    Everything depends on people, and everything depends on God. After all, Li Han single-handedly created the happy situation of the Republic of China today. Every step forward now has no historical experience to draw directly from. Even his butterfly effect has begun to influence  The direction of many major events in this world, and some things that would have happened in history, are now uncertain.  ¡¾Text first release

    Once China and Japan go to war, it will be a real nationwide war. China will definitely mobilize the whole country to not only regain the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan Island, but also inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army on land.  Just without these references, he can only plan the strategic plan more carefully and prepare more fully for the war. The rest depends on the country's soldiers.

    As the official residence of the supreme leader of the Republic of China, the Presidential Palace may not be as luxurious as the Forbidden City in ancient times, but it is as heavily guarded as the Emperor's Imperial City in the past.  If you want to enter the presidential palace, you must go through three strict checks by the garrison, security guards and presidential palace guards.  Except for some people with special documents who can enter and exit the presidential palace more easily, everyone else is subject to strict scrutiny.

    After all, it is the residence of the leader of the largest republic in the Far East. Although Li Han has great prestige among the people and the country, there are also many people who want his life.  Some old-time officials who have lost their power, warlords' private soldiers, some radicals with different party views, Tsarist Russian chauvinists, Japanese, etc.  Therefore, he can't just enter the Presidential Palace. Even if he has special documents, he must undergo the strictest inspection. Moreover, vehicles cannot enter the Presidential Palace directly and can only stop after arriving in the front yard. The rest  Part of the journey is done on foot.

    Now, a Ford sedan was slowly driving into the front yard and stopped under the scrutiny of the guards.  In addition to the driver, there were only two passengers in the car. One was Jiang Zuobin, the director-general of the Ministry of Munitions, and the other was Zhan Tianyou, the director-general of the Ministry of Railways.

    ??This visit to the Presidential Palace, both of them came on orders.  Just yesterday at noon, the President sent someone to notify the Ministry of Munitions and the Ministry of Railways, requesting the chief ministers of the two ministries to come to the Presidential Palace today.

    "Mr. Zhan, how come it's only been two months since we last met and how come the situation is so different?"

    Jiang Zuobin got out of the car and picked up his handbag. Seeing Zhan Tianyou's face sweating like rain, he hurriedly gave him a hand and helped him out of the car.

    Zhan Tianyou nodded gratefully, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I went to Xinjiang last month to inspect the construction of the last few sections of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway. I couldn't adapt to the weather in Xinjiang. If it weren't for Zhan's fate,  , I almost won¡¯t be able to come back. No, after I come back, the president will ask me to take a good rest for a period of time, but things are urgent today, and I can¡¯t do it without Zhan, and I don¡¯t worry about the others!"

    Zhan Tianyou and Sun Yat-sen should be the most respected officials in the country after President Li Han in the past two years.  In the few years since the establishment of the Ministry of Railways, the railways of the Republic of China have achieved rapid development, especially the nationwide effort to build railways. As several major transportation arteries throughout the country began to be gradually put into use, the economic effects are obvious.  I don¡¯t know how many remote provinces and regions have become wealthy due to the construction of railways. Among the longevity tablets established by the people in the Republic of China, the brands of Zhan Tianyou and Sun Yat-sen can be ranked among the top ten.

    Jiang Zuobin knew a little bit about the sudden invitation, and did not waste time with him at the moment. He put his hand on Zhan Tianyou, and under the guidance of the guards, went to the presidential office in the inner palace.

    When the two of them walked into the office, they discovered that there was a guest waiting in the office. He was also a well-known figure in the country - Feng Ru. He is now the director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Bureau. Don't look at it, this is just a guest hanging alone in the Presidential Palace.  The inconspicuous department under its name is actually in charge of the manufacturing of all military and civilian aircraft in the country. Anyone who knows a little bit about this should know what it means.

    Feng Ru looked at Jiang Zuobin a little strange, but he was no stranger to Zhan Tianyou.  I was very happy to see him here. Although both of their offices are in Xi'an, one of them is busy inspecting railway construction all day long, while the other travels between Wuhan and Sichuan, two cities in the Republic of China.  The aircraft manufacturing base in China is unlikely to be seen a few times in a year.

    As for the president, he is still immersed in official duties.  Feng Ru came earlier and brought some research data on new fighter aircraft. The president was looking at the data on all military and civilian dual-use aircraft of the Republic of China that had been filed with their aircraft manufacturing bureau.

    "You guys are here, sit down firstwait until I finish reading the things!"

    Li Han saw the two of them, said hello and continued to look at the documents Feng Ru brought.  Seeing that war is imminent, the aviation power of the Republic of China is a vital force.

