Chapter 727 The Second London Naval Disarmament Conference II

readx; Although the battleship is no longer the core of naval warfare, and the aircraft carrier is the core of the future navy, at this stage, high-speed battleships are still an indispensable part of the navy, and the two are used together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, battleships with a speed of less than thirty knots are of little use, but the Chinese Navy has no plans to continue to build battleships under thirty knots.

Therefore, the Chinese Navy hopes to get more capital ship tonnage in order to build high-speed battleships, and at the same time, the navy also hopes to use part of the capital ship tonnage to build balanced heavy cruisers, the Chinese Navy has always been seriously dissatisfied with the active service and the construction of heavy treaty-type 10,000-ton heavy cruisers, and has long thought about building heavy cruisers with a better balanced surname, and according to the provisions of the treaty, these balanced heavy cruisers will be classified into the tonnage of capital ships because the tonnage will reach more than 10,000 tons.

"At present, the tonnage of China's capital ships has seriously restricted the development of China's navy, resulting in my country not having enough capital ships to escort aircraft carriers!" As an aviation general, Guan Shijie naturally proceeded from the operational perspective of an aircraft carrier.

Chen Jingyun said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to increase the tonnage of the capital ship!" ”

"That's for sure, 'Ben is already threatening to withdraw from the negotiations!'" Guan Shijie said.

As soon as the Chinese delegation proposed to increase the tonnage of its capital ships, people said, "Ben immediately jumped to his feet, and if he didn't say a word, he was directly opposed, and he also made a cruel statement, saying that if China insisted on increasing the tonnage of its capital ships, then it would have withdrawn from the talks." The United States and Britain are also strongly opposed, claiming that the continued increase in the tonnage of the Chinese Navy's capital ships will seriously threaten world security. The United States, Britain and France are colonies in Asia, but the Philippines of the United States, British Indochina of Great Britain, and French Indochina of France are all under the threat of China.

In such a situation, except for Italy, a country that plays soy sauce, the rest of the international community is almost unanimously opposed to China's demand to increase the tonnage of capital ships.

"These people are all thinking about restricting us, according to the meaning of our navy, just withdraw from this treaty, and then there will be a naval competition, who is afraid of whom!" Yu Wentao's age is a relatively young person in a group of high-ranking naval officials, and he is also a little arrogant when he speaks.

Guan Shijie on the side also said with a calm face: "Now they not only oppose us to increase the tonnage of capital ships, but also say, 'This side has also put forward a proposal to increase the tonnage of aircraft carriers. ”

"Hmph, he thinks about the United States, and wants to increase the tonnage of aircraft carriers to the same level as my country." Yu Wentao next to him said: "I don't want to think about it, do they have the money to build so many aircraft carriers!" ”

He said, "Ben has not even used up the tonnage of 100,000 tons of aircraft carriers, and it is actually not of much use to increase the tonnage of aircraft carriers, but if the tonnage limit of their aircraft carriers is relaxed, it is possible for him to take a ruthless breath and hold back the 135,000-ton aircraft carriers."

Chen Jingyun thought carefully: "Now that the differences are so big, there is no way to talk about it?" ”

This time, the differences in naval negotiations are mainly focused on China, which wants to increase the tonnage of its capital ships, and at the same time opposes the increase in the tonnage of aircraft carriers.

In addition, Italy's attitude is also very ambiguous, Italy has become an out-and-out fascist country under the control of Mussolini for more than ten years, and two months ago launched a military attack on Ethiopia in Africa, and Britain and France are dissatisfied with Italy's attack. Under such circumstances, Italy is also reluctant to sign this treaty to limit its naval development.

Among the six major signatories, China, Benjamin, and Italy are all dissatisfied with the Second London Naval Disarmament Conference, which almost means that the London Naval Disarmament Conference will come to an end without a hitch.

In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, Chen Jingyun already knows that the world war will break out on a large scale in a few years, and during this period of time, in addition to vigorously developing industry, the military force will also have to be reorganized on a large scale, and it cannot be as small as in previous years.

Under such circumstances, China's attitude is very strong, and after the competition for the tonnage of capital ships has been fruitless, Chen Jingyun has not stopped caring about the reactions of other countries, and the war preparation plan he has planned in his heart cannot be stopped because of the restrictions of the naval treaty.

On January 2, 1936, the Chinese delegation officially announced its withdrawal from the Second London Naval Disarmament Conference.

