Chapter 312: Seeing and Hearing
A few years ago, the North-Eastern Autonomous Region was the dream of Vasilyevich, who, as a member of the Skobelev regiment, wanted to appear here in the role of a conqueror. In the face of the dynasty in the south that was decaying enough to keep up, he cut the flesh and bones from its body and contributed to the Russian Empire. However, the world is impermanent, and no one could have imagined that God would not favor the Russian Empire, but would give glory to this pagan kingdom. So the drama of the conqueror was not staged, but he changed his role and became a traitor, which is somewhat ironic. However, this is not a good thing, especially at the moment of setting foot on the land of Yingkou, the northeast is thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and this rich scene left a deep impression on Vasilyevich.
Today's Yingkou, with the rise of Shengjing, Dalian, Anshan, Benxi, Fushun, Changchun, Qiqihar, Harbin, Vladivostok, and even central cities such as Seoul, Busan, and Yakutsk, has gradually retreated to a second-tier city. However, it is still the academic and economic center of Northeast China, with the best universities, the strongest conglomerates, and the richest cultural life in Northeast China.
Although Vasilyevich himself did not pay attention to the bits and pieces of civilian life, the scenes along the way still left a deep impression on him. However, none of these can compare to the scene he saw in Yingkou Harbor.
The accompanying interpreter's name is Wang Han, who is very young and easy-going, and always has a smile on his face. Vasilyevich felt good about this colleague who would work together in the future, he did not have the old and ignorant impression of the Qing people, he had the short hair that is now fashionable in the Northeast, and more importantly, this young man did not have the slightest hostility towards his own soldiers, even if most of them were ethnic Russians who were once hostile. When they first met, Vasilyevich was a little puzzled by the other party's approachability, but after thinking about it carefully, he roughly figured out what it was like. With the strength of today's Northeast, how can he still care about the defeat of his former subordinates. As far as Vasilyevich's men are concerned, now they are only at the brigade level, and the logistics are in the hands of the Northeast, and if they really want to rebel, the insurance team has the confidence to kill them in a few days. Moreover, in the Northeast Insurance Corps, the surrendered troops were not only included in the Vasilyevich brigade, but there were three divisions and regiments dominated by Cossack cavalry. In terms of scale, Vasilyevich's brigade is not yet on the list.
Seeing this future boss staring at the huge figure in the port, Wang Han smiled and said, "Brigade Commander, are you curious about that big guy?" ”
Vasilyevich smiled, in his position, there are some things that are not easy to ask too much.
"That is the future flagship of our Northeast Navy, and it is said that it will be ready for deployment next year. The standard displacement was more than 20,000 tons, the caliber of the gun reached 15 inches, and the speed was 24 knots. He is the heart and soul of our naval commander Shang Yi! A little more than a year ago, we clashed with the British in Africa, and it was then that they learned of the big guy in front of them and finally chose to settle the matter, and agreed to cede most of Zimbabwe to us. ”
Wang Han's tone was full of pride, but what he said, Vasilyevich really heard of it for the first time.
While the two were talking, a person came in front of them, and when he saw Vasilyevich, he gave a military salute, and then said: "Excuse me, is it the commander of the 3rd Special Warfare Infantry Brigade, Vasilyevich?" ”
After Wang Han's translation, Vasilyevich nodded and said, "It's really down, may I ask who you are?" ”
"My name is Han Fang and I am the driver of Ningdo. Come with me, three! ”
The reason why there are three of them is because with Vasilyevich's current status, it is naturally impossible for him to be the old brother alone when he goes out. In addition to the translator Wang Han, there was also an orderly, this young man named Kutuzov.
Following the Han in front of him to the outside of the military port, although Vasilyevich did not speak, Kutuzov asked Wang Han in a low voice at this time: "Sir Wang, that ...... Where are we going? ”
"Ningdao."
Kutuzov obviously didn't know what kind of place Ning Island was, so he just frowned.
Wang Han explained to him and said, "This is the residence of Wang Yi, the supreme commander of our insurance team. ”
"So, we can see Wang Yi?" The name of Wang Yi Kutuzov is still known, and in the Russian Empire, this person is the number one person in folklore Satan, Alexander III and those Russian nobles who want to get rid of him, and he is the sworn enemy of the whole country.
"It's hard to say if you can see it, but our boss should be able to see it." Wang Han replied with a smile.
For this answer, Kutuzov was somewhat disappointed. The big devil is in front of him, although now that his identity has changed, he has become a soldier of the Northeast Insurance Team, but after all, it is a blessing in life to be able to meet this big man who makes the tsar hate him.
While the two were muttering, a strange carriage appeared in front of several people.
"Sir Wang, why is this carriage not worthy of horses?"
Vasilyevich also did not know what was going on at hand, and although he did not interject, he listened carefully.
"It's not a horse-drawn carriage, it's a car...... How so? It's a vehicle that doesn't need to be pulled to run fast! "Wang Han is a senior translator from Dashang, and he still knows the principle of automobiles. Nowadays, Wang Yi also changes to cars when he goes to various places on weekdays, so there are not a few people in the Northeast who have seen cars. It's just that with Kutuzov's cultural level, Wang Han really can't come up with an explanation that can make him understand, so he can only send him away in the vernacular.
"This car cannot be mass-produced yet, so at present, only Ningdao and senior officials above the government ministerial level are equipped with it, in addition, several high-level business groups and famous academic experts in the northeast region have also given places. However, I believe that in the near future, after the Dashang Automobile Factory is put into operation, our brigade will also have corresponding military vehicles for supply. ”
"Then I'm going to learn how to drive a car." Kutuzov wistful.
Because oil exploration and processing have been opened in the northeast and other places in Panjin, it is not uncommon to see oil roads. The car runs smoothly and is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Kutuzov looked out through the window, while Vasilyevich closed his eyes slightly, wondering what kind of changes the car would bring to the war if it appeared on the battlefield.
While driving, Wang Han and the driver Han Fang chatted and talked about the latest news of Dashang.
On the way to Ningdao, Vasilyevich was somewhat apprehensive, not knowing what kind of situation he would face.
