Jiang Yu painstakingly managed the army, so that the Chinese army could become a blockbuster in the future, sweeping across the Eurasian continent, and defeating the Western system in one fell swoop.

At that time, it is time to establish the Eastern Civilization System.

As for the navy, Xie Baozhang once again clamored to build a battleship, but the navy's plan to build a battleship was once again "shot" by Jiang Yu. [

"Marshal, why can't it be built? The navy can't form any decent combat power without building battleships." Xie Baozhang asked Jiang Yu depressed.

"Old Xie, battleships are already obsolete, and we don't need to build them now." Seeing that Xie Baozhang was a little discouraged, Jiang Yu quickly enlightened him: "In the future in Asia, we will be able to guarantee Asia’s sea power is over. In the future, the navy should develop in the direction of an aircraft carrier.”

"There is nothing wrong with that, but these battleships are still too shabby!" Xie Baozhang also knew that it was the general trend for aircraft to replace battleships as the hegemony.

Whether it was the Sino-Japanese Shandong War or the Gallipoli battle between the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers, aircraft showed terrifying destructive power to ships.

This also shows that the aircraft carrier is indeed the future development direction of the navy.

"Eight ships are already a lot, and they can still be used to make do with them." Jiang Yu couldn't help comforting Xie Baozhang: "It is not forbidden to build battleships, but now, thank you, you have to see that after the European war is over, China will The main task of the navy. After the end of the European War, our expansion direction is mainly in the north of Russia. The possibility of the navy participating in the war is very low. However, the British merchant ships, which had almost monopolized shipping, were attacked, and many British merchant ships were backward. At the same time, the merchant ships of Germany are also finished, so isn’t it a good time for the development of China’s shipping industry?”

"En." Xie Baozhang nodded.

"Then the mission of the navy is to protect the safety of merchant ships, so we need to build more destroyers to ensure that the navy has enough power to protect merchant ships. In addition, now is a great opportunity for the development of China's shipping industry. We should seize the opportunity and try not to waste our Try to build as many merchant ships as possible. So don’t think about building battleships now, and don’t build large aircraft carriers for experimentation. Just build one or two small ships for experimentation. What do you think after the war? How to make it." Jiang Yu continued to enlighten.

"Okay! That's the only way to go." Xie Baozhang could only accept this depressing reality. What he hopes most now is to build some advanced battleships and aircraft carriers.Otherwise, the status of the navy is really embarrassing.

At this time, the Chinese navy is indeed rather embarrassing. Since the rise of China, the navy has only been hiding behind the air force's buttocks to clean up the battlefield.

It's really embarrassing!

What the navy can do now is to escort the army to land operations. The latest chapter of the alloy skin bag.

But fortunately, the navy's submarine force is quite competitive, showing its face in the Sino-Japanese War. At the same time, the navy's submarines also threatened the United States, prompting the United States to bow to China.

At this time, the Chinese Navy already had eighty capital destroyers and ten light cruisers.Due to the construction direction of protecting merchant ships, there are no battleships or aircraft carriers in the navy's construction project this year, only destroyers and light cruisers.

The Navy plans to order another thirty destroyers from the shipyard, as well as six light cruisers.To eliminate the pirates active among the Nanyang Islands.

空军方面的建设相对简单。继续采购200架兰开斯特轰炸机,使空军拥有的兰开斯特轰炸机达到500架。同时采购300架容克ju88轰炸机,蚊式轰炸机只采购500架。

Now the air force has enough mosquito bombers. If we purchase another 500 this year, the number will rise to a terrifying level of 3000.

But Mosquito bombers are made of wood after all.Therefore, the cost is very cheap, and it is relatively easy to manufacture, the performance is very good, and the survivability is also extremely high.The price/performance ratio is the highest among all aircraft, so it is not bad to equip more air forces.

...[

290 million!

Seeing this number, Song Jiaoren's hands couldn't help shaking.

The report on the army's expansion was sent directly to the central government, but it was more like a circular. The central government has always not asked about military issues, and the central government only allocated funds.

The military of the Republic of China was grasped by Jiang Yu.

Song Jiaoren looked at the map in confusion, Nanyang wanted to gather 60 troops, why expand the army?It is not enough to transfer troops directly from the northwest.

Jiangyu has been hoarding troops to the Northwest for years. Although China and Russia have an agreement to reduce border troops, Jiangyu did not directly concentrate its troops on the border, but scattered 130 million troops in the Northwest provinces.

That's 130 million!

There are still 110 million troops in the Northeast!

Can't transfer 20 people?

Song Jiaoren turned his gaze to the north, which is Russia, which is famous for its 'steam roller'.

"It seems that it won't be long before China will go to war with Russia." Song Jiaoren thought while stroking his beard. At this time, China has waged wars year after year. Although many of them were small-scale wars, they were not because of regaining lost ground. and the like.

