Chapter 175: Wang Xiao is critically ill

The Chinese have always had a sense of superiority over the Celestial Empire, even if they have suffered crushing defeats in previous foreign wars and realized the gap with the great powers, but this sense of superiority has only faded. In the face of the great powers, many Chinese became slaves and groveled. But in dealing with the other countries of the Far East, this sense of superiority of the Celestial Empire has been restored. In today's China, the vast majority of people do not regard the eastern island countries at all, until two years later, when the Beiyang Fleet was defeated and the Manchu army also suffered a crushing defeat, which made the Chinese people realize the reality. The eastern island countries, which were originally unaffordable, have left them far behind.

Wang Yuze absolutely did not want this view to prevail in western Sichuan, especially in the navy. Surrounded by the sea, if they want to develop, they must have a strong navy, which is why they have always attached importance to naval construction. In the same way, if Kawanishi wants to curb his ambitions, he must defeat their navy, and only in this way can he cut off the path of Rimoto from the sea to the mainland.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current RI may not be as good as us. However, the RI themselves are a very paranoid people, they are indomitable and vow not to give up until they achieve their goals. Even if they are not as good as the Beiyang Fleet at present, I believe that with the construction of the whole country, their navy will eventually narrow the gap with the Beiyang Fleet. When the time comes, if there is a war between the Riben Navy and the Beiyang Fleet, I will not be good for the Beiyang Fleet. The Beiyang Fleet was bound to lose. And what kind of virtue the Manchu army was, everyone knows better. If there was a war between the Manchus and the Manchus, the Manchus would inevitably lose. The Manchu Qing Dynasty that failed will inevitably cede land and pay reparations and the like. This is absolutely not allowed in western Sichuan. Because, now all the Qiē of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was taken away from our ancestors two hundred years ago, and they are all things that belong to us, and they must not be allowed to stand by outsiders. Therefore, if the Manchus are defeated, we must defeat the Riben and at the same time overthrow the Manchus, guarantee that our interests will not be harmed! Wang Yuze said sternly.

Zhang Cheng and other Admiralty officials, although they couldn't believe that Riben, an eastern island country, dared to go to war against the Manchus, this was completely touching the tiger's ass! Even if the Manchu Qing is a sick tiger, it's not something that a little RI can deal with! However, Wang Yuze attaches so much importance to this matter, which also makes them have to treat it carefully. Regardless of whether you agree with Wang Yuze's point of view or not, it is always not wrong to seize the time to train the navy and give it the strength to defeat Xiao Riben. Of course, this goal is not difficult to achieve in everyone's future. When the fleet in western Sichuan returns to China, it will have four 10,000-ton warships, which will be the most powerful warships in the entire Far East and even in the world. With these battleships alone, it will be enough to crush the navy of the little ribe. However, the prerequisite is that the strength of these formidable warships can be fully utilized.

"Don't worry, young marshal. If the little riben really dares to come, we guarantee that they will not come back! Zhang Cheng and others assured Wang Yuze.

Wang Yuze knows that everyone has always been a little contemptuous of RI Ben, even if he emphasized it, it is still very difficult to make everyone pay attention to it. He can't help it, perhaps, only when RI himself really shows his hideous minions, everyone will recognize the reality! However, by then, the Kawanishi Navy hopes to have the naval strength to defeat Korimoto.

"I hope you will keep what I said today. This will be the focus of our next phase in western Sichuan. If it leaks out, it will be very bad for our future development! Wang Yuze said solemnly.

"Yes, we promise to keep it a secret!" Several officials of the Admiralty have reassured. The news that western Sichuan would overthrow the Manchus in two years and unify China made everyone very excited. The Manchus have plagued China for so many years that it is long overdue to overthrow them. However, they were always a little skeptical about the war against the Manchus two years later. However, this does not affect the fact that even if Riben did not start a war against the Manchus two years later, with the strength of western Sichuan, it would be enough to overthrow the Manchus lightly.

"Also, I need to remind you of that. Our military ports, shipyards, and ship design centers all need to be strictly life-saving. We have arranged for personnel from the Military Intelligence Agency to be stationed in military ports and shipyards to improve the counterintelligence arrangements to the greatest extent. In addition, the navy's own garrison should also be quickly established, initially set up at four regiments. Put one regiment in Zhanjiang and two regiments in Beihai. Fangchenggang and Qinzhou put a regiment together! Wang Yuze said. The learning ability of the little riben is quite perverted. Their ability to steal other countries' advanced technology is equally formidable. Therefore, western Sichuan must take precautions in this regard. Even though, the current Kawanishi is far behind in shipbuilding technology and design. However, under the high-intensity investment in western Sichuan, surpassing RI means that RI can be waited. When the time comes, you have to guard against Riben's shameless tricks. The Military Intelligence Bureau in western Sichuan has become the most comprehensive and complete intelligence agency in western Sichuan, and over the years, it has made great contributions to western Sichuan. With the assistance of the Military Intelligence Agency, coupled with the Navy's own capabilities, there should be no problem.

