Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

On the north side of Taiwan Island and the east side of the Gonggu Strait, Zhiyuan Warship was riding the wind and rushing north. On the blue sea, there was a battleship that was covered in ancient steel plates.

Strangely, this era's Taiwan Island was still far from being developed, and America's exploration of the Pacific Ocean was only a superficial taste. The Gonggu Channel was not a golden channel to begin with.

But today, wherever the Zhiyuan Warship could see, he would see all kinds of boats shuttling back and forth.

There were merchant ships flying national flags, as well as the most recent ocean fishing fleets from the Ryukyu. There were even a few small scissor boat shuttling back and forth on the ocean, completely clueless as to their uses.

All of these were Xiao Letian's eyes, eyes, ears, and eyes. These ships transmitted the enemy's every move and the battle in front of them to the Zhiyuan Warship, and they had completely relied on their manpower to create a large net of information and firmly took control of this gigantic ocean.

"Prime Minister!" The latest update came from intelligence ship No. 35. Russia Diamond Branch Fleet had already passed through the Gonggu Strait two and a half hours ago. They were currently rushing towards the north from the west side of the Strait. This is the coordinates from the time of discovery! "

Xiao Letian glanced at the documents, and then threw the coordinates to Xiang Ying, who quickly marked the location of the Russian fleet on the map.

"Prime Minister!" The Ryukyu was in a hurry! Russia crossed over the water at 4: 25 AM this morning. It was expected that the war would start this morning... This is the location of the Russian fleet! "

"Un, mark it!" Xiao Letian held onto a cup of coffee and took a big gulp, after that he let out a huge puff of air.

"Let's go to the cabin to rest. There aren't many things left, you can rest for at least four to five hours …" Cai Bixia advised worriedly from the side.

Xiao Letian shook his head, "I can't sleep! "This bet is a bit too big. To be honest, I can't hide it from you all. Until now, I still have a feeling that this plan is not perfect enough!"

Xiang Ying curled his lips: "This is bullying yourself! Where in the world was there a perfect strategy? "The war is a gamble to begin with. All the classic battles in the history of mankind have some luck factor in them. We have tried our best, so let God take responsibility for the rest!"

"Bullshit!" I say yes, you say no! The Navy is a purely offensive force. What you need to do is to show off your sharp blade, and to have the momentum to go on with your life! To be able to study this kind of intangible destiny theory at such a young age, how could I dare let you command a battleship in the future? "

Xiang Ying stuck out his tongue: "I don't agree with what you said! "I think that in battle, the soldier should have the indomitable spirit that you speak of. He should have calculated everything thoroughly …"

"But on strategic issues, trying to be perfect is a mental illness in itself! You can achieve perfection in tactics, but can you achieve perfection in strategy? "

"You! You brat, you still dare to talk back? "It seems that I really must mention that your uncle has taken care of you …" Xiao Letian pretended to be angry.

Not knowing why, Xiang Ying was not too afraid of Xiao Letian. Maybe it was because he really did have the Western Chu Overlord's genes in his blood, but he naturally had a kind of resistance to Xiao Letian's pressure.

Xiang Ying laughed mischievously as he turned his head to see that Zai Chun was not in the command cabin. The few people in front of him were all the Prime Minister's trusted aides, such as Cai Bixia and Jin Sanshun.

Xiang Ying lowered his voice and said to Xiao Letian: "If my guess is right, after we finish swindling the Russian, you, the Prime Minister, will have to start giving out gifts, right?"

"If Emperor Tongzhi wants to go to Europe, you have to pacify the Qing Dynasty before going! At the very least, I have to ensure that there will not be a fire in the backyard while we're out of the country! "

"And then there is Britain. I think you must have a secret agreement with the British Prime Minister to fight the spoils of war in Shaos. Do you want to give away a part of it? "That's right, if we want to enter the Club, we have to give boss something to eat first. We stepped onto the door with Sha Ao's corpse, but we are still weak among the strong, so you still have to hide, no?"

"What is this? Is this the law of imperfection in big strategies? The biggest taboo in the theory of Wind and Water is taking over the heaven's will. To put it bluntly, you don't even know to share all the benefits! "

"You wouldn't do that! "Hahaha, you definitely won't be that extreme …"

Xiao Letian was so angry that he almost burst out laughing, "Enough, this kind of thing isn't something you should analyze. Do you think that you can step through the door after killing this group of Russian? How can it be so easy to enter! "

Xiang Ying clapped his hands, "That's right! So I'll have to add another fire. What kind of fire? "I think it should be the Franco-Prussian War in the future …"

"After exterminating Expeditionary forces Sha in front of us, we will give the British a huge amount of benefits, even if it's just a bribe, it doesn't matter! These benefits are not lost, at least in exchange for the entry of our new army into Europe... That's right, that's right, we have to make sure that the British won't stop the Zhiyuan Warship and marines from visiting Europe! "

"When we join up with the Prussians and march into Paris, when we signed the agreement as victors in the Versailles... That's when we, the Chinese people, will truly enter the club! "

Xiao Letian's smile froze, and his heart was like a typhoon. Did he really come up with the words Xiang Ying said today? It actually fit his big plan so well. This kid was a genius!

"Think about what you should think about. If you shouldn't think about, then shut up!" Xiao Letian berated him with a cold face: "Can the treasures of a nation be displayed? What's the difference between you and the Beijing? The Hedonist Eight Flag analyzed the political situation. He was much more awesome than you, but what use was that! Do what you should, and don't worry about it! "

Xiang Ying and the others thought that the Prime Minister's strategy, which they had painstakingly deduced over the course of half a year, would receive some praise, but he had never expected that the Prime Minister would actually scold them so harshly.

Xiang Ying, Lin Zhen, Jin Sanshun and the other men did not care much, they went back to their work with their heads covered. Cai Bixia was a woman after all, so the Prime Minister's words made her feel wronged, and her eyes reddened.

"Cai Bixia! You are the communication chief of the Zhiyuan Warship, if you don't organize the telegraph now, what are you pretending for me here? Remember, in this uniform, you are not a woman! "If you want to cry, just cry when you retire …"

Cai Bixia resisted the urge to cry and turned her head to walk out of command cabin's room. Just as she closed the doors to see the cold sea breeze blow against their faces, tears started to roll down his face.

"Wuwuwu …" Whatever we did wrong, we scold! "Why are you so unreasonable …"
