Chapter 149: The Arrival of the Fleet (Part II)

Journalists from all over the world in the distance are frantically taking pictures! This is a historic moment! The largest arms deal in history! People all over the world are paying close attention to this matter! The reporters in China are all excited with a look of pride! Hold one's head high!

As the giant ships approached the dock, the dense crowd erupted in a sky-shaking shout! Thirty years later, we finally have a Grand Fleet again! In this era when sea power determines destiny, the fleet is the state!

Countless people shouted frantically, and tears flowed uncontrollably. For many years, I have only seen foreigners' warships rampant in the rivers, lakes and seas of my country! Today, I finally saw my own grand fleet again!

The crazy shouts of countless people soared into the sky! Spread far away, and the fire-like enthusiasm could be felt even by Kenji Tohihara, who was several kilometers away, as if he was in a furnace!

"This scene is really terrifying! Is the dragon really going to wake up? "Standing on the roof of the hotel's seven-story building, I looked at the huge ships lined up in the distance, towering like a mountain. Kenji Dohihara's eyes gradually became blurred, and his eyes were stunned!

"Alas~~~" He sighed, he had already vaguely seen the terrifying scene of these giant ships and the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy shelling each other in the near future! The sound of artillery is rumbling, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the fire is noisy!

Kenji Dohihara is a rare visionary general in the Japanese army! He deeply understands that the only purpose of a strong navy is to attack! A strange thing like the Beiyang Fleet may not be able to meet one in a hundred years!

The Imperial Navy has already encountered it once, and there can't be a second time! Who is Gao Yang going to attack? In the Far East, the only thing worth fighting for is the Imperial Navy! When the time comes, will the empire still be blessed by Amaterasu as it was thirty years ago?

In the battle of Dadonggou, the Japanese Navy was really lucky to win! Whether it is the quality of officers and men, the quality of warships, or the hit rate of artillery bombardment, the Beiyang Naval Division has the advantage! However, the Japanese Navy won unsinkable! Except for luck. There's really nothing more to say.

This time, the situation was reversed. Will the all-out Imperial Navy be able to defeat its old enemy again?

"Navy~" Kenji Dohihara shook his head slightly. Since the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Imperial Navy has been put on vacation. Combat readiness is lax, training is excessive! The officers all live in bungalows, drive good cars, and a few of them are able to live on a warship all the time like their predecessors!

The navy is well paid, and now it is peacetime, and many people are trying to find ways to drill into the navy. The morale of the army and combat readiness training have fallen to a low point!

How similar is the situation of the Imperial Navy now to the Beiyang Fleet thirty years ago! How many people in the current Imperial Navy can sacrifice their lives for the country like the predecessors of Dadonggou and Tsushima?

Looking at the noisy dock in the distance, a vigorous opponent is vigorously fighting and preparing to rise!

"Can you win?" Kenji Dohihara muttered to himself with a confused gaze. "No matter what. Let's do our own thing. I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to seize power as soon as possible and lead the Japanese Empire back on the right path! ”

Seven battleships, one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers, forty-one destroyers! And not just these ships. Not far behind this fleet there was a small fleet following.

They are the coastal defense fleet of Guangdong Province to the south! Through the mediation and communication of Admiral Sa, the admiral of the navy, when the Grand Fleet passed through the sea off the coast of Guangdong Province. This fleet of maritime surveillance suddenly changed its flag. Power up to announce that the entire fleet has joined Gaoyang!

Gao Yang is not uncommon with their broken ships, what Gao Yang needs is more than a thousand naval officers and sailors on this fleet! The boat was bought, but there were not enough people to drive it. Gao Yang can only solve it in the simplest way, spend money to buy it!

There is no one in this country who can compete with Gao Yang for wealth! The high-ranking officers of the Guangdong Provincial Coastal Defense Fleet were completely defeated in the face of Gaoyang's silver bullet offensive! Gao Yang promised to arrange some fictitious positions for them that were very famous but had no rights.

The senior officers of the Guangdong Navy, who had received a large sum of money, did not care about any identity issues, so they regarded the fleet as selling it for a good price.

Previously, Duan Zheng had issued a new naval appointment certificate according to Gao Yang's wishes. Gao Yang was appointed commander-in-chief of the Navy and was awarded the rank of admiral!

General Du was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy and was awarded the rank of Admiral of the First Class! General Lin was appointed commander of the Pacific Fleet and was awarded the rank of admiral! Chen Jiliang was appointed deputy commander of the fleet and concurrently captain of the flagship Dingyuan. Awarded the rank of Admiral!

Gao Yang left the position of chief of staff of the fleet to General Shen Honglie, who was in operation in Yangdong. With the arrival of the Grand Fleet, General Shen's attitude had begun to gradually shift to agree.

Gao Yang is not in a hurry, and now he is waiting for Guo Guizi to rebel and bring General Shen and the thousands of naval officers and men under his command into his command!

As for another famous admiral, General Chen Shaokuan, he was appointed as the captain of the Zhiyuan aircraft carrier with the rank of vice admiral! The captains of the rest of the battleships were with the rank of rear admiral!

