The setting and reorganization of military ranks have given the entire unit a new look. Everyone was beaming, at the ceremony of receiving the rank on January 30, Liu Jun was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a black military uniform, and hung up the only rank of general in the entire Lushun army, and hung the rank of lieutenant general to Li Rong, Wu Hao, Zhang Yi, Zhong Lin, Li He, and Luo Dacheng. Ran Xu and a group of other people who were newly promoted to division commanders were hung up with the rank of major general.

Warm applause and firecrackers made the whole process extremely grand and solemn.

The general's collar badge, all made of gold, stays on the collar of the military uniform below the neck, shining.

After the award ceremony, Liu Jun officially announced a problem at the end, that is, to move the headquarters to the original Beiyang Navy Division's naval office.

Now Liu Jun has not only supplemented the original department, but also set up several major departments, such as the General Staff, the Operations Department, the Communications Department, the Quartermaster Department of the Intelligence Department, and the Navy Department. At the same time, Liu Jun also privately asked Wu Datong to be in charge of all government affairs in the places occupied by the entire Lushun Army without consulting Li Hongzhang. Although he is still a county magistrate, he is no different from a governor now, except for Liu Jun, he is the second in command in government affairs.

This Wu Datong can be regarded as loyal, and he has been fighting for Liu Jun all his life.

moved to the Navy Office, and Liu Jun's house naturally lived in Ding Ruchang's room at that time. Looking at this room with simple decoration but very elegant, Liu Jun turned around a few times and pushed open the window.

Today, not only did he complete his rank, but he also discovered that two future warlords were also in his own unit, Duan Qirui of the Second Brigade of the First Division of the Third Army and Feng Guozhang of the First Brigade of the Second Army.

Although they are only a regiment commander now, Liu Jun knows that these two Beiyang warlords, Yuan Shikai's tiger and dog, will one day become his right-hand man.

Hehe, I didn't expect them to come to me, Liu Jun laughed.

Wu Xiaoyan, who had a big belly, saw where Liu Jun was smirking, and walked over and asked, "What are you laughing at, this is happy." ”

Seeing that it was Wu Xiaoyan, Liu Jun hurriedly closed the window, helped him to a chair and sat down, pinched her shoulders and said, "Nothing." ”

It's okay to coax ghosts, but it's still a little difficult to coax Wu Xiaoyan, looking at Wu Xiaoyan's suspicious and prickly gaze, Liu Jun felt a chill in his heart, so he had to make up a fake and coax Wu Xiaoyan.

The war has ended, and the entire Lushun and surrounding areas have been out of the war, and the next thing is to vigorously train new soldiers.

Liu Jun still underestimated his influence, and there were 30,000 recruits in Dalian Jinzhou and the newly recovered areas.

Together with the three armies that have already been formed, there are already 100,000 troops.

He ordered Xu Xianling, director of the training department, to set up training offices in Dalian, Jinzhou, and Yingkou to pay close attention to training recruits, and at the same time, he urgently drew 300 outstanding soldiers from the First Army and the Second Army to start training recruits.

Get everything done. Liu Jun couldn't stay idle, inspecting Dalian today and training the frontline positions tomorrow. The day is busy from morning to night.

As soon as he came back today, before Liu Jun sat down, Zhong Lin came over and said inexplicable words to Liu Jun: "Head, that German is here." ”

German, that German, Liu Jun was so depressed in his heart, raised his head, he asked suspiciously, "What Germans?" ”

"It's the one who gave us arms last time."

fluttering, Liu Jun rushed out of the door at once.

"Damn, I almost forgot about it." Liu Jun said as he ran, but after running a few steps, he stopped again and muttered to himself: "No, no, I must not show that I want to see him now, otherwise there is no way to do this business."

Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun dumbfounded, he didn't know what kind of madness Liu Jun was, seeing Liu Jun standing outside the door in a daze and muttering, Zhong Lin muttered very strangely in his heart: "Isn't it just a German, what's the fuss."

How did Zhong Lin know that this German was none other than the German Minister Klinder.

After obtaining Liu Jun's half of the drawings of the former dreadnought-class battleship, Klinder was excited for half a night and did not sleep, and at dawn the next day, he sent himself a telegram of 100,000 to Berlin, explaining everything here, and at the same time stating some of the approximate data on the drawings, and putting forward Liu Jun's conditions.

