Chapter 409: Military Equipment Update

readx; In 1935, after Hitler obtained the legal right to read, Hindenburg also hung up in that year, which deprived Hitler of the last obstacles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Under these circumstances, Hitler openly tore up the Treaty of Versailles and expanded the German Army from 100,000 to 300,000.

Britain and France reacted sensitively and opposed Germany's actions.

However, the attitude of the United States towards Germany during this period was ambiguous, because Hitler the mustache was very close to the United States, and the United States promised Germany that as long as it maintained a common front with the United States against the Third World Alliance, the United States would allow Germany to expand to a certain extent.

The United States does not object to Germany tearing up the Treaty of Versailles because Germany is next to Poland, which has already joined the Third World Alliance, and if Germany also falls to the Third World Alliance, then Europe will be finished, Africa will no longer be retained, and the United States will be completely surrounded by the Third World Alliance.

It is not an option to keep Germany's military power empty, and only by making Germany strong can it resist the expansion of the Third World Alliance for the United States.

The attitude of the United States was soon accepted by Britain, and both the United States and Britain wanted to bring trouble to Germany against the Third World Alliance.

Hitler also showed some Sinophobia, but what is not well known was that China and Germany maintained frequent political contacts.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire was still secretly importing some military technology to Germany, and even gave the drawings of the Type 13 tank to the Germans.

Hitler's anti-Chinese sentiment was naturally faked, and in order to gain the support of the United States, Hitler would inevitably turn back to France in the future, and this was not allowed by the United States.

But Xia Jun also knows that China and Germany are very likely to fight in the future.

At this time, Hitler's anti-China sentiment may not become true.

But in order to provoke a war in the Caucasian world, Xia Jun still supports Germany at present.

…… In 1936, the Chinese Empire's economy recovered to 650 billion Asian dollars per year, 100 billion Asian dollars less than during the boom period, but it actually created more things.

By this year, the population of the Chinese Empire had begun to show a relatively even distribution, and the total number of coastal residents had begun to decline.

The infrastructure in the central, western, northern, southwestern, and northwestern regions has developed rapidly, with the central and southwestern regions developing the fastest.

For example, in 1936, Sichuan's economic development was no worse than that of the coastal provinces, but Sichuan was also a relatively early development province.

In this large-scale construction, the Chinese Empire invested 80% of its construction resources in economically backward areas, and thoroughly improved the infrastructure in the central and western regions.

With this infrastructure, economic development is simple.

In many cases, the economic development of the interior is just a lack of infrastructure, and the China of later generations is different from the China of this time.

Although China also built a lot of infrastructure in the inland areas in later generations, the Chinese economy at that time was heavily dependent on exports, and its own industry was actually not very developed.

At this time, the Chinese Empire relied almost no longer on exports, its own industry was completely self-sufficient, and factories moved quickly to the central and western regions.

The economic development advantage of the coastal area still exists, but not everyone is crowded to the coast.

Throughout the country, a large number of mining areas were built, a large number of roads were built, and a large number of airports were built, and at the same time, the Chinese Empire increased the import of its own scarce mineral resources, and a large number of military industrial production lines were also secretly established.

Whether it is a civilian project or a military project, they are all under large-scale construction, and the high efficiency of construction and the speed of organization are absolutely jaw-dropping.

The high-level member states of the entire Third World Alliance are building frantically, making full use of the labor force of each member state, and at the same time mobilizing labor from various countries to carry out cross-border construction.

Although a lot of things have been built, the people are not as good as before.

Many citizens found that the tax on the political axe was getting higher and higher, and the military support was increasing, and the army strength had expanded to 7.5 million in 1936.

The 7.5 million army was divided into two parts, one part the Wehrmacht and the other part the field army.

Among them, the strength of the field army reached 6.5 million, and it was divided into four major army groups. The North China Group Army Group, the West China Group Army Group, the South China Group Army Group, and the Central China Group Army Group were respectively year.

