With the approval of the last project of the arms race, four Shandong-class (Shandong, Shanxi, Fujian, Yunnan) battleships at the suggestion of Yue Peng, the Republic of China officially made a gradual transition from a period of peaceful development to a period of armament. While the navy was ecstatic, it also knew that the people owed a lot this time, so it took the initiative to reduce expenses, and also contacted Germany to sell 33omm naval gun drawings and a triple sample gun, 12 ocean-going submarines that had been mothballed but were better than the current German technology, and it was impossible to control how they got them back.

At the same time, the navy immediately reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia and Siam to sell 24 torpedo gunboats, and also asked the North Korean Defense Forces to buy eight decommissioned Paulding-class destroyers and 200 white-shouldered sculptures. In the end, Chen Shaokuan saw that people really couldn't afford expensive training expenses, so he simply found a few retired pilots of the Navy and gave away 12 retired Sparrow trainers for free, so as to solve the training problem of North Korean pilots.

Of course, this money is not enough for even one main gun. After consulting with the Ministry of Finance, the Navy approved the issuance of naval bonds in West Borneo and the Chinese community in Nanyang for the first time with the approval of the National Assembly. At first, everyone thought that it would not have much effect, but they didn't think that after publicity, the navy actually raised PH Minyuan public bonds in one go, which was equal to the cost of a Shandong-class ship. This can also be seen that overseas Chinese pay much more attention to the navy than the army and air force, after all, in their eyes, the stronger the navy, the more their interests can be protected. In order to build a relationship with the navy, many big bosses bought millions of dollars when they were raised. The richest man in Nanyang, Gu Weijun's father-in-law, Singapore's Hu Wenhu brothers and others, even joined forces to buy tens of millions, creating the largest amount of national bonds purchased by overseas Chinese.

In the end, the navy also came up with the idea of selling the two damaged Anhai-class ships, but because it would not be able to find a buyer for a while, it had to give up for the time being.

"These bastards!" Yang Qiu in the car also laughed and scolded when he heard this, sweeping away most of the regrets left by Qin Jian's death. Seeing his rare smile, Yue Peng continued: "The cost budget for each ship is to start construction of two ships in Jiangnan and Mawei early next year, and the last two ships will be rebuilt when the slipways in Qinzhou and Zhanjiang are vacated at the end of the year. I asked Chen Shaokuan that such a large battleship would not be delivered until at least the first two ships at the beginning of the 40s, and the last two ships would not be delivered until the end of the 41 years according to the schedule. In this way, the whole construction period is exactly six years, and the pressure of more than 200 million yuan per year is not very large. The Soviet Union's military budget last year and this year exceeded $4 billion, Germany's military budget this year has also exceeded KD dollars, Japan has also exceeded the dollar, and we add the previous five years of 9 billion and this time the four battleships, an average of about 3.6 billion per year, which is converted into almost 1.8 billion dollars.

"Just spoil them." Yang Qiu glared, stopped talking about the battleship, and asked, "Since it started, what are your next plans?" ”

Yue Peng said: "Stalin has already conferred the rank of marshal on Tukhachevsky and others, and in my opinion, this is a deliberate move to calm the hearts of the people in the army, and the date of action is definitely not far away." I estimate that by next summer at the latest, he will have a large-scale purge of the army. I have already told Zhang Zhidan that as long as the internal purge of the Soviet army is deep, he will launch Afghan guerrillas to take back Kabul. As long as Kabul is recaptured and a central government is established, Britain and France will inevitably want to block the support of the Soviet Union, and Stalin will feel that we have begun to join forces to suppress him, and the probability of committing heavy troops to the south will increase. Seeing that we are being dragged in the northwest and Afghanistan, Japan will definitely not miss the opportunity, Nagata Tetsuyama is now waiting for Sukarno to make a fuss, as long as he makes a move, the fire will be burned.

After Japan goes south, it will be inseparable from Britain and France, and my suggestion is not to get involved in the war, first take advantage of France's concern about Vietnam, and strive to reach a bilateral cooperation agreement with them, and then warn Japan not to touch West Borneo and Sumatra, and we can leave it alone for the time being in other places, so that Britain will have a headache. ”

Yang Qiu nodded and continued to ask, "What about Germany?" ”

"Hakan and Falkenhausen came to negotiate an alliance, and they asked us if we had signed an anti-GC agreement. I still don't think it's reliable in this matter, Hitler really cries out every day to destroy Stalin, but privately trade between the two countries has increased several times compared to previous years. Moreover, his current strength cannot defeat the Soviet Union, and he will have to prepare for at least three or four years before it can be properly prepared. I discussed with Ziqing that we were going to take advantage of next year's Olympics to let Shi Zhaoji, the head of the Olympic team, meet with Hitler, and see if we could persuade him to attack the Soviet Union first. ”

"Zi'an, if Germany fights France first, it must be Britain and Germany that start a war, in that case, they will definitely join hands with the Soviet Union to contain Germany, and our role will become dispensable, what do you say?" Yang Qiu finally said what he had been holding in his heart for several years.

