Chapter 219: Departure for Japan

Therefore, Ren Chao also planned to find Li Hongzhang again when he was bored, not to mention that the Jiaolong fleet had already left Shandong at this time. Today's Jiaolong fleet has seven main warships, including one battleship and six cruisers, with a total tonnage of more than 30,000 tons, and all of them are the latest warships. Even without the assistance of the Beiyang Naval Division, Ren Chao was sure to defeat the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet. On the day Ren Chao came to Jiaoao, he ordered the main force of the Jiaolong fleet to go to sea and go to Japan to find an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Japanese combined fleet. The Jiaolong fleet had been waiting for this order for not a day or two, and it had already been impatient, and the next day after receiving the order, it left Weihaiwei Port and sailed directly to Japan.

Ren Chao casually put the telegram sent by the imperial court on the table, and said casually, "I know, you go down first!" ”

"Dashuai, do you want to call back to the court?" The officer asked tentatively.

"Call back, my Jiaolong Fleet and the Tiger Ben Army obey the order." Ren Chao said casually.

"Yes, what about Li Zhongtang?" The officer then asked.

"Wait!" Ren Chao said casually.

"Yes!" The officer replied respectfully and withdrew.

Ren Chao thought about it, then stood up and walked out, just arrived at the door and was about to meet Niu Kaixuan, who had just returned from sending a telegram, "Dashuai, where are you going again?" ”

"Go to Weihai!" Ren Chao said casually.

"Go now?" Niu Kaixuan asked with a frown.

"Of course, is there any problem?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask.

"No problem, no problem at all!" Niu Kaixuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'll go and order someone to prepare." ”

Niu Kaixuan ordered someone to clean up, and then escorted Ren Chao to Weihai. At this time, the general of the Tiger Ben Army stationed in Weihai was Wang Jing, Wang Jing really didn't expect that he had just returned from Jiaoao, and Ren Chao chased him.

"Dashuai, why are you here?" Wang Jing asked in surprise.

"What? Not welcome? Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Nope. No! I was overjoyed, and I didn't know what to say for a moment. Wang Jing scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm here to ask you, how is the training of the Marines?" Ren Chao said straight to the point.

"After more than a month of training, the 2,000 marines selected from various armies have fully possessed combat capability, and they can all go to the battlefield as soon as the commander gives an order." Wang Jing said confidently.

"Good!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, "Wait until the Jiaolong fleet comes back." Then you went to sea with the dragon fleet. ”

"Really?" Wang Jing's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of excitement, "Please rest assured, this time we will land in Japan to fight, and we will definitely kill the little devils, directly capture their bullshit capital Tokyo, capture their emperor, and let him kneel in front of the marshal and beg for mercy." ”

"Alright, alright! Don't fucking brag, 2,000 people will take Tokyo. You think you're all superhumans! Ren Chao waved his hand angrily, interrupting Wang Jing's obscenity.

"Don't you fight Tokyo?" Wang Jing asked suspiciously.

"Tokyo is going to fight, but when is it going to be fought, and it's not yet decided. Let you go this time, there are other tasks. I'll tell you about it! The new equipment for you will be delivered in the next two days, you can use this time to familiarize yourself with it, and don't drop the chain for me at a critical moment. Ren Chao said casually.

"Yes, please rest assured." When Wang Jing heard this, he would not fight Tokyo for the time being. It is inevitable to be a little disappointed, "Dashuai, this little devil just doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, if he doesn't take Tokyo." The emperor who captured them alive will not surrender to us obediently. ”

"I know, but do you think it's really that easy to conquer Japan?" Ren Chao frowned and said, "How many troops do we have now, but only 30,000 people, the Japanese have tens of millions of people, even if people stand there and don't move, let you kill, you may not be able to kill it in a year." So it's useless to be in a hurry for this kind of thing, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, everything has to come step by step, and the most important thing for us at present is to enhance our own strength. As long as we have strong strength, Japan will not be able to capture it at that time. ”

Wang Jing frowned and pondered for a while, then muttered to himself, "What the big marshal said seems to be very reasonable!" ”

"What do you mean? What Lao Tzu says is the truth. Ren Chao said angrily.

"Yes, yes, what the marshal said is the truth, and it was a mistake of the tongue that he said the wrong thing." Wang Jing hurriedly said with a smile on his face.

"Alright, don't talk about these useless things." Ren Chao waved his hand to interrupt Wang Jing, who was about to continue patting his ass, and then asked, "Have all the forts been repaired?" ”

"It's basically been repaired, but I think that this Weihaiwei will be our naval base in the future, and the current protection force still seems to be a little weak, should we build some more batteries?" Wang Jing hurriedly put away his smiling face and said with a stern face.

"This is indeed necessary." Ren Chao nodded in agreement, but then frowned, "It's just that there have been too many things recently, and the little devils have not been completely defeated externally, and there has been a disaster of Yan zhòng inside." Money is needed to fight wars, and money is needed for disaster relief. This matter can only be put aside for a while, and we will talk about it later! "Ren Chao is also very helpless now, although Ren Chao wiped out the Second Army of the Japanese Army before and earned a lot of points, but there are more places to spend points, and this point is not enough to make ends meet. The points earned by killing enemies alone are no longer enough to satisfy the growing Tiger Army. Fortunately, there is not only one way to earn system points, after having his own territory, Ren Chao has two more ways to earn points, one is that according to the size of the territory, Ren Chao will get a fixed point subsidy every month. Another way is to get points through the guò people's heart system, which is more complicated. To put it simply, the more people on Ren Chao's territory, the higher the people's support for Ren Chao, and the more points Ren Chao can get. The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, so for Ren Chao now, winning the hearts of the people is undoubtedly quite important.

Wang Jing was inevitably a little disappointed, if these people usually encountered any difficulties, they would directly find Ren Chao to solve them, and how could they understand Ren Chao's difficulties! But since Ren Chao said it, this matter can only be put aside for the time being.

Ren Chao stayed in Weihai for two days, just by the way to inspect the local garrison, and then Ren Chao left Weihai. Ren Chao did not go back to Jiaoao, but went back to Jinan directly. The disaster relief matter is also imminent and waiting for Ren Chao to deal with it, but this matter is simple and simple, as long as there is food, anything can be done. Ren Chao first sent a batch of food emergency to the system, and at the same time really sent people to Nanyang to purchase grain, as long as he insisted on the summer harvest this year, it was easy to say, and there were still a few months left.