Each group army group has more than 1.6 million troops, 100 divisions each, and many reading brigades and reading regiments, and the group army group is divided into four group armies, each group army has 25 divisions, and each group army has three armies, each with 8~9 divisions.

The whole country is fighting hard to make all the people feel that war may be coming.

And the whole world, at this time, is also in the midst of an arms race.

To a large extent, the whole world was dragged into the arms race by the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire expanded its army to 7.5 million troops, which can be described as the world's pride, which SB dares to learn from the Chinese Empire?

The Chinese Empire has a population of more than 600 million, and the army of 7.5 million accounts for only a small part of the population, and if other countries also expand the army to 7.5 million, then the production of the whole country will inevitably be greatly affected.

At the same time, the strength of the entire Third World Alliance member states has reached 10 million, of which Russia has maintained 2 million.

And one of the characteristics of the Third World Alliance is that it is very centralized.

The high-ranking members of the entire Union are concentrated in Asia and Western Europe, and are connected by land except for the South Seas Republic and the Rashid Arab Republic, which are not connected but are close to each other. The Nanyang Republic is an archipelago, and the military power of the Chinese Empire in this place is relatively strong, and on the Rashid Arab side, the empire can attack the British colonies such as Afghanistan and Persia at any time to open up land connections.

As for the Western alliance led by the United States, first of all, there are many contradictions within the alliance. Moreover, the countries of this alliance are relatively scattered, and both the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union are under the siege of the Third World Alliance.

At this time, the Western World Union was also frantically carrying out armaments, among which the Soviet Union has been carrying out armaments, and the Soviet Union has become a country with all the soldiers after 17 years of development after the war due to the industrial and technological support of the United States.

It is said that there are anti-aircraft guns everywhere, and the air defense system has reached a very good state under the continuous strengthening.

Among them, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun that the Chinese Empire originally supported to Germany was obtained by the Allied countries after the war, and the gun was copied, which greatly strengthened the air defense capabilities of the member countries of the Western Alliance.

At the same time, he deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the territory of the country, and he knew that once the war broke out, he would be directly within the range of the air force of the Chinese Empire.

As for Britain and France, militarily they were relatively sluggish.

The United States still looks good militarily, but in reality the will of the army soldiers is rotten.

In Xia Jun's view, it is good for American GIs to fight a good war, but once they lose their military and technological superiority, American GIs will not be able to fight.

The most threatening thing is actually the US planes and warships, the US Army is not a threat in Xia Jun's eyes, and the British Army and the French Army are not very good.

As for the book, a small island country, what if there are anti-aircraft artillery? The Kunpeng-1 long-range bomber can fly to an altitude of 9,000 meters, and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is useless and cannot be hit at all.

The most threatening thing is actually the Soviet Union, after a long period of frantic armaments, coupled with the integration with the United States, the Soviet Union's inferiority in production technology and military technology has been compensated, and the only constraint may be in resources.

However, the strategic buffer of the Soviet Union was already very small at this time, so it could not turn it over.

Now it's up to Germany to make trouble.

The Chinese Empire has also begun to update its military equipment, and for more than a decade, the Chinese Empire has not updated its core military equipment on a large scale.

Whether it is a combat vehicle or a military aircraft, it retains the level of equipment from the First World War.

From 1919 to 1936, it was already seventeen years.

In the past 17 years, the Chinese Empire has developed many models of combat vehicles and military aircraft.

With the continuous progress of technology, especially the progress of material technology and engine technology, the surname of combat vehicles and military aircraft has been greatly improved.

In 1936, the Chinese Empire began to equip the army with a tank called the 'Type 07', which was a medium tank with a total weight of 40 tons.

The vehicle is equipped with an 85mm cannon that can penetrate the frontal armor of the Type 13 from a distance of 1,000 meters.

At the same time, the frontal, side, and rear armor reached a minimum of 60mm, of which the gun shield armor reached 95mm.

The power reached 10 kW / ton, which was much more than the tanks of the same period.

