Chapter 871 is another aviation base
In the Far East
Although the war between Japan and Russia ended in a terrible war, the security situation faced by Fuso was much more severe than in the previous history, and it can be concluded that it was absent from the First World War.
Now the Tsarist Pacific Navy is not completely wiped out, and is hiding in the port of Vladivostok, licking the wounds on his body, slowly regaining his strength.
The accumulation of blood feud between Japan and Russia, coupled with the unwillingness of Tsar Nicholas II, seemed to indicate the possibility of a second Russo-Japanese War.
With such a neighbor snooping on him all the time, it's no wonder that Fusang can't sleep at night.
Fuso won the Russo-Japanese War, but did not receive a huge war reparation as it wished, and carried a heavy economic burden. Judging from the current situation, if you want to repay the huge debts owed during the war, you should not think about it for more than ten years.
During this time
Fusang is generally in the time of a sage, recuperating and recovering its strength, and will not go around stirring up trouble, restraining the greedy minions, and it is possible that it will be much more stable in the three northeastern provinces.
In the most difficult days of World War I, Britain repeatedly asked Fusang to fulfill its obligations as allies and send troops to Europe to fight in order to relieve the heavy pressure faced by Britain, France and other countries on the Western Front, but they were all politely refused.
It's meaningful, and it's interesting to savor it.
In the heart of Fuso, which has gradually become stronger, it can be said that it has very complicated feelings for Britain and the United States and other countries, not only thanking them for their strong support for the war against Russia, but also resenting that the huge debt accumulated for this has almost crushed the entire country's economy, and the money that should be repaid cannot be less than a penny.
This kind of ruthlessness almost broke the glass hearts of the Fuso people.
The First World War, which broke out soon after, was a dog-eat-dog conflict of interests from the perspective of the Fuso people, and they were naturally happy to watch the fire from the other side, and they were not stupid, they were really kicked in the head by a donkey before they would take the fire for the British.
When you are strong, you will have enough confidence to say "no".
Li Fushou stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, considering the next application scenario of the powerful armored corps......
Well...... It is possible that after the outbreak of the revolution in Soviet Russia at the end of World War I, troops were sent to intervene in Russia.
From a strategic point of view
In the process of the rise of the United States and Russia into world-class new powers, Citigroup's influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia is far less than that of the same period in history due to the interference of the rising ocean empire, and the region has gradually been incorporated into the ocean empire economic circle, and its influence is very important.
However, as the world's largest economy and a developed capitalist industrial country, the process of Citigroup's rise may be slightly affected, and it may be robbed of some luck in the future, but the general trend is irreversible.
Tsarist Russia is different, its future is uncertain, and it may be disturbed and embark on a fork in the road of history, unable to repeat the glory of the original history.
This possibility is not only existing, but very large.
In Li Fushou's subconscious;
He has always wanted to intervene in the internal situation of Tsarist Russia at the end of the First World War, trying to lead Fusang into the path of continuous and long-term confrontation with Tsarist Russia, slow down its damage to the land of China, and embark on a different historical path.
If it can be successful, it will be a great merit for the living.
Therefore, after the successful development of the Cheetah tank, he personally arranged for relevant oil companies to overcome the problem of special lubricants and fuel oil in the alpine zone, and sent the Cheetah tank to Antarctica for experiments at minus 30 degrees Celsius to obtain first-hand data.
Li Fushou himself had no interest in acquiring the territory of the Far East of Tsarist Russia, which was really icy and snowy, inaccessible and unsuitable for human existence.
Although he can't pick and choose, he knows that the little devil has a strong interest in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and if he wants to provoke it a little, he can't stop it.
In the original history
Led by the British, they organized a huge force called the 14-nation intervention army, carried out armed intervention against the nascent Soviet power, severely punished its betrayal of the Covenant, and took the lead in making peace with Germany, among which the Fuso army was the largest, sending a total of more than 70,000 people.
Fuso was the first to land at the port of Vladivostok in 1918 and was the latest to evacuate with endless regrets, not until June 1922, spending as much as 900 million yen on military expenses, from which it can be seen that he was unwilling to do so.
In this, you can make a splendid article.
Europe and the Far East are places where the formation of armored corps can show their skills, and thinking of this, Li Fushou finally made up his mind to reorganize the armored division.
Among them, the motorized artillery regiment and infantry regiment under the division can be temporarily vacant, and when necessary, it can be directly transferred from the artillery division and infantry division.
Of the two armored divisions, the main thing is to complete the formation and training of tank regiments. Among them, the medium tank battalion equipped with Cheetah tanks has a considerable foundation and has formed a considerable combat effectiveness.
The main thing is the T2 tank equipment and training, which still needs to be completed in time.
According to the current progress of the research and development of T2 tank equipment, it will take about half a year to improve and further in-depth tests, and then put into small batch trial production.
It takes 1~2 years for real mass production, and it can be put into mass production only after solving the technical problems of machine tools and super-large single castings.
If you calculate it this way, it will take 4~5 years for the two armored divisions to be fully equipped to form combat effectiveness, and the time is not rich, and you can already start arranging the plan.
Early the next morning
The wheeled ironclad vehicles equipped by the Imperial Guards set off early, escorting the long convoy towards the secret base in Qibaolang, 233 kilometers away, and thanks to the smooth asphalt road, the convoy arrived at its destination at about 4 p.m.
Compared to a few years ago
The town of Qimarang has expanded a lot, with a population of almost 20,000, and it is even more lively, with a patchwork of buildings in the valley and an elegant and pleasant environment.
The Keemarang secret base is a secret base based on the research and development of aircraft and radio communication equipment, with more than 10 research institutes and related cutting-edge manufacturing enterprises, the radio factory here can produce military large, medium and small series of radio communication equipment, radio rangefinders, remote controls, etc., and the engine factory can produce a variety of types of aviation air-cooled engines, all of which belong to a high degree of secrecy.
In terms of academic qualifications alone, the average education of the town's population ranks first among all towns in the empire, and in other places, a high school education can already be called an intellectual, but in Qibaolang town it is only the level of an ordinary worker.
The town also has a large-scale special aluminum products factory, specializing in the production of various strange shapes and high requirements of aluminum products, for the aircraft factory to make supporting products. At the same time, it undertakes scientific and technological research projects of aluminum products, and ordinary workers are outstanding students who graduated from Eagle School, and their technical level is quite high.
Li Fushou came here to witness an advanced high-speed monoplane, which represents the latest achievements of the Institute of Aeronautics and belongs to the international cutting-edge level.
