Tune the Pacific

Chapter 191 Does Russia also want to fly both?

The moon is in the sky, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

The Ryukyu island in the night is quiet and peaceful. In addition to the daytime port area, all parts of the island have already fallen asleep.

Chen Ping's car passed through a residential area, and a new four-storey building passed through the window. This is a newly built immigrant residential area. Unlike the previous single-door courtyard, this new four-storey small building can live in nine families. This newly built residential area alone can accommodate 5,000 households. Family, a new building that is being vigorously promoted in Honolulu and Ryukyu, has greatly eased the problem of land shortage on the island.

Compared with the first landing in Ryukyu a few years ago, earth-shaking changes are taking place here, especially for those new immigrants. When they stepped on this big island uneasily in a strange mood, either because of necessity, or because of their outing their mind, they found that this place was full of clothes and water. Land is completely different.

Here, there are not only houses that have been prepared, but also factories that are waiting for you attentively. You can not only get free training, but also as long as you work hard and willing to work hard, you can ensure a worry-free life, and you can also live a good life that you didn't think of before.

Children can go to nearby schools to study. There are teachers from all over the world. Most importantly, there is no need to look at the background and no need to spend money here. As long as your child is of age, you can get free reading and literacy!

Of course, if you think this kind of thing is light and tasteless, you can also go to be a soldier. The recruitment station on Ryukyu Island is open all night. Although it is tiring to be a soldier, although it is hard and dangerous, the income is envied by everyone.

Just like what Tang Shaoyi and Liang Dunyan said after they first arrived in Ryukyu. This is a new world. I believe that for those Beiyang soldiers who have just got off the ship, they will also feel this way when the sun rises tomorrow.

However, the young master's military recruitment is also a little expensive, so it will cost a lot of money to work alone in the power plant that is still being debugged for one night. I don't know if Li Enfu will jump again after hearing it.

The car soon came to the luxury villa where Li Mo lived. After stopping, Chen Ping quickly opened the door and walked to the still bright room on the second floor. However, as soon as he walked up the stairs, he found that Duan Fei stood quietly outside the door and looked at the corners of his mouth with a smile on the glowing small window.

"Duan Fei, why don't you go in?" Chen Ping walked to him and pushed him curiously. Seeing Chen Ping, Duan Fei quickly said hello and curled his lips with a wry smile.

Although the two have known each other for many years, Chen Ping rarely saw this ghost. He often looked like a cold intelligence officer with such a face, and quickly walked in two steps to have a look.

With just a glance, he understood why Duan Fei stood at the door and didn't go in. It turned out that there were two beautiful figures in the study. Miss Duan Yueer was on her waist and was supervising the young master's meal with an angry face. The little girl did not add two chopsticks beside her, but also smiled from time to time.

Chen Ping quickly stepped back a few steps. What's wrong with his mouth? This is the young master's privacy. In case he is broken by himself, he knows if he will be criticized. It is said that Du Dazhuang accidentally broke the game of hugging the young master and Qiaoer girl last time. As a result, he was kicked three big feet by the black-faced young master.

"It's no wonder I can't see this big guy. I don't know where he's hiding."

Chen Ping quickly pulled Duan Fei to hide in the corner and pulled out the cigarette. Duan Fei quickly shook his head: "I don't smoke this thing." Chen Ping knew his temper, and then took a breath. Suddenly, he glanced at the window and said abusingly, "Duan Fei, your sister has a place. Aren't you a little lonely to be alone? Why don't I help you with your blind date? I think Zhou Cheng's sister is good. How is it?!"

Duan Fei looked at the chief of staff in consumsmation. His head was black. No wonder this guy could be the chief of staff. He even had to take care of this kind of gossip. He shook his head in horror. Zhou Cheng's sister was good-looking, but the problem was that he was an extremely short-protector like himself. His sister was more difficult to serve than his own baby. .

Seeing Duan Fei shaking his head in horror, Chen Ping seemed to be more energetic and said, "Don't shake your head. This is a good thing. Zhou Cheng is also the captain of the battleship now. If you marry her sister, you will marry the navy!" Long Guozhang has to spend a lot of money, and I can also take advantage of it.

Duan Fei is even more crying and laughing. The emotional staff is not kind-hearted at all. This guy is purely trying to blackmail Long Guozhang! The commander of the fleet and the chief of staff play the game, which must not be mixed.

Duan Fei shook his head faster and said with a wry smile, "My staff, please forgive me, or I'll get you ten packs of good cigarettes."

"Thirty packs!" Chen Ping bargained decisively.

"Fifteen."

"Twenty!"

"Deal." Chen Ping's eyes were shining and he muttered, "Duan Fei, you said that the young master usually doesn't smoke. Why do you dominate so many good cigarettes? Well, fortunately, Miss Yue'er is still thinking about you, otherwise I wouldn't have lost my cigarette.

