Chapter 592 The Admiral's Anger

promising;

There is no future;

It doesn't make any sense at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rachel felt that her husband still failed to recognize Qin Lang's essence: he longed for war not because it would help China become better or worse, he didn't care about the problem at all, just as he didn't care about the lives of refugees who were caught in the war and struggling on the death line, whether they were Chinese, Americans, or some other country - their value only became statistics, if anyone counted them - Qin Lang was an arms dealer and had always been competent, and it was his nature to create war, chaos and death, That's the only thing that matters.

And this also means that the plan that Yi Shui has worked so hard to win is likely to be just smoke used to deceive him and his secret friends, and Qin Lang still has prepared a grand script full of flames and blood, and is implementing it.

It's his style.

Rachel didn't know if Yi Shui had thought of, or could think of, this terrifying and bloody future, but she wasn't prepared to bring it up: as another fully competent arms dealer from UMBRELLA Corporation, Qin Lang's kind, she fully endorsed his covert plans.

If he really had a plan.

Nothing is absolute until the results appear, and changes can happen at any time.

Rachel knew she couldn't jump to conclusions and would have to wait sometime, months, or even years. No matter what Qin Lang's plans were, for the time being, they wouldn't start implementing them yet—according to Qin Lang's favorite statement, the time wasn't ripe yet. The show has just begun, and the main characters have not yet all appeared, and it is still far from the real show.

Involuntarily, Rachel became very interested in what was going to happen.

She imagined, a little distracted.

Noticing her expression, Yi Shui sighed heavily. He could almost guess what she was thinking, not accurately, but very close: although she was married to a Chinese and could speak Chinese fluently, she still had no feelings for China. There are only three types of events that will make her interested in what is happening in China, interesting, profitable, and interesting and profitable. Overthrowing a rotten regime, rooting out all rivals, and establishing a new regime of its own propriety clearly falls into the last category.

He shook his head slowly, put away the plan Qin Lang had made, and put it back in the safe.

When he returned to his place, Rachel also returned to the real world.

"There's one more piece of news, maybe good news." "According to Pentagon estimates, the Japanese Navy will come into contact with the Russian expeditionary fleet within the next seventy-two hours," she said. ”

"You mean, Fleet Showdown?" Yi Shui's spirit suddenly lifted up, and the melancholy and frustration that had been bothering him were swept away.

"That's right." She asserted in the affirmative, nodding her head to reinforce her tone.

That's really good news. Yi Shui thought. The decisive battle between the Japanese and the Russians, the largest dog-eat-dog battle at sea in the Far East, was worth looking forward to, and a little bet was not too much to bet on - the gamble was on how many Russian ships the Japanese would sink and capture, and at what cost.

However, seventy-two hours seems like a long time......

"Can't the Pentagon provide a more precise forecast?" He asked.

"Honey, you know, I don't know much about war." Rachel deliberately squeezed out a helpless expression. "What I do know is that the Pentagon tacticians are not yet sure where the Japanese will intercept the Russians, the Formosa or Tsushima, because no one knows which route the Russians will choose and where the Japanese will find them. They can only be sure of one thing, the route of the Russians ends in Vladivostok, not Lushun. ”

"No one will send a fleet to Lushun to die at this time. However, if the Russians were able to coordinate the actions of the expeditionary fleet and the First Pacific Fleet, then they would have ordered Arthur's fleet to break through. Yi Shui guessed that first the plans of the Russian Navy, and then the Japanese, "The Japanese should be able to anticipate this, and if their commanders are crazy enough, they will wait until the Russian fleets converge before destroying them, so that the naval battle will be ...... in the Tsushima Strait"

"Who knows." Rachel shrugged his shoulders in a pretentious manner, "However, the commander of the Japanese Navy, it is said that Admiral Togo likes to put his hand into the muzzle of the ship's guns to check for dust, do you think he is crazy enough?" ”

Her words made Yi Shui stunned, and it took a while to react. The commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was called Heihachiro Togo, an admiral, this was known to him, but the commander's unique hobby...... Stick your hand into the muzzle of a ship's gun to check for dust, and what's going on?

"Where did you hear that?" He asked.

"In the newspaper." A strange smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Actually, though, we've heard it for a long time. ”

"What?"

"That's Qin Lang's joke."

