From provinces with better local finances, special military expenditure allocations will also be set up. The total amount of central and local military expenditure allocations next year is expected to reach 700 million yuan. Although the military expenditure on the navy will be a little less, one can be built every year

There is still money for the battleship.”

Song Wenhui said: "The emperor, before returning to China, he led a fleet to visit Britain, Germany and France, and happened to discuss the naval cooperation plan with the British Navy Minister. According to the truth, the current financial crisis in Britain is very serious and has just experienced such a war.

Always restrain yourself a little. However, because the naval expansion plan formulated by the United States is too large, Britain has to continue to strengthen the manufacturing of battleships. At present, the British Parliament is discussing the new shipbuilding plan proposed by the Navy Department, and will build four main battleships, followed by

It may increase to 8 ships to maintain its position as the world's naval overlord. However, Britain has become like this now, and its confidence is still crazy. It is said that it will maintain twice the total tonnage of the US Navy's main battleship, but we are bystanders, so how can we

I don’t think that Britain has such strength. This incident did not have much impact on us at first. It was just that the United States and Britain built ships crazily, Italy and France are not idle now, especially the United States’ shipbuilding plan has stimulated Japan. Japan has also stimulated Japan.

Now a plan of eight eight, to build eight battleships and eight cruisers. Compared with them, does the Imperial Navy's current plan seem too weak?"

Song Biao thought for a moment and said, "We have our plans and don't burn money with them. In fact, they can't burn for long, unless the UK wants to have another world war with the United States, then the relationship is good. We will definitely support the United States.

.However, our own plan is a plan, and we still have to shout. Since other powers are building ships frantically and ignore the financial crises of various countries, we will also shout the slogans louder and let us also make a plan of 88.

Japan builds as much as it does. But that's just shouting and letting Japan get nervous. We should do our business according to our own financial situation and build a battleship and a heavy armored cruiser every year."

Song Wenhui said: "I'm afraid that the Japanese Navy will expand and its own financial resources will be insufficient. Take advantage of the lack of strength of our navy and attack our Navy to ask for compensation and other conditions."

Song Biao commented: "Your idea is naive. We deliberately gave them the southern part of the Korean Peninsula to them, just to retain a platform to connect with the Japanese army, so don't worry too much about Japan. The Japanese navy is certainly annoying thing.

, but we don’t have to worry too much in the near future. We must move forward at our own pace and strengthen our ties with the United States.”

Song Wenhui nodded silently and said, "My dear understands that after visiting France next year, I will continue to lead the fleet to the United States in the name of the Minister of Navy to further strengthen cooperation with the US Navy. There is another thing, I will return from Britain this time.

I have talked with some of their cabinet officials before. Overall, they do not hold a tough stance on the Hong Kong issue now, because they are competing with the United States for the seat of the naval overlord and facing the threat of our country's army, which completely makes Britain

It can't stand it. Judging from the reactions of the British people, the people also hope that the British government will fulfill the previous pre-war agreement with our country and return Hong Kong to our country. After all, Portugal has returned Macau in accordance with the pre-war agreement. If it continues to delay, it seems that the British Empire is too rogue.

, without trust.”

Song Biao said: "Things without trust are nothing but nonsense among governments. As long as the British government openly declares that our country sells weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union and violates the treaty of the Allied Powers, they can refuse righteously.

Returning Hong Kong, including us in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran, has sold equipment, which has caused obvious damage to the British Empire. The reason why Britain does not say that is because it will not do anyone to break up with us completely. In general,

It is said that the international situation after World War I was very complicated and it is still unclear."

The decline of Britain after World War I is already a well-known fact. Only the British Empire itself refuses to admit it. Britain is basically unable to compete with the United States in combating ships, otherwise there would be no subsequent Washington Navy Treaty.

Although the British Empire and the Chinese Empire still maintained the alliance agreement between the Allies in name, the two sides have basically fought secretly in the past two years. Britain attracted France to send troops from the Caucasus to attack the Soviet Union, but in fact it was to take the opportunity to occupy Pakistan, which was occupied by China.

In the Kuala Lumpur region, they even wanted to squeeze China out of Iran, but they were actually cheated by China.

