Long Fei was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, and let the two prefects obey Chen Baxian's orders, so what was the point of him letting the two of them take refuge? The acceptance of the two prefects is mainly for Ying Yu to have a place in Guangxi, and the two prefects have listened to Chen Baxian's orders, how can Ying Yu still have a foothold in Guangxi.

Long Fei was too lazy to care about Ying Yu's life or death, but he didn't want Chen Ba to dominate Guangxi first, so he would be at an absolute disadvantage in the competition. Chen Baxian has already taken root in Guizhou, and it seems that no one in Guizhou can compete with him, and if he lets him control Guangxi in his hands, Longfei's nest Yunnan will be dangerous in the next step.

Although Long Fei was afraid that Guangxu would be jealous of him, he had to raise an objection at this moment, he muttered: "Your Majesty, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, although Lord Chen is loyal now, I think it is better for Your Majesty to personally accept the two prefects." The two prefects are loyal to His Majesty, and if there is an accident in Guangxi, they can also do their best. ”

Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in the deep palace for many years, and he formed a suspicious character, and this time Long Fei's words hit his heart. He put on an attitude of trusting Chen Baxian very much, because Chen Baxian has a strong strength in his hands, and he has a lot to rely on. In fact, he was also very worried in his heart, for fear that one day when he was at a disadvantage, Chen Ba would betray him first, Zhen'an Mansion and Sicheng Mansion were close to Yunnan, and it was indeed necessary to completely control them.

In the end, the Guangxu Emperor withdrew the order to let the two prefects secretly obey Chen Baxian's orders, and after Yingyu had done a lot of work, they all telegraphed together to declare their allegiance to Guangxu. The imperial court was furious and ordered Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and exterminate the two rebels against the nine clans.

Lord Chen was very embarrassed, the two prefects were loyal to Guangxu, and he would definitely have a showdown with Guangxu when he sent troops to suppress him. He worked hard for so long just to not offend both sides, and he didn't want to offend Guangxu to please the court, but he couldn't ignore the orders of the court. Just when he was greatly entangled. Li Hong, the prefect of Nanning Prefecture, and Zhang Hongda, the prefect of Taiping Prefecture, telegraphed at the same time to pledge allegiance to Guangxu, and the situation in Guangxi suddenly became turbulent.

Chen Hao, who was originally hesitant, couldn't help but laugh heartily when he learned that two more governments had announced their allegiance to Guangxu. He never thought of dominating the whole of Guangxi completely, because it was too unrealistic, and Guangxi was mixed with too many forces. Huo Quzhi has long been laid out in Guangxi. Ying Yu transferred from Guangdong to Guangxi, and Long Fei and Xuanyuan Jian, who were close to Guangxi, were also eyeing each other, and if he succeeded in mastering the entire Guangxi, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Chen Hao's strength in his hands is not weak now, but he definitely does not have the strength to face the attacks of four companies at the same time, and the gain of occupying Guangxi outweighs the loss. He set his early goal in Guizhou, and after accumulating strength in Guizhou, he moved to Guangxi, so at present, he only needs to firmly control Guilin, Liuzhou and Qingyuan, which are adjacent to Guizhou.

When the Zhen'an Mansion and the Sicheng Mansion declared their allegiance to Guangxu, he was very embarrassed, because he could not crusade against him, but also had to give an account to the imperial court. However, after the two prefectures controlled by Huo Quzhi announced that they would break away from the jurisdiction of Guangxi. On the contrary, he was not in a hurry, because he had an excuse to deal with the imperial court. So he gave an excerpt to the imperial court, saying that the political situation in Guangxi was rotten, and there were some rebellious ministers and thieves who were loyal to Guangxu, and some revolutionaries who were ready to move.

Lord Chen also proposed to the imperial court a strategy to pacify Guangxi, first stabilize the vacillating prefectures, and make every effort to exterminate the revolutionary party and bandits. Wait until the other provinces stabilize and the army of the Breakers has formed a fighting force. Then wave the army to the west to take the betrayed four mansions for the imperial court, and if it goes well, directly wave the army to Yunnan......

The regent Zaifeng looked at Lord Chen's excerpt and exclaimed: "When Lafayette was alive, he called Chen Baxian the pillar of the country. At that time, the king was quite unimpressed, but now it seems that he really lives up to his name. Although this person is young, he has become a country with a strategy, and he is relieved to have him in charge of the southwest. ”

Emperor Guangxu was relieved that Lord Chen was sitting in Guangxi, and the regent Zaifeng was also assured that Lord Chen was sitting in the southwest, so his position as governor of Guangxi became more and more stable. After the four western provinces were out of jurisdiction. He did not send troops to suppress it, but secretly strengthened his control over the other provinces, and took the opportunity to arrange his henchmen in patrol battalions in various places.

Chen Hao spent a year consolidating his base areas in Guangxi and Guizhou, and by the end of 1909, the three prefectures near Guizhou had completely become his territory. The prefect of Sanfu was taken by him for various reasons. Instead of a henchman loyal to him, he established a base in each of the three provinces, each with three battalions of the Breakers.

