After seeing the launch of the new ship, everyone was arranged to visit the shipyard. Although it was just a quick walk, it also made the revolutionaries feel worthwhile. There are 11 warships in the shipyard now. In addition to the newly launched ship, there are also a battleship in the dock, an armored cruiser is outfitted by the dock, and there are 2 Dongchang-class protective cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 4 patrol boats on the platform.

Although most of them are small and medium-sized warships, the revolutionaries still amazed. Whether it is large ships or small ships, they are basically mechanical construction, at least mechanical assistance, and it is indeed a modern shipyard.

What was even more shocking was that Shizuo Hirayama and Miyazaki Tomoto. They had a deeper understanding of industrialization than revolutionaries. Japan was a country that attached great importance to the navy. Both of them had been to Japan's shipyards. They felt that the technical and equipment level of Japanese shipyards seemed to be no better than this shipyard. Although the machinery and equipment used by Qingdao shipyards were purchased from Germany, Japan could not produce the machinery and equipment itself now, and all had to be imported from the UK. Therefore, in this regard, both sides were actually half a dozen. However, it only took three years for overseas Chinese to enter Qingdao to build a modern shipyard. If they were given 5 years or 10 years, what would it develop?

Of course, the two of them didn't know that although they introduced foreign machinery and equipment at the same time, Japan and the United Kingdom had a general commercial trade relationship, and the United Kingdom would not buy their best machinery and equipment to Japan, and they would also keep a hand in the technical guidance of Japan. Therefore, Japan has always been about 5 years behind the United Kingdom in terms of technology, while the East China government uses its own military technology to trade with Germany. Germany dare not cheat the East China government like Britain cheated Japan. The machinery and equipment are used in Germany properly, and the technical guidance is unreserved, which made Qingdao Shipyard a shipyard that reached a higher technical level in this era in a short period of time.

At noon, everyone was having lunch in the canteen of the shipyard. In fact, the food in the shipyard was very rich, with erectile vegetarian and one bowl of soup, rice and steamed buns, and the average family in this era could not eat such a meal.

The revolutionaries didn't care, but they just sat around three tables, eating and talking about what they saw and heard in the shipyard. Huang Xing said: "If the overseas Chinese had come a few years ago, China would not have been defeated so miserably in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895."

Everyone nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but the two Japanese looked a little embarrassed. Chen Tianhua said: "If overseas Chinese can build such a powerful warship, it can be seen that their military strength is not bad, and they occupy such a favorable terrain in Shandong, why don't they just raise the flag and advance northward, attack the capital, and overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but they still have to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty in the famous discussion."

Xu Xilin also said: "Yes, if we had such a powerful force, we had been practicing righteousness for a long time, and we might have overthrew the Qing Dynasty."

Huang Xing shook his head and said, "There are naturally their reasons for doing this. Perhaps it is to wait for the opportunity, but it is unknown."

Chen Tianhua said: "What opportunity do they have to wait for? China is so destructive, which is all because of the incompetent rule of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty survives for one day and then harms China for one day. It should be overthrown as soon as possible. What's more, the current power of overseas Chinese is enough to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Do overseas Chinese still have fantasies about the new policy introduced by the Qing Dynasty?"

Ma Junwu shook his head repeatedly and said, "How could it be? With the wisdom of overseas Chinese, how could he not see that the so-called new policy of the Qing Dynasty was actually just a deception of the world and himself. Besides, Mr. Xia did not say that the goal of overseas Chinese was to establish a republic, and even if the new policy of the Qing Dynasty was real, it was a constitutionalism, which was completely incompatible with overseas Chinese."

Huang Xing laughed and said, "Startair, you don't have to worry. When we meet with overseas Chinese, it's not too late to ask them again. I think they should give us a satisfactory answer."

Zhu Zhixin also said: "Yes, haven't overseas Chinese arranged for us for three days to visit? In these three days, we might as well see more of the governance achievements of overseas Chinese, and it's not too late to discuss other things."

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua didn't say anything else.

After lunch, everyone visited steel mills, textile factories, and supermarkets in the afternoon. Of course, the East China government has the intention to make this arrangement. Shipyards and steel mills represent the level of heavy industry, and shipyards can also represent the military industry, while textile mills represent the light industry, supermarkets are just in the retail industry, and supermarkets are also private enterprises. It can be said that these factories and enterprises are the basic components of modern society.

