Zhang Zhidong has arrived in Hainan safely under the protection of a platoon of soldiers, looking at the 30,000-ton battleship moored in the military port, Zhang Zhidong can't believe that this is true, Zhang Zhidong, who was originally a Westernist, still understands some things outside, at first he just heard that Wang Lin's army defeated the British Far East Fleet, but he didn't expect it to be true, until Zhang Zhidong saw these 30,000-ton Chinese ships with his own eyes before he understood, It turned out that Wang Lin's naval ship technology had stood at the pinnacle of the world.

"Lord Zhang, welcome to Hainan." Today, Wang Lin did not wear his own general uniform, but a very ordinary dress.

"Old man Zhang Zhidong, you must be Commander Wang Linwang, right?" Although Zhang Zhidong said that he was old and powerful, he felt that this son was definitely not ordinary when he saw Wang Lin for the first time after coming here, and there was a huge gap between his style of work and this person's age, so he lowered his mentality in the first time, and did not treat him as a junior, of course, this is not that Zhang Zhidong wants to please Wang Lin, but Zhang Zhidong feels that Wang Lin has the ability to save the descendants of Huaxia to respect him.

"In front of Lord Zhang, how dare the juniors be called commanders? Mr. Zhang, please put it? Let's go to my office and talk a little bit about it. Wang Lin replied with a little modesty, treating this kind of respected old-timer, no matter who he is or what he has done, as long as Wang Lin thinks that he has made contributions to the Chinese nation, he will take it very seriously.

"Commander Wang, can you let me take a second look at this battleship?" Zhang Zhidong pointed to the Chinese ship docked at another berth.

"Of course you can, but it's better to look at it here." After closing the words, Wang Lin led Zhang Zhidong alone to board the Zhonghua ship, and explained while watching: "This kind of battleship is developed and built by ourselves, and it is positioned as a Chinese-class battleship, and so far six have been built, three in service in the Pacific Fleet and three in the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the one we are in now is the 106th ship, which is also called the Yang Guoyu ship, which is named after the most outstanding soldier on this ship."

The normal displacement of the Zhonghua-class battleship is 28,000 tons, the full load displacement is 31,000 tons, the total length is 190 meters, the width is 27 meters, the draft is 9.2 meters, and the maximum speed can reach 21.5 knots. A total of eight twin 381-mm guns, i.e. 15-inch, 16 6-inch 45-caliber secondary guns, were also armed with two 76-mm guns, and four 533-mm torpedo tubes. ”

"Good ships, if they are really good ships, if the Qing Dynasty has these ships, why worry about the great powers looking around?" After Zhang Zhidong visited the deck, he listened to Wang Lin's introduction and kept clapping and applauding, and sighed with emotion.

"Lord Zhang, what kind of virtue is Manren, I don't think you should know it without me saying it, right? Here I will treat you as a predecessor to say these words to you, in fact, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Manchu Qing should have entered the reincarnation of history, although the Manchu Qing barely supported, but it also sounded the countdown to the demise of the Manchu Qing, so many years have passed, what the Manchus have done You know. The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, do you really think that the Beiyang Fleet won the battle? Wang Lin stood on the deck, held the baffle with one hand and lit a cigarette, and said slowly.

"Oh? So the news that came back from the Beiyang Fleet back then was fake? Or did the main force of the Navy not appear at all? Did they make it all up themselves? Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but be surprised, there have been more and more rumors about the First Sino-Japanese War over the years, although he knew that the rumors outside were not credible, but he felt that what Wang Lin said should be true.

"The main fleet of the Beiyang Navy appeared, and all of them were wiped out, but it was fought by my navy, and the Beiyang Navy was watching the battle on the side, and the main battleships of the Beiyang Navy were in disrepair, and whether they could fight or not was one thing, not to mention that in order to deduct the navy's expenses, it had reached the point of mixing sand in the shells, and at that time Ding Ruchang was seriously injured, did you really think it was because the flagship control tower was hit by the artillery of the combined fleet? That's because the main gun exploded, blowing up the flagship bridge, and Ding Ruchang fell from it and was seriously injured. Wang Lin took a heavy puff of his cigarette and continued: "And last year's Eight-Nation Coalition incident, didn't you receive a little news?" If it weren't for the fact that I sent warships to bomb the mainland and force them to withdraw, do you think the powers would have left so easily? ”

"It's really reasonable to hear you say this, but I can tell you the truth now, I don't want to care about your affairs with the court, how to fight, which step you can fight depends on your own intentions, as for the disobedient officials below, you can deal with it as you want, I won't tell them to fully cooperate with you, anyway, I'm not too young, it's time to retire and go home to farm, and now I can only do this step." Zhang Zhidong shook his head, as an official, how could he mutiny so easily? I don't want to see the court disappear like this, and I don't want to see the hope of a nation disappear like this. What Zhang Zhidong can do is only ignore it and let it develop.

Wang Lin nodded, he could understand Zhang Zhidong's feelings, as a court that had been loyal all his life, it was indeed very difficult for him to completely defect for a while, if it was Wang Lin, he would not be able to do it, even if he was disappointed in the upper position, he would not defect so easily. What's more, because of Wang Lin, the historical indemnity of the First Sino-Japanese War, the indemnity of the Eight-Nation Alliance, etc., are gone, and the people still have some hope for the imperial court, if it were not for Wang Lin to take back Hong Kong and defeat the British fleet, I believe that Wang Lin's current fame will not be as big as it is now, and his status in the hearts of the people is at most another Hong Xiuquan.

