Chapter 370 Negotiation Team

"Press up, press up, and the counterattack should be faster."

"Okay, the midfield must be up, top, stick, stick, and don't let them get the ball so easily."

"Pull the edges and prepare to pull the edges. The middle lane must be encircled in time."

"Fight behind you, hit behind you, and you must play the ball behind you more firmly."

............

Wang Hailong was wearing a leisurely sports outfit, wearing a baseball cap and sneakers, standing in the middle of the field, loudly directing the team to the ongoing training players. He didn't know where he got a whistle, shouted and blew and gestured, and there were some world-famous coaches who had the ring. The players were all wearing short-sleeved shorts jerseys, running back and forth on the court, fighting each other, and the offense and defense alternated, and the scene was also very lively. Moreover, on the sidelines, there was a camera, which was cameraing the athletes on the court. If someone didn't know, I would probably think it was a professional team conducting training.

During Li Hongzhang's visit to Tianjin, the Time Traveler and the British representatives in the Observatory Team reached an agreement. During the Shanghai negotiations, the two sides played a football match. This matter had spread in Tianjin. Both the Time Traveler, locals, and consulates from all countries knew that it naturally aroused people's curiosity and widespread discussion.

Because time travelers are more interested in this game, although the level of Chinese football in the old time and space is not very good, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for football is no worse than other countries. Most time travelers like to watch football games. I didn't expect that in this time and space, they would actually play football games with the British. This also ignited the emotions of many time travelers. Because they were traveling through time, they were usually useless, but now there is a rare hot topic, so they all became active. Some people offered suggestions and designed tactics for the football team, fighting for the 451 or 442; some advocated setting up a watch team and cheering for the team in Shanghai; some recommended themselves and asked to join the football team and go to Shanghai to defeat the British Empire.

Even if time travelers are interested, the newspaper naturally cannot miss it. Therefore, interviewing the football team has become an important goal of this military camp interview. Yesterday, Lin Mu and He Wenjing had completed an interview with the team. Today, they mainly took some training scenes and photos.

The Executive Committee also attaches great importance to this game. If you can win the game, it will be very helpful to improve the reputation of the time traveler. Therefore, Wang Hailong, the captain of the Yueyang ship, was specially ordered to be the coach of the football team, be responsible for selecting players, training teams, etc., because Wang Hailong can be said to be one of the starters of this game. In addition, Wang Hailong is also a relatively senior football enthusiast and an outstanding amateur athlete, and is the most suitable candidate.

After being appointed, Wang Hailong immediately took the Yueyang ship's football team as the team, and selected several soldiers who played well from other ships to form the Time Traveler's football team, without extensively selecting players from all Time Traveler.

This is mainly because Wang Hailong understands that to form an excellent team, it is not enough to combine a group of good players. It also requires good tacit understanding and overall cooperation, so that everyone can play their abilities in the team. This requires enough time to train. But now the time travelers are facing insufficient time, with only more than ten days in the first place, which is not enough to combine a group of excellent players into shape.

With the Yueyang ship's football team as the team, this group of people have been living on a warship for a long time and are training and playing football under the command of Wang Hailong. The tacit understanding and cooperation between each other, and the tactics formulated by Wang Hailong are reassuring. In addition, several warships often play games, and they are familiar with the abilities and characteristics of the fighters playing football with each other. Therefore, they can select several soldiers who play well on the other warships to make up for their shortcomings, so that their own strength will be further increased, and it will not affect the cooperation of the whole team. In the end, Wang Hailong formed a total of 22 people, 16 people in Yueyang ship, 6 people in other warships, and 2 assistant coaches, totaling 25 people.

After a few days of training, the entire team has basically taken shape. Wang Hailong believes that with the level of this team, it is definitely not enough to play in the old time and space, and playing in the China League Two is more than enough. If you are in the China League Two, you can probably get in the middle and lower reaches. As an amateur football team, such strength is already very good. Wang Hailong believes that he is at least 60% sure against the British Navy football team, because Wang Hailong has checked the information and the football level of this era is very low-end, so Wang Hailong is quite confident.

While Lin Mu was filming, He Wenjing came over with a few people and shouted from afar: "Da Mu, they are here."

It turned out that the newspaper sent follow-up personnel to form a press team with them to go to Shanghai for an interview. He Wenjing just now went to the gate of the military camp to pick up people. After Lin Mu heard this, he immediately looked up and saw that He Wenjing brought four people, three men and one woman, two of whom were foreigners.

