The third military officer knelt down. Hearing Liu Hai's question, he immediately felt a mixture of emotions. He now felt like a child who had been wronged outside and finally found his parents.
"Commander, I am really suffering." At this point, Sanhon Gonbei began to sob involuntarily.
Liu Hai looked at his unpromising look, frowned, and then said: "You are too young, and you are the Minister of the Navy. How can you behave like a daughter? You quickly wiped your tears, stood up and told me what you want.
No matter what grievance you have, I will make the decision for you."
The three powerful soldiers didn't hear Liu Hai giving him the decision. He immediately wiped his tears, stood up, bowed deeply to Liu Hai again, and then said: "Commander, you don't know, we were originally
We ordered two battleships from the Geely Kingdom, but now the Geely Kingdom has gone back on its word and not only will they not deliver the warships, they will not even refund the money spent on the warships.”
Liu Hai heard that there were some differences here. Now is an era that pays attention to reputation. If this Geely country is so shameless, who will dare to do business with them in the future.
"What exactly is going on? Tell me carefully from beginning to end."
"Yes, Marshal."
Yamamoto Gon calmed down his mood, organized his words, and then said again: "Just some time ago, we sent to the Gili Kingdom to receive several warships, and by the way, all the staff who supervised the construction of the warships were removed from the factory.
Kicked out."
"We didn't know what was going on at the time. The diplomats in the Gili country immediately negotiated with the Gili government, and the reply they received was that these warships had been requisitioned due to urgent need and then sold to friendly countries."
"Later, when we inquired, it turned out that the Geely Kingdom sold these two warships to Li Hongzhang of the Beiyang Navy."
When Sanbon Gonbei said this, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Liu Hai's face. Li Hongzhang of the Beiyang Navy, no matter how he was not, he was also a member of the Qing Dynasty. He and Liu Hai naturally stood together, not knowing that they
What action will this commander take after knowing that it was Li Hongzhang who caused the trouble?
After Liu Hai heard this, there was no expression on his face. In fact, he had already thought about it in his mind.
This guy seems to have united the Manchurian court and the Gili Kingdom to deal with him, otherwise they would not have suddenly sold these two warships to the Qing Dynasty.
As a result, Sanbenquanbei and the others lost two battleships, which was also a loss for Liu Hai. However, Liu Hai's enemies, the Beiyang Navy and Li Hongzhang, increased their strength and were finally able to contain Liu Hai in the Far East. See
This is the idea behind coming to Geely Country.
"Then what happened to the final payment for the warship?"
"Replying to the Commander-in-Chief, we were helpless after receiving the news that the Geely Kingdom had repented. In the end, we thought that we just couldn't get the warship, so we could get the money back or buy it from other countries."
"So the diplomats negotiated with the Navy Ministry of Kyrgyzstan, hoping to return the payment for the warship."
"What do the British say?"
When Sanben Quanbing heard Liu Hai's question, he immediately became indignant, "Commander, Geely's reply is that our contract to purchase warships from Geely has not been invalidated. Geely will build two warships at the appropriate time."
Give it to us and let us wait patiently at home."
Liu Hai was so angry that he slapped the table when he heard this. This was obviously because the Geely Kingdom wanted to blackmail the money, saying that there was no appropriate time to build a warship again. It would probably be hundreds of years before they built a warship.
Liu Hai was very angry now. You must know that the Japanese navy is now almost a squadron of the Nanyang Navy. If Ji Liguo surrenders their warships, it is equivalent to cheating his Nanyang Navy warships.
"You go back first. I know about this matter. I will give you an answer after I finish negotiating with Geely Kingdom."
After hearing what Liu Hai said, Sanben Quan Bingmei left happily. Although Liu Hai did not give her a positive answer in person, as long as Liu Hai said a word, he was relieved, because in his opinion, in the past
Liu Hai's strength will never suffer the loss of being dumb.
After Shan Sanquan's soldiers had not left, Liu Hai could no longer bear the anger in his heart and threw the cup in his hand on the ground.
After Liu Hai took the tea cup on the table with a murderous look, he immediately shouted to the guards outside: "Go and call all the masters, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."
After Liu Hai finished shouting, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside about the time it took him to burn incense, and then his bodyguard said outside: "Master, several gentlemen have arrived."
"Let them in."
Following Liu Hai's voice, the door curtain outside rang, and then Zhao Jiahua and several other Liu Hai's staff entered the study.
After these people entered the study, they looked up and saw Liu Hai with a gloomy face and a broken tea cup on the ground. They knew that Liu Hai was angry about something.
These people quickly put away their original smiling faces, saluted Liu Hai seriously, and then stood on both sides waiting, waiting for Liu Hai to speak.
