The Yangtze River patrol finally arrived in Wuhan after sailing for seven or eight hours, and as soon as they arrived in Wuhan, they were bombarded by the revolutionary army with those old cannons, but unfortunately the range of those cannons was too short, and they fell into the water before they could reach the patrol, and the cannons of the Yangtze River patrol had already been replaced, and the range was not ordinarily far.

In order to speed up the artillery, the shells of the Yangtze River Patrol kept falling on the positions of the revolutionary army, and after a while, these positions were razed to the ground, but the Yangtze River Patrol sadly found that their shells were about to run out, and they were not enough to support the next plan, so they immediately telegraphed to the headquarters to inform them of the situation here, Jiang Fangzhen saw that the purpose of the attack was basically completed, and ordered them to retreat, but he still scolded the Yangtze River Patrol for wasting shells, and after coming back, they had to train their accuracy well, Otherwise, they will all be defeated in East China.

The Second Fleet finally arrived in Guangzhou, but they were also a little scared when they saw the soldiers gathered on the shore and the dense shore artillery, but the order was the order, and they soon began to shell Guangzhou, and their accuracy was not very high, so some of the shells were also missed a lot, but it seemed that some of the shells were lucky, and some of the shells that were randomly fought fell into the camp of the Guangzhou army, and the Guangzhou army also launched a counterattack, but it was very helpless that the shells could not hit the second fleet at all, This shocked Hu Hanmin and Deputy Governor Chen Jiongming, who were watching with a telescope from a distance, the navy in East China is too strong, if you don't bring such a trick, what will happen to Guangdong in the future, Guangdong is a coastal province.

Under the bombardment of the Second Fleet, the army of Guangdong soon began to retreat, and the retreat ran faster than anyone else, and the Second Fleet then only symbolically shelled the suburbs outside the city of Guangzhou a few times, because the order did not allow them to shell the city of Guangzhou, for fear of accidentally injuring the common people, in fact, Jiang Fangzhen just couldn't bear to destroy such a prosperous city, and if it was destroyed, maybe East China would have to spend a lot of effort to rebuild it in the future.

The Second Fleet began to return to East China, and along the way, it also occasionally used the military construction along the coast to practice accuracy, and the First Fleet in the North did not intercept the Chinese merchant ships flying foreign flags heading north, because this would cause international disputes if they were not careful. The First Fleet quickly returned to Qingdao in a relaxed situation of practicing and doing tasks at the same time, and they didn't want the German Navy to follow, but the German Navy still followed them all the way south, which made the First Fleet very embarrassed.

Qin Yu's awakening was soon inquired about by the ambassadors of various countries, so those ambassadors began to come to visit Qin Yu one after another, and Germany's Hanmi was the first foreign ambassador to know that Qin Yu had awakened, so he came to Qin Yu's ward to visit Qin Yu the day after Qin Yu woke up.

Hanmi saw Qin Yu and asked, "My dearest friend, are you better?" ”

Qin Yu: "It's much better, Hanmi, can you thank William for me, thank him for his support to me, I want to make some deals with Germany in return, what do you think?" ”

When Hans heard this, he said happily: "Can this Chairman Qin explain it in detail, and then I will report back to China." ”

"I want to have some secret cooperation with your country, such as researching advanced weapons or whatever, now our planes in East China can already fight, and some other things, which will definitely be worth you to have, wait a minute, I will ask someone to take you to see some of our latest research results, I believe you will be surprised."

"I'm going to see this before I can get back to you, what do you want?"

"I want to cooperate with you in all aspects, including civilian, I hope you can also give me some other help such as weapons or something, after all, there are too many things embargoed by the West on my country, I hope to buy some advanced machines and equipment, we need these too much, and I hope that your country will give us international support during this time."

Hanmi: "We'll consider what you're talking about, of course, because of course you're talking about things that will make the people of the Empire excited." ”

"I'm sure your country will be tempted, if you are sure to come and talk to me after the meeting." Qin Yu thought in his heart, it would be strange if you weren't moved after reading it.

"I can help you with weapons, in fact, as long as you tell the Krupp Arsenal, I am sure they will be very willing to help you, you don't have to mind anything, really, we Germans are the most rigorous, we will care about this."

Qin Yu knew what Han Mi was talking about, and the reason why he didn't ask his father-in-law for any help was that he didn't want to be thought that he was standing up by relying on this relationship, and his temper was still very strong.

But now he also found himself in a very wrong dead end, he could have asked someone from the East China government to negotiate business with his father-in-law in the name of the East China government.

After figuring it out, Qin Yu asked the soldiers outside to take Hans to see some of the first-generation planes and tanks, but some hidden things still couldn't be seen by Hanmi.