Wang Lin and Zhang Zhidong were about to get off the ship, and there was a sudden unquiet vibration on the sea, and the warship was slowly shaking with the impact of the seawater, this situation was a little different from the past, even if there was a typhoon landfall in Pingli, the impact here would not be as it is now, because the establishment of the military port was to choose a safe harbor, and at the same time suitable for naval operations. Wang Lin could feel that the earth was trembling and the sea was roaring.

Wang Lin was depressed about what had happened, and saw Xiao Jin hurriedly running over and said: "Commander-in-chief, it's an earthquake, in the northwest direction, if it's Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, the magnitude of the earthquake should not be big, and if it's Tibetan Province, Qinghai, and Sichuan, it's very dangerous." ”

Earthquake? Wang Lin quickly searched in his mind for any major earthquakes that occurred at this time in history, mainly because of the Sichuan earthquake, after that incident, Wang Lin intentionally or unintentionally flipped through the major earthquakes that had occurred in China since 1900. Where did the earthquake happen in 1902? Wang Lin searched hard in his head, and after a few minutes of reminiscence, Wang Lin finally remembered that in August 1902, an 8.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in the north of Artush in Xinjiang Province.

"Is it Xinjiang Province?" Wang Lin hurriedly asked Xiao Jin. The only geological expert around Wang Lin belongs to Xiao Jin, and the reliability is also very high.

"No, if it was Xinjiang Province, the tremor would not be so strong in our place." Xiao Jin said with great certainty.

Could it be??? Earthquakes aren't supposed to change because of the butterfly effect, right? Wang Lin asked silently in his heart, according to Xiao Jin, he has now vaguely guessed whether there was an earthquake in Sichuan, if so, then the situation is bad, the road condition is far from being as good as in later generations, even if it is damaged, he can drive for a while, what about now? Asphalt road? Stop dreaming, you can't even find a cement one.

"Tell Huang Wei to immediately arrange for two An-225 and two An-124 to go to Sichuan to check the situation, as fast as possible, and take pictures of the situation there for me to bring back, so that no one will find out." Wang Lin roared a little hurriedly. The An-225 and An-124 are transport planes that can fly tens of thousands of meters high, although they are not professional reconnaissance planes this time, but there should be no problem in carrying precision instruments to take a few photos at an altitude of 10,000 meters, not to mention that at an altitude of 10,000 meters, even if they can hear the sound, do they still want to find out with the naked eye? There is no radar in this world at present, and Wang Lin has already changed those transport planes to light blue, although it is not the best, it is much more secret than black and other bright colors.

Sichuan shouldn't really be so unlucky, right? In later generations, Wang Lin had already experienced such a pain, but he didn't expect that he would make the people of Sichuan suffer again after crossing over to the end of the Qing Dynasty? In his previous life, because Wang Lin was not wealthy, but he also donated 500 oceans at that time, but he didn't expect to learn later that their donation was likely to be taken by someone to buy a car, and Wang Lin was furious and vowed never to donate Dayang to any institution in the future, unless he handed it directly to the beneficiary.

If so, what's next? According to the maximum speed calculation of the An-225 and An-124, flying to Sichuan is a matter of hours, and during this time, Wang Lin has to make all preparations and wait for the real situation to come back.

"I'm sorry Lord Zhang, I have something to do, and someone will arrange your accommodation later." Wang Lin hurriedly said something to Zhang Zhidong, who was standing there in a daze, then turned around and ran back.

An-225? Ann-124? Immediately to Sichuan? Could this be the code name of their troops? Why is it so weird? But I haven't heard of any troops named after it, is it a secret weapon? Yunnan is on the edge of Sichuan, and there are also Wang Lin's troops there, so why not just send troops over to take a look? What's more, how did Wang Lin know that there must have been an earthquake in Sichuan? A series of doubts kept appearing in Zhang Zhidong's mind, and he kept asking, but there was no serious answer. Looking at Wang Lin who was gradually moving away, Zhang Zhidong seemed to see in him the high-spirited time when he was young, he originally planned to come to meet this person known as the commander-in-chief, first shocked by his youth, and then scared by his strength, Zhang Zhidong, who planned to wipe his neck after seeing it, now has a plan to stay in Hainan to see the follow-up development.

"Immediately order the troops to report what is going on there, and at the same time order them to cease all military operations." Wang Lin said to the guards behind him, these guards usually serve as bodyguards, but also serve as some other positions in emergencies, such as correspondents and so on.

"Send a telegram to Tang Zhiyun and ask him to call all the Chinese and foreign reporters for me in Guangzhou, prepare a press conference, and wait until the An-225 investigation comes back, and I will go to Guangzhou." Wang Lin continued.

"Tell Li Sicheng, director of the Social Security Department, to stop all foreign aid, including Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian. Collect all the materials sent to the six provinces, transport them all to Yunnan, Hunan, and Guizhou, let all the tank regiments assemble in Hunan, attack Guizhou from the east with all their might, let the troops of the central line fully cooperate, attack Guizhou with all their strength from the south, and attack Guizhou with all their strength from the west. Wang Lin is more like a cannon, at the moment all the roads into Sichuan only Guizhou has not been opened, or it can be said that there is no fight at all, this time to send so many troops to take him, in addition to using it as a gathering point for transporting supplies, it is to recover a province while disaster relief.

"Xiaoxi, you go and open the warehouse, order the 1012 Brigade, 1013 Brigade and 1014 Brigade to all go and fill up the supplies and wait for the order." Wang Lin thought for a moment and continued: "Let the Ministry of Finance prepare five hundred tons of gold in case of emergency. "Now Wang Lin doesn't have too much silver and pounds and other currencies in his hands, the only thing that can be used globally is gold, and there are more things to do in addition to buying food on a large scale, and Wang Lin didn't know what he was going to do for a while, once he entered the disaster relief, it was impossible for the troops to carry weapons into it, and it was very likely to be attacked by the Qing army.
