Chapter 199 This is impossible!

At the Lushun Port Pier in the early morning, a nearly 10,000 tons of cruise ship quietly docked there, with black primer, gray superstructure and milky white lines. If it weren't for the familiar scenery around him, Xie Baozhang would have doubted whether he had returned to Portsmouth in the United Kingdom.

Step by step, he boarded this cruise ship full of British Victorian-style painting, much larger than the two ships of Dingzhen. He sighed in his mind. As a symbol of this era, the cruise ship has always been the patent of Britain, the United States and other countries, only on the busy Atlantic. But who would have thought that once upon a time, such a big ship would quietly stop by its side and come to the famous ice-free port in the Far East, which was really sad.

When he was studying in the UK, his tutor once mentioned Haiquan, but at that time, Xie Baozhang and all the dispatched students felt that Haiquan was just a few ironclad ships and a cannon, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that Haiquan needed more than just sailors and fleets! What's more, these huge ships that can cross the world are shuttled back and forth like flowing blood.

Standing on the high deck, Xie Baozhang felt suddenly cheerful in front of him. In addition to this cruise ship, there were several sea ships of similar size docked on the other docks. The boom on the side of the dock was busy, and he could see a cannon and a mountain of boxes from time to time.

More far away, two Russian cruisers and two torpedoes are being formed. The deck is full of frightened and helpless Russian naval officers and soldiers. A few days ago, they were still showing off their power and shelling Lushun and the whole Liaodong Bay at will, but a few days later, they have become lambs under the claws of the Pacific Fleet.

Xie Baozhang doesn't know how to describe his feelings in the past few days. If he wants to describe it in the shortest words, it is to turn his hands over the clouds and rain!

From the time when Russian sailors entered the port to avoid the cold in winter, they came to four more giant ships in panic. From the departure of the Russians, the landing of North Korea to shelling Wonsan Port, and then to the sneak attack on Lushun, the Beiyang was almost completely destroyed. From the downfall of prisoners to the rumble of cannons on the landing of the Pacific Army, all this can only be described as dazzling!

The only regret for him is that the owner of this land was ruthlessly abandoned aside and became a viewer. In the past, Beiyang, which used to be proud of the Far East, was also reduced to an invulner with only a few boats in Weihaiwei.

This cruise ship specially came to pick up their Beiyang soldiers and their families. Lushun is their third stop. Previously, they had gone to Tianjin Wei and Weihaiwei to pick up a large number of Beiyang family members.

Although the Pacific troops did not have any threat or coercion, Xie Baozhang still decided to go to Ryukyu to have a look. He also couldn't explain why he made this choice. Maybe he heard where Zhenyuan and Jingyuan were, or maybe it was the giant ships that were being formed at the mouth of the waterway in the distance.

Next to

, his footsteps were slow. Sa Zhenbing had already stepped on the deck. Behind him, there were countless officers and soldiers from Beiyang. They walked up quickly, and their eyes were confused but full of hope.

"They're leaving again!" Sa Zhenbing walked to him and looked at the four giant ships with black smoke at the mouth of the waterway, and his eyes were full of envy.

In the bridge of the Antarctic Star, Ji Rushan lay down on the chart and carefully sketched it. Next to him, several captains sat or stood, and his eyebrows were full of joy.

"I said Lao Ji, don't look at it. Isn't it just to cheer for the Marine Corps, and then go back to escort the fleet? Do you still need to look at the chart?" Liu Haitao held a cigar and looked at the 305mm main gun on the front deck of the Antarctic Star, with stars in his eyes.

I don't know whether it's jealousy or resentment to win the war and the staff department toss them. Liu Haitao continued to say angrily, "I don't know what the staff department thinks. It actually let us all cheer. I think this is because our chief of staff has against Boss Long again and deliberately tossss."

"Ha ha, for sure." Zhou Cheng sat in the corner and squinted and said, "This time, our commander asked for the captured Russian [***] ship to be all inclusive. It's strange that the staff is not big."

"Baoyuan is Baoyuan." Liu Haitao drooled and pointed to Zhou Cheng's Qixing next to him: "If I can pick up the two Russian battleships and let me have a good time, I will be fucking happy."

"Well, Lao Liu, don't dream for nothing. Those two broken ships don't even have protective turrets. It's strange that the young master can take a fancy to them." Gu Junhuo, the captain of the tough, glanced at Ji Rushan, who was absorbed in it, and curled his lips: "So, you just continue to guard your determination."

"I said, old boy, we are also old acquaintances. Don't tear down the stage." Liu Haitao punched with a smile: "Don't you want to bring a battleship?"

"I want to." Gu Junhuo nodded, but said, "But don't forget that the staff can't completely make the decision in the selection of warships, as well as the two levels of the State Council and the young master. So, I'd better take care of my tenacity.

Hearing Gu Junhuo's words, Liu Haitao also sighed. The young master's eyes on the ship could no longer be described as tricky. If he really followed his requirements, I'm afraid that none of the Russian [***] ships could be saved, let alone Lord Li, who was in charge of money in the State Council!

Seeing that his dream of a battleship was broken again, Liu Haitao stared at Ji Rushan, who was still buried, and shouted, "Lao Ji, you are smart here. Tell me, how can we keep those warships this time?"

