In the entire process of the establishment of the Asian League, the empire appointed the Central Military Intelligence Department and the Central Intelligence Administration to be responsible for the entire process of the confidentiality agreement, and very few people in the member states knew about it; even so, Britain, the United States, France, and other countries still knew in advance some information about China's negotiation with Iraq and other countries to form a military alliance, but the specific situation was not very clear to the countries.

After the release of the real "Joint Statement of the Asian Union," Britain, the United States, and France said that all countries were extremely shocked and panicked, and that the Asian League was an aspect that shocked all countries, and what really frightened all countries the most was undoubtedly the establishment of the Asian Free Trade Area, an organization that directly excluded other countries.

Originally, under the same tariff situation, it would be very difficult for Europe and the United States to compete with China, and if there is still a gap in tariffs, it will be even more difficult to compete.

On the second day of the establishment of the Asian League, Keisuke Okada, the newly appointed prime minister, issued a serious warning on behalf of the political axe, saying that this is a new trade protectionism, that isolating other countries from the outside world is dangerous, and that it is likely to trigger a new war, and that he condemned China's monopoly of colonial interests in Asia through such an organization, which violates the spirit of open doors.

All in all, it is said that it does not recognize the valid surname of the Asian Union organization.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't admit it, if it were to go to war because of it, the Empire would definitely go to war.

Immediately after the Okada Statement, China launched a new warship manufacturing program, adding four Liangzhou-class battleships and two Northeast-class aircraft carriers, as well as one aircraft carrier and four cruisers for the Kingdom of Brunei, and one aircraft carrier, two high-speed battleships, and four cruisers for the Kingdom of Iran.

The Imperial Central Air Force was then expanded, from 20 to 33 air divisions, with an average of one air division for each member country, two for the Sulawesi Overseas Province, and finally one for Jeju, posing a direct threat to the bombing of the mainland.

In fact, in May 1934, just before the Lushan Conference, the first generation of the empire's jet fighter P2 had been successfully deployed in the 211 Air Division of the Northwest Military Region for secret service, and the improved model P3 \ 4 based on P2 was in the process of development, and the second-generation turbojet fighter P5 \ 6 In order to increase the nose radar space, after a large-scale hollow test, from the early stage of development, it was directly considered to take both sides of the air intake and dual release bureau, although from the beginning it faced the problem of supersonic tail imbalance and flutter, In particular, the intractable phenomenon of air compression and negative pressure is still being carried out at an accelerated pace, and the Air Force and Navy have allocated military funds to intervene in the research at the same time, and the 201 Project and the Central Aviation Research Institute have also set up a special cavity research bureau to conduct special research.

The birth of the P2 was epoch-making, although the No. 2 jet fighter still clearly had a large number of complex problems to solve after entering service, even so it was still of epoch-making significance and military value, with unrivaled dive sound in the face of conventional propeller fighters, and the torpedo bomber modified on its basis would be more destructive.

In the past, the empire used the army as the trump card and hole card, but now with the P2 air force, it has become the new hole card, which makes the empire less worried about the outbreak of war with any country.

Just a year apart, the emergence of P2 qualifies the Empire to maintain a more ruthless stance and a more arrogant posture in its provocations against the Ayaben, and the Empire does not have to heed any of the alleged warnings of the Celestial Edition, even if this time the Celestial Transcript has the acquiescence of the British and the United States.

In fact, even without P2, the empire does not need to pay attention to the warnings of the Zoben, and the countries that are now isolated from the Asian Free Trade Area are the Confederacy, and the longer it is maintained, the greater the power gap between China and the Populace.

After the Lushan meeting, Song Biaofei returned to the Chengde Summer Resort to rest for a while, continued to discuss with Chen Guangfu and the others on the issue of the Far East consortium, and a few days later, continued to fly to Aurora to inspect the construction plan of the new Northeast-class aircraft carrier.

There are three counties in Aurora Province that are particularly prosperous and are also the main foundation of the economic leader of the entire Far East bridgehead, one is Aurora County, the second is Jinzhou County, and the third is Pulandian County, Aurora County is the commercial and trade center, and Jinzhou and Pulandian are industrial centers, with light and heavy industries.

