Respectfully

On September [-], Marshal Lou arrived in Guanbei by special train.When I got off the train, I didn't see Li Jinyan.Outside the station, only the car and driver of the Marshal's Mansion were waiting.

Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Li Sanshao was still nowhere to be seen.

"Young Marshal, Young Master Yan went to Dalian four days ago and said it was a matter of the shipping company." The housekeeper carefully observed the expression of Young Marshal Lou, and spoke cautiously.

"Where is my grandfather?"

"It's in the study room on the second floor. The second young master is also there, as well as Master Hongyun." The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Is this considered a pass?

The little fat man from Lou Wu's family, his name is Dai Hongyun.

When he was in the capital, Dai Guorao personally enlightened his grandson, and when he was old enough to go to school, Lou Wu proposed to send the child to Guanbei.

"Elder Tao recommends the school in Guanbei." Lou Wu peeled an orange, put it on a plate, let Xiaopangdun eat it by himself, wiped his hands, and said, "Besides, mother sent Ruier away."

After finishing the conversation, Dai Jiansheng didn't make a sound, and Dai Guorao became deep in thought. Mrs. Dai wanted to say it reluctantly, but seeing her husband's appearance, the words didn't come out of her mouth.

After thinking twice, Dai Guorao made a decision and sent Xiaopangdun to Guanbei.Of course, it is impossible for Xiaopangdun to be sent directly to the Marshal's Mansion. After all, Lou Wu is a married daughter, and Xiaopangdun's surname is Dai or Lou. Even if Li Jinyan nods, Dai Guorao may not be willing.

Lou Wu had communicated with Mrs. Lou in advance.According to Lou Wu's idea, she wants to live with her son in Guanbei, as for Dai Jiansheng, let him go.

Unexpectedly, Dai Jiansheng quit his previous job directly and set off with Lou Wu's mother and son. After arriving in Guanbei, he went to a middle school to apply for a Russian teacher.

When Li Jinyan got the news, Lou Wu and his wife had settled down in Guanbei. When the family of three came to visit, they even completed the enrollment procedures for Xiaopangdun.

"It's not an outsider, and it's not a troublesome thing."

Lou Wu told Li Jinyan about Xiao Pangdun's enrollment, and Dai Jiansheng went to Guanbei Middle School to apply for a teacher. During this period, Xiao Pangdun sat next to Lou Er Shao and read pictorials together. If you don't recognize anyone, you can only ask Li Jinyan.

"Brother Yan, what is this?"

"This is an aircraft carrier." Li Jinyan pointed to the strange-looking big ship in the pictorial, and said; "We don't have it yet, but foreigners have it. When Rui'er grows up, we will have it too."

Young Master Lou Er nodded, and Xiao Pangdun also seemed to understand, Li Jinyan couldn't help pinching Xiao Pangdun's face lightly, and only after he made a move did he remember that his mother was sitting on the side.Neither is it pinching, nor is it retracting the hand.

"Brother Yan likes him, it's his good fortune." Lou Wu smiled, and stretched out his hand to pinch the other side of the little fat man's cheek, "Yun'er, isn't it?"

Instead of being annoyed, Little Fatty smiled.

The three members of Lou Wu's family visited the Marshal's Mansion, and the next day they took Xiaopangdun to visit the second wife alone.Li Jinyan knew it and didn't say anything. When he went to school to pick up the second young master, he would often take Xiaopangdun along with him.So much so that Xiaopangdun spent more than half of his "study career" in Guanbei, except at school, in the Marshal's Mansion.The most direct influence is that among all the nephews and nieces, Lou Ershao and Xiaopangdun have the best relationship.

In the study room, Bai Lao is leaning on the recliner, while Lou Er Shao and Xiao Pangdun are sitting beside him, Yue Quan Biography is playing on the radio, and they are talking about the time when the Yue family army broke the Golden Wushu.

Young Marshal Lou knocked on the door and walked in, Second Young Master Lou stood up, Little Pang Dun followed suit, Old Bai opened his eyes, Young Marshal Lou respectfully called out: "Grandfather."

"Are you back?" Elder Bai pointed to a chair next to him, motioning for Young Marshal Lou to sit down, "Is everything in the capital settled?"

"Yes."

"That's good." Bai Lao nodded, "The Japanese matter..."

When Elder Bai and Marshal Lou were talking, Second Young Master Lou sat upright and listened carefully, but the little chubby remained ignorant.

