Chapter 284: Sino-Japanese Naval Equipment Competition
readx; In the Yellow Sea, schools of hairtail fish bite one end at a time and are pulled up by the foolish people with fishing hooks, these hairtail fish are very greedy, and one bite is a large string, one bite the other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the golden sunset, the fishermen diligently cast their nets, and the fish in the nets were caught, and the number of fish made them happy.
Where in the past could you catch so many fish in a day, now the boats and nets are newer, and there are many more fish than before.
However, taxes are also high, which is a very realistic situation.
The profits of marine fishing are relatively large, especially after replacing with large boats and large nets, each fishing boat can catch a lot of fish.
In terms of fishery, there are many fishing companies, they have the capital to purchase large ships, and they have the capital to build a complete fishing and processing chain, so these fishing companies are currently the leading fishing industry.
Some fishermen take out their own loans to buy boats, but they are not very competitive.
Zhongsheng Group and Huasheng Group are the two major hegemons in the fishery at present, they have funds, financing channels, and fishing equipment purchase channels, there is really no enterprise to compete with them.
The two groups of fishing companies are currently fishing not only in China's coastal fisheries, but also off the coasts of Indonesia, Myanmar and North Korea, and sometimes even in their own waters under the protection of warships.
Among them, the most serious dispute with the Hokkaido fishing grounds is the Hokkaido fishing grounds, because half of Sakhalin Island belongs to China, and the waters here are close to the Hokkaido fishing grounds, and the fishing companies of the two major groups often jump into the Hokkaido fishing grounds.
In terms of distant-water fishing, it is the business scope of the East China Group, which fishes in the South China Sea, Bering Sea, Pacific High Sea, Antarctic Sea, Indian Ocean High Sea, and Atlantic High Sea, among which there is basically no competition in the open sea of the Atlantic Ocean.
At this time, Europe was at war, and the distant-water fishing vessels of various countries were no longer out of the port, and the Chinese distant-water fishing vessels were fishing on the high seas under the Chinese flag, and German submarines would not attack these Chinese fishing boats.
Many of these fishing boats were exchanged by Xia Jun directly from the exchange platform, and the price of these fishing boats was very cheap, and the shipyard did not have much energy to make fishing boats at this time, so Xia Jun directly relied on the exchange.
After a large number of advanced fishing vessels were exchanged, the fishing industry embarked on the road of rapid development.
As a result of the rapid development of the fishing industry, a large number of cheap fish products have entered the dining table of the Chinese people, and the price of fish can be said to be very cheap due to the large amount of fish.
Fish caught from various seas are shipped back to China and then processed into a variety of seafood that is not only supplied for domestic consumption, but also exported abroad in large quantities.
The development of fisheries and fishery processing has led to many jobs.
Conflicts over the fishing industry often occur between China and China. Although the navy has shrunk, their Ministry of Foreign Affairs has often protested to China.
Today protest the entry of Chinese fishing boats into North Korean waters, and tomorrow protest the entry of Chinese fishing boats into Hokkaido fishing grounds.
China has freely acknowledged that fishing boats have entered North Korean waters, but North Korea is a traditional vassal state of China, and China has jurisdiction over its waters.
As soon as this year's fishing season arrived, the Chinese Navy immediately went to the waters of the DPRK on a large scale to threaten the navy militarily.
The vitality of the combined fleet has not yet recovered, and the Chinese navy has not only the Fujian battleship, but also the Zhejiang battleship that has just been launched, as well as three Haidun Type 3 heavy cruiser battleships, namely the Minjiang, Ganjiang, and Qiantangjiang, as well as the legendary aircraft carrier 'Shihuang', as well as several other light cruisers and frigates.
The lineup is so strong that the navy is so strong that the navy is in no mood to go out to confront the Chinese navy, what if someone suddenly fires?
The political axe of the Chinese Empire is also not the slightest sure of the impulsive surname of the young head of the Chinese Empire, and the navy has finally recovered a little bit of family foundation, if it is defeated again, what will it do?
For this reason, the Chinese Navy can only keep protesting against the Chinese Navy's exercises in North Korean waters, but the Chinese Foreign Ministry has ignored them.
The Chinese navy was followed by a large group of fishing boats, which began fishing operations as soon as they reached North Korean waters.
