384 War Machine is the second to ask for a monthly pass, and to ask for a monthly pass

"Oh, was you unprepared to defeat you? So if the Germans had been more prepared, would they have won the war? Kai-shek, what do you think? Is it possible for Germany to win the next war? ”

"President, do you mean the next war?" Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only reacted for a while: "I think they still can't win, you must know that France has the most powerful army in the world, while Britain has the strongest navy, and Germany has nothing now." ”

"Luo Fuwen, what do you say?" A sly smile slipped across Sun Yat-sen's face.

"The Germans have the best industrial technology in the world, if they are well prepared and adopt appropriate strategies and tactics." Luo Yaoguo continued: "They should be able to defeat the most powerful French army and British navy in the world. ”

"Oh, in that case, the world would be turned upside down. That's what you're trying to do to turn China into a war machine, right? Sun Yat-sen picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of bitter coffee.

Just when the three men were talking about the war with gusto. The Song sisters, the flowers, were trying not to look at Natalie. Lesinskaya. They felt that this woman's every move was like seducing a man. And this Polish woman is actually not as beautiful as the legend, her skin does not seem to be delicate enough, and it is too white. The wavy brown hair with a bit of natural curvature is good, but unfortunately the combed hairstyle is a bit ridiculous. In addition, the legendary graceful and good figure now looks completely developed and somewhat deformed, and it must be a typical big-chested and brainless. The big-chested Natalie was now listening to the topic of war with her ears stretched out, and when she heard Luo Yaoguo say that Germany could defeat France, she couldn't help but frown. France is Poland's backstage boss, and if the backstage is defeated, what will happen to Poland? When the topic of war finally ended, everyone stood up and followed Sun Yat-sen to the elevator, and then took the elevator to the restaurant on the third floor. The window facing the garden was deliberately open, and the rich fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind, mixed with the aroma of a plate of various flowers placed in the center of the table.

"Oh, it's a good day," Sun Yat-sen said loudly as they took their seats, "the United States has agreed to our country's complete tariff autonomy." In the near future, our northern regions will also be able to apply the same protective tariffs as in the south. It seems that the United States is still willing to maintain friendly relations with us. He took a sip of wine and ate some cold dishes, and everyone ate with them, and Sun Yat-sen said: "Now the negotiations with Britain and France are relatively smooth, and even Japan may agree." By next year, we may be able to achieve tariff autonomy nationwide. When the time comes, should we establish a unified national customs? ”

With Sun Yat-sen's words, there was a round of applause in the restaurant. Achieving tariff autonomy was clearly the beginning of the abolition of unequal treaties and a major diplomatic victory. The Beiyang government has always wanted to do it but has not done it, and Sun Yat-sen has made a breakthrough after only a month as president, which is obviously a good sign.

As soon as the applause stopped, Sun Yat-sen's voice sounded again: "Of course, tariff autonomy is not unconditional. According to the agreement reached with the United States, the centigold bureaus in all parts of North China will be abolished, and the centigold will be changed to a uniform 'unified tax' levied at 10. Moreover, the central government intends to establish a northern customs area, which will be collected by the Ministry of Finance of the coalition government, which will then be divided among the provinces. ”

"The Great President...... In this case, wouldn't part of the finances of the northern factions be controlled by the central government? Luo Yaoguo was very sensitive to the deep meaning implied in it. This is the central government's use of tariffs to stretch its tentacles into the purse of the powerful factions in the north, and if part of the finances of these powerful factions is controlled by the central government, then they will have to be more subservient. …,

Sun Yat-sen nodded and said happily: "In addition to the customs to be under the control of the central government, we also plan to promote the fiat currency to the northern provinces and gradually abolish the paper money issued by each faction on its own." ”

"Oh, did the factions agree? At the moment, they all seem to have their own money printing machines, and there is nothing in the world that can get money faster than printing money. Luo Yaoguo asked lightly turning the wine glass in his hand.

"This matter is beyond them, except for the fiat currency in the ruling area of China G, which can't enter, on the territory of the other factions, our fiat currency has long been hard currency." Sun Yat-sen smiled, and then said: "Luo Fuwen, what do you rely on when you say that our territory has developed so well in recent years?" Stable environment? A single currency? Protective tariffs? So-so and still a diligent government? Or something else that I hadn't thought of? ”

"President, all of this is indispensable for economic development under the capitalist system, in addition to the huge domestic market, abundant resources, and sufficient labor force. With so many favorable conditions, it is not surprising that it can be developed, and it is strange that it cannot be developed. ”

"So can the North develop now?" Sun Yat-sen looked at Luo Yaoguo with his wise and divine eyes, waiting for his answer.

