Chapter 1305 The Queen's Hands Are Too Long
Du Fei asked Vincent to sit down, and asked directly without any hesitation: "What's wrong with you? You have two dark circles under your eyes, almost catching up with the panda."
Vincent smiled bitterly and complained: "My uncle hasn't stepped down yet, and someone wants to please the new master." Sure enough, Du Fei guessed it right, but this kind of flattery is not uncommon.
Du Fei is more concerned about the purpose of Vincent's personal visit.
Before, Du Fei sent a telegram just to ask about the fleet's visit to Yajiada, and didn't say anything else.
Normal Vincent would have been enough to reply with a telegram, and the situation there was not good, so there was no need to come again.
Now that Vincent is here, it means that he has more important things to say.
Sure enough, Vincent said: "Du, you asked me in the telegram about the inside story of this active fleet." Du Fei nodded and listened to her next words.
Vincent was calm and composed: "In fact, this matter is in line with the temporary replacement of the Governor of Hong Kong. They are all orders from the highest level, directly from Duke Philip, but everyone knows that Duke Philip has no political power, and everything he has comes from the Queen."
The leader is the commander of that voyage, Lewis Duojiang.
It is certain that he knows the other party's intentions, and Li Jing only thinks that it is my unilateral intention to prevent the fleet from reaching Nanyang. Li Jing took out the architectural structure diagram of the hotel and listened while looking at the diagram.
Once the fleet arrives at Yajiada, it will be the smallest support for Ma Sangu, and Li Jing must stop it.
Li Jiapo shrugged and said, "They will definitely die, but the worst is to use guns. He knows that this is a very bad ending. If something unexpected happens, it will be very wrong."
Li Jiapo's heart trembled and instantly heard the sound of Li Jing's strings.
What's more, this is the first time to cooperate with Lundun's capital constitutionalists, and it is necessary to show off their muscles and let the other party see their strength. It was bad cooperation before.
Although the fleet looks bluffing, it is just a bunch of chicken feathers to make a duster. If we really face dozens of missile boats and launch anti-ship missiles directly from dozens of kilometers away, those ships are just small live targets.
I am a foolish person. I know that Li Jing will help for nothing. When we get benefits, we must give Wan Qing the same return.
But just that cruiser of less than 10,000 tons can still deeply touch my heart. Wan Qingcheng said: "He said, you help him convey it."
Li Jing smiled and said: "You know, it's a pity that we don't have a ready-made shipyard. When the time comes, we can tow it back and repair it quickly." Thinking of that, Wan Qing looked at Wan Qingcheng again.
Whether Li Jiapo did that or not, it was not because I talked about friendship with Li Jing, but I was also satisfied with Lun Dun's attitude, but I was not qualified to say yes, so I could only find someone who could say it and bargain for me.
Sure enough, Li Jiapo continued: "Du, I think he is willing for us to come to Nanyang, right? Otherwise, he would have sent you a telegram to ask about that matter."
Wan Qing prepared for two days and arrived in Subian by boat under an alias.
Ma Sangu thought she had found help, but in fact, she was inviting thieves.
Kuching has never had any staff stationed in Subian, neither open nor hidden.
Wan Qing's words were understated, but Wan Qingcheng heard the deep meaning and immediately said: "It is certain that Wei Dufei suddenly had a problem. According to the current situation, your uncle will continue to act as the governor."
There was no mention of it, and the little people like Lun Dun were only responsible for providing unlimited help.
Wan Qing looked at the photos given by Wan Qingcheng. The middle-aged fat Duojiang had a small belly, which made the white navy uniform stick out backwards.
It is also possible to allow even a little bit of testing, even if it is only in the farthest Nanyang, a little big action is also OK.
Vincent and the other seven did not know the real purpose of Li Jing coming there. Later, Li Jing only asked us to investigate some situations in the Raffles Hotel.
And Li Jing also saw that Li Jiapo did not intend to reveal that situation to me. Li Jiapo smiled bitterly, of course I know that too much.
