Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 275 Such a small request is too reasonable
On February 1907, 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Xiuzhu was awakened by a rapid knock on the door not long after she fell asleep. When she sat up with a feeling of getting out of bed, she shouted irritably: "Who is it?"

Outside the door, Bai Xiongqi's extremely excited voice rang out, "Xiuzhu, get up quickly and follow me to Tokyo, quickly!"

"Good news, great news!"

"When the great shopkeeper went to sea, he found that the Japanese fleet was laying mines on the waterway where our Chinese merchant ships passed. He wanted to blow up the ships of our Chinese national entrepreneurs. He launched a fleet showdown in anger."

"The Japanese battleship Kaga was sunk on the spot, and even the battleship Nagato was seriously injured by our Shikai Fleet, and then ran aground and sank while fleeing in the dark."

"A great victory, this is a brilliant victory!"

"Now the big shopkeeper is heading to Tokyo with the Sihai Fleet to ask for an explanation from the Japanese."

"This is the biggest surprise and the biggest good thing since the beginning of the new year!"

As Bai Xiongqi spoke, Lao Bai outside became more and more excited and passionate. He is a person with strong political attributes. Because of this, he understands the meaning of this.

This means that the Sihai Escort Bureau once again used its status as a "great power" to blackmail the Japanese!

She was still dizzy, so Bai Xiong waved his hand, "Let's take a boat to the sea to meet the big shopkeeper. His fleet will set off from Saipan today."

But we agreed to celebrate the New Year together, but you suddenly disappeared a few days early, letting her go without a word of explanation, and you didn't know where you were going. Going on an expedition? What the hell is going on an expedition? Anyway, Bai Xiuzhu has been having a very troubled time these past few days.

After the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, Xinchou and the Ghost Bear War, a Chinese fleet sailed to Tokyo for the first time. I want to explain! This was so irritating that Bai Xiong's blood boiled up. Even if he was a cunning and experienced person, he couldn't stop his blood from rising when he first heard about it.

After finally making it to the first day of the new year, early in the morning, you really went out to fight and won? !
While she was complaining, Bai Xiongqi was still extremely excited and said quickly, "What are you talking about? How can this be false? The telegram and message were circulated last night."

"I thought he was tricking me... who on New Year's Eve would not be at home to have New Year's Eve dinner and go to fight..."

"It is estimated that the front pages of various newspapers in Hong Kong Island and Shanghai today are all about the happy news that the Four Seas Fleet won this naval battle."

It’s so enjoyable, so enjoyable!

She wasn't losing her temper. Bai Xiongqi had been brainwashing her, telling her to learn to be generous and kind...

When she was in Nanxiaonian, she also knew that Wang Shouliang was working in Foshan, and she had already agreed to have dinner, set off fireworks, and celebrate the New Year together this year. She also celebrated her turning 15 by the way. This was not a big deal, but she said It's another feeling to have something good done but let it go.

As a result, Wang Shouliangnan disappeared after Xiaonian... When asked, some people said they didn't know or were unclear, and some said he might have gone on an expedition.

"The big shopkeeper really went to fight?"

The Chinese have a tradition of staying up late on New Year's Eve, but Bai Xiuzhu didn't sleep much all night, not because of this, but because she was angry.

"Haha, the Nagato and Kaga that the Japanese just bought! They sank before they even returned to the homeland. They deserve it, they deserve it. They were crazy enough to lay mines on the waterway where our Chinese merchant ships travel during the Chinese New Year. "

No matter how specific she was, she couldn't ask.

If she wants to get angry, her elder brother Bai Xiongqi will still persuade her to learn to be reasonable, dignified and generous, etc.

"We are now taking Yalun's ship, heading north towards Xiaoliuqiu, and we can meet outside Tokyo Bay."

You are lovable when you are generous, dignified, considerate and considerate. How can you be a petty person?

Listening to Bai Xiongqi's words, Bai Xiuzhu suddenly felt a little dizzy.

“It’s so heartbreaking!!”

Bai Xiongqi waited in the living room of Bai Mansion in Yau Ma Tei for half an hour before he saw Bai Xiuzhu walking out wearing a new New Year's outfit. There were a little dark circles under her eyes, but it didn't stop Bai Xiuzhu from regaining her energy. She asked with a look of disbelief. ,"real or fake?"

"I thought he ran away to spend time with Cao Yun to show off his affection."

"When the time comes, I will still be required to come out for this business negotiation, hahaha~"

Once again, as a great power and a victor, go and argue with the Japanese? Bai Xiongqi was so excited that he almost burst out of excitement. This was much more comfortable than signing for Jiawu and Xinchou.

