Such a naval lineup can indeed be used as a synonym for pride, Captain Mir" continued, "The Chinese Nanyang Naval Division, Your Excellency the Colonel has decided on a plan, then I will no longer talk nonsense, I personally think that we can help General Miller first, we can send our small cruisers and other ships to patrol the Red River, reach Thang Long Province, and help, then we can protect Thang Long Province on our behalf, Leave the task of clearing the logistics channel to the five thousand soldiers in Thang Long Mansion who were frightened by the Black Flag Army, so that we will not have much delay, in addition, we can also kill some Chinese outside Thang Long Province to train, so that everyone can feel the taste of killing, we have been stationed in Haiphong Port for a long time.

"The previous Sino-Japanese maritime detachment has not yet been included in the formation, and our waiting is effective, but I want to emphasize one point," said Deputy Commander Lisby, who was originally the commander of the Sino-Japanese maritime detachment, and after the merger of the two detachments, he served as deputy commander, "Unlike the incompetent army, we do not need to wait for the arrival of the North African fleet to attack the Chinese navy, we need to hurry, not like the army, waiting for support, the Chinese are now in the Guangdong Fujian sea control, Obviously, they are also preparing for the next big war, and if we are not able to occupy a favorable advantage in time and space, then it will be very difficult for the navy to fight against China. ”

Everyone's opinion has its own reason, Gu Ba continued to think, he was a very impulsive character, but he also understood that the North Vietnam war situation, the army's combat victory also occupied a very important position, he thought about it for a while, or decided to listen to Mi Le's request, "First send small tonnage cruisers, cruisers, gunboats to patrol the Red River, no matter what, we must protect Thang Long Mansion, so that at least we have no fault, as for the raid on the Guangdong military port, "Gu Ba touched his beard," Don't wait for them to come back, let them leave for Thang Long Mansion tomorrow, we are only responsible for sending warships, but we won't shoot any more extra soldiers, we need to leave for Guangdong immediately! He stood up, "After three days of rest, we will set off, French warriors," he waved his hand nervously, "the Chinese are now very arrogant, they have probably forgotten that twenty years ago, we were beaten by our invincible navy, and not a single ship in the coastal zone could see the tragic scene, we, as a responsible power, must let the enemy understand this, the French navy is invincible!" ”

The deputy commander-in-chief interjected without knowing the times, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Colonel, what if the Chinese come to raid at this time?" ”

"No, they don't have this ability," Gu Ba said proudly, obviously although he was overshadowed by the Black Flag Army, but he never thought that the Chinese had any advantage in naval combat effectiveness on the sea, "The Nanyang Naval Division is by no means our opponent, this is undoubted, so they have been cowering in the military port of Guangdong, did not dispatch, only dared to send some Guangdong Naval Division's sampans to patrol, these ships have been sunk by our patrol small ships in the Beibu Gulf, they dare not come, I was very worried that the Chinese Beiyang Naval Division would come to the southern sea to help fight, but there was no need to worry about this, I got reliable information, the Chinese Empress Dowager was very afraid of death, and was reluctant to send the Beiyang Naval Division, which was amazing in combat effectiveness and also very advanced, to fight with us, for the sake of the war, their Empress Dowager had been relieved of an official position, and several warships in Shanghai Port had also returned to Qingdao, we did not have to worry about this at all, we only needed to defeat the Nanyang Naval Division, Then, when the North African fleet arrives in Vietnam, they will converge and go north, and then defeat China's largest naval and military force, then," Guba's eyes showed an excited light, "our French tricolor flag will flutter in the seas of East Asia!" So trade will be interrupted, then the Chinese will definitely kneel under our military boots and ask for peace, we don't have to enter the Dagu Pass, we don't have to land, yes, we don't need to fight them again on land, as long as we rule the seas of East Asia, then we can grab far greater benefits than our predecessors, and you," he glanced at the officers, "your names will surely be forever engraved on the top of the pyramid of glory of the French Republic!" ”

The next day, about fifteen small warships whistled and entered the mouth of the Red River under the leadership of an ironclad ship, all the way west, ready to set off for Thang Long Province. There is a merchant surnamed Li, who claimed to have grown up in Saigon, who can speak a few words of French, and sells flour at a very fair price, and gives kickbacks without frowning, and sometimes provides logistics officers with a few boxes of cigars from Havana, which is the favorite thing of the French, so the French buy flour and meat from his trading house. On this day, after smoking a cigar, the logistics officer was very sorry to tell the merchant surnamed Li that the purchase of fresh beef needed in the next few days was reduced to half, and the merchant surnamed Li obviously did not care about this matter, nor did he ask why the purchase volume was reduced, and naturally he would not ask the whereabouts of the French fleet, but only said lightly that the waves of the warships sailing into the Red River caused the flour transported by his ships to be damp, and the logistics quartermaster apologized and explained one point, "A large amount of meat and flour is needed next, Hope you can provide us with good. ”

The eyes of the businessman surnamed Li flashed, but the French non-commissioned officer was fascinated by the smoke emitted by the Havana cigar, and did not notice the expression of the businessman surnamed Li, and the businessman surnamed Li immediately agreed, and explained that since there were so many goods, exceeding the usual standard of three times, and taking care of their own business, then they could provide door-to-door delivery, and they would personally deliver it to the ships of their respective warships, so that the big guys could pick it up for themselves. The quartermaster was satisfied, and after receiving a large kickback, he patted his ass and returned to the port, and in this way the matter was done in order. (To be continued.) )
