In his heyday, Napoleon tried to attack Britain's maritime supremacy and build a fleet, but he was defeated in the Battle of Trafalgar, which fulfilled the prestige of the British naval admiral Nelson and gave the British a firm grip on the sea.

In the early years of World War I, Germany's industrial strength grew rapidly, it had the qualification to challenge Britain, and set off a naval arms race, after the end of World War I, the United States and Japan also participated in the new competition, in the original history, the period between World War I and World War II was called the naval holiday, due to the restrictions of the Washington Treaty, the momentum of the arms race was finally contained.

However, now because of China's participation, the navy has not only not entered the holiday, but has entered a new round of peaks, especially the countries have seen the shortcomings of the battleships, although it is not necessarily necessary to completely abandon the battleships, but the countries must strengthen the strength of naval aviation, in fact, the United States has begun to act, the Senate and the House of Representatives approved the United States to build three Yorktown-class aircraft carriers.

Originally, this class of aircraft carriers had to be officially built when Roosevelt took office, but now it is seven years earlier than history, in addition to aircraft carriers, the United States is also beginning to study the problem of battleships, China sank a total of three huge ships in the naval battle with Japan, including the sinking of the Mutsu in the operation, the Guangxi battleship was also involved, so many battleship factions insisted that the two warships should be used together, the aircraft carrier as a long-range attack firepower, and the battleship as the final firepower to destroy.

Of course, the specific development direction of the Navy needs to be discussed in more detail, but the United States can't wait to start preparing for operations, designing new carrier-based aircraft, training pilots, and researching new tactics!

The United States is the world's No. 1 industrial country, and the United States has started the pace of naval expansion, and Britain has no choice but to grit its teeth to keep up and start the corresponding work, and the United States and Britain have begun to move. France and Italy are to follow. Italy, in particular, had fallen into the hands of Mussolini at this time.

As soon as the dictator with the entire Mediterranean in his belly came to power, he began to strengthen his armaments, trying to improve Italy's international status, and he would not lag behind in the matter of expanding the armament war, clamoring to strengthen the Italian navy, and the Soviet Union also formulated corresponding plans, and the five-year plan of the Red Empire was also implemented very smoothly, and the national strength was constantly improving.

Russia holds the largest territory in the world. However, the pursuit of the sea has not stopped for a moment, adhering to the legacy of Peter the Great, successive tsars have devoted themselves to seizing access to the sea, and the Russian October Revolution began with the cannon sound of the Aurora, it can be said that from the moment of birth, the Red Empire maintained a strong interest in the sea.

With the accession of Russia. The major countries of the world are involved in it, a new arms race is just around the corner, and the terrifying arms race before World War I is still vividly in our minds, and whether this arms race will eventually evolve into a new round of world war, the Western media have begun to use the prelude to World War II to call the signs of this round of arms race.

Almost everyone has their eyes on the Palais des Nations in Geneva, where a conference on the fate of the world is about to be held, where the Geneva Conference on the Reduction of Naval Armaments will be held, the United States, Britain and France. Meaning. Japan, all the six major powers of China participated. In addition, the Soviet Union also sent a special representative to attend the meeting.

The most eye-catching in this meeting is China, when in the Washington Conference China was only the bottom of the six major powers, and the share was only on paper, the entire navy was only two old German ships, and in four or five years, China has relied on its own strength to defeat Japan, which was originally located in the third place in the world, and has become the largest naval power in the Far East, and at this time China also has the most powerful naval aviation.

And to a certain extent, China is also the fuse of this arms race, as a representative of China, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun has received unprecedented attention, and it can even be said that no Chinese official in history can be so valued, ten years ago China was still a piece of fat in the eyes of the great powers, let people eat meat, now China has become an important international force, this huge change makes Gu Weijun also very excited, but he has long been able to be happy and angry!

In fact, it is not enough to control your emotions, but also to use your emotions to perform various performances and mislead your opponents as much as possible, so it is only a primary requirement to be happy and angry.

As soon as he arrived in Geneva, a large number of European and American journalists surrounded him, hoping to get China's views on arms reduction.

Gu Weijun also expressed his views very frankly: "China is a peace-loving country, the purpose of developing military strength is to maintain its own security, but also to maintain regional security, and then affect the whole world, we have experienced a cruel world war, maintaining world peace is the common mission of all countries, no one wants to fight, and there is no desire for war, I think all arms races are a problem of poor communication, the most important thing for all countries is to sit together, listen to the voices and demands of all parties, Deal with disputes as fairly as possible and prevent new wars! ”

"Mr. Foreign Minister, China has just ended a war against Japan, is this something that a peace-loving country should do?" A British journalist immediately asked a very harsh question.

