    In early September, the First Division of Japanese mercenaries arrived in Nanyang by boat.  These 10,000 Japanese troops, organized into regiments, landed in Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, and Malaya.  Under the command of the local Chinese army, a fierce attack was launched against the local Nanyang indigenous people.  Often, after the scouts and special forces of the Chinese Army discovered the settlements of the Nanyang indigenous people, they notified the Japanese mercenaries, and then these Japanese mercenaries encircled the settlements of the Nanyang indigenous peoples and carried out brutal massacres.

    I have to admit that the Japanese are very talented in this area.  As soon as they arrived in Nanyang in September, they wiped out tens of thousands of natives and seized hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of wealth.  This greatly appreciated the Chinese General Staff and has already planned to form two more Japanese mercenary divisions next year.

    ¡°These Japanese people are not afraid of death, and when fighting, they don¡¯t even care about their lives.  The weapons used by the Nanyang natives were extremely crude and were no match for the Japanese.  Under the Japanese's fearless attack, they suffered successive defeats.  Ever since the Japanese arrived in Nanyang, the indigenous people have suffered a lot, and groups have been massacred continuously.  In order to protect themselves, these Nanyang natives hid in the deep mountains and forests, staying as far away from the Chinese immigration points as possible.  Now, these indigenous people can no longer even guarantee the safety of their own tribes, let alone launch attacks on Chinese immigration sites.  Throughout the Nanyang region, Japanese mercenaries have completely become monster-like existences.

    However, these actions of the Japanese were also reported by those pervasive Western newspapers.  This once again caused an uproar in the West.  Many countries have erupted in opposition to the genocide in Southeast Asia, demanding that China immediately stop the massacre of indigenous residents in Southeast Asia.  However, China does not admit it at all, because no Chinese participated in the massacre of Nanyang natives.  They put all the responsibilities on the Japanese and stated that this was the behavior of the Japanese mercenaries themselves and that everything had nothing to do with China.  China recruited these Japanese mercenaries just to maintain stability in Southeast Asia.  As for the conflicts between Japan and the Southeast Asian indigenous people, China will not interfere at all.

    With the support of China, Japan also jumped out very arrogantly, claiming that after the Japanese mercenaries arrived in Nanyang, they were attacked by the natives of Nanyang. What they did was just revenge.  In the face of protests and condemnations from the West, Japan did not take it seriously and ignored it at all.  Anyway, Japan has no plans to repay the huge debt it owes to Britain, France, the United States and other countries. It already has irreconcilable conflicts with the West.  As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it. If you have too many lice, you don't need to itch. Japan only needs to please China and does not need to worry about the Western world at all.  Anyway, with China at the front, Western countries and Japan have nothing to do.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? to China using Japan¡¯s help to kill the indigenous people in Southeast Asia, of course, Western countries know everything about it.  However, Japan took the initiative to resist this person, which gave them no reason to accuse China.  At most, it¡¯s just that China¡¯s supervision is unfavorable.  In addition, China continues to accuse Western countries of the crimes they have committed in America and Africa, making it even more difficult for these Western countries to discredit China on this point.  After all, they have a lot of shit under their own butts that they haven¡¯t wiped clean.  As for those Nanyang natives, they were completely selectively forgotten by people.

    Wang Yuze was very satisfied with the proper resolution of the Nanyang issue.  The large-scale immigration plan is proceeding in an orderly manner. After the natives in the Nanyang region are constantly being driven into the deep mountains and forests, the safety of immigrants is rarely threatened. The people in the country are relieved and no longer resist immigration.  The infrastructure construction at home and in the newly occupied territories is also proceeding according to plan. The whole of China is like a huge construction site, and the country's strength is also booming.  Once China has digested the benefits gained from this war, it will be just around the corner for China to become the world's top power.

    "The cabinet and the General Staff are responsible for specific matters. Wang Yuze was suddenly free and had a lot more time to spend with his family and children.  Especially as time passed, his sons have reached school age. In order for the children to become talents, Wang Yuze, the father, also spent a lot of time on them.  In the several years since he became emperor, Wang Yuze has always rejected the suggestion of choosing concubines, and there have always been only a few concubines, which makes Xinhua Palace somewhat deserted.  However, he also gained the love of the people.

    In mid-October 1900, when Wang Yuze was dying, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng came to his door.

