Chapter 65: The Threat of the Japanese Navy

The telegram received by Kaiser Wilhelm II was sent after Qin Yu, Jiang Fangzhen and others learned that Britain had announced that the Far East Fleet would be transferred to the waters of China, Qin Yu and they believed that even if the Chinese navy could defeat the British Far East Fleet, it would suffer heavy losses, and they were afraid that Japan would invade China after the Sino-British naval battle, so they wanted to use the ports of Bengal to lure Germany to help deal with the Japanese navy, and they could also let Huaxia get more international support to resist the pressure exerted by the British.

On the second day after Qin Yu sent a telegram to the Kaiser, the German ambassador to China, Hanmi, found Qin Yu with a telegram from Germany.

Han Mi said regretfully: "Dear Chairman Qin, Your Majesty has rejected your offer, so I'm sorry. After speaking, he bowed to Qin Yu and apologized.

Qin Yu was very shocked when he heard this, Germany actually refused, they thought that Germany would not give up this huge temptation, but they didn't expect to miscalculate, which shows that in the next few days, Huaxia will fight alone, and the Tibet plan will also die halfway. Originally, he thought that Germany would be tempted to capture Bengal, and if no one supported it, even if it was defeated, it would be spit out, and the countries would not watch Huaxia occupy those places, but the current situation made Qin Yu very disappointed, he had not yet found himself too dependent on Germany.

Just when Qin Yu was disappointed, Hanmi took out another telegram and handed it to him, Hanmi didn't know the content of the telegram, he just did it according to Wilhelm II's arrangement.

Qin Yu, who was disappointed, was also stunned when he saw Hanmi take out the telegram, he thought it was a friendly telegram from Wilhelm II to comfort him, and when he read it, the disappointment in his heart was instantly swept away, because the telegram was written in German:

Dear Chairman of Huaxia, Hello! I am Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern, and I sympathize with the current situation in China, which has been very successful in the previous cooperation between China and the German Empire, so I greatly appreciate the ability of Chairman Qin and believe in the friendship between the two countries.

As for the mention you made earlier, after my consultation with the ministers, I think it is necessary to change it, and we will change the ports of Bengal to allow the merchants of the empire to enter and leave the Bengal region freely, and allow the merchant ships of the empire, including naval warships, to rest freely in Bengal, and Huaxia must give more support, I know that you and Pan Asia Oil are in a cooperative relationship, and I hope you can help us contact Pan Asia. As for the navy that will help China deter Japan, our Qingdao fleet can help you, and we can also support you in terms of weapons, and we will unite with our allies in the empire to support you when the time comes.

Here, I hope to be able to carry out further cooperation with China, not only in China, such as the East Indies and so on. It was signed by Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern of the great German Empire.

Qin Yu was very excited after reading it, he couldn't imagine that the invincible Wilhelm II would talk to him in the same tone, and he didn't expect that he would be able to be equal to the Kaiser so soon.

Qin Yu thought about Wilhelm II's conditions, Pan Asia Oil was his own and it was likely to be known by the Kaiser, after all, it was very possible for German intelligence to be able to detect him, otherwise he would not have asked him for help, and he could contact Pan Asia with Germany's strength, so Qin Yu felt that Germany was blackmailing him. The East Indies have been developed for several years, and it is not surprising that Germany knows it, but the Netherlands has always maintained neutrality, so it will not let Germany enter the East Indies at all, but Germany can enter the East Indies through Guò Qin and Pan-Asia, where the resources are very coveted by Germany.

Now Qin Yu is thinking about what will happen to Germany, let Pan Asia and Germany cooperate, even if it is blackmailed, it is nothing, Qin Yu will let Germany return in the future, as for the East Indies, he is very passive, after all, it is the territory of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands does not know if it will turn its face.

After thinking about it for an hour, Qin Yu decided to agree to Germany, and he said to Hanmi: "Sue William I agree to his conditions, and I hope that His Majesty can do what he said." Hammy didn't know what it was, but he did it.

After Hanmi left, Qin Yu was completely relieved, he finally filled the previous loophole, and now even if the Japanese Navy comes, Qin Yu is not afraid, Japan does not dare to go to war with Germany.

Just after Britain announced that the Far East Fleet would enter China's territorial waters, the Japanese Prime Minister received a telegram from the British Prime Minister, and Britain asked Japan to send its navy to Nanjing to threaten the Chinese government to buy time for the British troops in Tibet, and Britain would give Japan some advanced warship blueprints.

The Japanese prime minister was very excited when he saw it, and the British had been preventing them from sailing their navy into the coastal waters of China, but now he felt that it was a breakthrough, and he was still going to threaten the Chinese government that always sabotaged their plans, and they were very willing.

He immediately informed the Minister of the Navy to send a navy to threaten the Chinese government, but he also ordered that there should be no war with the Chinese navy, and they needed the Chinese navy to weaken the British Far East Fleet, and after the naval war between China and Britain, the Japanese navy would become the first navy in the Far East, and the Far East would be the world of Japan in the future, and it would no longer be subject to British orders.

