For Wang Chenhao, the conventional force of the Chinese Empire is enough to defeat any country in the world, and unless he is forced to do so, Wang Chenhao will never allow the Chinese Empire to use nuclear weapons. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

"Then just wipe them off the earth, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no future troubles."

Zhang Zizhong broke the news again, and it seemed that he still didn't understand.

Wang Chenhao rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "That's five or six hundred million people!" If you really do that, then the Chinese Empire will be completely isolated from the whole world, and then we will really become an anti-human executioner. After that, the people of the empire will not want to live a peaceful life, and every day they dream that other countries will retaliate against us with nuclear bombs. ”

Wang Chenhao paused and continued: "Besides, can our dozens of nuclear weapons destroy all three countries? That's impossible! If these three countries are completely destroyed and all of them are slaughtered, at least five or six thousand nuclear weapons will be needed. And once these nuclear weapons are used, this earth will no longer have to stay, we all have to go to Mars, because the radiation pollution on the earth will exist for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and people and animals will not survive. ”

Zhang Zizhong's mouth suddenly opened wide and his eyes widened, he really didn't know that this would be the result. Similarly, although Song Jiaoren knows some, it is not as detailed and profound as Wang Chenhao's knowledge.

"This ...... Why do we spend so much money on developing nuclear weapons? ”

Wang Chenhao smiled bitterly: "That's the last resort, if you don't let me live, then everyone won't live, it's a weapon that will end up together." ”

Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This time he understood it completely.

Song Jiaoren sorted out his thoughts and re-proposed: "Nuclear weapons are only a last resort, and the current comprehensive national strength and military strength of the empire are enough to defend the empire's core interests in the world, so the minister suggested that we wait for the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield to change before making a final decision." ╔╗”

Wang Chenhao also means this. He believed that there could never be a strong country in his neighbors, so he could tolerate the rise of Germany, but not the growing power of the Soviet Union. If it were not for the important role of the USSR in containing Germany. Wang Chenhao even had the idea of directly destroying the Soviet Union.

Zhang Zizhong then said: "Since it is inevitable to fight Germany in the end, then the empire will now carry out a comprehensive military deployment." Once the war starts, do it with a target. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want!" But until then, the work of the people needs to be done well. At present, the strength of the Allies is very strong, and if the empire enters the war, then it will no longer be a world war for Westerners, but a real Star Wars, and we and even the entire member countries of the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle will be involved in the war. ”

"The minister must be arranged!" Zhang Zizhong's face was full of excitement. For him, there is nothing more exciting and motivating than the word Star Wars.

Looking at Zhang Zizhong's excited expression, Wang Chenhao was also bottomless in his heart, he didn't know if this could prevent the Soviet Union from hegemony after the war, he didn't want it to become a bipolar pattern after the war, because the Cold War was too terrifying, and a nuclear war could break out at any time and lead to the extinction of mankind.

"That's right!" Wang Chenhao suddenly remembered an important thing and asked: "How is the progress of nuclear weapons research in various countries?" ”

Zhang Zizhong hurriedly explained: "According to the latest information that the minister has. Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union are the main countries that develop nuclear weapons, and none of them have given up on developing nuclear weapons before, and the fastest is Germany, which is speculated to have reached a subcritical level in its underground nuclear tests. Other countries have not been making rapid progress due to technological constraints and financial constraints. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly frowned and said: "The secret underground nuclear test base of the Germans must be found as soon as possible." And then destroy it. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zizhong immediately received the order. ╔╗

Wang added: "Other countries must not let their guard down and also stop their nuclear tests." ”

At this time, Song Jiaoren said: "Britain has stopped nuclear testing in accordance with the agreement, and its nuclear facilities have now been handed over to imperial supervision and dismantled. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly asked, "What about the French side?" ”

Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong glanced at each other, both showing embarrassment, and the latter explained: "Your Majesty, the empire originally wanted to personally destroy France's nuclear facilities, but it was opposed by the French government. The French side said that they would destroy it themselves, but what they did not expect was that the German army attacked too fast, and the French government surrendered in a blink of an eye. ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly frowned and said: "In this way, France's nuclear facilities have not been destroyed!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zizhong hurriedly blamed himself: "The minister's failure to prevent the German army from obtaining France's nuclear facilities is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister!" ”

"That's it!" Wang Chenhao sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, we can only hope that the Germans have not received any substantial help!" ”

Zhang Zizhong hurriedly said: "The minister must urge the intelligence personnel to find out the German nuclear test base as soon as possible, so as to completely destroy it." ”

Wang Chenhao nodded, turned to Song Jiaoren and asked, "How are the secret funds and war national debts prepared?" ”

The so-called secret funds are the income obtained by the Imperial Bank, the central bank of the Chinese Empire, by secretly operating the money printing machine and printing dragon coins, and the amount of funds is extremely large. In order to prepare for his intervention in World War II, Wang Chenhao plans to issue an additional 1.2 trillion dragon coins within five years, excluding the liquidity gap caused by the actual lack of gold in the five years, and about 700 billion dragon coins are really in a state of excessive issuance. ╔╗ And because the dragon currency of the Chinese Empire is an international currency, governments and people hold huge amounts of dragon coins as foreign exchange reserves, so that half of the possible currency depreciation caused by the 700 billion additional dragon coins issued by the Chinese Empire will be borne by the creditors of the dragon coins held by various countries.

Since the Chinese Empire adopts a conservative monetary quantitative easing policy, the 1.2 trillion dragon coins will be divided into five years to complete, and it is certain that the actual purchasing power of the dragon coins will decline slightly, but the war will divert people's attention, and the Chinese Empire will cooperate with the issuance of war bonds, unless the Chinese Empire is defeated, with the international credibility of the Chinese Empire, the dragon currency will still be strong, and will not affect the people of developed countries, including the citizens of the Chinese Empire. But the backward countries will certainly suffer substantial and huge losses.

"Your Majesty!" Song Jiaoren bowed down and replied: "The Imperial Bank and the Royal Bank have opened 12 additional banknote production lines, and are currently in full swing, and the printing and numbering of 170 billion dragon coins have been completed. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and asked, "How much is it short of the total war reserves?" ”

Song Jiaoren added: "There is still a gap of 130 billion. More than $110 billion has been raised through the issuance of war bonds, and the remaining less than $20 billion will be filled by the budget balance of the Ministry of Finance. ”

"300 billion war reserves, is it enough?" Wang Chenhao turned to Zhang Zizhong.

Zhang Zizhong thought about it. He replied: "The four armies of the Imperial Army, Navy, Air and Space are all in their strength, and it should be enough to defeat the US-German Allied bloc in three months!" ”

Wang Chenhao smiled: "Don't talk too much!" It's good to leave some leeway. Do you think Hitler and Roosevelt were the ones you could defeat so easily? ”

Song Jiaoren suddenly said: "Isn't Germany an oil-poor country?" It is all up to the empire to supply oil, otherwise it would have been defeated long ago. Even if Germany occupied France, there would not be much oil available. As long as the Reich cut off the oil supply to Germany, Germany would have to surrender within three months. ╔╗”

Song Jiaoren's words were actually what Zhang Zizhong thought in his heart, but this time Zhang Zizhong played a clever trick and handed over the words to Song Jiaoren to refute Wang Chenhao.

Wang Chenhao smiled faintly and said, "I just got news from the Intelligence Bureau that the United States has opened up the Arctic Ocean route. Large-scale oil supplies to Germany began. At the same time, the Germans themselves have developed the industrial capacity to smelt oil from coal, and now Germany has achieved self-sufficiency in 60% of its oil crops, and Romania's oil regions have recovered 60% of their production capacity, so it can be said that it is impossible to use oil to force the Germans to submit. ”

For Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong, because the Chinese empire directly and indirectly controls 81% of the world's oil resources, the Chinese empire has never known what the pain of oil-poor countries is, so it has never focused on the efforts of oil-poor countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom to develop coal refining technology. Especially Zhang Zizhong. It was only now that he had heard for the first time that coal could also be refined.