For this reason, a group of fishing boats did not carry out fishing operations in North Korea, but followed the Chinese navy to Sakhalin Island, and the Chinese navy arrived at the Sakhalin military port and immediately conducted military exercises on the edge of the Hokkaido fishing grounds.
The group of fishing boats rushed directly into the Hokkaido fishing grounds, where they fished in full view of the fishermen.
Moreover, these fishing boats still use large trawls that cut off offspring and grandchildren, and even small fry are not spared when they are dragged over, and this kind of trawl is forbidden to be used in China's coastal waters.
In their opinion, they have never lost to the Chinese Navy, but only to the Chinese Air Force.
In their eyes, the Chinese Navy is just a clown jumping off the beam, and there is a sense of being played by shrimp in the shallows of dragons and tigers falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.
The Chinese Navy not only supports Chinese fishing boats entering the waters to fish, and arrests fishermen as soon as they enter Chinese waters, but also confronts them if they try to cross the line, even if they have only one frigate.
At this time, China was not afraid of a naval battle, because at this time the navy had advantages in warships and air force, and it was not at all afraid of the combined fleet that would be half-crippled by the air force.
At the same time, the Chinese navy is also trying to provoke disputes in order to eliminate the power of the navy.
The southward route of the Chinese Navy was blocked by the Chinese Navy, and the Chinese Navy's naval bases on the Ryukyu Islands monitored the movements of the Navy.
The route that the navy can take is the Philippine Sea in the southeast, but the merchant ships can still go through Chinese waters, but China has driven a nail in the Strait of Malacca, and once China blockades the Strait of Malacca, the economy will be hit hard.
At the same time, the passage of Indonesian waters such as the Sunda Strait and the Panda Sea is controlled by China, and it is said that it is very vulnerable to China's naval blockade during this war.
As for the passage from the Pacific Ocean to the United States, it is also a good passage, so at this time, Ben focused on relying on the United States and began to actively establish good relations with the United States.
However, before that, Ben's foreign economy was mainly to expand westward, and the traditional market was Asia, and there was not much economic relationship in the Americas.
South America has always been the backyard of the United States, and it cannot compete economically with the United States, which is closer to it.
After more than two years of development, the combined fleet has recovered some strength, and it has built a Fuso-class battleship as quickly as possible.
The basic surname can be no different from the previous Fuso-class battleships, but the addition of anti-aircraft guns, focusing on strengthening air defense capabilities, and at the same time strengthening the armor protection of the waterline for submarines, but the anti-torpedo watertight compartment has not been installed, and the protection of small-caliber torpedoes can be better, but for 533mm caliber torpedoes, there is not much protection effect.
After learning that the Chinese battleships were probably surnamed Neng, the spies temporarily stopped building the Fuso-class battleships and tried to build more powerful battleships than the Huadong-class battleships.
The East China-class battleships surpassed the Fuso-class battleships in terms of firepower, speed, and armor, and they did not know how many the Chinese Navy planned to build, and the rebuilding of the Fuso-class battleships obviously could not compete with the Chinese Navy.
Because of the bullying in the fishing industry, it greatly stimulated the determination of the government and the people of the country to develop the navy, and the government allocated a large budget to the navy, and the people of the navy also enthusiastically donated money and materials to the navy.
After the defeat of the Sino-Chinese war, the working and peasant class also embarked on the road of uniting with the bourgeoisie to support the resistance against China.
The "National Spiritual General Mobilization Order" and the "National General Mobilization Law" were promulgated to comprehensively strengthen the state's control over society. Factories and enterprises have established industrial newspapers one after another, realizing the true integration of labor and capital. The trade union clearly wrote in the program "industry to serve the country" or "industry to serve the public", stipulating that workers should not be absent from work for personal reasons, and should strive to reduce accidents, save materials, use waste, and improve labor productivity.
In addition, it has launched a campaign to subscribe to "patriotic public bonds", requiring every worker to save every month and raise "national defense contributions". On 9 July, the House of Commons unanimously passed the "Resolution on Thanking the Imperial Army," which was endorsed by the members of the proletarian party.
The imperial power of the Emperor was very stable, and the whole country was immersed in the worship of the Emperor, and at the same time, under the impetus of the Ming Cooking, the whole of the Emperor could be said to be very united, and its degree of unity even exceeded that of the current Chinese Empire.