The Broken Capture Army was commanded by Jiang Baili, with nine battalions under its command, and was commanded and trained by outstanding officers selected from various places. Although this unit has not been formed for a long time, because the middle and low-level officers are elite, the combat effectiveness has improved very quickly. After purchasing mortars, heavy machine guns, mountain artillery and other weapons produced by the Guizhou Arsenal, the average combat effectiveness reached 1.4.

Each division under Chen Hao's command was more than 10,000 people, and only the number of the Broken Army was smaller, because the Broken Army was the army of the imperial court. Jiang Baili, the commander of the Broken Army, is still loyal to the imperial court, not Chen Hao personally. Although Chen Hao used many means to try to make Jiang Baili loyal to him, and achieved certain results, he was still a little bit hot.

Guizhou has established facilities such as a steel-making plant, a gunpowder factory, and an arsenal in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and at the same time built four hydropower stations, thus forming a complete industrial base. Now Chen Hao's focus is on China, and now even if Cam Ranh Bay does not provide equipment, domestic factories can be self-sufficient.

Cam Ranh Bay is still the base camp of the navy, and the arms produced are mainly used for foreign sales, and the profits obtained are used for the development of domestic base areas. The Thanh Hoa steel mill in Vietnam has once again expanded its scale, with an annual steel output of 200,000 tons, almost three times the output of the Hanyang Iron Works during the same period.

Four battleships of the Russians have already been launched for sea trials and will soon be delivered, allowing the shipyard to make a lot of profits. But the biggest harvest is still the player's order, with Qian Duoduo and others taking the lead, a large number of domestic billionaires injected funds into the game to order warships. Owning a collection of warships in the War game has gradually become a fashion, bringing profits to the Cam Ranh Bay shipyard, while the number of warships in the hands of Chinese players continues to rise, and the gap between them and Japanese players is getting smaller and smaller.

Even if Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, Whampoa Shipyard, and Mawei Shipyard were fully producing, they still could not meet the needs of players, and the production orders had been scheduled until 1911. Despite this, Chen Hao did not patronize and make money, and he used the profits to start building super dreadnoughts, along with four new battle cruisers.

Xu Jianyin and Wang Donglai worked hard for almost two years, and finally mastered the battleship technology obtained from the Russians, combined with the Invincible-class battlecruiser technology obtained from the British, and designed the super dreadnought that originally began to appear in 1912. The new warships use 10 385 mm main guns, 12 156 mm secondary guns and 4 76 mm guns, surpassing the firepower of the dreadnoughts being built by various countries.

Historically, Britain began to build Elizabeth-class battleships with a main gun caliber of 385 mm and a full load displacement of 33020 tons only in 1912. In the game, because Chen Hao got the technology of Britain, Germany, Russia, and Italy, this kind of super battleship appeared in advance. This class of battleships was named the Huaxia class, and the first phase planned to build two ships, the first one named the Huaxia and the second one named the Zhonghua.

The battleships commissioned by the Russians to be built at the Cam Ranh Shipyard used the design ideas of the Italians, which allowed Cam Ranh Bay to pick up a bargain and greatly improved the hull design. After Wang Donglai cooperated with Xu Jianyin to design and complete the super dreadnought, he soon received a system prompt that his shipbuilding skills had reached the full value of the Grandmaster, and he was only one step away from the Grand Grandmaster.

The cost of the two super-dreadnoughts reached 2.4 million pounds, and the warship performance reached the level of the British Elizabeth-class super battleships. Due to Britain's well-established industrial base, they only needed about £2 million to build battleships of the same class, and the Cam Ranh Bay shipyard cost an extra £400,000.

If Russia or France were to build such a battleship, even if it technically met the requirements, it would cost more than 2.8 million pounds. Therefore, if Chen Hao is willing to sell this latest battleship, there is no problem in selling it for 3 million pounds, and he can still make a profit of hundreds of thousands of pounds in the middle.

Today, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet has one dreadnought and six Invincible-class battlecruisers, and two more dreadnoughts will soon be launched. By the time the two super dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers of the same period were launched, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet would have two super dreadnoughts, three dreadnoughts, and ten Invincible-class battlecruisers, as well as large and small cruisers and destroyers.

In addition to making a breakthrough in the design of battleships, the Cam Ranh Bay shipyard also advanced by leaps and bounds in cruiser and destroyer technology. The new destroyers produced were completely self-designed, and the four Invincible-class battlecruisers built later were also improved, and the number of small warships reached thirty-six.

After the super dreadnought is commissioned, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet will be second only to Britain, Germany, the United States, France, and Japan, and surpass Russia to rank sixth in the world. Of course, this is under the premise that countries will not build new ships for two years, and after the increase in the number of warships built by players, the size of the NPC national fleet is much larger than in history.

Japan's tonnage of warships once again surpassed that of Russia, which is inseparable from the large amount of money invested by Japanese players. The more warships Japanese players buy, the more warships the Japanese government has, and now surpasses Russia in terms of number and quality. If it weren't for the alliance of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet with Russia so that the Japanese would not dare to act rashly, the Russian Pacific Navy would have been finished long ago.

After the launch of the four Dreadnought-class battleships commissioned by Russia for the construction of Cam Ranh Bay, the Russians announced for the first time that these four battleships had joined the Pacific Fleet. Together with the four previous Invincible-class battlecruisers, the strength of the Russian Pacific Fleet far exceeded that of the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet in Europe.
