More and more new technologies, new processes are enriched into China's industrial system, the whole system is becoming more and more perfect, although there is still a certain gap between the whole and the major industrial countries, but this gap is rapidly narrowing, in the competition of national strength, China's scale advantage is also highlighted, and the world's industrial pattern is also in the rapid reversal.

This trend of reversal of national strength has been foreseen by some Western economists, who have published a large number of articles pointing out the threat of China, and there is a current of thought surging throughout the Western world, believing that the next world war will most likely be between China and the Western world, and that Western countries should unite for the sake of God and fellow whites to jointly deal with China's rise.

The governments of the United States and Britain and other countries are also exaggerating the threat of China, but this is actually just a pretense, the most important thing is that they hope that the military industrial enterprises will operate, the crisis continues to deepen, all countries are looking for a way out, and many politicians have also found that the West wants to reflect and change from within, but it has always been that domestic reform involves the interests of all aspects, and it is too difficult to adjust.

Since we don't have the courage to reform internally, we can only point the spearhead at the outside, use China as a target, preach China's threat, and then take the opportunity to expand our armaments, especially our naval forces.

So a naval race had begun with great fanfare, and the United States had begun construction of two larger aircraft carriers while four Yorktown-class aircraft carriers had been built, in addition to other auxiliary ships, and the United States had also built two large battleships.

Britain also gritted its teeth to follow up, and the two countries had the same share of shipbuilding, and the United States took action, and Britain could not sit idly by, and Japan, which had just occupied Borneo, continued to improve its financial situation. A new shipbuilding bill was also announced. They started the construction of two aircraft carriers, which they named the Soryu and the Wyvern.

Japan's plan to rebuild the Combined Fleet was expected by China, in fact, when it decided to support Japan's occupation of Borneo, it had already taken into account that Japan would take advantage of this opportunity to rebuild its navy after all, and it was very clear to the crazy Chinese upper echelons of the island country, especially Emperor Hirohito, who was also a complete aggressive maniac.

The defeat in the Sino-Japanese War did not discourage the Japanese upper echelons from wanting to expand, but only weakened their power. It had to stop, and after the successful attack on Borneo, Japan suddenly realized that the white people who were originally high above were actually the most vulnerable, and they were not as strong as they imagined, especially the Netherlands, an unpopular country, which occupied the fertile Malay Archipelago for nothing. But it is vulnerable, how can such a country still deserve such good land.

From Borneo to the east, there is Sulawesi, the second largest island in the world, New Guinea, to the west, Sumatra, and countless small islands in between, all of which are under a tropical rainforest climate, as long as they are developed. It's the big granary. For example, Sumatra occupies half of the Strait of Malacca and is a first-class strategic location.

If all of these regions can be brought under Japan's control. At least able to feed a population of more than 100 million, the conditions are far better than in Japan itself, a country that has always had amazing ambitions and huge appetites, and Borneo has not yet been developed, and they have developed a plan to fully colonize the Dutch East Indies.

Of course, in order to realize this ambition, it is necessary to have sufficient strength, especially a strong naval force, and the Japanese Government has long drawn up a plan for the 88th Fleet, and Japan hopes to build a huge ocean-going fleet with eight battleships and eight cruisers; if Japan's plan is really realized, it will need 600 million yen a year to maintain this fleet, which is equivalent to about one-third of Japan's fiscal revenue.

This is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and later after the Washington Conference, the crazy plan of the Japanese Navy was finally curtailed, but in the Sino-Japanese War, Japan's main warships were sunk one after another, and the idea of the 88th Fleet was completely wiped out, this time Japan regained the plan of the 88th Fleet Fleet, this time Japan's plan is to build eight large aircraft carriers and eight small aircraft carriers within 20 years to form an ocean-going fleet with aircraft carrier forces as the core, in addition, Japan is also preparing to build two super battleships, They want to reassert Japan's maritime supremacy with a huge newly built navy.

Japan's naval reconstruction plan is aimed at both the colonial powers of the United States and Britain and China, and because of the distance, the threat to China is more direct and sensitive.

Of course, the Chinese Navy can not lag behind, but also build warships, with the launch of the Zhenyuan, China started to build three follow-up models, namely Dingyuan, Zhiyuan, Laiyuan.

The tonnage of these three aircraft carriers is more than 30,000 tons, and at the same time, China is designing the next supercarrier, with a tonnage of more than 40,000 tons and a full load displacement of nearly 50,000 tons.

It can be said that from the day when countries started to build aircraft carriers, the original naval arms restrictions have become a dead letter, and all countries are seeking to break through the arms limitation treaty, but everyone has maintained peace on face, and China has not blatantly broken the agreement, but stated that China will retire the starting point when all three aircraft carriers are completed, so as to keep the total tonnage within the treaty limits.