The largest weight of the chariots of this period was 28 tons, while the tonnage of the Type 07 chariot equipped by the Chinese Empire was 40 tons, and this was only a medium-sized chariot.

For such a large tonnage tank, the armor can actually be designed to be thicker, but the anti-tank weapons of this period simply cannot penetrate such a level of armor, and it is not necessary to be thicker, so the tonnage is mainly focused on speed and travel.

The Type 07 reached a speed of 65 km/h and 35 km/h off-road, making it a super-fast vehicle.

This is due to the engine supercharging technology, at the same time the 07 type tank is a high-efficiency diesel engine, the Chinese Empire after more than ten years of vigorous research and development, diesel engine manufacturing has made a huge breakthrough, so that the diesel engine efficiency has been improved to the extent that the gasoline engine has been on the chariot can not be compared with the diesel engine surname, and other countries at this time is still using the gasoline engine.

At the same time, in terms of travel, the maximum formation of the Type 07 tank is 500 km, and it can travel at least 300 km without breakdown.

This is a tank that surpasses many of its contemporaries.

After more than a decade of research and development and continuous improvements, a reliable vehicle has finally been launched, and many models have been developed, but this medium tank is the best, and in tests it is also best suited for fighting in muddy and cold environments.

Other models were thrown aside, and the Type 07 began to build production lines in earnest. The chariot production line is a more expensive thing, so the Chinese Empire has not determined the chariot model, because once it is determined, if the chariot model is cheated in actual combat, then the production line will be scrapped.

The Type 07 tank will be the main tank of the future empire in the war, and the heavy tank of the Chinese empire has also been determined.

It was a 53-ton vehicle, named the 'Overlord Chariot', which was more powerful than the Type 07 in terms of firepower and armor, but was inferior to the Type 07 in terms of speed and range. Speed is also a very lame place for heavy tanks, such as the German Tiger tank in World War II, and it has to be repaired after driving a section, and it is very troublesome to repair. However, the Overlord does not have this shortcoming, mainly because of the progress of the chassis and engine. The Overlord chariot uses a diesel engine with a rough working method, which is not as squeamish as the gasoline engine, and at the same time has an engine supercharging system, which greatly improves the problem of lame speed.

The Overlord tank was driven in the kind of climate and muddy state of the Soviet Union, and it was generally 300 kilometers for minor repairs and 800 kilometers for major repairs.

Compared with the German Tiger tank in World War II, the Overlord tank is more reliable than the pressure on logistics, although the tonnage is not as good as the Tiger tank, but the armor is special armor, but the thickness is indeed not as good as the Tiger tank, but the weight is greatly reduced, and the firepower is more powerful than the Tiger tank.

That is to say, in addition to being inferior to the Tiger tank in terms of armor, it is stronger than the Tiger tank in terms of firepower, speed and durability, but it is not much worse than the Tiger tank in terms of armor.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire also began to equip a 'Ranger Chariot', which is a light chariot weighing 25 tons, with a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour, an off-road speed of 40 kilometers, and a maximum range of 500 kilometers.

The production lines of the three vehicles have already begun to be built in large quantities, and the production capacity is constantly increasing. However, these vehicles are currently only a small-scale secret equipment army, and most of them are produced and piled up in warehouses.

Many car production lines have been converted into chariot production lines, and the pace of expansion of production capacity is very fast.

The Air Force has begun to equip military aircraft developed more than 10 years ago, and it has begun to reload on a large scale.

…… At this time, Xia Jun already had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Xia Pingqi is 24 years old, and the eldest daughter Xia Xiaoting is also 23 years old.

When Xia Pingqi was eighteen years old, he was arranged by Xia Jun to be an ordinary civil servant in the local area, and he had frequent contact with ordinary people, and when he was twenty years old, he was transferred to the army as a small soldier, all in a way that concealed his identity.

After entering the army, Xia Pingqi quickly relied on the solid foundation laid for him by his father and became a platoon commander, and now he has become a company commander.

