Super dictator.

Deng Shichang, Lin Yongsheng, Lin Luzhong, Lin Taizeng, Yang Yonglin, etc., the names of admirals flashed in Wei Jichen's mind one by one. These people are heroes who bravely fought against the enemy and sacrificed their lives for the country with their own blood. . www

Maybe it was because of the particularity of naval warfare, or maybe it was because of other reasons. In short, in the Sino-Japanese War, the performance of naval officers and soldiers was far more dazzling and heroic than that of army soldiers.

Wei Jichen was riding a horse on the way to Dagu Port, and he couldn't help but compare the performance of the Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War with that of the Army in his mind.

In the end, apart from regret, it is admiration. What I regret is failure, and what I admire is the courage to live and die with the ship.

Next to Wei Jichen, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a mustache. This person was Duan Qirui who had just arrived from Shandong.

Li Chun and Chen Guangyuan stayed in the barracks to practice the newly recruited soldiers. Ruan Zhongshu and Yan Dunyuan were the only two copywriters around Wei Jichen, recording files and counting materials. up.

Therefore, Wei Jichen only brought Duan Qirui and Wang Huaiqing with him, and Duan Qirui was brought along because he was an instructor at the military training school in Weihai before the Jiawu period, and he also stayed in Weihaiwei for several years when he was young. Officers and soldiers have some intersections.

A group of more than a dozen people galloped on horseback. Wang Huaiqing and the others saw Wei Jichen's serious expression and lack of interest in speaking, so they also kept silent and kept silent.

"Zhiquan, thank you for coming to help me this time. With you in my Dingliao army, I will definitely add another general. I look forward to the future development of the Dingliao army." Duan Qirui came all the way. No matter how bad Wei Jichen was in his mood, Duan Qirui would not feel that he had left him out.

"The general is too absurd, and the subordinates are valued by the adults, so I am grateful. I think the subordinates are more than thirty, but they still achieve nothing. If they are not valued by the adults, I don't know how many years I will be a teacher." Duan Qirui said. He quickly replied gratefully.

Wang Huaiqing who was next to him glanced at him with some surprise. When he went to invite him, this guy was still arrogant and arrogant. How come he is by the side of the adults now? It's like a different person. many.

The reason why Duan Qirui changed like this is that he clearly understands that his identity has changed now. He was not Wei Jichen's subordinate before. Of course, he can be sold for a price like Zhuge Liang when he came out of Longzhong. You are very talented, once you become someone else's subordinate, you still look like I am number one in the world, wouldn't you be annoying and arouse the disgust of the general.

"Do you know? I suggested to Zhongtang repeatedly that the Beiyang Fleet should abandon Weihaiwei to break through." Wei Jichen suddenly changed the subject, his voice low and deep as if he was talking to himself.

Duan Qirui was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know about this incident, no wonder the previous order to stick to the port would suddenly change, Wei Jichen, a person who is very important in Li Zhongtang's mind, has been persuading him, and Li Zhongtang's change of heart is also true. predictable.

However, seeing Wei Jichen's disappointed face, Duan Qirui knew that what he had to do now was to comfort him.

"Your Excellency, don't blame yourself too much. If the navy fleet doesn't break through, it might have been wiped out without a single ship left." Duan Qirui doubled his words in his heart, and then said it carefully.

He had just defected to Wei Jichen, and he didn't know much about Wei Jichen's character in all aspects, so he only spoke three points when he spoke.

"It's not maybe, it's definitely." Wei Jichen replied without hesitation.

In today's world, who can understand my heart?

"Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through. Let's go!" Wei Jichen slapped his horse's back and suddenly accelerated his pace. As long as he knew it clearly in his heart, it was fine. Why must others understand? Wei Jichen adjusted himself in a short while good mood.

Duan Qirui and the others were inexplicable when they heard Wei Jichen suddenly say a line of Tang Yin's poem, but they were secretly relieved when they saw Wei Jichen's face sweeping away the haze just now, and the atmosphere of the whole team became much more relaxed.

In the port, three lonely cruisers are docking in it, and there are seven or eight ships of various types with smaller tonnage beside them.

A burst of clanging sounds came from the ships from a long distance away.

Wei Jichen gazed into the distance, and when he looked around, he saw that every ship was densely packed with naval officers and soldiers busy on it, checking for omissions and filling in gaps, nailing and installing rivets, a busy scene.

Soon, a group of people rode to the side of the port, and Wei Jichen could already clearly see the clothes of the officers and soldiers on the ship.

Suddenly, officers and soldiers of the navy came out and stopped them, saying: "This is an important place for the navy, strangers are not allowed to approach it."

