. The war, at first, shocked the whole world. September 9th. Germany invades Poland, and Britain, France, and Australia declare war on Germany. On September 5, the United States declared neutrality. On September 6, South Africa declared war on Germany. On September 10, Canada declared war on Germany.
Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on September 27.
A series of military offensive plans have dazzled the world. The Chinese government is currently conducting a national election for its fourth government. Suddenly, I was bewildered by such shocking changes in the international situation. Not that **. Rather, the important information held by the International Security Bureau, which is responsible for international intelligence, generally avoids the most important and rarely submits it to the presidential palace.
Chen Zhongfang is also very clear about his functions and missions. He mostly ignores international security affairs and only focuses on the legalization process of the country. So Chen Zhongfang was shocked after receiving such shocking information. Rushed to the Ministry of Defense overnight. When I arrived at the National Defense Force, I saw that although the order was busier than usual, it was well organized and there was no panic at all. When they came to the duty room of the National Defense Force, several military staff officers were analyzing a European military map. They looked everywhere and couldn't even see the shadow of Hua Fei and many important generals.
Chen Zhongfang couldn't help but said anxiously, "Where are you, Minister Hua, who is in a critical situation due to the outbreak of the European War?"
When Chen Zhongfang heard this, the first thing she thought of was Hua Fei. Think about it, only Hua Fei can make the decisive decision on the national security strategy of today's country at this critical moment. Although Chen Zhongfang also understood that he seemed to be a puppet, Chen Zhongfang also understood that his power as a puppet was still very great. Hua Fei almost ignored him in other fields except military affairs. Therefore, even if some outsiders call him the substitute Chen Zhongfang, they are not unhappy at all.
Several staff officers are very old. The military ranks are not high and they all belong to the second generation of military staff officers of the National Defense Force, that is, young people who grew up in the 1920s. Compared with the first generation of military staff officers, this generation can be said to have grown up under the influence of Hua Fei. They not only respect Hua Fei, but also have an inexplicable admiration for him.
Seeing the president in person, several people saluted in a standard manner. In response to the president's question, a young man in his thirties smiled and said, "Go back to Mr. President. It is off duty now, and the minister should be at home."
"At home?" Chen Zhongfang was obviously a little confused by this answer. War was already raging in Europe. Is it possible that Hua Fei didn't care about this? impossible!
It seems that Chen Zhongfang¡¯s psychology can be seen. The staff officer continued, "Mr. Minister has completed a meeting with the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense and submitted an analysis and recommendation report to the Presidential Palace. This report should have been submitted to the Presidential Palace by now. In addition, the National Defense Forces formulated a plan three months ago. The report points out that the world may undergo major changes within six months. So the President, please do not worry about the situation in Europe. Mr. Minister and the General Staff are already prepared!"
When Chen Zhongfang heard that even this young staff officer was so ambitious, Chen Zhongfang was relieved and secretly ashamed. Compared to the shock of the Ministry of National Defense, the president was a little less calm. But Chen Zhongfang was not interested in the report. Instead, he sat down and discussed the situation in Europe with several junior staff officers.
In the Zhongjing Military Compound, Hua Fei was holding his one-year-old son and pulling his four-year-old second daughter and was happily chatting with his wife as reports came from outside the door. When he heard that Chen Zhongfang was staying in the duty room of the Ministry of National Defense, he couldn't help but smile to his wife and said, "There is really nothing we can do against our President. Don't you know it's off duty time? After all, he is also the President. I'd better go and see it." ".
"Go and wait for you to come back and sleep!"
"There's no need to wait tonight. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while!"
Chen Zhongfang stayed in the Ministry of National Defense and Hua Fei had to show up. Although Hua Fei basically did not have to do this, he still went to the office. Chen Zhongfang did not expect that Hua Fei would come over. She was moved but also a little worried. Until he saw Hua Fei was not angry at all. Only then did I feel relieved.
Even Hua Fei and the big bosses of the Ministry of National Defense appeared one after another, but they could not continue to stay at home. Anyway, if you have nothing to do, let¡¯s talk to the president about his future strategic direction and how he should respond to questions from the media.
The slogan was used to declare peace interests in the United States.
During World War I, China relied on amassing a large amount of wealth. Therefore, the main direction of China's national policy at the beginning of World War II will certainly not change. It¡¯s just that history has gone in a wrong direction. Because the Soviet Union did not rule Russia, Russia, which had just completed the reconciliation and reunification, has completely fallen behind in the internal strife in these years and no longer has the strong heavy industry system established during the Soviet Five-Year Plan. It is foreseeable that not only the Russians will find it difficult to support Germany's possible offensive, but also that the Soviet Union, a strong hegemon after the war, will not reappear.
