As the oldest empire in Europe, the HRE Empire had too many nobles and vested interests. After so many years of development, they have completed their transformation into monsters lying on the country and sucking blood. Not to mention that the country is useless, but it continues to destroy the foundation of the country.

Empty has a huge population, territory, resources. However, the HRE Empire was at the bottom of the list of industrial powers in Europe. Because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, the ruling class of the HRE Empire has always focused only on maintaining its own rule, and has always been indifferent to the suffering of the people.

Why did the German Chancellor run from Austria to Germany? It is because the ruling class of the HRE Empire has reached a point where everyone is completely desperate. Therefore, it is not surprising that a sweeping, large-scale military coup d'état.

The Nazi Party in the HRE Empire led the coup d'état, but surprisingly gained the support of the vast majority of the population. Ordinary citizens, peasants from the suburbs, garrison troops, patrolling police, and even some enlightened aristocrats joined in the coup.

The ruling class of the HRE Empire perfectly interprets the meaning of the word 'unpopular'. And the price is the end of an ancient empire that has been inherited for thousands of years.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Imperial Guards were wiped out, and the HRE Emperor was threatened by the mutineers' bayonets to issue an abdication telegram and announce an immediate referendum. Most of the inhabitants and garrisons of HRE chose to join the German-dominated Reich of Germany. A powerful empire rose in the middle of Europe.

The crisis in Central Europe ended in such a dramatic end. Even if Da Ming wanted to support the HRE Empire, there was no way.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is still recovering its economy, it is almost impossible to send a huge army on an expedition of thousands of miles to wage an all-out war with a powerful country with many supporters, and now is not a hundred years ago! When the dust finally settled, Da Ming could only make an announcement sourly, and there was nothing else he could do.

At this time, most of the energy and funds of the Ming Dynasty were spent on revitalizing the economy and rearmament at home, and it was beyond the reach of what happened in distant Europe. Especially when Anglo-French-German are already formally aligned.

In fact, Shousuke-sama had long sensed that a large-scale war was imminent. And Shousuke-sama himself has the evil consequences of passing on the economic crisis through war. At the same time strengthen the power in their hands. The idea of force. In this case, countries, whether ambitious or not, began to strengthen their respective armaments. No one wants to be food in someone else's mouth!

Soon after Germany's annexation of the HRE Empire, it entered into a new framework agreement for mutual economic assistance with its allies, Britain and France. They formed their own small economic circles to exclude the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time withdrew from the gold standard, greatly devaluing the national currency and increasing exports to counter the Ming bandits' policy of gold leverage.

The German Chancellor referred to the British, French, and German Triple Alliance as the European Union. Abbreviated as the European Union. Britain, France, and Germany strongly invited European countries to join this alliance, even if they did not sign a military alliance treaty, and they could also sign a treaty of mutual economic assistance. In the words of the German Prime Minister, "The economic circles built by the Europeans themselves are better than the gold blackmail of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

In the face of such a powerful challenge, Daming naturally could not turn a blind eye. Wang Fan, who had just stepped down as Governor of the Transvaal, became the new Minister of Foreign Affairs and frequently shuttled between the countries of Europa. All kinds of coercion, inducement, intimidation and threats of behind-the-scenes transactions, all kinds of vertical and horizontal means emerge one after another. The diplomatic community across Europe is in turmoil.

The European Economic Circle proposed by the EU is indeed beneficial to European countries. However, the power of the Ming Dynasty frightened most countries. Hundreds of years of coercion is not just talk, you must know that the Ming Dynasty still has concessions and garrisons in many European countries. In addition to Russia, which has always been at odds with the Ming Dynasty, and Spain chose to join. The rest of Europe was hesitant to bet lightly.

The Americans encircled the whole of America and buried themselves in development. The Europeans again began to try to unify the forces of Europe against the Ming Dynasty. Where can Lord Shousuke, who has been in politics for decades, tolerate this kind of sand? In addition to expressing his tough stance in various ways, Shousuke-sama began to massively increase the cost of the special army to expand the strength of the army.

The Ming Dynasty has been around the world for hundreds of years and has won almost every war. Whenever things deteriorated beyond resolution, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty preferred to use force to solve all problems. As long as the battle is won, then any problem can be solved.

The Ming Dynasty began to expand its armaments on a large scale, like a flare in the dark night, and everyone understood what the Ming meant. Da Ming, or that arrogant and domineering, when he is unwilling to be reasonable, he goes directly to the bayonet. The Ming Dynasty, who always thinks that axioms only exist within the range of cannons!

It has always been the right of the Ming Dynasty to go to war!

When the retreat is cut off. Almost simultaneously, countries began to embark on the path of a large-scale arms race. The originally depressed economy has developed in this special environment in a strange deformity.

