In Nairobi in August, the autumn is crisp and the wind is beautiful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lake Naivasha, which attracted the world's attention because of the "Crescent Island Conference", gradually returned to its original tranquility and tranquility as the meeting ended.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Crescent Building, which was full of the fragrance of logs, Cheng Gong, who was dressed like a good man at home, his eyes were lightly closed, and the old god was on the ground in the central main seat, quietly listening to Chen Xunen, Dai Yunong, Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Houfu, Sun Zuomin, Canaris, Gao Zhihang, Shen Shuyi, Gu Weijun and other military and political dignitaries of the Donghua Empire who were sitting in two rows of seats under the hall to make routine reports one by one.

“…… The rapid development of the empire's wartime economy and its sustained dominance were mainly due to the intervention of the royal family in the empire's economy. Cabinet Premier Chen Xunen said with a solemn and serious expression:

"The intervention of the imperial family in the economy was not in the form of industrial nationalization, but in the use of fiscal and financial means to intervene in the reproduction of capital. Its main characteristics were the constant reliance on increasing fiscal expenditures in the imperial state budget, on military orders and on preferential tax rates for monopolies and even small and medium-sized private enterprises to stimulate production and increase investment in fixed capital in society.

Although the empire did not nationalize industry during the war, and the empire's economic system still maintained a relatively typical capitalist private ownership, the imperial government made large investments in many new industrial sectors, major scientific research projects, and modern public facilities. For example, the empire invested a total of 15.6 billion Asian dollars in the information industry from 1938 to June 1942, and invested more than 5 billion Asian dollars in the aviation industry every year from 1938.

The Cabinet actively responded to the call of the Holy Father that 'science and technology are the primary productive forces', and all policies formulated and implemented were in line with the needs of the wartime scientific and technological revolution. The flourishing of science and technology had a direct effect on the economic prosperity of the empire.

However, the risk of investment in the scientific and technological sector was high, so the Imperial Government took the initiative to take on the task of investing in these sectors. In order to maintain a high level of export to the outside world, the empire on the one hand exports through purchases from aided countries under the 'foreign aid' program, and on the other hand subsidized the export of certain imperial products.

The share of exports provided under the 'foreign aid' project was 46 per cent of the Reich's exports in 1940, 30 per cent in 1941 and 25 per cent this year. In addition, the imperial government further promoted the development of the productive forces while easing the class contradictions in the country by establishing scientific research and education outlets throughout the country and implementing social security policies.

At present, the industrial production of the empire is increasing at an annual rate of 20%. By the end of June this year, the empire owned 25% of the world's coal production, 35% of crude oil production, 25% of steel production, and 50% of automobile production. Agricultural products have tripled since 1938, and one farmer can feed 48.2 people.

The development of ten world-class oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Nigeria established the layout and development of the empire's new industries in Africa, such as the petroleum industry and petrochemical industry. However, European countries, led by Britain and Germany, are eyeing the Middle East oil fields and Libyan oil fields, and the cabinet analyzes that oil is likely to trigger a war between European countries and the African Union. ”

Hearing the prime minister mention the new oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Nigeria, Cheng Gong slowly opened his eyelids.

Africa has more than 15.6 billion tons of oil reserves. It is mainly distributed in North Africa and the Gulf of Guinea region of Western Asia, and was later known as the second Persian Gulf.

In the past few years, Cheng Gong has established the strategic principle of Africa's economic development after repeated thinking in order to enable nearly 200 million African people to quickly shake off the status quo of poverty and backwardness, develop the petroleum industry and petrochemical industry, and use this to promote the light industry and daily chemical industry.

Emperor Cheng, who has the most powerful armed forces in the world, does not have to worry about the discovery and exploitation of Africa's oil resources, which will attract the ingenious seizure of European and American capitalist robbers.

On the contrary, Cheng Gong's aim was to use Africa's oil resources to trigger an oil war between the AU and Europe, and to use this as an opportunity to further establish the AU's dependence on the Donghua Empire.

Massive oil resources, accounting for two-thirds of the world's gold reserves, are enough to ensure that the Asian dollar replaces the British pound and the US dollar as the world's first international currency settlement unit.

Modern warfare is actually about money!

The Donghua Empire has the world's first military science and technology and civilian technology, and has the world's first national wealth, and now intends to take the African Union, the little brother, to develop and build Greater Africa, whether it is the Allies or the Axis powers, they dare not get involved in the ten world-class oil countries discovered by the Donghua Empire in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Nigeria.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the high output of not less than 1 million barrels of crude oil per day in these ten large oil fields that the construction of infrastructure and primary industrialization under the AU never has to worry about funds.

With the East China Empire's steady oil exports, Germany now has no need to worry about oil resources at all.

"Germans, you don't have to worry." Cheng Gong said slowly with an indifferent expression: "This time I have reached a consensus with the German Führer Hitler that we will join forces with the German Navy to form the East German Combined Fleet to completely annihilate the living forces of the British Navy at one time!" ”

"Joining forces with the Germans? Your Majesty, have you decided to join the Axis powers? Jiang Fangzhen asked in a lost voice with obvious surprise.

"Who said that if you join forces with Germany, you have to join the Axis camp?" Cheng Gong smiled and asked without answering: "Then our Great Donghua Empire declared war on Italy before, doesn't it mean that we are already a member of the Allied camp?" ”

"What the emperor means, you hit yours, I beat mine. Win in chaos and fish in troubled waters? Chen Xunen said thoughtfully.

"The ultimate purpose of war is to serve politics and the economy." Cheng Gong nodded slowly and replied: "The rules of this world have always been dominated by the British, and if our Great Donghua Empire wants to become the maker of the new rules, we must step on the bones of the British.

From the day I decided to bring Australia and New Zealand into my territory, our Great Donghua Empire and Britain were in irreconcilable hostile conflict. If it weren't for the outbreak of World War II, perhaps we would still be fighting the British and the Commonwealth countries right now.

Don't look at the fact that Britain is now being pressed and beaten by Germany, as the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. With the historical precipitation and accumulation of Britain since the Industrial Revolution in the past century, they only need to be given the slightest opportunity to regain their strength.

Therefore, in order to settle the hatred between the Empire and Britain once and for all, only one side will bring the other side down completely! Although the Imperial Royal Navy has the most powerful fleet in the world, the Centennial Navy is not just a battleship that can forge its military spirit.

There is only one way for the Royal Navy to become a truly world-class navy, and to fight the most powerful navy in the world today! In order to ensure the victory of this naval battle, I thought about it and decided to join the German Navy to give the Imperial Royal Navy an insurance. ”

"No wonder German Admiral Raeder and his entourage will organize a delegation to visit the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet!" Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Chen Houfu, suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, it is exciting to think about joining forces with the German Navy to fight a decisive battle with the British Royal Navy!" ”

"Hehe, Houfu, don't take it lightly." Cheng Gong smiled and nodded and said, "This time with the German Navy, I only plan to use the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet and Pacific Fleet need to be used to guard against little devils." The Native Fleet was to provide a maritime shield for the Empire's Continental Maritime Frontier. However, I allow you to draw the best forces from all the officers and men of the Royal Navy. Do you have faith? ”

"Resolutely complete the task!" Chen Houfu stood up and saluted with his head held high, looking confident. (To be continued.) )
