Chapter 139: Shrinking the Navy

After understanding the situation about the same, in order to express his gratitude to Hudsonthom, he gave half more to the number of goods exported to Europe, and even sent out all the stocks of other goods in the warehouse.

A portion of John's supply in China and the United States is deducted here as a thank you to Hansoh for his kindness. When Hu Lin said it when he shook hands to send Hansen away, it surprised Hansen.

Although Hulin did not give a direct cash return, the goods were more valuable than cash, and it is unlikely that these goods will be sent from Pingshan for a foreseeable period of time in the future.

When the market is out of stock, the value attached to these commodities is not comparable to that of mere gold.

Think about it, when those nobles woke up, they found that the high-end toiletries they were used to were gone, but they learned that the merchants were out of stock. When I want to attend a drinking party, the high-end cosmetics are gone, so how can these noble ladies live, and a woman's face is life.

As soon as he thought of this, Hansen knew how much benefit Hu Lin would give him with the large amount of goods he gave at this time, and this reward was worth it!

In the end, Hansen hoped that Hu Lin would not target the German workers in Guangxi Province and other German nationals in the event that the matter could not be reversed, and that he would also provide information to Hu Lin, and that he would try his best to fight for the rights and interests of the soldiers in Pingshan in Germany in the future.

Hu Lin didn't think much about it, and directly agreed, the country is only here for interests, even if it does something to the ordinary Germans in Guangxi Province, in Mashan County, and Fangchenggang, it will not change the result, it will only make the Germans more verbal and retaliate, which will have an impact on future cooperation with Germany.

Moreover, the final outcome of this matter is still uncertain, although the strength of the coalition is the most powerful alliance between countries in the world, but Hulin has the weapons that modern people have gotten, I am afraid that they will be ・・・・・ by Hulin before they come."

After Han Lin left with the shipping warrant issued by Hu Lin, Hu Lin did not immediately gather the personnel at all levels in Pingshan, but just stayed quietly in the conference room for a while and calmed down.

Think about it for a while. If the coalition army wants to come from the capital, it will not take the land, and there is no such condition for land transportation, and the army will march. It is only by sea. If it is logged in from Guangzhou, it is fine, and it will not affect the Pingshan Navy.

If they drove directly to Fangchenggang, they would inevitably defeat Pingshan's navy first, although Pingshan's naval strength was almost none. They are all trained by novices, but it is not excluded that these foreigners are playing with the Pingshan Navy as cannon fodder.

More likely. Germany broke the treaty, directly took back the warship, and captured the Pingshan Navy, then Hu Linke would be passive.

In the absence of certainty of what offensive methods the coalition forces of various countries will take, the navies can only hide for a while. The Hirayama Navy now received only one Victoria Lewis-class cruiser and about twenty gunboats.

Originally, there would be warships coming over in the future, but the personnel of the Hirayama Navy could not be moved, and the Navy could not be trained in a day or two. Now stuck in the middle, the Navy is in some trouble, even if the Victoria Louis-class cruiser is saved. and twenty gunboats, but the arrival of subsequent warships may be delayed for too long.

This period of time must not be in accordance with the normal training method, it will definitely delay the training progress of the Pingshan Navy, but I don't know how much strength Zhao Wei and Ye Long's pirate members will have, and I can only hope that they will find more crew members to make up for the strength of this period of training loss, and don't delay too much.

"Guard, get ready, go to Fangchenggang to find Xiong Qing, and send him a telegram first."

"Okay. General, is it in a car or in a plane? ”

"Airplanes? Forget it and just drive. ”

The guards sensed that Hansen had come to talk about something important, and they knew it when they saw Hu Lin's gloomy face. That's why I made a special confirmation and added the airplane as a means of transportation.

The new helicopter is definitely not needed, this one cannot fly too far out of Pingshan for the time being, speeding up the exposure time, and the old Soviet propeller aircraft is known to many people, so there is no need to worry about the exposure.

But this kind of travel will give attention to those who are interested. Bring trouble to the back, anyway, there is no shortage of time, even if the coalition forces withdraw from the capital now and drive to Guangxi, it will take a lot of time, enough for Hu Lin to go to Fangchenggang, of course, this is just a false proposition.

The road from Pingshan to Fangchenggang has long been opened, so that the large German equipment stranded in Fangchenggang can be brought in, and the military machinery factory has been operating normally for a long time.

The wide cement road was built according to the direction of the modern middle road, and Hu Lin directly called the road distribution map of modern Guangxi at that time, which reduced the long survey time.

Only then was Hulin's convoy able to move quickly on the road, looking at the rapidly receding hills, and villagers were building new houses on both sides of the road.

Although Hulin is planned to have 12 lanes plus two lanes of green belt and livestock, which occupies most of the gentle terrain in the mountains, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the villagers along the way to build on the side of the avenue, dig up the small hill, and build houses.

Not to mention the gentle and open terrain, it almost directly becomes a small village, the scale of a town, and looking at the increase in the number of villagers along the way, you can also feel the speed of Guangxi's development.

Admire your masterpieces along the way, and soon arrive at Fangchenggang. Xiong Qing was already waiting on the road, accompanied by the leaders of both the military and the government, and after a few words, he didn't say much, and followed Xiong Qing to the Fangchenggang government building.

Xiong Qing and the others seemed to sense Hu Lin's abnormality, not to mention why they suddenly came to Fangchenggang, but they could feel something strange when they returned to the government building in a hurry after meeting.

