Kulopatkin is well aware of the situation he faces, and he can't wait to get a record and clear his shame with a victory over the Japanese. It's just that the Japanese have already withdrawn their main forces to Korea, and in order to fight the Japanese, it is necessary to cross the Yalu River, and the indecisive Kurupatkin lacks such courage.

Kulopatkin wanted to be successful in battle, but he was afraid of losing again, and his personality determined that he was not a good commander. While he was wavering, the adjutant reported to him that Chen Ba, the commander-in-chief of Cam Ranh Bay, had come to pay a visit earlier, and that Kulopatkin had met with Chen Hao because of the need to rely on the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to block the Japanese sea traffic.

"Commander Chen, your fleet has helped our country a lot, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my country." Kulopatkin is very personable and authentic.

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "I am an ally with your country, and I should help, congratulations to Your Excellency the Commander for winning the battle and driving the Japanese Army to the Korean Peninsula." ”

Kulopatkin shook his head and said: "The Japanese only retreated temporarily, and their main forces did not have any losses, let alone winning the battle. ”

Chen Hao sighed and said: "I came this time because I heard the news that it is said that Japan has purchased new warships from Britain again, and I am afraid that it wants to regain maritime supremacy." If the Japanese reorganized their fleet, and the Japanese Army on the Korean Peninsula continued to attack northward after being resupplied, it would be difficult for His Excellency the Commander to deal with it. ”

Kulopatkin also got the news that Japan had ordered warships, which was the reason why he attached importance to Chen Hao's arrival, and after listening to Chen Hao's words, he nodded in agreement and said: "My country must defeat the Japanese army before the Japanese fleet forms a combat strength, otherwise our country will lose its advantage in the Far East, but now I have no good way to do it if my troops are insufficient." ”

Chen Hao said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, Commander, Japan is our common enemy. I also don't want the day when the Japanese will counterattack Tohoku. This time, I have come to make a suggestion to His Excellency the Commander, that the Japanese have no superiority at sea, and that most of their main forces are concentrated in the northern part of Korea, and that if a landing operation is launched in the southern part of Korea, it will certainly deal a fatal blow to the Japanese. ”

Kulopatkin shook his head and said: "This method is very good, but our troops are insufficient, and if we divide our troops to land and attack in the south of Korea, it will be insufficient." Moreover, the Japanese had a large number of spies in Manchuria. If the army is allowed to board ships in the port, the Japanese will certainly strengthen their defenses after receiving the news, and it will be difficult to complete the landing operation. ”

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency Commander is very reasonable, your country will have great difficulties when it lands, but if I send troops to launch a landing operation, I should be able to surprise it, right?" ”

Kulopatkin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of ecstasy: "Thank you very much, Commander Chen, if you can launch a landing operation and attack from the south, the Japanese will definitely panic." At that time, I ordered our army in the Far East to cross the Yalu River, and it was inevitable that the Japanese troops would be completely annihilated under attack from both sides. ”

Chen Hao spread his hands and said, "Your Excellency Commander." Attacking from the south would be very risky, and I could incur huge losses. And even if I succeed in landing, I have to fight alone in the south, which will consume a lot of ......."

Kulopatkin had already imagined that after Chen Hao led his troops to land in the south, he beat the Japanese from the north, and after listening to Chen Hao's words, he immediately said: "Commander Chen, you can tell me about your conditions, and I will try my best to persuade the tsar to meet your requirements." ”

Chen Hao smiled after expressing his gratitude: "I built a shipyard in Cam Ranh Bay. Thank you for supporting 200 shipbuilding technicians. In response to the new ships ordered by the Japanese, I was ready to expand the size of the shipyard. So I need more technicians and dockyards, and I hope that your country can provide me with the drawings for the construction of the dockyard and send more technicians so that I can expand the shipyard. ”

Kulopatkin quickly reported to the tsar by telegram that, as Yang Du had expected, the Russians had no reason to refuse. Chen Hao's Korean landing operation could provide direct help to the Russians. Annihilate the Japanese army in Korea before the Japanese fleet forms combat strength.

The Japanese ordered warships to stimulate the Russians, and they were also afraid that the Japanese would lose their advantage after the formation of the new fleet of combat effectiveness, and Chen Hao, an ally, expanded the size of the shipyard and increased the number of warships they were willing to see. Chen Hao took advantage of this opportunity to ask for a task reward again, and he still chose the shipbuilding technician and the dockyard drawings as rewards.

Of course, Chen Hao can make other demands, such as asking Tsarist Russia to return part of the territory in the northeast or northwest. But this is clearly unrealistic. Since ancient times, the territory of Tsarist Russia has had great ambitions, expanding from a small principality to the largest country in terms of land area, and it is too difficult for them to return the land they have swallowed.

