Thinking that it seems that he can't think of anything for the time being, Ito Hirobumi reluctantly stood up from his position, he planned to go outside to get some air, maybe, outside, he could still find some answers.

Arthur Command. The Beiyang Naval Division had been away from Lushun for four days, and yesterday afternoon Liu Jun received a telegram from Li He from Fujian that the fleet had now arrived in Fujian and was ready to set sail in the evening. If you calculate according to the time, now the Beiyang Navy Division has arrived in Guangzhou and has joined the Guangdong Navy Division.

"Did Li He send a telegram?" Putting down the pen in his hand, Liu Jun, who was sitting in a chair, asked Zhong Lin, who was standing on the side.

"Not at the moment, but based on the time, it should be fast."

"Tell them that they will start the exercise immediately after resting for a day, and then the fleet will return immediately, except for the Bu Toad and the Flying Eagle and Flying Tiger, which remain in Guangdong."

Bu Toad Flying Eagle Flying Tiger stayed in Guangdong, for this order, Zhong Lin was puzzled, why was this, but seeing Liu Jun so resolute, he was embarrassed to ask, so after a few orders, he turned around and walked out.

Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, was also a little puzzled by this order, she put down the work in her hand, walked up to Liu Jun in a few steps and asked: "Why do you want these warships to stay in Guangdong and not return to Lushun, you must know that now our naval division is likely to start a war with the combined fleet." ”

Liu Jun didn't answer Zheng Yiqian's question, raised his head, Liu Jun looked at the time and smiled: "Don't ask, go buy something, let's go see the old man, and by the way, I'll surprise him." ”

Cut, as soon as she heard that Liu Jun was buying a pass, Zheng Yiqian snorted coldly and walked out of the door and went to buy something on the street.

In fact, Li Hongzhang's family lacked nothing, and Liu Jun just bought a little fruit After getting off work, Liu Jun came straight to Li Hongzhang's mansion accompanied by Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin.

As soon as he heard that Liu Jun was coming, Li Hongzhang specially asked the kitchen to prepare a few specialty dishes, and asked the housekeeper to go outside to buy some beer, Li Hongzhang couldn't drink the same thing as water, but Liu Jun could drink it and loved it.

The food was good, and after eating a few bites, Liu Jun poked Zheng Yiqian, who was sitting next to him: "Didn't you ask me why I stayed in Guangdong with three warships, now I can tell you." ”

The three warships stayed in Guangdong, and Li Hongzhang, who was holding a wine glass, looked at Liu Jun suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang was puzzled, Liu Jun drank the beer in the wine glass in one gulp, and then told the people present his purpose.

These three warships are only temporarily anchored in Guangdong, and their real destination is Hawaii. That is to say, when the time comes, when the Intelligence Bureau and the Kingdom of Hawaii negotiate and sign an agreement, at that time, these three warships will go to Hawaii together with the two Pingyuan Jiyuan of the Guangdong Naval Division to form a new naval division, that is, the Pacific Naval Division.

Pacific Marine? Everyone present was stunned on the spot, and among them, the most obvious was Li Hongzhang, who forgot to put the wine in his hand on the table.

In the formation of a naval division, in this way, at that time, Liaodong will not be three fleets, but four.

As for the formation of the Pacific Naval Division, which was later the Pacific Fleet, Liu Jun actually had a plan, but during this period of time, because of the Japanese problem, he could only put this matter aside and wait for the time to say.

Now that Hawaii has agreed to get a piece of land in Hawaii, he must bring the fleet over before Hawaii has not repented, and once the fleet passes, then Hawaii will regret it, and Liu Jun will mercilessly annex the Hawaiian Kingdom and occupy it.

Originally, in history, at this time, Hawaii had been annexed by the United States, but at this time, because Liu Jun had been making small moves in Hawaii since he gained a foothold in Liaodong, the United States could not annex it for a long time, and the year before last, that is, in 1899, the United States was forced to leave Hawaii and restore the Kingdom of Hawaii.

He believes that he has been talking with Hawaii for nearly half a year without any progress, and now he has suddenly agreed, it must be because of the southward movement of the fleet.

"Okay, I'm finally able to establish the sailor overseas." Li Hongzhang nodded excitedly, raised the wine glass in his hand and said excitedly after shooting the people seated: "Come, the old man is happy today, and he will not return home if he is not drunk." ”

Although Li Hongzhang was happy, Liu Jun knew his body, so he only drank a few glasses in small amounts, and then got up to say goodbye. Because it was a private person, Liu Jun did not bring guards, so the three of them took advantage of the moonlight alone and walked on the road.

"You form the Pacific Naval Division, so who will be the commander?" Zheng Yiqian thought for a moment and asked the most serious question.

Who to let be in charge, Liu Jun once thought about this person, this person is Jiang Chaoying, who is now the deputy commander of the Fujian Navy Division.

Jiang Chaoying, who was one of the young children in the UK who studied with Lin Taizeng, his grades were not under Lin Taizeng and others, however, I don't know how the minister in Britain got it at that time, and he didn't let Jiang Chaoying enter the top seven, and at that time, the imperial court was the policy of first north and then south to develop the navy, so Li Hongzhang transferred the top seven to the Beiyang Naval Division, so Jiang Chaoying This kind of talent can only play soy sauce in the Fujian Naval Division. After the Battle of Mawei. Jiang Chaoying carried the black cauldron for Zhang Cheng and was idle until the Fujian Navy Division returned to Liu Jun, in view of the rarity of talents, Liu Jun immediately promoted him to the deputy commander of the Navy Division to assist Yang Yonglin and manage the Fujian Navy Division.

As soon as she heard that it was Jiang Chaoying, Zheng Yiqian nodded, for Jiang Chaoying, her own secret supervision bureau has his files, and he is a very principled person, so Zheng Yiqian can't say anything about Liu Jun's appointment, so she can only nod and follow behind Liu Jun.

In Fujian, the scorching sun shines on the Fujian Navy Division Headquarters in Fuzhou.

In the office, Yang Yonglin, the commander of the naval division, looked at Jiang Chaoying in front of him, smiled slightly, took out a telegram from his drawer, handed it over, and said: "We have been partners for so many years, but unfortunately you are about to leave me." ”

Leaving, Jiang Chaoying was immediately stunned on the spot, he remembered that he had never made any mistakes, how could he say to leave.

In a panic, Jiang Chaoying opened the telegram and saw that it was clearly written.

Jiang Chaoying was immediately removed from his post as deputy commander of the Fujian Naval Division, and he must arrive at the Guangdong Naval Division within three days to stand by.

What does that mean? Jiang Chaoying looked at this unknown telegram suspiciously, then raised his head to look at Yang Yonglin, hoping that he could give him some answers.
