As far as Kai-ye Lee is concerned, he has had to confront a thorny and annoying problem as soon as he becomes China's president -- that Ben is becoming China's closest and most troublesome challenger in the Pacific.

In 1901, after the end of the Far Eastern War, the company was deprived of the central banking system under the restrictions of the Treaty of Tientsin, and various consortia were severely sanctioned.

However, the situation after the war in the Far East had begun to be unfavorable to China, and in order to limit China's expansion, Britain, the United States, and Germany gave China a greater check on the issue of this issue, and failed to allow China to settle the issue once and for all.

From 1901 to 1905, it was indeed a difficult time, but since then, with the support of Britain and the United States, it has continuously obtained new loans and support conditions, and the development of the whole country has been very stable.

In particular, after Shibata Toshio came to power, he established the Progressive Party headed by himself, actively promoted the centrist policy of emulating the Chinese Ta Gong Party, re-supported the development of the big chaebol, promoted agricultural cooperatives in the country, increased investment in national infrastructure, and promoted a policy of universal national education.

After the end of World War I, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Yasuda and other major conglomerates have already regained their strength, and they have successively surpassed the Fuji Foundation.

With the expiration of the Treaty of Tianjin, the city also resumed its financial literacy in 1926 and began to increase the expansion of the navy and land forces, while in the past 25 years, the defense expenditure of the city accounted for only 3% of the fiscal revenue, which greatly ensured the country's infrastructure.

In 1930, after the death of Shibata Toshio, right-wing forces re-emerged, and the DPP began to gradually transform from a centrist party to a center-right party, and actively promoted a new policy of expansion.

During this period, he also considered forming an alliance with China and joining the Chinese-led Eurasian camp, but the problem was that Hu Chuyuan had always stubbornly refused, and even if he considered it later, he directly rejected his request to return the territory of the surrounding islands.

This led to the eventual integration of the British and American camps, and increased efforts to establish an army and air force system, with limited investment in the navy.

Everyone has flaws, and Hu Chuyuan's flaw is that he has a deep-rooted hatred and antipathy for Yumoto, and even at the best stage when Shibata Toshio was in charge of the situation in Yumoto, he did not agree to Shibata Toshio's proposal for an alliance between China and Yue.

If in the past, it was said that it was supposed to oppose China in order to become the hegemon of Asia, but now it is purely seeking the second best thing, only seeking self-preservation, and only hoping that it will not become a special autonomous province of China.

The strategy of the book is very simple, they look forward to the victory of the United Kingdom, the United States and France as a whole, and what they have to do is to contain China, and take out the book as a pedal for the United States and Britain Navy, and concentrate their own efforts on developing the army and air force.

If they need to land in China to fight, they will send their army and air force to fight on a large scale, and if they don't need to, they can also send troops to Europe and Southeast Asia to fight while ensuring the security of their own country.

The navy is very expensive, and it is said that it does not engage in naval confrontation with China, but invests its relatively small funds in the army and builds an air force around the army.

However, with the support of Anglo-American technical assistance, it also began the construction of autonomous 25,000-ton battleships and new aircraft carriers.

It's not easy to deal with.

It's like a hedgehog, maybe not strong, and once it's in a ball, it's in trouble.

Since it is a relatively closed economy, it has hardly been affected by the economic crisis, and after joining the British and American camps, it has exported a large number of its cheap industrial products to Britain and the United States and other countries, further accelerating its economic growth.

The data and intelligence that Li Kaiye has seen now can clearly show that since 1931, the economy has been maintaining a high-speed development stage of about 5.5 percent.

He couldn't help but think, if Seon lost his horse, how could he know if it was a blessing?

After the defeat in the Far East War, it has achieved a period of stable development for 30 years, and now it is accumulating and developing rapidly, and the overall economic and technological level has leaped thousands of miles.

Li Kaiye has seen Toshio Shibata, and he really didn't expect that the man who looked handsome like a movie actor could bring such a huge change to Yuben, and was called "the giant of Yuben" and "the captain of the new era".

Thinking that Shibata Toshio might still be a centrist party politician cultivated by Hu Chuyuan, Li Kaiye couldn't help but sigh in his heart-My lord, you really made a mistake!

He didn't dare to say that this mistake was not small.

In fact, in the first place, it should have been directly controlled through the expansion of the chaebol, and even if the economic and industrial strength of the capital was raised, at least it could be controlled in his hands and used as a weapon for himself.

It's good now.

Li Kaiye really didn't understand, he didn't know how a far-sighted person like Hu Chuyuan could make such a mistake.

Unless......?

Li Kaiye suddenly thought, could it be that Hu Chuyuan deliberately wanted to leave an opportunity to attack Yueben again and sink all the wealth accumulated in Yueben's 30 years of peaceful development?

"It's difficult...... Oh my lord!! ”

Li Kaiye frowned in distress, approved the best countermeasures he could think of on the report, and asked the people in the presidential office to forward them to the State Military Commission and the Prime Minister's Office respectively, and by the way, he also asked people to forward a special copy to Hu Chuyuan.

He thought that maybe there would be an answer from Hu Chuyuan.

The report he forwarded to Hu Chuyuan soon came back, and there was a new reply.

It's just a very simple word to reply, but it's powerful.

"Boom".

This one......?

Li Kaiye had a headache, and after thinking about it, he called Hu Chuyuan.

After waiting for a while, it was still the same Niu Shuxian for thousands of years.

