Super Dictator
Chapter 243 Buying a Submarine
"Your Royal Highness, please get on the boat." British Minister Dou Nale bent down and stretched out his hand humbly.
Mod nodded to Wei Jichen and Liu Buchan and said: "Two generals, you are my friends of the British Empire. Without you, my life would have no luster."
The surrounding Chinese and British officials thought she was talking about being rescued. Only Wei Jichen knew that this was Maud expressing her friendship to him.
Wei Jichen took a step forward, gently took Maude's little hand wearing silk white gloves, kissed it, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it is our honor to meet you. We look forward to seeing you next time."
"Yes!" Maud's eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance, "We will definitely meet again."
Liu Buchan was afraid that the two of them would reveal their flaws at the last moment, so he couldn't help coughing slightly and said with a smile: "Your Highness, your beauty and wisdom impress us, and we look forward to your coming to China again."
Maude gave Wei Jichen a last, reluctant and affectionate look, then turned around slightly and stepped on the wooden plank protruding from the ship. There were two servants behind her to help hold up the long skirt.
"General Wei, I've been bothering you at home these days. I didn't expect General Wei to be so interested in our British culture." During the past few days that Dou Nale and his party stayed in Lushun, they stayed in Wei Jichen's Western-style courtyard. .
Dou Nale first saw the decorations in Wei Jichen's house and decided that Wei Jichen was an enlightened person who could do business.
The British have supported many forces in the Yangtze River Basin, but they have never intervened in China's Northeast region. On the one hand, it is because the Russians are obstructing it, and on the other hand, the Northeast government is relatively xenophobic.
During this stay in the Wei Mansion, Dou Nale seemed to have discovered a new treasure house. He could see that Wei Jichen was young, powerful and ambitious, and he was exactly the person that the British Empire could support. Plus, Maude intentionally or unintentionally Sometimes she said some kind words in his ear, and Dou Nale became more fond of Wei Jichen.
Wei Jichen was secretly amused. It was obviously Maude who did it, but now Dou Nale is blaming him. He didn't point it out, he just smiled and replied: "I am indeed interested in the British!"
Dou Nale naturally did not understand Wei Jichen's profound words. After saying goodbye to Liu Buchan and other Chinese officials, they all turned around and boarded the ship.
beep…
The ship's whistle blew longly, and then it began to move slowly.
Wei Jichen looked around and saw Maude standing on the back deck, waving unsteadily to the shore.
"This British princess is so kind. Look, even after she left, she is still so warm to us." Li Dingxin said with emotion.
After he finished speaking, he shook his hands excitedly. Wei Jichen's detachment was dampened a lot by Li Dingxin's words.
But Liu Buchan said meaningfully: "The matter of Princess Maude has come to an end. Zijie, you must continue to cheer up. There are rumors that the Russian Far East Fleet is coming to our Lushun dock to repair its ships."
Wei Jichen was stunned. Russia had arrived so quickly. He did not even think about it. Although the Russians did not directly occupy Lushunkou until 1898, they had been making small moves before that. Only then did the Russian fleet come to repair it in name. The people on the ship were actually here to survey the waters around Lushunkou and make preliminary preparations for future occupation.
"Did the court agree?" Wei Jichen asked in a low voice.
Liu Buchan sighed and said gloomily: "I will probably agree."
"If the Russians provoke and cause trouble, what will Brother Liu do?" Wei Jichen looked at Liu Buchan with bright eyes.
"Be patient with small things, and never take a step back for big things." Liu Buchan knew that this was an exchange of opinions between Wei Jichen and himself.
Wei Jichen nodded slightly. Although he was a little disappointed with Liu Buchan's words, he knew in his heart that this was the best he could do.
The Beiyang Fleet also has three cruisers and some small ships. In terms of tonnage, they are no weaker than the three cruisers of the Russian Far East Fleet docked in Jiaozhou Bay. However, the comparison of strength is one thing, and whether they dare to fight is another. .
In later generations, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Beiyang Fleet docked at the mouth of Dagu did not dare to fire. They watched helplessly as the Eight-Power Allied Forces breached the mouth of Dagu. In the end, even a few cruisers were defeated by the joint fleets of several countries without firing a single shot. A small boat was sent up and confiscated.