However, this kind of ignorance is just an appearance. When sitting by the sand table in the game room, the little fat pier will immediately become a "killing and decisive"... little fat puffy.

In the evening, Lou Wu and Dai Jiansheng came to pick Xiaopangdun home. When they saw Mr. Lou, Lou Wu had a decent smile, but Dai Jiansheng was very reserved.

Young Marshal Lou nodded, his attitude was a little cold.

Taking his son out of the Marshal's Mansion, Dai Jiansheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. Lou Wu took a look at him. With this little courage, he was still in the outer room and mixed up with a foreign spy?

Seeing Lou Wu's expression, Dai Jiansheng was a little embarrassed, so he picked up his son and strode forward.Little Fatty put his arms around his neck, looked back, and waved to Lou Wu: "Mother."

Lou Wu smiled, took a few steps quickly, and followed.

The next day, a telegram was sent back to Guanbei from Dalian. After reading the telegram, Young Marshal Lou also left for Dalian.As for arranging for the troops to go to Beijing to participate in the military parade, Qian Boxi and Du Yuzhang, who had just returned from Siberia, had full authority.

It turned out that Li Jinyan's trip to Dalian this time was mainly for the newly "bought" ships from Russia.

In fact, this is just a cover. The shape of the hull and the artillery on board clearly show that these so-called "merchant ships" are basically warships!

Three heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, two destroyers, and even a battleship!

Most of these warships came from the Black Sea Fleet, and the Aurora, among them, fired the first shot in the October Revolution.

Why these warships "defected" from Soviet Russia, Li Jinyan can vaguely guess the answer, but he is not sure.After all, he only knew a little bit about the history of the October Revolution.What impressed me the most was probably only the Soviet soldiers who captured the Winter Palace, secretly wiped out the Tsar's family, and the batch of gold owned by Kolchak.

According to the officers and soldiers on the battleship, they lost confidence in the Bolshevik regime and wanted to vote for Kolchak, who had a certain reputation among the sailors, but what they saw in Omsk disappointed them again.

In Russia, the Bolsheviks and the White Army were fighting. From Moscow to Omsk, the gunfire never stopped.

The Bolsheviks began to implement the system of surplus grain collection, the White Army expropriated in the occupied areas, and the Russians overthrew the Tsar, but life did not get a fundamental improvement.Poverty, hunger, and war still loom over the heads of the Russians.

Apart from disappointment, the sailors who left felt confused.

They don't know what the right path is, how to really save Russia, or even whether they will be alive the next time the sun rises.

After leaving twice, the sailors on the ship turned from looking for a way out to save the country to saving their own lives.Whether caught by the Bolsheviks or the White Army, they have only one dead end.

They are willing to die for the country, but they are not willing to die in a daze.However, the domestic road is blocked, and it is even more impossible to ask European countries for help.

In the end, through the votes of sailor representatives and officers, this improvised fleet decided to try to contact China.

A sailor volunteered. He had relatives who worked in John's shipping company.Before that, he had tried every means to conceal this matter, for fear that the Cheka would come to him because of this, but now, this has become the life-saving straw for all the sailors in the fleet.

At that time, President Lou Da and Marshal Lou were not there. After receiving the news, Li Jinyan couldn't make up his mind for a while.In the past, Marshal Lou was the one who "charged ahead", and he only needed to do a good job of "logistics". Now that Marshal Lou is away, things can't be delayed. After a long time, the Russians will turn around and leave, or they will come out to cut off what to do?

In the end, it was Bai Lao who gave him advice, "Since I found you, it's time for you to come forward."

He came forward?

"There will be more things like this in the future, and everything has to wait for Xiao'er to come back?"

The implication is that Li Jinyan must come forward when the situation is imminent, and he cannot shirk.

Li Jinyan slapped his head and finally got the hang of it.There is a first time for everything. In terms of it, this is not much different from doing business.Maybe it's easier than negotiating business with foreigners.Moreover, as Bai Lao said, things are not normal, do we have to wait until Young Marshal Lou returns?Taking a step back, even if he can't agree with the Russians, he can keep them and find out the details by the way, waiting for someone who can agree to take over.

After figuring it out, Li Jinyan didn't dare to delay any longer. After carefully instructing the Second Young Master Lou to arrange the affairs in the Marshal's mansion properly, he set off for Dalian.In addition to Uncle Dumb and other entourage, he also brought a Russian captain who had defected to China in Vladivostok.

When Marshal Lou arrived in Guanbei, the Russian ships had already entered Dalian Port.
