Chapter 1665: Japanese Speed
Now Alaska is winter, even if China wants to attack the United States, it is not the time, even the temperate winter is not a suitable season for combat, let alone high-latitude Alaska, the closer to the land, the cold of winter, will make any outdoor sports become short-term and temporary, really long-term outdoor action, with the means of keeping out the cold in this era, it will inevitably cause a large number of non-combat attrition, frostbite and diseases caused by the cold, very dangerous, in the future 21st century is a very difficultAt the beginning of the 20th century, when medical care and medicine were not enough, no one would go to war in the winter, which represented a lot of non-combat attrition and demoralization, and no one could carry out this order unless there was a necessary battle.

China and the United States in the Pacific Ocean are almost bound to go to war, and the possibility that the United States is frantically manufacturing warships and sending them to Europe is not very likely, and if it does not take advantage of this time, when the United States is still in a weak state, to deal a heavy blow to the United States, when the United States takes a breather, it will be a war of attrition that is evenly matched, although China is not afraid, there is no need for this.
China and Japan both know that after landing in Alaska, this winter is the most critical, this winter's defense is done, and Alaska will be built to a certain extent, which is the most critical place to finally obtain Alaska.
Looking back at Alaska, since Japan based on the development of Alaska, Alaska's changes are changing with each passing day, cities began to appear in large numbers, villages, towns, counties and townships, administrative divisions at all levels began to be smoothed out, with the support of strict orders, the Japanese were divided down, and strictly controlled to every labor force.
It is this kind of strict management and strong cohesion, to a certain extent, to see the northwest speed in the Japanese show, in fact, the Japanese encountered a very good timing, since the Meiji Restoration, and even after the Japanese were opened to the state of seclusion, the Western colonizers for Japan are far less vigilant than China, China is vast, has a large population, and has all the conditions for the rise of the country, as long as it takes the right path a little, basically completes industrialization, it is another United States. On the contrary, Japan is much worse, the congenital deficiencies, no matter how to make up for the acquired ones, he cannot become a real power, and can only rely on the existence of others.
The strong has the advantages of being strong, and the weak has the advantages of being weak, Japan is like this, at the beginning it was a small country, relatively poor, with fewer markets and resources, and there was no place that the great powers fancied, the world was so big, and there was not much Japan this one, and then Japan got more time and opportunities than China, and Japan seized it, the Meiji Restoration, plus later, Britain needed to have a chess piece in the Far East, and China, which was inherently better, of course could not enter the sight of the British, Developing China is tantamount to causing Britain to lose all its interests in China, and even to lose such a huge market, so Japan, which is congenitally deficient and is also an island country, has become his natural partner.
Japan was really powerful, first defeating China in the First Sino-Japanese War, and then defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, and really had the ability to be a chess piece. Even in this time and space, if there is no Yang Yuanzhao's appearance, history will still develop.
But China has changed a lot, under Yang Yuanzhao's golden finger, it has rapidly changed, and it has quietly become a world power, but Japan has suffered a big loss, but then Japan quickly changed, put aside the Entente, joined the arms of China, and soon waved the flag for China.
I have to say that the Japanese gamble very big, from the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, every war about the national fortunes, Japan has tried its best, all its chips have been pressed, winning are all happy, losing is completely lost, Alaska is the same, Japan found out that Alaska has all the conditions for the rise of Japan, almost without hesitation to move more than half of the population over, not at all worried, their population, thousands of kilometers away in a foreign land, will there be accidents, Japan's domestic development has reached a bottleneck, and it has missed the rare development opportunity of World War I, and is eager to earn benefits in China, but it has been beaten by a rising China.
