Chapter 232 Helpless Escort
In a farmhouse on the outskirts of Fengtian, Akashi Yuanjiro still sat in a chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't care about the Pacific Army arresting him everywhere outside, while Uchida Liangping next to him was already a little restless, and the Japanese knife in his hand kept opening and closing to make a snoring sound.
He really didn't expect that three hundred elite soldiers, plus eight first-class ninjas, had transferred all the Pacific troops nearby, and forced the other party into a desperate situation. When he saw it, he was disturbed by three cars that were driven crazy and equipped with machine guns!
At this time, Li Mo not only did not die, but also said that the secret stations here were pulled out one after another, and they also quickly shelled Yizhou, and the army was ready to cross the river to North Korea at any time.
Now, all the roads to North Korea have been blocked, and there is no hope of returning to North Korea. What should they do?
Thinking of this, Ryohei Uchida turned his head and looked at Genjiro Akashi, who closed his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, the latter slowly opened his eyes: "Mr. Uchida, failure is not terrible. It's terrible that your heart has also failed."
Akashi Yuanjiro looked deeply at the restless Uchida and slowly got up and said, "Let's go."
"Go? Where are you going? Uchida Liangping frowned: "Mr. Akashi, now the road to North Korea has been blocked, and we can't go back."
"No, we're not going to North Korea." Akashi Genjiro took a deep breath, looked at the dark earth, and said leisurely, "Let's go to Yanjing. There is a friend who can help us and the empire!"
"Friends? Who is it?"
"His name is Yuan Shikai!" -
Oahu Island, which has been busy all day, gradually calmed down as night fell, and one or two roars from time to time in the industrial area in the distance gradually dissipated with the sea breeze.
With the replacement of the new equipment of the power station, Oahu Island has been completely lit. A new street lamp extends along the road to the dock, pulling out white flowing colors. Even the moonlight in the sky seems to be a little pale under such a bright color.
I heard that by the end of the year, the power lines of other islands will also be paved. At that time, Hawaii will really become a shining pearl in the Pacific Ocean.
And all this is because of that person, and I don't know where he got so many ideas and skills. Not to mention the Hawaiians at this moment, even the merchants from all over the world are amazed at the brightest Hawaii.
Although it is already very dark, due to the popularity of electric lights, the night of Wahu at night is a little more angry. In addition to pedestrians, some hawkers have spontaneously set up night markets, which are not lively. Of course, the most of them are a pair of young people who hold hands and fall in love.
In the distance, the long and narrow Ford Island with lights is like a sharp sword, which not only stuck the throat of Pearl Harbor, but also divided the whole harbor into two pieces. On the right side of the petals, a naval transport ship flying the blood cloud dragon claw battle flag of the Pacific Fleet slowly adjusted its bow.
With more and more naval transport missions, a logistics transport fleet belonging to the Navy has been established, but the Navy is obviously very dissatisfied with this civilian ship, especially after the shortcomings of supply with civilian ships have been exposed in the last attack on Vladivostok, they are more eager to get a newly designed special ship, but in In the absence of platform construction, the navy still has to temporarily use these freighters for emergency.
Fortunately, Li Mo is also aware of this problem and has asked the Naval Design Department to design a new generation of supply ships in advance. As long as the platform is vacated, it can be built. However, naval officers such as Long Guozhang seem to be unable to wait for the logistics fleet to continue to use civilian transport ships. A total of five fast transport ships equipped with large cranes have been ordered from the Italian shipyard. Now they have been launched one after another. In just a few months, the naval logistics will also be fast.
Of course, all this is what Liu Bu toad and Lin Tai, who are on the ocean cruise at this time and will go to Germany with hundreds of sailors to receive two new battleships, did not know yet.
The Beiyang tube belt used to be cut off the braids and become a Pacific Navy colonel. The straight navy uniform is white and beautiful in the light.
Standing on the deck and looking at the quiet Pearl Harbor Bay in front of them, both of them knew that it would not be long before the Pacific Fleet would be baptized by another rainstorm.
Li Mo was seriously injured because he was stabbed!
