After negotiations between East China **, it was decided to send Luo Yue to Borneo and hand over to Spey.

In fact, East China had been in Borneo for more than a year and had already established a complete administrative system in Borneo. Local officials could handle land transfer with Spee. However, this time, what they had done with Spee was not only the handover of land, but also the division and cooperation of defense. The land exchange had been determined long ago. At this time, it was just to carry out the procedures and follow the process. Defense negotiations were the main ones, so the military had to send people to preside over the negotiations with Spee.

Although Borneo is at the provincial administrative level, and in terms of area, China can rank among the top six in this era, second only to Inner and Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Heilongjiang, and slightly larger than Qinghai, it is an island after all, and as long as it is an island, it belongs to the Marine Corps' garrison. Therefore, Luo Yue came forward to be responsible for the defense negotiations with Spey, which is the most suitable candidate.

In addition, when Luo Yue goes to Borneo this time, he will also choose to determine the location for building the Marine Corps base and training ground on the island. Because the environment and geographical location of Borneo are suitable for the combat environment of the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps will be the main resident and training base in Borneo in the future. Although it will not garrison troops on Borneo on a large scale for the time being, planning and arrangements can be started now.

The fleet visiting Japan is not sure, because according to the Japanese intelligence department's reaction, the Japanese people now have great objections to this warship visit. Not only is it just a fleet visit to the East China **, but also is quite dissatisfied with the US global navigation fleet. It turned out that after the failure of the Far East War, Japan not only regards East China ** as its main enemy, but also dissatisfied with Britain, France, America, Germany and other countries.

Japanese public opinion believes that this Far East War was essentially a fight with Russia and East China for the sake of Britain, France, United States and Germany. However, in the war, Britain, France, United States and Germany did not support Japan enough. Britain, France, United States, and Germany at least sent troops to participate in the war. However, the United States and Germany did not have full support to Japan, but on the contrary, there was much support to East China, and they also took both ends, which led to Japan's defeat. In the negotiations between Japan and East China, countries did not help Japan enough. Britain and France reached an agreement with East China. The United States and Germany not only did not help Japan, but instead persuaded Japan to accept the conditions of East China. As a result, Japan compensated a large amount of compensation.

Moreover, after the war, the United States and Germany fought to invest in the Northeast of East China, which made Japan even more hated. Firstly, in Japan's view, the United States and Germany's investment in the East China was of course a betrayal of Japan; secondly, if Japan won this battle, the Northeast region would all belong to Japan, and then all these investments would be from Japan, which is really jealous.

In fact, these public opinion are passing the blame for Japan's defeat, but this is very consistent with the mentality of the Japanese government and opposition. After all, the defeat in the Far East War was so bad that we always have to find some reasons. Anyway, it cannot be Japan's fault, so we can only push all the mistakes to others. Therefore, Japan did not stop the development of this public opinion, and even some encouragement was secretly.

The Japanese people's reaction was very strong during this visit to the US Global Navigation Fleet. On the one hand, it was because of the previous mentality of trumping the blame. The United States was responsible for Japan's defeat, so they naturally disliked the United States. On the other hand, the "Six Six Fleet" that Japan had accumulated over 10 years of poverty was wiped out in the Far East War. Now the United States actually sent a global Navigation Fleet composed of 17 battleships, which made many Japanese people full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Some people compared this visit to the US Global Navigation Fleet with the "Black Ship Founding Incident" more than 50 years ago. As for the visiting fleet to East China, the Japanese would not have a good face.

In fact, in Japan, many media have called for the cancellation of this visit, at least the fleet visit of East China **. At the same time, the Japanese police have also cracked down on several civil society organizations planning to attack East China ** warships during the fleet's visit.

If it weren't for the Navy that Yamamoto's current Prime Minister, he might have canceled the warship visit first. Even if the US Global Navy visit is not cancelled, the fleet visit of East China will also be cancelled. However, the Japanese Navy has some sense of the overall situation and world concepts. He knows that this naval visit is of great importance to Japan. On the one hand, it is to further strengthen the relations between Japan and the United States, and on the other hand, it is to ease the hatred between Japan and East China. These two points are crucial for Japan to fight for a time for peaceful development and restore post-war vitality.

