In Port Arthur, Rear Admiral Dubasov was dressed in a white naval uniform, and next to him stood a young man, who looked serious and silent, Dubasov looked at the young man and said: "Vasilyevich, don't worry, nothing will happen." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the one who is coming will make a bloody storm in China, but this is Manchuria, the place of our Pacific Fleet, and he will not do anything to us. ”

"General, it's all my fault, if I can restrain those soldiers that time, Petersburg will not be furious and replace you." The youth said.

Dubasov smiled faintly and said, "Child, this matter has nothing to do with you. The Navy has long been willing for me to transfer back to the Black Sea Fleet, and this time it is just a normal transfer. It's just the damned German and French journalists, who are completely dissatisfied with the empire's monopoly on Manchuria. ”

"That's right, kid, you're still young, and you have a great future ahead of you. This incident was just a coincidence, and I'm sure the 'butcher' gentleman understood it. Major General Volkov, head of administrative affairs at Port Arthur, said.

"Whew!" A whistle sounded, and the cruise ship that Witte was on slowly approached the port, and when the cruise ship was moored in place, the crew lowered the gangway, and Witt, dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the Guards, and Zagoev, who was wearing the uniform of an army lieutenant, walked down first, and it was Dubasov, Volkov and the young man, as well as the officers of the Imperial Russian Navy and Army at the Port of Arthur.

Witte smiled and faced the people who came to greet him, one of the three people who walked in front obviously surprised Witt, half a step behind the two major generals turned out to be a young man wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant in the navy, Witt didn't dig into it at the moment, and thought it was Dubasov's attendant, so he walked up to the two of them first and saluted: "Colonel of the Russian Imperial Guards Vasily. Borisovich. Witt greets the General! ”

Dubasov and Volkov returned the salute, and then Dubasov said: "Hello, Colonel Witte, I am Rear Admiral of the Russian Imperial Navy and Minister of Military Affairs of the Qing National Brigade Leased Area Dubasov, this is Rear Admiral of the Army and Chief of Administrative Affairs of the Brigade's Lend-Lease Territory Volkov. ”

Witte thought that after introducing Volkov, it would be over, and the next thing should be to communicate with the group of officers behind him, and then return to the residence to hand over the work, and then eat and drink, who knew that Dubasov continued to introduce: "The one behind me, although he is young and has just graduated from the naval academy, is the hero of the Qing Dagukou artillery battle - Alexander. Vasilyevich. Kolchak. ”

Werther was stunned after listening to the introduction, who? Kolchak? Hero of the First World War of the Russian Imperial Navy, and later a famous leader of White Russia? Witt looked at this historical celebrity who was about the same age as himself and sighed with emotion, so to speak, Kolchak's life in history was a life of fighting.

Kolchak's father, Vasily. Ivanovich. Kolchak was a well-known specialist in artillery engineering in the Imperial Russian Navy, rear admiral. Therefore, Kolchak was very eager for the sea from an early age. So the 13-year-old Kolchak was admitted to the Petersburg Petersburg Maritime Youth League, where he read voraciously and knew four foreign languages, including Chinese, which is obscure for foreigners.

At the age of 19, Kolchak graduated from the Naval School with second prizes. He could have won the first place, but he refused to accept it, because he thought that his classmate Filippov was better than him and deserved the title. After graduating, Kolchak was sent to the Pacific Fleet as a midshipman staff officer.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant Kolchak." Witte stepped forward and smiled and said, "I heard your name when I was in Shanghai, and when I was in Petersburg, I had the privilege of meeting your father, General Ivanovich. ”

Kolchak couldn't help but feel nervous when he faced the peer in front of him, so he cautiously replied: "Thank you, Colonel Werther, for the compliment." ”

"This is not a compliment! As far as I know, you are not only an excellent naval talent, but also fluent in four Chinese languages, including Chinese, which is not an easy task. Witte said and then said to Dubasov, who was accompanied by the smiling face: "Your Excellency, General, let's go to the station, I believe you have a lot to tell me." ”

When Dubasov heard this, he replied: "Of course, there are many affairs in Lushun now, please come here." ”

At present, the military and political department of the Russian brigade is the original Qing Beiyang Naval Division's office, that is, the Beiyang Naval Division's station in Lushun. Witte walked and looked, this is a moment to witness history, you must know that in the original history, in 1899, the Russians completely demolished this naval office, and then built the Russian Far East Governor's Palace, and later after the Japanese occupation here is the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters. At this time, the Beiyang Navy Office was completely Chinese-style, but some of the arrangements were not exactly the layout of the traditional Chinese yamen, which was based on some Western naval offices. The courtyard is covered with lush greenery, which shows that the designers and architects put into thinking about the many aspects that took into account when building this office.

Witt followed Dubasov and Volkov to a large conference room, but no one else came in except Werther, Dubasov, Volkov, and Kolchak, including Zagoev. In this conference room, Witt looked at the Chinese-style furniture and the view of the Yellow Sea outside the window, saying nothing. Seeing this, Dubasov said: "This is all characteristic of the Qing Dynasty, and the Petersburg side has decided to demolish it all and rebuild a building in our Russian style as the residence of the Far Eastern Governor's Palace. ”

"Oh, really?" "But I think it's a pretty good place, and it can be used as a sign of our conquest of the Qing Kingdom, what do you think, Second Lieutenant Kolchak?" ”

When Kolchak heard this, he didn't expect Witt to ask him, so he replied: "If you look at the traditional feng shui of the Qing people, both the environment and the location here are really good. In addition, it is surrounded by batteries and far from the port, so it is difficult for enemy troops to attack from the sea or from the road, and it is generally very good. ”

Witte smiled indifferently and then pulled out a chair and sat down and said: "My Majesty has sent me a telegram this time, asking me to thoroughly investigate this incident, to severely punish the parties involved, and to stop the mouths of those hateful reporters, do you have any suggestions?" General Dubasov, General Volkov? ”

"Mr. Witt, I know that Petersburg is very angry about this incident this time, but you must also be considerate of the emotions of those of us soldiers who are fighting far from their homeland." Dubasov replied.

Volkov continued: "Yes, Mr. Werther. I am afraid that you have not been a soldier, but it is inevitable that there will be some excesses when the soldiers are out on an expedition, and I think you will objectively report the situation here to Petersburg. ”

As soon as Witte heard this, he immediately understood that the navy and the army, as well as the Far East Governor's Office, had probably reached a consensus on this incident, and if he wanted to deal with it forcibly, he was afraid that he would offend not only the navy and the army, but also the Far East Governor, as well as countless officials up and down, and that his plan to be implemented in Manchuria would probably encounter twists and turns.

Witt couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really a tricky thing. ”
