Chapter 332: Mikasa Battleship
PS: (Thanks to nstyu for the valuable monthly pass)
In the Jiufang Gambling House, hundreds of gamblers are gambling to their heart's content, and many gamblers are blonde foreigners. There are not only dice, mahjong and other gambling equipment in the Jiufang Gambling House, but also roulette and playing cards imported from abroad, so it can attract so many foreigners to enter.
Lieutenant Blatter started out with good luck and won more than 50 silver dollars, but after a while he lost even a hundred silver dollars. The lieutenant is not in a hurry at all, this gambling house treats foreigners quite preferentially, and how much money foreigners lose can go to get the corresponding value of chips again, so that they have the opportunity to move their capital.
Lieutenant Blatter stared reluctantly at the dice cup on the table, turned and walked towards the room, he had lost a hundred silver dollars, and he could have received another hundred silver dollars. Walking to the familiar room, the lieutenant was surprised to find that there was a change of people inside, it turned out that the middle-aged man in a long shirt in his forties did not know where he had gone, and was replaced by a young stranger.
With a warm smile on his face, the young stranger said, "Sir, is there anything you need my help with?" ”
Lieutenant Blatter took out the previous voucher for exchanging chips and shook it, and said with an arrogant face: "The rules of your Jiufang Gambling House, people from other countries can receive equivalent chips with the voucher if they lose money, and the rules will not change after the change, right?" ”
The young Yiren smiled: "Of course not, our Jiufang Gambling House has been open for two years, and its reputation can definitely be guaranteed, sir, but please rest assured." Since my first day of work, each foreign adult can redeem double the chips, but they have to go with me to the backyard to register. ”
Lieutenant Blatter was overjoyed, he had lost a hundred silver dollars, but if he had re-exchanged it according to the young alien, not only would he not lose money, but he would have earned a hundred silver dollars for nothing. He had a great impression of the young Yiren, and said loudly: "Huaxia Yiren, you make me very satisfied. If you have trouble in the future, you can come to me. ”
The young stranger is Chen Hao, after receiving Liu Qi's task, he came to the Jiufang Gambling House, most of the industries in Yingkou Wharf were funded by him, and the Jiufang Gambling House was no exception. After Chen Hao showed the token, the NPC who was responsible for subsidizing the chips for foreigners bowed respectfully and left the gambling hall, allowing him to take over.
During the Baoding Military Academy. In order to improve his cultural attributes, Chen Hao learned a few foreign languages in the game, so there was no problem communicating with Lieutenant Blatter. He walked ahead with a sneer on his face and led Lieutenant Blatter to the backyard.
When Liu Qi released the mission, he said that he would test his ability, so he could only take out Blatter by himself. If the foreigner disappears temporarily, it will not cause panic, but if he is killed in the street, it will cause a diplomatic dispute, and it may cause the British fleet not to dock at Yingkou, so he can only choose to do it in the gambling house.
Jiufang Gambling Hall is located in the downtown area, and Blatter's individual ability is not clear Chen Hao is not clear, and he is ready to make a trick for the sake of safety.
After Lieutenant Blatter entered the small courtyard. Chen Hao took out two hundred silver dollars worth of chips from his blanket and handed it over, "Lieutenant, this is the chip you deserve." ”
Lieutenant Blatter hurriedly reached out and took the chips, and although he looked down on the Huaxia people, he said thank you for the first time. Chen Hao asked him to sign his name on the stone table, the reason was to hand it over to the backstage boss to prove that the money was not greedy by him.
Lieutenant Blatter had no doubts, he sat down on the stone bench and picked up a quill to write his name.
Chen Hao stood beside Blatter. With a playful smile on his face, he took the Yanling knife out of his coat. Lieutenant Blatter signed his name and was about to get up. The Yan Ling Knife had already slashed at his neck, and the sharp Yan Ling Knife coupled with the Grandmaster-level Five Tiger Broken Door Knife Technique made Lieutenant Blatter move without making any sound.
Chen Hao sprinkled some lime on Lieutenant Blatter's head, then put his head in his baggage and walked outside the gambling hall. Soon after he left, several big men walked into the courtyard. They were responsible for disposing of Blatter's headless corpse.
On the seaside of the wharf is a bustling market town, and the north is much more remote, Liu Qi and Chen Hao made an appointment to meet in a wood.
Liu Qi patiently sat in the woods and tinkered with medicine, in his opinion, it would be good to kill a Russian lieutenant if he could succeed, and he didn't believe in what Chen Hao said about solving it in one hour. So he was ready to stay in the woods for a little longer.
