On the same day.

In the Kiel Port under the afterglow, there are also a group of young people with yellow skin and dark hair busy, feeling this extraordinary battle with their own eyes and hands, drawing experience, learning naval battles, and hoping to make the tormented and waiting Chinese navy break out of their cocoon and become a butterfly through their own efforts.

Twist twist.

The office gate of Oliver Hakan's captain of the battlecruiser, Captain of the Seedlitz, was knocked.

"Please come in."

In the room, Hakan, who had a good personal relationship with Yang Qiu, was discussing the maintenance schedule of the Seedlitz with the officers. His beloved baby was damaged in the Battle of Doger Sands a few months ago and had to be sent to the dock for repair. The boring life of not being able to board the ship for several months made him very hated, so he looked at the maintenance schedule several times every day, and calculated how long it would take to get in the water by fingers.

The one who walked in was Bingwen. The boy who walked out of Hanyang with Yang Qiu had completely changed his appearance. His straight German naval uniform, shiny leather boots, and the faint stubble on his lips made him wash away his amidst mature and calm. Two years of theory, one year of destroyer internship and then to the Sedlitz gun internship, he took a arduous and glorious journey. "Captain, this is my report." After Bingwen saluted, he placed the Dogersan Seabas naval battle analysis report he wrote on his desk. The officers around him knew that Hakan had an inexplicable love for this young man he knew in China. When he learned that he had chosen the navy to come to Germany to study and ended his destroyer internship, he used his connections to bring him on his battle cruiser.

For a naval intern in a backward country, it is so precious to be able to board a giant warship of tons and participate in multiple naval battles and operations in person. He did not disappoint Hakan, and even far beyond the imagination of the officers next to him! Not long ago, in the Dogersy Naval Battle, when the gun officer was injured and the ship-based phone failed and could not coordinate the firepower of the entire ship, was this young intern officer decisively rushing like the No. 2 turret, commanding two guns to force the British New Zealand battle cruiser to get away from greater damage.

So when Hakan read the report carefully, the officers smiled at him.

After opening it, what came into view was a neat German summary report. It took ordinary people several years to learn German speaking. However, this young man passed the language barrier in just half a year. Now he can write a naval battle report that lasts dozens of pages. The report is very detailed, and every bit from the departure to the end is recorded. Even the time when the Seidlitz encountered the first shell is very accurate. What is even more rare is that from the naval battle process to the losses, very detailed analysis was conducted, such as the design defects of the hydraulic motor that drives the turret, the turret becomes unrotable after being hit by the shell, and the fireproof compartment needs to be reinforcing, etc., which shows that this young man who was purely a layman four years ago has become a very excellent naval officer.

"Very great, I think your mentor will be very satisfied." No matter how beautiful the thing on paper is, it is a hindsight. So Hakan closed the report and prepared to test him: "Some people say we failed because we failed to break the sea blockade for Germany."

Bingwen did not reply immediately. From the results, the German Navy was almost completely defeated in the Battle of Doger Sands. Blüchel sank, Seidlitz was seriously injured, and more than a thousand soldiers were killed and injured. On the other hand, Britain only had slightly injured battle cruiser, so there were many complaints about the naval battle. The Shanghai war in Canada coincided with the Earl of Spee and his fleet sank in the Falkland Islands, and all of his two sons were sacrificed. Therefore, the German Navy had been in a serious crisis of trust. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the submarine force, the navy might have been faced. So he sorted out his thoughts for a moment before he said

"There is a saying in China that there are gains and losses. Losing Blüchel is indeed a pity, but through war we not only discovered the weaknesses of the enemy, but also knew our shortcomings! Please forgive me for yourselves. I personally think that Germany has never been a real maritime country before. Although it has a powerful fleet, experience, use and combat plan comparable to the enemy, but it is not as good as the opponent. So for me, Dogers is just a high school entrance examination. Although the score is very low, it has gained experience, verified the fact that the German Navy is rising. I am looking forward to meeting General Betty again next time!"

"You are very good at talking." Hakan smiled slightly and took out a small box and handed it to the first mate: "I convinced me too. So this is what you deserve." The first mate opened the box, and it was a 1914 Iron Cross. Looking at the medal that every German man longed to get, Bingwen breathed rapidly.