Although the revolutionaries only made a quick splash in these places, they still had a new understanding of the governance capabilities of the East China government. This is basically the prototype of a civilized society.

Some people also noticed that in these factories and enterprises, there are still a large number of female workers. In textile factories, the number of female workers even accounts for more than 70%, while in supermarkets, the number of female workers exceeds half.

The East China government has always attached importance to the work of liberating women and improving women's social status. Of course, this is not just a slogan or purely political consideration, but has considerable social and economic value. Because liberating women and allowing women to fully participate in social labor can greatly increase the number of labor and improve labor efficiency, because some jobs such as the textile industry and service industry, women are indeed more competent than men, and at the same time, they can also play a role in regulating the working atmosphere. If the combination of men and women is not tiring to work. Because of the current insufficient population of the East China government, liberating women is of great practical significance.

Of course, the concept of hundreds of years is not so easy to change, and the customs of the Shandong region are relatively conservative. However, time travelers have established great prestige in the hearts of the people through military achievements and land reform. Therefore, ordinary people generally dare not easily disobey the policies formulated by time travelers, but there are still criticisms in private.

However, time travelers are all pragmatic people. They know that liberating women and improving their social status cannot be solved by administrative orders. More importantly, they must improve women's economic independence. After all, the economic foundation can determine the superstructure. Nowadays, the average salary of female workers in factories is around 2 silver dollars, which is not as good as that of male workers, but in this era, it is already quite good income. Women have income and subsidies for household income, which is easy for society to accept by men. Women have their own jobs and can achieve economic independence. The status of their families and society is naturally different. The East China government has its own policies to improve women's status, such as freedom of marriage, equality between men and women, etc., which is easier to implement.

This set of theoretical discussions also made the revolutionaries nod. In fact, these people have come into contact with some new ideas, which support the liberation of women and the improvement of women's status. Because Qiu Jin is a woman herself and is deeply harmed by feudal arranged marriages, her marriage with her husband Wang Tingjun is a typical "parents' orders and matchmakers' words". Although Qiu Jin now has a son and a daughter with her husband, the couple's personality, ambitions and thoughts are completely different, and they are even at the point of frequent quarrels. The next time Qiu Jin went to Japan, he escaped from the Wang family with the support of someone. After Japan joined the revolution, Qiu Jin also launched a propaganda and movement to improve the status of women. However, the main actions were limited to writing articles to call on women to be self-reliant, or organizing a small number of women to establish groups aimed at promoting women's movement. This set of theoretical and practical actions by the East China government made Qiu Jin realize that although his previous actions could not be said to be useless, they could only be considered as a subtle, so he felt a sudden sense of spike.

It can be said that the first day of visit made the revolutionaries feel worthwhile. After returning to the hotel, everyone discussed what they saw today, and they were representatives of Huang Xing and several other delegations gathered together and discussed until late at night.

The projects visited the next day were schools and military camps. The East China government has always attached importance to education, and the Hope School founded has also been on track and carried out systematic teaching. Of course, short-term education classes have also been retained to meet the needs of different levels. In addition, the two universities founded by the East China government have also started, with more than 100 students each.

All schools adopt a mixed system for men and women, and both men and women can enjoy the same level of educational resources. Moreover, this is of great significance to improving women's social status. After all, education is also a manifestation of improving social status. This coincides with Qiu Jin's idea.

However, for Huang Xing, Chen Tianhua, Xu Xilin and others, they are more interested in visiting the military camp. After all, they have heard of the brilliant achievements of overseas Chinese before, so they naturally want to see what outstanding features of overseas Chinese army are.

Everyone visited the dormitory, canteen, activity room and other places in the military camp. Everyone was a little confused about the meaning, but Huang Xing studied military affairs in Japan. Of course, although these small details are inconspicuous, they reflect the military appearance, military discipline, spiritual outlook and other factors of the army. These are also manifestations of combat effectiveness. Therefore, you can also see some of the extraordinary appearances from it.

Of course, since I came to the military camp, I had to visit the military training. However, the military camp did not deliberately arrange training performances, but instead brought them to the training ground to let them watch normal military training.
