Chapter 230: The Reconstruction of the Japanese Navy

Ito shook his head and said, "It's useless, far water can't quench your thirst." At this time, Ito suddenly thought of the powerful Chinese ling, but then he threw the idea out of his mind.

He has a deep fear of the Chinese leader, and he knows very well that once he invites the Chinese leader to send troops to quell the rebellion, it is to give the other party a chance to meddle in the internal affairs of the Japanese, if so, he would rather die than agree.

Ito sighed and said, "The only way now is to put all the blame on me alone and use my life to calm the anger of the people, so as to preserve the vitality of the country and give us a chance to rise." ”

As soon as Ito's words came out, several people next to him were obviously relieved, but Xiyuan Temple, who had the best relationship with him, said hurriedly: "It's not worth it, not to mention that these failures are all the fault of the navy, what does it have to do with you." ”

Ito shook his head and said: "My old friend Ito has died on the battlefield and completed his integrity as a soldier, I don't want to smear his reputation after his death, so I will bear all the guilt." I'm old and useless, so let me do something for the country at the last time, and I'll leave it to you in the future. ”

After saying this, Ito slowly stood up, bowed deeply to the king and the officials, walked out of the main hall despite everyone's retention, and then walked straight through the wide square towards the gate of the imperial city.

"Alas, we disappointed Ito so much." Saionji sighed and looked up at the sky.

Katsura Taro on the side shook his head and said, "There is no way to do it, His Highness lost his power but saved his life, but we were saved by Ito." ”

On that day, the enraged rebels beat Ito to death, and then the Guards Division gave up resistance, and the rebels entered the palace without incident.

After putting all the blame on Ito, the officials were spared, but how could the soldiers who were not all the way to them be allowed to ascend to the high positions again, so the officials were dismissed, the military held the supreme power of the country, and King Taisho was grounded in the palace, which became a spiritual symbol.

The first military government on the planet was established in the Wa Kingdom, and Ryuichi Kato, who was executed by the Chugoku Territory, was revered as a national hero, while Ito became a sinner.

After they gained power, the five-member group of the highest authority was formed by army generals Nogi Noshinori and Naoshige Oshima, admirals Heihachiro Togo, Gonbei Yamamoto, and Yuzaburo Kato, an economic expert who had always been friendly with the military.

After discussion, everyone believed that if the Japanese country wanted to become strong and prosperous, the first thing to develop was the economy, and the fastest way to develop the economy was to develop the military industry, which would lead to the development of the entire country's economy, so that the country could become strong and prosperous.

When the country is strong, it will be able to fight against the Chinese leader, and when there is a suitable time, it will be able to defeat the Chinese leader in one fell swoop and get back all the things he has lost.

The most priority in the development of the military industry should be the development of the navy, because the Japanese are an island country, if there is no navy, there will be nothing, only when the navy is strong can it be attacked, retreated, defended, and give full play to the advantages of the island country, so the new Japanese government sent a note to the Chinese consulate, and they asked for the restoration of the navy on the grounds that the contract expired.

The contract has expired, and the Wa State already has a reasonable reason to restore the navy, and if the Chinese Territory stops it again, it will be a little too much, so Fang Xiaoyu expressed his agreement to the Wa State's intention to restore the navy.

With this opportunity, Fang Xiaoyu also pondered expanding the naval fleet again. Now the steel production of the Chinese leader is sufficient, the funds are also sufficient, not to mention the recent success of the power laboratory led by Benz to successfully experiment with a mature multi-stage impulse steam turbine, all of which have sufficient conditions.

Although the original government was overthrown, it had little impact on the economy, and although their national strength was far worse than that of the Chinese Lord, their development was also very rapid because they were not dragged down by the navy, a gold-swallowing beast.

Now the Wa State has enough national strength to rebuild its own navy, and the Wa State has built several large shipyards in recent years, and they intend to build their own warships.

Due to their lack of experience, they chose cruisers for their first warship, modeled after the latest 'Saran' class cruiser in the Saar Empire, and they designed their own cruiser named the 'Mogami' class cruiser, and started construction of five ships at the same time at two major shipyards.

With Fang Xiaoyu's grasp of the future trend of science and technology, and his familiarity with the navy, he can naturally design the most cost-effective warship.

After the steam turbine technology matured, the design of full-caliber battleships was put on the agenda by Fang Xiaoyu. The most excited person to get this news is Xu Shouchang, making this kind of dream battleship depicted by the teacher has always been the driving force for his work, and now that the dream has a chance to come true, he is naturally not willing to lag behind, and immediately put down the work in his hand and rushed to Fang Xiaoyu's study.

"Master, are you finally planning to build a new warship?" Xu Shouchang yelled as soon as he entered the door.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "What are you doing with such a loud voice?" As if you've suffered so much, wouldn't it be good to ask you to design a new warship? ”

Xu Shouchang said with a smile: "Of course, I've robbed a lot of money these days, and he has complained about me a lot." ”

Qian Huilin was a pacifist, so he was very averse to designing military ships, so Fang Xiaoyu always put him in charge of the design of civilian ships.

In addition to conventional ships such as bulk carriers, ro-ro ships, and tugboats, he has also designed a lot of special ships such as icebreakers, whaling ships, and dredgers, making the construction of civilian ships in China extremely prosperous, and can create tens of millions of net profits every year.

Xu Shouchang said: "I recently designed a 20,000-ton bulk carrier, and as a result, our own shipping company alone ordered 20 ships at a time, accounting for more than half of Lao Qian's dock. Xu Shouchang explained the reason why Qian Huilin complained about him.

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Yes, the larger the cargo ship, the higher the cost ratio, the lower the freight for us to use, I think you have a lot of talent for designing civilian ships, it is better to continue to do it." ”

Xu Shouchang said with a bitter face: "Master, you can't fool me, I still prefer to design warships." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Do you remember the kind of warship I told you before?" ”

Xu Shouchang nodded and said, "Of course I remember, that has always been my dream." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "You go back and design a warship of this kind and hand it over to me tomorrow." ”
