"Shameless, mean, nasty Chinese—" On the bridge of the battleship USS Missouri, fleet commander Karov pointed to the Chinese fleet heading east and cursed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Moreover, he still uses Chinese that he only knows.

"The Chinese fleet is worthy of the title of the world's second largest combat force, and this flexible formation sailing alone is incomparable to the US fleet." Dewey also looked at the departing Chinese fleet from the port of the bridge and sighed deeply.

At this time, on the American fleet, except for the angry Karlov and the pensive Dewey, the officers and men of the other ships had not yet recovered from the sudden change, and the sailors of the ships still looked frightened. Didn't they say that they were going to crash the ship, they were all ready, how could it be that when things came to an end, the Chinese suddenly turned and ran? So who won this time? Compared with the frightened US fleet, which has not retreated, the Chinese fleet, which is moving away, is full of jubilation.

"The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real. I don't know the basics of the art of war at the very least, a bunch of idiots. Hahaha-"

Li Liang laughed loudly with the officers and soldiers on the bridge and scolded the dull American fleet, but it was Feng Qi on the side who laughed and said: "The emperor has teased the Americans in the palm of his hand with a little trick, and this trip has greatly increased the prestige of China." Hahaha-"

"Nonsense. The emperor's foresight is beyond the reach of our courtiers. The Yankees can only be blamed for being too dull, who made them think that we would really bump. The Yankees are willing to hit Lao Tzu and are not reluctant, although these warships are old, Lao Tzu still expects to be able to sell them and build new warships. Li Liang didn't care about what he said, and he didn't forget to order the fleet to speed up. Now that we have escaped the interception of the Americans, we must rush to Guantanamo as soon as possible to complete the last assigned task of the fleet. Otherwise, if you are entangled by the American fleet again, it will be really troublesome.

In fact, this kind of thing is completely a contest of wills, because it has nothing to do with the tonnage, artillery, speed, armor and other technical parameters of the ship, and it is not impossible to use a patrol boat to collide with a battleship (of course, the stronger these data, the more advantageous it can be), because the collision of ships is completely a test of the will of both sides of the collision. Through a ship collision incident, it is enough to reflect the combat style and combat intention of a unit. China has already made clear its operational philosophy and intentions through the ship collision incident with Britain in the South China Sea, so one such thing is enough, and if you think this method is easy to use and use it frequently, it can only mean that you are a "two hundred and five".

So this time the Chinese fleet played a little trick. In fact, at this time, the bridge of the flagship Hai Jui was nervously calculating the speed and distance, and at the same time, the observation posts were all staring at the people on the decks of the American ships, distinguishing the military branches and military positions from their clothing.

As expected, the US fleet was prepared to collide with the ship, and not only did the fleet slow down to a state close to a standstill, but each ship also ordered all the personnel on board to withdraw to the deck to avoid the unnecessary death of the officers and men on board due to irreparable damage or even sinking caused by the collision. Unbeknownst to Americans, however, this is exactly what China needs.

After nearly a decade of Li Ming's subtle transformation, the United States has been recognized as China's greatest threat. In addition to the huge land, suitable climate, abundant products, and large population, his geographical location is too superior, and the United States is not as strong as Europe, and there is really no strong enemy around the United States. Therefore, the United States has been studied by China inside and out, including the uniforms of all branches of the US Navy.

When the Chinese fleet's observation posts confirmed that the American fleet's boiler crews had also withdrawn to the deck, the Chinese fleet's ploy succeeded. At Li Liang's order, the eight warships of the fleet turned sharply at the same time under radio contact, and turned to a position parallel to the US fleet at a distance of 300 meters. At the same time, the Victory, which was moving in the first position of the fleet, made a sharp turn after crossing the Missouri and plunged straight into the course of the American fleet, forcing the American fleet to turn into chaos in order to avoid a collision. Because if it collides again, the US fleet will collide with the Chinese fleet, and the nature of the incident will be different. Of course, the American fleet, although it has not been in a big war, is also a well-trained fleet, and at this time the speed of the American fleet is already very slow, although it is an emergency turn, but the American fleet is not in the slightest disorder.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other seven warships of the Chinese fleet rounded the Victory and sailed quickly to the east. However, if the U.S. fleet wanted to speed up at this time, the boilermakers needed to return to the boiler room to restore the released steam to normal pressure before they could begin to catch up with the distant Chinese fleet, a process that would take up to half an hour. After that, they caught up with the Chinese fleet again in time with the advantage of speed, and at that time it was the Americans who would be at the expense of the Americans to collide with the ship again. In fact, Dewey added a sentence to the end of the notice sent to the US government: It is meaningless to chase and intercept the Chinese fleet again, not to mention that the fleet supply is no longer enough to support a rapid pursuit.

