My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 97: The cowhide is too big

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!

The elegant layout of the flower hall is the traditional layout of Central Continent. The main plane faces south and faces north, with a row of wooden chairs on both sides. Between each pair of wooden chairs is a small tea table.

Sitting in front of a map of mountains and rivers, Kuroda drank tea leisurely.

Although the real owner of the flower hall is Liu Bangchang, as long as Kuroda Shigeru comes, he will inevitably take the main seat.

Liu Bangchang could only sit next to him, first on the left, and first on the right, the division commander of the Okutsu Division, Kawamoto Shigeyoshi.

In addition, there were many Hercynian generals sitting on both sides.

The most eye-catching person is naturally Jin Haichuan, the commander of the Jinzhou Army of the Haixi First Army. He is a middle-aged man with a sinister atmosphere.

He was Liu Bangchang's most loyal general and the eldest son of Jin Zhengxing, the leader of the Jinzhou people.

Twenty years ago, Liu Bangchang also married his favorite daughter to him.

But now, he seems to obey Kuroda Shigeru's orders more, especially when the war broke out on the southern front. Kuroda Shigeru sometimes bypassed Liu Bangchang and gave him orders directly.

In the middle of the night, the lanterns were dazzling, so many generals gathered together, some even rushed back from the front line, because it was expected that a huge fleet from Japan would arrive at the Haixi port city in another hour Feishan Port.

Kuroda Shigeru was beaming with joy.

"Northern Xinjiang is also in chaos now. There is good news. Ren Zhonglin's staff and our envoys are also in contact, Liu Shuai!" Kuroda Shigeru turned to look at Liu Bangchang, "I, Japan, are willing to join Liu Shuai. , rule the Northern Territory and bring prosperity and prosperity to the Northern Territory! ”

Liu Bangchang smiled and said: "Yes, of course that's good!"

"Mr. Kuroda, I would like to ask how the Northern Territory will be divided at that time!" Suddenly there was a loud voice.

It was Deng Huanggong, the attendant sitting next to Liu Bangchang and the commander of the Jinzhou Garrison Mechanical Brigade.

The Jinzhou Garrison Brigade defends Jinzhou City. It is equipped with many advanced ordnance purchased from the south, including hundreds of tanks. It used to be called the Iron Hook Chariot Team. A few months ago, it followed the fashion of the Principality of Montenegro and was renamed the Mechanical Brigade. .

This is Liu Bangchang’s real family background.

However, according to Montenegro’s intelligence, the models of its tanks and armored vehicles are uneven. There are many old-fashioned tanks with thin skin and large fillings, or small pocket tanks with weak firepower. Naturally, they are not the same as the tanks equipped by Montenegro mechanics. .

But no matter what, Deng Huanggong, the commander of the mechanical brigade, is Liu Bangchang's most trusted general.

He suddenly asked this question. Kuroda Shigeru could not help but frown and looked at Liu Bangchang, "Liu Shuai, on such state affairs, we..."

A Japanese staff officer suddenly hurried in with an ugly expression on his face. He approached Kuroda and handed a message to Kuroda.

Interrupting Kuroda Shigeru's speech, it was naturally an urgent official document.

Kuroda Shigeru picked up the two-page telegram and suddenly his eyes widened, filled with disbelief and fear.

He looked over and over again as if he couldn't believe it, then stood up: "Everyone, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now!" He said to Shigeyoshi Kawamoto, "General Kawamoto, follow me!"

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi frowned. He often shouted around like this, as if he had become his subordinate, which really made me feel uncomfortable.

Following Kuroda Shigeru out, he saw Kuroda Shigeru getting into his car and waving to him. Kawamoto Shigeyoshi gritted his teeth and walked over.

After the two got in the car, Kuroda Shigeru handed him the first page of the telegram just now.

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi was a little impatient, but when he took the message and looked at it, his eyes widened suddenly and his eyes narrowed.

It was a secret message from the military. It said that thirteen hours ago, the reinforcement fleet suffered a devastating blow in the public waters. Half of the ships had sunk in the vast ocean, and the surviving ships had returned to the port.

"How is this possible?" Shigeyoshi Kawamoto was shocked.

Kuroda Shigeru sighed: "It is made of a kind of plane that can drop bombs. There are hundreds of them."

The second page of the telegram not sent to Shigeyoshi Kawamoto was sent by Prime Minister Yamamoto himself.

The situation is much more serious than the first page of the message.

In fact, the so-called half of the ships sunk means that all troop transports and material transport fleets were destroyed. The survivors were smaller gunboats, but they did account for nearly half, but many were also seriously damaged. , barely escaped back.

Nearly all of the more than 60,000 officers and soldiers of the two Class A divisions perished in the sea, and a small number of them carrying gunboats survived.

Lieutenant General Fujii Kazuo committed suicide in fear of crime.

Lieutenant General Morio Shibata is missing, but must have died at sea.

