readx; In July, with the news of the outbreak of war in Europe, China showed a passion that was more intense than the summer sun, especially many businessmen were smiling and talking about how many business opportunities the war in Europe would bring to them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The capitalists in Huidong Xinlu are raising funds for the expansion of major factories, because after the outbreak of the war, it seems that all the industrial products and raw materials in the world have become marketable, as long as your output is enough, then there are a lot of orders waiting for you, not only for export to Europe, but also for many orders in Asia and China.

Roosevelt and Chen Jingyun are sincerely grateful to Hitler for his madness, and if it were not for Hitler's fearless spirit in provoking a major war in Europe, China and the United States would not have had the opportunity for such a surging development.

For China, the war in Europe not only means that a large number of European export markets can be obtained, but also a very important point is that European countries, especially Britain, France and Germany, the three major industrial countries, due to the war, their industrial production capacity is used in the war, and at this time their world market is naturally vacant, for China, this market is naturally the Asian market.

This market gap was soon occupied by Chinese goods, and even the colonies of Britain, France, and the Netherlands began to appear in large quantities of Chinese-produced goods.

This situation, which bears a striking resemblance to the wartime boom of World War I, gave China a powerful impetus to its industrial expansion.

Of course, in addition to these ordinary civilian markets, there is also an extremely important mass production of ordnance products, because as the situation in Europe becomes more and more tense, countries are basically carrying out all kinds of armaments, not to mention European countries, they do not need to buy Chinese ordnance products, but other countries, such as Iran in the Middle East, Thailand in Southeast Asia, Argentina in South America, and a few other countries, are basically countries that need to import weapons, and Chinese arms dealers are competing for the arms market of these countriesIn the twenties and thirties, it took a lot of effort, but the effect was far less than the tense situation in Europe after 1935, because of the tense situation in Europe in recent years, China's arms exports also took this opportunity to get a large number of orders, especially Iran and Thailand, which import a large number of ordnance products from China every year, and now they are all made in China, rifles, artillery, and machine guns are all Chinese military equipment.

However, for China's defense industry, the real driving force for development is naturally impossible to rely on them, but on a large number of military orders from China, the Republic of Russia, and the Republic of Korea. China began a large-scale arms expansion in 1936, and this expansion is not about how many troops to increase, but in the upgrading of military equipment, and as China's military allies, the Republic of Russia and the Republic of Korea are naturally closely following the Chinese army. There are fewer on the North Korean side, and now there are only ten divisions in total, and the combined forces of the navy, land and air force are about 300,000, plus the Republic of Korea is also quite simple, anyway, he doesn't expect to fight against China alone, so he doesn't pay much attention to military development, just purchase some Chinese second-hand weapons, in their words, cheap and easy to use. After all, China's armed forces will basically be replaced every few years, and it is distressing to throw some old weapons directly into the warehouse after they are decommissioned, and it is better to sell them to the North Korean side at a cost.

As for the Russian Republic, the scale is much larger, although the population of the Russian Republic is not much, and now it is only 20 million, but this country has to fight against Soviet Russia, and it implements the system of universal service, and adult men have to serve as soldiers for several years, and the standing strength of the army is maintained at about 500,000, and their mobilization mechanism is very strict, once the war breaks out, the standing force can be expanded to one million within a week, and the mobilization efficiency is much higher than that of China. But they can't help it, after all, the total population is only a little bit, and it is a life-and-death situation with Soviet Russia, if this army can't be done, it will be over, after all, although there is China's help behind them, but they themselves are also indispensable, without their 600,000 army, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Siberia and Kazakhstan cannot stop the more than one million troops of Soviet Russia.

Because it is on the front line of combat readiness all the year round, and China also needs the Russian Defense Forces to maintain combat effectiveness, so the military equipment of the Russian Defense Forces is generally closely followed by the Chinese side, basically after China is equipped with some new equipment, the Russian side feels that the surname can be reliable and can be equipped on a large scale, it will place an order with China, and China's equipment at the same time is impossible, after all, the production capacity of new equipment is limited at the beginning, China has to satisfy itself first, and will only provide it to Russia after the production capacity is increased.

Generally speaking, although the military equipment of the Russian Defense Forces is not as good as that of the Chinese troops, it is still a first-line level, at least much better than the army.

Taking the armored forces as an example, the Russian Defense Forces currently have three armored brigades, several battalions of reading tanks, and a total of about 500 tanks, most of which are equipped with T6 tanks, and some T8 reconnaissance tanks. As for the T9 tank, the Russian Defense Forces have long wanted to buy it, but China's T9 tank production capacity has not been too high, plus the need for technical secrecy, so although the Chinese Army began to serve a small number of T9 tanks in 1929, and began to equip T9 tanks in batches in 1931, the Russian Defense Forces have not been allowed to buy T9 tanks from China.

