Ninth Commander Zeng Guoquan has actually reached the critical point of explosion. He already knows that his plan today is a bit impulsive. In fact, he has formulated the deterrence plan completely according to the standards of the Zhiyuan.
He didn't want to start a war at all, and he didn't dare to start a war. He also knew that the Hunan Army no longer had the will to fight. What he wanted was to intimidate the negotiations and gain more benefits for the Hunan Army Group.
He put on a posture of being able to fight and talk, and just forced the Chinese fleet to stop sailing. After he did this, it was enough.
The rest is political drama. He wants to announce to the whole world that I, the Ninth Commander, am still a very powerful tiger, and the Chinese people also respect me.
In this way, on the one hand, we can better rule the Jiangnan area and continue to cooperate with the Chinese in business, and on the other hand, we can let Guiziliu know that I am still powerful, and you will have to rely on me when you become emperor.
Naturally, the foreign devils are also indispensable. If you can block the foreign Chinese warships, the foreign devils will have to take a high look!
A person lives with one breath, and a force only lives with an aura!
But all the plans were wrong. The battle formation set up by the Ninth Commander was just fine against the Sino-Japanese War-era warships of the Zhiyuan level, but World War I-style armored ships like the Eight King Kongs were beyond his ability to fight against.
Xiao Letian's plan is very clear. The Eight King Kongs belong to the design style of the early World War I, but as long as the Chinese make deliberate breakthroughs in electrification, internal combustion engines, and the chemical industry.
The subsequent Eight King Kongs will definitely reach the level of high-quality products from the World War II era!
The first eight King Kongs are designed in the style of World War I, and the last eight King Kongs are designed in the style of World War II. Xiao Letian's battleship plan is actually a two-step process. Sixteen ships are enough!
After the last eight King Kongs were installed, the first eight King Kongs immediately underwent electrification upgrades, and then the aircraft carrier technology tree was desperately upgraded on this basis.
These three steps are the centenary plan of the Chinese navy in the future. Xiao Letian has a very clear mind. Before the Chinese aircraft carrier has laid down its dumplings, the Chinese navy will always adopt a defensive posture in East Asia and will not take the initiative to attack.
In fact, Xiao Letian himself believed that his maritime strategy was very stable and conservative, but he underestimated the backwardness of this era.
The technological gap of several decades has become a completely insurmountable gap for many countries.
The reason Jiu Shuai suffered today was because of poor technology. He only relied on a few photos to speculate on the combat effectiveness of the new Chinese battleships, which would naturally lead to huge deviations.
When he saw the scale of this battleship with his own eyes, the Ninth Commander already understood that the Jinling Fort he had carefully built was of no use at all.
The 330mm steel plate has exceeded people's ability to think about steel structures in the medieval times!
You will definitely not win the war. Look at these 210-caliber cannons. Once fired, the range will definitely cover the entire Jinling City. The area where you are defending is all within the bombing range of the warships.
This is an asymmetrical war. Under the bombardment of other people's artillery, everything will be destroyed. Even if you fire thousands of artillery guns at once, you may not be able to penetrate such thick steel armor.
How to fight this? You will definitely lose!
But the situation is already here. If Commander Ninth gives up, how will he lead the team and negotiate with Guiziliu and the others?
The key thing is that it is Lin Zhen who leads the team, not Xiao Letian. If Xiao Letian came in person today, it would be easy to say anything, and there would be no need to bow his head.
Or it could be the Four Heavenly Kings or Xiang Ying! Why is he just Lin Zhen? I am too young and my level is not high enough. If I bow my head and compromise, my face will be shattered in the future!
During the stalemate, a man suddenly appeared on the deck to rescue everyone. This was Fan Jin from the Western Region Investment Bank.
This Fan Jin is the nephew of the old shopkeeper. He also handled a lot of specific business during his time in Naha. Although he is not well-known, he is considered to be in the middle level. He still has some friendship with Lin Zhen and others.
