The train runs on the snowy wilderness, and the white steam spewed from the front of the locomotive forms a long white dragon against the direction of the train, flying in the air and imposing. The train had only two additional carriages, apparently a special train. In the second carriage of the train, Deng Zixuan and his wife Wan'er sat in the spacious carriage, looking out through the glass printed with window grilles. The season enters a small cold, and the weather is even colder.

At the beginning of December, Deng Zixuan received two good news, one was that two large battleships in Lushun were launched into service, and the Admiralty invited Deng Zixuan to cut the ribbon and give names to the new battleships. Second, following the opening of the Beijing section of Shanhaiguan, the trains from Shanhaiguan to Shengjing and Shengjing to Harbin are all connected, and are currently in trial operation. Harbin is the new city in the north built by Deng Zixuan, and it is also the place where he dreams of it. What kind of city will Harbin build in the future, Deng Zixuan personally participated in and designed the blueprint, and was very devoted.

Deng Zixuan's measures made many people confused, especially his wife Wan'er. At this moment, Wan'er kept wiping the ice flowers on the window with her hands, trying to keep her vision from being obscured. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Madam, starting from the capital, you can't see enough, what is there to see in the wilderness, it is shijie in the ice and snow." Wan'er said: "Zixuan, there are caves inside and outside Shanhaiguan, and it is only after the three customs customs that you really appreciate the spectacular scene of winter in the north." ”

"What do you see?" "The most obvious thing is that the snow in the pass is small, the snow can't cover the ground, and many places are bare. You've seen that Jinzhou is simply white shijie, and the scenery is beautiful. The more Wan'er spoke, the more excited she became: "Living in the capital." I can't see a few snows throughout the winter, and I really feel the beauty of the northern ice and snow shijie when I am outside the customs. "If you get to Harbin, that's the real ice and snow shijie."

Wan'er was puzzled: "I heard that the name Harbin was given by you." And from the layout of the city to the future development model, it is all planned by you. Zixuan, I want to know that you weishenme are so obsessed with Harbin. "In his previous life, Deng Zixuan was born in Harbin, and where he grew up to 18 years old. He spent his childhood, adolescence, and middle school years in Harbin, his hometown. But it is impossible for Deng Zixuan to tell Wan'er these things, and the things in the previous life must be in the stomach forever.

Deng Zixuan said casually: "I want to build a different city in the north, and the city should be completely Western-style. Western architectural civilization reflects different charms. It is also a precious heritage of mankind. The Chinese nation is tolerant and all-encompassing, and I want to let the Western civilization be civilized here, and the customs and customs of Harbin. The architectural pattern is one of them. At present, Harbin has been officially established as a city and has initially become a town with Western style. ”

"I've heard that many foreigners have settled in Harbin, but is there any?" "Yes, there are quite a few Jews living in Harbin at the moment. These Jews came from Russia. In addition, many Russian merchants settled in Harbin. They all migrated from the cities of the Far East. "We are now in a state of hostility with Russia, so let the Russians settle down, will it be difficult for them to settle down?" Wan'er said worriedly. "Don't worry, they're businessmen, and businessmen don't joke with their lives for profit. In addition, we provide the best business environment to attract bees and butterflies. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "Although we are now fighting with Western countries, it is a contest of politics and national system, and we will not crowd out private businessmen and good citizens. As long as foreigners abide by the constitution of China. We all welcome the rules and regulations. Allow them to live and work in peace. At present, many prisoners of war with a skill have become builders in various fields, and as far as I know, the vast majority of prisoners of war who are used by me are not happy. ”

At this time, the chief of the guard came over and reported: "President, we will arrive in Shengjing in another hour, and Commander Bai and his wife will personally greet you at the station." "I haven't seen Biying for three years, I don't know how she's doing now." Wan'er heard this, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Deng Zixuan said to the chief of the guard: "After arriving in Shengjing, the guards will stay in the car for the time being, and Commander Bai will arrange the security work." I stayed in Shengjing for a day late and then went to Arthur Military Port. "Subordinate Order!"

The train slowly stopped on the platform, and the station was temporarily under martial law and lined with military police. Since it was a time of war, sudden martial law at the station was the norm, and the people had long been accustomed to it. The train stopped, Deng Zixuan and his wife stepped out of the carriage, and Bai Sheng raised his hand in military uniform to salute, shake hands, and greet each other. Wan'er and Bi Ying embraced, making a mess of affection, Bi Ying choked up in public, Deng Zixuan and his wife got into the carriage prepared by Bai Sheng and went straight to his official residence.

