But half an hour later, he was so angry that he jumped up again: "How could it be... more than 40,000 people were eating? Even a little Caozhou City could not take it down..."

The cadres below didn't dare to speak, and it took a long time to say: "It is precisely because there are more than 40,000 people that they have to withdraw..."

Sun Jinchen led his troops to defend Caozhou. The result of the Shaanxi army's repeated attacks was that Sun's army had the possibility of collapse at any time, and could only recruit troops on the spot to replenish troops. After a few battles, half of his troops were temporary soldiers.

However, the Shaanxi Army suffered greater casualties, and they suddenly suffered heavy troops under the strong city. The morale was greatly reduced. After seven or eight days of fighting, the siege became a chore. At this time, a reinforcement regiment of reinforcements suddenly emerged from the flanks of the Shaanxi Army. Not only did they greatly defeat the Shaanxi Army's momentum, but they also took advantage of the opportunity to rush into Caozhou to join forces.

As a result, there were six or seven thousand defenders in Caozhou City, carrying a considerable number of artillery. The Shaanxi army was about to eat, but they did not dare to recruit them on the spot in front of the enemy, so they could only shrink backwards.

However, what made Sun Zhonglin even more annoyed was that the other two armies were in the same situation. Caozhou also saw the city wall at least, but there was still 108,000 miles away from the original target.

However, when Yue Zhonglin thought of his victory over the 17th Division at Ma Muji, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered: "Order the entire army to suppress it, and orders all counties to requisition some military rations to send to the front line..."

Everyone complained. Now is the time to avoid the resignation of food. Where can I get food? However, since the governor issued an order, he must dig out the food.

Sea. Stock Exchange.

When he heard the news that Liu Jun was retreating at Ma Muji, the securities varieties related to Henan suddenly rose sharply and pointed out that they jumped wildly, while Shandong's stocks fell more than once.

Xu Zhen sat in the client seat with harmless smiles, greeted all the gentlemen and ladies one by one in a large client seat.

At this moment, news came again that the Shaanxi army had withdrawn from the siege of Caozhou. For a moment, the index began to take the speed car again. A few guys had just gone to the toilet but found that they had been forced to close their positions.

Since that earth-shaking stock market crash, Xu Zhen has always been very careful, for fear that Miss Shen will scrape out a few more pounds of oil on him.

There was another urgent report: "The Shen family fleet had a fierce confrontation with the Shandong Navy..."

Xu Zhen was delighted that his information was always faster than others, so this short-term investment was naturally more certain.

It’s just a pity that this guy Liu Jingxiao loves his troops more than he loves money. He refuses to disclose any information. If he notified himself one day in advance of the information about withdrawing from Ma Muji... No, it would be a few hours in advance! He wouldn’t have sent him to death!

Just as he was thinking that the two women in the marine securities industry who were best at eating people and not spitting bones had already come over. Murong Fenghua first said: "Go with us..."

Xu Zhen naturally knew that Qian Qing'er and Murong Fenghua were definitely not interested in him, and they wanted to play a beautiful "3p" game with him.

Besides, you just want to play, but our family still doesn’t like it. Who says that our family has suffered a lot of kidney deficiency recently? As a result, ten secret aphrodisiacs of the imperial palace were found, and the results were very good. Once they met a beautiful woman, they would not work.

Because of this, Xu Zhen finally kept his clear mind. He glanced at Qian Qing'er. Qian Qing'er seemed to ignore him, but that look had already explained everything, and Xu Zhen was extremely excited.

Brother Liu! You are the one who takes care of me the most! I can give another one!

East China Sea.

The tension had just dissipated, and the military band played the naval song. Lu Da stood at the head of the ship, a sea blue sailor suit, and his indescribable heroic posture was not as energetic as his sailor suit. The officers and soldiers of the ship were lined up in three rows to salute the naval officers and soldiers of the Third Fleet. Four warships sounded their whistles and escorted the fleet away.

In terms of the third fleet, Dongdong sailor looked at the beautiful warships that were leaving, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really energetic... People are very energetic, and warships are also energetic. That's a whole steam fleet!"

Captain Wanshendu also praised: "It's not bad! It's very energetic. I hope this stimulation can allow the young lady to build a few more fast steam sailboats for us, preferably one that can be held on the 18th festival!"

In terms of fleet size, the Shen family ranks first among the four major fleets, but when the fleet is large, it is naturally inconvenient to change clothes. It is not as good as the capable Second Fleet and the Shandong Navy. There are still a large number of sail warships in the fleet.

Of course, the coal price is too expensive, and the operating cost of sailing warships is as high as the sky.

In this case, the small fleet is more beneficial, not to mention that Commander Lu’s performance just now is indeed a perfect naval soldier. Even if he stands on a hostile standpoint, he will be praised endlessly.

Since the war started, the Third Fleet based on Shanghai has been dispatched many times to intercept ships off the coast of Shandong, because given the neutral status of the Shen family, it is unwilling to import any combat materials into the war zone.

Just now, Lu Da personally led the fleet to pick up the transport fleet. Although there were ten warships here, the tonnage and artillery of any ordinary warship were much stronger than that of Shandong's small fleet, Lu Da was not afraid at all. The four warships set up their combat formations and the flag words were even more open: "If I point out to you this is war, maybe it would be a waste of time!"

The wording is completely full of offensive spirit. Although everyone knows the tendency of the Third Fleet, in this case, the Shen family did not have the courage to break the long-standing neutral tradition and could only allow Lu Da to escort the transport fleet away. However, when leaving, Lu Da showed his gentleman spirit.

However, with the spirit of this moment, the four steam warships had already broken through the waves and saw only a bunch of small black dots in the distance between the sea and the sky. Wanshen couldn't help but say: "The era of steam has arrived..."

The steam era is really coming? At least some people don’t think so.

Tian Weishi is a veteran hero of the war of Liefeng. Thirty years ago, the great military commander and naval commander of the Tieler fleet was defeated by the horse. His works can be found in any naval school in the world.

His prestige was even to this level. As long as he celebrated his birthday every year, naval officers from all over the world immediately sent telegrams to celebrate, even in the republic of the enemy country.

However, the Qianwang Deep Major asked helplessly: "May I ask Minister Tian Wei, when will you get the shipbuilding plan this year? How many hybrid warships are there..."

Qian Wang kept in mind the teachings of the naval officers and must not mention the word steam in front of the Navy Minister, otherwise the talk will collapse immediately.

Originally, Grandpa Qianwang should not interfere with the Navy, not to mention that Qianwang is usually a famous anti-navy faction in the Army.
