Cal. Marx is coming

He will dominate the seas, and he will plant the red flag all over the world

These two seemingly inexplicable words were the headlines of the front page of the New York Times on January 5, 1928. Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve is all about attracting attention, and the New York Times has used six columns in italics to publish these two sentences for an unprecedented time.

The New York Times refers to Carl. Marx, of course, is the one who uses the latest German technology and will be built in a Sino-German joint venture shipyard in China. Marx-class battleships. On January 3, 1928, the governments of China and the Soviet Union, as well as the German shipyard in Germania, simultaneously released this news that shocked the world. In addition, Carl. The technical data and exterior drawings of the Marx-class battleships were also published by the Germania shipyard and the Krupp company at the time.

“…… There is no doubt that Carl. The Marx-class battleship is currently the most Chinese New Year's Eve and the newest battleship in the world, and of course, its performance is also the best. According to the technical data published by Krupp and the Germania shipyard, Karl. The defense of the Marx-class battleships will span all the current battleships in the world. And its maximum speed is as high as 27 knots, which is also across all existing battleships in the world, and the only thing that may be lacking is that its nine triple 380 mm 52 caliber naval guns are slightly less powerful and may not be able to penetrate the armor of the 'World Seven Chinese New Year's Eve battleships'. However, all the battleships except these seven super-battleships, if they were to fight with Karl in a future naval battle. If a Marx encounters, the only fate is to sink" -- The New York Times

The New York Times report was a bit of a report to Carl. The Marx-class battleships advertised, while the British's Times seemed to be a little crying. The English gentleman used a Chinese New Year's Eve and bolder inscription that read: "Chinese New Year's Eve British Empire's maritime superiority is in jeopardy, and the rising Red Empire is about to take its place."

The Times commentator wrote in a somewhat poignant tone: "A new round of naval arms race has become more and more likely to take place. The presentation of the Marx-class battleships inevitably came to us on Chinese New Year's Eve, does the British Empire still have enough wealth to connect with the superiority of our glorious navy? The Soviet Empire, which was angry on Chinese New Year's Eve, spent $75 million to buy these two strong Chinese New Year's Eve battleships. In addition, according to well-informed sources, after obtaining all the drawings and technical data of the battleships, the Soviet Union will build several more Marx-class ships at the Baltic Shipyards, and finally the number of Soviet super-battleships is likely to exceed ten Chinese New Year's Eve it seems that the British Empire will have to choose between financial bankruptcy and the permanent loss of the sea......

Compared with the reaction of the newspapers of the two naval Chinese New Year's Eve countries of Britain and the United States, the French are much more elegant and calm. France's Le Figaro newspaper simply wrote lightly: "Foreign Minister Aristide . . . Mr. Briand hinted that the Soviet Union, as a Chinese New Year's Eve country with heavy Chinese New Year's Eve influence, has the right to have a certain number of navies. Moreover, the Soviet Union's possession of battleships did not threaten the peace of France, and the most Chinese New Year's Eve guarantee of France's peace was the world's largest army, not navy...... In addition, the French Government hopes to establish friendly and positive diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and hopes that the two countries can jointly safeguard world peace. ”

Of course, the most fierce reaction to this must have been the Japanese newspapers selling news and writing in a tone similar to mourning: "The four super-class battleships are attacking from the north and south, and the Japanese Empire is in danger on Chinese New Year's Eve The purpose of building these four super-battleships in the Soviet Union and China is to take revenge on Japan, and the combat power of the imperial navy is simply not capable of countering the four Karls. The offensive of the Marx-class battleships. If the expansion of the Imperial Navy continued to be bound by the Washington Naval Treaty, the completion of the four Marx-class battleships would be the end of the Japanese Empire on Chinese New Year's Eve."

While the newspapers Chinese New Year's Eve the countries were shouting Chinese New Year's Eve, their governments were unusually calm. The envoys to China of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy Chinese New Year's Eve only lightly "reminded" the Beijing government and demanded that China "stop in moderation" on the issue of exporting battleships. Only Japanese Minister Kenkichi Kozawa hinted to Chinese New Year's Eve President Sun Yat-sen in a menacing manner that "Chinese New Year's Eve the strong indignation of the Japanese Empire," but what they were "indignant" was not China's export of battleships to the Soviet Union, but the two "Karl Frivolts" built by China itself. Marx". They demanded that China immediately stop its shipbuilding program so as not to undermine peace and stability in the Asian region, otherwise, the Chinese side would be responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom, but the Japanese reaction ended there, and the remaining issue was to propose a revision of the Washington Naval Treaty and demand an increase in the tonnage of capital ships......

It seems that the countries are ready to acquiesce in this battleship deal between China, Germany, and the Soviet Union. It seems wise that Krupp chose the Soviet Union as the target of the "side-kick arms deal". Although Britain, the United States, France, and other countries do not like this socialist Chinese New Year's Eve country, no one can deny that the Soviet Union is a Chinese New Year's Eve country that has a decisive influence on the world situation. And there is also a particularly annoying GC International under the control of the Soviet Union, which is still less likely to provoke this country. As soon as the provincial people called for it, the proletariat in their own country rose up in protest...... Moreover, with the current national strength of the Soviet Union, since they are determined to build battleships, sooner or later the cities will have more than to sell their personal favors to China and Germany rather than to go to the futile blame. Sooner or later, China will have to purchase machinery and equipment from Britain and the United States for the foreign exchange it earns, and Germany will have to pay reparations if it earns some money.

