Three three five auspicious three brothers...

Weihaiwei, Liugong Island, the sound of cannons a hundred years ago, and the heroic spirit of the navy that has disappeared for a whole century!

——When Ling Ning, Wen Desi and others pointed at the location on the map and began to propose that the future base should be placed there, that heavy history suddenly emerged in the minds of the young people present.

"Is it the station of the Beiyang Navy? We deliberately avoided it at the beginning because we didn't want to get involved with that unlucky fleet."

Ade frowned. He was a very practical person and did not have so many romantic feelings. When the staff team chose the first foothold on the Shandong map, Weihai also came into view as an alternative plan, but in the end it was

It was rejected for a simple reason - it was too unlucky.

"I heard that people at sea are very superstitious. The Beiyang Navy was completely wiped out in the end. If the Navy wants to put its base there again...don't you think it's a bad omen?"

"That's wrong. In this era, we are the seniors. Putting the base there is precisely to make a good start for the Chinese Navy in the future."

Ling Ning responded with a smile, while Wen Desi waved his hand meaninglessly:

"Omen and the like are just talk. Later, the North Sea Fleet also stationed in Weihai. The water there is wide, the depth is suitable, and there are cliffs to the north that can block typhoons. It is very suitable for a military port - Li Hongzhang is not a good person.

But his vision is still trustworthy."

"Well, since you think it doesn't matter... just use Weihai as your base."

Ade and Hexi and others did not insist anymore. Anyway, for the army, it is the same wherever it establishes its foothold. The Shandong base will rely on the navy in many places in the future, and their opinions are crucial.

——In fact, if you want to consider establishing a naval base in Shandong, Jiaozhou Bay near Qingdao is the most suitable. As long as you guard that narrow outlet, the ships located there will never have to worry about being attacked by surprise. Storms and tides are all natural factors.

The impact can also be minimized. No wonder the main base of the North Sea Fleet of the later navy was placed there.

However, the area around Jiaozhou Bay is too vast and cannot be used unless the entire territory of Shandong is controlled in the future. For the short-haired army that currently only needs a "stronghold", Weihai is more suitable.

After the plan was finalized, various preparations became more detailed and specific. The troops scheduled to be dispatched even began to plan the combat settings, and Beiwei also entrusted Wang Haiyang with the task of supervising the continued training of the reconnaissance brigade, and he and a group of elite subordinates began to

The elusive play disappeared.

——As long as you are a little careful, it is not difficult to guess their whereabouts: the Short-haired Army must make the most comprehensive preparations before every battle, of which battlefield reconnaissance is of course crucial. As the leader of the reconnaissance brigade, Bei Latitude

, of course he would not lag behind others at this time, he would definitely take action personally.

The distance from Hainan Island to Shandong is not short, but in the eyes of the young men in the reconnaissance brigade, this does not seem to be a bad thing. This team is full of the most daring young men in the army, and under the leadership of Bei Lai, they have no scruples.

As long as the staff gave the order, they would dare to break into the Forbidden City.

There is no distinction between land and sea in the establishment of the reconnaissance brigade. All their team members are required to be able to hunt tigers in the mountains and catch turtles in the sea. Boating, swimming and rock climbing on horseback are compulsory skills. However, Bei Latitude is very cautious and still requires them every time he goes out.

The Navy cooperates and dispatches marines and large ships to support the rear. Operations without support are never carried out. Although it has not been used once so far, according to Northern Latitude - as long as there is no response, there is a danger of the entire army being annihilated.

, after all, they have run too far now.

Their most commonly used reconnaissance ship in the northern latitudes is the super lightweight racing boat "Xue Feng". After repeated drills by a group of "seniors" such as Andrew and Huang Xing, they have become basically familiar with the performance of small sailing boats like the Xuefeng.

There is also a set of standard procedures for operating techniques. However, because there are currently not many schooners in the navy, there is no time to train sailors. As a result, the reconnaissance brigade took the lead in mastering this set of operating procedures.

The two medium-sized fast Schooner schooners newly built in Wang Ruobin Shipyard were the first to be equipped with a reconnaissance brigade, and together with the Xuefeng, they formed a fast reconnaissance fleet. However, regarding the issue of the Xuefeng formation, the Navy

There was a small dispute internally, over nothing else but the name "Snow Wind" - everyone who knew the name's "glorious career" in the past was opposed to the formation of Snow Wind with other ships, especially

Wen Desi said that the navy was not superstitious, but they were quite consistent on this issue.

But we can’t let this small racing boat, which only accommodates twelve people, run to Shandong alone? Besides, except for the latest version of the schooner, no other ship type can form a formation with it - the speed difference is too far.

At the end, someone slapped their head: Aren't you afraid that Xuefeng's name is auspicious? Let's give it a fight with fire...

