Zhiyuan ship Xu Jie's bedroom. "Lord Nakado called back." Zhang Youqiao placed two telegrams on the table.

"Why are these two telegrams?" Xu Jie frowned and said.

"One of them is Mingdian. Ji Shida can read it in front of everyone. Zhang Peilun smiled and picked up a telegram and said.

"Have you ever seen it?" Xu Jie asked cautiously.

"Is this a copy, Jishi has to look at it himself, so as to decide whether to read out the Ming Dian of Lord Zhongtang in public." Zhang Peilun ignored Xu Jie's question, took out another telegram and said.

"Can I take a look first?" Xu Jie became more and more confused.

"Of course, this is the telegram that Lord Zhongtang gave you, and you naturally have the right to read it." Zhang Peilun directly handed over the two telegrams to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie cautiously opened the first telegram, and when he saw it for the first time, Xu Jie's face couldn't help but show a smile. "As expected," Xu Jie said in a breath.

"What did Nakado-sama say?" Zhang Peilun hurriedly asked.

"Brother Zhang really doesn't know?" Xu Jie joked. "This telegram was given to me instead of Liu Zixiang, which already proves that Li Zhongtang is inclined to Lang Weili." Xu Jie said and handed a copy of what he had read to Zhang Peilun.

"Reprimanded Liu Zixiang for the following crimes, apologized in public, and fined him for one year? That's a bit heavier! Seeing the content on the telegram, Zhang Peilun couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is only used as a last resort, in fact, Lord Zhongtang plans to be private." Xu Jie shook his head with a smile and said. "Brother Zhang, take a look at this telegram again." As he spoke, Xu Jie handed over the other copy.

"It's not a joke, is it? Invite Luang Weili to a meal in private and apologize? Looking at this almost child's playful message, Zhang Peilun said with wide eyes.

"What else do you want? Let a general soldier apologize in public and punish him for a year, not to mention whether Liu Zixiang is convinced, this kind of behavior alone is enough to cause a backlash within the Fujian system. At the moment of the great enemy, the key is to unite the forces that can be united, and it is enough to teach a lesson. Xu Jie smiled.

"Isn't it true that it won't hurt this time?" Zhang Peilun asked.

"After the officers and students of the Tianjin Naval Academy boarded the three warships newly ordered by me in Beiyang. This Beiyang is not the world of the Fujian system. Xu Jie sighed and said.

"Jishi plans to make a faction of his own?" Zhang Peilun frowned and asked.

"Zixiang has talent. However, it is obviously not good to have only one faction in the Beiyang Fleet, and Lord Nakado also hopes that a kind of stability can be achieved in the Beiyang, and the premise of stability is the balance of forces in many parties. And now it is clearly not equilibrium. Xu Jie smiled.

"Then if Brother Ji Shi gains power, how will he treat the Min family?" Zhang Peilun asked.

"As long as you can do good deeds, this factional problem has existed in the past, now it exists, and it will still exist in the future. I, Xu Jie, only do things right, not people. Xu Jie said in a deep voice.

"Once he gains power, I hope to remember what I said today." Zhang Peilun said expressionlessly.

"Then how do you ask Zixiang to come out alone?" Xu Jie asked.

"This doesn't have to worry about the world, Zhang has his own way." Zhang Peilun said with a slight smile.

To say that Liu Zixiang has been very depressed recently, he didn't expect that a flag-pulling incident would cause such a big turmoil. Not only did Lang Weili not buy it, but he had a head-on conflict with himself, and the newly recruited protégé of the Zhongtang Lord actually stood on the side of the foreigners. If you want to talk about Xu Jie, Liu Buyun didn't argue with him, but then under the common purpose, the two cooperated very well, such as the Beihai Parade. From the bottom of my heart, Liu Zixiang is still very satisfied with working with such a talented and knowledgeable person. But this person's personality is too strong, coupled with his grasp of the current situation, he always makes others can't help but follow his train of thought. This made Lao Liu very uncomfortable. And then in the internal meeting of the Fujian department, even Lin Taizeng and others, who have always had a good relationship with him, opposed the letter against Xu Jie, which made Liu Buyun feel a little at a loss. And now that the telegram has been sent out for 4 days, there has been no reply at all, which can't help but make Liu Buyun's already nervous heart hang in his throat. However, since this lawsuit has reached Zhongtang, he has no way out. Lin Zengtai is right, Xu Jie is at fault again, and Lord Zhongtang will not treat his protégé like this. But it's different for himself, after all, this sailor eats Lao Li's salary. I'm just a general soldier. But today Ding Ruchang suddenly called and invited Liu Buyun to go to Guangzhou, although he was very skeptical about the purpose of this call, but Ding Ruchang was his own official after all, and Lao Ding said that he still had to go, especially at this sensitive time. …,

