Chapter 276 Sino-British War

[276] Sino-British War

In the spring of 1886, Beijing Miyun Reservoir.

The wind is slightly cold and refreshing. As soon as the willow trees pull out their tender buds, they can't wait to dance with the wind. Dais and their friends emerge from the soft new soil and look at the new world sleepily.

Yao Fan, with his nine-year-old daughter Yao Yutian, carried shovels and saplings with central government cadres to Beijing's Miyun Reservoir, which was initially completed near winter last year. They wanted to plant trees on the barren slope nearby.

These comrades are old and young, with white hair and hairless mouths. They have different looks, but they all have something in common. They all smile, like children's spring outing, pointing to the completed Miyun Reservoir, and their faces are full of happiness.

How can the people not be proud of the glorious achievements of the motherland in the Second Five-Year Plan? How can you not be happy?

In the statistics of the Second Five-Year Plan just completed in 1886, the People's Republic of China has 12 million tons of crude steel production, which is equivalent to the total steel production of other countries in the world except China, about three times the second-class British steel production of more than 4 million tons. At the same time, the People's Republic of China also has 13 million tons of raw iron production capacity, 16 million tons of cement production, 30 million tons of crude oil production, 70 billion kilowatt-hour power generation capacity, 500 million tons of raw coal production capacity, 7 million tons of sulfuric acid production capacity, 50,000 kilometers of railway lines, 1,000 kilometers of electrified railways, 20,000 kilometers On civil aviation lines, the number of civil vehicles has exceeded 1.5 million, the annual consumption of pork, beef and mutton is 16 million tons, the population has expanded to 590 million, the number of primary school students has exceeded 70 million, the number of college students in various ordinary colleges and universities has exceeded 1 million, and the number of students in TV teaching colleges has exceeded 20 million...

This terrible development speed is like opening up alien technology, which makes the whole world stunned. Except for most of the indicators reaching the level of New China in the 1960s, some indicators, such as power generation, have soared to reach the level of the 1970s.

China's state-owned economy accounts for more than 85% of the total national economy, and the private economy has also developed rapidly, filling the gaps in all corners of the state-owned economy. It not only increases the number of employees, but also improves the overall benefits and scale of the national economy. Rural animal husbandry and feed industries have developed rapidly, and pig farming and cows are raising The countryside has become a trend, the shipbuilding industry is extremely prosperous, and the aircraft manufacturing industry is in full bloom. There are also 281 shipyards, large and small, light tanks and armored vehicles equipped with major army groups, and fighters and bombers have begun to join the battle sequence. The navy has appeared 10,000-ton gunboats, * frigates, and the construction of aircraft carriers has also risen to three. Five plans.

With the completion of the Second Five-Year Plan, the People's Republic of China has been like a muscular giant, overlooking the whole world from the height of Mount Everest.

Now China, with a light kick, the whole world must tremble!

"Chairman, here we are. That's the hill ahead." The guard reported Yao Fan.

Yao Fan's face is pale, which has nothing to do with his mood, mainly caused by frequent blood loss. Frequent space-time transmission, even if blood transfusion every time, is still a little unspensable. Now his body always feels heavy, and since the birth of his third child and the golden warbler, his body has become thinner and thinner.

"Comrades, let's start work!" Yao Fan unrestrainedly raised the shovel, went down with a shovel, and plunged deep into the soil.

........................

At this time, the arms race has entered a white heat.

After China exported the technical technology materials and a batch of production equipment of the Mauser 98 rifle to Germany, the Germans actually produced the quality Mauser 98 in only one year. Although the bullet production capacity is still limited, they finally have a mature bolt rifle with a lower magazine.

However, the United Kingdom has been delayed in imitating 56 semi-automatic rifles. Not only has it never been able to master the industrial precision processing of high-wound rifling and the metallurgical formula of barrel steel to prevent overheating deformation, but also the imitation of bullets cannot be broken through. The shell casing rate produced is surprisingly high. It always needs to be stuck once or twice in ten rounds, and The firing pin in the gun also broke from time to time, which made the disheartened British army have to give up its ambitious plan and choose a synchronous backup plan to install a Lee Metford bolt rifle with a magazine invented in China, but it is full of plagiarized in sight, buttstock, gun strap, bayonet and other details. 56 semi-automatic.

After China, countries put smokeless gunpowder into large-scale application, so countries not only tightened their belts and put on horse-bolt rifles on a large scale, but also invested in the development of stronger artillery and machine guns. The armies of various countries are constantly updating their equipment like horse lanterns, which is very busy.

After Germany, Britain also manufactured its own powder detector. Although this glass tube with metal debris is 108,000 miles away from the vacuum electron tube, it is the first step towards the radiograph machine.

But after the two countries discovered the radio machine technology, they did not put into production except for making several prototypes, making several trouble-remote communications, and making a big blow in the newspaper.

This is mainly because the quality and performance of Chinese products on the market are more than 10,000 streets away from their self-made powder detector radios. Instead of producing unreliable domestic products, it is better to reserve a large number of Chinese goods for preparation.

In the summer of 1886, the socialist #liberation movement led by the Labor International broke out in the British colony of Myanmar, and the People's Republic of China set up a peacekeeping force with the participation of China and Siam. Of course, according to the original liberation constitution, Siam has no armed forces other than the police at all, but pays military money to China every year to help with military protection.

United Nations troops poured into Myanmar and completed the formation of the Socialist Republic of Myanmar within a month. At the beginning of its formation, Myanmar joined the United Nations, and all diplomatic and military were as Siamese.

At this time, Britain finally reached an unbearable situation and brazenly declared war on China.

Before that, Britain had been preparing for five years, lying on firewood and galling, and was raising a huge army of 200,000 in the Indian colony. The Royal Navy has been reorganized on a large scale, and the East India Fleet has become the largest fleet outside the British Home Fleet, with 139 warships of various sizes, and has trained a number of coordinated tactics and tactics against the Chinese fleet!

In order to break China's rise by force, Britain and the United States signed an Atlantic agreement and proposed that the two sides jointly manage the Atlantic. Apart from Ottoman Turkey, it signed an agreement with Russia to hand over the seaport of Cyprus and the Bosphorus Strait to Russia. In this way, Britain combined the North American Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet into the Continental Fleet. It also kneaded the South African Fleet, the East African Fleet, the Cape Fleet, the East India Fleet, the West India Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, and called it the Overseas Grand Fleet.

The Empire of Sunset chose to gamble when facing the arrival of the sunset.

Almost at the same time as the British declared war, China chose to fight. The Kunming war zone was dispatched and roaring all the way west from Myanmar to attack Dhaka and Kolkata.

The newly built Tashkent war zone rushed south to Kabul, Islamabad and Lahore.

The Chengdu war zone, which has been adapted into the Lhasa war zone, went south from the two regions of Shigatse and Ali, crossed the Himalayan mountain pass, and attacked Kathmandu and Chandigarh.

The South China Sea Fleet, which has built a forward base in Banda Aceh, took the Marines and launched an attack on the coastal ports of East India.

With the reaction of France, the Netherlands, Spain and other current British allies, the revolutionary army has rushed into India, expanding the liberation campaign of India to the entire border.
