At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Shao did not speak, but directly put the information from the spy on the conference table and let them all take a look.

The people who came to the meeting were all veterans of the People's Army, except for Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, who were still managing the construction corps in the northwest, and other high-ranking generals were present.

At present, the People's Army has more than 500,000 active-duty army units, and excluding the Construction Corps, the entire southwest region has nearly one million police, armed police, and reserve corps. The police and armed police have nothing to say.

Reserve Chen Shao has always recruited as many active troops as he wants, and the army can be doubled in one expansion. After more than ten years of construction, many veterans have retired one after another, waiting for Chen Shao's convening order, and retired veterans are also a force to be reckoned with.

The size of the Guards has not changed, and Chen Shao does not want to change the Guards now.

There are eight corps in active service of the army, one armored corps, one heavy artillery corps.

The Air Force currently has one bomber wing, two fighter wings, and one transport aircraft wing.

The paratroopers are now at full strength in one division.

The Marine Corps was expanded by one division.

The number of ships in the Navy has not increased much, but the quality has improved a lot. The 100-year navy is not only about the quality and quantity of warships, but also about your ship-building technology and the crew who operate these warships. Chen Shao is concerned about this, except for cargo ships, there has been no large-scale construction of warships in recent years, and warships are enough for soldiers to train and use. Everything he did was to increase the national heritage, and with a strong industrial backing, he could occupy an advantageous position in the game with countries around the world in the future. Now with the help of the Red Police Base, Chen Shao's greatest wish is to completely blow up the United States, trample the United States hard, and make China the world's first industrial power. At this time, the southwest already had the foundation of an industrial power, and Chen Shao's next step was to expand this foundation and increase and improve the industrial scale. Chen Shao's plan is to use another decade of industrial development to compete with the United States.

At present, the southwest has surpassed Japan and Germany to become the fourth industrial country after the United States, Britain and France. However, the current southwest and the Soviet Union, belongs to low-key development, its strength is difficult to be known by the world, now there is no southwest and the Soviet Union on the industrial ranking, the top five are: the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan. One thing that is different from the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Union is completely closed and develops in a completely closed environment, and there is no data at all to the outside world.

Chen Shao took advantage of James's identity to cover, and the products produced were all in English except for a golden dragon mark. When asked by outsiders why his company had a Chinese name and a Chinese Shenlong trademark, and why he wanted to build a factory in China, James replied: I like that ancient country, I like their culture, and I like the simple Chinese farmers, not the copper-smelling Americans.

Britain and the United States and Nanjing have always been inseparable, although there are some opinions on Longteng Group's support for a medium-sized valve, but there is not much so-called. At this time, China's position in the West is pitifully small. Except for blindly dumping products in China, I don't care much at all. Supporting the warlords is also only to maintain their own interests. At this time, China, like Africa in later generations, was not a threat at all in the eyes of all countries. If you say that Africa will become the center of the world in the future, and you and the United States will stand aside for me, then I guess the whole world will use it as a joke. Unless the kind of "2012 Armageddon" happens, Africa will have a chance, but now that December 21 is over, who will be the bird.

Based on this kind of heart, Chen Shao can develop with such peace of mind, but if the world can understand Chen Shao's words, it must be Germany. In the First World War, Chen Shao gave Germany a lot of support, although it was defeated later, but the German side did not disclose this matter, the interests were unevenly distributed, and in the face of France's resolute sanctions, Germany needed a future friend. The world pattern has been determined, although it cannot find a strong ally, but Germany has taken a fancy to Chen Shao's potential stock, and the two sides have been secretly in contact, and many of Chen Shao's technicians are recruited from Germany when Germany was defeated. Germany welcomed this, as Germany had just lost and unemployment was high, and Chen Shao's move was seen as a way to help Germany cope with its predicament.

When Chen Shao rose unstoppably, although some countries regretted their previous carelessness, it was too late to regret it.

In 1925, the industry in the southwest accelerated the renewal of equipment, vigorously adopted new technologies such as automatic conveyors, and implemented standardized mass production, and at the same time, due to the development of scientific management and the rapid development of scientific research work, labor productivity increased, and the productivity of each worker almost doubled. Taking advantage of the fact that the post-war economies of European countries have not yet recovered and their financial dependence on the United States, they use the cover of the United States to seize new foreign markets. At the same time, the method of selling on credit by installments was adopted in China to expand the consumer market.

In 1925, nearly 150,000 cars of various kinds were produced in the southwest alone, and all the cars were shipped abroad except for a small amount of domestic sales. It has become a high-end model in various countries and is highly sought after. Last year, there was a more attractive sports car appeared on the market, the Weilong gun car, the low body, the beautiful shape, the domineering model, the powerful power, the super fast speed, for a time was ranked in the forefront of the world's luxury list, becoming a symbol of strength and money, the rich are proud to own a Weilong sports car.

――――――――――――

After Jiang Baili and the others finished reading it, they all became angry, and Chen Shao didn't say anything.

He stood up and clapped his hands.

At this time, Wang Jie stood up and opened the door of the conference room, and several soldiers came in with some equipment, although everyone was a little curious, but they did not move.

A few soldiers picked up a few black cloths, sealed several windows, and two soldiers hung a large cloth directly on the map on the wall.

At this time, everyone knew that this was going to show movies, and now there have been movies in the southwest for a long time, but they are concentrated in major cities, and occasionally they will be shown in towns and villages.

It's just that this is the first time that a movie has been shown at a military meeting, which also makes Cai Ye and others a little baffled.

When all the equipment was installed, one of the fighters was left playing the movie, and the rest of the battles were out, the lights were turned off, the door to the conference room was closed, and the whole conference room was plunged into darkness.

