Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 13 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1)
After arriving in Quanzhou, Ling Tianfang, on behalf of His Royal Highness King Qin and the Military Affairs Department, gave him the order to immediately form the Great Eastern Navy, and officially handed over Yuhang Naval Port, Zhuangyuan Ao Naval Port, Quanzhou Naval Port and Huludao Naval Port to him. A pile of unexpected affairs threw Lei Cangpu into a panic. Although he was mentally prepared and brought a few competent subordinates from the South China Sea, to rebuild such a large-scale naval fleet, it would take only If you think about it, you should know what a huge project this is.
Fortunately, the dozen or so broken ships in the Quanzhou military port gave him some comfort, and he knew that although the dozen or so warships were a bit dilapidated, it was because of poor maintenance, not because of poor maintenance. Because the age is too long, it only needs to be repaired to be able to have combat effectiveness, but the morale of the sailors is not optimistic. I don't know if it is because they have not received supplies and salaries for a long time or other reasons. Confidence restored their morale, and everything was much easier with skilled sailors and officers.
This Huludao party once again impressed Lei Cangpu. Although the military port is a little deserted, judging from the maintenance of the facilities and ships in the military port, it is enough to see that this small fleet and the management personnel of the military port are of a considerable standard. , It is admirable to be able to maintain this state for so long after being separated from the Imperial Navy militarily and no one cares about it.
Lei Cangpu was once again surprised by the fleeting faces of the officers and sailors of the Imperial Navy from the Huludao Naval Port Wharf to the queue. He couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh", but this sound didn't escape Ling Tianfang's ears.
After some greetings and politeness. Ling Tianfang and Lei Cangpu signaled that the entourage who came with them began to get acquainted with the former Imperial Navy officers and soldiers who stayed at the Huludao military port and understand the actual situation of the military port, but the two quietly stayed on the military port wharf to talk alone, "Cang Pu, you just let out a snort, did you feel that something was wrong?"
"Well, I didn't expect that the Huludao military port is so well maintained that it can be put into use without doing anything else. It seems that the officer in charge of managing this military port base is a talent. I have already quietly inquired about it. This Huludao military port base is managed by the officials of the former Yuhang military port base. The admiral of the Imperial Navy, Zuo Shichang, I have heard of this guy’s name in the Changfenghui. He is still an all-rounder in managing the military port, but he did not expect to end up in the Huludao military port. It was rumored that he would take over as the commander of the Third Fleet of the Imperial Navy, but I heard that he did not have a good relationship with the high-level officials of the Imperial Military Affairs Administration. Look. This is also a burden. This time we picked a treasure. This guy's ability is not in vain. The rebuilding of the Atlantic Navy Fleet may fall to the people I mentioned, including this person. With regard to these few people, if they can be persuaded to surrender and devote themselves wholeheartedly to Xijiang, then there may be hope for the formation of the Great Eastern Fleet." Seeing Ling Tianfang listening intently, Lei Cangpu also wanted to show off his knowledge.
"Oh? Then you can introduce it quickly." Ling Tianfang really became interested after hearing it. The two discussed the rebuilding of the Great Eastern Fleet in Quanzhou at the beginning, and felt that it was too difficult. Already a little rudimentary. But even if the entire Nanyang Fleet was moved to defend here, it still couldn't take on the important task His Royal Highness Qin Wang expected, which also made Ling Lei and the others complain endlessly. Now that Lei Cangpu said it so happily, there must be some real things in it.
"And the commander of this small fleet is also a great person, that guy I greeted just now, with a cold face, he doesn't care much about him, hehe. Sa Zhenhai, once the famous red of the Imperial Navy Man, at first he was the commander of any squadron under the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy, stationed at the sea cucumber port in Kamchatka, and drove the ronin who harassed Kamchatka to run around like rabbits." Lei Cangpu felt a little emotional Reminiscing about events from many years ago.
"Then what year was that, I can't remember. Just because the small fleet stationed in Haicuan Port had a head-on encounter with the Japanese regular fleet twice as large as him, it didn't lose the wind, just After that naval battle, he became famous, no matter if it was a Japanese or a pirate, they all backed away three points when they saw him, hehe, let me tell you my lord, the ships of our Changfenghui also suffered from his small fleet back then. However, the scope of his jurisdiction is too small, and others can live like hiding from him. Later, during the joint exercise between the Imperial Navy and the Milan Navy, this Sa Zhenhai was in the limelight again, overwhelming the crowd. The fleet he led was the most popular. Even the commander of the Milan Navy is full of praise for the performance of his fleet, and hopes that he can visit the Milan Naval Academy and give lessons to the students. However, he can only hang around as the commander of the squadron under the Second Fleet. No matter how outstanding his performance is, the Imperial Navy seems to have no intention of promoting him, hehe, probably because of his poor interpersonal relationship." Lei Cangpu's words contained a lot of meaning.
