"Fearless, Fearless..." Yan Fu kept murmuring.*eng.com**

Tang Jian asked with a smile: "Mr. Yan, why? Isn't this a good name?"

Yan Fu graduated from the Greenwich Naval Academy in the UK and has a deep understanding of various warships. After seeing the various performance data in Tang Jian's hands, he also understood the superiority of this dreadnought in firepower, speed and tonnage.

Yan Fu shook his head and said solemnly: "No, the name of Fearless is very good. It is brave and fearless, and it symbolizes the military spirit of the navy. I just feel that the Fearless battleship is an epoch-making battleship in the Chinese Navy!"

Tang Jian empathized with it and said: "This Fearless is the first battleship in the history of the world's naval world today to adopt a unified main gun, and it is also the first battleship powered by steam turbines. This is an epoch-making warship that makes previous battleships ships ship in the old-fashioned way! It can be said with certainty that when the Fearless goes into the sea, those battleships that are still under construction or have been completed in all countries in the world will fall behind in an instant. The Fearless is the watershed in the construction technology of battleships!"

The evaluation that Tang Jian mentioned was the evaluation of the dreadnoughts in later generations, and Tang Jian only advanced such a new era of warships by two years.

When the Battle of Tsuma, the Dragon-Wei-class battleship of the Beiyang Fleet faced the Mikasa battleship. Because the Dragon-Wei-class battleship used two caliber main guns to shoot, the ballistics and the rate of fire were different, and the observation of the bullet point and fire control could not be unified, which affected the rate of fire and hit rate of the main gun.

Since the battle against Ma Hai, Tang Jian clearly saw the defects of the Longwei and realized that the Dragonwei alone could not surround the ocean and fight against several naval powers. So he "plagiarized" the construction characteristics of the later dreadnoughts and proposed three important shipbuilding theories of "full-heavy artillery", "steam turbine" and "comprehensive defense capabilities".

After the theory was proposed, several shipbuilding experts such as Yitian Aden, Li Guanbi, and Liu Qingshan personally tried it. After years of exploration, this epoch-making fearless ship was finally built.

Tang Jian was a little excited and took Yan Fu and others to board the Fearless Bridge under construction. Standing in the Fearless Bridge that had not yet been completely completed, Tang Jian felt excited. As long as the Fearless Bridge was born, the strength of the Chinese navy can be immediately promoted to the top ten naval powers in the world!

By then, Tang Jian will no longer be afraid of the British Far East Fleet, and will be fully confident that he will kill the American Taibai Fleet in his infancy. China's international status will be unprecedentedly improved due to the birth of this warship!

Once the dreadnought comes out! Who will compete with you?

Tang Jian was in a state of excitement, and then he thought about whether he would learn from the U.S. Taibai Fleet at that time and drag the Fearless to march around the world, so that those powerful people who were still thinking about China could see the true strength of the Chinese Navy!

Who was the first battle of the Fearless? Tang Jian thought to himself.

Yan Fu and others saw Tang Jian suddenly remain silent and frowned slightly, thinking that Tang Jian was worrying about national affairs again. If Yan Fu knew that Tang Jian was worried about the troubles and fearlessness in his heart at this time, would he laugh if he wanted to take the Japanese first after the birth of the "Fearless" name.

Tang Jian was so confused that he accidentally blurted out: "Would we use the Fearless Number to practice the Japanese first?"

Yan Fu, Ouyang Yanqing, Tian Aden, Li Guanbi and Liu Qingshan were immediately petrochemical on the spot. Did the president treat the dreadnought as a toy? He took the Japanese first... and practiced his skills?

Yan Fu coughed twice awkwardly and said, "President, that... since the Battle of Tsuma and the Battle of Sasebo, the Japanese Navy has been crippled by us, and the combined fleet has been wiped out. Even their last battleship, Mikasa, has been captured by us, and is still serving in the Chinese Pacific Fleet! Nowadays, not to mention battleships, there is no more a decent cruiser. To deal with the Japanese, a Dragon-Wei-class battleship is enough."

Tang Jian laughed dryly: "Sao Rui, Sao Rui, I forgot about this. How many shots should I do with the Pacific Fleet in the port of Vladivostok?"

Yan Fu staggered and almost fell down, so he had to say: "President, since the last Battle of Weihaiwei, all the elite troops of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet have been lost. It is still possible to train with the Fearless."

"Ah, yes, the Russians seem to be unable to do it anymore. Now there is no decent rival in the Far East, haha." Tang Jian said with a smile.

Li Guanbi and Liu Qingshan looked at each other. The president's thinking was too jumpy. He was still very strong and passionate just now, but he suddenly became cynical. Their minds were really a bit unchanged.

Seeing that the few people were shocked, Tang Jian said seriously: "Don't mean, sorry, that was just joking, joking, don't take it seriously."

