Chapter 271 Japanese Royal Family and Marshal(1/3)

During the entire Asian League establishment, the Empire appointed the Central Military Intelligence Department and the General Administration of Intelligence to be responsible for the entire confidentiality agreement. Very few members of the member states knew about it. Even so, Britain, the United States, France, Japan and other countries still knew something about China in Iraq in advance.

The news of the country's negotiations to form a military alliance is not very clear about the specific situation.

After the release of the real "JSJ Joint Statement", Britain, the United States, France and Japan were extremely shocked and panicked. The Asian League is an aspect that shocked all countries. What really scared all countries the most was undoubtedly the establishment of the Asian Free Trade Zone, this organization

Exclude other countries directly.

Originally, under the same tariffs, it was difficult for Europe and the United States to compete with China. There was still a gap in tariffs, so it was even more difficult to compete. If Britain and the United States could barely accept the existence of this organization, Japan would not accept it at all.

On the second day of the establishment of the Asian League, Japan's newly appointed Prime Minister Keisuke Okada issued a serious warning on behalf of the Japanese government, believing that this is a new trade protectionism and that the act of isolating other countries is dangerous and may trigger new

The war, and condemns China's monopoly on its colonial interests in Asia through such an organization, which violates the spirit of open doors. Japan firmly opposes this, hoping that the members of the organization who are held hostage by China to weigh the pros and cons, do not be enemies of the world, and withdraw immediately

The organization.

In short, Japan does not recognize the effectiveness of the Asian League.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't admit it. If a war is to start, the empire will definitely be with you to the end.

After Japan issued the Okada statement, China immediately launched a new warship manufacturing plan, adding four Liangzhou-class battleships and two Northeast-class aircraft carriers, and at the same time building one aircraft carrier and four cruisers for the Kingdom of Brunei, to the Kingdom of Iran

Build an aircraft carrier, two high-speed battleships and four cruisers.

The Imperial Central Air Force was expanded, from the original 20 air divisions to 33 air divisions. On average, each member state retains the deployment of one air division, maintains the deployment of two air divisions in Sulawesi overseas province, and also in Jeju.

Finally, an air force division was deployed, which directly posed a threat to Japan that was enough to bomb the local area.

In fact, in May 1934, just before the Lushan Conference was held, the first generation of the Empire's ** fighter P2 had been successfully deployed, and the 211 Air Force Division deployed in the Northwest Military Region was secretly served. The improved model P3\4 based on P2 is under development.

In order to increase the radar space of the nose, the second-generation turbojet fighter P5\6 has undergone a large-scale hollow test. From the beginning of the development, it has directly considered the use of both air intakes and dual releases, although it has faced supersonic speed from the beginning.

The tail imbalance and flutter problems, especially the difficult air compression and negative pressure phenomena, are still being accelerated, and the Air Force and Navy allocate military expenditures to intervene in the study. The 201 Project and the Central Aeronautics Research Institute have also established a special

The Hollow Research Bureau conducted a special study.

The birth of P2 is epoch-making. Although the No. 2** fighter jet still has a lot of complex problems to be solved after it is put into service, it still has epoch-making significance and military value. It has no way to deal with conventional propeller fighters.

It can match the speed of dive sound, and the torpedo bomber modified based on it will be more destructive.

In the past, the empire used the army as its ace and trump card. Now that the air force with P2 has become a new trump card, this makes the empire less worried about war breaking out with any country.

Just one year later, the emergence of P2 made the Empire qualified to maintain a more ruthless position and a more arrogant attitude in the provocation of Japan. The Empire simply ignored any so-called warnings from Japan, even behind this time.

With the default of Britain and the United States.

In fact, even without P2, the empire didn't have to care about Japan's warnings. The country now isolated from the Asian Free Trade Zone is Japan. The longer the time is maintained, the greater the gap in strength between China and Japan.

After the Lushan Conference, Song Biaofei returned to Chengde Summer Resort for a while and continued to discuss the issues of the Far East Consortium with Chen Guangfu and others. A few days later, he continued to fly to Zhendan Prefecture to inspect the construction plan for the new Northeast-level aircraft carrier.

There are three counties in Zhendan Prefecture that are particularly prosperous and are also the main foundation for the economic leader of the entire Far East Bridgehead. One is Zhendan County, the second is Jinzhou County, and the third is Pulandian County. Zhendan County is a commercial and trade center. Jinzhou

Hepulandian is an industrial center with a complete range of light and heavy industries.

The three counties are very complementary.

The shipbuilding industry in Northeast China is mainly based on Jinzhou County. The two largest shipyards are in Jinzhou County. The Yaowan factory of Jinzhou Shipbuilding General Factory is a dedicated warship manufacturing port.

Every decision announced by the diplomatic world has a lot of work behind it. On the surface, the Empire has added warship manufacturing plans due to Japan's strong opposition and threats, as well as warship sales plans to Iran and Brunei. In fact, before that,

Everything has been confirmed long ago.

