The south was too busy to take care of itself, so naturally there was no energy to make trouble for the East China government. And at this time, news came from the northwest that several real power figures in Xinjiang, Xinjiang Governor He Yansheng, Xinjiang Governor Wei Guangtao, Xinjiang Administrator Yang Zengxin, Yili General Guangfu and others have jointly sent people to contact the East China government, hoping to negotiate with the East China government to surrender.

In fact, when the East China Government first occupied Gansu, it had negotiated with these real power figures in Xinjiang. However, at that time, the purpose of these real power figures in Xinjiang was to join the East China Government in the famous discussion, but in fact it was maintained independence and to separatist the side in Xinjiang. In this way, the differences between the two sides were almost irreconcilable. At that time, the East China Government had no plan to use troops in Xinjiang, so it terminated the negotiations with Xinjiang and focused on dealing with Gansu and Qinghai. These real power figures in Xinjiang were also observing the changes in the current situation.

However, the East China Government annihilated the Sanma Group in Gansu and Qinghai, which caused a strong shock to Xinjiang's real power figures, because they had high expectations for the Sanma Group and were far superior to Cen Chunxuan. After all, Cen Chunxuan was originally an outsider and had only been in the northwest for a few years. The Sanma Group was not only a local, but also had two generations of operations, which was deeply rooted. Therefore, the Xinjiang's real power figures believed that the Sanma Group could compete with the East China Government for a considerable period of time.

In less than two months, the Sanma Group, which had been operating in the northwest for decades, was completely destroyed. Although there were still many remaining troops to continue to cause trouble, under the strong suppression of the People's Army, controlling the Sanma's remaining troops to a controllable range did not affect the overall situation. It would take a certain amount of time to completely pacify the remaining troops of the Three Horses. Ma Qi, one of the Three Horses, fled to Xinjiang, brought the true feelings of the People's Army to He Yansheng, Wei Guangtao, Yang Zengxin, Guangfu and others. Although Ma Qi did not fight with the People's Army, he had sheltered many Ma Anliang's subordinates, so he also had a good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the People's Army.

After He Yansheng, Wei Guangtao, Yang Zengxin, Guangfu and others understood the situation, they all realized that the power of Xinjiang could not be the opponent of the East China Government. If the East China Government completely pacified the remaining troops of the Sanma and led the troops straight to Xinjiang, their doomsday would come.

At this time, Cen Chunxuan and Ma Qi's nephew Ma Hongbin, who had surrendered to the East China Government, also frequently wrote letters to the real power figures in Xinjiang, warning them to give up their fantasies, negotiate with the East China Government as soon as possible, and submit to the East China Government. He Yansheng, Wei Guangtao, Yang Zengxin, Guangfu and others also understood that it was impossible to insist on separatist parties at this time and maintain independence. They could only accept the conditions of the East China Government. In this way, they could still bargain with the East China Government on the premise of accepting the conditions of the East China Government, and try their best to win some benefits for themselves.

So He Yansheng, Wei Guangtao, Yang Zengxin, Guangfu and others finally realized the reality and began to negotiate seriously with the East China Government. Of course, if they can accept Xinjiang peacefully, it will be a good thing for the East China Government. After all, there is no need to fight. But negotiations are OK, while the principles and bottom lines of the East China Government cannot be concessed.

Of course, this negotiation will not end in a short time, and both sides will have to go through repeated bargaining. However, the East China Government has time now. After all, the removal of the remaining troops of Sanma cannot be completed in a short time, so there is no hurry to arrive.

At this moment, the delegations of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Siam arrived at the East China Government almost all the way. On the one hand, they formally established diplomatic relations with the East China Government and set up consulates with each other; on the other hand, they ordered warships from the East China Government.

There were 8 warships ordered by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, including 2 battleships of 17,000-18,000-ton class, 2 large armored cruisers of 12,000-13,000-ton class, and 4 large 7,000-ton class cruisers. The entire construction cycle is 5 years.

It turned out that after the Ottoman Turkish Empire visited the East China Government and returned to China, the East China Government discussed the formulation of a naval plan for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. First, it was confirmed that the East China Government's formulation of a naval plan for the Ottoman Turkish Empire was indeed reliable and feasible. If implemented according to this plan, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is expected to build a second-rate European navy within 10 years, which is weaker than the English, German, French and Russian navy, roughly equivalent to the Italian and Austrian navy, and stronger than the navy of other European countries.

