On a certain sea ship off the coast of Chancheng, Lei Hu and Huang Feihong's master and apprentice, as well as Liu Yongfu, the commander of the Black Flag Army, stood on the front deck and exchanged important matters about the fate of the Black Flag Army.

It is indeed a major event for the survival of the Youguan Black Flag Army!

As soon as Liu Yongfu spoke, he dropped a depth charge: "Dongying is aggressive over there, seeing that there will be a battle between the Qing Dynasty and Dongying, the imperial court sent me to lead the main force of the Black Flag Army to Bay Island to arrange defenses in advance!" ”

Is the Sino-Japanese War about to break out?

Lei Hu suddenly remembered the beginning of the first part of Huang Feihong's movie, that is, Liu Yongfu was preparing to go to Bay Island to take up his post, and he very solemnly hoped that Huang Feihong would take good care of the militia, and by the way, he also presented a folding fan with the words 'The world is for the public', which moved Huang Feihong a lot.

It's just that in the movie, in order to make a trip for Liu Yongfu, but there was a lot of movement, Huang Feihong personally performed a lion dance, and even because of the firecrackers, the officers and soldiers on the surrounding foreign warships thought they had been attacked, and finally fired a gun at Liu Yongfu's boat.

It was a good lively party, but it turned out to be breathless!

It's just that right now, it seems that the situation is different......

Not to mention the lively cantonment party, there was no one around the three of them at this time, and the closest one was two feet away, obviously not wanting people to hear their conversation.

And before Liu Yongfu secretly invited the master and apprentice to come to the sea boat more than ten miles away from the shore, all of this seemed very secretive, I am afraid that the matter is not simple.

"The imperial court's move is really 'far-sighted'!"

These unwanted thoughts flashed by, and Lei Hu sneered and sneered at his face; "I don't know if this is a sign of confidence in the imperial court, or an act without confidence?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Yongfu asked curiously; "Although the Black Flag Army is no more than a thousand people now, it is also confident that it will repel the possible invasion of the Dongying people!"

Tsk, it's really confident!

Of course, at this time, Dongying was really not very good, and it was still far from the industrialized countries, and without the support of hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the war reparations, it would be difficult for them to even come up with the start-up capital for industrialization.

At this time, the Dongying army, to be honest, was not very good in combat effectiveness, but it was a pity that my Qing Dynasty was even more unbearable.

Lei Hu, who traveled from later generations, knows that this is a worse era than rotten, not the worst, only worse.

A war related to the fortunes of the country is not about which side is more elite and good at fighting, but which side is less bad and which side is worse naturally has little chance of winning.

It's a pity that my Qing Dynasty is already rotten, and in this worse war, I have completely exposed my face as a foreign power and a middle cadre to the eyes of the great powers, which has paved the way for the future carving-up drama.

With the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army, if the number of people is equal, or even one to two or one to three, as long as there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, the final victory is likely to be the Black Flag Army.

It is a pity that the Black Flag Army was cut again and again by our Qing Imperial Court, and the number of officers and soldiers of the Black Flag Army in the formation at this time was less than 1,000, and the Dongying Army that landed on Bay Island invested a huge number of troops with divisions and regiments as units, and the contrast in strength between the two sides was too great for the Black Flag Army to withstand at all.

The key is whether the head-to-head decisive battle between our Qing Dynasty and Dongying is won or lost, and whether Wandao can prevent Dongying's aggression is the key point.

"The key is to look at the record of the Beiyang Naval Division, Dongying is an island country after all, as long as they can defeat their Naval Division, there will basically be no problem holding Bay Island!"

Lei Hu reminded in a condensed voice; "Otherwise, I'm afraid that Commander Liu and his brothers will be in great danger!"

"No matter what, our department will definitely guard Yuwan Island well!"

Liu Yongfu's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, he is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, but now that he is about to set off, it is useless to say frustrating words to the morale of the army, he directly explained the intention of inviting Lei Hu: "I invite you here this time, I hope to get some supplies, grain and grass!" ”

"Why, the imperial court sent the Black Flag Army to defend the island, and didn't allocate enough food and grass materials?"

Lei Hu didn't say yes or no, he was just curious about Liu Yongfu's words and said with a smile; "If that's the case, I'm afraid the court doesn't have a good heart!"

"So what, can the Black Flag Army still oppose it?"

"Then Commander Liu has thought about the back road of the Black Flag Army, why do I think that no matter how the war between the imperial court and the East wins, I'm afraid that the commander and the brothers of the Black Flag Army can't please him, right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If the imperial court wins, it will naturally not let the Black Flag Army have the opportunity to take root on the island and become the emperor of the soil, and by the way, let the Beiyang Naval Division block the sea route, and the Black Flag Army will not be able to bow down honestly!"

"Then what if the imperial court sailor is defeated?"

"Then it's even simpler, if the imperial court is defeated, it won't be able to take care of Wandao at all, and in the end, there must be brothers from the Black Flag Army led by Commander Liu to deal with ten times or even dozens of times the enemy. It's on the isolated island where the backup is cut off, can you get it? ”

Liu Yongfu was silent, and after not speaking for a long time, the atmosphere became stagnant.

"This is just the speculation of the Lei Hu brothers, and besides, I don't want to rebel against the court again, so what can I do?"

Seeing that Lei Hu had said everything about this, Liu Yongfu didn't say anything big, but just sighed and spoke helplessly.

"There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master!"

Lei Hu sneered; "How active the imperial court is in guarding against the Black Flag Army, I, an outsider, feel that it is not worth it, of course, I didn't call the Black Flag Army to rebel, I just don't mess around in the country!"

"Not in the country?"

Liu Yongfu's eyes flashed, and he asked directly; "Can you still run away to An'an?"

"Why not?"

Lei Hu asked rhetorically; "Commander Liu still has the official position of the Annan Kingdom, so what's wrong with bringing people over?"

"But it's already French territory!"

"The French have limited troops, what kind of combat effectiveness they have, and Commander Liu is not unclear, is he still afraid that these men will be defeated?"

Liu Yongfu waved his hand and said with a smile; "You kid don't need to be excited, I really don't object to going to Annan to mess around, I'm afraid that there is no place for the Black Flag Army there!"

"How is that possible?"

Lei Hu laughed; "In such a big country, how many French are there, at best, they can only send troops to defend a few big cities, and the rest of the vast area is not allowed to be galloped by Commander Liu?"

Liu Yongfu was a little moved, thought about it and suddenly laughed, pointed at Lei Hu and shook his head helplessly: "You kid, I haven't even gone to Bay Island yet, why are you so eager to encourage me to go to Annan?" ”

"Isn't it that you don't want to provoke the Black Flag Army to continue to be wronged?"

Lei Hu retorted; "Rather than telling the imperial court to continue to be afraid of guarding, it is better to quit early!"

"How can it be so simple?"

Liu Yongfu shook his head with a wry smile, with a helpless expression.

"With the reputation of the commander in Annam, as long as you bring enough people over, is it not easy to gain a foothold?"

Lei Hu was very unimpressed......