Xia Pingqi's physical fitness is very good, thanks to his father supervising his exercise every day when he was a child, and at the same time, Xia Pingqi has followed his father to practice martial arts since he was a child, with a high level of force, and has the habit of meditation, although he is not very professional, but he has also improved the quality of insight and other aspects, and has a high level of education, so that the overall quality is very high, so he became a company commander.

In the Imperial Chinese Army during this period, it was possible for ordinary soldiers to become officers, but the surname may not be too big.

Xia Pingqi, both inside and outside, has been honed very tenaciously under Xia Jun's arrangement. At the same time, Xia Pingqi has a good education, this kind of education is not high-altitude education, but an education that is very close to the common people, so Xia Pingqi already has the qualifications to become an heir.

As for the eldest daughter Xia Xiaoting, Xia Jun is anxious about her marriage, she is 23 years old, and she has no favorite object, there are so many young talents in the empire, Xia Jun has chosen a lot, and none of them have a favorite.

And this girl's surname is tranquil, and she is more homely, and she likes to stay at home and walk her horse the most, and often does not go out for ten days and half a month.

In desperation, Xia Jun sent a photo of his children, which immediately caused a sensation. Xia Xiaoting inherited the genes of Xia Jun and her mother Tana, and she is very beautiful and moving. This kind of beauty is not the beauty of the road, but the beauty that people can't forget at a glance, belonging to the type of clear eyebrows, or divine beauty, with sharp edges and corners without losing the softness.

Physiognomy masters from all over the Chinese Empire asserted that the eldest princess was extremely beautiful, and she was the face of a good wife and mother.

In addition, the eldest princess is a royal family, has a good family education, and has a noble identity, and suddenly became the object of the young people of the empire, and fascinated a large number of people.

As for Xia Jun's youngest daughter, she was born to Li Shijing, named Xia Xiaoyan, who is fifteen years old this year. Although this little girl is only fifteen years old, she is no less beautiful than her eldest sister, and her surname is very innocent.

The other two sons, one was born to Xia Jun and Mei'er, and the other was born to Anastasia.

Mei'er and his son is named Xia Pingyu, who is 14 years old this year. And the son born to Anastasia is named 'Xia Pinghai', who is only five years old this year.

Five years ago, Xia Jun and Anastasia gave birth to this son, Nicholas II was a little unhappy, and the Russian crown prince was very weak at this time.

However, when Nicholas II heard that this grandson had many congenital genetic diseases, he was immediately relieved.

In fact, Xia Jun's youngest son has no problems at all. Because this little son was born using surrogacy, hemophilia is not inherited.

The birth of this son was prepared for the complete transformation of Russia into a puppet in the future.

As soon as Nicholas II died, and then cut off the crown prince's medical treatment, Xia Jun's youngest son was the most descendant heir to the Russian throne.

Although this son has Russian blood, his father's genes are Xia Jun's, and his biological mother is Chinese, plus Xia Jun is not cold to this son, so he will definitely not become a Russian emperor who thinks he is a Russian in the future.

Will be a Russian emperor who considers himself a Han Chinese.

As for the second son Xia Pingyu, Xia Jun is also very concerned about education, and also cultivates him as an heir, the only difference is the reserve heir.

As a father, Xia Jun still gives his fatherly love very evenly, but there is only one heir, and if nothing goes wrong, the primogeniture is still the first choice.

Xia Jun thought about it, when there are more children and grandchildren in the future, should he also hold an election for the national emperor?

The main thing the emperor had to do at that time was to observe public opinion and supervise the administrative cabinet and law enforcement, so that the imperial power could continue to check and balance the bureaucracy.

The electoral system also checks and balances the imperial power.

Because the future is a constitutional monarchy, it is also possible for the emperor to take turns. Same as president, but with a five-year term.

When the time comes, the royal children will learn from each other first, and then select a few of the best, and then conduct a public election.

It's just that Xia Jun is just thinking about this kind of idea at present, and then look at how to do it.
