In early September, the 1st Division of the Japanese mercenaries arrived in the Nanyang region by ship. The 10,000 Japanese troops, with a wing as a unit, landed in Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia and Malaya. Under the command of the local squadron, a fierce attack was launched against the local Nanyang natives. Often, after discovering the settlement of the Nanyang aborigines, the scouts and special forces of the squadron notified the Japanese mercenaries, and then these Japanese mercenaries surrounded the settlements of the Nanyang aborigines, and then carried out a brutal massacre.
I have to admit that the Japanese have a very high talent in doing this. As soon as they arrived in Nanyang in September, they exterminated tens of thousands of natives and seized hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wealth. This greatly appreciated the Chinese General Staff, which already plans to form two more Japanese mercenary divisions next year.
These Japanese are not afraid of death, and when they start a war, they will not die at all. Those Nanyang natives used extremely rudimentary weapons, and they were no match for these Japanese at all. Under the impact of the Japanese who were not afraid of death, they suffered defeat after defeat. Since the arrival of the Japanese in Nanyang, the natives have suffered, and some ethnic groups have been slaughtered. In order to protect themselves, these Nanyang natives even hid in the deep mountains and old forests, as far away as possible from the Chinese settlements. Now, these natives can't even guarantee the safety of their own tribes, let alone attack Chinese settlements. In the entire Nanyang region, the Japanese mercenaries have completely become demonic beings.
However, these actions of the Japanese were also reported by those pervasive Western newspapers. This caused an uproar in the West once again. Many countries have erupted in opposition to genocide in Nanyang and demanded that China immediately stop the massacre of the indigenous people in Nanyang. It's just that China doesn't recognize it at all, because none of the Chinese people participated in the massacre of the natives of Nanyang. He put all the blame on the Japanese and affirmed that this was the act of the Japanese mercenaries themselves. None of them have anything to do with China. China recruited these Japanese mercenaries in order to maintain stability in the South Seas. As for the contradictions between Japan and the natives of the South Seas, China does not interfere at all.
With China's support, Japan also jumped out very arrogantly, claiming that after the Japanese mercenaries arrived in Nanyang. It was attacked by the natives of the South Seas. What they do is nothing more than revenge. In the face of protests and denunciations from the West, Japan did not take it seriously and ignored it at all. In any case, Japan owes huge debts to Britain, France, the United States and other countries. I don't plan to pay it back, and there are already irreconcilable contradictions with the West. As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry, and if you have more lice, you don't have to itch, and Japan only needs to curry favor with China. Leave the Western world at all. Anyway, with China in front, there is no way for Japan to do anything about Western countries.
Of course, Western countries are clear about China's use of Japan's hand to kill the natives of the South Seas. It's just that Japan took the initiative to resist this person, which makes them have no reason to blame China anymore. At most, it is only that China is not well regulated. In addition, China's constant exposure to the sins committed by Western countries in the Americas and Africa makes it even more difficult for these Western countries to discredit China on this point. After all, there is also a whole bunch of shit under their own ass that has not been wiped clean. The natives of Nanyang have been completely and selectively forgotten.
Proper resolution of the Nanyang issue. Wang Yuze was very satisfied. The Great Migration Plan is being carried out in an orderly manner, and after the natives in the Nanyang region are constantly driven into the deep mountains and old forests, the safety of the migrants is rarely threatened, and the people in China are also relieved. No more resistance to immigration. The construction of infrastructure in the country and in the newly occupied territories is also proceeding according to plan, and the whole of China is like a huge construction site. The strength of the country is also booming. Once China has digested the benefits of this war. Then, China will become the world's top power, and it is just around the corner.
The cabinet and the General Staff are responsible for specific affairs, and Wang Yuze has suddenly become idle and has a lot of time to spend with his family and children. Especially with the passage of time, several sons have reached the age of going to school, and in order for the children to become talents, Wang Yuze, as a father, has also spent a lot of time on them. In the past few years as the emperor, Wang Yuze has always rejected the construction of concubines, and there are always only so many concubines, which makes Xinhua Palace somewhat deserted. However, it has also won the love of the people.
In mid-October 1900, when Wang Yuze was dying, Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, came to the door.
"Minister Zhang Cheng see His Majesty!" Zhang Cheng, who was promoted to marshal, has been in a very good mood recently, and at the same time full of energy. He was counting on another victory in the next war. Then, he can be promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal by virtue of his military merits.
