The Cam Ranh Bay Squadron has seven large warships, and the small ships of the Guangdong Navy can't resist it. If the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet has bad intentions, there is no need to talk nonsense. All the navy officers and soldiers have no doubts about Chen Hao's words... Only part of what Chen Hao said was
The soldiers heard it, and word of mouth spread it. Most of the navy officers and soldiers knew the truth, and they all started making noises.
On the warship where He Chengdong and others were on, many middle- and low-level officers and soldiers came to the deck to inquire, but were scolded by He Chengdong and others. Even though the low-level officers were dismissed, the officers knew that it was unreasonable to continue to intercept the Cam Ranh Bay fleet, so He Chengdong
He shouted in the direction of the Zhenwa: "Admiral, I will get out of the way immediately. I hope you will keep your word and deploy the warships according to the regulations as soon as they dock."
Chen Hao said with a serious face: "I will follow the regulations. After the warships are merged, whichever adult should be in charge will be in charge. There will never be any deviation."
The Cam Ranh Bay Squadron quickly approached the pier. This time, the naval officers did not dare to neglect Chen Hao and stepped forward to greet him. Chen Hao stepped aside calmly and said: "The imperial court sent an angel to convey the order. Please follow.
Let’s talk about it after I receive the imperial edict!”
The eunuch surnamed Liu who was sent by the imperial court to convey the order had already taken advantage of Chen Hao on the ship. When the Guangdong Navy intercepted the Cam Ranh Bay fleet, this Eunuch Liu was also quite angry. After he got off the ship with an angry look on his face, Chen Hao led the navy
The officials knelt down to receive the order. When they heard that the imperial court's order asked Guangdong Navy Admiral Chen Baxian to adjust the navy officials on his own, He Chengdong and others changed their expressions.
These officials finally understood why Chen Baxian agreed to allocate warships according to the regulations. For example, under which commander the new ships were assigned, could the admiral simply change the commander? What made them even more frustrated was that after Mr. Liu passed the imperial decree,
He said without hesitation: "What Mr. Chen said on the warship just now was very unpleasant to our family. I will report it to the Queen Mother when I return to the palace, so please take care of yourself!"
After Eunuch Liu walked away, Chen Hao said with a smile: "My lords, the seven armored ships are here. Let's take a look at how the seven warships should be allocated! I will fully adopt your suggestions."
The faces of the officials were extremely ugly. Before Liu Gonggong passed the order, they wished that the warships would be under their command, but now they will not have this idea. The imperial court directly handed over the personnel power of the navy to the admiral. If the new armored ships were under their command,
, the Admiral is worried about himself, so the easiest way is of course to remove himself from his post.
The admiral can do whatever he wants, and the court can't do anything to him anyway, but these NPC officials dare not violate the imperial edict. Now their future is in the hands of the admiral, who can remove them from their posts at any time, and they have no resistance.
confidence.
After thinking about the situation they were facing, a group of officials said feebly: "It's up to the Admiral to make the final decision."
Chen Hao pointed to an officer wearing a new military uniform next to him and said: "I believe everyone is familiar with this Mr. Wu. After the Cam Ranh Bay fleet fought against Tsushima, he went to Cam Ranh Bay and now serves as the commander of the Japanese-controlled ship.
.You are all excellent naval generals. I don’t like to push people to a dead end. If you can unite as one, I will put you to good use.”
"Of course, if someone wants to cause trouble, such as ousting me or something, I will never dare to keep such a person. Now, my lords, express your position! If you are willing to stay in the naval camp, please say so. If you are not willing, I will
You can go where you need to go if you are given money by officials. I think there are many people here who have the support of high-ranking officials. I’m afraid they don’t like this small temple of the Navy. Let’s get together and part ways.”
He Chengdong, who took the lead in opposing Chen Hao, was very smart. He quickly thought of the key to the problem. The admiral was using both kindness and power. If you support him as the naval admiral, Wu Jingrong is the best example. He is a torpedo boat leader.
He became the commander of a battleship. The officials present were more capable than him, and they would definitely have a chance to get ahead.
If you are not loyal to the Admiral, you can only pack up and leave, and don't even think about staying in the naval camp. Now the Admiral has the power of personnel, and he has the support of seven large warships, and also has the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Navy
With his support, no one can shake his position.
It is really a good choice to take refuge in the new admiral. Although the admiral is under the jurisdiction of the governor, the admiral's holy family is not under the governor, and he also has a powerful fleet in his hands. Even the court does not dare to offend him too severely. He
In his words, he pointed out that many people have the support of the governor. He is obviously telling everyone here that if you want to be loyal to him, you must oppose the governor. If an admiral has control of the navy, he will not necessarily suffer a loss if he fights with the governor. It is better for the county magistrate to take charge now.
, if he is dismissed immediately, it will be useless even with the support of the Governor.
He Chengdong took the lead in opposing the admiral. Now that he is ignorant of current affairs, it goes without saying that he will be the first to be operated on. After thinking about it, he said decisively: "I am willing to do my best for the admiral. I hope you will support me in the future."
Chen Hao laughed loudly and said: "I know what Mr. He is capable of. As long as you all work together in the future, I will not treat you badly."
