The Nanyang Fleet that left Tokyo Bay did not return to Shanghai, but followed Pablo's advice and went to Hawaii to replenish supplies, and then found a way to return to China.

Just after 5 pm the day when Zhang Yunfei left Tokyo Bay, a fleet with a plaster flag drove into Tokyo Bay. That's right, it was the Japanese Joint Fleet. Because the Japanese base camp was very angry at the attack of Yokosuka Military Port but had no power to fight back, and at the same time, he was afraid that Zhang Yunfei would come to attack Tokyo, so Prince Shiren of Sugawa Miyagi urgently ordered Lieutenant General Yuyuki Ito to lead a slightly injured warship to Tokyo Bay immediately to drive away or annihilate the Nanyang Fleet. So Yuyuki Ito immediately led the Yoshino, Takachie, Akitsusu, Langsu, Chiyoda, and Hashita to rush to the six ships with mildly injured warships after a little supply.

As Pablo analyzed, Yuuki Ito was also shocked when he learned that the Qing fleet had attacked the land. He did not expect that the cowardly Qing Dynasty would dare to attack. He was very calm and knew that even if he went there, it was too late. He was not worried that the fleet would land and attack, so he ordered the Xihai fleet to go to Tokyo to rescue immediately, and his joint fleet immediately carried out simple repairs and prepared to continue the battle. When he got that Zhang Yunfei's fleet had left and returned, he immediately brought the less injured Yoshino, Takachie, Akitsusu, Langsu, and Chiyoda.

The six ships of Hashiri were preparing to ambush halfway while Zhang Yunfei returned to destroy Zhang Yunfei in one fell swoop. However, after waiting for a long time, the fleet searched and advanced towards Tokyo. When they arrived at Yokosuka Military Port, they met with the West Sea Fleet, but they did not find any traces of the enemy ships. The purpose of entering was a ruin, and the cleaning personnel were constantly carrying out burnt corpses from the ruins. Yuki Ito looked full of grief and immediately rushed to Tokyo again. Fortunately, Tokyo was not attacked, so they felt relieved. Thinking that the Nanyang Fleet might be nearby, they immediately cheered up and led the team to continue searching.

Although the Japanese government has made every effort to block the news, many businessmen, technicians, crew members in Japan have witnessed the shelling incident with their own eyes, so the news cannot be blocked. At this time, all the great powers in the world have already known that Japan was caused very serious losses by the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang fleet. This is another revelation after the Battle of Pyongyang and the Battle of the Yellow Sea, which surprised all countries.

The British Times reported: "I can't believe that under the situation where the Pyongyang Army of the Qing Dynasty fled without a fight and the Beiyang Navy was defeated in the Yellow Sea, the Qing Dynasty's South Ocean Navy, led by a playboy Zhang Yunfei, took advantage of the Qing Dynasty's Yellow Sea Battle to attack Japan's secret naval base, burned down the Osaka Bay supply base, and Yokosuka Port, which represents Japan's highest shipbuilding level, with brilliant results and attracting attention from the world."

The New York newspaper in the United States reported: "It is said that a new cruiser in Wugang with far more performance than Yoshino was abducted, and it was not known by Japan until later the next day after being attacked. This shows how fast and carefully planned the South China Sea Fleet was!

French New News reported: "After the Osaka shelling, more than half of Japan's supply supplies were destroyed, and Japan's largest and most advanced Osaka military factory was also destroyed by the war. I believe everyone knows the fierce zha medicine used by the Japanese fleet during the Qingji Naval War! It was developed and manufactured by this military factory!"

The Russian Moscow Daily reported: "The Japanese were too arrogant. There was no decent warship left behind in the huge rear, so they were able to attack by the backward Nanyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty. The destruction of Yokosuka Shipyard was a lesson, making him dare not look down on the enemy anymore. He just didn't know why the Nanyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty did not continue to attack Tokyo, Japan's old nest? Did he forget to eat when he set out, and he was hungry at that time and was about to go home for dinner?"

The German newspaper wrote: "Japan suffered heavy losses this time. Even if he sank the five main battleships of the Qing Dynasty during the naval war, it would not be compensated! The sneak attack of the Nanyang Fleet was like a big stick hitting Japan's back midfield. Whether Japan can still straighten up and continue the duel can still be seen."

