In Lushun, Liu Jun's house, in the study where there has never been a book, Liu Jun sat quietly on the chair, quietly looking at the falling snowflakes outside the window in a daze.

With a clear bang, Liu Jun raised his head, and saw Zheng Yiqian, who had changed into a military uniform, put a cup of things on the table, and he didn't need to look at it to know that this was definitely ginger soup.

"Come, drink this, you've been sitting here all night. Drink it and go rest. Zheng Yiqian handed the ginger soup to Liu Jun.

There is some spiciness, but a little sugar is added to it, although Liu Jun doesn't like this taste, but he doesn't want to be cold Zheng Yiqian's hard work, so he also gulps down a few gulps.

"I can't sleep, Li He has been out for a day, and there is no news so far, how can I sleep." Liu Jun, who put down the empty bowl, took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Yiqian standing in front of him lightly.

Since yesterday afternoon, after the Beiyang Naval Division was dispatched, although Liu Jun did not show anything on the surface, there was a trace of worry in his heart, because this time, it was an encounter, an encounter between the two most powerful fleets in the Far East.

If Li He and Jiang Chaoying who went north can converge, this is of course not to worry, but what Liu Jun is worried about is that if the two fleets do not converge, but let the combined fleet take the lead in discovering and attacking, it will be really too bad for himself.

"Don't worry, Li He is the commander of the navy, and Jiang Chaoying is also considered to be the elite of the Fujian naval division, in addition, he is a naval cadet who studied in the UK with Lin Taizeng, you have to believe them, just like you believed Li Rong at the beginning." didn't know how to comfort her, Zheng Yiqian could only move a chair and tell what happened to Li Rong at the beginning.

Zheng Yiqian said that she believed Li Rong, and it was a matter of letting Li Rong set off from Fuzhou and march into Zhejiang, at the beginning, in order to let Li Rong grow up, she insisted on overriding public opinion and letting Li Rong serve as the commander of the central battlefield, but she didn't even give any instructions, and gave all the rights to Li Rong. He believes in Li Rong, and at the same time he also believes in Wu Peifu beside Li Rong.

Well, nodding slightly, Liu Jun stood up, hearing this, he was really a little sleepy: "Okay, then I'll go and rest for a while, if there is any situation, you tell me immediately." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the study and went to his room.

Hey, looking at Liu Jun who was shaking when he walked, Zheng Yiqian's heart was a little sour, after all, so many things were all on Liu Jun's shoulders, making him too tired.

Looking up at the time, it was already about ten o'clock in the morning.

"It should be said that at this time, Li He should have found the fleet going north.

The surface of the East China Sea, although the majesty continues, but here, there is no imagined cold, today's weather is also good, cloudless, the sun shines on the sea, not emitting waves.

On the deck of the Zhennan, the commander of the northbound fleet this time, 52-year-old Jiang Chaoying stood quietly on the sea, looking at the warships following behind the battleship Zhennan, and his heart was extremely excited.

He never dreamed that he would be able to see the strength of the navy with his own eyes in his lifetime, let alone that he would be able to serve as the commander of the fleet.

"What do you want?" Hearing this voice, Jiang Chaoying turned his head, and he suddenly saw that his chief of staff, Cheng Biguang, who was originally the Beiyang Naval Division Guangbing, didn't know when he was standing behind him.

"Didn't think about anything." Jiang Chaoying shook his head slightly, he didn't want Cheng Biguang to recall the past together.

Hehe, Cheng Biguang didn't say anything, and when he walked in front of Jiang Chaoying, the two of them quietly looked at the sea in the distance, and from time to time, the two would pick up the binoculars and look at it.

"Yes, Jiang Chaoying, who had just turned the camera, let out a sigh and twisted the telescope again.

In the telescope, he saw that there was a long gray dragon on the sea in the distance, looking like that, it should be dark clouds, but the weather is so clear, even if there are dark clouds, it should be a mass, not a long dark cloud.

"Southeast, soot found." Before Jiang Chaoying could see it, the sailors on the watchtower shouted violently.

Southeast, no, at this time, the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division is in Lushun, so it will appear in the southeast direction, Jiang Chaoying thought of this, and raised his head suddenly. Only then did he realize that Cheng Biguang, like him, also showed a puzzled look.

"Seven wisps of soot were found." The warning sounded again from the lookout sailors.

"Discover the Japanese Combined Fleet."

Boom, like a thunderbolt, the two of them reacted at once, this is the enemy, it is the combined fleet.

"Sound the battle alarm, and the captains of the ships will immediately come here for a meeting." Jiang Chaoying, who reacted quickly, quickly gave an order.

The sea was only blown by the sea breeze just now, and a piercing siren suddenly sounded.

Boom, as soon as the sailors who were resting in their respective cabins heard this voice, they immediately put down everything in their hands and quickly ran to their respective posts. And quickly remove the gun jacket covering the gun. The ammunition man, on the other hand, carried the shells quickly and in an orderly manner.

After a while, the bulky naval guns began to turn, aiming the huge guns at the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Kaz sounded, and the shell was quickly loaded. Waiting for the shelling order.

In the conference room of the Zhennan, the captains of the ships who had already received the order had already arrived in the conference room by small boat.

Looking at the seven captains who were now sitting in the conference room, Jiang Chaoying took a deep breath: "Everyone, now that our army has encountered the combined fleet, from a formal point of view, the Japanese combined fleet must have come prepared, so we can't avoid this battle." ”

"Commander, you say how to fight, we will listen to your command."

Okay, what Jiang Chaoying wants is this voice, he knows better than anyone that the commander can't mobilize the army on the battlefield, how much impact it will have, and now this fleet is not only the Guangdong Naval Division, but also the Fujian Naval Division, this Fujian Naval Division is not under his jurisdiction, but under Yang Yonglin, but now Yang Yonglin has not come at all.

"Yes, Commander, you said that it is so big, we will prove that we will fight, and there is no other thing." The captains of the ships expressed their positions at a distance.

"Okay, each ship will immediately start the first plan." Speaking of this, Jiang Chaoying looked at the captains of the ships who stood up: "Execute it." ”

"Understood." The captains of the ships let out a loud shout, turned and walked out. Return to the respective warships and begin preparations.

On the Mikasa, Ito's heart, which had been unable to calm down, finally calmed down.

Half an hour ago, after two days of sailing, his fleet finally discovered the Fujian and Guangdong sailors who were heading north at a speed of ten knots.

"Your Excellency, Commander. Our ship is now fifteen nautical miles away from the enemy ship, whether to speed up or not. The first mate ran quickly.

"Tell the ships to go full speed and be sure to go to war at twelve o'clock." After Ito finished speaking, he held the railing in front of him with both hands.

Looking at the wisps of soot in the distance, the fist in Ito's hand clenched again, today, either you die or I live,

"Soot found in the Northwest."

"Soot found in the Northwest."

What the? When Ito Yuheng, who was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Fujian Navy Division and the Guangdong Navy Division, heard this signal, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in his heart.

Soot will appear in the northwest direction. This is simply impossible, but now, what has come to my ears is indeed real, and soot has been found in the northwest direction. The lookout doesn't deceive himself. Ito quickly ran to the bridge on the right, because it was here that he could see the northwest direction.

Sure enough, Ito, who ran to the bridge, clearly saw that in the northwest direction, a huge dark cloud was rushing in black.

It's bad, Ito Yuhiro has a bad premonition in his heart. The appearance of soot in this northwest direction is not a good thing.

"Discover the Beiyang Sailors."

Hearing this signal, Ito felt a thunderbolt explode in his ears above his head.