The seven people knew that there was no one around Li Jing who was a low-handed person, which could be called a saint in the flesh and a human immortal on land.
First of all, because of Li Jing's appearance, Huaguo's strength was weaker, and coupled with last year's failure, it seemed full of oppression.
That place was far away from the Raffles Hotel, and the white crow brigade could not easily overlook the Raffles Hotel on the opposite side.
Li Jiapo moved his buttocks and continued: "Because of the economic constraints before the war, the original Far East Fleet sealed a batch of destroyers and frigates in Xiangjiang."
The male king cannot exist, but it can only be symbolic, and it is absolutely not allowed to restore the royal power.
Although those people are marginal figures, they are managed by the county magistrate. If you want to get the ship, you have to feed the world. In fact, this result is also expected by Du Fei.
As the gangway was lowered, most of the junior officers under the ship came up in navy uniforms. The two looked at each other and understood each other.
Next, it depends on Wan Qing's methods.
It is the other party who is responsible for setting questions, and I am responsible for answering them.
Of course, I can't take Li Jing's interests into consideration, but that cooperation or the deal that each party gets what it wants will also fall through. Wan Qing can mourn for Wan Qingcheng. If a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache.
Li Jing said: "
Those ships are our friendship, but Lun Dun's side" Li Jiapo said: "By the way, you heard that Sarawak has always been short of warships."
Li Jing unfolded the structural diagram and looked at it, then turned to look at Li Jiapo, and said with a smile: "He is planning to let you kill the lower-level of the fleet in Subian? Is it so cruel?"
Subian was not originally the base of the Yingguo fleet, and the port had sufficient berths.
Li Jing stood on the seventh floor next to the harbor, looking at the people welcoming and celebrating above with warm eyes.
Li Jing reached out and patted Li Jiapo's shoulder: "You heard that the incoming governor, Lady Widuffy, is also in Subian now. I believe she will reunite with the fleet at that time."
Eight days ago, the sky seemed to be less willing to favor the Yingguo people.
Wan Qing's thoughts turned around, and when he came to his senses, the entire fleet had not yet appeared. Li Jing was sure that Li Jiapo had not yet been mentioned.
Now that you know about the affairs of the Yi and Shi families, you just give a little information that is painful or itchy, and then take a building plan, and you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. What a joke.
Especially when they saw Ci Xin next to them, their eyes were as bad as electric shocks, and they immediately looked away. It is difficult for me to agree with the behavior of those people, whether it is after the time travel or now.
It turns out that the so-called fleet returned to Nanyang, and there was no ulterior motive. It was not that the Yingguo people planned to rent the Palembang in Sumatra as a backup for Xiangjiang at the right time, and become the fulcrum of the Royal Navy in the Nanyang region.
At the same time, the people who delayed their preparations waved big flags inside the cordon, as if welcoming their relatives.
Just at that time, something happened to Yindi again, which gave the Yingguo people no chance to take advantage of it.
The seven people were very unrestrained in their actions. They conducted an unlimited investigation in the inner circle to avoid alerting the enemy as much as possible. The male king, or the royal power faction's temptation, was immediately met with a mild counterattack from the other faction.
It is also a very technical job to scrap the sealed warships.
The first ship to break through the haze was the flagship Hampton, a small boat with a displacement of 15,000 tons. Although it was an old gunboat over 70 years old, it still gave people a shocking feeling even at this time.
Standing at the bottom of the gangway and walking up, his chin slightly lowered, he looked very arrogant. Wan Qing saw it, but he felt a little bit of it in his heart.
Li Jing understood instantly that a destroyer cost $100,000, which was really expensive.
The view from outside was very bad. One could see a small part of the port area, and also the welcoming ceremony prepared for the fleet's visit.
Because those people were permanent, it was impossible for them to be discovered by the other side, whether they were open or covert. However, just those few broken ships were enough.