Bai Xiuzhu nodded, and just as she was about to say something, Bai Xiongqi was suddenly startled, "By the way, have you finished copying the [Compendium of Materia Medica] that the big shopkeeper punished you for last time? Remember to bring it with you."

Bai Xiuzhu was numb, "Huh? It's already this time? You still let me bring these? Do you still have humanity? Do you think this is appropriate on the first day of the new year?"

She's going crazy!
Isn't it just that she accidentally cheated last time and was caught and fined for cheating? You won't let her go, this little cutie, even during the Chinese New Year? !

The Compendium of Materia Medica has an outrageous one to two million words, and is also equipped with thousands of exquisite illustrations. Is this something that can be copied in a year and a half? ! How could she have such a bastard brother? !
………………

February 2, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Nearly 300 kilometers outside Tokyo Bay, Hachijo Island.

The huge Shihai Fleet gathered in the waters of Hachijo Island. In addition to the five large ships Shihai, Huanghai, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang, even Bohai and Tsushima Strait, which were previously stationed in Lushun, also arrived.

These are seven large ships with a displacement of 14,000 to 5,000 tons!

The seven large ships represent 28 305MM or 280MM heavy guns!

At this moment, the entire Sihai Fleet, except for the Nanhai stationed in Sebu, Sarawak, and the Karimata Strait, all the big ships are really there.

There are also several 10,000-ton cargo ships, more than 30 cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers, torpedo boat suicide squads, etc. accompanying them.

The huge fleet can be called a force in the Pacific that no one dares to despise at this moment.

Yin Lun's Far East fleet is not so luxurious. After all, Yin Lun has been changing its equipment and is working hard to build a fearless class battleship.

North America's Great White Fleet is also not so generous.

It can be said that the strength of the Great White Fleet is not bad, at least in terms of artillery fire and tonnage, it can put together a whole country to compete with the four sea fleets. However, the North American fleet and the entire navy have never fought a formal and cruel sea battle.

The Sihai Escort Bureau is different. It has been involved in bloody battles many times. Even in the battle on New Year's Eve, five torpedo boat destroyers were sunk in a bloody battle with the Japanese, and more than a dozen torpedo boat suicide squads were sunk.

Let's put it this way, at this stage, when it comes to the bloody and desperate charge of the torpedo boat kamikaze, the world has to look down on the gray animals of the Four Seas Fleet, the Japanese and the Mao Xiong.

The old powers such as Yin Lun and France are a bit embarrassed. Whether it is Yin Lun's Boer War or France being taught a lesson in Vietnam, they all feel a bit confused by the counterattack.

At this moment, the fleet is really going to head towards Tokyo Bay, which means less than ten hours are left. Along with the fleet, there is also a big ship Hanscat, a big ship North America, and two ships Ying Lun. Driving from Hong Kong Island...

Regardless of interests or other circumstances, regardless of how everyone views the Battle of Saipan, Yan Lun does not want the Sihai Fleet to bombard Tokyo Bay.

With the help of the Ghost Bear War, Yan Lun knocked on the door of the Japanese, opened a large number of treaty ports, and cut off several concessions. The stable and prosperous dumping market for industrial goods was what they wanted to see most.

On board the Sihai, facing representatives of the major powers, Wang Shouliang had a very calm expression when he asked his guards to distribute red wine to everyone, "It doesn't matter if you don't let me go to Tokyo, I won't say how much it will cost."

"The Japanese are extremely poor. Everyone knows that I only need to dismantle the mechanical equipment and shipbuilding technology of each shipyard in the Japanese territory, and bring all kinds of things back to Bao'an New District."

"If you think this condition is too much, then you can help the Japanese to support me with a group of engineers and shipbuilding equipment."

"They laid mines on commercial waterways. The evidence is conclusive. Louis even took photos. If you don't believe me, take a look."

The fight started and the fight was won. Wang Shouliang will definitely not be soft on the benefits he deserves.

Under his words, Louis also began to take photos. On the night of the Battle of Saipan, the Japanese used a pretense mode to let more than a dozen modified minelayers lay mines. It was true.

Forget it that night, the next day, Hans Cat's fishing boat dragged the fishing net and began to clear the torpedoes in that area. It is proper to take pictures when clearing the torpedoes.

And what Wang Shouliang asked for... was the various manufacturing technologies for super-dreadnought battleships equipped with 410MM heavy guns in the Eight-Eighth Ship Plan created by the Japanese when the First World War actually broke out.

The real Nagato battleship is a little stronger than the Queen Elizabeth super-dreadnought. This kind of manufacturing capability is the greatest scientific and technological achievement since the Japanese Restoration.

Of course, it is still too early, and the Japanese shipbuilding capabilities will definitely not be reached. If they can be reached, they will not continue to trade the former Dreadnaught Captain Gate and Kaga with Yan Lun.

