Chapter 1244: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Thirty-Four) Reluctance to Leave
"It's different? The navy drills are just about grabbing the limelight, with horizontal and vertical formations. What else is special?" Guo Han was a little curious.
"Don't say it, don't say it. You will know it by then. By the way, are you going back to Jicheng soon?" Kou Shuguang asked with a smile.
"Yes, the trip to Yingcheng has been fruitful. There are many things that Ma has to do in a hurry. There is no need to delay. If we start a day earlier, it will be more helpful to our Han Dynasty's great cause of unifying the world!" Guo Han smiled. road.
"Okay, after the exercise is over, I will go to Jicheng to take up my post. Let's go together then. Follow me and you can walk faster." Kou Shuguang nodded.
"Listen to what you mean, are you still reluctant to leave the navy? Lao Kou, you are going to discuss politics this time. That is the highest authority of our men except the king. Look at the people here now, Jiang Sir, needless to say, Yan Yizheng, Wu Yizheng, Zhou Yizheng, which one is not a well-known and long-established figure, but you are a rising star. You have reached such a high position at such a young age. Aren't you satisfied? Guo Han said angrily: "If I leave the National Security Bureau in the future, I will still have to beg you to take care of me!"
Kou Shuguang smiled bitterly and pulled Guo Han to sit down, "If I hadn't met you, an old friend, and I know you are the most severe-tongued, I would never have said these words. It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I feel really uncomfortable holding it in my heart.”
Seeing Kou Shuguang's appearance, Guo Han's expression became serious, "Hey, you really don't want to be a political advisor, do you? Such a good thing. Others can't even ask for it!"
"You said before that I am a rising star." Kou Shuguang murmured: "Lao Guo, I am in the navy. I am the boss. I can do whatever I want. No one dares to pick on me. You You know, when we were overseas, we beat the natives on those islands until they were unable to fight back. It felt so good to have them all kneel at their feet and beg for mercy!"
"That's true." Guo Han smiled. "An old friend said, I'd rather be a chicken head than a cow queen. This time you go to the political affairs hall, you really want to be a cow queen. But it's not as serious as you think. If you go, you must be in charge of maritime affairs. , In this regard, no one else has as much experience as you, and it’s not you who takes the lead.”
"There are things you don't know here." Kou Shuguang lowered his voice, "Do you know why Li Yizheng resigned this time?"
"I really don't know this yet, it's too sudden." Guo Han shook his head.
"Even a senior member of the National Security Bureau like you doesn't know. This matter is covered up very tightly." Kou Shuguang sighed. "Speaking of it, it's not unfair. Do you know that the entire Qiu fleet was wiped out in the Ryukyu Sea?"
Guo Han's eyes suddenly widened.
There was a look of horror on his face, "This, is this related to Li Yizheng?"
Kou Shuguang didn't answer, turned his head to the window, and said after a while: "You can hide this from others, but how can you hide it from me? After everything happened, Mrs. Li sent me one hundred thousand yuan, one hundred thousand yuan! Guo Han . Do you think I dare?”
"Of course I can't take it!" Kou Shuguang shook his head and said, "I returned the money, but I didn't report them, not for anything else, but for Li Quan, Li Can's youngest son, who has been with me these past few years. After going through life and death, this guy saved my life several times during the battle on the island. I originally thought that this matter would be covered up, but I never thought... "
"Old Kou, you are really confused. You are from the Supervisory Yuan. There are many things that others don't know, but you don't know. Aren't you looking for death?" Guo Han changed his color, "This can hide Yes? You should report the truth to the king as soon as possible."
Kou Shuguang sighed and remained silent, "Not long after, the king sent a special person to deliver a letter to me, and he scolded me. Then Li Quan was transferred from the navy, and he still arrived Went to a ship repair shop. Speaking of which, he really didn't know anything about this. He and I were still overseas at the time. Because of his father's involvement, he never thought of returning to the navy to lead troops in this life. . What a good naval general, so useless."
Kou Shuguang sighed. "Lao Guo, a scholar, grew up into a navy general in just a few years. Do you know how much hardship he suffered and how tired he was? Unfortunately, it is all in vain now."
"It's not necessarily that he was wronged. That hundred thousand yuan was the one he gave to you, right?" Guo Han said coldly.
"Your eyes are poisonous." Kou Shuguang said with a smile: "That's true." He stood up and walked to the big case on the side, stroking a spherical object with his hand and turning it slowly.
"What is this?" Guo Han asked curiously.