The three counties have strong complementary surnames.

The shipbuilding industry in Northeast China is dominated by Jinzhou County, the two largest shipyards are in Jinzhou County, and the Yaowan plant of Jinzhou Shipyard is a dedicated warship manufacturing port.

Behind every decision announced by the diplomatic world, there is a lot of work behind it, ostensibly because of the strong opposition and threats of the empire to increase the warship manufacturing program, as well as the warship sales plan to Iran and Brunei, but in fact, all of this has been determined long before that.

Jinzhou Shipyard received as many as 14 orders for warships in this year, three large warships, the situation of Jiangnan and Fuzhou Shipyards is the same as here, and Haizhou, Qingdao, Ningbo, Luanzhou, Jinzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhu and other places of large shipyards are basically the same, through more than 20 years of support and development, the empire has three large and seven medium-sized military ship construction bases, with an annual warship manufacturing capacity of more than 500,000 tons.

At the Jinzhou Shipyard, the construction of the country's first Northeast-class aircraft carrier is accelerating, and two of the four Harbin-class light cruisers are also being built here, and the other two are being built at the Haizhou Shipyard.

Before the emperor arrived at the shipyard, Chen Qicai, Minister of National Defense, and Chen Houfu, chief of staff of the Navy, both arrived in Jinzhou a few days in advance to prepare for the imperial pilot, and the shipyard was also newly decorated, and every place was cleaned spotlessly, making all preparations for the emperor's inspection.

On the open-air dock of the 30,000-ton shipbuilding, two 5,000-ton cranes are taxiing back and forth on the dock, and a number of tower cranes are constantly lifting the deck at the dock for installation, and more than 2,000 shipwrights are working as usual.

According to the Washington Naval Treaty, the signatory countries can build two 33,000-ton aircraft carriers without exceeding the total tonnage of the aircraft carriers.

After the expiration of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Empire will not consider signing a follow-up treaty, so after the initial construction of two Northeast-class aircraft carriers, the follow-up will continue to build four in 1936, followed by an escort aircraft carrier, two high-speed battleships, six cruisers and a number of destroyers and supply ships, to build a powerful aircraft carrier group, conventional operations are based on two aircraft carrier groups to form a branch fleet, large-scale naval operations are based on three detachments as a mixed fleet, as the main force of the Empire, All are deployed at the Sanduao Naval Base of the Imperial Southern Fleet.

As soon as the need arises, this huge Imperial Central Navy's Southern Fleet can directly move eastward to threaten the entire homeland.

After Song Biao arrived at the Jinzhou Shipyard, he inspected the shipyard accompanied by Chen Qicai, Chen Houfu, Chen Jiliang, and others; because there are many new technologies adopted, especially in the radar configuration, the Northeast-class aircraft carrier will consciously maintain a slower speed in the construction, and it will be completed at the end of 1935, and the official service will not be until 1936.

In other words, the Northeast class aircraft carrier is the first generation of aircraft carriers after the end of the Washington Naval Treaty, and will also be the main aircraft carrier of China directly facing World War II.

The Northeast class aircraft carrier does not consider the installation of jet fighters, and the overall demand for steam catapults is not very urgent, in the case of relatively simple and mature hydraulic catapult technology, the demand can be basically guaranteed, but in the design of the next level of Northwest class aircraft carriers, the empire has considered the use of a sliding jump deck to adapt to jet fighters, and has conducted a large number of tests for this.

Song Biao did not plan to inspect the shipyard for too long, because the construction of the Northeast-class aircraft carrier had only just begun, and the lead ship of the Harbin-class cruiser that matched it was already half completed, so he boarded the Harbin that was laying the deck to inspect it.

Prior to this, the empire had built the Changchun-class cruiser as an exclusive supporting warship for the aircraft carrier fleet, the Harbin-class cruiser built this time is the improved follow-up model of the Changchun-class cruiser, the Changchun-class cruiser is the first generation of the empire's warships with search radar, and the radar installed on the Northeast-class aircraft carrier and the Harbin-class cruiser is the second-generation radar developed by the empire.

