The 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier designed by the Chinese Navy for future wars, and unlike the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier as a training ship, the larger 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier can carry more carrier-based aircraft, so as to have a more powerful attack force. The Emeishan-class aircraft carrier will carry a group of 24 F5B Puffin fighters, a group of 24 H5B Sea Harrier bombers, a group of 24 H5C Osprey torpedo attack aircraft, and eight supplementary aircraft. In addition, it can carry eight 'Seagull' seaplanes for reconnaissance. From the point of view of attack power, the combat power of the 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier is at least more than twice that of the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier formation consisting of two 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers is enough to deal a devastating blow to an imperial fleet. Moreover, the speed of up to 28 knots is enough to throw off the battleship of any country, and its own safety is also guaranteed!

At the same time, the air base is also developing newer fighters and bombers, and once the test flight is completed, the combat capability of the aircraft carrier will be improved again. And this is where the confidence of the Chinese Navy lies. However, Chinese shipyards lack sufficient experience in the construction of aircraft carriers, and the progress of construction is relatively slow, and if the 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier is to be put into service, I am afraid that it will have to wait until three years later. By then, maybe the war has already begun!

In addition, the Navy's warship design institute has begun to develop more powerful aircraft carriers. The 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier is just a test of hands, and after getting acquainted with it, the battleship design institute will be able to come up with a better plan. Now, inside the warship design institute of the Chinese Navy. Chinese engineers have made up the vast majority, and have shifted from the previous predominance of foreign experts to the predominance of Chinese experts.

Wang Yuze spent two days at the Tianjin Shipyard, and in addition to attending the groundbreaking ceremony of the battleship "Empire," he also inspected the progress of the construction of the "Emeishan" aircraft carrier, which is under construction. Looking at the aircraft carrier being gradually built on the slipway, Wang Yuze was also very excited. Whoever controls the sea will control the whole world, whether it is the former maritime hegemon Britain or the global hegemon of the United States in Wang Yuze's memory, first of all, they are the world's first maritime powers. And now. China has left them far behind. Wang Yuze believes that after the end of this war, China will be able to replace Britain as the new maritime hegemon. In the struggle for world hegemony with Germany, it will also have an advantage!

The remaining months of 1909. The whole world is very calm. In a state of tranquility, the world entered 1910. In the past year, the situation in the world has become more tense, but all countries are frantically expanding their armaments, and none of them seems to have any intention of provoking a war until they have completed their preparations for war. Therefore. Even though the shape was very tense, the war did not break out in the end. In the midst of the horror of Europe, 1910 passed.

In the spring of 1911, Morocco, a country in northwestern Africa. The country, which once led to a bitter conflict between France and Germany, is once again in the spotlight of the world. According to the Algeses Conference of 1906, France received a lot of interests from Morocco, and Germany had interests in Morocco. It's much smaller than in France. France, believing that they had won the battle against Germany for Morocco, intensified their plundering of Morocco's wealth. And this. It also caused discontent among the Moroccans.

In the spring of 1911, a large-scale uprising broke out in Fez, the capital of Morocco, against the Moroccan Sultan and French colonizers. The insurgents stormed the palace, and the Moroccan Sultan Abdelhafid fled Fez in a rampant manner. At the same time, the French diaspora was also greatly affected, and many insurgents robbed the French expatriates of their wealth, which was inevitably accompanied by killing and adultery. In just one month, the uprising spread throughout Morocco.

France has always tried to turn Morocco into a French protectorate, a real French colony. However, because of Germany's obstruction, France has never been able to achieve its wish. Although France has gained great benefits in Morocco, it has always wanted to swallow Morocco in one gulp. However, due to the agreement signed at the beginning, Morocco could not be turned into a French protectorate. It's just that France has been waiting for an opportunity. And this time the uprising broke out in Morocco, and a large number of French expatriates were killed and injured, which undoubtedly gave France an excellent opportunity!

On March 21, 1911, French President Clement Armand Falier convened an emergency meeting at the Elysée Palace to discuss a solution to Morocco's problems. However, from the greed in President Felier's eyes, most people know that His Excellency the President wants to take this opportunity to turn Morocco into a French colony!

