Chapter 1284 Countdown to the start of the war

It's time to go to war, hearing Liu Jun's order to Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, thought in her heart.

In three days, if Spain does not give 200 million in compensation, war is inevitable.

"We can get the fleet back." After Zhong Lin left, Zheng Yiqian came to Liu Jun and whispered.

When he came back, he wanted them to come back, and Liu Jun actually knew better than anyone else that war was inevitable, and the Spanish side would categorically not agree to his request.

"Give them electricity and let them all come back."

Nanyang Manila port, Liu Lin got up early in the morning, he has been resting here on the Flying Dragon for five days, these five days, although there is no governor to visit, but Liu Lin did not take this matter to heart.

"Is there a telegram from the capital?" Liu Lin, who got up, saw that Wang Ping had already come to the bridge, so he stepped forward and asked.

Now that the situation is tense, it is perfectly fine to lead the fleet away now, but once war is declared in the future, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to leave at that time, so now is the best opportunity to leave here.

Wang Ping got up so early for this question, and he had already returned from the telegraph office.

There was still no news from the capital at the telegraph office.

No, judging from the situation in Nanyang in the past few days, Hu Langge has secretly formed the strength of three armies, and they shouldn't have given themselves information until now. Hearing that there was no message, Liu Lin thought suspiciously.

"Report, emergency power in the capital."

came, Liu Lin, who was puzzled, heard this, and immediately walked to the list of telegraph personnel.

"The commander has an order, let us leave immediately and return to Lushun."

It's going to be war, Wang Ping, who heard this, thought in his heart.

"Order, each ship to anchor. Depart the port and return to Lushun. ”

Woowoo........ Liulin's order was quickly carried out, and more than thirty ships began to ignite the boilers, followed by billowing smoke.

Governor's Palace, at this time, Hu Langge has not yet gotten up, and in the past few days, he has been busy with the matter of forming an army defense.

The domestic telegram has already come, their estimation is not very good, prepare yourself, and the country is ready to support at any time.

Hearing this, Hu Langge's heart suddenly cooled. Waiting for domestic support, I'm afraid Nanyang has long been lost,

However, in order to delay time, he still listened to the words of the adjutant, not to mention the salary of the soldier, not to mention, and gave a certain pension to stimulate the people to become soldiers, not to mention, it is very effective. It had only been less than two weeks, and he had three or three more corps under his command. These forces are currently concentrated near Manila, ready to be mobilized.

Knock knock knock....... Knock knock knock....... The knock on the door woke up Hu Langge, who was still resting, and when he heard the knock, Hu Langge sat up from the bed and opened the door after getting dressed.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Liu Jun's fleet in Manila has left."

What the? left, hearing the adjutant's words, Hu Langge had a bad look in his heart, but judging from the adjutant's expression, it didn't seem to be talking about Gaha.

After a few steps to open the door, Hu Langge came to the top floor.

Who said no, at this time, he could see the thick smoke billowing from the port area, which was all soot from the burning of large fleets.

"Lord Governor, do you want to intercept them?" The adjutant asked after seeing Hu Langge looking at the soot in the distance.

Intercept a fart, intercept at this time, this is not what you are doing looking for death.

The two countries have not yet started a war, they cannot intercept it themselves, and if it does, then all the diplomatic work of some time ago will be lost, and the two countries will declare war, therefore, this fleet cannot intercept.

"No, let them go. Let's not intercept. "Your Excellency Hu Lang, who has comprehensively considered the situation, has issued a clear order.

Time has passed little by little, it has been five hours since the fleet came out, these five hours, Hu Langge is in a happy mood, in his eyes, these more than 30 ships are a thorn in his heart, and now this thorn has finally left, how can he not make himself happy.

"Something has happened, Lord Governor." Once again, the adjutant broke into the governor's office.

The sudden adjutant startled Hu Langge. He didn't know what his adjutant was running around.

"Your Excellency the Governor, there is a call from China, the Liu Jun Empire has asked us to compensate 200 million pounds, and it has been agreed at home that we cannot repay it, and the war will inevitably start, I hope we can detain these more than thirty ships as capital.

What the hell, why didn't you say it earlier, everyone has been away for five hours, and only at this time did the message come, what is the country doing, Hu Langge who heard this was about to go crazy.

"Quick, let the fleet go out to chase, they are slow, we must catch them." Hu Langge, who had finished complaining, gave orders with a roar.

Woowoo....... The Marira fleet in the port of Marira began to dispatch as a whole, but by this time, it was too late.

Liulin, who left the port, gave the order to sail for five hours, which means that now, the brigade is far away from here, not to mention his snail fleet in Manila, even if the gods are there, they can't catch up with themselves.

Night. Hu Langge got accurate information, and the fleet that went out chased after the sea for several hours, and he didn't even see the shadow of the fleet.

Hearing this, Hu Langge's heart was about to break. The flotilla could not catch up. Next, I can only fight with Liu Jun.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart, early in the morning, this is already the last day for Spain. In another five hours, if there is no reply from Spain, Liu Jun will give the order to fight.

At this moment, the Ministry of National Defense, Liu Jun has arrived in the huge war room and listened to Defense Minister Wang Shizhen. Report by Chief of Staff Ding Ruchang and others.

Currently, the Beiyang Naval Division of the Navy. The Fujian and Guangdong sailors have all assembled. On the South China side, Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin and others have already reassembled the troops that had originally returned to the station, and everything is ready, just waiting for Liu Jun to give the battle order.

Next to him, Wu Tingfang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also in the Ministry of National Defense, and he is here today for exactly one thing, that is, to write a declaration of war.

Time passed little by little, Liu Jun looked at the time, and from time to time he would look at the wall clock on the opposite wall.

A little bit passed, everyone present was staring at the time, looking at the time, everyone knew that at two o'clock this afternoon, if they didn't have any response, it meant a war.

It's close, it's been an hour, and the palms of the people who have been there are sweating at all.