So there were two newly launched schooners, one was named "Shigure" and the other was named "Nowaki". Together these three auspicious brothers, it is estimated that no one is afraid of the other.

——Of course, these remarks are only circulated among modern people, and mostly as jokes. For the vast majority of sailors and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, they didn’t care what the name of the ship was. In their eyes, this kind of

Under the same sea conditions, the light boat that can far exceed the speed of the Guangzhou ship is another maritime miracle displayed by the Shorthair after the large iron ship. No matter what they are called internally by the Shorthair Army, when the spies reported it to the government

In the documents, they all uniformly called this type of fast boat "short-haired flying boat".

"Iron ships thundered, flying boats were like lightning, crossing the sea, irrepressible" - soon after, such words spread throughout the inland of the Ming Dynasty, and became the Ming Empire's deepest and most intuitive impression of the short-haired navy.

In the busyness, the months of March and April passed quickly. During this period, in addition to sending some personnel to assist Wu Nanhai and others in agricultural work as usual, the military team spent most of the other time in intense training and war preparations.

Jie Xi had not returned to Qiongzhou Prefecture for a long time. In order to cooperate with the Shandong plan, he formally reported to the committee and applied for transfer from Qiongzhou Prefecture. After discussion within the committee, it was Hu Wen who volunteered to take Lao Jie's position and go to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Bian is in charge of government affairs - it is now a complete green zone, and the force of the urban management brigade is also very reliable. Hu Wen did not have to worry about safety in the past.

But are the former Ming officials over there willing to obey the orders of a woman? There is some concern in the committee. But Hu Wen said that this is a good opportunity for both parties to adapt. Thinking about Julie's example in front,

The officials in Qiongzhou Prefecture should have been mentally prepared for this, so they agreed to let Hu Wen do it.

Hu Wen has been doing a pretty good job so far in the past month. She is currently cooperating with Wang Pu to continue the "civil service examination" that was delayed due to recruitment and security negotiations some time ago. The latter is very concerned about having a serious relationship with a woman.

In fact, there is still some resistance to discussing official matters in the Eight Classics, but on the one hand, there is the temptation of being a teacher, and on the other hand, it is probably because the recruitment plan is about to be completed, and I don't want to cause trouble, so I tolerate it for the time being.

Julie and her trading company headquarters still remain in Qiongzhou. This Hong Kong self-reliant woman seems to have no intention of "marrying a chicken and following the chicken", although she agreed that after Xie Xi established a foothold in Shandong, she would follow him to Shandong to open a trading company.

Branch, but in response to Lao Jie’s obvious desire for her to stay with him during this period, he pretended to be deaf and did not make any response.

This made Jie Xi very disappointed. Fortunately, not long after, Julie returned to Lingao due to another matter, and Jie Xi accompanied her carefully and never let her go again.

——Not long ago, a flower boat was opened from Qiongzhou Prefecture. Hu Wen and Julie personally sent a bride to come to Lingao to marry Hu Kai. This surprised everyone in Lingao because they actually did it in advance

I didn't even send a telegram to inform, I just brought the person here directly.

However, Hu Kai himself was not surprised at all, but looked very happy. The bride who came to his door was Hu Kai’s girlfriend, who works in the entertainment industry in Qiongzhou City. Since two years ago, Hu Kai followed Xiao Wei and a group of people

After getting to know each other over a night of drinking wine, the two have been fighting fiercely. However, due to their busy training and patrol tasks, they don't have many opportunities to meet every week. Due to military regulations, they cannot live directly in the house.

Together.

Hu Kai, a silly big man, had no plans. He thought it would be good to continue like this. However, the woman obviously had a lot of social experience. After finding out that these short-haired men were about to be recruited and could be appointed by the court in both civil and military affairs, the second

The teenage female boss is inevitably worried - in fact, this worry has already existed: men always like the new and dislike the old, and if Hu Kai turns against him after being promoted, the happy ending he has been thinking about for more than two years will be gone.

.

It's just that the bosses who were waiting for Hu Kai when Pang Yu left the table never went to Huajie. This female boss was a little afraid of them, and she didn't dare to come to talk to them even if she had ideas. It happened that there was a new "Short Hair" here.

"Nv Qingtian" came to Qiongzhou Prefecture to be in power, and it was always easy for women to talk to each other... And Hu Wen, who had just arrived in the place, just needed to find a few things to improve her reputation. She used to be in the labor union

I was used to doing all kinds of things like matchmaking at work, so I became excited when I heard: Gay men are not careful in their work. How can the organization not care about this?

After finding some insiders to understand the situation, and confirming that the matter was true, Hu Wen immediately patted her chest: This matter is all mine, there will be no Chen Shimei among us!

-

I went to the hospital yesterday and was in bed with fluids until midnight.

I owe you all an update, and I will take the time to make it up later. I’m afraid I can’t do anything about it recently. I’m very busy with work and I’m sick again...
Chapter completed!
