The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 185 Shen Honglie's Troubles

In the island city government, the mayor and commander of the third fleet, Shen Honglie, stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, but feeling full of discomfort in his heart.

Since knowing that Zhu Bin will bring the so-called "Navy Task Force" which is still an empty shell to station in Shandong, he has managed a powerful military force under his nose. As the commander of the third fleet and the mayor of Daocheng, Shen Honglie I know, don't even think about stopping the day in the future.

For more than a year, he has been paying more attention to Zhu Bin's various styles. Whoever let this guy make a move got two powerful warships, and then plunged into the Ministry of the Navy and tossed so many things. If you're not a fool, you can guess that this guy is definitely going to mess things up in the Navy.

At the beginning, Shen Honglie was still worried that after the national government had a huge ship, it would be used to attack them who listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.After all, their so-called Third Fleet was originally the direct line of Zhang Zuolin of the Northeast Navy. Even though the Northeast Army was beaten back into the pass on September [-]th, its strength was still there.

And he, the commander of the Northeast Navy, saw early on that things were not good, so he swallowed up the fleet after several rounds of preparations. He justifiably became the mayor, and grasped the military and political power, which can be described as infinite glory!

He himself does not care about the common people, but he is dedicated to being a good official. Since the publication of the "Qingdao City Implementation Plan" last year, many measures have focused on the national economy and the people's livelihood, and have been praised by the 20 local citizens. He also felt he was doing the right thing. <Tian First Fleet Captain Ling Xiao, Captain Haiqi Fang Nianzu, and several other captains Liu Tianfu, Wu Zhaolin and others conspired to kill him and seize power. .After all, they are all classmates who stayed in Japan, and they have gotten along with each other for many years. Isn't it too unfriendly to do this for the sake of power and position?

He was rescued by his subordinates, but in the end, these people's goals were not pure. They relied on themselves as the heroes of the rescue, and began to demand officials and power, which annoyed him, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that the whole team was distracted, there was nothing they could do. Clean it up, the commander of the fleet is no fun at all.

Under such circumstances, even if troops from the south come to attack him, Shen Honglie feels that he may not be able to resist, but the government treats the two giant ships as treasures and parks them in the military port all day long, for fear of being sunk by the Japanese. It is reluctant to build a brand new powerful navy based on these two ships.

So after a period of turmoil, the Third Fleet continued to live comfortably.In the anti-smuggling campaign at the end of last year, Zhu Bin sank the "Ball Mill" that was running rampant in and out of Qingdao Port all day long with a bunch of freighters, which surprised him!Is it really okay to do this?

Others don't know, but Zhu Bin has been fine anyway, causing trouble for Ri himself time and time again, living a nourishing life all the time.

But Shen Honglie was depressed, the global defense company justifiably carried out large-scale construction projects at the mouth of the ancient town, and the size of the port area it drew out was larger than Japan's own Sasebo and Wugang!Not to mention a dozen freighters, dozens of warships can't fill a corner!Is this Nima still a company's commercial port? !

He began to worry about whether there was something tricky here, but immediately after in North China, Zhu Bin caused a world-shattering battle, almost wiped out the most powerful sixth division of the Japanese army, Shen Honglie was completely shocked up!Under my nose, a fierce tiger got in!

His ominous premonition was soon fulfilled, and the government ordered the task force to open up a new port, but it happened to be at the entrance of Guzhen!

Shen Honglie suddenly realized, no wonder they had encircled such a large area from the beginning, and the co-author had already made up their minds!It's ridiculous that I and Han Fuju thought that I could continue to play both ways, but I didn't know that Lao Jiang's move was such a powerful chess piece!Zhu Bin is simply that unscrupulous super ferocious beast that runs wild in the mountains and forests. Such a guy is used to rampage and has such ability.

"Hi! This Zhu Hanchen, you said that you should stay in Shanghai and be your rich man. Wouldn't it be nice to be the director of your equipment? Why do you have to come to Shandong to embarrass me?!"

Shen Honglie's mind was churning like boiling water, and he was so upset that he couldn't help but punched the window, "Kala!" The glass shattered and scattered all over the floor.

The guard rushed in to see the situation when he heard the movement, and was driven out by Shen Honglie with a wave of his hand. Not long after, Xie Gangzhe, the chief of staff, opened the door and came in. Seeing him still standing in the middle of the glass with a gloomy expression on his face, he coughed lightly and persuaded: "Commander, But are you worried about the matter of Zhu Hanchen?"

Shen Honglie turned around, sat down behind the desk, patted his forehead and sighed: "Isn't it just for him!"

Xie Gangzhe also felt a great headache, nodded deeply and said: "It's really tricky. Even if this person is not targeting us, just look at how he confronts Ri himself, sooner or later a conflict will break out here. In the middle, it’s not easy to turn around.”

Xie Gangzhe didn't think too much about Zhu Bin's scrambling for territory. He himself didn't have that much desire for local power. He only liked the Third Fleet, and Zhu Bin probably didn't like their broken ships. They even had 2 tons. Class battleships and aircraft carriers are given away casually, so why care about these old and dilapidated gunboats!In terms of armament, the air force alone can easily kill them.

As soon as he said this, Shen Honglie got even more headaches. Zhu Bin is a fierce and desperate guy. Ri himself will not let it go after suffering such a big loss. Once he is stationed at the entrance of Guzhen, he will find trouble. Can you watch the fun by yourself?This peninsula must be smashed to pieces!

