On November 10, 1911, the last navy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the leadership of Sa Bingzhen, changed banners in Nanjing, and announced that it would join the East China Government and wait for the dispatch of the East China Government.

This telegram made Yuan Shikai almost vomit blood again, Yuan Shikai never thought that Sa Bingzhen would rebel, he himself wondered if Qin Yu used something to tempt Sa Bingzhen, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in mourning, the original intention was to want Sa Bingzhen to suppress the East China government, but the result was to lose his wife and soldiers, and now that Manchu has cleared Yuan Shikai, there is really no one else, and it is better to count on those Eight Banners soldiers to die directly.

Wuhan originally wanted to recruit Sa Bingzhen, who knew that he just wanted to go to the house and left, but as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he was accepted by Qin Yubingbing, and now they want to die, in their opinion, since Sa Bingzhen will take refuge in Qin Yu, then he will definitely take refuge in himself If they hurry up, but now the person they hate the most even has the navy, which is a very bad situation.

The whole country was shocked again, why did these people turn to Qin Yu again and again instead of the Wuhan government that claimed to represent the people of the whole country, Qin Yu is now stronger than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can they be shocked, the navy has not fallen into Qin Yu, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not sent troops to deal with Qin Yu.

Sa Bingzhen led the armored cruisers Haichou, Hairong, and Haichen and the protective cruisers Haitian and Haiqi to join the East China government, although these warships are a bit backward, but they are also the most advanced warships in China now.

The 3 armored cruisers of Haichou, Hairong and Haichen are ships of the same class, with a length of 328 feet, a width of 40 feet and 8 inches, a draft of 19 feet, a displacement of 2,590 tons, a coal load of 580 tons, and a fresh water load of 270 tons, and the power of the warship is 4 coal-fired boilers, 2 3-cylinder reciprocating steam engines, with 1,500 horsepower imaginary numbers, 7,500 real horses, 10 standard speeds, 19.5 knots of maximum speed, and 274 personnel; Main weapons: 3 150mm 40x diameter Krupp rapid-fire guns (2 on the left and right sides of the bow and 1 in the stern), 8 105mm 40x diameter Krupp rapid-fire guns (distributed on both sides), 6 37mm Haggkai machine guns, 6 8mm Maxim machine guns, 1 60mm Krupp camp gun, 3 torpedo tubes (one under the bow waterline and one on the left and right side decks).

Qin Yu has only built the British decommissioned Monarch battleship in the past few years in China, due to technical limitations and the Monarch has fallen behind, only three have been built, and after Sa Bingzhen saw these battleships, his eyes lit up like seeing a beautiful woman, and Sa Bingzhen also believed what Qin Yu said, so he took the navy and joined Qin Yu's East China government.

The cruisers brought by Sa Bingzhen were no longer suitable for this era, so Qin Yu was ready to wait for his warships to come back and use these backward warships to patrol the Yangtze River, and those who came back would be used as the main force of the navy. Now Sa Bingzhen began to prepare to take the three ships named by Qin Yu as Hope, Prospect, and Hope to familiarize himself with this type of warship, and Qin Yu rushed the naval students who were studying at the First Military Academy of China to Sa Bingzhen for him to train and train, and Qin Yu also appointed Sa Bingzhen as the commander-in-chief of the East China Navy and the head of the Naval Department of the Military Academy.

In order to speed up the progress of the navy, Qin Yu specially integrated the shipyards of the four provinces after independence, his shipbuilding speed became faster, and research and development became easier, Qin Yu also urged the shipyard to build the next three invincible-class cruisers and three German Goeben battleships as soon as possible. The Goburn drawings were exchanged by Qin Yu for a later French "Snader" assault tank built in September 1916, which also made Qin Yu very heartbroken, but Qin Yu himself is now manufacturing the later French "Renault" FT-1 light tank and 2C heavy tank, Qin Yu also wanted to directly build the German and Soviet tanks in World War II, but the technology and materials were not available at all, so he had to study it slowly.

As for the fifteen U2 submarines built by Qin Yu in Germany, they were also on their way back, and as soon as the Wuhan Revolution broke out, Qin Yu called them back, including moving those who studied in the German shipyard and his shipyard back to China, and as for those German employees, he was also tied back with high salaries.

After two years of research and development, the Camel F.1 single-seat biplane fighter was finally produced in Qin Yu's arsenal, which was named the F-1 fighter by Qin Yu:

The aircraft is 5.72 meters long and 2.59 meters high, with a wingspan of 8.53 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 659KG, 130 horsepower, a maximum speed of 185 km / h (at 1980 meters), a practical ceiling of 5790, a climb of 1980 meters in 6 minutes, a flight time of 2.5 hours, and an armament of 2 7.7 machine guns.

It also produced a Gotha bomber, which was named the H-1 bomber by Qin Yu:

The wingspan is 23.7 meters, the length is 12.2 meters, the height is 4.3 meters, the weight is 3975 kilograms, and the engine power is 2×260 horsepower. The maximum speed is 140 km / h, the ceiling is 6500 meters, and the range is 835 km; The armament is 2~3 machine guns and 500 kg of bombs.

Now Qin Yu has produced five F-1 fighters and two H-1 bombers, and the arsenal can now produce fifty F-1s and ten H-1s a month, Qin Yu put those soldiers who had learned to drive airships in Germany and let them drive them, but one of them was almost destroyed and killed, fortunately in the end they all could fly, but they were still very unskilled, but Qin Yu still let them be proficient first and then began to take people to practice, and finally Qin Yu appointed a soldier with excellent flying skills Li Dong as the captain of the first brigade of the Air Force on the same dayAt this point, the Air Force was officially established.
