Ming Zuo

Chapter 920 New Ship Launched
Although the seaside in Busan is cold and windy, there are still countless people looking forward to it.

Naval battles touch everyone's hearts.

Everyone knows that the outcome of a naval battle will have a huge impact on the overall battle situation.

For this reason, Bai Xiaoqi even transferred a regiment back from the front line. Together with the New Korean Rebel Army, they were stationed in Busan City, ready to deal with the landing operations of the Japanese army after the defeat of the naval battle.

It wasn't until the day before, when the naval fleet conveyed the news of victory, that Busan heaved a sigh of relief.

Today is the day the Navy fleet returns.

Even Zuo Menggeng couldn't sit still anymore, and came to the seaside to meet the brave sailors.

"Minister Zuo is really daring. He dared to go deep into Dongpu alone, and he is not afraid of accidents."

Standing beside Zuo Menggeng, Wang Yun still couldn't get rid of his fear.

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"The Dongying people are the most typical people who are afraid of power and not virtuous. If they don't fight, they must be completely subdued. In my opinion, Zuo Hua has not done enough."

When the people around heard it, their hearts were beating wildly.

The leader turned out to be a militant too.

"The navy is back!"

The bell to welcome the fleet back to port rang through the bay, causing everyone to cheer.

Hundreds of warships lined up, all unfurling the banner of victory, and slowly entered the harbor.

All the sailors stood on the deck with their heads held high, enjoying the cheers and salutes of the people.

They are worth it.

It is precisely because of their heroic fighting and sacrifice that Busan is safe and sound, and the entire Busan defense line does not have to worry about the rear.

Although their clothes are all dirty and their warships are damaged, they still hold their heads proudly.

This victory in the naval battle brought an incomparable transformation to the Xia Kingdom's navy.

It can be said that from now on, the Xia Kingdom's navy will truly have experience in ocean warfare, and it will no longer be a newborn on the ocean.

Zuo Menggeng raised his hands to salute every warship passing by.

Seeing him come to greet him in person, the sailors were extremely honored, waved to him one after another, and everyone's eyes filled with tears.

"Master, our mission was fulfilled, and our army won a complete victory. Not only that, but we also bombarded Nagasaki to convey our intention to negotiate."

Coming to Zuo Menggeng's side, Zuo Hua was very proud.Even in front of everyone, he still called Zuo Menggeng the young master.

He doesn't intend to change it.

Never change.

When the others heard his name, their expressions were unavoidably weird, and at the same time they were very envious.

Don't look at it as just a title, the distance and closeness in it are very obvious.

Others want to call it that, but there is no reason.

Zuo Menggeng personally groomed him, just like when he was at home.

"This time in the Korean War, you not only made the first contribution, but also made great contributions. The whole country should thank you for your dedication."

Zuo Hua and other generals quickly stood at attention and raised their hands in salute.

"For the country and the people, a hundred deaths will not give up!"

"Minister Zuo, in your opinion, will the Dongying people agree to negotiate?"

As the head of administration in Busan, Wang Yun is most concerned about the actions of the decision-makers in Japan.

In the past two years, Xia Guo has made a lot of money just by smuggling goods to Japan.If the market can really be opened up, the benefits will be massive.

Zuo Huahun didn't care.

"It doesn't matter if they agree or not. Anyway, the current situation is in our favor. If they don't agree, it will take a while, and we will ask for an explanation when our navy is free."

Everyone laughed loudly, with a relaxed expression, and didn't think Zuo Hua was talking big.

This battle completely defeated the Japanese navy.

As an island country, once the power at sea is destroyed, it is almost equal to being defenseless.

In particular, the main population gathering areas of Japan are all by the sea. At that time, as long as the navy fires a few shots, the decision-makers of Japan will know how to choose.

"Your Highness, we didn't delay the battle here, did we?"

Zhang Keda was very responsible, and before taking a rest, he became concerned about the situation in North Korea.

Bai Xiaoqi answered for Zuo Menggeng.

"That Jin Zidian is a coward. Now he stops in Daegu and doesn't dare to take a step forward. We have been preparing for so long, but we didn't win a single battle. But I heard that Cui Mingji and Li Shibai are here. I hope they can Have some courage."

Hearing that Busan hadn't fought yet, E Honglue was very regretful.

"If we had known this before, we would have made a few more troubles in Japan."

Zuo Menggeng waved his hand and conveyed a piece of good news to them.

"You came back in time, otherwise, you would have missed the new ship."

As soon as this remark came out, all the navy generals were inexplicably surprised.

"Is the new boat launched?"

Since a few years ago, Xia Guo has already started the imitation work of the Galen ship.As a navy, everyone knows that the combat performance of the Galen ship far exceeds that of the Fuchuan.

It can be said that the whole navy has long been looking forward to the new ship.

Wait, wait, wait for so many years, finally waited for this day.

"There is news from Qingdao that the new ship will be launched soon. Have you ever selected a suitable person to receive the new ship from your navy?"

Facing Zuo Menggeng's inquiry, everyone in the navy had red eyes.

That is a new type of warship!
Who doesn't know its excellent performance?
Who wouldn't want to own a battleship like this?

Only the four giants of the navy, such as Zuo Hua, are still calm.

After all, they are leader-level generals. No matter how good the new ship is, it cannot be controlled by them personally.

But to say the right person...

Zuo Hua thought for a while, and suggested: "Lieutenant Colonel Shang Kexi has made the most contribution to this battle, and he is very skilled in technology and experience, so he can serve as the captain of the new ship."

Hearing his proposal, Zuo Menggeng's face inevitably became strange.

Who would have thought that the famous traitor in history has now become a great hero.

No way, Lushun was not defeated by Houjin, Shang Kexi did not surrender to Houjin, and naturally he did not become the original big traitor.

On the contrary, after he followed Huang Long and others to join him, he got another chance to show off, and was collectively rated as the first meritorious service in this naval battle.

Zuo Menggeng's eccentricity is only a little bit.

After all, history has changed, and many people's life experiences have changed. Of course, there is no way to use the original history to measure.

And he has already read the battle report.

Shang Kexi's performance is not just as simple as being brave, especially his use of the rocket launcher as a bazooka, which has provided inspiration to the entire army.

Zuo Dai has ordered the equipment department to start developing a real rocket launcher.

I believe it won't be long before this new type of weapon will be installed in all armies.

The gratifying rank is lieutenant colonel. With this battle exploits, it is absolutely appropriate to become the captain of a main battleship.