After receiving the order, the Japanese Navy marched towards the coastal waters of China in high spirits, and the last confrontation with the Huaxia Navy made Japan very unhappy, and they thought that the newly established garbage navy of the Shina people dared to confront the navy of their great Japanese Empire, and it was simply looking for death, and this time they must see the majesty of the imperial navy again.

Qin Yu received the information that the Japanese Navy had set off a day later, so he immediately contacted Hanmi and asked him to let the German fleet in Qingdao and the First Fleet of China intercept the Japanese navy.

The German fleet in Qingdao soon received an order to intercept the Japanese navy with the Chinese navy, the predecessor of the first fleet in China was the first fleet in East China, and the two dreadnought-class warships that had just been equipped with weapons and had only tested for one round urgently joined the first fleet, while the remaining dreadnought-class battleships and two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were transferred to the second fleet in the South China Sea, and the first fleet was transferred back by Qin Yu not long ago, otherwise the Chinese navy would all be concentrated in the South China Sea. The strength of the Second Fleet was already about the same as that of the British Far East Fleet, and what it lacked was only the actual combat experience of naval soldiers.

The First Chinese Fleet and the German Far East Fleet combined in the waters near Rizhao and headed straight for Nanjing, while the Japanese fleet had already reached the waters of the East China Sea and would not be long before they reached the waters near Shanghai.

A few hours later, the Japanese fleet arrived in the waters near Shanghai, and the Japanese navy did not continue to advance to Nanjing, they wanted to show the majesty of the Imperial Japanese Navy to China in Shanghai, and sure enough, the residents of Shanghai were very frightened when they saw the Japanese navy, and they thought that the Japanese were going to attack Shanghai when they saw those huge warships and hideous muzzles facing Shanghai, and the streets were full of people running around, and some market hooligans also took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters, and the whole Shanghai was in chaos.

Seeing the chaos in Shanghai, the Japanese naval soldiers were very happy and shouted on the deck: "Pigs, stupid people......

Half an hour later, the chaos in Shanghai was not over, the situation was out of control, the police could not maintain it at all, the Shanghai Municipal Government urgently contacted the central government in Nanjing, and the Huaxia Government ordered the National Defense Forces stationed on the outskirts of Shanghai to send troops to maintain order. 20,000 national defense troops urgently entered Shanghai, and with the help of the army, Shanghai quickly calmed down, and the hooligans in the market were basically arrested, and the prisons in Shanghai could not hold so many people, and many of them were directly transported to mining.

The Japanese navy was ready to go to Nanjing after seeing that the chaos in Shanghai was over, but as soon as they were about to leave, they saw a naval fleet even more powerful than their fleet in front of them, and at first glance it turned out to be the Chinese navy and the German Qingdao navy. They didn't expect to meet the Chinese fleet again, and this time Germany was still mixed with the Chinese fleet, which made them puzzled. And it seems that the Chinese fleet is stronger than before, especially when they see the two dreadnought battleships, they are all stunned, but they Japan begged Britain for a long time to get Britain to agree to sell two to Japan, and now they are still making them in the British dockyard.

They could no longer advance now, otherwise they would have caused a naval war between China and Japan. As soon as the navies of China and Germany arrived, they immediately demanded that Japan withdraw from China's territorial waters, otherwise it would be a provocation against China, and China would have the right to open fire.

Seeing that the navy of Huaxia actually ordered them, the Japanese navy soldiers were very angry, and the navy of the Great Japanese Empire was not something that could be provoked by a small branch, and they demanded an artillery bombardment of the navy of Huaxia. But then they saw the German fleet waving the flag that Germany was conducting naval military exercises with China, and demanded that Japan withdraw from China's territorial waters, otherwise it would be regarded as a provocation to the German Reich.

When the head of the Japanese fleet saw this, he immediately telegraphed home, and soon the telegram from the Japanese prime minister arrived, and the prime minister ordered them to retreat immediately, or they would all be court-martialed, so they had no choice but to begin to return to Japan.

The Japanese prime minister is also very helpless, he does not understand why Germany always supports China, and even does not hesitate to turn the other cheek with Japan, he believes that the current Japan can not confront Germany, and if they confront it, they will have to join the British camp in advance, which is not in line with their intention of Japan to welcome the left and right, and they Japan will also obtain more benefits between the two sides. Moreover, once Japan fights with Germany, Britain will definitely not help them, and Germany's allies will also blockade them or directly participate in them, so Japan cannot afford to gamble.

The citizens of Shanghai were very shocked when they saw the Huaxia navy, and they could not imagine that the Huaxia would have such advanced warships and scare away the Japanese navy, which made them very proud of themselves. Soon the newspapers in Shanghai were overwhelmingly publicizing the strength of the Chinese Navy, and the pictures of those huge warships had to be believed, and then slowly spread to the whole country, and the people were very excited, since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy has declined, and that war has always been a pain in the hearts of the Chinese people, and now the rise of the Chinese Navy has made them see hope.

The First Fleet of the Chinese Navy followed the Japanese fleet until the Japanese fleet withdrew from the territorial waters of China and returned to the German fleet.