Duan Fei put up his middle finger behind his back to despise these guys. If it hadn't been covered by the young master, the good tobacco made by Cuba every year would not be enough for these guys to spoil them. These bastards, I don't know how many times I have asked my sister for them during this period. When he thought of his sister's strange eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over.

At this time, a slight sound of footsteps came from behind. The two quickly turned their heads and saw that Zhang Zuolin had come in at some unknown time. Seeing that the two were hiding in the corner, they were also slightly stunned. They hurriedly saluted and handed over the information they had just received.

"Report, the information just received has been lost by Fengtian."

"So fast!"

Hearing the news, Chen Ping didn't even mention the cigarette. He quickly grabbed the intelligence and looked at it. His eyebrows, which had just been stretched out, frowned again. Even Duan Fei, who didn't care about the military, was deeply.

According to the previous intelligence, Fengtian had a city wall to rely on, and more than 20,000 people were stationed. In addition, there were more than 40,000 people in the Qing army in Liaoyang and other places. Therefore, when the staff made the plan, it agreed that Fengtian would delay the Russian army for at least ten days. In this way, the Pacific Army would have enough time to land, but I didn't expect that it was only the fourth day. Feng The sky was lost, which immediately disrupted all the previous deployments.

"Song Qing is dead."

Zhang Zuolin continued: "Liu Shengxiu and his Ming army are retreating to Shanhaiguan. Nie Shicheng is currently retreating to Liaoyang with 2,000 people. Now, in addition to thousands of Qing troops in Kaiyuan and Liaoyuan at the junction of Jilin and Fengtian, Liaodong, south of Fengtian, and Jilin and Heilongjiang can hardly see the Qing army. It's son."

"Is it returned so fast? What's the matter?" Listening to Zhang Zuolin's words, Duan Fei immediately smelled the strangeness in it. It is reasonable that there should be scattered Qing troops in the area of Liaodong, and there should be thousands of Qing troops in Gaizhou Prefecture on the Liaodong Peninsula. Why did they withdraw all of them all at once?

"The news came from Yanjing that Cixi had summoned Yi, Xu Youyi, Sun Yuwen and others, and they were ready for peace talks. In addition," Zhang Zuolin paused for a moment, pointed to the intelligence and said, "The staff analyzes and suspect that if Casini can no longer contact the fleet and Vladivostok, it is likely to pass on the news of our declaration of war to the Russian army commander, Lieutenant General Ferevar, because according to the reconnaissance company, the Russians fought very fiercely today, and even the Cossack cavalry participated. After attacking the city, we will fight almost regardless of casualties.

"They want to solve Fengtian as soon as possible, and then continue to go south to the Liaodong Peninsula to prevent us from landing!" Chen Ping reacted immediately. Zhang Zuolin nodded: "In addition, we can't think of any explanation for why the Russian army will work!"

After reading all the information, Chen Ping closed the folder, looked at Duan Fei, and said with a wry smile, "Let's go. It seems that we have to disturb your sister."

Duan Fei nodded and took the lead in walking to the study--

"All right, I'm sure I'll finish eating."

Looking at a large bowl of chicken soup, Master Li frowned sadly. The two girls didn't know what kind of evil they had committed today. They finally came back and were lazy. They just made so many chickens, ducks and fish. It's right to be kind, but aren't they afraid that the young master will get angry?

Master Li raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Yuer, if you drink so much chicken soup, I will definitely get angry tonight."

Inflamed?

After Yue'er was stunned for a moment, she saw Li Mo's crooked smile at the corners of her mouth. She didn't understand this guy's thoughts. She suddenly blushed with shame, and the small one next to her also blushed, and she lowered her head and smiled.

"Dead people, eat when you eat, and think nonsense all day long!" Yue'er twisted Li Mo's arm fiercely.

Master Li grinned in pain and quietly wiped the small round buttocks next to him with one hand. A slight grunt came. Not only was her small face even more red, but Lian Yueer suddenly felt numb all over her body. She quickly stared at Li Mo and reached out to help Xiaoxiao pat off the abominable claw.

Master Li is very angry. He is light and small in front of Yue'er. This girl is not angry. It seems that Shuangfei is promising! Immediately pick up the chicken soup and drink it, and try to "fire" early.

At this moment, the knock on the door suddenly came, so scared that Yue'er and Xiao quickly jumped up from Li Mo's side and tidied up the scattered corners of his clothes. Master Li was also stunned. Is it Du Dazhuang again?!

"Brother? Brother Chen..." Yue'er opened the door and saw Duan Fei calling quickly, but she didn't continue to speak. She saw Chen Ping behind her. Her pretty face turned red again in an moment, and she quickly pulled the small packed up the lunch box and escaped.

