Chapter 328: World Industry
Conventional weapons production capacity, after twenty-four years of development, and also with the help of the Red Alert base. The speed of development is as if it is open.
When Chen Shao first came to southwest China, all the weapons and equipment on the land of China were imported, and the domestic production capacity was zero. However, 24 years later, China's weapons production capacity can already reach the top spot in the world. However, there is a premise for saying this, that is, the current United States, after the destruction of the economic crisis and Chen Shao's stab in the back, the current United States has a much weaker industrial capacity than later generations. However, after Roosevelt came to power, this situation changed very quickly, and the industrial capacity of the United States was rapidly recovering.
Of course, at present, it is only a little ahead of the United States, and it has an advantage but not much. If China's industrial capacity is stopped now, it is very likely that it will be surpassed by the United States in less than two years. At that time, the United States was still the world's number one industrial power. It's just that China will definitely not stand still.
According to the report in Chen Shao's hand, China's industrial capacity has reached a point where the world is moved. Of course, what moved them was not China's industrial capacity, but the speed of development. After all, starting from scratch, in just 24 years, China has ascended to the position of the world's largest industrial power, how can it not be moving.
Since his family knows his own affairs, Chen Shao knows very well that if there is no help from the Red Police Base, China will be given another 24 years to see if it can surpass the United States. After all, starting from scratch, all kinds of science and technology industries don't understand anything, and the development is naturally like a turtle. However, with the Red Alert base, all kinds of factories and technologies seem to fall from the sky, and they are picked up casually on the street. It is precisely with the Red Police Base, a powerful plug-in on the road of China's development, that China has today's status. Otherwise, even if Chen Shao was a perfect ghost who knew everything, and all kinds of science and technology were at his fingertips, China would not have developed so fast.
Some things don't mean that you can figure them out if you understand them, or catch up with and surpass an old industrial powerhouse. In a mere twenty-four years, this is obviously impossible.
Just like the United States in later generations, on the surface, it seems that the United States has very little shipbuilding, and it cannot catch up with many developing countries. Can you say that his industrial production capacity is not good? Just like Vietnam in later generations, it claimed that it could launch tens of millions of tons of steamships every year, and tens of millions of tons of ships completely threw the United States off countless streets. However, the tens of millions of tons in this are not only the volume tonnage, but also the tens of millions of tons of ships built annually by Vietnam can only be regarded as the assembly volume. Buy parts and come back to assemble them and earn a little assembly fee. It doesn't even have any intellectual property rights, and if it really asks it to build a 100,000-ton oil tanker on its own, it is estimated that it will hold back for several years. Can this be said that Vietnamese industry is very powerful?
No, although the United States launches very little water every year, it should be noted that the United States can launch a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in a few years, and it has never stopped. It is also the only country in the world that has the ability to build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, can you say that he has poor industrial production capacity? You must know that a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier is not comparable to civilian ships, and it is not two things in the same world at all. There is a world of difference between technology and technology.
And now China surpasses the United States, and it is an all-round industrial capacity. It's not the kind of stuff that Vietnam boasts about. The industrial capacity of a country also depends on the production capacity of its officers. Of course, there is another factor that is closely related to industry, and that is the degree of resource self-sufficiency. It seems that Japan in later generations or Japan today has a strong industrial capacity, but all industrial raw materials need to be imported, which is quite restrictive. It's easy to be controlled by others, just like Japan now, steel is basically imported from China, if China doesn't bird it one day, and blockade Japan's maritime communications, then Japan's industry will basically burp.
Why Chen Shao keeps comparing himself with the United States, that is, because the United States itself is very strong in industrial capacity and resource self-sufficiency. Moreover, the United States is also the natural enemy of China's rise, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it. Just like later generations, the United States also used the China threat theory to talk about things, and also regarded China as its main adversary in the future. This is the United States has nothing to do when it is full, no, because in times of peace, if a country has no enemies, it is really dangerous. There is no opponent, and it is possible to make opponents. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States needed to find a new opponent, and it happened that China was developing rapidly, so it locked its eyes on China. This is an inevitable trend.
To develop itself, China also needs an enemy, Germany is a good choice, and of course the United States is better. This is a great world, and whoever can dominate this great world will earn the status of the world's leader in the smallest number of centuries. The United States is China's number one opponent, and Germany, Chen Shao will not let the world have two military blocs that can confront each other, and there will always be only one boss. Therefore, Chen Shaocai has never planned to form an alliance with Germany, after all, the reputation of tearing up the alliance is unpleasant. Moreover, in order not to let Germany use the benefits of the war to grow too strongly, China has the United States as an opponent, and he also needs a country to be an opponent for Germany, and the Soviet Union is a very good choice. As for Britain, France, Japan and other countries, either they have declined, or their strength is not enough, just play soy sauce, and it is not their turn to decide the world situation.
