For this naming ceremony, the government specially set aside a place in Tianjin Port for more than 10 warships of the fleet to dock.

As I said before, Tianjin is now building infrastructure on a large scale, such as roads. As one of the most important ports in the north, Tianjin Port is naturally included.

Since the government of the Kuomintang government was stabilized, the Tianjin municipal government began to expand the port of Tianjin. Although there is no way to make the entire Tianjin Port look new in more than half a year, the overall scale is still much larger than half a year ago, and it is even enough to set aside an area on the wharf for more than a dozen warships to dock without affecting the operation of the entire port, and at the same time it is enough for tens of thousands of people to stand on the wharf without feeling crowded.

Of course, with the current interest of these people, even if the dock is a little crowded, they will not pay attention. Because at this moment, their attention was all focused on the more than ten steel behemoths on the dock, even for those who had seen the heyday of the Beiyang Navy, these steel behemoths in front of them were extremely shocking, especially the three dreadnoughts that were one hundred and sixty or seventy meters long...

"These things are really big enough," said a member of Congress, who was standing in the VIP seat at the front, a little shocked. With such a few behemoths in front of you, it is impossible not to be shocked.

Hearing the words of his colleague, another member of parliament standing beside him also spoke. "Yes, I've read the information, and I heard that the shortest of the three is more than 160 meters, and the longest is almost 180 meters long..."

"That's big enough..."

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the price of one or two hundred million..."

Although before that, these councilors did not criticize Yan Shao's spending on this. even thinks that if Yan Shao's money really has nowhere to spend, it can be invested in education or other careers. But after seeing these three behemoths, such thoughts seem to have almost disappeared...

Meanwhile. In other parts of the dock, there was also a lot of talk, and it was obvious that the impact of these steel behemoths on them was also great.

Under the attention of tens of millions of people, Yan Shao, Fu Xiuming, Sa Zhenbing and others also held a ceremony for the entry into service and naming of warships.

As mentioned earlier, the two Minas Gerais-class battleships that were originally part of Brazil were named 'Wind Yang' and 'Cloud Yang', while the Rivadavia-class, which was originally part of Argentina, was named 'Chingyang'...

When Yan Shao stood on the deck of the 'Qingyang' ship and announced that the three battleships had entered service along with ten other destroyers and cruisers. The dock was filled with jubilation.

It's just that in the midst of this jubilation, the expressions of the diplomats from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony were a little complicated, but at this moment, I'm afraid not many people would care about their thoughts...

————————————————————

When tens of thousands of people on the dock rejoiced together. The faces of Elino and Caterina were filled with pride because their husbands had created everything in front of them. Even Kaoru Otsuki, who often looks a little weak when talking to Elanon, looked at Yan Shao standing on the deck of the 'Qingyang' ship, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

After noticing this. The mood of the three Elaline was a little worse. But when they thought that all this was pushed by them, they could only smile bitterly in their hearts.

At the same time, standing on the deck of the 'Qingyang' ship, he stroked the turret behind him (the gun barrel is too high, even if Yan Shao is one meter eighty-five tall, it is difficult to reach it if he doesn't jump up), Yan Shao turned to Liu Guanxiong, who had been following him. "This ship will be handed over to you in the future, you have to do a good job, you have been disappointed in my expectations..."

"Please rest assured..."Liu Guanxiong nodded seriously.

In fact, even if Yan Shao didn't say it, Liu Guanxiong would do it. Because now the navy has a lot of opinions about Liu Guanxiong as the captain of the 'Qingyang' ship, after all, the Haitian ship would sink at the beginning. Liu Guanxiong has to bear a large part of the responsibility, and he can become the captain of the 'Qingyang' ship, in addition to his qualifications, it is entirely because there was no suitable candidate in the navy at that time, but even so, the pressure on Liu Guanxiong is still very great.

Unlike Bu Zigao, who was Yan Shao's confidant when he was in Anhui, no one dared to say anything about Yan Shao's promotion of him to be the captain of the dreadnought, Liu Guanxiong was full of stains, so at this moment he was the one who needed to prove himself the most.

Seeing that Liu Guanxiong had indeed listened to his words, Yan Shao bowed slightly, feeling a little satisfied.

"Go, call a few young ladies up...", he whispered to Wu Qianqiu, who had been following, Yan Shao turned his head and smiled at Liu Guanxiong. So......... Captain Liu, don't mind if we go inside and have a look. ”

Yan Shao has never visited a dreadnought since he was a child, and he is naturally curious—————— Britain, France and other countries do not have dreadnoughts in the Far East, so even if Yan Shao's relationship with them is good, it is useless, the Japanese have dreadnoughts, but considering the relationship between the two sides...

So this is actually the first time Yan Shao has boarded the dreadnought, but he hasn't forgotten about Elaline and them, although Elaline and they may not be interested in these, but Yan Shao is sure that Caterina will definitely be interested...