"It's hard to say, but at the moment the north is still a situation of warlord separatism, and it has not really settled down. It's just a temporary truce to look at the face of the big president. Luo Yaoguo said with a very serious face: "If you want to truly unify China, I'm afraid it is inevitable to fight." ”

"Alas...... Sun Yat-sen shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this is also one of the purposes of your overall war system and national spiritual mobilization, right?" ”

"The Great President." Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly answered the question before Luo Yaoguo, lest tonight's banquet become a place for dialogue between Sun Yat-sen and Luo Yaoguo.

It was the uniformed attendant who cleared the table, and then brought up a steaming roasted whole lamb. A white-hatted cook followed in, carefully slicing the roast lamb with a knife. into a bowl of silver. Each slice of lamb is oily and has an enticing aroma, and the addition of cumin and secret spices will make the full house even more appetizing.

Sun Yat-sen picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, and said with a smile: "Well, it tastes good, this barbecue in Beijing is no worse than our Guangdong's, it should be said that it has its own characteristics." This roast lamb master is the most famous and ancestral craft in Beijing. If he has to use our Cantonese method to roast it, you say, can he still bake such a delicious food? ”

These words are said lightly, but they contain deep meaning. Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek could naturally hear it, and the two of them glanced at each other, and Luo Yaoguo spoke: "Does the president mean that he doesn't want us to use force to solve the northern problem in the future?" ”

"There is a cloud in the art of war: a soldier who surrenders without a fight is also good for good. Besides, it's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build. Sun Yat-sen took a sip of wine, smiled slightly, and said: "Now we will first find a way to build the south well, so that the people can see the real benefits of the Three People's Principles, and then come to achieve the goal of peaceful reunification through negotiations." It's better to fight less in this civil war, after all, Japan and the Soviet Union are still eyeing each other."

"It is precisely because they are eyeing each other that we have to implement a general war system, and if we establish such a system, we may be able to deter war, so it can be regarded as a soldier who surrenders without a fight, right?" Seeing the cracks, Luo Yaoguo hurriedly interjected, and began to peddle his overall battle again:

"At the beginning of the last world war, the European powers immediately carried out a general mobilization in their respective countries, and thus mobilized millions of troops in a very short time, providing enough troops to sustain the war. Imagine if the next world war broke out between us and Japan and the Soviet Union. Japan and the Soviet Union, two countries that have already established and perfected their overall warfare systems, will certainly carry out general mobilization as soon as possible. Based on the experience of the last world war, the total number of troops tapped by the general mobilization of each country basically exceeded 6 or more of its total population. If Japan alone can achieve such a general mobilization in the next war, then they will probably be able to mobilize a huge army of more than 5 million men in a very short period of time, and how much will the total strength of our country be even if you count the warlords of the northern factions? But about 1.7 million. These forces are simply not enough to withstand the attack of five million Japanese troops before a new army is formed, and then we are afraid that we will be destroyed"...,

Dead silence. When everyone heard the somewhat exaggerated figure of five million Japanese soldiers, they lost their appetite for a while, and their eyes were staring at Luo Yaoguo's face, as if they were looking at aliens. In fact, the five million Japanese troops reported by Luo Yaoguo were not unrealistic. In history, the largest size of the Japanese army reached more than 6 million, and the number of squadrons at that time was only more than 5 million on the books, in fact...... I am afraid that there are only more than 3 million, but fortunately, the Japanese did not immediately carry out the general mobilization on July 7, 1937. Otherwise, only God knows what this war will look like. But in this time and space, history has changed, and in the face of a China that is almost beginning to rise, will the Japanese still be so arrogant that they can end the war in three months without general mobilization?

After a long while, Sun Yat-sen turned his face to Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting on the left side of Soong Meiling: "What do you think of Kai-shek?" Is it possible that the Japanese will mobilize an army of five million? That number sounds a bit scary. If they can really do that, our overall war system really needs to be established. ”

"President, Japan now has a population of 70 or 80 million, and according to their propaganda, they have more than 300,000 active army troops, more than 3 million soldiers in rural areas, 5 or 600,000 middle and upper class students, and more than 10 million young people. But...... To equip so many troops with sophisticated equipment is something that a resource-poor island country like Japan cannot afford. ”

"Oh, there really is" Sun Yat-sen frowned: "Then will they come to attack us?" ”

"If you take a closer look at the Japanese nation." Luo Yaoguo said in the tone of a funeral director: "Sooner or later, they will come to attack, and there is no way to avoid it." ”

"But aren't we already on the rise now?" Sun Yat-sen's face was slightly pale: "Is Japan so sure that it can defeat us?" ”

"Were they sure they would have defeated the Manchus back then? Is it certain that Tsarist Russia will be defeated? Besides, if we don't have a system of total warfare, how can they not be sure to defeat us? Even five million Japanese devils with rifles were a very terrible force In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan mobilized more than a million troops, and some of them didn't even have rifles, didn't they still defeat Tsarist Russia? Luo Yaoguo shrugged his shoulders and gave the example of the Russo-Japanese War.

