1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 231 Lu Chen in Action

As soon as Lu Jiaming bombarded the Xiao Rizi Marine Corps, William sent a telegram to Lu Chen, reporting Xiao Rizi's attack.

When the company's telecommunications room received the telegram, it was already one or two o'clock in the morning. As soon as Li Qiang received the telegram, he sent it to Lu Chen's room.

Lu Chen had just fallen asleep. He didn't fall asleep until after 1932 a.m. He went to bed so late because he remembered that on January 1, 28, Xiao Rizi would launch an attack on the Magic City. But he couldn't remember what time Xiao Rizi launched the attack today. So he had been waiting for news from the Magic City at his residence.

He waited until one o'clock in the morning, but did not receive a telegram from William, which made him think that he had changed history, and Xiaozi might not attack the Magic City in this life. So he did not continue to wait, and went straight to wash and sleep.

But less than an hour after he fell asleep, he was woken up by Li Qiang who came to deliver a telegram.

"Boss! Boss! A telegram has come! A telegram from William has come."

Li Qiang shouted loudly before he even entered the room. It was only after he entered the room that he realized that Lu Chen had already gone to bed. Because it was only after he entered the room that he realized that Lu Chen was looking at him with sleepy eyes.

After a long while, Lu Chen suddenly reacted and anxiously confirmed to Li Qiang:

"Li Qiang, you just said that William sent a telegram?"

Li Qiang said: "Yes, William sent a telegram."

As soon as Li Qiang finished speaking, Lu Chen jumped off the bed impatiently. Then he walked a few steps to Li Qiang's side, stretched out his hand and said to Li Qiang:

"Give me the telegram."

Li Qiang handed the translated telegram to Lu Chen, who clapped his hands in approval after reading it.

"Haha, Xiaozi has suffered a great loss this time. In the first wave of attack, he lost an infantry battalion and a tank squadron. Good job, brother."

Li Qiang also laughed and said, "The defenders really fought well this time. I'm afraid we'll have to suffer for a while now."

Lu Chen nodded. Destroying a tank squadron at once would indeed make Xiao Ri, who was short of resources, feel distressed for a while. But it would also make Xiao Ri, who was narrow-minded, retaliate crazily. Lu Chen couldn't help but worry about his elder brother.

He immediately said to Li Qiang, "Send a telegram to ask William whether the troops launching this attack are from our army or navy. Then have William contact Xu Wenqiang and ask him to help find out if there are any warships outside the Magic City. If so, how many warships there are."

Li Qiang immediately replied: "Okay, boss. I'll go back to the telecommunications room and ask them to send a message to William."

After Li Qiang left, Lu Chen read the telegram again. Then he began to think. He remembered that this time Xiao Ri would drive a warship into the inland river and prepare to bombard Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek was so scared that he almost moved the capital.

Since the warships of Xiaori are going to enter the inland river, can we trick Xiaori in the inland river? If we can sink one or two of Xiaori’s warships, Xiaori will definitely be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen began to recall the exact time when the warship entered the inland river. But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember the exact time.

He now regrets that he didn't memorize the historical knowledge points well. It's hard for him to do anything now.

Although he didn't know the exact time, he decided to be prepared. It would take more than one day for a warship to enter the inland river. Also, if they wanted to bombard Nanjing, they had to go through the Yangtze River. This time the battle was in the Magic City, but there was no war in Guangzhou. So it was relatively safe there. He could take his men there to ambush in advance.

After making the decision, Lu Chen lost all desire to sleep. He immediately got dressed, left his residence, and headed towards Hans' room.

Lu Chen soon arrived at Hans' dormitory door, and then he knocked on the door. Soon after, Hans yawned and walked out. He asked confusedly:

"Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door so late? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten?"

Lu Chen looked at Hans, whose eyelids were drooping. Suddenly he shouted:

"Hans, the enemy is coming to attack."

Hans immediately woke up, turned back to his room, picked up his rifle and was about to go out, but when he walked out the door, he found that it was Lu Chen standing at the door. He asked in confusion:

"Boss, why are you here and the enemy is there?"

Lu Chen said embarrassedly: "There is no enemy, I just want to talk to you about something."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, he took Lu Chen to the dormitory in displeasure. This boss, he is still joking at this late hour. Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Hans complained in his heart.

After entering the house, Hans put down his gun and asked:

"Boss, what do you want so late?"

Lu Chen asked: "Hans, let me ask you a question. What weapon is best to use against warships?"

Hans answered without thinking: "Of course it's a warship."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Besides the warships?"

Hans thought for a moment, then said, "Submarines are also fine, but they are prone to never coming back."

Lu Chen was drunk. There were warships and submarines. Where could he get these weapons now? Even if he got them, he wouldn't be able to use them. Lu Chen said speechlessly:

"These weapons don't count. Are there any other weapons?"

Hans thought for a moment and said, "The only way is to use a minelayer. Lay mines under the water and wait for the warship to hit it."

Mine-laying boat, I still don’t know how to use this. Lu Chen thought about it and asked:

"Hans, do you know how to use a minelayer?"

"Why wouldn't this be useful? It's just a matter of driving a ship and dropping mines in the water."

Hans said casually.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked again, "Does this mine require a professional mine-laying boat?"

Hans thought for a moment and said, "It seems possible, but it would be very labor-intensive. A mine usually weighs more than 10 to 20 kilograms. If it is laid manually, it would consume a lot of physical energy."

Lu Chen didn't care about the physical exertion. If this thing required a professional minelayer, where would he get it? It was just right to lay mines manually. He could directly make some mines and transport them directly to Yangcheng. When the ship that got Xiaori entered the Yangtze River, he would rent another ship and pull the mines to lay mines in the Yangtze River. When it came out, he would send them directly to see the Dragon King.

Lu Chen said to Hans, "You can go back to sleep now. Tomorrow we will take the people and set off for Yangcheng, China."

After saying that, Lu Chen left Hans' dormitory and walked towards Li Qiang's office. He was going to call Green there and ask him to prepare a batch of mines for him and then arrange a ship to send his people to Yangcheng.