After inspecting the Harbin cruiser, Song Biao was in a very happy mood, and the feeling of the steel giant ship at his feet was still very fulfilling, and he was envious of the life of the navy soldiers who could gallop with the ship to the sea.

After leaving the shipyard, Song Biao continued to go to the Far East Shipbuilding Industry Design Institute, accompanied by Chen Qicai and others, where the empire's first generation of steam catapults was simulated, and more tests were carried out secretly in the southern waters of Guangxi, and only some basic design materials and samples can still be seen.

The Central Ship Design Institute in Fuzhou was responsible for the design of the sliding deck, and it is interesting to note that the empire arranged the test base for the sliding deck in the southern Caspian Sea of Turkmenistan, and built a test ship in Azerbaijan under the name of oil tankers, which was specially used for some secret aircraft carrier tests.

The Empire's beveled deck design was actually a lot of testing work done in the Caspian Sea, and finally applied to the Northeast-class aircraft carriers with a more mature design and technology.

The focus of the empire's naval strategy has shifted to aircraft carriers, but at the media and propaganda level, the imperial defense department consciously hides information related to aircraft carriers, and deliberately openly discusses the Liangzhou-class and Yongzhou-class battleships in the "Far East Daily", which are 35,000-40,000 tons and 45,000-50,000 tons of design standard displacement respectively. The Yongzhou-class high-speed battleships in the design were named the Emperor class to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor and build four as the backbone of the Imperial Navy.

Said Ben.

Tokyo, Nagata Town Prime Minister's Office.

The Great Empire Prime Minister's Office.

Prime Minister Keisuke Okada held talks in his office with Minister of the Navy Okaku and Chief of the Naval Command Marshal Fushimi Miya.

The expressions of the three people were as rigid as frost.

Regarding the report that the Chinese Empire announced the possibility of withdrawing from the Washington Naval Treaty to build a 45,000-ton displacement Emperor-class battleship, Dajiao Qinsheng was completely speechless, saying that the treaty faction within the navy was completely finished, and he thought so.

If China withdraws, it will inevitably withdraw, and if China wants to build emperor-class battleships, it will inevitably build new battleships with a more powerful scale, and the battleships of this class are already being designed, and relevant technology research and development has also begun to prepare.

Soldiers don't get tired of deceit.

They were also claiming to build battleships of the same class to fight against China, but what they actually had to consider was the larger Yamato-class battleship, which would be the ultimate battleship with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons.

Although the voice of the aircraft carrier faction is not very loud, but China is also building aircraft carriers, and it is clear that Ben will continue to build aircraft carriers.

On the one hand, the Showa Emperor sent Minister of the Interior Minoru Saito to convey the expectation that he should not be enemies at the same time as Britain, the United States, and China, and on the other hand, the Imperial Family, Marshal Fushimi Miya, Marshal Hiroko, the battleship faction, pressed to demand that the Cabinet of the Navy and the Ministry of the Navy make a comprehensive concession to the Navy Staff Headquarters and respect the opinion of the Navy Headquarters.

There is also the vicious attack of the army, the aggressiveness of the imperial faction, and the exaggerated propaganda of public opinion.

Everything made the new Prime Minister Okada feel that there were too many contradictions, difficult to coordinate, as the prime minister of the empire and a wise man, he hated this plan to have a naval race with the Shina Empire, although the newspapers always exaggerated claims that the Shina Empire is still poor and ignorant and other things, and all kinds of contradictions within the Shina Empire are fierce, and the division seems to be a matter of tomorrow, but he knows very well that the current stability within the Shina Empire is unbearable.

Under the pressure of the military department, Okada issued a very strong wording to oppose the establishment of the Asian League, but he knew very well that he did not have the possibility of completely threatening the Chinese League, and the Chinese would not abandon the Asian League because of his tough statement, let alone include the Asian League.

Hell yes!