"Well, I believe it now." Sun Yat-sen sighed: "It seems that if we don't engage in an overall war system and don't take that militaristic road, we may be doomed." So tell me, how much force can we mobilize if we build this overall warfare system? How much time will it take? ”

"There are about 350 million to 400 million Chinese on the territory of the National Government, and if we calculate according to the standard of 6, the final force that can be mobilized should be more than 20 million people, and we strive to establish a perfect overall war system within 10 years." Luo Yaoguo said his goal very frankly, which sounded a bit crazy about the army of more than 20 million people

There was a soft exclamation in the restaurant, and everyone cast a surprised look at Luo Yaoguo again, as if they were looking at a strange person.

"Well, don't look at me like that, my face doesn't bloom." Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said a joke. Then he said seriously: "Isn't our biggest advantage in China that there are many people?" The advantage of a large population is reflected in the military, and naturally there are more troops, and from this point of view, the overall war system and the national mobilization plan are actually the most beneficial to China, so we must establish them. As long as we have this system, we will definitely be able to become a big winner in the next world war and reap enough benefits. If we don't do it, I'm afraid it will be a crime against history and future generations. ”…,

"The next world war? Who fights with whom? When will it start? Sun Yat-sen's eyebrows tightened.

"Who else? Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Soviet Union, the United States, us, oh, and Poland. Luo Yaoguo glanced at the beauties beside him, smiled slightly, and said, "All the powerful countries in the world must be involved." As for the time...... I think it will be 10 to 15 years from now. ”

Of course, Luo Yaoguo knew the time when World War II broke out, but in this time and space, history has changed, who knows if it will affect the time of the outbreak of World War II?

Sun Yat-sen smiled: "Oh, there are still ten years of peace, and the people of the world should cherish this time." We in China should also cherish this decade, and if we can be reunified by that time, we will establish a general war system, and heavy industry will also go further. In this way, we can probably prevent the flames of war from burning our land, right? If only it could be like the United States in the last war. Stay out of the way, make a lot of war money, and finally join in at the most critical moment. That's great, don't you? ”

"That's what we're after." Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek were busy echoing Sun Yat-sen, although they both knew that most of such wishful thinking was going to fail, but no one was willing to ruin his interest at this time.

"But Luo Fuwen doesn't seem to have said who will attack whom in the next war?" This voice carried a little Wu Nong's soft language, which was very pleasant, and it turned out that Song Qingling, who had never spoken, was asking: "I heard a friend of Zhong G say that the country most likely to be attacked by imperialism now is the Soviet Union. The next world war may be a coalition of imperialism against the Soviet Union. When the time comes...... We're not going to get involved, are we? ”

"We attack the USSR?" Luo Yaoguo chuckled and shook his hand: "In fact, if they don't attack, we will already burn high incense." A powerful country like the Soviet Union will definitely not be the first country to be attacked, on the contrary, they should be the one who started the war" Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo glanced at Natalie beside him again, in history, her motherland Poland was sandwiched between the two most powerful land powers in the world at the beginning, and there was almost no doubt that the country would die. In this time and space, it is estimated that he is still not saved.

"What if...... Imperialism has given you enough benefits, and you will not participate in the war against the Soviet Union? Song Qingling couldn't help but ask again.

Luo Yaoguo looked at Sun Yat-sen, and when he saw him nodding in agreement, he smiled slightly and said: "The Soviet Union is an industrialized country that is far more powerful than us, with a vast territory, rich resources, and a population of more than 100 million and nearly 200 million. The war potential of such a country, if fully mobilized, is terrifying, and the core of the USSR is not in Siberia, nor in the Far East, but in its European part. So if imperialism wants to attack, it will also start from the east, that is, from Natalie's homeland Poland. Moreover, the decisive significance of the war was also the gains and losses of the western part of the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union had won the western theater, we would not have joined the anti-Soviet war in any way. Suppose that the Soviet Union suffered a complete defeat in the west and lost Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Donetsk...... Then the Soviet Union is going to fall, and we will naturally inherit a little from the dying empire, and inheriting from the dying empire is the principle that we will pursue in the next world war. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yat-sen tilted his head back and laughed: "This principle is good, I like it very much." Those empires' property in Asia was originally taken from us, and if they wandan, it seems natural for us to inherit it, so it's good, I agree with the overall war system and the mobilization of the national spirit, Kai-shek, Fuwen, you can do it. ”