Hearing Niu Shuxian's voice that was extremely unwilling for Li Kaiye to see, Li Kaiye had a little more headache, he really didn't understand, what was good about Niu Shuxian, the surname was quite gentle before, but now that he is older and menopause has arrived, his surname is getting more and more rude.

This is really a typical case of fox and fake tiger power.

Li Kaiye gritted his teeth hatefully, and waited for a while before he connected to Hu Chuyuan and heard the voice of Master Hu who had not been seen for a long time.

He smiled and asked Hu Chuyuan, "My lord, I didn't bother you, did I?" ”

"No, I'm listening to the news radio, and now I'm dazzled, I'm too tired to read the newspaper, and it's better to find someone to read the newspaper and delay other people's time, so it's better to listen to the news radio directly."

Hu Chuyuan replied flatly.

Listening to his answer, Li Kaiye seemed to have seen the familiar old man Hu wearing a reading glasses, holding a newspaper in his hand but not being able to read the handwriting, and there was a pleasant standard radio sound on the radio next to him.

Li Kaiye laughed again.

He and Hu Chuyuan asked: "My lord, let me tell you something, what kind of idea is the 'boom' you said, I am asking for specific ideas!" ”

Hu Chuyuan snorted and said, "You are China's number one general, do you still have to ask me?" Let the Admiralty do an experiment to see if it is possible to install rocket artillery on the 307 special container ship, the larger the caliber, the better. When their navy is sunk, you will bomb Tokyo, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka, and Nagoya one by one. The industrial cities of Ben are all near the sea, and its natural harbor is the most abundant in the world, and the shortcomings are not here! It is also possible to convert an aircraft carrier with a 307 special cargo ship, but then we also need to consider the issue of the Air Force, right? ”

The 307 special cargo ship is a 30,000-ton special oil tanker developed by Hyundai Heavy Industries, and there is almost no construction on the upper deck.

In terms of shipbuilding materials, technology, ship anti-sinking ability and defense power, it is obviously a big cut more than ordinary merchant ships, and the cost is very high, mainly through the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission separately ordered, leased to domestic small and medium-sized transport companies for use, ready to be rebuilt into military supply ships, transport ships and aircraft carriers on a large scale in the war.

"Huh!"

Li Kaiye smiled, he understood that Hu Chuyuan had a plan to bomb the coastal industrial city of Yuben very early.

This is a good way to cripple the city without a large-scale landing, and to wipe out the industrial system of the city one by one, and then you can slowly land and fight until the city is wiped out.

As he continued to think about it, Hu Chuyuan said again: "This time, there shouldn't be any other countries that will intervene, so, you know...... In addition, I will pay half of the military expenses for this book, and first give the Central Military Commission a start-up fund of 500 million yuan. ”

"Huh!"

Li Kaiye smiled again, it's a good thing that someone sends money.

He knew that Hu Chuyuan hated Yue Ben very much, after all, Yu Ben had repeatedly assassinated Hu Chuyuan, and he was still the first Asian country to provoke an attack on China itself.

A thousand years later, China will still live next to each other, and if this country is not defeated all at once, the future troubles will be endless.

Although the economy of North Korea is also very good, the entire light and heavy industry has developed, but North Korea is not terrible, first, its economic subject is controlled by the Fukang consortium, even the so-called local Samsung Heavy Industries, there are more than half of the shares controlled by the Fukang consortium; Second, North Korea and China are separated by only one river, and thirty divisions are stationed in the northeast, which can scare North Korea to death without going south.

It's still easy to control North Korea.

It is said that the distance is far away, and there is a sea in the middle, so it is very difficult to storm it.

In terms of national special surnames, he is also much more powerful than North Koreans.

After talking to Hu Chuyuan on the phone, Li Kaiye's mood was much more comfortable, indeed, Hu Chuyuan gave him a very good idea...... That is, the coastal bombardment of the industrial city of Benben, until the light is fired, whether to land and fight, will be discussed later.

Now that I think about it, Li Kaiye finds it much more interesting.

He quickly made a phone call to the General Staff of the Navy to ask whether the 307 special freighter project was similar to the reconstruction plan and test, and the answer was really yes, it was carried out very early, and there are already special 275mm rocket launchers, 12 interpacks, the maximum range is 60 kilometers, and a variety of warheads can be replaced.

In addition, a rocket launcher of 330mm caliber is being developed, with 8 units and customary guidance, with a designed maximum range of 120 kilometers and a maximum error of no more than 300 meters.

Both rocket launchers are available in both vehicle-mounted and ship-based versions.

The problem of the shipborne type is that it has a low ability to resist wind and waves, and even in windless conditions, the accuracy of the rocket artillery will be greatly affected by the fluctuations of the ship itself.

Therefore, it can basically only be used for intensive air defense and ground attacks, and even the latter, which has relatively lower requirements, has very limited attack accuracy, and cannot attack specific targets, but can only carry out indiscriminate covering bombing with cities and ports as the main objects.

Due to the greater power of the warhead explosion, the effect is also better than that of artillery bombardment.

"That's a lot of fun!"

Li Kaiye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, put down the phone, and pondered in his heart again, he always felt that the shipborne rocket artillery project was really aimed at this research.

The range of 120 kilometers was just enough for a large number of ships to bombard Tokyo intensively outside the port of Yokosuka.

Li Kaiye may not have thought that the word "boom" that Hu Chuyuan said may contain other meanings, of course, it depends on his luck, if the progress can't catch up, they will be considered lucky!
