Although the main force of the fleet has not yet returned to the port, the fleet is not far from the port, and has contacted the relay station on the ground through the radio station, and after the relay of the four relay stations, half an hour after the telegram was sent, Zhongjing received this battle report from the main fleet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition to this, an hour earlier, Zhongjing had received a telegram from the Shanghai shipyard. The overall situation was not bad, the fleet did not suffer too much damage, and the Yang Yonglin ship, which was rescued by several rescuers, was finally sentenced to death by Wei Han.

This era is not like the later generations, there is that kind of super-large hoisting machine, a 4,000-ton destroyer command tower is hoisted up without much effort, at this time if you want to dismantle the command tower, you must dismantle piece by piece, the hoisting machine can only lift more than 40 tons of weight at one time, if the command tower is removed, and then replace the boiler, test again, and finally in the reinstallation, a complete set of time may take longer than the construction of a new ship, and there is no guarantee that the warship after the reinstallation will be the same as the new ship.

After all, except for the command tower, almost all other places have been blistered, and they have to be rust-proof, and it is better to do a brighter place, but what about those corners of the place? Do you want to tear it down too?

As for the other three warships, it is not a big problem, only local repair or replacement is required, the time given by Wei Han is one month at the earliest, but it will affect the construction period of the warships under construction, and the slow is three months, and the construction period of the warships under construction will not be affected.

Regarding how to repair, Wei Han could only propose, but could not make the decision, but he gave Zhongjing two choices, each with advantages and disadvantages, depending on how to weigh it.

And this multiple-choice question has no pressure at all for Wang Sirui, of course, he chooses to repair all of them within a month and restore these warships to normal as soon as possible. Because there will be several major battles to be fought in the future, the strength of the Imperial Navy is already inferior to Japan and several other powers, and at this time, one more ship will be one more victory.

As for those warships under construction, the fastest ones will not be launched until two months later, and then after half a year of perching, then sea trials, and finally handed over to the army, and the slower ones will be launched after four months, and it is unrealistic to wait for this batch of new ships.

And the result of this naval battle also made Wang Sirui very satisfied, after all, he couldn't make a fat man in one breath, the foundation of the imperial navy was relatively weak, and being able to kill so many Japanese warships in this battle was already an easter egg, and now the top priority is to repair those warships as soon as possible, let them recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and then continue to play with the Japanese.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Wang Sirui will not have any pity for Japan. In any case, the plan to land in Japan in a week is coming to an end, and in this situation, the plan can only be postponed, and it will have to wait until the warship is repaired before it can be put on the agenda again.

On the side of the main fleet, although the situation is good, it is not particularly ideal.

The casualties of the main fleet in this battle were relatively large, the number of people killed directly reached more than 600, more than 1,000 people were wounded, and almost half of them were wounded, and it also took a certain run-in period to replenish new people on the ship, although the training of the navy and the training of armored forces are the same model, but there is always a run-in period, after all, the substitute is only a substitute, and there is still a certain gap with the main force.

In terms of warships, all the warships, except for the frigates, the rest of the main warships were all wounded, and the degree of injury varied, but the worst situation was a cruiser, three of the five 203 main guns were destroyed, and almost half of the secondary guns were reimbursed, and the casualties were relatively large, and the warships were full of bullet holes, but fortunately, they were only some skin injuries, and the main guns could be replaced.

As a result, eight destroyers and frigates were ordered by Wang Sirui to go to Fujian and enter the Fujian shipyard for repair, seven warships, including the four warships that had returned, stayed in the Shanghai shipyard for repair, and the rest of the battleships, cruisers and destroyers all returned to Port Arthur and repaired at the Arthur shipyard.

Although the Lushun Shipyard started a little later, it is the strongest in terms of personnel and equipment, where almost three-quarters of the country's shipbuilding industry talents are gathered, such as Wu Dezhang and Zheng Qinglian, who were as famous as Wei Han in those years, all of them are in the Lushun Shipyard, and the battleships are imitated by them according to the battleships they purchased from the United States, and after passing through this station, it has also proved that the battleships they are responsible for building are reliable.

Although there may be some problems in terms of performance, it is already good for the domestic industrial base to be able to do this, and it will only get better and better in the future.

Although the battle was a complete victory, it was not so satisfactory, and if these warships wanted to fully recover, even if they used all their strength, it would take at least three months to do so, but three months, could they wait? Moreover, Wang Sirui has also received accurate information that Japan is conspiring with the Germans in the hope of joining the Central Powers.

