The development of submarines is far away and does not quench the thirst of the near, and even Fang Xiaoyu is not sure whether these new weapons are being used in the battle against the Cossack Navy, so he decided to go to Marshal Xiahou Min, hoping that the Lanfang Imperial Navy can join forces with the Chinese Fleet to destroy the Cossack Empire's expeditionary fleet.

At this time, the imperial fleet was stationed in Quanzhou Port, where there was no railway, so Fang Xiaoyu had to take a cruiser to Quanzhou Military Port. Fang Xiaoyu was still the second lieutenant who received him, but he had been promoted to captain.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and quickly led Fang Xiaoyu to Marshal Xiahou Min's residence. Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu was coming, Marshal Xiahou Min immediately met him in the study.

The captain only belonged to the field service and had no right to enter Marshal Xiahou Min's residence. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Fang Xiaoyu came to the door of Marshal Xiahou Min's study.

The butler, who was in his forties, bowed slightly to Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Your Excellency, the marshal is waiting for you inside, please come in." Fang Xiaoyu nodded slightly in agreement, and then ignored the housekeeper, and stretched out his hand to push open the door of the study.

Marshal Xiahou Min was reading a book, and when he saw Fang Xiaoyu coming, Marshal Xiahou Min put down the book and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, you are really a busy person, why do you have so much time to come to me." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I also have something to ask to see the marshal, otherwise how dare I leave the territory casually." ”

Xiahou Min said: "You can also leave the territory, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously and said: "No, I'm inspecting the Ryukyu Islands, and before I return, I came to Quanzhou Port to refuel coal water, no one cares about me, I'm just going to see you, the elder who has been taking care of me, and your majesty won't blame me for this." Xiahou Min smiled and said, "You are still so ghostly, you can come up with any excuse." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I'm not as good as you marshal, this time I'm here to beg you, I've helped you make a lot of money over the years, you can't shirk it." ”

Xiahou Min sighed and waved his hand, "Xiaoyu, you sit down first." Then the two sat on the chairs, Xiahou Min lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Xiaoyu, I know why you came to me for Lu, but unfortunately I can't help with this favor." ”

Fang Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said, "What?" What difficulties did Marshal Xiahou have? Xiahou Min nodded and said: "Indeed, I just received a holy decree from the capital ten days ago, saying that this conflict was triggered between the Chinese Territory and the Cossack Empire, and the Empire will not participate, and requires our navy to stand still and not to initiate or participate in any military operations against the Cossack Empire." ”

Hearing this strange holy decree, Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "What's going on?" Why didn't I hear my family talk about it? ”

Marshal Xiahou Min said: "It is estimated that the letter sent by your family has not yet arrived in China, and you will come out, this was a few days ago." I heard that when the conflict between your Chinese Territory and the Cossack Empire began, Marshal Xia urged the Empire to participate in the war and contain the Cossack Empire from another direction, but Cheng Yuhuan has been pressed under the pretext of tight funds and the fact that the Imperial Army was heavily injured in the last war against Monte and it is difficult to move troops. ”

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "How can this be, is the empire ready to let us have the strength of a territory to fight against a big empire?" ”

Xiahou Min shook his head and said: "There is no way, no matter what, I can't disobey the holy decree, not to mention that now the Eastern Continent fleet of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire has put a lot of pressure on us, even if I don't have this holy decree, what I can do is very limited." ”

Fang Xiaoyu knew that it was useless to say anything more, after all, there was a holy decree pressing on this matter, and Xiahou Min couldn't be the master. Fang Xiaoyu got up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb the marshal, I'll go back first." ”

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was leaving, Marshal Xiahou Min's face was a little feverish, and he felt a little ashamed of Fang Xiaoyu's difficulties and powerlessness, but he couldn't make a move for this junior who had helped him a lot, but he couldn't make a move. At this moment, he had to comfort: "If there is any need for ammunition and materials, I can still support some, and as for the fleet, I can't do anything." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "No need, marshal." I believe that I can win even without the Imperial Navy. Before going out, Xiao Yu turned his head and said meaningfully to Xiahou Min: "I believe that this time the Cossack Imperial Navy is not only coming for our Chinese Territory, but before attacking the Chinese Territorial Navy, he will not let such a big hidden danger of the Imperial Navy stay in the rear and threaten him at any time." ”

Fang Xiaoyu saw the situation at sea very thoroughly, and this sentence could be regarded as advice to Xiahou Min, after all, he was not willing to weaken his country's strength in the face of strong enemies, which was not beneficial to either the empire or the Chinese territory.

After saying this, Fang Xiaoyu didn't look back, and walked straight out of the Marshal's Mansion. Looking at Fang Xiaoyu's distant back, Xiahou Min sighed and looked at Fang Xiaoyu's distant back and said, "I will remember your advice, I hope you can survive this crisis, I believe that as long as you can survive this crisis, your future will be limitless." ”

Zhang Haiyang, the chief of staff of the Navy who came with him, was waiting anxiously outside the marshal's mansion, and when he saw Fang Xiaoyu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How is it?" Did Marshal Xiahou promise to help? ”

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No, the emperor has issued a strict decree ordering the navy not to participate in any military operations against the Cossack Imperial Navy. ”

"How so?" Zhang Haiyang exclaimed in a low voice.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's the Cheng family's ghosts, they want to use the Cossack Empire to completely destroy us, but I won't do what he wants, this victory must be ours." Let's go, let's go back. ”

Zhang Haiyang nodded and followed Fang Xiaoyu towards the dock. Zhang Haiyang looked at the firm back of Fang Xiaoyu in the sunset, and secretly decided in his heart that this time he must give the Cossacks a solid lesson at sea, so that they can know that the Chinese Consulate and Navy are not soft persimmons, and whoever wants to pinch them can pinch them.

After three days of shaking on the sea, Fang Xiaoyu arrived at the port of Vladivostok, and then got on the train, and a day later Fang Xiaoyu returned to Tongjiang Fucheng. When he returned to his official residence, the housekeeper told him that someone from the Fang family was coming.

Fang Xiaoyu came to the living room and found that it was the second brother Fang Dingbang who was waiting for him, and when he saw that the person who came was the second brother, Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Second brother, aren't you serving in the capital?" How do you have time to come to me? ”
