Although even if they did not hand over the naval base to the Chinese Navy, Li Hui also believed that the second batch of Haitian-class patrols would have the ability to directly take them after they entered service, but whether it was time-consuming or costly, it would certainly be much greater than now.

Therefore, in return, Li Hui gave the Japanese Navy special preferential treatment, not only by reorganizing it into a Marine Corps as a punishment for the Japanese Army, but also directly strengthening the strength of the Japanese Navy, and at the same time making it completely monopolize the Japanese military circles.

Since then, the Japanese government has only been able to allocate all its military spending to the navy, which has always been a delusional dream of the Japanese navy, but it has become a reality with the help of the former enemy, which has made the Japanese navy generals have mixed feelings in their hearts.

In addition, the Chinese navy has promised to help the Japanese navy rebuild, not only in terms of personnel training, but also in the transfer of ships. With the entry of the second batch of Haitian-class patrol (in fact, these six warships are not fully equipped with people at all, Li Hui is also bullying Japan and has no navy. and the eight brigades of the navy (including 2 marine brigades and 6 garrison brigades) have been formed, plus the rapidly expanding merchant fleet also needs a lot of veterans, the manpower of the Chinese navy began to be tight, especially Li Hui also has a plan to expand the two marine brigades into divisions, so not only those old ships from the Nanyang Naval Division and the Guangdong Naval Division were all dismantled and replaced with merchant ships, but even the six meritorious old ships of Dingzhen Jinglai Zhijing will also be decommissioned (Laiyuan has also been retired, but no one wants it, so it can only be dismantled and recycled). ）。

It is obviously a more economical option to find a country willing to accept second-hand warships and sell them than to dismantle them outright, and now no country except Japan will buy Chinese warships, so it makes sense to sell them to them.

"Back then, I racked my brains to find a way to deal with Dingzhen, but I never imagined that one day Dingzhen would actually become our own warship, or in this unexpected way." Masayuki Akiyama, who attracted the attention of the Japanese Navy because he was valued by Li Hui and was unusually promoted to the rank of Navy Lieutenant, expressed such feelings after returning to China to see his old friend Masaoka Shiki.

However, what makes the Japanese Navy even more embarrassed is that only a little time has passed, Dingzhen has actually become a classic ship that the Chinese Navy does not look up to, and it is certainly worth being happy that they can buy these two giant ships at a low price, but if you think about it, what is the difference between it and a dog that eats the leftovers at home?

The fact that a meritorious battleship like Dingzhen was disposed of like garbage caused a heated debate within the Chinese Navy, but because of Li Hui's insistence, the two warships were not saved. But Li Hui actually can't do anything about this, because of the existence of the system, the speed of China's warship replacement will be much faster than normal, if this warship can not be sold, that warship was once our pride and cannot be dismantled, how many useless warships will have to be backlogged in the future! You must know that the cost of maintaining a warship is much more expensive than the cost of building it (of course, when it reaches the end of its service life), and the waste caused by the backlog of dozens of useless capital ships is so staggering that even the wealthier Britain and the United States cannot waste it like this.

However, the dissatisfaction of the navy did not last long, because the central government soon issued a new regulation, when the new ships entered service and eliminated the old ships, if the old ships were meritorious, the new ships would inherit the name of the old ships (except for the first ship of each model). The second batch of Haitian-class patrol was also named Chaoyong, Yangwei, Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan and Pingyuan, and the reason why they were not called Laiyuan, Jingyuan and Jiyuan was not because the number of new ships was not enough, but because their performance was not good enough. This new regulation has greatly stimulated the commanders and fighters of the Chinese Navy, and since then they have become more and more courageous in battle, and "the soul of the ship is not extinguished" has become one of the favorite slogans of the Chinese Navy......

Speaking of which, Li Hui originally thought that the Japanese Navy would be regarded as a traitor by the Japanese because it privately handed over the naval base to the Chinese Navy so that the Chinese army could force the Japanese government to submit at a very low price, but Japan's unique culture of fearing the strong and bullying the weak opened his eyes, and many Japanese scholars actually said that if it were not for the "wise move" of the navy, the Chinese army would definitely pay a greater price for attacking Japan, and in that case, the Chinese side would inevitably put forward more stringent demands and even make up its mind to destroy Japan. Therefore, instead of betraying the country, the Navy is saving the country's heroes......

"Although there is some truth to it, if the Japanese Navy did not cooperate, I would really do that. However, there are still some ...... that feel weird", Li Hui unconsciously raised his forehead and sighed after learning this, it is really difficult to understand the sorrow of a small country in a big China that will not be conquered by any enemy as long as it resolutely resists. Well, Japan is actually not small at all, but the location is too awkward, next to China, which is extremely large, it is not a small country but also a small country......

As for Muhito, who has already changed his name to the king of Japan, it is too late to win over the navy, so how can he dare to attack the navy? In fact, after the navy became the only branch of the Japanese military, it was impossible even if he didn't want to lose the tail, and the Meiji was able to have so much authority in Japan before, largely because the navy and army contained each other, and as a monarch, he was able to obtain a transcendent status. Now that the navy is dominant, even if Muren is capable, he can only be an honest mascot. Well, there are still a few loyal servants in the navy, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of us, and the navy, as a community of interests, cannot resist the temptation to become the de facto ruler of Japan, how useful can the opinions of a few royalists be?

Muhito was not completely unaware of this, but the situation at that time was stronger than people, and if he did not agree to the Chinese conditions, he was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life, and it would be much less difficult to kill him, the emperor, than to completely destroy Japan. Being a mascot is certainly aggrieved, but it is better than not dying, not to mention that the situation of the navy dominating itself is not really unbreakable, and before the opportunity arises, Muren will wait patiently like a hibernating snake......

Since China wants to liquidate the crimes of the war, in addition to the Japanese regime, the three major chaebols behind Japan's foreign aggression cannot be spared, but these guys are accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder, and after knowing that the Datong Party is looting gold and silver everywhere, they promise that as long as the Chinese government is merciful, they will be responsible for paying off all the indemnities within 10 years, that is, they will repay 50 million yuan a year with interest.
