Chapter 30 The Wind and Smoke
Shandong Changshan Islands.
Hu Bo waved his hand vigorously, sending off his old comrade Lu Da's departure.
As the winner of the highest medal "Tagtanwula Participation Memorial" and as an old company commander during the Dingbian Army period, as the winner of countless medals, Hu Bo has every reason to be proud. He was one of the several commanders of the 17th Division at that time. His only frustration was that this old revolutionary predecessor can only take fish on this small island.
According to Hu Bo himself, he is now reflecting on the little mistakes he has made and training himself in the storms. Of course, Captain Hu’s experience is indeed worth learning from later generations. In his memoir, he mentioned that after Liu Jingxiao took over Shandong, he took the initiative to work in the most difficult places without fame or profit.
Now he is in the Changshan Islands garrison area. Although it is a bit difficult here, at least he can see the sun every morning and the moon every night... As for other aspects? It's gone!
The sea breeze kept blowing on my face, not even a well, and the water I drank was brought by a small boat every other month. When it was strong winds and heavy rains, I'm sorry! Just wait a few more days, anyway, you won't starve to death...
So Hu Bo is optimistic and looks at the sun and the moon every day. When he has free time, he finds ways to get some seafood. Unfortunately, he can’t eat delicious vegetables. He can still make a cup of tea and take a newspaper to read it every day. However, the newspaper was a month ago. As for tea... it is impossible to make it!
As for Hu Bo’s experience in the past few years, he has also been colorful. Wherever he is most difficult, Liu Jingxiao sent his most trusted leader Hu to the place... Hu Bo finally came up with a profound political philosophy: a person can make political mistakes, but he must not make organizational mistakes.
Of course, I made an organizational mistake. If you have enough power, you can still come back. If you are like Captain Hu Bo... you are ready to retire in a place like Changshan Guard Area in advance...
Changshan Garage Area is a regiment-level unit established by Liu Jingxiao. It is composed of several garrison teams on several islands. Colonel Hu Bo, the commander of the fortress area... It’s a pity that these garage teams are managed by Lu Da’s Shandong Maritime Guard Command in terms of business and funding. Colonel Hu can gloriously be responsible for the hygiene work of several garrison teams.
Therefore, the Changshan Fortress Guard Command is based on the principle of "simplification and streamlining". The entire command is composed of Hu Bo, secretary, deputy commander, chief of staff, and guards. By the way, Colonel Hu is a typical example of a versatile professional and versatile position. He also serves as Bo, secretary, deputy commander, chief of staff, chief of staff, guards and other positions. One of the things that is even more admirable about Colonel Hu is that although he holds so many positions, he is only willing to receive a salary of a second lieutenant.
Of course, the conditions are a little harder and life is a little lonely, but in such strong winds and waves, it is easier to train people's will. He wrote a letter of loyalty to Liu Jingxiao if he has something to do. Recently, he decided to write a love letter to Commander Ding of the Cavalry Command and her sister. If he climbs on this high branch, he might be able to make a fortune. Fortunately today, Colonel Lu Da from the Maritime Guard Command came to see him.
Of course, Colonel Lu Da did not have his revolutionary spirit. After Liu Jingxiao took office in Shandong, he was demoted to the sea to be a naval commander who could not even get a small boat. However, after a few years of operation, the Shandong Navy's face has been completely renewed.
Although due to the obstacles of the Shen family at sea, Taiwan cannot export warships to Shandong and can only rely on the local shipyard to build ships under the guidance of Taiwan, look at the current people...
Lu Da's flagship is the "Qiaoyi", which is actually the "Kaiji-class" steam propeller wooden cruiser of Taiwan. During Lu Da's sonic attack, he finally remembered the information of this warship: the normal displacement is 1,100 tons, equipped with 4 20-pound front-mounted rifled guns, 6 10-pound front-mounted rifled guns, 2 12-pound naval howitzers, wooden hull, unarmored, three masts, a boiler, a 300-horsepower steam engine, a speed of 10-11 knots, and a capacity of 140 people.
Although it seems a little smaller than the Shen family fleet, in the entire northern China, who would dare to use such a new steam propeller wooden cruiser to let Hu Bo be a floor mopping man under Lu Da!
However, Lu Daren is still good. At least he knows to see the old brother. The only dissatisfaction is that the supplies supplied this time have not increased at all.
"Happy" ship. Lu Da looked at his fleet flag and shouted loudly: "Turn left twenty degrees..." Although this is not worth mentioning compared to the giant ships of the Shen family and the Second Fleet of 3,000 or 4,000, but in the entire North China, how can the antiques of the First Fleet and the museum collections of the Northeast Jiang Defense Fleet be compared with the new steam propeller wooden cruise?
What's more, in addition to this 1,100-ton Kuaiji ship, Shandong also has two 690-ton steam propeller wooden cruises imitating Taiwan's "Feing Class". These three ships can almost be said to be invincible in North China.
Although the First Fleet received some retired sailing warships from Xiaodiji's Second Fleet, these sailing wars were not in service for many years, most of which were products from the Republic of China. The Northeast Navy modified some sailing transport ships, and its combat power was greatly improved.
However, although the Shandong Navy is very small, it is a fully steamed navy. The purpose of his initial establishment was to fight against the First Fleet under Chen Yunjie's command and Zhang Buyun's Northeast Navy. Now it can be said that it has completely achieved its goal.
Lu Da thought while looking ahead.
"Report... Two warships were found..."
"Three miles away..."
"It's the first Navy fleet..."
"It's Commander-in-Chief Huang's flagship... Commander-in-Chief Huang blew the flag and said to Commander Lu..."
The flagship of the First Fleet is still the third-level battleship of the "Yang Ye", but this super antique is said to be retired this month. It seems that Commander Huang of the First Fleet is preparing to transport the last cargo and make another profit.
Lu Da politely signaled the warship to greet the First Fleet and asked the fleet to turn away. An officer next to him said, "Commander Lu... won't teach them some lessons?"
Lu Da didn't talk much, just said: "Come with me..."
The officer said, "Yes, they are all in the same journey... This face is to be given, and they are having a hard time now... I think our opponent is probably the one at the estuary of the Yangtze River..."
