Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Vigorously developing the economy has been a national policy that China has adhered to since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so Yan Fu had no objections.  At the same time, developing military power is the guarantee for economic development, so there is nothing wrong with developing military power. However, Yan Fu did not know how far Tang Jian's vigorous military expansion would go.

    Yan Fu asked: "President, I wonder what your specific military expansion plan is?"

    Tang Jian smiled slightly and said: "It is expected that within three years, the Chinese Army will expand its original strength of more than 400,000 to at least one million, of which 100,000 will be transformed into mechanized armored forces, and the tank units must at least be able to  Equip ten divisions, and the number of aircraft cannot be less than a hundred! In addition to the four battleships that guard the home waters, it is also necessary to form an ocean-going fleet composed of sixteen battleships!"

    After everyone heard this, they all took a breath. If such a huge army were officially formed, whether it was the army, air force, or navy, it could become the world's leading military force. However, with so many military  Is strength necessary for the Far East, which has become peaceful and stable?

    Yan Fu frowned and said, "This is a huge military expenditure. With China's current financial resources, it is still difficult. Does the president want to expand abroad?"

    "Expansion abroad? That is of course. Looking at which powerful country in the world today has not become stronger through external expansion, grabbing colonies, exporting capital, and plundering cheap raw materials, Britain is the best proof! After China became stronger, it also  We also need to embark on such a path, which is one of the reasons why I want to vigorously expand the army. I not only want the Far East to bear the mark of China, but also the world to bear the mark of China!" Tang Jian said boldly.

    Yan Fu had studied abroad, so he naturally knew how European and American countries had embarked on the road to becoming a powerful country, and when he returned from studying abroad, he also hoped that the then government could embark on such a road to becoming a powerful country.

    But when this issue was actually put in front of him, Yan Fu had a slight hesitation. As a person who came from the Qing Dynasty, he could deeply understand the suffering that oppressed nations would suffer.

    Tang Jian saw that Yan Fu was hesitating, and saw some intolerance and entanglement in his eyes. He already guessed what Yan Fu was hesitating in, so he explained: "This is originally an era of the jungle. The strong survive! The weak will be killed.  Elimination is also a natural law. Look at how many backward areas in the world have not been invaded by other countries. If they fall behind, they will be beaten. This is a historical necessity, and we should follow the trend of history!"

    Yan Fu nodded. From a rational point of view, Tang Jian analyzed it much more thoroughly than him. The essence of this era is like this. The strong are respected and the strong have everything. Or, this is the case in every era!

    Tang Jian added: "However, the path we are taking is different from other countries in Europe and the United States. For example, the United Kingdom uses force to open the country, and then economic control is supplemented. But we are different. China focuses on economy.  Only when there are irreconcilable conflicts can force be used to a limited extent! We can completely imitate the Hawaiian model and control the economic lifeline, that is, control of that region. The rule of pure force will not last long, like the Spanish rule of Lu  Like Song, it will eventually arouse uncontrollable ****."

    What Tang Jian said is the experience summed up from later generations. Whether it is Britain or France, when the national movement rose vigorously, they inevitably lost their colonies. This is experience and a lesson. Barbaric and predatory rule  It was destined not to last long, so Tang Jian wanted to open up a new colony in another way.

    While Tang Jian and Yan Fu were discussing, Tang Jian's presidential secretary gently knocked on the door and handed the latest information to Tang Jian's desk.

    Tang Jian opened the telegram and took a look. When he saw the first few pages, Tang Jian couldn't help but smiles on his face. But when he saw the last few pages, Tang Jian's brows wrinkled slightly.  His fists were clenched slightly, and everyone saw the unconcealable anger on Tang Jian's face.

    Yan Fu asked: "President, what's wrong? Is there any bad news?"

    Tang Jian closed the folder in front of him and said, "There is some good news, and there is also some bad news!"

    Everyone looked at Tang Jian eagerly, waiting for Tang Jian to tell the answer.

    Tang Jian did not sell out and said directly: "The first one is from North Korea. All the rebels in North Korea have been disarmed. The situation in North Korea has been completely calmed down. The other one is from Japan. The British, American, French and German countries have also completed  With the partition occupation of Japan, almost all the armed forces in Japan have disappeared, and it is only a matter of time before they completely control Japan. The last one comes from the United States."

