Chapter 403 Welcome Home
A cry of exclamation alarmed everyone on board; however, Deputy Marshal Hao Youcai gave a serious order: "Everyone must not act rashly, the combatants are in place, and the non-combatants enter the cabin to hide.
The artillery system is activated and adjusted to the firing state as soon as possible.
Masters prepare for battle so that they can fight at any time.
Check the power status of the ship, ready to burst 160% power at any time!
Communication soldier, ready to make contact. "
Hao Youcai issued a series of orders, and the navy officers and soldiers immediately became busy in an orderly manner, and even special soldiers took the merchants and people from Wu and Yue countries to a safe place.
Yueming, the crown prince of Yue Kingdom, was still a little puzzled, a little flustered, and still looking forward to it: "Is there going to be a war?"
Yu Aixian, commander of the Yue State Navy, has bright eyes: "Not necessarily, this is very likely a standard combat procedure, a commendable combat procedure. We must keep in mind the reaction of the Anyang army."
Gou Yuanli, the Prime Minister of the Yue Kingdom, also nodded solemnly: "This kind of military quality is worth learning; after sailing back and forth for more than two months, the first time I go home is not to get carried away, but to be vigilant and prepare for war. Quite right."
But Hao Youcai found a 10,000-ton steel warship in the sea, which can basically be concluded as Anyang; but caution is still necessary.
The two sides communicated, strictly verified the password, and verified the identity. When everything was complete and correct, cheers, it really broke out!
"We're going home!" All the sailors and businessmen on board cheered. This journey of 160,000 miles back and forth, a wandering life that lasted for more than two months, included hardships that cannot be expressed in words. But no matter how hard it was, it turned into cheers at this moment.
The two fleets approached quickly, and soon they could see the faces of each other's soldiers clearly.
"Welcome home!" Cheers came from another ship, and hundreds of soldiers lined up on the side of the ship, saluting.
"Salute!" Hao Youcai gave an order, and all the empty-handed soldiers stood on the deck, saluting from afar. Even many merchants and sailors in Anyang lined up and saluted spontaneously.
Behind, people from Wu and Yue countries looked at each other and saw the shock and horror in their eyes.
What shocked me was the quality displayed by the Anyang soldiers; what shocked me was that the five giant steel ships that were advancing rapidly seemed to be even better—at least faster.
Two fleets crossed, one to the south and the other to the north, flying the same flag. The waves stirred up by the fleet blended with each other, seeming to convey mutual care and greetings.
Half an hour later, when the fleet was already somewhat blurred, Hao Youcai ordered two planes to fly from the warship, and the planes headed to Anyang first to inform King Xian and related personnel.
…………
The other fleet, that is, the fleet that Hao Youcai met, was naturally the fleet that escorted Gongsun Wushang back to Liu Guo.
The person in charge of the fleet is Gao Shirong, the second deputy commander of the navy, who is slightly lower than Hao Youcai.
Gongsun Wushang and Prime Minister Han Yuanchang who were on the deck also saw the five warships.
"Is that a fleet for ocean exploration?" Han Yuanchang asked Gongsun Wushang next to him.
Gongsun Wushang turned his head to look at Han Yuanchang, and suddenly said teasingly, "Military secrets!"
Han Yuanchang's complexion immediately changed, "Anyang Daily has published the information, what else should we keep secret!"
"But the Anyang Daily didn't say when it will return, how many ships will return and other specific information."
Han Yuanchang paused, and finally sighed, "Is it necessary?"
"It is necessary!" Gongsun Wushang nodded confidently, "I am now from Anyang, not from Liu Guo."
As he spoke, Gongsun Wushang lightly patted the guardrail of the bow, the meaning was self-evident.
Han Yuanchang didn't say a word. Looking at the waves rolling up from the bow of the ship, his interest suddenly faded, and he was also a little... at a loss.
Seen a lot in Anyang, Han Yuanchang also had to admit that Liu Guo's laws are problematic, and even if there is no change, Liu Guo will face huge troubles - for example, stepping into the footsteps of Da Xia. But, wanting to change is easier said than done!