Under this background, the East China ** sends a fleet to visit Japan, but it cannot be casual. If the fleet sent is large in size and strong in strength, it will easily stimulate Japan; and if a few warships are sent out, it seems too contempt for Japan, it will not be conducive to the East China ** participating in the purpose of this visit. Therefore, the degree of determination really requires careful consideration.

Finally, the Military Commission determined that the fleet visiting Japan would be composed of four warships, Jinan, Tianjin, Qingzhou and Yizhou. These four warships were warships designed and built by East China, two armored cruisers and two large protective cruisers. In the current naval rank of the People's Army, they are both front-line warships and have performed outstandingly in previous wars. This also shows that East China's attention to this visit, but the ones sent out are not battleships, and the main ships such as large armored cruisers will not be too irritating to Japan.

The person in charge of leading the team was Rear Admiral Xia Ruichen. He is now the commander of the armored cruiser team, and he is in charge of four armored cruisers, Chitu, Jueying, Jinan and Tianjin. Since Japan is not far from East China, he does not bring a logistics support ship this time. At the same time, in order to avoid the Nagasaki incident during the Beiyang Navy's visit to Japan in 1886, this visit emphasizes discipline. During the visit, all personnel must stay on the warship except for participating in activities organized by the Japanese side. No one is allowed to settling off the ship without permission without the permission of the officer in charge, and violators will be severely punished.

After these two things, the work of the past few days came to an end. Everyone stood up and left the conference room. Qin Zheng packed up his things and also got up. As soon as he left the conference room door, Gao Shize stood at the door. As soon as he saw him come out, he immediately came up and said, "Old Qin, are you free now? I have something to look for you."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Fortunately, Lao Gao, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Shize looked around and said, "Then let's waste your time and come to my office to talk. It's not very convenient to talk here."

Qin Zheng was also a little funny and said, "Okay, what's going on is so mysterious."

The two of them came to Gao Shize's office. After sitting down, Gao Shize was busy making tea and handing cigarettes again, which seemed very affectionate. Qin Zheng said, "Old Gao, don't be polite. If there is anything, you can talk about it now."

Gao Shize nodded and said, "It's because of my daughter. It's so big that people are still worried."

Qin Zheng said: "You mean Gao Jin. She is very good. She has done a good job in Jinzhou in the past two years, and she has been promoted this time. And last time she made up with her family? I heard that she was back two days ago? Why did you not worry about it?"

Gao Shize sighed and said, "It's okay, and the last time I was convinced, otherwise I don't know when I will make a fuss? I really want to thank you."

Qin Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Old Gao, stop saying this. You thanked me a hundred times. What's the matter for this time?"

Gao Shize said: "It's still the same thing. The last time she had a quarrel with her family was for her lifelong affairs. Although she has done a good job in the past two years, she is almost 36 years old and is still single. Why don't you worry about calling us parents? And you dare not say it in front of her, and you are afraid of getting angry with her."

Qin Zheng said, "This is a problem, but what can I help?"

Gao Shize said: "Of course you can help, otherwise why should I find you? This time she came back, and there was an officer with her, a division commander named Ouyang Longxing. Now his troops are stationed in Jinzhou. Moreover, when my daughter took office in Jinzhou, they worked together for a while and were considered as acquaintances. He came to my house the day before yesterday. It seemed that their relationship was pretty good. My wife and I saw that this young man was a good person, so we also asked about it. He is not married yet and is only two years younger than my daughter, so he is considered suitable for my daughter."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Old Gao! After hearing so many things, you have really put in some effort. Ouyang Longxing! When I was in the Northeast, I saw that people are really good, and they are really big. If you can really become your daughter, it would be really good."

Gao Shize nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, but I have to come out to this matter. We can't come to our house. At least we have to ask that young man first. If he doesn't like my daughter, what if he doesn't like it, I don't want to find that boring. You are also his old boss and are familiar with the Military Commission, so I can only trouble you again."

Qin Zheng said: "I didn't say anything. I dare not say it or not, but I must help with this. I will go to Lao Xiao tomorrow and ask about the situation first. Just wait and believe it."

Gao Shize hurriedly said, "I'm thankful, thank you. I won't ask you to help you in vain. I've collected a few new bottles of good wine from there and I'll send it to you tomorrow."
