Chapter 107: Which Excuse to Use? (Make up for yesterday's three watches)

In the end, Xiao Fei negotiated a price of two million taels of silver with the person who claimed to be Li Fang, and he was going to sink two of the Japanese Navy's warships "Takachiho", "Fuso" and "Sulang". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Fang, who did not take advantage of any price negotiations, chose to let the Great Song Dynasty sink the largest tonnage warship in the Japanese Combined Fleet in the waters near Liaodong.

And for the traversers who had already decided to use 500-pound bombs, the displacement of hundreds or thousands of tons did not add any difficulty to their operations at all. Any Japanese warship, if it was touched by a 500-pound or more bomb at a well-designed angle, the result would be a one-shot soul, unless it was close to the coast when it was attacked, there was no hope of forcibly rushing into the beach and running aground to save its life. Of course, this was the only hope for the Japanese ship to survive considering that the keel was not blown up.

A 500-pound delayed detonation bomb cut into the hull from the top of an unprotected ship and detonated in the bottom compartment. Even if the keel is not blown up, the hole that is blasted out is enough for the warship to sink in a short time. The huge water pressure at the bottom of the ship could tear the hole blown out by the bomb bigger and bigger, and even the blessing of the gods and Buddhas could not control this fatal wound.

Lord Zhongtang did not have so much cash in his hand, which was guessed by the people in the morning, and this agreement was a secret agreement after all, and it was impossible for Lord Zhongtang to openly embezzle the military funds sent by the Qing court to pay, so the installment payment became another request of Li Fang.

What surprised Li Fang was that this person, who had quarreled with him in front of him and could be said to be a must-fight, readily agreed to the installment payment plan he proposed.

How did Li Fang know that although the crossing people appointed Xiao Fei, the former debt collector, to negotiate, the psychological price of the Provisional Executive Committee was still not much higher than that of Lu Xiaobei, and Zhao Yi and they always thought that if they could sell two aerial bombs for 800,000 taels of silver, it would be a very good result. In addition, the Interim Executive Committee considered that Li Zhongtang did not have much money, and felt that it would be a very good result to receive 300,000 taels of silver for the down payment.

At this time, the result of the negotiations was that the total price of sinking the two Japanese ships was 2 million taels of silver, the down payment was 400,000 taels of silver, and the remaining amount was allowed to be paid by Li Hongzhang in eight installments within two years, that is, once a quarter. However, the former collector will not let Lord Zhongtang take advantage of anything, and the installment payment will be interested.

Li Fang also demanded that the secret agreement be added with a clause that if the war became tight, Lord Nakado had the right to request the purchase of this service again.

What? Hao Dajian almost fainted when he heard Xiao Fei's relayed request, what kind of cowardly person would make such a request? The Japanese Navy sank five of your warships at Daitogou, with a total displacement of more than 7,000 tons. Now I'll give you two Japanese capital ships with a total displacement of about six thousand or seven thousand. From an arithmetic point of view, the total tonnage of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Japanese Combined Fleet returned to the starting line before the Battle of Dadonggou.

Now the Beiyang Naval Division relies on the fort to defend, and you told me that the war will be tight in the future, and I will help you bomb the Japanese warships again? It's okay to be a man with a little ambition, Lord Zhongtang, how much are you not optimistic about these sailors and generals under your command?

In the end, the Executive Committee agreed to add this clause, and it was impossible for such a secret agreement to be announced to the public in the near future, otherwise Lord Zhongtang would not be able to escape from the charge of colluding with the anti-thieves and rebelling against the party. Then you might as well add this non-binding clause to it, if Li Hongzhang dares to play tricks and not pay the bill, then let's use a cannon to speak, at that time there will be nothing to talk about in the same vein of China.

After Li Fang finished talking about the secret agreement, he left from Dalian Bay on the smuggling boat parked there by foreigners, and the crossers, who had picked up a big bargain, began to have a headache about using that version of the story to deal with the Japanese army's inquiries after the bombing.

There are many versions of the story given by Zhao Zeshi, there are versions that completely throw the pot to the Qing army, there are versions that accuse the Japanese army of sending spies to assassinate members of the Great Song Dynasty, there are versions of the Japanese army massacring nearby civilians and insulting women, and there are several versions of the bombing of bridges and the disappearance of patrol soldiers that copy the 918 and 77 incidents of the cottage.

"It's good for me to look at a story, and push it to the only remaining torpedo boats of the Qing army in Lushun, saying that they used torpedoes to sink Japanese ships. Anyway, according to Hao Dajian's bombing plan, the bomb was to be detonated in the bottom compartment of the warship, which looked very much like being hit by a torpedo. Zhao Yi said.

"I think this can be done, we launched an attack at night again, most of the crew are resting, and when they wake up, they only know that there is a lot of water in the bottom compartment, and there has been an explosion, and they can't see the process of the bomb touching the ship. Completely dumping the pot to the Qing army, Lord Zhongtang can still relieve the pressure brought by the imperial party. Lu Xiangyang is also optimistic about this story.

"Pull it down, those little wrecked boats in Lushun are used by those runners to cross the sea and escape for their lives. You are stupid as a Japanese, who would believe this statement? Feng Yunyi complained about the flaws of this story.

"Hey, you can't say that, brother, whoever has the big fist has the final say. We insisted that we had sold high-powered torpedoes to the Qing army, and we didn't know anything else. It's just selling weapons, which great power hasn't peddled weapons all over the world these days, why can't I sell them in the Great Song Dynasty? Anyway, I don't admit that I bombed your warship, whoever asserts it will provide evidence, and you can show it if you have evidence. Anyway, we have big fists, so we don't accept it. Zhao Zeshi continued to give him this version of the story.

"Then let's use this version of the story, and find a way to let Li Hongzhang cooperate with it, so that they will automatically come out to top the pot. However, the telegraph lines of the Qing army were cut off by the Japanese army, and I am afraid that the bombing operation will be delayed again. Speaking of this, Zhao Yi began to pinch the pencil again.

"yes, postpone this D+45 and it's coming, this time I don't know what the director team is going to do again, last time the director team gave so much ammunition, and the result was a misjudgment that there was a large-scale conflict. They're not going to come back with something to make up for this time, are they? I always felt bad luck. Feng Yunyi said.

"I don't need you to have a hunch, what good things have I encountered since I was involved in this battlefield reality show, and the director team still needs you to have a hunch if they want to do something? If you can guess a third of the director's intentions, we don't have to be so passive. Da Chen Yongqing has a lot of complaints about this former micro-film director who relied on propaganda to predict the intentions of the director team and entered the interim executive committee.

"Okay, stop complaining. This time it's at least better than D+15, and now the Japanese army is really hurt and scared by us. If we had postponed the bombing plan to D+45, it is estimated that the Japanese would not have been as crazy as last time on D+45. In addition, there are already many indigenous people in the area under our control who have a good relationship with us, and it will be much less difficult to play this trick of teleportation in all directions than last time. Zhao Yi said.

Although he said that, that was not Zhao Yi's true thoughts, as the chairman of the interim executive committee, he couldn't still spread negative energy at this time, try to say the advantages, so that everyone would not be so panicked about the teleportation day. (To be continued.) )