Two hours later, when Liu Buchan came to Li Hanzhang's governor's mansion, Lao Li and Lao Ding didn't show up, and they just came to a well-decorated room under the leadership of the housekeeper. When Liu Buyun pushed open the door made of mahogany, Xu Jie stood in front of him with a smile. And in front of him there was a stack of papers.

"Jishi is really a great power, he can actually let Admiral Ding come forward and call Liu here." After being stunned for a moment, Liu Buyun said with a smile.

"I just want to talk to Zixiang alone, I don't mean anything else." Xu Jie said disapprerovingly.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Zixiang frowned and said.

"It's about the life of my Beiyang sailor." Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Huh? Is this true? Liu Buyun immediately stood up. As an excellent naval officer, Liu Buyun has already found some clues from Xu Jie's words.

"Minister Xue's telegram, I don't know if General Liu is interested." Xu Jie pushed a piece of paper in front of Liu Zixiang.

"Is this really?" After reading the telegram, fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Buyun's head, and he said in surprise.

Shuzo Aoki has already negotiated with the British shipyard Armstrong for an order for a new Dome cruiser. This time it is very likely that there will be 4 at once, and 3 of them will be a new type of dome armored clipper with a similar tonnage to the **-class cruiser ordered by our Beiyang, equipped with 8 4.7-inch guns and 4 6-inch guns, and the speed will reach more than 23 knots. Xu Jie also restrained his smile and said sternly.

"In this way, the advantages of my newly purchased warships in Beiyang will be wiped out in an instant. I wonder if Brother Ji Shi thinks the 3 new warships you designed can defeat the 4 warships that the Japanese people are ordering now? Unconsciously, Liu Buyun, whose face was pale, also gave Xu Jie a salutation.

"If it's just these 4 battleships, there's nothing wrong with my new 3 new cruisers." XU JIE SMILED FAINTLY, AND THEN AFTER LIU BUCHAN LET OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF, HIS FACE WAS A LITTLE BLOODY, AND XU JIE'S LATER WORDS MADE LIU BUTAN'S HEART SINK TO THE BOTTOM: "BUT THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT SEEMS TO BE TIRED OF THIS KIND OF QUANTITATIVE COMPETITION, THEY PLAN TO PURCHASE LARGER WARSHIPS, THE FRENCH DESIGNED A SECOND-CLASS IRONCLAD SHIP EQUIPPED WITH 2 320MM GHANAIAN GUNS FOR THE JAPANESE, AND THE BRITISH COLONEL INGALLS RECOMMENDED THE BRITISH FIRST-CLASS PROTECTIVE CRUISER." From the present point of view, it seems that the Japanese are very dissatisfied with the French because of the Sankei, so, in my opinion, the British 1st class protective cruiser may be more like the eyes of the Japanese military. As he spoke, Xu Jie handed Liu Zixiang a piece of paper full of various numbers. (IN FACT, BAI LAOYI DID DESIGN A 6,000-TON WARSHIP EQUIPPED WITH TWO 320MM GHANAIAN GUNS FOR JAPAN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND THE BOOK'S DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SANKEI SHIP, HE FINALLY CHOSE TO ABANDON THE FRENCH DESIGN AND BUY THE BRITISH ARMSTRONG-TYPE CRUISER INSTEAD, WHICH WAS LATER YOSHINO, WHERE XU JIE ADDED A LITTLE PRIVATE GOODS.) ）

"Uh, is that true?" Liu Buyun really couldn't stand this feeling of ups and downs, "If that's the case, in this way, no matter how powerful my new 5,000-ton battleship in Beiyang is, I'm afraid it won't be able to beat a 7,000-ton first-class cruiser." ”

"In this way, I Beiyang must also order new warships in the future." Half loud, Liu Zixiang muttered.
