C1229 Battles to board ships

Xiao Letian had spent a lot of effort just to get the Expeditionary forces to fall into his trap. In order to make up for the 10% chance of failure, he had gambled with everything he had.

On one hand, he was afraid that there would be some mishap in the Prime Minister's plans, and on the other hand, he was afraid that all the preparations that the Prime Minister had made would be for naught. With such a huge scheme, it was enough to hold all the power in Asia.

If the war were to drag on, then the variable would be big. When both sides were exhausted and drained of blood, would there be a third party sending troops to interfere?

It was possible, at least, that the British would have the impulse to do so.

Just as Xiang Ying was hesitating, a guard suddenly ran over from afar. "Reporting to the Prime Minister! The Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom requested to enter the military port, he said to follow the Prime Minister and fight together … "

Hm? Everyone present was shocked. Why was Zai Chun here? This was a war that belonged to the Chinese. It was fine for him to just be a spectator.

Xiao Letian nodded his head and signaled for Zai Chun to enter the port, then Xiang Ying walked over with a smirk on his face, "Prime minister, I have thought of an even better bait, how about you stay in the base camp and allow our Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom to board the ship?"

"Damn, what are you thinking?" Xiao Letian glared at him as if he was mad, "Let me tell you, keep your thoughts to yourself. Zai Chun's situation is related to the entire Asia, his safety is actually more important than mine …"

The remaining words were impossible to say, because Zai Chun had already ran over quickly, wearing his military uniform, and saluted with a "pa" sound. He did not look like a weak chicken in the Forbidden City any longer, he was clearly a powerful hero.

"Soldier Ai Xinjueluozaichun, report to the Prime Minister, request to join the battle formation!"

"Relax... What are you doing? "This is a war between the Chinese and the Russian, it has nothing to do with you. You should stay in the Shouli City well, if you have nothing else to do, you should just go read books …"

Zai Chun shook his head: "Master, you don't have to say anymore, I want to see this battle with my own eyes, I want to see the defeat of Russian with my own eyes! Don't say that it has nothing to do with me, but White Mountains and Black Water is the land of our Manchu for generations to come. I am unwilling to just throw it in the hands of the Russian like that … "

"Those people from the Beijing are willing to be f * cking grandchildren, I'm not willing!"

Without waiting for Xiao Letian to speak, Xiang Ying smiled and said, "His Majesty is really ambitious, he is much stronger than the Eight Flags I know. The eight banner men that I saw when I was young, even though they carried the title of generals, they could only ride Insolent Horses and docile mules. They are just a bunch of trash!"

"No matter what the Prime Minister says, at least my Zhiyuan Warship welcomes you!"

Xiao Letian glared at him before pulling Zai Chun to the side. The master and disciple duo started to bicker, Wang Huaiyuan and Xiang Ying went to the side to wait.

"Director Wang! Do you think the Prime Minister will let His Majesty board the ship? "I guess he should be allowed to board the ship. His Majesty might look young, but his temper is really bad …"

Wang Huaiyuan looked at the two people who were arguing not far away and said indifferently, "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is related to the Prime Minister's future strategy. I think the Prime Minister has his own plans. However, you have to be mentally prepared, you just invited His Majesty to board the ship, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to refuse the Prime Minister's request! "

Xiang Ying smiled, "I don't care about that. Our Navy has the rules of the Navy, the moment we board the ship, our captain will be the biggest commander. Everyone else must listen to me … The Prime Minister only has the power to expel me, but he doesn't have the power to interfere with my command.

"In the rough seas, outsiders, don't even think about leading us!"

Wang Huaiyuan looked at Xiang Ying for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he laughed: "You are completely different from before, I heard from Dragon Lord that when you were expelled from the academy, you were a crying Xiang Jia Village, why have you become so powerful now?"

"But this is also good. The navy will always be the offensive force. If you don't have a bit of dominance, won't you become a turtle that will hide in its shell!?"

At this time, Xiao Letian had already stopped his argument with Zai Chun. He walked in front of Xiang Ying and waved for the surrounding people to withdraw, "Earlier, Zai Chun and I have already discussed this, we both decided to board the ship at the same time."

"Ah?" "Prime minister, your life is in chaos right now, I definitely don't agree …"

Without waiting for Xiang Ying to finish speaking, Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop him, "Listen to me, the next thing I'm going to tell you is the highest secret information, you have to shatter it into your stomach …"

"Today is April 1, 1869. Do you know what will happen next year in 1870? To tell you the truth, the European ISI has already received secret notification from Prime Minister Bismark, and next year, 1870 will be the critical period for Prussia to make a move against the French! "

"Child, listen to me, we really don't have time, we need to finish Russian quickly, and then Zai Chun and I will immediately begin our mission to Europe. We have to be present at the Franco-Prussian war, and this is an important war that will change the entire world's situation, if we don't personally participate, we won't be able to profit from it!"

Xiao Letian secretly looked left and right, then changed his expression to a pleading expression: "Child, I know the navy has its own rules, I know I can't force you, I'm only begging you. On one hand, we need to complete our final plan of invading the enemy, and on the other hand, Zai Chun and I need to personally experience the charm of the great ocean war … "

"Why don't we make a deal and let us feel the power of the Iron-armored Ship? The more you fight, the more funds I will give you for the navy in the future! In the long run, you need to learn how to use strategic eyes to look at the problem. Don't always make yourself look like a normal Captain! "

On one hand, it was difficult for the soft knife to resist, and on the other hand, it was the top secret information that made him moved.

The situation in Europe was affecting the future of the world. If he didn't take the right step now, it would be a smooth sailing for the next ten years. The Prime Minister had stepped in when the Poo War was attacked, and in the end, he had exchanged it for the deep cooperation between Prussia and the Ryukyu.

Otherwise, with Asia's industrial level, how could they expect to create such a huge steel beast?

"Ai …" I have another condition to get on the ship! The Zhiyuan Warship must participate in this trip to Europe. Believe me, you will definitely need the powerful Zhiyuan Warship in Europe! "

Xiao Letian patted Xiang Ying's shoulder and laughed, "It's a deal, anyway, after this war, the secrets of the Zhiyuan Warship will be revealed to the world and all the parameters will be exposed, there's no need to hide it anymore … But you must remember, you must be careful during battles. If you are severely injured and need a great repair, I will not wait for you! "

Xiang Ying smiled and saluted, "Don't worry, I have personally experienced how thick our Zhiyuan Warship's skin is, I will not disappoint you!"