"Come on! Let's take one step at a time! I just hope that Zhu Hanchen is more reasonable and doesn't embarrass us too much!"

Unknowingly, Shen Honglie put himself in the position of the weak.Subconsciously, he felt that such a rich guy as Zhu Bin, who even dared to offend brothers Wang Zhaoming, He Yingqin, and Chen Lifu, and a madman who seemed to be backed by Lao Jiang and Chen Shaokuan, was not something he could compete with.

Xie Gangzhe frowned slightly at his decadent appearance, but didn't say much, and went out to arrange for people to prepare for the reception.

Now Zhu Bin is on Ri's own kill list, at the top of the list. Qingdao is Ri's lair, so he has to be careful, don't make a problem here, he will be speechless when the time comes!

Zhu Bin came faster than they expected. The seaplane he took landed directly at the military port. Chief of Staff Xie Gangzhe came to greet him on behalf of the commander and the mayor. Seeing that he only brought an entourage of less than ten people, he felt incredible. Could it be Doesn't this guy know that he may be assassinated by a poor and crazy person at any time?

Not to mention anything else, the tens of millions of dollars in rewards on these ships is enough for a captain to shoot him to death!This reward is unparalleled in the world!

It's just that Chief of Staff Xie just thought about it that way. Zhu Bin's whereabouts are secretive, and the exact arrival time and whereabouts are notified by a temporary letter. The timing is extremely accurate, unless he and Commander Shen are betrayed. Otherwise, Ri himself would never have time to prepare, let alone think of him showing up in this way.

Hu Yibo, chief of staff of the Special Forces, was an old acquaintance with him. He greeted him with a smile, and introduced the identities of both parties briefly. We have helped a lot with our work, and we were too busy with military affairs to come to thank you in person, so it is a great honor to meet you today!"

People in sedan chairs carry people, and in terms of strength and status, Chief of Staff Xie is now not only a nominally higher military rank than Zhu Bin, but also older age is an advantage, and the others are not worth mentioning.

Hurry to return the greeting: "Commander Zhu, you are welcome! It is an honor for our Third Fleet that you can come to Qingdao as a guest. Xie expresses welcome on behalf of Commander Shen and all the brothers! This is not a place to talk, please move."

Leading the way in front, under the escort of heavy soldiers, all the people left the military port wharf in a mighty way, and drove directly to the city center.

Ordinarily, this kind of meeting with asymmetrical identities is more appropriate in private, otherwise Shen Honglie would be in front of the admiral, fleet commander, mayor, and his identities are well-balanced, and he has a lot of vassals!Zhu Bin is nothing, the rank is no more than a lieutenant colonel, the colonel has not given him a real award for a long time, the men are only one regiment, the ships are only three or two, the age is only 25 or [-], and he is not from a wealthy family, so he is really not qualified to let him go Commander Shen received him.

But things cannot be seen on the surface. In terms of influence and strength, Shen Honglie is not arrogant enough to be stronger than Zhu Bin. He knows very well that this young fierce general will sooner or later build a powerful fleet to compete with them old guys. There is no harm in making it look better in the face of many people.

So after several considerations, he decided to use the mayor's status to discuss the matter, assuming that Zhu Bin was a big boss who came to discuss business.

Zhu Bin also took this into consideration. He only wore casual clothes tailored to his needs, and his entourage were also casual clothes.

Watching Zhu Bin and his team enter the compound from the window from afar, Shen Honglie waited for a while, then went down to the living room, looked at Zhu Bin sitting on the sofa at the door, and was immediately amazed by his big horse golden knife posture. My heart was shocked, no matter how I looked at it, this guy seemed to be in my own home, and I didn't feel restrained at all!

Concentrated, Shen Honglie went in with a reserved smile, Zhu Bin got up very politely, greeted each other politely, and after sitting down, there was a burst of irrelevant conversation, the tea was changed twice, and the topic began.

Shen Honglie said: "I heard that the task force is going to be stationed in Shandong to be our neighbor, and the Third Fleet is very welcome! Over the years, every time our ships are repaired, we have to go to Dalian to find Ri himself, which is quite inconvenient. The shipyard built by your ministry has saved the boss a lot of trouble."

So far, there is no shipyard in North China that can repair warships. The Third Fleet is the enemy of Japan itself, but at the same time, it needs help from the other side to build ships. .

In the initial planning of the Guzhenkou base, there was a large dock that could repair ships below 1 tons at the beginning, and those that had been built in half a year were almost ready for use.

Zhu Bin said: "The Third Fleet doesn't dislike our poor workmanship, and is willing to come to help with business. You are welcome! The price is easy to talk about, but I'm afraid that the brothers in your department will have a pimple in their hearts and won't show you face!"

It sounds like a sale, but what is actually discussed is the behind-the-scenes issues --- are you here to grab the site?We must come, are you not happy?Make a mark!

Shen Honglie said with a hearty smile: "In any case, we are all Chinese, we must first be consistent with the outside world! If there is a good thing, it is natural to take care of our own people, so there is no reason to be unhappy. I just don't know what to do with Commander Zhu's task force. To what extent?"

After finishing speaking, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and his gaze was fixed on Zhu Bin like a falcon.It's time for a showdown!
