Princess Sissi was not polite at all in this telegram. She abandoned all the polite words in diplomats and used the word "lover" at the beginning.
"Dear Xiao... I'm tired of such a long wait. If you don't want to come to the resort to see me, then I will go to Asia to find you!"
"Do you want me to make things bigger? Do you want my love for you to turn into resentment?"
"Next year, I will go to Mauritius with the outstanding talents you hope for, Nikola Tesla... and three other students who have just graduated!"
"If you come, then these talents will be yours! If you don't come, then I will give these talents to my husband and let them serve in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!"
"And I... will go to Naha to see you with resentment. I hope you will not run away when the time comes. I hope you will have the courage to face reporters from all over the world!"
"Kiss you... dear Xiao!"
Xiao Letian's face turned green after reading this. This woman is so crazy. European women are so passionate about love that it is unimaginable. She is going crazy!
But Xiao Letian knew very well that this time he would have no choice. The Chinese power research had entered a bottleneck period. Although he knew some basic principles and could point out some directions.
But professional matters still need to be studied by professionals. Nikola Tesla is the father of alternating current and a master of electromagnetism.
This kind of talent cannot be let go under any circumstances!
"Hey... call Xiang Ying here... I want to discuss some things with him!"
Wang Ju stood aside in embarrassment, "You...you really want to go? If word spreads about it...the reputation will be so bad!"
"The dignified head of state of the Chinese nation publicly met with the Queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Indian Ocean? How will this be written in the history books in the future..."
Xiao Le stomped his feet timidly, "What can I do? Don't we have some shortcomings that others can pinch?"
"Those outstanding college students at CEIBS are basically found by Sissi... If she gives up and refuses to give them to us, what can we do?"
"Are you really prepared to take the contract and go to court with other people's children? Is that how talents are cultivated?"
"Old Wang, it's not like you don't know... how much useful information Sissi has given us. Just give us top-secret information about Benjamin's plan to attack the Prime Minister next year and prepare to attack Gladstone. How much is this worth?"
"How can I repay this favor? How can I repay..." Xiao Le was so anxious that he was a little hysterical. "You got a free advantage. In the end, it's not me who pays it back with my body?"
"Damn it, it's not me who suffers in the end. I'm unlucky! Ouch...my old waist!"
He stomped his feet so hard that Xiao Letian even ducked his waist!
The Admiralty Building where Xiang Ying worked was very close to the Head of State. After a while, he arrived in front of the Head of State. Seeing the embarrassed Wang Ju rubbing safflower oil on Xiao Letian, he asked in confusion, "This... this is What's wrong?"
Wang Ju angrily stuffed safflower oil into Xiang Ying's hand, "Rub the oil on your good master! He has taken good care of his old waist... so that he can serve the Chinese people!"
"We Chinese people still hope that the head of state's waist will serve us! I'm leaving, you can talk..."
Xiao Le pointed at Lao Wang's back and poked him with his middle finger, "This Lao Wang... got an advantage and acted like a good boy. I'm so angry!"
Xiang Ying helped his master apply the medicated oil, and Xiao Letian asked him angrily, "Which is the fastest warship in our navy now?"
"It's a cruiser... Cruiser No. 036 that sailed from Szczecin in August... has a displacement of 5,000 tons, is equipped with two 120mm main guns, and the armor thickness is lower than that of a battleship..."
"But it's fast! You can run 15 knots easily, and you can even run 19 knots under strong wind and pressure... If there's a tailwind, I can run you over 20 knots..."
Xiao Letian thought for a while, "How is the debugging going?"
"Well... officers and soldiers are still adapting. If they want to become combat effective... I think it will take another year!"
"I don't have that much time to wait... What I want is to be able to sail. I have a mission to go to the ocean for the time being. I shouldn't need to fight!"
"Next year, I will choose a time to go to Mauritius..."
As soon as the name of this place was spoken, a name flashed in Xiang Ying's mind like lightning. What a smart man he is, he knew the key points at once!
Xiang Ying is a very thief. He didn't dare to interfere in this matter. He didn't say anything for a long time, and the speed of applying safflower oil was even slower!
Xiao Letian turned and glared at him, "Why don't you say anything? Are you kidding me too?"
Xiang Ying put away the safflower oil and said, "Master... this... this is your private matter. As an apprentice, it's hard for me to talk..."
"Shit! I asked you to arrange a battleship for me. What did I ask you to do?"
"Yes, yes... the master asked me to arrange the battleship... next March! Next March, I guarantee that cruiser No. 036 can sail out of the harbor!"
"By the way, Master...according to the rules you set, as long as a naval warship goes on an official mission, it has the right to name it! Before, it only had code names..."
"No. 036 is about to go on a mission now...Have you decided on the ship's fate first?"
Xiao Letian set strict military regulations for the Chinese navy. No warship can be named before it has participated in a war or performed an official mission!
At this time, they only have numerical code names. Only after they have participated in battles or sent out missions can they have the right to name them in words!
This is the rule established after Xiao Letian returned to China after the Franco-Prussian War and carried out a series of military system reforms!
Now it is reasonable for Xiang Ying to ask Xiao Letian for the name of the ship!
"Xiang Ying...that's what I think...from now on, our navy will name battleships according to their types!"
"Ironclad battleship... This is the backbone of the navy and the decisive force in naval battles! It must have the most powerful firepower and the thickest armor... Its position in the navy is an unsinkable sea fortress and a mobile fortress that the enemy cannot defeat! "
"So... Ironclad Battleship, I plan to use mountains as the series name, for example, the names of mountains and rivers, or nouns with the word "mountain" next to them!"
"An armored cruiser... requires high-speed mobility and can break up diplomatic relations at sea... When it encounters an enemy's armored battleship, it can rely on speed to escape..."
"And when he encounters enemy caravans, supply ships and light battleships... he can jump on them and fight! What he wants is mobility and flexibility, so I plan to name them after the word wind, including the phrase next to the word wind!"
"Various types of working warships... water mine boats, fish mine boats, small gunboats... these are all auxiliary items for the main force of the navy and provide support to the main fleet!"
"It can be regarded as a way to clean up the battlefield...it pays attention to permeability, which is a bit like the characteristics of water, so from now on, the series will be named after water..."
"Supply ships, hospital ships, transport ships...these are all named after granary warehouses!"
"In this way...it will be easier to distinguish the various types of the navy! Cruiser No. 036 is going to take me to the Indian Ocean...I hope it goes well! It's called Monsoon!"
When Xiang Ying heard the name of the head of state, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes! The training work of the Monsoon will be stepped up immediately... We will ensure that the head of state can sail safely in March next year!"
Xiao Letian smiled and waved his hand, "Okay... okay... don't be so serious! You put down what you are doing first and come back with me to have a casual meal!"
"Tonight's dinner, your two master wives will cook!"
"Ah!" Xiang Ying's face turned green. "Don't go... Master, are you cheating on me? Don't you just want to talk about Mauritius tonight?"
"Trying to use me as a scapegoat to make the sisters and wives feel embarrassed to quarrel with you in front of me... If I don't go, I won't be fooled! The sisters and wives will scold me later!"
What a villain! Xiang Ying ran away without even looking back!
"Hey... brat, when you come back... you still dare to run away when I have to sacrifice your life?" Xiao Letian's helpless roar echoed in the study.
