It takes a long time for a technology to enter large-scale industrial production from the beginning of research, especially now there is still a huge gap compared to the information age of later generations, even if it has Qiao Yu's foresight, but it took seven or eight years, and it may take one or two years to fully realize large-scale industrial production, and it will take ten years before and after.

It seems that the time is very long, but Qiao Yu is also very clear about the value of the top blowing method, which is a cross-era invention that completely changed the steel industry, from then on steel production will become much easier, the energy consumption will be greatly reduced, and the scale of investment will also be greatly reduced, in addition, the top blowing method can be suitable for iron ore with more impurities, which is especially important for China, you must know that although China also has a lot of iron ore.

But almost all of them are impurities, low-grade poor ores, in the process of smelting consumes more, Jiang Baili heard Qiao Yu introduce this technology, he also seemed very excited, he knew too well what the war competition in the industrial age was.

To put it bluntly, there are two things, steel and oil, only steel can build enough tanks and warships, with oil can make these war machines work, the rest is how much to compete, China's population has an overwhelming advantage over all countries, and then there is an industrial capacity that can be compared to the great powers, Jiang Baili is confident that he can rely on his strength to pile up, and he can also consume the opponent to death!

"President, with such good technology, if it had been developed a few years earlier, we would have been able to get more benefits!"

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes, "Brother Baili, do you think technological innovation is so easy, our foundation is so thin, we have to start everything from scratch, and now it is good to be able to make it, but there are still many problems to be solved!" ”

Oxygen top blowing converter steelmaking is a technology developed after World War II, and if this technology appeared before World War II, it would definitely become a decisive technology that affected the war situation, and you must know that it is among the criteria for measuring the strength of the war potential in World War II. Steel production is one of the most important.

In fact, Qiao Yu is also clear about the characteristics of this technology. The top blowing method is very good, but there is an important problem, that is, the problem of control, when to blow oxygen, what kind of intensity to use, what angle to take, these are all issues to consider, and even in the process of steelmaking, it is necessary to constantly revise and change.

After World War II, computers were born. CNC machine tools have also been produced, with these things, in order to control the top blowing method to the degree of precision, now without these, obviously the top blowing method can not fully exert its own power, but it is too troublesome to get out of the computer.

We can only wait for the further accumulation of China's technological level. In fact, ten years ago, Qiao Yu did not expect that China's industry could develop so fast, and now China's major industrial products can be self-sufficient, and only a few heavy equipment still need to be imported, but with China's development speed, it will soon be able to make a breakthrough.

We must believe in the wisdom of the Chinese, what foreigners can make, there is no reason for the Chinese to do it badly, you must know that everyone has the same IQ. With the advantage of the Chinese population. China will also have the most geniuses in the world, as long as these talents can be discovered. There is no reason for China to lag behind!

"President, I now believe more and more in China's creative ability, as long as time is given, China will definitely be able to return to the center of the world, but I think if China wants to become strong, it must prove itself with war, and only by defeating a great power can China really rise!"

Jiang Baili said that it is also a consensus of the military, not only Jiang Baili, but even Wu Tong, Zhang Xiaohuai and others are also this point of view, counting China has clashed with many major powers since World War I, Germany, Britain, Japan, Russia, France, and China have fought in a circle.

But these wars are either border conflicts, or they are fought by China in partnership with other countries, or by proxy, and China itself is not really fighting a single power alone.

Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, France swept through Europe in the Napoleonic era, Germany won the Franco-Prussian War, the United States singled out Spain, and Japan climbed to the position of a great power by stepping on the corpses of the Manchus and Russia.

The world is so big, there are only a few countries that can dominate international affairs, if you want to control the fate of others, you have to tell the world through the bloody reality that you are stronger than the other party, this is the law of the jungle!

"Brother Baili, which country do you think is suitable?"

"President, I think there are three countries to choose from, the first is the Netherlands, the Netherlands is also a declining power, they now control the Dutch East Indies, which is a rich land, and the Netherlands is weak, we can follow the example of the Americans in the Spanish-American War, and turn the Dutch East Indies into Chinese territory, so that China can open up the sea from the south and win a broad space for development, and the Netherlands is very weak and easy to deal with.

The second is France, and now that we have started negotiations with France in Geneva, we can put forward some demands that go beyond the limits of the French, force France to continue the war with us, take the whole Indochina Peninsula into our hands, and even point the sword at India, whether it is Britain or France, it is a declining country, we have no need to worry at all.

As for the third plan, it is Japan, which is also China's most vicious and powerful enemy at present, and the war between China and Japan is different from other wars for colonies, once the war between our two sides starts, it will be an endless battle between the two nations, and it will not end until one side completely falls, and this is also the only way for China to establish hegemony in Asia! ”

Qiao Yu listened carefully to Jiang Baili's three plans, in fact, there were not many surprises in these plans, China had already set a strategy of going south and going east.