The influence of the United States in North America is not great, although during the Great Depression, Hua Fei made huge wealth from the United States and used acquisitions. It quietly destroyed a lot of the production capacity of heavy industries such as steel and shipbuilding in the United States, and at the same time took away tens of thousands of American technical and engineering personnel.?But compared to the huge economic foundation and industrial strength of the United States, this impact is really negligible.
If everything still does not exert the power to change, then the United States will inevitably make significant changes in the outcome of World War II and use World War II to once again amass wealth and become a strong hegemon after the war.
The situation in Asia has also changed. Japan does not have the strength to move westward and expand towards the continental shelf again. But the new Imperial Navy that he had tried his best to develop was still a strength that could not be ignored. Especially since the successful coup of young Japanese officers, the trend of imitating Britain and becoming an oceanic empire on which the sun never sets has become rampant in Japan. After forming an alliance with Germany, some Japanese hawks even threatened to let Germany rule Europe and Africa and let Japan rule the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Europe has gone through such a war. No matter who wins in the end, they must have paid a heavy price. It will probably be even more difficult to regain their former position as the central power.
So for China at this time, it is to guarantee the sale of arms and various war materials. Just like the United States in history, it was a huge war windfall.
With the rapid changes in the war situation in Europe, the German army magically broke through the Maginot Line and Paris, Belgium fell. French Prime Minister P¨¦tain surrendered. For a time, Germany was unstoppable in Europe and the situation with the Allies became extremely bad.
What¡¯s worse is that at the end of last year, the Japanese Navy used the excuse of damaged warships to forcefully dock in Adelaide, Australia, which caused a dispute between Japan and Australia. Japan deployed a large force to defeat Adelaide and Perth Geelong in just one week. Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and other major cities along Australia's coast concentrated their main forces and took Canberra in just five days. Most of the densely populated areas along Australia's coast were almost completely occupied by the Japanese army in just one month. Japan then declared an attack on Australia. Mandate.
Australia, the year of magic is officially **! In the same year, Canberra was designated as the capital, gaining complete autonomy in domestic and foreign affairs and becoming an independent country in the Commonwealth. The nominal head of state of Australia is the Queen of the United Kingdom, who appoints the Governor-General. However, the Governor-General does not interfere in government affairs only as a symbolic figure. It exists. Most people in Australia are of British and Irish descent, while only a small number of indigenous people and Asians are descendants of other European countries.
Australia is a country with vast land and sparse population. This country is rich in resources and products and is known as the country sitting on the mine cart and the country sitting on the sheep. For Japan, after its westward continental shelf plan is damaged, a good choice for eastward expansion is undoubtedly Australia. If it can gain a foothold in Australia, it will gain a brand new development space for the Japanese nation. And most people in Australia are immigrants and there are very few real indigenous people. If Japan can occupy Australia, those British and European immigrants will choose to immigrate again even if they are unwilling to stay, and they will definitely not fight the Japanese army for the land where they have lived for generations.
But after all, this is a tributary of the British Commonwealth, and the Japanese occupation of this place is absolutely intolerable to the British. Although the British dispatched a fleet to Australia, even the British themselves understood that this squadron was definitely no match for the Japanese main fleet. What's more important is that Europe is now in danger under German tanks and aircraft. The Germans may launch an attack on Britain at any time. If Britain drags the main force of its navy to fight the Japanese navy at this time, it will obviously be an unrealistic risk.
Looking at Australia, there are only two people who can check and balance Japan: one is the United States and the other is China. The United States guarded him. After all, China and Japan were neighbors who fought to the death and could be considered enemies. The British tried to use their big bargaining chip to exchange for China's containment of Japan.
Not only did Britain quickly compromise on the Hong Kong issue, but it also assured the Chinese government that once the war was over, Britain would definitely agree to China's dominance in Asia and support China's exercise of greater power in the League of Nations, promising to purchase more goods and arms from China.
In fact, it is not surprising that the British compromised on the Hong Kong issue. Since Macau was forcefully taken back by the Chinese government, the wave of Hong Kong's return has been very strong. After all, Hong Kong in this era has not been separated for a long time, and the oppression of Hong Kong people by foreigners is very cruel. Coupled with the inaction and lag of the British Hong Kong government after the 1992 typhoon. A large number of Hong Kong people died in the disaster, which became the trigger for the complete explosion of Hong Kong people.