"Little brother, please tell Admiral Liu that I, Wei Jichen, is visiting." Wei Jichen got off his horse and asked very politely.

"Wei Jichen? General Wei." The officer and soldier exclaimed, and quickly replied: "Please wait a moment, General, I will report to the admiral right away."

The officer who spoke left a few people to continue monitoring, while he hurried to the Dingyuan.

Dingyuan is an iron-clad cruiser with excellent defense capabilities. Its thick armor can ignore the bombardment of ordinary ships. In the Yellow Sea naval battle, it was hit by hundreds of Japanese shells, but it was still safe and sound, and it had the power to fight again.

It's a pity that the heavy artillery installed can't compare with the medium-caliber rapid-fire guns on the Japanese capital ships in terms of rate of fire, and their attack power is limited.

Not long after, a naval general led several naval officers and soldiers hurried over.

"Is it General Wei? I am Li Dingxin, the deputy steward of Dingyuan, and the admiral is waiting for you in the conning tower." Li Dingxin came forward with a smile on his face.

Perhaps because Wei Jichen might misunderstand, Li Dingxin explained: "The admiral has sworn that if the three cruisers parked in the port are not repaired, he will not go to land."

Wei Jichen could understand Liu Buchan's mood, and left the rest of the soldiers standing by, only Duan Qirui and Wang Huaiqing, and followed Li Dingxin forward.

Wei Jichen asked as he walked, "Then how are the repairs of the ships going?"

"It's almost finished, but unfortunately due to the problem of repair materials, ocean voyages cannot be carried out." Li Dingxin sighed, feeling very complicated.

A few people walked and chatted, and in a short while, they reached the half-foot-wide wooden plank protruding from the Dingyuan ship.

Wei Jichen glanced at the sea, and suddenly saw a small boat docked on the shore, with no one on board, and asked curiously, "Why isn't this boat being repaired?"

Li Dingxin replied helplessly: "This small ship is called Kuaima. The damage to the hull is too severe. No matter how much you repair it, it will be useless. You can only temporarily put it aside and remove some usable things from it before scrapping it." .”

Wei Jichen took a closer look, only to find that the small ship 'Quick Horse' was seriously leaking, and it was lying in tatters on the shallows. It might really be broken up as Li Dingxin said.

After stepping on the deck with one foot, Wei Jichen realized that the Dingyuan ship was really huge, with numerous forts, towering smoke bins, and masts spreading in all directions, living up to the name of the number one ship in the Far East.

There were still naval officers and soldiers who were repairing everywhere. After seeing Wei Jichen and his party passing by, they were busy with their own affairs after silently saluting, and did not stop to ask and watch curiously.

Lushun has the largest shipyard in East Asia, but it is a pity that it is now helping to repair the damaged ships of the Japanese. After the Japanese leave, I don’t know what will be left in the dock. The lack of tools here will be hard for the sailors.

"It's the command tower."

Li Dingxin interrupted Wei Jichen's reverie, and stretched out his hand as if to invite him inside.

Wei Jichen had to bow his head and enter the door because there were some parts that Wei Jichen didn't know the names of hanging from the door of the conning tower.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a thin, middle-aged man in the uniform of an admiral, sitting on a chair by the table with a haggard face.

It seems that this person is Liu Buchan.

"Has Admiral Wei come?" Liu Buchan got up to greet him, with a forced smile on his face.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit." Wei Jichen replied with a smile.

"Admiral Liu." Behind Wei Jichen, Duan Qirui suddenly stepped forward to say hello.

Only then did Liu Buchan discover that the person behind Wei Jichen was Duan Qirui, and he couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Zhiquan has come."

Duan Qirui stepped back again, nodded and replied, "I'm following General Wei now."

"So that's how it is." Liu Buchan couldn't help but look at Wei Jichen with admiration. To understand a person, one must first see who is around him.

Several people greeted each other for a while, then sat down one by one, and Liu Buchan sent someone to bring tea.

"I heard that Master Wei is selecting soldiers for the Dingliao Army. I wonder how it is going?" Although Liu Buchan was not far from the Dingyuan, he was still well informed.

After Wei Jichen took a sip of tea, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm here for this purpose. I have selected one-third of the Dingliao Army's soldiers, and the recruitment will be full soon. Gai Shi will definitely lead the army to Haicheng , so it depends on whether the navy can send ships to transport it."

Liu Buchan pondered for a moment, then agreed: "There are still a few troop carriers in the fleet. If Mr. Wei is not in a hurry, I can escort my three cruisers after the repairs are completed."