Looking at the two young grandmothers who fled, Chen Ping smiled and then walked to Li Mo.

Good things were interrupted again. Master Li was so angry that he stared at the two of them and pointed angrily to the sofa: "Sit down, how are they doing with Lin Tai and Liu Bu toad?"

"The spirit is very good, and it has also been suppressed by the young master's means." Chen Ping narrowed his eyes like a fox, and the smile at the corners of his mouth slowly enlarged. He believed that with tonight's scene, the remaining three Beiyang tubes could not escape the young master's five-finger mountain. In particular, Lin Tai and Liu Bu toad, but the essence of the whole Beiyang can get them this time, and the navy is much more solid.

However, when he thought of the two warships full of bullet holes, Chen Ping sighed: "But the two ships are useless." It's not that he thinks that Zhenyuanjing is much stronger than the warships of the Pacific Fleet, but that the two ships are too memorable. They are the prototypes of the modern Chinese navy, especially Zhenyuan. It would be a pity if they were abandoned like this.

"It's okay. I've sent a telegram to Tang Xiao. I will drag Zhenyuan into the dock for repair tomorrow, but Jingyuan." Li Mo shook his head. Jingyuan's injury was too serious. It was a miracle that he could drive to Ryukyu. He really couldn't ask for anything more.

"Ha ha, the old one doesn't go, and the new one doesn't come." Chen Ping was open-minded, but he soon showed the fox's tail and squinted and said, "Young master, Lao Long sent me a telegram alone, saying that he wanted the staff to promise him to keep all the captured warships. This time, it can't be dismantled as scrap metal."

"This bastard!" Li Mo laughed and scolded.

With the capture in Vladivostok, Long Guozhang made a lot of money this time. No wonder he was jealous. However, this kind of person began to shout before he came back. It was really shameless. Obviously, it was a problem for the young master. You know, Li Enfu frowned at the current size of the fleet and asked him to agree to expand it. It must be another drool.

"Let's talk about this later."

Seeing Li Mo's slap, Chen Ping put away his smiling face, took out the information just now, and handed it to Li Mo: "The reconnaissance company of the Fourth Division reported that Fengtian has lost it."

"So fast?!"

"The Russians are working hard. Zhang Zuolin and others suspect that Kasini should have contacted Russian Lieutenant General Fellevaal."

After reading the intelligence, Li Mo nodded. There was only this reason to explain why a slow Russian army was so fast. It was estimated that they also considered that once the fleet was threatened, the Pacific Army might land on the Liaodong Peninsula, so they were eager to capture Fengtian, took the lead in establishing a stable rear, and then transferred. The troops defend Lushun and Liaodong Peninsula.

"The problem now is." Chen Ping got up and walked to the big map of the study and drew two routes: "Does the Russian army take Liaoyang Haicheng from Gaizhou to Liaodong Peninsula, or take the Motianling? Fengcheng directly plugs into Andong to lock up the Liaodong Peninsula first."

Looking at the vertical and horizontal lines, Li Mo not only frowned, but also Duan Fei secretly complained.

At present, the Pacific Army only has the strength of one division, two regiments and one battalion in the Liaodong Peninsula. Even with a small reconnaissance force and Anton's reading battalion, there are up to 2,000 people. It is unrealistic to block these two lines at the same time. According to the plan, the first landing troops will not arrive at Andong Port until the morning of the day after tomorrow. It will take at least one day and one night to arrive at the two places from Andong Port. Once it is broken through by the Russian army and entered the Liaodong Peninsula before that, it will cost a lot to get rid of the Russian army quickly.

Which way will the Russian army take?

Li Mo walked to the map. Liaoyang Haicheng is open and suitable for cavalry to attack. According to reason, it should be the best here, but Gaizhou is close to Liaodong Bay. In the face of the situation that the war has been declared for three days and the fleet has lost contact, if the Russian army goes here, it may worry that it will hit the one who will land from Liaodong Bay around the peninsula. Pingyang Army.

Motianling is a natural pass, and the terrain is dangerous, which is not conducive to cavalry, but this choice has one advantage. It can quickly plug directly into Anton and block the connection between the peninsula and the outside, so that no matter the Pacific troops land from the peninsula, the troops stationed in Lushun and Jinzhou can be quickly surrounded by the large troops. .

Kashini is very clear that Fereval, the commander of the Russian army this time, is not incompetent. He knows very well that in case the fleet fails, as long as they can keep the advantage on land, at least they can recover some losses, so they will quickly take Fengtian regardless of the cost, and then continue to turn south to the road to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Looking at the map, both roads are flawed, but there are also advantageous roads. Master Li is worried. Which one will the Russians choose?

Does Russia also want to fly double?