Although it looked very messy, it did not have a rough beauty. From outside, it could be seen that the British Empire was indeed on the decline.
The sharp and low bow split the sea surface, with two eight-mounted turrets arranged in steps on the front, and in front of the turrets were low bridges and various antennas that were remodeled for modernization.
Li Jing looked at the structural diagram in his hand again and said lightly: "Is it what Lundun meant?"
Especially when Li Jing was in need of more ships, Li Jiapo's move was a timely help. Even if the Yingguo people were planning to stab Ma Sangu in the back, it was enough to explain something.
Just yesterday, Wan Qing saw the newspaper advocating that the Yingguo fleet would return permanently and return to Wan Qingcheng. Li Jing asked, "How much do you think it will take for seven ships?"
Wan Qing said with a smile, "Then you can continue to cooperate with me~"
After all, Xiangjiang, which they regarded as their foundation and had operated for many years, was taken away just like that.
Li Jiapo said, "One hundred thousand US dollars per ship. The commander-in-chief Lundite, who is currently guarding the sealed materials, is about to go to rest and prepare to move to Meiguo."
Even if the real body of Master Liu Xian was there, he might not be able to defeat the man in the white dress.
Li Jiapo was silent for two seconds and nodded, "Yes, that time the king stretched his hand too far."
It is not to say that there is a small probability that Wan Qingcheng has not known the information after Wan Qing sent the telegram, and the hotel building structure diagram is in my hand
In Li Jing's impression, it seems that there is no such situation after crossing, and it is very likely that my appearance has caused some changes.
Li Jiapo stayed in Kuching for a few days and communicated with Lundun through telegrams.
It can be said that he can do it, so he can discuss with the questioner to change the question. At most, I still have the qualifications now. Seven old destroyers~
Even if it is not the Queen's order this time, it is difficult to change anything with Vincent's family's connections in Lundun.
Wan Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after listening to Li Jiapo's narration, and he was a little unbelievable.
At most, in the small piece of land in Nanyang, these two heavy cruisers alone are enough to show off their power.
Although preventing the fleet from arriving in Nanyang is the main purpose, the smallest threat to Li Jiapo and my family is Lady Wan Qing.
She took out a brown paper file bag from her briefcase and said: "That is the architectural structure diagram of the hotel." Finally, an agreement was reached and Li Jing's request was rejected.
Wan Qing came to the scene with a kind heart and sat on the seventh floor of a cafe near the pier.
Li Jing has never seen this kind of super battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons and a caliber of nearly half a meter. He can only see it on TV or video, and he can't experience this shock.
Li Jing smiled playfully. There really is no internal fighting anywhere. The current Yingguo male king is only in his seventies, which is quite old for a political figure. You are obviously too satisfied with the power in your hands being emptied bit by bit.
We are not forced, but welcome from the bottom of our hearts, as if these huge ships are really here to protect us
Li Jiapo continued: "Among them, two of the 'tribal-class' destroyers and two 'wartime' destroyers were built in 1948. They were basically sealed up after being used. He must want them, and you can't find a way."
Li Jingdao: "The Kingdom of Sarawak joins the Commonwealth trading system as an independent entity and enjoys the basic rights of members."
Wan Qing nodded. If he had anything to hide about that, he could hide it. He kept speaking harshly, but it seemed sincere.
The male king group chose Nawai and wanted to give it a try. At that moment, there was a sudden commotion among the people above.
Obviously Li Jiapo did not have that kind of ability, and that was the reason why I immediately came to see Li Jing in person before receiving the telegram. The reason was also very complicated, because the Dai Zhilin family where Li Jiapo belonged was being suppressed.
And Li Jiapo must act as a vanguard to cut off the outstretched hand of the royal power faction, and it is not that fleet. Li Jingze decided to go to Wan Qingcheng in person.
Li Jinglai didn't alert those people.
Loving kindness spoke throughout the whole process, but just followed silently, as if you were completely present.
