Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

It can be said to be very advanced.”

I have to say that Ryan worked very hard on promotion. Of course, all the professionalism and design concepts he talked about were just to make more money.

Shen Hao said: "Well, Minister Ryan, I want this Nevada super-dreadnought battleship. Name your price."

Ryan said: "The cost of building the British standard 1-ton super-dreadnought battleship Elizabeth is 27500 million pounds:

The cost of building a German battleship: such as the King class, each ship cost about 4500 million gold marks (worth about 225 million pounds).

The standard displacement of our Nevada is also 27500 tons, and its design is more advanced and reasonable.

It’s still the latest model.

The cost is also 240 million pounds. If President Shen wants it, we can sell it at the best price.

It was sold for 300 million pounds, which is 1200 million U.S. dollars or 2880 million oceans.

Pounds, dollars, and silver are all acceptable.”

The stuff is really good, and the price is not cheap.

Shen Hao said: "Okay, no problem, I'll pay you in US dollars, 10% first, and when the Nevada battleship arrives, I'll pay the balance."

Hearing this, Ryan was stunned and asked in surprise: "President Shen, do you mean to pay the full amount?"

Shen Hao nodded and said, "Didn't I express it clearly enough?"

Ryan was shocked and found it unbelievable. He never expected that Shen Hao was so rich.

·· ······Request flowers· ··

Originally, Ryan thought that Shen Hao had taken out a loan to buy the Nevada battleship, just like before.

I didn't expect that this time I had to pay the full amount, it's so inhumane.

Ryan gave a thumbs up and said, "President Shen is so generous. Deal!"

Shen Hao said: "Happy cooperation"

Then the two parties signed a business contract.

Shen Hao has now become the largest buyer in the United States.

First there were four dreadnought-class battleships, ten submarines, as well as airplanes and machines and equipment from various aircraft manufacturing plants.

Now, they have purchased another super-dreadnought battleship, the USS Nevada. They are really rich.

It adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Shen Hao felt a little painful after spending nearly 30 million yuan in one go.

0 ...... ...

Only then did I realize that I didn’t have enough money to spend.

So, it’s better to work hard to make money.

Thinking of this, Shen Hao called Hu Xueli.

"Where is Yu Manli now?

I’ve been back for almost ten days, and I haven’t seen anyone.”

Hu Xueli rolled her eyes at Shen Hao, then sat in his arms and said coquettishly, "Master is really partial.

Sure enough, all men are the same.

I only see the new people laughing, but I don’t see the old people crying.”

Shen Hao patted her hips and said, "Are you looking for trouble? How about I make you smile tonight?"

Hu Xueli shouted: "Okay, who is afraid of who?"

"Oh, that's not easy. You dare to challenge me. Who gave you the courage?" Shen Hao said in surprise.

"Master, I'm just kidding. How can I be your opponent alone? I can't bear it." Hu Xueli hugged Shen Hao's neck and kissed him, smiling.

“Well, that’s good to know.

"What about Yu Manli?" Shen Hao asked;

"Manli, she went out to shoot with Miss Hong and Sister Shuzhen, and she hasn't come back in more than ten days," Hu Xueli said.

At this moment, the guard suddenly said: "Report, urgent call from the President"

Shen Hao was stunned and said: "Read"

"Yes, President."

"Chongqing garrison commander Zhang Yi called: President Yuan suddenly dismissed Sichuan General (Governor) Hu Jingyi and appointed Chen Xi as Sichuan Military Affairs Coordinator.

Now Chen Huan leads his troops into Sichuan to support the battle.

Hu Jingyi was transferred to Beijing yesterday.

Now Chen Xi's troops are surrounding Chongqing. Please give us instructions, President, whether to fight or retreat." Ding.

449. Chen Huan surrenders and Sichuan is conquered

"Chongqing garrison commander Zhang Yi called: President Yuan suddenly dismissed Sichuan General (Governor) Hu Jingyi and appointed Chen Xi as Sichuan Military Affairs Coordinator.

Now Chen Huan leads his troops into Sichuan to support the battle.

Hu Jingyi was transferred to Beijing yesterday.

Now Chen Xi's troops are surrounding Chongqing. Please give us instructions, President, whether to fight or retreat."

Hu Jingyi was removed from office and transferred to the capital. Chen Yi (Yi) was appointed as the military affairs director.

Shen Hao frowned. It was obvious that Yuan Shikai let Chen Xi manage Sichuan's military affairs in order to maintain Sichuan's rule.

After all, Hu Jingyi was not a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang faction.

But you surrounded Chongqing with your troops, which is not giving me face.