The only room that could accommodate a large number of people was the conference room, and in the same way, everyone went to a large conference room without going anywhere else. "Why did the general think of coming to see my brute bear's territory, I didn't mess around, don't want to trouble me!"

"Brute Bear, you did a good job, I didn't come to trouble you, I have something to tell you." Hu Lin didn't say anything else, but said better, and then glanced at the officials who came to greet him.

"It's good that you're not here to trouble us, haha, if you have something, you can say it, there are trustworthy people here." Xiong Qing motioned to Hu Lin to talk about things here, and there was no need to let the others back away. Hu Lin took a look, and it was obvious that the people here were all old villagers on the other side of Pingshan, and most of them were familiar.

"After the meeting is dismissed later, I asked the Pingshan Navy to put the ship training site in the inner harbor, which can still barely be trained, and for the time being, don't go to sea far to train. In addition, the fort in Fangchenggang was repaired and maintained, and these were quickly spot-checked and emergency preparations were made. ”

Hulin gave the order directly. Xiong Qing and the others were shocked, what is the situation, is there going to be a war? Hu Lin didn't care what their expressions were, and announced it directly.

"General. What's the situation, our navy hasn't been trained yet, and it's going to start? ”

Xiong Qing asked a little wrongly, if it is really going to be blocked by foreign warships, it will be Pingshan's navy. To be exact, there is only one Victoria Lewis-class cruiser and twenty or so gunboats, how can it be beaten.

"It's pretty much it, it's likely that there will be one in the near future, and it's not an opponent, it's the eight-nation alliance in the capital."

Hu Lin did not deny it, and directly shook the opponent out.

"No, no..."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss"

"Looks like I'm going to have to write a suicide note..."

“・・・・・・・・・”

Some of the people were not sure, some were surprised that the war was coming too quickly, and some were pessimistic about the unfavorable war, but no one showed timidity, looking at Hu Lin's eyes. It's very gratifying.

"Don't worry, I'm not sure when they'll come, just take precautions." Seeing everyone's expressions, Hu Lin did not expect. Maintaining a calm expression, he comforted.

"General, don't we have a monthly plan? Can they still come over? After Xiong Qing was shocked, he came to his senses, not a few days ago, didn't Hu Lin talk to everyone in Pingshan to go to the capital to fight the coalition army, why suddenly the coalition army was coming over again, which made Xiong Qing's brain a little confused.

The others did not go to Hirayama for a meeting. I didn't know Hu Lin's plan to go to the capital in three months and take down the coalition army, so I was only surprised that I would face the coalition army head-on.

"Now the situation is that it is uncertain when they will act. and landing sites. Our plan has just been launched, and in case of an accident during this time, it would be very disadvantageous for us if they move ahead of schedule, or if they seize our navy in advance. ”

Hu Lin patiently explained that Li Ti's special division had both intelligence gathering work. But it was impossible to get information about these highly confidential things, so Hu Lin didn't think to ask Li Tie for possible relevant information.

The information obtained by Li Tie's special division was mainly used by the Pingshan government in general affairs, such as digging up some talents and preventing some people from sabotage.

Reveal your main worries and let Xiong Qing arrange them so that there will be no unnecessary situations.

"The Germans were also involved? So what should the Germans do with us here? ”

"Yes, if they dare to fight, don't think about bringing back the people in our hands. They are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! ”

“・・・・・・・・・・・”

As soon as the various officials in Fangchenggang spoke of the Germans, they quarreled, and it seemed that they were about to go out and attack them.

"Okay, don't say it so extremely, we are a normal organization, don't use such vulgar means. Before the coalition forces want to act, Germany should find a reason to evacuate the skilled workers here in advance, if it happens before the plan, it is better to let them evacuate, the coalition forces want to take advantage of Pingshan, it is not easy, be open-minded. ”

Hu Lin had to feel a headache for the straightforwardness of these peasants, if they really followed their ideas, the coalition forces came and arrested all the Germans under the control of the German Pingshan, then would there be a chance of cooperation with Germany in the future? War is only for profit, as long as the expression xiàn shows equal strength, we can still play happily together in the future.

"Xiong Qing, you have to take care of me here in Fangchenggang, don't make too much noise, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for beating your ass."

Hu Lin asked Xiong Qing half an order and half jokingly, believing that Xiong Qing's current ability can be done well, and Hu Lin doesn't need to be too careful. Otherwise, all kinds of books and audio-visual materials brought from modern times, Xiong Qing and they learned in vain.

As long as only one third of this information is achieved, it will be enough to deal with the current situation. And the situation has not developed to such an urgent point, and now it is only a precaution.

"Yes, general, I'm going to surround the harbor into an iron barrel, and keep a close look at the German ** officers on the warship to ensure that there will be no problems."

Xiong Qing Huo Ran got up, gave a standard military salute, and was ordered. It is rare to have such an opportunity, these months have been training every day, there are too few opportunities to send troops, fighting bandits in Guangxi or something, it is too unchallenging, so that everyone in the Pingshan Army can breathe a sigh of relief, and they can face the regular army with considerable strength.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone went to go about their own business, Fangchenggang quietly started running at high speed, the garrison canceled its vacation, and the first-level combat readiness was activated. The artillerymen who overhauled the batteries scouted every position in strict and meticulous detail, and the spare shells were transferred from the warehouses to the various batteries little by little.

The shipyard that is still under construction has also quietly increased security, and the guards at various intersections have also increased the corresponding personnel. In addition to guarding against the seizure of warships ordered by German Frank, it is also necessary to increase coastal patrols to prevent sneak attacks. (To be continued.) )
