In the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager Cixi was silent after watching Yuan Shikai's recital, and did not directly appoint Chen Hao as the commander of the Nanyang Navy and the minister of Vietnam as Yang Shixiang thought. Just now, Li Lianying had just finished reading the newspaper to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Wang Ying in the newspaper satirized the "neutrality" of the imperial court, but praised Chen Hao's merits, so it stirred up the sensitive nerves of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The Empress Dowager Cixi hated the revolutionary party, and his desire for power became less strong in old age, but she was afraid that the revolutionary party would cause her to die a bad death. She privately forgave Chen Hao for snatching the foreigner's warship and appointed Chen Hao as the Minister of Vietnam, but she felt that the revolutionary party would not advocate for Chen Hao for no reason, and suspected that Chen Hao was involved with the revolutionary party.

This is not Wang Ying's fault, if Chen Hao wants to avoid a stalemate with the revolutionary party, it is necessary for Wang Ying to use the revolutionary newspaper to advocate for him.

Empress Dowager Cixi suspected that Chen Hao was involved in the revolutionary party, but could still appoint him as Minister of Vietnam, because Minister of Vietnam was an empty title that would not increase his strength. But the Admiral of the Nanyang Navy Division is different, and now that the Beiyang has fallen, the imperial court sailors mainly rely on the Nanyang. If all the ships were under the command of Chen Hao, Chen Hao would not only have a lot of ships and naval talents, but also have the authority to be stationed in Lingnan, if he was involved in the revolutionary party, the Empress Dowager Cixi would not dare to take risks.

After thinking about it for a long time, the Empress Dowager Cixi finally drafted a commendation will, but there was no substantial reward. This decree is still a secret decree, since she is not ready to appoint Chen Hao as the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, there is no need for the Empress Dowager Cixi to cancel the wanted to provoke the British and Japanese. After Yuan Shikai learned of Chen Hao's will, he sighed and said, "Lafayette seems to be quite jealous of Chen Baxian, so he vetoed my proposal, it seems that this matter is not easy to do." ”

Yang Shixiang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is probably worried that Chen Baxian is involved in the revolutionary party, and the court is wanted. It is difficult to guarantee that Chen Baxian will not complain, and this gives the revolutionary party an opportunity to take advantage of it. The Empress Dowager's refusal to let Chen Baxian serve as the Admiral of the Navy is both beneficial and disadvantageous, the advantage is that it may make Chen Baxian have a grudge against the imperial court, and the adults will have the opportunity to appoint him personally in the future, which will be more able to win him over. The disadvantage is that Chen Baxian may be more dissatisfied with the imperial court and may lean to the side of the revolutionary party. ”

Yuan Shikai sighed and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Yang Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "This matter is simple, your lord can send someone to go to Cam Ranh Bay with the angels." Tell him about the appointment of the Admiral of the Nanyang Naval Division. Then tell Chen Baxian that the imperial court did not agree because it suspected that he was involved with the revolutionary party, but the lord could trust him, and when the time came, he would apply for the post of commander of the Nanyang Navy again......"

Chen Hao didn't know that the high-level NPCs in the capital had a headache for him, and after the Battle of Tsushima, in addition to Liu Mazi leading the cruiser formation to cooperate with the Russians, the Cam Ranh Bay troops began to rest. The Russians sent another hundred naval instructors to Cam Ranh Bay, and Chen Hao immediately expanded the scale of the Cam Ranh Bay Sailor School, recruiting 2,000 NPC youths in the fourth phase.

There are 2,000 NPC youths, some of whom are NPCs who came from Lingnan to apologize. There are also some hot-blooded young people who voted because of the "Glory of the Water Master" stunt. Chen Hao was all arranged to serve as grassroots officers in the fleet for the veterans of the Beiyang or Nanyang Naval Division, and those with instructor talent were temporarily arranged in the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Academy.

Chen Hao took out the drawings of the A-class shipyard, and he considered building the shipyard in China, but in the end he still built the shipyard in Cam Ranh Bay. The foundation of his plan in the future was mainly domestic, but he immediately completed his plan in China to become the overseer of Guizhou, and there was still no location to build a large shipyard.

Large shipyards are absolutely noticeable in the country, and there is no control over the case of a province. It's not safe to build a shipyard. Chen Hao was anxious to build warships to strengthen his navy, because after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, he wanted to fight for sea power in the Pacific. So he made the decision to build the shipyard in Cam Ranh Bay.

A large shipyard was built in the inner harbor of Cam Ranh Bay, and 200 Russian shipbuilding technicians immediately began to work, and Xu Jianyin also rushed to Cam Ranh Bay to take up the post of general office of the shipyard. The first batch of destroyers to be built was built, and because of the destroyer drawings and supporting shipbuilding technology provided by the Russians, Xu Jianyin said that it was not difficult to build destroyers.

Chen Hao's navy is already on the right track, waiting until the shipyard can stably produce Invincible-class battlecruisers. He would sell some armored cruisers, protective cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats. These warships can be sold both to domestic competitors and to Nguyen Chi Van in Vietnam.