    "Your Majesty, Zhang Cheng!" Zhang Cheng, who was promoted to Navy Marshal, has been in a very good mood and full of energy recently.  He also hopes to win another victory in the next war.  Then, he could be promoted to Marshal of the Empire by virtue of his military merit.

    "Oh? Mr. Zhang? What's the matter?" Wang Yuze asked lazily.  Once the country is at peace, he willMy god, it seems a bit boring.

    "I heard that Your Majesty has been relatively free recently, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to go to Tianjin for inspection!" Zhang Cheng said.

    "Tianjin? What's wrong?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "It's like this. The Navy's Battleship Design Institute has designed the drawings of the 'Han-class' battleship according to your requirements. In addition, there are several warships that the Navy will focus on developing in the next few years, and they also need you.  The decision is required. This is directly related to the development of the Navy in the next few years!" Zhang Cheng said.  If the navy wants to obtain more military spending and build more warships, to a large extent, it must first satisfy Wang Yuze.  Therefore, after the new battleship was designed, Zhang Cheng immediately came to invite Wang Yuze to inspect it.

    "The 'Han-class' battleship has been designed? This is good news. Well, let's go to Tianjin tomorrow!" Wang Yuze said immediately.  It just so happened that he was very free now, so he could take this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air.

    When the emperor goes on tour, there are too many etiquettes to pay attention to.  Wang Yuze didn't want to bother, so he always kept things simple.  After just telling the Prime Minister Yang Hua and the Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, under the protection of the Chief of Guard Wu Hao and others, a group of more than a dozen people left the palace and rushed to Tianjin by train.  As for safety, there will be no problem at all.  Although there were only a dozen people on the surface, there were at least hundreds of people accompanying him secretly.  Once a danger is discovered, you can quickly contact the local police department and garrison.  In addition, the Department of Homeland Security has stepped up its efforts to crack down on domestic spy agencies deployed by various countries, causing heavy losses to various countries and raising domestic security to a higher level.

    On October 16, Wang Yuze and his party arrived at Tianjin Dagu Shipyard.  As the center of rule moved northward, many of the original functions of the Beihai Shipyard were replaced by the Tianjin Dagu Shipyard.  The most important warship design institute was also established in Dagu.  On the one hand, it facilitates security protection to prevent the empire's advanced battleship data from being leaked; on the other hand, it facilitates management.  Now, the Chinese Navy's warship design and construction are definitely at the world's leading level.  Therefore, many spies from various countries are trying to steal relevant information.  And here, it has also become a key defense place for China's Military Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.  Within a radius of five kilometers, there is a military restricted area, and a regiment of troops is stationed.  In addition, the shipyard itself has a battalion-sized escort team, plus agents from the Military Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. The defense here is completely impregnable.  In the past few days, especially after the Chinese Navy showed its might and defeated the joint fleets of Britain, France and Russia, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Department of Homeland Security have jointly uncovered dozens of attempts to steal information on the Chinese Navy's advanced warships and arrested  There were hundreds of spies killed.  Among these people are the British, Americans, French and Russians, as well as China¡¯s quasi-ally Germans.  It can be seen that for the sake of battleship technology, no one can be trusted.

    After Wang Yuze arrived at the battleship design institute, Barclays, who was already the chief designer of the design institute?  Smit showed Wang Yuze his latest work, the 'Han-class' battleship, which can be said to be designed entirely in accordance with Wang Yuze's requirements.  At the same time, what satisfies Wang Yuze is that except for many Westerners, most of the people in the design office are already Chinese.  After several years of training, China has produced many outstanding warship designers.  As for the 'Han-class' battleship, just a few Chinese designers cooperated with Barclays?  Smit completed.  After all, Barclays?  Smit is a German. Although Germany and China have close relations, China still has to guard against it.  When there are hostile powers such as Britain and France, China and Germany may be able to unite to fight against the enemy.  But once these enemy countries are defeated, China and Germany may eventually have a battle for world hegemony.  It is very necessary for China to properly retain some trump cards.

    In the past, China needed to learn from Germany in everything. For many technologies, it needed to purchase or request support from China.  And Germany does not hand over everything to China.  Fortunately, after several years of development, China has passed the most difficult period.  Although there is still a certain gap between China and Germany in the level of industrialization, China is still not as good as Germany in steel, chemical industry and machinery manufacturing.  But overall, the gap is no longer large and is still shrinking.  Give China a few more years and China may be able to catch up.  At least, in terms of battleship design, China is now guarding against Germany!  (To be continued.
