ps: Thank you for the 1000 starting coins of the little cabbage stewed mushrooms and the 100 starting coins of 88 pure hundred students!

The monetary policy of the gold standard was uniformly implemented, and the economic and trade between the Han and the Western countries developed rapidly, among which the economic exchanges between the newly established German Empire and the Han were the closest.

Han was the first to authorize German companies to use several patents related to bicycles, such as pneumatic tires, gears, and inflatable cylinders, and only charged a small fee, and then new weapons invented and improved by the Han Dynasty such as mortars and grenades, as well as agricultural products such as livestock meat and fish produced in the territory of the Han Kingdom, were also introduced to Germany, and the economic and trade volume between the two sides expanded year by year.

On the basis of the continuous introduction of Western technology, the local food canning and food refrigeration technology of Han gradually developed, especially after the introduction of new food refrigeration technology from Australia in 1875, the shelf life of fishery products and meat in Han China was longer, and more agricultural products could be transported to other regions by sea.

Benefiting from the expansion of maritime trade between the Han Kingdom and other countries, Yang Kaifu did not have to worry about the fish caught not being sold, and then rotting and smelling, however, after sorting out the sea fish on the boat with his son, Yang Kaifu found that there were too many fish caught this time, and the fishing boat was too far away from the port, if some of the sea fish were not abandoned, it would be difficult for the fishing boat to arrive at the port before sunset.

The sea fish on the fishing boat was caught by Yang Kaifu with great difficulty, and after arriving at the port, all these sea fish could be exchanged for silver or bright Han Yuan banknotes, Yang Kaifu was unwilling to throw away some of the sea fish, and he was worried that he would be late to go back and not be able to catch up with the time for the port merchants to collect the fish.

Unable to make a decision in his heart, Yang Kaifu remembered that a few years ago, the official in charge of selling the boat advised him to borrow more money from the government and buy a slightly larger fishing boat equipped with a steam engine.

Yang Kaifu was regretting his original decision when he suddenly heard his son let out a soft shout.

"Daddy, look! That's the Navy's ironclad! ”

"What a big ironclad!"

Following the direction of his son's finger, Yang Kaifu couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's the Chaoyang, the largest ironclad ship in the Navy!"

Yang Guangzong excitedly said to the ironclad, "After the final exam, the principal took us to the naval base to visit, and I have seen this warship. ”

After the final examination of intermediate students, the school will arrange for students to visit several universities and military bases of the navy and army to deepen students' understanding of the university and the navy and army, and make reference for their academic choices after graduation.

"Dad, let's ask the navy for help, and ask the navy to pull our fishing boat back to port."

Seeing more than a dozen warships densely packed on the wide sea, Yang Guangzong was excited and made his debut.

"Son, forget it, the navy goes to sea to perform military affairs, if we delay the navy's affairs because of our little thing, we can't afford to be guilty."

Out of the fear of the Chinese people for the government, Yang Kaifu immediately shook his head and objected.

Hetao County is close to the coast, most of the local people make a living from fishing, when he was in the school, Mr. Jiaoshu told Yang Guangzong that fishermen can ask the navy or coast guard for help when they go out to sea and encounter danger, but their fishing boats are a little slower because they carry too many fish, as long as they throw away some of the sea fish, the boats can return to the port before dark, and it is not appropriate to ask the navy warships for help at this time.

After hearing his father's words, Yang Guangzong dispelled the idea of asking for help from the navy in a moment of excitement, and at the same time, Li Han and Hu Yaji, vice minister of foreign affairs, who were preparing to sail to the sea to carry out their mission, also saw small fishing boats moored on the sea.

"General Li, there seems to be an accident on the fishing boat in front, do you want to send someone to pick it up?"

Li Han was the commander of the Navy's Second Fleet, and although Hu Yaji was in charge of this mission, he still asked for his opinion first to show respect.

"As it should be." Li Han nodded, beckoned and ordered a small gunboat to be sent close to the fishing boat to check the situation.

The appearance of fishing boats in front of him was just a small episode, and after sending out the gunboats, Li Han continued to talk to Hu Yaqi: "After escorting six gunboats to Kismayo, the fleet will continue to sail along the east coast of Africa, through the Suez Canal through the Red Sea, and from the Mediterranean Sea to France, and then the fleet will receive two new warships at the French Mediterranean shipyard, and then accompany Hu to visit the German Empire." ”

"The Manchu government has sent Guo Songtao and Liu Xihong to serve as British and German diplomats for two years, and His Royal Highness is worried that Guo and Liu will obstruct the cooperation between the Western powers and the Han State, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Navy to receive ironclad ships to send an envoy to Europe, on the one hand, to use warships to boost the national prestige of our Han State, and on the other hand, to deepen the cooperative relationship with Germany and prevent the Manchu government from stirring up discord."

"Since the occupation of northern Argentina by the Wehrmacht, the Manchu government has become more and more vigilant against the Han state, and although the Wehrmacht has restrained its troops in northern Annam from clashing with the Manchu army, it has no choice but to guard against the Manchu government's diplomatic discord."

Li Han nodded in agreement, and his face, blackened by the sea breeze, showed a steady expression.

Ten years later, Li Han was promoted from a down-and-out pirate to the commander of the Second Fleet, one of the two main fleets of the Han Navy, and succeeded the former commander of the Second Fleet, Hans, with a military rank that crossed the rank of colonel and became a rear admiral of the Han Navy.

After the Argentine War, the Wehrmacht's navy and army did not experience a large-scale war for more than eight years, and the positions of senior officers in the army entered a period of stability after the initial rapid promotion.

In the navy, there are only two generals, Chen Sen, commander of the First Fleet, and Li Han, commander of the Second Fleet, and on the army side, after Chen Guozhu, Li Sandou, and Zhang Ansong, three old men of the Taiping Army who were born as kings and guards, retired from active service, there are less than 10 generals left in the army.

The population of the Han Kingdom increased rapidly, and the size of the Wehrmacht's navy and army also expanded correspondingly, with a total of 4,200 navy members, including marines and frogmen. Each of the Army's four divisions was expanded to 12,000 men, and the full strength was 16,000. The three mixed brigades were expanded to 6,000 and the full strength was 9,000, and the cavalry brigade and artillery brigade were expanded to cavalry divisions and artillery divisions, with an establishment of 8,000 and 10,000 respectively.

The Engineer Corps, the Military Police Corps, and the Special Forces were expanded into the Engineer Command, the Gendarmerie Command, and the Special Forces Command, with an establishment of 4,000, 3,000, and 1,500 respectively.

The total strength of the army is 92,500, and the total strength of the sea and land is 96,700.

Nearly 100,000 field troops are the main force of the national defense force, and in the event of a major war, the Han State can also launch a general mobilization order to recruit soldiers from the garrison army, reserve militia, and young and middle-aged people to supplement the main force of the field army.