It was not until the Chinese Army began to serve the T12 medium tank that the Chinese Army relaxed the restrictions on the T9 tank, and the Russian side placed an order for hundreds of tanks at a time.

Although the T9 tank was mass-produced in 1929, and eight years had passed by 1937, these eight years did not negate the advantage of the T9 tank.

Even in 1939, the T9 tank surname can still be very advanced, compared to the tanks of other countries in the world can basically not find a medium tank that can compete with it, the Soviet Russia is used to fight against the Chinese T9 tank is more than 40 tons of KV tank, and this is not a level of things, and the cost of the two is also very different, T9 tank as China's main active tank, the number of equipment has reached nearly 1,000, and since China dares to serve so many T9 series tanks, Naturally, because the cost of the T9 tank is not high, if it is too expensive, it will not be able to equip so much. As for the KV tanks in Soviet Russia, there are now only more than 200 units.

The order placed by the Russian Defense Forces also allows the production line of T9 tanks to continue to be maintained, because after the Chinese Army is equipped with nearly 1,000 T9 tanks, it has been targeting T12 tanks since a few years ago, and now the Chinese Army is in batch service with T12 tanks, and the production line of this T9 tank is estimated to have to be stopped if there is no order from Russia.

Like the tanks in the army, the planes in the air force are almost the same way, and Russia's air force is limited by the influence of national strength factors, and unlike the offensive air force that China strives to build, their air force is a very pure air defense air force.

Even in the internal strategy of the Russian Air Force, once a large-scale war breaks out with Soviet Russia, then the task of the Russian Air Force is to cooperate with the Chinese Air Force to fight, and in the early stage of the war, the Russian Air Force will use all means to conduct air defense operations to cover the ground forces, and wait for the large-scale stationing of the Chinese Air Force in the future. It's not that he's cowardly or worried, but it's actually limiting.

The size of the Russian Air Force is not very large, and the annual funding is also limited, and the vast majority of the aircraft equipped are anti-aircraft fighters, a few are reconnaissance planes, and as for the bombers, there are only a few pretentious bombers.

The main fighter of the Russian Air Force is naturally the F3 fighter purchased from China, but with the passage of time, the F3 fighter has rapidly fallen behind in the world, if the F3 fighter in the early thirties is the most advanced fighter in the world, then in the mid-thirties it seems a little powerless, and now in the late thirties, it has basically fallen into the ranks of second-rate fighters.

The aircraft technology of this era has advanced much faster than the army's tanks, and China's T6 tank has not been completely retired from the end of World War I until now, and even now it is still the main force of the armored forces of the Russian Defense Forces, but the F2 fighter developed at the end of World War I has long been gone. The same example also happened to the T9 tank and F3 fighter, the current T9 tank is still the main force of the Chinese Army, and it can be expected that even after five or six years, even if the war breaks out in China, there are a large number of new tanks in service, but these T9 tanks will continue to be active on the battlefield, but the F3 fighter has now been reduced to a second-rate fighter, and the Chinese Navy and Air Force have long replaced it with F4 fighters.

Now that the situation is tense, the Russian Air Force is also speeding up the equipment of F4 fighters.

The preparation of the Russian Republic is naturally to bring a large number of military orders to China, in order to pay for these military equipment, the Russian Republic has been playing with the development of resources over the years, although the territory of the Russian Republic seems to be extremely desolate land, but the resources are not small, although the conditions are more difficult, but it can dig out a lot of resources to sell, these years the Russian Republic has also developed a certain industry, although not too advanced but at least a semi-industrial country, Even the construction of their domestic defense industry is okay, and this batch of T9 tanks they ordered is not a direct purchase of finished products, but after purchasing parts and components, they assemble them themselves.

Russia's side is expanding its armaments, and the scale is not small, but compared with the scale of China's expansion warfare, it is not worth mentioning, this expansion is not reflected in the increase in troops, but the renewal of new equipment, with the most obvious example, the total number of tanks in China has now climbed to 5,000, of course, this 5,000 refers to the number of all types of tanks combined, the largest number of three types of equipment is T6 medium tank, T8 light tank, T9 medium tank, And then there are the T10 light tanks intended exclusively for the southern regions. There are hundreds of the latest T12s, and there are more than a hundred T11s.

And many of these tanks are new new tanks added in recent years, not to mention the T12 and T11, the latest improved model of the T8 lightweight, the T8R, has produced more than 800 units in just two years.

And the size of China's armored forces is growing faster and faster day by day.

In this world war, there are not tens of thousands of tanks who are embarrassed to say that they are participating in the war!
