Chapter 878: Responsible
In addition to attacking the most prosperous Rising Sun main port and the Bund, Hong Maofan also had several warships that were blown away by the wind on the coastline further away. They were not idle, bombarding valuable targets such as houses and ships, and then retreated.
The morning mist was completely dissipated by the sun, and the sea was shimmering and scaly, and seagulls passed from low altitude. In the distance, you could see the white sails undulating with the wind and the waves.
The battle is finally over!
The Chinese people breathed a sigh of relief, but fell into a great depression.
Ports and cities were attacked, walls collapsed and houses were devastated.
There were not many casualties on the shore, but the hard-worked homes were seriously damaged.
Prime Minister Chen Zhongji inspected the places hit by the war, condolences the people, and delivered speeches to the people. The newspapers that day issued extra orders.
"Extra! Extra! Premier Chen Zhongji inspects the port!"
"If you save land and lose people, you will lose people and land; if you save people and lose land, you will save people and land. We only have people, and we are not afraid of anything!"
"Hong Maofan was defeated, they didn't get anything, so they ran away dingy!"
"Premier Chen encouraged everyone to actively rebuild their homes and expressed the strong support from the central government!"
...
The Southeast Mansion moved continuously, and the wife of the leader inspected the Southeast Mansion Naval General Hospital and expressed condolences to the wounded.
In the largest square "Victory Square" in Rising Sun City, the flag was raised and lowered to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who died.
The government offices work on site, and the Ministry of Finance announced that it will allocate millions of dollars to carry out the work.
Immediately start the reconstruction of the homes and clean up the ruins.
But in the military port, on the returning fleet, the atmosphere is much more complicated.
From a military standpoint, our army has won a great victory!
Three warships were sunk, two were sunk by the fleet, three were captured, including the Spanish flagship "San Carlos", and the Spanish admiral Marcos del Porto was captured!
Five of our warships were seriously damaged, but none of them sank.
In other words, after so many battles, only one battleship was lost.
However, politically, the attack on the central area was the attack on the "national capital", which made the leader's wife and the people frightened, causing social unrest and unrest among the people, affecting the leader's governance. How can the navy be blamed!
The leader is not at home, Madam Butler, Hong Maofan hit the door and frightened her. The navy is properly charged!
There was emergency rescue and disaster relief that day, and I didn't say much, I'm afraid that tomorrow, after a sigh of relief, someone will speak.
Although the Southeast Government is more practical and less talkative, it is necessary to hold accountability.
However, this is a headache for the upper ranks of the military. The middle-ranking officers and the soldiers at the lower ranks in the army are smiling. They don't have to bear any leadership responsibilities. They fought bravely and sunk enemy ships. Various rewards await them. Military merits. Chapters, bonuses, titles, positions, and Xuntian will be everything, and no ruler will have trouble with them.
The Hong Xiguan and his deputy commander Cheng Yu, who received the order to the flagship "Southeast Asia No. 2", looked stern, and they had a bad feeling.
They followed the springboard from the shore to the open deck of the flagship. The commander’s adjutant Colonel Chen Hu followed them with a solemn expression. Everyone saluted each other. Chen Hu said, "The sir is waiting for you in the conference room, please!"
Arriving in the conference room, there are already two people inside, one is the commander of the Southeast Fleet Chen De, and the other is the commander of the Southeast Fleet First Fleet Storm, who is also the chief of staff of the Southeast Fleet, and the two are waiting for them.
Storm is a former Dutch naturalization of the Southeastern Mansion, the founding veteran, his seniority is extremely old, is one of the main creators of the Southeastern Fleet.
There was no tea on the table, and the two things on the table made Hong Xiguan's face jumped!
That is the printing box, which contains the seal of the commander Guan Fang!
The other seal is the seal of the commander of the first fleet.
Everyone paid the military salute. Chen De invited the two young people to sit down. His face was without sadness or joy, but Storm had a relaxed look!
The officers arrived one after another, all commanders and senior captains of the squadrons.
Under the witness of everyone, Chen De motioned Chen Hu to take out a document and read it out, but it was the last order signed by the commander of the Southeast Fleet by Chen De.
He appointed officer Hong Xi as acting commander of the Southeast Fleet and acting commander of the First Fleet, and Cheng Yu as acting commander of the Second Fleet!
"Execute the order!" Chen De said solemnly.
"Yes!" Hong Xiguan and Cheng Yu responded together.
The other officers were quite envious. No matter what, both Hong Cheng had the qualifications of the most senior naval officer.
There was no frustration, Chen Delang said: "This war is almost over. Hong Maofan doesn't have many shells. They won't fight anymore. On their way home, our warship will see them off!"
"The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again, the two acting commanders will repair the ship tonight and be dispatched tomorrow, ready to lead a capable ship, chase the Hong Maofan, and'see off' for them!" Chen Deming said.
"Yes!" Hong Xiguan and Cheng Yuqi responded together.
"This war, our army will win!" Storm slapped the table, passionately.
"We killed so many enemy warships with one enemy and two, and even their admiral was taken prisoner. We played well, quack!" Storm said with a thumbs up.
"But from a political point of view, there are gains and losses!" Chen De pointed out: "We finally won!"
"Hong Maofan was defeated and ran away, are we not victorious or something?!"
"It's just that the city of Rising Sun is attacked, even if the loss is small, but it is of great significance!" Chen De said: "The enemy not only broke into the door of the house, but also broke into the inner room and smashed our beds. Someone must be held responsible for this. !"
"We are responsible for defending the land, but we have failed to stop the enemy's attack and cannot shirk our responsibility." Chen De shook his head and said: "When the leader was there, no enemy has ever been able to slap the face like this, but I am ashamed that it did not block the enemy's attack. "
"I will take this responsibility together with Chief Storm, and I will leave it to you for the future!" Chen De and Storm bowed slightly to everyone.
The officers looked at each other. They won the battle and drove away the Hong Maofan, but the commander-in-chief Chen De and Storm could not enjoy the glory of victory.
Chen Debai waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, this is a must!"
The military order was like a mountain. Officer Hong Xi and Cheng Yu made the handover. He didn't make any position adjustments. He only asked the officers to repair the ship and supply supplies as soon as possible to prepare for sailing tomorrow.
The meeting broke up. Official Hong Xi stayed on the flagship, while Chen De and Storm left the flagship and went ashore to the ruling government. They will meet with the leader's wife and accept the disposition.
In the carriage, the two of them were innocent and light, Chen De lost the majesty of the officer~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The cuffs opened to dissipate heat, and Storm simply leaned on the sofa!
Because Chen De comforted Storm and said, "We take a step back and the leader is coming back!"
"You mean the leader will use us again?" Storm asked sensitively.
If he is deposed and does not go to the sea, he will be bored.
"Of course!" Chen De said with a smile.
"The leader will not punish the general who wins the war, but someone must be responsible for the political responsibility. We took the initiative to give the wife and the prime minister a step, ease their pressure, and give the world an explanation. The leader will thank us!" Chen De savvy and honest.
"The wisdom of the Chinese is really incomprehensible, I don't think I will be able to grasp the essence of it in a hundred years!" Storm admired the authentic!
