Port of Guangzhou.

The wharf of Guangzhou Port is very busy all year round, and the flow of people and goods is endless, never stopped. However, today seems to be particularly busy, and in the flow of people preparing to leave the port, there are many more men and women who look like rich and noble families, and they look panicked, holding large bags and small bags, and craned their necks to watch every steamer entering the port.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler ran over and said to one of the fat old men, "Master, there is no longer a passenger ship." Only one cargo ship is willing to take a ......"

The fat old man frowned and said, "The cargo ship is fine! Anyway, it won't take long to get to Hong Kong." How much does he cost?"

The steward replied: "The owner of the ship said that a man wants 1o pieces of ocean ......"

"How far is Hong Kong? Why didn't he grab it?" the fat old man jumped up suddenly.

The middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but said, "Dad, when is this happening?" You still care about a few dollars, if the bandits come, no matter how much money they have, it will be theirs......

The fat old man's face turned pale, and he said to the housekeeper with a painful face: "Okay, good, at this price, let's get on the boat quickly......" He gritted his teeth and scolded: "Grandma, those damn bandits, you know how to bully honest people like us, they are hating the rich!"

A gentry next to him chimed in: "That's it, those damn mud legs, obviously rented the land but it is not easy to pay the rent, and now there are vultures and bandits to support it, and it is even more lawless." ”

"Yes, the bandits compete with the people for profit, and they are especially enemies of the kind gentry like us, and they are the public enemies of the world!" These rich and noble families echoed and scolded the Socialist Party together.

These people were all the former ruling class who were preparing to flee, mainly the gentry, compradors, and the Eight Banners nobles in the city of Guangzhou. As a matter of fact, the methods used by the CSD to liquidate the old ruling class were not very harsh, as long as the gentry and landlords who had a good reputation were only forced to buy land, and moved out of the original villages after being separated from small families, they were not deliberately targeted in other aspects. Like those compradors and capitalists who have no land and do not live in the countryside, as long as they are not the kind of people who have done too many bad things and have a bad reputation, they will not be affected, and they will not even have to move their homes.

Moreover, the CSD government encouraged and supported their transformation into national industry and commerce, and many former capitalists, compradors, and gentry are now living a more prosperous life than before, because all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished, logistics have been smoothed, and all kinds of new technologies and equipment have been introduced. Of course, the premise is that they have not done anything bad in the past, and that they can actively cooperate with and support the work of the CSD.

These people who are ready to flee are the kind of inferior gentry, compradors, and capitalists who usually do too much bad things. They hated and feared the political liquidation of the Science and Technology Party. They felt that they could not escape punishment, so as soon as they heard the news of the CSD attack, they immediately packed up and prepared to flee from Guangzhou.

Although they were extremely hostile to the CSD, they had no confidence in the Qing Dynasty's force, and they did not think that Xiliang would be able to hold back the CSD attack. Here they are just going to go to Hong Kong first and then make plans, whether it is to go north to the Qing court's ruled area, or to stay in Hong Kong as a public servant, anyway, Guangzhou must not stay.

However, they didn't notice that on a western-style building not far from them, three young men were watching them with the eyes of a fat sheep.

..............................................................................

The bungalow was a British-owned hotel, and three young people were in a room on the third floor, with a view of the entire pier.

All three men were about twenty years old, apparently the one in the middle, who looked like he was twenty-five, tall and burly, obviously Chinese, but wearing a British naval captain's uniform without rank and insignia. The other two were of mixed Eastern and Western faces, the younger one was less than twenty, and the older one was about twenty-seven or eighteen.

The old mixed-race man said in a somewhat bizarre official dialect: "Brother Kaicheng, I have inquired clearly, these guys are really fat sheep, all rich and noble......"

The Kaicheng brother put down the binoculars and said, "Mark, we are looking for a name this time, if we get a good person, it will not be good." Have they all been identified? Make no mistake. Otherwise, we don't look good on our faces......"

Mark said: "Brother Kaicheng, you can rest assured. It's definitely not a mistake, these grandsons are either rich and unkind, or corrupt officials. The gunman I was in the United States in the past few years was not for nothing, no matter who it was, he could get a sense of his way with a few glances......"

"Okay, that's good, if it happens this time. We can also hold our heads high to take refuge in Mr. Wen, those of us who eat knives and heads are different from those cultural people, even if it is to worship the mountain and worship the pier, there is no reason to be empty-handed, let alone take refuge in ......"

Although this Kaicheng brother is full of the language of the characters. But his body is standing upright, and even when he talks about these very discordant words, his military posture and appearance are meticulous. Every move is full of military style, and it is fully worthy of that officer's uniform.

His name is Li Ang, the word is Kaicheng, and he is indeed a graduate of the Royal Naval College Greenwich, England, and during his internship in the British Navy, he obtained the rank of lieutenant, but he does not belong to any army now. As for the tone of his mouth, there is no way to do it, you can't expect a pirate family, ahem, how elegant a child of a maritime merchant family can be.