After Hanmi left, the American Weili also came, and Weili came to let Qin Yu open up the East China market, and some of their American consortia were eyeing the developing East China, and they felt that they could break the circle of China in East China and bypass Britain and France to get more Chinese markets.

As soon as Wei Li came, he said to Qin Yu: "Hello Chairman Qin, I am Wei Li, the diplomatic envoy of the United States of America to China, and I am here to visit you on behalf of our United States, are you better now?" ”

"Hello Mr. Willy, thank you very much for coming to visit the contemptible people, I wonder if there is anything else to do with your husband?"

Wei Li sorted out his clothes and said solemnly: "We in the United States hope that Chairman Qin can open up the East China market and let our American businessmen enter East China to sell goods, and it would be better if we could give some preferential policies." ”

Qin Yu pretended to think for a while and said: "It's not impossible to give the United States access to our East China, but I'm afraid that this will impact the interests of our East China businessmen, and it's not impossible if the United States can give some support to East China." ”

"Chairman Qin, as for yours, we are sure that it will not impact your business too much, which can also strengthen the sense of competition of your East China businessmen, you simply don't have enough opportunities to support large-scale construction when you build East China, and our entry can solve this problem very well, as well as weapons, steel and so on, now you need it very much, and we in the United States have the strongest industrial manufacturing capacity in the world, so some advanced things are not a problem as long as you have money."

"That being said, I'm afraid that the taxes I set are too high for you Americans to come, and I think Germany and Britain will also like our East China market."

Wesley: "The British and Germans have too many restrictions, and they are destined not to give you much help, you must know that the situation in Europe is not very good, as for us in the United States, there are not too many restrictions, as long as Congress and those consortia agree to anything, you can do anything, you have to believe in the strength of our United States." ”

Qin Yu: "Mr. Wei Li I think the United States sent you to China is the most correct, you are too good at talking, as for the cooperation with the United States, I still have to think again, after all, there are too many things involved, and you also know that we are under siege now, so let's talk about it later." ”

Wei Li saw Qin Yu's tired face and knew that Qin Yu didn't want to talk about this now, so he simply said goodbye and left.

The Dutch ambassador also came the next day, their current foreign trade in the Netherlands basically depends on Qin Yu, and those businessmen in the Netherlands also want to be able to participate more in the development of the East Indies, so he must come to visit Qin Yu to test his meaning.

It wasn't strange for Qin Yu to see the Dutch people coming, because Qin Yu knew that they needed themselves. As soon as the Dutch ambassador came, he asked Qin Yu how the situation was, whether it was better, Qin Yu also answered one by one, and the Dutch ambassador quickly got to the point and asked Qin Yu: "Dear Chairman Qin, is your Chinese power in the East Indies too great and has affected our Dutch rule there, and the domestic businessmen hope that you can let them participate in the development of the East Indies, I don't know how?" He deliberately threatened Qin Yu on the grounds that the Chinese were too powerful.

Qin Yu: "It is impossible for the Chinese forces in the East Indies to influence the rule of your country, is it the queen who asks to participate in the development?" ”

Ambassador of the Netherlands: "It's not Her Majesty's request, it's just the request of our businessmen, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince and those businessmen who participated in it have earned so much in recent years, so they also ask to participate." ”

After Qin Yu knew what he meant, he said: "It turned out to be the request of the businessmen of your country, I can give them the opportunity to participate, I will talk to Pan Asia Oil and others in a few days to see how much benefit can be made, and then we will hold an auction of shares, just ask the businessmen of your country to prepare the money, and in order to better protect these businessmen, I will strengthen the strength of the security team." "Qin Yu is not very disgusted with the Dutch Chen taking advantage of the fire, after all, the reality is so cruel, and it is in line with his plan, now make more money in the Netherlands, and when he takes the East Indies into his pocket, everything is Qin Yu's.

The Dutch ambassador was also very happy to hear that Qin Yu agreed, he finally completed the task given by the country, it seems that his bonus will definitely be doubled this time, he asked Qin Yu something more and left.

Two days later, Hanmi took the Governor of Qingdao to Qin Yu's ward, it turned out that Hanmi was shocked to send a telegram to China after seeing those planes and tanks, and after a series of German experts determined the feasibility of these things, William directly ordered the Governor of Qingdao to negotiate with Qin Yu in person.

After a series of negotiations, Qin Yu signed a secret agreement with Germany:

First, Germany and East China conduct research on military weapons and share research results;

Second, Germany will help East China to carry out large-scale technical personnel training, including medical skills, etc.;

Third, Germany will give a large amount of low-interest loans to East China to develop East China;

Fourth, East China will provide sufficient raw materials to Germany, as well as some advanced weapons, etc., a total of eight items.

Qin Yu and Germany are very happy, and everyone has solved a series of problems.
