What the great powers value is strength. After the war, the decline of European old-fashioned powers has become a foregone conclusion. [So, in order to prevent several declining old-fashioned powers from joining together to suppress the Republic of China, Li Han hopes that this battle will bring about the prestige of New China.

Whoever has the strength will get closer to the great powers, especially when the decline of European veteran powers, the rise of the Soviet Union has affected the Middle East, Central Asia and even Europe. Only in this way can China’s current strategic disadvantages be fundamentally reversed.

"Please rest assured that the aircraft factories in Wuhan, Chongqing and Chengdu have been fully transferred to aircraft manufacturing. According to optimistic forecasts, with sufficient raw materials, more than 100 aircraft can be manufactured per month. This is not affected by the production of at least 10 cargo airships per month that you ordered before. If the production of airships is stopped, the production of aircraft can be further increased. Now, we are planning to draw more technical backbones from machine factories, locomotive factories, technical schools, and military enterprises to ensure priority manufacturing of aircraft. Moreover, we are also organizing workers to continue to transform some reconnaissance aircraft and old aircraft. We can assure the President that when the war breaks out, our aviation power will definitely be twice as powerful as Japan!"

Feng Ru explained to him in detail that those at present, those who pay more attention to national affairs and practical matters at the moment, who have paid more attention to national affairs and practical matters, understand that Japan has now become a major concern for China and an enemy that China must defeat in its true rise.

Why do you say that? Because Japan has five concessions in China, only one less than the United Kingdom that began to invade China half a century earlier. And among the unequal treaties signed with China, Japan is second only to Britain. Moreover, among the several countries that have occupied Chinese territory, Japan has the largest number except Tsarist Russia. Not only the entire Liaodong Peninsula, but also Taiwan Island has been seized by the Japanese.

Today, conflicts and conflicts with China are becoming more and more frequent. Especially after Japan occupied the South China Sea colony, the Japanese pulled out a chain of island blockades that stretched for tens of thousands of miles from the Korean Peninsula to Taiwan, and then to the South China Sea region, completely blocked China in the offshore areas. Once a military conflict broke out between the two countries, the Japanese's superior naval power could easily block China's overseas trade. It can be said that the Japanese have now become the black hands to control China's overseas trade. Once its powerful navy receives orders, China's foreign trade will be devastating.

If China does not break this unfavorable situation, it will surely become the biggest constraint on national development, and the contradictions between the two countries are no longer irreconcilable.

This battle is a key battle for whether China can reverse its national trend. Whether it can be fought well is not only the military but also the affairs of everyone in the country. The more we move towards the industrial age, the more complex the war will be, and the more issues we need to consider. This is the key to the "total war". Only by fully leveraging the country's comprehensive strength and playing to its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses can we win the war.

Inviting Jiang Zuobin and Zhan Tianyou to come here also to ask about logistics and logistics transportation. Once the war between China and Japan begins, logistics will probably be tight immediately. Every railway, every warehouse and city used to store military supplies will be mobilized. There will be too many aspects involved in the east and west. Although Li Han hopes to be able to fight quickly, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, all possibilities must be taken into account, and protracted war must also be taken into account.

In fact, the plan has been formulated long ago, but because there are too many aspects involved, many details must be considered, which is directly related to the battle ahead. Li Han had to ask you again with caution. They really couldn't afford to lose this battle.

After discussing the possible situation with Feng Ru, Jiang Zuobin, Zhan Tianyou and others, time had passed by. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the three people were sent away, and Li Han called the attendant.

"Go and invite the Secretary of State!"

"yes!"

Secretary of State is Sun Baoqi, who comes from a family of officials and Yuan Shikai's in-laws. He not only has a huge influence among the old and young people in the Qing Dynasty, but also has a famous figure in the old Beiyang groups. He chose him as Secretary of State rather than Tang Hualong, whom he likes more. He can also see from the middle of the leopard, and he gradually tends to maintain stability in domestic politics, especially in the face of the situation where internal and external troubles occur at the same time. He will give priority to appease some domestic opposition parties and concentrate his efforts to resolve external conflicts first.

"President, Secretary of State Sun has arrived!"

"Please go to Donghua Hall, I'll be here!"

"yes!"

After processing several emergency documents, Li Han sorted out a little and, under the escort of several guards, he arrived at the reception room of Donghua Hall.

In the Donghua Department, Secretary of State Sun Baoqi has been there for a quarter of an hour.

"President, what urgent matters are you summoning me?"

If you want to talk about Sun Baoqi, he is actually very satisfied with the current position of Secretary of State. How could he not be satisfied? During the Yuan Shikai era, although he relied on his identity as the in-laws of the Yuan family, he was not so comfortable at that time. He accidentally took a wrong step, which would really offend Yuan Shikai. Therefore, when he was the prime minister of Yuan Shikai, he was careful step by step, for fear of overcoming the taboo.

In 2016, a major event occurred in China. The Prime Minister was once again abolished by the 'wise president' who was almost aware of the people. Why? People are right? After having a president, you set up another prime minister to seize power. As a result, the president is unhappy, the cabinet is unhappy, and the Prime Minister's identity is still embarrassing.

