December 5, Guangzhou. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Military vehicles and soldiers coming and going on the main roads added to the tension in the big city"Three months have passed since the outbreak of the war, people have also come out of the initial panic, the recruiting station is still busy every day, and the factory orders are lined up until a few years later" The wartime economy has ensured that the purchase price has been greatly reduced, and the profits of the merchants have begun to fall, but due to the huge demand, a certain profit can still be guaranteed" The day is only a little tighter than usual.

As an industrial city in the south second only to Shanghai, and one of the important birthplaces of national industry in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, more than ten years of development not only let there be shipbuilding, automobiles, aircraft and other heavy industry enterprises here, but also because relying on Guangxi, Hainan and Nanyang Islands "has become a large non-ferrous metal distribution center in the country."

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry, Guangzhou, Guangxi and Hainan alone can provide 1 million tons of finished aluminum chains to China every month, which are transported to all parts of the country by train and land and sea, ensuring that the war eagles begin to walk down the production line in a steady stream.

Compared with the United States, which is also making great efforts, China still has many deficiencies, but it is almost the same, in the final analysis, the population advantage in this era cannot be completely compensated by machines, for example, the United States uses 1,000 workers to build a ship, and if the Chinese technicians are not skilled enough, then simply double, or multiply" "The strength of many people is great", this sentence is exactly why the Entente countries felt so worried after China joined the war.

At this moment, "many people are beginning to understand why Li Mo let Britain and the United States declare war first, and even did whatever it takes to delay the arrival of the declaration of war, and then make China forced to join the war" for the sake of the image of "taking up arms freely and peacefully".

As a multi-ethnic country, war needs excuses, and only when the whole country is twisted into a rope can a strong cry erupt.

The Empire Strikes Back Victory!

Shelling New York!

Victory in the Battle of False Bay!

Until the recent announcement of the great victory of the Slanker Islands!

The reporters exerted their expertise, in the touching text rendering, the battles, a person and the deeds "in front of the people" in the excitement and tears, these people and things not only inspired the whole country, but also made everyone full of energy, many people said that even if they get a low salary, they must send good weapons and equipment to the hands of the soldiers.

In addition to the vital aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, the Guangzhou shipyard is one of the representatives of the shipyard "The dock is covered with all kinds of keels, from small patrol ships to large aircraft carriers, and the arc of fire flickers day and night." 【 I want: super fast update 】

As the head of the royal family, he personally integrated the Southern Industrial Group and built it into the second largest heavy industry group controlled by the royal family, the government and private capital, and it was the first time for him to see such a lively scene here.

The wartime economy is a test of the country" to the destruction of the free economy, but there is no doubt that it will greatly stimulate the potential of the country, and when the war is over and the pains of transformation are over, "the country's comprehensive manufacturing capacity will be raised several steps!"

China's current industrial capacity is inferior to that of Britain and the United States, and even to Germany," everyone knows this, but as long as the final victory is won, the industrial capacity of Britain and the United States, which has suffered heavy losses, will be "thrown off a few streets" by the workers of the imperial industry who have grown up in a few years under the stimulus of the wartime planned economy.

So what if the current number is not as good as the United Kingdom and the United States? What if the manufacturing capacity is not comparable? The technical advantage is enough to offset a lot of things, not to mention that in just three months, the number of the main warships of the Entente countries that have been sunk has exceeded thirty, and the rest of the ships are countless, even if the industrial capacity of Britain and the United States doubles again, it is impossible to accept damage of this scale, and now the numerical disadvantage is also rapidly approaching after the opponent's losses are defeated, in order to make up for this gap, Britain and the United States will have to shed their skin even if they do not die.

Judging from the total number of capital ships, Britain, the United States and France together still have an absolute advantage, but they have dropped too much compared with the pre-war "Take the United States as an example, it still has 20 capital battleships, 4 heavy cruisers, and 13 old battleships", and the third and fourth Guam class on their side will be delivered in ten days, and at that time they will have 19 capital battleships and 4 heavy cruisers, "although the old battleships are 0 to 13", but those old goods have proven countless times that they are not in line with the times.

If it weren't for the Indian Ocean, maybe I could have imagined landing in Panama at this moment.

The busy scene made Li Xiufeng's thoughts temporarily fork, but he let him take back the two huge battleships, and after locking his eyes to an iron house in the corner of the dock, he sighed.

This kind of hut is usually used for temporary rest for the overseers or engineers, and there is only a bed and a desk in the room, and when he pushes the room open, he finds that the lamp is still on, indicating that the temporary owner of the place has not been gone for long.

"Brother: Why did you come here?" ”

Just as he was about to go to the dock to look for it, a cry of surprise came from behind him, and when he turned his head and saw Li Xiuyan's outfit, he couldn't help but feel sour.

Ordinary hard hats, thick blue oil-stained overalls, sloppy as if he hadn't shaved for ten days and a half months, people have lost a lot of weight, and the important thing is that the eyes that were once smart have also dimmed a little.

