Yantai Port. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was late at night, the workers at the port implemented a three-shift system, and there were people on duty at all times, so that when the whistle sounded a terrible sound, the workers on the dock were not in a hurry. According to the drill, the workers came to the dock, and the coolies also trotted out in a line, ready to be called.

The four giant beasts that swallowed coal and smoked smoke had already approached the dock. The boat carried the warriors carried by the giant beast to land. A tall Prussian officer jumped off the boat with a serious expression and shouted in his native Chinese language, "Does anyone understand Prussian?" I need someone who knows Prussian to talk to. ”

"Your Excellency, it is late at night, and it is not a gentleman's act to make noise at this time. I think it's better for us to speak quietly, there are a lot of Prussian speakers in Shandong, so you don't have to worry about any communication problems. ”

In the light, a man and a woman come out hand in hand. The man wore a tuxedo, and the woman wore a tight-fitting military uniform and boat-shaped hat, which made the figure particularly moving.

The officer was no stranger to this man, and the expression on his face also became better, and he opened his arms and greeted: "Guanshuai!" I really didn't expect to meet you at the dock at this time. His Excellency Little Liman is still on the ship, he needs to command the troops, and he can't get off the ship casually. We have run out of food and fresh water, and there is not much coal left. As for the shells...... Thankfully, if we had fought the Fuso people one more time, we would have had to solve the problem by jumping gangs. ”

"Don't worry, Shandong has enough supplies in reserve to complete the supply in the shortest possible time. Including the emergency repair of the hull, just leave it to my people. As for Your Excellency, we can have some wine and snacks and enjoy a rare leisure time. ”

Yantai's wine is one of the fist products of Shandong's local industry and commerce, with high quality, but it is limited by its business model and does not have much advantage in competing with Taixi's wine industry. But the real glutton, once drunk, often regards this wine as one of the best memories of his life.

This big officer is obviously also a man of the way. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he has become best friends with Zhao Guanhou.

"We really enjoyed this time, in Hiroshima, and taught those Fuso monkeys a vivid lesson, they never thought that in their own homes, they would also be attacked from the sea. We didn't even do the vigilance work, and we beat them to the ground. We only scratched a little skin, but they lost a lot of supplies. The explosion...... It's really exciting, only God knows, how much ammunition was detonated. The fire at the port of Hiroshima was a Christmas present. This time, they're afraid it will take a few months to recover before they can get you in trouble. ”

Zhao Guanhou expressed his gratitude and asked, "Prussia has already declared war on Fuso?" ”

"Not yet, but it doesn't matter. We appeared as pirates, and there is no evidence that we are Prussians. Therefore, once captured, without enjoying the protection of the public law of the nations, there is no power. But who cares? Even if the flag is hung, there will not be much difference, counting on the Fuso people to protect our rights and interests? I might as well have hoped that my old grandmother would suddenly have teeth. You don't need to be thankful, everyone stands in a trench, helping you is the same as helping yourself. Many of my relatives and my subordinates are in Qingdao. Sooner or later, the Fuso would join forces with the Albians to declare war on the Empire, and Qingdao was naturally their target. After this lesson, those Oriental monkeys could not organize a strong offensive in a short period of time. You can use this time to prepare for war. The Fuso people on the sea are to be dealt with by me, and the land part is handed over to you, so that they don't hurt my family. ”

Shandong is very well prepared, and after purchasing the Baoshun ship, there is also relevant training for the maintenance of the steam ship. Coupled with the huge manpower advantage brought about by the influx of refugees, there is no shortage of skilled workers in several ports.

The repair proceeded quickly, and the tall Prussian soldier was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the dock staff, and in a good mood, he talked a lot.

"It's really rare, this time you go to sea, you must bring two bottles of wine, life without wine will be bleak...... Little Liman they are safe, our journey this time is very long, teach the Fusang people, just an appetizer. Cleaning up the Albion is the big meal. Just wait, it won't be long before you hear exciting news. How about I bring you an Albion woman next time I come? ”

Zhao Guanhou gave him a case of wine, and the officer was only close to swearing with Zhao Guanhou. After sending him on the boat, Yang Cuiyu shook her head, "I guess, it's hard to see you again." ”

"Most likely, these four warships are actually a dead chess piece of exchanging lives for lives. Killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, for them, is the most appropriate description. They themselves may not know what the future will be, but if they can sink one more ship, they will sink one more ship, and it is with this will that they have such a powerful navy. If not, how dare they challenge the overlord of the sea? I have to admit that there is still a big gap between our soldiers and foreigners. This time, it can be regarded as a whetstone, whether it is a dragon or a worm, and you will see it after grinding. ”

"The Fuso people really wouldn't have thought that there was a navy beating them with a stuffy stick. But their performance shouldn't be so bad, here...... There is a problem. Jade's brow furrowed slightly, making her even more cute.