After everyone met, they introduced themselves. It turned out that the four newly joined were written reporter Wen Xiaohua, photography assistant Yang Zhi, two foreigners are Mexican-American Davedot, and French female reporter Chanistine. Wen Xiaohua and Yang Zhi are not old, less than 30 years old, all of whom were recruited to the newspaper. Davedot is like Lin Mu, with a long head, brown skin, and a big beard on his face. He looked quite old last year, but he was actually only 33 years old. Chanistine was younger, only 28 years old, and a red girl. Although her appearance can only be considered to be medium-sized, her figure is quite hot, with a bulge on the front and a tilted back.

Now Davedot and Chanistine don’t speak Chinese, but they can speak English. Lin Mu’s English is very good, so there is basically no problem communicating with them. The other three also have a certain English foundation, so basic communication is still OK.

After everyone communicated for a while, Lin Mu realized that the four of them were with the negotiation team and would set off tomorrow, go to Qingdao first, and then go to Shanghai with Qin Zheng. Of course, Qin Moman, the German Consul in Tianjin, also went to Qingdao with him to preside over the negotiation of the club project with the time traveler.

Lin Mu also briefly introduced the interview situation of himself and He Wenjing in the military camp to the four of them. In the past few days, in addition to interviewing the army, they also interviewed the construction project of the Tianjin shipyard and the operational results of the salvage team.

Now all the wrecks at Dagukou have been salvaged, totaling the Russian ships, including the Russian ships, the German ship Hertha, the French ship Pascal, the American ship Newark, the Italian ship Aiba, and 5 small warships, as well as 5 transport ships. In addition, the Russian ships, the French ship Lyon, the British ship Orlando, the German ship Lufthansa, Brandenburg, and the Japanese ship Akishi, a total of 20 ships. However, after evaluation by the salvage team, it was believed that the Sissoi, the Newark and the Aiba were seriously damaged and had basically no maintenance value.

But after discussion, the traveler decided to drag all to Qingdao whether to repair or not, because even if it is not repaired, there are many accessories on the warship, such as ships, which can be dismantled and used on other warships. In addition, they can also be used as scrap steel. These three warships can obtain at least 15,000 tons of scrap steel. This is a very useful material for the traveling group, which is still lacking in supplies.

The salvage team naturally went to Qingdao together, because there were warships in Qingdao that needed to be salvaged, and the salvage team also had these two ships, which could also be used as tugs.

After talking about the situation, Lin Mu also put away the camera and took them back to his and He Wenjing's residence. Of course, their residence was arranged in the military camp, and each had a single room. Because they were going out to Qingdao tomorrow, they did not ask the troops for a room. He Wenjing and Chanistine lived in a room, while the four men squeezed into a room and endured for one night.

The negotiation team was led by Li Sanjie, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and two staff members of the Foreign Affairs Department, Li Liuyi, Peng Kai, and Qin Zheng, formed a negotiator who could go to the negotiating table. There were 12 relevant staff members, and in addition to the 25 people in the football team, there were 25 people, totaling 50 soldiers.

The next morning, the negotiation team left Dagukou and rushed to Qingdao. This time the person who sent them to Qingdao was the passenger ship Longxing Island. There were about 80 people on the crossing boat, all of which were soy sauce parties. Because Qingdao is short of staff now, and the Executive Committee also decided to take this opportunity to eliminate all the soy sauce parties and let everyone join the work.

The Longxing Island left the Dagukou Wharf first, and then some other captured warships were towed by tugboats, and some of the warships had power systems, so they sailed on their own power, and left the wharf in turn and followed behind the Longxing Island.

It took almost two hours before all the ships left the dock, and at this time, the Longxing Island had already driven more than 50 kilometers, and the shadow of the Longxing Island was no longer visible on the shore.

The largest voyage of Longxing Island was 19 knots. After leaving the port, it advanced by 15-16 knots. This degree was considered a very high voyage among civilian ships of this era, and it was not slow even among warships. The other ships sailed only 10 knots. Although some ships sailed for 10 knots, they couldn't get up because they had to drag other ships. Therefore, after sailing for 2 hours, Longxing Island left other ships far behind and advanced alone. After sailing out of the Bohai Bay, Longxing Island increased its voyage to 17-18 knots, which basically made the entire voyage.
