The displacement of the Guangxi is only more than 20,000 tons, and China currently has a share of 110,000 tons on the capital ships, which means that China can also build three new battleships, and the average displacement is more than 30,000 tons, and it can even reach 40,000 tons.

As for other countries, it is more miserable, especially Britain, in the First World War, Britain built a large number of battleships, after the Battle of Deland, Britain lost ten battleships before and after, the entire Grand Fleet can be said to be broken, the British themselves are ruthless, a large number of warships are built, and now through the naval arms limitation treaty, Britain wants to dismantle scrapped warships more than retained!

Of course, this may be a good thing for Britain, after all, it still retains the name of the world's first-tier power with the former colony of the United States, but the British fleet is also inevitably aging with the British Empire, and the speed of military and technological progress is very fast, and there will basically be a new generation in five to ten years, and the same is true for the replacement of naval warships!

China retains the right to build new warships in five years, which means that China will build one warship in the future, and now countries will even build two to confront, which is also where the pressure is greatest, and in the face of China's behemoth, there is already a trace of fear in the ruling hierarchy.

I am afraid that one day in the future, there will be a serious change in the strength and weakness of the middle and the middle, which is also the root cause of the fear that although this time he has turned his navy into a second class.

In addition, countries have also made restrictions on the tonnage of aircraft carriers, the United States and Britain are still the first-class, with a total tonnage of 135,000 tons, 105,000 tons, Italy and France have 60,000 tons, and China has 50,000 tons!

According to this tonnage ratio, China can also build two aircraft carriers of more than 20,000 tons, of course, as China's political axe, it will definitely not meet this number, as long as the technology is mature, China will definitely build aircraft carriers on a large scale, and to hell with the restriction treaty.

The issue of naval armaments has been almost dealt with, but the issue of controlling the armament of the army and air force proposed by Yu Ben has been resolutely resisted by Gu Weijun, who explained his views on behalf of the Chinese side.

"First, the land area of each country is different, the number of bordering countries is also different, and the border situation is completely different, so the number of land and air forces of each country cannot be measured; Second, the army is different from the navy, the navy is a simple foreign war, and the army also shoulders the mission of maintaining domestic stability, and the population of each country is completely different, and the area of governance is also different, so it is impossible to come up with a unified standard; The Third Army and Air Force has a large number of equipment, a wide variety of models, and the systems of various countries are also different, and they do not have the comparable surname of the navy at all. ”

Gu Weijun said that these three points are very critical, the national situation is different, the combat mission is also different, the equipment system is different, and it is impossible to do it if you want to restrict, but Gu Weijun continued: "Although our country opposes the restriction of hard surnames, but in line with the principle of being responsible for world peace, we suggest that all countries establish a military transparency mechanism, and all major military expansion operations and major policy changes must be notified to all friendly countries, and the share of military spending in the total economy must also make a general provision. We suggest that the proportion of military spending in peacetime should not exceed 20 percent of the budget, and it is best to control it below 10 percent! ”

Gu Weijun's proposal was quickly appreciated by the United States and Britain and other countries, this is indeed a good way, military transparency can not secretly engage in small actions, but also to avoid strategic miscalculation, in addition to limiting the proportion of military spending can naturally control the scale of a country's military strength, compared to the rigid limit on how many tanks, how many aircraft is much more realistic, so it has been warmly supported by the United States and Britain!

The US media also very much appreciated Gu Weijun's proposal, praising it as a good proposal for the sake of world peace, but this proposal was resolutely opposed by Yu Ben, because at this time, Yu Ben's military spending had already exceeded more than 30 percent of the financial budget, and if China's method was followed, Yue Ben's military spending would have to be cut by more than half, how could this kind of proposal be approved by Yu Ben.

In fact, in the historical Taisho period, due to the increasingly serious division of China, there was no threat to the capital, and the old rival Russia also changed color, and the imaginary enemy of the book became the United States Navy, so the navy became the main development of the military branch, and the first trend of thought in the country is also flooding, and the people of the country have paid too much sacrifice and patience since the Meiji Restoration, so they also want to enjoy life and ask for more, so although the military expenditure of the country has grown rapidly, it still accounts for more than three-and-fives in the financial budgetBut the share of national income has fallen to less than five percent.

It can be said that the progress of the army was slow, and although the army fought very tenaciously in World War II, it also exposed the problem that the equipment could not keep up with the world trend, which had a lot to do with the lack of investment during this period.

In this historical time and space, the situation is completely different, China's strong rise, so that the Yue Ben feel unprecedented pressure, so they urgently need to build a strong army, and the Yue Ben occupies the Far East, although it has gained a lot of benefits, but also dragged the small island country to the road of confrontation with China and Russia.

