Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese have always had a sense of superiority over the Celestial Empire. Even after suffering disastrous defeats in previous foreign wars and realizing the gap with the great powers, this sense of superiority has only faded.  When dealing with foreign powers, many Chinese people became slaves and groveled.  But when it comes to other countries in the Far East, this sense of superiority of the Celestial Kingdom has been restored.  In today's China, most people don't take the Eastern island countries seriously at all. It was not until two years later that the Beiyang Fleet was defeated and the Manchu Army suffered a disastrous defeat. Only then did the Chinese people recognize the reality.  The Eastern island country, which they originally looked down upon, has left them far behind.

    Wang Yuze absolutely does not want this view to prevail within Western Sichuan, especially the navy.  Japan is surrounded by sea, so if they want to develop, they must have a strong navy. This is why Japan has always attached great importance to naval construction.  Similarly, if Western Sichuan wants to curb Japan's ambitions, it must defeat their navy. Only in this way can Japan's path from the ocean to the mainland be cut off.

    "Everyone, Japan may not be as good as us now. However, the Japanese are a very paranoid nation. They are persevering and will not give up until they achieve their goals. Even though they are not as good as the Beiyang Fleet now, I believe that in Japan, the whole nation will be better.  With the construction of their own strength, their navy will eventually shorten the gap with the Beiyang Fleet. When the time comes, if there is a war between the Japanese Navy and the Beiyang Fleet, I am not optimistic about the Beiyang Fleet. The Beiyang Fleet will definitely lose. And what is the Manchu Army?  Everyone is more aware of morality. If there is a war between Japan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely fail. The Manchu Qing Dynasty will inevitably cede territory and pay compensation. This is absolutely not allowed in western Sichuan. Because now all the Manchu Qing Dynasties  Everything was taken from our ancestors two hundred years ago, and it belongs to us. Outsiders must not be allowed to stand. Therefore, if the Manchus are defeated, we must defeat Japan and overthrow the Manchus.  At the same time, ensure that our interests are not harmed!" Wang Yuze said seriously.

    Zhang Cheng and other naval officials, although some could not believe that Japan, an island country in the East, dared to start a war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this was just licking the tiger's butt!  Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a sick tiger, it is not something that small Japan can deal with!  However, Wang Yuze attached so much importance to this matter that they had to treat it carefully.  Regardless of whether you agree with Wang Yuze's point of view, there is nothing wrong with seizing the time to train the navy so that it has the strength to defeat Japan.  Of course, in everyone's opinion, this goal is not difficult to achieve.  After the fleet in Western Sichuan returns to China, it will have four 10,000-ton warships. These will be the most powerful warships in the entire Far East and even the world.  Just relying on these battleships is enough to crush the small Japanese navy.  However, the prerequisite is that the strength of these powerful battleships can be fully utilized.

    "Don't worry, Young Marshal. If Little Japan really dares to come, we guarantee that they will never come back!" Zhang Cheng and others assured Wang Yuze.

    Wang Yuze knows that everyone has always looked down upon Japan. Even if he pointed it out emphatically, it would still be very difficult for everyone to take it seriously.  He has no choice. Perhaps, only when the Japanese really show their ferocious claws, will everyone recognize the reality!  However, by then, the Western Sichuan Navy hopes to have the naval strength to defeat Little Japan.

    "Everything I said today, I hope everyone will keep it confidential. This will be the focus of our next stage in Western Sichuan. If it is leaked, it will be very detrimental to our future development!" Wang Yuze said solemnly.

    "Yes, we promise to keep this secret!" Several officials from the Navy Department assured.  Everyone was very excited to learn that Western Sichuan would overthrow the Qing Dynasty and unify China in two years.  The Manchus have been causing harm to China for so many years, and they should have been overthrown long ago.  However, they still had some doubts about Japan's war against the Manchus two years later.  However, this does not affect the overall situation.  Even if Japan did not go to war with the Manchus two years later, the strength of Western Sichuan would be enough to easily overthrow the Manchus.

    "In addition, I need to remind you that our military ports, shipyards and ship design centers all need to strictly protect their lives. We have arranged for people from the Military Intelligence Bureau to be stationed to maximize the counter-intelligence arrangements at the military ports and shipyards. In addition,  , the navy's own garrison must also be established quickly, initially determined to be four regiments. One regiment in Zhanjiang, two regiments in Beihai. One regiment in Fangchenggang and Qinzhou!" Wang Yuze said.  Little Japan's learning ability is quite abnormal.  Their ability to steal other countries¡¯ advanced technologies is equally daunting.  Therefore, Western Sichuan must take precautions in this regard.  Even though Western Sichuan is now far behind Japan in shipbuilding technology and design.  However, with the high-intensity investment in Western Sichuan, surpassing Japan is just around the corner.  When the time comes, we will have to guard against Japan using shameless tactics.  The Military Intelligence Bureau in western Sichuan has become the most comprehensive and complete intelligence agency in western Sichuan. Over the years, it has established a good foundation for western Sichuan.??Ma credit.  With the assistance of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the navy's own capabilities, there should be no problem.