After receiving the notification, the U.S. government was helpless against the Chinese fleet that had crossed the interception, but it still ordered the fleet to complete its replenishment and march towards Guantanamo, waiting for the next action order.

At this time, it was already late at night on the other side of the earth, and the ****** in Beijing was still brightly lit. Emperor Li Ming, Prime Minister Yan Fu and the ministers of various ministries were busy with their own work, but their minds were worried about the other side of the earth. Although the plan seems perfect, it is up to people to make things happen, and it's still up to heaven to make things happen, isn't it? If something goes wrong and there is a real fight, maybe the internal and foreign policies of the imperial court will undergo major changes again, which is not what Prime Minister Yan Fu wants.

At half past two in the morning, the phone on the dragon case suddenly rang, and everyone in the hall focused their attention on the bright yellow phone. Li Ming took the phone and said softly: "I am here, something to do." ”

The emperor didn't speak, but after a while, the emperor gently put down the phone, and then smiled: "Everything is as expected." ”

Before the emperor's words fell, there was a hurried footstep outside the door: "Report, the patrol fleet is urgent." ”

At this time, he didn't care about any etiquette, and Lin Qizhao, the nearest household secretary, was the first to take the telegram, and after a cursory glance, he laughed and said: "Okay, okay, the United States has suffered a big loss this time, and has lost a lot of face in front of the world, and it is bound to expand its armaments again-"

"Nonsense, can Lao Tzu's subordinates be bad?" Wu Deren took the telegram and read it proudly, completely forgetting his previous worries.

With Wu Deren's voice, the tense nerves of the courtiers relaxed. Since everything on the other side of the earth is as expected, the follow-up work of the imperial court can be carried out normally. As for the failure to cause chaos in the American fleet, it only shows that the American fleet is well-trained, and it must not all mean that the fleets of all countries are the same as the Russian fleets.

All the ministers congratulated the emperor one after another, but Yan Fu smiled and said: "The emperor is far-sighted, and he has long expected that the Americans will withdraw the officers and soldiers inside the ship. That's why there is this victory, and the emperor is wise - "Yan Fu stopped talking, and the ministers were a new round of sycophants.

"Less sycophancy. It's not that I'm wise, it's that I've read a lot of books. I've told you a long time ago that I usually read more. You are good, only read the books of the ancient sages, and abandon the foreign classics. Wu Deren, don't pout, it's you. I don't know how Li Magpie is married. ”

Wu Deren lowered his head and quietly took two steps back, hiding behind everyone. I'm still complaining in my heart: Why do you have to treat me as a baby every time you talk about reading? So much so that Zhang Xiluan, the new veteran of the Ministry of War, asked: "Oh - what book did the emperor learn about, and please give advice." ”

"But this time I didn't read it from the book, but from the difference between the names of China and foreign countries." In the surprised eyes of the courtiers, Li Ming pretended to be profound and said slowly: "Everyone knows that the Chinese take the surname after the first name, and since ancient times, they have also believed that the family is more important than the individual. But foreigners, on the contrary, have the first name and the last surname. What does this mean? This can only show that foreigners believe that the individual comes first. Just like this collision incident, if it really hits, there is a great possibility that the officers and men inside the ship will drown in the cabin. If this is a war between China and the United States, then there is nothing to say about the soldiers who stick to their duties and die on the job. But now is not war, there is enough time to withdraw the soldiers inside the ship before ramming the ship. If the order to retreat is not issued, the soldiers will die innocently on the job, and their leading generals will inevitably be severely reprimanded when they return home. This is determined by the habits of the American mindset, or rather, it is in line with the moral code of the Americans. It is precisely because of this that I am sure that once the collision with the ship is inevitable, the Americans will inevitably evacuate the officers and men inside the ship in advance, so that our army will have the basis for implementing this plan. ”

"From the habit of choosing a name alone, the emperor can see so many problems. The ministers were taught. ”

