Chapter 222: Plan to transform the warship
For a long time, Yan Changwu insisted that Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao. As a Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, he thoroughly wiped out the pirates in the waters of Fujian Province. He never crossed the border to wipe out the pirates in the seas of Guangdong, Guangxi and Zhejiang.
If there is no official document similar to the old Xiong, Yan Changwu kills the boundary, the consequence is:
The people will be happy at first, but soon the people don’t appreciate it!
Instigated by the officials and squires of Guangdong Province, they will think that you have ulterior motives, because you go to Guangdong Province to suppress bandits. For the long-term, you will definitely have to collect protection fees (for example, a boat is charged two thousand silver dollars in water), and this protection Fees, officials and squires will be passed on to the common people.
At first, people didn't have the money, because of you, the people didn't thank you, but hated you!
You learn from Lei Feng, do good deeds without leaving a name, don’t receive remuneration, you have, once there is no problem, and the second time because of military expenditures, Chen Zhongji will ask you: "How much do you want?" (sell you to be someone’s son-in-law )
To solve a problem for them, local officials will not thank you either.
You succeeded in suppressing the bandits. Doesn't it prove that they are useless?
You are beautiful and beautiful, let them be disgraced! They thank you for it!
The letter of report to the court was sent to the court. The emperor read it and was very happy at first. He eliminated the sea bandits and returned to the place in peace. Not bad! Not bad!
But think about it carefully, oh, you didn’t get the emperor’s edict, the Ministry of War, and the governor’s order, so you sent troops without authorization?
Any government acting without a nod of approval from a superior is acting on its own, without organization and discipline.
Again, you can lead the troops to Guangdong province at will, can you run to Tianjin, kill ashore, take Peiping directly, and sit down at the Jinluan Temple?
You are a military officer. If others don’t know, I won’t be wary of you. I’m likely to succeed!
More worrying, what if other officers and soldiers did the same?
In this way, the emperor has long looked upon you as unpleasant, and will doubly see you as unpleasant.
……
There are no rules and no squares, and the whole body is moved by a single move. Life is never happy, it's not what you want to do!
Yan Changwu act according to the rules, don't act rashly.
Xiong Wencan’s request to invite guest soldiers was approved by Zou Weilian. Nothing legally hindered, that would be different!
Knowing the battle plan of Young Master Yan, Chen Zhongji quickly sent someone to find Yan Changwu and asked him to show it! (The official document goes around)
General Yan Chang’s official document showed the public, and Gan Hui was the first to flatter: “The warlord has long said that “opportunity always favors those who are prepared”. If we were not for the closed training for more than three months after the Spring Festival, everyone passed the level. We have this opportunity. I can't grasp it either!"
"9494!" Everyone said one after another.
"Okay!" Yan Changwu said cheerfully, "Go back to Kaohsiung immediately!"
The fleet swarmed, and the Fujian navy who was blocked at the door of his house breathed a sigh of relief, and then he thought about it, thinking that he wanted to go to the Southeast Fleet. If he felt that he could not, he wanted to go back to his hometown to farm and fish. , So that you don’t have to fight against the Southeast Fleet’s artillery and die.
If you can’t beat it, you’re just a fool!
The dog of the upper class bit the dog, we will not accompany you!
(We) can collect money, but don’t do it!
So Governor Zou wanted to make a fortune with the Fujian Navy's idea of being promoted, so he OUT!
……
As the fleet returned, the Kaohsiung Military Port became lively. Everyone heard that there was going to be another war, and they all got excited!
Fighting is not a bad thing. Everyone has the opportunity to get promoted and get rich. As for sacrifices, they are all going to sea anyway. Fishing business is also dangerous, and it is not a small danger.
Under the leadership of Young Master Yan, there are many opportunities for everyone to win. Even if they die in battle, the family will receive pensions, and parents, wives and children will have a worry-free livelihood.
The military meeting had been held and the warships that were about to be dispatched were announced. The captain of the Southeast, Yan Dong, took a look. Without himself, he was dissatisfied. He approached the Deputy Chief of Staff Gan Hui and asked what was going on.
"The pirate ship is swift, and the warlord decided that your old ships don't need to be dispatched, for fear that they won't be able to keep up with the team!" Gan Hui said patiently.
"We can act as a fort to guard Haikou and at the same time act as an information center." Yan Donglai pleaded.
Gan Hui smiled: "This mission does not require a fort, so chase after you and shoot!"
"Okay!" Yan Donglai had to say.
Seeing his frustration, Gan Hui knew that Yan Donglai was trusted by the Overseer and wanted to befriend him, so he gave him an idea: "In the future, the combat missions of the long voyage will increase year by year. Your big ship can only participate in battles and battles. There are too few opportunities, which is very disadvantageous!"
"Brother Gan, is there a good strategy?" Yan Donglai's eyes lit up, knowing that there must be a way.
"Report to the Overseer, transform the Southeast-class battleship, lower the height of the fore and stern tower, and remove unnecessary decorations to increase its speed.
"This battleship is not easy to rebuild!" Yan Donglai said wistfully.
"It was not possible before, but now our new battleship can do it. We understand the structure of the battleship and have the ability to transform it!" Gan Hui encouraged him: "Besides, the Battle of Batavia is imminent. Transform it sooner. Come in handy, in the future, you can escape quickly, keep up, and catch up. With reinforced structure, you can use heavy artillery. There are many benefits!.
"It's done!" Yan Donglai gritted his teeth and arched his hands to Gan Hui: "In the future, I will have the results, all thanks to Gan's deputy seat!"
"It's easy to say!"
So Yan Donglai returned to the ship and reported to Yan Changwu and Chen Zhongji, pointing out the current deficiencies of the Southeast class (old-style third-tier battleship) and Beigang class (old-style fifth-tier cruise ship), and requested that they be modified.
Yan Changwu attached great importance to it after receiving the report, and immediately instructed to transform all four Southeast-class battleships!
Chen Zhongji refuted it back ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said, "There is no money!"
The budget for the year has been exhausted. The transformation of a battleship would be a big change. The plan requires 50,000 silver dollars, four is 200,000, and there is still some silver in the southeast treasury, but it is a spare and cannot be used easily.
So Yan Changwu approached Chen Zhongji to discuss with Chen Hebin: "What about the money?"
"Everyone knows that these four old battleships are indispensable in this battle in Batavia, but they are slow to move, and they will slow down everyone's speed. You must take care of their speed in battles. There is trouble in gaining the upper hand. If you lose the battle, you will flee. Don't lose! Once we lose them, then we will have trouble, great trouble!"
"The officers, soldiers, and pirates who were previously crushed by us will come to rebel!" Yan Changwu meant it very clearly.
"My uncle has closed business because of Governor Zou, and there is no money to transfer to us!" Chen Hebin said, referring to Yuegang's silver account.
"Women have silver, but would you dare to ask for them?" Chen Zhongji asked. For a long time, Yan Changwu has been in the same position as the Japanese, and did not have too much entanglement with the Japanese.
"Then issue bonds!" Yan Changwu bit his teeth.
Everyone agrees: "I have no choice but to do so!"
Chen Zhongji has always wanted to balance his finances, and said with a wry smile: "We are not military or something!"
"When we finish fighting Batavia and the Philippines, we will be fine!" Yan Changwu comforted him.
"I can hear that even if we control the South China Sea, there will be new expenditures!" Chen Zhongji has no hope for Yan Changwu, so he can only reluctantly find ways to raise funds for him!
Once the road to hegemony is set on, you can never stop!