Chen Shao held a baton and stood next to the screen, before the movie started, Chen Shao spoke first:

"Before the start of the military meeting, I will show you a documentary, this information is collected by our intelligence department through several years of hard work, this is a documentary, this film will not be released to the public for the time being, pay attention to the confidentiality regulations."

As soon as Chen Shao's voice fell, the movie began, and the dubbing sounded.

"In the east of the Asian continent, there is a rich and beautiful land, on which the Chinese nation with an ancient history and civilization flourishes. The industrious, simple and kind-hearted Chinese nation has created a splendid Chinese civilization and countless spiritual and material wealth in the long history of 5,000 years. However, since the Opium War in 1840, the imperialist countries of the world have knocked on the door of this ancient country with their strong ships and cannons, and since then, the Chinese nation has fallen into shame and disaster for nearly a century. Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and other Western capitalist powers are rampant on the land of China, and they are trampling on our suffering land and plundering our wealth and resources. These imperialist countries used their military power to force the corrupt and defeated Manchu government to sign a series of traitorous treaties that humiliated the country, not to mention the payment of land reparations, and the establishment of many concessions on the land of China. In Beiping, in Tianjin, in Shanghai, in Wuhan, in Guangzhou, everywhere were the flags of the imperialist powers. ”

The film's shots are sometimes dense northeast forests, sometimes beautiful southern scenery, sometimes British and American warships running rampant on the Yangtze River and fluttering flags of all nations, dilapidated fishing boats on the rivers and sweaty porters on the docks, and disaster victims fleeing in the countryside. The film's dubbing is sometimes sweet, sometimes passionate, and sometimes incredibly deep. Those who are familiar with it must be able to hear that this is the voice of the announcer of Southwest Radio. The history of the suffering of the Chinese nation came to life on the screen in just a few minutes, and the noses of the generals of the People's Army who watched it were sour.

Soon, the picture and sound on the screen changed.

"Among these imperialist countries that invaded the land of China, there is a rising star, and its name is Japan! Although it is a rising star, the ambition, depth and damage caused by this country's aggression against our Chinese nation are beyond the reach of all other imperialist countries. It was this country called Japan that forced the Manchu government to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki through the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, occupied Qingdao through the First World War, and now took the opportunity to prepare to occupy Jinan. ”

The name of the film appeared on the screen from small to large, Japan - Our Enemy. The film is divided into three parts, Japan and its history, the Japanese people and Japanese culture, and the Japanese army and its methods of warfare. The first part, Japan and its history, introduces the history of Japan, the current state of society, and the origins of Japan's expansion ambitions. The second part, the Japanese people and their culture, introduces the characteristics, language, culture, thoughts, and behavior of the Japanese people. The third part, the Japanese army and its methods of warfare, is the focus of the film, which takes up nearly half an hour in length. The film gives a detailed introduction to the composition of the Japanese army, navy, and its subordinate air forces, the history of each unit, and also introduces Japan's military thinking and combat characteristics, personnel, weaponry, and firepower allocation. There are even some briefings on the famous commanders of some units, their names, ages, military history, operational characteristics, and schools from which they graduated, and even a lot of information on the situation of several well-known military academies in Japan. There are relatively detailed information on the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, such as combat aircraft, individual weapons, artillery, ships, armored vehicles, tanks, and so on. However, there is very little material in the film, but fortunately there are photos and drawings to make up for it. Another important point is the operational characteristics of the Japanese army, which are shown in the form of moving films, news photos, battlefield photos, and commentary. The spirit of bushido in the Japanese army is also introduced in the film, and there is also a more profound analysis and explanation. The film materials not only pointed out the advantages of the Japanese army, but also did not let go of the analysis of the disadvantages and shortcomings of the Japanese army.

"After a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Japan and its army, let's take a look at some documentary film materials, which reflect the specific performance of the Japanese army in the war of expansion and military exercises abroad." The picture and sound of the movie began to change again.

On the screen, planes, tanks, and artillery make a huge roar, the Japanese infantry and cavalry launch a group charge amid the shouts, the aircraft carriers on the sea constantly take off and land carrier-based combat aircraft, destroyers, cruisers, and other warships chop the waves, and the ship-borne artillery roars to attack near-shore targets.

These modern war scenes were familiar to generals at all levels, but they were not too surprised. As long as you see the southwest exercise record, you will not be surprised by this picture.

After all these were broadcast, the film was over, and Wang Jie ran to turn on the lights.

The purpose of screening this documentary film today is obvious, that is, to let the commanders of the People's Army at all levels know about their opponents, and also to sound the alarm bell for the commanders, so as not to be too careless, because there is a big gap between the Japanese and domestic warlords, so as to prevent them from underestimating the enemy.

The collection of information for this documentary has actually gone through a long time, and most of the work of the spies sent to Japan by the Intelligence Service of the Military Intelligence Service is doing this.

A large amount of Japanese and Japanese military information is constantly being collected to the intelligence department of the Military Intelligence Agency through various channels, some from the United States and Europe, some from China, and some directly from Japan. Materials come from a variety of sources, from libraries, from newspapers, to money, to loot or steal. Some of the materials are still quite high in secrecy, and these materials are obtained by the secret departments of the spies stationed in various parts of Japan, the propaganda departments of the Japanese military units, the Japanese news organizations, and the archives of Japanese film companies.

Generally speaking, there are not many highly military secrets involved in documentary films, and if it were not for the efforts of spies for several years and the use of a large number of spy equipment, even if other countries wanted to do this work, it would not be a simple matter. Only by understanding the opponent can we defeat the opponent, better use tactics, and reduce losses in battle.

ps: Let's beat the little Japanese first, a little appetizer.
