In a farmhouse on the outskirts of Mukden, Akashi Genjiro was still sitting on a chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't care about the Pacific Army that was capturing him everywhere outside, while Ryohei Uchida next to him was already a little restless, and the sword in his hand kept opening and closing to make a clanging dragon groan.

He really didn't expect that three hundred elite soldiers, plus eight first-class ninjas, had already transferred all the nearby Pacific Army, and forced the other party into a desperate situation, but when he saw that he was successful, he was disturbed by three cars that rushed madly and were equipped with machine guns!

At this time, Li Mo not only did not die, but said that the secret garrisons in this place were pulled out one after another, and they also quickly shelled Yiju, and the army was also ready to cross the river and go to North Korea at any time.

Now that all the checkpoints to North Korea have been blocked, and there is no hope of returning to North Korea, what should I do with my people?

Thinking of this, Ryohei Uchida turned his head to look at Akashi Genjiro who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and was just about to speak, but the latter had slowly opened his eyes: "Uchida-kun, failure is not terrible, it is terrible that your heart also fails." ”

Akashi Genjiro took a deep look at the restless Uchida, slowly got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Ryohei Uchida frowned: "Akashi-kun, now that the roads leading to North Korea are blocked, we can't go back." ”

"No, we're not going to North Korea." Akashi Genjiro took a deep breath, looked at the dark earth, and said leisurely: "Let's go to Yanjing, there is a friend there who can help us, and can also help the empire!" ”

"Friends? Who is it. ”

"His name is Yuan Shikai!" ——

Oahu, which had been busy all day, gradually quieted down as night fell, and the occasional roar or two from the distant industrial area gradually dissipated with the sea breeze.

With the new equipment of the power station, Oahu has been completely lit up, and the new street lamps stretch along the road to the dockside, pulling out white streamers, and even the moonlight in the sky seems to be a little dull under such brilliance.

I heard that by the end of the year, the power lines of the other islands will be laid, and by that time, Hawaii will truly become a shining pearl in the Pacific Ocean.

And all of this is because that person, I don't know where he got so many ideas and skills, not to mention the Hawaiians at this moment, even if the merchants from all over the world come and go are amazed by the Hawaii that lights up.

Although it was already very dark, because of the popularization of electric lights, the night of Wahu was a little more lively, in addition to pedestrians, some vendors spontaneously set up a night market, coming and going lively. Of course, the most of them are a pair of young people holding hands and falling in love before and after the moon.

In the distance, the long, illuminated Ford Island is like a sharp sword, not only choking Pearl Harbor's throat, but also dividing the entire harbor into two parts. To the right of the petals, a Navy transport ship flying the Pacific Fleet's Blood Cloud Dragon Claw battle flag slowly adjusts its bow.

With the increasing number of naval transport tasks, a fleet of logistics transport ships belonging to the navy has been established, but the navy is obviously very dissatisfied with this civilian ship, especially after the shortcomings of using civilian ships to replenish have been exposed in the last attack on Vladivostok, they are more eager to get a newly designed special ship, but in the absence of slipway construction, the navy still has to temporarily use these freighters for emergency.

Fortunately, Li Mo is also aware of this problem, and has asked the Navy Design Department to design a new generation of supply ships in advance, as long as the slipway is vacant, it can be built, but Long Guozhang and other naval officers seem to be a little impatient for the logistics fleet that continues to use civilian transport ships, and ordered a total of five fast transport ships with large cranes from Italian shipyards, and now they have been launched one after another, as long as it takes a few months, the navy's logistics will also enter the rapid.

Of course, all this is what Liu Buyun and Lin Taizeng, who were on an ocean cruise ship at this time and would go to Germany with hundreds of sailors to receive two new battleships, did not know yet.

The Beiyang pipe belt in the past has now been cut off and has become a Pacific Navy Captain, and the straight naval uniform is white and beautiful in the light.

Standing on the deck, looking at the tranquil Pearl Harbor in front of them, both of them knew that it would not be long before the Pacific Fleet would be baptized by another rainstorm.

Because Li Mo was stabbed and seriously injured!

When the news reached the Provisional Naval Academy in Honolulu, they were listening with the young cadets to hear from Captain Fang Jin, who had just returned from vacation, to explain the recent Battle of Tsushima.

