The British were very satisfied with the huge deal of 6.6 million pounds sterling for warships reached with the Japanese, who already had 10 all-steel battleships in service in two classes, eight in the Sovereign class and two in the Pavreux class.

There are also 2 classes under construction, 1 in the Prestige class and 9 in the Majesty class.

Now that the British Navy had suddenly received a huge sum of money, the British Admiralty had raised a sum of money elsewhere and immediately placed an additional order for 10 Majestic-class all-steel battleships to British shipyards to replace the old warships sold to Japan. By the end of 1896, the British Navy would have 30 new all-steel battleships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and continue to be proud of the navies of countries around the world.

The British suddenly increased the construction of 10 new all-steel battleships, allowing the French, Russian, German, American and Italian navies, which targeted the British Navy, to increase the number of new all-steel battleships they built, and a naval arms race that suffocated all countries quietly began!

After spending a huge amount of money to purchase warships of the British Navy, Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi purchased a batch of large-caliber artillery for the army from Britain through the British Minister to Japan.

Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito knew in his heart that this huge amount of money was the last money that could be used by the British bank to Japan! Now that Japan has mortgaged everything it can mortgage to the British, if the war with the Qing Dynasty cannot be won and the Qing Dynasty does not receive reparations, Japan's finances will collapse immediately, and the entire economic lifeline of Japan will be controlled by the British!

Now that Japan has been cornered, it must win this war, otherwise what awaits Japan is an abyss!

Lin Daxin has been waiting for news from Lushun in the Weihai Weishui Academy, and when Lushun sends the battle report back to the Weihai Weishui Academy on the radio, then Lin Daxin is relieved.

The 3rd Division defending Jinzhou broke the head and suffered heavy casualties to the Japanese troops attacking Jinzhou, so that the Japanese troops had to retreat to Pulandian to recuperate. Now that heavy snow has fallen in the entire Liaodong, the Japanese attack has stopped!

Lin Daxin is still very worried about the Sailor Academy Army, which has not gone through actual combat, the elite Huai Army of the Qing Army has suffered a big loss in front of the Japanese army, and Lin Daxin does not know whether the Sailor Academy Reorganization Division under his command that has not experienced actual combat can resist the Japanese army with superior strength.

Fortunately, the integrated division, which was almost armed to the teeth, did not disgrace Lin Daxin, and resisted 4 Japanese army divisions with 1 integrated division, which not only defended Jinzhou impregnably, but also eliminated a large number of Japanese troops, so that the Japanese Southern Route Army, which suffered heavy casualties, had to retreat to Pulandian.

Lin Daxin considered that now that Japan has entered the Japanese army in Korea and Liaodong, it has reached 8 divisions, and new army divisions are still being established in Japan, I don't know how many divisions and regiments Japan can send to join the war in the end, and only 5 integrated divisions are really not enough, as for the huge number of Qing troops, Lin Daxin directly chose to ignore it.

Lin Daxin decided to conduct a large-scale enrollment of the Sailor Academy again, and now it is during the war, Lin Daxin recruits people in the name of resisting the Japanese, even if more people are recruited, the court of the Qing Dynasty will not have time to trouble Lin Daxin now. The imperial court now still has to rely on the fleet of Lin Daxin's Sailor School and the army of the Sailor Academy to resist the Japanese army, and will only turn a blind eye to Lin Daxin.

Lin Daxin called Zhao Hu, the commander of the second division, and Zhang Quan, the commander of the fifth division, to the office in the water division school, and Zhang Quan, the commander of the fifth division, was also a student of the first phase of the teaching team.

The two walked into Lin Daxin's office, "popped-" and shouted to Lin Daxin, who was sitting behind a desk: "Hello principal!" ”

Lin Daxin pointed to the two chairs opposite the desk and said, "You guys are here!" Sit down! ”

After the two sat on the chairs, Lin Daxin said: "I came to you today for the sake of our Sailor Academy to continue to recruit students!" ”

Zhao Hu and Zhang Quan glanced at each other excitedly, the Sailor Academy has now become a new group in the Beiyang system, Zhao Hu and Zhang Quan are the upper echelons of this group, this group has developed strongly, and they will also rise.

