(Kneel, kneel, kneel)
An Iwa-class battleship with a displacement of more than 55,000 tons was renamed Shanhaiguan, and a Bismarck-class battleship with a displacement of about 51,000 tons was renamed Yanmenguan.
In addition, there were two Hipper Admiral class heavy cruisers with a displacement of 14,000 tons, four Allen Sumner-class destroyer, and four Little Shark-class submarines.
A total of 12 ships of various types formed the first squadron of the Great Wall Defense Army, with a total displacement of 160,000 tons.
After the simple but memorable ceremony, the not-so-large fleet began its voyage amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums.
They would leave the Bohai Sea, enter the Yellow Sea, and finally reach the South Sea. They would travel all over the coastline of China. On one hand, it was to intimidate the powers, and on the other hand, it was to motivate and attract the people.
Especially the two battleships, anyone who saw them would be suspicious."What a big thing. China actually has such a powerful warship?”
In fact, there was no need for the First Fleet to announce their existence. The moment she appeared on the surface of the sea, the superpowers noticed her.

"Baka, when did Zhongxia learn how to build ships? And the warship that was built was even larger than the Empire's?”
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for the Chinese to build such a huge battleship with their industrial technology. I think it is very likely that they bought it from the British white-skinned man.”
"It's very likely. In the current world, only Great Britain has the ability to build tens of thousands of advanced battleships.”
"Damn those white-skinned British bastards. They actually sold this kind of main-force battleship to the Chinese. Aren't they afraid that China will become the master of the ship after they master the technology?”
" I think that the Imperium should increase its efforts in building battleships and developing more powerful naval armaments to maintain its naval advantage against China.”
In the royal palace, the emperor and his ministers stared at the photos sent back by the overseas Chinese. They were shocked and angry, denouncing the British white-skinned man for violating the treaty that banned the sale of warships to China signed decades ago.
British Empire
" F * ck, Zhongxia definitely doesn't have the ability to build their own battleships. I'm sure that it was the work of that unfilial son, Mei Lijian. That despicable traitor actually secretly wanted to master a technology that was more advanced than the Imperium's.”
" No. We have to speed up the development of new battleships to maintain the Imperium's dominance and interests in the world.”
Beautiful and strong country
"Sh * t, those sons of b * tches of the Germans. I've long heard that they have a good relationship with the Central Xia Guard Army regime and have provided a large amount of equipment and technology. I didn't expect them to play such a trick.”
Woodrow, the president of America, slammed the table and roared. He was smart and saw through Germany's conspiracy at a glance.
It was very simple: the German army was ambitious. Since their own country was not allowed to build large warships, they went to Zhongxia and secretly built them in the name of the Chinese warlords. In name, they were the warships of Zhongxia, but in fact, they were secretly controlling them.
Because China did not have the ability to develop and maintain such a large warship, it was impossible for them to do so without the help of the Germans. That was why the group of Germans did this, not afraid of backstabbing.
Deutsche
The authorities were currently in a terrible state due to the loss of war reparations and the collapse of the domestic economy. They had completely lost their ambition to dominate the world.
However, there was a small figure who was staring at the warship in the picture, his eyes shining.
"Battle Fortress-class Battleship Mountain, what a perfect name. This battleship is exactly like its name.”
" Look, what a beautiful lady from Central Xia. This is exactly the powerful warship that we Germans need. Unfortunately, those idiots…"
"No, I have to go to Tianjin as soon as possible to discuss something. What's that person's name again? Ah, right, Lin Shu."
Lin Shu did not know that he was being remembered by many big shots. After the establishment ceremony of the First Fleet, he rushed to the new factory more than ten kilometers away.
The factory wasn't completed yet. It was simply surrounded by three walls and a few seven-story residential buildings.
It was a one-to-one replica of the system warship factory a few kilometers away. It occupied an area of five square kilometers, including a large power station, three shipyards, ten accommodation buildings, and two research laboratories.
This was not a small project. In order to replicate this factory, Lin Shu directly approved the investment of 5 million US dollars.
But it was probably far from enough.
Fortunately, the Big Tree Group's ability to make money was quite terrifying and was still improving rapidly. Otherwise, Lin Shu would not dare to play like this.
Today was the day the shipbuilding company was established. At this moment, the temporary high platform was already surrounded by workers.
This included 10,000 talents summoned by the system and a large number of workers recruited from the public. Other than a small number of people with relevant experience, the rest were all teenagers between the ages of 16 and 26.
Although they were not very cultured, they had the age advantage. It was easier for them to accept it, and the difficulty was lower, so their progress was faster.
Lin Shu stood on the high platform and smiled as he glanced at everyone.
" I hereby announce that the Big Tree First Warship Production and Research Company is officially established. I hope that you will work hard in research and development, study hard, and strive to produce better warships as soon as possible.”
"Pa, pa, pa…"
The warm applause rang out for a long time. Everyone stared at the young man on the stage with fanatical reverence.
Lin Shu smiled and pressed his hand down to silence the scene.
"In order to make the navy of China rise as soon as possible and to free China from the blackmail of the giant warships and cannons of the foreign powers, the First Fleet was established today. I've prepared one for each of the battleships in there.”
"The factory is estimated to be completed in three months. Your first task is to dismantle those warships into parts, understand the working principle and function of each part, and then put them back together.”
" It doesn't matter if it's broken. I know that the foundation of our warship construction is too poor, so you can bring up any difficulties you encounter. If you lack money, you can give it to us. If you lack manpower, we can give it to you. If you lack a warship prototype, we can give it to you.”
"If you say that you don't have enough steel, I'll give you steel. If you can't refine special steel, I'll bring in equipment to refine special steel. If you say that the equipment to refine special steel can be replicated, I can still think of a way.”
"If you can't do it, just tell me. I'll think of a way to introduce a production line for you, but after that, you have to be able to build the production line on your own.”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison. Their voices were loud and clear. With such an unreserved support from the Bureau Chief, how could they not work hard?
