The countries of the world are very sensitive to the war in the Far East, China's strength has attracted the attention of all countries, a huge shadow has appeared in the east of the world, there are countries that are strong, there are countries that are declining, which is almost inevitable, China is strong, and the corresponding is the serious recession of Britain and France.

Although the final negotiations have not yet been held, everyone knows that France has lost the three Indochinese countries, the support point in the Far East has completely disappeared, this country has been excluded from the South Sea colonial system, the lips are cold, France is finished, the situation of Britain is becoming more and more difficult, and at the same time the situation in the Netherlands is also not good, Japan has created several conflicts in a row, and if it were not for China's fierce opposition, the Japanese would have established the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

The situation of the French army in Saigon is becoming more and more difficult, the encirclement of China is becoming more and more tight, the neck of the French government seems to be choked, it is becoming more and more difficult, and the hundreds of thousands of troops overseas are about to be destroyed, but France cannot effectively protect these people, which is very fatal, a large number of people Zou Sang protested on the streets, and the opposition parties also took the opportunity to stand up against it.

They had innumerable reasons to oppose the French government, and the crushing defeat of the army was not the result of the government's incompetence; Unable to guarantee the safety of the sea, and sending hundreds of thousands of troops to the east, isn't this sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger; Why the government has not coordinated with the Western world to impose strong sanctions against China is a clear diplomatic misstep......

French Prime Minister Daladier became anxious in the face of all kinds of criticism, left and right, in fact, he was also full of grievances, unable to speak, this time France failed so quickly mostly because of the navy, at the important moment of the transformation of maritime power to aircraft carriers, France is walking behind because of financial difficulties, there are not enough aircraft carriers, there is no hegemony at sea, this is also a major mistake in French strategy.

Another important issue was the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, which attracted the attention of both Britain and the United States. The position of Europe could not be more important than that of the Far East. In particular, Spain held the Strait of Gibraltar, the most important maritime fortress in the world, and the lifeblood of the British Empire.

The two sides of the Spanish Civil War, the pro-Soviet left-wing coalition on the one hand, and the pro-German right-wing forces on the other, were both scourges in the eyes of Britain and France, and it would be best if the two scourges could be brought to the end together.

So Britain adopted a neutral attitude towards the Spanish Civil War, and to put it bluntly, it was to sit on the sidelines. They have seen the threat, but they are wishful thinking that a laissez-faire attitude will lead to a final reversal of the face of Germany and the Soviet Union, and that the two countries will fight to the death, and then the British Empire will come out and clean up the mess and remain the world leader.

I have to say that this is a wishful thinking, persimmon pick up soft pinch. Repeatedly exposing your cowardice will only make the enemy look down on you and completely trample you underfoot.

The Spanish Civil War did relieve a lot of pressure on China's expansionist actions, nearly half a million Chinese troops swept through the three Indochinese countries, Cambodia and Laos fell into Chinese control, and the other large armies were gathered, and now France only had a stronghold in Saigon.

The Paris direction did not want these soldiers to surrender, but could not afford to lose tens of thousands of people. So it's deadlocked here. China did not take the initiative to attack, but began to play wantonly with this prey like a cat.

After a complete severance of external contacts. China began to use low-flying aircraft to harass, and the loud noise and real death threats made the French soldiers exhausted, and at this time, China continued to throw away a large number of photos of the French people marching, telling the families of these soldiers to wait for them and not to make unnecessary sacrifices.

This propaganda offensive was still very effective, and the French military spirit had been dispersed, and hundreds of people fled from Saigon every day and voluntarily surrendered to China, and Saigon was already crumbling.

China has also put forward a request for peace talks to France through the United States, and under such conditions, the French have no other way out, and they can only negotiate if they cannot fight, and the French also know that the negotiations are bound to suffer humiliation now, but not to mention that these more than 100,000 lives are in China's hands, and if they cannot save people, they are afraid that the surging public opinion will swallow up the government.

At this time, China has mastered the absolute advantage, there is not much suspense in the negotiations, Qiao Yu handed over the matter to Gu Weijun to deal with, China's bottom line is very clear, that is, to hand over all the three Indo-Chinese countries to China, and all the property controlled by France must also be handed over to China, as for other things, it doesn't matter.

China has not issued reparations and other conditions, nothing is precious, how much money is just a lottery, what really makes China excited is the land of the Indochina Peninsula, especially the Mekong Delta, which is also the most abundant water and heat area, as long as it is developed, this is a huge granary, the Chinese has exceeded 500 million, and the growth rate is still at a very high level.

