readx; When the temporary military expenditure of up to 20 billion yuan was allocated, China's navy, army, and air force were not ambiguous, and immediately carried out a larger-scale expansion, and the navy directly formalized the 10th phase of the development plan.

The 10th Development Plan of the Navy was originally a supplementary plan to the 9th Development Plan, which was formulated at the end of 1939 and originally built four Aoyama-class aircraft carriers, a large cruiser and four anti-aircraft cruisers, but in 1940, stimulated by the U.S. Two Oceans Navy Act, the 9th Revision Plan and the 9th Supplementary Plan were added. By the end of 1940, the ninth phase of the plan had become a huge plan to build ten aircraft carriers, three large cruisers, ten air defense cruisers, and fifty-six destroyers.

At the end of 1940, a plan was made to build two large armored aircraft carriers as follow-up ships to the Tianshan-class aircraft carriers, but because the ninth phase of the plan had been formalized and funded, the navy was not easy to change, so it had to directly set up the tenth phase of the development plan to prepare for the construction of these two large armored aircraft carriers.

Now that China has increased its temporary military spending, the Navy has taken advantage of the trend to formalize the tenth phase of the development plan, and the plan to build two large armored aircraft carriers has been put on the agenda, for the new aircraft carrier Chen Jingyun personally requested, the new aircraft carrier must be able to carry jet aircraft, the Department of Naval Administration has made major modifications according to the design of the Tianshan-class aircraft carrier, using an oblique deck, increasing the hull and hangar area, resulting in an unprecedented design tonnage of a new generation of large aircraft carriers of 56,000 tons, And this is still the standard displacement, if it is in a full state of operation, the displacement will reach more than 70,000 tons. Although the aircraft carrier is in the design stage, the design is very fast, and it is expected to be officially started at the end of 1941, and its lead ship, CV24, has been named Wutaishan.

Due to the huge tonnage of the new aircraft carrier, there are only two slipways that China can undertake such a huge tonnage, and this is the expanded slipway when the Tianshan-class aircraft carrier was built.

The construction of large warships, especially tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers, requires a huge slipway, and at present there are only three shipyards that have built large warships, Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, Qingdao Navy Shipyard, Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard, in order to meet the Navy's large number of aircraft carrier orders, these three shipyards have carried out large-scale expansion, otherwise the slipway is not enough to really build.

In the tenth phase of the development plan, in addition to these two large armored aircraft carriers, four orders for Aoyama-class aircraft carriers have been added, bringing the total number of Aoyama-class aircraft carriers to sixteen, of which two have been completed, ten are under construction, and four are ready to start.

A large number of aircraft carriers have started construction, and it is expected that they will be put into service in two or three years, in order to escort this aircraft carrier, the Chinese Navy naturally has to build a large number of auxiliary ships, and there are three Yangtze River class large cruisers in the ninth phase of the development plan, and the Yangtze River class large cruiser is also the first large cruiser designed by the Chinese Navy, unlike the previous Shaohao and the three Fuxi class, they were originally designed as light battleships, and the original design of the Yangtze River class was as a large cruiser, In order to suppress these warships and balance the cost of building ships, this Yangtze River-class large cruiser has a standard displacement of 23,000 tons, and is equipped with three triple guns with a total of nine 12-inch naval guns. The secondary guns consisted of four twin five-inch high-level guns, followed by a large number of 40-mm and 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, which had a slightly lower speed of only 30 knots.

Of course, there are more light cruisers and destroyers, as the fleet's light cruisers, the Fuyan-class light cruisers, with a standard displacement of 7,000 tons, equipped with a large number of five-inch high-level dual-purpose guns, the number of ships built in the ninth phase of the plan alone is as high as eight, and in the tenth phase of the plan, it is expected to build more improved air defense cruisers of the Fuyan-class class.

In addition, there are the Zimei-class destroyers, which are an improved version of the Zi'an-class destroyers, with an enlarged hull and more weapons, resulting in an increase in tonnage and a decrease in speed. The estimated number of destroyers to be built is huge, and orders for hundreds of destroyers have already been placed.

The expansion plan of the Navy, whether it is the ninth phase or the tenth phase that has just been determined, can only be said to be a long-term plan, which belongs to the kind that cannot be seen in a short period of time, such as the order of up to a dozen aircraft carriers in the ninth phase of the development plan, the earliest one is estimated to be completed in the second half of 1942, and the completion period of large quantities has to be after 1943, as for the two Wutaishan-class large aircraft carriers, it would be good to be able to enter service in 1944.

The navy is a branch of the armed forces that takes time to accumulate, so don't look at the ninth and tenth phases of the plan, which are very large, but between 1940 and 1943, China's naval forces that can be used are still the existing ones, and only some auxiliary warships such as light cruisers and destroyers can join the navy in these two years.

The arms that can see results in a short period of time are still the army and air force, and the construction period of their weapons and equipment is very short, not to say that it takes three or four years at every turn, just like the warships of the navy. And it is precisely because of the relatively short period of time in the army that Chen Jingyun suppressed the expansion of the army in the past few years, and has only maintained a strength of less than five million in the past few years.

Now that Chen Jingyun has made up his mind to participate in the war, then the army needs a large-scale riot in a short period of time!