……

Luo Yaoguo heard the newspapers on a plane to Moscow. Well, instead of reading the newspaper, I listened to the newspaper read to him by the new beauty's personal assistant Qu Ying. Qu Ying is already a "traitor" now, although Wu Ziliang, the director of military intelligence, is very suspicious of the girl's "traitor" identity. However, Luo Yaoguo has this problem - he doesn't have much resistance to beautiful beauties, he just told Natalie to pay attention to it, and let Qu Ying be his "personal assistant".

The so-called "personal assistant" is that it was not the Nationalist Government that hired her, but Luo Yaoguo himself. Her salary is all paid by Luo Yaoguo personally, and she is not included in the establishment of the national government, well, she is not a civil servant. As for the specific work...... It depends on the boss Luo Yaoguo's happiness, which is really sad. However, the last defense of the beauty is still holding on, and she has not let a certain boss eat it in her mouth, for the time being, it is just hugging and hugging, kissing or something.

At this time, Qu Ying was reading the newspaper in Luo Yaoguo's arms...... Putting down the newspaper in her hand, the beauty turned her head and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all over, it looks like what this is called. The battleships of the Marx' class are very powerful, and those foreigners are scared to death. Text, do we need to make more? ”

Luo Yaoguo stretched out his hand and twisted it lightly on Qu Ying's delicate nose, and said with a smile: "This is a military secret, I can't tell this girl." ”

Qu Yingjiao said angrily: "Hmph, no, no, I won't pay attention to it in the future." Although the words are so, this body is still lying motionless in people's arms, allowing Luo Yaoguo's unruly Chinese New Year's Eve hand to caress at will.

"Fuwen, are we really going to sell F-1 fighters to the Soviet Union this time? Aren't you afraid that in the future the Soviets will use this fighter to attack us? ”

It's another beauty, Natalie. At this moment, she frowned slightly, sitting on the seat opposite Luo Yaoguo, holding a stack of materials in her hand and slowly flipping through them. These were all "arms trade regiments" led by Lu Ming and boarded on the other two planes, preparing to obtain some technical data and data on the weapons and equipment that the Soviet Union, Poland, Turkey, and other countries had put on sale. Among them is the newly finalized F-1 or ME-1 biplane fighter. The German shareholders of the Sino-German aircraft manufacturing company saw that Krupp had passed the "Karl. Marx's "class battleships have earned a Chinese New Year's Eve, and they have long been moved. So when Lu Ming hinted slightly, they hinted that they wanted to use this aircraft for the arms trade.

Luo Yaoguo touched his chin, looked at Natalie, who seemed to be a little worried, and said in his heart: "This woman has left Poland now and knows that she wants to love Poland." Where is she worried that the Soviets will use the F-1 to attack China, obviously she is worried that the Soviets will find trouble with her Polish motherland after they have advanced fighter planes, and those two 'Marx' class are also a threat to Poland, and now the Polish government is anxious to buy new warships everywhere. It's just that Chinese New Year's Eve is not as generous as Si Chinese New Year's Eve Forest. I can't afford to buy a 'Marx' class of more than 30 million dollars. However, the Germans also took out their good tool for pressing the bottom of the box, the armored ship, and planned to take it to the slaughter Chinese New Year's Eve...... And this time the F-1 fighter is also planned to be sold to Chinese New Year's Eve. Let them match the Soviet F-1 fighter jets, these Germans are really proficient in the secret of the arms trade. ”

"Hehe, I still don't know if Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin can not resist looking at our F-1?" Luo Yaoguo waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "This fighter is not as durable as a battleship, this F-1 looks quite advanced at the moment, and it will be eliminated in less than two years, and the lost Sino-German company and aviation research institute are already developing the F-2, and the BMW company is also developing the latest idea, which has more than 600 horsepower." ”

Natalie said: "Then this new fighter will not be sold to the Soviet Union again." ”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said with a smile: "When the time comes, we are willing to sell, and the Soviet Union may not want it, right?" At present, the Soviet Union is not investing as much in the aviation industry as we do. It's just that we are a little ahead with the help of the advanced technology of the Germans, but in fact, this is not our lead, but Germany's lead. ”

Natalie bowed thoughtfully: "Actually, as far as I know, the Soviet Union already has two self-designed military aircraft, the Ai-3 reconnaissance aircraft and the I-3 fighter. The ideas are all imitations of the German Bmw-6 liquid-cooled ideas, and the fuselage is wooden. But the quality of the Soviet idea seems to be terrible......"

……

January was the coldest time in the high-latitude Soviet Union, when it was snowy and white. At present, however, the hearts of the people of the entire Soviet Union are warm, and they are full of energy and enthusiasm

This is because the 15th Chinese New Year's Eve meeting of the CPC held in December last year adopted the directive on formulating the first five-year plan for the growth of the national economy in 1928~1933, as in history. According to this instruction, the Soviet people were to build their homeland from an agrarian country into an industrial country in just five years. In addition, a relatively complete national economic system of self-reliance has been initially established, laying a solid material foundation for the realization of socialist industrialization.

