Chapter 168 Conditions for the Acquisition of the Qiantang Navy
As Tian Youliang, who must be cautious in his words and deeds, if he is not fully sure, how can he say these highly confidential things that belong to Xu Jiajun before he has negotiated the conditions with these naval captains! That's because the intelligence department of this fleet, from the captain to the ordinary sailor Xu Jiajun, has investigated everything clearly.
Even this Sun Country spy who was called by Tian Youliang and assumed the pseudonym Hu Weidong in his early years, the intelligence department controlled by Tian Youliang has found out clearly. Now revealing his real name is nothing more than warning these captains once again that Xu Jiajun's understanding of this fleet is far beyond their imagination.
Chi Mu Jiro, who was called out by his real name, was obviously startled, but he still said stiffly: "Minister Tian, you are laughing!" I am a native of Qiantang, how can I have such a name? I can't stand this joke without being scared. ”
When the other captains also thought that they would be mistaken, Tian Youliang said as if he was not angry at all: "Indeed, except for you and your boss, there must be very few people who know your real name, right?" Then I'll change the name, I think you should be familiar with it, Lord Blackfish, you should be familiar with it now, right?
If this title makes you think I'm still joking, then I'll tell you about your case file as a senior spy in Longhua in the Sun Country. At the age of fifteen, you received training from the intelligence department of the Sun Country, and entered the Longhua Kingdom under your name, with the cooperation of your intelligence department. At the age of fifteen, you fell at the gate of the Nanyang Naval School at that time.
Adopted by Hu Kebing, a naval instructor at the time, and eventually trained you to become an excellent naval officer. From then on, you changed your name to Hu Weidong and became a fatherless and motherless orphan. And with the help of your adoptive father Hu Lao's relationship in the Nanyang Naval Division, he has come to the current position of captain step by step.
If you don't think this information is telling, I can also give you your address in the Sun Country. and your parents and a pair of siblings. Do you still think I'm joking with you now? ”
For the Hu Weidong in front of him, these captains of the Longhua Navy who get along day and night know the origin of his name. But no one would have thought that as early as more than 20 years ago, the Sun Kingdom had deliberately arranged so many spy personnel in Longhua. If it weren't for Xu Jiajun's spy personnel, he would cooperate with several special forces of Xu Jiajun to conduct actual combat.
In one fell swoop, he won a lot, the secret agency of the Sun Country in Longhua. This information was found in the safe of a senior intelligence officer stationed in Longhua. I'm afraid no one would have thought that this man, who looked almost indistinguishable from the Longhua people, would actually be a spy sent to Longhua by the Sun Kingdom in the early years.
In the face of such detailed information. Hu Weidong's toughness was paralyzed suddenly, and he sighed and said: "The 'Night Wandering God' in the Xu family's army really lives up to its name, it seems that the attack on our consulate in Dongtai Port should be from your handiwork." It seems that we in the Sun Kingdom really know too little about you. Your ambitions are too underestimated.
But don't rejoice too soon. Sooner or later, the navy of your Longhua Kingdom will be destroyed in the hands of the invincible navy of our Sun Country. Until then. Your fate will be the same as mine, long live Emperor Bixia! ”
Hu Weidong, who shouted these words, knew that he was not immune this time, when the other captains glared at him with angry faces. He bit it very happily, and the fangs hidden in his mouth were soon seen by some captains who were about to come forward to beat him. This former comrade-in-arms who called him a brother. A stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and twitched a few times before he lost his breath.
For all this, Tian Youliang has seen countless scenes of suicide by poisoning the identity of intelligence officers of the Sun Country, and naturally this time is not lacking. Faced with a spy from the Sun Country whose identity was clearly investigated. To die is to die. It's useless to keep him, it's a waste of food, so naturally there is no need to stop him from committing suicide.
I didn't want to be affected by a corpse when chatting, Tian Youliang beckoned: "Brothers, fortunately, drag this eye-catching thing out and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." Don't interfere with my chats with these brothers! ”
Such a calm and disregard for life made these captains feel frightened and sighed that if they really had a strong navy in the future. But they were infiltrated by the spies of an enemy country, and reported their operations to the navy of the Sun Country one step in advance, so they were not as transparent as they were, and they didn't know what was going on when they were beaten. It can be seen that the Sun Country is greedy for the Longhua Kingdom, and it is no longer a matter of one or two days.
Removing Hu Weidong, an unstable factor, Tian Youliang suddenly changed his previous conversation and laughter, and became extremely serious: "I believe that I don't need to emphasize anything, as naval captains, you should all know how confidential the information I just told you is." Although I know that you are all patriotic people and will not do anything that betrays the interests of the country. But I still want to emphasize that if anyone dares to divulge what he just said, I am afraid that the end will be a hundred times worse than that brute. You should know that I dare to say this and have this ability.
