Chapter 779: The Two Great Fleets Unite
When Li Hejiang telegraphed 9, Liu Jun picked up the teacup and asked, "How is it?" If the main force of the navy is all dispatched, will it be possible to land 250,000 horses and the supplies they need within a month? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For a month, such a huge transportation, Li He didn't dare to immediately open his mouth to pack the ticket, and after thinking about it, Li He began to ponder.
If the Beiyang Naval Division and the German fleet were operating together, it is estimated that there would be no big problem, but now, the German fleet has begun to transport supplies for Shikoku.
"I can't, it's okay to transport 200,000 horses in a month, but if you want to add transportation materials, I can't do it with the current strength of the Beiyang Naval Division."
got the accurate news, the reason why Liu Jun asked Li He to come over today was to wonder if the Beiyang Naval Division could complete it, and now, since he had received the news, Liu Jun didn't want to dwell on this issue, but asked directly: "How about I let the Fujian Naval Division help." “
Except for the three battleships of the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions, the rest of the warships are still patrolling in their respective bases.
"If there is a Fujian sailor to participate, then within a month, it can be completed." Li He knew that the strength of the Fujian Naval Division was not very bad now, and he had surpassed the original Beiyang Naval Division.
Then it was settled, and Liu Jun, who heard what Li He said, suddenly turned around and looked at Zheng Yiqian next to him: "Send a telegram with the order of the Marshal's Mansion and ask Yang Yonglin to transfer the largest number of sailors to Weihai to assemble." ”
"Understood." Zhong Lin had already gone out to convey the order, and now only Zheng Yiqian was by Liu Jun's side, so Zheng Yiqian, who received the order, turned around and walked out and began to give orders.
Fujian, Mawei. The sound of whistles from warships in the military port echoed over Mawei, and the Fujian Naval Division, which had been completely annihilated by the French in those years, had been restored again.
At the time of the Battle of Mawei, the total tonnage of the Fujian Navy Division was only more than 10,000 tons, and at that time, the Fujian Navy Division was the largest water division in the entire imperial court.
Abundant? After the Fuzhou Ship Administration was created, the task of the Ship Administration Bureau was to build warships for the Fujian Naval Division. Today, the Fujian Navy Division already had one battleship, four Yinsen-class armored cruisers, twenty or thirty torpedo cruisers, as well as other transports, dredgers. One hundred and thirty-five ships of all sizes, such as training ships.
Although there are a large number of Fujian sailors, on the whole, he cannot be compared with the Beiyang sailors, and even the Guangdong sailors are slightly stronger than the Fujian sailors.
Woowoo...... The sound of the whistle from the seaside made Yang Yonglin, who was at the headquarters, stand up from the map, although the Fujian Navy Division did not participate in this battle against Japan, but Yang Yonglin was still very concerned about this occupation.
"Commander, just talk to the commander-in-chief and the marshal, let us also get more internship opportunities, can't all these years, once they fight, it will be their Beiyang Naval Division." With a chatter, Cheng Tao, chief of staff of the Fujian Navy Division, once again spread his mouth like fighting spirit and began to chirp in front of Yang Yonglin.
For this chief of staff who had participated in the Battle of Mawei, Yang Yonglin was very respectful, and smiled slightly, Yang Yonglin returned to his position in front of the map and said: "Don't worry, if I think well, we will participate in the battle soon." ”
Bragging, that's what I said last time, but in the end, I got the army litigation materials for the attack on the Ryukyu Islands, which is not called a battle, and even, the Fujian Navy Division did not even tear off the artillery jacket from the end of the transportation.
"How do you know?" Cheng Tao stepped forward and asked with some disbelieving.
How do you know, Yang Yonglin pointed and said: "Now that the army has landed in Dabantu, Yunhe, just the Beiyang Naval Division fleet, you think you can transport such a huge combat force, this must need the help of the rest of the ships, and now, the closest to Lushun ........."
Needless to say, Cheng Tao is not a fool, after a little dialing, he will know.
"What do you mean......"
"Report, urgent telegram from the Admiralty of the Lushun Marshal's Mansion." didn't wait for Cheng Tao's words to finish. A navy soldier sent a telegram to Cheng Tao.
The telegram sent by the Marshal's Mansion and the Navy together, how big of a thing must this be, for such an order to appear, Yang Yonglin, who thought of this, stood up and looked at Cheng Tao directly.
"The commander has an order, let us immediately dispatch the largest number of warships and transport ships to Weihai."
When the opportunity came, Yang Yonglin, who heard this, knew that Liu Jun had already asked the Fujian Navy Division to participate in the battle.
"Well, I'm not wrong about what I said, the marshal has already agreed for us to participate in the battle." After speaking, Yang Yonglin saw Cheng Tao nodding, and immediately said again: "Order, immediately let the captains of each ship hold a meeting." ”
Lushun, today's light rain, although it has not eroded the ground, has blown away the high temperature for several days. And Liu Jun, who has been cursing this kind of weather today, finally got relaxed, and sat in front of the door wearing a short sleeve, looking at a few dark clouds in the distance in a daze.
It is estimated that after waiting for a few hours, it will rain again.
Every time at this time, he appeared, looking at Zhong Lin who was walking up the steps in front of the door, Liu Jun muttered, after all, it was time to eat.
"Xiang'er, I'm preparing a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Here comes the rice. Dropping this sentence, Liu Jun stood up directly, got up from the chair and returned to the house.
"Head, I'll have good news for you." Forget it, seeing Zhong Lin take out the telegram, Liu Jun waved his hand: "Is it a telegram from the Fujian Navy." ”
Immortals. You can think of it. Zhong Lin stretched out his finger.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not worth mentioning at all. During this time, almost all the orders issued by the regions themselves were out of the defensive state, and if there was any good news in the defensive state, it would be a ghost, so Liu Jun estimated that this must be a message sent by the Fujian Navy Division.
"That's right, head, Yang Yonglin telegraphed, he has dispatched two-thirds of the warships and merchant ships, and is on his way to Weihai in Lushun."
Yang Yonglin's personality, Liu Jun is still very satisfied, in the first battle of the Yellow Sea, Zhenyuan was not so much Lin Tai was in command, but he Yang Yonglin was in command, which is why Yang Yonglin was able to serve as the commander of the Fujian Naval Division, and Lin Taizeng could only be a captain plus a detachment commander.
Over the years, Lin Tai has never understood why Yang Yonglin became the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, and even Li He didn't understand, but Liu Jun didn't mention this reason to anyone. (To be continued.) )