    "Don't worry, Marshal, we will pay more attention to this aspect!" Zhang Cheng nodded.  The Navy Department currently does not have a dedicated person responsible for this aspect. In fact, the Navy Department is also in its infancy, and a large number of institutions and personnel are not yet in place.  These require them to be sound and perfect within one or two years.

    "In addition, the Marine Corps can also start recruiting. Priority can be given to recruiting from soldiers in western Sichuan. In two years, combat effectiveness must be formed!" Wang Yuze did not forget this and reminded him specifically.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Zhang Cheng agreed.  After seeing Wang Yuze stay together for two years, this made them nervous.  Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. If Western Sichuan really needs the navy to dispatch by then, but the navy has not formed combat effectiveness, then they will have nothing to say.  Therefore, everyone secretly made up their mind to work harder in the coming period to ensure that the chain will not fall off after two years.

    In the next few days, Wang Yuze inspected the construction of Zhanjiang Port, Fangcheng Port and Qinzhou Port.  Compared with Beihai Port, the construction progress of several other ports is much later.  In particular, Zhanjiang Port, as a military port, can almost meet the current needs of the Western Sichuan Navy after Beihai Port is put into use.  Therefore, the Admiralty gave priority to ensuring the construction of the North Sea Port.  After other ports are completed, Zhanjiang Port will be built.  Fangcheng Port and Qinzhou Port were built as civilian ports.  The American West China Group will invest a large amount of funds and equipment to focus on the development of these two ports.  Wang Yuze doesn't need to worry about this.

    After wandering around these ports, Wang Yuze felt much better.  He was very excited to see that the navy in western Sichuan had grown from scratch and was growing vigorously.  With a strong army, there will be a strong navy, and with the advancement of technology, a strong air force will be established.  Only such a China can join the ranks of the great powers and compete with them for control of the world.  However, the most important things before Western Sichuan are, first, unification, and second, the elimination of Japan's ambitions.  This will be an important preparation direction for Western Sichuan in the next two years.  China's rise and rejuvenation will truly begin.  As for how far he can go in the future, it depends on Wang Yuze's ability and China's development.  At least, Wang Yuze, who is confident about the future, believes that he has a great chance of success.

    After inspecting the port, Wang Yuze also went deep into the people of Guangxi to understand the situation.  Under the rapid arrangements of the cabinet, a large number of officials trained in western Sichuan were already in place. With the help of the army, they had fully taken over the political power in Guangxi.  The handover process was basically smooth.  The only shortcoming was that when the Manchu and Qing officials left, their treasury was half empty, leaving Western Sichuan in a mess.  Fortunately, Western Sichuan has prepared enough funds, otherwise it would be really difficult to operate.

    In addition, Guangxi¡¯s reform of the Western Sichuan model is also proceeding smoothly.  The whole of Guangxi is full of mountains and little land.  There are also many ethnic minorities and the situation is more complicated.  However, the vast number of landless and landless farmers still strongly support the policy of land redemption and distribution of land to farmers in Western Sichuan.  This has enabled Guangxi's reform to gain support from the broad masses of the people and be able to proceed smoothly.  Only certain areas where clan power is relatively large still need to be implemented step by step.  However, generally speaking, Guangxi has quickly been included in the scope of western Sichuan.

    The three brigades of the Western Sichuan Army that entered Guangxi have also undergone comprehensive adjustments.  Among them, the second brigade deployed in Guilin, northwest of Guangxi, to guard against the Qing army in Hunan.  The Sixth Brigade was stationed in Wuzhou to guard against the Qing army in Guangdong.  The Fifth Brigade deployed to defend the Chongzuo area, guarding the French in Indochina to the south.

    When these inspections were completed, it was already August 20, and it had been half a month since Wang Yuze left Chengdu.  It's time to return.  The delivery time of his eldest wife, Xiong Menghan, was also very close.  If he rushes back quickly, he should still be able to catch up.

    When Wang Yuze was about to return to Beihai to encourage the officials of the Navy Department.  Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, rushed to the countryside and found Wang Yuze with a serious look on his face.

    After finding Wang Yuze, Zhang Cheng took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Wang Yuze.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Wang Wei, get ready to go, we will return to Chengdu immediately!" Wang Yuze left and ordered.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Wang Wei left to prepare.

    "Minister Zhang, I'll leave the navy to you!" Wang Yuze said to Zhang Cheng before leaving.

    "Don't worry, young marshal! In two years, I will definitely give you a powerful navy!" Zhang Cheng promised.
