At the beginning of April 1912, Qin Yu's warships and submarines made a long detour to avoid encounters with the navies of the great powers along the way, and even the supplies on the road were hurriedly finished and left, and after several months of sailing, they finally arrived at the designated place, the Zhoushan Islands, where there was a naval base that Qin Yu had secretly built in the past few months.

Qin Yu and Sa Bingzhen finally saw their long-awaited battleship at the naval base in Zhoushan, especially Sa Bingzhen burst into tears with excitement, and the surrounding navy hugged and cheered there.

Only five Sovereign-class battleships, three Invincible-class battlecruisers, and fifteen U-2 submarines returned to the Zhoushan base this time, and none of the battleships were equipped with weapons, and now the total tonnage of the Qin Yu Navy has exceeded 100,000 tons, excluding submarines.

The next thing is to install weapons, Qin Yu called the senior workers of the shipyard to install weapons, and he was talking to Sa Bingzhen about the naming of these warships and submarines, and finally they decided to use the names of rivers to name the battleships, respectively called the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Liaohe, the Pearl River, and the Heilongjiang, and the battle cruisers were named Anqing, Xinyang, and Rizhao, and the fifteen submarines were Jiaolong No. 1, Jiaolong No. 2, and Jiaolong No. 15.

Qin Yu's actions were inadvertently discovered by the spies arranged by Japan in East China, who followed Qin Yu to the vicinity of Zhoushan Island, saw these warships, and took pictures with his camera, after which the spy immediately sent the news back to Japan.

Two days later, Japan's Prime Minister Saionji received a piece of information about the East China Government of China, at first he didn't believe it, how could there be such a warship in Shina, and finally his mouth opened wide in shock when he saw those photos, and after a while he shouted: "Yaga, who gave these warships to East China, why does the intelligence department only know now, all of them are dead and dead." "Saying that, an urgent meeting was called, and the Minister of War and the Secretary of the Navy and the head of the intelligence department were called.

The newly appointed Minister of War Yusaku Uehara soon came, but the Minister of the Navy, Sato Miya, came slowly, and Saionji looked at the two of them and said, "Look, there is such a warship in China, what do you think?" ”

The two of them were also shocked after taking the information, and Yusaku Uehara said: "Yaga, what's going on, what is your military intelligence bureau doing?" ”

Sato Mi looked shocked: "How is it possible, isn't there only a few fishing boats in China, when will there be these warships?" ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang: "At first, I thought it was impossible, but those photos can't be faked, so now we have to find out the origin of these warships and their impact on our country's plans." ”

Yusaku Uehara: "This is a matter of the navy, not under my control." "The dispute between the Japanese navy and the army is very strict, and the army has always been unconvinced and pressed by the navy.

Sato Mi: "There are basically no naval personnel in Shinadi, even if it poses a threat to us, it will be a few years before there is a little threat, our navy of the Great Japanese Empire is the strongest, and the garbage in China is working, but how can those warships come to drip, and are there any?" If there is, it will pose a threat to our Japanese Empire, or shall we quickly and quickly take down those warships? ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang: "Now Di can't do anything to China, our Manchu Qing plan to move north has failed, according to intelligence, it is a ghost in East China, and now warships are also appearing in East China, and Qin Yu also personally went to meet those warships, he Di is a big enemy of the empire, and he must be dealt with." ”

Yusaku Uehara: "I said that it is better for my army to land in East China and kill him." ”

Sato Mi: "If Germany helped build it in East China, if it was made by Britain, it would be impossible, and we can't know it, so it is most likely that Germany did it." ”

Saionji Gongwang: "No matter what, the intelligence personnel must give me Qin Yu in Shina to investigate clearly, and the navy that monitors Shina, if there is any loss, how can we explain to the emperor, and now go and inform the emperor and let him allocate military funds for the navy to build warships." ”

Saionji Gongwang took the Minister of the Navy to find the emperor, leaving only Uehara Yusaku alone, Uehara Yusaku was very angry, why did he always give military funds to the navy and not to the army.

Emperor Meiji was startled when he saw that these warships were very strong, but soon he asked suspiciously: "Where did you get the warships from?" ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said in a cold sweat: "Now the intelligence personnel are still investigating, although the people of China have warships, but there are not enough naval personnel, so the navy of China has not posed a threat to the navy of the empire. ”

Emperor Meiji: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future, you must investigate these things clearly, and you must not let the people of China have more naval warships, so wait a minute, you go and talk to the British, and let the British put pressure on the Shina." ”

"That Qin Yu of Zhina is really hateful, he is always against us, do you want someone to do him?"

"Don't do it for the time being, his death will speed up the unification of China, so let them continue to fight."

"Okay, Your Majesty, now that China has its own navy, I implore Your Majesty to increase military spending on the navy to build powerful warships."

Emperor Meiji: "I'll increase the military spending, it looks like I'm going to have to eat two meals a day again, go down, I'm tired." ”

Immediately after he retired, he approached the British ambassador to Japan and asked him to report the matter back to China.

British Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith was also shocked when he received this, China actually has such warships, which will pose a huge threat to the Far East Fleet of the Reich, and he wonders who sold these warships to China, is it Germany, it is very likely that the Germans got it. He called on the intelligence services to find out the origin of the warships, and soon the intelligence officers told him that the warships were built from his own country and that they were German shipyards, much to his anger. But seeing that the owner of the shipyard is the sister of the current head of the Krupp family, he didn't dare to do anything, a careless one would cause a war between the two countries, and he also knew that Qin Yu had already started building it and Qin Yu was still a Krupp person, so he understood this qiē.

But what really scared Herbert Henry Asquith was that Germany had already obtained the number of these warships, believing that Germany would soon build better warships than that, so he asked the intelligence officers in Germany if Germany had already started building new warships.

Herbert Henry Asquith also decided to win over Qin Yu and pull Qin Yu into the British camp, after all, Britain's interests in China are still very important, and Qin Yu cannot be completely thrown into Germany, so he decided to turn a blind eye to Qin Yu's navy, and now Qin Yu has not really threatened Britain. As for Japan's inquiry, he ignored it, could it be that those warships came from Britain, and he didn't even know anything about it, isn't it a shame, so he can only tell Japan that the East China Navy can't pose a threat to deal with it.

When Japan received such an answer from Britain, it felt that Britain was still as arrogant as before, and that Japan had to find its own way. And Qin Yu also avoided a small trouble, and also accelerated the development of Qin Yu's navy, so that Britain and Japan suffered a lot in the future.

Qin Yu was ushering in an unexpected guest at this time, a person who would change the situation of the three-legged tripod, which shocked Qin Yu very much.