When the news came to the Temporary Naval Academy in Honolulu, they were listening to the captain of the USS Sirius, Fang Jin, who had just returned from vacation, with those young students, explaining the recent naval battle against Ma.
From shelling Vladivostok, tempting the Russian fleet to return to aid, ambushing the Tsushima Strait to a fierce gun battle, from taking the initiative to cut off the patrol formation of the Russian fleet, to using the new torpedo tactics of the patrol force to delay the enemy and finally winning.
Listening to the despicable captain Fang talking about the situation of the naval battle, and watching him draw his intention on the blackboard unnaturally, each student was excited and eager to be on a warship at that time, even if he was a handyman.
Because the Pacific Fleet itself is also a start-up, although some foreign naval instructors have been hired, it is impossible to compare with the old naval powers in terms of teaching level and naval research. Therefore, the navy has always required all the front-line captains to participate in the personal explanations and demonstrations, and use their experience they have gained from blood and fires. Run these slightly immature navy seedlings.
However, with the victory of the Navy Festival, the experience is getting richer and richer, and the talent shortcomings are being bridged rapidly, and it is heard that a new naval school will be built in Dalian Bay. In addition, in order to let more colleges have practical experience, the navy will also specially retire Longxiao and the sandalwood that has finished the experimental mission. The Xiangshan is all included in the Naval Academy for the use of students.
Especially when the Long Xiao was delivered, the two had just entered the group. Looking at the flagship of the old fleet, the sailors slowly lowered the naval flag, and the veterans present were all in tears. And they didn't expect that Li Mo would personally order the ship to be launched for less than ten years, and many countries could not even find a comparable ironclad ship to retire.
A cursory look at the retirement of the Longxiao represents that the Pacific Fleet has entered a new era, but they did not know until they began to learn more about the team. At this moment, the navy's eyes have gone beyond the powerful single warship, but have slowly begun to consider the convenience of logistics and maintenance.
Don't underestimate this seemingly trivial matter. Both of them are excellent marines who have studied in the UK. Naturally, they know what this means to do so. The retirement of Long Xiao officially represents the standardization and standardization of the Pacific Fleet.
The more they knew, the more eager they were to join the team. At this time, the news that Li Mo was assassinated and injured suddenly came.
The news came, and the whole of Honolulu was shocked. Not only did those naval cadets write that they should immediately tear up the agreement and declare war on Japan, but even the newspapers and ordinary people in the past few days have expressed their retaliation. Some radical people even rushed to the gate of the Japanese mansion in Honolulu and asked the Japanese envoy to set up. Leave Honolulu immediately.
In those days, the two were also restless, angry about their shamelessness and restless about whether they would have the honor to participate in the next military operation.
When I was ready to write a book for self-recommendation, the order came down at the same time.
After completing three months of study and being familiar with the command mode of the Pacific Army, Ye Zukui and Sa Zhenbing will serve as the captains of two Russian heavy cruisers that are being modified in Ryukyu. Xie Baozhang will become the staff of another Russian heavy patrol, and the two of them will be sent to Germany to receive the two new ships that have been launched there. Battleship.
The cruise ship trembled gently, the thick cable was untied, the heavy anchor of the bow was put away little by little with the help of the hinges, and the whine sounded through the harbor at the same time.
Soon after, the large-scale shipyard appeared in front of the two people. Looking at the lights, the dock was sealed. They could only hear the roar of the four docks inside, and the two looked at each other.
The four docks have been closed for two years. What is being built inside? We still need to close the dock!
As the shipyard in sight became farther and farther away, the two quickly threw away their distractions. They didn't know if they could catch up with the future war this trip to Germany, but they were not disappointed at all, because in faraway Germany, two more powerful battleships were waiting for them! โโ
Early in the morning, Yamamoto Quanbingwei hurriedly rushed into Yokosuka. At this time, the navy's perfect base, although the clearing ship was unusually busy, the sailors also took advantage of this winter to strengthen the port to repair machinery and prepare for the four capital ships that were about to return home, but this scene obviously could not cause any of him. Interest.
Idiot!
In the curse, he quickly ran in front of several sailors who saluted him, rushed into the office building in the base, grabbed the phone and roared, and then the whole base sounded an alarm.