Prime Minister Okada scolded in his heart, scratching his head in pain, but his eyes looked at the newspaper on the table, and he always felt that this matter was getting more and more outrageous, and he could probably be regarded as watching the history of the Shina Empire rising step by step from a weak country that overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the first power in Asia.

After the Xinhai War, although China won the war because of the rout of the army, in his heart, the empire still has an advantage over China by virtue of its powerful navy, and this advantage has continued from the first day of the year to the present, for a full thirty-five years, I have always looked down on China, what should I do now?

Sitting on the chair, Keisuke Okada leaned back on the chair with a headache, closed his eyes and thought deeply, but subconsciously he really wanted to leave immediately.

As the prime minister of the Great Empire, he is still very helpless, he really doesn't know what to do, as the saying goes, it is difficult to return, and now the book is simply like this, offending China, the United States and Britain at the same time in the Pacific Ocean, so there will be such a pitiful thing as the Singapore Conference, right?

After sighing, Keisuke Okada still said in a heavy tone to the Minister of the Navy, Okari Tsuyoshi, and the Chief of the Naval Command, Marshal Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi: "In any case, a new type of battleship that can represent and maintain the status of the Navy, must be built, so don't talk about the nonsense of withdrawing from the Washington Treaty, but in any case, relations with Britain and the United States still need to be relaxed, although these two Western world powers are also very confused fools, but it is still necessary to re-establish friendly relations with them, only in this way." , the empire can better and more intensively deal with China. In any case, China is our heart's trouble, and the two Indonesian crises and the Sino-Chinese Xinhai War have clearly proved this, right? ”

As the last supporter of the treaty faction within the navy, Okari was also speechless, and in the face of the oppression of the battleship faction and the military department, he had no choice but to agree to the demands of the battleship faction, and it was impossible to resist the request of the chief of the naval command, King Fushimi Miyahiroko, the marshal of the imperial family.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi was arrogant, he was a naval hero during the Russo-Russian War, and he controlled the navy on behalf of the emperor, and it was because of his status that others could not resist his various demands.

He said indifferently: "The emperor hopes not to be enemies of Britain and the United States and the three countries of China at the same time, then it is necessary to resolve the contradictions with Britain and the United States, and continue to implement a tough policy against China, so it is inevitable to compete with the China Navy, and it is absolutely impossible for the empire to let the shame of China have the advantage of technology and warships, this is a matter related to the dignity of the Great Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, and the cabinet should make every effort for this, if there is no funding, then try to find a way to solve the problem as much as possible, Even if the whole nation can only eat porridge, the ultimate battleship must be built. ”

Keisuke Okada didn't dare to refute King Hirokoshi Fushimi Palace, the marshal of the imperial family, even if he felt that the royal family's request was a bit excessive, he could only nod honestly and say yes.

Marshal is the meaning of the Marshal Mansion, just like the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Dynasty, representing the highest qualifications and honors of the Navy and the Army, not the military rank, but the marshal is the general of the Navy and the Army, serving as the three commanders of the Navy and the Army.

Among them, the Admiral of the Marshal's Palace, Prince Zaihito, and the Admiral of the Fushimi Palace, King Hiroko, are the Imperial Marshals representing Emperor Showa, and are responsible for controlling the army for the Emperor.

Especially the newly appointed Prime Minister Okada, that's really not even bullshit.

This is also evident in the posture of the three of them sitting in the office, with Marshal Fushimi Miya, Admiral Hiroko, sitting in front of the Prime Minister's desk, and Admiral Okari Koyo, the Minister of the Navy, sitting next to him as if he were just an interpreter for King Fushimi Miyahiro.

During the talks between the three, King Hiroko Fushimi didn't even have to raise his eyelids most of the time, his hands rested on the thick armrests, his expression was cold and arrogant, and Keisuke Okada, who was clearly more senior in the navy, could only bow his head and reply.