At present, China's production capacity, regardless of other aspects, has completely surpassed that of the United States in the production capacity of land and air conventional weapons alone. Today, if China produces weapons and equipment in large quantities, it can produce 10,000 aircraft and 5,000 tanks a year. This is not the limit value, and it can be doubled if the peak of production is fully reached.
And the current production capacity of the United States is obtained from the spies according to Chen Shao, after all, the current military strength of the United States is not good, and it is inferior to the current Poland. However, according to the latest intelligence, if the United States produces weapons and equipment on a large scale, it can reach 90% of China's output. If all the industrial capacity is converted to military use, it will be able to produce nearly 20,000 aircraft and nearly 10,000 tanks a year. The peak of World War II in the United States was 40,000 planes and 20,000 tanks per year, twice as much as it is now.
As the third oldest in the world, Germany's industrial capacity cannot be underestimated, and it can reach 40% of China's at this time, which is much stronger than Germany in World War II in later generations. And compared with Germany in World War II in later generations, Germany now has a great advantage, that is, China is constantly selling weapons and equipment to it behind it. Therefore, compared with later generations, Germany is more than a little stronger now.
The industrial capacity of the Soviet Union could be tied for third place with Germany, and it could also reach 40% of China's at this time, and there was not much difference between it and later generations. However, in terms of weapons development, the pace was much faster than that of World War II in later generations. At this time, the Soviet Union also had the ability to confront Germany.
Britain and France were alone in Europe, and their domestic economies were sluggish, and a large part of their economy and resources were maintained by the support of the colonies and the United States. Industrial capacity also suffered a severe decline in the economic crisis and has not yet recovered. Britain is two percent, and France estimates that one and a half percent is about the same.
Japan is the second country in Asia, but it can only rank seventh in the world. Mainly because of the small land area and the shortage of resources, it is impossible to develop large-scale industry. The current industrial capacity is 10% of China's.
Italy's industrial capacity is also tragic, but with the support of Germany, it can barely stay in the eighth place in the world. The industrial production capacity is 0.8% of China's.
In Chen Shao's hands, there is also a proportion chart of the world's leading industries.
According to the statistics of 1938, that is, before the outbreak of World War II, China accounted for 32% of the world's military industrial production, the United States accounted for 28.8% of the world's military industrial production, the Soviet Union accounted for 8% of the world's military industrial production, Germany accounted for 8% of the world's military industrial production, Britain accounted for **% of the world's military industrial production, France accounted for 4.8% of the world's military industrial production, Japan accounted for 3.2% of the world's military industrial production, Italy accounted for 2.6% of the world's military industrial production, and these eight countries accounted for 93.8% of the world's military industrial production and the rest of the rest is shared equally by the rest of the world.
It seems much simpler, as if eight organizations were beating each other. There are 32 members in this organization in China, 28 in the United States, and 8 in Soviet Union and Germany. Of course, everyone and everyone's abilities are similar across organizations.
Just like World War II in later generations, although there is a gap between these data and later generations, the gap is not very large.
In later generations, Poland was not on the list. It was as if it had one person, but Sud had sixteen of them, so there was no chance of being spared, and Sude decided without wasted effort.
At that time, China's strength could also be regarded as one, and Japan had a certain amount of capital to bully China, but this capital was not large, at most three to one. And its ambitions were too great, and it did not put all its forces into it, one on the defense of the USSR. At first, it was two against one. Later, Japan turned the spearhead to the United States. There was really only one person fighting China, and in the end it became one-on-one, so China and Japan fought a protracted war for eight years.
Japan's challenge to the United States is absolutely doomed, and the gap between the two sides is too great, and if two people fight with 28 people, the absolute difference is 26 people, and it is reasonable for Japan to lose in a mess.
Germany has a certain chance of winning by bullying France, it is eight against four, and the actual situation is also the same, using a blitzkrieg to beat France is a fierce beating, and soon occupy France.
After the German occupation of France, the eight men had a good chance of bullying the British six again, and this was also the case, and the British were almost on the verge of collapse in 1939-1941.
Germany and the Soviet Union fought, eight against eight, it can be said that it was a draw, and the actual situation is also the same, the two have attack and defense against each other, if it is not for the opening up of the second battlefield, the two will at most be a fiasco and a heavy victory. (According to World War II, the Soviet Union had several more than Germany, but Germany suddenly launched a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, and 50% of the Soviet Union's industry was taken over by Germany.) Add other factors before the two countries will be deadlocked. But after the United States entered the European War, Germany was absolutely doomed, because it was twenty-eight against eight, and if you add the British and Soviet people, it was only a matter of time before the United States won.
Of course, the above is just a metaphor, and there are many factors that determine the success or failure of war. It is not that industrial capacity can be completely determined, industrial capacity is only a very important factor. The war is mainly about people, and giving guns and weapons to a group of cowardly armies will definitely not be able to defeat a brave army composed of broadswords and spears.