Listening to the whimper alarm, his face became darker and darker. Originally, it should be his happiest day during this period. Several small warships ordered have returned, and he is going to take people to Britain to receive warships immediately. In addition, four American-made capital ships will arrive in more than a month, so he is not only busy, but also gradually increases the smile on his face.
It's just that he is really not happy today. He scolded the army bastards in the Tokyo base camp who are becoming more and more corrupt and incompetent, but still want to firmly seize power!
Because these people will send someone to assassinate Li Mo. You can go as soon as you go. It's good to kill that Hawaiian bastard, but now it's just hurting someone's arm. What's the matter?
All right.
Now the whole Pacific Army is furious and shelling Yizhou for several days in a row, which scared the guy Youpeng in Shanxian County to send a small white telegram to ask for support. His Majesty the emperor also had to write a groveling letter to apologize to others, hoping to prevent them from fighting through children's methods. What's the matter?
Now they come to slap their faces directly! After raising the fucking two million pounds of medical and mental loss, is Master Li poor and crazy? Two million pounds of compensation, and what kind of mental loss fee, what a mess!
Yamamoto Quanbingwei jumped at that time. If he instinctively took out two million at this moment, he might as well buy a few more capital ships immediately! Of course, it's not impossible to say that there are 100 tons of gold reserves in the central bank, but can that work?! If the gold is gone, the banknotes issued by the country will all become waste paper. Not to mention war, I'm afraid that the whole country will be completely divided immediately!
And what's worrying is that Britain didn't even help its side this time. In the past few days, the British ambassador has repeatedly threatened to explain this matter. What's the explanation? They all took photos of the bodies of the Japanese army soldiers and sent them to the base camp, and they almost printed them directly in the newspaper for publicity!
Seeing that the capital ship was about to come back in half a year, but this happened, Yamamoto Quan Bingwei didn't want to scold her. The most abominable thing is that the Pacific Army has said that it would blockade the coast and arrest the murderers who may have fled back, and sink all ships that did not obey the inspection!
Sink all ships that do not obey the inspection!
Is this called catching the murderer? This is simply a naked threat. The most abominable thing is that the army idiots in the base camp even ordered themselves to send warships to sea immediately to ensure coastal safety!
What is this? Send a warship? If you send a slam board to sea, they will sink you!
Is it okay if I don't send it?
The two secretly built cruisers in the Yokohama dock have reached the most critical moment. If they are blocked at this time, wouldn't the secret plan to drain the last drop of blood in the past two years be in vain?!
In order to hide the secret, the navy deliberately didn't even use the European and American transport ships this time. First, it secretly shipped the purchased main gun to Brazil, and then prepared to quietly transfer back from there in the name of purchasing grain. Originally, all this was carried out very carefully, and it had also avoided the European and American routes with tight surveillance by the Pacific Army, but who would have thought that the fleet was about to come back and encountered this!
Once the transport ship carrying artillery cannot return to Japan in time, or is found by the opponent, the whole plan will be exposed, which will arouse the vigilance of the Pacific Army, and the strange soldiers will become useless soldiers!
So, even if there is a rain of bullets outside, he must gamble to protect the two cargo ships mixed into the transport fleet!
Yamamoto Quan Bingwei raised his head. In the military port, there were soldiers running in a hurry with a nervous look. The Hequan by the dock, the Xuma and the other two torpedo ships that had just returned from the Austro-Hungarian Empire had begun to set fire and anchor.
Although he still has two new cruisers back and forth from Austria-Hungary at the same time, he is reluctant to let the two warships take risks, so he can only take the risk of letting Xuma and Izumi carry out this dangerous mission.
The only thing that reassured him a little was that the four warships this time, except for the second-hand ship and Izumi, all exceeded 22 knots, and the fastest warships in the Pacific Army were only 20 knots.
I hope the speed can help them complete the task!
An hour later, four well-prepared warships slowly left Yokosuka Port. Looking at the sailors on the deck who had just been transferred from sailors and fishermen, Yamamoto suddenly opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't shout a word...
