Chapter 338: Armament Strategy

readx; After the war, the world situation basically stabilized, forming a pattern of China and the United States rising, while Britain began to decline. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eastern Europe was spread by the red regime of the Soviet state, and the Soviet Union was gradually formed, headed by the Russian Soviet.

The three major powers in the world are basically the Sino-Russian alliance represented by China, the Entente camp represented by the United States, and the Soviet regime headed by the Russian Soviet.

At the same time, there were post-war Germany and France.

France had a certain degree of disagreement with the Entente camp, and with Germany mutual hatred and vigilance, the hatred between the two countries had reached an extremely high level.

At this time, the world can be subdivided into three camps, four camps, or five camps.

The United States, Great Britain, and France form one camp, China and Russia form one camp, the Soviet Union forms one camp, Germany and France each form one camp, and France can also be classified into the camp of Britain, the United States, and Japan.

But the main camps are the three camps led by China, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was revolutionary so extreme that it was a half-crippled person, and they were hardly able to speak on the world stage, and their participation in the international economy was low.

The real ability of the Soviet Union is to act as a thug for Britain and the United States to block the westward expansion of the Sino-Russian camp.

At the same time, Britain and the United States have begun to encircle China on the sea, especially the United States, which is already very afraid of China.

On the earth at this time, only the two camps of China and the United States, whether it is Germany or the Soviet Union, have really suffered serious international battles.

For Germany in particular, the First World War cost Germany all of its overseas colonies and at the same time a large number of overseas assets.

Basically, German investment abroad has been almost completely wiped out, and international business activity has largely disappeared.

However, Germany still has a certain amount of technology, and it can indeed recover some after the war, but many of Germany's technologies have no advantages at this time, and China's technology is the most advanced in the world.

The real contradictions in the world are actually concentrated in the Asian dollar and the United States.

At the same time, it also focuses on armaments and foreign exports.

The three aspects are closely related, and exports have a greater impact on the Asian dollar and the US dollar, because exports mean that there is a trade deficit, and there will be no loss of precious metals.

No matter how the world is exploited, judging from the world situation at this time, there may be a war between China and the United States in the future.

Because both sides want to dominate the world.

Both sides also have the qualifications to dominate the world, that is, strength.

Each has its own advantages.

The United States has always been proud of the world's largest heavy industry system, but in 1919, the speed of China's heavy industry development was a shock to the American political axe and the American monopoly capitalists.

In just two quarters, China's steel production has doubled by 50 percent, from 36 million tonnes to a terrifying 49 million tonnes.

The steel output of the United States is only 56 million tons at this time, and the output of only 7 million is about to be caught up by China.

This has put tremendous pressure on the entire United States.

"Why is China's heavy industry capacity growing so fast?" Wilson asked, puzzled.

"They use the most advanced technology in the world, both in terms of mineral extraction and smelting methods, which are the most up-to-date."

"Their iron ore mining volume is very high, and they have a lot of iron ore reserves, and a large number of German skilled workers have arrived in China this year, so that China's heavy industry has broken through the constraints of talents, and the production capacity has skyrocketed."

"Damn the Chinese, how do they have so much advanced technology."

…… Freemasonry, a group of top capitalists, held a meeting in which the leaders of the Rothschild consortium, the Morgans, the Rockefeller consortium, and the Carnegie family were all present.

This is the main composition of the Freemasons in the United States, who formed the Federal Reserve, each holding a certain stake.

The American Freemasonry is a small number of centuries-old families, and the new family is the main organization, and its economic strength has surpassed that of the British Freemasons and the German Freemasons.

At this meeting, the main topic of discussion among the major families was the rising China.

China's rise, and its wariness of international capital and support for its own national capital, have shaken their interests as China continues to expand outward.

"In fact, there are two main problems, one is China's growing technological strength, which has reduced a lot of our advantages. The other is that China is a country that we can't control and can't integrate. The country is on the verge of unifying the whole of Asia. I don't think we can sit idly by and watch the situation in the world develop, we must completely abandon the policy of isolation, increase the United States' [***] reserves, and at the same time support the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union, especially the Navy......"

…… In China, Xia Jun also held a meeting.

At this meeting, the main purpose is to make plans for military development strategies, and this is a secret meeting, as long as the military top level participates.

"The future development path of the Navy is very clear, mainly developing naval aviation and submarine, air defense, and anti-submarine technology, but we must cover up our true direction, vigorously advocate the role of battleships, and hype up the battleship manufacturing plan, so that Britain and the United States will be caught in a battleship race." Xia Jun said to Xie Baozhang at the meeting.

Xie Baozhang nodded, he knew that the battleships were about to be eliminated by the times, and the navy would inevitably develop into naval aviation and submarines.

