The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Extraordinary! Extraordinary! The Chinese Navy defeated Japan and sank dozens of warships, a shameful victory in the Sino-Japanese War!"

"Minister of the Navy Chen Shaokuan came to the battle in person. Tens of thousands of good men bathed in blood and swept the Japanese invaders. The results are useless...!"

Newspapers from all over the country immediately received clear faxed pictures and relatively detailed combat facts from the liaison offices and offices of the GD Group all over the place, and immediately printed them into newspaper sets and sold them outside the red number.At the same time, on the radio stations all over the country, sweet and sweet voices read the manuscript unhurriedly, spreading this exciting and good news everywhere.

No one doubted that Zhu Bin or the task force would cheat, and Chen Shaokuan's nickname of "the most perfect man in the Republic of China" was not for nothing. Whether he was with him or not, at least his reputation was absolutely guaranteed, and There are so many photos to prove it, it's hard not to believe it.

In the report, it didn't say too much about the lineup of the task force, and even a few battleships and aircraft carriers were vague. It only focused on the story of General Chen's strategizing, defeating the strong with the weak, and with his superb skills and fearless determination. The mighty Japanese United Fleet has suffered heavy casualties and achieved numerous victories!

As soon as such news came out, Ri himself was caught off guard!Their military command department has not even received an accurate report from Yamamoto 56, and the Chinese shouted first.

And the representatives of various countries didn't understand at first, why the Japanese themselves suddenly became so docile and reasonable, and they actually invited them to actively intervene in the battle thousands of kilometers away in the ocean.

Suspicions abounded, and the situation was difficult to understand for a while. The German Tautman, who had given up on tormenting, even wanted to resign and return to China, but now he saw a glimmer of opportunity and couldn't help but cheer up again.It's rare that Ri himself is not arrogant anymore, so it must be next.Things will be easier?

The British are still hesitating.One is happy, the Japanese themselves are openly and secretly flirting with the Germans to form an alliance, which will seriously threaten its interests in the Far East.Now that the Chinese have crippled their naval power, they will soon wither half of it. I believe they will be more obedient.The danger becomes less.

But the question is, how did the Chinese do it?Will a rising China liquidate the hatred and contradictions accumulated a hundred years ago?Can it be friendly and cooperative with the British Empire?Thinking of Zhu Bin's unruly temper, British Ambassador Xu Gesen kept shaking his head, it's difficult, very difficult!Against a politician like Jiang Guangtou, he has plenty of wrists, but a stunned young man like Zhu Bin doesn't play cards according to routine.If you don't play the rules of the game, there is really no good way.

There is nothing wrong with Americans, and isolationism accounts for [-]% of the country.It's important to live life behind closed doors.It doesn't matter what the Orientals are like.

also.It will take a long time to confirm the news. The battle is not over yet. We have to wait and see what happens. It's hard to say what the result will be.

And Zhu Bin released the news early, could it be that he is fully sure that he can keep the fruits of victory?Their fleet can be blocked in the Pacific Ocean by the Japanese island chain. Whether they can go back safely is another matter.

Can't guess.

After confirming and approving the news of the victory, Zhu Bin stayed alone in his office halfway up the hillside at Guzhenkou, staring at the busy harbor through the window, without speaking for a long time.Those who didn't know looked from behind and thought it was a statue.

After Cao Han came in, he waited for him in silence for a while, and finally couldn't help coughing to break the silence, and sighed a long time: "Cough! Why are you so reluctant to let go? Minister Chen's behavior is certainly selfish. In it, it’s actually expressing your attitude, so that you can rest assured? Don’t think too much, when you let go, you have to let go!”

Chen Shaokuan didn't completely follow the predetermined plan, but after the fleet entered the ocean, he began to deliberately create friction and provoke a battle, and the process of the battle was also different from the one given by the staff department, taking too many risks!

In the original idea, one is to use battleships to suddenly dispatch to break the balance of power and disrupt the situation, so that Japan has to deal with it passively, and then deliberately create a situation that can be exploited to attract the Japanese navy to serve as training partners for the Xinnen battleships and naval soldiers.

This approach is very risky, but Zhu Bin can afford it and is not afraid of casualties. The most effective way is to strengthen the navy through the fire of war.But the premise is that this process must be controlled to a certain degree, not to go too far, and not to take all the belongings to take risks.

However, the plan was changed by Chen Shaokuan. When he deliberately changed the formation on the spot, Zhu Bin knew that it was not good, so he quickly pulled out the four warships that had not yet passed the full sea trial, and almost emptied the power of the housekeeper. Said, except for the Second Squadron, which is guarding the base in the South China Sea, the naval forces are exhausted!

The long wait finally won the initial victory, but Zhu Bin was not happy at all. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!He also wanted to wipe out the Japanese navy, but he had to wait until his fleet was fully formed, and it would be safe and sound, so it was not good to take risks like this!

