Chapter 229: Pacific Fleet
readx;
Li Changming looked at Lin Haijiang pitifully and said, "Führer, you're not joking with me, are you?" I'm single! Now I am still in the dormitory, although there is no old man at home, but how can this marriage event be child's play? Witnesses are the minimum, huh? Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable to take it home directly, and besides, our special forces pay attention to long live the moonlight, and if we don't keep tomorrow's money today, we can't afford to raise two more mouths! ”
"Your uncle!" As soon as Lin Haijiang heard his subordinates crying poor, he had the urge to scold, and when he touched his pocket, he realized that it was really cleaner than his face except for a golden pen?
Lin Haijiang can see that Li Changming likes elf girls like Hong Tianjiao very much, and Hong Tianjiao also seems to have a good impression of the seemingly honest Li Changming, whether it is true or false between men and women, you can see it at a glance!
In desperation, Lin Haijiang had no choice but to cough and said: "People's backgrounds are much more valuable than yours, it's just a flower stuck in shit, I am a witness, I will let people arrange the house for you, I can't help with the money problem, the head of state himself has to listen to his wife, I haven't paid pocket money for a few months, I'll write you a note and ask for Chief of Staff Li Anmin and Minister Wang Faren!" ”
Lin Haijiang deliberately said that the borrowing was wanted, and the meaning was already very clear, but Hong Tianjiao was very unappreciative and said: "I gave you the treasures of various princes and marquis of the Kingdom of Heaven for so many years, and after several civil strife, these ownerless things were gathered together, and the king of heaven was afraid of taking the suspicion of robbing the treasure and killing people, so he hid all these gold, silver and jewelry!" As the head of the imperial empire, when the witnesses don't even give gifts? ”
In a hurry, Lin Haijiang rummaged through the drawer, because if he didn't turn it over, I was afraid that Hong Tianjiao would do it himself, and finally Lin Haijiang gritted his teeth and took out a first-class Medal of Loyalty and Courage inlaid with rubies from a brocade box in the drawer and said: "I hereby award Lieutenant Colonel Li Changming, captain of the Sixth Operations Brigade of the Armed Military Police Special Forces, who has repeatedly penetrated behind enemy lines and made great achievements for the empire, the first-class Medal of Loyalty and Bravery!" I hope to make persistent efforts and create new achievements! ”
After wearing the medal, Li Changming's tears flowed out, the medals of the Chinese Empire can be described as extremely precious, even the chest of the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff is a blank slate, today he is his wife, the medal, and the dream he has expected has all come true.

For Hong Tianjiao and Li Changming's performance of a similar farce, in fact, it also added some fun to Lin Haijiang, Lin Haijiang's heart is mirror-like, Li Changming is also defending Hong Tianjiao in disguise, he is afraid that his head of state will be angry and dispose of this little woman who does not understand the rules and is spoiled, as the head of the empire, Lin Haijiang can feel more and more awe, there are fewer and fewer people around him who can chat with their hearts, and the subordinates are more looking at themselves from afar with reverence, is this the height of the cold? Maybe the emperor is the same as the scholar, and he is a lonely person!
As soon as he got out of the secret room, Li Changming's ass was immediately kicked by Hong Tianjiao, Hong Tianjiao said angrily: "There is really no man, crying and crying, hugging my sister, I tell you that the marriage is absolutely sloppy, matchmakers, and dowry gifts are indispensable, but I have to keep filial piety for three years, and I can only marry you after three years, you must give my mother and me as a jade in these three years, otherwise I will click on you!" Now take Lin Haijiang's slip and ask for money. ”
Looking at the two people who left, the guards at the door had palpitations, and even called the Führer's name? Whoever marries such a fierce wife must have no virtue in this life, and he has done damage in this life! I don't know who that unlucky guy is? What a pitiful!
For such a result, Lin Haijiang believes that even Fu Shanxiang will be satisfied, and a battle plan left by Li Anmin before requires the transfer of the troops of the 12th Division of the 3rd Army Huang Shengzhi, the 11th Division Wang Daodun, the 10th Division Li Jiang, and the 9th Division Xu Renda, a total of four whole divisions, for the response of the Shanghai Outer Line, and the 1st Corps with all the field artillery to hold Shanghai, so as to attract the main force of the Russian army and the Beiyang New Army to attack Shanghai.
Lin Haijiang had previously approved the intelligence headquarters to let the Qing army and the Russian army know through channels that the Chinese Empire had stored about 5,000 kilograms of gold and 9 million taels of silver in Shanghai, as well as a large number of weapons, ammunition and war materials, especially a large amount of machinery and equipment plundered from Tianjin Wei, and that after the recovery of Shanghai, the second gun manufacturing plant and the Baoshan Iron and Steel Group were to be built in Shanghai.
Prior to this, the Production and Construction Corps had built a large number of permanent fortifications on the periphery of Hangzhou and Suzhou in Shanghai, and laid 200,000 mines.
