Chapter 133: The war resumes
E: The yield of the melon tree at the end of the previous chapter was written incorrectly, and it has now been revised
July 6, 19o9 A.D., on the Pacific Ocean.
The Black Swan is a 20,000-ton high-speed cruise ship that has just been launched for less than a year, which belongs to the Zenith Star Group and is honorably produced by Neptune Shipyard. After the completion of this ship, it will serve the Pacific Shipping Company, mainly to run the Sino-US route.
Well, it's a knockoff, based on a 21st-century luxury cruise ship. Of course, due to technical problems, the performance is much worse than the prototype, but its sci-fi shape, luxurious decoration, and much more advanced facilities than the same period have attracted the attention of many local tyrants as soon as it came out.
Now the order of the same type of ship of the [Black Swan] has exceeded 20, of which Britain has ordered five in one breath, it is said that the royal family accounts for compared to Europe, the economy of East Asia is much more backward, and there are not many people who are willing to take this kind of ship and want to travel in the United States, so the ship [Black Swan] can basically only operate with capital protection, and there is no profit. However, the Zenith Group does not care, because they have too many projects to make money, and this cruise ship is not to make money, its main purpose is to transport students in the United States, as well as business and official personnel.
There was a tennis court on the second deck, and Leon was resting on a beach chair by the tennis court, and the epaulettes on his uniform had suddenly been replaced by two bars and one star, yes, he was now a naval lieutenant. Comrade Li Ang is now a member of the naval delegation of the South China Government and has received ships in the past.
Originally, according to the plan, they should go by warship, but now the People's Navy is monitoring the Beiyang Navy and cannot draw suitable ships. So Wen Deji arranged for them to take this luxury cruise ship. Although Li Ang has been in the navy for many years, it is the first time to sit on such a tyrant cruise ship, and there are all kinds of imaginable and unexpected facilities on the cruise ship, such as a library, art museum, swimming pool, gym, tennis court, sauna, massage room and other facilities are nothing, and there is a movie theater with luxurious facilities on board, as well as an ice sports room and basketball court, and even an indoor football field.
But a group of naval officers and sailors were thundered, and it took 2 days to get used to it.
A beautiful golden waitress came over with a drink cart, including cold drinks such as cola, juice, milk tea, beer, and hot drinks
"Brother Kaicheng...... Kaicheng brother ...... "At this time, a Lori with a tennis racket ran over in a hurry. (Lori on only,Salute to the leader,n-n)oi haha)
Li Ang smiled: "Oh, it's Xiao Yueyue, what do you drink?" This Lori is Tang Shaoyi's daughter Tang Baoyue, who went to the United States with the second batch of international students this year, and went to the same road with Li Ang and their naval delegation. I don't know what's going on, this Tang family Lori has become his little tail since she met Li Ang at the sorority party a few days ago.
Tang Jia Lori replied: "I want bubble tea......"
The waitress skillfully filled a cup of milk tea, inserted a straw and handed it to her, and said in a somewhat weird Chinese: "Lovely young lady, give you milk tea...
Tang Baoyue took the cup and said politely: "Thank you, Sister Louise......"
She didn't take a few sips, then ran to Li Ang and said, "Brother Kaicheng...... Play tennis with me......"
"Uh...... Well......"
As soon as Li Ang stood up, he heard someone shouting: "Major Li Ang, Major Li Ang"
Looking back, it was a fellow ensign. The second lieutenant named Yu Pao hurriedly ran over, saluted him, and said, "Comrade Major, please go to the conference room for a meeting immediately." ”
"Okay, I'll go to ...... right away" After speaking, he spread his hands to Lori: "Oh, Xiao Yueyue, I'm so sorry, I'm going to a meeting, and I have to play tennis next time......"
"Yours will be a lot, open every day......" Little Lori said with a pout.
[Black Swan] conference room.
The head of the naval delegation was Colonel Lin Han, who also presided over the meeting.
A half-German, a German-Chinese ethnograph, he was a German-Chinese expatriate who had previously served in the German Navy. Later, he saw Wen Desi's "Materialist China", and soon accepted the idea of scientific socialism, and after learning the news of Wen Zong's uprising, he retired from the German Navy and prepared to return to China to participate in the revolution.
And he didn't come back alone, he also brought back his fiancée Hannah, a blue-eyed Germanic beauty. He was a major commander before retiring from the German Navy, serving as captain of a destroyer, second officer on a cruiser, and finally captain of a battleship. He served in the German Navy for ten years and has considerable experience. After the establishment of the People's Navy, he was immediately reused, and his current position is the captain of the heavy cruiser "Paradise Mountain" (the former French Navy's "Joan of Arc" armored cruiser, after China bought it, it was renamed "Heaven Mountain" and was organized as a heavy cruiser).
After seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Han began to speak.
"Comrades, now I would like to announce to you the latest news, the final decisive battle between our people's government and the Beiyang government began in the early hours of this morning," Lin Han said with a happy face.