"The king made this with his own hands and gave it to me. I once said that I would build a kingdom for the king where the sun never sets. Wherever the sun rises, there will be the Yellow Dragon Flag of our Han Dynasty. This thing, the king called him Make a globe. The khaki ones above are all land, and there are all kinds of people on them. Come on, come and take a look. This one is called Europa, and the people on it are all white people. This one is called Africa, and all the people on it are black people. This one is called Africa, and all the people on it are black people. It’s America. Your Majesty once asked me to target this land as my next step. I had already made plans, but now, everything has come to nothing.”
"You are in charge of political affairs and are in charge of maritime affairs. This matter is not all your responsibility." Guo Han lay on the table and stared at the slowly rotating globe with wide eyes. "This blue thing is the sea. This is the sea." How big the sea is!"
Kou Shuguang shook his head and said: "You have never experienced the feeling of standing on a newly discovered land. Naturally, you don't have the same emotion as me. If I really have to choose, I would rather still be my naval commander and lead the navy of the Han Dynasty." Master, go discover new continents one after another, and plant our Yellow Dragon flag on those new lands one after another. How can this feeling be compared to sitting in the cramped public hall of Zhengshi Hall!"
Guo Han really couldn't understand Kou Shuguang's feelings. In his opinion, sitting in the public hall of the Political Affairs Hall was such a wonderful thing. The wind couldn't blow him, the rain didn't catch him, and he didn't have to worry about his life. Compared with Kou Shuguang, The life of a desperado now is infinitely better. It is simply unparalleled in the world!
"How big the sea is!" he was still sighing.
"Of course, the sea is very big. Only when you are in it will you know how small you are!" Kou Shuguang laughed, "Forget it, I feel a lot more relaxed after talking to you so much. Let's go, Shishi It’s almost here, I’ll take you to see the drill this time.”
"Okay, let's take a look and see what's different!" Guo Han straightened up, took two steps, and looked back at the globe, "Old Kou, is this world really so big? Why am I looking at it? We big guys only have such a small space here?"
Kou Shuguang laughed and put his hand on Guo Han's shoulder, "Let's go, Lao Guo, you have never been out, you will never understand."
The building boat started slowly and sailed towards the distance. Standing on the top of the building boat, looking back at the little ant-like merchant ships getting further and further away, Guo Han suddenly felt Kou Shuguang's reluctance to leave. Sitting on the top of such a big ship and looking at the mountains below, there are really some heroes in the world, who else but me can express this feeling.
After walking upstream for about half an hour, the river surface was almost twice as wide as before, making it seem vast and boundless. On the river, a three-story building ship has been moored. A little further away, there are two or three ships parked. Guo Han only glanced at it and recognized it even if he was not familiar with naval ships. The two or three ships look like the navy ships of Chu State.
"Are you going to practice one-on-three?" Guo Han said with a smile, "Isn't this a bit unreliable?"
Water warfare is very different from land warfare. Basically, it still follows the principle of the one with the largest number of ships wins. In Guo Han's opinion, one against three, this is a rhythm that will be beaten.
"Really? Then I'll show you something new today!" Kou Shuguang laughed, "Let's change boats and go to that battleship."
Guo Han followed Kou Shuguang into the boat with hesitation and doubt, and sailed towards the three-story ship ahead.
As soon as he boarded the three-story ship, Guo Han immediately discovered the difference in the ship. On the warships of the Han Dynasty, a bed crossbow was installed on the bow and stern, while on both sides of the ship, there were usually Loaded with divine machine crossbows, during naval operations, if someone wants to help them board a Han warship, the blow of these divine machine crossbows will be fatal.
At least Guo Han knew that during Kou Shuguang's overseas journey, the navy with this kind of equipment beat the pirates and the indigenous people to the ground countless times, but there was no one on this battleship. Something like this.
"Is this a battleship?" He looked at Kou Shuguang suspiciously.
Kou Shuguang smiled and waved, and the two soldiers standing beside the ship uncovered pieces of felt. Guo Han's eyes immediately widened. Black pipes were located on the two slide rails. As far as he could see at a glance, there were at least a dozen lined up on the side of the ship on this side.
"What is this?" He stepped forward in surprise, reaching out and stroking the cold iron pipe.
"Artillery!" Kou Shuguang said with a smile: "The latest weapon of war completed in cooperation between Jishi City Weapons Research Institute and Yizhen Research Institute." Kou Shuguang patted the dark cannon body: "When gunpowder appeared in the past, many people said that war would Therefore, what I want to say is that the emergence of artillery is the weapon that changes war. "
"Is this a weapon that uses gunpowder?" Guo Han said in surprise.
"Not bad!" Kou Shuguang nodded. "His appearance will turn all the famous generals on this continent into scum, and the original war model will be changed after paying a heavy price."
"So awesome?"
"Of course, the scene you will see soon will prove that what I said is true." Kou Shuguang smiled proudly, turned to an officer and said, "Let's start!" (To be continued)