Britain has long learned about China's tricks, and if China buys the so-called retired aircraft carrier to Siam under the banner of arms sales, it will not be equivalent to putting money from the left hand to the right hand, and what is the value of this kind of retirement!

In order to prevent this from happening, Britain and the United States put pressure on China, asking China to guarantee that it will never talk about the sale of decommissioned warships, and China happily agreed to Britain's request, after all, Siam's poor financial situation can no longer withstand the pressure of the second aircraft carrier, and China's aircraft carrier will definitely be sold at a higher price, Qiao Yu has a new plan at this time.

The rapid expansion of the German Nazi Party has shown hope of winning the election, as long as Germany is rearmed, the aircraft carrier is definitely the mustache's dream of a sharp weapon at sea, and there is hope for what technology China wants to exchange at that time.

Don't look at Germany's world-class military technology, but it is not so easy to build an aircraft carrier platform, there must be enough time to explore experience, China has spent nearly ten years since the beginning of the modification of aircraft carriers, to have today's scale, and Germany from the mustache in power, to the outbreak of World War II before and after six or seven years, so in the original history of Germany only built in addition to the Bismarck, which has been backward in technology battleships, aircraft carriers have not appeared for a long time.

In the end, the sea still relies on submarines to prop up the façade. China's starting point is a big gift package for Germany. Presumably, Nazi Germany must have been even more hideous.

The unprecedented economic crisis has profoundly changed the strategic pattern of all countries in the world, and all countries have inevitably embarked on the road of military expansion.

Of course, in addition to these long-term considerations, the Chinese government has one more big issue to deal with, and that is Hong Kong. When China and Britain reached a five-year agreement to return Hong Kong, Britain wanted to use these five years to lead Hong Kong astray, and when China took back Hong Kong, it would be in trouble.

Changing the policies implemented by Britain will offend the local people, and if they are not changed, it will cause a huge financial burden, and the British are worthy of being an old world hegemon, and there is really enough bad water in their stomachs. However, the economic crisis was not calculated by all calculations.

Originally, the British government in Hong Kong relied on borrowing to build infrastructure and improve welfare in an all-round way, and originally wanted to leave the burden to the Chinese after five years, but it backfired, due to the outbreak of the Great Depression, the British did not maintain it for five years at all, and the capital chain was quickly broken.

The whole of Hong Kong is full of unfinished projects, and the government is in debt. All the benefits promised were only partially distributed, and they could not be maintained. Not only will it not be sustainable, but Hong Kong and Britain will also have to cut the original fiscal expenditure. and raise tax rates to fill the fiscal gap.

What was originally a project to buy the hearts and minds of the people showed its original form in an instant, but it made the people of Hong Kong miserable and complained, and the wave of strikes and protests became fierce again, and the Chinese government also took the opportunity to intervene at this time to put pressure on the British government.

China and Britain have a treaty, but the British have no right to make Hong Kong a misery for the people, and China has reason to demand compensation from the British side to maintain Hong Kong's basic stability and prosperity for the reckless acts of the British government in Hong Kong, and China does not recognize all the debt problems caused by the British government in Hong Kong, and Britain is responsible for everything!

China's hand is very hot, and it suddenly pushed the British to an embarrassing point, which was supposed to be a big pit dug for the Chinese, but the pit was not dug yet, but it fell down, and the British Empire lost its face, and all the inside and face were lost.

Britain has the intention to rely on the debt, but this has a huge impact on the country's credit, and the government cannot afford to pay the debt, especially for the land that is about to fall into the hands of the Chinese to spend British taxpayers' money, which cannot be passed in the country in the first place.

Hong Kong quickly became a sore foot for the British, left and right, dilemma, to this point the Chinese government also felt that the heat was almost over, and proposed to Britain in exchange, Britain in advance Hong Kong for China, and the Hong Kong assets under their control were handed over, and China could take over the debt problem.

Now, Britain has no choice but to pinch its nose and agree to China's conditions, and Hong Kong, a land that has been separated from the motherland for more than 80 years, has finally returned to China's control.

For this last recovered land, China attaches great importance to it, the golden ou is complete, China has completely bid farewell to the old era, and the things imposed on China by a hundred years of humiliation have finally been wiped out.

At the same time, China's navy and army were officially stationed in Hong Kong, and the navy also sent an aircraft carrier squadron with the Zhenyuan as the core to Victoria Harbor to participate in this grand ceremony of national celebration.

Of course, soon Victoria Harbour will also become a historical term, this natural deep-water harbor was officially renamed Ninggang, symbolizing the end of Hong Kong's colonial destiny, from now on the meaning of eternal peace, the British flag slowly fell, and China's five-color flag is slowly rising, the alternation of the two flags also seems to indicate the decline of the British Empire and the rise of the eastern powers, the last defect on the Chinese map is also better than to make up, since then the golden Ou is forever!