Liu Buchan knew that Wei Jichen was definitely going to land in Yingkou, so he didn't think there was a big problem. Although the Japanese fleet was still cruising around the Bohai Strait, they did not enter the Bohai Sea because of the armistice, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

Wei Jichen beamed with joy, and said gratefully: "Well, I would like to thank Mr. Liu for your help. I will make a request to the governor after I go back."

After Liu Buchan nodded, he hesitated to speak, stood up abruptly, bent down and gave a big gift to Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen was taken aback by him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, who was a little unclear, and asked, "Why is Master Liu like this? If there is anything I can help, just say it."

Duan Qirui also persuaded him from the side: "Brother Zixiang is too stranger, I and you are old acquaintances, and now I work under the master's sect, then you and my master are a family, what else do you need?" Do this great gift."

Duan Qirui was a good talker, and he immediately shortened the distance between the two sides. Wei Jichen nodded his head quietly to express his appreciation.

Under the persuasion of the two, Liu Buchan sat back in his seat again, and then said with a sad face: "Weihaiwei's breakout battle, my Beiyang Fleet lost a lot of ships, and countless sailors were buried in the sea. In order to be able to avenge them in the future, but now I suddenly heard the news that Yang Yonglin, the captain of the Zhenyuan ship, had his legs blown off. Up there, something went wrong."

At this point, Liu Buchan glanced at Wei Jichen, and continued, "The Japanese will only exchange Yuchen with Gui Taro. Therefore, I beg Mr. Wei to go forward and exchange Gui Taro for Yuchen."

Gui Taro was the Japanese general who was captured by the Chinese with the highest rank. When the Chinese negotiators exchanged the prisoners, they hoped to use him to obtain more benefits, but the Japanese side was only willing to exchange him with Yang Yonglin.

Now that Yang Yonglin's legs are useless, in the eyes of some people, he has no value. Naturally, the Chinese side is not very willing, so the two sides have come to a stalemate.

Gui Tailang was captured by Wei Jichen, obviously Wei Jichen could have something to say on this matter.

In fact, to Wei Jichen, it doesn't matter how Gui Taro is handed over to the Japanese side, but since Liu Buchan has asked him, he has no reason to answer.

"It's a small matter, I will supervise this matter as soon as possible so that Master Yang can get treatment as soon as possible." Wei Jichen agreed without hesitation.

"On Yuchen's behalf, I have thanked Mr. Wei." Liu Buchan bowed again.

Wei Jichen had no choice but to smile bitterly, picked up his teacup, and pretended to ask casually: "Master Liu, when I boarded the Dingyuan just now, I saw the small steamer Kuaima abandoned, I don't know if I can pay for this boat. Small boat?"

Liu Buchan didn't know how to thank Wei Jichen. Hearing this, he quickly said: "This ship has been scrapped, but it's too late to deal with it. You just need to report it to the court. If Mr. Wei wants it, you can just take it, but now hurry up." The horse is just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, what use can Master Wei get for it?"

Wei Jichen laughed and said, "Similarly like Master Liu, I wanted to be a navy officer and soldier, but now it seems impossible, so I bought a scrap ship to comfort you."

Seeing this, Liu Buchan didn't ask any more questions.

Then, the two chatted about some things about the war against the Japanese, with Duan Qirui helping out, Wei Jichen soon got acquainted with Liu Buchan, and Liu Buchan was no longer as polite as before.

Both sides were busy with military affairs, and it didn't take long for Wei Jichen to get up and leave.

After getting off the Dingyuan, Wei Jichen got into the small boat with an excited expression on his face, and boarded the Kuaima alone.

The 25-ton small ship was indeed dilapidated. Fortunately, Wei Jichen didn't want to get the Kuai Ma, which was just his entrustment, and it was to draw out the entrustment of the naval system.

Wei Jichen entered the system with both anticipation and apprehension.

Please, please!This method is effective, Wei Jichen muttered something.

In the military system, when Wei Jichen saw that the option of the naval system had been highlighted, he couldn't help being very excited.Go in quickly.

Naval system: Quick Horse, a broken ship, the host is advised to repair it quickly.

Number of Navy officers and soldiers: 0, it is recommended that the host quickly recruit.

Morale: None.

The navy finally came out, Wei Jichen really wanted to shout loudly, but he didn't expect that he got the system's approval by playing tricks.

Hurry up, go to the super high-tech military system, don't let me down.

While rubbing his hands excitedly, Wei Jichen couldn't wait to enter the naval science and technology military system in the exchange system.

The swarthy hull appeared above the sea.

What does this look like?Wei Jichen immediately looked at the introduction below.
