What will happen if we go south and get involved in a conflict of interests with Britain and the United States? Meng Xiang had discussed this issue with Fan Chong and others many times before.

Fan Chong and others are not surprised that any country will make a response plan for existing threats and unknown threats.

Even the Americans had early plans for war against Soviet Russia, China, Germany, and even Britain in various colors. Even if Meng Xiang doesn't say it, the staff is also deducing war plans with various countries. What's more, the various intelligence collected by the intelligence department against the United States has already made Fan Chong smell the haze of war between the two sides for a long time.

When the Chinese army moved south, the General Staff was already making long-term considerations.

Although both sides have the same enemy, Japan, what will happen if Britain and the United States are unwilling to back down when the interests of Southeast Asia are involved after the defeat of the Japanese?

Huaxia needs the interests of Nanyang, not just for the sake of rubber.

Whether it is spices, quinine, timber, sugar cane, oil palm, cocoa, coffee, or Nanyang rice, which once occupied 60% of the world's rice trading market, or various fruits such as coconut, banana, pineapple, or Nanyang's famous aromatic crude oil, tin ore, etc., many subtropical and tropical plants and other specialties are needed by China.

If you buy it little by little, you will pay astronomical sums in the future, which is far less convenient than taking it in your own hands.

In the past, these places were all radiation areas of Chinese civilization, and they were once subject countries of China, and even some places were part of the territory of China. The subsequent fall put these places in the hands of Western countries, and China could take them back with confidence.

Of course, when all truth cannot be argued, it is necessary to speak with fists.

War is the original sin.

The use of the many resources and wealth discovered and yet discovered in the South Seas to lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization, the use of the vast land of the South Seas to expand the living space for future generations, the control of the Straits of Malacca and other choke points, and further untie the chains that block the outward expansion of China, all these are far greater than the cost of a war against Britain and the United States.

The young elites of the General Staff were more willing to spread their ambitions to the whole world, and they had early plans for the Anglo-American war. Especially in the showdown in the South Seas.

The old empires in decline such as Britain and France are better to say. But in the face of powerful Americans, no matter who they are, they are very cautious.

"If you don't count the logistics support system, their army can only belong to the second-rate level, and we can easily defeat them on land!" This is Sun Liren's evaluation of the US Army.

He once studied in the United States, and he understood the importance that Americans attached to war and the background of those military schools, which had somewhat raised the level of the American army, but he also saw the military prestige of the vanguard army, compared with the German army and the Soviet Russian army, so the US Army could only be ranked at the second-rate level. And the Japanese on a notch.

If they come to Nanyang to fight from a long distance, I am afraid that the advantages of their logistical support system will also be greatly reduced, and they will be far inferior to those of China, which fights at close range.

At least during Sun Liren's campaign in Burma, the operation of the logistics system of the Huaxia National Defense Force never worried him.

"If the battlefield is in Indochina, we will win! Unless the Americans go crazy and the whole country comes to a life-and-death battle. By that time, the battlefield will not be limited to the South Seas! Fan Chong also said categorically.

"The Americans will not fight us to the death for the sake of the interests of Nanyang, and completely press the old capital. The whole country fights to the end! Meng Xiang hesitated in his heart. But it still denied the premise that the Americans were desperate, and the Americans did not have that kind of backbone in so many wars in later generations. As long as there is no real threat to the survival of their homeland, the United States, manipulated by oligarchs of all stripes, is a businessman's style, seeking a balance between the benefits of war and the costs of war.

This is also an important reason why the Japanese Pearl Harbor previously concluded that the Americans would come to the negotiating table. It's a pity that the Japanese miscalculated, they were not so capable of bringing the Americans to their knees, and the benefits gained by the Americans in the Pacific far outweighed their losses in the war.

"But they will mobilize the power of the country to fight a war on a larger scale, involving our homeland!" Meng Xiang added.

In the absence of nuclear deterrence. The outbreak of war could easily lead to a full-scale war, or even a full-scale confrontation against the Allies.

