News of Wu Dianying's death in battle soon spread to Wuhan. Zhang Zhidong's already severely injured body became even worse after receiving the news.
By this time, Zhang Zhidong was no longer in the mood to care about bangs anymore. He directly ordered the border to be guarded and not to provoke bangs.
At the same time, in order to let Liu Hai know that he had no ill intentions on his side, he ordered the trade at the border to be liberalized. Yes, Huguang area and Liangjiang area can conduct various exchanges smoothly.
Liu Hai learned about Zhang Zhidong's order after the second day.
At this time, Liu Hai discovered that modern air power was a powerful weapon in ancient times. The dignified governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, only lasted three days and was defeated.
At this point, Liu Hai became more confident in his Northern Expedition. Even Zhang Zhidong was like this, and those veteran soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were even more vulnerable.
After settling Zhang Zhidong's matter, Liu Hai also formally ordered Liu Zhi to lead his troops to cross the Yangtze River and attack the north.
After Liu Zhi received Liu Hai's order, he immediately organized his troops and slowly headed north.
Since this march was on our own land, the march was very fast. After crossing the Yangtze River, the army entered Anhui, then went all the way north to Suzhou, and finally stationed in Xuzhou.
Once here, it can be said that we have entered the forward position, and further up is the territory of Shandong.
Moreover, the army had been traveling for such a long time without rest, so it had to take a short rest again to wait for logistical supplies before heading north in one fell swoop.
However, Liu Hai's navy is temporarily holding back, because this time Liu Hai wants to transport 200,000 troops to the north, and the number of transport ships under his command is too small to support such a large maritime transport.
If someone else encountered this situation, they would have no choice but to give up the idea of crossing the sea and heading north, but Liu Hai had a big rear. Now that she was in trouble, she would naturally seek help.
Therefore, Liu Hai took advantage of this relatively peaceful period to quietly return to modern times.
Liu Hai's return to modern times is different from before. In the past, the oil and minerals he brought were all in small quantities.
But this time Liu Hai brought a large amount of oil and a large amount of iron ore.
The amount of oil alone has reached 100 million barrels, and the iron ore has also reached 100 million tons. Liu Hai wants to use these things in exchange for ships for his Northern Expedition.
As Liu Hai's special contact person, Zhang Tao was very concerned about Liu Hai's whereabouts. As soon as Liu Hai appeared in his villa, Zhang Tao's side had already discovered traces of Liu Hai.
Now, Zhang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Why? It turned out that Liu Hai had not returned to modern times for a long time because he was fighting and dealing with matters in the court.
So Zhang Tao was a little anxious, he was afraid that his bangs would never come back.
After Liu Hai came back, he did not contact Zhang Tao that day but had a good reunion with his wife Wang Fang and played with his son for a while.
On the second day, Liu Hai calmly picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Tao.
"Brother Zhang, I'm back. Do you have time? Let's get together."
"How dare I refuse your big boss's request? Tell me, where is it?"
Liu Hai thought for a while, and now that his identity is sensitive, it is better not to go out to the limelight, "Come to my house, let Wang Fang cook some dishes, and we brothers will have a drink."
"Okay, just wait, I'll be there now."
After Zhang Tao put down the phone, he couldn't wait to leave his headquarters and drove straight to Liu Hai's villa.
Liu Hai's villa area is now loose on the outside and tight on the inside! The security guards in their community have now all been replaced by personnel from the security department, and even a large part of the residents inside have been replaced by reliable insiders.
So when Zhang Tao came to the gate, he just showed his ID and easily entered the villa area and arrived at Liu Hai's magnificent residence.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Hai holding his son and playing with him.
The son of Liu Hai Modern is now two years old, which is a very cute age.
Since Liu Hai was often away from home, when Liu Gang came back, the child was still a little unfamiliar with Liu Hai. However, after a day of contact, the child has now become attached to Liu Hai. Even Wang Fang could not remove the child from Liu Hai.
Take it away.
Zhang Tao acted as if he had arrived at his own home. After entering the door, he sat directly on the sofa opposite Liu Hai and said, "I went to the warehouse yesterday and I brought back a lot of things this time."
"There's a big deal this time, and I don't have much to bring. How can I get enough money?"
Zhang Tao's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a big deal, and then he hesitated. Could it be that Liu Hai wanted to purchase weapons on a large scale this time?
Zhang Tao felt a little anxious when he thought of this, because Liu Hai wanted to purchase weapons on a large scale, which meant that he was in a bad situation on that side and needed to use modern advanced weapons to save the war situation.
However, bangs are the only connection to modern Tong's plane, and he cannot lose his foundation in another plane no matter what.
