The richest man in the world

Chapter 296 Boom

For Li Kaiye, as soon as he became the president of China, he had to face a thorny and annoying problem - he was becoming China's most troublesome challenger in the Pacific recently.

In 1901, after the end of the Far East War, Japan was deprived of the central banking system under the restrictions of the Treaty of Tianjin, and various consortia were also severely sanctioned.

However, the situation after the Far East War has begun to be unfavorable to China. In order to limit China's expansion, Britain, the United States and the United States have given greater restraint China on the Japanese issue and failed to let China solve the Japanese issue once and for all.

From 1901 to 1905, Japan really had a difficult time. Since then, with the support of the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, new loans and support conditions have been continuously obtained, and the development of the whole country is also very stable.

Especially after Toshio Shibata came to power, he established the Japanese Progressive Party led by himself, actively implemented the centrist policy of imitating the Grand Duke Party of China, re-supported the development of the big chaebols, promoted agricultural cooperatives in China, increased investment in national infrastructure, and implemented a popular national education policy.

After the end of World War I, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Yasuda and other large conglomerates have regained their strength and successively surpassed the Fuji consortia.

With the expiration of the Treaty of Tianjin, Japan also resumed financial reading in 1926 and began to increase the expansion of Japan's army, navy and land. In the past 25 years, Japan's defense expenditure accounted for only 3% of the fiscal revenue, which greatly guaranteed the construction of Japan's national infrastructure.

In 1930, after the death of Toshio Shibata, the right-wing forces rose again, and the Democratic Progressive Party also began to gradually transform from a center-out party to a center-right party, and actively promoted new expansion policies.

During this period, Japan also considered to form an alliance with China and join the China-led Asia-Europe camp. The problem was that Hu Chuyuan had always stubbornly refused. Even if he considered it later, he directly rejected Japan's request to return the surrounding island territories.

This led to Japan's final joining the British and American camp, and increased efforts to establish an army and air force system, with limited investment in the navy.

Everyone has a defect. Hu Chuyuan's defect is that he has a deep-rooted hatred and disgust for the Japanese. Even at the best stage of Shibata Toshio in charge of the Japanese situation, he did not agree with Shibata Toshio's proposal for an alliance between China and Japan.

If it is said that in the past, it was to be against China in order to become an Asian hegemon, now it is purely to retreat, only to protect itself, and not to become a special autonomous province in China.

The strategy of Japan is very simple. On the whole, they look forward to the victory of Britain, the United States and France, and what they need to do is to contain China and take it out as a pedal for the United States and the British navy, and concentrate on the development of the army and air force.

If they need to land in China to fight, they will send the army and air force on a large scale. If not, they can also send troops to Europe and Southeast Asia to fight while ensuring the security of their own countries.

The navy is very expensive. It did not fight against China. It invested a lot of its own less money in the army and established a security air force around the army.

However, with the support of British and American technical assistance, it also began to build autonomous 25,000-ton-class battleships and new aircraft carriers.

This kind of Japanese is not easy to deal with.

It's like a hedgehog. It may not be strong. Once it shrinks into a ball, it will be troublesome.

Japan's economy has not been bad in recent years. Because it is a relatively closed country, it has hardly been affected by the economic crisis. After joining the Anglo-American camp, it has exported a large number of its cheap industrial products to Britain, the United States and other countries, further accelerating its economic growth.

The data and intelligence that Li Kaiye is seeing now can be clearly shown. Since 1931, the Japanese economy has been in a high-speed development stage of about 5.5%.

He couldn't help thinking that it was a blessing to lose his horse.

On the contrary, the Japanese version of the defeat in the Far East War has received a period of stable development for 30 years. Now it is a rapid accumulation, and the overall economic and technical level has jumped a thousand miles.

Li Kaiye met Toshio Shibata. He really didn't expect that the handsome man who looked like a film actor could bring such a huge change to the Japanese book, known as the "giant of the Japanese book" and the "captain of the new era".

Thinking that Toshio Shibata may still be a centrist politician trained by Hu Chuyuan, Li Kaiye couldn't help sighing in his heart - your excellency, you really made a mistake!

He didn't dare to say that he made a small mistake.

In fact, it should be controlled directly through the expansion of the chaebols at the beginning. Even if the economic and industrial strength of the capital is improved, it can at least be controlled in your hand as a weapon.

It's good now.

Li Kaiye really didn't understand. He didn't know how such a visionary man as Hu Chuyuan could make such a mistake.

Unless...?

Li Kaiye suddenly thought, will it be that Hu Chuyuan deliberately wants to leave an opportunity to attack Japan again and sink all the wealth accumulated in the past 30 years of peaceful development?

"It's very difficult... My adult!!"

Li Kaiye frowned distressed and approved the best countermeasures he could think of in the report. He asked the people in the office of the presidential office to be transferred to the State Military Commission and the Prime Minister's Office respectively. By the way, he also asked someone to forward a special copy to Hu Chuyuan.

He thought that maybe there would be an answer from Hu Chuyuan.

The report he forwarded to Hu Chuyuan soon came back, and there was a new approval.

There is only one very simple word to reply, but it is very powerful.

"Boom".

This...?

Li Kaiye had a headache. After thinking about it, he called Hu Chuyuan.

After waiting for a while, Niu Shuxian, who remained unchanged for thousands of years, was transferred.