At this time, China, France, and China and Britain resolved their territorial disputes through negotiations. Both France and Britain returned the Chinese territories they occupied. Japan was wiped out again, and the only thing left was Russia.

Among the great powers, Russia occupied the most territory in China.

Russia's desire for territory is beyond imagination, and it is completely impossible to recover the occupied land through negotiation.

With Jiang Yu's iron and blood skills, it is not uncommon to start a war.

In fact, Song Jiaoren didn't want to start a war too much at this time, because China now has some indigestion, and the development of many provinces in the country is still relatively backward. Although the common people have money, they have not been satisfied in real estate.

Under such circumstances, Song Jiaoren felt that China should rest and recuperate for a period of time, and raise enough people's strength before launching a war abroad.

However, Song Jiaoren really had no way to intervene in military affairs. The only thing that made Song Jiaoren more fortunate was that Jiang Yu knew how to control the scale of all previous wars and would not squander money at will.

After several years of intermittent wars, not only did the finances fail to decline, but the government got a large amount of financial revenue following the distribution of spoils. Please stay tuned for the latest chapter.

However, Song Jiaoren went to doubt whether he would receive any benefits if he went to war against Russia.

Now there are a large group of Russians pouring into China, all of them smell like alcohol, Honda doesn't have half a penny on his body, and Russia's industry is not very developed.

When the time comes to war with Russia, I am afraid that there will not be too many spoils. [

However, those land and minerals are still worth some money. After each war, the military will sell the land and minerals it has laid down to the consortium, and the government can also get a sum of money.

Now Russia is basically the only enemy in Asia, and the big powers no longer dare to bully China. The external environment facing the Republic of China has been much better, and it is much easier to resist Russia's military pressure.This was achieved by Jiang Yu's use of war, so Song Jiaoren did not dislike war.

I just feel that China is currently recuperating its people's strength, and it is not too late to calm down for a while, develop its internal economy, and then sharpen its sword.

But soon Song Jiaoren's hope was shattered.

Jiang Yu was about to strike again.

This time, instead of dealing with Russia as Song Jiaoren thought, he aimed at Thailand.

At this time, Thailand was called Siam, and it had not yet been renamed the Kingdom of Thailand.

Siam was in the period of the Bangkok Dynasty at this time. After the reform of Rama V, the population of the Bangkok Dynasty increased to 900 million, and the fiscal revenue increased to 460 million pounds. At that time, a large number of Chinese opened rice mills and canning factories in Siam , textile factories, cement factories, etc., have enabled the rapid development of Siam's economy, and the increase in fiscal revenue has enabled Siam to invest money in construction, making the influence of Siam's reforms the reform of Asian countries after Japan's Meiji Restoration. .

Rama V is a relatively friendly king, and he is not bad to the Chinese.

But when his 29th child (Rama V is a big stallion and gave birth to 77 children) Rama VI succeeded to the throne, the Siamese government first implemented the Chinese exclusion system in the Indochina Peninsula.

Restrict the political power of the Chinese, suppress the Chinese economy, and prevent the spread of Han culture.

It was precisely because of Rama VI’s anti-Chinese actions that Jiang Yu was determined to attack Siam, and the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China began to gather at the border of Siam in the Mekong Delta (sorry, the Mekong Delta was labeled as the Red River Delta in the previous article).

King Rama VI immediately panicked. After he ascended the throne seven years ago, he began to exclude Chinese in Siam shortly thereafter.

At that time, China was still in the period of warlord separatism, and there was no time to take care of Siam, and the reforms in Siam were not small. Seeing that Japan repeatedly cut flesh from China, there was no fear of China. Seeing the Chinese in Siam Starting a business and making a lot of money, King Rama VI rejected the Chinese with red eyes.

It was nothing at all, but not long ago China was fighting the United States because the United States excluded China.

However, the U.S. government quickly succumbed after the Philippine Islands were captured. The horrified King Rama VI immediately canceled the Chinese exclusion policy, hoping to be a fish that slipped through the net.

But under the eyes of China, and Thailand has the largest number of Chinese among Southeast Asian countries, it is basically impossible to get away with it.

Siamese Chinese have long reflected Siam's anti-Chinese problem to Beijing.

When King Rama VI saw that the National Defense Forces began to gather on the border of Siam, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. However, after a series of reforms at this time, Siam also established a military system, and King Rama VI was not willing to be a vassal of China. country, which made Rama VI also begin to build up the army to the border.

"His grandma, this 'Diarrhea' VI has really eaten the guts. He openly rejected Chinese, and now he is still trying to disobey the country. I really don't want to live." Li Shoujing stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance through the binoculars. The Siam Army barracks sneered.