The emperor was the spiritual pillar of the people, and even the U.S. military did not dare to cancel the imperial system after defeating him.
Xia Jun also saw the benefits brought by the imperial system, and began to take the road of theology, so that the people could have a spiritual pillar and strengthen the unity of the people.
It is said that the political axe and the people were all dragged into the construction of the navy, which achieved Xia Jun's predetermined goal, and the economy of the country wanted to compete with China in the navy, which was simply a fool's dream, and at this time China's total economic output was already more than ten times that of the capital.
Before the outbreak of the First World War, the agricultural output value was still higher than the industrial output value, and the scale of China's agriculture today is more than ten times that of the capital, and this was when the agriculture of the country did not suffer the impact of China's agriculture, and today, the output value of China's agriculture is more than 30 times the scale of the agriculture.
What is called the land is vast, this is the vastness of the earth.
It is said that the industry has developed during the First World War, but the withdrawal of foreign capital, coupled with being dragged into the quagmire of war by China, and the competition in the overseas market is not as fast as China, so it did not completely seize the opportunity, but through some orders handed over to the Entente countries, it still made a lot of money, so the data was not too ugly, but it is an indisputable fact that China's total economic output exceeds the capital by more than ten times, and China's economic development potential is very large, and the country is a small country. Its economic development potential is no longer good, especially under the siege of China's economy.
He said that if he wanted to use such an economy to fight with China for naval armament, he would only drag down his own economy in the end, while it would be easy for China to build its navy.
Although this year's naval military spending is very high, it is no problem to increase it by two or three times, and the only thing that can be counted on is Britain, the United States, and France, but France is obviously unlikely to come up with money to support it, so it is Britain and the United States that can be counted on.
The United States is very active in this regard, especially after China has fully demonstrated its vigilance against international capital, and the United States knows that if it does not bring down the mountain of China, international capital will not be able to operate smoothly in the international arena.
Britain also intends to contain China, because China's rise in Asia has begun to threaten Britain's world hegemony, to be precise, China has begun to despise Britain's world hegemony, not only favoring Germany in the war, but also seeking to seize most of Burma.
Moreover, China's rapid foreign expansion has aroused the vigilance of Britain.
However, Britain had a weakness in the Indian colony, and China was building roads to Tibet Province at this time, and set up a second-level military region in Tibetan Province, with the sword pointed directly at the British colony of India.
The Russian Provisional Government is also actively in contact with the Timber Axe, mainly to discuss the matter of jointly resisting China. At this time, the Russian Provisional Political Axe did not know that a catastrophe was coming.
In general, at this time, he was beaten by a group of powers who were standing behind him, and these powers all used him as a gun, but he was willing to be a gun, and if he didn't use his gun, he couldn't compete with China.
However, he was still very embarrassed, because at this time, there was no one who had much money to engage in a naval arms race with China, and because the relationship between the island countries was completely unworkable, in fact, the fundamental problem was that he had to stand on the opposite side of China because of his ambition to expand outward.
With the arrival of this year's autumn, the agriculture of Yuben is once again facing a 'trial'.
After all, this is a small country, and there are no agricultural products that can be exported, and in the past, it was said that it relied on the export of raw silk in exchange for foreign exchange, but now the raw silk industry has been completely crushed, and China's raw silk industry has also broken the raw silk industry of other countries.
However, with the loss of Taiwan, Ryukyu, and half of Sakhalin, the loss of agriculture was very large.
The newspaper has already adjusted import tariffs on China's agricultural products, and basically China's grain cannot be sold when it enters the country.
But in terms of many agricultural products that have to rely on imports, he has no choice but to pinch his nose and buy Chinese agricultural products, such as cotton.
China's textile industry can not enter the market, said that I want to engage in the textile industry by myself, but there is no way to be self-sufficient in raw materials, so I can only rely on imports from China.
At the same time, there is also sucrose, when Taiwan was occupied in the past, Taiwan's sucrose was able to meet the needs of the capital, but now sucrose needs to be imported, and it is completely dependent on imports, and there is not enough land to grow sugar beet.
And with the unification of China, the Chinese political axe began to grow sugar beets in the north.