The Chinese government sent public police and armed police to seize the opportunity to station in many areas of Hong Kong and form a confrontation with the British troops in Hong Kong. It was only because both sides were very restrained that there was no conflict. These armed police officers were not withdrawn from Hong Kong even during the negotiations. On the contrary, because of the sudden outbreak of the European War, the British withdrew many officers and soldiers from Hong Kong.
The British understand that if the Chinese want to forcibly take back Hong Kong at this time, they will be absolutely powerless to resist. Rather than that. It would be better to just go along with the flow and return Hong Kong to China as a favor to win China's support for Britain on certain issues.
At the beginning of the year, the Chinese National Defense Force had begun to take shape after decades of construction.
The Army has a total of 35 regular troops and 105 land forces.The number of regular troops in each division is about 340,000, with a total of about 1.1 to 50,000 soldiers, including about 1 million combat personnel.
In addition, the Army has a reserve force of 100 corps and 300 infantry divisions, totaling approximately 3.2 million troops. Most of these reservists are veterans but are under the age of forty. Composed of veterans who comply with relevant provisions of reserve regulations. If necessary, they can be set up in a very short period of time and can jump into battle with little training. Moreover, some veterans have participated in many tough battles in the country. In terms of combat experience in the war, it can be said that it is better than that of the young men who are almost all in the regular army.
?That is to say, regardless of the militia. The entire country can form a huge army of more than four million soldiers in a very short period of time. No wonder that when the European War broke out, both Hua Fei himself and the entire Ministry of National Defense seemed calm, relaxed, and not nervous. With such a large army and a very combat-effective army, who do you think would dare to easily wipe out a tiger's beard by thousands? To some extent. This is also the fundamental reason why Japan¡¯s westward continental shelf plan was completely aborted.
The Army¡¯s mechanization construction path has not stopped in recent years. Especially since the new round of high investment in military construction a few years ago, the Army has obviously accelerated the pace of mechanization construction. The 105 army divisions of the 35th Army have now completed half of the planned construction of 30 fully armored divisions. Another thirty semi-mechanized and semi-motorized army divisions have been formed first. The remaining forty-five army divisions are entirely infantry divisions and are only equipped with basic transport vehicles. Some of these infantry divisions are needed for armored division operations. This is a standard construction based on different combat functions.
In Asia, even if China faces the Russian army, it does not need to attack France with a tank flow like the powerful Germany. Therefore, the armored division ratio of thirty divisions is enough to deal with all imaginary enemies that can be thought of at present. Even in the face of the German attack, this powerful tank force was enough to frighten the Germans.
Most of the tanks equipped by the thirty armored divisions are the latest Warrior VI main battle tanks. This tank can be said to be the most advanced technological crystallization of China's weapons industry. He not only adopted design concepts such as composite armor and added a new tank main gun, but also integrated various shortcomings encountered by the Warrior tank from the first to the fifth generation and inherited most of their advantages. If the Type 1 to Type 5 tanks are just technical updates in terms of details, then the Type 6 tank is undoubtedly a leap forward compared to any previous tank, and even the appearance of the Type 6 tank can no longer be seen to be related to the previous tanks. . This is a turning point in the Tank Industry Exhibition, and it can also be said to be a masterpiece of the Warrior Tank Exhibition up to now.
A year ago, the Chinese Army purchased all the main battle tanks it could buy from abroad and conducted secret actual combat drills. According to the exercise results, under the assumption that they appear at the same distance and fire at the same time, the main battle tank artillery of all countries in the world cannot destroy the armor of the Warrior Type VI main battle tank, but the main gun of the Type VI tank can easily tear apart. Any type of tank of the other party.
This is not to say that the Type VI tanks are extremely advanced, but that the tanks in various countries around the world are too backward. Relative to the tank exhibition design concepts of many countries. The development and progress of Chinese tanks undoubtedly has a lot to do with the many sketches provided by Hua Fei.
If the Type VI tank has a shortcoming, it is that advanced technology will inevitably bring high price. And because it pursues technological advancement too much, it has poor reliability and stability in actual combat. The Type VI tanks are somewhat deficient. Therefore, the Type 6 tanks that equip a large number of troops are not Type 6 prototypes. It is a streamlined and simplified mass-produced Type VI tank. Although the performance of the six tanks designed by Jiang Hua has declined, the cost has also dropped significantly, and the reliability, stability and maintainability have also been improved.
