In November 1896 in Taiwan, it was already late autumn, and winter was about to come in the blink of an eye. However, the port of Keelung in Taipei has stopped work and has not continued to work. Originally, there were a lot of immigrants from Taiwan coming over recently, but now Wang Guorui ordered the migrant boat to temporarily go to Tainan to dock, and this Taipei was left by Wang Guorui to have an important matter to do.

A lot of people gathered in Keelung Port in Taipei, and these people were also looking at the warships docked at this Keelung Port and began to point their fingers. And these people are also foreign ministers, and they are here to participate in the naval parade held by Wang Guorui.

Since Sa Zhenbing came to Taiwan to investigate, he has discovered that Taiwan has unlimited potential and is completely a boss who can take refuge. And he finally saw the three 10,000-ton battleships promised by Wang Guorui, as well as the five 5,000-ton cruisers, which shocked him. And there are auxiliary ships of all sorts of destroyers, frigates, etc., and that's a lot more. Although he didn't know where Wang Guorui's ships came from, he knew that Taiwan's strength was sufficient, and it could be used as a powerful naval force. And this is East Asia, and if there is such a navy, it is absolutely no problem for East Asia to be the king.

Therefore, Sa Zhenbing mobilized the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division on the mainland and came over to join Wang Guorui. Of course, these officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division have also begun to serve, and many of them have been promoted. Because most of these sailors of the Beiyang Navy Division are experienced, and even have actual combat experience. Moreover, Wang Ruiyan zhòng lacked officers, and these people were able to be reused. Many people have become captains, and they have risen through the ranks all of a sudden. However, there are some guys who also brought the corrupt atmosphere of the Beiyang Navy Division at that time, and Wang Guorui also killed their unhealthy practices. And when they came here, they realized that the sailors here were completely different from theirs. Almost many of the sailors here are completely loyal to Wang Guorui, and their every move will be monitored. If he has any corrupt behavior, I am afraid that Wang Guorui will soon be able to find out.

This made them feel frightened, some of them wanted to go back, but it was not easy for them to come to Taiwan and want to go back. In addition, they also resigned from their official positions in the Manchu Qing to serve Wang Guorui's Taiwan, so they were also rebellious to the Manchus, so they had no way out. can only serve Wang Guorui.

It took two months, and although it was not able to form combat effectiveness, it was possible to start the ship. Therefore, Wang Guorui will also start a big military parade at sea, and then take the initiative to show the world the strength of his navy, showing that Taiwan has the strength to protect its maritime borders.

"Governor Wang, I very much want to know, how did you get your hands on the Monarch-class battleships designed by our British Empire, as well as the Centurion-class battleships? Who helped you produce. Explain, please! British Minister Dou Nale said angrily.

Dou Nale was really almost crazy, Wang Guorui's three battleships were completely using their British monarch-class battleships and Centurion-class battleships, all of which were of the same type. And Dou Nale can be sure that there is no deal between Britain and Wang Guorui, and the domestic battleships are also complete, and there is nothing missing. But there will be a Sovereign-class and two Centurion-class battleships here, which is simply making Dou Nale furious. You must know that the British monarch-class battleship can be said to be the pinnacle masterpiece of the pre-dreadnought, and it is the most powerful battleship of this era. Not one of them. And this is the trump card of the British, the most powerful battleship. But now that it's been cloned here, I can't imagine what went wrong.

"These three warships are the British Sovereign-class and the Centurion-class? I'm really lonely and unheard of, I'm a countryman, I've never seen a warship, and what others say is what it is! It seems that the gang of people who sold me warships are really not authentic. Actually plagiarized, I severely condemn them! Wang Guorui pretended to be angry and said angrily.

"Let you play dumb!" Dou Nale said angrily in his heart.

"I want to ask, who sold you these warships?" Dou Nale asked.

Dou Nale also felt that the grandsons of these warships sold to Wang Guorui were not ordinary, and they could even be made by the British monarchy. It is important to know that the construction cycle of a battleship is calculated in years, and there must be a corresponding industrial reserve. But an unknown organization was able to build three battleships. So what kind of organization could make such a? If there really is such a powerful organization in this world, then I am afraid that the position of the British will be in danger.

"I don't know, anyway, they just took the initiative to come to the door to sell, I happen to lack warships, then I can buy them with them!" Wang Guorui said.

