Chapter 1505 Conquering the Empire (51)

On the sea, the reconnaissance speedboat of the Third Fleet also ran back, and the reconnaissance sailor reported to Liu Ming: Your Excellency, after identifying the flags, we have found the flags of the captains of the first, second, fourth, and fifth fleets. More than [-] ships, more than [-] armed merchant ships.

Liu Ming waved his hands to let the scouting sailors back down, and said to Kai Hai, who was wearing the uniform of an imperial colonel, "The large warships are in line with the information given by the governor. Strengthen the training of reconnaissance speedboats."

Kai Hai smiled heartily: "Don't be so harsh, I think they have done a good job. After all, there are such a large group of densely packed warships there, and it is remarkable to be able to count such numbers that are closer to the truth."

"Oh, it's still not ready enough. We didn't know that the enemy army had been dispatched until the commander-in-chief issued an order. It seems that we need to place spies in various ports." Liu Qingyang sighed.

"Hey, this will only be implemented if you, the chief executive, ask for a budget and quota." Kai Hai said gloatingly.

Hearing this, Liu Qingyang frowned. He didn't expect that the original chief of the Qin family's navy would be replaced by this chief of the Qin family's navy. If you speak by yourself, Oakd will help you to get things done properly.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyang couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, Vice President, I don't know why Mr. Oakd was transferred?"

Hearing this, Kai Hai couldn't help smiling and said, "Hey, do you think I'm not qualified?"

Seeing the embarrassment on Liu Qingyang's face, Kai Hai couldn't help but waved his hands generously: "I'm not a stingy person, and I also know how much I can do. As your deputy, the biggest role I have is to stabilize people's hearts and take care of those who come here. Officer who is studying, anyway, in terms of warfare, I will follow your orders, and I will never hold back!"

Liu Qingyang obviously didn't expect Kaihai to say that, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only continue to listen to Kaihai's eloquence.

"It's not surprising that Mr. Oakd's transfer is normal. Don't be surprised. Mr. Oakd has served as the master's secretary, participated in government affairs, and has also been sent to the local level as a grassroots official.

Not to mention the army, Mr. Oakd has been in the army and navy internal defense system for a while. I heard that he was asked to go to the imperial capital to visit the emperor's son this time. In this way, diplomacy has also been done.So, don't think that he has wronged him when he resigned as the chief of the navy and became a major. I, a colonel, should be the first to call out to my lord when I see him. "

Liu Qingyang, who was originally angry because of the sentence of the emperor's child, immediately put aside his anger after hearing the following words, and said in surprise: "According to what you say, isn't Oakd equal to the future? Want to be the chief assistant official under the command of the governor? This kind of all-round training is equivalent to those heirs to the prime minister!"

"Hey, that's right, but there are still many candidates like this, Mr. Oakd is just one of the more conspicuous ones, hey, this is something that our old subordinates only know, don't talk about it everywhere. " Kai Pirate reminded.

Liu Qingyang nodded with great emotion. Looking at it this way, although Zhao Hujun is currently extremely short of senior manpower, it seems impossible to make it big, but when the people he cultivated leave the army, the situation will change immediately.

From this point of view, Zhao Hu is indeed a man with foresight and foresight. What is the ultimate goal of such a man?

Shaking his head, Liu Qingyang put these confused things aside, and called the messengers to issue orders: "Order the entire army, maintain the formation, position southeast, lower the mainsail, and move forward slowly! Order the vanguard fleet to release five scouts each. The speedboat is looking for the contact point of the enemy ship!"

After the order was issued, the mainsail of the battleship of the Third Fleet came down with a clatter, and the speed of the ship slowed down instantly.

The ten battleships at the forefront put down their arrows and sailed the small boats without awning at the same time. One by one sailors on each small boat looked around, and five sailors on the left and right rowed the oars quickly and vigorously. Under the paddling of the fast oars, the light and light boat immediately passed the big ship like an arrow, and quickly sailed to the distance.

As time passed, the speedboats sent by the two sides came into contact, and the United Fleet followed the habit of retreating when it found a target.

As for the Third Fleet, although they had this habit in the past, it was their motto to let them be infiltrated by [-] to [-]% of the Qin family's sailors, and to kill them all. Who told the enemy's life to be exchanged for prosperity and wealth, so one side prepared to retreat, The other side screamed and leaned forward.

The speedboats of the United Fleet are also bare boats, but they are pitifully small and can only be carried by no one, while the Third Fleet is a long speedboat with 11 people, which is not as fast as others in terms of speed and strength. , the result is self-evident.