He Chengdong unscrupulously pledged his allegiance to Chen Hao, and after receiving Chen Hao's understanding, other officials expressed their willingness to be loyal. The Guangdong Navy had more than 30 warships and more than 3,000 men in Chen Hao's hands.
In the future, he will gradually hire key NPCs and firmly control the navy.
After the last opposing official pledged his allegiance to Chen Hao, Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, thanks to your kindness and power, you conquered the Guangdong Navy and won the first round of battle with Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Shangguan and Guangxi.
Congratulations, your Machiavellian surname has increased by 1 point."
After Chen Hao conquered the navy, he immediately ordered the rectification of the navy. He assigned seven armored ships to the names of He Chengdong and others. His trust made He Chengdong and others extremely moved, and they had a better impression of him.
In fact, he dared to do this because the officers and soldiers on the seven warships were all NPCs hired by him. He did not have to worry about betrayal. Although these warships were nominally commanded by He Chengdong and others, the warships would not act without his orders.
After the rectification was completed, Chen Hao began to pursue the idea of Huangpu Shipyard again. He must control the shipyard. The Guangdong Navy will supply some new ships in the future, and it will also need to sell warships to maintain military expenses. It only relies on Mawei Shipyard.
A little too thin.
Chen Hao convened a meeting with all officials above the Navy's operational management level. He got straight to the point: "Many ships in the Navy are aging. I am planning to sell some old warships to foreigners and then build some advanced warships. Huangpu Shipyard is our
The key to the prosperity of the Navy must be in our hands no matter what, please tell us what you think!"
He Chengdong took the lead and said: "Sir, the Huangpu Shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the Governor. If he does not agree, we will have difficulty in producing warships. There is some misunderstanding between you and the Governor. It is better to pay a visit. It will be much easier to get the Governor's understanding.
.”
Chen Hao said calmly: "I already visited the governor's office on the day I took office. The governor didn't see me, and I don't want to be humiliated again. Although the shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the governor, it is closely related to our Navy.
I am going to send troops to station, and then recruit technicians to start producing new warships."
He Chengdong said sincerely: "If your Excellency occupies the shipyard without the support of the Governor-General, it will be very difficult for you if the Governor-General does not provide the money to build warships. Besides, the officers and soldiers of our naval battalion are nominally under the control of the Governor-General, and military expenditures are also controlled by the Governor-General."
Your Majesty will allocate it. If he is in trouble with military expenses, it will be very troublesome for Your Majesty to return."
Chen Hao suddenly laughed and said: "I have listened to Mr. He's advice, but the shipyard must be occupied and the warships must be built immediately. As for the military and shipbuilding expenses, I will handle them all. After I defeat the Japanese,
A lot has been seized, and it can be sustained for a short period of time."
"The salary of Cam Ranh Bay general officers is twice as high as that of Navy officers and soldiers. From now on, all Navy officers and soldiers will be based on Cam Ranh Bay standards, and the salaries of all officers and soldiers will be doubled. The salary of all the gentlemen here will be increased by five times at my own discretion, but
If anyone dares to take advantage of the empty salary, I will definitely kill him without mercy."
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
A group of naval officers secretly rejoiced at their choice. This admiral is really tough! With strong strength in his hands, military expenditures can no longer rely on the governor's office. There is really nothing the governor can do against him. Even if the governor reports to the court.
, this is the popular person in Lafayette’s eyes, it’s still uncertain who Lafayette will support!
The officials under his command were very active in doing things. After Chen Hao issued the order, He Chengdong quickly gathered a thousand naval officers and soldiers. Chen Hao ordered Feng Yong to lead a thousand Jinlanwan Marines to follow, and the two thousand troops moved forward in a mighty manner.
In the direction of the shipyard, when they arrived at the gate of the shipyard, two guards were about to intercept them, but they were immediately thrown aside by Feng Yong and his men.
"Stay here, please. The Admiral has ordered that anyone who dares to obstruct the Navy Battalion from doing its business will be shot on the spot."
The two guards did not dare to say anything, and the two thousand soldiers of the Navy Battalion quickly took control of the Huangpu Shipyard. Three NPCs angrily accused the Navy Battalion of misbehaving. These three were NPCs bribed by Ying Yu. Of course, they must be careful when taking money from others.
Chen Hao didn't know their relationship with Ying Yu, but he just needed to kill the chicken to show the monkey, so he immediately ordered the three people to be killed.
After taking full control of the shipyard, Chen Hao ordered Feng Yong to bring 500 technicians and workers from Cam Ranh Bay into the shipyard and take over all key positions in the shipyard. As for the high-level NPCs of the previous shipyard, all were sent to Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard.
After they arrive at Cam Ranh Bay, if they are really capable, they will be reused. If they are useless, they will be prepared to eat and die in Cam Ranh Bay!
Yingyu had been paying attention to the naval camp and the shipyard. After learning that Chen Baxian had taken control of the naval camp and led troops to the shipyard, he immediately went to the Governor's Mansion. After Cen Chunxuan got the news, he was furious and immediately led the guards of the Governor's Mansion to attack him aggressively.
