The Zhongyong Army also sent troops to take over the Da Nang base. The transportation of the captured materials later took the Zhongyong Army a full week.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhongyong Army dispatched 80,000 fully armed elite troops and launched a fierce attack on the French army in Hue and Vinh City, Vietnam. With the support of the sea fleet and transport ships, the Zhongyong Army forced the French army without supplies into
Dilemma.
Under the attack of Zhou Yu's regiment, which was fully armed and attacked by giant ships and artillery, the French Empire was soon stationed in Hue, Vietnam, and the Vinh City garrison was forced to surrender.
The Zhongyong Army fleet took a short rest and then turned its guns to threaten the French troops in the Paracel Islands and Nansha Islands. Without any security firepower, only a small number of French troops stationed on the islands chose to surrender. In the west, the Nansha Islands were recovered.
After the war, Zhou Yu ordered the residents to be relocated to the West and Nansha Islands. He also built strategic fortifications on the islands, mobilized troops, erected boundary monuments of China and China, and determined sovereignty.
The Zhongyong Army seized a large amount of military supplies and precision machinery, as well as grain, factories, and planting bases.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhongyong Army took advantage of the victory and secretly signed the "Hanoi Treaty" with the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty, using Vinh City as the boundary to divide the northern and southern halves. The southern part was the territory of the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty, and the French army occupied the south of Da Nang.
District, Zhou Yu promised to help King Nguyen of Vietnam regain it after he reorganized his army, and the area north of Vinh City became the territory of the Chinese Loyal and Yong Army.
Of course, Zhou Yu packed up and took away all the things he liked in the occupied areas of southern Vietnam. As the saying goes: ant meat, it is also meat! (Speechless)
King Nguyen of Vietnam is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Ever since Vietnam was occupied by the French army, he has been frightened all day long, afraid of this and that. Now that he has been saved by the loyal army, he can still be his King of Peace, so
Without thinking, he agreed to all the conditions of the Zhongyong Army.
The King of Vietnam temporarily designated Da Nang as the royal capital of Vietnam. All Vietnamese civil and military officials moved to Da Nang from Hanoi. The military base in Da Nang was temporarily garrisoned by the Zhongyong Army to protect the stability of the King of Vietnam's regime.
The signing of the "Hanoi Treaty" was regarded as a traitorous treaty by the angry youth of Vietnam in the future, and King Nguyen was also called the traitorous king.
Today's Zhou Yu Group can be called one of the world's military forces. It is a powerful existence that no country in the world dares to despise.
Through trading, construction, and seizure, they acquired a total of more than sixty warships of various types, including various ironclad ships captured from the French Navy, twenty-six iron-clad ships, and sixteen self-built warships.
The captured French warships were all modified by Zhou Yu. The previous weapons and equipment were removed and the weapons and equipment in line with the Zhongyong Army were installed. This reduced the burden on logistics and greatly improved the speed and performance. Among them was a Lashi.
Germany's flagship ironclad was renamed the A3 heavy cruiser by Zhou Yu and assigned to Deng Shichang for use as the flagship.
There are also more than twenty low-displacement, low-speed three-masted wooden boats, all of which were arranged by Zhou Yu near various bases to be responsible for normal base security patrols.
There are eight underwater submarines. With new technology, the four 1,200-ton B-class submarines prepared more than a year ago have also recently been successfully tested and launched and equipped with troops.
Since diesel engines combined with electric motors pose certain safety risks, Zhou Yu sent people to bring drawings and technical information of closed diesel engines and closed cycle steam turbines to Diesel and Laval respectively, asking them to start testing and manufacturing these two models.
Engines specifically needed for submarines.
There are also close to a hundred transport and supply ships of various types, not including the ocean-going transport ships of the nominal companies.
The Zhongyong Army currently has more than 260,000 regular troops of various types, all of which are scattered in Zhongyong Army secret bases around the world. Among them, there are also small and medium-sized underground military secret bases built in various joint-stock companies of Zhou Yu in China.
Zhou Yu also arranged for medium-sized deep-water docks, shipyards, submarine production bases, airship laboratories, powered delta-wing laboratories, steel plants, gun and weapon factories, ammunition factories, defense facilities, etc. to be built on the West and Nansha Islands.
Rashilde was also secretly sent to Yongxing Island to take charge of the research and development of the airship and powered delta wing projects for which Zhou Yu provided drawings and information.
The Zhongyong Army also used Woody Island as its main base and developed westward and in depth to the Nansha Islands.
Zhou Yu also made detailed plans for the navy:
He divided the navy into Ye Fu's Pacific Fleet, which consisted of a total of fourteen warships of various types, including an A1 heavy cruiser. Ye Fu was the commander, and the deputy commander was Xu Shoushan. The main base was Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
….
Lu Han's South China Sea Fleet consists of a total of fourteen warships of various types, including an A2 heavy cruiser. Lu Han is the commander, and the deputy commander is Chen Ying. The main base is Vietnam's coastal defense.
Deng Shichang's East China Sea Fleet consists of a total of fourteen warships of various types, including an A3 heavy cruiser. Deng Shichang is the commander, and the deputy commander is Ye Chen. The main base is Keelung, Taiwan.
