While Koman was cautiously shopping in Shanghai's Shiliyang Field, the war room at the base of the Green Paint District of Sanlibao on the Liaodong Peninsula was filled with smoke, and a group of people with cigarette rolls were discussing a pile of warship models on the sand table.

"A few days ago, our aerial reconnaissance team found that the Japanese army had significantly accelerated the speed of material transfer at Huayuankou, and judging from the high-definition video taken in the air, the Japanese began to use steam-powered sampans to drag those sampans that had no power, and it was common to see a steamship sampan pulling four or five small sampans in tandem to the shore. In this way, the efficiency of transshipment has been significantly improved. It is expected that the Japanese army will be able to fill the material gap caused by the blows and blackmail of our army in the short term. As the de facto chief of staff, Lu Xiangyang briefly introduced the recent movements of the Japanese army.

"Why haven't you found the devil using steam-powered sampans to transport supplies before?" Xiao Fei asked.

"Because of the Qing army's erosive performance in Korea, they think that they can quickly capture the Dalian Bay Fort by land, so that they will have a wharf and a trestle, and use a woolly power sampan? As a result, I didn't expect to kill our Cheng Biting Jin halfway, they didn't fight any of them in Dalian Bay, Jinzhou City, and they also folded a lot of equipment and soldiers, so they had to find a way to die at the entrance of the garden to come to shore with supplies and personnel. Hao Dajian said.

"It seems that the Japanese are determined to take this Lushun, and they have gathered enough supplies in such a short period of time, what should we do? Coman has been gone for a few days, and there has been no news so far, so he won't run away with our money, right? Xiao Fei said.

The money mentioned by Xiao Fei is the special fund approved by the Provisional Executive Committee for the purchase of materials that are in short supply in the public sector. Of course, it is another set of rhetoric for Koman to cross the public, they call the action of purchasing scarce materials this time as the purchase of New Year's goods, and the special funds as Zhao Yi's personal funding. Obviously, he was besieged so that the soy sauce, tea, oil, salt and vinegar were gone, and he said that he was happily doing New Year's goods, and it was obviously that he had just blackmailed the Japanese of a sum of money, but he wanted to say that it was Zhao Yi's personal funding. Pulling the tiger's skin as a banner has infiltrated every word spoken by the crossing public, and some people even habitually think that there is a great Song in Zhen Nima overseas.

"What are you talking nonsense, Coman is not stupid, can't he see how much profit this plane can bring him? What can I do with the money I spend on purchasing supplies? Can we ask him to do something that can be brought back with a message? Be patient, don't be foolish. Zhao Yi said to Xiao Fei.

"There is no news from Koman, but Li Hongzhang is in a hurry, and the person with the message has already arrived in the camp of Xu Bangdao in Jinzhou City. Lord Zhongtang didn't care if we were thieves at this time, so he came up directly and asked the price, hoping that we would negotiate the price today, and we would do it tomorrow. It seems that the people of the imperial party are not less disgusted with him. Lu Xiaobei said slowly.

"Hey, this feeling is good, a big deal is coming. I'm familiar with this matter, isn't it just collecting money to do things for others? Let me go and talk to the person sent by Li Hongzhang and promise to blackmail him into one or two million taels of silver to spend it. Xiao Fei said excitedly.

"Are you crazy? The purchase price of the capital ships of the Beiyang Fleet, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, is more than 1.3 million taels, and you want to blackmail Li Hongzhang for 2 million taels of silver, just to blow up and sink one or two Japanese warships? Lu Xiaobei has a deep dislike for Xiao Fei, the former debt collector.

"Hey, my sister, you can't settle accounts like this for loans, and you can't pay yourself for this kind of business. I don't care how much they cost when they bought it from Dingyuan Zhenyuan, you have the ability to let Ding Ruchang drive these two ships to fight the Japanese. Hmph, even if he were given two more of these ships, he wouldn't be able to kill the Japanese. Now we are holding knives, they are meat on the chopping board, if we want to bargain, we really won't do this deal, and the Beiyang Fleet will wait to be blocked by the Japanese in Weihaiwei. Xiao Fei looked like he was not stingy.

"Who is your sister, don't recognize relatives, there are no black members in our family." Lu Xiaobei thought to himself, didn't I just lose myself back then, there was no good person in this loan collection.

"Okay, stop bickering, talk well, don't make the building crooked. My opinion is that Xiao Fei should be in charge of this meeting with Deputy Li Hongzhang, and the Military Intelligence Department will assist him in completing this mission. Lu Xiangyang preferred Xiao Fei, who has more experience in blackmail, to preside over the negotiations.

"However, this is the work of our military intelligence department...... "Lu Xiaobei instinctively refused to cooperate with Xiao Fei.

"Xiaobei, the big picture is important, and we really need this start-up capital. Last time, due to my lack of personal experience, I received a ransom of 10,000 taels from the Japanese, and this lesson is profound enough. This blackmail, oh no, this kind of negotiation should be handled by experienced people. Zhao Yi interrupted Lu Xiaobei's words.

"Xiao Fei, you should pay attention to your personal image when negotiating, you are now an officer of the Great Song Marine Corps, you are no longer a debt collector, and you must speak in line with your current identity. Go back and ask the MI to give you an outline of your speech, and change all your black words well, using some civilized words. Zhao Yi turned his head and said to Xiao Fei.

"Then you let this hooligan leader dock with Zhao Zeshi in our department, he is now the pen of our department." Lu Xiaobei agreed with Zhao Yi and Lu Xiangyang's opinions, but he still refused to cooperate with Xiao Fei.

"Well, this kid made a military uniform that is not like a four, but it's quite good at making up stories, I read a few stories he wrote about provocations by the Japanese army, and it's really good." Lu Xiangyang shook the materials in his hand and said.

"That's it, anyway, it's just an excuse for us to beat people and make trouble. What are you afraid of with your fists, you will fight it, and you are afraid that he will fight back. Now I'm afraid that if they don't attack, our heavy chariots will be trapped near the base by these river bridges, and if the devils dare to come, they will beat them to death. "Xiao Fei belongs to the faction that is superstitious and crosses the force value, and he is very unpleasant to Hao Dajian's cautious style of the data party.

"Xiao Fei, pay attention to your words, don't show up again when negotiating!" Zhao Yi reminded him again that this operation can be regarded as the biggest source of income for the Crossing Crowd at present, and Zhao Yi couldn't help but be nervous.

"What the hooligan leader said is rough and not rough, some people are tinkering with this kind of data every day, that kind of data, you take thousands of pounds of bombs to blow up thousands of tons of ironclad ships, why do you want a gross data!" Although Lu Xiaobei did not wait to meet the former debt collector, he also hated the various requirements of the data party.

"Xiaobei, are you making excuses for being passive and slacking off? We only have a few thousand-pound aerial bombs, or high-grade goods like ground-penetrating bombs, which may be of great use in the future. With only detailed information, the Japanese warships can be eliminated with Hellfire anti-tank missiles, so there is no need to use those weapons of mass destruction. Hao Dajian defended the data party.

"I'm slacking off on your sister's work, my mother has been so busy these days that my aunt is late, and none of you big men can do anything. How to deal with this Dalian Bay, the executive committee gave a letter! Zhao Yi, your Dalian Bay family has sold out everything that can be exchanged for money, and there is a possibility of running away at any time, what are you going to do? "It seems that Queen Lucifer is really a bit of an endocrine disorder, and even the chairman of the executive committee has sprayed. (To be continued.) )