Finally, a few minutes ago, the first warship broke through the sea fog and revealed its true gray appearance. Just by visiting in person, you can also give Li Jing a favor.
The ships docked one after another, and the band that had been waiting for the dock immediately stopped playing.
However, it is possible to make an estimate in vain. With Li Jiapo's ability to at least provide convenience, it is possible to take it directly. The next day, Li Jiapo took a plane back to Xiangjiang to go to the ships I planned to "give" to Li Jing.
All in all, it is much weaker than selling scrap metal.
Lewis curled his lips slightly, but as a courtesy, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with the seven of them. But then I thought about it, and it seemed like something was possible.
Before Huaxia lost "Dingyuan Zhenyuan" in the late Qing Dynasty, it completely missed the era of small ships and giant cannons. Li Jing got on the boat, and Vincent and his wife came to the dock to pick them up.
"Of course, I hope so." Li Jiapo was slightly excited. He was sure that being able to deal with Baroness Wei Dufei at the same time would be a decisive change for my family and me.
Li Jiapo knows what's appropriate. As Li Jing said, the boat is our friendship and Baroness Widuffey's life-paying price, but the price was the same in Huandun that time.
Li Jiapo nodded. That request was too much. Sarawak was originally in the British colonial system, not to mention that the current king in name was still the later Earl of Yingguo.
Du Fei understood what he meant, which was that it was almost impossible to seek change from within Yingguo.
When Wan Qing heard this, his heart suddenly moved. Although it was an old ship from the Seventh World War and was now seventy years old, the current Kuching Navy had the qualifications to be picky.
Initially, Vincent and his wife still believed in each other, but it was not until they saw Ci Xin for the first time that they truly understood what it meant to be weak.
Li Jiapo added: "I have explained in advance that although it is a new ship, it has been in operation for seventy years. If you want to use it,
Renovation would be very expensive. "
In addition to Cixin, Ding Sitian also came with them, as well as Dawu and Dabai's crow brigade, as well as two mice, Dahong and Dahui. In the sequel, there was also an elite group of seventy people led by Eagle. Brigade.
A few days ago, the assembled fleet left the Red Sea in a mighty manner and arrived at the southern part of Indu. It stayed for a day and continued eastward.
It shows that the Dai Zhilin family has almost lost the right to speak in Huandun. Wan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing that Li Jiapo could grasp that information.
You must have lost a whole hundred years since the Sino-Japanese War. It was not until Li Jing traveled through the world decades ago that the 055 small drive took to the water to regain its sense of existence under the sea.
According to the plan, we will stay in Subian for eight days and continue to Jakarta.
Li Jing took a sip of tea, understood the general situation, and said in a deep voice: "Li Jiapo, you are friends, and preventing that fleet from reaching Nanyang was also your original purpose. But now, a new situation has arisen, and they are trying to Dun's allies have the same purpose." Li Jing shook the hotel building structure diagram in his hand: "We have paid too much."
It's just that I know what I'm saying, let it go and move on.
Ruo Ran completely thought that before receiving Wan Qing's telegram, he pretended to reveal the relevant information to Li Jing.
According to the information provided by Li Jiapo, when the fleet arrived in Subian
Before that, Wilson will hold a reception there, and then the lower level of the fleet will stay there.
It was rainy on the day when the fleet arrived in Subian. Although Wilson prepared a grand welcome ceremony, it was not covered with a layer of gloom.
Unfortunately, the male king still overestimated the vigilance and restrictions placed on the royal family by the vested interest groups in Luandun. The last stop will be Subian guarding the Malacca Strait.
I know it is an illusion. There is obviously a small height difference between the two of them, but when they stand together, Wilson is not a head shorter.
The corners of Li Jiapo's mouth turned up, hey hey twice, and said in a high voice: "We will stay in Wanqingcheng for eight days on the way and stay at the Raffles Hotel arranged by Erson."
Wilson had been waiting on the gangway for a long time. He took two steps back, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hands to shake hands.
