47 on the eve of the war

The waves ruthlessly washed on the hull of the warship, the sea water was splashed on the deck, and one by one the Beiyang Army, which was forced to stand on the deck because there were not enough transport ships, and some of the villagers from all over the country who were dispatched from the north, trembled slightly.

Although the weather in June is not cold, but the sea water is still very cold, you can still feel a chill on the body, in addition to the humidity on the sea, many soldiers have not yet arrived in Zhanjiang to contract fever and other symptoms, after a little rest, they board the ship again, ready to attack Hainan.

"Weiting, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that more than half of the soldiers will fall before we reach Hainan, how can we fight? Although there are a lot of those villagers, they are full of fierce men, and they don't have any combat skills at all. Duan Qirui stood in the flagship command tower and discussed with Yuan Shikai, who was standing in front of the tower to observe the situation.

"Why don't I know that? But Lafayette was urging me to send two or three telegrams a day urging me to exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, and then save a lot of money to prepare for Lafayette's birthday this year. Zhiquan, let me tell you a word of confidant, in fact, I am not willing to send people under the fence, but now I am weak, do I have any financial resources, I really have to follow Cixi's old lady, this time I came to see how the situation on the other side is, is it what we heard, if they have financial support, and are willing to support us, then what does it matter if I let Yuan Shikai follow them? Yuan Shikai looked at the soldiers below who were suffering from cold damage, and there was a faint pain in his heart, which were all elites he had trained with great difficulty.

"Weiting, in fact, I have long seen that you are unwilling to send people under the fence, but I can't help it, because I am not a rich man, and I can support the consumption of your tens of thousands of troops. But can you really give up your ideals and abandon your current moral kingship and defect to the rebel array? Duan Qirui reminded him with great concern that he and Yuan Shikai were old friends, so he naturally didn't want to see him take any step in a panic.

"Everyone is Han Chinese, who wants to be walked on the street by the name of this Manchu lackey? As long as I can restore the power of my Han family, what does it matter if I work under him? Yuan Shikai continued.

"It's okay for the soldiers and junior officers below to say that they can still be used when the time comes, but what about these high-ranking officers? Do you think people will use us? Duan Qirui continued.

"It's his business to use it or not, it's a big deal for me to return to my hometown, if someone does a better job than me, then why should I go to this already bruised nation?" The words were closed, Yuan Shikai looked at Hainan not far away, although he couldn't see the coastline yet, but his heart had flown there, if it was really the same as what he heard, then he would go to the past, if not, it would be the same as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom decades ago, then he would not hesitate to destroy them.

"Report that the Beiyang Fleet has set off at 8 o'clock this morning after meeting with the Nanyang Naval Division, and it is expected to arrive at the scheduled battlefield in another three hours, and our submarine is following them behind to monitor, and everything is normal at present." After translating the contents of the telegram, the communications corpsmen immediately reported it, and his professional knowledge and professional ethics made him understand that any telegram passing through his hands could be a military plane or a fighter plane, so there was absolutely no delay.

"Whose submarine is tracking?" Wang Lin nodded, everything was still under control, and continued to ask.

"Wenchang's 094 and Liu Zhifang's 096, they dived into the waters around Zhanjiang last night, and they have been tracking them underwater as soon as they set off this morning." Navy Commander Zhang Wuchang replied.

"Well, tell the two of them that no one is allowed to surface or launch an attack until they receive an order, even if the Beiyang side lands." Wang Lin thought for a moment.

"Yes!"

"Tell the troops on every beachhead, let them put up the five-star red flag, if the Beiyang side wants to surrender, then let them concentrate on the beach, not cross the line by half a step, and then notify me." Wang Lin continued, whether this trick can work depends on whether Wang Wei impressed them last time.

Although Wang Lin's influence was involved in the Wang Wei incident, Wang Lin's order was indeed to float after the end of the war, and to make sure that the other side could clearly see the signs of his side and dive, rather than staying on the water for a few minutes after the attack, and not diving until the other party was shot and sunk.

In everyone's impression, Wang Wei must be unable to escape death this time, and even Wang Wei himself knows this, because he has memorized the military regulations before, and after carefully checking the military regulations, he found the mistakes he made, and compared them in detail. When he judged that he would be sentenced to death, Wang Wei not only did not give up on himself, but on the contrary, he used the few days he had to wait for the verdict to write down his experience and experience, and handed it over to the captain and first mate who became the captain and first mate at the same time, and told the other party to keep in mind to avoid making mistakes like himself again and walking on the same road as himself.

In the end, the result of the trial came down, and the result was very unexpected, Wang Wei could not keep his life but could not keep staying in the active front-line troops, and was transferred by Wang Lin to the soon-to-be-established National Defense University, and the task was to find out the various operational mistakes in the navy, and then explain them in detail to the officers who came to study. Although this task made Wang Wei may never be able to board a submarine to fight again in his life, he was willing, and he would rather sacrifice his original ideals and aspirations to find more mistakes for his navy, so that they could constantly improve themselves and make contributions in the future battlefield.

At this time, Wang Wei, after being nurtured by Wang Lin, is still stepping up the writing of military law textbooks, waiting for the National Defense University, which will begin preparations after the end of this war. The instructors in the National Defense University are all senior Red Police officers, and their task is not as simple as teaching, but they are responsible for each taking two officers selected from the army and teaching them the duties and skills as instructors before leaving.

The time for the war is approaching little by little, and the soldiers on the beachhead are also beginning to appear to varying degrees of tension, although there have been battles before, but it is not a scale at all, and now the other side is only a new army with 10,000, and tens of thousands of villagers, although the combat effectiveness is not very good, at least it is also a soldier, and there are weapons, and most importantly, they are about to go to war with their nominal motherland.

At this moment, tall five-star red flags were erected in front of each position, and they could be seen clearly from miles away, and the soldiers did not know what this was, and they all thought that it was their battle flag.
