Chapter 145: The Helpless Entente

When he knew that the East China Autonomous Axe was going to build battleships on its own, his first reaction was to laugh out loud, and then talk about it as ironically as possible.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

A government that has only been creating a navy for three years has fantasized about building its own battleships, and it is undeniable that their shipbuilding capabilities have been expanded to an astonishing scale using all kinds of extreme means, but battleships and manufacturer ships are completely different.

There is a saying among the navies of the world: "Maybe the Chinese will build a bunch of target ships." ”

Except for the German political axe, no one believed that China could build battleships on its own. Although the German political axes did not doubt the determination and economic strength of the East China Autonomous Political Axe to build battleships, let alone the technical problems, they also felt that it was impossible for the East China Autonomous Political Axe to build battleships in a short period of time.

However, what the countries did not know was that after the East China Autonomous Political Axe determined the design drawings and manufacturing plan, the first batch of battleships were quickly manufactured, and they were manufactured quickly.

The East China Autonomous Axe changed the traditional shipbuilding model to have parts manufactured in inland factories and then transported to the dockyard for assembly.

This approach has revolutionized the shipbuilding industry, allowing the shipbuilding industry in the coastal provinces of East China to build ships as quickly as possible.

The number of factories like this that specialize in the manufacture of parts for shipbuilding has been increasing, as the current supply of ship parts is in short supply and the profits are huge.

Shipyards will place a lot of orders with these factories, as long as you have factories and workers, you can start production as soon as you build them, and you definitely don't have to worry about profits.

Many parts of the warships were also produced in inland factories, and after they were manufactured, they were shipped to shipyards for assembly.

The ships in the naval plan were built in three batches, the first to be built were battleships and battle cruisers.

Soon entered January 1915, Xia Jun's January point income was still between 1 billion and 1.1 billion, and as soon as he got the points, Xia Jun invested his points in warship manufacturing technology and agricultural crop cultivation, which cost 600 million yuan per month.

However, Xia Jun still has more than 400 million points in his hand, which can be exchanged for a large number of equipment, but Xia Jun no longer exchanges equipment at present.

Because industry has begun to transform into heavy industry, heavy industry equipment is very expensive, and even if it is large, it is impossible to start work without skilled workers.

Technical schools can be said to have opened one after another, and a large number of primary school students have directly entered technical schools after graduation, and these primary school students are generally at the age of fifteen or sixteen, belonging to the group of people who receive education very late, and those who are younger will be promoted to junior high school.

It still takes a certain amount of time for technician training, so it is not possible to start work with equipment, and Xia Jun began to invest his points in manufacturing technology.

The most used in production is equipment, vehicles, the scale of machinery manufacturing has been relatively large at this time, but because of the lack of historical accumulation, so although the scale is large, but the market demand is too much, the orders are still full.

In addition, Xia Jun had to leave some points for trade with Germany.

In 1915, Germany moved its main forces to the Eastern Front, while the Western Front went on the defensive, and the Allies would launch an offensive on the Western Front in order to make the war clear as soon as possible.

Xia Jun once again increased the delivery of raw materials to Germany, and a large number of munitions and raw materials were frantically transported to Germany by submarines.

At the beginning of January, the number of transport submarines bound for Germany increased to fifty, and this was only for the first half of the month, and for the second half of the month there were fifty more.

At the beginning of the month, eighty merchant ships were dispatched from China to the Entente, and eighty merchant ships were sailed to England and France under the protection of six destroyers.

These destroyers are equipped with sonar to detect underwater submarines, and also have radio warning capabilities, which will warn German submarines during the voyage that "any underwater ship must not come close to within three kilometers, otherwise it will be considered an attacking ......"

At this time, the East China Autonomous Government no longer sailed merchant ships to the Entente countries alone, but sailed to the Entente countries in groups, protected by warships.

The flotilla was hung with the five-color revival flag of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and the navy's moon flag was hung on the warships, and the German submarines could see from a distance that this was China's fleet.

The German Navy's order for these submarines was that it was strictly forbidden to attack Chinese merchant ships.

Germany is clearly unwilling to offend China at the moment, and in their view, the entry of the United States into the war may be a great risk, but the risk is definitely not as dangerous as China's entry into the war.

At present, only China can supply Germany with large-scale raw materials, and it is a continuous supply of raw materials, and China is in many ways willing to sell Germany relatively cheap things, as well as advanced weapons.

In general, when selling advanced weapons to the outside world, the East China Autonomous Government always considers Germany first. If the East China Autonomous Axe was offended, Germany would not only cut off the supply of these raw materials, but the Entente would be able to get more supplies.

The United States, on the other hand, only sold supplies to the Entente countries, and even if they entered the war, it was only in terms of military strength into Europe.

