"Songpo, I didn't expect you to still remember the frontier territory, but please rest assured, since Yunnan has fallen into my hands, I am sure that I will not lose an inch of land!"

Cai Ye saw that Qiao Yu was full of confidence, and he was also relieved a lot, maybe it was also a good thing to let Qiao Yu go southwest together, Qiao Yu did not pursue Cai Yi's crimes, his current condition is too serious, and he can no longer go to Yucheng, so he had to be sent to Yucheng for treatment, as for outsiders saying that Qiao Yu is under house arrest Cai Ye and the like, they can't take care of it.

Now in front of Qiao Yu, there is a huge mess, most of the soldiers of the Yunnan army surrendered, but there are also some ruffians who took advantage of this opportunity to disperse to various places and became bandits, without the deterrence of the Yunnan army, many Tusi are ready to move, like reading power, and there are refugees everywhere, these things are intertwined and have to be solved.

Considering that the officials in Sichuan were not familiar with the situation in Yunnan, Qiao Yu could only use the officials in Yunnan, and immediately appointed Ren Kecheng as the envoy of Jingbian, responsible for stabilizing many Tusi forces, Li Mo as the governor and responsible for restoring the work of the province, Gu Pinzhen as the deputy commander-in-chief of the anti-bandit army, assisting Han Yong in sweeping up the bandits everywhere, and Luo Peijin, who was captured earlier, became the minister of public security in Yunnan.

These people are all capable officials, the order of Yunnan was quickly restored, in Qiao Yu's heart, there is just no way to continue to use the officials of Yunnan, the southwest has been unified, it is necessary to carry out large-scale official adjustment, break the barrier between the three provinces, and establish a local government, when he was thinking about how to build a new administrative system, there was amazing news from the European side, it turned out that Britain and Germany had launched a decisive battle in the sea area of Germany, and the news that both sides had suffered heavy losses.

Qiao Yu saw a series of names on the telegram, and was immediately stunned, Frederick the Great, Caesar, Prince Wilhelm, Natsu, Rhine, Germany lost a total of five elite dreadnoughts, and Britain was even more miserable, losing eight dreadnoughts, namely the Iron Duke, the Courage, the Conqueror, the Thunderbolt, George V, the Coolgent, the Giant, the Herculd, the Herculd, the Hercules, the most powerful weapons of war in this era were all sunk in the blue sea, and what was even worse was that the flagships of both sides were all sunk, This shows the severity of the battle, and the losses of the rest of the ships are even more staggering, with the total number of sunken warships on both sides exceeding 60, and the number of wounded warships is even more astonishing.

When the two scarred fleets returned to the port, all those who witnessed the situation could not stop exclaiming, the majesty of the British Empire at sea had finally been challenged, the broken bodies of the giant beasts on the sea were telling the cruelty of the war, the sailors who were in the prime of life in the past were all dejected, without any spirit, the roar of the cannon had broken the eardrums of many people, and now they seemed to have lost their souls, and their withered bodies still existed in the world, allowing everyone to witness their decadence.

Britain was like this, and Germany was the same, although they seemed to have lost fewer ships, but they still failed to break Britain's maritime superiority, and the poor supply situation made those damaged warships no longer repairable, and the high seas fleet was also abolished after the First World War, and the morale of the navy also plummeted.

The losses of the combatants on both sides were even more severe, the British killed and wounded more than 20,000 sailors, and the German losses also exceeded 12,000 people, more than 30 percent of the total number of participants, these people are the essence of the two navies, it can be said that after the First World War, the navies of the two countries have reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and even the point of great vitality injury, this life-and-death collision has also made the world tremble, and the cannon giant ship has become the best weapon to determine the fate of the country, and the United States and other countries that have reaped the benefits of the war have begun to desperately build battleships. It can be said that this naval battle will affect the world trend in the coming decades.

Before the war, Britain and Germany had the world's first and second naval fleets, the traditional maritime power Britain occupied a considerable advantage, and the British relied on this advantage to firmly block the German high seas fleet inside the port, doing nothing, the Germans were helpless in the face of the British Grand Fleet like a vicious dog, and did not dare to rashly challenge the British maritime supremacy, but with the stalemate of the land war, the blockaded Germans had to try to break through the blockade of the British Navy.

At this time, the high theory from the East also reached the ears of the Germans, Germany was still Germany without the High Seas Fleet, and Britain was nothing without a huge fleet! How correct this is to say, although Qiao Yu's next criticism of Germany made the ambitious Kaiser Wilhelm II feel very harsh, but the predicamented Germany also had to begin to examine Qiao Yu's judgment, after careful argumentation, the Germans also had to admit that Qiao Yu's judgment was reasonable, even if the German navy was completely wiped out, as long as it could fight more than half of the British navy, it would be able to shake the British world hegemony, and then affect Britain's courage to continue the war, In this way, the Entente was in danger of rupture, and thus Germany was able to get out of its present predicament.