Kaiser Wilhelm II immediately summoned the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of the Admiralty, the Minister of the Interior, and other experts to examine the data on this remark, and finally came to the terrible fact that the situation at sea in Germany would be immediately reversed as soon as the warship was put into the water.

Temptation, great temptation. It's a naked temptation. The ironclad ships that turned the tide of the German sea situation were in the hands of a general army in the East.

However, in the face of the conditions proposed by the general army, the German top brass was a little difficult, two cruisers, a Mauser gun production line, an artillery production line, training naval personnel, this is simply a lion's mouth.

However, in the face of this big cake, the German Emperor and the Admiralty were reluctant to discard it. After much discussion, it was better to have this bread tempting, after all, it would be the only thing that would turn the tide of the situation on the German sea.

Wilhelm II also fought this time. Two cruisers weighing more than four thousand tons were pulled out of the High Seas Fleet and a production line was withdrawn from the Krupp plant, the Mauser Arsenal, which was transshipped onto a transport ship.

In order to show his sincerity, he got this picture, Wilhelm II even gave Liu Jun three torpedo boats for free and brought the text, hoping to strengthen cooperation with Liu Jun, of course, this was all done in secret, and Wilhelm II did not let the Qing minister know all this.

Wilhelm II was not a bodhisattva either, he sat with two hands and prepared, and once he reached the east, if it did not exist, then immediately announced that he would visit the Beiyang Naval Division, and if it was true, then drive the warships and equipment directly to Lushun. Get the drawings back.

After all this was done, Wilhelm II sent a secret telegram to Clinder, telling him to take charge of all this, not to let the English get the blueprints, and to tell the fleet that it had departed. Be sure to let him hold Liu Jun.

After receiving the secret telegram, Clint left Tianjin the next day, traveled thousands of miles by land, and finally arrived in Lushun at noon today.

Liu Jun stood outside and thought for a while before returning to the room. Let Zhong Lin serve this Clinder well, he will cool this Clinder for two days.

Two days, for Clinder, it was even more uncomfortable than two years, and every day he asked Zhong Lin where Liu Jun went, and the answer he got was those few words

"The marshal is patrolling the position. Haven't come back yet. ”

"Dashuai has gone to the front."

"Handsome."

Clinder was on the verge of collapse. But anyway, today he finally knew from the Zhong Lin who served him that Liu Jun was going to see him at noon.

At noon, as soon as Liu Jun saw Clinde, he hugged Clinde like an old friend he hadn't seen for decades.

Clinder knew in his heart that Liu Jun didn't want to see him, probably because the British also came. The two sides just sat down. Clint told the purpose of his visit.

After listening to Clinde's words, Liu Jun understood that this girl had more than ten slippers.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Junswen said: "Your Excellency, it's still the same sentence, hand over the money with one hand and the drawings with the other, you know, now we just drank the Japanese army and fought a battle, this ammunition, guns are urgently need to be replenished, you see this matter we ......"

Despicable, shameless, profiteer, Clint sitting in a chair kept insulting, he was a smart man, and he knew that Liu Jun wanted arms again. will be here to talk about everything.

Hypocritically showing a smile, Clint said: "What did General Soldier Liu say, our legation still has some arms, and we will definitely send some to General Soldier Liu when I go back." As he said this, Clinder's heart was bleeding. But there is no way around it.

Liu Jun wanted this sentence, since Clint was so happy, Liu Jun got to the point, and directly asked if the conditions were agreed.

Clinder was afraid that the guy would ask him for something again if the conversation continued, so he briefly described the contents of the telegram sent to him by the German emperor.

After finishing speaking, seeing where Liu Jun was pondering, Clinder said again: "In order to show his sincerity, His Majesty the Emperor has specially sent three torpedo boats to General Liu for free. ”

Yo, and this good thing, Liu Jun, who had already set off for the fleet that Germany had given him, was already excited in his heart. As soon as I heard that there were also free torpedo boats. Liu Jun stood up and stretched out his hands: "Deal"

It's the pigs that don't sell. Liu Jun is not stupid, if the lion's mouth is too much, it is not a good thing. It's not a good thing to be too greedy to eat as much as you can.

After getting the parameters and equipment of the two warships in detail from Klinde, Liu Jun knew that the German was really honest and did not give him a ragged warship.

Excited, he left Clint on the spot and had lunch together.