Having said so much about the construction of the navy, I want to tell you only one thing, and that is that Xu Jiajun is very important to the construction of the navy. Just to prevent those naval powers from being nervous and impose a blockade on us, and also to not alarm the Sun Nation Navy, which has wolf ambitions. The layout of our marshal in the navy has always been blocked as a first-class secret.
Now that our army has taken Qiantang Road, it means that it has an official port into the sea, and it is logical that it can build a guard navy. Then the warships that build the navy can be done with money, but there are not many elite generals Xu Jiajun who operate the navy. This means that you will be reused when you join.
I know that many of you must want to know the terms and conditions that our commander has given you. Then I can tell you that in the future, the salaries of the officers and men of the Xu Jiajun Navy will be half a percent higher than that of the army. In addition, the supply of materials and oil and coal is all based on the reserve arrangements of the navies of major countries.
In addition to these, the shipbuilding elites that we have reserved for many years in the capital city of Gannan River will also be in the near future. The reopening of the new Nanyang Shipyard will sound the clarion call for the revival of the Longhua Navy here. Your dilapidated repair shop will also be renovated with a lot of money.
Even if the boiler of your flagship Qiantang is aging, there will be technicians from our shipyard to change the newly developed oil power unit for you. At the same time, the weapons and armor protection of your other warships will be refurbished. In short, after joining the Xu Jiajun, you will regain the self-confidence of a true naval power.
And our marshal has only one requirement for you, that is, loyalty, absolute loyalty to him, absolute loyalty to Longhua country, and absolute loyalty to this Longhua sea area.
Of course, I need to explain in advance that after you officially join the Xu Jiajun, you captains will also undergo a one-month military academy training. First, to test whether you have forgotten the combat subjects of the navy over the years, and secondly, to let you accept that Xu Jiajun's military management philosophy and military regulations are different from other armies.
During your studies, as long as there are no problems, you will officially take on the role of captain of a new ship to re-engage and repair a new warship. Similarly, the officers and men under your command will also undergo a one-month ideological education. Eliminate some officers and men who are not suitable for continued service, and join our naval officers and men trained in Jiangdu.
Generally speaking, the post of Minister of the Admiralty of the Xu Jiajun will be held by Captain Deng when he comes, according to the meaning of the marshal. Of course, what I need to say more is that this is only the meaning of the marshal himself, as for whether Captain Deng can pass the test of other high-level Xu Jiajun, it depends on how you manage this navy that is about to take on a new look. ”
The military salary is half that of the army, and the old warships can be refurbished with the latest armor and weapons, which undoubtedly requires an astronomical amount to build. As for the so-called going to school, being trained and tested. How could these captains who were born in the old navy be afraid?
In addition, with regard to the elimination of some officers and men who are not suitable for continued service, consider that some of the old sailors of warships are close to 50 years old, and although they are experienced, they are really not suitable for combat. Regarding the personnel in this regard, Deng Lichang, who was worried about the future of these old brothers, asked again.
After hearing that as long as the wind has passed the test, veterans with rich experience in naval operations will join the Nanyang Naval School, which will be re-established, and serve as theoretical operation instructors for naval officers and men.
This also means that even if they retire, they don't have to worry about their livelihood. For those navy soldiers who eat like dead old fritters, Xu Jiajun will give them some discharge pay at most, so that they can fend for themselves. In this regard, Deng Lichang asked himself if Xu Jiajun had done a very benevolent and righteous job.
After negotiating these conditions, Tian Youliang did not stay long, and told Deng Lichang that after dawn tomorrow, he would have an army unit of the Xu Jiajun Army and officially enter the naval port to be armed. They will bring a new type of port cannon to replace the shore defense cannon installed at the naval base in the early years of the Longhua Dynasty.
Because, this is also to prevent that after knowing that the Qiantang Navy was merged into the Xu Family Army, the powerful navy of the Sun Kingdom would launch a surprise attack here. As long as it has land-based artillery with a long range, Xu Jiajun will not be passively beaten in the face of the surprise attack of the Sun Country Navy, not to mention, in addition to these coastal defense guns with large calibers and long range, the submarine detachment that escorted Tian Youliang and the special combat team to arrive this time will also officially stay here.
Before the completion of the naval reorganization, they will act as a defense post for this naval base and sink all warships that may cause harm to the naval base. You must know that the submarine is now Xu Bin's first initiative, and once this killer move is used, I am afraid it will also attract the shock of the navies of various countries!
