Liu Guanxiong took a sip of tea and said, "No, I came here this time without an official body, and I only want the development of the Northeast Navy." Seeing that Wang Maoru was surprised, Liu Guanxiong smiled and said: "I have resigned from the post of chief of the navy, and now I am just a cloth coat." ”

Wang Maoru asked excitedly: "Is this serious?" ”

Seeing Wang Maoru so excited, Liu Guanxiong was also quite surprised, why was he so excited to resign, but Wang Maoru did not have malicious intentions, but was very relieved and smiled: "What is this to lie to you, the two of them have already resigned here, and they were just approved last month, no, they came to the Northeast and Northeast Haiphong." If I visit the Northeast Coastal Defense as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, are you worried that I will take your ship? "The last Beiyang warlord 56

The three of them laughed, and Wang Maoru said: "Liu Gong said that he was laughing, he was laughing." Liu Gong, the younger generation has to ask for you. ”

Liu Guanxiong was surprised: "You ask me? You're kidding, you're kidding. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Yes, it is indeed a request for you. ”

"Tell me, I'm curious, why do you still ask me." Liu Guanxiong said.

Wang Maoru smiled and touched his beard, Jiang Fangzhen laughed in his heart, and only heard Wang Maoru say: "The Northeast Naval Academy has just been established, and it really needs a respected senior of the Navy to serve as the principal, and I also asked Liu Gong to give me advice and serve as the principal of my Northeast Naval Academy." ”

Liu Guanxiong opened his mouth wide, and only said half-loudly: "Okay, you Wang Xiusheng, people say that you are unparalleled in calculation, if this is the case, even my idea is beaten." ”

Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile: "I'll just say it, the little fan in Beiyang calculates other people's things at most, and our Xiushuai is the one who calculates the whole world." Ha ha. Teacher, I'll just say that as soon as you come, you won't be able to leave. You should stay and help the students with peace of mind. ”

Liu Guanxiong shook his head and said, "You guys, the two of you are calculating me together." ”

Everyone laughed again, and Wang Maoru said: "Liu Gong, it is indeed unexpected to see you today, I only hope that you will lead the Northeast Navy with many years of experience." And the younger generation is ready to unify the navy of the Republic of China and vigorously develop the navy of the Republic of China, but our army has no naval talents and admirals in charge. You and the late Yuan Gong are friends for eight worships, Yuan Gong is my teacher, you are my senior, and please help the juniors. ”

Liu Guanxiong thought for a while and said, "I happen to be free during this time, so I'll help you." ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Good, good, this is excellent, excellent." Zang Hao, prepare a banquet and entertain Liu Gong in the evening. ”

Liu Guanxiong hurriedly said: "I came to the Northeast in a low-key manner this time, it's not like provoking right and wrong, Xiusheng, you are embarrassed for me." ”

Wang Maoru said: "Liu Gong, as a senior of Beiyang, you still make me panic when you condescend to come to me, what about a mere reception banquet, seniors must not be polite." Jiang Fangzhen also said: "Teacher, don't be polite." Although the banquet in the evening was urgent, the senior officials of the National Defense Force did not all arrive at the scene, giving Liu Guanxiong enough face, and it was not until the end of the evening that Liu Guanxiong thought that the most important purpose was to invite the Northeast Navy to join the Republic of China Navy, but he got into it instead.

When Liu Guanxiong got up the next day, someone knocked on the door, it was Luo Guang, the trusted adjutant assigned to him by the National Defense Army, and Min Rui, the chief of the guard. ”

In the morning, there was a welcoming meeting for naval officers, in the afternoon there was a preparatory meeting for naval personnel arrangements, and in the evening there was a welcome banquet held by Yuan Keding for Liu Guanxiong. Liu Guanxiong had breakfast, and as soon as he walked out of the Moscow Hotel, he went to the door where three cars were parked, and Min Rui and others fought well next to the car. Luo Guang hurriedly said: "This is the guard assigned to you by Xiushuai, and the car in the middle is your car." President Liu, should you go back to the Grand Hotel to rest or go to your house for the dinner party in the evening? ”

"My family?" Liu Guanxiong was surprised, "My home is in Beijing?" ”

Luo Guangdao: "Xiushuai has arranged a villa for you, which is in the southern suburbs of Haitang, not far from General Shangwu's mansion." ”

Liu Guanxiong was even more surprised, and said, "So quickly arranged a place to live?" ”

Luo Guang smiled: "Yes, I have already sent an invitation to your children to go north to reunite with you. "The last Beiyang warlord 56

Liu Guanxiong laughed dryly, not knowing what to say. After getting into the car, Luo Guang respectfully handed over the newspaper, which is the "Northern Times", the news newspaper with the largest circulation in the north and one of the three legal newspapers. The title of Liu Guanxiong's first edition was: Admiral Liu Guanxiong, the former chief of the Navy, went to the post of principal of the Northeast Naval Academy. He didn't expect Wang Maoru's series of actions to be so fast, just one night, everything was arranged, and even the newspapers were published, so he couldn't be the principal himself, this small.

At this time in Beijing, Duan Qirui was surprised to turn on the power, and said left and right: "Liu Ying went to the Northeast? Became the principal of the Northeast Naval Academy? Is he crazy? Leave the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy to be the principal of a military academy? Is he crazy? ”

The reason why Wang Maoru left Liu Guanxiong was because of Liu Guanxiong's qualifications, with his great god, the speed of the establishment of the Northeast Navy

degrees are enough to speed up several times.