There was a sound of footsteps not far away, and Liu Qi stood up vigilantly and hid behind the big tree. The footsteps got closer and closer, and after seeing that it was Chen Hao, he walked out from behind the big tree and said in a deep voice: "Did the mission fail?" ”
Chen Hao laughed, he threw the burden in his hand in front of Liu Qi and said, "Blatter's head is here, Brother Liu, I shouldn't have been away for more than an hour now, right?" ”
Liu Qi opened the baggage and confirmed that it was Blatter's head, and he showed a shocked look. He dug a pit and buried Blatter's head, and said in a deep voice: "You killed a Russian lieutenant in only forty minutes, I think your identity should be very difficult, but I don't want to ask who you are, as long as the person who killed foreign devils is my friend." I will hand over ten packets of sweat medicine to you, if you need my cooperation, you can also open your mouth at any time, you can overturn a thousand foreign devils, even if I die, it is worth it. ”
"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on completing the task "Assassination" released by NPC Liu Qi, and you have received ten packs of super-grade Menghan medicine as a reward. Due to your excellent performance and the completion of the task is A, Liu Qi is willing to listen to your command when dealing with foreigners. ”
Item Name: Sweat Medicine
Item description: A special drug-type item, which is colorless and odorless, and can make people fall into a coma
Item Grade: Specialty Medicine
Item Attributes: Can put 100 people unconscious
Each pack of sweat pills can make a hundred people unconscious, and ten packs of sweat pills is a dose to deal with a thousand NPCs. The 10 packets of sweat pills will be placed in the wine and tasted by the Royal Navy at the welcome reception organized by Wu Peifu for the British fleet.
Therefore, ten packs of sweat pills against 1,000 people is only theoretically feasible, and to ensure that every NPC who drinks is overturned, at least five packs of sweat pills are needed. After Chen Hao expressed his concerns, Liu Qi said dryly: "I have the sweat medicine, since I have decided to cooperate, I will give you as much as you want, but I have to go back to the inn to get it." ”
Chen Hao and Liu Qi made an appointment for the next meeting, and then returned to Tongzhi Yamen with sweat medicine, Wu Peifu and Yang Du had been waiting for a long time. On the table in front of Yang Du was a newspaper, the British "Daily Mail", which carried the news of the Royal Navy's trip to the northeast.
Yang Du picked up the newspaper and said with a smile: "My lord is really clever, the British Royal Navy will enter the Pacific Ocean in two days, and the British newspaper said that they will meet the Japanese Navy at Yingkou Wharf, and then conduct joint military exercises." ”
Chen Hao didn't show a thoughtful look, his target was the four armored cruisers of the British Navy, but he didn't expect the Japanese Navy to anchor at Yingkou Wharf. Although the more warships looted, the better, but if the Japanese participated, he was afraid that he would not have such an appetite, and it would not be good if there was an accident.
"Huizi, how many warships does the Japanese Navy have going to Yingkou?"
Yang Du smiled and said: "Don't worry, the British side asked the Japanese Navy to participate in the exercise, but now the situation in the northeast is tense, and the Japanese are reluctant to send more warships in order to guard against the Russians, they will only send one battleship and two cruisers to participate in the exercise......"
"Battleship?"
Chen Hao's eyes couldn't help but light up, the development of the game seemed to be different from the future memory! I remember that when the player was planning madly, there were only three cruisers on the dock, and no battleships docked at the Yingkou dock. Now not only did Britain send four advanced cruisers, but Japan also sent one battleship and two cruisers.
When the Royal Navy arrives at the docks, there will be one battleship, six cruisers and ten destroyers at the Yingkou docks. Britain sent four advanced cruisers, and in order to show goodwill, the commander of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo, personally went to Yingkou, with the newest battleship Mikasa as his flagship.
There were only two Japanese armored cruisers in total, both of which were the main battleships, the Asama and Tokiwa, both of the Asama class, and four destroyers were also dispatched.
Chen Hao's goal has always been a cruiser, but if there is a chance to get a battleship, of course he will not refuse. Before aircraft carriers really formed combat effectiveness, battleships were well-deserved hegemons in the oceans. Britain has already begun to build dreadnoughts, and the Japanese battleships are far behind the dreadnoughts, but they are already the more advanced main battleships of this era.
The Mikasa battleship is Japan's newest battleship, and if you can grab it, Chen Hao's fleet will have the main flagship, and the fleet will have a soul. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Chen Hao immediately made up his mind, even if it was more difficult to snatch, he must get all the battleships, and by the way, he could also kill the Japanese Navy Commander Togo Heihachiro.
The plan to snatch the cruiser was already crazy, and the snatching of the battleship and taking out the commander of the Japanese Navy would definitely cause an uproar. After the incident, the Qing government will be under a lot of pressure, Chen Hao and Wu Peifu will be hated by the imperial court, but the Qing Dynasty no longer has a strong navy, and Chen Hao is not afraid of the imperial court at all if he robs the warship.
Japan drove seven warships, and the number of naval forces was also nearly 1,000, and Liu Qi's sweat medicine was definitely not enough. Liu Qi promised that the sweat medicine could be used casually, Chen Hao didn't have to worry about this, what he needed to consider was that the British fleet and the Japanese fleet did not arrive at the dock at the same time.
It is more troublesome for the fleet of any country to arrive at the dock first, and if the British fleet is welcomed first, the Japanese will show their flaws if they do not see the British when they arrive, and vice versa, if the Japanese arrive first. After discussing with Yang Du, Chen Hao decided that no matter which country arrived at the dock first, he would just settle them down first, and wait until the navies of the two countries gathered before making a move.
If the plan succeeds and Japan loses Mikasa and two Asama-class cruisers, what will be the outcome of the Battle of Tsushima? Chen Hao thought very long-term, if Japan could not win the Battle of Tsushima, it would not be a bad thing for China for the Russo-Japanese War to continue for a few more years!