"It's not that simple, I read the impressions from many foreign classics, and the habit of choosing a name is just a performance. There is a cloud in the art of war, and you know that you will win a hundred battles. Now our enemies are none other than the Western powers, led by Britain, France, and the United States, so it is natural to understand them. The generals in the Zhengzhong Army are general, some are good at martial arts, some are good at planning, some are good at planning, and some are also good at taking risks, and there are different rules and regulations on how to deal with the above four generals. It is precisely because I have read foreign classics for a long time that I know the character and habits of Europeans and Americans, and I have decided on this plan. But if the challenge of the Chinese fleet is met in this way, it will inevitably fail. The difference is precisely the difference between the behavior and habits of China and the two countries. This difference is not only reflected in the military, but also in politics, economics, and trade. The secretaries should understand our intentions with their hearts and take advantage of this difference to plan for the greater interests of the country. "No way, it has been more than hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty closed the country, and the vision of the Chinese people has been greatly limited. Even though these teams have begun to look at the whole world, they are still constrained by traditional etiquette and religion in their thinking, but they don't know what benevolence foreigners don't care about in international interests. To change the concept of the imperial court to adapt to the current jungle society, but also to maintain the traditional five virtues as much as possible, as the emperor Li Ming really can't come up with a way to do both, can only let everyone read more Chinese and foreign books, and experience it for themselves.

"The ministers have been taught—"

"The minister has the book to play my emperor." Yan Fu, who was standing at the head of the team, suddenly stepped forward and said: "The country's primary task at present is to develop the economy, which requires a peaceful environment inside and outside the country. Therefore, the ministers dared to invite our emperor, and such incidents should be put to an end in the future. ”

"What Yan Xiang said is reasonable, and I should be careful to keep it small. Officers and men at all levels of the three armed forces should also restrain their units and refrain from provoking them, especially those in the southwest. After Li Ming finished speaking, he looked at Second General Duan Feng.

The two of them were suddenly embarrassed, and Zhao Erfeng, commander of the Southwest Military Region, was constantly provoking the British and French troops stationed in Annam and Burma under the will of the two of them. Feng Guozhang, who is the commander-in-chief of the army, stood up: "Please let the emperor and Yan Xiang go, and your subordinates will immediately go south to adjust the military arrangements in the southwest." ”

"Okay, it's deep. Let's all go back and rest early. ”

Outside, a bright moon hung high in the sky. Li Ming walked out of the ******, waved goodbye to the ministers, and walked slowly in the moonlight. The water is murmuring under the Yingtai Bridge, and it seems that there are fish who have not slept, as if they can still hear the sound of the fish fluctuating and splashing. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such tranquility, Li Ming smiled faintly.

The hall in the main building is still brightly lit. Li Ming looked at it but complained: It must be that Zao'er didn't sleep and was still waiting for him. Push the door in, and sure enough. Zao'er sat on the sofa and quietly reviewed the Ministry of Education's recital, and there was not even a maid waiting on the side.

"Didn't you say you should go to bed early?" Li Ming was very unhappy.

"The concubine can't sleep, so I'm waiting for you to come back while watching the excerpts." Yang Zao'er stood up as she spoke, and the coat she was wearing slipped down. The pink belly pocket in the gauze that was as thin as a cicada's wings immediately attracted all of Li Ming's attention. No wonder there isn't even a maid, I see. Li Ming's lustful heart was greatly moved, and he stepped forward to pick up Yang Zao'er and was about to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute-the concubine asked the imperial dining room to stew a bowl of ginseng soup for you, let's drink the soup first."

Seeing Yang Zao'er kicking and stepping on the two jade legs, Li Ming couldn't wait: "Don't worry, if you don't drink ginseng soup, your husband and I are also very ......."

Three days later, the visiting fleet, which had escaped the interception of the American fleet, slowly approached the dock at Guantanamo, and was greeted by the shopkeepers of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Cuba. On the dock, when Li Liang was greeting with the shopkeepers of the merchants, he heard a commotion outside the guard line. Li Liang frowned and asked, and after a while, a lean man with black skin was brought up. The soldiers reported that it was this guy who tried to break into the guard line.

Although the black man was supported by two arms, he said with a flattering face: "Ladies and gentlemen, lords. The small is the head of the coolies on the dock, the military masters come from afar, there must be a large number of goods to be loaded and unloaded, it is better to hand it over to the villain, the price is definitely favorable. ”

"Oh???" This man's black skin is destined to be definitely not Chinese, but he speaks a standard Beijing accent that surprised Li Liang. Far away on the other side of the world, even black people are beginning to learn Chinese???

