Jinzhou lvshun port
China is also the largest military seaport in Asia. Different Lushun ports in Shanghai and Tianjin are usually much quieter, but today it is quite different.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yi arrived at Lushun Port by train from Shengjing. He came with him and almost all the military and political dignitaries of the Republic of China. Zhang Yiyou invited many celebrities to come here, which is one thing to welcome his fleet!
Liu Buchan Zhang Yi looked excited and whispered, "Jian is coming soon."
Zhang Yi looked at Liu Buchan with a funny face. Where is the Liu Buchan now? Even sweat appeared on the forehead of the commander of the navy.
Zhang Yi laughed. "Brother Xiang, be calm. Anyway, these big guys are all yours, and others can’t take them away. Why are you in such a hurry? Even when you entered the bridal chamber, you weren’t in such a hurry, right?"
Xu Huaijin and others behind him burst out laughing at Zhang Yi’s words.
Liu Buchan looked at Zhang Yinai with a dissatisfied housewife expression. "You are still joking like this …"
They all laughed and suddenly a man exclaimed, "Look at the sea! Our warship! "
They hurriedly looked at the past and saw a small black spot in the place where the sea and the sky met, and gradually drove towards the military port.
Chinese fleet! But the people on the shore of our fleet are full of emotion. Peng Bai finally hopes to bring his warships back. With them, why are you afraid of the Japanese joint fleet?
The fleet is very fast. In just twenty minutes, more than a dozen warships approached the military port. The sailors began to anchor and fix the warships on the shore.
At this time, a British official shouted, "I am Wilson, the senior colonel of the British Imperial Navy, who came to escort General Zhang Jian to purchase warships under the orders of the Admiralty!"
Wilson hurried from the sampan and said, "Hello, General Zhang Jian, Prime Minister of Salisbury, General Chamberlain asked me to convey their regards to you."
Zhang Yi laughed. "Thank you for giving my regards to these two old friends."
Wilson said, "General Zhang, when will we officially hand over our warships?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Wilson Pavilion, we can hand you over."
Liu Buchan came quickly, and Zhang Yi said, "Wilson Pavilion, this is the chief naval officer of the Republic of China, and he can make the handover on behalf of me and you."
Liu Buchan laughed. "I didn’t expect Wilson to be your escort to our warship. How can you recognize my old classmate?"
Wilson raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Liu, you are Liu Buchan’s dear. It’s so nice to see you here. We haven’t seen each other for more than ten years. Are you okay?"
Zhang Yi looked surprised. How could this Wilson be familiar with Liu Buchan?
Liu Buchan nodded and smiled. "Well, well, since I purchased Jingyuan two ships from England twelve years ago, we have never seen each other again. Why? You are now a senior colonel, are you going to be promoted to general soon? "
Wilson’s face turned dark and replied, "General? I’m afraid there is no hope for my generation. Now I’m 50 years old. Last year and two years ago, I was promoted to senior colonel. Now the imperial navy is fiercely competitive. There is no background in our army. I’m afraid I will retire in a few years. "
Zhang Yi asked, "Xiang, why are you still ignorant in Wilson Pavilion?"
Liu Buchan said with a smile, "I went to study at Williams Naval Academy in England. At that time, Wilson was my senior and entered the college one year earlier than me. However, the two of us have known him for a long time. However, he is an expert in the British Navy and has a good knowledge of naval construction strategy. He is a leader in the British Navy."
Zhang Yi’s eyes brightened and Liu Buchan meant that Liu Buchan wanted to find a way to see if he could stay in Wilson’s future naval university.
Zhang Yi made a color and said, "Wilson Pavilion, you’ve come a long way. I think it’s better to stay in Fengtian for a while and see our exotic scenery in China. I think you will like the land here."
Wilson laughed. "Anyway, the Admiralty hasn’t given me a limit. I’ll take it as a holiday when I return, but this handover needs to be completed as soon as possible. The Admiralty is still waiting for my news."
Zhang Yi laughed. "That smells good. You arrange for someone to receive all the warships immediately and then invite all the British naval warriors to enter the port to rest. We will treat the guests from a long distance well."
One side Tang Shaoyi said in the first two steps that "the welcome ceremony can be started now."
Zhang Yi nodded and Tang Shaoyi began to decorate to detain the whole Lushun port boiling up.
After the handover, Zhang Yi and Liu Buchan welcomed Wilson’s important assistants into Jinzhou Prefecture. At this time, people who came from Shengjing had gradually returned to Shengjing, leaving only a few people such as Tang Shaoyi Xu Huaijin.
Zhang Yi’s Jinzhou yamen hosted a grand dinner in honor of Wilson.
Xi Zhangyi asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you have any wishes for coming to Fengtian this time? If so, I will try my best to realize them."
Wilson’s eyes flashed and he said, "General Jian, I heard that there is no elite in Cang Lang Tianshuang World. My greatest wish is to see the elegance of Cang Lang and see how powerful Cang Lang is!"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Mr. Wilson, this is very simple. You will follow me to Shengjing, my Cang Lang base near Shengjing. You can’t see it here. You can see my Cang Lang elite!"
Wilson exultation said, "the strong general China to be honest can attract me, that is, you Cang Lang. What can’t he see in the British Empire? Haha, after I returned to England, I had the opportunity to brag with my colleagues. I am the first British person to see Cang Lang! "
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Then I’ll make sure you get what you want, Mr. Wilson." Wilson nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, General Jian." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Wilson, my brother Xiang learned something about you. You are an excellent general of the British Navy. I have a request. I wonder if Mr. Wilson can promise?"

Chapter five hundred and thirty-two Warm invitation to Wilson
Wilson asked blankly, "General Jian, if you need help, you can directly find our Prime Minister or our Secretary of the Navy. I am just a small naval senior colonel. What can I do for you?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Wilson Pavilion can help me with this matter, Mr. Salisbury. They certainly can’t."
Wilson suddenly became interested and asked, "General Jian, what on earth can I do?"
Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Wilson, that is, I want to hire you as the military instructor of our upcoming naval university. I wonder what you think?"
Wilson was shocked when he heard this and said, "General Jian, you also know that I am still an active soldier of the British Empire. It is impossible for me to become an instructor of your naval university. Our national laws do not allow me to wait until I retire from active service."
Zhang yi said, "didn’t you just say that, Mr. Wilson?" You haven’t been promoted to general in your lifetime, and I hope that you will stop at the senior colonel in this life. What’s the difference between retiring from active service one year earlier and retiring one year later? Besides, you have come to our naval university to teach me and I can promise you that you will get five times the salary of your navy! "
"Five times!"
Wilson was completely shocked by his salary of five times. Now his salary is middle class in Britain. If he really accepts Zhang Yi’s invitation, he may become a millionaire in the future!
