Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

In the 19 th mid-century leaf, before the invention of electric lamps, field warfare was always full of danger and uncertainty, whether it was the navy or the army, both of them were blind. Unless the commander had the courage to fight a purely cold weapon, blind shooting was nothing more than a waste of ammunition.

After an entire day of bombardment, the Naha Harbor was currently in a mess. Three of the ten cannons had been destroyed by the enemy, and the rest were all injured.

Under the dim light of torches and oil lamps, people were rushing to repair the structures. Sand bags had blocked the holes, and now it was too late to cement them. Heavy wooden planks and heavy sandbags had become the main materials for emergency repairs.

The Engineers sprinted through the streets and alleys, inspecting the hidden telegraph line s one by one. The chaotic command system was finally gradually restored.

After a whole day of smoking and smoking, Cai Mao's eyes were now as red as a rabbit's. He smoked his Cuban cigar in large mouthfuls as the four operators memorized the messages beside him nervously.

"I don't care what difficulties you have, but you have to fix the cannons on the Seven Stars Mountain for me … I will give you one night's time to tell this group of American engineers that since you have received three times our commission, you will have to risk your life for me! "

"Has it been repaired with the telegraph line of the North Mountain? "I want the fleet's information, I want the country's information …"

"Where's Liang Kun? "One telegraph station after another will be sent to me to find him. I want his army to guard all the beaches and watch out for enemy attacks …"

Just as he was overwhelmed with anxiety, a sweating messenger came rushing in from outside the fortifications and reported it to the general. Something happened to Guotou Village … The French Army has already landed, and the company led by Chu Zhao and the people's group have already retreated to the North Mountain trench … "

"What?" Cai Mao instantly jumped up, "When did this happen? Why are you only reporting now? "

"It's too late, the battle is just too intense …" After the French levelled the country, Xiang Ying, Miss Cai and the others brought the student soldier to support them. And then, they even made a simple water bomb to sink a French battleship! "

The soldier rolled his eyes at the speed of his words, but he was able to clearly hear the battle situation of the country leader. In the end, the command post fell into a deathly silence, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

What a mess, this battle was too chaotic, the battle situation on Guotou Village was so tense that it could even be written into a play. In the end, Cai Mao punched the table with teary eyes: "What kind of battle is this!"

There were some things he couldn't say because his most beloved little girl was there.

Cai Mao was unable to say anything but it could be said that in the temporary command post, Liang Kun received an update from the country leader on the situation. When he heard that Xiang Ying, Cai Bixia and the others did not go back to university and instead went back to the country head, he became so angry that he smashed his fist on his head.

"Blame me, blame me, blame me …" Men, send two companies from the reserve to support North Mountain … Damn it, how could this group of brats be so good at tormenting? "Old Cai, I've let you down …"

When they heard the latest intelligence brought by the imperial guards, Jin Changsen and Lin Yuanmian's body swayed and almost fainted on the ground. Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen were the flesh and blood of the two of them, if anything happened to them, the two old men probably would not be able to live.

However, no matter how bitter their hearts were, they were unable to say anything. It wasn't just the two of them who were bleeding in the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.

First of all, the thinking of the high ranking officer was still in the middle of the Ancient Era. Although Xiao Letian had been training and brainwashing them non-stop, due to the age and time, his old thinking had still not been washed away.

During the entire battle, Cai Mao and Liang Kun had completely followed the textbook and fought using brute force. When the enemies attack and I defend, our thinking would only stay on the old route of a battlefield battle.

Just from the battle with the Guotou Village, if the defending troops were all new troops that had gone through rigorous training, then if the young and strong exposed their target, perhaps all of the three hundred marines would have died in the nation's leader's hands.

There were too few regular troops. In this war, they were like a cup of water that was sprinkled on the beach, leaving not a single shadow behind. Modern wars were not only about weapons and equipment, they were also about high-quality weapons and weapons. He hated Xiao Letian for being in charge of these weapons for only a year, he hated the fact that there were only a thousand of new army veterans.

The only bright spot was actually the student soldier represented by Xiang Ying. Xiao Letian's ten universities had rendered great service in this war, the courage and vitality of the youngsters were shown clearly, and their cleverness was also reflected in other people's eyes.

Not only could they produce the mines that sank the warships, they could also crack the French military intelligence. They could even call for temporary command of the battlefield. It seemed that everything was as Xiao Letian had said before, "The investment in education, regardless of how little it costs, is not unjustified."

