As soon as the order was given to expand the army, all parts of China were mobilized, and high-quality soldiers were continuously sent to the army, and the amount of applications far exceeded the actual number of China's military expansion, so it had to be strictly screened, and only the best people could become members of the Chinese National Defense Force.

Over the years, in addition to building the hard power of the army, Qiao Yu has also vigorously advocated the spirit of martial arts and improved the treatment of the army, which has become a basic national policy of the Chinese government.

In the prosperous era of the Han and Tang dynasties, even a scholar can draw a sword in a rage, kill the enemy and defend the country, earlier the Confucian six arts include archery, driving chariots and other martial arts content, after the Song and Ming dynasties, Chinese warriors are more and more suppressed, the status is far lower than the dance and ink scholars, to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has become a slave, not to mention the martial spirit.

If you want to be martial, you must first improve the treatment of soldiers, as early as Sichuan, Qiao Yu raised the treatment of soldiers to a very high level, there is no reason to shed blood and work hard to earn less than those who sell words, of course, money is only one aspect, and it is more important to give soldiers all kinds of preferential treatment, such as soldiers have priority in various public places, enjoy free medical security, education subsidies for children, veterans can have priority access to local councils and so on.

In short, Qiao Yu has given great care to the interests of the military, and soldiers can also learn cultural technology in the army, and now China is the time for the great development of all walks of life, opportunities are everywhere, after training, and can bear hardships and stand hard work veterans soon began to start a business in the local area.

The government gives them preferential loans, government procurement will also be inclined to them, after years of hard work, soldiers can not only get honor, but also can get actual benefits, has become a very comfortable group, of course, this comfort is only in peacetime, once the war breaks out, they still have to be ready to throw their heads at any time, spill blood!

But for ordinary people in society. Entering the military is already an important way for them to change their lives. From then on, even some risks are well worth it, such as the more generous and more stimulating air force and navy, which are even more popular!

On the one hand, China is busy recruiting troops, and on the other hand, the arsenal is at full power, and the momentum of military expansion is very violent, and what makes the great powers even more confused is the Qinzhou shipyard. Everyone knows that it is the largest base of China's shipbuilding industry, and new Chinese warships will inevitably appear in Qinzhou.

But everyone only knows that the docks in Qinzhou are constantly expanding, and the number is constantly increasing, in addition to Qinzhou, Dalian, Qingdao. Fuzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places have shipyards either under construction, or have begun to put into production, China's shipbuilding capacity has been greatly improved, civilian ships have exceeded 100,000 tons.

The capacity of warships also exceeds 30,000 tons, of course, the main thing is to build cruisers and destroyers, and the main warships have not yet been put into production. But the numbers are already staggering. If this momentum continues, China's shipbuilding industry will have a tremendous development within a few years. Or even leapfrogging up.

After evaluation, the countries did not doubt China's naval expansion plan, and Japan, which reacted most fiercely, began to design a new battleship, and the ambitious Japanese were ready to raise this warship to 50,000 tons, completely surpassing all the current battleships in the world.

In the Washington Conference, Japan retained the right to build a warship, and now it is used, but the great powers did not expect that Japan would be so crazy that it would increase the tonnage to 50,000 tons at once, and Japan would also increase the caliber of the main gun to 460 mm, and Japan also asked to increase the number of aircraft carriers!

The problems facing the great powers are already very urgent, and the actions of China and Japan to expand their navies have in fact declared that the results of the Washington Conference have become a dead letter, and there are not many ways for the great powers to do so, and they either take force to make China and Japan abandon their plans for military expansion, or they themselves do not hesitate to keep up and drag the whole world into a new arms race, and there is no third way at all.

Now that the world economy has emerged from the post-war depression, everyone has a lot of money in their hands, and once it became possible to expand armaments, various countries are brewing plans to expand their armed forces one after another, and the international atmosphere is becoming more and more grim.

However, China's top brass knows very well that this military expansion is only a half-truth, and the expansion of the army and air force is real, but it is not a large increase in the number of people as advertised, and China's main purpose is to establish a powerful armored group, and the combat capability of armored forces is increasingly respected in the Chinese army.

Tanks that are both offensive and defensive, and have outstanding mobility and protection capabilities will certainly become the king of a new generation of land warfare, and with good equipment and mature tactics, China has vast fields, which happen to be the best place for practicing armored tactics, especially in the vast Gobi in the northwest, where there are no people for hundreds of miles, and it is just right to be able to conduct long-distance maneuver and detour training.

China is not so much about expanding the army as it is about strengthening the army, getting the army out of a loose state, entering a state of combat readiness, familiarizing itself with new equipment, practicing new tactics, and Qiao Yu took this opportunity to send all the old officers left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the military academy and return to the furnace to build another one.

If they can keep up with the changes of the times, these people can continue to serve as officers, if they can't keep up with the pace of the times, they can only be ruthlessly eliminated, and Qiao Yu has also carried out a lot of changes in the country's army, and the command system for the cause of disruption!

