Chapter 17 Friendly Ships Arrested

Outside the sea of ​​Qinhuangdao Port.

The sea breeze blew gently across his body, and the bright sunshine spread on the bow of the ship, making people feel warm. If the sky blue navy uniform was on the shore, it would definitely attract the eyes of a bunch of girls, but Huang Tianxia did not dare to relax at all. He opened his eyes and began to patrol everything in the sea and sky, for fear of an enemy ship running out.

The Feng army on the shore was also very nervous, fearing that these seven or eight hill-like giant ships had countless black gun barrels aimed at the shore. I was afraid that the battalion would be reimbursed after a single shot. Fortunately, the Hubei army's warships were always patrolling outside the range and did not carry out bombardment on the other side.

As the supreme commander of the First Fleet of the Republican Navy, Huang Tianxia is fully qualified to be called "successful in his prime", but this position is not as beautiful as imagined.

Since the fifty years of the Republic, all the commanders of the First Fleet have come out of the Second Fleet, and Huang Tianxia is the second fleet of Taiwan to the First Fleet. The commander of the squadron has been promoted to the commander of the Fleet. In the eyes of others, it is extremely glorious, but the real situation is even worse than I imagined.

The second fleet calls the First Fleet "antique collector" inside. This is a fact. Although the name of the First Fleet is very beautiful, "Yang Ye", "Lian Po", "Meng Tian", "Wei Qing"... However, the names of these old men are still consistent with the actual situation. They are basically antique goods with a ship age of more than fifty years. The Second Fleet basically handed over the eliminated old ship to the Luzon Company, and the Luzon Company handed over the second eliminated ruins to the First Fleet.

As for the funding? The funding that the central government has pulled out to the headquarters this year is barely enough to change the toilet. If the old floor is replaced, then okay... wait next year!

Don’t think that some people say that the First Fleet can eat two fish every meal and think that the First Fleet can spend money on everything. The Fleet can only basically ensure the fleet’s barely operation. If there are really two fish in a meal, the fish will not weigh more than five cents.

So please ask everyone to be reborn. All the main ships in better condition took over the Shen family's business and went to the New World to help the frigate. The ships that were a little less reborn were changed to transport ships. As for the warships they brought back now, they were the first-class goods again.

The flagship of the formation is the "Di Qing" class six-class cruiser. The history of this Di Qing is almost as long as that of the Republic. It is accompanied by Fu Bo and Fu Lang two newer 18-aircraft Clippers, as well as four ten-aircraft armed clutches in service for more than 50 years. However, this fleet is still extremely terrifying for the Fengtian army.

Just as I was thinking, a hurrying voice had already sounded: "The enemy ship was found behind!"

The enemy ship's direction was interspersed from behind, and the ship was filled with roars such as "The left rudder is ready to turn..."

But before the First Fleet was able to set up its formation, the two warships behind had approached the First Fleet, but suddenly stopped advancing.

Looking at the warship that seemed extremely huge compared to the warship, the appearance of the warship, and the thick white smoke, Huang Tianxia couldn't help but feel dizzy. Steam Clippers? When did the Fengtian Army have such an advanced warship?

At this time, the other party called the flag language, and an officer reported the content of the flag language to Huang Tianxia: "Second Fleet, watch the battle!"

Huang Tianxia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he also recognized the other party's warship, the steam wooden cruiser of the Second Fleet, and the training ship of the same level, the Seagull. Soon, the other party's warship approached Huang Tianxia's flagship "Di Qing" without permission.

The First Fleet dared not fight back at all. Although the opponent had only two warships and not many artillery numbers, the slogan of the Second Fleet is "Build the world's first fully steamed warship". Since a new ship is to be replaced, some old goods must be eliminated to the Luzon Company. Now the First Fleet is preparing to accept the warships eliminated by the Luzon Company for the second time.

So the other party arrived not far from the First Fleet, and then a few people drove a boat and rowed towards the flagship. Huang Tianxia welcomed him intimately. As soon as he pulled a short man onto the boat, the short man hugged Huang Tianxia and shouted affectionately: "I miss you so much!"

Huang Tianxia also felt a fever in his heart and shouted at the short man's name: "Sbo! It's okay! Why are you here too?"

The dwarf is named Fu Sibo, the commander of the squadron of the Second Fleet. He had a good relationship with Huang Tianxia when he was in Taiwan. He smiled and said, "It was Lao Xiao who called me to come, look at you! You can't let you lose the face of our four fleets!"

At this time, the alarm sounded again, and several black spots appeared at the junction of the sea and sky in the distance, which made Huang Tianxia busy for a while. Fortunately, it proved to be a false alarm.

"Third Fleet, watch the battle!"

"Fourth Fleet, watch the battle!"

The other party's flag slogan indicated their reason, but they were actually here to harbor the first fleet. The reason was very simple. The navy looked down on the police force on the Heilongjiang River. The Fengtian army could shamelessly call themselves "Fifth Fleet", but the navy could not afford to lose this person. There was even such a saying within the second fleet: "Just just Zhang Buyun's small sampans, our main battleship can handle it!"

Of course, the three fleets were still worried about the broken iron of Huang Tianxia, ​​so they sent warships to "watch the battle".

With friendly troops helping to escort the formation, Huang Tianxia's confidence was several times higher. The entire army entered an echelon to search. Several friendly warships slowed down and followed the escort behind. However, Fu Sbo saw that the warships of the other two fleets were a sail warship plus a steam warship. Only he was two steam warships. He felt proud and opened his mouth wide and said, "It's better for our fleet. What a good relationship between us brothers. Without you, it's not interesting to bet on money."

Huang Tianxia was also interested and teased Fu Sibo and said, "Sbo, don't play too crazy. Be careful that you will lose all your money and you won't be able to go home!"

Fu Sbo was not very handsome and laughed, "What are you afraid of! You didn't lose a lot in Taiwan this time. This bet is really exciting and the bet is too big!"

Huang Tianxia was stunned and said, "What a bet we have seen? What? Are we gambling with women? Warships? Arms?"

Fu Sbo smiled, his face even more proud: "I have seen such a big bet, but I really have no regrets in my life! It's so exciting! Tianxia, ​​you are such a pity!"

He said it was a mess, but he refused to talk about the content of the gambling game. Huang Tianxia was also half a gambling guy. He was attracted by interest and grabbed Fu Sbo's hand and said, "What a big bet?"

At this time, the battle alarm appeared again: "Discover the enemy ship and enter combat readiness... Confirm, the police team on the river in Heilongjiang..."

Huang Tianxia looked out and the black dots in the distance were getting closer and closer, but Fu Sibo was excited again, and he grabbed Fu Sibo's hand and entered the stern, saying to Fu Sibo: "Let's fight and talk!"