This decision of the Japanese is a little confusing, in history Japan finally joined the Entente, and sent troops to occupy German-occupied Shandong, on the whole, Japan did not contribute much strength in the last World War, but the benefits obtained were not small at all, if it were not so, Japan would not have fought so resolutely in the later World War II.

So what about the Japanese joining the Allies now? Did the Japanese want to attack the Allied territories in Asia in the same way? According to the urine nature of Japanese people, it is indeed possible, but it is not absolute.

Again, with the current strength of Japan, it is simply impossible to support them in long-distance operations, and logistics alone can drag them to death, and the current Japan is not strong, and they have no confidence to defeat any of the great powers (confidence is finished by China).

After this naval battle, the confidence of the Japanese will be completely shattered, since the Japanese do not have the strength to support them to occupy the territory of the Entente, then there are only two possibilities left,

One is that they know that the Chinese Empire is very close to the Germans, and it is not dealing with Britain and France, so there is a great possibility that they will join the Allies, and if Japan can also join the Allies, then the Chinese Empire and Japan will become allies, since they are allies, you have no reason to blockade me again, right? When allies are in trouble, do you help or not? Ask you to ask for steel support, infantry equipment technical support, do you give it or not?

Therefore, if Japan joins the Allies, there will be only benefits and no harm for them. And even if the Chinese don't give them technology, they can get the corresponding technology from Germany, and at that time, Japan used the pretext of attacking British and French territory in Asia, and the Germans would definitely agree to it in order to divert the attention of Britain and France.

Again, the Chinese do not deal with Britain and France, so let them join the Entente, with an ally they do not deal with their own friends, this possibility is not great, if China also joins the Allies, then for the Japanese it will really be shouting long live.

Even if the Japanese are honest, they don't have to ask too much for extravagance, just ask the Chinese to stop blockading Japan, and Japan will be able to recover in just a few years. Maybe in a few years, we will be able to turn defeat into victory again and ride China under the crotch again.

The Japanese have a good abacus, but after the thousand calculations, the Japanese still miscalculated, or it can be said that the Japanese think too highly of themselves.

In the land war in Asia, the Japanese have lost all their advantages, and once the results of this naval battle reach Europe, it will have two effects, one is to once again stimulate the desire of all countries for battleships, and the other is to let countries re-weigh Japan's strength.

Not only can they not have any help effect on themselves, but they have to contain a lot of energy to help them, which is not to give birth to their needs, but to send warmth to the community.

So what is left of the Japanese? Taiwan, the Ryukyus, and several cities in the southern half of Korea, which are the only remaining colonies of the Japanese overseas, once these three places are gone, then what qualifications do the Japanese have to negotiate with others?

The Allies and the Entente had sent people to secretly contact the Chinese Empire on several occasions, hoping that the Chinese Empire would join their war group and deal with each other together, and Britain and France had even offered to give up all the interests of the Allied allies in China and return Hong Kong and Vietnam.

And the Allies also came, but the price was not enough, but this does not matter, because at present, on the battlefield, the Allies have an absolute advantage.

With the support of Chinese technology, German armored forces can be described as sweeping across Europe, and France, after holding out for eight months, announced its withdrawal from the French mainland just last month, and will continue to fight Germany until the end of the Allies.

On land, the Allies had the advantage, while on the sea, the German fleet was defeated by the British and French fleets, no way, the German Navy was their shortcoming, and the two sides each occupied different advantages, but there is no doubt that the strength of the German Army is increasing crazily.

A few years ago, Germany had already seized the French tank factory and successfully moved it back to Germany, taking the German tank industry to the next level, at least for now, Germany is undefeated on land.

On the other side, Russia is still engaged in internal fighting, and it will be difficult to solve it for a while, and the conditions that Germany has given to the Chinese Empire are that they will occupy the British mainland and occupy a quarter of the management of France, and that the British overseas colonies can attack at will, as long as they occupy, then Germany only needs one-third, and which one to give depends on the Chinese's own will.

The obligation was to attack the British fleet and colonies in Asia, and to send an expeditionary force to Europe by land, and Germany would take care of their supply and dispatch the fleet to Europe as soon as possible to fight the British and French navies to the death.

The conditions are tempting, but they are not so difficult to push, in short, it is not yet time to join the group.

"What the Japanese want to do, then it is absolutely not allowed, don't the Entente and the Allies want to win us over? Then give them a chance, prepare, tomorrow morning, formally declare war on Japan, and at the same time appoint Feng Guozhang as commander-in-chief of the Taiwan theater, and the troops will begin to land on Taiwan tomorrow, and the specific time will be decided by himself. Wang Sirui suddenly sneered and ordered. (To be continued.) )
