Shimoda Takao and Mizumura are now wanted criminals in Japan, and they can be received by the prime minister of a dignified country in China, and they can also provide huge financial assistance, which is too exciting for the two of them, and even a little dizzy, but the two people are also facing a very real problem, that is, how to spend the money!

No one will give them a huge sum of 10 million for no reason, and they must need to do something themselves, Shimoda Takao stood up respectfully, bowed to Qiao Yuxian, and then asked: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are already inseparable from the Japanese government, and we only have unforgettable hatred for those warlords and chaebols, but please instruct us what we need to do!" ”

Qiao Yu showed a faint smile on his face, "Mr. Shimoda, your task is very simple, that is, to spend all this money, whether it is to buy goods, to do anything wrong, to recruit people, in short, as long as you can let these funds flow into Japan!" ”

Shimoda Takao and Mizumura are not stupid, if this is real money, Qiao Yu will definitely not let himself spend it indiscriminately, then there is only one possibility, that is, this yen is all counterfeit money, but they have already looked at it carefully, those fake coins are actually more real than real money, whether it is from the paper or the printing there is no problem, this is simply incredible!

"I think you also understand that these banknotes are fake, but I can tell you that these fake coins are exactly the same as the real money, and even more beautiful than the real money, if you can spend it smoothly, I will continue to provide you with as many as you want, with this money you can hoard supplies, recruit personnel, and can also disrupt Japan's financial order and shake Japan's foundation, what do you think?"

When Shimoda Takao and Mizumura heard this, they also knew that they had no way out, so they had to be honest and obedient and give it a go. Naturally, all agreed. Although the riots were strongly suppressed by the Japanese government, there are still many people who are dissatisfied with the government, so the two of them also have enough channels to spend the money, and they also took the initiative to ask China to send some intelligence personnel to help them develop their influence in Japan!

For many years, Japan has taken the initiative to provoke incidents and launch offensives in China, while China has been passively defensive. can only be beaten, and it is absolutely not okay if you can't fight back, Qiao Yu supports the North Koreans and secretly supports Shimoda Takao and others for this purpose.

The Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan has also gradually counted the damage, with more than 140,000 dead and missing people, and more than 1.9 million people left homeless. More than 120,000 buildings collapsed, nearly 450,000 were burned, many members of the imperial family were killed, and the loss of wealth was incalculable.

The desolation of the island nation was underscored by the ensuing riots, which were followed by a series of suicide attacks on the North Korean side, in which more than 40 Japanese were killed and a series of assassinations. Subsequently, the Interim Government of the Republic of Korea declared itself responsible. He also strongly condemned Japan's massacre of Koreans after the earthquake and demanded that Japan immediately grant Korean independence. Otherwise, it will only attract even more crazy retaliation, and all of a sudden the reputation of the provisional government will be greatly enhanced, and there will be an unstable situation in North Korea!

Japan can only show its butcher's knife and suppress it on a large scale, and Japan has become a pot of porridge, and the trauma caused by the Kanto earthquake to Japan may take more than ten years to recover.

Time flies, three years have passed in a flash, the whole world has gradually recovered from the smoke of the First World War, showing a prosperous scene, even Japan seems to have escaped the effects of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and these three years are also a period of great change for China.

President Xu Shichang has stepped down, and Qiao Yu has become the president of the Republic of China, and the United Democratic Party led by Qiao Yu also won more than ninety percent of the votes in the parliamentary election, becoming the only ruling party in the support of all the people.

Qiao Yu is now only in his early thirties, and according to common sense, Qiao Yu can be in power for at least 30 years, which also marks the end of China's political chaos since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the country finally ushered in a good opportunity for stable development.

After Qiao Yu came to power, the first big move was to formulate a five-year plan, for the development of China's industry and agriculture for a systematic and comprehensive design, the five-year plan was originally the Soviet Union's signboard, and after World War II, the five-year plan became popular, including China, South Korea, Israel and other emerging industrial countries will regard the five-year plan as the supreme magic weapon, relying on the country's strong promotion to establish an industrial system, from an agricultural country, into an industrial country!

Of course, the Soviet Union has not yet invented this magic weapon, Qiao Yu is the first to create, and it is not an easy thing to prepare a plan, Qiao Yu will gather experts from all walks of life in the country, and the main local feudal officials together, and everyone will jointly study how China should develop.

After careful argumentation, it was finally decided that the focus of China's first five-year plan should be on agriculture, and this point was the same as the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union, in order to carry out industrialization, it was necessary to put a large amount of labor into industrial production, and the corresponding agricultural population would be reduced, and grain production might be reduced, and industrialization was accompanied by urbanization, and it would not work without enough food.

