"Yes, young master!" Li Xihua, who was wearing the uniform of a Far Eastern Army general, responded solemnly and immediately left the deck. The young man in white military uniform still stood on the deck and looked into the distance. It seemed that the surrounding sea made him
Aroused some interest.
At this time, South Asia belonged to the Far East Group in a sense. However, after leaving the Strait of Malacca, it had to enter the Andaman Sea before entering the Indian Ocean. Across the sea from South Asia was Indonesia.
Then the temporarily formed Far East Fleet passed directly through the narrow Strait of Malacca. Li Ningyu's order took effect. The flagship of this formation was the battleship Yiyang. After Li Xihua announced a change in the formation of the temporary fleet, Li Ningyu began his first
Commanding a naval fleet alone, although the temporary formation is not very powerful, it is still his first time for Li Ningyu. After confirming to go to Saudi Arabia, Li Ningyu also deliberately gave Liu Qinghui a bad meal
Naval command and various key knowledge in battle.
The main ships of the Far East Navy that escorted him to Saudi Arabia this time will be incorporated into the Western Area battle order after arriving in Africa, so there is no formal battle order of their own now, and Li Ningyu also boldly activated a young naval officer named Zheng Long.
Officer, serving as deputy captain of a temporary formation.
There are three main reasons for this. First: Zheng Long was born in the Luda area. His father was an outstanding junior officer of the Beiyang Fleet in his early years. Unfortunately, he was hit by several artillery shells from Japanese ships during the Sino-Japanese War.
, and finally died in battle.
During the fierce Yellow Sea Battle between the Far East Yellow Sea Fleet and the U.S. Asiatic Fleet and Tsarist Russia's Asiatic Fleet, Zheng Long, as a gunnery officer, put forward a number of effective opinions, and finally won the victory for the Yellow Sea Fleet at a slight cost.
control of large regional waters and annihilate the Russian Asiatic Fleet.
Second: It was the recommendation of Deng Shichang of the Far East Fleet. Third: Zheng Long had been making a living at sea in his early years. He had been a sailor on a merchant ship and was very familiar with the waters of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea.
Based on these three points, Li Ningyu personally appointed Zheng Long as the acting deputy captain of the temporary fleet in the Far East. Coupled with Zheng Long's special military exploits in the Battle of Lu Dahai, he was directly promoted to the rank of major, but the battleship of the Far East
The captain is usually a lieutenant colonel, so Zheng Long is just the deputy captain, and Li Ningyu is the commander and captain at the same time.
According to the latest instructions from a recent military conference of the Far East Military, the 80 new mini battleships to be built in the Far East in the future will be named after cities in the three provinces of Hunan, Sichuan and Hubei, while the 300 Huaxia-class destroyers will be named after Hainan and Guangdong.
, named after cities in nine coastal provinces, Fujian, Taiwan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Liaoning.
But Li Ningyu left Shanghai and Tianjin alone. Other Far East executives didn't know what Li Ningyu planned, but more than a dozen Far East executives knew that Li Ningyu must have his own motives for doing that, and it shouldn't take too long.
Everyone will know everything.
After sailing through the waters of Malacca, this temporary formation in the Far East immediately attracted the attention of the Dutch Navy Fleet in Indonesia, because the Far East Fleet did not greet the Dutch Navy in advance as before, but sailed directly on the coastline.
, but at this time, the Dutch Navy did not dare to say anything. They only informed the Far East Fleet in advance that they were willing to lead the way and clear the way for the Far East Fleet.
After Li Xihua conveyed the meaning of the Dutch Asia Fleet, Li Ningyu, who was standing on the deck, raised the corners of his mouth, and a sudden plan was formed. Then the temporarily formed Far East Fleet began a large-scale turn, directly
Heading towards Belawan, the main seaport in northwest Indonesia, and seeing the Far East naval fleet suddenly change its course, the commander of the Dutch Asia Fleet, Mousny, was shocked, and then immediately asked the signal corps to send a signal to the Far East Fleet to understand.
Condition.
While immediately contacting the garrison and small ships in Belawan Port, the commander of the Dutch Asia Fleet, Mousni, was wrong this time. Li Ningyu did not intend to attack Indonesia immediately. He just wanted to test it out and visit Belawan at the same time.
Lawan Seaport, and learn about the current situation in Indonesia. Although the Far East Intelligence Group also has infiltration in Indonesia, after all, it is most direct and clear to see with your eyes.
However, at this time, dozens of small frigates and torpedo ships had emerged from Belawan Port, and they seemed to be highly nervous and prepared. However, the news received by these small ships was that they were patrolling outside the port and had not received any news.
An order was given to proactively attack the Far East Fleet, but at this time Li Xihua and another army officer, who had just returned to the flagship command room, came over.
Seeing these two people coming, Li Ningyu asked with a smile: "What's wrong? What happened so big that you two need to come over?".
It turned out that these two people, one was Li Xihua who had just passed the order, and the other was Kong Xiaoping. Originally, Li Ningyu wanted to arrange for Kong Xiaoping to be in South Asia, but he later refused. Kong Xiaoping was not willing to be promoted, but wanted to continue.
Li Ningyu originally didn't agree with following Li Ningyu, even if he was just a senior staff officer, but in the end Li Ningyu discovered that Kong Xiaoping also had a very stubborn temper. In the end, he couldn't handle Kong Xiaoping, so he had to take him with him to Saudi Arabia.
But originally, Kong Xiaoping was learning naval knowledge from Zheng Long in the command room of the fleet flagship, the battleship Yiyang. Finally, after Li Xihua conveyed a temporary change of course, they received a message from the Dutch Asia Fleet in the command room. From the language
From the looks of it, the Dutch were seriously asking why this temporary fleet from the Far East suddenly broke into the waters of the Dutch East Indies.
But the meaning between the lines was full of respect. Kong Xiaoping was very confused when he saw it, so he followed him to find out why. After taking a look at the message handed over by Li Xihua, Li Ningyu, who was standing on the deck, then
He couldn't help laughing, but he still said to Li Xihua on the side: "Go and send a message to the Dutch Asia Fleet, Commander Musny, saying that there is a problem with the power system of one of our warships, so we are going to Bela.
Let’s repair the bay harbor!”.
"Yes!" As Li Xihua left, Kong Xiaoping, who had followed Li Xihua, was still standing on the deck with no intention of leaving.
Li Ningyu took out the cigarette case and handed one to Kong Xiaoping, and then the two started smoking on the deck. After puffing several times, Kong Xiaoping, who still had unanswered questions in his mind, said bluntly: "Master
, I still don’t understand why we suddenly turned to Belawan, Indonesia!”.
