Chapter 297 When World War II is about to become a reality

Since 1933, the Chinese navy has secretly built the first Yabinsk-class aircraft carrier, and has kept all relevant information highly confidential.

On the other hand, after China and Germany launched super battleships, a new era was forced to kick off.

Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Russia and other countries have successively increased their plans to build super battleships. At first, Germany was two Bismarcks, Britain was four King George V, the United States was six Iowa, France was four Richelieu, and Italy was four Vinetos.

With the acceleration of various countries, Russia had to increase its plan and decide to build two Kursk-class super battleships, which quickly endangered Poland. Poland began to build two Kursk-classes with the support of China and Germany, Germany was forced to increase to four, and Britain immediately added four Stephen-class ships.

Under this powerful impulse to build ships, China also increased its plan to six Qingzhou-class super battleships, and built four additional super battleships for the two countries according to the needs of the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Kingdom.

Even countries that do not build super battleships have begun to build and buy new battleships. Australia and Canada buy from the United Kingdom, and North Korea, the Philippines, Egypt, Mexico and Chile buy from China.

This increasingly crazy situation has swept the world, and almost no country can avoid it. Even if the Nordic countries and South American countries declare external neutrality, even if they do not build, they will buy some fearless standard battleships from foreign countries as the basic defense force.

The battleships purchased by these countries basically have a unified feature, that is, the tonnage is small and the artillery force is strong. For this reason, China has specially designed a Mata-class super pocket battleship, which is equipped with a 50x diameter 380mm caliber main gun on the base of the heroic battleship, using high-speed light bombs to effectively fall. The impact force brought by low and large aperture will not affect the balance of the hull.

Due to the large production capacity of China's warships, the traditional strong position of the navy, the integration of supporting facilities, the cost, the efficiency ratio, the stable surname, the concept of super pocket... and other factors, during this period, most countries in Northern Europe and South America were buying this kind of Mata-class super pocket battleship.

It is said to be pocket, and the cost is not low. The cost of a single ship is 33.5 million yuan, which is 20% higher than the heroic battleship, and it is more expensive than the main gun.

Taking advantage of the profit margin of selling warships, the Chinese shipping administration can put forward a part of the money to subsidize the construction of the domestic navy, which is very important, especially in the case of an increase in the supply tonnage of special steel, which can greatly reduce the cost of the foundation.

For a long time, Britain has used this method to continue to maintain the preferential surname of the British navy's purchase of warships. Now it is China's turn to try this cheap thing.

The military spending data released by China's central government axe is the first in the world. In fact, there is still a large amount of military spending that has not been communiquéd. These military spending mainly come from two aspects, one is the donation of the consortium itself, and the other is the overseas cashing of national assets.

Since 1933, SASAC has begun to cash out assets in Europe and the United States through branches scattered in South America, Northern Europe, Switzerland and Asia, especially in the U.S. market.

At the lowest point of the U.S. stock market plunge, the China International Investment Bank Company, a subsidiary of SASAC, began to intervene in the United States, Germany and other disaster-stricken areas on a large scale, investing in land, stocks, bonds, futures, as well as investing in small and medium-sized banks and providing guaranteed financing. Overseas assets.

Although this large-scale bottom fishing has accelerated the recovery of the British and American camps, it has also sought a lot of economic benefits.

This money will eventually be used for further domestic investment in construction and military spending, and then use huge military spending to establish a more powerful military force, and provide generous hidden military treatment to prepare for further national expansion.

This is a more mysterious militarism, but it is also a road of no return.

At present, these secret military expenses are mainly used in Xinjiang Province, Shaanxi, Ganning and Southwest China. The world's largest defense research center and training base have been secretly established, and the new equipment of the air force and army are almost concentrated in these places for training.

At Qaidam Air Force Base, there are more than 3,000 intensive training sessions every year, where most of the air force pilots representing the whole country conduct secret exercises.

After all, the core of the force is still the army. The army has 14 national training bases in areas with different terrain and climate environments. Every year, there are different national exercises and training. Each division in the country will send the most potential young officers to participate.

