Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 57
In this way, two years passed by in a hurry, and Yang Xin has been developing and accumulating strength in secret.

If you don't erupt in silence, you die in silence. Obviously, Yang Xin is preparing to erupt in silence.

At this moment, Kaiser Wilhelm II suddenly sent a congratulatory message to Yang Xin. The warships purchased by Yang Xin had been built and all launched. Of course, Chinese laborers contributed a lot to this. At the same time, the Chinese students of the Naval Academy also went smoothly. After graduation, you can serve on the ship.

Yang Xin let out a long sigh of relief after receiving the telegram.Immediately replied to Kaiser Wilhelm II, thanked him, and proposed to immediately form the German-Chinese combined fleet.Kaiser Wilhelm II had this intention and immediately set about forming the German-Chinese combined fleet.

Yang Xin did not order the warship to return to the country immediately, but called Liang Kuan, and asked Liang Kuan to lead the graduates to serve in the German Navy, learn the knowledge and skills of the navy in practice, and return to China after the fleet has formed combat effectiveness. Yang Xin set the internship time as two years.

At the same time, Yang Xin called Sun Wen, who was far away in America, and Huang Feihong and Aunt Shisan, who were far away in Britain, and asked them to send the graduates to serve on the warships of their respective countries.After two years, they will go to Germany to meet up. At that time, after running in, they will return with a battleship.

Another two years have passed. After two years of service and combined study, training, and actual combat, the fleet has finally formed an effective combat capability. Sun Wen, Huang Feihong, and Thirteenth Aunt will take care of each other. After the trainees went to Germany to rendezvous, Yang Xin immediately ordered the fleet to return.

Germany also sent warships of the same number and level as Yang Xin's fleet, and formed a German-Chinese joint fleet with the Chinese fleet, sailing to China in the Far East.

At this time, Yang Xin has already built two military ports, each of which can accommodate the combined German and Chinese fleet. At the same time, Yang Xin expanded the army to two group armies. Li Hanzhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is also only superficially in power. In fact, he can't move a single soldier in Guangdong and Guangxi, even the yamen servants, because all these people have been replaced by Yang Xin.

Yang Xin's first order to the German-Chinese United Fleet was to secretly drive the fleet from Germany to China without revealing it.

This is an order to test the true strength of the fleet and the quality of the crew. Sending the fleet from Germany back to China is something that an established ocean-going fleet can do, but it is very difficult not to be exposed to the sight of the powers of various countries, because it means The fleet cannot resupply in large ports, because once resupplied, it will inevitably be exposed.

As the tactical commander of the German-Chinese combined fleet, Prince Heinrich did not refute Yang Xin's order or make other demands. Instead, he faithfully carried out Yang Xin's order without saying a word. This also reflects the German Excellent obedience from the navy down to the officers.

Kaiser Wilhelm II also wanted to witness whether the German navy had the strength to bring the combined German-Chinese fleet back to the Far East from Germany, and he showed great concern.

In this way, under the close attention of Yang Xin and Kaiser Wilhelm II, under the command of Prince Heinrich, the German-Chinese joint fleet overcame various difficulties, and with great perseverance and superb combat quality, evaded the powers of various countries. Sight, it took five months to secretly drive the joint fleet to Yulingang, the capital of Qiongzhou.

Yulingang Harbor is a natural harbor with deep water and calm waves, surrounded by mountains. To the east of Yulingang, the coast is winding and there are many harbors. There are Hutou Ridge, Qiongnan Ridge, Chiling, Nanwan Ridge and other points that protrude from the sea, embracing Yalong Bay. In Tuqu Bay and Lingshui Bay, you can order noodles.To the west of Yulingang, the coast is flat, with points such as Luhuitou, Maling, and Nanshan Ridge protruding out of the sea, forming sea barriers with the east and west Maozhou Islands.

The reason for choosing Yulingang is because Yulingang is relatively hidden, and the whole Qiongzhou Prefecture is relatively remote and desolate. The most important thing is that the square garden of Yulingang has fallen into the hands of Yang Xin, so Yang Xin chose Yulingang. .

Yang Xin held a grand welcome party for the returning naval students. In order to welcome them, Yang Xin even secretly recruited Jiugong Zhenren from Annan and Nalan Yuanshu from Guangzhou.

Yang Xin clearly saw Nalan Yuanshu's pupils shrinking when he saw the huge figure of the Dreadnought-class battleship. Nalan Yuanshu thought that the Ding and Zhen ships of the Beiyang Navy were already giants on the sea, but he didn't expect Compared with the Dreadnought-class battleships, they are simply child's play, and there are eight Dreadnought-class battleships alone, plus Germany's eight Dreadnought-class battleships and other battleships. Nalan Yuanshu was not intimidated by this group of battleships that covered the sky. By lying down, he already has a very strong psychological quality.

At this moment, Nalan Yuanshu's confidence in Yang Xin reached its peak. What Beiyang Navy, Huai Army, Chu Army, etc., were all left behind by Nalan Yuanshu. Only then did I really understand what Yang Xin once said: justice and axioms are only within the range of cannons.

Seeing each other again after four years, Sun Wen, Liang Kuan, Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt have matured a lot. The four of them are not idle even when they are far overseas. After embarking on the warship service, Sun Wen, Liang Kuan, Huang Feihong, and Thirteenth Aunt are already qualified commanders of warships. It may be immature to be the commander-in-chief of the fleet, but it is easy to become the captain of a ship.

The only thing they lack is large-scale actual combat. The actual combat when the warship is in service is just a small fight to destroy pirates, not a real battle.

Next, what will meet them will be a real sea battle!
Yang Xin has been paying attention to the trend of the Wa Kingdom. When the Yoshino was transported back to its homeland by the Wa Kingdom from Britain, Yang Xin knew that the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, which changed the fate of the Wa Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty, was coming soon.

At this time, Yang Xin focused his attention on the area between Goryeo and the Yellow Sea of ​​the Qing Dynasty. The Dongxue Party uprising had already broken out in Goryeo. Fifteen days ago, the Qing Empire had just dispatched Ye Zhichao, the admiral of Zhili, and Nie Shicheng, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town, to lead Huaihe. 2000 troops landed in Asan, North Korea.

Five days ago, Japan also sent troops to land in Incheon, and the war was imminent.

Yang Xin knew that the Gaosheng incident was about to happen, and the occurrence of the Gaosheng incident slowly opened the prelude to the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, and the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War was about to break out.

Yang Xin asked the soldiers of the German-Chinese Combined Fleet to rest for a week, then use one week to do some recovery training, and then spend two weeks to prepare ammunition and supplies for the German-Chinese Combined Fleet.

At this time, it was already August 21, [-], and less than a month had passed since the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of the Sino-Japanese War took place in my memory. Yang Xin immediately boarded the battleship and led the battleship to Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea.
