Beginning in 1933, the Chinese Navy began to secretly build the first Yabinsk-class aircraft carrier, and all relevant information was kept in a state of great secrecy.

On the other hand, after the launch of super-battleships in China and Germany, a new era was forced to begin.

Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Russia and other countries have successively increased the construction program of super battleships, at first, Germany was two Bismarck-class, Britain was four King George V-class, the United States was six Iowa-class, France was four Richelieu-class, and Italy was four Veneto-class.

As the countries accelerated, Russia had to increase its plans and decided to build 2 Kursk-class super battleships, a plan that quickly endangered Poland, which began to build 2 Kursk-class ships with the support of China and Germany, Germany was also forced to increase to four, and Britain immediately added four more Stephen-class.

In response to this strong shipbuilding impulse, China also increased the Qingzhou-class super-battleship program to six, and built four more super-battleships for the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Persia, depending on the needs of the two countries.

Even countries that do not build super-battleships have begun to build and purchase new battleships, with Australia and Canada buying from the United Kingdom, and North Korea, the Philippines, Egypt, Mexico, and Chile buying from China.

This increasingly crazy situation has swept the world, and almost no country can avoid it, even if the Nordic countries and South American countries that have declared their external neutrality do not build, they will buy some Dreadnought-class standard battleships from foreign countries as a basic defense force.

The battleships purchased by these countries basically have a unified characteristic, that is, the tonnage is small, the artillery power is strong, China has specially designed a Mata-class super pocket battleship, and the 380mm caliber main gun of 50 times the diameter is installed on the basis of the Valian-class battleship, and the high-speed light bullet is used to effectively reduce the impact force brought by the large caliber and will not affect the balance of the hull.

Due to the large production capacity of China's warships, the traditional strong position of the navy, the integration of supporting facilities, the cost, the high efficiency ratio, the surname can be stable, and the concept of super pocket-sized...... During this period, most countries in Northern Europe and South America were purchasing this kind of Mata-class super pocket battleship.

It is said to be pocket-sized, and the cost is not low, the cost of a single ship is 33.5 million yuan, which is 20% higher than that of the Valian-class battleships, and the cost is the main gun.

Taking advantage of the profit difference from the sale of warships, China's shipyard can raise some money to subsidize the construction of its own navy, which is an important point, especially in the case of the increase in the tonnage of special steel supply, which can greatly reduce the cost of the base.

For a long time, Britain used this method to maintain the British Navy's preferential surname for the purchase of warships, and now it is China's turn to taste this bargain.

In fact, there are still a large number of military expenditures that have not been published in the public opinion, and these military expenditures mainly come from two sources, one is the donation of the consortium itself, and the other is the overseas cashing out of national assets.

Since 1933, the SASAC has begun to cash out assets in Europe and the United States through branches scattered in South America, Northern Europe, Switzerland, and Asia, especially in the United States.

At the lowest point of the US stock market crash, the China International Investment Bank Corporation, a subsidiary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, began to intervene in the United States, Germany and other hard-hit areas on a large scale, investing in land, stocks, bonds, futures, as well as investing in small and medium-sized banks and providing guaranteed financing, etc., to continuously buy overseas assets.

Although this large-scale dipping has accelerated the recovery of the Anglo-American camp, it has also sought a lot of economic benefits.

Eventually, this money will be used for further investment in construction and military spending in the country, and then use the huge military expenditure to build a more powerful military force, provide generous incognito military treatment, and prepare for further national expansion.

This is more mysterious militarism, but it is also a point of no return.

At present, these secret military expenditures are mainly used in Xinjiang Province, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo, and the southwestern region, and the world's largest national defense research centers and training bases have been secretly established, and almost all of the new equipment of the air force and army are concentrated in these places for training.

At Qaidam Air Base, there are more than 3,000 people trained every year, and most of the air force pilots representing the whole country conduct secret exercises and training there.

After all, the core of China's [***] forces is still the army, and the army has 14 training bases with national surnames in areas with different terrain and climatic environments, and every year there are different national exercises and training, and all divisions in the country will send the most potential young officers to participate.

