Chapter 529: Returning to China

Japanese players have a large number of warships, but it is impossible to gather them under special conditions, unless a high-level Japanese NPC issues a rewarding naval combat mission. There is only one NPC in each country that can call on players from all over the country to participate in the exhibition, and it is because of this that Chen Hao did not suffer a loss when he fought against Japanese players.

Huaxia has the largest population in the world, and if all the land players in Huaxia are united, no country can compete with it. These are only theoretical, and the system will prevent such a situation from appearing in various aspects, such as the problem of tens of millions of people participating in the war, such as the problem of command, logistics, and transportation.

Although it is impossible for the Japanese to gather more than 3,000 warships at once, even if they are gradually consumed, Chen Hao cannot afford to consume them alone after a long time. For example, he won the battle against a Japanese player, and the Japanese player lost two warships, and he only lost one. This should be regarded as a big victory, but the strength of Chen Hao's Cam Ranh Bay fleet has weakened, and the overall strength of the players on the Japanese side has not decreased much, and it will be even more difficult for Chen Hao to win next time.

Chen Hao is the most showy player in the game, and he is a thorn in the side of Japanese players, so a large number of Japanese players want to get rid of him. He had long understood that it was necessary to let the vast number of players in Huaxia have warships in their hands to enhance the overall strength of Huaxia. Relying on his scenery alone, attracting the hatred of Japanese players, his Cam Ranh Bay fleet will be finished sooner or later.

Chen Hao was extremely excited to receive a large number of player orders this time, although he didn't make much money after the discount on each warship, but the accumulated profits could also build an invincible-class battle cruiser. This is a good start, with Qian Duoduo's example, there will be more players who order large warships in the future, and the orders for the three shipyards he has in his hands will be endless.

As for the production capacity, Chen Hao doesn't have to worry, the vast majority of the players ordered this time are destroyers, which can be built as long as they are small docks. The drawings of large docks of more than 10,000 tons in the game are very valuable. However, small dock drawings can be purchased in the in-game trading store, and it is no problem to buy small dock drawings to build dozens of new docks.

The shipyard must be further expanded, which means that more skilled workers are needed, and these can be solved gradually. Chen Hao's early efforts came into play at this time, as he obtained a large number of technicians from Russia and recruited tens of thousands of skilled workers at the Mawei Shipyard, Huangpu Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard. There is no shortage of personnel for the time being.

Chen Hao will immediately ask Yang Du to use his eyesight to select a group of technicians and workers with good shipbuilding attributes, and then set up a technical school in Cam Ranh Bay. After a few young people are called for simple training, they are allowed to work as workers in the shipyards, and by the time there are not enough workers in the shipyards, the young people should almost become proficient.

The smile on Xu Jianyin, the general office of Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, became brighter and brighter, and when he came to take up the post of general office, he never imagined that the shipyard could reach such a scale. This time, he received a large number of orders for warships, and the shipyard could continue to start production, and he could also calm down and study shipbuilding technology with Ziying Donglai and design more new warships.

The construction of a large-scale steel mill in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam, has been completed. Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard no longer relies on imports for steel products, which can further reduce shipbuilding costs. Shipyards have already paid a high price for new German armor technology, and Silva has planned a big case in Germany, stealing Krupp's large-caliber artillery technology and selling it to Cam Ranh Bay, which has now reached the first-class level in shipbuilding.

Silvaken worked so hard because of profits, and after cooperating with Chen Hao, he made a lot of money, and a large number of arms were sold to China, North Korea, Vietnam and other places. Still, Silva opened his mouth when it came to selling large-caliber naval gun technology. I asked Chen Hao for a whole million pounds.

Large-caliber artillery technology is Krupp's core technology, and Silva has repeatedly negotiated a failed purchase. It took half a year to get the technical information. According to him, in order to steal the technology, he had almost all the men he had arranged on the German side, including two colonel-level officers who had entered the German General Staff and one henchman who had entered the upper echelons of the Krupp Arsenal.

Silva has a good reason, Krupp's large-caliber artillery technology is world-class, with this technology, Cam Ranh Bay can not only produce naval guns for warships, but also mountain guns, fortress guns and howitzers. Although Silva offers a high price. But Chen Hao had to admit that the technology was worth the price, and spent a million pounds to buy the technology.

Krupp's technology was not only given to the shipyard for study, but also copied and handed over to the arsenal to facilitate the arsenal's development of land artillery. After the replacement of a batch of machines, the Cam Ranh Arsenal 120-mm mortars were already able to be mass-produced. After the three NPC divisions under his command and the player's troops are equipped, Chen Hao will start to think about selling mortars.

Chen Hao arranged the players who went to Dongsha to participate in the war in the barracks this time, so that they could communicate with the players in Cam Ranh Bay, and then he found Yang Du. He asked Yang Du to arrange for the expansion of the Thanh Hoa steel mill and asked him to organize the construction of more docks in preparation for the next expansion.

After Chen Hao arranged the affairs of Cam Ranh Bay, he led the warship donated to the sailor to return to China, accompanied by some players who participated in the battle on fishing boats. Among the more than 2,000 people, most of them have the idea of joining Cam Ranh Bay, but many are ready to go back and pack up first.

The naval battle of Dongsha Island had a huge impact, and the heads of Japan's four main warships and four destroyers caused an international uproar. The Japanese called this battle a shame unseen in a century, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers who surrendered were spurned by the Chinese people, and the Navy Osa Yamaguchi Ryuji, who ordered the surrender, was even sent to a military court.

Tsar Alexander II, having learned of the results of this naval battle, made an impassioned speech, saying that Japan, no matter how many warships it bought, was no match for the Russian Empire. At the same time, the tsar praised the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet, saying that the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet was Russia's most loyal friend and would strengthen cooperation with Cam Ranh Bay in the future.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi learned that Chen Baxian had defeated the Russian fleet again, Lafayette, who was already sick and lying on the ship, seemed to feel much better, and summoned a group of ministers to discuss whether to declare war on Japan. Yuan Shikai and others analyzed Japan's national strength and believed that although Chen Baxian won the naval battle, it was because he had the help of the Russians, and if the war officially began, the Qing Dynasty would still not be able to defeat the Japanese.

Cixi had the idea of going to war because after the defeat of the Japanese navy, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic note with strong wording to the Qing court. The Japanese claimed that the Qing Dynasty's undeclared war was a provocation against the Japanese Empire, which would teach the Qing court a painful lesson. Cixi felt that Little Japan was still so arrogant after losing the war, and wanted to clean it up, but after listening to the advice, her thoughts quickly disappeared. (To be continued......)
