Chapter 492: Straightforward
In the silent headquarters, Liu Jun's crisp laughter came, and this laughter made Zheng Yiqian on the side full of doubts, after all, since the beginning of the war against Japan, she had never seen Liu Jun so happy.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yiqian didn't know the news that Tsarist Russia had sent a fleet out, so she could only ask Zhong Lin next to her.
"Just received information that Nikolai from Moscow ordered the European fleet to come to Asia." Zhong Lin said in a low voice.
Okay, good, after a few good words in a row, Liu Jun stood up from his chair excitedly.
"Isn't it that Tsarist Russia has mobilized warships from Europe to come here, and it is worth being so happy." Seeing Liu Jun's smirk like crazy, Zheng Yiqian muttered suspiciously.
In fact, Zheng Yiqian didn't understand one thing. Tsarist Russia sent a European fleet, so far away to come here, it is inevitable to find a anchorage, and now, Vladivostok has been seized by the Japanese, and the remaining places are only their own Lushun and Weihai two places, therefore, Tsarist Russia will definitely let Vidoyev come to him to discuss the docking of warships, and at this time, he can fight the Liaodong Army garrison Boli to interact. Thus the entry of troops into Burley was fully justified.
"Head, it's good that this European fleet is here. It did us a great favor. Hearing Liu Jun say this, Zhong Lin immediately understood everything.
"Yes, yes." After Liu Junle's response, he said to Zhong Lin again: "You give Wu Tingfang a voice, if Vidoyev comes to him, drag him, and Lao Tzu will also give it to Tsarist Russia to taste, unless he Tsarist Russia agrees that our army will cooperate to defend Shuangchengzi." Burleigh. ”
"Okay." Zhong Lin shouted, turned around and ran out.
"I don't know, this Japanese provoked you, you want to destroy people, the Russians didn't provoke you, but you gave people bad medicine, you people."
"What's wrong with me?" Liu Jun raised his head suspiciously and looked at Zheng Yiqian who was standing beside him.
"It's nothing, you clean up, the old man said, let you go to dinner today." Zheng Yiqian glanced at Liu Jun, turned around and picked up the kettle and walked out.
The old man invited me to dinner, what kind of routine is this, seeing Zheng Yiqian walking out, Liu Jun's confused scum eyes looked at the telegram in front of him in a daze.
Li Hongzhang's mansion. Li Hongzhang, who was dressed in green satin, stood quietly on the balcony, looking at a map in his hand in a daze.
"Grandpa, you've been watching it for hours, take a break." Li Maolian on the side walked up to Li Hongzhang and wanted to take the map from him, but the stubborn Li Hongzhang still refused to let go, but held the map in his hand.
"The old man has been fighting for the strength of the country for decades, but he didn't expect it, but he didn't have Liu Jun's achievements in ten years." A trace of tears fell from the corner of Li Hongzhang's eyes when he said this.
Li Maolian next to her just came from home, as soon as she heard the housekeeper say that Li Hongzhang had been standing on the balcony for a few hours, she immediately put down everything in her hand and ran up, as soon as she saw Li Hongzhang's map, Li Maolian obviously didn't understand what it was for, and now seeing Li Hongzhang shed tears, Li Maolian was even more distressed and helped Li Hongzhang to the next position and sat down, and then asked the housekeeper next to him what happened.
When the housekeeper saw the young lady asking, he could only glance at Li Hongzhang and said, "My lord has been like this since he learned that Commander Duan Qirui led the Third Army to cross the Heilongjiang River. ”
So that's what happened. Li Maolian, who understood, smiled slightly. She is also proud of this matter in her heart, and she is also proud of being Liu Jun's wife, in the past two days, the old people and even children in Lushun and even the entire Liaodong have known that the army of the commander has crossed Heilongjiang and entered the territory of Tsarist Russia.
"Grandpa, you're so happy." Li Maolian squatted down, held Li Hongzhang's hand and asked softly.
Li Hongzhang nodded fiercely, and looked at Li Maolian like a child: "Yes, of course I'm happy, when Tsarist Russia forcibly seized the north of Heilongjiang, at that time, you were not born yet, I thought that we couldn't recover those territories, but now, the Third Army has entered Boli, this is a good start, and we went back again." Li Hongzhang said this, obviously a little excited, and his face began to be ruddy.
Afraid that Li Hongzhang would be too excited and turn his back on his anger, Li Maolian hurriedly diverted the topic and shifted Li Hongzhang's train of thought to the battleship Hongzhang, which was entering the port.
Sure enough, Li Hongzhang was attracted by this and shifted his gaze to the battleship Hongzhang in the distance.
He once heard that Germany had paid 20 million taels of silver in the hope that Liu Jun would be able to sell the sketch and data to Germany, but he didn't expect that Liu Jun was a lion who opened his mouth, not only asking for money, but also technology, and German military technology.
It seems that the matter was not negotiated in the end. Anyway, Li Hongzhang knows, this Hongzhang number and Yi? is the best warship in the world, even if it is a British warship, he can only bow his head high, and admit that this warship is the best warship, and Britain cannot build it.
"Master, Liu Jun is here." The housekeeper looked down at Liu Junzheng, accompanied by Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian, Li Jingfang, and Li Jingshu, and immediately bowed his head and said to Li Hongzhang.
Li Jingshu is the youngest son of Li Hongzhang, before Li Hongzhang came to Lushun, Li Jingshu worked in Liaodong, and now, Li Jingshu's position is the deputy director of the Liaodong Logistics Department, with the rank of lieutenant general.
"Old man, I'm here to eat again." Before Li Hongzhang could stand up, Liu Jun's voice was already ringing behind him.
As soon as he heard Liu Jun's voice, Li Hongzhang came to Liu Jun with the support of the housekeeper and Li Maolian.
"Good boy, well done, you let me see the army entering the territory of Tsarist Russia, once our territory, I invite you to dinner today, mention my teacher to invite you to dinner." Li Hongzhang said this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that this was the case, and Liu Jun, who had never understood why Li Hongzhang invited him to dinner, finally came back to his senses.
"Old man, I would like to tell you a good news, now, the Japanese army has withdrawn from Boli, and I plan to discuss with Tsarist Russia to jointly defend Boli and Shuangchengzi."
What the? Li Hongzhang opened his mouth wide in surprise, he had heard that Liu Jun's troops had entered Boli, but he had not heard of entering Shuangchengzi. What is going on, Li Hongzhang looked at Liu Jun standing in front of him suspiciously.
Liu Jun originally wanted to tell Li Hongzhang the news that the Tsarist European fleet was here, but when he saw Li Maolian's eyes that wanted to eat him, he could only smile and signal Li Hongzhang to go to the dinner table, he told Li Hongzhang one by one, and then asked Li Hongzhang to pay attention to it, so that Tsarist Russia could smoothly agree to this matter.