From shelling Vladivostok, luring the Russian fleet to return for reinforcements, and setting up an ambush in the Tsushima Strait to fierce artillery battles, from taking the initiative to cut off the Russian fleet's patrol formation, to using the new torpedo tactics of its own patrol formation to delay the enemy and finally achieve victory.

Listening to the vulgar Captain Fang narrating the situation of the naval battle, and watching him draw his intentions on the blackboard unnaturally, every student was enthusiastic, wishing that he could be on a certain warship at that time, even if he was a handyman.

Since the Pacific Fleet itself is also a start-up, although some foreign naval instructors have been hired, it is not possible to compare the level of teaching and naval research with the old naval powers, so the navy has always required all front-line captains to participate in personal explanations and demonstrations, and use the experience they have gained from blood and fire to nourish these still slightly immature naval seedlings.

However, with the successive victories of the navy, the experience is becoming more and more abundant, the talent gap is being bridged rapidly, and I heard that a new naval academy will be built in Dalian Bay, in addition, in order to let more colleges have practical experience, this time the navy also deliberately put the retired Longxiao, and the Honolulu, which has completed the experimental mission, into the naval academy for the use of the students.

Especially when the Long Xiao was delivered, not long after the two of them entered the group, looking at the flagship of the old fleet, which was no worse than Dingzhen, the sailors slowly lowered the naval flag, and the veterans present were all teary-eyed. And they didn't expect that Li Mo would personally order this ship to be launched for less than ten years, and many countries couldn't even find a comparable ironclad ship to retire.

At a cursory glance, the retirement of the Dragon Xiao represents a new era for the Pacific Fleet, but it is not until they begin to slowly understand the team that they know that at this moment, the Navy's eyes have gone beyond the powerful single warship, and have slowly begun to consider the logistics and maintenance of the convenience of the surname.

Don't underestimate this seemingly trivial matter, both of them are excellent naval people who have studied in the UK, and naturally know what it means to do so, and the retirement of the Long Xiao officially represents the standardization and standardization of the Pacific Fleet.

The more they knew, the more eager the two of them were to join the team, and at this time, the news suddenly came that Li Mo had been assassinated and injured.

When the news came, the whole of Honolulu was shaken, not only those naval cadets wrote that they should immediately tear up the agreement and declare war on Yumoto, but even the newspapers and ordinary people in the past few days have expressed their desire to retaliate, and some radical people even ran to the door of Yumoto's mansion in Honolulu and demanded that Minister Yuben leave Honolulu immediately.

In those days, the two of them were also restless, angry at their own shamelessness, and restless about whether they would be lucky enough to participate in the next military operation.

When I was about to write and recommend myself, the order came down at the same time.

After completing three months of study and becoming familiar with the command style of the Pacific Army, Ye Zuqi and Sa Zhenbing will serve as the captains of the two Russian-made heavy cruisers that are being refitted in the Ryukyus, and Xie Baozhang will become the staff officers of another Russian-made heavy cruiser, and the two of them will be sent to Germany to receive the two new battleships that have been launched there.

The ship shuddered slightly, the thick cables were untied, the heavy iron anchors in the bow were retracted little by little with the help of hinges, and the whining whistle resounded through the harbor at the same time.

Soon after, the large-scale shipyard appeared in front of the two of them, looking at the four docks that were brightly lit but sealed, and could only hear the roar inside, the two looked at each other.

The four dockyards have been closed for two years, what is being built inside? The dock needs to be closed!

As the shipyard in their sight became farther and farther away, the two quickly threw away their distractions, they didn't know if they could catch up with the future big war in Germany this time, but they didn't have the slightest frustration, because in distant Germany, two more powerful battleships were waiting for them! ——

Early in the morning, Yamamoto Gonbei hurriedly rushed into Yokosuka, a well-established base for the Honpo Navy at this time, although the Qingdao ships were extremely busy, and the sailors were also taking advantage of this winter to strengthen the port to repair machinery and prepare for the four capital ships that were about to go home, but this scene obviously could not arouse any interest in him.

Idiot!