Yi Shui tilted his head and thought for a few minutes, but he still couldn't remember when Qin Lang had told such a joke. Still, since Rachel claimed he had spoken, he certainly did. That being the case, the joke in the newspapers is by no means without a reason - as to what the reason is, that is a question to be examined.

But right now, Yishui doesn't plan to conduct research. There was already a more interesting question that caught his attention: what would Heihachiro Togo think of that joke?

He is the protagonist of the story, and his opinion is very important.

Yi Shui wanted to know.

※※※

Heihachiro Togo felt that he was about to get angry.

Almost overnight, he received two new nicknames, "Togo Touchoro," and "Togo Touchoro," and the officers of the Navy were talking about them privately -- and in the Army, the officers simply engaged in an open discussion -- another masterpiece of the rice columnist who had plagued the Army. This guy published a completely fabricated article in the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, describing how he reached the conclusion that the Qing Navy was vulnerable through the dust stained by his gloves when he put his hand into the 12-inch guns of the Qing Navy's "Dingyuan" ironclad ship, and through the dust stained by his gloves, the article used some headache-inducing sentences.

Admiral Togo said......"

"Admiral Togo said to me......"

"Admiral Togo taught us ......"

That's what the hateful writer wrote, and he may have thought it was a compliment, but the effect was the opposite—Heihachiro Togo knew very well that in the Combined Fleet he could speak to naval officers in a disciplined tone, but he was not qualified to use that tone in an article that could be seen by the inhabitants of the Tokyo area.

After all, the veterans of the Navy are still alive, and as the commander of the Combined Fleet, he has not yet achieved a single record worth mentioning.

He doesn't have that much prestige and prestige yet.

And many people know that before the Sino-Japanese War, he never had the opportunity to board a Qing warship, let alone put his hand into the muzzle of their naval guns to check for dust inside.

But that was still not the worst problem, and the real trouble was that now was no time to publish that kind of article - although it was necessary to boost morale, the performance of the Combined Fleet had been lackluster since the beginning of the war, and the Lucia Navy attack ships were still infested off the coast of Japan, and much anger had been squeezed in the hearts of the army and the people, and at such a time the Fleet Commander's keen observation and excellent judgment before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War was openly touted......

Too bad! You know, in this world, there are not many people who can control their emotions.

Heihachiro Togo can only express his good fortune that he has only been given two nicknames, and that he has not yet been set on fire by angry citizens to his private residence - but if he does not do something positive soon, sooner or later the unfortunate incident will befall him.

Heihachiro Togo didn't understand at all when he had offended the rice country columnist, so much so that this powerful gentleman turned his attention to his head.

"He should continue to care about the Army." He muttered, half to himself.

"That guy caused the Army to lose a brigade, and the Army will definitely not let him continue to care about himself." His audience responded, with obvious mockery.

"We should keep him caring about the Army, or God knows what kind of mess he's going to make." Heihachiro Togo said worriedly.

"I think it's a luxury. If he could have been controlled, the Army would have done so a long time ago. ”

"That's the Army's head is a problem for the red deer that has been filled with horse manure for themselves. If they hadn't held that biography of Nogi Noshinori so high......" Heihachiro Togo was saying as the door to the cabin was pushed open, and the captain of the Mikasa walked in with a newspaper.

Heihachiro Togo recognized it at a glance, it was the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun.

He immediately had a bad premonition: in addition to the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, the writer also had a column in the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun.

What articles did he publish?

As if knowing what he was thinking, his listener glanced at him, then turned to the captain of the flagship. "What's in the newspaper?"

"It's another article about you, Your Excellency, Commander." The commander of the battleship looked at his boss with sympathy, picked up the newspaper, and said slowly: "This time, you can judge that the reason why the Qing navy is vulnerable is because the Qing sailors are drying their clothes on the main guns of the 'Dingyuan' ironclad ship. ”

"Bastard!" Heihachiro Togo shouted angrily, "Drying clothes on the main guns of the 'Dingyuan' ironclad ship, how can that hateful Mi Guoyan write such an article that lacks common sense!" Didn't he know that even if he took the ladder, it was impossible for the Qing sailors to hang their clothes on the main gun of the 'Dingyuan'? ”

"It's very likely, Your Excellency Commander, as far as I know, that writer has not been on the ......."

"I know, but that's not a reason he can make things up." Heihachiro Togo said angrily, "My reputation has been involved in this matter, so I must have a serious conversation with him." ”

After a pause, he added: "After our army has destroyed Lucia's fleet. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