"It's very simple." Ji Rushan threw down his pen, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Fight another battle."

"Fly another battle?" Inside the bridge, several captains looked at each other in the face. Liu Haitao stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, but was slapped off by Ji Rushan and said, "Lao Ji, aren't you stupid? Are there any opponents in this area now?"

Ji Rushan waved his hand and dispelled the smell of smoke all over the bridge. Then he said, "Of course, don't forget, I'm still on the side."

"Japanese version? Just rely on those light patrols?

As soon as Liu Haitao laughed contemptuously, Ji Rushan immediately interrupted him: "You forgot the notice not long ago that the four warships built in the United States have been launched. If it's fast, I'm afraid they will leave next month."

"Come back as soon as you come back. Does this have anything to do with the Russian [***] ships we left behind?"

"Of course there is." Ji Rushan suddenly smiled mysteriously: "If you want to keep the warship, the biggest difficulty is not the young master, but the State Council. As long as Mr. Li feels that our next goal is still very difficult, there is hope to leave the Russian ship."

"How can people think that we are still very difficult?" Ji Rushan's words aroused the curiosity of several captains and came to him one after another. At this time, he suddenly turned around and stopped his finger at Yuanshan Port: "It's very simple. It's very simple to shell Yuanshan Port and let Mr. Li see our next opponent."

"I said Lao Ji, you won't play with us, will you? Yuanshan Port is now full of Russian soldiers. What's the use of shelling there? Liu Haitao scratched his head and his face was puzzled.

"That was before." Ji Rushan waved his hand and received a telegram from the staff: "I just received the news that after the Japanese army knew that we had defeated the Russian fleet, it is now attacking Yuanshan Port with all its strength. According to the intelligence personnel there, the Japanese army dispatched three coalitions this time, a total of 10,000 troops."

"I know, Brother Ji, you are going to shell when the Japanese army attacks the port..." Gu Junhuo was the first to react, but then shook his head: "But there is an armistice agreement between us and me. Will this cause a dispute?"

"I didn't say I was going to fight myself. I was talking about shelling the Yuanshan Port where the Russians were stationed!" Ji Rushan deliberately aggravated the words of the Russians. Several captains who understood it immediately understood. While clapping and praising, he couldn't help shivering in the bottom of his heart, saying that I'm afraid I would never dream of what would happen to 10,000 troops after entering the port!

"Let's go back and prepare." Ji Rushan didn't seem to see the look on everyone's faces and smiled: "I have already sent power generation staff. I believe that in a while, the order of action will come soon."

Seeing the excited backs of the three captains leaving, Ji Rushan took a slight breath. He knew that the battle in the Far East was far from the time to celebrate.

"Going to 060, target, Yuanshan." ——

In the Russian Embassy in Yanjing, Kasini's forehead sweated and his mouth was dry. If eating people can quench his thirst, he would have considered grabbing the Hawaiian minister to eat it first!

During this period, he has tried his best to convey the news of Honolulu's declaration of war to the fleet, but except for North Korea, Vladivostok and the whole of Berulia have no response, which makes him feel very bad!

Recall that before, Honolulu was famous for sneak attacks. If they sneaked up on an unwitting fleet after the declaration of war...! Casini hardly dared to think about it. Will the matter of the Beiyang Marine Division be repeated on the Russian fleet?

However, he quickly settled down. At this moment, Witheft's Far East Fleet is still in a state of war and should not be so careless. Moreover, whether it is the number or tonnage, the Imperial Far East Pacific Fleet will surpass the Pacific Fleet in Honolulu. Even if there is a sneak attack, it can break through.

But the question is, it has been many days. Why haven't we even seen a warship that broke through?!

Kashini sat in the office, looked at the busy servant outside the window, and reached out and pinched his forehead. He felt as if he had fallen into a fog. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get out.

All he can do now is wait. Damn Wittheft, hasn't he taken the fleet back to Vladivostok for four days? Why is there no news so far? Is the telegraph station in Vladivostok broken? But even if something goes wrong, they can contact themselves through North Korea!

"Even if the cavalry is sent by land, it should have arrived!"

Casini gritted his teeth with hatred. No matter which Far East governor or Witkhft, don't they know how to cooperate?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of running outside the door. The door of the study was quickly opened, and the counselor rushed in quickly. Before Casini scolded him for being rude, the counselor shouted.

"Mr. Ambassador, the Pacific Army has landed from Lushun and Jinzhou! Our warships stationed here also surrendered to the Pacific Fleet yesterday evening!"

"What!" Kasini's eyes widened, but the bad news was not over.

Because the counselor seemed to feel that it was not enough, he continued to shout: "North Korea's Ambassador Weibei also sent a message that Vladivostok was attacked by the Pacific Fleet seven days ago, and all the fortresses and ports were destroyed."

"No! This is impossible! Where's our fleet!" After a series of blows, Casini, a well-trained and noble-born hereditary count, couldn't help but become hysterical.

"No news!" After saying that, the counselor added, "It's like disappearing."

"Puff."

Kazini's face turned pale for a moment, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and his forehead kept oozing bean-sized beads of sweat...
