Chapter 279: America is a fat sheep

(Thank you for the reward of Longhu solo fishing, and thank you for the evaluation vote of the glorious charter of the book friend!) ）

"Why? Emperor. Our main enemies now are Japan, as well as Russia, Britain, and France, which are likely to be hostile to us. If we resent the United States now, then it is very likely that we will be invincible with two fists and four hands! Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong said.

"Although the military strength of the United States is very different, their industrial strength is very strong, as far as the navy is concerned, they already have five cutting-edge warships under construction, and they will be able to enter service in the next year to two years. In addition, with the industrial strength of the United States, even the construction of more than ten battleships at the same time is possible. But we can't. Xiong Wu also said. There is no doubt that there is no benefit in China and the United States completely tearing their faces apart. The purpose of seizing Hawaii is to seize the advantage in future strategy, but at the same time, it is also necessary to ensure as much as possible that there will be no military conflict with the United States.

"5 cutting-edge warships? Even the battleships they are designing now are estimated to be not as powerful as our 'Sichuan-class' battleships in terms of combat power, right? Not to mention the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships that we are already about to complete. Our main enemy now is Japan, and that's right. However, the current US Navy, with our Pacific Fleet alone, will be enough to defeat them. Well, if the Americans are not interesting, we can fight them. At home, there is also great skepticism about whether the United States should expand abroad. The United States is a vast country, and for Americans, there is enough for them to live. At the same time, the Americans and the US government have little confidence in their armed forces. Therefore, if we can defeat the US Navy cleanly, there are only two possibilities. One is that the Americans will immediately build more battleships and fight us to the end. Another possibility is to abandon foreign expansion. If it's the second possibility, it's undoubtedly the best outcome for us! Wang Yuze said.

Xiong Wu and Wu Tingfang both nodded, and they also admitted that this might be the case. It's just that it's hard to say what the specific situation will be. At least, according to the thinking of the Chinese, after being defeated, they will have to find a way to take revenge in the future. But foreigners and Chinese think differently, and it is very difficult to say what they will think.

"In addition, the United States is industrially strong, much stronger than we are. Perhaps in terms of fiscal revenue alone, we are now stronger than the United States. However, this is because of our large population, and at the same time, we have spent a lot of money on economic development. And if we want to quickly shorten the distance between us and the United States in industry, in addition to the billion yuan we spent on the first batch, I am afraid we will have to spend more money. The United States has strong industrial strength, but its armaments are very weak, isn't this just a fat sheep for us? As long as we can defeat their navy, then will the Americans have no choice but to surrender and let us cut the flesh off them? Wang Yuze said with a smile. Although the United States has only been a country for more than 200 years, it has developed rapidly over the past 200 years and has already accumulated huge wealth.

"Cutting meat from the United States?" Wang Yuze's idea shocked both Xiong Wu and Wu Tingfang. With the strong industrial strength of the United States, once a full-scale war with China starts, it will probably be difficult to deal with! In addition, there are so many enemies in China that it seems that there is no need to provoke a strong United States, which is very unfavorable to China's current situation.

"Your Majesty! Although the United States is a fat sheep, it may become a tiger at any time! The fat on the body of the United States is not so easy to cut! Xiong Wu reminded that he was afraid that Wang Yuze's brain would be hot and bring China into a desperate situation.

"Chief of Staff, is there any possibility of peaceful coexistence as far as we and the United States are concerned? The answer is no! Both we and the United States are developing at a high rate, but now we have a military superiority, while the United States has an industrial superiority. However, once the United States transforms its enormous industrial power into military power, it will be difficult for us to continue to gain an advantage. Therefore, it is best for us to take advantage of the present time, before the United States has yet to develop its military strength, to teach the United States a lesson, and to seize benefits from the United States to develop itself. As for the victory over the United States, this has to start from the naval side. I believe that with the launch of a large number of our cutting-edge warships, our superiority over the United States will continue to be maintained. In addition, part of the benefits gained from the United States will also be invested in military development, so that we can always maintain this advantage. Finally, if the Americans turn their attention to armaments instead of economic development, this will slow down the economic development of the United States, and it will also be of great benefit to us! Wang Yuze said. This is a question he has been thinking about for a while. Between China and the United States, there will inevitably be a war. Should we wait until the United States is fully strong and have a big war with the United States, or do we start now? There is no doubt that if we do it now, the Chinese side has a good chance of winning.

