The resettlement work has temporarily been on track when these students and instructors arrive, but the language problem still needs to be solved as soon as possible. Otherwise, these Germans will not be able to live normally in this strange country. Even if they have set up positions, communication with Chinese colleagues is also urgent.

If we go on for a long time, these Germans will feel rejected. They came from Europe thousands of miles away to the strange East. It is obvious that unfamiliar environments make people feel lonely. It is better if the time is short. Over time, the Germans and the Chinese will naturally be divided into two distinct factions. This result is something that Fang Zida absolutely does not want to see.

He needs these Germans, whether technical workers, engineers, officers and scientists, to get along with their Chinese colleagues in a short time, eliminate the influence of skin color and race, and become a driving force for the country to develop. Therefore, solving this problem as soon as possible is the top priority. Fang Zida even hopes that in the near future, a large number of these high-quality Germans can become Chinese nationals and thus become a member of the Chinese nation.

In this regard, when the resettlement work was in progress, Fang Zida put this matter first. Taking advantage of the opportunity of these personnel having more than half a month of transition period, he opened intensive Chinese training classes at resettlement locations, and called teachers who knew German from all over the place to teach these Germans. Not to mention anything else, at least the time should be allowed to learn some daily language, so that they can achieve simple communication.

In addition, in addition to research institutions and slightly better in the military, other enterprises have also opened German training classes to allow Chinese workers, technicians, etc. to learn some German in the future. Taking a two-pronged approach, if you have these foundations at that time, the integration between the two sides will become much easier.

With the arrival of a group of Germans, this procedure gradually became a formal rule. Until the end of the year, the government focused almost most of its energy on it. It was not until the first batch of Germans took their posts one after another and began to work with their Chinese colleagues that the intensity of this work gradually weakened.

December 31, 1919 was the last day of the year, and it happened to be the last batch of people coming from Europe to China. Since then, all the large number of German personnel recruited by China were in place, and with the arrival of the personnel, a large number of dismantled factories, equipment and other materials were transported from Europe.

Several major industrial cities under Fang Zida's plan also started construction a few months ago. If everything goes well, part of the investment will be made around May next year. Such a fast speed is thanks to some skilled and serious German personnel. With their help and the efforts of the Chinese, whenever the materials arrive at the port, they will be transported to the purpose according to the plan that had been made long ago. Then they will be installed, maintained, maintained, and debugged... Among them, Chinese technicians have gained great knowledge. You must know that although some people have worked in foreigners or other factories in the past, they always hide the foreign technicians hired by the factory in terms of technology. There is no other way to learn anything but secretly learn or rely on their own exploration. Now these German technicians are all superb in craftsmanship and are willing to teach them all, which makes Chinese workers ecstatic.

In addition to personnel and materials (including factories and equipment), Germany's high seas fleet negotiations also achieved results. As Western countries were worried that China's naval strength would break the balance of the Far East marine forces after purchasing high seas fleet warships. Moreover, Japan was making excuses from it, China eventually obtained fewer ships than expected.

Moreover, under the suppression of various countries, the German High Seas Fleet did not give a single battleship to China. You should know that in the Battle of Jutland, the British Navy, known as the world's first navy, actually lost to the German High Seas Fleet in this great naval battle that shocked the world. The loss ratio of both sides reached the level of Germany 1 to Britain 2. Although the German High Seas Fleet was blocked in the port by the British in the later period, this was caused by the wrong command post of German Emperor William. It does not mean the gap between the strength of the German High Seas Fleet and the fleet. Therefore, the ships of the German High Seas Fleet were no less than the most advanced British Royal Navy in terms of design and firepower.

In this case, once the Chinese fully accept the German high seas fleet, or even only receive some of the elite warships of the high seas fleet, the threat to the Japanese navy is extremely great. How could the Japanese want to see China appear again a more threatening navy than the Beiyang Navy? So it is certain to block it, and Western countries also have their own plans and do not want to see a powerful navy appear in the Far East, because this will also lead to the damage of their interests in the Far East.