In the end, all eyes were attracted by a report.

The Chilean Pacific report said: "There are five advanced warships in the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet that sneaked into Japan that were purchased by Zhang Yunfei, the admiral of the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Navy. In addition, Zhang Yunfei also signed a three-year naval mercenary contract with the Chilean Navy. About 1,500 former Chilean naval soldiers were employed by Zhang Yunfei's Nanyang Navy! According to Colonel Valta, the Minister of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yunfei hopes to continue to purchase Chilean warships and hire Chilean naval soldiers!"

Chile simply wants to say that its warships have good performance and its own soldiers are good. To put it bluntly, it is just advertising, for more people or countries to do business with Chile in the future. However, Chile's report made all countries suddenly realize that no wonder Zhang Yunfei dared to attack Japan. It turned out that he had five advanced intellectual warships and Chilean mercenaries! But he still admired Zhang Yunfei's courage. Then the great powers of various countries discovered a new financial path in this news, that is, mercenaries. Such a large-scale mercenary has never appeared, not to mention that they were mercenaries, which is actually equivalent to Chile helping the Qing Dynasty to attack Japan, but it did not declare war. The benefits are huge. They not only bought Chile's warships, hired Chile's navy, and helped Chile relieve financial pressure.

So after seeing the contract between Chile and Zhang Yunfei, countries looked envious and considered the situation of their own country, because they found that Zhang Yunfei was not ordinary rich and was not afraid of the visitors (when Zhang Yunfei saw that even the old Chilean ships were acquired at a high price), they wanted to sell warships to Italy, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Sweden, Norway and other countries in the Qing Dynasty did not sell them due to international neutrality legislation. Now, seeing Chile making a fortune, they were all moved and wanted to transfer their warships to Zhang Yunfei through Chile. Even if they couldn't sell the warships, they could earn a large amount of employment fee! They could also train their naval soldiers in their own country, so why not do it?

It was precisely because of Zhang Yunfei's precedent that the world's mercenary career developed rapidly, and later France even brought the mercenary military career to its extreme.

The most depressing thing is the Japanese government. Ito Hirofumi angrily condemned Chile for selling it to Qing warships despite Japan's strong opposition and hiring naval combatants to Qing, which violated international neutrality legislation and was a provocation to the Japanese Empire!

‘Maybe Hiromoto Ito is confused, when will Chile join the neutral legislation?’ All countries do not understand Hiromoto Ito!

The Japanese Navy had just defeated the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, which greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese military. In mid-July before the formal declaration of war, the Japanese base camp had formulated three combat policies based on the victory or defeat of the future naval battle: First, if the naval battle is won and the sea control power is won, the army will march straight into and attack China; Second, if the sea victory is not decided, the army will occupy Pyongyang, and the navy will maintain the sea control power in the Korean Strait; Third, if the Japanese fleet is defeated, the army will all retreat from North Korea and use the navy to defend the coast. According to the established plan, Japan should now be

Under the cover of the navy, the army rushed into the Yalu River and attacked the Qing Dynasty. Now the Japanese base camp was hesitant because the main ammunition supply on the front line of the Japanese army was destroyed, and only Sasebao had a small amount of pre-war reserve materials. If he attacked again, the Japanese ammunition on the front line would soon be unable to provide assistance. Moreover, the navy must now defend the local security and deal with the threat of Zhang Yunfei's Nanyang fleet, which was distracted. The primary goal now is to maintain the occupation of North Korea and stop the Qing army's counterattack, and then find a way to solve the supply problem.

So after discussion, the Japanese base decided to send Japanese Foreign Minister Muro Oshin to express his intention to continue to fight to the Qing Dynasty and start negotiations with the Qing Dynasty to paralyze the Qing Dynasty so that it would not fight back against the Japanese army. At the same time, Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito found a way to deal with the Japanese supplies on the front line. In this way, the Japanese war machine miraculously stopped.

At this time, it seems that Zhang Yunfei unexpectedly changed the wheel of history, but can it really change history? No one knows!