"The general doesn't need to worry too much." Zhou Fangyan, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, came forward to explain the matter: "This person lived on the streets a few years ago and almost starved to death. When the eldest princess came to Cuba to check the accounts, she gave a bowl of rice to eat on the street, and seeing that he was honest, she took this person to move and unload at the dock to do some coolies. After the eldest princess left, this person gathered a group of black people to work as coolies on the dock in the name of the eldest princess, and the grass people and others reported the matter to the eldest princess for punishment, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess thought that if her name could live countless people, it would also be considered a merit. Since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had no intention of asking about this matter, the grass people and the others also went with him. However, this person is honest, and the grass people and others have some work on the dock to do to this person, and they are considered regular customers. Later, this person often came to the Chinese school to audit, and he learned Chinese. ”

"The emperor is wise, the eldest princess is benevolent, and it is really a blessing for me to be born at this time. That being the case, let it go. The grinning Li Liang turned his head but said sharply to the black man who was still giving up: "Bold slave, how can you borrow my Chinese royal prestige." If the name is not right, it can not be right. From today on, you are a slave under the name of the eldest princess, and you must not fall into the prestige of my Chinese royal family when you run errands here. Otherwise, even if the eldest princess is benevolent and does not pursue it, we will not be forgiven as courtiers. Got a note of? ”

The black man's face suddenly sank, do black people only have the life of being slaves wherever they are? However, he was soon relieved that it was much better to be a slave of the emperor's family than to be a slave of the slave owner. Still smiling, he said, "Write it down, write it down." Please rest assured. ”

"That's very good. Then gather the manpower and listen to Sergeant Hou's dispatch. After speaking, Li Liang left the dock under the guidance of the merchants and participated in the reception banquet held by the local chamber of commerce for the fleet.

Guantanamo, inside the Four Seas Hotel, there is a lot of laughter. Today, the Chinese Entrepreneurs Federation chartered the entire hotel to pick up the dust for the motherland fleet that came from afar. Although communications are now developed, and Cuba, which is far away on the other side of the world, can also receive newspapers with domestic circulation and know about the major events of the country and the dynasty, what you must see is black and white square words on the paper, and how can it be better than hearing the personal account of the captain who commanded the ship and experienced that magnificent naval battle......

The wine has passed three cycles, and the dishes have passed five flavors. The climax of the banquet has passed, and everyone is drunk. Only Zhou Fangyan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, still had a little confusion on his face, or worried. Today, General Li accepted the house slave for the eldest princess without authorization, and he has always been worried. As a courtier general, will such an act cause the eldest princess to be dissatisfied? It is not a blessing for the country to lose such a small matter to such an important minister of the country. After a long time, he still stood up and arched his hand: "The grass people dare to ask the general, is there something wrong with the general's move to accept the black man as the slave of the eldest princess's house on the dock today?" ”

Li Liang looked at Zhou Fangyan in surprise, and then smiled and motioned for him to sit down and speak: "No wonder President Zhou is a little absent-minded tonight, he was worried about this matter." President Zhou doesn't have to worry too much. Then Li Liang signaled all the attendants on the side to withdraw, and then explained in a low voice: "This move will actually be intentional, because this move is related to a secret policy of the imperial court, and today I will inform you of this policy." In addition to asking you to keep the secret, this matter also requires the strong cooperation of your business. ”

"General, please rest assured, I am loyal to the Chinese here, and the court will not leak it. We and other merchants do business here, thanks to the protection of the imperial court. If you use it, please speak up to the general. ”

"Today I saw the black man on the docks speaking fluent Chinese, do you know what Ben had in mind?" Li Liang stopped to look at everyone and then quietly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it: "What I would have thought of is that for hundreds of years, the indigenous people in Nanyang were instigated by foreigners to massacre our Chinese. How can such a great revenge not be avenged? Now on the Nanyang Islands, our Chinese are using the methods of foreigners in the past to repay their contempt. This law has been implemented in the Nanyang Islands for many years, and the results are remarkable, and the imperial court is intending to continue to expand the scope of implementation. However, this matter is related to the secrets of the imperial court, and it is just carried out quietly. Today, if this matter is not successful, it will not matter if the court lays a chess piece in Cuba in advance. The emperor is wise, and the eldest princess is benevolent, how can she blame her subordinates for this. ”

"No wonder the eldest princess, when she came the last time, said that she wanted us to unite all races and treat slaves with friends, and there were some secret words in the meantime. I see-" After listening to Li Liang's explanation, the merchants suddenly realized.

"Please rest assured, since we already know the strategy of the imperial court, we will implement it carefully."

"The fleet will stay here for half a month, during which time the fleet will surely do justice to you. With the deterrent power of the fleet, it will definitely be able to shake the night, and if all the merchants have something to do, they must do it as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, general, we can save it." (To be continued.) )
