a fool to me." Niu Liancheng glanced at him: "When the time comes, you will push the responsibility on me, a fool, and you will be clean." ”

Qi Chengcheng choked there.

Niu Liancheng does have a problem with his brain, but he is definitely not a fool in the true sense. He just doesn't understand the world at all, and he will never learn it, and he likes to do things that are ridiculous and make others feel incredible.

"Uncle Qi" The entire "Shanghai" ship, the entire Chinese Navy, and Niu Liancheng are the only ones who call Qi Chengcheng like this: "That is the sea area where the Japanese fleet is on alert, and this is the sea area that we are on guard, if we let the 'Shanghai' break into the sea area guarded by the Japanese."

Qi Chengcheng's eyes lit up again, but then he shook his head again: "In case the 'Shanghai' ship is surrounded by them and shelled."

"Then there will be a pretext for war"

"Fuck." Qi Chengcheng scolded hatefully: "You kid is ruthless, you are so ruthless!" ”

Qi Chengcheng really hasn't thought of such a simple and direct way, but I'm afraid that no one in the entire Fujian fleet has thought of such a simple and direct way.

But this stupid boy brought it up! …,

"Uncle Qi, I've read the information about Kanji Kato that the Ministry of Intelligence gave you"

Qi Chengcheng's eyes widened: "You dare to peek at my top-secret information?" ”

"I was looking for something to eat, and I happened to see it, so I took a few looks." Niu Liancheng threw away the apple core in his hand, took out another apple and nibbled on it, as if he would never be able to eat enough:

"The intelligence said that Kanji Kato was a very powerful person, and he proposed a plan to centralize control artillery fire before the British, but his luck was not very good, he was wounded in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and he went to the post of the security guard, and did not participate in the famous Battle of Tsushima, and did not see the Russian ** ship sunk by the centralized artillery fire he invented

And this person has an extraordinary relationship with Prince Fushimi Miya's Sadachi in Japan, Kato Kanji He is a native of Fukui, Prince Fushimi Palace Sada'i has a piece of the palace in Fukui, Prince Fushimi Palace Sadaai is an army general, but he wants to take his eldest son Nòng to be a navy, and when he goes to the palace in the summer, he will find Kato Kanji, a naval soldier student who is close to Fukui Prefecture, to play with King Hirokoshi Koko, who is 14 years old at the time, and Kanji Kato is 19 years old. In the Russo-Japanese Battle of the Yellow Sea, Kofushimiya was the commander of the third detachment of the rear gun commander of the Mikasa. After Fushimi Palace was injured, he refused the treatment of the military doctor, and asked the military doctor to deal with the seriously wounded first, and it was the gunnery chief Kato Kanji Shaozo who came to hold him down, so the relationship between the two people is better than ordinary people imagine, and now Fushimi Palace Hiroko King has become a naval admiral, and no one dares to mess with Kato Kanji in the navy, this time it was also at the initiative of Kato Kanji, Fushimi Palace Hiroko King personally let the second fleet come here"

The intelligence work of China's Ministry of Intelligence is unimaginably meticulous.

Starting from the commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, to the life, habits, and preferences of the captains of each ship, there is a detailed and complete information that has been handed over to the captains of the Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

The naval battle was not moved, and intelligence came first. The decisive battle has not yet begun, and the opportunity is already in the hands of the Chinese Navy.

But Qi Chengcheng still hasn't figured out what is the inevitable relationship between Kato Kanji's temper experience and naval battles! (To be continued)
