In the past 1,000 years, or even longer, China has been leading the world, even if the Qing Dynasty was bombed open by the British, and the land was ceded and reparated, in terms of economic aggregate, it is still in the first position in the world, that is, Britain gradually implemented industrialization, completed the first and second industrial revolutions, and surpassed China.

Now, China's development has one more variable, Yang Yuanzhao's crossing and the emergence of the all-in-one machine, so that China's development, there has been a historical inflection point, more outstanding industry, in the world cast made in China, and the development of machine tools, petrochemicals, electrification industry, is to give China a strong driving force.

China's huge population advantage and the nature of the labor force are the basis for such rapid development, just as the United States has surpassed Germany, China's foundation is even larger than that of the United States, and it is effortless to surpass the United States, and even after surpassing it, it still maintains a high degree of growth, and if it were not for the United States to control the orders of the Entente countries, it would have surpassed the United States many times.

In 1916, China entered the war under the pressure of the United States, but even if it was not forced by the United States this time, China's expansion in the surrounding area had reached a bottleneck, and unless it continued in the direction of Russia, it could only go to Australia and the Pacific Ocean.

The Russian direction is a good place, but for China, it is not too far from being in contact with Germany, and even in a sense, China is willing to use Russia as a separation zone between China and Germany, which is the safest and most suitable mode of cooperation.

When the war does not break out, China will consider it more conservatively, as far as possible without the other party knowing, to obtain benefits, but the war has already broken out, so there is no need to think so much, under the triumphant advance, strive to obtain enough benefits in a short period of time, Australia is like this, the same is true of the Pacific Ocean, even in later generations, only the formation of the offshore continental shelf as a national territory, but not the formation of a maritime territory, but the Pacific region, has long been China's established sphere of influence.

At present, China's front is a bit huge, including Britain and the United States, the Entente, all want to see, the huge front, completely drag China down, but they don't know, it seems that the huge front, for China, is not huge, the north has beaten Russia like a dog, as long as China does not cross the Ural Mountains, Russia will be Amitabha, how dare to provoke China, the deployment of troops is more for vigilance, not war, the possibility of war is very small, of course, if there is a chance, China is also ready to take a bite on Russia at any time, Siberia has been taken, the whole of Central Asia has opened its arms, Yang Yuanzhao has never intended to enter Central Asia, compared with other lands, Central Asia has a harsh environment, the land is relatively barren, and there are many ********, not to mention that before World War II, Britain and Russia suffered a big loss here, just say that after World War II, the two superpowers the United States and the Soviet Union, China will not easily set foot in it, it is a big quagmire.

China and Siberia, hold on to the current border line, which is not difficult for China to popularize the railway network in China, the border stationing, there will not be much problem, the Middle East, is still vigilant, did not start the war, in the future, will cross the Suez Canal, but not now, can not be too provocative Britain, China has just entered the war, if it can make the war last for a year, two years, or even three years, for China, is the most correct choice, China in Asia, There are almost no opponents, and the only one in Japan, is still disabled, and it is **** wounds at this time.

In the original history, Japan is relying on the European war and trade with Europe, from the debtor country to the creditor country, this historical era, everything is impossible, Malacca occupies the hands of China, from Malacca to Europe, almost through China's most core direct control area, their only way, can only take the Pacific to the United States route, not only the volume of transportation is limited, the cost increases, now, this line has the possibility of being broken, China is already preparing for the Pacific War, when the time comes, All but the North Pacific route from Japan to the U.S. will be cut off. Even if Japan wants to jump, it can't jump, and the whole of Asia, which is China's world, is now proceeding step by step.

Manila, the former capital of the Philippines, was once a Spanish colony, which was seized by the United States in the Spanish-American War, and as the United States in Asia, even in the largest colony in the world, such a place has not been managed by the United States, at most it has expanded Manila, and the whole Philippines is still backward and barren.

It was only when China occupied the Philippines that the Philippines underwent earth-shaking changes, with new cities beginning to expand and take shape, and almost every important location in the Philippines, this huge island country, was revitalized

But this vitality is only related to the Chinese, and has nothing to do with the original Filipinos, because the number of natives on the entire Philippine island does not exceed 300,000, and they are still fixed in several fixed settlements, and they cannot move freely without permission.

