Chapter 1195: The Return of the Wanderer
For half a winter, Liao Fan spent all the time in the ocean. The trip to the magnesium country has taken a month and a half.
Fortunately, there is something to gain, not to go home empty-handed. And the domestic situation is quite stable, and nothing special happened in the days when Liao Fan left.
"Minister Zhou, why don't you go back to Luoyang first, and I'll send these three landing ships to the south!"
Finally arrived within the territorial waters, Liao Fan was not in a hurry to return to Luoyang. You must know that the three landing ships they have brought back now are the only three landing ships in China at present. This is their first step to making a fortune.
"Do you want to notify the troops to protect you along the way?" Minister Zhou asked.
"There are magnesium people on this landing ship, who dares to do it!"
Liao Fan didn't know how to drive a ship, so on the way back to China this time, from the captain to the sailors, they were all retired soldiers who were temporarily recruited from the magnesium country.
Of course, Liao Fan came back with the professionals sent from the Magnesium Country to find a port for their fleet. They went out in a few people, and they brought back a troop.
"It's because of the magnesium people that I'm worried that something will happen!"
Although Chairman Jiang has had a good relationship with the people of the magnesium country since the beginning of the meeting, this is all a need of the general situation. Minister Zhou's concern is not that the Chinese people will resist them, but that the people of the magnesium country will do things that violate the law and discipline after coming to China.
Today's China does not have as much entertainment as the magnesium people, and it is not as open as the magnesium people.
Especially these veteran oils, they have been on the battlefield, they have experienced death, and now they are alive they don't care about everything, after leaving the army, they are all wild horses that have escaped, and no one can control them except themselves.
It is very likely that they will clash with the people because of different customs, or they will put on a high-ranking and natural appearance in front of the Chinese people because they are the saviors.
"Hmm...... Reasonable! ”
There are some things that don't need to be explained clearly by Minister Zhou, as long as the point is reached, Liao Fan will be able to understand. The crew members brought back from the magnesium country did not understand the laws of China.
But at present, they are about to step into Liao Fan's territory, and if they dare to make trouble on his territory, they just can't get along with him. However, there is a problem, and that is to focus on the big picture at the moment.
"After you return to Luoyang, communicate with Chairman Jiang and Chairman Meow, and issue a notice to the local law enforcement departments, telling them that as long as you violate the law and discipline in their jurisdiction, no matter who is arrested first. When it comes to disputes, we'll deal with them in the end! ”
The law is greater than the sky, this is the rule set by Liao Fan and Chairman Jiang and Chairman Meow, whether it is poor or rich, whether it is the people in power or ordinary people, they are all equal before the law.
The people of the magnesium country are also exceptional, Liao Fan welcomes you to be a guest, but you are not welcome to come to break the law.
"Okay, after arriving at the port, I will take the car back to Luoyang directly!"
"Let Huai Yuanliang protect you and go back, this time we will go directly to Zhanjiang and just take a look at my brother!"
"Let Lao Huai protect you closely, now our country is at a critical time, anyone can have problems, you can't have problems!"
Seeing that their cooperation with the magnesium army is about to begin, Liao Fan is the main military commander of the country, and he must have this cooperation to land in Japan before it can be carried out.
"I'll go to my brother's, naturally there won't be any problems with safety, but there is no one else to protect you except for a secretary and a guard, and when you return to Luoyang safely, let Huai Yuanliang come back to me!"
The domestic environment is much more complicated than that abroad, and out of this village, not many people know Liao Fan. However, within the country, although the country has moved towards peace and reunification, there are still remnants of various forces.
Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and the favorite thing for these remaining forces is to engage in assassination. They can be there anytime, anywhere.
"Okay, then I'll borrow Lao Huai for the time being, and I'll give him back to you when I return to Luoyang!" Minister Zhou also stopped refusing.
The ship was getting closer and closer to the mainland, but the taste in Liao Fan's heart was very uncomfortable. Although they had troops along the coast, they were not aware of it at all when a few strange ships sailed into the territorial waters of the country.
Even if they are aware of it, they can only watch, without the navy, there is no defense of the near sea. If an enemy country approaches, they don't have a navy, so they can only watch people show off their might at the door, even if you hate it so much, you can only swallow it.
A naval power is ocean-going and the navy is still far away, but it must have the ability to defend against the sea.
"What's the matter, look at your face suddenly not good!"
Minister Zhou noticed Liao Fan's abnormality, Liao Fan was fine all the way, why did he look so heavy when he arrived at the door.