Entering Bai Sheng's mansion, the couple hurriedly held a banquet. Naturally, the northern specialty is game. Pheasants, roe deer, bear's paws, and dried cucumbers from Vladivostok fill the table. As the hostess, Bi Ying is like a few treasures and introduces them one by one. "Bi Ying, you don't need to introduce it, we have long been familiar with the delicacies and game you have sent in the past few years," joked with a playful smile. Bi Ying smiled and said, "Madam, I'm so happy that you can come to Shengjing as a guest." Madam, you are still young, and you haven't changed at all, look if I'm old and my mouth is broken. ”

"You haven't changed the same way you have been, now you are all in the world, it's too difficult to meet, and you can't go back to the old time!" Wan'er's tone was a little sad. Deng Zixuan said: "Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, I'll take the lead, let's drink and eat." "After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wan'er took Bi Ying to the back hall to talk. The women's minds are obvious, and the men present have something to say that is not easy to say.

"President, I heard that we have installed a submarine force?" Bai Sheng asked. "Do you have itchy hands?" Deng Zixuan guessed Bai Sheng's thoughts. "President, I can't hide anything from you. It has been more than a year since the Korean Peninsula was occupied, and it is a lie to say that there is no hurry. At present, the unit is training for landing operations, and the officers and men are waiting to be fed and have a high desire to fight. The fact that the submarine has become an army shows that the navy will do a lot. Your personal trip to Arthur to cut the ribbon for the new warship shows that we are not far off to start on the Japanese mainland.

"Brother, you're overly optimistic. The time is far from ripe for a move on the Japanese mainland, so I will not attack Japan in the next two years. Deng Zixuan poured a basin of cold water on Bai Sheng's head. President, I don't understand that there is already sea supremacy, and Weishenme does not attack Japan? Didn't you go to Lushun to name the new battleship, not proof of this? Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "As a senior commander, you can't start from local interests, but from the overall strategy. ”

"At present, the Pacific Fleet of the coalition forces has doubled its main warships, and their goal is to assist in the defense of Japan. If we choose to attack Japan at this time, we will inevitably devote all our navy to ensure the landing operation, so that we will directly fight with the Pacific Fleet of the coalition forces. Frankly, we don't have an advantage in fighting consumption. Therefore, at sea we can only choose asymmetric warfare. ”

"President, I see!" Bai Sheng nodded. Deng Zixuan continued: "Next year's land operation will be in the west, and it is estimated that in March next year, our railway into Xinjiang will be completed in its entirety, and the logistics supply of the Western Front Army will be effectively solved at that time." Next year, He Meng's task is to take the whole of Xinjiang and gradually reduce the space of the Russian army. Naval operations are mainly asymmetrical. Since the coalition forces are focused on taking care of Japan, we will target the Philippine detachment. ”

"If there is a chance to eat the Philippine detachment, we will be able to control the South China Sea and open up the sea transportation line from the mainland to Lan Fang. This year, Lan Fang has come to prominence and occupied the whole of Kalimantan, so we must fully support Lan Fang in the fight. In addition, I have another purpose, once I control the South China Sea, the French army will not be able to gain a foothold in Annam, and then achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. Look not only at Japan, but also on the American continent. When we conquered Japan, we also attacked the American continent. When it comes to the American continent, you should do your own research now. ”

"It's the president, I see!" Bai Sheng had an excited expression on his face. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The big battle is still to come, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Tomorrow you accompany me to Lushun to see our mighty warship. Bai Sheng asked, "Have you chosen the name of the new battleship?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The No. 005 battleship is named Beijing, and the No. 006 battleship is named Harbin." I have telegraphed to inform Shen Baozhen that we will see the rotary horn when we arrive in Lushun. "It was late at night, and the brothers were still discussing matters in the military field, and it ended at midnight.

The next day, the special train arrived in Lushun in the afternoon, and at Lushun Station, Shen Baozhen, Minister of Shipping, Fan Tao, Commander of the Navy, Dai Hui, the newly appointed captain of the Beijing, and Zheng Haitao, the captain of the Harbin, were waiting on the platform. After meeting the guests and hosts, they immediately walked to the dock where the battleship was moored. On the wharf, the military bands stood in the cold wind, two huge warships with a displacement of 8,200 tons were hung with colorful flags, and the sailors stood on the deck, and the bridge did not move at all, showing the demeanor of the sailors.

Military music sounded, gongs and drums were noisy. Deng Zixuan, his wife and other generals boarded the deck of the battleship Beijing, and Deng Zixuan personally cut the big red silk, and then delivered a brief speech, wishing the new battleship to live up to its mission and create brilliance. Then Captain Dai Hui guided Deng Zixuan and others to visit the battleship.

After the visit, in the command cabin, Wan'er walked up to Dai Hui with a smile and asked, "Your name is Dai Hui!" "Yes, ma'am!" Dai Hui replied with a chest held up. Wan'er whispered: "Commander Fan entrusted his wife to beg me to choose a family business for you, and I agreed, and I won't break my promise." "Mrs. Xie's love!" Dai Hui's face was apprehensive, and his heart was pleasantly surprised. Wan'er looked at Dai Hui carefully with the eyes of her mother-in-law, and was overjoyed. Dai Hui was uncomfortable, and he didn't know why his wife looked at him like this. (To be continued......)