In this kind of exercise, the platoon leader should learn to be a company commander, and the company commander should learn to be a battalion commander... Through this temporary promotion training, the command ability and overall concept of young officers are constantly increased.

The Chinese navy mainly focuses on the Sulawesi Sea area, the Sakhalin Sea (called the Okci Sea in Russia) and the Ryukyu Sea to hold large-scale military exercises, especially in recent years, because the main projects are often changed to aircraft carrier-centered, the exercises will be very confidential and the location will continue to change.

The naval military expenditure has increased relatively, and the new expenditure that can be checked mainly focuses on the replacement of the equipment of the marine division. The construction of aircraft carriers mainly uses stealth military expenses to avoid being discovered by enemy intelligence agencies.

With the development of the trend of war preparation, the domestic National Guard has also been reorganized into the National Guard, increasing the training scale and non-commissioned officers, increasing the replacement of equipment, and implementing the training plan of the quasi-second-line regiment for the National Guard.

During this period, the engine engine of the propeller fighter increased to 1,100 horsepower, which is 20% higher than the international world average.

Domestic helicopter technology has taken shape, and small-scale secret service and testing are being carried out in the northwest and southwest regions. There are also more than a dozen helicopters in the naval secret base, which are mainly used for reconnaissance work, especially anti-submarine reconnaissance.

Although there is no large-scale installation, the apron of helicopters has been considered in advance in the destroyers, cruisers and battleships designed and produced after 1925.

The design of armed helicopters is also accelerating research, and the first armed helicopter is expected to appear in 1935.

The research work of rocket launchers and missiles has made great progress. The current test model continues to strengthen the accuracy of the usual gyroscope. Theoretically speaking, the biggest difference between rocket launchers and missiles is whether there is guidance equipment. However, domestic large-caliber rocket launchers also have plans and tests to install cheap guidance equipment. The inspection project, of course, is mainly aimed at the Japanese version.

carrier-based missiles are also being studied. To this end, new models of Angola-class missile cruisers have been studied in China.

Now, an important topic of the National Institute of Military Industry is to integrate multiple radar systems, effectively increase the monitoring accuracy of radar, form three monitoring systems on the seabed, sea and air, and use the unified command system to effectively control the entire weapon system.

Relying on abundant national fiscal revenue and the appreciation of national assets, while military expansion, the construction of the domestic colonial system, especially overseas provinces, is still strengthening. Within Southeast Asia and the Asia-Europe League, the proportion of state investment and national capital investment is still expanding.

The centrist political party policy laid down by Hu Chuyuan has continuously deepened the construction and improvement of the national economic system through the policy of macroeconomic regulation and construction, and continuously increased the national economic income and industrial support policy under the premise of being conducive to economic development. This series of ideas is still promoting the continuation of China's economy. Rapid development.

Since 1931, China's total GDP has continued to develop rapidly at a high speed of not less than 7%, and the national economy has also maintained a balanced development of exports and domestic demand.

The international situation continues to be tense. With the gradual increase of military strength, since 1935, national expansionism has obviously gained the upper hand. In 1936, China's Hawaii reached an agreement to join the autonomous state and absorbed the Kingdom of Hawaii as an overseas autonomous state.

After losing the competition, the United States was forced to withdraw its navy from Pearl Harbor. In the same year, the U.S. Congress passed the Emergency Military Expenses Act, which greatly increased the military spending of the U.S. Navy and began a comprehensive maritime competition with China.

In 1937, China's colonial army in Africa began to intervene in Central Africa and Chad one after another, and tried to build the railway from Sudan to Libreville. China and France continued to have small-scale conflicts in Central Africa, forcing the French colonial army to retreat intermittently to the north.

In 1938, the number of Chinese troops in Yunnan, Afghanistan and Kashmir increased significantly, and Britain was forced to increase the size of the colonial army in Myanmar and India, and made the armed Indian colonial army the core task of maintaining Britain's rights and interests in Asia.

Since 1938, China has continuously challenged Britain on the literacy of Myanmar, Malaya and India, and began to support local armed forces to launch attacks on Britain by supporting the rebels and other means.