Now these admirals are excitedly testing their warships! Every navy person has a big ship dream in their hearts, and today is the moment for them to realize their dream!

In the afternoon, the sun was full of enthusiasm in the sky, and it was past lunchtime, but no one left the scene!

Everyone present had an excited expression, and people kept rushing towards the dock. Traffic restrictions have been started in all directions.

Gao Yang returned to the viewing platform and sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the navy's inspection report. Now that the viewing platform was empty, almost everyone rushed to the side of the warship to take pictures and be interviewed by reporters.

The expressions and rhetoric of many bigwigs are as if they paid for this fleet. Those who are happy have a look of relief, and those who are jealous have gritted their teeth and smiled. Gao Yang sat quietly on the viewing platform and looked at the world in front of him.

Almost all reporters wanted to interview Gao Yang, but he rejected all of them.

Just when Gao Yang was leaning back in his chair and feeling a little drowsy, Gao Leng came to his side and whispered, "Sir, there is a Mr. Xu who wants to see you." ”

"Huh? Mr. Xu? Gao Yang raised his head slightly and looked at the entrance of the viewing platform, where a young man wearing glasses and a cyan robe was looking at him with joy on his face. Next to the man stood a graceful cheongsam woman.

"Is that him?" Gao Yang recognized him at a glance, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Squinting his eyes slightly, he nodded slightly to the man and motioned for him to step forward.

Mr. Xu strode over to Gao Yang's side and stretched out his hands to hold Gao Yang's hand tightly. With an excited face, he said, "General! I thank you! Today is the best day I've ever had! As he spoke, he kept shaking Gao Yang's arm.

Gao Yang had a shallow smile on his face, pulled out his hand without a trace, and said with a chuckle, "Mr. Xu, I also appreciate your talent, that song is really good!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mr. Xu's reaction, he also read two sentences: "I wave my sleeves and don't take away a cloud." It's so well written! ”

"Huh?" The expression on Mr. Xu's face froze, and he looked entangled. He bowed his head slightly, thinking about something. Then. Mr. Xu's female companion slowly walked to the side, and said with a chuckle on her face, "General, it seems that Sen has not written this poem?" ”

"Farewell to Cambridge was created on November 6, 1928 and published on December 10 of the same year! You learned Chinese from your math teacher, right? Origin sounded in Gao Yang's mind with a mocking voice.

"I'll rub!" Gao Yang opened his mouth speechlessly, and his face instantly darkened. However, thinking that there was someone in front of him, he hurriedly reached out and touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

"Ahem!" Gao Yang coughed and said to Mr. Xu, who was still frowning and thinking hard, "That." What is Mr. Xu looking for me? ”

"Smack!" Mr. Xu slapped his palms and his face flushed. With an excited face, he said: "General Gao's poem is really meaningful!" It makes people feel like they touch their souls! It's amazing! Can the general tell me the whole poem? After speaking, he stared at Gao Yang with a look of hope!

"I felt Mr. Xu's burning gaze. Gao Yang was about to die of embarrassment, and his face was slightly red!

He is not a liberal arts student, although he knows the very famous poem of Lu Dao, but in addition to the fact that Zhi Lu Dao was written by Mr. Xu, how can he know when he wrote it?

I wanted to steal it, but I stole other people's works in front of the original author, and Gao Yang's really couldn't save face.

No way. He could only talk about it left and right, and said, "That, Mr. Xu, I still have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you." We'll talk about it when we have a chance in the future. Let's talk! After Gao Yang finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the Iron Duke.

Mr. Xu looked at Gao Yang's back and sincerely shouted loudly, "General Gao!" Be sure to let me know when you're free! I'll be visiting you! ”

Gao Yang's body was stunned, his steps swayed slightly, and then he accelerated his pace and fled without looking back. What a shame!

"Origin, don't speak!" Walking briskly onto the Iron Duke, Gao Yang said in a deep voice with a dark face. He didn't want to hear the poisonous tongue of the origin again.

Sir Ma Ke hurriedly greeted Gao Yang and said with a smile, "General Gao, I am about to invite you." It's pretty much the same, how about we go to the conference room and talk about it? ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded lightly and responded.

In the luxurious officer's conference room of the Iron Duke, the admirals of the two countries sat opposite each other. Seeing Gao Yang walk in, the generals all stood up and saluted! In this room, Gao Yang's military rank is the highest!

Gao Yang raised his hand and returned a military salute, walked to his main seat and sat down. After Gao Yang sat down, the generals took their seats.

After Sir Ma Ke, who was sitting opposite Gao Yang, coughed, he looked at Gao Yang and said with a smile, "General Gao, now the inspection has been completed." Can we discuss the final payment of the contract? ”

Gao Yang pursed the corners of his mouth lightly and turned his head to look at his deputy commander. General Du nodded slightly to him and reported, "The acceptance personnel of each ship have reported that everything is normal. ”

Gao Yang curled the corners of his mouth, leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette and said with a chuckle, "I am very satisfied with this business." (To be continued......)