But I am not qualified to bargain with these little people like Huandun, so I can only passively accept it. Li Jing looking for us is tantamount to exposing himself.
We found Li Jiapo.
Li Jing sighed and waited silently for the celebration to begin. The officers who came up from the boat were picked up. The celebrating people left a mess on the ground, and then I got up and left.
Moreover, from the time Li Jing sent the telegram to now, excluding the time when Li Jiapo was on the road, there was almost no time to investigate and prepare detailed architectural structural drawings of the hotel.
Outside the Raffles Hotel, there was another scene of revelry.
Li Jing could not help but narrowed his eyes slightly and smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.
Being able to have a low-handed person like Ci Xin follow him with all his heart, makes us feel more and more that Li Jingshen is unpredictable. Maybe that's not a prelude to colonization, so how can it be the case in the future in the East and South?
Although a few destroyers from the Seventh World War do not have much combat effectiveness today, they are still small ships with a displacement of two to eight thousand tons, and they can still be used around the South China Sea.
After a few more minutes, with the low sound of the whistle, the fleet approached the port area. Moreover, the current situation is not very different from the world after Li Jing traveled through.
At that time, Li Jiapo actually knew that the fleet would stop in Subian and knew which hotel to stay in. That was an ability that Wan Qingcheng should not have.
But that conspiracy was not against me, but against the Yingguo fleet.
Correspondingly, the Yingguo people's control in Xiangjiang has been slightly strengthened, which can be seen from the fact that Lei Luo is now the deputy director.
At that moment, the little Master Liuxian we worshiped conveyed the emotion of fear.
But having said that, even if it is a living target, if Yishi gives that fleet to Li Jing now, I will definitely accept it happily.
The two of them swallowed and became more respectful to Li Jing.
But Li Jing is the same, and Li Jing absolutely needs to be wary of the emotions of these so-called little people. It must be nothing more than that. It is absolutely necessary for Wan Qingcheng to come in person.
The two knew about Li Jing's situation and behaved very respectfully.
Li Jing thought to himself, of course he had to take it, no matter what.
As I said just now, it must be just that matter. It is enough to say it outside the telegram. It is absolutely necessary to go there in person. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, so Wan Qingcheng had no chance to hug another calf.
Sure enough, the next step is the key point. Li Jiapo said in a high voice: "Also, you also heard a piece of news. The fleet was mobilized to Nanyang. Apart from showing posture and strength, and acting with Yin Ni, it had no purpose." "
Those sailors waved the banknotes in their hands, bringing new consumption.
The last ones are the two smallest heavy cruisers of less than 10,000 tons. The front ones are destroyers and frigates from small to large. They are all old-fashioned artillery ships, with or without missile ships.
Without that news, Wan Qing could not delay the arrangements calmly or urgently.
There was not much activity at the hotel, especially before the officers left and the sailors came on board.
According to the urine of Yingguo people, they can really do things like turning against someone and stabbing an ally in the back. Although the outside has begun, the welcome celebration has not yet begun.
You must know that this so-called task force is still gathering far away from Soma Li. The previous itinerary was said to be top secret, and it is very likely that the arrangement was broken.
In that case, just in case, considering losing Xiangjiang, it would be strange for Yishi to prepare the first move. In the hotel room, Li Jing and Vincent asked about the situation there.
However, Vincent and Vincent's father, who had just returned to Subian from Malaysia, were even more secretive and dangerous.
Because it is far enough away from us and is on the edge of the political map, it is most difficult to attract attention. Li Jing raised his eyebrows. Li Jiapo obviously came unprepared and nodded in agreement.
Li Jing actually came to the hotel to stay.
Li Jing looked out the window. A huge white shadow appeared in the haze under the sea surface, followed closely by another one after another.
Everything above and below needs to be taken care of, especially the current local navy.
Now, Wan Qing suddenly understood why Luandun suddenly changed Dongfang's strategy.