The expression on Gu Weijun's face did not change, but continued: "There is an old Chinese saying that the incorruptible are not subject to food! The peace that China pursues does not come by anyone's handouts, but by its own strength, and Japan's invasion and occupation of China's territory has seriously damaged China's sovereignty. Here I would like to emphasize that if Western politicians really want permanent peace, they should first treat every country and every nation equally, and all countries, whether strong or weak, and all nationalities, regardless of size, should be equal. Abandoning colonialism and stopping plundering other countries is the foundation of true peace! ”

Looking at the wars in the West, almost all of them are for colonial interests, and everyone wants to colonize the whole world and deprive the whole world. Everyone is eager to take an extra bite. In fact, in the eyes of these Western powers, they did not regard other nations as human beings at all, they were just fish and meat, but the world made people, and these high-ranking Westerners broke out into two world wars, which became the best punishment for their ambitions.

Gu Weijun came out to bombard colonialism at this time, which was tantamount to aiming his guns at Britain and France, and everyone immediately felt a trace of pressure. Perhaps this meeting was more difficult than expected.

"President, now the Western media are criticizing China, saying that Minister Gu has had a very bad impact on the meeting and seriously affected the unity of all countries!"

"Don't worry about them, the negotiation is a momentum, we must take the lead. Can't weaken the momentum, Minister Gu played beautifully! ”

"President, you are not afraid that you will not be able to talk about it, and in the end it will turn into a global arms race, and now China's industrial strength is much weaker than that of the United States and European countries, and it can't fight at all!"

"Brother Baili, you are pretending to be confused, China does not want to go to the door of the United States and Europe to fight with them at the moment. It's in the Far East. At your own doorstep, you don't even want to go to war with China without more than three times the superior forces! ”

Later China was blocked by the so-called island chain. The road to the sea is extremely difficult, in fact, the geography of East Asia can also be looked at the other way around, if these islands are in the hands of the enemy, they are naturally chains, if they are in the hands of China, they are a series of unsinkable aircraft carriers, which can become the most reliable defenders.

Now that China has taken over the Ryukyu Islands, the door of the East China Sea has been closed, and there is only one gate left in the South China Sea, and as long as the door of the South China Sea is installed again, China's national defense situation will undergo tremendous changes, and the geographical advantages of East Asia will be firmly in China's hands.

Trying to break through the restrictions at sea and then attack China's mainland is basically a fool's dream, relatively speaking, China can maintain the security of the country with relatively little effort, while Europe and the United States are not, they are still too close after all!

"As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, wars are provoked first by poor people, and now the economic situation of the United States, Britain, and other countries is good, and they are used to living a good life, and no one wants to live in the earth-shattering artillery fire all day long. The situation in the country that I am worried about now is that the adjustment of this political region is not a trivial matter, and all sides have their own interests and demands, like a mess! ”

In addition, northern Burma, outer northeastern, Taiwan, Ryukyu and other newly included territories are still under military control, and no final demarcation of administrative regions has been made.

After a period of brewing, Qiao Yu took the lead in merging Rehe into Fengtian, and officially changed the name of Fengtian Province to Liaoning Province, and the provincial capital Fengtiancheng was renamed Shenyang, and the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang were also adjusted, dividing the area east of the Ussuri River into two, the south into Jilin, the north into Heilongjiang, and the new establishment of Liaodong Province in the outer northeast.

In this way, the three eastern provinces became the four eastern provinces, and each province had its own outlet to the sea, and through the railway line, it could also use the ports in the north of Korea, so that the situation was completely opened for the further development of the northeast, and the black soil was bound to become the main economic growth center of China.

After adjusting the Northeast, Qiao Yu focused on Taiwan and the Ryukyus, which is also the most controversial issue, many people advocated that Taiwan should be established as a separate province, but Qiao Yu finally tried to override public opinion, and included the island of Taiwan into Fujian Province, together with the Penghu Islands, to form Taiwan Peng City, Taipei as the administrative center.

"President, some troubles are also found by yourself, Taiwan actually has the conditions for independent province, the population is not small, and the economic development is relatively good under the governance of Japan, if the province is established, it can also reflect the importance of the local area, everything is logical!"

"Brother Baili, Taiwan itself is just a part of the cultural circle of southern Fujian, and although it is much more convenient to establish an independent province, it will also cause countless troubles, what Taiwan needs most is to correct its position!" (To be continued.) )