"Come and see you." Li Xiufeng found two stools, moved to the door and motioned for Li Xiuyan to sit down, looked at the two Guam-class battleships that were being repaired, and said lightly: "I heard that you came here after returning to the military headquarters" Why don't you go back and have a look? My stepfather misses you very much. Xiuyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Close combat is tense" I want to supervise the repair of the two battleships as soon as possible, delayed. "Really? Li Xiufeng looked at his younger brother who was wrong, he knew that Li Xiuyan was blaming himself, in addition to the accident that caused the emperor to be injured, but also because of the unfinished work of the attack on the Atlantic, which made him doubt his confidence, so he used the excuse of supervising the maintenance of the battleship and avoided everyone's attention.

"The emperor is recovering very well, and he will return to the navy in two more months, in fact, you don't have to...... Old"

"The Emperor wants to go back to the Navy?" , Before Li Xiufeng finished speaking, Li Xiuyan interrupted his brother, a little unable to believe his ears, he thought that the emperor might retire after this injury, but he didn't expect to come back.

"This is what the emperor meant, and the emperor has already promised him." , Li Xiufeng glanced at his younger brother, and suddenly raised his voice: "Do you think the emperor is not prepared?" I can tell you that "from the day the emperor enlisted" the emperor was ready for bad news.

I remember that after you set off, the emperor said to me, I don't want you to be more vigorous, as long as you can bring back the two warships intact, it will be considered a victory, and now that you have done it, the military department and the emperor will reward you.

But you're good enough to hide here, do you think you can avoid it? Do you think that by doing this, numbing yourself with work, you are atoning for your sins? ”

Li Xiufeng's eyes were already a little reprimanded, and his tone became a lot more serious: "Where is the mistake" You should know, a real soldier should know how to summarize, setbacks should not let confidence sink "Instead, you should become stronger and stronger in the continuous tribulation, and be able to play in the future war "If you can't even get out of this demon, then you might as well retire." ”

The words made Li Xiuyan's shoulders shake suddenly, he didn't expect that his brother, who was dependent on each other, would say the word retirement, this is not a trivial matter, "If he retires now, this generation will not be able to raise his head, and he will always be infamous as a deserter."

"These words are not what I said, they were said by the emperor!" , Li Xiufeng told the truth, watched his younger brother take out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is a handwritten letter that the emperor asked me to pass on to you, and he also asked me to tell you that the expedition of 10,000 miles will be folded to the general, since it is a war, there is no such thing as not losing, the Battle of Falls is so smooth, and it also lost a plane, and two sailors died."

In the naval battle of the Coron Islands, General Ji Weishan saw through the tricks of the United States five days in advance, but he was afraid that the early evacuation would be discovered by the United States and he would lose the opportunity, "still insisted on notifying the local troops after arriving and lost two warships, but later the United States still seized the Colon Islands because of the lack of land forces."

Are they discouraged?

War does not end in a day or two, and if there is not enough preparation for sacrifice, if you are not ready for a brutal battle, it is better not to fight. After Li Xiufeng finished speaking, he got up and patted his pants, pointed to the two Guam-class battleships and continued: "I asked before I came, they can be repaired in ten more days, and now that Malaya and the Indian Ocean are ready to fly, I believe you know what to do!" ”

"Brother."

Li Xiuyan slowly stood up, pinched the letter in his palm, as if he felt the emperor's painstaking efforts, and nodded heavily: "I know how to do it." ”

"Then do it!" Li Xiufeng waved his hand and regained his heartiness: "The horn to the west has been sounded, Britain and the United States and other Entente countries are desperately increasing their troops in the Indian Ocean, I just got the news when I came" They have already made the decision to increase their troops in the Indian Ocean for the second time, the chief of staff said that the millions of Entente ** troops trapped in the Dardanelles have shown signs of retreat, and they are very likely to be redeployed to the Indian Ocean and Persia, and our garrison in Greater Kuwait "has suffered a fierce offensive since early yesterday morning!

The Empire will face an unprecedented battle, and the Indian Ocean will be full of smoke and smoke: "The total number of enemy troops we face may exceed three million!" Brother is a layman, but I have heard the emperor and the chief of staff say that this battle will be an important battle related to our breaking of the encirclement and suppression on three sides and opening up the Asia-Europe shipping route.

Defeat, we will continue to be trapped in the Pacific Ocean, and our European allies will be broken by each other, so the emperor said that this is a big battle that can only be won and not lost, and there will be many, many sacrifices in it.

Brother believes in you, the emperor and father-in-law also believe in you, we will wait for your next good news in Beijing! "Yes! Looking at his brother and listening to the news, Li Xiuyan seemed to see the gunpowder smoke in the Indian Ocean, slowly stood up, and saluted with his feet together: "Please take me to tell the emperor."

"I already hear the trumpet!"! ~！