"This is the ills of the empire's officialdom. His Royal Highness Qin has already realized this, but it is necessary to be clear about the impact of these criticisms. It cannot be done in a day or two. I hope His Highness Qin can come up with an effective method to solve these problems. " Ling Tianfang agreed lightly, and then brought the topic back: "Well, Sa Zhenhai has the aura to be the commander of the fleet, but we have to see if others are willing. Are there any more, Cangpu?"
"There is another person, who seems to be the captain of some warship? His name is Huo Yunfeng. The guy is very good at naval warfare. In that battle, the ships of our Changfenghui managed to escape from the encirclement and suppression fleet led by him. Even so, our Changfenghui paid the loss of two warships and one With the sacrifice of more than a hundred brothers, the Imperial Navy still has some talents, but they can't make good use of them." Probably recalling the tragic scene at that time, Lei Cangpu's eyes suddenly became confused, and it took a while to recover.
"Huo Yunfeng? Well, I've made a note. It seems that this small Huludao squadron is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. If you don't go through this experience yourself, how can you find out that there are such talents hidden among these people? By the way, how did you know about these people?" Suddenly thinking of this question, Ling Tianfang asked casually.
"Master Ling, do you really think that my Changfenghui all these years can only be achieved by sitting in the study? Our Changfenghui travels across the Atlantic Ocean and has never fought with any navy. Whether it is the Imperial Navy, the original Dorton Navy, the Japanese Fleet, the Ronin Bandits, or the Triple Alliance Fleet, the wind and rain come and go, and that battle is not fought hard. What? Not only do you have to participate in the battle in person, but you also have to worry about the changes in the forces of the various parties, such as the recent activities of the Imperial Navy, how many new ships the Japanese Navy has added, and the Milan Navy. As a routine exercise, these situations must be mastered and analyzed, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, this is the most basic combat rule of being a pirate." Lei Cangpu smacked his lips and talked eloquently.
"Well, it's not easy to make a living. This is the pressure of survival that any sect has to face." Ling Tianfang nodded, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?"
"By the way, there is another person. I am a little surprised. How did he appear in the Imperial Navy? This person is so impressive that I can still remember it after twenty years. He should be a Japanese. , how did it appear in the imperial navy, I thought my eyes were blurred, but I quietly looked at that guy carefully from the side, there should be nothing wrong, it is the person in my impression, he should be a Japanese spy!" Lei Cangpu's voice was very low, but his tone suddenly became cold and serious.
"Really~IndoMTL.com~ Cangpu, did you read it right?" Ling Tianfang was shocked all over, and his face changed drastically. He didn't expect that even the imperial navy had been infiltrated by the Japanese. No wonder the imperial navy would Being accurately ambushed by the Japanese fleet, it is no wonder that the coastal islands will fall into the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese are painstaking in these aspects, and they have worked hard. Then I asked Wang Zongxi and Bai Yuanzhong to re-recruit the Imperial Navy personnel, but the security department would have to intervene, otherwise, wouldn't the newly built Great Eastern Navy Fleet become the target of the Japanese.
"That's right, how important this is, not to mention that I was over ten years old when that guy was robbing Dengzhou, and I remember it very clearly. His somewhat weird Japanese language is particularly deep in my impression. Even if I die, I can still recall those eyes." Lei Cangpu spoke very calmly, without any emotion fluctuations at all. When the Japanese pirates attacked Dengzhou, he was still a weak young man. Although he hid behind the plank of the ship and did not face the opponent directly, the cold and ferocious gaze of the opponent was deeply imprinted in his heart. The slightly sunken bony node on the bridge of the nose is even more special, which Lei Cangpu will never forget.
"Phew, it seems that everything we do is not so smooth and peaceful. Hehe, it's interesting and challenging, so it's tasteful. It seems that the Japanese have been consciously implementing their infiltration plan for a long time. , They are no different from us Tang Clan people, I wonder how many hidden thorns they have lurking in the south of the Yangtze River?" Ling Tianfang let out a little breath, and said happily in bitterness.