Almost all countries think the same thing, smashing the pot and selling iron to expand their armaments and prepare for war. As long as you can win, all the efforts and debts can be passed on to the opponent. And if you lose the fight, then keeping it is just for others, and it is better to spend it yourself.

Countries are beginning to invest heavily in heavy industry. As a master of various science and technology, it can drive the upstream and downstream industrial chain. And large ship projects, which absorb a large number of workers, are the most eye-catching. In 1935 alone, dozens of large warships were laying keels on slipways. Among them, the largest investment is, of course, the most powerful Daming

"Do you want to share the cake this time?" In the Jiangnan Shipyard on Chongming Island, Zhang Cheng and Vice Admiral Yunmo, wearing hard hats, stood next to a huge dock and watched a large number of workers make final preparations for the launch of a huge warship.

"What kind of cake do you have in this situation?" Lieutenant General Yunmo glanced at Zhang Cheng angrily, "The boat you built is about to be launched, and those bastards' boats have just completed the main body." If the Navy gives them the order again. I, the Minister of Armament, am going to court martial. ”

"Hey!" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile, "I have prepared the dock, and now I am waiting for the order of the navy." ”

"Hmm." Vice Admiral Yunmo nodded with satisfaction, "The new budget has been passed, four aircraft carriers." The construction of four battleships is all left to you, the navy. As for the kind of large air defense cruisers that you submitted, as well as submarines, destroyers, frigates, etc., they were built by shipyards that performed well. As for the fools who can't meet the deadline, they will be removed from the military factory! ”

"What's the latest movement of the navies?" Zhang Cheng raised his hand and motioned Vice Admiral Yunmo to go to the viewing platform together, and asked as he walked, "What is the latest shipbuilding plan of various countries?" ”

"The latest news." Lieutenant General Yunmo pursed his lips. "The U.S. Congress has passed the Navy budget for the 1935 fiscal year, specifically approving the start of construction of six battleships and four aircraft carriers. The Japanese also made it clear that they would start construction of the second ship of the Yamato-class class, and at the same time, they would also start construction of two aircraft carriers. As for Germany, two ships were built on the Bismarck-class and Scharnhorst-class, and two on the Zeppelin-class. The most exaggerated were the British, directly four battleships and four aircraft carriers. Hell yes, where did they get the money to build these behemoths? ”

"I can understand the start of battleships, but haven't aircraft carriers not been tested in real combat? Why do countries invest money in aircraft carriers at all of them? Zhang Cheng looked at Lieutenant General Yunmo with confusion. He knows that aircraft carriers are the way of development in the future, and it doesn't matter how many battleships are built by various countries. But why are so many aircraft carriers in operation? How did they know the power of the aircraft carrier?

"Although it has not been in actual combat, since your new aircraft was revealed, all countries have begun to develop their own new aircraft. When new planes come out, they all use old warships for live-fire tests. No one is blind, and the power of the new aircraft can be seen by all, even with all kinds of resistance and messy reasons, the large-scale construction of aircraft carriers is already the general trend. ”

"Hmph." Zhang Cheng sneered when he heard this, and slowly walked onto the wide viewing platform, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. With an indifferent smile on his face, he said, "The aircraft carrier actually has no combat effectiveness, it is just a delivery platform." I want to be truly powerful. You have to have a state-of-the-art aircraft and good pilots. Without these two things, no matter how good an aircraft carrier is, it is just a steel coffin. ”

"The performance of the new aircraft in various countries is very good, how long has it been since your aircraft was launched? The performance, which used to be far ahead, is now starting to catch up. You don't have any ideas? Lieutenant General Yunmo looked at Zhang Cheng and asked with a smile.

"Of course I have an idea." Zhang Cheng took a few steps forward and looked at the huge battleship not far away, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said softly, "But for the time being, it's just an idea." ”

"Don't be late for tomorrow's launching ceremony." When leaving the shipyard. Zhang Cheng smiled and joked with Lieutenant General Yunmo.

"Come even if you don't sleep." Vice Admiral Yunmo smiled and nodded, "This is a navy ship." ”

"General, where are you going?" After getting into the car, Xiao Hongbao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned his head and asked.

Zhang Cheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said softly before he groaned slightly, "Go to the submarine workshop." ”

Zhang Cheng invested heavily in the expansion of the Jiangnan Shipyard, not just by adding a dock. In this era of economic depression. All kinds of industrial products and good workers were cheap, and Zhang Cheng built a new submarine workshop. It's not big here, and it's not a place for mass production of submarines. The main purpose here is to test new submarine technology. For example, snorkels, new engines, high-efficiency batteries, new torpedoes, and so on.

In Zhang Cheng's eyes, the role of submarines is no worse than that of aircraft carriers. That is, Daming is now in absolute upper hand, and there are not many places where submarines are really needed. Otherwise, Zhang Cheng would not have moved a large and complex warship like an aircraft carrier at all, and the submarine would have exploded a long time ago. (To be continued......)