"Brother Kaicheng, what you said is so right, otherwise we didn't have a relationship with Mr. Wen before, so we would not be taken seriously if we went over like this. ”

Li Ang nodded and didn't speak, he didn't think much of Mark's words in his heart, to say that he still had a friendship with Mr. Wen with his background, and now he had two letters of recommendation in his luggage, both of which were relatively weighty figures, one was an ally of Mr. Wen's long-term cooperation, and the other was a cadre of the Science and Technology Party. It's just that how can he show his ability by relying on letters of recommendation? The navy's methods are not yet easy to use, but the family heirloom can still be used.

"Xiao Feng, you hurry up to the docks, tell Boss Li, and let him go as planned......" he said to the little half-breed beside him.

"Okay, I'll go and ...... right away" Xiao Feng agreed, and he was ready to come out.

This mixed-race child named Xiao Feng was born very beautifully, with a very beautiful and delicate face with both Eastern and Western characteristics, if he wasn't taller and had a short hair, I'm afraid most people would treat him as a girl. If you stay long and change into women's clothes, you will definitely be able to kill n many beauties in seconds, and you can be regarded as the best pseudo-girl.

........................................................................

At this moment, the people on the dock suddenly panicked, the crowd shouted wildly at the northern sky, some people scurried around in panic, and some immediately knelt on the ground.

"What's going on outside......" Leon was taken aback.

"What are they looking at? It seems to be a heavenly ......," Mark was also very strange.

The window of their room was facing south, and they couldn't see the north, and they couldn't understand what was in the sky for a while.

In a moment of surprise, Xiao Feng, who had just gone out, ran back again, and said breathlessly: "Brother Kaicheng, Mark...... Quick, fast...... Heavens!Wen Zong's army...... Heaven, from heaven......"

"What?" the two were taken aback and hurriedly rushed out of the room.

The two ran to the courtyard of the hotel, where many people had gathered at this time. Many of these people are European and American businessmen, and although they are not as exaggerated as kneeling, they are also exclaiming.

"Oh my God! such a big airship...... At least 3oo feet long!"

"How can Chinese have this kind of technology? It's incredible! There is no airship of this size in Europe......"

"Do you see, the airships are firing. God, Chinese put all the cannons on the airship!!"

When Leon and Mark looked at the northern sky, their expressions immediately became similar to those of the foreigners around them, their mouths opened wide, and their eyes were about to pop out.

At this time, in the northern sky, eight huge airships lined up in a standard battle line, and the faint sound of artillery bombardment, the fire light rising from time to time, and the smoke of gunpowder all indicated that they were carrying out artillery bombardment. The shark mouth livery on the head of the airship and the large "red pentagram and golden sickle hammer" logo on the side indicate their identity.

"It's ...... This is an air cruiser!!" Leon hurriedly raised his binoculars and observed excitedly. “...... Judging from this distance, it should be shelling the Qing army's Liuxi River defense line...... I really didn't expect Mr. Wen to ...... so quickly."

Mark also picked up the binoculars: "It's spectacular!!"

..............................................................................

If you want to say that the people who were most shocked, it was definitely not those people at the Guangzhou wharf, compared to the "observation group" near the front line, they were far less shocked.

"Chinese actually have an air fleet,!!" the British Consul General in Guangzhou said in a dry voice, and his face turned blue and white for a while.

"The cannon on them is not big, maybe a three-inch cannon. The commander of the Hong Kong garrison looked at it and said, "There won't be much threat to the imperial warships......

"What if you change it to a six-inch gun or even an eight-inch gun? I think such a big airship can be equipped with an eight-inch gun...... I don't think they don't want to pretend, but they can't build it. According to our situation, the current artillery of the CSD is all purchased, and the guns that can be mounted on airships must be specially made, and they do not have this ability. ”

The face of the commander of the Hong Kong garrison also became solemn: "If it is an eight-inch cannon, the threat will be great." Even against battleships, there is also a threat. ”

The British could think of it, and the representatives of other countries could naturally think of it, and there would be no fools in this business. Their expressions are also very heavy, and the shock and visual impact brought by the huge airship are not comparable to those small planes.

If the bombing of the planes just now only made them feel that they should pay attention to the CSD, now they feel that the CSD is already a force that can talk to them on an equal footing, at least partially.

"I think we should ask Mr. Wen if he can transfer airship technology to us. Flying warships, I think this is something that can change the way of war...... "said the U.S. Consul General in Guangzhou.

The consul general in Shanghai said: "That's right, we in the United States should also have an air fleet. With Mr. Wen's friendship with us, I don't think he will refuse...... Of course, I must admit that he is a good businessman, and we in the United States will probably have to pay some price......"

"It doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to talk, it's not a problem, it's worth exchanging a battleship for something like this. I think we should report to Mr. Minister and China immediately......" The military attache in China looked happy.

"We should contact Mr. Wen immediately and ask him not to transfer ......technology to other countries," the consul general in Guangzhou hurriedly said.

"Yes, you have to do your best!" everyone agreed.