Chen Hao could also ask for the technology to make artillery or guns, but he already had the original drawings of the Mosingana rifle, and he didn't like the artillery technology of the Russians, so he simply gave up this option. After considering all the factors, he felt that it was most cost-effective to still have shipbuilders and shipyards.

The Russians hoped that Chen Hao's fleet would play a role in restraining the Japanese fleet, and this request was the easiest for the Russians to agree to, taking advantage of the number of technicians and dockyards. Expanding the size of the shipyard and building more new docks is not a great joy for Chen Hao, he has carefully considered that the shipyard may be an opportunity for him to develop sustainably in the game.

Chen Hao obtained the treasure of Captain Ginter, and now there are tens of millions of pounds left in the funds that can be used, which has exceeded the financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty in a year. If we want to build a fleet that can suppress Japan and continue to buy warships from Britain, not to mention whether Britain is willing to sell them, it will not be long before the navy, a big spender, will be able to spend tens of millions of pounds.

Chen Hao didn't want to sit on the throne, he felt that building warships was a good way to continuously improve the strength of the fleet and make money. The proportion of game currency exchanged for real currency will gradually decrease, and the increase in the exchange ratio caused by the Japanese frantically buying game currency is only temporary, so Chen Hao himself has also exchanged some of the game currency into real currency. In another half year or so, when the game currency exchange ratio drops, there will be more players who want to develop the navy, and with the huge population base of Huaxia, the warship will definitely not worry about sales.

Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard has to meet its own needs to build its own warships, but also rely on shipbuilding to make money, four large docks are far from enough. The most advanced warship that Cam Ranh Bay can produce now is the Invincible-class battle cruiser, and he will not sell this new warship for the time being, but will only produce it to supplement the Cam Ranh Bay fleet.

The Cam Ranh Bay shipyard also needed to strengthen smaller dockyards for the production of ordinary cruisers and destroyers, which would become the main commodities that would make money. Chen Hao has the destroyer construction drawings, and after having more technicians and dockyards, he can ask Silva to help get an original drawing of the cruiser construction, and he can start producing warships profitably.

With tens of millions of pounds as a cost, a vast player market in Huaxia, and the production capacity of advanced warships, Chen Hao felt that it was unreasonable to make money or not. The cost of sending the army and navy to fight the Russians this time could not be lower than that of the Tsushima Sea, and if more than 200 technicians and more than four dockyards were added, it should be enough.

Kuropatkin approached Chen Hao with a smile on his face and said, "Commander Chen, Your Majesty of our country has asked me to express my heartfelt thanks to you on his behalf, and Your Majesty has agreed to your request." If you can send troops to Inchon to contain some of the Japanese forces, we will send 300 shipbuilding technicians to Cam Ranh Bay again, and provide you with five A-class dock construction drawings. ”

Chen Hao achieved his goal, and his mood was extremely happy, Yang Du's method was too effective. He thought about it for a moment and then muttered, "Your Excellency, I feel the sincerity of your country, but can you please change the dock drawings?" I need one S-class dock construction drawing, six B-class dock construction drawings, and ten C-class dock construction drawings. ”

The A-class dock can already be used as a platform for building battleships, but it is not enough for the new dreadnoughts and later super-dreadnoughts and aircraft carriers. This kind of super-large ship must be an S-class dock, although Chen Hao does not have the construction drawings of the dreadnought yet, he is ready to build a dock first.

Chen Hao is now involved in Russia's national mission, so it is so easy to obtain the drawings, and it will be difficult to get the drawings in the future if he doesn't need an S-class dock blueprint now. The A-class dock could produce ordinary battleships and battlecruisers, and four were enough, and there was no need to add more, so he asked for B-class drawings and C-class drawings instead.

Chen Hao's request is not too much at all, and the dock drawings are not worth much to the NPCs, because the technical content of building the dock is not too high. In the game, two A-class dock drawings are equivalent to one S-class drawing, assuming that the S-class drawings are exchanged for two A-class drawings, the remaining three A-class drawings are exchanged for six B-class drawings and ten C-class drawings, and the value is also comparable.

After thinking for a while, Kulopatkin directly agreed to Chen Hao's conditions on behalf of Russia, and Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Far East Army, Kulopatkin, issued you the task 'landing in Korea', and the task completion conditions: lead the troops to land in the south of Korea, disrupt the rear of the Japanese, and at the same time contain part of the Japanese forces." Rewards: 300 shipbuilding technicians, one S-class dock construction drawing, six B-class dock construction drawings, and ten C-class dock construction drawings. Do you want to accept it? ”

Chen Hao chose to accept the task, and Kulopatkin smiled, but he couldn't help but be a little curious about the Huaxia people in front of him. In front of him, the Chinese people asked for so many dock construction drawings, and it would cost millions of pounds just to build so many docks, and if these docks started to build warships at the same time, the initial investment would need tens of millions of pounds, did he have so much money?