After arduous negotiations, the Chinese government finally obtained only one Moltke battlecruiser, three light cruisers, three destroyers and five torpedo boats. Among them, the Moltke was compensated because of the restriction of China's acquisition of battleships. According to the decision of the Allies, they originally planned to give several ironclad ships to China, but they were rejected by Fang Zida. Some of these ironclad ships have reached the retirement time, and some are still much behind in the ship's requirements. After they come, they can only be used as waste products and will not be of much use at all.

Although the Chinese Navy Department was very dissatisfied with this result, Fang Zida felt that it was just right. These ships were only suitable for the current situation of the Chinese Navy, and the military strength they formed was just a fleet, which would not cause excessive concern to the Japanese. Furthermore, Fang Zida, who is familiar with the history of future naval development, knew clearly that in the future, battleships will gradually withdraw from the ocean stage, and the era of aircraft carriers, submarines, etc. will be dominated by the ocean will soon be gone.

After receiving these ships, the Chinese government departed back to China in the shortest time. Not only the Chinese Navy, but also some German naval officers who came to China, even non-commissioned officers and technicians. All countries were coveting the essence of the remaining high seas fleet, especially those advanced emperor-level, king-level, Bavarian-level battleships, and wished they could all be taken for their own use. After several days of quarrel, the Allies finally came up with a sharing plan, which was very happy.

But the turning point after the incident left the Allied countries stunned. Just when the Allied countries were planning to divide the high seas fleet, the German high seas fleet had all sunk in Scapa Bay, England. This operation was called "Operation Rainbow" within the German Navy. Except for the few ships that had been accepted by the Chinese government and left Europe, nearly 40 other battleships, battlecruisers, cruisers, and destroyers were all sunk in Scapa Bay.

The chickens were not allowed to lose rice. After receiving the news that the German high seas fleet sank, the faces of various countries looked ugly as if they were dead. Especially the unlucky Japanese, they finally got promises from the British that they would divide two battleships from the high seas fleet, but when the chickens beat the eggs and flew away, everything was gone.

These have nothing to do with the Chinese. The Chinese government returned with a lot of harvest. When the news reached China, Fang Zida was so happy that he laughed. The naval executives who were regretful of being suppressed by the agreement were also happy and swept away their previous sorrows.

As the work in Europe was almost done, the European Expeditionary Force began to return to China one after another. After receiving the order to return, Feng Guozheng returned with the second batch of personnel. In addition to leaving a division of troops, at the end of 1919, the Expeditionary Force basically returned to China.

After Feng Guoxing returned to China, he stepped down as commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force and took over as deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters and commander of the Guangzhou Military Region. At the same time, several other military regions were officially established, among which Wu Peifu became the commander of the Zhili Military Region unscrupulously and also served as deputy chief of staff. This time, the establishment of the military region officially announced that the central government would strengthen its control over the army and the local area, and together with the establishment of the military region, the work of reserve, the second reorganization of the National Defense Forces and the reconstruction of local troops was carried out.

Most of the expeditionary forces returned to China, and the negotiations in Europe continued. But Fang Zida had been prepared for the breakdown of the negotiations, and even Cao Rulin was recruited by him early, and Europe only left some middle-level personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice to talk to various countries.

In mid-December, the final negotiation result came out. France used harsh conditions to tinker with a "Versailles Contract". The content of the contract not only divided part of Germany's territory, restricted its military development, but also required the German government to pay 13 billion pounds of war reparations, and clearly stipulated that it must be paid in gold, and there were also requirements for the trial of war criminals. This contract almost pushed Germany into the abyss. Although the German Provisional Government temporarily refused to sign the contract under domestic pressure, the pressure and ultimatum of the Allies also made them unable to make a decision. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time for the Germans to sign the contract. From then on, the powerful Germany will be forced to wear heavy shackles and bear extremely humiliation.

In Paris, in response to the post-war situation, the Allies held a meeting of various countries known as the Paris Peace Conference in order to resolve the problems caused by the war and to establish post-war peace. In fact, it is a meeting to seize interests and divide the spoils of power. Fang Zida was not very interested in this meeting, because no country would give China too much interests and status. As a weak country, it would not be of much use in such a so-called soybean occasion. Fang Zida instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to only try his best to win interests for the Chinese government. As for other things, it should not be too much considered. If the peace would harm China's interests, the government authorized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not to sign the peace conference or directly withdraw from the peace conference.
