Chapter 435 Lin Haifeng just sat firmly in his office of the National Defense and Military Commission. Chief of Staff Huang Zaixing took a telegram and happily

"Chairman, they have gone far away, we..." The new Navy Director Tang Zhengcai looked at the Chairman's wife Liu Xianghe who was wiping something down on the corner of her eyes with her hands on her back. Then he looked at Lin Haifeng, who seemed to have no intention of going there, and asked in a slight voice.

"Go to your place," Lin Haifeng turned slowly, subconsciously made the decision to return to the Red Navy headquarters located in Tianjin City. It seemed that only when he got there could he be with the soldiers of the expedition at any time.

"Comrade Chairman, have you already agreed with Chairman Yang in the morning that we must rush back to Beijing this afternoon?" Hearing Lin Haifeng's casual words, Liu Xianghe roared hard at the corner of her wet eyes, then quickly put down her hand and turned her face to remind her husband.

"Oh...oh...hehe, I almost forgot," Lin Haifeng smiled and looked at Liu Xianghe, then at Tang Zhengcai and Luo Jilong, commander of the Bohai Fleet behind him. Finally, he gave a affectionate glance at the vast blue sea, "Then go back to Tianjin first, and then turn back to Beijing."

When Lin Haifeng was riding on the carriage leading to Tianjin, the transport fleet carrying Liu Xihe and his more than 10,000 Red Marine soldiers had already joined the other larger fleet that had been waiting for them for a long time on the sea.

This huge fleet was trained in the Bohai Sea waters for a long time. Now it is about to go to the Lanfang Special Zone and be included in the first fleet of the Red Sea Fleet. It is headed by the "Kunlun" and composed of eighteen new cruisers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom God-class warships.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen mighty dome-armored steam cruisers were divided into two teams, and the first team of three warships led by the "Tarshan" were the first to cut the slash as the forwards.

The fifteen warships of the second team guarded seven troop transport ships in the middle, back and forth, left and right, and then followed up.

When the huge fleet continued to move towards its goal, all the officers and soldiers of the Marine Division stood neatly on the deck. They raised all kinds of weapons in their hands high and shouted towards the coast of the motherland, "For the heavens, move forward!"

This heroic voice overwhelmed the joy of the sea, and it was very far away from the vast sea...

The next morning after returning to Beijing, Lin Haifeng had just sat firmly in his office of the National Defense and Military Commission. Chief of Staff Huang Zaixing entered his office happily with a telegram.

This is also a good news from the sea fleet, but it is not the expeditionary fleet that Lin Haifeng was expecting, because it is too early to get good news from the expeditionary fleet.

This telegram comes from North Korea, from the Korean War Zone secretly hosted by Chen Tingxiang.

Lin Haifeng received the telegram and looked carefully on it carefully. A smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Well, okay, it's time for these Japanese slaves to compensate North Korea."

Since the North Korean army launched an eight-day counterattack on the Eastern Front in April 1868, not only annihilated more than 30,000 Japanese CSKA, but also recovered all the areas between the east and west ridges, including the Gangling Protectorate. Since the energetic North Korea needs to accumulate strength again, the dirt-faced Japanese side needs enough time to heal its wounds. Therefore, in the next few months, apart from some irrelevant quarrels, the two sides on the land basically fell into a stalemate.

The defeat on the battlefield and the panic about the Great Purge, the Japanese army is not only depressed, but also in danger of themselves. Almost everyone has become a disgusted person. Except for some necessary words, no one will say another word. Not only that, everyone must be wary of thieves, and beware of almost everyone around them, for fear that if anyone is unhappy, they will regard themselves as the target of justice and report to the supreme justice group.

In order to revitalize morale and to rebuild the military authority of the CSKA, Prince Inwadi Miyagi Yazawa, as the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Army, had to frequently travel to and from Edo, his local Expeditionary Army General Headquarters in Gyesangdo, North Korea to seek more assistance from Tokugawa Ishimao and Paulin for his dispatched army.

In mid-September, a 100,000 new army of reinforcements from local sources finally landed in North Korea.

Therefore, with the assistance of General Saigo Longsheng, commander of the Western Front Legion, and Lieutenant General Aitomo Yama County, and others, Prince Jiazhang formulated a plan for the dispatched troops. He was preparing to launch a large-scale offensive operation on the east and west fronts at the same time, not only to recapture the Jiangling Protectorate on the East Front, but also to seize Seoul on the Western Front.

The time for this full-scale attack is scheduled for early November. At that time, the four new troops led by Shinsaku Takasugi, Ritsuto Okupo, Shinki Arima, Shinki, and Matsudon, will all come forward.

However, just as his land offensive operation was getting closer, his army, which was originally needed to rely on a victory to revive it, was immediately beaten to death by a sudden big failure.

In view of the outbreak of the Korean War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government issued a warning order for all foreign ships passing through the East Ocean (Yellow Sea) and the Southern Ocean (East Sea) and other seas. Although Prince Jiazhang and his knowledgeable people knew very well that if the mighty Central Navy could be driven to Incheon and other places, it would bring immense help to the CSKA brothers on the land. However, they still did not dare to step beyond the line.

Prince Kazhang could only call his naval fleet, and was in aggrieved in the Korean Strait and the Whale Sea (Korean known as the East China Sea of ​​Korea, and now the Japanese call it the Sea of ​​Japan).

Faced with the North Koreans who had no fundamental power at sea, they had a huge fleet but could not provide effective firepower support to the brothers on the land on the Western Front. Whether it was Prince Jiazhang himself, the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, or the navy generals in the fleet, they all felt great shame.

So, the commander of the third team, Jiu Beng Xuan Rui, who was responsible for patrolling the Korean Strait, could only wander off the southern coast of Jeolladao all day long, looking for opportunities to vent his anger at the area where the North Korean mob was said to be haunted by North Korean mobs.

On November 2, Jiubian Hyun-sue and his third team drove out from Lishui Port in Jeolladao as usual, and wandered leisurely towards Jeju Island without doing anything.

Near noon, he fell in the captain's room of his flagship "Chisuisui Maru". He was using a sea textbook written by British consultants to spend his boring time. He actually heard the whimpering alarm sounded from the conch horn on the ship. Then, amid the sound of busy footsteps, a sailor gasped and pale-faced suddenly crashed into his cabin.

"Sir, no, I'm discovering North Korea's huge naval formation!"