Fushimi Miyahiro Gongwang's way of speaking was slow and logical, but it was not questioned by outsiders at all, and he indifferently reminded Prime Minister Okada and Minister Okaku Qinsheng, "Shina has clearly put forward a new naval plan, which will build four Liangzhou-class battleships, four Yongzhou-class or emperor-class battleships, as well as eight new heavy cruisers and four aircraft carriers. In order to ensure the absolute superiority of the Imperial Navy over China. ”

Keisuke Okada could only nod his head again, but he felt even more painful in his heart, because it was impossible for the Fumito to finance to support such an astonishing suppression plan, even if the Samoto Navy itself had more than the scale of the main ships of the Shina Navy, but to actually compare, except for the four Aurora-class battleships that were built around the end of World War I, all the rest were newly built ships.

At present, according to the statistics of the Ministry of the Navy, the three major fleets of the Northern, Southern, and Nanyang fleets of the Chinese Navy have a total of four Aurora-class, two Qingzhou-class, and four Yuzhou-class battleships, and this year they will begin to build new Liangzhou-class battleships at the three shipbuilding bases in Jiangnan, Qingdao, and Luanzhou.

In addition to this, the China Navy has four aircraft carriers and two aircraft carrier training ships, one combined forces class battle training ship, 22 heavy cruisers and 45 light cruisers, and this number would be even higher if it were not for the sale of some cruisers of the old model to other allies.

The Navy Ministry's estimate of the number of submarines in China is about 50, while there are only 32 submarines in China, and both sides are mainly cooperating with Germany, and it is expected that there is little difference in technology, and there may be a high degree of similarity.

Although the Navy is reluctant to admit it, the fact is that the Navy lost to the Chinese Navy in the competition for cruisers, and China has 10 naval bases that can build cruisers, while only four shipyards can build them, and the gap between the two sides is also relatively large in terms of construction speed, and each shipyard in China only needs an average of 10 months to build a cruiser, while it generally takes about 13 months.

According to the scale of the shipbuilding industry of the two sides, if the two sides go all out to build ships and compete, China's warship production capacity will be about three times that of the same period.

Ignoring this gap, and believing that the manufacturing technology of the Chinese navy is too crude, in an actual naval battle, it usually takes 1.5 cruisers to compete with one cruiser, and the influence of the traditional inferior level of the Chinese navy, the navy has always believed that the Chinese navy needs two times or even three times the total tonnage of the navy's displacement to compete with the navy.

On the one hand, the naval battle in the Yellow Sea during the Russo-Russian War created unprecedented national self-confidence, but to a certain extent, it also buried the shadow of defeat.

As a hero of the imperial navy who participated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, King Fushimi Palace Hiroko was full of contempt for the Shina Navy in his heart, and he was extremely arrogant in his life, even the Prime Minister Okada in front of him was not worth mentioning at all.

Since the cabinet fully agreed with the request of the Navy Headquarters, King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi did not want to entangle with this cabinet prime minister who was not as good as bullshit, so he arrogantly got up and put on the white imitation gloves that symbolized the holiness of the navy, and emphasized with Keisuke Okada: "The top priority of the empire is to dismantle the so-called Asian Alliance, no matter what means must be used to achieve this goal, and the strength of the imperial navy is the basis for achieving this goal. Those toads at the bottom of the well don't understand the power of the Empire, do they, Your Excellency, Prime Minister? ”

Keisuke Okada didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly got up to see him off, and said with a pause: "What you said is that the empire must arrange a world voyage that imitates the American White Fleet, focusing on Asian countries, so that all countries can see the strength of the imperial navy. ”

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong arrogantly reminded: "The first stop is in Shina." ”

"Yes!"

Keisuke Okada still didn't dare to refute, so he personally sent King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong out of the office.

After King Fushimi Miyahiro left under the protection of the guards, Keisuke Okada reluctantly turned around and looked at the big horned Qinsheng, and the two pouted at each other indifferently, looking extremely serious.