"Oh? Lord Zhang? What's the matter?" Wang Yuze asked a little lazily. Once the country is peaceful, he, who is the emperor, will be a little bored.
"I heard that His Majesty has been relatively idle recently, so I would like to ask His Majesty to inspect Tianjin!" Zhang Cheng said.
"Tianjin? What's wrong?" Wang Yuze asked.
"That's right, the Navy's warship design institute has already designed the drawings of the 'Han-class' battleship according to your requirements. In addition, there are several types of warships that the Navy will focus on in the coming years, and you will need to decide on them. This is directly related to the development of the Navy in the coming years! Zhang Cheng said. If the navy wants to get more military spending and build more warships, it must first satisfy Wang Yuze in a large way. Therefore, after the new battleship was designed, Zhang Cheng immediately came to ask Wang Yuze to inspect it.
"The 'Han-class' battleship was designed? That's good news. Well, we'll go to Tianjin tomorrow! Wang Yuze said immediately. It just so happens that he is very idle now, so he can take this opportunity to go out and breathe.
When the emperor goes on tour, there are too many etiquettes to pay attention to. Wang Yuze is too lazy to bother, so he has always been light and simple. After just suing Prime Minister Yang Hua and Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, under the protection of Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, and others, a group of more than a dozen people left the palace and rushed to Tianjin by train. As for security, there will be no problem at all. Although there are only a dozen people on the surface, secretly, there are at least hundreds of people accompanying them. In the event of a dangerous situation, you can quickly contact the local police department and the garrison. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security has focused on strengthening the crackdown on the spy agencies deployed in the country by various countries, which has caused heavy losses to all countries, and domestic security has also been raised to a higher level.
On October 16, Wang Yuze and his entourage arrived at Tianjin Dagu Shipyard. With the northward shift of the ruling center, many of the roles of the original Beihai Shipyard were replaced by the Tianjin Dagu Shipyard. The most important battleship design institute was also set up in Dagu. On the one hand, it is convenient for security protection from the leakage of the information of the Empire's advanced warships, and on the other hand, it is easy to manage. Now the design and construction of warships of the Chinese Navy is absolutely at the leading level in the world. Therefore, many spies in various countries have tried in vain to steal relevant information. And here, it has also become a key defense place for China's military intelligence agency and the Ministry of Homeland Security. Within a radius of five kilometers, there is a military restricted area, and there is a regiment of troops stationed. In addition, the shipyard itself has a battalion-sized escort team, plus agents from the Military Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, and the defense here is completely impregnable. Over the past few days, especially after the Chinese Navy has made a great effort to defeat the combined fleets of Britain, France, and Russia, the Military Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security have jointly cracked dozens of incidents of trying to steal the information of the Chinese Navy's advanced warships, and hundreds of spies have been captured and killed. Among these people were the British, the Americans, the French and the Russians, as well as the Germans, China's quasi-allies. It can be seen that for the sake of battleship technology, no one can be relied on.
After Wang Yuze arrived at the Battleship Design Institute, Barclays, who was already the chief designer of the design institute? Smit showed Wang Yuze his latest work, the 'Han-class' battleship, which can be said to have been designed exactly according to Wang Yuze's requirements. At the same time, what satisfies Wang Yuze is that in the design institute, except for many Westerners, most of them are already Chinese. After several years of training, the Chinese side has also produced a lot of outstanding warship designers. And the 'Han-class' battleship, is a few Chinese designers with Barcles? Smit finished. After all, Barclays? Schmitt was German, and although Germany and China had close relations, China had to guard against it. At a time when there are hostile powers such as Britain and France, China and Germany may be able to unite to fight the enemy together. But after defeating these enemy countries, I am afraid that China and Germany will eventually have a war for world hegemony. Keeping some hole cards properly is very necessary for China.
In the past, China needed to learn from Germany everywhere, and many technologies needed to be purchased or supported from China. And Germany, too, does not hand over everything to China. Fortunately, after several years of development, China has passed the most difficult period. Although there is still a certain gap between China and Germany at the level of industrialization, China is still inferior to Germany in steel, chemical industry and machinery manufacturing. But overall, the gap is not big anymore, and it is still narrowing. Give China a few more years, and China may be able to catch up. At least, in terms of the design of battleships, now China is on the defensive against Germany! (To be continued.)