The Fujian naval elites who survived the Battle of Mawei were all arranged by Zhou Yu in his three naval fleets.
Zhou Yu originally planned to appoint Liu Yongfu as the commander-in-chief of the navy. Later, when a large number of naval talents became available, he changed his mind and appointed Liu Yongfu as the commander-in-chief of the Zhongyong Army.
When Deng Shichang, Ye Chen, Lu Han and others boarded the A3 heavy cruiser, their bodies were filled with excitement.
Is it possible not to be excited?
The giant iron-clad ship was fully loaded with nearly 10,000 tons. They never thought that this was their own battleship!
In today's world, we have never seen a 10,000-ton battleship! Let alone a giant battleship of our own Chinese army?
As a result, all the naval officers and soldiers of the Zhongyong Army basically spend their time on warships. They love their warships so much that they must improve themselves all the time so that they can master these ironclad ships faster and better.
All performance and naval combat skills.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the navy's officers and soldiers, Zhou Yu's military expenditures continued to rise. The navy's material consumption that month reached an astonishing nearly 500,000 US dollars. Considering the price level at the time, each ship consumed one dollar per day.
For more than a thousand dollars, that is unimaginable madness!
When the data was reported to the grassroots level of the Navy, Lu Han, Deng Shichang and others all blushed deeply. Hey! It's all our fault! After that, they also restrained themselves a little. Such consumption is just sitting in the Jinshan Silver Mine.
There will come a time when it will all be used up!
Today, Deng Shichang is proud and smiling all day long. At that time, when Ye Fu was half threatening and half forcing him to recruit the Zhongyong Army, he was not very happy. He secretly blamed Ye Fu for making him act disloyal and unfaithful.
A filial person.
Now, he fully realized Ye Fu's good intentions at that time. If he was still serving in the Beiyang Navy, the final result would still be as tragic as Ye Chen and the others.
Ye Fu pulled himself into the Zhongyong Army early, which enabled him to quickly master the Zhongyong Army's standard weapons and the use of ironclad ships. This also prevented him from being unable to keep up with the Zhongyong Army's almost perverted pace in the future, which would lead to his own
There is a possibility of leaving the beloved Navy.
When I find some free time, I still want to go back to Dagokou and win over my friends from the Beiyang Navy so that they can become a truly powerful member of China's navy just like me.
Deng Shichang ended his reverie and grinned at Ye Chen, who was also thinking deeply next to him. When you first came here, you were crying all day long to go back to Mawei. Now if there is a chance, do you still want to go back?
Nonsense, I heard Commander Ye Fu say: Weren't you happy to come here back then? From what I see now! Even if the principal whips you away, you won't be able to leave our East China Sea Fleet!
That’s right! Ye Fu even made fun of me for this matter. Now I think about it carefully: We were really stupid and naive back then!
We, the Chinese loyal army, wiped out the French Far East invasion force, but instead of rewarding our army, the Qing Dynasty betrayed us. How could such a government achieve anything?
As for the widows of the martyrs who died in the Mawei naval battle, our principal treated them as martyrs' families and paid them large amounts of pensions. We also built a martyrs' monument in Taiwan and engraved the names of those martyrs on the tombstones, saying that they would benefit future generations.
Future generations pay tribute to these heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Also, what can be seen everywhere in Taiwan is the smiling faces of our Chinese people who are full of confidence, pride, self-improvement, and optimism. We have never found a single person whose face is numb and lifeless.
This is still Taiwan, a place that was transformed by our loyal and brave army in less than two years, and we have not been to Vietnam and Hawaii, which were the first to be transformed!
I believe that there must be a peaceful scene there now. Deep in my heart, I really hope that our principal will make a decision as soon as possible to unify China. Only in this way can our Chinese nation truly take off and rise as soon as possible.
.Speaking of this, Deng Shichang showed a proud look on his face.
I didn't think so, but the principal said: In order to avoid civil war, hurt the innocent people of China, and damage the national foundation of China, only when the time is completely mature can we implement the final plan to unify China.
I, Ye Chen, feel ashamed for being blind at first!
Our principal is the model who truly serves the country and the people. Our loyal and brave soldiers are the Chinese people and the real backbone of the entire Chinese nation! While Ye Chen was speaking, his body stood as tall as a mountain, as if telling the world that he
He is the sacred loyal and brave army of China, and he is also the backbone of the Chinese nation. His face is also flushed with excitement.
So! The only thing we can do for the principal now is to train, train and train again. We must train our fleet to become the Steel Division of China.
Ye Fu, Lu Han and others joined the Zhongyong Army earlier than us, and also came into contact with real armored ships earlier than us, for our East China Sea Fleet, and not to mention the principal who has great confidence and hope in us.
We must all devote more time and energy than Ye Fu and Lu Han to training our soldiers so that we can catch up as soon as possible or surpass the strength of their fleet. Only by achieving such results can we live up to our expectations.
Principal, you have high expectations for us.
Your idea is great! I wholeheartedly support your approach. Let’s not waste any more time and train as soon as possible! However, now we need to save some money for the principal!
