Chapter 499: Spring of the Mustache

Qiao Yu is not afraid of what the British will do, on the contrary, Qiao Yu even hopes that the British will toss as much as possible, for a country like Britain that is declining, the happier the toss, the faster it will die, the so-called poor donkey skills are like this, where can the small British Isles support a huge colonial empire.

China's first completely self-built aircraft carrier Zhenyuan has been launched at this time, and will soon be able to enter service, Zhenyuan is a powerful maritime combat platform carefully built by China, which can carry up to 100 aircraft of all types, which can be called the most powerful cutting-edge warship in the Far East, and China also has a battleship under construction.

Although the era of aircraft carriers has arrived, it does not mean that the battleship has completely lost its value, in fact, the performance of the aircraft is still relatively backward, compared with the World War II period, there is still a big gap, and it cannot fully meet the needs of the battlefield, so the battleship still has a certain value.

All the major powers have not completely given up battleships, China has a share of more than 100,000 tons of battleships, Qiao Yu is not ready to use them all, the limited naval funds should still be concentrated on aircraft carriers and submarines, this is China's advantage, but the construction of this one is a must, in addition to China also wants to build another first-class battleship, in the future as the bodyguard of the aircraft carrier, or used in the battle for islands in Southeast Asia, powerful naval guns can give a good cover to the landing force.

Even if they have their own strengths, as for the newer aircraft carrier is also in the design, and construction will start soon, but from the current point of view, the Zhenyuan plus the starting point of the two aircraft carriers are enough for China to maintain its naval superiority in East Asia, because Japan is already crippled, China has lost its main opponent in the north, so China's Yellow Sea Fleet has only one Zhenhai escort aircraft carrier, and the East China Sea Fleet has Yangwei escort aircraft carrier, and the base is selected in the Ryukyus.

The remaining Qiqi and Guangyi escort aircraft carriers have been incorporated into the South China Sea Fleet, and this time after the Zhenyuan is officially listed, it will also be incorporated into the South China Sea Fleet, and the area responsible for the entire South China Sea Fleet is also relatively broad, starting from Taiwan Island. It stretches west all the way to North Vietnam. To the south, it includes Xisha Island, Zhongsha Island, Nansha and other islands, islands and reefs.

After the construction of the naval base in Siam was completed, China handed over the Chaoyong to Siam, and because Siam had limited technical personnel, it was necessary to hire a large number of high-level Chinese personnel. Even the commanders, in fact, can also be seen as a peripheral fleet of China, which means that the waters of the Gulf of Siam will also be under China's control, and these are also the areas for which the South China Sea Fleet is responsible.

In this vast sea, China has to face Britain and France. The United States, the Netherlands and other four colonial countries, the pressure is definitely not small, so the South China Sea Fleet is also China's most powerful fleet at present, after the Zhenyuan entered service, it is natural to strengthen the military presence in the South China Sea, with a starting point or still can't play.

In addition to the main battleship, the rest of the auxiliary warships are also under construction. Especially small and medium-sized destroyers. There are no explicit provisions in the arms limitation treaty, and many shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River in China are like dumplings. New warships are constantly being launched.

As for the Qinzhou shipyard, it is a specialist in large warships and submarines, and China has so far built five heavy cruisers, the total number of submarines is more than 45, and a number of large supply ships are also under construction.

If it is said that during the confrontation with the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Chinese Navy had great shortcomings in all aspects except for naval aviation, then now is an important period for the Chinese Navy to make up for its shortcomings and form a strong combat capability.

This is also where the confidence of China's top leaders, including Qiao Yu, lies, no matter what tricks the British play, China can break the situation with strong strength.

At present, although China has demarcated the scope of territorial waters in the South China Sea, some southern areas are actually still under the control of the fleets of Britain and France, and Chinese warships have not formed a regular patrol system.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Zhenyuan's ocean-going training, it formed a powerful maritime formation to conduct a comprehensive cruise in the South China Sea and swear to the world China's control of the territorial waters.

China is now a decisive power, any action will attract the attention of all sides, especially this kind of show off military power is a headache for Britain and France, they have been bullying the weak for many years, but now the trend of strength and weakness has changed, they have to live tremblingly under the threat of China's powerful force, how can they not be frightened.

At this time, Britain did not have the ability to deploy several aircraft carrier battle groups in the Far East, at most, it was to launch the media, attack China, publicize China's military expansion, and accuse China of destroying the world's military balance.

Compared to Britain, which can only spit, Qiao Yu can do too much, the current economic crisis has not yet begun, and most of the mustaches are still dormant in Germany, and the Nazi Party, which will shock the world in the future, is still a small party in a place at this time, and it has not attracted the attention of all parties at all.