After successfully resolving the threat posed to France by the war in the Middle East and winning great benefits for France in the first Moroccan crisis, President Felier's prestige in France rose considerably, which is why he was re-elected. During this period, the prime minister and ministers of the cabinet have changed a lot, but he has always been as stable as a mountain.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Prime Minister and the ministers arrived in the palatial meeting room of the Élysée Palace, where in addition to President Clement Armand Falière, included Prime Minister Joseph Cayo, Minister of Foreign Affairs Giustan de Servi, Minister of War Adolfo Messimi, Minister of Finance Louis-Lucian Clotz, Minister of Labor and Social Security René Renur, Minister of Justice Jean Croupy, Minister of the Navy Theophile del Casse, Minister of Public Education and Chemistry Theodor Stig, Minister of Agriculture Jules Palms, Albel Brun, Minister of the Colonies, Victor Organieu, Minister of Public Works, Posts and Telegraphs, Maurice Kuiba, Minister of Commerce and Industry.

"Gentlemen, it is my great regret to inform you that Morocco, that ignorant and backward country, the ignorant Moroccans, have rebelled, and they are attacking their Sultan, and at the same time we, the French expatriate, are in the midst of a fire in the water. According to what we have so far, at least 100 expatriates have been killed in the rebellion, their wealth has been looted by the Moroccans, and their wives and daughters have been brutally humiliated. This is a provocation by the Moroccans against the French Republic, the powerful French Republic, this must be prevented, we must immediately send our troops to protect our people! President Fallier said with a sad and indignant face, as if he was really sad for the dead expatriates!

"Your Excellency Messimi, Your Excellency Delcasse, I ask the army and navy to cooperate in quelling the Moroccan rebellion in the shortest possible time!" President Fallier said!

Army Secretary Messimi and Navy Secretary Delcasse looked at each other, but did not immediately answer. Quelling the rebellion in Morocco was a breeze for France. But the conundrum now is how Germany would react if France sent troops to Morocco. Germany's army and navy were much more powerful than France's, and if Germany considered that France had violated the treaty signed at the Algeses Conference by sending troops into Morocco, the situation could get out of hand. If a fierce conflict, or even war, breaks out between France and Germany in Morocco, then there is a high probability that a world war will detonate as a result!

"Your Excellency, perhaps we should take into account the feelings of the Germans. The Germans are against us turning Morocco into a French protectorate, and if we send troops to Morocco, I am afraid it will anger the French! Prime Minister Joseph Cayo said with some concern.

"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister, this time we have a valid reason! The French diaspora is being slaughtered by the ignorant Moroccans, our army is there to save our expatriates, and the Germans have no reason to interfere with our operations! President Falier insisted. His term of office was coming to an end, and at the end of his term, he hoped to build on a legacy that would forever leave his name in French history. And turning Morocco, a strategic place that France has long coveted, into a French colony would undoubtedly be able to do so. Therefore, he desperately hopes that the army can enter Morocco and completely occupy Morocco after quelling the riots!

"Your Excellency, what if the Germans are hostile to this? So what should we do? Ready for a big war with the Germans? Foreign Minister Giustan de Servi asked. There is no doubt that although the French top brass knew that a major war was inevitable, they wanted to delay the outbreak of war as much as possible. Everyone felt threatened, and the rebellion that broke out in Morocco this time was likely to detonate the contradictions between France and Germany, and if a war broke out between France and Germany, then the whole world would be involved in the war!

"The Germans are strong, but we are not afraid of them! Your Excellency Selvi, the Foreign Office and the British side have contacted us, and I am sure that the UK will support us! President Falier said. Probably, France alone was no match for Germany. However, with the addition of a British, it is fully capable of confronting Germany. President Faliaer was therefore convinced that Germany would not fight France for the sake of a Morocco. It's a big deal, after the occupation of Morocco, just give the French a little compensation!

At the insistence of President Falière, the French government officially sent troops to Morocco under the pretext of protecting the expatriate.

In mid-April, 20,000 French troops entered Morocco, and it took only one month to quell the Moroccan rebellion and capture the Moroccan capital of Fez, as well as other cities!