"This is thank you for saving Seedlitz." After the first mate put the medal on him, Hakan saluted with everyone: "Congratulations, from now on, you have been promoted to Lieutenant and I have decided to officially make you my Guns and Cannon Assistant. I heard that your country has purchased two battlecruisers from the United States, and maybe you will be the real commander after the war is over."

"Thank you, Captain. Thank you." Bingwen almost jumped up excitedly. The gun internship pipe and the gun staff assistant are completely different concepts. The former mainly learns dangerous deck gun coordination and command, while the latter means that he can step into the battleship bridge and command tower, have a better observation perspective during battle, and learn all the skills of navigation, formation, and combat command!

"No, no, don't thank me. In fact, Yang has already made thanks." Hakan laughed and took out a large box of good Cuban cigars from the drawer and sent them to everyone as if showing off: "God, I really want to hug him and kiss him, do you know? He brought me a whole box of Cuban cigars. When I went to the meeting yesterday, guess what did you see? A green look." The officers took the cigars happily, and Bingwen was amused by him. As the North Sea blockade became increasingly tight, Germany could no longer obtain the luxury of Cuban cigars, so a whole box of top-quality cigars, let alone officer Seedlitz, I'm afraid even William II would be jealous and crazy.

But where did this box of cigars come in?

"France." Hakan looked at everyone, his tone was a little low, because the box of cigars was sent to him by Yang Qiu, a labor representative to France, who was sent to Germany by the Swiss route.

"terribly sorry."

"Sorry? No. This has nothing to do with you. From the beginning, each of us Germans was ready to fight alone! Besides, I would do that, for the sake of national interests." Hakan shook his hand, picked up a cigar and placed it under his nose to enjoy the smell of tobacco, and took a deep breath: "I just hope I don't see him on the battlefield."

The issue of sending labor to France has been circulating in Europe. While Germany was in an uproar, the Allies were excited and thought it was a sign of China's dispatch of troops to Europe. So Bingwen didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't want Yang Qiu to announce his official participation in the war, because once the domestic declaration of war on the alliance, they would definitely take off their military uniforms. For him who was eager to train himself through more naval battles, he saluted and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered the country's urgent telegram and turned his head to patrol everyone.

Hakan saw that he had something to say, waved his hand to disband the meeting and closed the door actively: "Is there anything to say to me?"

Bingwen's eyelids twitched. He didn't know why Yang Qiu had such a speculation, because Germany was very strict in password management, but he still said: "Captain, there is something I think is very strange. How could the British know that we were going to the Dogel Sand? If it was a chance encounter, why would four battlecruisers appear at once and include the latest Tiger? Is the British Navy so extravagant that the Tiger Battlecruiser is responsible for daily patrol missions? Are you not worried about our submarines?"

The words made Hakan, who was preparing to light a cigar, suddenly shocked. This behavior made Bingwen secretly relieved. He could see that Yang Qiu had responded to what he had asked for. He continued: "If possible, I hope you can suggest that the Admiralty Department check the radio, and it is best to find a way to pay attention to whether the lost telegraph and password book are still complete."

Hakan sat down thoughtfully. In fact, he had similar suspicions after Dogel's sandbank, thinking that spies had appeared inside, but now Bingwen's words brought another possibility. Radio loss! This is not impossible. Since the war started, Germany has lost many warships, and some of them have been left in the shallow sea area. If the password book is not destroyed in time, it is very easy to be salvaged by divers.

This matter is not small. If this situation really occurs, it means that all actions of the German Navy have been monitored by the British. Of course, the Commander will not believe it by just unreasonable speculation, and must take a targeted tentative action to analyze it. Bingwen also knew that it could not be based on speculation alone, and suggested: "Captain, can you convince the Navy to send a light cruiser to attack once, but use the main ship call code to test it?"

This suggestion made Hakan quite interested. His Majesty William and the Commander recently developed some negative thoughts on ship protection. There was no good opportunity to let the main ship operate, but it might be possible to attack with a light cruiser. "I will report to General Schell." After saying that, his eyebrows gradually dissipated and lit a cigar and suddenly asked: "I heard that Yang was preparing to assemble two battle cruisers using American accessories, why not build them yourself?"

