"Boss, there's a telegram from the port. The current water situation allows entry. At around 5 PM, we will reach Jinxi Harbor (later Huludao)!”A tall white middle-aged man walked onto the deck.
Feng Ping nodded and did not say anything else. She would be able to see her parents in about ten hours. This made him feel a sense of nostalgia.
The middle-aged man was Simon, the general manager of the Pacific Group. This time, he returned to the country with Feng Ping in response to Feng Ping's request to build an arsenal so that he could be self-sufficient in weapons and equipment.
In the future, he would build a series of heavy industry factories and light industry factories.
Now that the war in Europe was raging, the consumption of various industrial products was very large. It was time to make a lot of money.
Before the war, the United States of America and Japan owed Europe a huge debt. However, after the war in Europe, did Europe owe the United States of America and Japan a huge debt?
Feng Ping naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to make a fortune.
"In addition, the following five cargo ships have also set off from San Francisco.”Simon said.
"Alright, I got it." Feng Ping replied.
The following five cargo ships were loaded with machinery and weapons. The cargo ship they were on now, the 'Eastern Giant' was also loaded with weapons and equipment. There were 20,000 M1903 rifles, 1,000 M1913 light machine guns modified from Madsen light machine guns, 200 MG08 heavy machine guns, 200 mortars of various calibers, 36 M1913 75mm field cannons modified from French M1897, 12 M1914 105mm light howitzers, and a large amount of ammunition.
"Hey, guys, so you're all here! I'm bored to death. Let's go play cards?”A handsome, muscular white man with blond hair walked up.
His name was Davidson, Feng Ping's classmate at West Point, and they were very close.
However, the size of the United States Army was too small, and many West Point graduates did not have a good place to go. After being tricked by Feng Ping, she followed him here.
"No, Davidson, we'll be there soon.”Feng Ping shook his head.
"Alright, Feng, you're always so boring!”Davidson shrugged.
At this moment, a warship appeared on the sea in the distance and was speeding towards them. The Rising Sun Flag fluttering on the warship looked so disgusting.
"Japanese warships!" Feng Ping recognized him immediately.
This was one of the Japanese's first generation Kamikaze class destroyer.
Right now, the country was defenseless.
The weak navy had long lost control of the sea. In other words, after the 1894 - 1895 war, the Tang navy no longer dared to confront the navies of the other countries.
The navies of the great powers could rampage through the coastal waters and even the inland rivers.
"One day, I will definitely change this situation. No country's warships can enter or leave our territorial waters at will!”Feng Ping swore in his heart.
"What are those Japanese shorties trying to do? They seem to be coming for us?" Davidson looked at the approaching Japanese warships and frowned.
"Humph! We are the warships of the United States of America, are the Japanese looking for trouble?”Simon was not worried at all.
In this era, the world was in the hands of the western world. This also allowed the white people to have a supreme status in this world.
"Boss, the Japanese military ship sent a telegram, asking us to stop the ship for inspection, claiming that there are dangerous items on our ship!”The captain walked over with a dark face.
"Idiot! Can't you tell those damn Japanese dwarves that this is a United States of America ship and they have no right to inspect us? I want to see if they dare to board the ship by force!”Davidson cursed.
"Yes, Boss!" The captain immediately went to send a telegram.
On the Japanese Navy's destroyer, White Dew, Captain Arisu Nakamura was furious.
"Bastard! Damned white pig! Those damn cowboys from the United States of America, how dare they not give face to the Japanese Empire! Don't they know that the entire east is now under our control?”Senior Captain Arisu Nakamura cursed.
Even though the United States of America had the world's strongest industrial strength and a top-ranking navy. However, overall, the military strength of the United States of America was not strong. As a result, the Japanese Empire did not place the United States of America in their eyes at all.
Especially since the war in Europe had broken out, the western powers were unable to take care of themselves, which gave the Japanese a chance to dominate the East.
The White Dew destroyer was just a small destroyer with a full displacement of 450 tons. It was only equipped with two 40-caliber 80mm single guns, four 28-caliber 80mm single guns, and two 450mm medium-sized torpedoes.
However, on the Bohai Strait, they displayed the same imposing manner as battleships.
"Captain, Westerners are used to being arrogant. One day, we will let them understand that the entire East is ours!”Another officer, Second Lieutenant Inoue, said.
"Yuxi! Inoue Kun, you are absolutely right. When those white pigs start killing each other, it will be the time for our Dongying Empire to rise and dominate the entire East!”Senior Captain Arisu Nakamura nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Captain. However, now was not the time to offend them.”Inoue Huan Zheng reminded.
Although he was unwilling, Senior Captain Arisu Nakamura still nodded.
"Let them go for now!"
Then, the destroyer White Dew quickly turned around on the surface of the sea and returned to the Liaodong Peninsula.
The Liaodong Peninsula was no longer part of the country. After the war between Japan and Russia, it had been occupied by the Japanese.
"The Japanese are gone. I told you, they don't dare to be enemies with the United States of America!”Simon said proudly.
"We are the most powerful country in the world!”Davidson was also very proud.
"Simon, send a telegram to San Francisco. We need to acquire a shipyard. I need the ability to build warships. In two years, I want to build a shipyard in the northeast that can build warships.”Feng Ping's face was filled with determination.
"Alright, Boss!" Simon smiled and nodded. He knew that Feng Ping was provoked by the Japanese's warship.
Even though he believed that it was very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to build a strong navy. However, who asked the boss to be rich? Being rich was willful. He could do whatever he wanted!
