"It doesn't matter what country it is, no matter what kind of ship it is, come over!" , Ito Hirofumi forced the sick body out of the cabin and ordered, the most embarrassing thing for the mission now is that it knows too little about the current situation in China, and even does not know whether the Chinese capital is still in Beijing, if it can meet a Chinese ship, there is no need to take the wrong road, even if the ship is from another country, it is possible to find out a little news.

As the distance closed, the lookout saw more clearly, and he shouted to the officers on the bridge, "It's a warship, but I don't know which country it belongs to, I've never seen this kind of naval flag"

"Nine times out of ten, it is a Chinese warship, and it is normal to use a new military flag after a change of regime." Ito Hirobumi said to several of his subordinates, and after learning that the military flag, which the lookout had never seen before, also had the pattern of a Chinese dragon painted on it, he was completely convinced that the warship belonged to the Chinese navy, so he immediately ordered the white flag to be raised to avoid being attacked.

"Your Excellency, isn't it too much to put up a white flag so far away," several naval officers blushed and persuaded.

"Our trip was originally to bend the knee and seek peace, what face do we have? How can you delay the business for this! But Ito Hirobumi waved his hand firmly and demanded that they carry it out immediately, probably in a hurried tone, and couldn't help coughing, and the naval officers did not dare to persuade them any more, and could only watch the white flag that made them feel ashamed to rise on the mast.

Looking at their expressions, Ito Hirobumi, whose face looked a little better, said in a deep voice, "Those who know shame are almost brave, I hope you will remember today's shame and lead the Japanese Navy to rise again, the fiasco of Dadonggou and Jianghua Bay, every Japanese will not look like they will see it again."

After carrying Ito Hirobumi back to the cabin, Katsu Haizhou suddenly reached out and snatched the handkerchief in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, the bloodstains were shocking. Katsu Haishu sighed deeply and looked at Hirobumi Ito worriedly, "Ito-kun, your body"

"That's enough for this mission." , Ito Hirobumi waved his hand as if he didn't care, but his heart was full of bitterness, although tuberculosis is now incurable, but if the condition can be controlled and well regulated, high-ranking officials and dignitaries like Ito Hirobumi who don't have to worry about money can still live for a long time, but he didn't expect that this envoy would make the condition worse again, and this nature is different.

Originally, I was thinking about how I would implement constitutional government in a big way after I became prime minister again after this mission was accomplished, but now that everything has come to naught, even if I am as free and easy as Ito Hirobumi, I can't help but feel a little depressed for a while. However, Hirobumi Ito is Hirobumi Ito after all, and he quickly reinvigorated, "Since this is my last mission, it is even more necessary to complete it perfectly"

Just when Ito Hirobumi secretly made up his mind, the Chinese warship gradually approached, even without binoculars can see that she is an old-fashioned cruiser with a distinct French style, through the flag, the ship asked the Saikyo Maru to stop the ship and put down the lifeboat, Katsukaishu, who had just walked out of the cabin, immediately ordered to do so as a deputy envoy, and soon a lifeboat was put down, and the three selected representatives drove to the cruiser in the lifeboat and explained the situation to it, no way, the ability to express the flag language is limited after all, and now there is no radio station, If you want to have a more detailed communication, you have to have a face-to-face interview.

I don't know what I talked to with the Chinese on the cruiser, after the lifeboat passed, it drove back slowly, and there were still three people on the boat, but a new face appeared. As soon as the "tall" young man, who looked to be in his twenties, boarded the Saikyo Maru, he asked Katsu Kaishu and the others who came to greet him, "May I ask who is your regiment leader?" ”

"Ito-kun is unfortunately ill, I am the deputy envoy Katsu Haishu, may I ask who you are?" , Sheng Haizhou didn't know the identity of the other party, and was worried that the other party was just a small person, so it would be too cheap to let Ito Hirobumi, a big man who had been the prime minister of Japan, take care of himself first.

The young man made a gesture that should be a military salute and introduced himself in fluent Japanese, "I am Li Hailong, political commissar of the cruiser Kaiji of the Chinese Coastal Defense Fleet, and since you have come to China to negotiate peace on behalf of the Japanese government, please accept our arrangement next, so as to avoid some unpleasant misunderstandings." ”

"Kaiji, it is indeed a warship of the Nanyang Naval Division, alas, the current Japanese Navy has fallen to the point that the Chinese government thinks that those old ships of the Beiyang Fleet are not worth sending?" , Sheng Haizhou was secretly sad in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and calmly ordered the following to do what Li Hailong said, the Saikyo Maru, which was converted from a large merchant ship, was much larger than the Kaiji, but it followed the Kaiji like a little daughter-in-law, which looked quite funny.

Although Li Hailong had already stated his identity, Sheng Haizhou didn't know what the official position of the "political commissar" was, and was about to continue to ask, but Li Hailong suddenly smiled and said to him, "I have admired Mr. Haizhou's name for a long time, and I don't want to see him today, but I am fortunate to meet him." ”

To be reasonable, as a biochemical soldier, where does Li Hailong know about Sheng Haizhou! As a representative figure of the pro-China faction in Japan at present, Sheng Haizhou is still very worthy of being held in Li Hui's eyes, and although his opposition to Japan's aggression against China is somewhat naïve in light of the background of the times, it has won Li Hui's respect.

Sheng Haizhou really showed joy, but thinking of the purpose of his trip, his mood suddenly became very complicated

After listening to Sheng Haizhou's question, Li Hailong immediately took out his notebook and pen, first wrote the four words "political commissar" to Sheng Haizhou, and then explained programmatically, "Political commissar, referred to as political commissar, is a position unique to our Chinese people's army, and is responsible for party and organizational work in the army on behalf of the Datong Party, so as to ensure the absolute leadership of the Datong Party over the army. In terms of position, we are on the same level as the captain, and our military has a two-headed responsibility system, rather than a single-headed responsibility system that is common in the world. ”

Although he was interested in how the two-headed responsibility system could avoid internal friction, the Japanese Navy, as the loser, had no right to question the winner's system, so Katsu Haishu wisely suppressed his curiosity and instead resorted to chatting with Li Hailong to obtain more information.