After a while, Dajiao Qinsheng said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, although the slogan of maintaining the superiority of the Imperial Navy is very loud even if you let the people of this country eat only porridge, if you really want to do it, I am afraid that even so, you may not be able to maintain your superiority for a long time, right?" ”

Keisuke Okada slowly returned to his seat, closed his eyes silently for a moment, and then replied: "So to ease our relations with Britain and the United States, but there is one thing that is very troublesome, that is, even if our relations with Britain and the United States improve, as long as we want to try to expand southward, it will threaten the interests of Britain and the United States, and whether it is South America, Southeast Asia, or the North and Far East, the empire has no suitable development area, among the three countries of China and Britain and the United States, the weakest is definitely China, If we can unite with the Soviet Union to attack China from east to west, we have a great chance of defeating the China Empire, the Soviet Union can retake the Far East, we can occupy Manchuria, and this is undoubtedly our only option. ”

"Yes," replied, "there is no other option, but the cooperation with Germany must continue." ”

Keisuke Okada replied simply, "So be it!" ”

Saying this, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the globe next to his desk, which was still a globe purchased during the Saionji Cabinet, but Keisuke Okada hated this thing very much, and every time he looked at it, he would clearly realize how big the Shina Empire was.

At this moment, an official from the Ministry of Economy and Finance came to deliver a special economic report called "Survey of the National Conditions of China," but it was only a few thin pages, and Keisuke Okada lazily waved his hand to get the official of the Ministry of Economy and Finance out.

In short, the current officials are really becoming more and more irresponsible.

Keisuke Okada was a little annoyed, he remembered that when he was a student at the Naval University, there were often various investigation reports related to Shina in the school, and almost every part of the content could be printed in a thick volume.

At that time, the slogan about the conquest of China within the Great Empire was very taboo and very exciting, and it was the blood and passion of their youth that had dissipated now?

For Keisuke Okada's generation, who lived through the Sino-Japanese War, this is really a persistent dream that can never be forgotten and given up, and it is like completing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's great ambitions, and it is exciting to think about it.

At that time, it was not far from the dream, and every time I looked up, I would feel that the book was getting stronger and stronger, and the branch was always getting weaker and weaker.

Really.

Keisuke Okada still remembers that one year at the regular meeting of the military headquarters, there was a suggestion from a lieutenant general or a major general of the army to directly assassinate the emperor of China, and declared that as long as the emperor of China died, China would fall back into collapse and division, and the opportunity for the empire would come.

Why didn't you support such an idea at that time?

Keisuke Okada can't help but feel sorry when he thinks about it now, but the few pages of the survey of China's national situation in his hand really can't explain the problem, he roughly picked it up and looked at it a few times, and noticed that China has always tried to measure the country's strength by the gross national product like the United States.

It's just that the report on China's GDP in recent years has been difficult to find, and I don't know if China hasn't done a specific survey and statistics since the Great Depression, or because the data is very panicked, so it doesn't dare to publish it at all.

It's just that no matter what the numbers are, Keisuke Okada is full of cynicism about this, for his generation, the size of the country's economy is really not worth mentioning, didn't Ben defeat China, and then defeated Russia?

This is enough to show that the criterion for representing the strength or weakness of a country can only be military strength, not the so-called gross national product, and that kind of thing really doesn't make any sense, right?

The Ministry of Economy and Finance still managed to verify the approximate GDP of the China Empire last year from an academic research paper at Aurora University, and analyzed that "the size of China's self-proclaimed GDP surpassed that of the United States in 1933, but in terms of actual conditions, and considering the vanity of the bureaucracy in China, it is expected that its real economic output will still be half that of the United States, and once the American economy recovers, the gap between the two sides will still widen again, and from the perspective of technology and exports, the size of the economy should be about 1/6 of that of the United States." The industrial scale is expected to be 1/4 of that of the United States. ”

Just by looking at it at a cursory glance, Keisuke Okada felt more and more that the officials of the Ministry of Economy were really getting more and more ridiculous, and if it was just calculated in this way, the GDP of the Shina Empire should only be three times that of the previous one.

In any case, Keisuke Okada felt that the officials of the Ministry of Economics were lying, and they still wanted to prove that the gap between the economic aggregates between the Ministry of Economic Affairs and China was continuing to narrow, and they wanted to cover up the facts.

