Industrial strength is the foundation of a country, and at this point, the strength of the Americans is beyond doubt, and when it comes to the Americans, it is like a big mountain, which cannot be removed from the hearts of Huang Bohan and Lu Zhengxiang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As Prime Minister Lan Fang, Lu Zhengxiang certainly knows how strong the Americans are, even better than anyone here, so when Huang Bohan mentioned the Americans, even if Huang Bohan had been prepared, he still couldn't help but be stunned.
"If the Americans were going to intervene, then it would be the beginning of World War II." Lu Zhengxiang responded to Huang Bohan's question.
The strength of the Americans' violent military capabilities and industrial power has already begun to emerge in the world war, and it is basically pointless to discuss this issue now. Lu Zhengxiang knows the strength of the Americans, which is indeed very terrifying, but when it comes to fear, this is not necessarily.
Lan Fang's strength is weak, and the weakness lies in the navy, which Lu Zhengxiang knows very well that the strength of the Americans is strong and the war potential is beyond doubt. But since Harding came to power, the United States has pursued an "isolationist" policy, and if Lanfang and Britain go to war, how quickly the Americans can react is a question mark.
In fact, the naval strength of the Americans is not strong, the Americans are strong in their industrial base, if the Americans want to build warships, the Americans can build a whole bunch of them at any time, but the same problem as Lan Fang faces, the Americans can't find so many sailors to operate these warships, so if it's just the Americans, you are not worth fearing.
The problem is that there are still the British, and the British have no money now, so the ship-building plan is all on paper, and the British really want to put it into action, and the British have more than enough heart but not enough power. But if the British and the Americans are combined, it will be very terrible, the British have a background after all, although they do not have enough warships, but they have enough sailors, if the United States sends warships and Britain sends people, then Lan Fang will be at a disadvantage in an all-round way.
Therefore, when Huang Bohan mentioned the Americans, Lu Zhengxiang could only pin his hopes on the expansion of the war.
If Lan Fang goes to war with the British, and then the Americans enter the war, then France and the Republic of China will definitely not sit idly by, and then it will be the rhythm of World War II.
"World War - Can We Win It?" Huang Bohan asked a pointed question.
To fight or not to fight, it is easy to make a decision, but how to end it is a big problem, if you can win, then everything is easy to say, if you lose, then everything is over.
Huang Bohan can also be regarded as an old man, and he thinks about defeat before he thinks about victory, and the question raised is very realistic.
"Even if we can't beat the British and the Americans, at least we can maintain an undefeated situation, and it's very difficult for the British and Americans to beat us, they don't have the strength." When it comes to the Americans, Qin Zhisheng has no belief in victory, and it is already reluctant to maintain a tie.
"From the point of view of industrial strength, we may not lose, we now have four steel mills, with an annual steel output of more than 5 million tons, which of course cannot be compared with the Americans and the British, but if we further expand production capacity, or even on this basis, it is not without the ability to fight back, maybe we are not capable of attacking, and the defense is still fine." Zhang Tianyun, Minister of Industry, is not good news, but it is not worse.
Before the World War, the British's steel output was about 8 million tons, about one-third of the Americans, and now the British have not come out of the shadow of the world war, and the steel output is about 7 million tons, just like Zhang Tianyun said, Lanfang's 5 million tons are also competitive.
"There is no need to think about the world war, the last war has just passed, and the whole world is not ready for the next world war, including the British and the Americans, everyone is trying to avoid this." Qin Zhiyuan rarely said a fair word, and he didn't mean to favor anyone.
"Well, Your Majesty, even if there is no world war, we have to take into account the level of participation of the Americans, if it is the same as the last world war, it is indeed not optimistic." Huang Bohan did not give up his point of view and insisted on considering the problem from the perspective of the worst.
"I said it, there will be no Second World War anytime soon." Qin Zhiyuan didn't continue this topic, worrying about what had not happened yet, this was really a bit of a fate.
"Well, the conclusion of our military department is that if the Americans do not interfere, with the strength of the British alone, we have no need to worry, the British will not even be able to touch our homeland." Qin Zhisheng God, Qin Zhiyuan's meaning said.
"Industrially, how is Jianye's factory planned? If you add the local steel mills, how much more industrial output is there? Qin Zhiyuan also tried to get accurate information, so that he could decide on the next step.
"It depends on how the local steel mills deal with it, if it is only sealed and not dismantled, then the total output can reach more than 10 million tons, if the local steel production is all dismantled, then the steel output is still 5 million tons, and the current scale is the same." Zhang Tianyun also did a good job in his homework, at least in the face of Qin Zhiyuan's question, Zhang Tianyun could answer it.
"The Germans can be added to the calculation of allies, and now we can be sure that the Germans will be on our side." Qin Zhiyuan released a bombshell.
The strength of the Germans is indeed insignificant now, but the Germans have potential, before the world war, Germany's economy was second only to the United States, the second in the world, and now although it is under sanctions, Germany's heritage is still there, if the Germans are given time, the Germans will definitely be able to recover their strength, and then it will be a major benefit to Lanfang.
Qin Zhiyuan's visit to Europe this time was still fruitful, at least through communication with Wilhelm III, Qin Zhiyuan was sure to pull the Germans into his camp.
Of course, there is still a relationship to be coordinated, after all, the French and the Germans are still very contradictory, and the hatred formed in the world war has not been resolved, and it is uncertain whether the French can accept the Germans, which requires Qin Zhiyuan to do more coordination work.
"Germany -- if there were Germans, then the situation would be much better." Lu Zhengxiang was a little surprised, most of the ingredients in this expression were pretended, as early as when Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan communicated the relevant news with Lu Zhengxiang, and Lu Zhengxiang knew the attitude of the Germans.
"Germany, can they still fight?" Huang Bohan was a little unsure.
Whether the Germans can still fight is really a question.