Because there are many rivers and lakes in the two lakes, they are not suitable for a decisive battle of the large army at all, and the enemy's small troops are very easy to intersperse, the most important thing is that the political work of the two lakes has only just started, and the foundation is relatively poor, and it is the birthplace of the Hunan army, and it will take a long time to assimilate steadily.
And after plundering the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Tianjing, the Russians must have eaten an appetizing dish, although Tianjing is big, but after several civil strife, there are not many residents in the city, and if Hong Xiuquan arranged to hide gold before, then the Russian army and the Qing army in Tianjing can not plunder what satisfies them, plundering is like taking drugs, once it is stained, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone!
The news that the Chinese Imperial Navy's combat strength has been greatly damaged is to be released from the headquarters, and the tragic scene in Guangzhou Port has also been deliberately arranged before, in order to make the Russians and the Qing court believe that the Chinese Empire will not be able to dispatch any naval ships in a short period of time, and the sea is temporarily safe for them, so the Russians and the Beiyang side have a reason to capture Shanghai as a maritime supply line, It is important to know that replenishment by sea is much simpler and more time-saving than replenishment by land or on the spot.
Moreover, there are mountains of gold, silver, weapons, ammunition and materials in Shanghai, even if the Chinese Empire can snatch away gold and silver, the remaining weapons, materials and equipment cannot be transported, these have an almost irresistible temptation for Beiyang, after all, Lin Haijiang has a big move to Beiyang, Dagukou Fort and Beiyang Gun Manufacturing Bureau have been moved empty, and now there is such an opportunity for Lin Haijiang to make a big move, I believe this is what Beiyang is willing to see, There is nothing more enjoyable than treating others in their own way.
On the front line of Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Changshu, Lin Haijiang planned to put down at least five divisions of troops to firmly attract the main forces of the Russian army and the Beiyang New Army to this line, and the permanent fortification system of this line was very complete, but at the moment there were only two divisions of the Second Army Corps, which was far from Lin Haijiang's plan to mobilize two army corps for garrison defense and use the forces of three army corps to intersperse and cooperate in the periphery.
Lin Haijiang suddenly remembered that he seemed to be transferring Zhanyang back to his side, for a naval general, letting him stay on land and lead the army to fight was tantamount to torture, but Lin Haijiang was more to protect his safety, but when would the fledgling under his wings become an eagle with wings spread in the blue sky?
The Imperial Navy captured a large number of allied warships, and Lin Haijiang decided to form the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Empire and the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the formation of these two fleets also symbolized the formal development of the Chinese Empire's ocean strategy.
The remaining 31 armored protection cruisers were organized into the Indian Ocean Fleet, looking around the Indochina Peninsula to deter India, and in terms of candidates, the commander of the Pacific Fleet was proposed to be Rear Admiral Zhanyang, the commander of the first fleet was Rear Admiral Tang Ziqiang, and the commander of the second fleet was Rear Admiral Ma Jiang! Admiralty Chief of Staff Jia Wuji and Chief of Staff of the Fleet.
As for the Indian Ocean Fleet, Lin Haijiang decided to appoint Colonel Luo Jianping of the Maritime Frontier Strategy Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters as commander of the fleet, Colonel Guan Chao, commander of the First Fleet, Colonel Yang Tianhua, commander of the Second Fleet, Colonel Feng Guohua, commander of the Third Fleet, and Colonel Huang Tao, chief of staff of the fleet.
The captain of the Dingyuan ship, Xia Xue, and the adjutant Ye Xiaoxi were injured in the naval battle in the South China Sea, and they have not healed yet, so Lin Haijiang had to promote Wei Haiwei to be the captain, in fact, Xia Xue was appointed just to cooperate with the promotion of Fu Shanxiang's policy of equal pay for men and women, after all, there were fewer provinces recovered by the Chinese Empire, and there were many wars and famines, and the population fled more, young and middle-aged people, and many women, so this was also Lin Haijiang's helpless move.
However, all the transformation and modification of warships will not be completely completed until October, and the breakthrough in the research of the Imperial Scientific Research Administration in the field of steam turbines has made Lin Haijiang realize the precious surname of oil, before which oil was just a necessary non-renewable strategic material that he wanted to seize for future generations, and now this preemption has become an extreme demand.
It can be said that the overall economy of the empire has completely fallen into a dead circle because of the war with the Eight-Nation Alliance, exports and imports have almost all stopped, and the only thing left to make a lot of money is the arms business, which has accounted for 70% of the overall economy of the Chinese Empire, and the withering people's livelihood in China makes Lin Haijiang somewhat unable to deal with it.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the empire's economy, Lin Haijiang has realized that he will go further and further on the road of reckless military force, and cannot let the war stop, especially the civil war in the United States, where the warring parties basically do not produce arms, and everything needs to be imported, which provides an opportunity for Lin Haijiang!