    "Mr. Huancheng, Yu Yan, you are here at the right time. Director Feng and I have just discussed some issues related to the aircraft manufacturing industry. At present, our country's external environment has begun to deteriorate again, and we have already entered the stage ofWe have reached a crossroads. Some people don¡¯t want our people to rise up like this, so we have to rely on our own hands to fight this great world!  "

    He quickly finished reading what Feng Ru brought, and after pondering for a while, he already felt confident.  He put down the documents and began to greet the two new arrivals.

    ¡°So, the Central Committee has decided to go to war with Japan?

    Jiang Zuobin suddenly became excited, and his voice trembled a little.  Among the three, he was the only one with a military background. In the late Qing Dynasty, he was a top figure in the domestic military circles. He was burdened with too many things, including the humiliation of the Qing Dynasty's defeat to the Japanese, the regrets of Beiyang, and the National Defense Forces like them.  human will.  As the director-general of the People's Liberation Army, he had first-hand information on the material delivery of the Republic of China. Although the president had already disclosed some strategic details to him, he did not expect that the central government would make up his mind so quickly. He was so excited.  In addition, he did not forget to remind the president.

    "At present, our country does reserve a batch of military supplies, but Japan is not an ordinary country after all. And if this war really starts, it will be different from the Sino-Russian war two years ago. It is said to be another Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.  It is not an exaggeration. Japan will definitely mobilize the whole country to stop the rise of the Republic of China. President, you have always made your moves deliberately and played chess skillfully. But we still need to be cautious. According to the current situation, if the supplies we have stored are  If Japan only mobilizes 200,000 troops, it can last for a year. If it exceeds 400,000 troops, it may not be able to sustain it for seven months. If it is still more than 500,000 troops, it may not be able to sustain it for even half a year. If our reserves once  If it is used up, it will definitely affect the national economy.¡±

    "It seems that Yuyan has also put in a lot of effort, yes, but I have ordered our military and industrial sector to shift to a wartime track. Once the war starts, we will fully produce materials and fight a national war with Japan.  It seems that there is no problem if we insist on it for two years. Fortunately, in the past two years, we took the opportunity of the European War to import a large amount of saltpeter from Chile to stockpile, which is enough to cope with it for a period of time. Once the war breaks out, I think a law will need to be issued  , a complete ban on private production of fireworks and firecrackers!¡±

    Jiang Fangzhen¡¯s reminder makes sense. Japan¡¯s navy is far more powerful than the Republic of China. Once a war breaks out, it will be devastating to China¡¯s shipping, so we have to be prepared.

    "You don't have to worry about this. The Central Committee has fully considered it. Since we dare to fight against Japan, we are confident of winning. There is no doubt about this!"

    Li Han nodded. His confidence stemmed from his understanding of China's actual strength. Although China's naval power is insignificant, as the main component of the national defense machine, the army's strength is enough to make people feel reassured.  In terms of land aviation, China has begun to lead Japan.

    The Bureau of Investigation has also received some good news from Japan. The newly appointed Prime Minister of Japan, Kei Hara, is currently spending most of his thoughts on reducing military expenditures for the army and navy and calming the hearts of the people.  This has also led to the fact that although Japan's military machinery has begun to become restless, Japan has not entered a state of nationwide mobilization. Moreover, even if the Japanese government starts general mobilization now, it will take at least one or two months to complete the preliminary preparations of the army. This battle will not be fought.  It was a surprise.

    "As for the production of aircraft, you must hurry up. This is very important, because it is not only related to the combat effectiveness of our army. It is also related to the country's strategic policy. In Asia, China must maintain its status as the number one aviation power and let the entire  The skies in the Far East are under our control, so that we can be condescending and destroy Japan's will to fight. In this battle, we will let foreigners see China's military industrial potential. In the year of Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese achieved success by stepping on our corpses  We have become the most powerful country in East Asia, and now that we are in our late twenties, things have changed, and it¡¯s time for us to take revenge!¡±

    Li Han is very concerned about the production of aircraft, including not only various types of aircraft, but also some Zeppelin airships.  In this war against Japan, he not only wants to take back the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan occupied by Japan, but also abolish all Japanese privileges and unequal treaties in China.  We also need to take the opportunity to let European and American powers see China's rising industrial strength.  Because of the current development and growth of the Republic of China, whether it is recovering concessions or abolishing unequal treaties, they are like poisonous thorns and are unacceptable to the great powers.

    The European war is about to end, maybe in a year, maybe in half a year.  Not surprisingly, the Allies have now exhausted their potential. Unless an American-style power emerges to join the Allies and add new vitality to it, the defeat of this military group is a foregone conclusion.  Once the Allies were defeated, the Allied countries, especially Britain and France, which had huge interests in the Far East and China, were bound to make a comeback.

    ¡°If we can¡¯t let them know before they come back that the rising China is no longer something they can easily insult, then trouble will come one after another.