"Judging from the current results, it's still good. Britain and the United States said that at this time all three countries had drawn up new plans for the manufacture of battleships. Xie Baozhang said, "But next time I don't know if they will be in the trap." ”

"It's mostly about building momentum." Xia Jun said with a smile, "When the time comes, we will release ten battleships with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, and we are not afraid that they will not panic." ”

"In addition, if we can keep the development of aircraft carriers and submarines as secretive as possible, it is best to move the shipyard to the Nanyang Republic." Xia Jun said.

At this time, the Nanyang Republic had been purged by Xu Yuan to the point that only the Chinese remained, and the population of the Nanyang Republic was greatly reduced.

Moreover, the Nanyang Republic is a region with many islands, and the Chinese Empire can find a hidden port there, prohibit all personnel from approaching, and at the same time cut off contact with the outside world, and at the same time block the waters, and build aircraft carriers there.

And if you build an aircraft carrier in China's own coastal ports, it will be easy to spot.

After all, China's coastal areas are densely populated, and it is impossible to completely block the ports, and intelligence officers from various countries only need to stand on a high place and take a look at the telescope to see how big the shipyard is building.

After building several aircraft carriers at the same time, these aircraft carriers can be built in the same shape, and at the same time use the same designation, hull patterns, and logos, even if intelligence officers in other countries see a certain aircraft carrier appear in a certain port, they think that there is only one such aircraft carrier.

For the Navy, only a few senior officers will know about the real aircraft carrier formation, and most of the officers and sailors will not know either.

After the meeting, Xie Baozhang will send people to the Nanyang Republic to inspect and find a suitable secret base for aircraft carrier manufacturing and training.

"In terms of the air force, we still have to vigorously develop, we must establish a strategic bombing formation, and at the same time, we must have a variety of fighter models in order to better compete for tactical air supremacy." Xia Jun said: "But the air force also needs to be developed secretly, and other countries cannot be given a sense of crisis." ”

"The army, on the other hand, will focus on mechanization and transformation, and will also strengthen its technical reserves, so as not to burst out too strong."

In fact, Xia Jun intended to provoke a global arms race, but the purpose of this secret military meeting was to lead other countries astray, while he himself developed the most royal military technology.

One of the most important is the Air Force.

China is trying to attract other countries to invest resources in battleships, so that they don't have the money to invest in the air force and army.

China, on the other hand, has maintained a state of operation in the aircraft industry through its previously formulated civil aircraft export strategy to combat the aircraft manufacturing industry of other countries.

This is in line with the post-World War I context.

In this era, each country wants to weaken the armaments of other countries and strengthen its own armaments as much as possible, so as to ensure the security of their own countries.

The Washington Naval Accord is a prime example, in which the great powers maintained a certain level of naval strength through treaties.

At the same time, there was the disarmament agreement of the Inner Van, but in the end it was not entered into force by Germany and Italy.

The most fundamental reason for the "Washington Naval Accord" was that Britain did not have the money to build a navy, and in order to ensure its position as the world's naval supremacy, it had to join forces with the United States to limit the navies of various countries.

At this time, it is clearly impossible for China to participate in this Washington Naval Agreement.

China's aim is to drag other countries into a battleship race to weaken the air and land forces of other countries.

By the time they found out that the battleship they had built was ultimately just a pile of scrap metal, it was too late.

Although aircraft carriers appeared at this time, it was obvious that all countries still regarded battleships as the main force of their navies, and battleships would not withdraw from the stage of history until a large-scale naval battle took place to verify this law.

…… At this time, China had embarked on the road of war readiness, and boys in every school in the country were required to participate in military training, shooting targets every week, and at the same time learning basic combat and survival techniques on various battlefields.

Airlines opened one after another with the support of the political axe, so the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company received a large number of orders.

The East China 001 passenger aircraft has become famous in the world.

This all-metal airliner is not only safer, but also more comfortable to fly and has a longer flight distance, and for a time airlines from all over the world have sent orders to the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

The first is that there is a problem with the comfort of the traditional wooden aircraft, the second is that it is unsafe, and the third is that the flight distance is not long.

This has led to poor profitability for airlines that use wooden aircraft, and many of them even lose money.

In such a situation, the emergence of the East China 001 passenger aircraft makes up for this demand.

Moreover, only the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the world has manufactured this all-metal passenger aircraft, so it has become the only all-metal passenger aircraft manufacturer in the world.

It is impossible for the political axe to force these airlines to buy their own aircraft, which is indeed the case for European and American countries.

Those airlines must make a profit themselves, and they must buy the East China 001 passenger aircraft.

If you stick to the wooden planes, the result will be a dismal business and eventually close down.

The East China 001 passenger aircraft has brought new vitality and hope to the aviation industry, so airlines around the world are ordering this kind of passenger aircraft.

The East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company became the first to eat crabs, making the production of the East China 001 passenger aircraft very profitable.

After eating this profit, the East China Aircraft Manufacturing Company has begun to develop passenger aircraft with a better surname, these passenger planes do not need to be put into the market immediately, and they can wait for the East China 001 passenger aircraft to sell almost when the surname can be almost sold, and other countries also have passenger planes with similar surnames.

