Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1228 Prepare for war and dispute

On the way out of the city, Zai Chun discovered that the fanaticism inside the market was much more fervent than when he was at the city gate tower. There was a sea of people everywhere, and the troops were starting to move around everywhere. That Tyrant Business Port had already been sealed, and right now, the coastal area only allowed troop carrier s entry and exit, no one knew where these soldiers were going.

"Look! It's the flag of the First Division! Is Azure Dragon... Victory! We have to win! " The people on the street were waving their arms and cheering, and then the sound of leather boots could be heard from another street.

"Sword Drawing Camp!" It is a Sword Drawing Camp formed by our samurai! " Countless Fusang immigrants bowed at a ninety degree angle, while those soldiers raised their heads proudly.

Once the war machine was activated, every screw had to be pushed, every part of the machine was moving. Under the command of the Prime Minister's Manor, every cell in the Chinese race started to burn, the endless power started to push the war machine forward slowly.

The ammunition depot hidden in the mountains was opened, carts after carts of bullets, ammunition and supplies were distributed, continuously approaching more than twenty battle preparation rooms, and everywhere were logistics officers holding lists, waiting to receive their ammunition.

Carts and rickshaws were circling the mountain road like a long line. Bullets, artillery shells, compressed rations, tin cans, emergency medical packages … The assorted items were carefully sorted and then delivered to their destination.

"Bring enough Arms and ammunition, bring enough for three days, bring more bullets, eat less … "Check with each other. Don't leave them out. Hurry up. We need to set off in twenty minutes. The ships in the military port are ready."

Countless of auxiliary force s were preparing to transport the supplies on the transport ship, while the vanguard unit s who were waiting to board the ship were gathered in front of the statues of the water ghost s, toasting and offering their wine.

The water ghost was a totem of the Ryukyu's sailors. When the French ambushed the Ryukyu, if it weren't for the sacrifice of those few Guotou Village s, the situation would have become dire.

After the war ended, Xiao Letian spent a huge sum of money to get the Western Statue Marshal to forge this bronze statue. That was a water ghost who was heavily injured and had to rush out of the ocean waves.

Before his death, water ghost's expression did not contain the slightest hint of fear, only the magnanimity after victory and the natural relief after defeating the enemy. This sculpture had already become a sacred object that had to be sacrificed to pay for the expedition mission.

"Today, I swear in front of the heroic spirit of my ancestors! "I, the soldiers of the Ryukyu Navy, will accept your courage and sacrifice. I will not retreat even in a battle to the death, even if I have to perish together with the enemy …"

"Today, we swear that if we don't defeat our enemies and return victorious, we will either die on the battlefield and reunite with our ancestors' spirits! If you go against this oath, then both humans and gods will renounce you! "

"Cheers …" Countless soldiers raised their heads to drink a bowl of fine wine. Then, they heard a crisp 'pa pa pa' sound as the porcelain bowls were smashed to the ground.

"We're boarding …" The military officer gave the order for the team to board the transport ship and slowly left the port for their destination.

At the same time, in another military port on the east side of Ryukyu Island, the Zhiyuan Warship who was ahead of the world in the 20th century as the trump card of the Chinese people, began to prepare for its departure.

Smoke was already rising from the chimneys, and the pressure from the boilers was gradually increasing. A line of small wagons carried the smokeless white coal from Kailuan and Shanxi into the coal bin. The sailors were extremely busy, like black charcoal.

Squadrons of combat sailors began boarding the ship, and the sounds of coordinated communications between the various units on the ship could be heard. The current Xiang Ying and Xiao Letian were standing on the dock. The two of them were conversing with each other, but from afar, it seemed like the two of them were arguing.

"No, I absolutely don't agree. Prime Minister, this is preposterous!" The Zhiyuan Warship took on the most difficult mission, although it is a Iron-armored battleship with strong defense, the danger is still there, I do not agree for you to board the ship! "

So it turned out that Xiao Letian's goal here was to board the Zhiyuan Warship and join the Sea War. But today, Xiang Ying's temper had risen, and he resisted Xiao Letian's orders righteously with his words.

What a joke, if the Ryukyu had a team of Iron-armored Ship and the Zhiyuan Warship was their flagship, then Xiang Ying didn't even need to ask for the prime minister to board the ship, because this was the safest place.

However, the main mission of this time's Zhiyuan Warship expedition was to lure the enemies and enrage them into splitting up, just like a lonely knight would. This way, the main enemy would believe that the Zhiyuan Warship would not be able to reach the Hidden Treasure Island in time.

This kind of deceptive tactics was very hard to grasp. If you fought too ferociously, the enemy would retreat. If you fought too softly and too falsely, the enemy would also be suspicious.

In such a battle to lure enemies, close range shooting between battleships was often required. Only then would the act become beautiful. The armor of the Zhiyuan Warship was obviously tough enough, wanting to sink far away was probably delusional.

However, even though it was far, it did not mean that the soldiers on board did not die! In close range shooting, the enemy's flowering bomb was very powerful, and the command tower was the main focus of enemy fire.

The fate of the Chinese people lay on the shoulders of the prime minister, and he was the spirit core of the entire Chinese people. Nothing could go wrong for him.

But today, Xiao Letian was also very stubborn. How could he not go up and take a look at this battleship that carried all the feelings of a Chinese. How could he not personally accompany Xiao Letian in battle.

"Xiang Ying! I will be fine, because the Zhiyuan Warship is the first ship of the Chinese Great Navy, and is the first flagship protected by our national destiny. Battleships that arrive by national destiny naturally have ancestors to protect them, I will be fine! "

"What is this nonsense?" Why did the Prime Minister have to keep his mouth shut about the destiny of the gods? I don't care about all that. I am currently the Captain of the Zhiyuan Warship, and only I can rule this floating land. Without my permission, you are not allowed to board the ship … "

Speaking of which, Xiang Ying turned his head and wanted to leave, he was unwilling to waste any more words, but before he could step on the step, Wang Huaiyuan had caught up and pulled him.

"Don't you understand? The Prime Minister wanted to use this as bait. He wanted to personally enrage the enemies … As long as the Prime Minister appears in front of the Russian, those Russian will definitely believe that the Zhiyuan Warship is our trump card, and they will walk towards the trap without any scruples! "

"Whether it is Molière or the commander of the Russian Army, they are all traditional officials. Their consideration of issues is also very conservative, especially the officers who grew up in the Russian environment.

"Therefore, they will naturally believe that Xiao Letian is located in the place where the Chinese have the strongest battle force and the most powerful defense. They will naturally think that the Zhiyuan Warship is our last trump card!"

"Foolish brat, this is psychological warfare! You have to understand the Prime Minister's intentions! "
