Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"General Marshal, don't make fun of me." Wang Xiaosheng blushed and lowered his head.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about your matter later, I'm asking you if Cen Chunxuan from the Independent Commission Against Corruption has approached me?"

The Independent Commission Against Corruption was established not long ago, and you can understand what it does from the literal meaning. Cen Chunxuan is the minister of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Master Cen has never approached you, Generalissimo, but not long ago he asked me to pass a message to Generalissimo, he told you to be mentally prepared." Wang Xiaosheng recalled a little, and then replied softly.

Be mentally prepared, it seems that Cen Chunxuan is going to show off his power, but he just hopes that his beloved generals will not let him down.

As a commoner in his previous life, he hated corruption deeply, and Ye Zhikui would never show mercy.

"Jianren, I'm a little worried about you." Ye Zhikui glanced at Jianren Shiwu and said with a sigh.

When I saw benevolence, I knew what he was talking about. I patted my chest and said proudly: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. A villain has made money in a proper way since he was a child. Don't worry about it, Generalissimo. I am not short of money, not to mention that the villain knows that you have always hated greedy people."

"Okay, it's late at night, let's go back." Ye Zhikui stood up and said with a smile.

When I see benevolence, I have no roots and no leaves, so I can only rely on Ye Zhikui, so Ye Zhikui thinks highly of him, and naturally doesn't want anything to happen to him.

The old lady came over to pay the bill, Ye Zhikui looked at Wang Xiaosheng, Wang Xiaosheng touched his pocket, looked at Wu when he saw Renren, and when I saw Renren, I held the purse tightly, smiled mischievously, and said, "I didn't bring it either."

You didn’t bring it, genius, Ye Zhikui glared at him, and when I saw benevolence, I reluctantly took out the purse, and said with a bitter face: “Mr. If you don’t have tea, you have to pay the bill.”

Wang Xiaosheng chuckled, and said: "No wonder I see that you have been watching us eat cakes just now, so there is such a deep meaning in it."

"Money is saved. I can't see others wasting money the most. Look, I haven't finished eating the pastries." After Jianren Shiwu paid the money, he emptied the pastries on the plate. .

Volume Two, Capital Affairs, Chapter [-], The Political Theory of the Governor of Hong Kong

Officials at all levels of the Japanese Navy Department in Tokyo were present.

The Minister of the Navy, Saigo Cong Michi, frowned and looked down, flipped through the documents, and asked puzzledly, "Has the cause of the wreck of the merchant ship Daimaru not been investigated yet?"

The Daimaru is a fishing ship, merchant ship, smuggling ship, pirate ship and reconnaissance ship. The Japanese made full use of their budget-minded personality. They suddenly lost contact with the Japanese Navy Department in the Korean Strait two days ago.

Gonbei Yamamoto, the official chief, pursed his lips and analyzed: "According to the sea area reported back before the Daimaru's accident, the Imperial Navy went to search it, and finally only found some broken wood and the like. If it was the Daimaru's As for the wreck, what is certain is that it was sunk artificially, because the sea area was calm for the past few days, and there was no warning of a storm."

"If it was sunk, who would have done it? Of course the North Koreans don't have this ability. They just brag and hypnotize the whole nation." Xixiang Congdao obviously dismissed the North Koreans.

Yamamoto nodded and agreed: "In fact, the navy did not consider the possibility of North Korea. The North Koreans can hypnotize the entire nation and make them believe that Korean beef is the best beef in the entire universe, but when it comes to sinking our ships, it is too late. If they warn the navy, their own Korean cattle will laugh, so our first thought is that the Chinese fleet did it."

"Chinese? Aren't they still confronting the Russian army in Vladivostok? Will they come to the Korean Strait for leisure?" Xixiang Congdao frowned into a Sichuan shape.

Yamamoto said with some concern: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang used the empty city strategy, and it is not ruled out that the Chinese people will repeat their old tricks."

"That's right, China is no longer in power with the Tunguskas. According to recent navy surveys, a large number of Chinese merchant ships have disappeared. The total number of these merchant ships is enough to disguise as a naval fleet." Another naval official echoed.

"Your Excellency, I hope the navy will dispatch one or two warships to the waters of Vladivostok to investigate the Chinese people's falsehood." Yamamoto put down the document and suggested.

China and Russia were at war, and China repeatedly warned Japanese ships not to appear in the warring waters, otherwise they would be regarded as enemy ships attacking them.Japan was not prepared for war a few days ago, so it is really obedient. Although it often disguises itself as a fishing boat to detect the enemy, it dare not get too close.

"If that wasn't the main force of the Chinese navy, where did they go?" Xixiang muttered to himself.

Yamamoto smiled and said, "Your Excellency, don't forget that the British threatened to capture Ye Zhikui, the head of the military government, and their fleet is heading towards Dagukou."

China and Britain are at odds, and it is the Japanese who take advantage of it. The British ambassador to Japan has recently contacted the Japanese government frequently and is willing to lend a huge amount of money to the Japanese government for free.

Xixiang Congdao suddenly realized: "So that's the case. If the Chinese did it, based on the time calculation, it should be time for them to encounter the British fleet."