Cao Han was well versed in people and the world, so he basically guessed about Chen Shaokuan's intentions, so he took the initiative to explain to him, fearing that there would be trouble between Zhu Bin and him.These days, the two of them are few trusted allies.

Hearing what Lao Cao said, Zhu Bin turned his head slowly, blinking his eyes towards the sky, his expression couldn't be described clearly, but he was obviously a little disappointed, he grabbed his short hair like a steel needle and clicked: " Do you think I would argue with him? It's nothing. I'm disappointed. Officer Chen's actions are tantamount to cutting off his own way of escape. Whether it's with me or the government, he has nothing to play with. .Old Jiang will definitely not tolerate his great achievements, and it is impossible for our team to tolerate nonsense that has no regard for the overall situation...I still count on him to help for a few more years. I am afraid that this encounter will be ruined!"

"Ah?! This..." Cao Han didn't expect Zhu Bin to have such an attitude at all. He frowned and rolled his goatee vigorously. His eyes rolled around a dozen times, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't help admiring him. Comrade Zhu Hanchen's heart, It is indeed unusually wide.

In his old man's concept, it is not advisable to do something like Chief Chen's "willing to accept the order of the emperor outside" because first of all, Bifei is the core member of the team and has a win-win relationship with Zhu Bin. Its status, status, ability and talent make it difficult to be a subordinate. The Minister of the Navy of a dignified country, is it possible for you to be a young man as a pawn?He, Chen Shaokuan, was happy, but the people were not.It's about decency up and down.

And based on the close relationship between the two parties for many years, it is not impossible for Comrade Chen to borrow the fleet to go out to taste his wish, but it is better to make it clear in advance.

The second is Zhu Bin's long-term interests.The two of them are in the court, and if they don’t resign themselves, they can do things very cheaply; Give full play to their respective strengths and cooperate seamlessly.

But once Chen Shaokuan did this, he couldn't do this one.After killing so many warships in the Japanese Navy, there was only one, let's go to war!At this critical juncture, the crime of undeclared war will kill people!Although he has reached the pinnacle of his life's glory, his future career has come to an end.If he is forced to resign as the Minister of the Navy, Zhu Bin will lose a lot of help, and there will be many obstacles in his work in the future. Unless he raises the banner to rebel, there will be a lot of trouble.

What about the task force?I'm afraid it will be difficult to let him go out to lead the army again. It is a good thing to win a battle, but the combat strategy that can be carried out steadily is extremely difficult and dangerous, which will attract people's hatred.

Even if Zhu Bin can keep his promise and no one objects, for the sake of the overall situation, he has to be fair and take care of the big guy's mood, right?

Cao Han thought that Zhu Bin was disappointed or even resentful, but unexpectedly this guy felt it was a pity.Sure enough, the brains of extraordinary people are different, it's hard to guess!

But in this way, at least Chen Shaokuan will not have any troubles, and it is a good thing that they can still cooperate with each other.

Cao Han's heart was cleared of a cloud of gloom, his face relaxed, and he nodded leisurely: "In this way, it is indeed a pity. But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to sigh. We should think about the aftermath. Well, since you Agreeing to send out the battle report in advance, is it necessary to release the remnants of the Japanese navy?"

Zhu Bin curled his mouth: "How is that possible! Those bastards challenged me to the bottom line again and again, and if I don't deal with them, they will make me angry! I have beaten them all, so I might as well make it harder! The reason why I sent the battle report in advance, It is also necessary to create a favorable atmosphere of public opinion. The Ministry of Intelligence has learned that the little devils are looking for other countries to intervene in mediation, and if they can’t wait for them to unify their voices before speaking, they will be passive.”

Cao Han deeply believed that it was much better to seize the mouthpiece of public opinion and create a favorable situation for himself than to be pushed along step by step.In this regard, Zhu Bin has always done a good job, and he can also test the attitude of other aspects in advance. Now the world situation is becoming more and more treacherous, and the powder keg of war may be ignited at any time, so we have to guard against it!

After thinking about it, he began to frown again: "I'm afraid that the trouble will not be small. The attack on the ocean-going freighter is obviously planted, and it cannot be deceived. It must be explained clearly. It is time for the three-year share negotiation. Whether it will cause the shareholders of the big powers to take advantage of the fire, and affect whether your global layout can be carried out smoothly are all problems!"

"See tricks." Zhu Bin's brain is not that good, and he can't handle it if it's too complicated. He's used to using force to break tricks. When he's in a hurry, he just plays rough. Anyway, in terms of force value, he's really not afraid who.

After a short moment of silence, Zhu Bin scratched his scalp a little anxiously, and said with a snort, "No. When Lao Chen comes back, I have to ask him what he thinks. No matter what, I feel that there is something else going on here."