The Air Force, like the Army, was previously restricted by disarmament and military control. The Air Force's aircraft updates for many years have been extremely pitiful. Some units are still using old aircraft equipped during World War I. It is terrible to look at it. Fortunately, the training aircraft used by the pilots have always been the latest models even after they entered the army. Many pilots simply take turns flying the limited number of training aircraft and new fighter aircraft in the unit. Most of the old aircraft are treated as antiques to visit.
After the new army expansion plan began, many aircraft that had completed their design and finalization in the aircraft manufacturing factory began to be put into mass production. Among them, two types of fighter jets were put into production at one time: the 4-butcher fighter, the Night Owl fighter. The 4-button fighter is not yet an all-metal fighter, but it has achieved great results in many exercises and confrontations due to its maneuverability, flexibility, high cost performance and high performance. Therefore, in this period when the era of all-metal aircraft is about to begin, it can be seen how difficult it is for him to still win the favor of Huafei.
As its name suggests, it can fight at night and around the clock. Because it is equipped with many advanced instruments and even the latest developed airborne radar system, it is relatively expensive. And the maneuverability and flexibility cannot meet the needs of the air.The demand for combat operations makes it possible for Yifa to survive as a very cost-effective transitional aircraft.
What will actually be equipped with the troops is still undergoing further experiments to improve the long-awaited stone fighter of the Air Force. This aircraft is expected to begin to be equipped with a large number of troops in 2008. The world-famous American Tomahawk Lightning Thunderbolt, the British Spitfire, the German Biji, etc. Famous machines have begun to equip the troops or have already entered service. Nowadays, the stones designed and built by the Chinese are bound to come out and shock the world.
Except for fighter jets. The Air Force's dive bomber development undoubtedly receives more attention than any other aircraft type. Not only the blunt-warhead dive bomber, an old bomber, has been studied and improved countless times. The latest improved model is still in production and the Army attaches great importance to it. The Avenger dive bomber, which has a longer range and more advanced technology, has gradually replaced the blunt warhead as the main dive bomber of the Air Force. In addition, the Flying Shark dive bombers and Knife torpedo attack aircraft, which the Navy relies heavily on, form the main force of the Navy's air long-range attacks.
When talking about dive bombers, we have to mention bombers. Since the Chinese Air Force's air supremacy in China and even Asia has never been shaken by anyone, fighter pilots have encountered few challenges. Even though the Japanese Air Force is rapidly rising, the Chinese Air Force is still confident in maintaining its air supremacy. Whether it is historical achievements or practical needs. The Air Force's bombers are undoubtedly an extremely important strategic and tactical force. Therefore, bombers have always been the top priority at China's aviation industry exhibitions.
In the early days, the Chinese Air Force had the famous Small 2 bomber, and based on the bomber, it developed a variety of models that foreign counterparts called the Bluebird Zhao bomber. Later, the aircraft manufacturer launched two new bomber aircraft with larger bomb loads, but neither of them was equipped in large quantities until the emergence of the Little Death Bird long-range strategic bomber.
The design requirements of the Fanli are that it must be a long-range bomber with a range of more than 10 kilometers and a total weight of about 20 tons and a bomb load of no less than six tons. According to China's imaginary enemies in the future, the most realistic threat to China is Japan. And a distance of four kilometers. It will be able to achieve full coverage bombing of Japanese territory from China's mainland.
China¡¯s air force exhibition plan is ambitious. While the design and research on the Fanli long-range bomber has just made progress, China¡¯s highest level has invested funds in research and decided to pre-research a model with a longer range. A heavy bomber with a heavier overall weight and a larger bomb load. This behemoth, with a total design weight of 100,000 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 100,000 tons, is completely tailor-made for Hua Fei's "scorched earth plan".
According to Hua Fei¡¯s request to the Air Force, if necessary, the Air Force must conduct long-distance raids to carry out scorched earth bombings against any possible potential enemy. That's why the Air Force proposed strong development and design plans to several domestic aircraft manufacturers after the Scorched Earth Plan was proposed.
Also known as the Class Death Bird, it uses a high-power Gundam engine from the Four Gold Netstone engine factory. It is designed to have a four-horsepower engine and a 12-horsepower engine. The design has a range of up to 10 kilometers, a combat range of 10 kilometers, a maximum bomb load of 8 tons, and a cruising speed of 10 kilometers. The highest height can be reached when assisting kilometers. And it can climb up to an altitude of 10,000 meters, a height that most fighter jets cannot reach now or even during World War II.