When Liu Hai saw them coming, he did not sit down for them this time, but asked angrily: "Do you know about the Japanese warship seized by the Geely Kingdom?"
The staff looked at each other, and then all focused their eyes on Zhao Jiahua.
Zhao Jiahua was also helpless. Whenever something like this happened, they would push him out, but who made him the chief staff member? He could only answer this kind of thing first.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the three military girls have been hanging around the gate of the Governor's Mansion every day for the past two days. We have also heard a little bit about his arrival."
After hearing this, Liu Hai said angrily: "Geely Country is going too far to bully others. There is a saying that when you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. If he beat my dog, isn't he afraid of my revenge?"
After listening to Liu Hai's words, Zhao Jiahua clearly felt the murderous intent in Liu Hai's tone. However, in Zhao Jiahua's view, although Liu Hai's current military power is very powerful, it is still far behind the Geely Kingdom that dominates the earth. When encountering this kind of
For the time being, things can only be reduced from big things to trivial matters.
So Zhao Jiahua took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and then persuaded: "Sir, the Geely Kingdom now dominates the world and is very powerful. It is not something that we can compete with. In my opinion, the commander-in-chief might as well endure this breath for the time being.
, after we drive out the Tartars and restore China, it will not be too late to rely on the material strength of the entire China to compete with them."
Under normal circumstances, Zhao Jiahua's words are just good advice, because what Liu Hai can rely on now is only the Liangjiang area of the Qing Dynasty.
But compared to the British Empire, these territories are not even comparable to the leftovers of the British Empire.
But for Liu Hai, his biggest reliance was not the strength of the Qing Dynasty, but the modern world factory.
Liu Hai didn't pay attention to the Geely Kingdom in this plane at all. If there was a conflict and a full-scale war, as long as there were enough people, he could organize an army of tens of millions and directly bulldoze the Geely Kingdom.
"This matter can't just be let go. If it is let go this time, the Geely Kingdom will definitely take advantage of it. Which one of you should go to the Geely State consulate to negotiate with them and ask them to deliver the warship immediately. Otherwise, I will not be able to do it for my own benefit.
No further measures will be taken.”
Zhao Chuanren stood below and listened to Liu Hai's words at this time, his brows furrowed tightly, he thought for a while but still stood up and said to Liu Hai: "Commander, although we defeated the Geely Kingdom expedition fleet last time, I passed the message
I learned that Britain now has dozens of ironclads and more than 20 battleships. If their navy comes in full force, even if we have four giant ships, we may not be able to stop so many warships."
Zhao Chuanren's words just spoke to the hearts of other staff members. Since they joined Liu Hai, they have not limited their sights to the Qing Dynasty. They also use various channels to understand the situation in the world today.
This understanding shocked them greatly, and at the same time they began to lament that they were frogs in the well before.
Just because he knew more and more about foreign countries, the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper. This time they saw Liu Hai wanting to go against the Geely Kingdom, so they were all frightened, and then they came out to persuade him.
After hearing Zhao Chuanren's words, Liu Hai didn't feel angry at all. If he didn't have a trump card, even Liu Hai, as a time traveler, wouldn't dare to make trouble on Tai Sui's head.
But now Liu Hai is not afraid of those so-called warships at all. There are now 10 missile ships in Liu Hai's space. These warships carry hundreds of various anti-ship missiles.
As long as the Geely Kingdom dares to come, Liu Hai will destroy all their proud fleets at the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, Shang Liuhai confidently said to several staff: "You don't have to worry about them. This time, your master, I have ordered ten more powerful battleships, plus 4 Huangdi-class (Iowa-class) battleships.
I will destroy as many as he comes."
When the several staff below heard that Liu Hai had bought another warship, they were overjoyed at first, and then asked: "Commander, how do our newly purchased warships compare to the Huangdi, these four warships?"
After hearing this, Liu Hai touched the non-existent beard on his chin, and then said proudly: "These ten newly purchased battleships are more powerful than four battleships. With these ten battleships, I
It can sweep across the entire Geely Kingdom."
Several staff members below were relieved after hearing what Liu Hai said. They knew that although their master would sometimes get carried away, he would never lie to others.
Since Liu Hai said that the 10 newly purchased battleships are more powerful than the 4 Huangdi battleships, that is for sure.
Therefore, these people looked at each other and thought in their minds. If the 10 newly purchased warships are really more powerful than the four behemoths, then there is nothing wrong with them really falling out with the Geely Kingdom.
Besides, it is impossible for the Geely Kingdom to send all their battleships to them. In this case, with these 14 battleships, the British really have nothing to do against us.