So Zhang Tao said with a serious face: "We will try our best to support you in whatever you need."
Liu Hai looked at Zhang Tao's serious expression and knew that he was wrong. However, Liu Hai did not break the window. If the other party continued to make false offers, he would be able to give himself the biggest discount and save a lot of money.
So Liu Hai followed Zhang Tao's idea and said with a sad face: "Brother Zhang, let me tell you the truth, it's really not easy for me. Even though I make a lot of money now, in fact, I don't really get much."
Zhang Tao also nodded when he heard this. In fact, he knew clearly that if he wanted to support the construction of a country with the little money Liu Hai earned, it would be a drop in the bucket.
"This time, brother, I have encountered difficulties from all sides. Now I am asking Brother Zhang for help."
"Brother, we have been together for such a long time. If you need anything, just say it."
When Liu Hai heard this, his eyes rolled around, and now he was thinking carefully.
Since he has not returned to modern times for a long time, Liu Hai used the Internet to learn more about the development of modern times when he came back yesterday.
Liu Hai was shocked by this inspection. The current development is simply advancing by leaps and bounds. Even the aircraft carrier purchased from the Rakshasa Kingdom has been decommissioned.
The aircraft carriers currently owned by the country are all built by itself, and their quality and aircraft carrying capacity are already comparable to those of Citigroup.
Liu Hai has now taken a liking to this decommissioned aircraft carrier. In Liu Hai's mind, he should be a trustworthy partner, and the country should be able to sell this aircraft carrier to itself, which can be regarded as a waste.
"Brother Zhang, although I have bought many warships from us, they are all old-fashioned. I think our country has decommissioned an aircraft carrier. Can you repair this aircraft carrier and sell it directly to me?"
Zhang Tao frowned after hearing this. He didn't expect Liu Hai's appetite to be so big that he wanted an aircraft carrier directly.
Zhang Tao can't make the decision in this matter, "Brother, I can't make the decision in this matter. I can contact you and check the situation."
Liu Hai knew that he couldn't rush this matter and needed to take his time, so he turned the topic to other directions.
"Brother Zhang, what happened to the 054a frigate I purchased from our country? It's been several years, and I still haven't been given any accurate information."
Zhang Tao blushed a little when he heard this. Liu Haihou originally bought ten 054a frigates and had them built, but they were all transferred to other places.
"Brother, don't be too anxious. It takes more than a day or two to recruit these warships. Let me give you some more encouragement."
In fact, Liu Hai is not in urgent need of these warships, because the 10 missile ships currently in hand are enough for Liu Hai to protect his own maritime territory.
"Well, Brother Zhang, please try your best to urge me. Just give me an answer when I come back next time."
"No problem, I'll take care of this matter." Zhang Tao said this, but he was thinking in his heart that he would have to fight a lawsuit with the Navy this time when he went back. If they intercepted purchases from other countries like they did,
warships, then the country’s credibility will not collapse.
After Liu Hai said these things, he finally changed the topic to buying a transport ship.
Zhang Tao once again had a sincere smile on his face when he heard that Liu Hai wanted to purchase transport ships on a large scale.
There are a large number of retired transport ships of the Navy parked at the military port. Selling them can not only make money for the Navy, but also free up a large number of berths. Why not?
"How much do you need?"
Liu Hai thought for a while, but this time he had to transport 200,000 soldiers northward and couldn't do it without a few, so he said directly, "I need at least 100 ocean-going transport ships. Can Brother Zhang get it for me?"
As soon as Zhang Tao heard Liu Hai's words, the sip of tea he just took into his mouth sprayed directly onto the table.
Liu Hai saw Zhang Tao being so excited and thought to himself that this big deal of his would make the other party a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited that he would spit out tea.
As a result, Zhang Tao wiped his mouth, glared at Liu Hai and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? With so many special transport ships for the navy, I'm afraid even Citigroup can't come up with them for you."
After hearing this, Liu Hai was a little puzzled. You know that large-scale transportation of troops in modern times is not once or twice, so why can't we get together a transport ship?
Zhang Tao also knew that Liu Hai was a dabbler and hurriedly explained to him: "If you really want to transport troops on a large scale, the navy's special transport ships will definitely not be enough. This requires the secondment of civilian ships."
Liu Hai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he could only ask Zhang Tao for help again.
"Brother Zhang, I will leave it to you. No matter what, you can help me get 100 transport ships. Whether they are military or civilian, I will accept them all here."
"Are you in a hurry? If not, I can place an order for you at the shipyard now, so that they can carry out special construction based on your opinions."
As soon as Liu Hai heard this suggestion, he shook his head like a rattle. If the ship was built now, the day lily would be cold.