Coal liquefaction technology originated in Germany and has been studied since the 19th century. Germany is a rich coal and poor oil country, and in 1913, the German chemist Friedrich ? Burgess has developed a direct coal liquefaction technology that hydrogenates coal under high temperature and high pressure conditions to produce fuel. and patented. For this, Burgess was awarded the 1931 China International Baoxing Prize in Chemistry. In 1923, Fischer and Toropus, German chemists who worked in the Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry of the Chinese Empire, successfully experimented with indirect liquefaction technology, but because the Chinese Empire did not have a shortage of oil and the high cost of coal refining, Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry terminated the research and transferred the technology to Germany, Britain and France.

In 1927, the German Farben used the Burgess method to build the world's first direct coal liquefaction plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons in Leuna, near Leipzig, Germany. In 1934, the Ruhr chemical company in Germany built the world's first indirect coal liquefaction plant with an annual output of 70,000 tons using the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. In 1935, the British Bnemen Chemical Industry Company built a direct coal liquefaction plant with an annual output of 150,000 tons in Billingheim. In addition, the Chinese Empire, France, the United States, Canada and other countries have also built some coal refineries for experiments, and the world's total production capacity reached 340,000 tons that year. ╔╗

As a country with poor oil resources, it was not until the outbreak of World War II that Hitler and the German General Staff discovered that Germany's oil reserves were so small that it seriously threatened the combat capability of the German army's mechanized troops.

As early as the outbreak of World War I in 1912, the German army's maximum annual oil consumption was only 2.24 million tons, and the Germans were not aware of the problem of oil shortage at that time, because the Chinese Empire had been peddling their oil from beginning to end, although it was expensive, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the German army.

However, after 1932, with the rapid decline in Sino-German relations, Hitler intensified the development of coal refining technology in order to get rid of the oil control of the Chinese Empire, so that Germany's annual coal refining output reached more than 1 million tons. The Germans used the shale oil layer of the Alsace coal mine to refine heavy oil by internal thermal dry distillation, with a daily output of 8,000 tons, which was mainly used by German naval ships. However, the heavy oil produced by this method was highly impurities, and the ship's fuel nozzles were often blocked, and the German Navy was very angry, and blamed the sinking of the Bismarck and Tirpitz battleships on the use of substandard fuel. Bentz, the head of the Alsace shale oil plant, committed suicide as a result.

With the outbreak of World War II. The Germans finally hit the nail on the nail in the oil problem, and the bombing of the Romanian oil region almost brought the German war machine to a halt. The Chinese Empire intervened at the right time, although it relieved Hitler's urgent need. But Hitler was even more afraid of the Chinese Empire because of this, and was unwilling to be pinched by the Chinese Empire's neck like this.

The German side was once forced by the Chinese Empire to develop charcoal-burning tanks, but the lack of actual combat capability was quickly canceled. As a result, the German side paid more attention to oil. Rapid upgrading of coal refining technology and expansion of coal refining production plants.

1940 year. Germany has built 9 sets of indirect coal liquefaction units and 18 sets of direct coal liquefaction units, and the output of coal-to-liquid has reached 1.62 million tons, 3.2 million tons in 1941, and 5.6 million tons before the German occupation of France in 1942.

Despite the high cost of coal refining in Germany, for the German side, it got rid of the dangerous situation of being pinched by the neck of the Chinese Empire. However, in order to save money, Hitler still did not tear his face with the Chinese Empire, but continued to import oil from the Chinese Empire. The import volume was huge, as high as 26 million tons in 1942 alone, mainly for the war reserve of oil, because Hitler was worried about a war with the Chinese Empire, so he took advantage of the honeymoon period with the Chinese Empire to hurry up and reserve oil.

However, Hitler intensified the construction of coal refineries, and his goal was by 1944. Nearly two-thirds of Germany's jet fuel and 80 percent of its oil for automobiles and armored vehicles were supplied by coal-to-liquid, completely freeing itself from the shackles of the Chinese Empire.