The Japanese know very well that as long as China is strong, Japan can only be attached, and the limitations of the island countries allow them to develop only to plunder, but the entire continent, even Southeast Asia, has been included in China's system, and if the Japanese want to develop, they can only be in Central Asia, or South Asia, at that time Japan was also ready to do this, but China gave a new goal, Alaska, not only has a huge land, but also has a variety of resources, coal, iron, oil, and even precious metals such as gold and silver, There is almost everything, as long as Japan manages Alaska well, Japan has a strong foundation, not to mention Canada, which is nearly 6 times the size of Alaska, and the resources are even richer.
The great temptation, the possibility of jumping out of the confines of China, was an important condition for Japan to make up its mind, and with the support of a large population and driven by China's advanced resources, the Northwest speed was playing out in Alaska, and even to a certain extent, Alaska was faster than the Northwest speed.
The reason is very simple, when Yang Yuanzhao just crossed, the power in his hands was only the all-in-one machine and the insight of the traverser, the power of the combination of the two is said to be very big, and the small is also very small, if Yang Yuanzhao crossed the time, 40 years earlier, before 1868, the ruling class in the whole China has not really opened its eyes to begin to pick up, although the Westernization Movement has been produced, but has not cultivated a large number of industrial workers, he can only become a rich man at most, maybe 10 years, or even 20 years to accumulate strengthand then be able to sweep China.
But in 1908, although the Westernization Movement failed, it left a foundation, millions, even millions of workers, is this foundation, this is Yang Yuanzhao and the all-in-one machine can not be cultivated no matter how against the sky, the all-in-one machine and Yang Yuanzhao are like gold hands, itself is not very important, and even in the eyes of the rich is just the existence of stinky old nine and ordinary workers, but it has become the cornerstone of the Northwest take-off.
Japan's environment is much better than that of Yang Yuanzhao in 1908, China has developed thoroughly after eight years of development, and its GDP is eight or nine times that of the United States, even if the current focus is not on Alaska, the support for Japan is far stronger than when the Northwest was just rising, and the tenacity and obedience of the Japanese have also made them cooperate very well.
A factory in Alaska to set up, from Japan to Alaska, to now, less than 128 days, Japan in Alaska has built a total of 7,380 factories, including 195 cement plants, more than 10 million tons of giant cement plants have as many as 7, the more than 100 cement plants, the total output of up to 170 million tons, this is a huge number, cement from the moment of appearance, is an important information of the building, is an important basis for the expansion of buildings, development.
In Alaska, cement also has a special use, in the first line of Juneau, under the precautions, will build a large-scale fortifications, can not be described by a permanent national defense system, can also be described by the line of life and death, if this line of defense is held, Japan can gain a foothold in Alaska, no matter how the future development, there is no problem, with the help of Alaska's area and resources, as well as China's technology and support, Japan's development will be winged, completely make up for the congenital deficiency of weakness, There is absolutely no limit to what the future holds.
Alaska, which was originally an enclave of the United States, was separated from the mainland by Canada, and the huge and fragile Canada would become a buffer between Japan and the United States.
Even now, the closer you get to the United States and the more hostile you are to the United States, the more you feel the difference between the United States, the industry is strong and full of potential, but only by fighting against such an opponent can you demonstrate the Japanese spirit of bushido, whether the United States will win by industry, or whether Japan's will will win, this is the future of the highlight.
It is with this mentality that nearly 40 million Japanese have worked hard in Alaska, and China has also given great support to the rising sentiment of the Japanese, and the technology of infrastructure construction, even some large-scale construction machinery, and even sent experienced construction personnel to guide, and the whole of Alaska has undergone earth-shaking changes with the efforts of tens of millions of Japanese, from an area covered by ice and snow, gradually moving towards modernization.
One city after another, one by one factories, on the ice field of Alaska, a large number of Japanese regardless of the cold, regardless of the hardship, but in the winter of 1916, because of the cold and work fatigue, the dead Japanese accounted for the current Alaska total population of five ten-thousandths, this is not a small number, almost 20,000 people, it is the efforts of these 20,000 people, so that Japan has a foundation in the Americas.