The Soviet Union's approach was to take agricultural collectivization, by depriving the peasants, to create the basis for industrial development, Qiao Yu did not take this approach, but focused on agricultural development and production increase, China has the Northeast this precious black soil, the development of the Northeast has already begun, in the first five-year plan, Qiao Yu vigorously promoted agricultural mechanization in the Northeast, and at the same time prepared to build four large fertilizer plants, China's annual fertilizer output increased to five million tons, in addition to supporting agricultural machinery factories are also in full swing, Production of tractors, seeders and much more!

The Northeast has a vast plain, as well as the Daqing Oilfield, which is just promoting mechanized operations, and this is the most important granary of China's future!

In addition to the Northeast, Xinjiang is also a key development area in China, where the thermal conditions are good, as long as the water problem is solved, it can ensure high output, in addition to the development of the Northeast, Xinjiang and other places, the entire Huang-Huai-Hai Plain has also been treated on a large scale, and the grain output has increased steadily!

By 1925, China's per capita grain possession exceeded 300 kilograms, and although it had not been able to completely solve the problem of food and clothing, at least there would not be a large-scale starvation of people. If you count some miscellaneous grains. It's almost enough to eat!

According to the first five-year plan, China's steel production will exceed 5 million tons, coal will be 40 million tons, and oil will be 3 million tons. The power generation capacity should reach 10 billion kWh, but in order to achieve this level, China's investment is not enough, Qiao Yu chose to introduce some capital from the United States after thinking twice.

You must know that the United States is now out of the Coolidge boom, and the momentum of economic expansion is very violent, facing such a huge market as China. The United States is also very coveted, and they are also very interested in China's move to attract foreign investment, and a large amount of American capital has poured into China.

Now the first five-year plan has only been implemented for more than two years, but it has already shown great power, and Chinese society is in the process of being reborn, and its strength is growing, and the fastest growing regions are Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Northeast China. Continue with this momentum. Replacing the southwest as the new economic leader is not a very distant thing.

Seeing that China's economy is thriving, the top government officials are also very happy. Economic strength increases, the corresponding military strength will be enhanced, China has designed its first battleship in 1925, with a design displacement of more than 35,000 tons, equipped with ten 410 mm guns, and in early 1926 has begun to lay keels, this warship is actually designed by China and Germany, of course, German experts are hidden behind, but they also have to bear the cost of research and development, the same after the warship is launched, the German Navy can also use this battleship to train talents!

In fact, Qiao Yu is really not interested in expensive battleships, but out of consideration for fooling other countries, China must play something real, otherwise countries may not follow up, and there are Germans who bear part of the cost, why not do it!

"President, the Japanese side has already protested several times, believing that China's first battleship is 410 mm, and future warships will inevitably exceed this tonnage, and the threat to Japan is very huge, and they have also contacted the United States and Britain and other countries, hoping to force China to stop work!" Jiang Baili reported the situation to Qiao Yu.

According to the requirements of the Washington Conference, the tonnage of the newly built battleship cannot exceed 35,000 tons, and the main gun cannot exceed 16 inches.

"Brother Baili, don't worry about the Japanese, now the Japanese have exploited the loopholes of the six-nation naval arms treaty, their Kaga-class battleships have reached 40,000 tons, which is currently the largest tonnage warship in the world, the United States and Britain have long been unpleasant, and now China has built a larger warship, the United States and Britain will not only not interfere, but will also look forward to us and Japan to the death!"

Jiang Baili also said with a smile: "Japan still retains the qualification to build a new warship, they will definitely not fall behind, the tonnage must be larger, the firepower is more fierce, but once Japan starts construction, the results of the Washington Conference will become a dead letter in an instant, and the United States and Britain will inevitably follow up, I am afraid that there will be a new arms race at that time!" ”

"Hehe, don't fight, don't be lively, let them toss, what I'm most concerned about is how our aircraft carrier plan is going, this is the guarantee that we will dominate the world in the future!"

"President, the first modified aircraft carrier has been completed at the Qinzhou Shipyard, and the Chongqing Aircraft Design Bureau has also produced the first carrier-based aircraft, which will be tested soon, do you also go to Qinzhou to inspect it, this is an important day for the Chinese Navy, and the new aircraft carrier is still waiting for you to name it!"

China has taken a cautious attitude towards the development of aircraft carriers, starting with refit first, accumulating enough experience, and then independently designing aircraft carriers, after all, China has no experience in building large warships, and battleships still have to rely on Germany to help, and for aircraft carriers, the Germans have little experience, and can only rely on China to explore!

"I really should see, I'll leave for the south right away!" (To be continued.) )