Therefore, during the Yuan Shikai period, the Prime Minister who was unable to abolish him, was easily removed when the "British President" was in power. With the promise of the Russian Russians, they regained half of the supreme merits of being stolen from China. With the halo of the Lord of Revival and the reincarnation of the wise king, although there were some accusations and scoldings, they were not as good as his military achievements. As a result, they were safe and sound, and the Prime Minister was abolished.

The Secretary of State has been established and I understand that it is a position without real power.

In fact, if he doesn't have real power, he still has power. But unlike the Prime Minister, all of these rights are given by the President. If he is honest, his State Council will be a big organization, which specializes in conveying the policies and presidential decrees of the cabinet, and even has the right to act as the president to inspect the four parties. He said it is big or small, but Sun Baoqi is also content. On the contrary, he is still the fourth person in the Republic of China.

"Mr. Mu Han, sit..."

Li Han signaled him to sit down and asked someone to make a pot of tea, which was a rare Kuding tea in the circle of rich people. He has been dealing with government affairs overnight recently, and with great pressure, he inevitably became a little angry.

"This is the bitter tea brought to me by Hunan Governor Tan Shi. Recently, it has always been hot. Drink some to clear heat and remove the heat. It's a little bitter. If you can't adapt to drinking it, I'll let someone change you a pot of Longjing..."

Brother Tan Shi naturally refers to Tan Yan. At least in order to appease the Hunan gentry group, Li Han also became sworn brothers with him. Now the two of them often communicate with each other and have been in a letter. Over the past few years, they have become really close. Not only in the eyes of outsiders, even Tan Yan himself, he regards himself as Li Han's direct power.

"No, no, no, no..." Sun Baoqi quickly refused, "It's just this bitter tea. The president has a lot of things to do. Although the responsibility on his shoulders is serious, if his body is broken, how can he take care of the state affairs? I heard that the president has fallen in love with Hui cuisine recently. There are several chefs from Anhui in my house. I will ask them to come over and make some maintenance dishes for the president and make up for it!"

Li Han smiled and shook his head. In ancient times, it was a small matter in the royal family, and it would have been passed down for three years. Now he has realized that he likes to eat Hui cuisine. However, when the last state banquet was held by the new US ambassador, Sidd, he asked someone to make a table of Hui cuisine to entertain him. As a result, the person who passed on the transmission became that he liked to eat Hui cuisine. Although his ancestors were from Chongqing, the taste was light, especially seafood, but they tended to be Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian cuisine. However, seafood was expensive and it was dozens or hundreds of times when made. It was impossible for the mansion to develop greed and corruption with the senior officials of the Republic of China. He has always set an example. In addition to his wife, he has rarely disclosed it to outsiders.

"Mr. Muhan, it's also something to invite you here today. Since last year, we terminated the continued payment of Boxer indemnity to Japan, the Japanese Navy has not only harassed and detained our ocean-going sea ships many times, but has also violated our Chinese industry dozens of times in the South China Sea and North Korea. Although the conflict between the two countries has been around for a long time, since the Revolution of the Republic of China in 1911, the national situation has been booming. The people's wisdom has begun, and the court is honest, and the opportunity for China's revival is coming. The Japanese are bullying in such a variety of ways, and the people are complaining.

The day before yesterday, the army that our country protected in exile in Korea was blown up outside Fengtian City. Our garrison patrols on the spot and shot and arrested some Japanese ronin. Although the actions of the Japanese government have not been interrogated, the Japanese military will inevitably be held responsible for the huge military use. Today, a Japanese minister put pressure on our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately and unconditionally release several ronin involved in the case. His words were extremely arrogant, which clearly showed his arrogance towards the judicial and dignity of the Republic of China. What should we do now?"

Although Li Han's words were neither salty nor light, he had already made his position clear. Sun Baoqi's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he hurriedly used drinking water to cover up the changes in his expression on his face.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Han said lightly: "Mr. Mu Han, I guess he has seen something? Yes, now the Republic of China has reached a great change, and the European War may end at any time, so China should be prepared. Japan has become a grudge with our country before the 1911 year, and it has become more and more excessive in recent years. We have been missing the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan for too long. Now it is time to take it back. So in my opinion, war is inevitable!"

Sun Baoqi felt very moved. He understood that peace between China and Japan would probably not be maintained. The president had obviously made up his mind. Otherwise, the Japanese would provoke North Korea in Southeast Asia last year, and China's ocean-going ships were detained many times, but he remained silent and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate.

Why is that? It’s not because China is not ready, and the Republic of China is not ready.

Now, the president has changed his previous silence and seized an excuse to start being aggressive. He is probably ready for a long time.

After all, he was the Secretary of State of the Republic of China and the fourth nominal figure in the entire country. He has been hoarding military supplies since a few years ago, and has received some news.

Compared with the past few victories, the uneasiness in my heart immediately faded a lot.

It was useless to know that what he said was, and the president had made complete preparations. Sun Baoqi pondered for a moment and had an idea in his heart.

He put down the teacup, bowed, and said, "Japan has a lot of coveting China, it is like a tiger like a wolf, so you must be careful. Since the president is fully prepared, please give me instructions and dare not obey your order!"
