"The governor said that although most of the battlecruisers have joined the Guanghaicheng Fleet, the Kokang Fleet has a greater responsibility. You must find out the combat tactics of the aircraft carrier. The aircraft is not only for reconnaissance, but also for sea air combat and bombing warship tests. You must conduct these experiments in secret, and try not to attract the attention of all parties." Wei Han urged.

"No problem, there are only Saar forces in Zhaini Ocean, and now they don't care about the Eastern Continent." Shen Shoukun said confidently.

Soon Zhao Shouhong gave instructions on the navy's plan, and basically agreed with their ideas. At the same time, the Guanghaicheng Fleet was officially renamed the Shu Army's East Ocean Fleet, and the Kokang Fleet was renamed the Shu Army's Zhai Niyang Fleet. The navy will move from the offshore to the ocean.

"These guys are not restless at all." Zhao Shouhong put down the navy construction report and laughed.

"Captain, Vice President Li sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet in Yunjiban." Personal guard Zhou Pingtong reported.

"Oh? Li Yuanhong is so free, invite me to drink flower wine?" Zhao Shouhong smiled and put away the navy report and said, "Prepare the car for me, I will go right away."

"Yes." Zhou Pingtong immediately went to find someone to prepare the car.

Under the protection of four internal guards and two special forces, Zhao Shouhong got into a carriage and arrived at Yunjiban in Bada Hutong.During this period of time, Zhao Shouhong often came to Bada Hutong to drink flower wine, so Sun Yuting ate a lot of it.However, this was all socializing with the important officials of the Yuan family, and Sun Yuting still knew the general situation and did not stop it.

"Master Zhao is here, please come in." As a frequent visitor to Bada Hutong, even though he had never been to Yunjiban, the vicious old Bao immediately recognized Zhao Shouhong's identity and immediately invited him in.

"Is Vice President Li here?" Looking at the chaotic hall, Zhao Shouhong didn't want to stay here for a long time, and immediately asked if Li Yuanhong, who invited him, had come.

"I haven't come yet, but Vice President Li has already booked a room. Since Mr. Zhao is here by invitation, please go over and wait first. I'll invite the girl to come and accompany you." Laobao hurriedly greeted people, and Zhao Shouhong waited for him. They took them to the room that Li Yuanhong had booked.

The two guards entered the room first, inspected it carefully as usual, and retreated when they saw that there was no danger.Since the last time he encountered an assassin at the train station, the guards around Zhao Shouhong had become more vigilant, even in the place of fireworks.Four guards stood guard outside the door, while two special forces quietly climbed to a commanding height nearby, using sniper rifles to control the surrounding situation.

Mr. Gui brought a small jug of wine and two exquisite side dishes, and Zhao Shouhong poured it for himself, but he was thinking about something on his mind.There were two light knocks on the door, and then the old guard walked in with a young and beautiful woman: "Master Zhao is a bit lonely drinking alone, this is the new Qing Dynasty lady from Yunjiban called Hongju, let her accompany you How about a drink?"

Zhao Shouhong raised his head and looked up and down at the girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.She has a slender and petite figure, but a pair of watery peach blossom eyes are full of pure color.The face is only lightly applied with a thin powder, although it is simple and elegant, it reveals all kinds of romance.For such a pure and enchanting woman, she is extremely attractive, and Zhao Shouhong can't help feeling ready to move.

"Okay, let her stay." Zhao Shouhong nodded calmly, and let Hongju sit beside him.Lao Bao immediately bowed happily and left. It was obvious that Zhao Shouhong's identity was well-known throughout the country, so Lao Bao naturally tried his best to curry favor.

Hong Ju, who was sitting next to Zhao Shouhong, seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said nothing, just pouring wine for Zhao Shouhong.Zhao Shouhong glanced at her and said, "Where are you from? Why did you do this?" Zhao Shouhong was very curious. It seemed a pity that such a beautiful woman entered the dusty place.

Hongju said in a low voice: "The slave family is from Handan, Zhili. Because there is no food in the family in the spring famine, they are forced to sell themselves into the brothel, so as to save a living for the parents and brothers in the family."

Zhao Shouhong nodded. In Hualan today, there are too many such refugees.He sighed: "The country is in dire straits and the economy is not thriving. It is a pity that refugees are displaced. It is only because the country has been poor and weak for a long time that it is difficult to recover."

"What Mr. Zhao said is that although Hongju doesn't understand well, your heart for the common people is moving." Hongju said in a low voice.

"En." Zhao Shouhong nodded, and then started drinking again, and the room fell into silence again.