Now, the Philippines has 20 million people, of which about 8 percent, are immigrants from the country, the whole Southeast Asia, to undertake nearly 100 million immigrants, these are either products and regions, or too densely populated areas, for example, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, these places are less people, after several migrations, reached a relatively good degree, most of the population is concentrated in the city, enjoy a more comfortable environment, a small part in the countryside, mechanized farming, Provide China with a steady stream of food, if you are rich, you will immigrate to Southeast Asia, compared with the country, the conditions in Southeast Asia are more relaxed, and the policies in all aspects are suitable for the economic conditions of Southeast Asia, and for some people who dare to break through, want to change their destiny, there is no small attraction.

The whole of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, the mainstream voice is development, in 1916, the development of the Philippines has changed slightly, including Manila, which has been expanded to a considerable extent, has been further expanded, and on the side close to the Pacific Ocean, several military ports have been rebuilt, although only a few months, these ports have been formed, China spared no effort to invest, in the construction, the consideration is not the economic cost, but the cost of time, under the crazy investment, These ports were built beyond the stipulated time.

The United States believes that China is not preparing for the Pacific War, but in fact, China is preparing with both hands, handing over Zhang Xiaohuai to such a steady attack on Australia, but handing over the attack on the Pacific to the Southeast Asian Military Region, and the headquarters only providing naval support, and these ports that began to be built in 1916 are for the stationing of these warships.

Beginning in May 1916, a huge number of warships began to be stationed in the Manila military port, including the largest battleship in the total, Manila is a big city, only battleships and conventional ships were stationed, and warships that may not have been common in the past have now become the norm, which greatly boosted morale.

The military port in Manila was originally expanded on the basis of the US military port, and its capacity has been increased to four times the original capacity, which is enough to accommodate the Southern Fleet and the Northern Fleet.

China began the study of aircraft carriers as early as a few years ago, and around 1912, before the outbreak of war, completed the first aircraft carrier, because it is a new thing, this aircraft carrier has a displacement of only 18,000 tons, and two ships were started at the same time, such tonnage, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier is only 45, much higher than the escort aircraft carrier, but it is not as good as the real main aircraft carrier.

The appearance of this aircraft carrier is basically for verification, to verify the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, to experiment with the data of some aircraft carriers, to accumulate experience for the next construction, no matter how much laboratory research and drawings are made, it is not as good as actually building one, this time the aircraft carrier of two ships is more to become a training ship and a test ship, in about three years, more than 400 experiments and training work have been completed, and a large number of ships and researchers have been successfully trained for China.

It is these breakthroughs, coupled with the laboratory, a large number of technical indicators have been verified and improved, China's Zhenghang aircraft carrier, in September 1914 officially laid the keel, because of the previous experience, this time the aircraft carrier, a one-time start of 6 ships, The displacement is 27,500 tons, such a big guy, although the tonnage is not as good as the fantasy class, but there are many systems, the requirements are huge, starting from September 1914, it was only completely completed in October 1915, the total construction period exceeded 13 months, which is the longest construction period among all capital ships.

Although the construction period is long, but this warship meets the requirements of the Navy, 27,500 tons of displacement, full load of more than 30,000 tons, the speed can reach up to 32 knots, the number of aircraft accommodated, also increased from 45 in the first generation of aircraft carriers, increased to 82, it seems, the capacity of this aircraft carrier, is still not as good as World War II, more than 100 aircraft in World War II, also abound, but Chinese aircraft, not those small aircraft, all are the second generation, even the third generation of all-metal fighters, these fighters are large in total and large in volume, That is, China has developed a folding wing that can accommodate so much, if it is still the original kind, I am afraid that it will be less than one-third, but in a sense, the strength of China's 82 carrier-based aircraft is far above the world, and even the carrier-based aircraft during World War II.

Although China began to develop aircraft, only a few years, relying on Yang Yuanzhao's strong engine strength, coupled with the all-in-one machine to give the best materials, as well as Yang Yuanzhao's mention of the future, whether it is fighters, bombers, torpedo planes and many other types, have made great progress, in a sense, China now has the equivalent of the late World War II aircraft carrier strength, this aircraft carrier, is the last barrier of the Chinese Navy.
