Chapter 357 Fu Tao's troubles
When Wu Ziyu received the transfer order from the capital, he did not delay too much, and immediately ordered the troops under his command to assemble, and then took the train at full speed to help Zhili.
Although Wu Ziyu was a little surprised when Feng Jun went south this time, he was a little surprised when he heard the news that Lin Hongfei and Qi Xieyuan went south to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the surprise in his heart disappeared.
"I asked why Feng Jun made a sudden attack. It turned out that Hong Fei made such a show."
Wu Ziyu is now a little powerless towards Lin Hongfei, or he already thinks that he can't control Lin Hongfei's actions.
Sometimes he himself sighed with emotion. Lin Hongfei was just an unknown lieutenant company commander back then, and later he took up the position of Jiangbei town guard at the age of less than 30 under his guidance.
But now, in just a few years, Lin Hongfei is already on an equal footing with him in terms of position and power.
"There are talented people from generation to generation!" Wu Ziyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Wu Ziyu left his station with his troops, within two days, a secret letter written by Lin Hongfei himself arrived.
However, when the messenger learned that Wu Ziyu had left, he immediately murmured that it was not good. He didn't dare to delay, and started to chase after him again.
It's just such a delay, the sender didn't know if he could deliver the letter in time.
The reason why this secret letter was not in the form of a telegram was mainly because its content was too sensitive, and Lin Hongfei was worried that it would leak.
The content of the secret letter is also simple: "Feng Hu wants to mutiny, uncle needs to be careful."
······
"Today is clear and the blue waves are high, and the military flag is fluttering on the leading ship's mast."
"Order the enemy ships to flee when they hear the wind, and the uncle will not care about the bombing."
On the broad Yangtze River, four armored gunboats lined up, accompanied by billowing black smoke from the chimneys, and amidst the roar of sirens, they sailed towards the east at the fastest speed.
At this time, Fu Tao, who had been promoted to Major General of the Shanling Army Surface Security Corps, was standing on the roof of the cabin, holding on to the railings on the edge with both hands, and slowly reciting the four lines of poetry.
This poem was said by Lin Hongfei to Fu Tao when he and Fu Tao were drinking.
Fu Tao liked this poem quite a lot, especially the last sentence of the old man who cares about the boom and doesn't care about fishing, which perfectly shows the feeling of the ship's rampage.
As the first naval officer to follow Lin Hongfei, Fu Tao not only won the rank of major general, but also managed 6 armored gunboats and a marine corps of more than 3000 people.
Compared with his colleagues in the Ministry of the Navy, Fu Tao can be said to have a prosperous official career.
It's just that even so, Fu Tao has his own troubles, and the troubles are very simple, that is, there is no battle to fight!
From the earliest Jiangbei Army, to the later Shanling Army, and now to the current Shanyuling Three-Provincial Defense Army, the battles that Lin Hongfei's troops participated in were basically land battles, and almost no water battles were involved.
Therefore, it is often the battle on land that is lively and lively, but the Marine Police Corps can only watch helplessly and cannot help at all.
It would be fine if there were no battles in normal times, but the problem was that there were not even large-scale water bandits on the Yangtze River near Jiangbei City.
The main reason was that the water bandits were riding on wooden sailboats. Unless they were tired of working, they would go to Jiangbei City, which was patrolled by ironclad ships all day long, to rob.
This makes the daily tasks of the Marine Police Corps to sail, patrol, return, and rest.
It can be said to be extremely boring.
But that's not the most upsetting thing.
Since the establishment of the Marine Police Corps, Lin Hongfei's salary standard for the Marine Police Corps has been higher than that of the army, including better food on weekdays.
As a result, some army officers were not happy.
This is not to say that they are jealous of the treatment of the Marine Police Corps. The Air Force Brigade is also paid very high, but the army has no objection, and even thinks that the Air Force Brigade should receive high military pay.
The main reason is that the army officers feel that the brothers have worked hard on the battlefield to expand the territory for the commander in these years, and your Marine Police Corps is doing well, sailing boats on the river all day long.
If you don't see you in wars, and you don't see you in support, what use are you for? What face do you have to receive such a high military salary!
Look at the Air Force Brigade, how kind and righteous those brothers are. Whenever our army can't take down a mountain or a city that can't be broken, they just fly a plane and drop bombs, and they can immediately scare the other side's army. Had to run around.
They are worthy of high military pay!
Such gossip would reach the ears of the members of the Marine Police Corps from time to time. Naturally, everyone was very angry when they heard it, but they didn't know how to refute it.
After all, the army is telling the truth.
Therefore, everyone in the Marine Police Corps was suffocating in their hearts. They had long been looking forward to a big battle and a good fight, so that the brothers of the Allied Defense Forces can see that our Marine Police Corps can do the same. Help the commander in chief to relieve his worries.
Our military pay is not for nothing!
Therefore, when Fu Tao learned that he was going to participate in the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time, the entire Marine Police Corps was in a state of excitement, and everyone had been looking forward to this day for a long time!
Therefore, when the order to set off was issued, the four gunboats and several transport ships advanced at full speed, just to reach Jiangsu and Zhejiang one day earlier.
Fu Tao took a deep puff of the cigarette, and with the exhalation of the smoke, his eyes became more and more aggressive. He heard that the enemy Lu Yongxiang this time had the support of the navy.
Therefore, this time the Marine Police Corps is going to have a real battle on the water!
"This time, if I don't sink four or five gunboats, the Marine Police Corps will never be able to lift their face again!" Fu Tao thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound in the air, and Fu Tao and several officers standing on the deck immediately looked up.
I saw more than a dozen combat forces launching a dive posture at the same time. When the altitude of the plane dropped to 300 meters, it quickly pulled up again, and it went up and down, causing bursts of noise from around.
Several school officers of the Marine Police Corps couldn't help but spit, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Damn it, it's those bastards from the Air Force Brigade!"
"What are you showing off, aren't you just flying a few broken planes!"
"Brothers, next time you see someone from the Air Force Brigade in a restaurant in Jiangbei, beat me hard and let them be arrogant with us again!"
It turned out that the dozen or so planes that had just swooped down were members of the Air Force Brigade under Lin Hongfei's command. These dozen of planes, as the first echelon in the air, took the lead in taking the lead in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to seize air supremacy and cooperate with the ground troops' attack.
Because the officers and soldiers of the Marine Police Corps had often fought in restaurants with the officers and soldiers of the Air Force Brigade, the Air Force Brigade made a special provocation.
As a result, this provocation aroused the Marine Police Corps' desire to fight even more!
