Episode 71 Level 1 Alert

Episode 71 Level 1 Alert

Xiang Xiaoqiang held the phone receiver, and his hand began to tremble slightly. When he thought that the Japanese battle fleet was within easy reach of the Ming fleet, and might launch an attack within an hour or two, or even within ten or twenty minutes, his

My back started to feel chilly.

Xiang Xiaoqiang is very clear about the hardware gap between the Zhengde and Fuso. As for the "software" gap between the two navies, Xiang Xiaoqiang is also very clear. Although it is not the gap between the Beiyang Navy and the Japanese Navy, it is definitely

There is a gap. As for how big the gap is... we will probably see the difference soon.

He swallowed and said dryly:

"Master Xiong... you are the highest commander of the navy. What do you think we should do?"

Xiong Dingming was silent for a moment and said softly:

"The only way is to let the Zhengde squadron leave Vladivostok quickly and prepare for the battle. As for the navy... it can only issue a battle warning to all major fleets."

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said:

"Well, that's all that can be done. Mr. Xiong, there is a saying that we have discussed more than once. You may also think that I have some fantasy... But Mr. Xiong, now I can only shamelessly say it again: Please do it.

Pay attention to the combat role of naval aviation... Believe me, it is much more efficient to use aircraft to attack enemy ships."

Xiong Dingming’s voice sounded anxious:

"Well... maybe."

"The battlefield is the best testing ground," Xiang Xiaoqiang said earnestly, "We must at least give it a try."

"Okay...I'll look at it based on the actual situation."

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed and said:

"So... Mr. Xiong, you are the highest commander of the navy. Just do what you think you should do."



Xiang Xiaoqiang hung up the phone and rang the bell immediately, and Hu Jiong came in.

"Call Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu! Call the commanders as well! Hurry!"

Hu Jiong looked at Xiaoqiang with bloodshot eyes. Knowing that the situation was serious, he rushed out. After a while, Qiu Qiu and Xiuxiu both ran in.

"Xiaoqiang, what happened?"

"Sir, what's going on?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't even look up. He lowered his head and wrote quickly, with beads of sweat dripping from his head. After a while, he tore off a piece of paper:

"Qiu Qiu, take this to the confidential room and send it directly to the Shenyang headquarters of the Fengtian garrison, so that they can prepare to resist the Japanese attack!...Xiuxiu, call General Staff Tang of the headquarters and tell him that the Japanese fleet is likely to attack me.

The Zhengde squadron launched an attack and asked him to

Issue a battle alert to all the Ming army!...Do you understand what is going on? Do you understand? Okay, then you go inform His Majesty and communicate with the cabinet...Bring in some more telephones and you can contact us here!...What's going on?

!The commanders haven’t come yet!!!”

When he raised his head, he saw that the two little girls were pale and staring at him dumbfounded. Xiang Xiaoqiang slapped the table and yelled, and the two immediately ran away.

Qiu Qiu ran last and ran into Shi Shi Ge Ge's arms when she was going out. Shi Shi Ge Ge hugged her and said with a smile:

"Qiu Qiu, why are you in such a hurry..."

Qiu Qiu broke free with a "Wow" and rushed out without thinking. Her shout echoed in the corridor:

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't block me..."

Fourteen Gege smelled the tension in the air, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang's sweating profusely, and knew something was wrong.

"Xiaoqiang..." she asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang lowered his head and was busy writing telegrams and orders. He just wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Stop saying anything, just wait and pretend to be a female figure for me..."

Fourteen was stunned for a moment, and then his face slowly turned pale.



Almost in an instant, the entire People's Guard Headquarters was like a giant beehive, all in motion. Orders were sent out through telephone lines and radio waves, and cars rushed out of the gate and raced on Changping Road.

among the various imperial military and administrative departments.

Within an hour, all the military and political departments in Nanjing were also in action. The military and political officers of each department received horrifying warnings one after another. Although they were skeptical to varying degrees, no one dared to ignore them. Because this was different from the past. No matter how horrifying the warnings were in the past,

That is just Xiang Xiaoqiang's "personal opinion", and it is mixed with a lot of personal likes and dislikes. There is no evidence, so just listen to it. But now it is a formal warning issued to various departments in the official name of the People's Guard.

Since Zhang Zhaoxian resigned after taking the blame, Tang Yunsheng became the chief of staff of the headquarters and concurrently served as the chief of staff of the army. Now, Xiang Xiaoqiang's warning was placed in front of him again.