However, when the club was implemented, there were differences within the Ottoman Turkish Empire, because some people believed that although the plan of the East China Government was good, it had never built more than 13,000 tons of warships. Therefore, it was a bit risky to hand over this plan to the East China Government to complete. It would be better to buy the design of battleships and large armored cruisers from the East China Government and hand them over to European countries for construction. Now the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Britain and Germany have a good relationship. We can ask them to help build it, and hand over the warships below 10,000 tons to the East China Government for construction.

It should be said that this opinion does have a considerable market within the Ottoman Turkish Empire. After all, the largest warship built by the East China Government is only 12,500 tons, and it is indeed not more than 13,000 tons. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire asked Britain and Germany to build warships one after another, but Germany had a large number of warships in construction at this time and had no extra ability to build warships for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Britain had spared no effort, but refused to use the design of the East China Government, and used the British own design, based on the Berlerofon-class or Saint Vincent-class battleships as the model, and made some modifications.

In fact, the main purpose of the UK's approach is to reduce construction costs. Although the Bellerofon-class or St. Vincent-class battleships have not continued to be built, these two types of battleships have not been in service for more than 3 years, so there are still a large number of spare parts for future maintenance. Therefore, if the Bellerofon-class or St. Vincent-class battleships are based on the Bellerofon-class or St. Vincent-class battleships, these spare parts can be used. This will not only save construction time and reduce construction costs, but also require the UK to find a lot of money for later maintenance. The UK's quotation is nearly 50% higher than the quotation of the East China Government.

It is obviously impossible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to accept such conditions. The other two European countries with strong shipbuilding capabilities, France and Italy, have conflicts with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Because it is Italy, it has been peeking at the North African territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and naturally it is impossible to help the Ottoman Turkish Empire build warships. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire still looks down on it. Therefore, in this case, the Ottoman Turkish Empire can only hand over all the orders for shipbuilding warships to the East China Government. At the same time, Germany also assured the Ottoman Turkish Empire that the East China Government has sufficient technical capabilities to build warships of more than 13,000 tons, and Germany can also provide technical support. Please rest assured.

Germany's purpose of doing this is, on the one hand, of course, out of friendly relations with the East China government, so it is naturally necessary to help the East China government stand up at this time; on the other hand, it does not want the Ottoman Turkish Empire to get too close to Britain. Because the Ottoman Turkish Empire to guard the Pusphorus Strait and prevent the Russian Black Sea fleet from entering the Mediterranean, it is very important for Germany. As for the members of Russia's [Four-Country Alliance], Germany naturally wants to prevent the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Britain from getting closer.

Without its choice, the Ottoman Turkish Empire could only accept Germany's guarantee and sent a visiting delegation to Qingdao and the East China government to formally negotiate and negotiate a contract to order a warship.

In fact, the shipbuilding industry has always been a heavy industry that the East China government has focused on developing. It has now been built and put into production of four large shipyards: Qingdao Shipyard, Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, Tianjin Shipyard, and Dalian Jinzhou Shipyard.

The current warship construction capabilities of each shipyard are: Qingdao Shipyard now has two docks for 20,000-ton warships, two docks for 15,000-ton warships, two docks for 10,000-ton warships, and two docks for 10,000-ton warships, and is building a dock that can build 30,000-ton warships;

Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard now has one dock to build 20,000-ton warships, two docks to build 15,000-ton warships, two docks to build 10,000-ton warships, and is building a dock to build 20,000-ton warships;

Tianjin Shipyard now has one dock to build 15,000-ton warships, two docks to build 10,000-ton warships, and two platform platforms to build 10,000-ton warships;

Dalian Jinzhou Shipyard now has a dock to build 10,000-ton warships and two docks to build 10,000-ton warships, and is building a dock to build 10,000-ton warships.

Just in terms of the number of docks and ships, the East China Government can now build 3 warships within 20,000 tons and 4 warships in 15,000 tons at the same time. Moreover, all docks are basically vacant, so they dare to ensure that the warship requirements ordered by the Ottoman Turkish Empire are completed within 5 years. In addition, the East China Government also needs to build its own warships, and it is impossible for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to drag the warships for too long.

Of course, the East China Government did not build more than 13,000 tons of warships at this time, but this is not an insurmountable obstacle. First, with German technical support, Germany has agreed to send 20 engineers to the East China Government to guide construction, and secondly, the East China Government's organic computer assistance can easily calculate various data, and there will be no big problems. In short, what the East China Government lacks now is not technology, but skilled workers and all supporting systems. This is also the main reason why the East China Government's shipbuilding industry can achieve rapid development in 10 years.