However, Germany is not a fool, and it can naturally be seen that the East China Autonomous Axe is using the war to make a lot of war money, but Germany does not have any good options at present.

This world war was not instigated by the autonomous political axe of East China, but by the impulsive belligerence of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the dominantly Jewishness of Freemasonry.

The Jews made a fortune from the war, whether they were American Jews or German Jews.

The outbreak of World War II was also reflected in the Jews, who sent a lot of new technology to Germany to start World War II.

It's a pity that the Jews' performance in World War I made the German side regard them as traitors, and the legend of stabbing them in the back is widely spread. German General Hindenburg, who was currently commanding the war on the Eastern Front, instilled in Hitler the reasons for his defeat in World War I, pointing the finger at the Jews.

The murder of Jews by Germany in World War II has a historical grudge.

At this time, the Jews were making a lot of money in the war, and in Germany, the Jews controlled much of the wealth and factories, and the same was true in the United States, England, and France.

The arrival of war meant that the feast of the Jews was about to begin. The Freemasonry founded by these Jews secretly indulged the political axes of many Western countries.

lobbying, bribery, assassination, threats, inciting strikes, secret associations...... The Jews are like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, and no Western country is immune from their infiltration, and the only countries they cannot control are China and Syria in Asia, which the Freemasonry cannot control.

Freemasonry has developed in Hong Kong, and at this time the government has not banned Freemasonry activities, but according to the development of history, this is also fast.

In China, the most well-developed area of Freemasonry is Hong Kong, which is trying to infiltrate the autonomous political axe of East China at this time, but unfortunately it has aroused Xia Jun's vigilance.

At the beginning of the year, Xia Jun directly issued a ban on Freemasonry activities in China, and participation in Freemasonry would be regarded as treason, which dealt a huge blow to Freemasonry activities in China.

The East China Autonomous Axe was far more important to the minds of intellectuals than Freemasonry, so most of those intellectuals stopped coming into contact with Freemasonry after the ban was issued, and many Freemasons quit Freemasonry.

After the East China Autonomous Axe banned Freemasonic activities, it also issued a ban, and the Masonic Axe was also aware of the infiltration of Freemasonry at this time.

This kind of infiltration is very dangerous for a country.

Fortunately, cultural differences have built a line of defense against Freemasonry, but if they are allowed to develop, they will inevitably cause big problems.

Xia Jun can be said to talk about Freemasonry, the toss of this organization directly dominates the trend of modern history, Britain lost the name of the world's first power without them, Germany was tossed twice by them, and the United States, which they controlled, became the world's first power.

At this time, a lot of Germany's wealth was in the hands of the Jews, and the control measures taken by Germany were quite good for the time being, after all, Germany's financial resources were still abundant, but as long as it took a long time, it would inevitably harm the interests of the Jews, and the Jews would instigate a large-scale strike in Germany.

The East China Autonomous Government was constantly transporting raw materials and munitions to Germany, although it was also making a lot of war money, but compared to the Jews, it was only a drop in the bucket.

If the Germans were the spokesmen of the Junker aristocracy, they were definitely not the mouthpieces of the Jews, and the actions of the Jews were doomed to make them scapegoats for Germany's defeat.

Xia Jun, on the other hand, avoided becoming the original sin of the Germans attributing the cause of defeat as much as possible, so he strictly maintained neutrality.

…… The policy of neutrality of the East China Autonomous Axe was soon condemned by the Entente powers. Recently, the Entente finally detected the information that the East China Autonomous Government was transporting materials and raw materials to Germany on a large scale by submarine, which made the Entente very unhappy.

Britain and France jointly sent a note asking the East China Autonomous Government to stop such behavior.

The East China Autonomous Axe issued a statement saying: "China is a neutral country, we maintain absolute neutrality, please do not attribute any war problems to our East China Autonomous Axe, otherwise we will take necessary measures." ”

The hard-line attitude of the autonomous political axe in East China made the Entente countries suffer. At this time, it is not easy for them to press, if they force the axe of East China's autonomy to Germany, then it will be a big trouble, at least before the original has not yet gained a firm foothold in Shandong, it is not appropriate to do so.

At this time, Xia Jun could be described as unscrupulous, not only did not reduce the delivery of arms and materials to Germany, but also increased the volume of transportation, and the Entente could only do nothing about it.

In this regard, the Entente could only increase orders for the East China Autonomous Axe, in order to buy the arms sold to Germany by the East China Autonomous Axe.

The fact that the East China Autonomous Government was able to sell arms to Germany shows that the order was not enough.

This is also the Entente's helplessness against the East China Autonomous Political Axe, the Entente really did not dare to make any radical moves against the East China Autonomous Political Axe at this time, and now they are waiting for the Entente to show his skills on the battlefield in Shandong, so that the young man will be sober.
