Chapter 262: Decision
If it weren't for the continuous pumping of more than a dozen pumps to pump out the seawater pouring into the compartment, this battleship with a standard displacement of more than 20,000 tons would have sunk into the cold and dark deep sea, but at this moment half of the pumps have failed, and the Suidong ship can no longer hold on, and has sunk down to a degree that can be seen with the naked eye.
"Your Excellency Duke, wash the battleship up the shoal and run aground."
Wu Xiaoliang saw that the Suidong ship was irretrievable, and said to Petrov,
"Yes, Your Excellency." Petrov followed the order, the whole ship was added, and rushed straight to the coast,
This young Chinese general actually understands that in this case, in order to avoid completely sinking into the sea to increase losses, and forcibly use the warship to run aground, he still underestimated him, Petrov secretly commented in his heart, of course he couldn't know, Wu Xiaoliang often read magazines such as "Ship Knowledge" in his previous life, and had read articles about US ships being forcibly stranded in the shallows to reduce losses because they were accidentally injured by friendly forces during training.
The Suidong ship finally swept up to the shallows with an 18-knot voyage, forcibly ran aground on the coast, and fought with the surging sea water that poured into the cabin for an hour, and finally collapsed to the ground gasping for breath, and finally avoided the fate of sinking into the sea.
The naval battle was won, the price was only a battleship snatched from the Japanese and sunk to the coast, without waiting for everyone to cheer for victory, Wu Xiaoliang called all the senior officers of the headquarters for a meeting, there was only one topic, it was imperative to attack the Japanese army in Temple Street, but once the Japanese army was defeated, how the Suidong Army got along with Malinovsky's Soviet Russian army became a big problem,
Most people in the Suidong Army hate the Soviet Russian army and are even stronger than the Japanese army, but there are also some people who believe that the balance of power between the two countries in Siberia should be balanced, so that the Suidong army can profit from it.
"Our army is currently understaffed, and it is easy to take down the territory, but how to hold it in the environment surrounded by foreign powers is the biggest problem we face." A senior staff officer was the first to say that in his opinion, it was unwise for a rash and impulsive act to be one's head, and because of the support of the chief of staff, he spoke extremely hard.
The people who thought that Malinovsky should be wiped out were Zhang Liangzuo, director of the fleet's political department, who was originally appointed as the deputy captain of the Suidong as the director of the fleet's political department, and Chen Shiying took over the post of deputy captain, but the Suidong ship was temporarily sent to battle, and Chen Shiying was unfamiliar with all aspects of personnel, so he was temporarily left in Vladivostok to preside over the combat training of the rest of the gunboats.
Zhang Liangzuo was temporarily arrested and exercised the duties of Chen Shiying to lead the Chinese sailors on the ship, both of which were not what he was good at, when he was first appointed deputy captain, Zhang Liangzuo was still a landlubber, and he had just learned to swim before going to war, not to mention commanding sailors, and Wu Xiaoliang's political work was actually a combination of the responsibilities of the later political committee members and the director of the political department, and he had the right to veto military decisions, and he was also responsible for the propaganda and defense of the entire fleet. The most important one is to publicize the guiding ideology initially established by the Suidong Army, recover the lost territory, and resist foreign aggression.
During the period of the Republic of China, where there was starvation everywhere and famine perennial, not to mention the emptiness of this guiding ideology and the lack of public opinion base, even Zhang Liangzuo, the director of the political department, was a little ignorant, let alone the vast number of soldiers, so he used the military authority of the director of the political department to compete with Petrov, the commander of the temporary fleet.
And at this military meeting, he was originally excluded from the meeting according to his duties, but due to the special period, so the naval personnel were also among the participants, which gave him the opportunity to fully swing, although he was the least qualified in the Suidong Army, a few months ago he was even just a bandit-like armed leader in the old forests of Siberia, half a year ago he was even a miner digging coal under the deep pit roadway, and later in the battle of Vladivostok he was vigorously promoted by Wu Xiaoliang and became a senior commander in the Suidong Army, but, This qiē experience seems to have prompted him to make amazing progress, so that all the tasks assigned to him by Wu Xiaoliang were completed beautifully and perfectly.
In the words of Tantai Jize, Zhang Liangzuo is no longer Wuxia Ameng,
"Lao Maozi killed so many of our brothers, how to calculate this account, it's not impossible to cooperate, at least you have to pay off all the debts you owe, otherwise our Suidong Army is still a man, say it and make people laugh."
It is true that from the perspective of the international situation, it is the best policy to engage in multi-party checks and balances of forces, but the situation of the Suidong Army is the opposite of the military's aspirations, and ignoring this issue involving the foundation of the Suidong Army is the fatal mistake in his theory.
But if he didn't do this, Japan and Russia would be the enemies of the Suidong Army in the future, he didn't say anything, but continued to ponder this difficult question.
Zhang Liangzuo's policy of settling accounts first and then cooperating actually coincides with Wu Xiaoliang's idea, Temple Street must be withdrawn, but on the issue of time, he does not advocate such a hurry, there is no fat man who eats in one bite, Suidong Army is so eager to expand, in the face of the backlash and pressure of all forces will also increase exponentially, thinking of this, he cleared his throat and prepared to end this controversy, as soon as he turned his head and saw Fang Qidao bowing his head and fiddling with the pen in his hand, his heart moved and said:
"Brother Zhizhi, tell me your opinion, you, the chief of staff, can't help but express your position."
Fang Qidao heard Wu Xiaoliang mention himself, then put down the tap pen that he had been playing with, he was no longer the hot-blooded young man who shouted and shouted to kill, although it was only a few years, but several wars between the north and the south, especially Fu Zuoyi's experience after the rebellion, has trained him to be extremely inconsistent with his age, after several confrontations at the venue, he has seen that Wu Xiaoliang is inclined to recover Temple Street and drive away Malinovsky, but obviously he does not approve of hasty action, After seeing this common point, he decided to support Wu Xiaoliang's idea, which was the most beneficial to the Suidong Army.
"Lao Maozi's account is unquestionable, it must be calculated, but the time is sooner or later, we have to wait for the most favorable opportunity for the Suidong Army, at present, Japan and Russia are competing again is a great opportunity for our fishermen to benefit, it would be a pity to miss it, so, my attitude is to resolutely support the settlement of accounts with Lao Maozi, but not now, how the most important Suidong Army is to gain a foothold in this place."
Fang Qidao said here and looked around the venue, some people nodded, some people tilted their heads in contemplation, so he continued: "Now that the naval battle with Japan has just ended, and the 6th Army will fight again, these will sooner or later incur their crazy retaliation, but if the Russians contain it, the situation will be much more favorable to the Suidong Army, and we will be able to act here with ease." ”
