Zhang Xiaoyue sat down calmly: "Did the guardian come to me to ask me about my [true] identity?" "Yes." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "I am very curious about you, how can you become a sheep reporter?
Yes? I heard that you took out a bag of gold leaves in order to report the flood situation?"
"If a bag of gold leaves can save people, it's completely worth it." Zhang Xiaoyue didn't seem to think it was anything at all: "As for me, I used to be a member of the Beiyang Navy."
"Beiyang Navy?" Wang Hengyue was a little surprised.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoyue sighed softly: "The imperial court sent a group of us to England to study the navy. After completing our studies, we returned to China and joined our Beiyang Fleet, and later served as the leader of the "Jingyuan". During the First Sino-Japanese War,
Our elite fleet in Beiyang was defeated by the Japanese. It is a great shame and humiliation, a great shame and humiliation!"
His mood became a little excited, and he adjusted slightly: "I didn't die, Gu Yan was still breathing. I went to several places later, but the spirit of our navy has been defeated. I am discouraged."
Leng, returned to his hometown in Nantong, never asked about worldly affairs again, studied the naval exhibitions of various countries, and chatted for the rest of his life. Later, I heard that there was a lot of commotion in Sichuan, so I thought of coming to see it. Unexpectedly, I made a sheep newspaper
.”
Wang Hengyue laughed: "I see you are only in your early thirties, your best years, why did you mention the words "talk about the rest of your life"? You are "Jingyuan," the leader on the ship, and I asked you to be a sheep
I feel so wronged to you..."
Suddenly, he patted his head as if he was a little scared: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous. If something happens to you in the sheep boat, wouldn't I be missing someone?"
Zhang Xiaoyue narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Does the guardian want me to work for you?" "That's what it means, that's what it means." Wang Hengyue nodded repeatedly: "Sir, it's a pity that such talent is wasted like this.
Just stay in Si 1 "Don't leave."
Zhang Xiaoyue smiled: "I studied navy. Does Sichuan have a navy?"
"No, I don't even have a small sailboat." Wang Hengyue said honestly: "Sichuan does not have a navy, nor does Jiang Jun..."
Hearing the words "Jiang Jun" that Wang Hengyue himself understood, Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Hengyue didn't care: "But if we don't have it now, it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. I'm also thinking about getting two gunboats first, setting up a shelf first, and then slowly deploying them." "Isn't the original intention of the garrison envoy not in Sichuan? But in Sichuan?"
The whole country?" Zhang Xiaoyue suddenly asked.
"Ah" Wang Hengyue's thoughts were seen through, so he used "ah" to cover up.
Zhang Xiaoyue stared at the guardian envoy and said: "If the guardian envoy just wants to be the king of Sichuan and does not need the navy, but the guardian envoy wants to build a navy, isn't he planning for the future?"
"Ah, ha, haha!" Wang Hengyue laughed a few times: "How can I have so many ambitions? I am a good-looking person. Do you think that if I have an army and a navy, how glorious will it sound?"
Army and navy, ah, haha"
Zhang Xiaoyue also smiled slightly: "Since the guard wants to save face, then I will help you to maintain this face. It's just that the navy does not need an army. The army only needs people with guns, but the navy is different. No, Sichuan's can only be called temporary
For the navy. And the navy has invested a lot of money." "I will figure out a solution for the money matter." Wang Hengyue said: "Navy, you have to deal with the navy matter. By the way, call Wu Qianlong.
"Wu Qianlong didn't know what happened, so he hurried over. Wang Hengyue turned to Zhang Xiaoyue and said, "Wu Qianlong, your father was originally from the Beiyang Navy? This Mr. Zhang Xiaoyue was also from the Beiyang Navy?" Wu Qianlong was startled: "Yes, my father is."
Super brave, the gunner on the ship!"
"Super Brave?" Zhang Xiaoyue stood up: "Your surname is Wu? Your father is a gunner? His name is Wu Xi?" "Yes, I don't know how sir..." Zhang Xiaoyue's mind seemed to have returned to the sea battle: "
During the naval battle that year, your father was known as a master artilleryman. Before his death, Huang Guandai shouted, "I am a soldier. I can't protect the country. What's the use of my life? I, the descendant of Beiyang, must work hard to avenge today's shame." Your father also destroyed the cannon.
I jumped into the sea, a feat that moved the heavens and the earth. At that time, I was "far away, and the trumpet was on the side. It's a pity, it's a pity that we can't comb each other." "My father is fine now, but one arm is missing!" I heard that I was fighting with my father.
Wu Qianlong, who had experienced the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, said with great joy.