However, Chen Xi did not seem to support Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne.

Especially after Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, Chen Xi declared independence in Sichuan, which dealt a fatal blow to Yuan Shikai.

However, who doesn’t know that Zhang Yi, the garrison commander of Chongqing, is my, Shen Hao’s, man?

Shen Hao "093" said coldly: "Send a telegram to Chen Xi immediately and ask him what he means. Do you want to go to war with me?"

"Yes, President."

Soon, Chen Xi in Sichuan received Shen Hao's telegram.

"War or peace?"

The telegram contained only four words, but they were extremely sharp, piercing his heart like an arrow.

It made his scalp tingle.

Shen Hao destroyed two Japanese divisions in Wanwan, which was a shot in the arm for warlords across the country, and many people admired him.

He was also afraid of Shen Hao's strength.

They all knew how powerful Japan was, yet they were now so vulnerable in front of Shen Hao's army.

Now, Shen Hao has destroyed two Japanese fleets in the Wanwan Strait, which shocked the whole country.

Chen Xi was also extremely shocked, and felt very relieved.

Therefore, he didn't dare to provoke Shen Hao head-on.

But it was Yuan Shikai's idea to take over Sichuan.

Originally, Yuan Shikai intended to take over Chongqing directly.

But Chen Xi also knew that Chongqing's garrison commander Zhang Yi was Shen Hao's man, so he did not dare to attack rashly.

Moreover, Chen Xi did not dare to attack, mainly because although Zhang Yi had only 10,000 men, they were well-equipped.

All infantrymen were equipped with Mauser rifles, and were fully equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, mortars, 75mm mountain cannons, and field cannons.

Looking at their own equipment, only less than a thousand people had Mauser rifles, and the rest had Hanyang-made ones, which were rubbish.

There were only two heavy machine guns and two 75mm mountain cannons, so they were powerless to attack Chongqing.

In this era, what matters is no longer the number of people, but firepower.

Chen Xi is still self-aware of this.

He was previously an aide to Vice President Li Yuanhong, and was spotted by Yuan Datou and became Yuan Datou's aide.

Therefore, instead of starting a fight, they chose to surround the opponent and let them attack Shen Hao at the same time.

Fortunately, he did not attack. If he had attacked, he would have provoked Shen Hao.

Chen Xi's scalp tingled when he thought of the strength of Shen Hao's navy and army.

I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him at all.

"General, what should we do now?" a deputy general asked cautiously;

Hearing this, everyone in the battalion turned their eyes to Chen Xi.

They don't want to fight, they are not on the same level at all.

It's not worth it to beat Zhang Yi and offend Shen Hao.

Shen Hao's victory over the Japanese invaders on the Taiwan battlefield boosted the morale of the entire Chinese people.

And because of these two battles, Shen Hao's reputation reached an unprecedented height.

In the hearts of many soldiers, they all admire Shen Hao.

Not only that, people from all walks of life are looking forward to Shen Hao.

It can be said that Shen Hao’s current reputation has long surpassed that of the Tongmenghui and Yuan Shikai.

In fact, Chen Xi was certain that as long as Shen Hao raised his arm, at least half of the people would support him.

Chen Xi paced back and forth in the battalion room, feeling anxious.

You can't hit it, and it's difficult to let it go.

Chen Xi asked: "What do you think we should do?"

"General, you might as well surrender. Anyway, we don't like Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne."

"I second the motion. We don't want to see anyone declare himself emperor either."

"Yes, Yuan Shikai is on the decline, and people's hearts have long been dispersed. Why not make plans early?"

"General, President Shen is a very good backer.

My Sichuan Army does not want to fight our own people, but I have thought about fighting the Japanese for a long time.

Following Yuan Shikai is so frustrating. I want to go to Taiwan and fight the Japanese now."

“I have the same idea.”

It seemed that everyone was no longer afraid of talking out loud, and they talked to each other one after another, not taking Chen Xi seriously at all.

Chen Xi frowned. He was Yuan Shikai's aide. How could you say this in front of me?

But Chen Xi also felt that what everyone said was right...

That makes perfect sense.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi hesitated and said, "Since everyone has similar ideas, let's do this. Send a telegram to President Shen and tell him that we are willing to surrender.

Raise your hands if you agree."

brush!brush!

Everyone raised their hands without any hesitation.

If you can't win but still fight, aren't you seeking death?

Besides, I don’t want to fight with Shen Hao.

Hearing this, Chen Xi said: "Okay, in that case, who will go and talk to Chongqing garrison commander Zhang Yi and tell us what we think?"

"General, I'm going."

"Okay, Huang Song, you go."