On the issue of **, the British Empire has never given face to the Chinese. It can slap the Chinese as it wants, but the Empire is not idle. In Afghanistan, the Empire sent a complete team of military consultants to donate it.

A large amount of firearms and ammunition helped Afghanistan emerge from British rule.

In Myanmar, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the empire have always been undermining the support of the powerful forces within these countries, making Britain unable to rest at all.

The problem now is not that the empire wants to be unable to get along with the British Empire, but that the British Empire knows that China is becoming stronger and that its financial crisis is serious, but it is unwilling to leave behind the face of the world overlord. Hong Kong, recognized by the pre-war agreement, has been delayed.

He refused to return it, and as soon as the war ended, he began to actively instigate the issue, wanting to infiltrate Central Asia through Afghanistan, and even wanting to occupy the Baku oil area.

Since Britain is shameless, the empire can only stay with you to the end.

Although the Chinese are poor on average and the size of the navy is not high-end, the status of the army's great power is still very prominent.

Where is the Imperial Army's military boots trampled? Where is the territory of the Empire. There is no much controversy about this matter. The Japanese Navy is powerful. It occupies the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island and refuses to spit it out, but waits for the Imperial Army's two steps.

The Corps was sent to the northern part of Sakhalin Island, so Japan had to continue to maintain a trend of north-south division.

Don't think that the Imperial Army is still a civilian-style situation. Today's Imperial Army not only maintains a world-class level in terms of equipment and scale, but also at a world-class level in terms of military uniforms and supplies. The Imperial Army's military uniforms

It is neither French nor German or Russian. It has already formed its own system during World War I. Basically, Song Biao was personally responsible for the design and selection. The winter military uniform is still a semi-length military jacket with imperial characteristics, and the color has been restored to the Northeast.

The gray-blue, summer and spring and autumn clothes were brown and green, and the whole army popularized steel helmets. In the current world, the army is the first and most concerned army.

Military uniforms are actually the soul of the army. It will determine whether the army is vulgar, solemn, noble, lazy, proud, or crazy.

What kind of clothes you wear will make you feel like you will naturally become.

After the Sino-Soviet War, the Imperial Army basically completely established its own top three in the world's army, but now it is just a little worse than the German Army.

Song Biao lit a cigar and smoked it for a while. He continued to think about some changes in the UK. He definitely had the paranoia that he would be absolutely uncomfortable without using domestic products. Now even cigars are all made of Yuxi's royal supplies. For this reason,

He invested in and set up a tobacco company himself to specialize in introducing technical techniques to produce Yuxi cigars.

The taste is not expressed, but I feel better in my heart.

What Song Biao could still feel is that the defeat of the British and French coalition forces in the Caucasus region had a great impact on British society. The British Empire is currently expressing some new attitudes and kindness, trying to ease further conflicts with China in interests, and also trying to avoid further

Being caught in a conflict with the Soviet Union.

After the First World War, the British Empire's fiscal deficit was overturned to 6.5 billion pounds, which was equivalent to its 25-year total fiscal revenue during the normal period. Even so, we must continue to compete with the US Navy to build ships and try to maintain our efforts to maintain our efforts to the Chinese Army and

The Air Force's advantage, this kind of thing is really crazy.

However, Song Biao believed that the British Empire would still be aware of its madness and ignorance.

He smoked a cigar for a moment, thinking about the subtle changes in the international situation, and then ordered Song Wenhui: "After the change of leadership, you accompany the Prime Minister to visit Britain and France, pay attention to finding suitable occasions to tell all countries that the conflict between China and the Soviet Union is still very serious, but

It is just stable in the short term. We need to hope that these countries will support us in the long term restraining the Soviet Union. If they concentrate on dealing with an increasingly powerful Chinese empire, they may seize the opportunity to threaten the entire Europe. No matter what, the Soviet Union is against

The threat from Europe is very great, but as long as we restrain the Soviet Union and Russia from behind, the Soviet Union will not dare to act rashly."

Song Wenhui nodded silently and said, "The emperor is wise, and the minister will arrange this matter immediately after taking office."