"How do you feel about our three ships, which have no flags, no signs, and no signal to the coastal troops to approach, swaggering close to the door of your house?"
Sometimes there are some problems that they have to face, because there is always something that reminds you that Liao Fan and them are on pins and needles.
"When will we be able to have technology like those shipyards in the magnesium country!"
They visited those shipyards when they were in the magnesium country, and they were all produced on an assembly line, and then assembled with extremely high efficiency, which was really impressive.
Even if they are well-informed, they don't feel good when they think that the people of the magnesium country have such an efficient way of producing weapons.
All good things want to be their own family, and Minister Zhou is no exception.
"This sea is beautiful, they are our country, no one can sail here without our permission!"
The sea is also a territory, and although no one can inhabit it, it can also support one person. Throughout thousands of years, although our ancestors relied more on the land than on the sea, this was also an asset for future generations.
If you want to protect this sea, you must have a strong navy.
The ships docked at the port in Fujian, and then they were docked by small boats. Liao Fan and the others made a direct detour and continued to walk south. This time, Liao Fan sent a telegram to Liao Jundong, asking them to prepare to pick up people in Zhanjiang.
In fact, it is also to find a place for such a magnesium country on the ship, people are here to help, even if Liao Fan is guarding against others, he has to give people a place to live, eat and drink well, and do what should be done.
There are already ports for large ships to dock in Guangdong, which is why Liao Fan insisted on coming to Guangdong. And the shipyard in Guangdong has also begun to operate.
The ships brought back by Liao Fan were not used for combat, but for them to dissect and learn, so it was most suitable for these three ships to be placed in Guangdong.
The ship whistles and sails into the harbor!
It was the liveliest since the construction of the port, except of course when the great powers knocked on the gates with their ships' cannons. Although the fleet of the Qing Dynasty had a soul, this soul did not belong to the whole country, but to the feudal dynasty.
The port that is now bustling with activity is a real army that belongs to the country.
"Fanzi, why did you bring back three ships on your trip to the Magnesium Country? What kind of ship is this? ”
"Brother, don't worry about any ships first, I've been floating on the sea for so long, I eat all day long with reserve food, and I don't have any oil and water in my stomach, let people arrange them, let's go eat first."
Liao Jundong, the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, did not need to personally arrange the affairs of the ships, and if Liao Jundong needed to arrange these things personally, the navy would not see any hope of development within ten years.
The two brothers finally got together. Liao Fan didn't just come for the delicious food, what he brought back from the magnesium country this time was intentional to the national navy, and these three ships alone were enough for them to study for a year.
"Signal soldier, drive my car over, and you inform Lao Luo and them to study those ships carefully, the ships are now ours!"
In Zhanjiang, Liao Jundong can also be regarded as having his own nest, after all, he is also a general who holds military power, and he can't sleep in the open at any time.
"Jiang Guangnai originally picked a small villa for me, but I lived alone, and I always felt empty, so I asked him for a secluded small courtyard outside the city, not to mention that the environment was good and quiet!"
Jiang Guangnai is responsible for presiding over the government affairs of Guangdong, and he is also responsible for the stability of the soldiers, and he originally prepared a 300-square-meter villa for Liao Jundong, after all, it is also in line with his identity.
But Liao Jundong didn't accept it, the reason was very simple, he was thinking about Liao Fan's reputation in the future. A small yard was already enough for him.
"You're just living here?"
"How can I live here by myself, there are guards, communications soldiers and orderlies, and there are patrols on the periphery, I want to live by myself, they don't agree! I knew this, I didn't agree to Jiang Guangnai's at the beginning, just live in the barracks, it's convenient. ”
"Signal soldier, let the kitchen cook two more dishes."
The two brothers naturally had a lot to say when they met, and sure enough, before Liao Fan finished visiting the small courtyard, all kinds of good things had already been served.
"This is our own dried fish from the Navy, and pickles marinated in kelp...... It's ......"
The navy soldiers are also very cute, many of them came from the interior, and they saw the sea for the first time in their lives, and they were curious about what was in the sea.
So as long as all kinds of things can be eaten, and if they can't vomit and diarrhea after eating, they all find ways to get them to eat. Liao Jundong naturally can't lack such and such things here.
"Brother...... I'm your own brother, and I've come back from the sea all the way back to see this thing, and I have no appetite at all! Liao Fan's eyes were resentful.
The time spent adrift at sea is not long or short, and the things that can be eaten are limited, and Liao Fan is afraid that he will not want to eat this fish in the next month or two, and would rather gnaw sweet potatoes and eat the reserve grain of their army than endure the smell of the sea.