Jinzhou Shipbuilding General Factory received fourteen warship orders in this year, three large warships. The situation of Jiangnan and Fuzhou Shipbuilding General Factory is consistent with that here, while Haizhou, Qingdao, Ningbo, Luanzhou,

The same is true for large shipyards in Jinzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhu and other places. Through more than 20 years of support and development, the empire has three large and seven medium-sized military ship construction bases, with warship manufacturing capabilities of more than 500,000 tons per year.

At Jinzhou Shipbuilding General Factory, the construction of the first Northeast-class aircraft carrier in China is accelerating. Two of the four Harbin-class light cruisers are also built here, and the other two are built at Haizhou Shipyard.

Before the emperor arrived at the shipyard, the Minister of Defense Chen Qicai and the Chief of Staff of the Navy Chen Houfu arrived in Jinzhou a few days in advance. They were prepared to welcome the imperial stewards. The shipyard was also decorated with new decorations. Every place was cleaned spotlessly and welcoming the emperor for inspection.

All preparations.

On the open-air dock made of 30,000-ton ships, two 5,000-ton vehicles were sliding back and forth on the dock. Many tower cranes were constantly lifting the decks at the dock for installation, and more than 2,000 ship workers worked as usual.

The first Northeast-class aircraft carrier is called the USS Northeast aircraft carrier. According to the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the signatory countries can build two 33,000-ton aircraft carriers without exceeding the total tonnage of the aircraft carrier. This is based on this clause.

The Empire designed the Northeast-class aircraft carrier and used the beveled deck design for the first time on this aircraft carrier.

After the expiration of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Empire will no longer consider signing subsequent treaties. Therefore, after the initial construction of two Northeast-class aircraft carriers, four will be continued in 1936, followed by an escort aircraft carrier.

Two high-speed battleships, six cruisers and multiple destroyers, supply ships, build a powerful aircraft carrier group. Conventional operations are based on two aircraft carrier groups and a branch-class fleet is organized, while large-scale naval operations are mixed with three detachments.

The fleet, as the main force of the empire, was all deployed at the Sanduao Naval Base of the Empire's Southern Fleet.

Once needed, this huge imperial central naval southern fleet can directly advance eastward to threaten the entire Japanese mainland.

After Song Biao arrived at the Jinzhou Shipbuilding General Factory, he inspected the shipyard accompanied by Chen Qicai, Chen Houfu, Chen Jiliang and others. Because he adopted many new technologies, especially the requirements for radar configuration, the Northeast-level aircraft carrier was in construction.

It is consciously maintained a slower pace, and it will be completed by the end of 1935 and formal service will be held until 1936.

In other words, the Northeast-class aircraft carrier is the first generation aircraft carrier after the end of the Washington Navy Treaty and will also be the main aircraft carrier in China that directly faces World War II. In addition to radar, this aircraft carrier is also equipped with more mature hydraulic catapults.

Although the empire has completed the theoretical design of steam catapults, there are still many problems that need to be further solved in actual tests and manufacturing.

Because the Northeast-class aircraft carrier does not consider the installation of ** fighter jets, the overall demand for steam catapults is not very urgent. When the technology of hydraulic catapults is relatively simple and mature, the demand can be basically guaranteed, but in the next

In terms of the design of the Northwest-class aircraft carrier, the Empire has considered using a ski jump deck to adapt to the ** fighter jet, and has conducted a lot of experiments for this.

Song Biao did not plan to inspect the shipyard for too long, because the construction of the Northeast-class aircraft carrier was only just the beginning, and the first ship of the Harbin-class cruiser that was supporting it had been half completed. He boarded the Harbin, which was laying the deck, to inspect it.

Anime.

Before this, the Empire had built the Changchun-class cruiser as an exclusive supporting warship for the aircraft carrier fleet. The Harbin-class cruiser built this time is the improved subsequent model of the Changchun-class cruiser. The Changchun-class cruiser is the first generation of the Empire's warship with search radar, and the Northeast.

The radars installed by class aircraft carriers and Harbin-class cruisers are the second-generation radars developed by the Empire, and the models have increased more than the early stages. Different radar detection is used for high altitudes and low altitudes.

After inspecting the Harbin cruiser, Song Biao was in a very happy mood. The steel giant ship was still very fulfilling. He envied the life of naval soldiers who could travel with the ship to the sea.

After leaving the shipyard, Song Biao continued to go to the Far East Shipbuilding Industry Design Institute accompanied by Chen Qicai and others. The first generation of steam catapults of the empire was conducted here for simulation tests, and more tests were conducted secretly in the southern Guangxi waters.

Now only some basic design data and samples are available.

The Central Ship Design Institute in Fuzhou is responsible for the design of the ski jump deck. Interestingly, the Empire arranged the test base of the ski jump deck in the southern waters of Turkmenistan, and built a test ship in Azerbaijan under the name of an oil tanker.

, specifically used for some secret aircraft carrier tests.

The empire's beveled deck design was actually a lot of test work done in the Caspian Sea, and finally it was used on the Northeast-class aircraft carrier with relatively mature design and technology.