"Your Majesty, your point of view is very reasonable. However, for us, this is nothing less than a gamble. If we lose, then all our decades of hard work will be in vain! Xiong Wu said. In his arrival, China has not yet had the strength to defeat the United States, and in fact, the United States is indeed very difficult to defeat because of its special geographical location. However, as the United States grows in power, it becomes more difficult to defeat them.

"It may be a gamble. However, if we do it right, we may not be able to win the final victory. And what we have to do is to make sure that we don't fail as much as possible! Wang Yuze said firmly. In later generations, the United States has become the world's sole superpower, and no country can confront the United States. Before World War I, although the United States was a world power, because its military strength was too poor, they could only be regarded as a world power with a very backward ranking. It can be said that now is the best opportunity to defeat the United States, and to contain the United States. As the United States grows stronger, it will be more difficult for China to defeat the United States. Therefore, Wang Yuze had to consider taking a risk. In addition, as he said, the huge wealth that the United States has now amassed is exactly what China needs. China has to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, develop industry, develop education and science and technology, and develop armaments, all of which require a lot of pre-construction. If the United States can be used as a cow, it will undoubtedly be the best.

There is no doubt that if a war breaks out between China and the United States, it will definitely be the Chinese Navy that will win. And the United States lost the war, and can only pay a certain price, and then end the war. China, on the other hand, can benefit from this opportunity. Although after the end of the war, the United States will definitely be hostile to China, and will rapidly develop armaments, like Japan, in an attempt to defeat China later. In Wang's vision, when China and Japan go to war, the United States will certainly take action against China again. When the time comes, it will be the time to really test China. If the Chinese Navy can defeat the Japanese Navy first and then the U.S. Navy, then China will have a huge victory. As for the Japanese army that started the Sino-Japanese war, Wang Yuze estimated that it would be about two years later, at that time, almost all the warships built by Japan abroad had returned to China, and the warships built by themselves had already been put into service, and Japan's naval strength had almost completely recovered. This is a good opportunity for war against China. And the United States is estimated to have built only a few battleships at that time. Wang Yuze believed that the Chinese Navy's 'Zhonghua-class' battleships would definitely be able to defeat the Japanese Navy with ease, and then march to the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean to defeat the US Navy together with the Pacific Fleet. Then, the overall situation can be decided.

Of course, there are still many loopholes in this, and it is inevitable that Britain will not intervene and so on. However, if it succeeds, it will bring huge benefits to China, and such benefits are enough to make China take a risk.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided?" Xiong Wu asked. There is no doubt that Wang Yuze's point of view is very enticing. As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth! The gap between China and the Western powers is too great, and it is very difficult to catch up in a short period of time. If China's development can be accelerated by plundering other countries, this is undoubtedly a very good way. However, if it fails, China will once again be knocked off the cliff.

"Yes, I've decided!" Wang Yuze said affirmatively. He was already determined to implement this strategy, and the Western powers were based entirely on the plundering of their colonies. Now, China has no colonies to plunder, so it can only plunder the relatively weak powers. The United States, on the other hand, undoubtedly meets the condition that "people are stupid and have a lot of money."

"Then, the army of the Empire will fight to the death!" Xiong Wu said firmly. The army of the empire should naturally fight for the interests of the empire, and since Wang Yuze has made up his mind, then they must do their best to achieve victory. There is another reason why Xiong Wu made up his mind so quickly, and that is the strength of the Chinese Army. The war between China and the United States is basically a war between navies, and even if it loses, China will lose its overseas interests at most, and if it wants to destroy China, it will be almost impossible. China's strong army is enough to guarantee the security of the country!
