The Republic of Heroes

The Suidong ship finally arrived at the coast of Siberia, and the breach could no longer be repaired. If it weren't for more than a dozen water pumps that continuously pumped out the seawater pouring into the compartment, this battleship with a standard displacement of more than [-] tons would have sunk to the ground long ago. In the cold dark deep sea.It's just that half of the water pumps have failed at this moment, and the Suidong ship can no longer hold on, and has already sunk at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Excellency, rush the battleship to the shallows and run aground!"

Seeing that the Suidong ship was irreparable, Wu Xiaoliang suggested to Petrov.

"Yes, Your Excellency General!" Petrov followed up with an order, and the whole ship accelerated and rushed straight to the coast.

The young Chinese general actually knew that under such circumstances, the warship was forced to run aground in order to avoid sinking into the sea and increasing losses. He still underestimated him, Petrov criticized in his heart.Of course he had no way of knowing that Wu Xiaoliang often read magazines such as "Ship Knowledge" in his previous life, and he had read articles about American warships being accidentally injured by friendly forces during training and forcibly stranded in shallow waters to reduce losses. This method was suggested by Petrov.

The Suidong ship finally rushed to the shoal at a speed of 18 knots, and forcibly ran aground on the coast. The sailors who fought for an hour with the surging seawater pouring into the cabin finally collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath, and finally avoided sinking. Fate in the sea.

The naval battle was won at the cost of a battleship snatched from the Japanese and sank to the coast.Before everyone cheered for victory, Wu Xiaoliang called all the senior officers of the headquarters for a meeting.There was only one issue. It was imperative to attack the Japanese army on Temple Street, but once the Japanese army was defeated, how the Suidong Army would get along with Malinovsky's Soviet Russian army became a big problem.

Most people in the Suidong Army hate the Soviet Russian Army even more than the Japanese army, but some people think that the balance of power between the two countries in Siberia should be balanced so that the Suidong Army can benefit from it. These people are represented by Fang Qidao.

"Our army is currently short of troops, and it is easy to take down the territory, but how to defend it in an environment surrounded by great powers is the biggest problem we face!" A senior staff officer took the lead to speak. In his opinion, all impulsive and hasty actions are wrong. Wisely, with the backing of Chief of Staff Fang, he also speaks with extra toughness.

Those who believed that Malinovsky should be wiped out were headed by Zhang Liangzuo, director of the Fleet Political Department.Originally Zhang Liangzuo was the deputy captain of the Suidong ship as the full-time director of the Fleet Political Department, and then the deputy captain was replaced by Chen Shiying. However, the Suidong ship went to war temporarily, and Chen Shiying was unfamiliar with all personnel, so he was temporarily left in Vladivostok. Presided over the combat training of the remaining gunboats.

Zhang Liangzuo was temporarily arrested and performed Chen Shiying's duty to lead the Chinese sailors on the ship. Neither of these two jobs was his specialty. When he first became the deputy captain, Zhang Liangzuo was still a landlubber, and he had just learned how to swim before going to war. Not to mention commanding the sailors, the political work assigned by Wu Xiaoliang is actually a combination of the responsibilities of later political commissars and directors of the political department. He not only has a veto power in military decisions, but also the propaganda and defense of the entire fleet. Responsible, the most important one is to publicize the guiding ideology initially established by the Suidong Army, regain lost ground, and resist foreign aggression!

In the period of the Republic of China when hunger was everywhere and famine was perennial, let alone the emptiness of this guiding ideology and the lack of public opinion foundation, even Zhang Liangzuo, the director of the political department, was a little clueless, let alone the vast number of soldiers. The military authority of the director of the Political Department was used to compete with Petrov, the temporary fleet commander.

At this military meeting, he was originally excluded from the meeting according to his duties, but due to the special period, naval personnel were also included in the meeting, which gave him a chance to give full play.Although he has the lowest qualifications in the Suidong Army, a few months ago he was just a bandit-like armed leader in the old forests of Siberia, and half a year ago he was even a miner digging coal under a deep tunnel, and later he fought in Vladivostok It was only during this period that he was vigorously promoted by Wu Xiaoliang and became a senior commander in the Suidong Army.However, all these experiences seem to have prompted him to progress at an astonishing speed, so that all the tasks assigned to him by Wu Xiaoliang were completed beautifully and perfectly.

Using Tantai Jize's words to describe Zhang Liangzuo, this son is no longer Amon under Wu.

"Old Maozi killed so many of our brothers, how do we settle the debt? It's not impossible to cooperate, at least we have to pay off all the debts owed, otherwise, will our Suidong Army still be men? Tell others to laugh!"

Zhang Liangzuo's words were so powerful that the senior staff officer who spoke just now was blushing. It is true that from the perspective of the international situation, it is the best policy to engage in multi-party checks and balances, but the situation of the Suidong Army is the morale The direction is just the opposite, ignoring this issue related to the foundation of the Suidong Army is the fatal mistake in his theory.

But if you don't do this, Japan and Russia will be enemies of the Suidong Army in the future!He was not speaking, but continued to ponder the difficult question.

Zhang Liangzuo's policy of first settling the accounts before cooperating actually coincides with Wu Xiaoliang's idea. Temple Street must be taken back, but he doesn't advocate such a hurry in terms of time. There is no fat man who can eat in one bite. Expansion, facing the rebound and pressure of various forces will also multiply.Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and was about to end the debate. When he turned his head and saw Fang Qidao bowing his head and fiddling with the pen in his hand, he said in his heart:

"Brother Zhi, tell me your opinion, you, the chief of staff, have to express your opinion!"

Fang Qidao heard Wu Xiaoliang mentioning himself, so he put down the fountain pen he had been playing with. He was no longer the hot-blooded young man who shouted and shouted. Although it was only a few years, there were several wars between the North and the South, especially Fu Zuoyi. The experience after betraying the water has already cultivated his calmness that is extremely unsuitable for his age.After several confrontations at the venue, he had already seen that Wu Xiaoliang was inclined to regain Temple Street and drive Malinowski away, but obviously he did not approve of hasty action, and not doing it for the time being was contrary to his opinion. The point of view is consistent in the previous actions. After seeing this common point, he decided to support Wu Xiaoliang's idea, which is the most beneficial to the Suidong Army.

"Old Maozi's account is unquestionable and must be settled. It's just that the time will come sooner or later. We have to wait for the most favorable opportunity for the Suidong Army. The current battle between Japan and Russia is a great opportunity for us to benefit. It would be a pity to miss it, so my attitude is that I firmly support finding Lao Maozi to settle accounts, but not now, how the most important Suidong Army can gain a foothold here."

Fang Qidao looked around the venue at this point, some people nodded, some people tilted their heads in thought, and then continued: "The naval battle with Japan has just ended, and the army is about to fight again, these will lead to their madness sooner or later. Retaliation, but if there are Russians to restrain the situation, the situation will be much more beneficial to the Suidong Army, and we will be able to do things here with ease."
