"Today...the choice is in your hands!"
Xiang Ying's call was still echoing on the Zhiyuan. The four hundred warriors were gradually breathing heavily, and their eyes began to exude fanatical killing intent.
Only Cai Bixia could remain calm to some extent. He grabbed Xiang Ying's wrist and begged, "Don't do something stupid, you are committing suicide! The Chinese only have this Zhiyuan. If something goes wrong, we are not afraid. What we are afraid of is It has delayed the national destiny of our Chinese nation!"
"I beg you, don't go crazy, go back to Hamburg! We must leave this battleship to the Führer! This is the root of the Chinese navy..."
"Roots? Hahaha..." Xiang Ying sneered and shook off his lover's hand. "The roots of the navy are not in a battleship, but in the tenacious spirit! The courage to fight! And the elite soldiers!"
"Going around in the face of the enemy? Even if we retain this battleship, we have also lost the spirit of the navy! The soul of our navy cannot be lost!"
"A Zhiyuan, you think it is the sky, but in the mind of the head of state, nothing can compare with the Chinese to reshape the soul of the navy!"
"We have been delayed for thousands of years! The soul of the navy has not been established since ancient times! We can easily pursue material things and just spend money, but the spirit of the navy cannot be shaped within a hundred years!"
"Every battleship sunk in a bloody battle on the battlefield is the cornerstone that shapes the fighting spirit of our Chinese navy. Our Zhiyuan must be the first cornerstone!"
Xiang Ying looked at Cai Bixia and suddenly said in a gentle tone, "Don't underestimate our mentor. If the Qiuhe in his heart can't even fit into a Zhiyuan, how could he create this Chinese race single-handedly!"
"My mentor's mind can accommodate the stars and the sea, how can he be submissive to an armored ship?"
"Brothers! I am the first to express my position today. I, Xiang Ying, am willing to die here. If I am lucky enough to survive, I am also willing to bear all the responsibility for today's crimes alone!"
The crowd suddenly became excited. Lin Zhen, the gunner of the Zhiyuan, was the first to stand up. "What a beautiful idea you have! You want to take away all the credit, but I'm not willing to do it! What kind of bullshit guilt, in my opinion All the crimes committed today are my military medals in this life!"
"I want half of the blame!"
"And me!" The chubby Jin Sanshun also stood up. "How can you lose me in such a profitable thing? Let's fight! If you don't fight in the navy, how can you travel?"
Even Fatty Jin jumped out, and the others couldn't lag behind. Liu Anchen, Qiu Wei, Jiang Yuheng, Yan Xing, Sun Chujian... these generals who were trained on the battlefield, all gathered together today!
Many years after the war, Xiang Yingcai gradually understood the hard work of the head of state. Today, the Zhiyuan actually gathered the first batch of elite navy students who studied abroad.
For example, Liu Anchen, Qiu Wei... these naval officers have actually become captains on their own, but because their warships are too old, they are currently mothballed at the dock of Hamburg Military Port.
This time the head of state asked the Zhiyuan to go out on patrol, and the order was for all naval officers to take turns training so that the commanders on these other warships could also become familiar with the performance of the Zhiyuan.
At that time, Xiang Ying and others thought that this was to prepare for the service of new types of ironclad ships in the future. After all, every new type of ironclad ship that would be put into service in the future would require a command system.
But many years after the war, when the head of state completely opened his heart and told him about this shocking test, Xiang Ying understood that the head of state actually wanted the first batch of generals of the entire Chinese navy to gather together to carry out this great test. It is a big test related to the destiny of the country.
Navy! navy!
This is the military branch with the highest education. They have read the most and have the broadest vision... These people are born with the conditions to participate in politics. It is the best choice to select future reformers among these people.
It's a pity that Xiang Ying, Cai Bixia and others are completely unable to understand the head of state's chess game. These people just make their own instinctive choices with passion.
Under Cai Bixia's incredible eyes, all the warriors of the 400 Zhiyuan actually stood on Xiang Ying's side. No one hesitated at all. Facing this naval battle like moths flying into a flame, they showed no fear at all. .
Xiang Ying looked at Cai Bixia, "Go! Leave the Zhiyuan in a small boat... Go back to the friendly warship, and go back to Hamburg! We know you are not a deserter, but we hope you can go back... Tell the people who will follow you here today In the end what happened!"
"No..." Cai Bixia cried hoarsely, "I am also a member of the Zhiyuan. If you can die here, why can't I?"
It's a pity that Xiang Ying didn't have any sympathy for her this time. He waved his hand, "Come here! Escort the communications commander to the small boat and send him to the friendly warship!"
Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the military policemen on the Zhiyuan, Xiang Ying yelled, "Execute the order!"
The two military policemen did not dare to neglect, and rushed forward, grabbed Cai Bixia's arms and whispered, "Sir, don't make things difficult for us... let's go!"
After saying that, the two of them tried their best to drag Cai Bixia off the boat!
After all, she was a female soldier, and her strength could not be compared to the male soldiers. While crying, Cai Bixia was dragged and put into the small boat. An accident happened when we finally got off the gangway.
Cai Bixia refused to climb up the rope ladder, and the soft rope ladder made it impossible for the military police to control her off the boat at the same time. In the end, Xiang Ying took action. He tied Cai Bixia's hands with ropes and used the rope to hang her. The basket sent her into the boat.
Across the side of the Zhiyuan, the two of them stared up and down. Even Xiang Ying's eyes were red at this moment!
"This farewell will probably be our farewell forever!"
"Goodbye my love... don't miss me, move on in life... find someone to marry who loves you!"
After saying this, Xiang Ying burst into tears and turned around to leave!
"Don't... I don't want... wuwuwu..." Cai Bixia cried loudly on the boat, and she even lost her temper when she was so emotional.
The change in the Zhiyuan had already alerted the two Prussian warships accompanying the patrol, the Prussian and the Hamburg. They were both old warships with wooden shells and iron armor with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons.
From the moment the Zhiyuan began to gather on the deck, the commanders of the two warships looked at the Chinese in confusion. They didn't know what their allies were doing.
What's even more strange is that the Zhiyuan didn't even answer the advisory light signal sent by the Prussian warships, which only increased their curiosity.
From a distance, these Prussian sailors only saw Chinese figures, and no one knew what they were doing.
It wasn't until the Zhiyuan lowered the boat and began to approach the Hamburg with difficulty in the waves that the Prussians knew something was wrong.
"Oh God, the wind force reached level 5 tonight, and the waves in the North Sea were as high as one meter. Why did they still risk getting closer? Hurry up and throw the rope ladder and send the sailors to rescue..."
In the wind and waves, the small boat struggled to move forward in waves more than one meter high. The Prussian sailors lowered the rope ladder, and four sailors were already hanging on it, waiting for the small boat to approach.
Just a little bit, the wave was about to smash the small boat into the iron armor. Thanks to the superb skills of the two military policemen, they used wood pulp to prop up the small boat.
"Please report to the commander of your army that the communications officer of the Zhiyuan will return to Hamburg for personal reasons. Please protect him properly!"
"Ah? The communications chief...is she some beautiful communications officer? For personal reasons? Why did you tie her up?"
