Five years of peaceful development is too short for a century, and it is insignificant for a dynasty.

But for China, it is a real change, a change that has shed ignorance, feudalism, backwardness, and ignorance.

Although China is still poor for the United States, Britain, Germany, France, and other countries, China is no longer the rotten Manchu empire that was once at the mercy of the great powers.

Today's China is full of vitality, vigorous vigor, and the aspirations of the people, and China is full of unprecedented hope.

In five years, China's railways have been repaired from Beijing to Mongolia Province, Hezhong Province, Anxi Province, Yunnan Province, Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, and the main cement highway has also been built through all provinces, especially on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, three highways have been built, one from Chengdu to Lhasa, one from Xining to Lhasa, and one from Kunming to Lhasa, and the railway is also beginning to be built.

In five years, more than 10 million Han Chinese have been emigrated to Heilongjiang Province, Mongolia Province, Anxi Province, Beiting Province, and Hezhong Province, with a migrant population of more than 2 million in each province, and the total population of the five construction corps has grown to more than 300,000.

In five years, China's independent research and development and production of 10,000-ton battleships have long been launched into service, by Wang Jundao personally named the 'Zhonghua-class battleships', and now eight have been launched in the four major fleets, namely 'Hebei', 'Shandong', 'Sichuan', 'Guangdong', plus the 'Liaoning' and Japan's 'Kyushu' modified 'Jilin' and 'Jiangsu' three 10,000-ton battleships, the Chinese Navy has a full 11,000-ton battleships!

Five years. Wang Jundao, who has deep pockets, has continuously expanded the production scale of China's 18 major military shipyards, producing 55 destroyers, 53 cruisers, 57 frigates, 64 minesweepers, 82 landing ships, 62 supply ships, and 66 submarines, all of which are new-type ships. If it weren't for the huge reparations from Japan. He made a lot of money by selling prisoners, and Wang Jundao had to go bankrupt.

Just three months ago, China's first self-developed 30,000-ton 'Imperial'-class super battleship was launched, becoming the world's largest battleship. It was named 'Ba Qin' by Wang Jundao. Construction of three more Imperial-class super battleships, the Qianghan, the Shengtang, and the Weiming, is begins. It will be ready for service in two years at most.

In five years, the size of the navy has more than doubled, and the number of ships has exceeded 500. There are more than 1,200 auxiliary vessels, and the total number of naval personnel exceeds 200,000, of which 50,000 are marines, and nine large naval bases, 18 medium-sized naval bases, and 36 small naval bases have been established.

In the past five years, Wang Jundao's vigorous expansion of the army has not stopped, and the air force has also made a qualitative breakthrough.

In fact, the first bomber had been tested four years earlier, and three years ago it had achieved the results to Wang Jundao's initial satisfaction, and the first batch of bombers began to be produced, and now a full twenty-two bombers have been produced.

A year ago, the second-generation bomber test was completed, with a round-trip range of more than 2,000 kilometers, and the effect completely satisfied Wang Jundao, so he ordered mass production, and now a full five have been produced!

And at the same time as the bomber, there were also attack aircraft, and now the second generation of attack aircraft has also been produced four and is expanding the scale of production.

Tests of the fighter were completed half a year ago, and now a small number of first-generation fighters are being produced.

As for reconnaissance planes and transport planes, large-scale production has already begun; airports have already been built in Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding, Taiyuan, and Jinan, and Shenyang, Guisui, Kaifeng, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Wuhan.

In five years, Wang Jundao's modern unit consisting of a motorized infantry division, a mechanized infantry division, a self-propelled artillery brigade, and an armored tank brigade was freshly baked.

The modern troops, together with two field divisions armed with fully automatic weapons, a cavalry division equipped with submachine guns and shell guns, a field artillery division, an engineer brigade, a communications regiment, a biochemical regiment, a chemical defense regiment, an air defense regiment, a special operations regiment, plus an army aviation regiment composed of first-generation bombers, first-generation attack aircraft, transport planes, reconnaissance planes, etc., and an airship brigade, formed the 08th Group Army stationed in Beijing, which is also the most advanced group army among China's 27 group armies!

In the next five years, China's remaining nine Type A armies will develop according to the model of the 08th Group Army, and the rest of the group armies will gradually be mechanized and motorized.

Of course, this is not something that can be completed overnight, you must know that just to complete the transformation of more than 80,000 people of a group army to modernization, Wang Jundao has already spent hundreds of millions of dragon yuan, that is, more than 15 million pounds, of which there are still three divisions that have not turned to motorization, mechanization and armoring, otherwise the price will increase nearly double. Today's fifteen million pounds is at least more than 500 million pounds in modern society.

More than half a billion pounds, what is this concept? What if it is doubled? Wouldn't that be more than a billion pounds? This is just one army group, what about ten army groups? And what about the twenty-seven armies? If you add in the navy and air force, as well as the cost of weapons development, etc., it is simply impossible to modernize in a short period of time?