"Pretend, you pretend!" Dou Nale scolded in his heart.

Wang Guorui continued: "Their service attitude is really good, and they actually gave me all the design drawings of the warship. I'm thinking about finding a home and selling all the blueprints, so I might be able to get some money to cover the huge cost of building an army! ”

Dou Nale's face turned green, Wang Guorui is an out-and-out threat, that is, a threat that if the British continue to investigate, Wang Guorui will also sell the design of the monarchy, and even spread it to the world. Although it is not always possible to build a warship with a design drawing, it is possible to analyze the weaknesses of a warship through a design drawing. The navies of many countries do not allow people from enemy countries to board their warships, that is, to prevent the enemy from discovering weaknesses. And the design drawings should be kept secret, after all, if the design drawings find weaknesses, it is very bad.

And Dou Nale is sure that their rivals, the Germans, will definitely like this thing very much. Such a thing can not only find the weaknesses of the enemy's warship, but also allow their own ship designers to get a lot of inspiration and make their own warship design more perfect. Therefore, once the Germans know the news, they will not let go of this opportunity.

"Don't sell it, this is very bad for our British Empire!" Dou Nale said.

Wang Guorui said: "But I'm really short of money!" ”

"......" Dou Nale was speechless.

And Wang Guorui quickly left Dou Nale's side, and Dou Nale's face was like a bitter melon. But Wang Guorui grinned, obviously just looting a small sum of money from the British, called hush money. Originally, Dou Nale wanted to question Wang Guorui, but he didn't expect to be bitten back by Wang Guorui immediately, and he posted the sealing fee.

"Minister Lin Dong? Does anyone here owe you money? Why do you look sad? Wang Guorui asked.

Lin Dong, the Japanese minister to the Qing Dynasty, had a sad face, obviously very afraid of this warship. Of course, Wang Guorui knows why, because Taiwan's weakness was originally its navy, but now Taiwan has achieved such a powerful navy overnight, which means that Taiwan is not afraid of Japan at all. Although Japan's Combined Fleet is now replenishing its warships, its total tonnage is only 40,000 tons. However, Wang Guorui's three battleships, five cruisers, and various auxiliary ships have a total tonnage of almost 90,000 tons, which is more than twice the size of Japanese warships. If there is a real fight, I am afraid that Japan will suffer very much.

"Heck, aren't we in Taiwan also learning from Japan? Back then, Japan was smashing pots and selling iron to form a navy, but even the queen's jewelry was donated, which was magnificent! And the consequence of doing this, that is, successfully extorting a lot of wealth from our China, is really not simple! If we are beaten, we will have to think about revitalization, and then we in Taiwan will naturally have to smash the pot and sell iron to form a navy. However, we are still a certain distance from Japan, after all, our sailors are novices and do not have much experience. And many of the captains are new and have not shown their experience. And warships also have to undergo sea trials, so it will take several years to truly form combat effectiveness. So, it's just a few more years for some dwarfs to bounce. Wang Guorui said.

Lin Dong smiled reluctantly and did not speak.

Just now, Wang Guorui was exposing people's scars, Japan smashed the pot and sold iron to form a navy, but he only got a reparation, not a piece of land. And this time, Japan has actually lost money to my grandmother's house, and the indemnity is just enough to supplement the domestic economy and pay pensions to those fallen soldiers. And this time Japan took out the national fortune to gamble, although it did not lose properly and lost its pants, but it was also worth a lot of money, and the return was far less than paying. After all, they didn't get a single colony, not even Liaodong and Taiwan, so isn't this a loss?

And now that Taiwan also has a lot of navies, with the enmity between Taiwan and Japan, it can be regarded as a period of Liangzi that cannot be good. And what Wang Guorui said just now that all kinds of naval personnel training and sea trials of warships will take several years, and this is not false. So Wang Guorui can only let this little devil stumble for a few more years and let them live a few more years.

However, once the navy of the kingdom of Ruidu really forms combat effectiveness, then Japan's life will not be easy. So when Lin Dong saw this situation, he became sighing, and his face was very sad, as if someone else owed him money.

"Little devil, I didn't expect you to have today! How arrogant were you in the beginning? One report and one report, when the time comes, there will be your good fruit to eat. Wang Guorui thought in his heart. (To be continued......)