The naval admiral at the time, Ye Zugui, firstly did not receive the order, and secondly, he imagined that if he did not resist, the combined fleets of several countries would eventually return the ships to him. In the end, Russia and Japan divided several cruisers among themselves.
The Russian Far East Fleet was coming, and Wei Jichen felt a sense of urgency in his heart, needless to say.
After they arrive, they will definitely send ships to observe the terrain in the waters of Lushun and Dalian. They may also discover the secrets of Changxing Island. Changxing Island is not only building a port, but also planting a large number of seeds on the island. If The Russians were curious and sent people to the island to take a look. Wouldn't it be exposed that they had planted plants on it and carried out large-scale development to build secret bases?
Of course, the less people know about the secrets of the island, the better. I am afraid that the arrogant Russians will not take him, the commander of the Dingliao Army, seriously at all.
Wei Jichen's eyes flashed coldly, it would be better to kill them and prevent trouble before it happens.
To kill them, first of all, they must be invisible, and secondly, it is best not to do it in the sea area of Lushun.
It is actually not very difficult to be unaware of the enemy. The Germans can use one U-9 to kill three 10,000-ton cruisers. Why can't they use a few to kill the three Russian cruisers? Well, the Russians also only have three cruisers in Jiaozhou Bay. The other ships of the Russian Far East Fleet did not go south and stayed in Vladivostok Port.
Today's Russian Far East Fleet is not very strong. There are only 6 cruisers, and they are all quite old-fashioned. The only ones worth noting are only two. One is the flagship Nasimov armored cruiser. This one has 8 203 guns. The strange one arranged in a diamond shape was built in 1884; the other one is the Rurik-class armored cruiser built in 1888. This is a big fish, weighing more than 10,000 tons.
^.^,
The Russian fleet anchored in Jiaozhou Bay is headed by the Nasimov. The other two are quite old-fashioned cruisers. Rurik I is not here. If we want to compare the strength, the Dingyuan of the Beiyang Fleet currently anchored in Lushun, Pingyuan Yuanhao and Jiyuanhao are no worse than them, and are even slightly better.
The more Wei Jichen thought about it, the greater his desire to kill them became. Shanghai was a gathering place for fleets from all over the world. If he tried to be cool and let it go, the Russians would not even think of who would kill them. What's more, the report just released by the British investigation team There are a large number of mines in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. Three cruisers were struck by mines and sank. Although it may make people feel incredible, if they investigate and investigate and cannot find the answer in the end, this will also become the best. Answer.
Lao Maozi is definitely the evil neighbor who has done the most harm to China in modern times and has the most profound poison. Not to mention cutting off 1.5 million square kilometers of land from China, even the independence of Outer Mongolia was planned by him. China has a total of How much territory, 9.6 million square kilometers, is horrifying to think about.
Then I will kill him. Wei Jichen held his hand tightly and killed three Russian cruisers, halving the strength of his Far East fleet. This deal is a good deal.
Now, the top priority is to familiarize Yang Yonglin and the sailors he brought with him with the submarine's combat methods.
Submarines generally stay hidden on the surface when they are not attacking. Only after discovering a target, or ambushing it beforehand, will they lurk underwater, wait quietly, and then launch a sneak attack.
The main weapon is torpedoes, which are available on cruisers and do not require much time to become familiar with.
The operation is similar to that of ordinary ships, not much different.
Today's ships do not have anti-submarine devices. They rely on the observation of lookouts. Whether calculated mentally or not, the enemy ship will never be able to detect its own submarine.
On Changxing Island, Wei Jichen took Yang Yonglin and other sailors from the shipping company to observe the port on the shore.
Only one Pegasus was carrying cargo, and the other two cargo ships were idle. Yang Yonglin and others stayed at the shipping company headquarters on Changxing Island.
Yang Yonglin didn't know why Wei Jichen divided the port into two parts, but fortunately one part had been completed and separated by barbed wire, walls and other objects.
"Brother Yang, how about staying at my shipping company?" Wei Jichen smiled and stood on a rock and asked aloud.
Two sailors carried him to Wei Jichen's side, and then quietly retreated into the distance.
