Section 313 Naval Rebirth
After more than a month of fierce negotiations, in September 1917, China and Japan finally reached an agreement and signed the "Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty", in which Japan agreed to China's most important demand, and the indemnity was reduced to 1 billion taels.

You must know that Yang Chao borrowed 10 billion national bonds from Yuan Shikai to Li Yuanhong, and all of them were pressed on the Japanese, not to mention selling their daughters, and even their mothers were not enough to sell.
Yang Chao's purpose was to control Japan, so he didn't have much interest in the issue of reparations, so he gave up a lot of reparations.
Japan's treaty equivalent to surrender made the whole world understand who the master of the East would be in the future, and everyone looked at this suddenly rising Oriental dragon with some horror, not knowing who they would extend their claws to next?
However, the whole of East Asia can be said to be celebrated by the whole world, from the cold Heilongjiang to the warm Taiwan, firecrackers resounded in the sky, and even the Ryukyus, which was annexed by the Japanese for nearly half a century, there are many people celebrating, of course, there are also depressed, many Japanese people are naturally sad, but the local Ryukyuan people are still the majority, and they have not been completely assimilated by the Japanese.
The warmest are still North Korea and Taiwan.
From the Yalu River to Incheon, there were already more than two million Chinese defense army soldiers, and when they heard that Japan had surrendered, countless soldiers cheered, threw up their hats, belts, steel helmets, everything they could throw, and after throwing things, they began to throw people again.
This kind of Chinese soldiers are so happy, not to mention the Koreans, they have returned to the country, they have also won, and they have asked the Japanese to pay 400 million taels, just one sentence The Korean people stood up.
Countless Koreans flocked to the Wehrmacht barracks, bringing pigs, cattle and sheep one after another, and this was the only way to express their feelings for North Korea, which had been looted by the Japanese and began to starve to death.
Of course, the few North Korean troops are also the object of preferential treatment, Jin Jiu led this army from north to south, although they did not fight many hard battles, but they also had enough reasons to celebrate, when the so-called three thousand miles of rivers and mountains were lost, only they were fighting.
At the same time, warships and merchant ships, carrying 20,000 vanguard troops, crossed the strait that is closely linked to China's fate, and the port of Kaohsiung has long been filled with excited people, who are carrying a load of wine and a bouquet of flowers, waiting for the soldiers from the motherland.
Taiwan, the children who once went out of China, he walked so reluctantly, the Japanese landed in Taiwan, the Qing government abandoned them, they resisted bravely, and the Japanese paid the price of 30,000, which is twice the number of Japanese soldiers who died in the First Sino-Japanese War.
Moreover, Taiwan's continuous uprisings lasted until 1907, and the time when the Japanese completely occupied Taiwan was only ten years, so the vast majority of Taiwanese people were devoted to the motherland.
In addition to a large number of civilians in the port, there were also more than 10,000 Japanese troops, who would surrender their weapons here, complete the surrender ceremony, and then withdraw to Japan on Japanese ships.
The night before, these Japanese troops who stayed in Taiwan knew the news, and there were hundreds of guys who could not accept the defeat and went directly to seppuku.
When the first battalion of Chinese soldiers set foot on Kaohsiung soil.
Taiwan has returned to the motherland.
In Japan, there were also Chinese soldiers landing, not only well-equipped army troops, but also navy soldiers called merchant ships, who would drive away Japanese warships as they went.
The Chinese soldiers stepped onto the Yokosuka military port, and then stepped on the Japanese warships moored on the pier one by one, saluted each other with the Japanese naval officers and men, and then marched to the warships in a procession, completing the handover ceremony.
Yamamoto Fifty-six stood on the dock, he watched this scene with his own eyes, and he regretted it extremely at this time.
What he regretted was not that he helped Hirohito launch a mutiny, but that he never insisted on fighting a war with the Chinese, he and many young officers led the team and drove this warship back from Britain, but did not fight a battle, and handed it over to the Chinese, as if they were specially for the Chinese to keep this fleet.
As the core of the Young Zhuang faction that supported Hirohito's seizure of power, Yamamoto Isoroku was also greatly used, and he was appointed commander of the navy, and he would also be the last commander of the navy.
As a naval officer, he regretted not fighting a war with the Chinese, but as a naval commander, he did not regret refusing to fight, and even under the pressure of his powerful bombs, the radical officers in the navy did not scuttle the warships and handed them over to China completely, because these warships could compensate for 500 million taels of silver.
"I said I would give you an explanation, and now I can give it to you."
After taking the senior admirals with him and completing the handover ceremony with the senior Chinese officers on the docks, Yamamoto said to the frustrated naval officers.
At that time, he strongly opposed the proposal of these people to scuttle all the warships to save the last face of the navy, and he said at that time that he would definitely give these people an explanation.
Everyone looked at Yamamoto Fifty-six, they knew that Yamamoto's opinion was right, why bother to let the country bear an additional 500 million taels of indemnity for the sake of temporary anger.
Since they lost, the Japanese have a kind of tolerance to accept defeat, which is also one of the spirits of bushido.
Everyone was looking at Yamamoto Fifty-six, and Yamamoto Fifty-six was looking west, and it was a sea that could only be seen in sight.
But Yamamoto Fifty-six saw in his mind the vast land and the many people, and that was the excesses of Yangming.
Yamamoto thought about it, pulled out his pistol and shot him in the head.
The Navy is gone, and the commander of the Navy should not exist.
The other officers didn't stop them, not because they were too late, but because most of them had already made up their minds to follow Yamamoto, and Yamamoto gave them an explanation, and they should also give Yamamoto an explanation.
After receiving the entire Japanese fleet, the Chinese Navy suddenly had 10 powerful fleets with super dreadnoughts as the core, plus the Japanese cruisers and the cruisers built by the Chinese shipyards at this time, the Chinese fleet suddenly had nearly 100 warships, with a total tonnage of 500,000 tons.
And these warships are all new ships with excellent performance. The personnel were also formed from the more than 10,000 remaining naval officers and men who participated in the Battle of Tokyo Bay at that time, and the navy already had a soul and a true maritime spirit.
Of course, they are still a nascent navy, and among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, only 10 percent have experience in naval warfare, and the vast majority of the others are either students who graduated from the Yantai Naval Academy or ordinary young people who do not have any naval experience.
But no one dared to underestimate this fleet, because the first order they received was to take the first step towards Chinese colonization by accepting the Mariana Islands, and then they would also sail to other German colonies to challenge the British Empire, which had dominated the seas for hundreds of years.