In this kind of exercise, the platoon commander has to learn to be a company commander, and the company commander has to learn to be a battalion commander...... Through this kind of training for temporary promotion, the command ability and overall situation concept of young officers are constantly increased.

The Chinese Navy mainly focuses on the Sulawesi Sea area, the Sakhalin Sea (known as the Okoc Sea in Russia), and the Ryukyu Sea to hold large-scale military exercises, especially in recent years, because the main project often changes to aircraft carrier-centric, the exercises will be very secretive, and the location is constantly changing.

The increase in naval military spending is relatively large, and the new expenditures that can be checked are mainly concentrated in the replacement of equipment in marine divisions, while the construction of aircraft carriers mainly uses stealth military spending to avoid being discovered by enemy intelligence agencies.

With the development of the trend of preparing for war, the domestic National Guard was also reorganized into the National Guard, increasing the scale of training and non-commissioned officers, increasing the replacement of equipment, and implementing a training plan for the National Guard as a quasi-second-line corps.

During this period, the engine of the propeller fighter was increased to 1,100 horsepower, which is 20% higher than the international world average.

Domestic helicopter technology has taken shape, and is undergoing small-scale secret service and testing in the northwest and southwest, and there are also more than a dozen of them in secret naval bases, which are mainly used for reconnaissance work, especially anti-submarine reconnaissance.

Although there was no large-scale installation, helicopter helipads were considered in advance for destroyers, cruisers, and battleships designed and produced after 1925.

Research on the design of helicopter gunships was also accelerating, and the first helicopter gunships were expected to appear in 1935.

Theoretically speaking, the biggest difference between rocket artillery and missiles is whether or not there is guidance equipment, but there are also plans and test projects for installing cheap guidance equipment in domestic large-caliber rocket artillery.

Carrier-based missiles are also being studied, and for this reason, domestic research has begun on new models of Angola-class missile cruisers.

At present, an important task of the State Military Industry Research Institute is to integrate multiple radar systems, effectively increase the monitoring accuracy of radars, form three monitoring systems on the seabed, on the sea surface, and in the air, and use a unified command system to effectively control the entire weapon system.

Relying on the abundant national fiscal revenue and the appreciation of national assets, while the military expansion, the domestic colonial system, especially the construction of overseas provinces, is still being strengthened, and the proportion of national investment and national capital investment in Southeast Asia and the Eurasian Union is still expanding.

The centrist party policies laid down by Hu Chuyuan, through the principle of macroeconomic regulation and control, construction, constantly deepening the construction and upgrading of the national economic system, and constantly increasing the national economic income and industrial support policies under the premise of being conducive to economic development, this series of ideas are still constantly promoting the continued rapid development of China's economy.

Since 1931, China's total GDP has continued to develop at a high rate of no less than 7%, and the country's economy has maintained a balanced development of exports and domestic demand.

International tensions continued, and with the gradual increase of military power, national expansionism began to gain the upper hand in 1935, and in 1936, Chinese Hawaii reached an agreement to join the autonomous state, absorbing the Kingdom of Hawaii as an overseas autonomous state.

After losing this competition, the United States was forced to withdraw its navy from Pearl Harbor, and in the same year, the U.S. Congress passed the Emergency Military Spending Act, which greatly increased the U.S. Navy's military spending and began a full-scale maritime competition with China.

In 1937, China's colonial forces in Africa began to intervene in Central Africa and Chad, and tried to build a railway from Sudan to Libreville.

In 1938, China's garrisons in Yunnan, Afghanistan, and Kashmir increased significantly, and Britain was forced to increase the size of its colonial forces in Burma and India, and made arming Indian colonial troops the core task of maintaining British rights and interests in Asia.

Beginning in 1938, China continued to challenge Britain on the issue of Burma, Malaya, and India, and began to support local armed forces to attack Britain by supporting resistance forces.