As long as the speedboats of the United Fleet encountered the speedboats of the Third Fleet, there was absolutely no survivor. The speedboats of the Third Fleet were very rampant. They didn't stop chasing the speedboats of the United Fleet until they had vaguely seen the shadow of the United Fleet. He quickly made a big turn and quickly retreated.

Knowing that the reconnaissance speedboat suffered heavy losses, Jiang Yu and the others didn't care. Anyway, they have a lot of people and boats, and this loss is like losing a hair on nine cows.

As long as they know how long it will take to fight the opponent, this means that the scouting speedboats have completed their mission. As for how much these scouting speedboats have lost in order to complete the mission, it is not something they need to care about.

Hearing that the enemy ship was found, Jiang Yu and the other four deliberately went to the side of the ship to watch. They squinted their eyes and watched, but no one said a word. Now it is only in the battle stage, and any strategic command is useless.

"How about we adjust twelve old warships first?" Jiang Yu asked.

He was very helpless. Originally, ten ships would be enough for testing, but the reason why there were twelve ships instead of eleven was because the United Fleet had to pay attention to fairness.

Qi Ming curled his lips. He didn't think it was necessary to be so careful, but since it was Jiang Yu's suggestion, he didn't say anything.

Twelve very popular warships left the battleship group, mustered all their strength and rushed forward like a wind and waves.

Jiang Yu, who was watching the twelve ships leaving from the side of the ship, looked up at the depths of the sea, and seeing the hazy and dark scenery, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Look at the sky, the weather tomorrow will not be very good, I hope not What a storm is going to happen."

Qi Ming and the other three were all grown up at sea, so of course they have the knowledge of seeing the sky and looking at the scenery. After hearing the words and looking around, Qi Ming first smiled: "This way, tomorrow will be three feet of waves at most, and we are all heavy ships here. Branch, as long as you pull out the formation, nothing will happen."

"hope so."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, he doesn't look like a crow's mouth, because many signs of big waves that don't happen in a century start like small waves.

Liu Ming also noticed the scenery of the sky, and muttered: Will there be a storm tomorrow? It seems that a quick fix is ​​the way to go.

But Kai Hai's expression changed, and when he heard Liu Ming's muttering, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, a quick battle?"Escape is!Judging from the appearance of this ghostly weather, tomorrow will definitely be a difficult threshold, it will be difficult!Having said that, I was already very emotional.

Liu Ming was stunned: "Looking at the weather, it's amazing that tomorrow is just a few feet of wind and waves. As long as we are not fighting, there will be no loss.

Kai Hai sneered and said, "A few feet of wind and waves, hehe, sir, have you seen the yellow clouds beside the clouds in the sky? And the light snake flashing past the clouds, tomorrow's wind and waves will not be ten times what you said, You cut off my head!As he spoke, he cut his own neck with his hand.

Liu Qingyang looked at Kai Hai in shock and found that this guy didn't look like a joke, so he immediately shouted: Order!
Wait, what do you want to do, Master Chief, Kai Hai stopped him and asked.

Didn't you say that there will be a violent storm tomorrow? Of course it's going to turn around and go back to Hong Kong!Liu Ming frowned and said

I said don't worry, there will be heavy rain tomorrow afternoon, we can still fight for a day and a night, here is not far from the port, just leave enough time to return to the voyage, there will be no delay, Kaihai said nonchalantly.

Liu Ming stared blankly at Kai Hai, isn't this guy too courageous? When people hear that a storm is coming, they always go home as early as possible. Fortunately, he still wants to take advantage of the storm Go ahead and fight the enemy.

Liu Ming didn't want to take this risk at first, but Kai Hai used his head to guarantee that the storm would only come sooner or later. In addition, Liu Ming didn't want the first battle of the new Third Fleet to end in such an anticlimactic manner. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

Of course, after such a matter is decided, it will be sent back to the Metropolitan Government as soon as possible. The port is at rest, and this summons only prepares the coast for the storm.

Mr. President!The enemy fleet sent twelve medium-sized warships to provoke!May I ask how to deal with it, an orderly asked excitedly.

Hey, do you still have to ask, of course they sunk them on the spot.

Kai Hai waved his hand imposingly and spoke first, while Liu Ming quickly waved his hand: No, no, this is a temptation, we can't frighten them at once, send an order to mobilize 24 warships to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy ships!