Kuroda Shigeru still doesn’t know how to talk to Kawamoto Shigeyoshi about this. As for those Haixi people, he has to stand aside and wait until he has an idea before dealing with them.

"A plane that dropped bombs?" Shigeyoshi Kawamoto found it a bit unimaginable. The plane was loaded with grenades and the grenades were thrown down? Is it very powerful? Is it a good throw?

Or is it a bomb suitable for aircraft dropping? Cannon-like shells? Came out with some kind of thrust?

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi looked at the telegram and immediately frowned: "What happened thirteen hours ago?"

Kuroda Shigeru sighed softly: "The military department also needs to confirm this news and analyze what is going on."

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi nodded, which is understandable, and suddenly raised his head: "We need to inform Liu Bangchang and his generals, as well as our generals, whether the planes that can drop bombs will come to bomb our front line. Position?"

Kuroda Shigeru shook his head and said awkwardly: "It's better not to create panic, right? That kind of plane may be specially used to bomb ships? Otherwise, why haven't the Montenegrins used it? What's more, if it can really bomb our positions? What should we do? If we order the troops on the front line to retreat without fighting, where can we retreat?"

Kawamoto Shigeyoshi was stunned, and said to the front: "Stop the car, I want to get off." He glanced at Kuroda Shigeru: "I will order my people to withdraw from the defensive position."

Looking at his ferocious eyes, Kuroda Shigeru felt guilty and coughed: "Stop!"

The black car stopped slowly. Kawamoto Shigeyoshi opened the door and suddenly turned around: "You should check, where did the Montenegrins buy the artillery that shot down our airship at North Montenegro? I have a hunch. , That kind of artillery should be able to deal with the Montenegrin aircraft." After that, he opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards his green jeep behind him.

Kuroda Shigeru was stunned and suddenly cursed.

No wonder, the Montenegrins were the first to use airships in combat, but they did not continue to order in large quantities. Up to now, there are probably no more than twenty.

The military department’s analysis believed that its own huge orders and deposits had squeezed out the Montenegrins’ share, making their schedule even further away.

For this reason, the military chiefs of staff were complacent, feeling that although they paid a high deposit, it was definitely worth the money.

But it turns out that the Montenegrins already had a secret weapon, a secret weapon that was more suitable for air combat than airships.

Moreover, corresponding anti-aircraft weapons have been purchased early.

"Go back to the official residence!" Kuroda Shigeru hurriedly ordered the driver.

I was so anxious that I had to go back and call Miss Asaba Yoshiko. She seemed to have close contacts with the powerful people of Montenegro.

I don’t know if she knows what that kind of artillery and anti-aircraft weapon is.

……

"Isn't this impossible?" Qi Zongxun looked at the secret code in his hand with a look of disbelief on his face.

A secret message from the Ministry of Defense of the Principality of Montenegro stated that the Japanese fleet that came to support the war in the northern region was completely wiped out, and the personnel, weapons and equipment of the two Japanese divisions, as well as a large amount of strategic materials, were all sunk into the sea. Feed the sea fish.

Qi Huaide had a wry smile on his face, "If it wasn't so exaggerated, I really wouldn't believe it, but Zongxun, that's not the way to brag, right?" Thinking about the panic of the Long family escaping from the bitter cold, this The news may be reliable, but it may be somewhat exaggerated.

Qi Zongxun was silent.

Qi Huaide said: "Anyway, let's take a look. This is good news after all. If it is confirmed to be true, Zongxun, I have an idea..." After a pause, 'Let's talk about it later. ’

Qi Zongxun nodded silently.

……

Looking at the secret message sent by the Prince of Black Mountain Castle, his sworn brother, Ren Zhonglin had a complicated expression.

He walked a few steps and sighed softly: "I don't believe it, what do you think?" Ren Zhonglin handed the message to an old man with white hair and beard standing beside him.

The old man received the secret message and read the contents, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.

A few days ago, it was he who proposed an alliance with the Japanese.

But what now? Even Japanese people can't cross the sea? The entire army was destroyed?

You wouldn’t brag like this. Most likely, you have achieved great results.

"Either Kuroda and I confirm the news..." The old man's words stopped abruptly because he saw the anger on Ren Zhonglin's face.

The old man looked around and saw that there was no one near the flower hall under the strict orders of Commander Ren.

But obviously, Marshal Ren is still very taboo about mentioning Japanese names.

His intention to betray an alliance or to betray a sworn brotherhood, once outsiders find out, this is a huge taboo.

If the power is good, everything will be kept secret by His Holiness.

But now, it is very likely that his plan was an extremely stupid mistake.

The four major families of "Sun, Ma, Zhao, and Chen" who have been eyeing it with eager eyes, once they know about this scandal, they are afraid that they will stand on the moral high ground and cause trouble.

"You go first!" Ren Zhonglin waved his hand.

The old man bowed, turned around and walked out.

Ren Zhonglin glanced at his back, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