The large number of orders kept China's all-metal aircraft manufacturing lines running, while other countries had not yet been able to build decent all-metal aircraft.

Nowadays, in the whole world, only China has a relatively mature all-metal aircraft manufacturing technology, which benefits from the production experience accumulated by a large number of production.

It is not easy for other countries to squeeze into this market after China controls it, not only in terms of research and development, but it is impossible to get their own funds in research and development, so they must rely on the political axe to provide funds for research and development, and when research and development is done, the market is mainly occupied by China, and it is very difficult for them to meddle in this market. As a result, you may get some orders, but you have to rely on price advantages.

If the price is low, you will not be able to make enough money to invest in the upgrading of production equipment.

The United States is currently the most economically developed country in the world, so the cost of workers is relatively high, after all, it is a relatively complete capital country, and the cost of scientific research is much higher than that of China.

Although China's degree of technological development is no less than that of the United States, labor costs and scientific research costs are relatively low, and Xia Jun is basically buying technology from outside the plug-in, the United States is a sore foot in the high cost of scientific research and competing with China.

Except for some policies that the United States itself may adopt, in any other aspect, China's civilian airliner manufacturing has an advantage over the United States.

In terms of technology research and development, China adopts a combination of official research and private research.

One of the advantages of official research is that it has great power and a comprehensive foundation of conditions, but the efficiency is not necessarily high.

Private research institutes are different, they throw money into it, and the political axe may help them advance some of the money, but they still have to bear the risk. When the technology is researched, they will actively look for areas that can be applied and promote the technology to social production.

For these private research institutes, the Chinese Imperial Political Axe decides whether to fund their technology based on the project they are researching.

If the political axe is interested in the technology being developed, the political axe will help them advance part of the funds, and after success, the institute can choose to repay the subsequent profits of the political axe, or it can exchange the money for shares and give it to the political axe if both parties agree.

At the same time, when these research institutes popularize these technologies everywhere, they must have strict certification, otherwise they will cause a large number of scammers to fool the people everywhere and spend a lot of money to use some technologies that are meaningless, or simply have no technology at all, and completely deceive people.

Using new technology is profitable, but it is also risky.

Patents account for a very small proportion of patents, and many patents and new technologies actually do not have market operation value.

However, some technologies that do not have operational value in the market are useful in the military.

Because the military can ignore its cost, to a certain extent, only seek the most effect, if the effect is good enough, for such a large country, cost is not a problem.

At present, the more authoritative company in China is the East China Technology Promotion Company, which is a company specializing in the promotion of advanced technology.

Basically, a large number of advanced technologies in the market are promoted by the company.

It is not important whether a certain technology is advanced or not, the important thing is whether it can be applied to practical fields, and the scientific research institutions of many countries are corrupted, even if the scientific research ability is strong, but it is not linked to the application, and the technology is not applied to the actual production, which is equivalent to simply serving the military, and the role of increasing the comprehensive strength of the former country has not been fully played.

The vigorous promotion of advanced technology will enable a country to enter a state of continuous improvement of its productive forces, so that the country's productive forces will gradually improve in an all-round way, and thus become an economically developed country.

The reason why the East China Technology Promotion Company can obtain market authority and make the people trust is that the main point is to be pragmatic, and the technology it promotes is basically not the kind of cheating, and almost all of them can improve the national productivity of the people who accept the promotion.

Those ambiguous technologies, East China Technology Promotion Company basically does not promote to the field that can be applied, but to other private enterprise promotion companies to do, their own reputation is naturally maintained very well.

Producers in various fields use new technologies, and the East China Technology Promotion Company will provide guidance on all aspects to make the technology smoothly applied to the production process.

Among them, East China Group also has an internal technology promotion department, for many new technologies, this internal promotion department will be screened, and those with practical value in various fields of East China Group will be given priority to promotion.

At this time, you have money in East China Group, as long as you continue to maintain the leading edge of technology, you can maintain this market position, many times the development of enterprises is not a matter of vision, but a matter of money. There are many people who can see what technical reserves should be used in an industry in the future, but not everyone has the money to invest in the research of those technologies that may not be easy to touch at present, and only monopoly capital such as East China Group has enough money.

Moreover, if the technology is researched by me, I have a patent, and even if you research it yourself, you will have to pay me a patent fee.

It seems that this is very logical, in order to promote the development of technology.

In fact, this is an unfair thing, patents are a means for monopoly capital to ensure monopoly, such as the radio technology invented by Truss, and alternating current technology, American capitalists do not recognize that the patent of this project belongs to Truss for their own interests.

This patent is very beneficial to the East China Group and poses a serious threat to the monopoly capital of the United States, because many of the patented technologies in the hands of the East China Group are more advanced than those in the hands of the American monopoly capital.