Okada thinks that even if you just think about it with your ass, you will know that the gap between the total economic output of China is already very large, of course, this gap is not much related to the strength of the country, no matter what, if the war starts now, it can still defeat China, this is the real strength, so there is no need to lose confidence for this little thing, so that you have to rely on lying to maintain the so-called decency.

Even so, Okada does not intend to correct anything, every prime minister is unwilling to correct the matter, and he is not guilty of doing such a thankless task.

Officials of the Ministry of Economic Affairs said that the Asian trade affair is very serious, and although the gap between China and China in terms of the total national economy is not big at the present stage, it is expected that in the next 10 years, if the empire cannot effectively contain the free trade organization led by China, which is clearly used to exclude Japan, the empire will completely lose its market in Asia.

What worries him the most is that once the Asian League expands around China and further spreads to Indonesia and other regions, the value of his presence in Asia will be completely deprived.

Prime Minister Keisuke Okada did not know what else could be done to contain the matter, and it was too late to stop it, and if he directly sent troops to attack China, even if he threatened and lured other Asian alliance allies at the same time so that these allies would not participate in the war, the probability of winning the war was not high.

Prime Minister Okada himself thinks it's just a matter of low probability, and that's generally the case with the entire story.

It was a very strange country, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia were also so vast back then, it still dared to challenge, even if today's Chinese Empire has great strength, it felt that there was nothing that could not be challenged.

After so many years, he still believes that he will have a lot of advantages in the war with China, and the defeat in the Xinhai War in China is simply blamed on the lack of light machine guns, and the overall degree of reflection on this is very low, and even to this day, the people of the country basically do not know how heavy the losses were back then, and the middle and low-level officers in the military department are also not clear.

Such a famous and one-sided war seems to have been wiped out in our own country, as if it had never existed.

As an admiral, Okada didn't have a deep understanding of this.

Considering the problem from the standpoint of the navy, he always felt that it was not very difficult to deal with China, but it was not as easy as it was to deal with the Manchu navy in those years, and it was probably easier than it was to deal with the Russian navy, after all, in terms of strength, the navy still had an absolute advantage.

After saying that after so many years, it is a great miracle that Ben has not launched a revenge war with China again.

Standing in this era, if you are a person, whether it is in terms of race, culture, history, national system, military system, equipment, soldier quality, martial spirit, education, national quality, etiquette, law, etc., you feel that you are better than the "Zhi Na", you feel that the "Zhi Na Country" is much ahead of the "Zhi Na Country", and you will feel that the reason why the "Zhi Na Country" can become a world power on an equal footing with the Great Yue Empire is nothing more than relying on the natural advantages of a large population and a vast territory, as long as the Great Yue Ben Empire has enough territoryIf the Great Empire was born with the vast territory and rich resources of the "China Country", the Great Empire and the Yamato nation would have ruled the world for thousands of years.

Yes.

This is the book of the 30s of the 20th century.

Even if most of the people are poor and can only use beans to satisfy their hunger, fart and smoke people to death, and their clothes can only have such a set of shabby and old clothes, they still think that they are better than the "branch kind".

They were reluctant to even mention the word "Shina people", and continued to use "Shina" in the official documents of the political axe, but changed from the former "Shina country" to the "Shina Empire", as their special respect for the "Shina country".

Right-wing fascists are rampant, and if you openly use words like "China," "Chinese Empire," and "Chinese people," you will easily be caught and beaten by thugs, and if you declare that you want to maintain friendship and peace with the "China country," you will be wildly slandered by newspapers as "national traitors," "national traitors," and so on.

In many newspapers, people still like to see the classic traditional image of "Zhi Zhi" with braided hair, thin and sickly, dry complexion, and no covering, and if there are newspapers that claim how rich and strong China is now, how rich the people are, how powerful the enterprises are, and how popular education is, the imperial faction and all kinds of underworld forces will find you, threaten you, and publicly insult you.

There is always a reason why a country has become like this, even the prime minister is not rational at all.

In this country, the right-wing has never been cleaned up, but it can never be cleaned up.

(To be continued)
