Outside Beilun Port, a string of four-wheeled light trucks drove by, so that Chen Shaokuan and Yan Baohang, who were sitting in the jeep, couldn't help but pay attention. Hangzhou Bay at the beginning of August is the busiest season, because the country's large and medium-sized truck production is occupied by military and aviation, so it is difficult to find a medium and large truck on the market. This situation has hit the national automobile industry hard, but it has led to the development of small automobile factories, only last year there were ten civilian automobile factories registered in the country, the main product is this kind of light truck of about half a ton. The exuberance brought about by the war was aberration, and the shortage of skilled workers inevitably led to a shortage of skilled workers after young men and professional workers were conscripted into the army, and the shortage of workers and the wartime bubble began to increase in the desperate expansion of production capacity in various factories. Economists have already predicted with great anxiety that because of the destruction of the free market economy by the wartime economy, all the major factories and civilian enterprises in the country are actually working for the army and the government, and the number of orders is large but the profits are meager, and there is little left after the payment of wages, resulting in insufficient investment in industrial technology. After the unlimited expansion of production capacity, once the war ends, there will inevitably be a surplus tide, and the wave of unemployment, discharge, etc. will break out after the war, and no one can grasp whether the economy of the Republic of China will regress or advance at that time, not even Yang Qiu. Therefore, when he was busy with military affairs, he insisted on coming to Hangzhou Bay to inspect the implementation progress of the 100,000 small factory plan. The 100,000 small factories were an important economic policy put forward before the war, hoping to use the war to speed up the process of industrialization, to prepare for the absorption of unemployed and veterans after the war, and to compete for the world market for future exports. According to the plan, the industrial sector will distribute all the hundreds of thousands of machine tools and equipment in domestic stocks to qualified individual workshops and small factories, use military orders to help them develop, and gradually phase them out using market-oriented competition. According to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce's projections, even if only 20,000 small factories can be left in the end, they will be able to absorb nearly one million unemployed workers and veterans. It can also greatly promote the industrial penetration rate of the Republic of China. Of course, 100,000 small factories are just the beginning, and what is more important is whether the export of goods can be smooth after the war, which is also an important reason why Yang Qiu is dedicated to the Asian League and writes commodity exports into the Cairo Declaration. Asia is the world's most populous state, and as long as the population of the Republic of China can be firmly grasped, even if Europe and the United States remain the same, it can greatly promote exports.

The Republic of China is not invincible. While the army was winning one after another, the internal pressure gradually appeared. Moreover, it should be said that the economy of the Republic of China is in a period of transition from a planned economy to an all-market economy, and it is neither able to give full play to the high efficiency of the Soviet Union nor achieve the full marketization of the United States. So this is a difficult time, but Yang Qiu will not go back. Although the efficiency of the planned economy in wartime is terrifying, it will do too much harm to the country, and the efficiency of the whole market will be lower, especially in a country like the Republic of China that has only just entered industrialization, but the prospects are undoubtedly broader. The three five-year plans laid the foundation, and then made a transition from the plan to freedom, adopting the strategy of retreating from the country and advancing the people. The protection of private capital and 100,000 small factories has been strengthened again, and Asian resources have been transformed into manufacturing in the Republic of China, and goods in the Republic of China have been exported to the Asian market, and finally low-tech industries have been gradually transferred to Southeast Asia and Central Asia to realize the integration of Asian oil. Realizing the Asianization of the Minyuan, monopolizing the Asian market in the reddest way, and competing for the right to export to Europe and the United States is the industrialization path conceived by Yang Qiu. But he doesn't know exactly how far he can go, because he is not an economic expert. He can only lay a good foundation as much as possible, so that latecomers can operate more calmly.

When the two arrived at the industrial area. Yang Qiuzheng took Pei Zuyi and others to inspect the small factory one by one. After 30 years of development, especially before the economic crisis, it was sold to American companies for construction, and then took advantage of the economic crisis to recover at a low price, and now Hangzhou Bay has formed the largest small and medium-sized industrial and commercial base belt in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, from heavy steelmaking, shipbuilding, petroleum smelting, to light industry such as textiles and garments, and then to new technology industries such as electronic communications. The 100,000 small factory plan was the most important national economic construction project during the entire war period, so Yang Qiu's requirements were very strict. The factory owner was also very grateful for the state's support, so after the vehicle drove into the industrial zone, banners welcoming the president were everywhere, and the workers even crowded the factory area just to catch a glimpse of Yang Qiu.

When the two arrived, Yang Qiu had already finished his inspection and was taking a group photo with the master of the factory. Nearly 100 group photos made the corners of Yang Qiu's mouth stiff, and when he saw the two of them touching his cheeks with his hands, he guessed: "You guys come together, are you going to do it one day?" ”

Yan Baohang first said: "The telegram sent from Tokyo to Yokosuka was intercepted the night before, and the telegram said that Hideki Tojo has been officially appointed as the new prime minister. Yesterday afternoon, a total of about 20 submarines from Yokosuka and Kobe and other places left the port, and their whereabouts are unknown. The telegram intercepted earlier included news that the Japanese Navy would go to the Ogasawara Islands in two weeks to hold a joint exercise, including the newly formed First Air Fleet, First Fleet, Third Fleet, and Sixth Fleet. Judging from all this, the signs of Japan's active offensive are already very obvious. In addition, this morning one of our reconnaissance planes also spotted about 20 Zero and 20 Type 97 bombers heading to Miyako Island east of Taiwan. Hakodate, the Ryukyus, North Korea, and Sasebo also frequently moved planes, and the Type 97 bombers in the direction of Manila have exceeded 200. Judging from the total number, from Manila to Hakodate, plus the carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier, a total of about 1,400 fighters have converged in China's outer seas, which is equivalent to half of the total number of military aircraft on the front line of Japan. Nakajima, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and other aircraft factories have been tasked with speeding up the construction of aircraft, according to our estimates, after this increase in production, the daily aircraft manufacturing volume will soon exceed the 1,000 per month mark, and the Japanese Navy's aircraft factory in Rabaul has also begun to deliver, with an estimated output of 100 aircraft per month. ”

