"After the meal, Lao Zhao reminded Courtman and those guys to withdraw from the stock market early, but I don't think they could listen at all. Now they are going to fall a big shot. However, this is good, and it's just right for the fat man to help us implement the plan to start a company in the Philippines and Australia." Zhou Hao smiled with gloating.

Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head and said, "We can't count on them completely. We need to think of a few more ways and take multiple measures to ensure that our goals are achieved as soon as possible."

"Old Zhao, you basically know the situation in the United States now. Let's talk about your overall thoughts? I have always been looking forward to it." Zhou Hao said with a smile.

Zhao Zhenzhong looked at Zhou Hao and said with a smile: "You go find a world map and a Chinese map. Let's talk about it in detail based on the map."

Zhou Hao went out excitedly to find Liu Chenghai to ask for two large-scale maps, and came back and handed them to Zhao Zhenzhong, saying, "These two maps are publicly published in the United States, so just use them as you please."

Zhao Zhenzhong opened it and looked at it, shook his head and said, "I can only make do with it." Turning back to see Zhou Hao's look of anticipation, Zhao Zhenzhong was happy: "I'll talk about it later, you can tell me your opinion first."

Zhou Hao was stunned: "If you want to listen to your overall layout, why do you listen to me first?"

"If you were asked to think about it thoroughly, what would you do? It doesn't matter, say as much as you think of it." Zhao Zhenzhong encouraged.

Zhou Hao scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about it much before. Just listening to your words during this period has given me some idea of ​​the overall layout. If what I said is wrong, don't make a joke."

"Just say it with confidence." Zhao Zhenzhong urged.

"Old Zhao, you said before that the base area in Shandong has basically been established, at most, Fei County, south of Mengshan and north of Nishan, is included in the base area defense system. In addition to the base area's continuous construction and improvement of Yongguo fortifications, as well as some weapons that we will develop equipment in the next few years, it can form a large fortress fortress group that is from near, low to underground and three-dimensional defense. In addition to the base area, the firepower coverage of this fortress group will also extend about 20 kilometers to the surrounding area."

"However, because Shandong has a long coastline, our country's naval and air strength in the future war is almost zero compared to foreign enemies. The enemy can choose landing locations from the long coastline. In addition, the enemy's naval large-caliber naval guns can directly shoot from the other side, and the naval aviation can directly threaten the depth, which is difficult to defend in the coastal areas of Shandong."

"But it is of great significance to build a strong base in Shandong's Shandong mountainous area. Shandong's backbone is conducive to the base area receiving overseas material support, especially when the Great Wall plan is completed in the future, the base area can directly use underground passages to reach the seaside."

"In addition, building the Shandong-Central base area into our bridgehead in Shandong has two other important functions: one is to help restrain and attack the Japanese invaders in the future; the other is to help cultivate our future naval power."

"However, Lao Zhao, if you want to open another base in China, I'm a little confused." Zhou Hao said with his hands spread out.

"You will finish talking about what is abroad first, and I will talk about what is abroad later." Zhao Zhenzhong signaled Zhou Hao to continue.

"Okay, let me continue to talk about the situation abroad." Zhou Hao nodded.

"Old Zhao once said that he would use the power of the Chen family in the South China to move domestic victims to Nanyang to prepare for the future. Although the line of the Zhigong Party is now available, I think we can combine the original idea with the current line. First, we can have an additional channel for immigration to Nanyang, further strengthen the power of the Chinese in Nanyang, so that the Zhigong Party can develop faster; second, we can also vigorously develop rubber planting to make strategic reserves for the future."

"In addition, according to Lao Zhao's intention, in the Southeast Asian region, we also need to mine and smelve non-ferrous metals in the Philippines, Australia and other places to reserve for the future."

"Of course, in the United States, we have to rely on several existing companies to develop and develop some new technologies and new equipment, and at the same time use American universities to cultivate various professional talents for us in the future; and use the crude oil produced in the East Texas oil field to make strategic reserves for the future."

"Most of the above are sorted out based on some of the situations mentioned by Lao Zhao these days. However, I think some shipbuilding equipment acquired from the United States should be transferred to Australia in the future, and the steel mined and smelted there should be used to build ships. At the same time, submarines should be built secretly."

"In this way, through ships, transportation networks can be formed from New York, Boston in the eastern United States to Texas in the southern United States, Australia, the Philippines, Qingdao and other places, realizing the transfer of manpower and material resources, and accumulating strength for us to further develop and strengthen our future."

After hearing what Zhou Hao said, Zhao Zhenzhong smiled and said, "You have a good memory and a clear idea. It's basically the same thing. But I'll explain some things in detail."

"Let's talk about overseas first. Due to the influence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, we cannot establish a preliminary production base here. But it can still become a talent training center, a material distribution center and a vault. Use American universities to cultivate various talents for us; use the developed production capacity of the United States to provide us with the raw materials and some finished products needed, such as agricultural products, mechanical processing equipment, medicines, refined oil and crude oil, etc.; use the stock market and futures market here to provide sufficient funds for our development. In later generations, Americans once regarded Hong Kong and our country's imperfect stock markets as Wall Street's cash machines, and now we should treat Wall Street as our ATMs first. These are also our positioning of the United States."

"Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other places will become the production base and ship processing base for our strategic reserve materials before the outbreak of World War II. In addition to mainly producing steel, copper, rubber and other materials, Australia will also transfer some shipbuilding equipment from the United States as Xiao Hao said, on the one hand, build commercial ships, and on the other hand, on the other hand, build submarine components. However, submarines are best assembled outside Australia."

"Historically, Germany originally took 171 days to build an Xxi submarine during World War II. Later, it was manufactured in segments and then assembled in a shipyard, which only took less than 80 days. We can also use this method. We can build a closed ship repair dock in East Samoa in the name of repairing its own company's transport ships. This is usually used as a supplement and repair base between the United States and Australia. When needed, the submarine components built in Australia will be transported to the repair base in East Samoa for assembly. This will not only avoid the eyes of Americans and British people, but also help us to divide the work and cooperate in several places. Of course, after the underground submarine base on Dazhushan is built in the future, we can also produce and assemble submarines there."

"In the Philippines or Indonesia, in addition to building a strategic material production base, we also need to build a material transit center to facilitate us to transport some materials from the United States, Australia and other places back to China. Of course, it also facilitates us to provide material assistance to the Zhigong Democratic League in the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanyang."

"However, the materials we need and the materials we need cannot be transported by the same method. It is best for us and the China Democratic League to set up an ocean transportation company in the United States and Hong Kong respectively, which will be responsible for the transportation of the materials we need, and the two must not be crossed."

"As for the domestic base in Shandong, Xiao Hao is right, its positioning is a bridgehead and a nail. However, Xiao Hao is not completely speaking. The reason why the Shandong base is positioned is not just because of the Japanese invaders' naval and air force advantages in the future, but also needs to consider other domestic factors."

"Before I arrived in the United States, the combat forces of the Yimeng Base and the Dazhushan Base had reached about 39,000, of which there were more than 4,600 people in the Dazhushan Base, and more than 34,000 others were in the Yimeng Base. It is estimated that by the end of the year, I will be able to increase the strength of 7,800 more people. With our well-trained and well-equipped more than 40,000 elite troops, we can sweep away other forces, and even capture the entire Shandong."

"But it is easy to fight, but it is difficult to defend it. At that time, we not only had to face some opposition forces in various parts of Shandong, but also the Nanjing government's concentrated attack on Shandong from the north, west and south, and may even face the Japanese's re-sending troops. Even if we expand our team quickly and defend Shandong, we will suffer blockade and attack from all sides, consume our domestic strength, and ultimately let the Japanese reap the benefits."

"But if we only defend the mountainous areas of Shandong and do not expand outward, then the current strength is more than enough. Moreover, there is no need to worry about concentrated attacks in all aspects. At most, the Shandong authorities will send troops to suppress the attacks."

"In the original history, Chiang Kai-shek was always worried about handing over Shandong to other forces. He first said that he wanted to hand over Shandong to Feng Yuxiang's troops, but later he inserted Chen Diaoyuan. Before Chen Diaoyuan could do anything, Han Fuju came after the Central Plains War. Although Han Fuju was appointed as the chairman of Shandong Province by Chiang Kai-shek, Jiaodong still occupied Liu Zhennian. When Han Fuju wanted to beat Liu Zhennian, Chiang once tried his best to obstruct. Later, Liu Zhennian was forced out of Shandong and Han Fuju controlled the entire Qilu area. However, the Nanjing military and political authorities began to block Han Fuju's neck on military expenses, and Lao Han was not vague. If you stuck my neck, I would intercept your taxes. Both sides were fighting happily."

"Now, the Second Corps under Chiang Kai-shek lost about 20,000 troops when attacking the base. Knowing that the Yimeng base is a piece of iron bone that can break the big teeth, I think that the direct troops will not be mobilized to fight the attack before the domestic situation has completely stabilized. According to Chiang Kai-shek's temperament, he should still hope that the local authorities in Shandong can fight against the base area to lose both sides. However, the mountainous areas of Shandong have always been a barren land, and in the eyes of the Shandong authorities, they are poor mountains and rivers of bandits. As long as we do not take the initiative, they will not make trouble on their own. Even if Han Fuju dispatches troops to attack, I guess he will be honest after destroying a certain number of his troops."

"So, although the Yimeng base we currently control will make the Shandong authorities uncomfortable, in the end they can only accept it with their noses and maintain a non-aggression situation. This is also beneficial to each other."

"Overall, before we open another large base in China, overseas will become our personnel training base, capital reproduction center, production and distribution base for strategic reserve materials; while Shandong is a bridgehead."

Zhou Hao was very excited after listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's explanation, but after thinking about it carefully, he asked: "Old Zhao, where do you choose our large base in China in the future?"

Zhao Zhenzhong did not speak, but picked up the red pen and outlined it on the map of China.

"This, can this work?" Zhou Hao asked in surprise.

"We have already decided to go our own way, what else can't be done?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked back. Seeing Zhou Hao thinking, Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "Besides, the Jianggui War has just ended this year, and the Central Plains War will be the next year, and the Japanese will occupy the Northeast the year after. If we don't take action, it will be too late. You must know that we will face more than the Japanese in the future."

Zhou Hao thought about it and said excitedly: "Do it! We have worked hard for so many years, but if we still fail, it will be unreasonable!"