"Lin Zhen, you don't understand the rules so much... Why are you talking to the commander-in-chief... When the head of state sees the ninth commander, he has to address him as "senior", how come you don't understand etiquette so much!"
Come on! He Xini is here, and the steps are just around the corner. Jiu Shuai is secretly happy in his heart, but there is an extremely angry expression on his face!
"Lin Zhen! How arrogant! Do you know that even with strong ships and powerful guns, there is still public support?"
"Jiangnan has just had more than ten years of peace, and you want to break it? Even the hundreds of millions of people in Jiangnan won't agree!"
"This Jinling was brought down by our Hunan Army with blood and tears. If you want to get there... then just step on my bones and get there! If you have the guts, shoot... If you have the guts, shoot!"
"You don't dare anymore? Haha... Let's go... Immediately order the entire army to prepare for war. As long as his Chinese warship dares to move upriver, he will fire at me immediately!"
The Ninth Commander blew his beard and glared. His aura was truly extraordinary. His roar filled the entire deck. Behind him, Bao Chao, Liu Jintang and others were sweating profusely. When they saw that the Ninth Commander was about to get off the boat and even lift the table, they hurriedly shouted. Supporting him from the left to the right.
"Commander, please calm down...Commander, please calm down...there's still more to talk about...and there's still more to talk about..."
"That's it...the Ninth Commander, for the sake of the head of state...no, no, no...for the sake of the dead commander...let's talk about it again!"
"It is not easy for Marshal Zeng and the head of state to establish such a strong friendship! Why hurt the harmony..."
A group of generals of the Hunan Army pulled their arms, hugged their waists, and tried to persuade the Ninth Commander not to lift the table. The wine was quite delicious. It would be a waste to lift it!
Relying on his status as the admiral of the Western Regions, Liu Jintang also began to get along with each other. "General Lin... so do you... The head of state and Marshal Zeng have a lifelong friendship!"
"Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face! Don't you even give the head of state the face? Carry the bomb down... don't be so nervous!"
Fan Jin also ran over and acted as peacemaker: "My brother Lin! General Lin... you have to change your temper! Is there anything on the negotiation table that cannot be bargained for?"
"Why are you carrying the cannonball? It hurts the harmony. Why don't you take a step back... Why don't you take a step back..."
This scene is interesting. Lin Zhen and Jiu Shuai are on the left and right, with a huge gun barrel in the middle!
The Ninth Commander desperately wanted to lift the table, and Lin Zhen desperately wanted to roll up his sleeves!
The two of them were being pulled and persuaded like two lighted firecrackers. The Ninth Commander shouted loudly to his men, "No! My bottom line is that they are not allowed to pass Jinling, and the warships are not allowed to pass..."
When Ninth Commander yelled at his men, he was actually yelling at Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen also yelled at Fan Jin, "Face? Face is earned by oneself, not given by others... What will happen to my mission if I give him face? I'm going to the military court, will Zeng Guoquan be shot on my behalf?"
"Damn it! I'll give him some face... divide one-third of the troops and withdraw, and the remaining two-thirds will continue to complete the mission!"
The Ninth Commander was listening with his ears bent, and yelled, "Fuck! Are you giving me my face, you idiot? For Xiao Letian's sake, the small gunboat can continue to move forward, and the warships can get out!"
Here Lin Zhen shouted again, "No...I still have to get shot...I'll stay half and leave half..."
"No, no... If you dare to continue moving forward, I will fire..."
"Damn... the last deal is done, do you like it... the battleship returns to the sea... the cruiser continues to Wuhan..."
"This is my bottom line... If I don't agree... we will break up... Prepare for war! Prepare for war!"
Such a wonderful negotiation has not been seen for thousands of years. The two of them quarreled and haggled across the cold dining table and the barrel of a gun. In the end, with the persuasion and persuasion of everyone in Liu Jintang, the Ninth Commander was finally satisfied.
"Hmph! Let me give Xiao Letian some face... This kind of battleship should get out of here!"
okay! The negotiation ended successfully!