After the war in Europe, China and Japan competed fiercely in the field of national defense. After the Republic of China took the road of aviation, although Japan had poor technology, it did not relax its catch-up speed, not only imported technology from Germany, Italy, the United States and other countries, but also maintained a large number of establishments. The total number of military aircraft of various types in the country exceeds 4,000, which is even higher than that of Britain and the United States. However, this cannot be said that the Japanese manufacturing industry is strong, it can only be said that it is the same as the Republic of China, taking advantage of the early start. "It's definitely going to be done! Judging from these transfers, I am afraid that Japan also knows that it is not safe to dispatch a fleet here in the Yellow Sea, so I am ready to eat my first fleet with planes. "Chen Shaokuan is far less calm than Yan Baohang, and the upcoming Sino-Japanese decisive battle is destined to be a stage for naval performances. Jiang Baili also said next to him: "In the First Sino-Japanese War and the war against Russia, Japan did not declare war. I bet they'll want to do it again. The Sakhalin oil deal ends on August 31, so the best time for a sneak attack is five days. ”

"How many bombers? Once the Japanese attack, can they all be intercepted? Yang Qiu closed the piece.

"There are about 400 of them, but most of the fighters can also carry bombs, so Shanghai, Qingdao, Dalian and Taipei are a bit dangerous. However, the President can rest assured that we have all the plans in place, and as long as the raid formation is ready, we will preemptively create a dispute in the Soya Strait, and then use this as an excuse to preemptively attack the front-line airfields before the Japanese start. Chen Shaokuan knew what Yang Qiu meant, even if the navy and air force had already organized dozens of large-scale air raid exercises, even if they dispatched several times as many "enemy" interceptor fighters during the exercises, it would be impossible to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Yang Qiu continued to ask, "Is the attack plan ready?" How is the fleet arranged? ”

Chen Shaokuan replied: "Our navy has prepared 220 Haih-7 planes, and the production of special air-dropped torpedoes is being stepped up. After we finish the first wave, Henin will dispatch 350 bombers to fight the second wave, mainly bombing Naha, Sasebo, Kuma, Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Seoul, Ulsan, and Busan. In terms of the fleet, the heavy cruiser Nanchang, the Tumen River and the Liaohe two light cruisers had already set out to support the 15th fleet in Vladivostok, drawing Japan's attention to the north for the time being. The two Beihai-class aircraft carriers and three Beijing-class battleships of the main force will continue to stay in Qingdao and wait for the eve of the attack to enter the Bohai Bay for temporary refuge, while the rest of the ships will go south to Shanghai to protect the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the rest will support Taipei. Seven submarines from the Second Fleet have already entered the Philippine Sea, and 20 more will depart in a week. Seven days later, five cargo ships and some ocean-going fishing boats will depart from Taiwan and Ningbo, ostensibly to send silk to the United States or to go fishing in the open sea, but in fact they will send 2,000 marines and equipment, as well as equipment for laying field airfields and 36 thunderbolts, to Agrihan Island north of Guam. Bing's 23rd Fleet would take advantage of the night to cross the Bass Strait to support Agrihan Island, and they had two Sichuan-class aircraft carriers and four heavy cruisers, and as long as they did not encounter the main force of the Japanese navy, they should be able to ensure air supremacy. We have also assembled 370 Seahawk four-engine seaplanes and 120 Yun-10 seaplanes in Taiwan and Sanduao, and after Agrihan Island is taken, six submarines transporting commandos will first send special forces up to guide Seahawk seaplanes to carry out a surprise bombing of Guam's airfield, and then airdrop paratroopers and marines, and after completing the mission, the planes will go directly to Agrihan Island to refuel. As long as you grab the airport, Yun Ten can land. ”

After listening to Chen Shaokuan's deployment, Jiang Baili also said: "There are less than 10,000 Japanese marines on Guam, there are no batteries or a few decent heavy firepower, and even the planes are Type 96 carrier-based fighters, and as long as the sneak attack on the airfield is successful, 20,000 soldiers can be transported up by plane within a week." However, we should be careful on the coastal side, the southeast is the lifeblood of our country's industry, and we must intercept Japanese planes as much as possible to reduce the panic of the citizens. It would be better for the Navy to send ships out to reconnoitre, organize coastal air defense radars and naval radar ships, and form a special Southeast Air Defense Command. Once bombed by Japan, newspapers and reporters were sent to the scene to arouse domestic enthusiasm for the war against Japan. Japan's national strength is insufficient, and as long as it insists on taking the Ryukyus in March and May, the southeast will be safe. ”

Yang Qiu accepted the suggestion and pondered for a moment before raising his head: "Inform the Confucian Hall, note the ambassador on the day of the note to inquire about the reason for the transfer." After speaking, he looked at Chen Shaokuan: "Diplomatically, I will cover for you, but you and He Ning must try to ensure the safety of coastal cities." ”