In addition to the loss of economy, science and technology, and other aspects, China's long borders may be attacked, especially the maritime frontiers, and even bombed from the air, and the war is also likely to cause chaos within China.

Meng Xiang has not turned his face with Yingmei for a long time, also because he is not ready.

Both the construction of air defense everywhere. It will take time to defend the fortresses on the border, protect the coastal sea, or ease and digest internal contradictions.

The recent rapid development of the economy has made Meng Xiang breathe a sigh of relief and give him some confidence in his heart.

Huaxia no longer relies on foreign goods to maintain people's livelihood, and if war breaks out, Huaxia will not have internal contradictions that shake its foundation because of the lack of materials and the embarrassment of people's livelihood.

Most of the data Zhou Bai said are to be used for people's livelihood.

If it is purely a military confrontation, Meng Xiang, who holds the base, is not afraid of the United States as the world arsenal at all.

As long as there are no internal problems, Meng Xiang already has the confidence to form an alliance with the United States, or Britain and the United States, or even to challenge the allies.

The people of China are very stable, and as long as there is food, the middle and lower classes of society can control it.

With the development of immigrants from Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia, and other places, the estimated value of last year's total grain output has reached 207 million tons, which has exceeded the best output of 150 million in the original history of the 36-year period when the Central Party was in power, and also exceeded the 143 million tons in the following 60 years, and approached 230 million tons in 70 years.

Even if the total population after the first census of China exceeded 530 million some time ago, these grains would be enough to eat. Moreover, Meng Xiang still has a large amount of cultivated land in the Americas and Africa, and if he goes south, a large amount of arable land and rice in the South Seas will once again replenish a part of China's grain.

Although last year's annual output of more than 300,000 tons of fertilizer was the catalyst for last year's grain income, Meng Xiang's persistent large-scale farmland and water conservancy construction was the guarantee of last year's bumper grain production.

Large-scale mechanization investment and a large number of surplus laborers who eat subsistence allowances have enabled China's farmland and water conservancy infrastructure to be rolled out throughout the country, and also improved its ability to resist agricultural natural disasters. Even if there are various natural disasters that reduce grain production in the next few years, with the help of various water conservancy infrastructure, the disasters will be minimized, and China's domestic food self-sufficiency will be realized, so that the Chinese people will not suffer from famine.

And Meng Xiang can calm the people's needs not only for food.

With the expansion of cotton fields in Xinjiang and Central Asia, the output of cotton and cotton yarn exceeded 1.5 million tons last year, plus the processing of imported cotton yarn from India, Egypt and other places, the production of cotton cloth in China exceeded 7 billion meters.

The output of cement exceeded 20 million tons last year, in addition to military consumption, and the demand for social infrastructure construction, the shortage of cement for housing construction supply has also been alleviated, coupled with the expansion of the supply of steel for construction, so that the cheap housing planning promoted by Meng Xiang has been promoted on a larger scale, and the hearts of the Chinese urban people who are increasingly tight on living space have been stabilized.

Coupled with Meng Xiang's strong support for education, health and other aspects, and the subsistence allowance policy at the bottom, the people have shouted that Shengshi is very satisfied.

Meng Xiang holds a huge supply of steel, controls the financial order, controls the industrial oil blood of Huaxia oilseeds, supports a long list of Chinese national enterprises, controls the main front of public opinion and propaganda, and has the full support of the Civic Party and the clones, even the middle and upper echelons of society are temporarily more satisfied with the regime of the vanguard army.

Compared with the turmoil of the Central Party and the instability of some radical parties, they prefer a stable regime that is the backbone of social stability.

With the support of all strata, the few figures who want to engage in internal subversion cannot make much of a splash. Occasionally, there is a small upheaval, but the **and** team controlled by 2 million, including the clones, is enough to clean up everything.

"As long as the internal stability is stable, I am confident that I will fight any opponent to the end and completely change the national fortunes of China!" Meng Xiang was full of confidence.
