    Along with the little devil, there were a large number of urns and wounded people who were to be carried on stretchers.  Occasionally, I see someone who has neither ashes nor a stretcher hanging on his arms.

    The Great Wall Anti-Japanese War started with the grenade-making incident by Lieutenant Kodama on New Year's Day in 1933 and lasted for hundreds of days. Zhongtianjia Rehe Province and all participating ministries suffered heavy losses.  And the little devil didn't get the benefit either.  Including the Japanese navy and army, plus the puppet troops, nearly 100,000 people were killed, fled (the puppet army), disappeared, were killed (the navy), and suffered injuries and disabilities. The losses of aircraft, tanks, and warships exceeded double digits.  In particular, warships with a displacement of nearly 400,000 tons were killed or sunk.

    "For driving away the Zhongtian family, the loss of personnel is easy to deal with. After all, we are the most populous country, but this year's fiscal deficit is already a headache. We are not the largest economic country.  In April alone, the finances already had a deficit of nearly 200 million yuan. Although there were tens of millions left in the account after selling the Hansi aircraft carrier, they were still unable to make ends meet.  Principal Jiang slapped his head, wondering how he would spend the next half year.

    The Central Army still needs to be reorganized and re-equipped, so it is indispensable to continue to buy weapons. Some of the Japanese-owned factories, mines and shops confiscated on the Central Army's territory can be auctioned off to relieve urgent needs.  There is no need to think too much about the Japanese concessions in Tianjin and Shanghai. They have been bombed into rubble, otherwise the little Japanese would not have handed them over so happily. The only way left seems to be to sell ships.

    Today¡¯s Japanese overseas Chinese are concentrated in the public settlements. Those who have money, ability and connections continue to buy houses and do business in the public settlements.  The rest either return home or sell themselves.

    There is also a deficit of hundreds of millions of dollars in military expenditures and pensions for little Japanese. In order to alleviate the fiscal deficit and respond to the emperor's call, 300,000 Japanese women (widows accounted for less than half) stood up to form the Japanese Women's Standing Team and traveled around the world.  Go sell yourself and send every penny of foreign exchange earned back to the country to support military construction.

    Many of the descendants of these determined Korean Women's Stand-Up Team members have stayed in the local area. Just like the Chinese in every place abroad want to build a Chinatown, these Korean Women's Stand-Up Team and their descendants have established a Chinatown in every place.  A Japanese-style house or a Japanese-style house organization.

    Although the members of the Women¡¯s Standing Team have worked hard to pick up the guests, it is still not enough for a country that wants to dominate the world and Asia.  Sometimes someone will give you a pillow when you want to sleep. When the Foot Pot Chicken family was worried about their finances, the John Bull family came to them first and offered to provide the Foot Pot Chicken family with an interest-free loan of 100 million pounds for twenty years.

    Of course, there is no love without reason in this world, and the John Bull family also has requirements.  That is, the Foot Pot Chicken family must use this money to customize battleships in the UK.  This money is converted into Japanese yen, which is one billion, enough for the little devil to build thirty Mutsu battleships, although the Nagato class seems a bit outdated now.

    John's family is not bragging about being the best in the world in shipbuilding technology. They are accustomed to building the latest warships first and selling them to other countries, and then observing the advantages and disadvantages of the new warships through battles and then making improvements.  There are two types of main warships available to the little devils to choose from this time. The first one is to enhance protection performance at the expense of speed and is equipped with three sets of nine 16-inch main guns.  The second type is to reduce the armor and sacrifice protection performance to enhance speed. It is also equipped with three groups of nine 16-inch main guns.  The standard displacement of these two new warships exceeds 40,000 tons, and the full-load displacement exceeds 50,000 tons.

    Faced with the sugar-coated bullets sent by John¡¯s family with ill intentions, the little devil, who knew that drinking poison to quench his thirst, still ate all the sugar-coated bullets in one go.  Nothing else. The little devil's navy shipbuilding budget this year is only 60 million yen. This amount of money is not even enough to salvage and repair to supplement the battle damage. Let's dream about building a new super battleship to fight against the Zhongtian family.

    Of course, the John Bull family is not named Ma. A new battleship worth 10 million pounds, the Little Devil, costs 15 million pounds to order. It is said to be an interest-free loan, but in fact, it has been earned back inside and out, and it can  Boost the purchasing power of John's family in the British Isles and reduce unemployment during the economic crisis.  Besides, interest-free loans have to be repaid in the end, so John¡¯s family didn¡¯t lose any money on this business.

    The economic crisis is not about lack of money, but that all the money has gone into the hands of a few big capitalists. There is overcapacity, workers are exploited too much, and consumption power is insufficient.

    The new type of battleship that John's family was still on the drawing board was eventually named the Mikado-class. The Takumi family finally decided to order three protective Mikado-class battleships, four capture-type Mikado-class battleships, and the remaining auxiliary ships should be made domestically.  .  But the fraction of the five million pounds that John's family had to wipe out.

    The people from John¡¯s family haven¡¯t left yet, and the people from Bald Eagle¡¯s family have also arrived.  The Bald Eagle family is willing to provide a ten-year interest-free loan of US$200 million to the Footpot Chicken family, on the condition that the money must purchase the Bald Eagle family's weapons.

    Because the last sum of money was all designated for naval shipbuilding, the emperor paid all of this money worth 50 million pounds in order to balance it.Got the Army.  Because the army didn't even have enough 38-type rifles for its final domestic mobilization, this time, in order to make a difference once and for all, it used the money to order weapons and equipment from Bald Eagle's house that could arm thirty first-class divisions, including 38-type big cover, crooked handle  Submachine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 92 infantry guns, 50mm grenade launchers, hundreds of aircraft, cars and a large number of bullets and shells.  Of course, the unscrupulous arms dealer of the Bald Eagle family will modify the standard caliber of the Bald Eagle family for this large order.

    In the end, the Army also ordered some transport ships and protective ships from the Bald Eagle family, in order to give the Navy some color.  You must know that the best and most beautiful Arabian horses imported by the little devil's family are not in the Army's Cavalry Wing, but in the Navy Officers Club.  The navy has a small manpower and high benefits. You can make a lot of money just by bringing some goods to the sea. As a brat, the navy officer can't make those army bumpkins more angry than raising a beautiful Arabian horse on the battleship.  thing.

    This is what makes the Army jealous. Although Army officers cannot afford Arabian horses, they can build their own transport ships and frigates.

    As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just as the John family and the Bald Eagle family left, the Big Bear family came again.  This time, the people from the Big Bear family came to provide the Foot Pot Chicken family with a 30-year low-interest loan worth 300 million gold rubles (100 million U.S. dollars).

    Originally, the Emperor didn¡¯t want the loan when he heard that it had interest, because the navy and army had already purchased the equipment.  But the envoy from the Big Bear family moved the emperor's heart: "Your Majesty, the loans from both countries must have designated uses, but the loans from our country do not."

    In this way, the chicken footpan swallowed three sugar-coated cannonballs, bringing the seeds of disaster to its demise.
