Most of the orders received by the East China Autonomous Political Axe are technical orders, that is, things that can only be manufactured by the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and most of the orders are still handed over to the United States.

However, after this armistice, the East China Autonomous Axe has a large increase in orders for non-technical advantages, and Britain is no longer so partial to the United States, and many orders have also begun to be issued to the East China Autonomous Axe.

On the Russian side, the Russians, seeing that Ben had been defeated in Shandong, quickly became interested in the weapons sold by the East China Autonomous Axe.

What's more, the East China Autonomous Axe bribed the foolish ministers reused by the Russian Emperor Nicholas II.

Nicholas II understood that he was not very capable, so he appointed ministers and absolutely did not appoint those who were smart, because then he could not control them.

As for those who are more stupid, of course, they may not be really stupid, and their brains should still be very useful, but their abilities are relatively low, and their style is relatively [***].

These ministers accepted bribes, and naturally in front of Nicholas II they boasted about how sophisticated the weapons sold by the East China Autonomous Government were, and what kind of benefits Russia had in buying their weapons than buying them.

In this world war, Russia mobilized six million people, and as a result, a third of the soldiers did not have rifles.

Six million people, what an exaggerated concept!

Even China, the world's most populous country, would have enough to raise a force of two million men, and six million men would be a relatively high annual rate for Russia.

It is not difficult to show that the Russian revolution had a great soil for survival.

However, at present, Germany has not yet sent Lenin back to Russia, and there is no possibility of a revolution for the time being.

Russia, a bulky empire, was quick to get bribes, and Russia first ordered nearly fifty million pounds sterling in arms orders.

That's about 360 tons of gold.

The trade between the two sides was carried out by the Eastern Railway, which was a railway built by Russia to the Far East, and the current South Manchurian Railway was also built by the Russians, but it was captured by the Russians in the Great War of Russia.

However, at this time, whether it was the Jingfeng Railway or the South Manchurian Railway, they had been taken over by the East China Army. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Yuben.

However, at this time, the army lacked artillery and aircraft, and could not defeat the East China Army at all, so it had no other way but to continue to send troops to Korea.

Since the railroad was already controlled by the East China Autonomous Government, the East China Army could transport goods directly from the territory to Moscow, Russia.

Most of the arms ordered by Russia are cheap arms with little technical name, such as stamped bolt rifles, which are the weapons that Russia orders the most, and the rest are bullets and shells, and the price is still on the high side. The wool is out of the sheep, and since they took a bribe, they naturally have to give the East China Autonomous Political Axe a preferential price.

In the past few months, the military industry of East China's autonomous political axe has developed on a large scale, and these orders have been received, and the production capacity is still relatively abundant.

Xia Jun soon convened a military meeting.

The army, navy, and air force were all present at the military meeting, and the main discussion was the issue of military expansion.

"It is foreseeable that after we lift the naval blockade, we will have a large-scale increase in troops in Shandong, and the number of troops will reach 600,000 according to conservative estimates, but there may be more. In addition, the army will have aircraft, as well as a large number of artillery, and will strengthen the defense line of Longkou. Xia Jun sat at the head and said to the senior leaders of the three armed forces in the meeting, "The army and the air force will face severe challenges, and we must ensure that the army can annihilate the Shandong army." The premise is absolute superiority in air supremacy and artillery, as well as our secret weapon - the dreadnought! ”

"In addition, at the moment our industry is developing, overseas trade is also developing rapidly, our maritime power is seriously insufficient, we must have a strong enough navy to maintain our overseas trade, and after a year and three months, the navy must be able to blockade the Bohai Bay."

With Xia Jun's words, the top leaders of all armies raised their spirits, which was obviously to expand the army and increase military spending.

At present, China has made a lot of war money, and its financial resources have been able to support military development.

"What is the Army's plan?" Xia Jun asked Chen Xuanyu.

Chen Xuanyu stood up and said, "Report to the chairman, first of all, I think that we should at least be equal in terms of strength and the number of troops, so we still need to mobilize twenty-eight divisions. In addition, we need to massively equip combat vehicles to win this war. It also strengthened its superiority in artillery fire and continued to add three artillery divisions. ”

Expand the army by 400,000!

Everyone present took a breath of cold air, plus these 400,000, the strength of the East China Army has reached 700,000, how much military expenditure will be spent on such a huge force!

Xia Jun nodded after hearing this and said, "The expansion of the army is certain, and the army will come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Chen Xuanyu had a smile on his face, the army could finally expand. 700,000 troops is not too much for such a large country.

After all, China is not the United States, and for a country as big as the United States, 50,000 troops are enough, which is really an exaggeration, but people are not a. This is not the case with China, which is surrounded by enemies that need to be cleared away.

"What are the plans of the Navy?" Xia Jun turned his head and asked.