But technology, technology, as long as the current technical level of the Japanese is taken away, plus the Sihai-class pre-dreadnought shipyard under construction in Bao'an New District, the combination of the two parties... complement each other or something.

Occasionally, Wang Shouliang can also start a hangout from the Genesis Plane in 1994 and bring back some technical data and manufacturing equipment. In the next one or two or three years, Baoan Second Shipyard will be able to try to develop and manufacture Dauntless by itself. Ship.

In fact, he doesn't want the Japs' manufacturing capabilities. He continues to spend money to place orders for Hans Cat and North America. He continues to do things from the Genesis plane, and he can also develop it himself.

But it is also important to let the Japanese lose this manufacturing ability! !
Following Wang Shouliang's words, a group of ghost guys holding red wine glasses and looking at the photos of Louis and others were speechless...

The photo is very clear. It is a fishing boat trawling nets and cleaning up many mines. It is something on the sea, but this thing has no clear geographical indication. Who knows which sea area this is?
Well, having a logo or not is one thing.

Whether you want to do something or not is another matter!

The person who came this time was not Wang Shouliang's acquaintances Kevin, Joseph or Brian, but an important person from the diplomatic establishment who was stationed in the Qing court. At this moment, he also said quickly, "Wang, what are your demands?" It’s very reasonable, I will try my best to get people to talk to the island guys.”

The fight was won, and such a small appeal was too reasonable.

Now Wang Shouliang and Yalun are still in the semi-honeymoon period. Even if Wang Shouliang's threat in the Far East has increased significantly, he...but his biggest foundation is not the Chinese Qing court?
This was an era when some places in the South were revolting again, with a large number of progressive people throwing their lives and blood to overthrow the old witch.

It has spread to many places and has great momentum.

He was not sure how Wang Shouliang viewed those things, but the old witch still lived in Rehe and had not returned to the capital for a long time.

Not to mention what's going on with the Siwu Development, Pearl River T-cars, Liberty Trucks, and Xijiang Trucks are really technologies that everyone in the world is dying of. The guy surnamed Wang gives those white engineers three or four digits in terms of benefits and benefits. Too full.

It is unrealistic for you to use ordinary wealth, promotion and salary increase to lure the other party to leave Zhujiang Automobile and return to Yinglun to support the automobile industry.

Then you can't kidnap, right? ? !

It is already February 2th. Wang Shouliang has already saved 17 Free Trucks and 33 Xijiang Trucks. These nearly 62 trucks represent vehicles that do not rely on railways and can pull nearly 10 cannons to achieve 200 goals at any time. Assault kilometers per hour.

One hundred artillery pieces is quite a lot!

Coupled with thousands of Zhujiang vehicles, this is a large-assault transfer mode of a 10,000-person unit carrying artillery units, which is an epoch-making breakthrough in the traditional land warfare pattern.

Completely eliminating the traditional cavalry cavalry.

The French Minister also took a sip and nodded, "That's a very reasonable request. King, try to keep your fleet as stable as possible, so as not to scare the man in the palace. I heard that that man has already gone north in a hurry..."

"We can discuss any small request like this."

Seven large ships fired in clusters with 28 305MM or 280MM heavy guns, which had already exceeded the endurance of the Tokyo Bay coastal defense forts in this era, as well as the terrifying land attack capabilities of the Sihai Escort Bureau.

Let's put it this way, as early as the day before yesterday, when the Four Seas Fleet sailed past the Ogasawara Islands and was still a thousand kilometers away from Tokyo by sea, a certain Japanese escaped north, just like the old witch who took him with him.

The European and American powers were still discussing in theory and on paper how the mechanized team of the Sihai Escort Bureau could advance by leaps and bounds on land. Traveling hundreds of miles a day was like a terrifying numbers game, but a certain Japanese soldier really felt the terrifying pressure firsthand.

The other party's escape direction began to hide in the mountains.

With Yin Lun and France's statements, the rest is the normal process. Hans Cat, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and others must be watching the fun, they are a bit weak in the Far East.

It is North America that feels that the Japanese cannot be too weak. The stronger the four seas rise, the greater impact will be on North America's interests in the Pacific...

But the war hasn’t started yet!

A group of father-level powers spoke, and North America could only draw circles in the corner, curse Wang Shouliang by the way, and hope that he would choke when eating and have cramps in his sleep.

They also learned that this time Wang Shouliang would send a squadron to station at Saipan and Tianning Islands at the invitation of Hans Cat. That would be against North America.

But they had no choice but to feel guilty. Not to mention that North America couldn't beat Yin Lun's father now, they felt guilty against the Sihai Escort Bureau. The navy who had never fought in actual bloody battles was not very reliable after all.