At the same time, as its military strength had returned to its pre-World War I size, Germany began to demand that France return Lorraine, Alsace, and the colonies that Germany owned before World War I, and it became more and more assertive, and its own navy gradually surpassed that of France.

In order to further win over Italy and tempt Spain and Portugal, Britain and France gave Ethiopia to Italy, and Libya, which was actually in the hands of China, was nominally recognized as belonging to Italy, and Morocco gave it to Spain, promising that Angola could be returned to Portugal and that the colonies held by China in South America would be owned by the United States.

The United States may not care about China's two overseas provinces of Guiana and Suriname in South America, but it will have to deal more seriously with the rise of Germany and the new crisis across Europe.

The war between the Atlantic Alliance and the Eurasian Alliance has reached a stage where it cannot be avoided.

By this time, the Chinese Navy already had six Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers, and was simultaneously building two Novosibirsk-class aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of 75,000 tons to complement the Fei-7 jets.

Around the Yabinsk-class aircraft carriers, Congo-class cruisers and Valian-class battleships have been extensively refitted, the new Chunwu-class destroyers and Chaoyu-class and Chaoyu-2 class destroyers have also been put into service on a large scale, and the new generation of CV-13, CV-15, and CV-17 submarines have completed the construction of more than 140 ships in China, and in Germany, the model with roughly the same technical data is called the V-103 type submarine, with a total number of more than 100 submarines.

The submarines are equipped with the best submarine engines and radio communications that China has to offer, as well as underwater radar systems and sonar systems, while the torpedoes use radar guidance technology and more accurate customary guidance devices.

The CV-19 submarines, which are specially retained by the Chinese Navy, are equipped with new sound-absorbing tile and explosion-proof outer tile technology, which can evade most of the existing sonar systems and withstand a certain degree of depth charges.

In terms of the total size of battleships, the Chinese Navy has 6 Qingzhou-class super battleships, as well as 8 Yuzhou-class battleships, and 22 Congo-class battleships, ranking first in the world in terms of total battleship tonnage, 233,000 tons higher than the second-place United States.

At the overall level of the Air Force, in addition to having a large number of Fei-5 and the entire improved series of fighters, the Chinese Air Force is also secretly building Fei-7 jet aircraft on a large scale.

In the Army, the Chinese Army has completed the comprehensive replacement of the T-30 main tank series, and on the basis of retaining a large number of TZB-7 and TZB-27 series infantry armored vehicles, it has also updated thousands of TZB-33 series, and the T-302 series and TZB-39 series have also completed the design.

The army aviation unit has completed a comprehensive organization work, and without the support of the air force, the army can also complete such tactical tasks as conventional aerial reconnaissance and small- and medium-scale ground coverage attacks.

Reconnaissance helicopter gunships www.xstxt.orgm aviation machine guns are the main assault weapons.

So, the main task of the WZ-3 was to be responsible for auxiliary attacks and reconnaissance on the ground, as well as to escort Z-8 helicopter transport aircraft, carry out the transfer of small-scale raid units in army aviation units.

The WZ-3HE, a naval shipborne modification of the WZ-3, is ready for service and is only waiting for the final approval of the General Staff of the Navy.

During this period, Germany already had a military force second only to China in the Eurasian Alliance, followed by Poland, Austria, the Ottomans, Ukraine, Persia, Serbia, Korea, Egypt, and Greece.

China and Germany have established African General Staffs in Egypt and Congo, which are solely responsible for commanding the African military zones.

In response, Britain, France and Italy also increased their military strength in Africa, and in order to prevent Germany from attacking Belgium, Britain and the United States also sent more than 200,000 troops in Belgium, and in response, China's garrison in Albania also increased to 330,000.

The German Army has rapidly expanded to 3.4 million men, while the Chinese Army has reached 5.5 million, of which about one-third are stationed in Africa and Mexico.

World War II is no longer a lingering shadow, but a reality.

In 1939, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said...... Afraid that nothing can be solved, we must be brave enough to solve these damn troubles!

Yes.

Hu Chuyuan also thought so.