The young Shang Tai had already been watching the battle at the head of the Shouli City for the entire day. Countless officials advised him to return to the palace to rest, but the young king continued to stare at the brightly lit warships at sea.

Although he was the king of the Ryukyu, he did not have the authority to command this battle. He could only watch with cold eyes, like a spectator.

"Prime Minister!" Just how was he going to break out of this predicament? After a bloody war that lasted a day, the Guotou Village was lost. The shore defense cannons were all injured, and the entire Tyrant City was filled with collapsed houses and fire arenas … How many more days can we last? Prime Minister, what should we do? "

At this time, Xiao Letian was unable to answer's question. Although Ryukyu's situation was grim, right now, Xiao Letian's situation was not any less than that of Ryukyu's.

In front of Xiao Letian was the Prime Minister of the most powerful British Empire in the world, the second strongest person in the world after the Queen. Xiao Letian was merely the Prime Minister of an East Asian island nation. The difference between the two of them was just like how the future President of the United States met the Chieftain of Pacific Island.

Even if Xiao Letian was a transmigrator, there was still a huge difference in strength. As long as this Count de Beer was willing, he could make Xiao Letian unable to leave the continental Europe his entire life, and want to return to Asia with just a single word? Then he would have to ask the Great Britain's Royal Navy if he agreed.

What he didn't care about was whether or not it would work. What he meant was that he couldn't lose his face, Count de Beer's face was more important than anything, if it could disgust the two of you, then it would be considered as his victory.

De Bi, who was holding onto a walking stick, stood at the entrance of the garden, looking coldly at Xiao Letian. He just didn't want to enter any further, and the current Xiao Letian was more than ten meters away from him. Xiao Letian was very clear that he was going to welcome him personally. It seemed that the intelligence in Prussia was very accurate, this old man was really aggressive.

Forget it, since you're old, then I'll just respect your age. Xiao Letian put on a smile and walked over, then took off his hat to greet Derby.

"Respected Prime Minister, to be able to invite such an esteemed guest like you is my honor. Time is of the essence, I have only prepared some seafood dishes for you, I hope you do not mind!"

's respectful yet sincere expression eased up a bit. "Oh, although hamburger's seafood can't compare to London's, it can still be eaten, very good …" After she finished speaking, she did not hesitate and started striding towards the dining table.

In terms of diplomatic etiquette, this was a huge disgrace. Even the tall and handsome Nordic waiters wearing snow-white aprons couldn't stand it, and their eyes began to twitch.

"I'll endure, I'll continue to endure …" Xiao Letian secretly encouraged herself, then sat on the other side of the table.

Then, he used his finger to touch the bread crab and beer in front of him. The servant did not dare to hesitate and quickly poured the wine, and then used silver pincers to shatter the crab shell, respectfully placing it on the dining plate.

Xiao Letian's guess was right, Count de Beer was a person who loved seafood very much. Otherwise, his gout disease would not be so serious.

Count de Beer grabbed the fat crabs with one hand and threw the shell away with a shake. He stuffed a large piece of fresh and tender crab meat into his mouth.

The count finished his crab and touched the oyster with his hand. The waiter cut the fresh lemon and squeezed the juice onto the oyster and brought it to the count.

After eating half a dozen of raw oysters, Count de Beer picked up his beer glass and gulped down half a cup of beer. When he burped in contentment, he pointed at the lobsters on the table again, ignoring Xiao Letian's stupefied expression.

"Damn, is this second senior brother reincarnated?" How can it be so edible? " Xiao Letian's heart was in a mess. If this old man was not escorted by the Prussian ceremonial soldier, he might really think of him as a scumbag or swindler.

"F * ck, I'll eat you too if you eat me!" Xiao Letian snapped her fingers at another waiter, then ordered a piece of Deep Sea Salmon and Arctic Shrimp. The waiter immediately helped him with his food.

This meeting had already shocked everyone. The Prussian ceremonial soldier and the Chinese military officials were all looking over from the corner of their eyes, as well as the civil officials from both sides, who were standing not far away from the garden, were also dumbfounded. One of the British secretaries was even more outrageous as he even stuffed caviar into his nose.

Is this still a diplomatic negotiation? Two starved ghost s fighting over food? After all, you're the prime minister, aren't you? Why don't we talk about proper business and eat first? But no one dared to disrupt this strange atmosphere, because no one knew whether it was the thunder or the rain.

However, looking at this state, the probability of thunderbolts appearing was very high.
