Scholars in the courtyard

"Here they come, reinforcements are coming."

"Captain, Lao Liu, this is the Haiyan. He is the captain. He has personally brought people to support us."

The weapons officer stood on the bow of the ship and looked at a group of black spots that appeared not far away. After seeing clearly with a telescope, he immediately shouted loudly.

Zhang Kangzhan was leaning against the first mate, smoking a cigarette to relieve his fatigue after the war.

"It came quite quickly."

Zhang Kangzhan was inexplicably moved when he heard that his old man had come in person, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't say much.

The first mate looked at the duplicity of the guy next to him and curled his lips angrily.

After hearing this, he wanted to get up. He wanted to see what the expressions of those people would be like when they saw that they had made such a great contribution.

It will definitely be shocking!

"Old Zhang, this boat must be given to us!"

Zhang Kangzhan held the hand of his old partner, "Don't worry, we fought hard to get it, who dares to snatch it?"

After saying that, his eyes looked stern, very proud.

"By the way, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and ask the messenger to send a signal. Don't blow up my big ship."

After hearing this, the weapons officer quickly asked someone to send a signal.

far away.

Zhang Wu stood on the flagship Haiyan and looked at the gunboats appearing in front and the Osprey hunting submarines behind, and his heart sank.

Could it be that he was captured?

Thinking of his son on the ship, he would rather his son be heroic than accept the fact of being captured.

Although, the heroic result also made him uncomfortable.

But it is also a good explanation for the country and the revolution.

In fact, when the captain modified the Hague, he needed someone to test it.

The first thing he thought of was his boss.

However, I didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen during this trial voyage.

"Old Zhang! Look."

The chief of staff beside him put down his telescope and reminded loudly. Zhang Wu quickly picked up the telescope and looked at it.

After just a moment, Zhang Wu frowned, because what the other party said in the flag language was really unbelievable.

"This this…"

"Captured the opponent's ship?"

"That's the Osprey!"

"This is the main submarine hunter! Damn it, it's not fake!"

The chief of staff couldn't believe it, and his tone was also suspicious.

"This, this can't be the enemy's plot."

Zhang Wu did not answer, he was also hesitant in his heart.

But as the distance got closer, the other party still maintained its speed, and there was a long line of lifeboats behind the Osprey. He quickly picked up the microphone and said, "Trinity speedboat, come forward to check the situation."

Soon, a torpedo speedboat received the order and quickly separated from the team and moved forward.

The entire team's eyes were focused on the speedboat.

Just as everyone was expecting it, the people on the speedboat came to the gunboat. A moment later, they also waved the same flag and sent out the same message.

"real!"

The chief of staff's voice changed slightly.

"I, wipe it!"

Zhang Wu's heart also thumped.

At this time, more ships began to approach, looking at the battle-damaged Hague, the tilted Osprey, and the prisoners being escorted behind...

Then more people cheered on the boat.

More boats were cruising around the big ship.

At this moment, The Hague was like a star on the stage, dazzling.

"Lao Zhang, this boy of yours, this boy"

"You can do it now."

Zhang Wu held the handle, obviously feeling more nervous than before, but his face looked calm, "This stinky boy, stinky boy."

Soon, the ship approached and Zhang Wu could see clearly what The Hague looked like.

Seeing the big hole in the side of the ship, the blood stains, and the sailors wearing bandages, Zhang Wu became inexplicably nervous.

When the ship came to a stop, Zhang Wu saw his boss and felt relieved.

A moment later, Zhang Wu led a group of people onto the Hague gunboat.

"Report to the captain. All sailors of the Hague are reporting to you."

Zhang Kangzhan, with a bandage on his head, was at the front of the line, solemnly saluting.

Beside him is the equally frail first mate.

Originally he could lie down and receive treatment, but at this moment, how could he miss this moment of honor?

Not just him, everyone who can still stand is in line.

"This time we encountered an enemy ship, and through the tenacious efforts of the entire ship, we defeated the enemy."

"Captured the enemy hunting submarine Osprey, and captured ninety-four people, including one major, one major staff officer, and lieutenant-level officials."

As Zhang Kangzhan narrated, the chief of staff on the side felt his heart beating continuously.

The captains of the ships who came with him were also excited.

A great victory, an absolute great victory.

Capturing such a large ship, and it is still considered an advanced ship at the moment, there is nothing bigger than this in their entire fleet.

If such a large ship is repaired, the strength of their fleet will increase by at least 50%.

Everyone suppressed the excitement in their hearts and looked at the officers and soldiers of The Hague with reverence.

…

bang bang bang bang

The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

Half an hour later, Zhang Wu was sitting in the command room, surrounded by senior leaders of the fleet, with shock on his face.

Zhang Kangzhan held the kettle and explained the entire combat process in detail.

When I heard that the gunboat could gallop on the sea at a speed of forty-two knots and still maintain stability, ensuring that the torpedo was successfully launched and hit the target, I couldn't believe it.

But it’s okay not to believe it.

The Osprey is sitting right here.

Then the first mate, chief engineer, and weapons officer also explained the situation, and only then did everyone become convinced that this was true.

