589: It will appear in Europe in two years

The current history is no longer what it used to be, the history in Wang Sirui's heart, now at most can only be used as a reference, with the advantage of history, he has brought the Chinese Empire to its current status, and the next one needs to be controlled by himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Fortunately, the tempering in the past ten years has also given Wang Sirui a new look in his mentality, and he has long adapted to the role of this superior.

Wang Sirui did not want to follow the old path of the Japanese, nor did he want to follow the old path of the Americans, and he did not want to be as polarized as later generations in the post-war world, and finally entered the Cold War confrontation for nearly half a century.

If China chooses to enter the war at this time, then no matter which aspect it joins, when it comes after the war, it will inevitably form a polarized situation, and this opponent may be Germany, or the United States, as for the United Kingdom, Wang Sirui is directly abandoned, under Wang Sirui's deliberate manipulation, if the arrangement is reasonable, Britain is very likely to fall directly after this war.

Then China's future choice must be to replace Britain and become the new world hegemon.

Therefore, before becoming the new world hegemon, Wang Sirui did not plan to promote another world war, so the first war will be regarded by Wang Sirui as the key to solving the problem in the first war, and how to promote the first war to break out with greater potential and make the world more chaotic has become the top priority in Wang Sirui's heart.

Only by becoming more and more chaotic can China gain more benefits, and the only regret is that the time left for him to prepare is still too short, so that when the war breaks out, China is not completely ready.

Of course, compared to other countries, China was well prepared, at least before the outbreak of the world war, China already had two million veterans with combat experience, and these veterans are also the wealth of the Chinese empire, but also the wealth of their future rise.

As everyone knows, the recruits and instructors in the reserves in the recruit camps and reserves are all excellent soldiers or officers who have been transferred from the battlefield. In order not to leave regrets for those outstanding soldiers who were transferred back to the rear, the Imperial Military Department gave a time of one and a half years, at least one level of promotion, which can be regarded as stabilizing those outstanding soldiers who were transferred back.

And the most direct effect of this is that the recruits have surpassed the combat effectiveness of their predecessors when they left the camp at the same time, and they will grow up quickly after only a few battles.

This is the one that the Americans are doing, and the healing effect is needless to say, and the other is the one that Japan and Germany are doing, and the troops are indeed invincible in the early stage of the war, but as the war continues, the casualties of the troops increase, and there are fewer and fewer excellent soldiers, and the quality of the later soldiers cannot keep up, so in the end they can only fight more and more weakly.

"We will not break with Europe for the time being, but we must be ready to break with Europe. This war has developed into a world war, and there is not much time left for us. So, our next task is to hurry up and get ready for everything.

If there are not enough instructors, we will continue to draw from among the outstanding officers and men on the front line, and within one year, we will complete the goal of expanding the army by 5 million and within two years by 10 million.

At the same time, domestic industrial construction should also be accelerated, especially in the military industry, the scale of which should be expanded by at least five times within two years, focusing on the development of automatic rifles, machine guns, artillery, tanks, aircraft, navy, and other projects. Wang Sirui said with a firm expression.

At the meeting three days ago, Wang Sirui gave the final conclusion that the army should be expanded by 3 million troops within one year, 7 million troops within two years, and 12 million troops within three years. According to this plan, in three years, the Chinese Empire will be able to compete with any country in the world in terms of military strength and industry.

Even the United States is not their opponent for a while, as for whether Germany can carry it for so long, in Wang Sirui's opinion, it is not a problem at all, it is a big deal to keep giving the Germans some technology, so that they can maintain their advantage on the battlefield and help themselves delay time.

In this way, after 16 million troops are put into the battlefield, if nothing else, the battle will be completely ended within one to two years, and with the tug-of-war of the previous three years, the great powers are estimated to have almost consumed.

But the frequent overtures by the great powers, and the more and more attractive conditions offered, on the surface this is indeed a good thing, but in fact it is also a pressure on China, forcing them to make a decision as soon as possible, it is impossible for the great powers to maintain this attitude permanently, and by the time they develop China's real intentions, it is already too late.

Therefore, at this meeting, Wang Sirui changed the three-year plan three days ago to two years, although the time is tighter, but if you work harder, it will not be impossible to complete the task, of course, Wang Sirui is least worried about the problem of soldiers, because China has a population of 400 million, and it is still easy to expand the army by 10 million.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

In two years, perhaps this is their bottom line, and after two years, the Chinese Empire will inevitably fully participate in the world war.