"Okay!" Wang Hengyue said loudly: "Since everyone is related to the Beiyang Navy, it's the best. Wu Qianlong, aren't you always clamoring to go to the Navy? I will satisfy you. Tell this brigade commander to stop doing it, and
Let’s go together with Zhang Xiaoyue to build a ship..."
As he said this, he felt a little uneasy: "I'm not a brigade commander. I haven't even decided on the navy right now, so it's not certain whether it can be done. If that happens in the future, do you have any complaints?"
"Heng Shuai!" Wu Qianlong said loudly: "Wu Qianlong was born as a navy man and died as a navy man. It doesn't matter whether he is a brigade commander or not. As long as he can get on the ship, I will not complain at all if I am allowed to be a sailor.
"Navy army, navy army." Wang Hengyue corrected with a smile: "In that case, let's set up a navy preparatory office first, with Wu Qianlong in charge and Zhang Xiaoyue as deputy." This arrangement was Wang Hengyue's own idea.
Wu Qianlong has been with him for a long time, and he is a confidant. Zhang Xiaoyue has just arrived, and he still doesn't know the truth. He must wait for a while before deciding whether this person is really talented in the navy.
I was a graduate of the British Military Academy back then and suddenly said with great interest: "Wu Qianlong, I promised you that time to handle the disaster relief work, so I helped you get a gunboat. Now it's time to fulfill my promise.
"
Wu Qianlong was surprised.
Did Hengshuai really get a gunboat? This, I'm afraid, this is unlikely. How can a gunboat be so easy to get?
"Let's go, I'll show you." Wang Hengyue said mysteriously.
As Wang Hengyue came to a small river, Wu Qianlong and Zhang Xiaoyue finally saw what the guardian envoy had prepared for them: Mu Citron,
A fishing boat with a small cannon mounted on it is a gunboat. "How about it?" Wang Hengyue was very proud: "I keep my word?"
"Yes, yes." Wu Qianlong couldn't laugh or cry: "Hengshuai, what kind of boat is this gun? We have guns, but I'm afraid we can't fire them? Once fired, the ship will fall apart..."
"You are not talking nonsense." Wang Hengyue said instead: "If this could really lead to war, I would be able to arm dozens of warships today!"
"Yes, yes, Hengshuai is wise." "What a wise man." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "That's what I mean for you, or maybe this is a symbol, it is the beginning of our navy. Wait until we really do it in the future
Now that we have a navy, it has become stronger. This "gunboat, then, I will make a museum for it and preserve it to let everyone know that this is how our navy started!"
The expressions of Wu Qianlong and Zhang Xiaoyue also became serious.
The navy is different from the army. The navy can't just do whatever it wants. It can become strong by investing a large amount of money at one time. If the navy wants to be strong, it needs an extremely long process. Their generation may not be able to see it. It will take several generations.
It takes the efforts of one person, or even more than ten generations, to build a truly powerful navy!
But at least they have started now, even though they can't see the sea, even though they only have such a "gunboat" that will definitely fall apart as long as they fire!
This "gunboat" is a joke, but more of a metaphor.
"Hengshuai, please name our gunboat!" Wu Qianwu said loudly.
Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "It's called Qiang Sheng."
"Qiangsheng"!
This is Wang Hengyue's first "gunboat".
And the naval dream of Wang Hengyue and his men also took the first step on the "Qiangsheng"...
"Mr. Strawberry, why are you here?"
Just after returning to his garrison, Wang Hengyue was surprised by the sudden appearance of Si Wang.
"Well done, Lord Guardian." Stewang said with a smile: "On behalf of myself, I would like to make a donation to you and the victims of the disaster. Although the amount is not a large amount, it represents some of my thoughts."
"Thanks."
Wang Hengyue accepted Stewang's donation, but he knew very well that Stewang would not come to him just for a donation.
"Flood is a terrible disaster." Sitting down, Si Wang said: "But it is also an opportunity. In the face of the disaster, the guardian envoy behaved very calmly and maximized his image in front of Sichuan and the whole country.
This is a big improvement, which makes me as an investor very happy. But what shocks me is, how do you know that natural disasters are coming?" "[China] has many unique abilities that are not known to foreigners, and some
At that time, the stories in ancient Chinese stories that could predict celestial phenomena were not all fabricated." Wang Hengyue found a good excuse for himself, and then said: "What about you, investor? You come here,
Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Stewang said slowly: "At the cocktail party, you once told me that Beiyang wants to eat you and let me help you solve this problem. But to be honest, I don't have that much ability.
I can influence your president, but I thought of another way."
"Oh?" Wang Hengyue was a little curious: "What can I do?"
Stephan adjusted his posture and said: "I would like to introduce an American businessman to start a company with you."
"Start a company?" Wang Hengyue didn't react for a while.
Stewang said very seriously: "Yes, let's work together to start a big company!"@.