    "The United States?" Sun ?Young asked: "What action will the United States take at this time? Is it dissatisfied with the carving up of Japan?"

    Yan Fu frowned and said, "Yes, does the United States want to get more of Japan's territory?"

    Tang Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "None of them, but the United States unilaterally tore up the military alliance agreement and sent all the technical personnel sent by China to the United States back home. The factories jointly funded by China and the United States also stopped operating.  U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt sent a personal letter, which roughly means that we concealed China's true strength too much during the war with Japan, which was a sign of insincerity. Therefore, the U.S. government decided to terminate its military alliance with China.  .¡±

    "It's too much! You renegade villain!" Sun Wanling slammed the table and cursed.

    Yan Fu shook his head solemnly and said, "This is undoubtedly because the United States is stabbing us in the back!"

    Tang Jian nodded in agreement: "After the victory in the war against Japan, China became the focus of the world's attention. The war against Russia in the Northeast was just a counterattack against foreign aggression. The victory at that time was not as good as the war against Japan.  Countries were shocked. The war against Russia was at best a victory in China's local counterattack. It was completely different in nature from the victory in the all-out war against Japan. The quick victory in the war against Japan directly exposed the long-range collaborative combat capabilities of the Chinese army.  From another perspective, European and American countries can see that China is no longer the aging Qing Dynasty a few years ago, but a military power that has regained its vitality. It is no longer limited to domestic development and has begun to expand externally.  Expansion is a huge threat to European and American countries that have many colonies in the Far East.¡±

    "European countries are probably thinking about strangling this new military power in its infancy at this time. Therefore, China's current situation is still relatively dangerous because it has to guard against pressure from all directions. But at the beginning, China and the United States were  Military alliances force these countries to take into account China's ally the United States. However, once the United States terminates its military alliance with China, it will undoubtedly have to bear the pressure and threats from all parties on its own. This is no different from stabbing China in the back.  What a difference!"

    Yan Fu said: "The development of the situation is more critical than I imagined!"

    "Isn't this what the United States wants to see? Roosevelt's choice to terminate the Sino-American alliance at this time must have been planned. He just wanted to put China into a situation of heavy pressure, because the strength shown by China made the United States a little worried.  Uneasy, Americans have done a lot of this kind of stabbing in the back!" Tang Jian said with a wry smile.

    "Then what is the president going to do?" Yan Fu asked. He had already guessed that Tang Jian must have already had a way to deal with it.

    Tang Jian smiled and said: "If you want to make those who covet China die, you have to show even greater strength! For the European and American countries that have their own agendas, no country dares to say that they can swallow it alone.  In China, the Pacific Fleet has never been afraid when facing the fleets of other countries. Even if they want to form an alliance and jointly send troops to the Far East, they still need time to negotiate and adjust. During this time, China must be strong enough to stop their fear.  Only when you are motivated can you do it. So, it¡¯s still the same two words: expand the army!¡±

    Yan Fu and Sun Wanling nodded. It seemed that army expansion was imminent.

    Tang Jian continued: "Nowadays, the conflicts between European and American countries regarding their colonies are becoming more and more acute. I guess that in the near future, a large-scale war may break out among various countries, and the flames of war are likely to spread across all continents.  Of course, this must include China. China has now been completely integrated into the craze for the world's colonies and cannot stay alone."

    Yan Fu and Sun Wanling were stunned for a moment, staring at Tang Jian in disbelief. If the war that Tang Jian mentioned was really going to spread across all continents as Tang Jian suspected, wouldn't it be equivalent to an outbreak?  The melee between countries in the world was a war that had never broken out in the history of the world.

    Although this conjecture seemed absurd to Yan Fu and Sun Wanling, Tang Jian's accurate foresight every time he fought in the war made them believe it.

    In the conference hall, only Barfit and Gates were silent. They knew without thinking that the world war that Tang Jian said was bound to come, which was unavoidable in the torrent of history.

    The world order at this time has been in chaos, and a war is needed to rebuild a new order!

    "Since the United States is the first to show such strong hostility, there is no other way. Originally, I didn't want to attack the United States so early, but now, there are three pieces of fat in front of China, one is American Luzon, and the other is American  One belongs to Guam, and the other belongs to Hawaii of the United States!" Tang Jian looked coldly at the almost??Three islands at the same latitude.