After receiving a large amount of military spending, the army directly shouted the slogan of 10 million troops, claiming that it would directly increase the strength of the army from the current 5 million to 10 million within six months.

In order to cope with the expansion, the army placed orders for 3,000 T15 tanks and 4,000 T16 light tanks from domestic manufacturers in July, as well as orders for 300 T17 heavy tanks. If you add all kinds of self-propelled guns and assault guns, then you will find that in just seven months, the army has placed orders for tens of thousands of tracked combat vehicles of various types.

These armored vehicles will be added to the 10 armoured divisions currently in service with the Chinese army, which is also preparing plans to establish five new armoured divisions.

Of course, tanks are not only needed by these armored divisions, but also by numerous mechanized infantry divisions and even ordinary infantry units.

While allocating a large amount of military funds to expand the army, Chen Jingyun also began the early stage of troop mobilization.

Chen Jingyun has already made up his mind to destroy the Russian Republic, and although diplomatic and political factors are more important, the necessary military preparations must still be made in advance.

In the northeast, Chen Jingyun has instructed the formation of the Eighth Army, which will be responsible for the defense of the Heilongjiang and Xindong provinces, and will be used to attack the existing Far East of the Russian Republic.

At that time, together with the Seventh Army in the direction of Mongolia and North China, they will attack in depth into the hinterland of the Russian Republic. At the same time, the 4th and 5th armies of Kazakhstan and Siberia will also cooperate in the operation.

At that time, Chen Jingyun was ready to invest four group armies in one fell swoop, up to millions of troops, hoping to solve the battle in the shortest possible time, and then free up this part of the force to deal with threats from other directions.

Just as a large number of Chinese troops and military supplies were massing in Mongolia and the northeast, China also launched a new round of diplomatic offensive to cover the northern operation.

On July 20, the Chinese diplomatic delegation arrived at Novosibirsk, the capital of the Russian Republic, when the Russian Republic was first established, Vladivostok was regarded as the temporary capital, but with the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nanjing, a large area of the Far East, including Vladivostok, was returned to China, and the Russian Republic moved the seat of the political axe to Novosibirsk, and made Novosibirsk the second capital, and the first capital was St. Petersburg, which was under the control of Soviet Russia.

After the arrival of the Chinese diplomatic delegation in Novosibirsk, various consultations began with the Russian Republic, and the biggest topic of the negotiations was, of course, how China would participate in the war against the Soviet Union.

Although it is already impossible for China to fight against the Soviet Union, this fact is only known to a few core high-level leaders in China, not only in ordinary countries, let alone foreigners, and based on the traditional hostility between China and Soviet Russia, it is not surprising that China wants to attack Soviet Russia together with the Russian Republic.

In addition to these open negotiations, Chen Jingyun also secretly sent envoys to Soviet Russia, the intention of which was very obvious, that is, to reach a temporary alliance with Soviet Russia to force Soviet Russia to recognize China's control over the Far East, Eastern Siberia, and East Central Asia after the war.

Now that Soviet Russia is so miserable, Chen Jingyun feels that there is still a great hope of reaching this agreement, of course, if the Russians would rather perish than admit it, then at most there will be more diplomatic trouble, but Chen Jingyun will still send troops to the Russian Republic.

This has nothing to do with the choice of the Russians themselves.

There is no need for a disobedient ally to exist.

At a time when China was engaged in tense secret negotiations with both the Russian Republic and Soviet Russia, there were also frequent exchanges between China and the Soviet Union.

Every day, a large number of ships with all kinds of supplies depart from various ports in China and then go to the city, and the large amount of supplies from China makes the situation of the city better than in history.

Historically, it was said that after the British and American economies were blockaded, the situation was very bad, but now with all the resources provided by China, the domestic economy and military production can still be maintained at a relatively high proportion. And this good state also further increases the confidence of the "Ben".

In addition, China continued to increase troops to the north in June and July, and at the same time, the Burmese side is becoming more and more chaotic, China's military strength in Southeast Asia has reached an all-time high, and in addition to the army, the Chinese navy has successively transferred a large number of main fleets to the South China Sea.

The main force of the Chinese navy has been transferred to the South China Sea, which has made me feel a lot more relieved, and under the threat that China will not face China's huge navy, the intention of this navy to increase the strength of the Indonesian direction is already very obvious, that is, to take advantage of this once-in-a-century opportunity to expand the occupation zone in the South Pacific.

As for Chen Jingyun, although the situation in the north is tense, he has not forgotten the development of the situation in the south, the southern strategy has already been formulated and implemented, and China's actions in the northern region will not be affected by the situation in the south. In the south, the navy is more important.

If you want to make Chen Jingyun declare war on Britain and the United States, Chen Jingyun still has a lot of work to do, and the first one is to make him believe that Lao Tzu is going to war with Britain.

The contradictions between China and Britain have always been fierce, and the Burma rebellion in the first half of 1941 brought the relationship between China and Britain to a freezing point, and now, Chen Jingyun intends to continue to stimulate the British.

On the one hand, it is to make him believe that China wants to go to war with Britain, and on the other hand, he has to put pressure on the British, and the Hong Kong issue has dragged on for so many years, and it is time to solve it.