"I didn't expect Shou Hong to arrive early, and he even found a girl to accompany him." Li Yuanhong walked in with a smile, and then several people followed.Zhao Shouhong could see clearly that Cai Songpo was among the few people. The other three were in a senior grade and looked very bookish. The other two were Yang Shiqi, an important minister of the Northern Territory, and he also didn't know the other middle-aged man. .

Li Yuanhong naturally knew that Zhao Shouhong would not know those two people, so he introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Ban Zhichao, the president's adviser."

"Oh?" Zhao Shouhong raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew who this person was, and he also knew his true identity.

Ban Zhichao was named by Yuan Kui for this person. His original name was Sakanishi Rihachiro, and he was an adviser to Yuan Kui.On the surface, this Wa country consultant has an innocent net worth, but in fact he is the second generation giant of Wa country's espionage against China after Aoki Nobusumi.Seven generations of Northern Territory government changed, and he always manipulated behind the scenes.

Of course, Zhao Shouhong would not reveal his thoughts, he had already been able to hide his emotions and anger in the officialdom for a long time.So Zhao Shouhong greeted Sakanishi Rihachiro as a courtesy.

Cai Songpo then smiled and said, "Shou Hong, let me introduce this old gentleman. He is my teacher Liang Qichao."

"Oh?" Zhao Shouhong's eyes lit up. He always hoped to meet this historical celebrity who was close to his thoughts. He was quite excited to meet him today.

Chapter 586 deliberately find fault

"Hello, teacher." Zhao Shouhong immediately greeted his disciples.

Liang Qichao quickly waved his hands and said, "Minister Zhao, you are being polite. Now that you are the Deputy Minister of the Army, how dare this old man treat you with such a big gift."

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "I have a very close relationship with Brother Songpo, and his teacher is my teacher. Besides, I have always admired your thoughts very much, and you deserve this respect."

"Everyone is welcome, let's sit down and talk." Li Yuanhong smiled and invited everyone to sit down.The food and drink came out soon, Li Yuanhong said with a smile: "How can there be wine but no beauties in Laiyun Jiban? Let the old guard help us arrange a few beauties."

Then Li Yuanhong said again: "Shouhong already has one, so I won't make arrangements. Of course, Songpo, you want to find that confidante, so I won't do it for you." Several girls.Li Yuanhong and the others were obviously regular customers here, and soon several pretty girls came in, and they were next to several guests, chatting affectionately with each other.

Zhao Shouhong looked at the woman next to Cai Songpo intentionally, and Li Yuanhong said that she was Cai Songpo's confidante, so naturally she was Xiaofengxian.Seeing Zhao Shouhong looking over, Cai Songpo hurriedly said: "Shouhong, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Fengxian and my confidante. Although she is only fluent in writing and ink, she has a deep understanding of national righteousness. She and I We were also inspired together.”

"I didn't expect there to be such a chivalrous woman here, Zhao Shouhong is right." Zhao Shouhong cupped his hands and said.

Zhao Shouhong didn't treat Xiaofengxian as a lowly prostitute.His original intention was to respect this chivalrous prostitute who had been affectionate and righteous to Cai Songpo in history, but in Cai Songpo's view, it was Zhao Shouhong who gave him face, so he was even more grateful.The two sides chatted eagerly with wine glasses in their hands, and after a few drinks, Liang Qichao who was sitting next to him said, "I heard that Shou Hong has also studied my theory of Dahualan quite a bit, what do you think of me? "

"The teacher's idea is very good. Our Hualan ethnic groups are a whole. Only by uniting as one can Hualan be revived again." Zhao Shouhong said immediately. Like water, there is no difference at all.

Liang Qichao nodded and said: "I said at the beginning that a strong youth makes a country strong. I didn't expect that now Hualan has a talent like Shou Hong, and the young man beat the Saar people when he became an official. Now he leads troops and together with Songpo, defeated so many people. The soldiers of the Japanese army have greatly improved my Hualan national status, which is really exciting." Liang Qichao, who is already in his 40s, is like an angry youth, talking about defeating the Japanese, his voice is so excited, and he shoots continuously with his left hand on the table.

This time Rihachiro Sakanishi finally couldn't hold back anymore, and his face suddenly changed.Although he returned to normal quickly, he was keenly discovered by Zhao Shouhong who was always paying attention to him.For some reason, Zhao Shouhong felt Hong Ju's hand tremble slightly. He thought it was his own illusion, so he didn't care.