The strange thing is that Yue Peng didn't have any troubles, but laughed: "That's not easy, it's generous to join Britain and the United States." Unless they want us to join Germany, they can only say yes. As long as Japan is cleaned up before the United States leaves, Guinea and Rabaul are snatched away, and then troops are sent to the Japanese mainland, most of the US routes to Northeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific will be cut off! In the next few years, we just need to keep the Persian Gulf. In this way, if you find a reason after the war, you can clean up the Soviet Union, which was badly damaged! I don't believe it, is it true that Britain and the United States will still need the Soviet Union after the destruction of Germany? Besides, even if they need to, as long as they can fight for three or four years this time, I don't believe there is much strength left to fight us! I am afraid that the colonial independence movements around the world will be able to contain most of the forces of Britain and France. ”

Yue Peng's words made Yang Qiu's eyes light up, and he suddenly realized that he had really gone into a misunderstanding. It is certainly the best choice to use the world war to solve the border troubles and realize industrialization, but if you can't use it, it is not necessarily the end of the world. Some things are irreconcilable, even if Britain and the United States needed the USSR for a short time, so what? After the Soviet Union took the opportunity of attacking Germany to sweep through Eastern Europe, it would inevitably cause panic in the West. Since there can be Korean wars after World War II in history, are you still afraid that you won't be able to solve these problems? As long as we find a way to make Kazakhstan independent and push for a referendum in the East Siberian tundra, the border issue will no longer be a problem.

Defend the first island chain, grab the second island chain as much as possible, ensure the oil interests of the Persian Gulf, and split India, then the entire strategic situation is still in your own hands.

Moreover, with the progress of industry, materials and technology, the value of their own drawings has become greater and larger, taking advantage of the wartime system of the world war, unlimited military spending on the opportunity of technology, it may not be impossible to achieve a comprehensive generation gap in a few years.

After figuring this out, the worry that had been pressing on his heart for a long time completely dissipated, and his face suddenly became much lighter, and he said with a smile: "Wang Zhengting, they have probably waited for a long time." Xiao He, hurry up, the armament has begun, why do you have to get a few votes to subsidize it"

"Haha."

In the midst of laughter, the much-anticipated Shanghai World Expo officially opened, because the first day to visit are all government officials, foreign industrial economic delegations and ambassadors, so the World Expo Organizing Committee specially arranged the first three days to be open to special people. Because it was the first industrial event to be held in Asia, and the world believed that China's rise was only a matter of time, it attracted a large number of official representatives to take the opportunity to inspect China's industrial capacity, so that the organizing committee had to arrange nearly 100 open-top electric vehicles to travel.

"Mr. President, Madam, it's a pleasure to meet both." As soon as he participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Yang Qiu was blocked by Hakan and Falkenhausen, and it seems that these two have not given up on persuading the Republic of China to form an alliance.

The two men's actions were immediately taken into account by diplomats from various countries, and France was more worried because China was on the border of the French East Indies. Britain and the United States didn't care much about it, but the Soviet and Japanese ambassadors were on fire. When Yue Peng visited Germany last year, China and Germany showed a posture of dealing with the Soviet Union together, and now they are so enthusiastic, has they reached a secret agreement? Japan is also very uncomfortable, since the rise of China, it knows that it is difficult for land power to defeat the Republic of China, Japan's strategy has changed to go south first, grab resources and then grow stronger and then attack China with the Soviet Union, but if China and Germany join hands to defeat the Soviet Union, Japan will only have one way to take refuge in the United States.

"Your Excellency, what are you looking at? Let's start with a visit to the Aviation Pavilion. Jiro Tsurugoshi, who had a knife face, didn't care what the Japanese ambassador Ariyoshiaki was looking at. He came this time because he learned that China would display the latest aviation technology at the World Expo, so he specially asked him to come as a diplomat.

Japan attaches great importance to the Shanghai World Expo and hopes to understand the industrial capabilities of its rivals through this exhibition, so it is not only sending a large government delegation, but also many people from the private sector are rushing to the exhibition. It's just that seeing the smiling appearance of Yang Qiu and the German delegation, Youji Ming really didn't have the mind, and waved his hand: "Jue Yuejun, you go to visit with everyone first, I still have some things." After speaking, he took his wife and walked towards Yang Qiu.

Perhaps everyone was tentative, and soon the ambassadors of various countries, including Jensen, left the delegation and came to Yang Qiu and his wife to form an alternative "presidential visiting group". Seeing this, Falkenhausen also knew that it was not good to say more today, so he simply invited Yang Qiu to visit Germany: "Mr. President, the Führer has always hoped that you can go to Berlin again, and he will welcome you with the grandest party. ”

"Thank you Mr. Hitler for the invitation, and I hope he will come to the East to see it." Yang Qiu didn't talk much with the other party, and when he saw Jensen and the others coming over, he smiled and waved his hand: "Let's visit together." ”

As soon as I entered the China Pavilion, two rows of girls dressed in professional clothes and short skirts, carefully selected with slender legs, made the ambassadors' eyes shine, and the reporters around did not pay much attention at first, after all, there are many such concierge ladies in Europe and the United States, but after a while, they found a difference.

"What are they wearing on their legs?". Wonderful Novel [Net] Remember our website:
