Chapter 208 War Prophecy
"If the appearance of armored vehicles will attract other countries to quickly imitate similar products, and the emergence of aircraft carriers will make it impossible for them to imitate similar equipment in a short time."
"The construction of an aircraft carrier platform is not very complicated, and it can even be converted into an aircraft carrier using ordinary cargo ships. However, the key to the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is aircraft carrier-based aircraft. It will take at least five years for countries to develop aircraft carrier-based aircraft. If our carrier-based aircraft successfully test flights this year, we will be more than a few years ahead of the world."
"If the aircraft carrier-based aircraft test is successful, mass production will begin in the second half of the year. More than 100 carrier-based aircraft must be launched for training next year. To master the take-off and landing of aircraft carriers, it will take some time to explore. It must reserve a certain amount of time to familiarize the combat performance of this new equipment, study the tactics of rational use, and ultimately form a strong combat power." Li Tiancheng said slowly again.
"With these two aircraft carriers, our army can make up for the shortcomings of warship tonnage and warships. In local naval battles, our army should be invincible in the world. It's really gratifying." Yan Li continued with expectation in his eyes.
"Well, the emergence of aircraft carriers will completely change the traditional naval warfare model. Before countries can adapt to this new equipment, our aircraft carrier fleet will undoubtedly have absolute advantages. With the protection of submarines and destroyers, the overall combat capability of the fleet will be equivalent to several traditional fleets. One aircraft carrier fleet should be no less than three enemy fleets with the same tonnage at the same time." Li Tiancheng said again.
"The three items provided by President Li are really in time. Their gradual arrangement will greatly promote our military power and make the Japanese completely scared." Ma Chaoyun continued. "President Li has developed his military equipment on such a large scale, and I am afraid that he has already planned to use them to deal with the Japanese. I wonder when the President will attack the Japanese?" Ma Chaoyun's eyes flashed a few times, and he turned to look at Li Tiancheng and asked.
"The one who knows me is Ma Chaoyun. I have put so much effort into developing national defense. The primary enemy is Japan. This thorn in Japan must be removed and they cannot stay in the northern part of our country. Now Yuan Shikai and Puyi have become puppets of the Japanese and will only be at their mercy. If this continues, the north will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Japanese. On land, we have no absolute advantage, we must rely on the power of the navy and air force." Li Tiancheng laughed and then smiled and closed.
"As for when to attack Japan, I think it should be around 1914." Li Tiancheng then pondered for a moment, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
"Why is it in 1914?" Ma Chaoyun said in confusion. He had already sensed that Li Tiancheng had an astonishing judgment on the development of the future situation. Since Li Tiancheng said this this time, he must have made sense.
"This is my prediction. I expect that the contradictions between world capitalist powers are growing rapidly. The accumulation of contradictions between them will sooner or later reach a historical critical point. Once this critical point is broken, the conflict between the two sides will break out in the situation of war."
"And this future war is likely to be an unprecedented large-scale war in the era of hot weapons for mankind. Before this war comes, we must prepare for the future and wait until the war breaks out, that is, the moment we can make great progress." Li Tiancheng responded slowly.
"Oh, how can I see it?" Yan Lisan also knew that Li Tiancheng's unfathomableness and his strong ability to predict future things were well known to Zhuge Liang in advance, and immediately asked with interest.
"Explaining this issue requires analysis from the current world pattern. The current world situation seems stable, but in fact there are still many hidden dangers. Although the contradictions between many countries have been temporarily put on hold, once these complex contradictions break out in a concentrated manner, the vibration caused will be severe and may affect the entire world."
"As you can see that there is an emerging power in Europe that is rising at this time, with a strong development momentum, and it is very strong and is about to surpass Britain and France. At present, the world pattern is relatively stable. Britain and France occupy the interests of most of the world's colonies and regions. The rise of an emerging power will surely break this balance and have friction with Britain and France in terms of interests. When the conflicts between the two sides accumulate to a certain extent, it will reach an incompatible situation, resulting in irreconcilable conflicts. A struggle to re-dividate the world's colonies and broad economic interests is about to begin. This struggle may soon escalate to the war model. Large-scale wars are likely to unfold in this conflicted area in Europe." Li Tiancheng began to explain in detail.
"The principal is talking about Germany. The Germans are indeed catching up with Britain and France in terms of industrial development and technical strength, and they are in a rapid momentum, which is a trend to challenge the status of these two old capitalist empires, especially the global hegemony. Germany's colonies and vested interests around the world cannot be compared with Britain and France. A large number of resources in the world are controlled by Britain and France. Germany's further development requires a large amount of energy and funds to maintain. If the vast majority of the world continue to be controlled by Britain and France, Germany will never be able to surpass Britain and France as a whole, so there will definitely be huge conflicts in interests between them." Yan Lisan continued. When he was in school, he studied colonial history a lot and knew all aspects of European colonies very well.
"It's well said that the first one in the world to obtain overseas colonies was not the two industrial and military powers of Britain and France, but the Spanish and the Dutch. After Columbus discovered the American continent, Spain massacred a large number of Indians there and then immigrated to the Americas, making America a veritable colony. At that time, almost all the colonies in the world belonged to them." Li Tiancheng said again.
As the few people were talking, they got on the car. Li Tiancheng took Huang Xing, Ma Chaoyun, and Yan Lisan to his car and continued their topic. Tiejia No. 1 also slowly began to drive through the factory gate and towards the cement road outside. The huge vibration made the ground tremble slightly. When this terrifying big guy passed by, the soldiers standing guard couldn't help but feel awe at it, and their minds were rippling.
"But with the emergence of British industrial **, Britain's industrial and military strength increased greatly. The British navy began to seize colonies with Spain, the Netherlands and other countries around the world. The French also rose. After the rise of Britain and France, the British fleet defeated the powerful Spanish fleet for the first time, causing the Spanish navy to rapidly decline in its status as the world navy. An old empire fell and became a second-rate country. The world changed its master and became a stage for Britain and France to continue to perform, re-dividing the colonies, causing many wars to break out between Britain and France, or between Britain and France, and finally formed a relatively stable world colony."
"One of the British colonies is the most extensive. Asia's West and Central Asia, North America and other regions have almost all become British colonies. As far as Hong Kong, China, France has also obtained stable colonies in Africa, Asia, North America and other places, second only to Britain in scale. Most of the world has been divided up by these two countries. Old empires such as Spain have declined and have no strength to fight against Britain and France, but they still retain the traditional South American colonies."
"The rise of Germany will surely cause the European powers to divide the colonies again before, and there are many internal contradictions in Europe. Due to the historical Franco-Prussian War between Germany and France, Prussia occupied the land of the northeast of France and has not been returned to this day. These two regions contain rich coal and other resources. In addition, the complex contradictions between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans, wars and provocations are constantly being carried out, and the shadow of the Russians has always been lingering. Europe is like a fierce and turbulent powder barrel, which will explode sooner or later. Once the war breaks out, it may sweep the entire European continent and form an unprecedented world war." Li Tiancheng continued to analyze.
"The president's analysis is reasonable, but if a large-scale war breaks out between the great powers, can't the new China be safe and stay out of the matter?" Huang Xing asked again.
"Now, the interests of all countries in the world have been mixed together. China has also aroused the vigilance of all countries in the world because of the emergence of new education and the vigorous development of industrial and military power. We may not be out of the matter, because once the war breaks out, countries in the world may form two opposing camps, and China will be forced to join one of them. Since European powers have troops and interests in China, the war they broke out in Europe will inevitably be continued in China, so we will be the root of
We cannot stay out of the matter, we must make a clear position and support one of them, and deal with the other, otherwise we will demarcate a war zone in the Northeast just like the corrupt and incompetent Qing government treating the Russo-Japanese War, allowing the great powers to fight on our land, causing huge losses to our people and property. This is something that our new Chinese government will never allow. If so, we will have no face to face our descendants and become a regime that loses powers and humiliates the country, and will not be far from falling." Li Tiancheng responded.
"That is, the possibility of us joining the war is very high, so we don't need to prepare early."
"From another aspect, Japan and other countries will be willing to take advantage of this war to attack the new China Kingdom, and they may be under the pretext of launching large-scale troops."...