At the same time, the United States opened the Arctic Ocean route, and the German Navy abandoned military operations in the Baltic. The main force moved to the Barents Sea, protected the American-German shipping routes, obtained large quantities of cheap oil from the United States, and gradually reduced oil imports from the Chinese Empire.

With the Anglo-German armistice, the British Navy withdrew from the Barents Sea, and the British and German navies in the Atlantic also ended the fighting, which freed up the German Navy to deal with the Soviet Navy with all its might, and protected American cargo ships from the United States to Germany.

These changes in the situation have always been closely watched by Wang Chenhao. Although there are some situations that Wang Chenhao can grasp with the help of history, there are more uncertain factors, and these uncertain factors also make Wang Chenhao extra careful every time he makes a decision, because he has basically lost the ability to be a "prophet" now, and the outcome of the matter is no longer within his expectations.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Chenhao became cautious, and he saw many things profoundly, but there were also drawbacks, that is, he gradually lost the adventurous spirit at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Of course, it's not just Wang Chenhao. Many of the founding heroes of the Chinese Empire also only wanted to be comfortable and stable, and lacked the spirit of adventure. Taking the Imperial Chinese Navy as an example, when the Imperial Chinese Navy was weak in the past, the officers and men of the Imperial Navy yearned for the spirit of gambling and adventure in sneak attacks, but after the Chinese Empire ascended to the throne of the world's naval hegemon, this kind of sneak attack adventure no longer exists, and the Imperial Navy belittled the sneak attack every day as a weak behavior, and weakened the sneak attack around the world, encouraging European-style gentlemen's warfare, in fact, it wanted other countries to give up the idea of sneak attack, Because what the current Imperial Chinese Navy is most afraid of is being attacked by the enemy.

Perhaps, this is the natural two-sided nature of anything that goes from weak to strong! When in different environments and different classes, different ways and different interests are considered.

After listening to Wang Chenhao's words, Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong were ashamed, they didn't realize that Germany had quietly solved the problem of fuel shortage, which was a huge strategic mistake.

The two hurriedly said: "The minister is afraid, Your Majesty has taught you a lesson!" ”

Then Song Jiaoren said: "Since it is no longer possible to contain Germany in oil, won't Germany be even more arrogant in the future?" In the opinion of the ministers, it will not be long before Hitler dares to argue with the Reich. ”

Wang Chenhao also felt a headache, the current World War II had far exceeded his expectations. However, what made him happy was that the Chinese Empire had mastered nuclear weapons, which made the Chinese Empire invincible, so this gave Wang Chenhao a lot of choices.

"Whatever Hitler thought, we now have to prepare for the worst, and the British have to reassure them that we are making preparations. The Soviets continued to support them, and they had to be counted on to fight the Germans. However, with regard to the Soviet Union's request to join the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere, we must properly reply to it, so that the Soviet Union cannot be a part of us, nor can it dampen their enthusiasm. ”

Song Jiaoren hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order and will deal with this matter properly!" ”

Then Wang Chenhao turned to Zhang Zizhong again and said: "Military spending will be guaranteed, in addition to strengthening the military strength and preparing for war, we must make strategic arrangements." In the event of a war, the United States and Germany may attack us from east to west, and we have deployed an island chain blockade around the United States, but the German navy is strong enough to ensure that the strategic commanding heights are seized as soon as the war begins. ”

Zhang Zizhong immediately received the order: "Yes!" The minister has ordered the General Staff to carry out strategic planning, and after the plan is introduced, the minister will present it to Your Majesty for your own review as soon as possible. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "I'll think about it so much for the time being!" You go back and think about it again, see what you need to add, and bring it up as soon as possible, don't be too troublesome. ”

Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong hurriedly said yes.

Wang Chenhao said again: "Now it's up to the Soviet Union, it is estimated that it can support a year and a half, you should go down and prepare!" Once the Empire enters the war, it will be an earth-shattering move! ”

Song Jiaoren and Zhang Zizhong immediately shouted their orders and gave salute to retire. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