During the Taisho period, there was no military control as in history, but on the contrary, various taxes were continued to be strengthened, and wealth was taken away from the common people and used to arm the country.

In fact, this situation is also very normal, in the early stage of industrialization, this kind of capital accumulation is very important, and it is also a process that must be passed, but the foundation is too thin, there is too much need to be plundered, and the time is too long, from Meiji to Taisho, there is already serious dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people!

Although the people are also crazy, they are also eager for a real improvement in their living standards, rather than only getting the false name of a strong country as they do now, but the upper echelons of the country are unwilling to stop, and the antagonism between the people and the political axe is becoming more and more serious!

"All the problems boil down to one thing, which is the contradiction between huge ambitions and weak national strength and bad geopolitics!"

Jiang Baili said: "The way of civil and military affairs, one by one, in the past, the people of this country were able to give everything in order to become a strong country, and unreservedly supported the Meiji political axe to start a war with China and Russia, and now the people have felt that this is a strong country, and they can enjoy it, but the reality is that they still need to continue to pay, and the people will naturally be dissatisfied, and this emotion will continue to accumulate, and sooner or later it will become a huge force that will destroy everything in this book!" ”

"Brother Baili is right, this is an island country sandwiched between China, Russia, and the United States, this strategic position is doomed to the end of the tragedy, but now it is still on the rise, and it is not easy to defeat this opponent!"

"Hasn't the prime minister already taken the first step of chess, this time the Washington meeting has actually planted the seeds of a new round of arms race, and this round of arms race is only more powerful than before, but the navy, land and air force will launch it together!"

Jiang Baili just said that Qiao Yu was most proud, this time China got the share of the navy, according to the surname of Yueben, China built one, I am afraid that they will build two, in other words, as long as China completes the accumulation of military technology, the results of the Washington Conference will become a dead letter, and China will drag Yueben into the arms race of no return.

As for Gu Weijun's idea of military transparency and limiting the proportion of military spending in the fiscal budget this time, it was not realized due to the resolute opposition of Yu Ben, but all countries have also reached a consensus, that is, to regularly report on military development plans to avoid falling into an arms race due to strategic miscalculation!

Of course, in addition to the most important naval issue, the issue of China is also one of the main contents of the Washington Conference, China strongly demands the abolition of all the privileges of various countries in China, the realization of China's complete reading power, the abolition of the public concessions in Tianjin and Shanghai, in order to cooperate with Gu Weijun's negotiations in Washington, China's armed forces have carried out a series of exercises, mainly to demonstrate to the foreign powers, China's attitude has been very clear, whether you agree or not, China will take back these rights.

The difference is whether it is peace or war, and the great powers are also very clear at this time that if there is a peaceful handover, their investment in China can still be ensured, otherwise they will be violently seized by China, and then there will be nothing, and at this time it is impossible for them to form any eight-nation alliance again!

After a fierce confrontation, China finally regained all its power and signed the Nine-Power Pact with the United States, Britain, France, and Italy, plus the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal, completely announcing the complete end of the privileges of the great powers in China, and thus China has completely become a country that has completely read power!

The Washington Conference transformed China from a public colony to one of the world's six great powers, and the morale of the people was unprecedentedly high, ushering in a new chapter in China's national development.

"Prime Minister, now the heat is almost the same, you just need to climb high now, and you will be able to become the president immediately!" Yang Du said with a smile: "Xu Shichang already has the intention of abdicating and making way for Xian, and now it all depends on the mind of the prime minister!" ”

Qiao Yu naturally knows Xu Shichang's plan, the old man has also sat on the throne of the president for more than two years, China has undergone major changes in the past two years, the domestic economic situation has improved, and the international status has also improved rapidly, although these things have nothing to do with Xu Shichang, but as the president, he can naturally get a share of the glory, Xu Shichang feels that it is almost over, or quickly abdicate and make way for Xian, so as not to let the family rush himself!

"Mr. Huizi, don't be too anxious, I'm going to wait until the land reform is completely completed, first hold local elections, wait until the foundation is solid, and then it will come naturally, but we can't just look at the benefits now, not the dangers!"

"Danger? What is the Prime Minister referring to? ”

"According to reliable intelligence, Ben has reached a secret agreement with the United States and Britain, mainly to limit emerging countries and avoid the proliferation of important military technology, and the spearhead is directly aimed at China!"

Yang Du's brows also furrowed, "China has a vast territory, a large population, rich resources, and its potential is indeed much stronger than that of the previous one, and the great powers absolutely do not want to see China become strong, and it is very normal to carry out a technological blockade!" ”