Yang Yonglin said gratefully: "If General Wei hadn't taken him in, my broken body would really have nowhere to go."
Even though Yang Yonglin was like this, Wei Jichen still saw a hint of loneliness in his eyes. Yes, anyone who becomes the captain of a small cargo ship from being the captain of an armored cruiser would feel lonely. Yang Yonglin was certainly no different, but he He thought that he would never have the chance to board a warship again in his life, so he settled down and became Wei Jichen's fleet commander.
"Brother Yang, if you are given the opportunity to fight with a foreign country again, will you choose to retreat or advance?" Wei Jichen asked slowly.
Yang Yonglin commanded the Zhenyuan to collide with the Chiyoda. In the end, the two ships sank, and he also lost both retreats. However, the Qing court would not see this. They would only see that the Zhenyuan sank in the hands of Yang Yonglin, so he acted heroically. The treatment was not good, and they were not even willing to pay a suitable price in exchange for him.
Although Yang Yonglin was angry and complained about the court, he replied unequivocally: "I will still choose to move forward."
He glanced at Wei Jichen and continued softly: "I am not loyal to the court. This is my duty as a naval general. I have no reason to retreat."
"Don't worry, Brother Yang will definitely have a chance to go to the battlefield!" Wei Jichen said vaguely, but Yang Yonglin was a little confused and thought that what Wei Jichen said was to comfort him.
Late at night, Wei Jichen asked a few soldiers to guard outside, and walked alone into the newly built military port. You can say that the Chinese have thousands of problems, but you can't say that the Chinese are not hardworking enough. Without stopping work 24 hours a day, the port was not only completed ahead of schedule, but the surrounding barbed wire fences and walls were also fully constructed.
The soldiers guarding here are the most loyal soldiers to Wei Jichen. Each of them has a friendship level of more than 90 for Wei Jichen. They will not let anyone approach the port except under Wei Jichen's orders.
Wei Jichen walked up the stone stairs on the pier and slowly walked to the sea. Although the water was cold, Wei Jichen was excited.
This is going to be your starting point.
Without hesitation, Wei Jichen immediately entered the system and clicked directly into the naval military technology system options.
A replica U-9 submarine has 20,000 merit points. It’s worth it. I’ll buy three of them today to see if I can kill you. You actually want to interfere in my territory, Wei Jichen cursed angrily.
Wei Jichen closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and then silently thought about buying, the number three.
"Confirmed to purchase imitation U-9 submarine? Please choose a suitable place to place it." A small jingling sound appeared in real time.
"I'm sure I bought it and kept it in the port." Wei Jichen replied immediately without even thinking about it.
"Ding Dang, you spent 60,000 merit points to buy three submarines. In 5 seconds, the three submarines will appear in the harbor."
Wei Jichen hurriedly exited the system and looked ahead excitedly, crashing, crashing, like the sound of the ocean tide.
Wei Jichen opened his eyes and observed carefully. After a few seconds, he saw three dark submarines suddenly rising slowly from the sea level under the illumination of the moonlight.
This was the submarine. Almost as soon as the submarine appeared, Wei Jichen raised his feet, held the kerosene lamp, walked to the gangway, climbed to the top of the submarine, then opened the lid and slowly climbed in.
Everything inside was very novel to Wei Jichen. He did not dare to touch it, but followed the markings and stepped into the command cabin.
Wei Jichen finally saw something familiar to him, a long tube, which should be a diving telescope. He opened the cover and looked outside. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Wei Jichen smiled in his heart. It was midnight now. , what can you see.
After entering the torpedo room, I saw three torpedo launch tubes not far away. These 25 torpedoes were placed in a row. Good guy, this black thing can sink a cruiser of more than 10,000 tons. It is really not to be underestimated. Look at it.
It's a pity. Yang Yonglin should be brought here and let him test the power of a torpedo.
However, if he saw three submarines appearing out of thin air in the sea, he would probably regard me as either a god or a monster.
But how to explain it to everyone now?
Wei Jichen thought for a while and suddenly realized, why did he have to explain the origin of these things to others? I believe that no one would dare to ask if I don’t ask, and just keep it a mystery and let them guess. Most of them should think that I bought it from abroad.