Small groups must be resolutely avoided in the Defence Force, and the central Government must ensure that every unit is under the command of the arm, and that there must be no situation in which command is immobile.

This is also the inevitable choice for the Chinese army to strengthen the regularization of the construction, although the navy propaganda is more and more, and it is becoming more and more high-profile, but China is actually playing a trick of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, for the battleship Qiao Yu plans to build one is enough, the other two in the so-called plan, and even the battleships of the next level are all things on paper, and the aircraft carrier China is preparing to build a special one.

After the launch of the first real domestic aircraft carrier, China will build three aircraft carriers at a time, and they are all big guys with a displacement of 30,000 tons, the aircraft carrier is a system engineering, I don't know how to build a ship, but also to have an escort fleet, but also to have a powerful carrier-based aircraft, this is the key factor in combat effectiveness, Feng Ru and Ba Yuzao, the two most powerful aircraft design teams in China, are stepping up their actions.

China has designed a Hummingbird fighter to represent the first generation of carrier-based aircraft, and now it is mainly about building an all-metal monoplane. Faster. The flight altitude is higher, the bomb load is larger, and only then can it deal with the battleships with thick skin and flesh.

It is expected that China's first self-built aircraft carrier will be launched in two years, and three more aircraft carriers will be launched within five years, bringing the total number of Chinese aircraft carriers to more than five, and if all goes well, carrier-based aircraft will be able to take shape. The Chinese Navy also has the strength to compete with Japan!

Qiao Yu's purpose during this period of time is to drag the world into an arms race, as long as the great powers are allowed to build those big and inappropriate battleships, consuming their energy and financial resources, Qiao Yu knows better that the economic crisis is not far away, if the countries are dragged into the naval race at this time, wait until the economic crisis comes. A country like Japan will inevitably embark on the road of militarism even more frantically, and when Japan is completely isolated from the world, it will be time for China to eradicate this enemy.

While the arms race is increasingly the focus of the world's attention, the Geneva conference has become less remarkable, with the Chinese already bargaining with the French and the negotiating table arguing over each other. But France is clearly at a disadvantage.

Who put them at a strategic disadvantage? The rapid offensive of Nguyen Aiguo and others against Hanoi also became more and more fierce, and various guerrilla groups emerged in the three Indochinese countries one after another. Let the French run for their lives.

Moreover, the domestic anti-war cries have been rising wave after wave, and France has also carried out repeated studies, and almost all sane politicians believe that crossing thousands of miles and fighting China in the Far East is looking for death, and the huge logistical pressure will soon drag down France, and China is no longer a decadent Manchu Qing at this time, and there can be no more pie that cannot be defeated.

On the contrary, the cost of continuing to drag on the command was even greater, and even the complete loss of control of Indochina, and finally the French had to back down at the negotiating table, and France agreed to return Canton Bay to China immediately.

After taking back Guangzhou Bay, China took another big step on the road to regaining sovereignty, and for Vietnam, China and France also reached a partition agreement, with 17 degrees north latitude as the boundary, France controlled the south, and the north established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, nominally the country is independent, but it is subject to China's protection.

China has completely achieved its pre-war goals, and the loss of North Vietnam by France is equivalent to spitting out a large piece of fat from its mouth, especially the defeat in the war, which made France hide its face and can only lick its wounds alone.

On the very day of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, China sent a diplomatic note to Vietnam, demanding that Vietnam put all the islands off the coast under Chinese control, lease the port of Haiphong to China, and the Lang Son area to be guarded by Chinese garrisons.

The Vietnamese section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has been comprehensively renovated and upgraded to standard gauge, allowing China to station troops along the line, and China has requested that Haiphong Port be turned into a China-Vietnam Free Trade Zone, allowing Chinese businessmen to move in!

This series of conditions, without accident, is to tell the Vietnamese that you are not independent at all, but have changed a master, a more powerful master, each condition is very fatal, after Nguyen Aiguo received the note, his face turned pale, he finally understood what is called the face of an imperialist country, and now he can't help but ask himself whether it was a good choice to choose to cooperate with China in the first place, isn't this a wolf into the room!

Of course, China will not care what Ruan Aiguo thinks, in fact, the Chinese Navy has begun to renovate the port of Haiphong, which is located in the western part of the Beibu Gulf, and after China took this place, the entire Beibu Gulf has completely become China's inland sea, and the Chinese Navy finally has a solid and reliable rear.

After the news that Haiphong Port has become a free trade zone, the most excited is the Nanyang Chinese, the motherland is moving towards Nanyang step by step, with the strong military support of the motherland, they can not only live better, but also through Haiphong, the Nanyang material resources continue to send to China.

You must know that with the development of China's domestic industry, the demand for raw materials is very huge, and Southeast Asia is a treasure trove of rich resources, which just complements China! (To be continued.) )