Sometimes Wang Jundao feels terrifying when he thinks about it.

It costs so much money to form a relatively modern group army, not counting the money for raising this group army every year, if it is counted, it will be even more terrifying...... If Wang Jundao had not received so much indemnity and money from various countries to ransom the prisoners, it would have been overstretched to feed more than 2 million naval, land and air forces with China's annual tax revenue, so that all the troops could use semi-automatic rifles, an appropriate amount of machine guns, and an appropriate amount of artillery. Even if it develops. I can't afford to feed it.

Therefore, in the next ten years, there will be about ten ace group armies like the 08th Group Army, and it will be enough to have about ten in the country, and it is really impossible to raise any more, and as for the other group armies, they are still dominated by semi-automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and artillery.

If you want to develop more modern troops, it is also easy, expand the territory, forcibly occupy resources, and sell for money!

But in Wang Jundao's opinion. This is beyond the cognition of this era of modern A group army. Don't say ten, as long as there are five, within ten years, it will be enough to sit firmly on the throne of the world's number one military power. If there are five more. Then it's time to expand the territory.

Great development with China. Big construction, big & leap forward (big stride forward) different, five years. South Korea (i.e., the Korean Empire, or Korea for short, that is, the Kingdom of Korea) is really living in dire straits, almost on the verge of collapse.

After the signing of the Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty in November 1894, Japan gradually withdrew more than 300,000 troops to its homeland, leaving only 200,000 troops stationed in Korea.

However, Japan's 200,000 troops had absolutely no logistics from the Japanese mainland, and all the expenses for food, grass, and military salaries were all provided by South Korea.

Not only that, in the past five years, the Japanese army has been exercising power in South Korea, collecting the wealth of the people, not only not asking for a penny from the Japanese mainland, but also delivering a large amount of money, silver, property, iron and coal and other mineral resources to the mainland.

Originally, most of South Korea's mineral resources were concentrated in the north of the 38th parallel, but now the north of the 38th parallel has become China's territory, and in the south of the 38th parallel, that is, today's South Korea, resources are scarce, except for coal, iron, lead, zinc, tungsten, etc., which have mining value, the rest have little mining value.

However, almost all of these valuable resources are appropriated by Japan by various means, either mined and transported back to China, or mined and sold to South Korean businessmen at high prices, and when these resources become essential commodities and reach the hands of ordinary people, the price has already risen many times.

Japan even owns forest resources in South Korea, large areas of forests are cut down by Japan, large pieces of timber are transported back to Japan, or directly resold to other countries, most of which are sold to China in the principle of proximity, I have to say that China's large-scale construction is inseparable from the large amount of Korean natural resources resold by Japan.

If the Koreans want to cut wood, they even have to get a permit from the Japanese.

Not counting these, Japan has also implemented various taxes in South Korea, such as industrial tax, commercial tax, agricultural tax, etc., which are ridiculously high, and there are even some unthinkable taxes, such as toll tax, water tax, city entry tax, etc., which are unheard of.

Those who could not afford to pay their taxes were to be arrested and sent to work as free coolies, logging, mining, and working...... Foodless food is not fed, but the workload is doubled, and countless infirm people often fall ill or even die of exhaustion after working for less than a month.

Japan didn't care at all, and when they fell ill, they threw them away, and if they died, they burned them with no one to collect them.

In the past five years, Japan has exploited South Korea by various means, and has squeezed almost all the value of South Korea clean.

In fact, all this was privately instructed by the Japanese emperor, because he knew that Japan would one day lose its rule over Korea, and one day Korea would become Chinese territory.

Rather than this, it is better to grab all the value of Korea as much as possible, and leave a devastated Korea to China, and he can use the resource wealth extracted from Korea to pay Japan's reparations to China.

In the eyes of Emperor Meiji, Korea was Chinese anyway, and Korea was Chinese land, so wouldn't it be a pleasure to use the money obtained from Chinese land to pay Japan's reparations to China?

If it can get enough reparations from South Korea to repay China, doesn't that mean that Japan has nothing to lose?

And in the future, when China occupies South Korea, it will have to spend a lot of money to build and restore South Korea, so doesn't that mean that Japan has ruthlessly tossed China enough with only what belongs to China?

Emperor Meiji thought so from beginning to end, so instead of reprimanding the various actions of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea, he praised the capabilities of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea.

But this is undoubtedly the most serious disaster for nearly 10 million people in South Korea!

The most odious thing is that the more than 300,000 troops of the ROK not only did not help the ROK people protect their homeland and stop the exploitation of the Japanese army, but instead followed the Japanese army to exploit the Korean people for personal gain.

It's almost like the Japanese army eats meat, and the Korean puppet army drinks soup, and the behavior of the Korean puppet army and the Chinese puppet army during World War II helped the Japanese army grab China's wealth!

Finally, the bullied South Korean people began to revolt. (To be continued......)