Zhao Guanhou grabbed her waist and kissed her on the face, "You, the head of the secretariat, are becoming more and more competent, and you can be half of my staff officer." The people of Fuso are indeed proud, but they are not so proud as to be careless. This time, it can be regarded as a flaw. In Shandong, Prussia's commercial interests were actually very limited, that is, a large amount of Prussian capital entered the mining industry in the past two years. Previously, Albion had always been in business. If the Fuso people want to come in, they will definitely have to use the brains of those mines, and will the people of Albion agree? Therefore, this time it is a bitter ploy, and these sacrifices are used to negotiate conditions with the people of Albion in the future. I've given so much for it, and if you don't let me take a little more, how can I explain it. Of course, on the Prussian side, it can be regarded as a favor for me, at least these supplies are gone, and the Fuso people will not really use force in a short time. ”

Yang Cuiyu said: "The weather is getting cooler, and it is not suitable for entering the army." If it really comes to the middle of winter, it will be more beneficial to us. ”

"It's not just the climate, it's also a question of timing. The Fuso people are waiting, waiting for the Albians to compromise. The position of the Albians as the world hegemon is becoming less and less secure. There was a rebellion in Tianzhu, although Tianzhu was weak, but I heard that there was a very powerful queen, and she really won some battles. On the African side, a bunch of blacks are also making trouble. These places are scattered with Albion's energy, and it will naturally be difficult to fight with a strong country like Prussia. At this time, it is most suitable to talk about catty, Fuso is a dog raised by Albiang. This is the need for the dog to bite the person, the dog needs to ask for more bones, the later the shot, the greater the benefit. This attack was not only an excuse for them to help Albion call the police with their lives, to make them realize the horror of the steam fleet, but also to send troops later. ”

Zhao Guanhou exhaled a long breath, "Fusang people, the pattern is limited, there are a lot of ghosts, dealing with them, cheap is not so easy to take advantage of." But in any case, even if I owe these Prussians a favor, I will find a way to repay them in the future, no matter what he thinks of me. Can you help me find out the situation of these navy families in Qingdao, and ...... in the future Repay the favor. ”

The two of them returned to their temporary residence, a telegram was already on the desk, and Cuiyu's face was a little sad after the rapid translation. "Sai Jinhua's residence was attacked. Although our men were prepared, a fried egg fell into the yard. The second sister had better transfer it, otherwise it would be very dangerous. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head: "She won't agree." The second sister hung out the signboard of Zhao Guanhou's outer room in a good manner, of course, not to refine me, her intention was to reduce the pressure for you. The assassins of Fuso will not only attack me, but also the people around me, and they are also targeted, compared to the wife in the courtyard of the deep house, her outer room is relatively much easier to kill. After all, Fuso's manpower is limited, and every time you consume one more assassin from her, you will be less dangerous. She is using her life to share the pressure for you. If she hadn't had this consideration, she wouldn't have put up that sign. ”

In addition to Sai Jinhua, high-ranking officials in Shandong, such as Zou Jingzhai and Li Runnian, and even Meng Siyuan and Zou Xiurong, were assassinated by Fuso's intelligence agencies. However, for Zhao Guanhou, an assassination expert, it is also unfavorable for the Fuso intelligence agency. In this field, their experience is not as rich as that of Zhao Guanhou. In several encounters, Fuso people were defeated and suffered heavy losses.

Rao is like this, as an insider, living in the shadow of death every day, of course life will not be easy. Even the children of several families are not allowed to come and go at will. Sai Jinhua could have stayed out of the matter, but at this time, she decisively stood up to attract firepower, and Cuiyu's heart was also grateful.

Zhao Guanhou said: "Not only the second sister of Sai, but others are also working hard. The second brother in the Shandong General Chamber of Commerce to boycott Fusang goods, with the level of light industry in Shandong, Fusang goods originally had little advantage in competition with us. The main purpose of him doing this is not a business war, but a statement to prove that he is on my side and is willing to fight to the death with the Fuso people. Just for this statement, he has already eaten fried eggs twice, and the factory has also been bombed once. ”

"The second sister-in-law is too, her factory was set on fire and fried eggs several times. After a while, the Fuso people stopped and then began to make trouble again. ”

"They don't want to send troops so quickly, and they don't want me to be too well prepared, so they have to use some means. This sabotage and conspiracy is part of the preparation. As far as Fuso is concerned, as long as it can effectively delay our time to build fortifications and prepare supplies, the sacrifice of these personnel is worthwhile. There is a gap between me and their philosophy about the use of intelligence officers, but it is ...... for people's hearts We are just as ruthless. ”

Zhao Guanhou sighed, "Originally, everyone in the Lu army has money, and the military salary can be directly transferred by Siheng, and there is no need to ask for the salary." I did this not to check any vacancies, but to make the brothers below feel that the handsome man was intimate with them. I can name each company commander to make them feel that it is worth working for me. Willing to go to the soup for me, sacrifice life and forget death. So this time's salary is actually a life-buying job. The most important thing is that after they work hard, they may not be able to realize the ideals in their hearts. This time, it is said that it is a beating for the family and the country, which is a foolish word. In the final analysis, it is still for me to fight, and the Fuso people came to the door with a fierce momentum, just to have a winner take all. I don't give them a little bit of power, let them know that I am not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others, maybe in the future of Shandong, I, the handsome, will become a puppet. Their lives are just a bargaining chip, so that I can have bargaining capital with the Fuso people, but until they die, they may not understand this. ”