"But why is the change in Anyang so easy?" Suddenly, Han Yuanchang thought of this.
In Anyang, what Han Yuanchang felt the most obvious is that Anyang is changing every day! In other countries, regions, etc., as long as there are changes, it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction; but in Anyang, people are frantically pursuing changes, and we are still not satisfied if there is no change!
Thinking of this, Han Yuanchang couldn't figure it out, or he couldn't fully figure it out; after thinking for a long time, he finally had to ask Gongsun Wushang for advice with the cheek.
"Benefits!" Gongsun Wushang broke the mystery, "If you don't change, you will lose the market; it's that simple! To put it a little deeper, the demand is changing, so if you want to gain benefits, you must closely follow the market demand to change.
This is a completely different expression of business and traditional rule.
The so-called reforms in general countries damage the old interests and do not give new directions for interests.
Anyang, on the other hand, directly gives a new direction of interest, driving all the old and vested interests to actively pursue it; if the old interest class does not pursue it, a new interest class will emerge. Then the new interest class will gradually eliminate the old interest class through competition. In this process, without political intervention, the market can complete the adjustment spontaneously!
Therefore, Anyang is changing every day, and must change every day. If there is no change in Anyang one day, Anyang will hit the top of the mountain like a high-speed train. "
"So that's how it is!" Han Yuanchang understood, and suddenly felt emotional again, "If there is such a day, does it mean that industry and commerce will come to an end?"
"No!" Gongsun Wushang smiled, it was a confident and proud smile, "Because, before the train hit the mountain, we had already taken a plane and soared into the sky! (You can't catch up)"
"What if the plane doesn't take off in time? (What if we catch up)"
Gongsun Wushang's domineering side leaked: "Then we will blow up the mountain! (Who dares to try in front of us!)"
Han Yuanchang was silent.
The warship continued to move forward, and it would take half a day to reach Liu Guo. Han Yuanchang suddenly lost the joy and excitement of going home.
…………
In the sky above Anyang, there are stealth aircraft floating. Since the war with Jin, there have been aircrafts in the sky above Anyang; there was only a short pause during the previous Cultivation Banner.
After the comprehension conference ended, the aircraft took off again. These high-flying craft serve many purposes. Investigating and protecting Anyang is natural, as well as training and communication.
But today, on the aircraft patrolling the southeast of Anyang, where Dongyuan County used to be, and bordering Jin State, a soldier suddenly discovered that two planes appeared on the sea in the distance.
"It's a military-type aircraft!" The team leader in charge of the aircraft made a judgment at the first glance.
"The one flying from the sea is the navy's plane. But the navy just left the port not long ago, why send the plane?" the deputy captain was puzzled.
The team leader frowned, looked at it, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "This plane is not the latest one! It's an ocean-going fleet plane!
Hurry up, Wang Lixiang, remove the invisibility, and get in touch with the other party.
Zhang Xiaolin, convey this message upwards, "
The military's communication technology is very advanced, and after a few breaths, this information reached Li Xian; and then, the whole of Anyang was alarmed.
Li Xian immediately ordered: "Air Force General Cheng Jiming listened to the order and arranged for the seaside aircraft to go out to sea immediately to search, first get in touch with Hao Youcai, confirm the time of arrival in Anyang City, and ask about the profit situation, the general diplomatic situation, etc.
If the profits are good, let them port in civilian ports; if the losses are heavy, let them port in military ports.
Song Xing listened to the order and made preparations. Once it was confirmed that the profits would be huge, he would immediately announce the news and hold a grand welcome ceremony!
The police are ready to prevent chaos.
As for the hospital, dispatch enough manpower and ambulances, just in case.
Army general Wang Jian, be prepared, once the chaos occurs and is serious, the army will be dispatched! "
A series of orders were issued, and Anyang was busy again! This time the transfer was so great that almost all the police were transferred to the port, and even reserve soldiers were transferred to the port. Before long, the hospital was busy again.
All of these indicate that something big has happened.
Some smart people have already thought of the possibility——the port, what big things can happen in the port, the biggest thing should be the matter of the ocean-going fleet that was only made public yesterday!