"Old Zhang."

"This matter needs to be reported as soon as possible."

After the chief of staff learned about the situation, he immediately said, "Not only must we report the battle, but we must also report the data of this test."

"Such a good engine, Lao Zhang, if we build more, it won't be a Hague, it will be more Hagues."

Hearing what the chief of staff said, the captains and first mates present all brightened up.

Since the Hague can do it, they can do it too after they put in a new engine.

The Osprey captured this time is most likely the new ship of The Hague. This is the first ship in their fleet.

Who doesn’t want to sail a big ship on the sea?

Since you can't create it yourself, it will be the same as before.

We don’t have guns or cannons, the enemy made them for us.

Those, sooner or later, will be ours.

"That's right, Captain, our Sea Breeze applied for the first batch of modifications."

"And our Hailan!"

"Captain, I also want the Haiwei..."

In an instant, several gunboat captains asked for modifications to new engines.

The entire command room was filled with cheers.

Zhang Wu smiled on the side, but did not agree in a hurry.

But at this moment, the chief of staff thought of something, "Old Zhang, I remember that this engine is from Hongxing Machinery Factory in Sijiucheng!"

"I heard that your nephew is the one who calls the shots. The whole team depends on you!"

Zhang Wu nodded immediately after hearing this. He didn't expect that this newly recognized nephew would bring him so many surprises.

"Don't worry, this engine was designed by my nephew, there will definitely be no problem."

Everyone was even more happy after hearing this. Their captain was a spitting person.

With the captain's guarantee, this matter is definitely safe.

By the time the fleet arrived at the docking base, people who had received the news early had already occupied the dock.

Looking at the Osprey entering the waterway at an angle, violent cheers immediately erupted from the surroundings.

"Well done."

Zhang Wu led the people away from the Hague, and finally said a thoughtful word to his boss.

Zhang Kangzhan watched his father leave and nodded solemnly.

Not long after, the news of the naval battle spread to Shanghai and then to Sijiu City.

Then more detailed information was sent to the superiors, which shocked those who were shocked again.

Forty-nine cities, one machine department, in the reception room.

At the table, Mr. Wang held the wine glass, took a sip and then shook his head and clicked his tongue, "Old Huang, this wine is good, what kind of wine is it?"

Mr. Huang glanced at it and said angrily, "Erguotou without water."

Mr. Wang shook his head, "Impossible, this wine tastes wrong. Is it mixed with the right water? Do I still know?"

Mr. Zhang put down his wine glass and said nothing.

However, Mr. Qin nodded, "It's Erguotou, that's right."

Then he said to Mr. Wang, "What you drink should be half water and more than half water."

"Nonsense. When did I drink water?"

Mr. Wang had a tough mouth, but he picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

One third of the wine glass was instantly missing.

Mr. Huang didn't expose it even when he saw it.

"By the way, Lao Huang, when will you start the truck thing we talked about last time?"

"You're talking about Optimus Prime. What's wrong? Can't wait?"

"Hey."

Mr. Wang chuckled, "We have no problem, but the assembly department can't wait any longer."

"Especially since the Second Machinery Department also came to intervene, we are all waiting for the letter now."

After hearing this, Mr. Qin looked up and said, "Are you talking about Lao Zhang and the others?"

"Yes, that's him."

Speaking of this, Mr. Wang's voice became louder.

"Lao Huang, and Lao Zhang."

"This guy took our battalion's main attack mission back then, and now he's urging us to work every day. He's just like the housekeeper of a wealthy landlord. He's annoying to death."

Mr. Qin picked up the wine glass and said, "Old Zhang, this person has a very straight character. Ding is Dingmao, Ding is Mao."

"Old Wang, you have already left the army. There are some things you should keep quiet about."

After speaking, he took a sip.

Hearing this, Mr. Wang was startled and his temper became even worse.

"Shut up? Why? Why don't you let people talk about this?"

"I think back then, when we were crossing the grass, who was leading the way? It wasn't us."

"One of them, the one in the rear, started to quarrel."

"Now this guy is even more amazing. He also works part-time as the defense officer of the Four-Nine Cities. He's so awesome."

"I heard that during the last exercise, Han Xuanfeng was defeated, and the ox's tail was raised to the sky."

Wang Lao became more and more angry as he talked, "This time I am responsible for the security work. He urges us to put up as soon as possible every day. It almost annoys me to death."

Bang bang

Just when Mr. Wang finished saying this and the people around him had not spoken, a knock on the door suddenly came, and then he heard, "Wang Shamepi, did you say bad things about me behind my back again?"

snap

Mr. Wang tilted the cup in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not spill the wine, otherwise it would have been wasted.

The next second, the door of the conference room opened, and an old man with a majestic face and an evil aura about him walked in.

After the old man came in, Squad Leader Zhang who was sitting next to him put down his wine glass and sat upright in the next second. His overall aura was only stronger than that of the old man.

The old man is naturally the Lao Zhang in Mr. Wang's mouth, and he was also the person in charge of the epidemic prevention and safety work in Sijiu City last time.

Seeing the old man come in, Mr. Wang just felt that things were a little difficult to handle today.