"Of course not..."How dare Liu Guanxiong dare to say no, after all, Yan Shao is now his immediate boss.

On the other side, after hearing Yan Shao's order, Wu Qianqiu's legs were together. "Yes!"

After speaking, he nodded to Liu Guanxiong, Sa Zhenbing and the others, and walked briskly in the direction of the dock.

————————————————————

With the end of the naming ceremony and the induction ceremony, the jubilation on the pier can be regarded as an end. The position where Eleno and the others stood was the seat that only the women would stand on—————— many people brought the women to this ceremony, so it was natural to get a seat for the women, otherwise it would be somewhat inappropriate for a large group of men and women to squeeze together.

For men, those steel behemoths on the dock can undoubtedly make them talk about it for a long time, after all, men like this thing, and although the men who don't like it can't be said that there are none, but the number is still too small after all.

And for the women, these steel behemoths in front of them certainly brought them a great visual impact. But after that, they quickly lost interest in what was in front of them and began to discuss topics that only women would be interested in. For example, fashion, cosmetics, clothes, well, of course, the decoration of the home, or how your husband (son) is doing now.

If it weren't for the fact that the current occasion is a little special, it will fall in the eyes of others. You may even think that this is a salon, a cocktail party...

And as the highest-ranking woman in the audience, Elano and the others were unsurprisingly the core of the people who were surrounded in the middle, even Kaoru Otsuki herself.

But while they were still there talking about some women's topics. Wu Qianqiu walked over the crowd from a distance. Seeing Wu Qianqiu coming over, those ladies immediately stopped—————— some of the words between women were not allowed to be heard by men.

And looking at Wu Qianqiu, Elano and the others also guessed his intention.

Really. After stopping. Wu Qianqiu relayed Yan Shao's words.

When Elaline and the others left with Yan Shao, there was no such thing as a dreadnought in Europe, and when they arrived in Asia, even if they wanted to see it, they didn't have that chance, let alone Lu Ying.

But then again, Elaline and Lu Ying didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, just looked at Katerina's excited expression, and there was a hint of helplessness on their faces. They felt like they had to go up...

On the other side, after hearing Wu Qianqiu's explanation. Kaoru Otsuki's face also showed a hint of envy that could not be checked.

Although he was still a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning, after a period of time, Kaoru Otsuki was no longer so resistant to Yan Shao, and he would make some intimate gestures in private. Yan Shao comes from the next generation, and his temperament in this regard is also relatively anxious, so in a short time, Yan Shao seems to have done almost everything else that should be done to Kaoru Otsuki except for the last layer, which also makes Otsuki Kaoru a little desperate for Yan Shao, after all, as a woman in this era, Kaoru Otsuki's way of thinking is very different from Yan Shao.

It's just that no matter how intimate the two behave in private, the relationship between the two is still a secret after all, and even if it is rumored to be miraculous in the outside world, how could Wu Qianqiu not know that Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru have nothing to do with each other (Yan Shao can't bring a light bulb to watch from the side when he is cheating with someone), so all the words just now were said to Elanon, and Otsuki Kaoru can only look at this kind of thing with envy...

The current matter between her and Yan Shao has made her feel guilty about Elano and them, how could she take the initiative to stand up and fight for something...

It's just that what Kaoru Otsuki didn't expect was that Elano and the others had not walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back to her. "Kaoru, hurry up and catch up!"

“？” Although I don't know what's going on, I'm actually quite curious in my heart, not to mention the past. But a few days ago, she was taken advantage of by Yan Shao, and she was desperate for him, not to mention that she didn't want to get the same treatment as Elaline, so after hearing Elaline's words, she immediately lifted her skirt and followed quickly.

And her move once again confirmed the speculation of many people on the dock. After all, they heard Wu Qianqiu's words clearly just now, and Elano and the others were even Okuzuri, even Kaoru Otsuki......... Doesn't this illustrate the connection between her and Yan Shao?

————————————————————

At the naming ceremony, not only many military and political dignitaries from the Kuomintang and Social Affairs rushed over, but also many well-known figures from all walks of life were invited. As the two giants of the Kuomintang (it turned out to be three, but... Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were naturally among the invitees.

Unlike in the past, at this time, the two of them had somewhat understood the past of Kaoru Otsuki and Sun Yat-sen, and knew many things about it.

Originally, they had always wanted to mediate the bad relationship between Sun Yat-sen and Yan Shao, but now it seems...

"I'm afraid there's no way..."With a wry smile, Huang Xing shook his head and said.

With some contact in the past, the relationship between Yan Shao and Huang Xing is still relatively good, and in layman's terms, it is quite face-saving. But Huang Xing also knows that this little thing between men and women is the most complicated in the world, and if there is still the possibility of reconciliation in other things, then there is not even the slightest thing about this kind of thing...