At the same time, as its military strength had been restored to the pre-World War I scale, Germany also began to ask France to return the Lorraine, Alsace region, and the colonies that Germany had before World War I, and it became more and more tough, and the size of its navy gradually surpassed that of France.

In order to further entrap Italy, Spain and Portugal, Britain and France gave Ethiopia to Italy. Libya, which is actually in China's hands, also nominally recognized that it belonged to Italy. Morocco gave it to Spain and promised to return Angola to Portugal. China held it in South America. Some colonies will belong to the United States.

The United States may not care about the two overseas provinces of Central Guiana and Suriname held by China in South America, but it has to treat the rise of Germany and the new crisis of Europe as a whole.

The war between the Atlantic Alliance and the Eurasian Alliance has reached an inevitable stage.

During this period, the Chinese navy already had six Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers and built two New Siberian-class aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 75,000 tons to match the FEI-7 jet aircraft.

Around the Jabinsk-class aircraft carriers, Congo-class cruisers and heroic-class battleships have been extensively modified. The new Chunwu-class destroyers and Chaoyu-class and Chaoyu II-class destroyers are also in large-scale service. The new generation of CV-13, CV-15 and CV-17 submarines have completed more than 140 in China. In Germany, the model with roughly the same technical data is called the V-103 submarine, with a total number of more than 100.

These submarines are all equipped with the best submarine engine engines and radio communication devices available in China, as well as underwater radar systems and sonar systems. Torpedoes use radar guidance technology and more accurate habitual guidance devices.

The CV-19 submarine specially retained by the Chinese navy is equipped with a new muffler and explosion-proof outer tile technology, which can avoid most of the existing sonar systems and resist the attack of deep-sea bombs to a certain extent.

In terms of the total size of battleships, the Chinese navy has six Qingzhou-class super battleships, eight Yuzhou-class battleships and 22 Congo-class battleships. The total tonnage of battleships ranks first in the world, 233,000 tons higher than the second-placed United States.

At the overall air force level, in addition to a large number of FEI-5 and the entire improved series of fighters, the Chinese Air Force is also secretly building FEI-7 jets on a large scale.

In the army, the Chinese army has completed the full replacement of the T-30 main tank series. On the basis of retaining a large number of TZB-7 and TZB-27 series infantry armored vehicles, thousands of TZB-33 series have been updated at the same time, and the T-30II series and TZB-39 series have also been completed. Design.

The Army Air Force has completed a comprehensive formation. Without the support of the Air Force, the Army can also complete tactical tasks such as regular aviation reconnaissance and small and medium-scale ground-covered attacks.

The armed reconnaissance helicopter WZ-3 has completed the production of more than 2,000 aircraft in China, but it continues to concentrate on training in the northwest and is not immediately put into service. At this stage, the WZ-3 still lacks portable missile weapons. At present, it mainly uses 30mm aircraft machine guns as the main attack weapon.

Therefore, the main task of WZ-3 is to be responsible for auxiliary attacks and reconnaissance on the ground, as well as escorting the Z-8 helilift to carry out the transfer of small-scale raid troops in the Army Air Force.

The naval ship-based modified model WZ-3HE of WZ-3 is ready for service, just waiting for the final approval of the General Staff of the Navy.

During this period, Germany already had the military force of the Asia-Europe alliance second only to China, followed by Poland, Austria, Osman, Ukraine, Persia, Serbia, North Korea, Egypt and Greece.

China and Germany have established African General Staff in Egypt and Congo, which are solely responsible for commanding the African military zone.

In response, Britain, France and Italy have also increased their military strength in Africa. In order to prevent Germany's raid on Belgium, Britain and the United States also sent more than 200,000 troops in Belgium. In response, China's troops in Albania also increased to 330,000.

The world war has long been on the verge of breaking out. All countries have entered the stage of full preparation. The German army has rapidly expanded to 3.4 million people, while the Chinese army has reached 5.5 million people, of which about one-third are stationed in Africa and Mexico.

World War II is no longer a lingering shadow, but a reality.

In 1939, British Prime Minister Churchill said... Afraid of not being able to solve any problems, we must bravely solve these damn troubles!

Yes.

Hu Chuyuan also thinks so.