Cursing, he quickly ran past several of the saluting sailors, rushed into the office building located in the base, grabbed the phone and roared, and then the sirens sounded throughout the base.

Listening to the whimpering alarm, his face darkened. Originally, this period of time should have been his happiest day, several ordered small warships had returned, and he himself had to take people to Britain to receive warships immediately, plus four American-made capital ships still had more than a month to arrive, so he was not only busy, but the smile on his face gradually increased.

It's just that today he was really a little unhappy, and scolded the bastards of the Yuben Army in the Tokyo base camp who were becoming more and more corrupt and incompetent, but still wanted to hold on to power!

Because these people would send someone to assassinate Li Mo, you can go as long as you go, it's good to kill that Hawaiian bastard, but now they only hurt one of someone's arms, what's the matter?

All right.

Now the entire Pacific Army is furious, shelling Yiju for several days in a row, frightening the little face of the guy in Yama County Aritomo sent a telegram asking for support, and His Majesty the Emperor had to grovel and write a letter of apology to others, hoping to prevent others from going to war through children's methods, what is this called!

Now people are directly slapping their faces! Proposed a fucking two million pounds for medical expenses and mental damages, is that Young Master Li poor and crazy? Two million pounds in damages, and what kind of mental damages, what a mess of!

Yamamoto Gonbei jumped to his feet at that time, if he could have come up with two million at this moment, he might as well buy a few more capital ships immediately! Of course, it's not that it can't be taken out, the central bank does have a hundred tons of gold reserves, but can that be moved?! If the gold is gone, all the banknotes issued by the state will become waste paper, not to mention the war, I am afraid that the whole country will immediately and completely split!

Moreover, what is worrying is that this time even Britain will not help its side, and in the past few days, the British ambassador to Yue has repeatedly threatened to demand that the British political axe must give an explanation on this matter. I also explained that the corpses of those soldiers of the army were taken pictures and sent to the base camp, and they were almost printed in newspapers to publicize them!

Seeing that the capital ships are going to come back in half a year, but this incident happened, Yamamoto Gonbei can't do it without scolding his mother, and the most odious thing is that the Pacific Army has said that it will blockade the coast of Yumoto to capture the murderers who may escape and come back, and sink all ships that do not obey the inspection!

Sink all ships that don't obey inspections!

Is this called catching a murderer? This is simply a naked threat, and the most odious thing is that the army idiots in the base camp even ordered themselves to immediately send warships to sea to ensure coastal safety!

What is this? Send warships? Send a sampan to the sea, and people will sink you!

But don't you send it?

The two secretly built cruisers in the Yokohama dockyard have reached the most critical moment, and if they are blocked at this time, then wouldn't the secret plan that drained the last drop of blood in the past two years be in vain?!

In order to hide the secret, the navy deliberately did not even use European and American transport ships this time, and first secretly transported the purchased main guns to Brazil, and then prepared to quietly transfer them back from there in the name of purchasing grain. Originally, all this was carried out very carefully, and it had also avoided the European and American routes that were closely monitored by the Pacific Army, but who would have thought that the fleet was about to come back, and it would encounter such a thing!

Once the transport ship transporting the artillery cannot return to the original in time, or is discovered by the opponent, then the whole plan will be exposed, which will arouse the vigilance of the Pacific Army, and the strange soldiers will become scrapped!

Therefore, even if there is a rain of bullets outside, he must take a gamble and protect the two freighters that have mixed into the convoy!

Gonbei Yamamoto raised his head, and the harbor was full of sailors running in a hurry and looking nervous, and the wharfside Izumi, the Suma and two other torpedo ships that had just returned from Austria-Hungary had begun to raise fire and anchor.

Although he still had two new cruisers coming and going from Austria-Hungary at the same time, he was reluctant to let those two warships take the risk, so he had to risk that the Suma and Izumi would carry out this dangerous mission.

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the four warships this time, except for the second-hand ship and the Izumi, were all over 22 knots, and the fastest warship in the Pacific Army was only 20 knots.

Let's hope speed helps them get the job done!

An hour later, the four warships that were ready to leave Yokosuka Port slowly, looking at the sailors on the deck who had just transferred from seamen and fishermen to full-service, Yamamoto Gonbei opened his mouth sharply, but he couldn't say a word......