Song Biao thought for a while and ordered with Cheng Biguang: "Go together, he is the new Naval Minister. You represent the president of China University of Shipbuilding Technology and Fuzhou Naval Academy, and my special envoy, but your mission

It is to go to Germany, and the center of Song Wenyun is Britain and France, and the two act separately. The French warship manufacturing industry is a bit awkward, and Germany and Britain are still the most powerful. As for us, we definitely hope to develop German-style naval and warships.

,Building one ship is a ship. It is better to have higher cost, better process, and better materials, but it is necessary to withstand the blow. However, in terms of boilers and steam turbine technology, it is necessary to absorb the British technology, especially

They have to find ways to get some of the latest technologies at this stage."

Cheng Biguang said, "From our evaluation of the Jutland Navy, the German Navy is a strategic loser, and is actually a winner in the warship manufacturing industry. The Imperial Navy will still take the German ship in the future.

Ideas and styles are developed and developed. This time we evaluated the foreign countries' design information for several warships, and finally decided to choose the King-class, based on the King-class battleship, citing some new technologies and improvements from Germany at the Bavarian class, including

Some emerging radio and radar technologies, using oil-fired boilers and some advanced aspects of British Vicks in steam turbine manufacturing, built four new King-class battleships, completed in four installments in four years, one ship per year, the main

The gun is a 15.5-inch triple-mounted unit with a diameter of 45."

Song Biao said: "It just happened to be said about this. I thought a 15-inch main gun was enough. Don't force Japan and Britain to pay too much attention to our navy. That's meaningless, because we are already the most powerful army in the world.

1. If we still want to pursue a stronger naval force, we will fall into the predicament of Germany before the Iraq War. Moreover, we cannot challenge the naval advantages of the British and Japanese alliance, so don't rush to threaten their maritime hegemony, slowly

Let’s talk about it before laying the foundation.”

Cheng Biguang and Song Wenhui could only nod and said yes, and they still had to continue to modify the plan when they went back, but this was just a small adjustment and not a big project. Saving a little tonnage space is also conducive to further strengthening defense, especially the water for torpedo protection.

Under the defensive armor, the king level itself still has minor shortcomings in this regard, which is not as good as France.

Overall, the Imperial Navy still unanimously recognizes that the King-class battleship is close to the standard of a model dreadnought, but there are flaws in the choice of boilers, and there are still some slight gaps in the manufacturing of steam turbines compared to Britain.

The Imperial Navy's Phase III and Phase IV plan is very tough, which is to double the total tonnage in 1920 to reach the level of 700,000 tons. It has 14 Fearless Battleships, of which 10 are super-dreadless ships with displacement of 10,000.

Tons of heavy armored cruisers must reach 20, light armored cruisers must remain in the scale of 30, and existing destroyers will be gradually phased out to the General Administration of Coast Guard. All large and medium-sized destroyers will be replaced within ten years, with the displacement tonnage of no less than one thousand tons.

.

The displacement standard of frigates is also required to be more than 1,000 tons. Because the coastline is long, most areas need frigates, with an estimated total of more than 70 ships.

According to such a plan, the Central Navy of the Empire will only retain two main fleets, namely the Northern Fleet and the Southern Fleet. The Northern Fleet is headquartered in Qingdao and Lushun Naval Bases, and the Southern Fleet is headquartered in Fuzhou, Ningbo and Hong Kong.

Zhanjiang, Ningde, Weihai and Longmen are second-tier naval bases, Vladivostok and Papua New Guinea each station a second-tier fleet to curb Japan's pursuit of this region.

The Far East and Sakhalin Island’s siege mentality.

The Imperial Navy is also considering stationing fleets in the Persian Gulf waters of Iraq and Iran, but on this issue, China and Britain are still negotiating. In principle, the UK hopes that China will not retain its navy in the Persian Gulf, and at most it can only be in the southern part of the Persian Gulf.

In the region, its reason is to avoid conflicts with the British Navy, but the British Navy currently has no fleet in this area.

After all, the British Empire is the British Empire, and it is domineering. Now it is so down and domineering. It deserves to be beaten again in World War II. If it wasn't twice in a row, how could it be willing to give up the throne of the world's number one overlord?...)