Seeing Liang Qichao talking about beating Japanese people, it was almost slapping Sakasei Rihachiro in the face.Li Yuanhong quickly changed the topic and said, "Now that Shou Honggui is a general of the country and also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Army, it can be said that his official career is prosperous."

"Prosperous official fortune is not what I wish, I just hope that the common people will no longer suffer." Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

"Shou Hong always puts the people first, which is truly commendable." Cai Songpo also said with a smile, and he looked at Xiao Fengxian while speaking, and the other party also smiled back.

"I heard that Minister Zhao once wrote an article in a newspaper, claiming that if the country wants to be prosperous and strong, the six progresses should be the first priority. But the political priority is the constitution. Now there is no king to stand. I don't know how to explain it. ?” Rihachiro Sakanishi asked suddenly.

Zhao Shouhong waved his hand: "The political progress I'm talking about does not focus on constitutionalism, but the progress of progress. Constitutionalization is just an example. Now the country is a republic, so it's okay." Zhao Shouhong said quite vaguely, he didn't want to He was criticized for his political issues.

Rihachiro Sakanishi did not delve into it, but asked instead: "I wonder if Minister Zhao thinks that the country has already started to implement these six advancements?"

Zhao Shouhong glanced at the other party. He didn't understand why the other party asked these things. Could it be that he wanted to show some anti-Yuan words so as to drive a wedge between Beiyu and Dashu.Zhao Shouhong said: "Now that the country is newly established, we don't have much funds to fully develop the six progressive developments. Fortunately, God blesses the country and caused the Japanese country to bleed once, so that our construction funds can be regarded as obtained. As long as the president agrees to implement it step by step, I believe that a strong day can be expected.”

Banxi Rihachiro was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. The other party knew that he was a consultant of the Wa Kingdom, and he was still here to publicize the compensation for the defeat of the Wa Kingdom.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Rihachiro Sakanishi continued: "I heard that Minister Zhao has an arsenal under his command, and he can take care of all weapons and ammunition by himself."

"It's not as many as the East Morning City Armory Factory of the Japanese Kingdom. The [-]-style rifles it makes are very good. It's just that that kind of rifle is only suitable for the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, and it's a bit short for the Hualan soldiers." Zhao Shouhong's words are purely It's finding fault.

According to the custom at the time, all countries should refer to the average height of their soldiers when designing rifles.Designers generally believe that it is best for the rifle to reach three-quarters of the soldier's height. Zhao Shouhong said that the Japanese [-]-style rifle used by Hualan soldiers is a bit short, which is obviously a mockery of the short stature of the Japanese.

Sakanishi Rihachiro was unable to talk to Zhao Shouhong anymore, and he was full of anger when he was praised and criticized as soon as he opened his mouth.Cai Songpo also heard it, and he secretly laughed in his heart that Zhao Shouhong could speak, and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled, why the usually steady Zhao Shouhong spoke so thorny today.

In fact, Zhao Shouhong did this today in order to give Banxi Rihachiro a reckless image of himself, so that the Japanese intelligence agency despised him.At the same time, what he hates the most are spies, and now facing the biggest spy chief in Hualan, how can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't scold him secretly.

Cai Songpo didn't know Zhao Shouhong's considerations, but he was not opposed to helping a good friend. "I heard that your naval fleet contributed a lot to the defeat of the Wa Kingdom this time. Not only did the Japanese Navy suffer heavy losses, but you also captured three battleships in one fell swoop."

Hearing this news, Li Yuanhong cheered up: "Not bad, not bad. I heard that it is still a large ship of [-] tons. It is really amazing. I wonder if Shou Hong intends to sell the warship? The president once told me that he hoped to buy a warship. In Tianjin, as the flagship of the Central Government Navy."

"Of course there is no problem with the sale, but in order to tow these warships back, I can burn the main engines of several cruisers. In addition, these battleships are being refitted, which is also expensive." Zhao Shouhong's meaning is obvious. You, but definitely not cheap.

Chapter 587 The Lion's Big Opening

"I don't know what price Shouhong plans to sell." Li Yuanhong tentatively said, this is a task Yuan Kai gave him.Now that he heard that Zhao Shouhong was willing to sell it, he naturally wanted to ask the price.

"It's not expensive, it's only about 200 million Saar pounds." Zhao Shouhong shook his head and sighed as he spoke, as if the price was so cheap that he regretted saying it.

"Two million Saar pounds?" The others swallowed in unison.

"Tow it back is just the hull. This pile of sighting equipment, armor and main guns will definitely cost a lot. 200 million Saar pounds is already very cheap." Zhao Shouhong shook his head, as if you were taking advantage .