However, the Soviet Union's "First Five-Year Plan" at this time and space may be a little larger than in history. Due to the disastrous defeat in the Russian War the second day, Chinese New Year's Eve Lin and the top brass of the Soviet Bolshevik Party realized that the Soviet Union was facing an imperialist invasion on a Chinese New Year's Eve at any time, and it was obvious that the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, in the face of the imperialist Chinese New Year's Eve invasion, could not fulfill the task of defending the motherland well because the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Red Army were "too backward." In particular, the armament of the Red Navy and the Air Force was completely vulnerable in the face of the imperialists, who possessed advanced weapons, so that they could not refrain from fulfilling the mission of escorting the first five-year plan. Therefore, Chinese New Year's Eve Lin did not consider squeezing out another part of the funds from the already very tight foreign exchange savings for the import of advanced weapons and equipment. However, this brought no difficulties to the formulation and implementation of the First Five-Year Plan. Not. Kuibyshev came to the Kremlin more than once, and frequently studied countermeasures with Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, the two 'Marx' class battleships have already spent too much foreign exchange." Kuibyshev, who had a pair of high foreheads and a Chinese New Year's Eve nose, was frowning at this moment, sitting opposite S Chinese New Year's Eve Lin's desk: "At the moment, we are too short of foreign exchange...... In the first five-year plan, it is necessary to build more than 1,500 Chinese New Year's Eve industrial enterprises equipped with modern technology. For this reason, we need to import Chinese New Year's Eve amount of machinery and equipment and technical data, so our foreign exchange is very lacking, and we can't help but reduce some ......."

"Reduce the import of some advanced weapons?" Chinese New Year's Eve Lin smiled bitterly: "Now that the Soviet motherland is being outflanked by the enemy, and we are building heavy industry under the bayonet threat of the enemy, Comrade Kuibyshev, can't we use our brains and think about where there is still potential to increase foreign exchange earnings?" You know, even that poor and backward China has now found enough foreign exchange to build heavy industry, how can we be worse than China? ”

Kuibyshev had deep bags under his eyes, and it looked like he was worried about the first five-year plan these days. After pondering for a moment, he said with a bitter smile: "Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, we and China are completely on two different roads. We are all on our own, and the only source of funds for industrialization is the countryside, while China is a semi-colony, and Chinese New Year's Eve part of their funds for industrialization come from imperialist capitalists...... But the industries we have built belong to the people, and what they have built belongs to imperialism, and there is no comparison between them."

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin smiled bitterly, took out a carved pipe from the drawer, and plucked a few pinches of tobacco leaves from the cigarette box, put in the pipe, wiped a match, lit the tobacco leaves, and smoked sullenly. What I have in mind is China's growth ideas, and China's current growth path is actually similar to that of Russia in the Tsarist era. At that time, Tsarist Russia was a heavy industry that grew with investment and loans from imperialist countries dominated by France, Chinese New Year's Eve part of the steel mills in Tsarist Russia were invested by French capitalists, and most of Tsarist Russia's military Chinese New Year's Eve technology came from foreign companies. But didn't Tsarist Russia also grow into imperialism? Hasn't it also built up more than five million tons of steel production? Isn't it possible to build battleships too? If it weren't for the World Chinese New Year's Eve War, maybe I wouldn't have been able to sit here and lead the country, right? Now China is growing along this line, and those Chinese are hardworking and hardworking than the Russians, if they grow up to be imperialists...... The situation of the Soviet Union is even more dangerous, so it must be far ahead of China in heavy industry, but where will this foreign exchange come from? Alas...... This "socialism in one country" is really hard

"Or ...... We want to strengthen economic cooperation with Japan and see if we can get some foreign exchange from them. This is Kuibyshev suddenly reminded:

"I heard that Japan is now increasing its efforts to save strategic materials on Chinese New Year's Eve, especially oil, and our country's oil resources are very rich. If we lend some money to Japan for oil development, and then sell the extracted oil to Japan......"

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin continued to smoke, his eyes rolling, but he didn't actually speak.

Kuibyshev continued to follow his train of thought: "Actually, not only Japan, but Germany is also short of oil. We can sell oil not only to Japan, but also to Germany, and perhaps we can use oil to pay for the balance of those two battleships. The current price of oil seems to be between $1.2 and $1.3, $37.5 million, or more than 30 million barrels of oil. This is a piece of food for the rich oil resources of the Soviet Union. Our first five-year plan can prioritize the growth of oil. Then export to Germany and Japan in exchange for their machinery and foreign currency, so that we can use additional foreign exchange to purchase weapons and equipment. Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve Lin, what do you think? ”

Chinese New Year's Eve Lin couldn't help but smile: "Comrade Kuibyshev, you really deserve to be our Soviet economic experts, such a good example has been thought of for you, we will do so." Oil and Germany and Japan in exchange for machines, foreign exchange