"Hooray"
"Long live the revolution, long live the liberation"
"Long live Chairman Wen, long live the Chinese Scientific Socialist Party, long live the Chinese People's Liberation Army"
"Great, finally the whole of China will be liberated"
"Oops, it's a pity we didn't catch up."
While the officers and men were happy, they also felt extremely sorry that they could not participate.
Lin Han smiled: "Comrades, don't worry. Our task is also very important, and when we take back the battleship and two destroyers, the strength of our people's navy will be greatly enhanced, and it will be a leap forward, and you are still afraid that there will be no war? Compared with those great powers, what is Beiyang? Japan is eyeing our country, not to mention that they still occupy our Liaodong and Taiwan, and Chairman Wen has said that there will definitely be a war between China and Japan. ”
"If I fight Japan, I must participate in the Snow Shame Jiawu"
"Yes, Snow Shame Jiawu must make Little Japan look good this time"
When the officers and men heard this, they immediately became excited, knowing that the number one imaginary enemy of the Chinese People's Navy is the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the Beiyang Navy is not at all
After everyone calmed down a little for a while, Li Ang stood up and asked, "Comrade Colonel, the United States is sending ...... this time The battleships sold to us should be four, right? Why are they six now......?"
Xiao Li mentioned it, and everyone also noticed this quantity problem. Some people thought to themselves that this might be Comrade Lin Han's slip of the tongue. After all, this battleship is not a cabbage in the field, so there may be two more at once. Eagle sauce can come up with four ships this time is also the limit, although they still have more than two dozen ships at home, but they also have a lot of pressure on themselves, both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean have to be configured, and the current number is not enough. You know, Niu Niu's family now has more than 100 battleships
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Lin Han smiled: "That's right, it's six battleships, I'm not wrong." Sold ...... in the U.S. It is true that there are four ships sold to us, that is, the four ships of e-Gui B4. The two extra ones are the old man star ...... in the United Kingdom."
"What? Didn't the British support Yuan Datou? Didn't they always impose an arms embargo on us, why did they sell us battleships now?" Li Ang was taken aback.
"Comrade Li Ang, you are absolutely right, the arms embargo imposed by the British on us has not been lifted until now. Lin Han explained: "But these two old man ships were not sold to us by the United Kingdom, the seller was the Republic of Chile...... Chile has not imposed an arms embargo on us," Lin Han laughed like a fox who had stolen a chicken, because he had proposed this method of transferring arms purchases.
"I ......" everyone was thundered by Niu Niu's discipline.
"And how much did we spend?" asked Leon.
"The old man star has a total of 2o million pounds, of which 20,000 is earned by the Chilean, and the British sell it to Chile for 1oo million pounds......"
", this British guy is too dark, 2o million pounds, this is all a dreadnought, they are looking at our urgent need for warships, the lion opens his mouth......" Leon couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he felt that his army was pitted by cattle and cows, a second-hand ship actually dared to offer a price of 1oo million pounds, and Chile is also black, Nima, you can make 20,000 yuan for nothing if you change hands, where to find this kind of business.
Lin Han said: "I also reported this matter to my superiors, but Chairman Wen said that money is used to spend, and when it should be spent, you must be willing to spend it." £20,000 is not much, as long as we can train a first-class navy, it is nothing. Comrades, this is the concern of Chairman Wen and the party organization for our navy, so after we get the warship, we must conscientiously study, train hard, and become a first-class navy capable of fighting tough battles and winning battles as soon as possible, so as to live up to the expectations of the country and the people......
Zhili, Wuqiao.
“...... Immediately sent a telegram to the Central Military Commission, and our army conquered the Wuqiao defense line at 11 o'clock today, and defeated Cao Kundi-town and Wu Peifu No. 2 town, killing more than 456 people and capturing more than 68 people. At present, our army is pursuing the remnants of the enemy along the Jinpu line," Xin Jie said to the communications officer.
Almost at the same time, Hu Chenghe, commander of the Second Division, who was directly under Handan, also sent a telegram to the central authorities. His second division had entered Handan only ten minutes earlier.
“...... At 1o:03 today, our army conquered the Beiyang Handan defense line, most of the 3rd town in Beiyang was destroyed, and the enemy's commander Zhang Zhenfang was killed. In this battle, our army killed a total of 24o enemy soldiers and captured more than 766 people......"
In Zhangjiakou, the commander of the First Division, Major General Xia Mingxian, looked at the defense line in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
"These guys actually built the fortifications on the Great Wall, which is really unreasonable. Isn't this rider forcing me to destroy the monuments?" said Xia Mingxian angrily.
He looked at the 1o6mm howitzers and 16omm mortars on the positions of his division's artillery regiment, and thought to himself that if these shells were fired to wash the floor, when they were finished, this section of the Great Wall would have to be rebuilt.
"Immediately contact Jiang Gui on the other side and ask them to withdraw from the Great Wall, and we will not attack during this period. Sue him, let's fight on both sides, and if the things left by our ancestors can not be destroyed, try not to destroy them......" After thinking about it, he said murderously: "If they don't agree, I will blow them up to the sky along with the Great Wall."