Lin Daxin continued: "Now Japan has invested 8 divisions of land forces in Korea and Liaodong, and the offensive has been stopped because of the heavy snow!" Japan is still continuing to form new army divisions, and when the Japanese army attacks again, I wonder how many divisions and regiments the Japanese army can add? We now have more than 5 integrated divisions to defend, but the offense is insufficient, I am ready to re-expand some new integrated divisions, and the two of you divisions will immediately send people to various parts of Shandong and nearby provinces to recruit students from our Sailor Academy! The criteria for student enrollment are the same as before! ”

Zhao Hu and Zhang Quan nodded at the same time, indicating that they would immediately send people to recruit new students in various places.

Now that the snow is falling heavily in Liaodong, the Japanese army is stationed in Benxi and Pulandian, and if there is no accident, the Japanese army will not attack again in winter, so that the new trainees recruited can have several months of training.

Lin Daxin deliberately explained to the two of them, as long as they meet the standards, they will recruit as many as they want, and he Lin Daxin will not be suspicious of many people when he comes back.

After Zhao Hu and Zhang Quan left, Lin Daxin once again traveled to modern time and space.

After crossing over, the location is in the building near the company, which Lin Daxin bought.

Lin Daxin opened the laptop in the room, logged in to his bank account, and saw the amount displayed on the account, Lin Daxin smiled with satisfaction, not counting the company's funds, now he has more than 3 billion yuan in his private account.

can have so much money, thanks to the large amount of antique jade that his cousin Wang Yan helped Lin Daxin acquire in the Qing Dynasty, so that Lin Daxin was transported to modern time and space for a large amount of RMB, so that Lin Daxin could buy a large number of materials in modern time and space and transport them to the Qing Dynasty to meet the living needs of more than 100,000 people in the Sailor School.

After Lin Daxin picked up the mobile phone and turned it on, he called Liu Qiang, the general manager of his company, and after the mobile phone rang twice, he connected the phone.

Liu Qiang's voice came from the earpiece of the mobile phone, "Boss, I've been calling you for the past few days, and the things you explained have been done!" ”

Lin Daxin was secretly happy when he heard this, it turned out that Lin Daxin told Liu Qiang to buy several formulas of high-strength alloy steel, and was going to take them to the steel factory of the Qing Dynasty to produce alloy steel for armor steel plates for warships.

Moreover, Lin Daxin also asked Liu Qiang to find detailed design drawings of various steam warships, and prepare to get them to the Qing Dynasty's own shipyard and start building warships.

Lin Daxin walked out of the building to the side of a Mercedes-Benz car downstairs, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. Lin Daxin has learned to drive in modern time and space and obtained a driver's license. This Mercedes-Benz is the car that Lin Daxin bought for himself in modern time and space.

Lin Daxin drove to the company and found Liu Qiang, the general manager. Liu Qiang first gave Lin Daxin a bag and said: "Boss, this is the formula and process technology of five kinds of high-strength alloy steel!" ”

Asking the company's employees to bring a few large suitcases, Liu Qiang continued: "This is the blueprint of the steam warship that the boss asked me to collect, including 8 types of steam battleships, 10 types of steam cruisers, 4 types of steam destroyers, and 3 types of offshore steam gunboats!" The drawings of these warships are all British and German warships before World War I! The drawings also include the design drawings of the steam engines and boilers on these warships, all the drawings are in accordance with the boss's requirements, and the fonts on the drawings are translated into traditional Chinese! Boss, do you see these drawings enough? ”

Liu Qiang has become accustomed to his boss asking the company to buy some strange things, Lin Daxin asked him to collect the design drawings of these steam warships, and Liu Qiang no longer asked Lin Daxin what he wanted these drawings for!

Lin Daxin nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" Thank you for your hard work, Manager Liu! Put these drawings in the trunk of my car! ”

Then Lin Daxin explained to Liu Qiang, the company continued to buy a large number of rice, white flour, canned food and other daily necessities, in order to prepare for the new students to be recruited by the Sailor School, Lin Daxin drove away from the company in a hurry, returned to the house in the community, and transported the alloy formula process data and the design drawings of the warship back to the Qing Dynasty.
