Chapter 1271: Opportunity Comes

Li He heard that Liu Jun wanted to leave at a time so that he could give an order to the Ministry of Commerce, so he immediately picked up the documents and walked out, and then returned to the Admiralty and summoned the chief of staff Yan Fu to discuss. Burn? Wen?? ???. r?a?n?? e?n`org

After more than an hour of discussion, the two finally decided to let the fleet anchored in Lushun set off in five days.

After Liu Jun in the Heart Cultivation Hall got time, he immediately asked Zheng Yiqian to call Zhang Qian, Minister of Commerce.

Zhang Qian is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, and many times, he is dealing with business dealings with the outside world. Therefore, Zhang Qian, who was working, heard Liu Jun calling him, so he immediately put down his work and came to the Heart Cultivation Hall with Zheng Yiqian.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Liu Jun had already placed the prepared documents on the table, and after Zhang Qian arrived, Liu Jun directly handed the documents in the book to Zhang Qian, signaling him to report to Hu Langge in Nanyang after he went back, five days later, the fleet in Lushun will go to Manila, and then escort the Beiyang Navy cruiser Songshan and the destroyer Feilong.

The cruiser Songshan, the tenth warship of the Gloomy class of armored cruisers, was launched less than three years ago. This warship was originally intended by Liu Jun for the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, however, in order to avoid too much stimulation of the United States, in the end, Liu Jun transferred the Songshan to the Beiyang Naval Division.

Because the Songshan went again this time and did not return, the original full load of 500 people ended up with only more than 200 people.

Zhang Qian already knew the purpose of Liu Jun calling him when he came, so after listening to Liu Jun explain everything, he picked up the document, looked at it carefully, and walked out.

"The general trend has been decided, and for the rest, we are just looking for a reason to go to war." Looking at Zhang Qian's back as he went out, Liu Jun, who was standing at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall with his hands behind his back, raised his head and said to Zheng Yiqian in front of him.

Zheng Yiqian also knew that this was a battle related to the fate of the empire, she also nodded, and the two of them stood quietly like this, looking at the sunlight that was about to set.

Nanyang, Manila Governor's Palace, Hu Langge stood quietly in front of the window, at this moment in his hand, holding a telegram, this telegram was sent by the adjutant an hour ago.

The intelligence was a request message sent by Liu Jun's Ministry of Commerce.

Five days later, Lushun has 30 merchant ships transporting porcelain and tea, which will be escorted by the Beiyang Naval Division's warships Songshan and Feilong to Africa. Halfway through, the port of Manila will be filled with fuel and fresh water.

If it was said that in the past, Hu Langge would definitely sign an order for such a message at the first time

However, now, the situation has changed, and his wariness of Liu Jun has once again developed to a stage.

The watershed moment in Liu Jun's view is the manifestation of Liu Jun's massive flood in the Yangtze River area.

When Hu Langge served as the governor of Manila, Japan had surrendered for five days, and he didn't see Liu Jun's strength at all, and then the imperial court in Chengdu surrendered peacefully, which made Hu Langge always think that Liu Jun's troops were not enough to fear. It is still a copy of the imperial army of that year.

In addition, in the past two years, Liu Jun's troops have been recuperating and recuperating, and they have never appeared in front of the world, and it is understandable that Hu Langge has such great ambitions, however, the flood of the Yangtze River has made Liu Jun's troops appear in front of the world again.

When he destroyed the Japanese National Defense Force in half a year and appeared in front of the world again, Hu Langge knew that the gap between himself and Liu Jun was not something that could be compared with one or two pieces of equipment.

Therefore, the current message in front of him, Hu Langge's heart wavered, he didn't know whether he wanted to agree to this matter or not.

Agree with this thing. Then it will be a big deal for the tax economy of Nanyang.

More than 30 ships, among which there are countless coals and fresh water to be loaded, on the whole, it is an income that cannot be budgeted, and the number of days these thirty ships stay here is calculated in terms of money, in the face of this wealth, Hu Langge is willing to agree.

However, the question that made Hu Langge a little worried was whether there was Liu Jun's conspiracy, the philosophical ship, whether it was loaded with something illegal, or a trap.

After thinking about it, he had been facing the message in his hand for so long, and he still hadn't been able to come up with an answer.

"Your Excellency Governor, you've been standing here for almost two hours, how should we respond to Liu Jun's side?" The adjutant who had been waiting next to him saw that Hu Langge had never said the result, and immediately walked over to the question.

When Hu Langge heard the adjutant's question, he immediately reacted, and then walked to the adjutant and said the doubts in his heart.

I have to say that although the adjutant is dissatisfied with Hu Langge, in front of the master, he can still know which is more important.

As soon as the governor heard that the governor was worried about whether there was a conspiracy in this, the adjutant began to ponder at that time.

The adjutant didn't think about it as much as Hu Langge, and after a little thought, the adjutant put forward a suggestion, that is, to agree to the arrival of Lushun's ships, and wait for them to enter the port, so the ships of the Manila fleet are far away from these ships, so that even if Liu Jun has any conspiracy, it can't be realized, and it is impossible to rely on Manila.

Hu Langge heard what the adjutant said, and felt that it was very reasonable, and after thinking about it, Hu Langge picked up the pen in his hand and signed the document, and motioned to the adjutant to inform Liu Jun's Ministry of Commerce.

The adjutant still underestimated how thick-skinned Liu Jun was, he didn't expect that Liu Jun had made the sacrifice of a strong man breaking his wrist this time, and he would not hesitate to find this reason.

Tick-tock messages began to spread through the air.

Three hours after sending the message, Zhang Qian, who worked in the Beijing office, received a notice from Nanyang to play a role.

The above clearly told itself that the South Seas side had agreed to let the entire fleet replenish fresh water fuel in Manila.

Great, I have been restless all day today, I am waiting for this news, this time, I can explain to Your Majesty, looking at the clear consent message in his hand, Zhang Qian laughed secretly in his heart for a while, and then picked up the message in his hand, got up and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

He knew very well in his heart that what Liu Jun needed most at present was this message, after all, Liu Jun would decide from this telegram and finally issue it, and the order to launch an attack on Nanyang would be judged from this document.

Zhang Qian knew that this time, Nanyang would not be able to escape.

Thinking while walking, after a while, Zhang Qian came to the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and before he entered, he saw that Zhong Lin also walked over from the side (to be continued.