Listening to the anxious and patient voice on the phone, the old man struggled fiercely in his mind. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He has always had a good impression of the little girl Xiu Xiu, especially now that she has become a princess, she still shows no airs at all and can treat him respectfully like an ordinary captain, which makes the old man very satisfied. These high-level old marshals are the most

Don't care about this. Tang Yunsheng always feels that Xiuxiu does this better than Xiang Xiaoqiang.

"Your Highness Princess..." Tang Yunsheng, who was now very anxious and nervous, said, "You said that Tingzhi has issued an alert to the Shenyang headquarters? Is it because... because the Zhengde discovered a Japanese reconnaissance plane?"

Xiu Xiu patiently said respectfully:

"Tang Gong... I told you that I will explain it to you, please don't take it off... He has no choice, because the attack may start in the next hour or the next minute, and he is afraid that it will be too late... Besides... he just

It was an alarm, not an order... Haha, Mr. Tang... it was a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. Discovering it means that the Japanese fleet is not far away..."

Tang Yunsheng didn't care about "leapfrogging" Xiang Xiaoqiang. He just felt that Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little frightened. Even if the Japanese fleet was in the Sea of ​​Japan, it might not be attacking the Ming Dynasty. It was previously speculated that Japan would attack the Soviet Union, so

It is completely reasonable to send the fleet out now. Xiang Xiaoqiang is so sure that the Japanese ships are coming for the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it the result of fantasizing about "Japan attacking the Ming Dynasty" all day long?

However, this is where Tang Yunsheng's anxiety begins. He is not sure that Xiang Xiaoqiang is wrong now. It cannot be said that Xiang Xiaoqiang's idea is unreasonable. The problem is that this matter has huge stakes, and a single mistake in judgment can lead to serious consequences.

Extremely serious consequences. Tang Yunsheng cannot bear this responsibility. But Xiang Xiaoqiang is his "loved disciple". If Xiang Xiaoqiang messes up this time, it will not only be a matter of making a fool of himself. Tang Yunsheng also does not want Xiang Xiaoqiang to give himself to

ruined.

There is another reason why Tang Yunsheng is not so confident. The last time he fought against Xiaoqiang's rebellion in Northern Xinjiang, he issued a warning that "the Soviet Union will attack Northern Xinjiang." At that time, neither Zhang Zhaoxian nor himself took it seriously, which later caused the consequences of

The loss, the destruction of the First Armored Division, and the consequences of Zhang Zhaoxian's resignation. Now, Tang Yunsheng is not willing to make the same mistake again.

He put the handkerchief in his pocket with trembling hands, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, then he took a breath and said:

"Okay... Your Highness, please tell Tingzhi that I will immediately issue a battle warning to the entire army. At the same time, please Tingzhi to cheer up and work hard to lead the colleagues of the People's Guard to resist the national disaster."

Xiuxiu's voice suddenly became much more relaxed:

"Thank you, Mr. Tang! Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will definitely tell the Lord!... Mr. Tang, you will be so busy soon, you must take care of yourself!"

Tang Yunsheng felt warm in his heart and laughed:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Princess..."

He hung up the phone and felt that his blood pressure was a little high at this moment. Xiuxiu's last words were indeed not polite. Tang Yunsheng opened the drawer, found two antihypertensive pills and took them. Then he immediately rang the bell, called for the adjutant and secretary, and began to ask

The whole army issued an order.



Ten minutes later, in the far northern waters, the Zhengde squadron cruising off Vladivostok began to turn, accelerate, and move towards the open sea to the southeast. At the same time, it slowly formed a search and alert formation. The ship-borne water reconnaissance aircraft also

Released.

Half an hour later, sharp alarms sounded from the East China Sea Fleet, Dongjiang Fleet, Nanyang Fleet, and Fengtian garrison bases. The soldiers lying in the barracks quickly put on their helmets, grabbed their guns, and rushed out to assemble the whole team. Each anti-aircraft gun shook

He got up, his gun barrel pointed at the sky, and countless high-powered telescopes searched the sky.

Ten minutes later, one-third of the fighter jets at each airport were activated, and one by one they rushed into the sky and began to search in formation. The forts in the Zhoushan Islands were also on high alert, and several key waterways were on alert.

, the floating mines were raised, and the submarine interception net was closed. The torpedo boats and destroyers were scattered in large groups like hunting dogs, wandering on the open sea.

In the sky, a group of four fighter jets were taking off for warning, and soon one group flew by. The fishing boats that were still fishing at sea were all ordered to return to the port.