Hearing the voice of Niu Shuxian, which was extremely unbelieved by Li Kaiye, Li Kaiye had a little more headache. He really didn't understand what's good about Niu Shuxian. In the past, his surname was quite gentle, but now he is old, and the menopause is coming, and his surname is getting more and more rude.

This is really a typical case of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Li Kaiye gritted his teeth with hatred. After waiting for a long time, he connected to Hu Chuyuan and heard the voice of Lord Hu, who had not seen him for a long time.

He asked Hu Chuyuan with a smile, "Your Excellency, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, I'm listening to the news radio station. Now I'm dazzled. I'm too tired of reading newspapers. It's better to find someone to read the newspaper to waste other people's time. It's better to listen to the news radio directly."

Hu Chuyuan answered flatly.

Listening to his answer, Li Kaiye seemed to have seen the familiar Mr. Hu wearing a presbyopia glasses, holding a newspaper in his hand but unable to read the handwriting clearly, and a pleasant standard broadcast sound came from the radio next to him.

Li Kaiye laughed again.

He and Hu Chuyuan asked, "Your Excellency, let me tell you something. What kind of idea is it? I'm asking for specific ideas!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "You are the number one general in China. Do you still want to ask me? Let the Admiralty do a test to see if rocket launchers can be installed on 307 special container ships. The larger the caliber, the better. When their navy is sunk, you will bomb Tokyo, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka and Nagoya one by one. Japanese industrial cities are all offshore. Its natural ports are the first in the world, and the shortcomings are not here! It's okay to modify the aircraft carrier with a 307 special cargo ship, but you also need to consider the Japanese air force problem, right?

307 special cargo ship is a 30,000-ton special tanker developed by Hyundai Heavy Industries, with almost no buildings on the deck.

In terms of shipbuilding materials, technology, ship sinking resistance and defense, it obviously exceeds that of ordinary merchant ships, and the cost is very high. It is mainly ordered separately through SASAC and leased to domestic small and medium-sized transportation companies for use, ready to be converted into military supply ships, transport ships and aircraft carriers on a large scale in the war.

"Ha ha!"

Li Kaiye smiled. He finally understood that Hu Chuyuan had a plan to bomb the coastal industrial city of Japan very early.

This is a good way. You can cripple the Japanese version one by one without a large-scale landing, light up the Japanese-based industrial system one by one, and then slowly land and fight until the Japanese version is lighted.

As he continued to think about it, Hu Chuyuan said again, "There should be no other countries to intervene this time, so, you know... In addition, I will pay half of the military expenses of Japan, and give the Central Military Commission 500 million yuan of start-up money first."

"Ha ha!"

Li Kaiye laughed again. It's a good thing that someone sends money.

He knew that Hu Chuyuan hated Japan. After all, Japan repeatedly assassinated Hu Chuyuan, and it was the first Asian country to attack China.

A thousand years later, China still has to live next to each other. If this country is not defeated once, the future will be endless.

Although North Korea's economy is also very good and the whole light and heavy industry has developed, North Korea is not terrible. First, its economic subject is controlled by the Fukang consortium. Even the so-called local Samsung Heavy Industries, more than half of the shares control the Fukang consortium. Second, North Korea and China are only separated by a river and are stationed in the northeast. With 30 divisions, North Korea can be scared to death without going south.

It is easy to control North Korea.

It is far away, and there is a sea in the middle, so it is very difficult to attack.

In terms of national surnames, it is said that I am also much better than Koreans.

After talking on the phone with Hu Chuyuan, Li Kaiye felt much more comfortable. Indeed, Hu Chuyuan gave him a very good idea... That is, to bomb the industrial city along the coast until the light, whether to land and fight, let's talk about it later.

Now think about it, Li Kaiye thinks it's much more interesting.

He soon called the General Staff of the Navy to ask whether the 307 special cargo ship project had a similar reconstruction plan and test. The answer was really there. It was carried out very early. At present, there is a special 275mm rocket launcher, 12 combined, with a maximum range of 60 kilometers, which can be replaced with a variety of bombs. The head.

In addition, the 330mm rocket launcher is under development, equipped with 8 joints and using idiomatic guidance. The maximum range of the design is 120 kilometers, and the maximum error does not exceed 300 meters.

Both types of rocket launchers are both on-board and carrier-board.

The problem with the carrier type is that it has low wind and wave resistance. Even under windless conditions, the shooting accuracy of the rocket launcher will be greatly affected in the fluctuation of the ship itself.

Therefore, it can only be used for intensive air defense and ground attacks. Even for the latter with relatively lower requirements, the accuracy of the attack is very limited. It cannot attack specific targets, but can only carry out indiscriminate coverage bombing with cities and ports as the main targets.

Because the impact of the warhead is more powerful, the effect is better than artillery bombardment.

"That's very interesting!"

Li Kaiye couldn't help sighing in his heart. He put down the phone and thought about it in his heart. He always felt that the ship-borne rocket project was really aimed at the Japanese research.

The range of 120 kilometers is just right for a large number of ships to bomb Tokyo outside the port of Yokosuka.

Li Kaiye may not have thought that there may be other meanings in the word "Hang" mentioned by Hu Chuyuan. Of course, it depends on my luck. If the progress can't catch up, they will be lucky!
