Starting from the footbath, Mainz planned to go to southern Guangdong. He wanted to see the situation of the revolutionary army in the south.
After experiencing several failures, Sun Zhongshan realized that if he wanted to implement the republic in his mind, he had to have an army. The warlords who had previously joined forces with him all had their own small calculations and carried the army with them. Those who speculate for their own personal interests are not true revolutionaries, they are just speculators at best!
It was precisely because of the vacillating stance of these speculators that previous movements failed.
Sun Guofu learned from the painful experience and decided to work hard to create his own army in the south. However, if he wanted to create an army, he must have his own military academy.
The revolutionaries are good at rebelling, but they have little experience in practical work. They have never done anything like military academies, so they have no experience at all.
Originally, in 1920, Sun Yat-sen wanted to establish a military academy belonging to the revolutionary army in the Huangpu area, but they lacked the ability to do it.
So, this matter has been postponed again and again, until now!
During this process, the revolutionaries sent requests to Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang, hoping that these two Western powers could help them establish their own military academies.
However, these two powers know very well that if the revolutionaries are really allowed to build the general academy, the combat effectiveness of the army in the hands of the revolutionaries will be greatly improved. By then, the revolutionaries may be able to unify the whole country. Strength!
This situation is not what they want to see. Both countries hope to see a divided and chaotic China and do not want a unified political power in China, so they naturally rejected the revolutionaries' request.
The revolutionaries were now at their wits end. They originally planned to send people to the Footpot to see if they could get support from the Footpot people. After all, during the revolution, many of them had studied abroad in the Footpot and were more familiar with the Footpot. familiar.
Just as they were preparing to take action, Hans's delegation came to visit the Celestial Empire.
If it were just a general diplomatic mission, it would have no impact on their plan, but Hans's delegation not only included diplomatic envoys, but also a large number of military officers and staff officers, and even Hans's commander-in-chief was there. Among them, this gave the revolutionaries a sudden thought: Can they ask the Hans to help them build their own military academy?
With this expectation in mind, the revolutionaries sent an invitation to the returning Hans delegation to visit Yangcheng.
After receiving the invitation, Mainz originally planned to go there for a visit, but on his way back he received an urgent telegram from Hamburg. President Hindenburg did not reveal much in the telegram, but only asked him to return home as soon as possible.
Mainz didn't know what was going on in Hans' country, but to make President Hindenburg so nervous, something big must have happened!
Under such circumstances, he certainly had no time to visit the revolutionary government.
However, Mainz did not refuse the request of the revolutionary government.
Based on the rules and regulations for the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations, and combined with the rules and regulations of the major military academies in Hans, he wrote a simplified version of the proposal text to Sun Guofu. According to this text, they should be able to establish the Whampoa Military Academy in advance.
However, because the text is imperfect, Mainz doesn't know whether it can reach the heights it has in history.
However, Hans is much better than Mao Xiong at the military academy. In addition, this is something he wrote in his own hand, so it should be better than the Whampoa Military Academy supported by Mao Xiong, so it is difficult to predict the outcome!
After doing this, the United States did not stop, but went directly south, preparing to go to the Asan Ocean through the Strait of Malacca, and then from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea.
Mainz's plan was quite good, but the old battleship Zalingen, which served as the escort, had a mechanical failure and had some problems with its power and needed to be docked for repairs.
There is a lack of large-scale shipyards in the Far East to repair this old antique, so the Hans delegation had to dock at Lijiapo Port, where the sun never sets, and prepare to hire a tugboat here to tow the old battleship back!
The battleship Zalingen is currently the only old-fashioned battleship in Hans' country. The last time it destroyed other battleships, this battleship escaped because it was seized by the French army and was not returned to Hans.
Considering that this battleship was less than 20 years old and the training of German sailors also required equipment, Mainz did not dismantle her, but kept her. This time when she visited the Far East, she used this only A battleship was pulled out as a bodyguard to perform escort missions!
Unexpectedly, before the mission was over, the battleship Zalingen itself had a problem. If I had known this, it would be better not to take her with me!
"Haha, these poor Hans people actually brought such an old antique ship out to escort them. It was really embarrassing for them!"
"Yes, the high seas fleet was so powerful in the past. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful this fleet is, it is still no match for our Imperial Royal Navy, where the sun never sets!"
After receiving Hans's docking application, the Sun Never Sets people did not refuse, but agreed.
Of course, when they saw Hans people sailing with such an old pre-dreadnought ship, the Sun Never Sets people The ridicule in my heart is indispensable!
Speaking of which, the Hans' high seas fleet brought huge pressure to them, and the shipbuilding frenzy between the two countries once overwhelmed the Sun Never Sets Empire! In the naval battle, although they clearly had the advantage in strength, the losses were greater than that of Hans. This also caused a big shock to the Empire on which the sun never sets. At least the Royal Navy did not dare to underestimate the opponent of the High Seas Fleet from top to bottom!
However, no matter how powerful the High Seas Fleet is, it is nothing more than a fleeting flash in the pan. It is fleeting, just like those challengers that rose rapidly and declined quickly in the long history. They did not bring fatal consequences to the Royal Navy. Threat!
Therefore, at this time, the Royal Navy can look at these former opponents with the attitude of victors, and by the way, make a few jokes about the current decline of their former opponents.
"General, let me teach those guys a lesson!"
After hearing the taunts of the admirals, the young naval commander Dönitz couldn't help it!
Indeed, Hans's navy is indeed in a very poor state now. They only have one battleship, one light cruiser and The total tonnage of 6 torpedo boats is less than 20,000, and the number of people is only 5,000! Such a scale and strength are completely unparalleled in the world, let alone a world like the Royal Navy. Compared with the number one navy!
So the Sun Never Sets people do have the capital to ridicule them. However, as a once glorious army, Dönitz has always had the dream of a big navy in his heart. He can't stand the Sun Never Sets. The person showed such blatant contempt and ridicule, so I wanted to use my fists to teach the other person a lesson and make the other person remember it longer.
"There's no need to be so excited. If they like to mock, just let them mock. We go our own way and don't care about other people's opinions!"
Mainz glanced at General Sun Never Set not far away, and did not take these people's words to heart at all.
The Sun Never Sets people were mocking Hans Navy at this time, and they didn't know if they would still be able to laugh by this time next year. Can you get it out?
Mainz knows better than anyone that by this time next year, the great powers will gather in Washington City, the capital of Eagle City, to sign a Washington City Naval Treaty. This treaty will greatly restrict all countries. The arms race caused dozens of battleships from various countries to be strangled on the slipway!
It was gratifying that Hans' high seas fleet was completely wiped out, but tens of battleships were strangled on the slipway before the sun set. Their losses were nothing. No less than Hans!
I don't know how people will feel when the sun never sets, but Mainz is very interested!