Yan Fu said: "What the President just said is a little bit reasonable. Since the last battle was defeated, the Japanese have borrowed a lot of foreign debts and used the country's customs tax as collateral. They customized a large number of new warships with Britain, Germany, the United States and other countries. The Japanese tried to make a comeback and revitalize the navy. Although there are no large warships in Japan now, Hirahachiro Togo has been preparing for wars, resting and re-cultivating a large number of naval talents in the past few years. Moreover, their warships will return to China in batches at the beginning of next year. The battleships that returned to China in the early stage are said to have six monarch-class battleships!"

Tang Jian snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "The little Japanese is ambition, and he is willing to sell out his national interests in exchange for a brand new fleet. Needless to say, it must be Hirobuki Ito's attention, and he still wants to make a comeback? It seems that the last time I fought was not cruel enough!"

Yan Fu's back was cold. Why did the president and the Japanese seem to have a deep hatred? The president seemed to want to completely defeat Japan, destroy the country, and destroy the species, and even showed murderous intent when speaking.

Yan Fu didn't know that China in later generations was tragically ravaged by Japan's iron hooves. After eight years of the War of Resistance, how many passionate young people died in the battlefield, the Nanjing Massacre, poison gas bombs, and the Three Lights Policy, more than tens of millions of innocent people died in that war.

These are not considered deep hatred, but should be considered overwhelming hatred. Didn’t the Japanese just want to destroy China and destroy China? Tang Jian never forgot these. This hatred that emerges from his bones determines his attitude towards the Japanese.

Tang Jian was originally a person who would avenge his grudges. When the Japanese sent Iga ninjas to assassinate him repeatedly, even his innocent cousin died tragically under the guns of the Japanese. Tang Jian remembers the national hatred and family hatred.

Instead of letting Japan recover slowly, it is better to take advantage of its weakness and kill it! Tang Jian came to this parallel time and space, with the goal of changing history and making up for historical regrets. While Japan has not yet become strong, he must defeat the Japanese and crippled them. Let him avenge the national hatred of later generations! Tang Jian said in his heart.

Seeing that Tang Jian's expression was ferocious and full of murderous aura, Tian Aden knew that Tang Jian had thought of the cruel behavior of the Japanese in later generations toward the Chinese, Tian Aden patted Tang Jian on the shoulder and whispered: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish."

Tang Jian quickly regained his previous expression and smiled and said, "Adden, thank you, and Mr. Yan, Ouyang Yanqing, thank you."

Yan Fu and Ouyang Yanqing were relieved when they saw Tang Jian recovering as usual. Just now, Tang Jian’s eyes were red, murderous intent, and his face was ferocious, and his whole body exuded a horrifying murderous aura, which made the people beside him shudder.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "It's getting late, everything in Wuhan is busy, and the Western Expedition is imminent. Mr. Yan and I must return to Wuhan."

Ouyang Yanqing, Tian Aden, Li Guanbi and Liu Qingshan all nodded.

Tang Jian said again: "Aden, the sea test of the Fearless will be handed over to you. The two chief engineers Liu and Li have been very worried. Also, Yan Qing, don't forget, my car!"

Liu Qingshan and Li Guanbi said: "President, please rest assured. We will do our best to strive for the early sea trial of the Fearless!"

Ouyang Yanqing smiled and said, "President, please rest assured. In a few months, I promise you can get in the car and you will no longer have to worry about riding a horse."

Tang Jian smiled with satisfaction, and then rushed back to Wuhan with Yan Fu overnight.

…………

One day, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Tsar Queen Alexandra Feodorovna roared hysterically in the bedroom of the Winter Palace, while Tsar Nicholas II stood helplessly.

Although Nicholas II was worried, he could not lose his temper with the tigress in front of him, because his queen was the daughter of Ludwig IV, the grand duke of Hessen and Darmstadt in Germany. Now Germany is rising rapidly in Europe and has already faintly threatened the border of Russia. Nicholas II does not want his dispute with the queen to become an excuse for Germany to attack Russia.

Nicholas II could only helplessly with the woman who was good at playing power and hysterical in front of her. She was stubborn and willful, and it was really unreasonable. Isn’t it just that she didn’t accompany her to hunt today? Is it necessary to get so angry like crazy?

Nicholas II was indescribable, so he closed his eyes and took over the accusations and abuses of Queen Feodorovna.

At this time, a servant approached and bowed, "Dear Emperor, General Alexei Nikolaevich Kuropatkin, Governor of the Army and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Army, General Evgeny Ivanovic Alexeev, Governor-General of Kanto Province and Commander of the garrison and Commander of the Pacific Navy, Yevgeny Ivanovic Alexeev, are waiting outside the door! They said that there were abnormal movements in the Chinese army and hope that His Majesty can meet them as soon as possible."

Nicholas II was overjoyed, and then pulled the attendant and fled out, while turning back and said, "My queen, there are major national affairs now, I want to deal with it!" After that, he disappeared at the door.

The Russian queen paused in anger and watched Nicholas II leave.
Chapter completed!