Liu Guanxiong is a native of Fuzhou, Fujian, graduated from the fourth phase of the driving class of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, and the third phase of the naval student in the UK. In Taiwan, when the natives rebelled against the Han villages and military camps, the Qing government sent Liu Guanxiong to pacify the natives. Liu Guanxiong decided to be a native in the first war, and Liu Guanxiong was promoted to the commander of the Jingyuan Gang. In 94, the Sino-Japanese naval battle broke out, Liu Guanxiong and Ye Zugui were injured in the flagship Dingyuan, resolutely hung up the command flag, led the rest of the fleet against the Japanese Navy, and the whole ship reported that they decided to fight the Japanese fleet to the death with the determination to die. Because it was getting late, the Japanese ships were worried about damage, so they immediately retreated. The Jingyuan led three battleships and four torpedo ships to pursue the Japanese fleet for dozens of miles, and severely damaged the Japanese ship Hiei. Later, in the Battle of Weihai, the Jingyuan was sunk by Japanese ships, Ye Zugui was punished, and Liu Guanxiong was spared from punishment and was sent to Germany to receive the 890-ton Flying Eagle.

Ye Zugui was reactivated, and Liu Guanxiong was promoted to the important task, and was awarded the post of pipe belt of the Haitian, the largest warship in China at that time, the 4,300-ton main cruiser. But Liu Guanxiong committed a common sense offense, the Haitian in charge of his responsibility, crashed into the reef at Wusongkou in Shanghai because of the heavy fog, causing the sinking of China's largest cruiser Haitian, and was finally saved by Yuan Shikai, and then thrown into Yuan Shikai's men. After the establishment of the Republic of China, Liu Guanxiong's position was entrusted by Yuan Shikai to serve as the chief of the navy, after Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong asked his old boss Cheng Biguang to serve as the chief of the navy, and after Li Yuanhong went into the field, Duan Qirui re-appointed Liu Guanxiong as the chief of the navy. Jin Yunpeng reorganized the cabinet, Liu Guanxiong resigned, and Sa Zhenbing served as the chief of the navy. Although Liu Guanxiong left his post, he had a close relationship with Xu Shichang and was sent to the northeast as a special envoy to contact the warlord Wang Maoru north of the Great Wall, but he didn't want to be robbed by Wang Maoru and became the principal of his own naval academy.

Liu Guanxiong's family soon came to Changchun from Beijing, which made him even more likely to stay. Later, Liu Guanxiong found Wang Maoru before going to Qinhuangdao, and only then did he mention the purpose of his visit, because the Northeast Navy is of a local nature, because it cannot be called a navy, it can only be called a marine police, so as not to divide the country. At the same time, the navy, which will not be recognized internationally, will be considered to be the first armed force of the Republic of China and will not be recognized internationally. Wang Maoru didn't take these into account, thanks to Liu Guanxiong for reminding him, but at the same time, he also wondered if Shen Honglie didn't know about this convention? Liu Guanxiong laughed and said: "I'm afraid he thought that the Northeast Navy could replace the Republic of China Navy." Wang Maoru smiled, and then consulted the military attache of the US Consulate, Captain Roger Felt, and Felt said that this is indeed the case, and the Northeast can only be called a marine police, not a navy.

After thinking about it for a while, after all, he didn't have the energy to replace the status of the country, so he discussed with Jiang Fangzhen and others, and finally decided to change the name of the Northeast Navy to the Coast Guard, so as not to give people tongues. As a result, under a paper order, the Northeast Navy was renamed the National Defense Force Coast Police Escort Force, referred to as the Coast Guard, and the fleet led by Shen Honglie was temporarily organized as a certain fleet of the National Defense Force Coast Guard Fleet.

Leading the fleet to return Shen Honglie received the telegram, and sighed in his heart, after all, Xiushuai still didn't have the courage to fight the world. He then telegraphed back that a total of eighteen (sixteen of his own) ships, including two British Navy frigates, had crossed the Indian Ocean and arrived in the Indian port city of Mumbai, where they were preparing to return along the Bay of Bengal. The fleet was welcomed by the Indians in Mumbai, but Leng Shen Honglie was embarrassed that he thought that the Indians welcomed the Chinese, but did not expect that the Indians welcomed the British. This made Shen Honglie very incomprehensible, in a colonized country, the people actually had a strong admiration for the colonizers, and they didn't even have the slightest sense of resistance, and they really didn't have any shame.

Wang Maoru laughed at the telegram sent by Shen Honglie, found Liu Guanxiong and said: "Liu Gong, the Northeast Navy fleet with a total tonnage of 40,000 tons is about to return to China, and I also ask Liu Gong to give this fleet a name." ”

Liu Guanxiong was excited, thought for a long time, and then said: "This fleet is the largest fleet in my country, and it is also the hope of my navy. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Why not call it the North Sea Fleet?" ”

"The North Sea Fleet? What does that mean? Liu Guanxiong said.

Wang Maoru explained: "In the future, we will build four major fleets, the North Sea Fleet, which will be stationed in Vladivostok, the East Sea Fleet, which will be stationed in Lushun, the South China Sea Fleet, which will be stationed in Taiwan, and the West Sea Fleet, which will ......."

"Where to stay?"

Wang Maoru walked to the map and said, "The West Sea Fleet is stationed in Bangladesh. ”

"Bangladesh?" Liu Guanxiong said in surprise, "Isn't that Britain?" "Don't skip words.

"No, it's a British colony." Wang Maoru smiled strangely and said, "The British can grab it, why can't we Chinese grab it." Liu Guanxiong, who was shocked, opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to think.

The naval fleet led by Shen Honglie was immediately designated as the North Sea Fleet of the Northeast Coast Guard of the National Defense Force. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
