Chapter 304: Eunuch Wei will deliver an important speech
Juehua Island, the temporary garrison of the Huangming Joint Fleet.
Since the beginning of the year, the generals of the Joint Fleet have lined up in the temporary port, preparing to welcome the great admiral, eunuch, Wei Gong, to review the navy.
However, until noon, there was no time for the sea to be ordered to Huludao to welcome the combined fleet ship of the East Asia, which was ordered to welcome Duke Wei.
"Your Excellency Commander, is there something wrong with Duke Wei?"
Commander of the First Mobile Fleet of the Joint Fleet, Chief of Staff of the New Japan Navy, and former garrison of the Wusong River Camp, Dali, returned from Japan five days ago.
He brought 5,000 marine soldiers who were trained in Osaka, Japan, half of whom were descendants of the Han people in Japan, most of whom participated in the anti-shog army, and the rest were samurai recruited in Japan.
The Osaka Naval School is one of the main training bases of the Joint Fleet, but it is mainly responsible for the training and training of land soldiers.
The principal is Zheng Duo, the Minister of Military Affairs of the New Japan State, the Chief of General Logistics of the Military Department, and the former Korean from Liaodong Malaysian Bandits.
Due to the turbulent situation in Japan, the base camp took on Comrade Zheng Duo as the Minister of Military Affairs of Japan in June, and coordinated the storm and suppression of the rebel armed forces in Japan by the First Army and the Japanese Assistant Army and the Satsuma clan.
It was only because the Pingnu war at the headquarters of the Empire used a large amount of manpower and force, which resulted in the actual number of troops of the First Army being one-third less than the full force, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Xie'an Army was also worrying. Therefore, despite the strong support of the Satsuma clan and the cooperation of the Imperial Army headed by Yan Siqi, the rebellious armed forces in Japan have not achieved great results.
Nowadays, the Imperial Army can only ensure the security of Kyoto and Edo, and can only adopt a "active" defensive stance against the rebels in the north and the central and western regions.
Therefore, the First Army once asked the base camp to request the navy to invest all its combat forces into Japan, so that the rebel forces could be completely suppressed in terms of military strength.
However, the Navy proposed a plan to advance south and was unwilling to attack the army. The conflict between the two sides was once irreconcilable.
While attaching great importance to the current situation in the imperial capital, the great Imperial Army commander Wei Liangchen decided to start the integration of the navy and army, and thus the Juehua Island Naval Headquarters reviewed this time.
According to the headquarters order, except for the necessary generals to stay behind, the rest of the personnel must all arrive at Juehua Island.
The official documents they received clearly stated that the Admiral and Eunuch Wei will deliver an important speech.
Therefore, in addition to Wang Dali, the logistics commander of the Joint Fleet, Cheng Qing, former Wusong Water Camp, the commander of the Second Mobile Fleet of the Joint Fleet, Xu Dayou, the former Imperial Army Liaison Commander; the combat commander of the Joint Fleet Ma Dade, Kawashima Ichisu, Nagamojiro, Orihiro, Yan Guozhong, Alredo and other about 60 middle and senior officers all arrived at Juehua Island.
Alredo is the only Western officer of the United Fleet. He is a Spanish and has been exploring the Eastern Dream in Macau.
After being introduced by the member of the Catholic Sinicization Leadership Group and the leader of Songjiang Steelon, he joined the Imperial Army Combined Fleet. Because Alredo had served in the Spanish Fleet, his arrival allowed the Combined Fleet to understand the sea tactics and shipbuilding techniques of the Westerners thousands of miles away.
During the attack on the Li Dan fleet of Qiansui Gorge, Alredo's ship was the first to enter Qiansui Gorge and attacked more than a dozen ships in fire. After the war, he was immediately promoted to combat commander and enjoyed the treatment of a thousand households.
Therefore, the army also jokingly called Alredo "A Qianhu".
Among the former main generals of Wusong Water Camp, only Jiang Xifeng, who served as the chief of staff of the base camp, was not present. According to some reliable information, the Chief Jiang appeared in Seoul. It seemed that an important thing happened in Seoul, and this senior general of the Imperial Army must go to deal with it personally.
"Patiently, I ordered that Mr. Wei would come today, so he would definitely come... Isn't it that I haven't been here yet?"
Shi Dezheng was very patient and did not feel irritated because Eunuch Wei had not arrived for a long time. Chief of Staff Chen Yourong and Deputy Chief of Staff Hou Anzhi were also very calm. They were senior navy leaders and there was no need to line up with the people below. The three of them sat upright at the same table.
There is tea on the table and wind on the sea.
"Did you see it? That's the brain of our navy!"
Wang Dali said this to Arima Naochun, the captain of the newly formed second wing of the Marine Corps, who was next to him, but his tone sounded strange.
Naojun Arima was the first powerful Japanese figure to come to surrender at the beginning of the imperial army's conquest. His father, Haruno Arima, was a famous Catholic in Japan. Later, he was ordered to seduce the stomach by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Therefore, Naosumi Arima and the Tokugawa family had a grudge against killing their father, and with the Catholic status, after learning that the church invited the army of the Ming Empire to come to punish the brutal Tokugawa shogunate, Naosumi Arima immediately stood up to respond.
Therefore, he was named "Second Class Bronze Saint Seiya" by the great Archbishop of the Eastern Army and the commander of the Imperial Army, and was awarded the title of "Tianma Meteor Fist".
After the Imperial Army captured Kyoto and established the New Japan Kingdom, Naojun Arima's troops were adapted to join the New Japan Kingdom's Xie'an Army. Arima himself was also appointed as the vice principal of the Osaka Naval School and became the captain of the newly-organized Naval Marine Corps three months ago. It is worthy of use.
"The talent of the empire and the glory of the navy!"
Arima Naokuru looked at the three senior commanders of the United Fleet who were drinking tea in admiration. According to his glorious history of war, the United Fleet grew step by step under the command of these three people, and achieved one impressive record after another.
In the past, shogunate sailors were like children who had just walked in front of the wing fleet. In particular, the blockade of Edo by the Joint Fleet created a model of naval landing operations.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dali heard this and said disdainfully: "The virtuous are virtuous people, but how can a person without loyalty represent our navy? How can he command our navy!"
"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
In terms of official title, Wang Li is the commander-in-chief of the first mobile fleet of the United Fleet. He enjoys the treatment of the general commander and commander of the general, while Aima is the captain of the Marine Corps. He enjoys the treatment of the deputy general, so he naturally needs to use respectful titles.
"Can't you see that? Why did the base camp say in the order that Mr. Wei will make an important speech? And why did we call on all the senior generals of our navy to come here?"
Wang Dali looked at Youma meaningfully.
Arima said in surprise: "Your Excellency means that in what happened in the headquarters of the Empire, is there anything that our Navy's top leaders disappointed the base camp?"
"It should be,"
Wang Dali snorted, "Let's see now whether the talented people you mentioned will end up with a decent end."