Unlike Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren's helplessness, all that was left on Yamaza Enjiro's face at the moment was annoyance.

In the eyes of him, a right-winger. Every Japanese citizen should sacrifice for his country, even if it is his life that needs to be sacrificed (a later Japanese person: "If you want people to die for it, let it perish"). Kaoru Otsuki, who rejected his request, is undoubtedly like a national thief...

Not only Madojiro Yamaza, but also many other Japanese people, but at the moment they have no other way to deal with what they see as 'national thieves'.

Pull out a gun? After the many assassinations some time ago, the people of the Secret Service and the Guards Regiment were staring at the Japanese the most, and I am afraid that they had already been shot into a hornet's nest before they could take out their guns.

Take a knife? Then you might as well pull out a gun. What's more, there is a checkpoint before entering, and the knife is so long, how can they hide it. Therefore, the Japanese on the dock at the back of the harf could only watch Kaoru Otsuki and Elano and others board the 'Wind Yang'...

Incidentally, when the three ships "Fengyang", "Yunyang" and "Qingyang" returned to their home, many people in Japan suggested that the "Empire" should send a fleet to intercept them. Sink or capture these three dreadnoughts. Take it for yourself.

I have to say that this proposal is indeed very tempting, after all, in addition to the "Fuso" class super dreadnoughts under construction, although Japan has more than a dozen battleships, but they are only former dreadnoughts. If three dreadnoughts can be obtained, then the strength of the Japanese Navy will be greatly improved.

Of course, there is another question to consider before that, and that is what to do if the three dreadnoughts resist. However, none of this is a problem in the eyes of the Japanese, because they have already looked into it beforehand. It is clear that with the strength of the Chinese Navy, it is not enough to control these three dreadnoughts. If you really decide to do it, you can get these three dreadnoughts into your hands at a very low cost.

In contrast, the Japanese had a headache how to find these three warships.

After all, the technology at this time was not as developed as in later generations, and even if there were no satellites, it was still possible to find targets through radar and other means. However, in this era, not to mention AWACS aircraft or anything, even airplanes have not yet been thoroughly put into practical use, and it is not easy to find a few warships in the vast sea...

In a way, finding these three dreadnoughts is even more difficult than capturing them.

But in the end, they don't need to have a headache, because the government doesn't allow them to do it at all. Because if the Japanese did this, a war would almost certainly break out between the two countries, and Japan was not ready for it at the moment, not to mention that they would definitely not have the support of the British and American powers.

And on those three dreadnoughts, there were still a large number of Brazilians and Americans, these were either the officers and men of the Brazilian Navy, or the technical personnel of the New York shipyard in the United States, if the battle really started, the Japanese would not be able to avoid accidentally injuring them...

Forget about Brazil, after all, it's just a regional power in South America, and it's not taken seriously by the Japanese, but the words of the United States...

At the moment, Japan is not ready to turn against the United States, let alone China and Brazil.

So this seemingly very tempting plan can only end up in nothing...

I don't know what happened behind the scenes, Kaoru Otsuki, like Elanon, was the first time to board such a large warship, and Katerina looked around with interest.

In contrast, Yan Shao was taken aback when he saw Otsuki Kaoru come up, but soon this surprise turned into joy, after all, he was also willing to come up with Otsuki Kaoru.

"Let's go! Let's take a look..."

Although the appearance of Kaoru Otsuki was quite unexpected by Yan Shao, it was so reasonable in the eyes of outsiders, so neither Liu Guanxiong nor other government officials who boarded the ship had any questions, and the etiquette towards her was almost the same as that of Elanon, which made her look at Elano and them with a weak heart, and at the same time, she was a little happy in her heart.

didn't care about this, Yan Shao just visited the various facilities on the ship in turn under the guidance of Liu Guanxiong and others, such as the quarters of the officers and men of the ship, all kinds of weapons, and even the engine room at the bottom of the floor—————— of course, we all know very well that this kind of place is usually very ......... The unhygienic kind, so Yan Shao was the only one who went down, and Elaline and the others stayed on it and waited quietly...

In addition, Yan Shao also went to the dining room to see how the food of the officers and men of the ship was, and even sat down to taste some for himself—————— if there was a camera next to him at this time, it would seem to be more perfect.

————————————————————

When Yan Shao and the others got off the boat, it was already more than two hours later, and the people below had already dispersed a lot. As for the military and political officials in the government, diplomats from various countries, and the guests invited this time, like Yan Shao, they also visited other ships.

For these people, it is not uncommon to be able to visit warships, especially battleships.

"This warship is really big enough, it really deserves to be a dreadnought..."Saying this, Yan Shao looked at Katarina. What do you think? It's worth the trip..."

Perhaps because of her background, Caterina is also very clear about military things, in addition to the things that some women are interested in. When I first visited the ship, I was very interested. (To be continued......)