In this case, Britain, the United States and France were also helpless, and in the end, the three of them continued to talk, and the matter here naturally had nothing to do with China and the so-called "Ben."

The fact that China and the two countries have withdrawn from the London Naval Disarmament Conference one after another does not mean that China and the two countries will immediately engage in a large-scale arms race.

Chen Jingyun also hoped that after the outbreak of the war in the future, he would let him be a pawn, and no matter how bad he was, he would not be able to let him throw himself on the side of the United States, Britain and France, and the relationship between China and China would not be too stiff.

In the international situation in 1936, China's main enemy had actually changed, saying, 'Britain, France, and the United States are no longer China's primary threat countries, but Britain, France, and the United States are the main obstacles to China's continued expansion. Quite simply, Southeast Asia is in the hands of these three countries.

On the one hand, the hostility between the two countries has always existed, and the contradictions between the two countries are almost irreconcilable.

This is not to say how strong it is, but because once China attacks its homeland on a large scale, you will know with your toes that Britain, France, and the United States will immediately support it, and then it will be extremely unfavorable to China.

Therefore, in the past few years, the relationship between China and Ben has been in a lukewarm state, and the commercial trade between the two countries has become more and more active day by day, but the two countries have always regarded the other as hostile countries.

China said that the relations between the two countries are extremely complicated and cannot be distinguished simply by enemies or friends.

Because China said that while there are contradictions between the two countries, China also has contradictions with Britain, France, and the United States, and in the same way, it is said that there are contradictions between Britain, France, and the United States, and what Chen Jingyun wants to do is to further stimulate the contradictions between Britain, France, and the United States.

After all, it's the most pleasing thing to watch enemies fight.

But how to make this embark on the same path as history, this is the question that Chen Jingyun has been thinking about in the past few years.

The strength of this time and space has been weakened a lot, and there is still such a big knife hanging over its head as China, so it is said that the current strategic situation is worse in terms of historical facts, and it is impossible for China to take the initiative to go south in a hostile state, and this is not to open up the territory but to seek a dead end.

Chen Jingyun thought to himself, "I can't be so stupid.

If it is said that "if we do not provoke a war against Britain, France, and the United States in the Pacific as we have done in history, then this courage will have to fall on China."

China must enter the war, this is not Chen Jingyun's personal will, but driven by the development of the whole country, China's rapid industrial development, the need for more markets and sources of raw materials, at the same time, China's nationalism has grown unprecedentedly in recent decades, and this kind of radical national expansionism needs to be vented out, Chen Jingyun can not keep shouting that the Chinese nation is the greatest nation in the world while always suppressing the expansion of the nation.

Although the theory of national expansionism and racial superiority that Chen Jingyun developed in his early years played a major role in the early development of the National Socialist Party, it was also becoming more and more dangerous, and this danger was not even forcibly suppressed by Chen Jingyun with his personal prestige.

Moreover, China's economic policies in the early to mid-thirties and even now appear to be extremely beneficial, but there are also many problems, and if this continues, it is estimated that by the forties China itself will have major economic problems.

Therefore, whether it is out of national sentiment, national development, or economic status, it is necessary for China to participate in the war, and even if others do not provoke a war, China needs to take the initiative to provoke a war.

This situation is not only the case in China, in fact, the United States and Germany are similar, and the German side is more obvious, Hitler used Nazism to gain power, and he must expand outward step by step in accordance with the will of the people, and once it stops, the Nazi Party will be finished, otherwise Hitler will not launch foreign wars again and again in history, and he can't even stop if he wants to stop the war, because war is inevitable at that time. The United States is similar, in order to thoroughly stimulate economic development and get out of the predicament of the economic crisis, the United States also needs war.

China needs war, but how to fight it is another matter. First of all, he can't be the enemy of the whole world, no matter how arrogant Chen Jingyun is, he is not a Cixi, and he does not have the courage to start a war against the whole world. And this war against the whole world can be regarded as a war against Beneans, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Soviet Russia at the same time.

From a practical point of view, once China takes the initiative to attack Southeast Asia when it has to start a war, as long as the leaders of Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union are not stupid, then they will definitely unite against China. This is not nonsense, nor is it the persecution that Chen Jingyun brought from later generations, but the reality is that if China attacks Southeast Asia, Britain and France will definitely resist, and then even if China successfully wins Southeast Asia, but in the face of China's large-scale expansion in Southeast Asia, coupled with Germany's large-scale expansion in Europe, it is no wonder that the United States can sit still, and then the United States will inevitably enter the war.
