Chapter Sixty-Eight: Kill Him
At the beginning of 1901, the original Boxer Rebellion in history, now known as the Boxer, appeared in Yanjing City as always, at first they were still disciplined, did not disturb the people, did not rob the people, but later with the increase in the number of people, the Boxer high-level also found that their subordinates were more and more disobedient, and they were also a little unable to control the situation, from the beginning of the people cheering to the present people are abandoned, just half a year has experienced the two heavens of heaven and hell.
On July 19, 1901, the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition still occurred, but it was only one year, one month and two days later than the historical time. On July 19, the Eight-Nation Coalition captured the Dagukou Fort.
It took less than a few hours for the incident to occur before Wang Lin knew about it, and at that time, at such a long distance, it was necessary to find out the situation and be able to send the information to Wang Lin within a few hours, which also showed that the intelligence officers were still a bit level.
Wang Lin fiercely crumpled the telegram in his hand and put it in the palm of his hand, July 19, this day, on this day, Wang Lin will write this day into history, he is not only a shame for the Chinese, but also a heartache for the great powers.
"Fuck, it's Ben again, the navy has been beaten by Lao Tzu, and now it's still coming out to follow the master's ass and messing around." Wang Lin couldn't help but burst into a foul language, because it was clearly written on the telegram that the number of soldiers exceeded 20,000, and it seemed that the devil had given him a chance in the past few years.
"Let Sa Zhenbing come to my office." Wang Lin roared loudly, he was absolutely going to stumble on Yuben, since you came to my hometown to kill, burn and loot, then I will go to your hometown to grab and kill.
Since Sa Zhenbing is the deputy chief of the navy, there is no need to stay in the navy all day, so his office is in the same place as Wang Lin, and the offices of these deputy ministers are not too far from Wang Lin's office, so it is convenient to discuss some things with each other. Of course, the guard force is also arranged seamlessly, although there is only one layer of guards, but there are more than 50 red police dogs in it, the enemy can deceive the guards, but not the red police dogs, and there are snipers hiding in the shadows, wanting to shoot cold guns in the distance? It seems that the location of the guards on this floor seems to be about a kilometer away from the office, and there are patrols inside, and the range of rifles is not up to it.
"Commander-in-Chief, are you looking for me?" Sa Zhenbing heard the newly replaced secretary beside Wang Lin say that the commander-in-chief was a little angry, and his attitude after coming was extremely low.
"How's that going for you to study a while ago?" Wang Lin glanced at Sa Zhenbing and calmed down a little.
"It's almost done." Sa Zhenbing replied calmly, but he was stunned in his heart, because he knew how terrible the things Wang Lin said? Almost half of the heavy industry and military industry in the whole country are in it, is this what is going on?
"Well, you go and prepare, and set off the morning after tomorrow to go and kill his bastard little devil for me." Wang Lin became angry again, and continued: "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard (the predecessor of Kawasaki Heavy Industries) in Kawasaki, and the Ishikawashima Shipyard, Mitsui Shipbuilding, and all the information and content I gave you, the places and units marked on it, you have to destroy it all for me, and finally you go to Tokyo Bay, force all the ships inside, don't rush in, the shore guns on both sides can still pose a threat to our small warships." The Toshiba inside must be knocked out for me. This time you go with the Pacific Fleet, you go in person. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I'll go and get ready, and I'll leave early the day after tomorrow." Sa Zhenbing didn't dare to ask why, but seeing Wang Lin making such a big fire, he also knew that something important must have happened, and let himself lead a fleet to sweep around Yuben, Sa Zhenbing Jue's task was simply a very simple task, it seemed that he was just going to see the scenery of Yuben. And the range of the main gun is as high as 29 kilometers, just ask the world, which warship is in front of our Chinese ship to load calves?
"By the way, bring more RS special ammunition when you go, and give me a hard shot in a residential area after the fight." Wang Lin suddenly remembered that if he didn't have some special effects, he would be very sorry for himself, and hurriedly called Sa Zhenbing back.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Sa Zhen still replied calmly on the ice, but deep down he was already shocked by Wang Lin's anger. What's that? The special incendiary bomb that has only been developed in the last two years only knows that it has been added with something called white phosphorus, and he doesn't know what else it is, and there is no need for experts to explain to him that this kind of shell will not have a particularly large explosive effect after it is shot, but it can ignite all combustible materials, and this RS special bomb is also a very dangerous equipment here, and it is placed alone in a warehouse with no people and trees for dozens of kilometers around, and troops are sent to strictly guard it.
Wang Lin has now moved out of this terrible thing, and it seems that he has caused a lot of trouble this time. Even Sa Zhenbing didn't feel that he pinched a cold sweat for the devil, who can't provoke you, you have to provoke Wang Lin, the evil god.
After Sa Zhenbing left, Wang Lin fell into deep contemplation again, the Eight-Nation Alliance's only action reaction to Yue Ben seemed to be able to prevent Yue Ben's actions in the next few years or even decades, but only one Yue Ben, Wang Lin had not yet put him in the position of the main opponent.
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Israel, Italy, Austria, and the eight-nation coalition, what can be done to stop them? Or even a hard kick in the back of their ass? Britain, at this time, by the way, how can you forget this stubble? The Second Boer War, in 1901, the war will not end until next year, and the time of his scheduled attack is also next year, only let the British Army be deeply involved in the South African battlefield, and in the navy, he has the confidence to slap him in the mouth, so that he can go crazy into the state of building giant ships. I don't have the energy to deal with myself, and when he builds a giant sword cannon, my side will already unify the whole country, who is afraid of whom at that time? Are you building 20,000-ton battleships as fast as me? What I have lost, have you lost again?
Yes, that's it. "Let Yuan Shikai come to my office."
The new secretary Yang Zhiping has taken over a lot of work from the previous secretary Ren Jie, and at the same time Ren Jie has not forgotten to pass on some of the most important experiences to him.
Yuan Shikai hurriedly walked to Wang Lin's office, this is the first time since he arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Wang Lin called him into his office alone, Yuan Shikai didn't know if this was an opportunity for himself, but he knew that he had to seize every opportunity, he wanted to tell Wang Lin that he was not only in the army, no matter where he was the best.
"Comfort Pavilion, how does life feel at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I've been a little too busy since then, running the army and running the navy, and then going to the Air Force and the National Defense University, and I haven't thought of you for a while, don't be angry. Wang Lin knew that these words were a little wronged by Yuan Shikai, but a diplomat didn't just do what he said, although he didn't deliberately cold Yuan Shikai during this time, he also wanted to give him time to learn diplomatic knowledge.
"What the commander-in-chief said, I'm lucky that you didn't let me go home and farm directly when I came here, not to mention that I really found out that I was quite interested in diplomatic work since these days." Yuan Shikai laughed, ignoring the depressed mood of being thrown by Wang Lin to sit on the cold bench before.
"Wei Ting, you have also studied in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than half a year, and you have some theoretical knowledge, and now I will send you a task, but I can tell you in advance that you will have to stay there for at least a year before you can come back, of course you can also refuse, I will send someone else." Wang Lin seemed to want to ask Yuan Shikai's opinion, but he didn't know that Yuan Shikai had already been enthusiastic after half a year of neglect, and he would be willing to complete any task he was given, because he had just discovered that he was not a person who liked to be idle.
"No problem, let alone a year, even if it is two more years, I am willing to go, and it is just to add some experience to my diplomatic ability." Yuan Shikai rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Hehe, Weiting, I know you don't want to stay in the office in a daze at that stack of materials, and want to go out and practice, but this task is really a bit difficult, don't forget our agreement." Wang Lin continued, in fact, this sentence is not just superficial, but also has some heartfelt concern.
"Commander-in-chief, don't persuade me, the Chinese ship, we have six warships that the British can't build at once, what about submarines? Which country has included the secret killer of submarines in the official establishment of the navy? It's just us, and we also know his power in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, and it also proves that your decision is correct, so don't mention any agreement with me now, although I have been sitting on the cold bench for half a year, but now I only say one sentence, I have been our original agreement as bullshit, no matter what will become of it then, you will always be the person I follow. Yuan Shikai said.
"Okay, since Weiting said so, then I won't beat around the bush anymore, this time we are going to do it with the British, not directly face to face, the British Army is now in the South African battlefield, and it is fighting with the Boers, but the state of the Boers is not very good now, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it for too long, so I want you to go, not only to give the Boers confidence, but also to train the army for them, give them certain weapons and equipment, I will give you two hundred instructors, you don't need to train the Boers too strong, But their land will hold the British for at least three years. Wang Lin said his plan, but he didn't say that he also had the intention of getting involved, now is not the time, and he doesn't have so much energy to take care of South Africa's affairs, so let's let the Boers and the British drag it first.
"Haha, no problem, you definitely didn't see the wrong person in this task for me." As soon as Yuan Shikai heard that it was a diplomatic and military task, he slapped his thigh with his big hand, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up and hugged Wang Lin and kissed him.
"Hehe, I'll tell you another good thing, it's your salary, and the money to buy weapons, the Boers don't have much money on the side, so they can pay directly with diamonds, and I will pay you your normal salary as usual during your mission, as well as overseas mission allowance and war allowance. As for the diamonds that the Boers gave you over there, they should be considered as extra earned, and you will send me back the weapons and equipment as they are, and they will be put in the treasury in the future. Wang Lin reminded that diamonds are a good thing, and since they go, they have to be fished out.
"Okay, no problem, see if I don't kill the British." Yuan Shikai nodded, feeling that this plan was feasible.
"Well, kill him."