Although they are now involved, this time it is only a grudge between them and Japan, and in the eyes of these people, it is only when Chinese troops appear in Europe that it means that China is actually entering the war.

Tang Shaoyi had already thought of how to delay time, and during this time, it would not arouse the disgust of the great powers, and even the great powers would be willing to come forward to help.

"How's that Navy's aircraft carrier progressing now?" Wang Sirui continued to ask, the last time he asked about aircraft carriers was a month ago, and the importance of aircraft carriers in future naval battles Wang Sirui has long known, which is also the reason why the empire did not have a large number of battleships.

If the empire wants to surpass the great powers in terms of navy, it can only take the road of aircraft carriers and submarines, and the road of battleships is obviously impassable.

"The aircraft carrier is in the process of final outfitting, and since we ordered the accelerated construction, the shipyard has prioritized the commissioning of the power system, and some work is being carried out at the same time as the sea trials. The first aircraft carrier is expected to be ready for service in two months. The second aircraft carrier is expected to be officially launched in two months and delivered in a year's time. The construction of the third aircraft carrier is scheduled to start in two months, and if the first two aircraft carriers go smoothly, the construction period of the third aircraft carrier may be shortened by about a month.

It is expected that the other two 10,000-ton docks will be completed in four months, and the Lushun shipyard will have the ability to build three aircraft carriers at the same time. Ye Zuqi has been paying attention to the dynamics of the navy all the time, and although he was not very optimistic about the aircraft carrier at the beginning, he has gradually changed his views now.

If the Chinese Navy can have four aircraft carriers, it can fully guarantee the absolute hegemony of the empire in the Asian region, which no country can challenge, not even the United Kingdom.

And what excites Ye Zuqi the most is that the empire's shipbuilding speed is even much faster than that of the old naval power Britain. Fast speed does not mean that the quality is poor, and the quality of the ships of the Chinese Navy is not bad at all.

The reason why the speed of construction is fast is because they have adopted a completely different construction method, segmented fixed station construction, a team is only responsible for the construction of an area, the first time may be a little unfamiliar, but after a few more times will be proficient, after mastery, the speed will naturally be very fast.

And dozens, hundreds of work groups formed a large work group, they worked together to build a certain section of the warship, and after the construction of this section is completed, there will be a professional assembly group to carry out welding operations, each person has only a little work in their hands, and after they are busy with this, they can go to work on other things.

The ship construction of other countries is basically a set of people from beginning to end, under the leadership of the engineer to do any work, the speed of nature can not be compared with this segmented construction, of course, this construction mode is actually the same as the assembly line model adopted by domestic factories, and the efficiency has been more than doubled than before.

So, although the construction of the first aircraft carrier has only been about a year away, this aircraft carrier will be delivered immediately, and it will be built faster than the British can build a battleship.

The tonnage of the first aircraft carrier reached 30,000 tons, this is because he took the hull of a dreadnought battleship and did not make much changes, but the later aircraft carriers were redesigned, and their tonnage was more than 40,000 tons.

As soon as he thought of the huge naval construction plan, Ye Zuqi's heart was a burst of blood that couldn't stop surging outward, if he wasn't the chief of the navy, he would even be willing to personally lead the fleet to fight at sea, and now, he could only envy Sa Zhenbing without limit. As the vice commander of the navy, Sa Zhenbing was able to lead the fleet to fight at sea.

"Continue to build a dock, and within half a year, the Lushun shipyard will have the ability to start construction of five aircraft carriers at the same time." Wang Sirui commanded.

Although he was in a hurry, he had no time, and he had to hurry up at this time to work hard, but fortunately, the previous preparations were not bad, and now there are a large number of engineers and engineering machines in Port Arthur, which can speed up the progress of construction to the greatest extent. Of course, Wang Sirui is very envious of the United States' ability to build a fleet in a year, and now China has it, although it may not be as good as the United States in some technical aspects, but now China can definitely be called a naval industrial power.

"Your Majesty, the Lushun Shipyard is no longer capable of continuing to expand, unless we go to increase the water depth, three 10,000-ton docks are already his limit." Ye Zuqi said depressedly.

The construction of a 10,000-ton dock is not a joke, a large amount of survey work is required before the start of construction, and the three docks are also the result of the survey by the troops, and the location is also surveyed.