The north of China is extremely cold Siberia, where there is not a lot of buried wealth, but it is more difficult to develop, and it has to face the powerful Soviet Union, while the west has to climb the next door to the plateau, and transportation is the biggest constraint, leaving only the southeast and southeast directions to expand power.

That is, Japan and Nanyang, Jiang Baili said it at this time, in fact, it also shows that the military has been brewing for a long time, and Qiao Yu has also been thinking about this question, who should be the right direction of China's war.

"Brother Baili, according to my observation, it is only a matter of time before the decline of European colonial power, and the South China Sea is an island terrain, and we cannot effectively control it without a strong navy, in other words, once we have a strong navy. Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries are not a problem at all. Even if they want to work hard, as long as they mobilize troops and horses for thousands of miles, they can't afford it at all, and there is only one war we have to fight, and that is the war between China and Japan. There has to be a reckoning, and I think it's better to play late than early, and of course it's not too late, it's better after we have completed two five-year plans! ”

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival. Don't go unnoticed!

Our ancestors taught the Chinese thousands of years ago, and there are many more things to consider in today's wars than in the past, and the things that need to be planned are also in all aspects, not only knowing oneself, but also knowing the other, not only making military preparations, but also making comprehensive economic preparations.

How to destroy the strength of the other party, how to save yourself. How to shift the economic system from peacetime to wartime. Each of these takes a lot of effort, for modern warfare. Often, the outcome is decided before the war begins, and whoever is well prepared will be able to win.

Qiao Yu advocated that this is the reason for the war against Japan after the completion of the Second Five-Year Plan, by that time China's industrial capacity will comprehensively overpower the Japanese, although the sea power cannot surpass Japan, but there is no problem with self-preservation, and the intelligence work can also be fully prepared, and at that time, the war will obviously have a greater chance of victory!

"President, I think Japan will inevitably take us as the first imaginary enemy, the timetable for war is not completely controlled in China's hands, Japan can also choose war, the time is on our side, the longer it drags on, the greater the gap between China and Japan, I mean China will continue to show its strength from now on, which can not only deter Japan, so that they dare not go to war easily, but also can drag the Japanese into an arms race, and eventually drag down the small island country!"

"Brother Baili's idea is very good, you are responsible for the specific operation!"

Jiang Baili had already prepared in this regard, and the General Staff Department had more than one set of plans, since Qiao Yu agreed, Jiang Baili quickly sorted out the plan, and then people from all walks of life in the Chinese military and government frequently came out to speak.

All the meanings can be summed up in two words: expand the army!

In terms of the army, Zhang Zuolin took the lead in firing artillery, demanding that China should expand the number of land forces to more than three million, Lao Zhang's statement is also very grounded, Britain, France, Japan and other countries have a population of only tens of millions, but there are hundreds of thousands of land forces, according to the proportion of the population, it is definitely higher than one percent, and China has a population of more than 400 million, three million troops are not much at all, in addition, Lao Zhang also asked for a comprehensive update of equipment!

When the army came out to speak, the air force would not be idle, and Air Force Commander Wang Yue also demanded that the air force's combat aircraft be increased to 3,000.

In fact, the most eye-catching thing is the expansion plan of the Chinese navy, after all, in this era of sea power, the navy is the thing that most affects the minds of the great powers.

China's plan to build two battleships and two aircraft carriers in the next five years to enrich China's navy is a huge stimulus for other countries.

Among them, the strongest reflection is Japan, according to Washington's distribution ratio, China has a share of 13,500 tons of battleships, China now has a warship rebuild, and it is normal to build two more, but Japan has received reliable information, China's warships are a generation of production, a generation of design, and a generation of pre-research, in fact, China has begun to draw drawings of the third generation of battleships, and China will definitely not be satisfied with the existing scale.

This is especially true on the issue of aircraft carriers, China originally had a share of 50,000 tons, but now China already has the starting point, and there are two aircraft carriers of less than 10,000 tons, and if two more are built, it will be completely exceeded.

However, China also gave an explanation, that is, China's modified warships are relatively old, do not meet the needs of modern warfare, if the new ships are built, the old ships will definitely be scrapped, China is a responsible country, will never violate international obligations, of course, will not give up the pursuit of sea power, Qinzhou shipyard secrecy level has increased several times.

China has put on an attitude that whether you agree or not, I will expand its navy, the ball has been kicked to other countries, you can see what to do, whether you believe that China will keep its promise, or start to expand its armaments, it is all up to the judgment of other countries!