Xie Baozhang got up and replied: "Report to the chairman, the navy plans to launch two aircraft carriers for training as soon as possible, repair and refit the salvaged Fuso and Hiei, and build two more battle cruisers, so that next year a surface combat fleet with aircraft carriers as the core can be formed, and with the air force, it is not a problem to blockade the Bohai Sea." ”

"Okay, the navy will also come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible." Xia Jun also approved the general plan of the navy.

"Yes."

Xia Jun did not ask about the Air Force's plan next, but said directly: "The Air Force is the key to ensuring the victory of the army and navy, so we need to build planes, but we can't be dragged into the quagmire by the war, the Air Force will immediately retire and sell the equipped Heavy Hammer 2 bombers, it will be difficult to sell if it is late, we will equip new aircraft!" ”

…… At this time, the East China Aircraft Factory received a very large manufacturing task, that is, to produce 1,000 new wooden monoplanes.

The drawings of the aircraft had already been sent, a wooden aircraft that had never been made at the East China Aircraft Factory, and they were very skeptical that the order had been sent by mistake.

Unbuilt planes let them build a thousand?

However, to the foresight of the managers, the plane was also made of plywood, but the wood between the plywood was replaced by a tropical light wood called balsa wood, which was very cheap and had been imported by the aircraft factory on order.

In other words, the superiors have been thinking about this issue for a long time.

Anthony? After looking at the drawings of this aircraft, Fokker felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and from the design point of view, it was a relatively beautiful aircraft.

The name of this aircraft was given the H-14 Mosquito bomber, Mosquito? The name is somewhat strange.

However, this aircraft should be a long-range bomber, because it uses two water-cooled 1300 horsepower engines, and none of the aircraft currently equipped by the East China Air Force is equipped with such a high-horsepower engine, and it is still two.

This is Document No. 1!

In addition, there are documents No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4.

Document No. 2 is for aircraft factories to develop an 'all-metal single-wing, three-engine heavy tactical bomber' with a bomb load of more than 4,000 kilograms.

Document No. 3 is for aircraft factories to develop 'all-metal strike aircraft', which requires good low-altitude survivability and strong ground machine gun firepower.

The four good documents were for the aircraft factory to develop an 'all-metal tactical dive bomber', and required the installation of a whistling device on the head of the aircraft to use the sound of dive terror to demoralize enemy soldiers.

These documents were all issued by Xia Jun himself, and as the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, he naturally handled the equipment of the Air Force, and the same was true for the Army.

The biggest surname of freedom is the navy, in addition to giving money and building core submarines and aircraft carriers, Xia Jun is free to the navy, just don't embezzle the money.

Xia Jun began to sacrifice a killer weapon - a mosquito bomber!

This is in preparation for the bombing of the homeland, and the Mosquito bomber can reach a maximum speed of 657 kilometers per hour, which is really too perverted, in this era. At the same time, in terms of range, the mosquito bomber also reached 3,009 kilometers, enough to bomb most of the cities in Japan, and the bomb load reached 1,800 kilograms.

This kind of bomber can not only be used as a strategic bomber, but also subverts the concept of low-altitude bombing in tactical bombing, and it can fly very low! In a low-altitude flight, its presence is completely undetectable by radar.

Prior to these four documents, the aircraft factory had already received the task of constantly creating Hammer 3 bombers.

The Air Force began to eliminate Hammer 2, and now Hammer 2 can still be sold for a good price. And those heavy hammer 3 bombers equipped by the air force, when the heavy tactical bomber heavy hammer 4 is manufactured, and after the end of the Shandong war, they will all be sold, anyway, the European battlefield is in full swing, don't worry about no market, these bombers can't rot in their own hands!

Wooden planes, with the exception of the fastest Mosquito bomber, have little future, and all-metal planes will take to the stage.

At the same time, the Mosquito bomber can also be converted into fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and other types.

However, the investment is also relatively large, the drawings of the Mosquito bomber require 500 million points, but it is still very worthwhile, and this aircraft can even be used until the end of World War II.

At this time, the tank factory was building a large number of Type 13 dreadnoughts, and it is expected to build 1,600 vehicles in the first year to form four armored divisions, as well as some vehicles for other non-armored divisions.

The East China Army will be equipped with a large number of chariots and planes, and the purpose is naturally to give Xiao Yueben a ruthless stick, so that they can taste the taste of blitzkrieg.

Blitzkrieg is not the kind of combat mode in which tanks are dispersed into infantry divisions, but a large number of tanks are concentrated and used, and then the cooperation of artillery and air force is used to quickly tear a hole in the enemy's defense line, and then penetrate in depth to achieve the purpose of division and encirclement.

However, while Xia Jun was preparing to form an armored division to carry out a blitzkrieg against the army, the infantry division was also assigned some tanks, mainly to improve morale and reduce casualties.

In addition, the Spitfire Chariot is naturally not missing!