But no one knows better than Qiao Yu the ability of this small party, the world will change because of it, the attention to Hitler began as early as a few years ago, Gu Weijun had met Hitler before the Geneva Conference, and funded Hitler through the power of some businessmen.

After the beer hall riots, Hitler was forbidden to speak in public, but this did not discourage him in the slightest, on the contrary, Hitler used this time to begin to formulate various rules and regulations in detail, building the Nazi Party into a tight-knit political organization, constantly expanding its influence among the people, and constantly promoting his political ideas through the newspaper media.

It was during this period that the Nazi Party was established, and on this day while Hitler was writing at his desk, an Oriental man was invited to Hitler's office, and for some time this man had been a frequent visitor, and had been generous to Hitler and his organization, and the Nazi Party had been friendly to him.

This man is China's billionaire Zhou Lang, who first made his fortune in World War I, and then ventured into nickel mines, becoming China's largest nickel merchant. Today, China and Germany have close economic ties. China needs to buy a large amount of machinery and equipment from Germany, and in return, China needs to provide Germany with various ore specialties, and Zhou Lang came to Germany to inspect for trade with Germany.

Before he came to Europe, he received a secret assignment from the Bureau of Investigation, which allowed him to provide a certain level of funding for Hitler and the Nazi Party, so that they could develop rapidly.

Zhou Lang is not a fool either, and the Chinese government is actually ready to fund a local political party in Germany. That means that this political party has great potential and can get rich returns, so Zhou Lang also has his own calculations, a successful businessman will inevitably have to deal with politics, and he must sort out the relationship with many countries, only in this way can he be able to eat.

After he arrived in Germany. Deliberately collected a lot of information about the Nazi Party and Hitler, and also read Hitler's struggle several times, to be honest, Zhou Lang did not see anything special, except for the idea that it was a little extreme, the writing of the whole book was extremely rough, and it could even be said that it was ugly, would such a person become a big man in Germany.

Zhou Lang has no bottom in his heart, but as an excellent businessman, he must have the spirit of gambling. I can make a decision at a critical moment. Otherwise, it will definitely not be possible to do a big thing, and when the old-timer Lu Buwei saw Qin Yiren, he thought it was a strange thing to live in. Today's Hitler may be such a dragon.

He was able to make up his mind to invest in Hitler because Zhou Lang believed in the vision of the Chinese government, and perhaps the Chinese government had already conducted an investigation of Hitler in all aspects, thinking that he had development potential, so he decided to support it, so Zhou Lang came to Munich, the largest city in Bavaria, which was Hitler's office.

For nearly a month, Zhou Lang came to visit Hitler almost every day, and threw a lot of money to help the Nazi Party solve difficulties and publish more propaganda materials.

"Mr. Zhou, has it been going well lately?"

"That's right, this time I have reached a supply agreement with Rheinmetall AG, and my company will supply Rheinmetall with the required nickel ore for the next three years!"

"Mr. Zhou, a strong Germany can never do without the prosperity of the military industry, but after Germany was betrayed by those damned Jews, the military industry was severely restricted, this is a shame for Germany, Germany cannot prostrate in front of the enemy and beg for the enemy's handout, I think China is the best partner, you have a huge market, rich resources, and Germany has excellent technology, and the most important thing is that both countries have been hurt by Britain and France, we should unite, The last time I had the pleasure of meeting your foreign minister, Mr. Gu Weijun, we had a friendly conversation, in recent years, China's role in the international community has become more and more important, Germany wants to rearm, it cannot do without China's support, the two countries should work hand in hand to create a new future! ”

As long as Hitler was not emotional, his speech was still very organized, and Zhou Lang nodded frequently.

"Yuan Xiansheng, your proposal is very attractive, but I am just an ordinary businessman, and I can't decide the country's major policies, but I am very much looking forward to the cooperation between China and Germany can be deepened, this time I have come to Germany for a long time, I am ready to return to China in three days, this is my heart, barely a support for your party's cause, I am also willing to see Germany under the leadership of Yuan Xiansheng, re-become strong!"

While speaking, Zhou Lang put a check on the table, Hitler did not pay attention to Chinese subtlety, and hurriedly took the check, and a series of zeros on it immediately attracted his attention, this check is a total of one million yuan, and it is also a dollar, not the mark that Germany has depreciated countless times!

In this era, a million dollars is definitely a huge amount of money, Hitler has also received funding from some German companies before, but most of them are about a few thousand yuan, or even lower, more than 10,000 yuan is already astronomical, the Chinese in front of him actually took out a million, how can he not be excited, Hitler only felt as if he was in a gust of spring breeze, extremely comfortable!