The Class Death Bird program caused a huge shock even within the military. Many people were puzzled by the investment of such a huge amount of money to develop such an advanced weapon before the country had no visible real military threat. However, even in the face of resistance-level Death Bird, it still launched as scheduled without slowing down at all.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that China¡¯s jet aircraft research project entered the comprehensive experimental stage after Zhang Nian was officially established. In addition to using different power systems, jet aircraft and traditional propeller aircraft are also suitable for different flight environments. Propeller-type aircraft need to use propellers to disturb the surrounding air to propel themselves forward, so they cannot fly in high altitudes where the air density is too thin. On the contrary, due to different engine operating principles, jet aircraft need to achieve optimal propulsion efficiency at an altitude of 4 to 4 meters, which will bring air combat to a new level. It also brings aviation into a new field and era. The exhibition of jet aircraft is also consistent with the air show concept of higher, farther and faster proposed by Huafei.
In fact, Romanian Henry Coanda designed and manufactured the world's first jet aircraft Coanda as early as 2008. However, Coanda had an accident during its first test flight and never landed safely. Swallow the sword in August of the new year! A successful jet aircraft flight can be regarded as a jet aircraft in the true sense. Therefore, it is not too early but not too late to start researching jet aircraft in the Chinese Year of the Witch.
In addition, China¡¯s aviation industry has also developed and produced various aircraft such as reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft, passenger aircraft and even novel helicopters. And in order to increase exports, the aircraft models are even more diverse. After the start of Europe. Not only are numerous domestic industries in China beginning to usher in a new spring, but the arms industry is also working overtime. Entering a new round of flight production period.
The navy has always been the focus of the development and construction of the national defense forces.In 2017, in addition to continuing to purchase new warships to improve the construction of the main fleet of the Second Fleet, the Mauritius Navy also began to strengthen the construction and development of landing warfare.
Several battleships of the First Fleet are also the warships Derflinger purchased from Germany. McKenson and others have also carried out large-scale modernization in recent years, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. improvement.
The First Fleet's Eastern Giant aircraft carrier has aged after years of service and will be transferred to reserve after repairs. Therefore, the First Fleet has only one aircraft carrier left for a while. The Second Fleet was at the beginning of the European War. All warship equipment plans have been basically completed. Although the entire fleet does not have a single battleship, no one doubts that the Second Fleet is the most powerful main fleet of the Chinese Navy.
The strength of the Third Fleet is the weakest, but the strength of the warships that have been eliminated in large numbers by the First and Second Fleets in recent years has also improved. Although those eliminated warships are somewhat outdated for the First and Second Fleets. But they are all good things for the Third Fleet! In particular, the aircraft carrier Eastern Giant has been transferred to reserve after decommissioning, but it is under the name of the Third Fleet. This allows the Third Fleet to have the de facto first carrier.
The entire navy except for the three major fleets. The Navy's submarine force is an independent branch of the military. There are two types of submarine forces. One is the main submarine force that belongs to the major fleets and is responsible for anti-submarine surveillance and other tasks under the water of each major fleet. The other is the main submarine force that is directly under the leadership of the Navy and is independent of the three major fleets.
Naval submarines have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese Navy. These heroic sea wolves made great contributions to the Chinese Navy. Now they also travel in the oceans in the most mysterious manner. Always carry out the orders of the Navy Department.
The development of submarines is astonishing. Over the years, more than ten submarine models have been developed. There are not only small inshore attack submarines, but also large ocean-going attack submarines, mine-laying submarines, special submarines, etc. Nowadays, the most popular model among sailors is the large-scale equipment with the most complete technology, the highest performance and the most popular submarines.
It is worth mentioning that. Small. The submarines that are not among the most technologically advanced are on the Navy's latest procurement list. Brand new old submarines are already on the list and feature an innovative teardrop design. This allows him to reach his maximum speed underwater faster than on the water.
There are also living facilities such as food, refrigerators, showers and other facilities on the submarine that other submarines do not have, which greatly improves the living environment in the submarine. The old submarine is also equipped with a hydraulic torpedo reloading device, which allows it to fire two torpedoes within 1 minute, greatly increasing the attack power. Older submarines are also equipped with new sonar equipment that allows them to target torpedoes without a periscope, increasing their safety. The design of the old submarine can reach a diving depth of up to 100 meters, and Xiaomi's theoretical maximum diving depth of up to 100 meters is better than any existing submarine in China. Moreover, in order to deal with the threat of sonar, the submarine has also made a partial silencing design for the sound of the submarine for the first time. The noise produced when submersing in low water can basically reach 4 decibels, which is basically close to the background sound of the sea. It would be difficult to get all the current sonar equipment in the world.
Countless warships are being welded and assembled nervously in several major domestic shipyards. Some of them are for the defense force and navy, and some are purely for export.