The Germans finally decided to take a desperate gamble and fight to the death with the British navy, and the British relied on the German naval codebook obtained from the Russians to decipher the German telegram, and knew the Germans' plans in advance, and the British soon found that this was the best time to destroy the damned German navy, and immediately formulated a tit-for-tat plan, ready to fight the Germans to the death.

This naval battle was fought a month earlier than in history, and the Chinese trainee officers were fortunate enough to participate in this life-and-death battle at sea, witnessing this life-and-death battle, and these young officers later became the backbone of the Chinese navy, and twenty years later they led their own naval fleet to defend the sea frontier for the country.

Chen Shaokuan came to serve on the Campania, the largest seaplane carrier in the United Kingdom, under Qiao Yu's special arrangement, and Chen Shaokuan didn't look down on this warship converted from an old cruise ship at all, but Qiao Yu's arrangement must have a deep meaning, so Chen Shaokuan did not dare to slack off, and paid great attention to the battle in which the naval aviation participated.

It was with the reconnaissance of the aircraft that the British Navy successfully sank the light cruiser Königsberg, and the British also thought that the effective reconnaissance of the aircraft played a decisive role in the aftermath, and Chen Shaokuan finally saw a little merit of the aircraft carrier.

You must know that there are no satellites in naval warfare in this era, there is no radar, and you can only rely on a pair of eyes to find opponents in the vast sea, and the original mission of this type of cruiser is to find the enemy fleet, and then guide the main force of your own side to attack, but after all, the scope of the search is also limited, sometimes the two fleets pass by without knowing it, if there is an extra pair of eyes in the sky, then you can see farther and more clearly.

There is no doubt that in this way, he will be able to firmly seize the opportunity and usher in an important opportunity for the decisive battle of the main force, and since then, Chen Shaokuan has worked harder to study naval aviation, and his studious and clever have won the respect of everyone on the warship.

On April 30, the commander of the British Home Fleet, Jericho, received information that the Germans would start an operation tomorrow, and Jericho hurriedly ordered the Home Fleet to prepare for battle, and Betty led a detachment of battle cruisers to prepare for war.

After receiving Jericho's order, Betty led the advance fleet and set off towards the vast sea, and the ambitious Betty did not know that this was his death journey, and he was destined to sink the body of a war criminal who had participated in the war of aggression against China to the bottom of the sea and be devoured by fish and shrimp.

Jericho led the home fleet and then set off, and the main force of the Royal Navy was dispatched, but Jericho forgot to inform the Campania, at this time, the deck of the Campania had been refitted, and the aircraft carrier had a total of twelve carrier-based aircraft, and was also equipped with the original catapult, which could take off carrier-based aircraft directly, so it can be said that this aircraft carrier has the ability to participate in the war.

At this time, Jericho forgot the Campania in the harbor, Chen Shaokuan was serving on the aircraft carrier, he was able to get some additional supplies from China, so he had a lot more money than other British [***] officers, relying on some cigarettes and alcohol, Chen Shaokuan and many British officers became friends, and also knew that they were about to go to war, but his own warship did not get any notice.

Chen Shaokuan immediately found Captain Oliver: "Mr. Captain, our fleet has gone to sea to fight, but we have not been notified in any way, don't you think this is the most ridiculous thing!" ”

Oliver is also a high-minded person, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately became angry, "These damn bureaucrats have horse manure in their heads, don't you know our value, we have planes, we can soar into the air and look down on the ocean, we are the force that changes naval warfare!" ”

"Mr. Captain, that's right, we don't actually need to throw out a main force to lure the enemy fleet to lure the Germans, as long as we have us, we can preemptively discover the German fleet and occupy an advantageous position, but the commander has forgotten us, he doesn't have aircraft carriers in his heart at all!"

"This is absolutely not good, we must participate in this sea battle that is destined to go down in history, Chen, what do you think?"

"Mr. Captain, this is the most correct choice, we will definitely make a name for ourselves in the world, and let those who dare to underestimate us admit their mistakes in front of us!"

Less than half an hour after the departure of the home fleet, the Campania set sail at full speed and sailed out of the Scapa Bay anchorage, and at the same time Oliver sent a telegram to Jericho, asking to join the war, at this time Jericho realized that he had forgotten such an aircraft carrier, but since he had caught up, let him join the war!

The Campania, which was originally forgotten by Jericho, participated in the Battle of Yudelan in this way, and together with Chen Shaokuan, a total of ten Chinese trainee officers were fortunate to participate in this naval battle, which made the world feel the great value of aircraft carriers for the first time!