"Don't worry, young marshal, we will pay more attention to this aspect!" Zhang Cheng nodded. The Admiralty does not yet have a dedicated person in charge of this aspect, and in fact, the Admiralty is also in the initial period, and there are still a large number of institutions and personnel in place. These need to be sounded and perfected in the next two years.

"In addition, the Marines can also start recruiting. It is possible to recruit from among the soldiers of western Sichuan. After two years, it is necessary to form combat effectiveness! Wang Yuze did not forget this point, and specially reminded.

"Yes, young marshal!" Zhang Cheng agreed. Two years after Wang Yuze had been doing everything, this made them nervous. Two years are fleeting, and if the navy really needs to be dispatched by then, but the navy has not formed a combat effectiveness, then they will have nothing to say. Therefore, everyone secretly made up their minds to make more efforts in the coming period to ensure that the chain will not fall off after two years.

In the next few days, Wang Yuze inspected the construction of Zhanjiang Port, Fangcheng Port and Qinzhou Port. Compared with the North Seaport, the construction progress of several other ports is much later. In particular, Zhanjiang Port, which is a military port, can almost meet the current needs of the western Sichuan Navy after the Beihai Port is put into use. Therefore, the Admiralty gave priority to guaranteeing the construction of the North Sea Port. After the other ports are completed, the Zhanjiang Port is being built. Fangcheng Port and Qinzhou Port were built as civilian ports. The U.S. West China Group will invest a large amount of money and equipment to focus on the development of these two ports. This point does not require much heart from Wang Yuze.

After going around these ports, Wang Yuze's heart is much better. The navy in western Sichuan has grown from scratch and is thriving, which makes him very excited. With a strong army, then a strong navy, and with the advancement of technology, a strong air force will also be created. Only in this way will China be able to join the ranks of the great powers and compete with them for control of the world. However, the most important thing in front of Sichuan West is reunification, and the second is to defeat Xiao Riben's ambitions. This will be an important preparation direction for western Sichuan in the next two years. China's rise and rejuvenation will also be the real beginning. As for how far we can go in the future, it depends on Wang Yuze's ability and China's development. At least, Wang Yuze, who is sure of the future, believes that he has a good chance of succeeding.

After inspecting the port, Wang Yuze also went deep into the people of Guangxi to understand the situation. Under the swift arrangement of the cabinet, a large number of officials trained in western Sichuan have been put in place, and with the help of the army, they have taken over the power of Guangxi in an all-round way. The handover process is basically smooth. The only deficiency is that when those Manchu officials left, they left all the treasury in half empty and threw a mess in western Sichuan. Fortunately, the western Sichuan side has prepared enough funds, otherwise it would be really bad.

In addition, Guangxi's western Sichuan model reform is also being carried out in Shunlì. The whole of Guangxi is full of mountains and little land. There are also a large number of ethnic minorities, and the situation is more complicated. However, the vast number of landless and landless peasants are very supportive of the policy of redeeming land and distributing land to the peasants in western Sichuan. As a result, Guangxi's reform has won the support of the broad masses of the people and can be carried out smoothly. Only in some areas where the clan power is relatively large, it still needs to be implemented step by step. However, in general, Guangxi has quickly been incorporated into the rule of western Sichuan.

The three brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, which entered Guangxi, were also comprehensively adjusted. Among them, the 2nd Brigade deployed Guilin in the northeast of Guangxi to guard against the Qing army in Hunan. The 6th Brigade deployed Wuzhou to guard against the Qing army in Guangdong. The Fifth Brigade was deployed to defend the Chongzuo area, and it was the French in Indochina to the south.

By the time these inspections were over, it had been 20 months since Wang Yuze left Chengdu. It's also time to return. It is also very close to the time of his eldest lady Xiong Menghan's birth. If he hurries back, he should still be able to catch up.

When Wang Yuze was about to return to Beihai to encourage the officials of the Admiralty. Zhang Cheng, the minister of the Admiralty, rushed to the countryside and found Wang Yuze with a stern face.

After finding Wang Yuze, Zhang Cheng took out a telegram directly from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yuze.

After taking one, the telegram was sent from the Marshal's Mansion, and there were only six words on it: The Marshal is critically ill, return quickly.

"Wang Wei, get ready to go, let's return to Chengdu immediately!" Wang Yuze left and ordered.

"Yes, young marshal!" Wang Wei left to prepare.

"Minister Zhang, the navy will be handed over to you!" Before leaving, Wang Yuze said to Zhang Cheng.

"Don't worry, young marshal! In two years, I will definitely give you a strong navy! Zhang Cheng assured.