The empire's naval strategic focus has shifted to aircraft carriers, but at the media and publicity level, the empire's Ministry of Defense consciously conceals information related to aircraft carriers and deliberately discusses Liangzhou-class and Yongzhou-class battleships in the Far East Daily, these two levels

Battleships have a design standard displacement of 35,000 to 40,000 to 45,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,00

The Yongzhou-class high-speed battleship in the middle was named the Emperor to express his respect for His Majesty the Emperor and built four ships as the backbone of the Imperial Navy.

Japan.

Tokyo, the official residence of Prime Minister Nagata-cho.

Prime Minister's Office of the Great Japanese Empire.

Japanese Prime Minister Keisuke Okada met with Navy Minister Kinmoto Okakuto and Marshal Fumimiya Hirokyo in his office. Keisuke Okada and Hakukoto Fumimiya Hirokyo both had a profound knowledge of Chinese studies. They could read Chinese newspapers at will, desktop What is placed on it is the Far East Daily a few days ago.

The expressions of the three people are as cold as frost.

The report that the Chinese Empire announced that it was possible to withdraw from the Washington Navy Treaty to build an emperor-class battleship with a displacement of 45,000 British tons was completely speechless. The treaty faction within the Japanese Navy was completely finished. That's what he thought .

If China withdraws, Japan will inevitably withdraw. If China wants to build emperor-class battleships, Japan will inevitably build new battleships with a stronger scale. Japan is already in the design of this level of battleships, and related technical research and development have also begun Prepare.

Soldiers never get tired of deceit.

Japan is also claiming to build battleships of the same level to confront China, but what they actually have to consider is a larger Yamato-class battleship, which will be the ultimate battleship with a displacement of more than 60,000 British tons.

Although the sound of the aircraft carrier is not very loud, Kazakhstan is also building aircraft carriers, and Japan obviously wants to continue to build aircraft carriers.

The situation in Japan is really complicated, and Keisuke Okada also felt a big headache. On one side, the expectation that Saito, the minister of the Emperor's mission, should not be enemies of Britain, the United States and China at the same time. On the other side, the royal family, Marshal Fumimiya Miyaki Hirokyo The warship faction was pressed tightly, requiring the Cabinet Navy Provincial Department to make comprehensive concessions to the Navy General Staff Headquarters and respect the opinions of the Navy Headquarters.

There are also the vicious attacks from the army, the aggressiveness of the imperialists, and the exaggerated propaganda and public opinion.

Everything made the newly appointed Prime Minister Okada feel too conflicted and difficult to coordinate. As the Prime Minister of the Empire and a wise man, he hated this kind of plan to compete with the Chinese Empire, although the newspapers always exaggeratedly declared China. The empire was still poor and ignorant, as well as various conflicts within China, and the division seemed to be tomorrow, but he knew very well that the Chinese empire was now stable and unbearable.

Under the pressure of the military headquarters, Okada made a very tough word to oppose the establishment of the Asian League, but he knew very well that Japan did not have the possibility of completely threatening China, and China would not be because of his actions. If you make a tough statement, you will give up the Asian League, and you will not include Japan in the Asian League.

It's really a hell!

Prime Minister Okada cursed in his heart, scratched his head in pain, but his eyes looked at the newspaper on the table. He always felt that this matter was getting more and more outrageous. He could probably be regarded as watching the Chinese Empire go from overthrowing the Qing Dynasty with his own eyes. The country has gradually risen to become the most powerful country in Asia.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1911, although the defeat of the army allowed China to win the war, in the hearts of the Japanese, the Great Japanese Empire still had the advantage of China with its powerful navy, and this advantage has continued from the 1895 year-on-year to this day. For the entire thirty-five, the Japanese have always looked down on the Chinese. What should I do now?

Sitting on the chair, Keisuke Okada leaned against the back of the chair with a headache, closed his eyes and thought deeply, but subconsciously he really wanted to leave immediately.

As the Prime Minister of the Great Japanese Empire, he was still helpless and did not know what to do. As the saying goes, it is difficult to return. This is how Japan is now. It offended China, the United States and Britain at the same time in this Pacific, so it was

Is there something as pitiful as Singapore Conference?

After sighing, Keisuke Okada still had a heavy tone with the Navy Minister Okakuchiki. Marshal Fushimimiya Hirokyo said: "No matter what, a new type of battleship that can represent and maintain the status of the Japanese navy must be built.

So, don't talk about the nonsense of not withdrawing from the Treaty of Washington, but no matter what, the relationship with Britain and the United States should be eased. Although these two Western world powers are also very confused fools, they still have to

Re-establishing friendly relations with them, only in this way can the Great Japanese Empire deal with China better and more concentratedly. No matter what, China is our confidant. The two Indonesian crises and the Sino-Japanese War of 1911 clearly prove this

A little bit?"

As the last supporter of the Japanese Navy's internal treaty faction, Okakuchiko was speechless. Faced with the oppression of the warship faction and the military headquarters, he had no choice but to agree to the warship faction's request, and it was even more impossible to resist the naval commander's order.

See the request of King Gong Bogong, the royal marshal, the general of the army.
