Chapter 242: It's Close
Emperor Taisho shouted in a hurried tone: "Don't be in a hurry, don't ...... you"
He doesn't want the temple to fall immediately at this moment, at least after the domestic riots are quelled, otherwise a mess will be handed over to the successor, the domestic situation is already bloodless and cannot be solved, after they violently purge the domestic order, it is equivalent to losing public opinion, then the successor in the temple is likely to become an excessive cabinet again, he has a premonition that his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and there is no ambition to be carried out, there is no time to wait endlessly,
The outcome of the Imperial Council was extremely dissatisfying to several important ministers, and although Emperor Taisho had lost trust in the temple, he still protected him at the last moment and asked him to settle domestic disputes as much as possible.
The temple was flattered by the emperor's protection, and he couldn't understand why His Majesty had lost trust in him, but he didn't follow the wishes of the ministers to hold him accountable as a cabinet minister.
On the way back, he was worried, suddenly remembering the riots that had spread throughout the country, and suddenly thinking of the Siberian fiasco, his mind was in chaos, and when he returned home, Matsumoto Tsuyoshi had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Your Excellency Terauchi, whether General Otani's trip is going to be delayed, the 6th Army Department has already put heavy pressure on him, and at this moment he seems to have wavered and sided with them."
The temple is desolate, now the betrayal of relatives, there is a sense that the building will fall, he looked at the warm-blooded Matsumoto in front of him, his heart was inexplicably moved, in the end, only his most disoptimistic hot-blooded boy was still standing beside him, and the old eyes that had dried up for many years couldn't help but moisten a little,
"The country of China has officially rejected the note of the Empire."
……
The cabin on the bottom floor of the Hanoi was already dead, and at night, the Suidong Army opened the sealed bottom hatch and the sealed door of the water compartment, and the suffocating smoke burst out of the face, choking out the soldiers who had rushed inside.
Li Zejun was deeply shocked, the idea of the Japanese soldier was really vicious, in such a situation, there were no big living people in the cabin at the bottom of the ship, even if there were flies and mosquitoes, there would be no half of them left, and he ordered someone to open the vent and speed up the release of the smoke inside, and an hour later, the soldiers swarmed in,
There are very few Japanese sailors alive, and very few people have escaped with their lives, according to Li Zejun's meaning, but Wu Xiaoliang is not, he immediately ordered the military doctor to rescue, and he must say that the lives of the survivors are saved, for Wu Xiaoliang's actions, Li Zejun can't figure it out anyway, first he treats the prisoners preferentially, and the treatment is even better than that of the soldiers of the Suidong Army, and then he rescues the dying Japanese sailors, and finally he attributes Wu Xiaoliang's behavior to his soft-heartedness,
In the early morning of the next day, the Hanoi was dragged into the harbor by a tugboat, looking at the mighty and majestic warship towering in the harbor, and the metal dissipating the beauty of this industry in the sun, Wu Xiaoliang was excited, but Wu Xiaoliang did not appreciate it for long, he had many more important things than appreciating the warship today, and hurriedly got into the carriage and went straight to the private residence of Duke Petrov,
Since the second time the Suidong army rescued Vladivostok, Petrov has completely lost the right to control the city, and he is happy to do so, rest and have fun all day long, he doesn't have to do anything, the city government should give him a lot of salary, why not, in contrast, in Europe has worked with colleagues in the tragic experience, he has been very satisfied, just received a break from Europe, Marquis Mikhail has been executed by the new government, the whole family is nowhere to be found,
Just when Petrov was worried, the old butler hurriedly came to report:
"Your Excellency, General Wu is here."
"Which General Wu."
He was still immersed in the sighs and sighs of his old friend, and he didn't react for a while.
"That General Wu of the Suidong Army."
The old butler has become accustomed to the Duke's state of being unskilled, and he is secretly sad in his heart, in just one year, the Duke who has acted fruitfully and thinking quickly has become the unresponsive old man in front of him, who is sad all day long.
For half a minute, Petrov jumped up from the sand and shouted:
"Come in......"
Then, he slapped his thigh again, "No, I'll pick it up myself." ”
Before the words fell, a hearty laugh came from outside the living room, the door was pushed open, and a young general with a straight military uniform walked in, it was Wu Xiaoliang,
Wu Xiaoliang, without waiting for the housekeeper to be informed, walked through the courtyard and entered the hall like a small palace.
"Your Excellency Duke, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's good to be a qiē."
"Haha, very good, your Suidong Army treats me very well."
Petrov was telling the truth, Wu Xiaoliang straightened his clothes and sat on the wide and soft sand,
"I'm actually here for one thing I want to consult with His Excellency the Duke."
Petrov had a smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the eyes of the young general, trying to see what was going on, but he quickly realized that it was in vain,
"General Wu, please ask, as long as I know, I must tell me honestly."
"Well, it's about the ...... of the naval battle more than ten years ago"
Before Wu Xiaoliang's words were finished, the smile on Petrov's face gradually disappeared, that big battle was a wound he had not wanted to touch for more than ten years, the essence of the Imperial Navy was lost in that naval battle, the 6th Army was defeated in successive battles, and even he himself became a prisoner of the Japanese,
Wu Xiaoliang obviously noticed the change in Petrov's face, and hurriedly asked the rest of the part:
"Your Excellency Duke, after that naval battle, many sailors and officers on the ship were left in Vladivostok, and I don't know if they can be found."
Petrov was very surprised, and he didn't know why he asked about the sailors of the year, and then he remembered that the steward had inquired at night, and there was a large warship moored in the harbor, which was said to have been captured by General Wu from the Japanese.
Petrov's heart began to liven, this young general has nothing, if you want to establish a navy, you must rely on yourself, they all say that the 6th Army has a navy for ten years and a hundred years of navy, and the empire has a naval history of more than a hundred years, although in that war the elite of the imperial navy almost all withered, but there are still seeds left, thinking of this, Petrov laughed:
"General Wu wants to rearm that warship."
Wu Xiaoliang laughed: "Your Excellency the Duke is as wise as a torch, and I can't hide it from you in this thought, I do have this idea." ”
"Young man, in your Chinese dialect, the person you are looking for is far away and close at hand."
