It has been some time since Su Wangshan left his old club.
Su Wangshan understood since the last time he witnessed the battle between the Navy and Yingte that although the officers and soldiers won in the end, it was still a tragic victory.
There is no way to go through this waterway until the government and army completely suppress the Yingte people.
In order to understand the strength of the official army, Su Wangshan personally brought wine, gold and silver to visit the Wangjiang navy camp, hoping to see when the navy would be able to form a warship suppression of the Yingte people outside Wangjiang.
Unfortunately, our own army has too few warships. Among the official ships that have been built, the battleships have just begun, and it will take at least a year to form combat effectiveness.
From then on, Su Wangshan began to be unemployed, and later had to leave his old employer due to strife in the business.
For this reason, Su Wangshan simply bought a house in Wangjiang and went to Wangjiang Governor's Mansion every day. He even sent his sons and nephews to the navy, just to know when the army could suppress the Yingte people at sea.
On this day, Su Wangshan was sitting at the port, chatting with a few old men who had the same interests, pointing and commenting on the warships in the port.
"Hey, this is not the word zero and one. What happened? How can we still fight if the side ballistae on the warship has been completely dismantled?"
"Which of your eyes saw that this is the Di Zi Zero Zero One ship? I suggest you dig it up. It's a mistake."
"This is definitely a new stern battleship that has been commissioned. I dare to guarantee it with this black heart in my chest. It is definitely a new ship."
The discussion of the three old friends attracted Su Wangshan to look at the warship.
The flat deck is very wide, with only an observation room and the iron chain that fixes the anchor. A dozen sailors and craftsmen are running back and forth on the ship.
It should be a new stern battleship.
Su Wangshan thought firmly in his heart that the oil sheen on the boat had definitely not been corroded by sea water. It must be that the new boat must be Di Zi zero zero two.
The new ships of the army have begun sea trials, so they should be very close to being commissioned.
Great, the Southeast Trade Road is finally opening.
For several days in a row, Su Wangshan went to the harbor every day, just to see if 002 was commissioned.
However, what surprised Su Wangshan was that 002 had not yet started to be installed. 003 and 004 appeared in the port one after another for sea trials.
In just one month, four new stern warships appeared in the port.
Su Wangshan was excited. If these four fighting ships were commissioned into the army at once, they would be four new fleets. It is said that the Yingte people only had six fighting ships in Qi's navy stronghold, and the last time
In the battle, two ships were damaged.
Unless they mobilize new battleships from the Kingdom of England, they will no longer be able to block the southeast trade route, and the day will not be far away when sea routes can be used for trade again.
For this reason, Su Wangshan went to see his old employer and told him about the new warship being commissioned.
The old club also had a far-sighted vision. He originally did not agree with Su Wangshan's departure, but due to internal strife and too many people who opposed Su Wangshan, he could not decide the matter of Fuxiang in one word.
"It's impossible for you to come back."
The boss's words echoed in Su Wangshan's ears. Su Wangshan was a little annoyed. When he came to Fuxiang, he offended a lot of people, but he also helped a lot of people. But now, no one is willing to stand up for him.
What a fuck.
Fortunately, the owner was not a person without foresight and directly provided the money to establish a new fleet and let himself be the manager.
Because he had something to do, Su Wangshan had fewer days to go to the harbor, and the news he had about Zero Zero Two and the others was limited to hearsay.
After three sea trials, the battleships were commissioned and formed into a fleet, and they rarely moored in the port. This made a group of old guys who were worried about the battleships very anxious every day.
Su Wangshan was worried about the cargo number, so he came to the port to watch the ship after drinking with some old friends.
Dong Ling pushed Su Lu to the harbor to meet the British envoy who came to deliver his credentials.
Because he didn't want to cause a big battle, Su Lu didn't let anyone block the port. He just randomly dispatched some guards and let Dong Ling push him into the port.
In order to demonstrate, all six old and new stern warships returned to Wangjiang and anchored in the harbor.
Six tall fighting ships almost filled the berths, and warships of all sizes filled the harbor. Looking around, one could hardly see the water.
Su Lu stopped on the shore, and Dong Ling said next to him:
"Your Majesty, these are all your fault."
"With six fighting ships, all the pirates and pirates around them have been wiped out. The three major bandits in the southeast and the twelve bandits in the east of the sea are now a thing of the past. Our fighting ships have sailed as far as the Luo River.
."
"The British people must have come to protest this time."
Not far away, Su Wangshan looked at the two of them, took a few steps over, and asked curiously:
"You two are invited. I'm down at Suwang Mountain. I just heard my wife say from a distance that the Yingte people are here to protest. I don't know what the explanation is for this protest."
The guards lurking in the crowd all around moved and formed a partial siege in a short time. Once Su Wangshan made any move, they would explode.
Dong Ling waved his hand to signal Gao Dabao next to him to calm down, and then said with a smile:
"It's just that the Yingte people are dissatisfied with us and come to our door to start a war. They won't let us sail on the territory they have occupied us."
Su Wangshan suddenly realized after hearing this, "So that's how it is."
"But why do the Intelites protest? Our stern battleships have just formed a fleet, so they are not their opponents yet. What do they have to protest?"
Dong Ling said with a smile:
"Ten days ago, our fighting ship arrived in Luojiang and attacked an Yingte cargo ship."
Su Wangshan's breathing became heavy and his face turned red.
"Madam, do you dare to ask if this news is true?"
Gao Dabao muttered beside him: "What Master Dong Ling said can still be false."
Dong Ling said with a smile: "It's really not true. We'll find out later when the Yingte people come."
Su Wangshan suddenly shook his head, "No, no, the Yingte people have at least four fighting ships, and they are all experienced in battles. They are definitely not afraid of us. If we dare to attack the Yingte cargo ship, they will definitely fight.
Came back."
The people nearby also gathered around and agreed.
"Yes, Yingte people are not vegetarians. They can tolerate it without saying anything after suffering a loss."
"This woman is just bragging. We who are so loyal to the emperor don't even think that this kind of thing can happen."
"Hey, it would be great if Yingte could really come to protest. It means they can't defeat our army."
"Stop dreaming about spring and autumn. It will be fine in a few years when our fighting ships have become proficient in using them and the boys have dared to fight."
Various voices of discussion came together.
However, the topic discussed by these people changed again to how to become proficient as quickly as possible and dare to fight as soon as possible.
Su Wangshan was no exception. He was attracted by the topic and began to speak at length and express his own opinions.
Dong Ling pouted, squatted next to the wheelchair, rested his chin on Su Lu's arm, and looked up at Su Lu.
"Master, why didn't you say anything just now? We are really no weaker than the Yingte people now."
"coming"
Su Lu patted Dong Ling's head and said with a smile.