There is a reason why Chen Hao is ready to sell the eliminated warships to domestic players, and after the fiasco of the Battle of Tsushima in the game, the whole country of Japan is gloomy. Although the Japanese Army in the northeast won the Battle of Mukden, it was blocked due to sea communications. The Japanese Army was weak in its follow-up and was likely to be wiped out in the Northeast.

The Japanese NPC gambled on the national fortune to fight the Russian war, and after the fiasco at sea, Japan has fallen into absolute passivity. If the army in the northeast is completely annihilated by the Russians, most of Japan's interests on the Korean Peninsula will not be able to be preserved, and Japan will lose the opportunity to rise in the game, which will also be a disaster for Japanese players.

Real-world Japan is an economic powerhouse, and while NPCs are doing everything possible to raise funds, Japanese players are starting to put money in at any cost. On trading platforms in various countries, Japanese players are frantically buying in-game currency, which directly leads to a 50% increase in the exchange ratio of in-game currency to real currency.

All players understood why Japanese players were so crazy and knew that the exchange rate of game currency would not remain high forever, so they temporarily gave up on snapping up game currency with Japanese people. Some players who were originally reluctant to sell game currency couldn't help but be tempted after seeing the exchange ratio between game currency and real currency, and they put their game currency on the trading platform.

In the face of this situation, Chen Hao is powerless, his actual funds are not much, and of course it is impossible to confront a large number of players in Japan. It is also impossible for Huaxia players to snap up game currency at this time, because there is more than one enemy in Huaxia, and buying it when the price of game currency is high will only cheapen other countries, and it is Huaxia and Japan that suffer.

After Japanese players bought a large amount of game currency, some ordered warships in the United Kingdom, and some used it in exchange for political status at home. The Japanese realistically consumed a lot of wealth, making up for the major mistakes made by Japan in the game, and the Japanese NPC government was no longer financially stretched.

The Japanese base camp ordered the army, which had won the Battle of Mukden, to retreat to Korean territory, use guerrilla tactics to deal with the Russians, and not to fight the Russians in the event of insufficient supplies. At the same time, the Japanese base camp used the funds provided by the players to order two dreadnoughts, four Invincible-class battlecruisers, and other supporting ships from the British in one go.

Britain has always supported Japan, and after the disastrous defeat of the Japanese navy, the Russian fleet in the Pacific Ocean and the Cam Ranh Bay fleet made the British look unpleasant. The Dreadnought is the latest British warship, and now it has proven to be so powerful that the British were not originally prepared to sell it. But the British, who had always liked to play balance, did not want the situation in the Pacific to get out of control, so they decisively took the order from the Japanese and produced new warships for the Japanese at full speed.

Japanese players also ordered quite a few warships, which made a windfall for British shipyards, and many shipyards expanded production. Chen Hao did a good job in the Battle of Tsushima, but the economic strength of the Japanese is there, and Japan is willing to use real wealth to subsidize the game, and he has nothing to do. When the Japanese NPCs and the large number of warships purchased by the player are put into service, he will face a serious challenge again, so he has to consider selling some warships to domestic players.

It is impossible for Chen Hao alone to compete with the whole of Japan, and domestic players will not inject a large amount of money when the price of game currency is high, what Chen Hao can do is to sell warships to domestic players. As long as the large shipyards are on the right track, the cost of producing their own warships is greatly reduced, and selling warships to domestic players can not only make some money for the shipyard to continue to develop, but also enhance China's maritime strength as a whole.

Chen Hao is not worried about the safety of Cam Ranh Bay, even if all the warships purchased by Japan are put into service, they will not be much stronger than the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. As a last resort, Chen Hao could learn from the Beiyang Navy Division to shrink the fleet in the harbor and use the large number of fortress guns in Cam Ranh Bay to deal with the Japanese fleet.

The Russians won the Battle of Tsushima, but after the Japanese bought the warships, the Russians would be at a disadvantage. In reality, although Russia has a vast land area, it has been thrown a few streets by the Japanese economically, and it is impossible to spend money at any expense like Japanese players. After the Japanese regained their superiority at sea, the Russo-Japanese War would definitely be Japan's victory in the end, and if Chinese players did not buy a certain number of warships, perhaps Japanese players would push forward the story mission of invading China in advance in order to recover the actual losses.

Fast forward to September 1905, when Japan and Russia signed the Portsmouth Treaty under the coordination of the United States, but this treaty did not happen in the game.

The historical Portsmouth Treaty stipulated that Russia recognized Japan's political, military, and economic "superior interests" in Korea and that it would not hinder or interfere with any Japanese measures against Korea. Russia transferred to the Japanese Government the lease of the territorial waters of Port Arthur, Dalian Bay and its adjacent territories, as well as other related privileges.

Russia transferred to the Japanese government the railway from Changchun (Kuanchengzi) to Lushunkou and all its branches, as well as all its rights, property, and coal mines. In addition, the treaty provided for the permanent cession of the southern part of Sakhalin and all the islands in its vicinity to Japan.

In the game, Russia won the Battle of Tsushima, the Japanese Army was forced to retreat to Korea, and the Russian government continued to increase troops to the northeast. Russia, which has temporarily occupied the advantage, of course, cannot cede its own benefits to Japan, and the Japanese NPC government, after having a large amount of financial support invested by players, is determined to wait until the new warship is put into service to regain sea supremacy, and of course it will not easily make peace with the Russians.