During the First and Second Five-Year Plan periods, it is not surprising that China's population has grown exponentially, as food production has continued to increase, medical care has continued to improve, infant survival rates have skyrocketed, and there is relatively sufficient food.

However, the rapid increase in population has also put tremendous pressure on the government, so many scholars have even come out to hope that the Chinese government will implement measures to limit population growth, and that China's land can support a maximum of 700 million people based on grain yield, which China can achieve within 20 years, and then Chinese will face the fate of having no food to eat.

Qiao Yu does not agree with this kind of research, because Qiao Yu knows very well that there is still a lot of room for growth in grain production, according to the calculation of future generations, China's current territory carries a population of 1.5 billion people without any problems, of course, this growth rate can not be too fast, it is best to use fifty or sixty years to achieve growth, which can not only provide China with a steady stream of demographic dividends, but also allow the government to deal with it calmly, and also provide enough time for the development of science and technology.

It is necessary to appropriately restrict births, of course, Qiao Yu did not take compulsory measures, but to increase the screening of films nationwide, the more remote areas, and at the same time install radios for the people and set up various cultural activity rooms.

In addition, the development of industrialization and the improvement of women's status are also conducive to limiting the increase in population and allowing women to come out of the family. Go to all kinds of jobs. Supporting half of the society and having your own business, you don't have to go out of the door all day long.

Of course, these measures can only be subtle and will not have an immediate effect, so Qiao Yu must make another preparation, that is, to expand the territory. With more land to carry too many people, the value of a Mekong Delta that can be developed to feed at least 100 million people is really incalculable.

Both the Chinese government and the military are thoroughly attracted by this huge interest, and the voices of expansion are getting louder, and the army wants to make a difference on the battlefield. The government wants to use the new territory to absorb the contradictions, so they are all strongly advocating the seizure of more territory.

In the midst of this call, Qiao Yu's mind is very clear, expansion is not impossible, but the timing must be found, especially not excessive, and more importantly, national politics cannot be kidnapped, militarism has no good end. Therefore, Qiao Yu tried his best to control these sounds.

China must not be like Germany and Japan. Endless expansion, turning itself into a public enemy of the world. But China can follow the example of the United States and reap the dividends of war.

There are now two wars that can provide great benefits to China, one is the war between Abyssinia and Italy, and the other is the Spanish Civil War.

Emperor Selassie of Abyssinia had already made a request to China for a large supply of weapons, all of which could be pledged with their resources.

In addition, Zhang Xueliang also sent a report to China: After more than a year of fighting, the military quality of the Afghan army has improved rapidly, and it has learned a trace of the essence of guerrilla warfare, and the entire armed force has grown to more than 500,000, and most of the rural areas are under their control, and the situation in Italy has become more and more difficult.

Zhang Xueliang boldly predicted that in just three to five years, the Afghan army would be able to bring down the Italians, so it is very cost-effective to increase investment now.

After Qiao Yu solicited other suggestions, he formulated a comprehensive aid plan, in which within three years China will provide 1 million rifles, 100 million rounds of ammunition, 500,000 mines, in addition to a large number of heavy machine guns, mortars, grenadiers and other weapons, and if necessary, China can also provide tanks and planes.

In order to cope with the new world war, China must upgrade its arsenal, but these eliminated old goods also have advantages, that is, they are durable, simple to operate, and are very suitable for the use of the Afghan army under the military quality.

After a long period of observation, China has decided to make Abyssinia a frontier position that affects Africa, so the investment is also naturally increased, not to mention that it can also be exchanged for the mineral resources in Abyssinia, which is a matter that does not lose money, and it is really unreasonable for Italy to not bully such a fish belly.

If Abyssinia is a long-term interest, then Spain is an immediate interest, China has long sent Xu Shuzheng to communicate with Germany to sell Chinese arms to Spain, for Spain, China cannot sell rags, but to take out the equipment in service, even the most advanced weapons.

Any kind of weapon must pass through the battlefield to be able to test the due performance, now Spain has gathered German-made equipment, Soviet-made equipment, in addition to a large number of British and French weapons, and even the United States has secretly intervened, sending weapons to Spain, the reason why countries are so enthusiastic is to use Spain as a platform to test the performance of weapons in various countries, which is better or worse.

Then, according to the confrontation situation on the battlefield, find your own shortcomings, explore the mystery of the opponent's equipment, until now the final division between the countries of the world has not been completed, but the preliminary camp has shown the prototype, so it is important to find the opponent's weaknesses.

China could not be absent from this most important arena, especially after China's defeat of France, the status of equipment has skyrocketed, the first batch of equipment worth four million has been shipped from Shanghai, and then China has more weapons to be sent to Spain to be tested in this international arena.