When the first two large Anhai-class cruisers were laid keels in the US at the same time and accelerated construction, European countries were jealous. Even British newspapers publicly said that the United States took advantage of the opportunity that Britain could not escape and poached their interests from the Far East. Bingwen and the Chinese navy in Europe were both envious and secretly despised the United States' blackmail, because the cost of these four cruisers could fully build 5 to 6 Germany's latest Markensson-class battlecruisers!

He said: "You should know that our country has no experience in building a main ship, even if it has experience, it is lacking in equipment."

Hakan, who has been in the Far East for several years, is actually very clear about the current industrial strength and level of Yang Qiu's hands. Even Japan, which claims to have squeezed into Europe and the United States, must rely on the UK to provide main equipment to complete the construction of the King Kong-level. So after thinking about it, he quietly took out a piece of information from the drawer and handed it to Bingwen: "The betrayed lover in our country (after Italy joined the alliance, Germany publicly called him the betrayed lover) has made a fortune recently."

After Bingwen took the information, his eyes suddenly became straight!

Capoleto! Italy actually occupied Capoleto three days ago!! Bingwen is no longer a naval rookie. His crazy learning allows him to memorize even the current European and American motorboat models. So when he heard this place name, he immediately had words such as Austro-Hungary's third-largest "CNT Shipyard", "monarch-class battleship (joint strength class, European monarch-class), "battleship designer", "German metric standards" and other words.

"I know, Yang has other tasks for you. But I'm not helping you. I just think that those things will insult them when they fall into the hands of Italians! Please tell Yang that women in war need not love, but bread the most!" Hakan made a funny example. Looking at his blinking eyes, a burst of ecstasy rushed into Bingwen's mind.

He was indeed right. The officers and students of the Youth Association who came to Europe to study had their own tasks. In addition to studying hard, they were also the eyes and ears of China's observation and understanding of Europe. Among them, Bingwen, Liu Mingzhao and Zhang Cai, three officials of the Youth Association in Germany, were also responsible for helping the country collect all the skills and talents needed.

Bingwen is learning from the Navy, and what he is responsible for is also related to naval shipbuilding. For example, as the first battlecruiser keel is about to be laid in China, the shipbuilding industry is about to take off. There is still no set of machine tools and heat treatment beds needed to build large warships, so the country has been hoping to get a set of large shipbuilding equipment recently, even second-hand goods are fine.

Especially large shipbuilding machines that are hundreds of meters long and the same huge heat treatment furnace are the most difficult problems that limit the domestic naval industry. Moreover, since they must match the equipment introduced before, they can only use metric equipment! That is to say, British, French and Russian equipment that adopts the British standard cannot be used even if it is transported back. Germany not only has a lot of such equipment, but also with the shortage of resources, many of the shipbuilding industry are gradually abandoned and idle. The problem is that they will never sell these treasures unless they are defeated in the war.

But now this information from Hakan gives you a chance!!

No matter how the Italian army, which was nicknamed "noodles" by Europe, took Capoleto, he thought that Italy could not eat a shipyard, and even if it could be eaten, it was useless because they used the British system. It could be completely used to contact Italy to buy the equipment in the CNT shipyard. Moreover, the Mediterranean is still open, and labor ships sent to France in China can also bring the equipment back immediately

What’s even happier is that Hakan has pointed out the direction, and Italy has been in a serious food shortage in recent years!

"I'll go to see General Scher now, I hope your guess is not true! I don't want to wear the Blue Marx Medal for you." Hakan said this very seriously. If the password is finally confirmed to be true, it will undoubtedly save the entire German Navy fleet! So let alone a shipyard that needs to pay, it is very worth it even if Germany provides it free of charge. A pass was thrown out and continued: "Take this, go from here to Austria and go all the way. You only have 3 weeks off, and I will kick you off my warship myself when you are late!"

Bingwen saluted excitedly. He knew that Hakan did this just for Yang Qiu's bold speculation and gave the alliance a little disgusting, because France also fell in love with the CNL shipyard and wanted to convince Italy to hand over the factory to France. Although it still needs to be used to get it from the eyes of France, it has brought a glimmer of hope to the domestic naval shipbuilding industry in trouble.