Yamamoto continued with a smile: "Once the Chinese fleet is lost, it will be an opportunity for the Japanese Empire. Your Excellency, should the navy prepare for battle?"

"Of course, when the news of the defeat of the Chinese navy comes, it will be the time when the Japanese fleet will attack. Yamamoto-kun, please hand over these news and countermeasures to the Emperor and Prime Minister as soon as possible."

Xixiang stood up impatiently.

Yamamoto praised: "Minister really acted swiftly and resolutely, and the news has not been confirmed, and the action has already begun."

Xixiang Congdao looked impressive, and said slowly: "Excuse me, gentlemen, I forgot that today is Lai Laizi's birthday."

Gonbei Yamamoto…

Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, William Robinson, the governor of Hong Kong in his 50s, held a knife and fork, inserted a piece of chicken on the table, and praised the waiter next to him: "This plate of Kung Pao Chicken is really delicious. The place is backward and chaotic, with rats everywhere, and the only thing that satisfies me is the Chinese food."

Hong Kong just suffered a bubonic plague last year

While Robinson was savoring Chinese food, his personal secretary Mei Wenli walked in quickly.

"Governor, the Far East Fleet has lost contact with us for eighteen hours. I think it is necessary to report the situation to the country." Mei Wenli said without waiting for Robinson to ask.

Robinson was not annoyed when the secretary interrupted his meal, but said with a smile: "My dear Mr. Secretary-General, are you still afraid that something will happen to them? Come, sit down and eat first."

Mei Wenli had no choice but to sit down, and said worriedly: "These days, rumors have spread everywhere, causing people to panic. It is the military government that massacred us British people in China. Governor, are you not worried at all?"

Robinson wiped his lips gracefully with a napkin, and then said unhurriedly: "Mei, you are too worried. Our naval commander bombed the Chinese Guangzhou. If the Chinese don't do something, Do some reaction, I'm really worried."

Mei Wenli asked in puzzlement: "The Governor thinks these are all plots and tricks of the Chinese to deceive their citizens?"

"Of course, do they really dare to do something to my British Empire?" Robinson continued arrogantly: "Don't say that the strength of our British Empire is beyond the reach of the Chinese, even if the Chinese are resentful and want to deal with us, I won't do it with much fanfare, but only play some small tricks secretly. This is politics, Mei, you are still young, just like the slogan during the prime minister's election, if you shout it higher than the sky, and if it is implemented in practice, it is better than people Taller."

"But the Chinese have sent troops to surround Hong Kong, Governor?" Mei Wenli was obviously not convinced yet.

Robinson frowned, and replied impatiently: "This is a political need. I expect the Chinese will come to negotiate soon. We bombed their Guangzhou. Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, almost died. If they don't How can they explain this tough reaction to their citizens?"

Seeing that Mei Wenli was still moving his lips, Robinson asked sharply, "Mei, do you think the Chinese dare to attack us and slaughter us British?"

"Well, I'm afraid the Chinese don't have such courage. However, the Hong Kong government has received reports from many imperial businessmen, asking the empire to send troops to overthrow the military government." Mei Wenli felt the need to explain.

Robinson chuckled when he heard this, and said: "I know those businessmen better than you. The Chinese boycott of British goods has annoyed them. These vampires can't sit still. These people often exaggerate and make up some sensational stories. The news is not difficult to understand, if you believe them, you might as well believe that I will sleep in the queen's bed tonight."

Mei Wenli smiled awkwardly.

"As for the loss of contact with the Far East Fleet, don't worry. I'm afraid our commander of the Far East Navy did this on purpose to hide his whereabouts. Doesn't he always like to surprise us? Like the sudden bombardment of Guangzhou, he didn't discuss it with us. I believe it won't be long. , it will be reported that China’s Dagu has been bombarded.”

"Don't we just sit here and do nothing?" Mei Wenli asked curiously. For this boss, he had already begun to admire him from the bottom of his heart. No wonder he was able to become the governor of Hong Kong, because he saw things more thoroughly than others.

With a slight smile, Robinson replied complacently: "Of course we have something to do. Didn't Wilson send a telegram saying that the Chinese are showing signs of softening? You have prepared the "Special Notes on Expanding Hong Kong's Boundary". It won't take long." , there will be a new Kowloon around Hong Kong, and the New Territories will appear.”

The military government's order to massacre the British is indeed too sensational. I believe that even foreigners in the territory will not believe it unless they see it with their own eyes. Therefore, it is understandable that Hong Kong Governor Robinson thinks it is a rumor.

At this time, the commander of the British and Far East Fleet, Fremantle, who liked to play surprises, survived a catastrophe after diving, and was rescued by the Chinese navy. Now he is being held as a guest on the Dingyuan with a group of British sailors.

If the lieutenant general hadn't coughed twice occasionally, the British soldiers around him would have thought he was dead.

In fact, before the war, no one would have believed that the fleet of the British Empire would be defeated by the Chinese. Now that such a big change happened suddenly, the British who either surrendered or were rescued were silent, could not accept it, and could not believe it.

The door of the dark cell was opened, and a few rays of light came in. The British realized that the night had passed, and the sound of footsteps came.

From time to time, two Chinese people walked in.