"If you don't understand, you don't understand." Cuiyu took Zhao Guanhou's hand and placed it on his chest. "When I was in Beijing, I saw a lot of people, and if you want to use the word good and evil to divide it, it is difficult to say. There is a clear stream of imperial history that is not greedy or occupied, is he a good person? But they want to make things difficult for us, strictly check the discipline, and we have no business to do, and to me, they are wicked people. Shigege, to me, is a benefactor, but I have not done less things such as fights and brawls, and even things that hurt people, so what should I do? It's not interesting for me to dwell on good and evil. All I know is that he who does good to me is good, and he who does evil to me is evil. What you do with the Fusang people doesn't affect that you are a consoling father, my man, and you will never treat me as a sacrifice or a bargaining chip. All I need to know is this, that's enough. Nothing else, it doesn't matter. ”

"I'd rather lose the world than live up to myself; I'd rather lose myself than live up to the beauty. No matter whether you win or lose, no matter what the world is, no matter what the world is, I will never lose to you. Zhao Guanhou took Cuiyu's hand, looked at the dark night outside the window, and said in his heart: Thanks to the help of these Prussians, at least a year of dissipation. By the time it comes next year, I don't know what it will look like.

The actions of the assassins made Shandong panic for a while, and it was not until the eve of the Chinese New Year that society gradually stabilized. Fuso's manpower is not endless, especially in the contest between the two sides, Fuso is actually the losing side. By the end of autumn, Fuso's sabotage had to be suspended. This time it is not to learn anything from Shandong, but the headquarters can no longer afford such a serious loss of manpower.

Although there are still many people coming to Shandong, the attitude of the local side of Shandong has changed from being regarded as a plague at the beginning to a warm welcome now.

Because at this time, there are very few refugees in the real sense, and more are young adults, workers and even skilled technicians.

Chen Lenghe's Zhengyuan, taking advantage of the wave of layoffs caused by the economic crisis, advertised in Songjiang and recruited hundreds of Taixi technicians for Zhao Guanhou's factory. These intangible wealth, even ordinary officials, can understand the weight of it, spending money on them, in fact, is an investment, and the future returns are destined to be rich.

Robbers in Hebei and famine in Henan, in contrast, Shandong is the pure land of the world. At the beginning of the republic, Zhao Guanhou was angry and turned red, and rode down to Jiangning. In the second year of the alliance, the Lu army entered Shaanxi, and more than 100,000 swordsmen were beaten to pieces. With these achievements, even Liu Heiqi did not dare to take one more step towards Shandong.

Shandong's environment is good for the poor, and for the rich, it is a paradise. There are more and more wealthy people in the north who go to Shandong to avoid trouble, so the number of rich people in the whole Shandong naturally increases. With these wealthy people moving in, the economy became more and more prosperous. Compared with his colleagues in neighboring provinces, the local officials of Shandong still can't help but say: Being an official in Shandong is comfortable.

Drinking water and thinking about the source, when it comes to the end of the year, the visitors in Zhao Guanhou's mansion are not finished from morning to night. Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was busy for most of the day, until in the evening, when Adjutant Gao Sheng had to teach Dao Yin, who had arrived from afar, with a straight face

"You have a little eyesight, can you? Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? What's the matter, you still want to have a pair of chopsticks at Guanshuai's family banquet? Are you from a cavalry shed? Are you an artillery veteran? Have you ever fought a boxer with a big handsome, or ever fought Tieler? ”

In the courtyard, Zhao Guanhou had already changed into civilian clothes, took Su Hanzhi's hand, and watched the children run and play wildly. Jingci held firecrackers and chased after Ah Jiufang. The timid Ah Jiu didn't dare to set off the cannonball, his ears were blocked with his hands, and he was chased everywhere. Just when Jingci was enjoying the fun of bullying, he saw a foreign girl walking towards him with two kicks in her hand and a smile on her face. immediately yelled at his mother for help and ran towards Su Hanzhi.

Feng Xi commanded the chef at home to prepare the dinner, busy with his hands and feet, only occasionally peeking at Zhao Guanhou, and then at Jing Ci, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile, perhaps, this is the best life.

Outside the door, a big man walked over with a few entourages, although he was dressed like a rich businessman, but in the Marshal's Mansion, what was a rich businessman? Unless you have a beautiful daughter or wife, you can still be looked down upon by the soldiers. Gao Sheng was about to ask, but the big man had already handed over a business card, "After you handsome people read the business card, if you still can't see me, I'll leave immediately." ”

Gao Sheng took the film and looked at it, there was no prefix such as official title or military rank, there was only one name: Ma Guojie. (To be continued.) )
