    A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the world in 1925 was full of gunpowder.  The United States dispatched one million troops to Poland, which aroused strong protests from the Republic of China and notified the United States. This move will most likely trigger a border war or even a large-scale war.  But the United States ignored it and continued to station its troops in Poland.  Poland is a small country, but now it has the support of the world leader, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which makes it look very young.  The Polish Army also has a strength of 500,000, forming a military confrontation with the Third World Alliance garrison dominated by the Republic of China.  But it is obviously impossible to start a war. Britain, France and the United States do not have the courage to initiate a war. The main force of the Republic of China is not in Eastern Europe.  ??The Republic of China only wanted to provoke an arms race, so it was happy for the United States to station troops in Poland, but it still wanted to show off, so it protested, but in the end it was nothing.  In terms of navy, this year the first batch of battleship construction tasks of the three countries of Britain, France and the United States was completed. Sixteen battleships were launched into service one after another, forming a clear two-to-one advantage over China's Huadong-class battleships.  The manufacturing plan for the second batch of battleships has also begun.  However, the Republic of China's thirty battleship manufacturing plan has never yielded any results.  According to the investigation by European and American spies, the intelligence from Dedu is that there is a problem with the blueprint design during the manufacturing process of the battleship of the Republic of China, and they are trying to solve it.  This information caused Britain, France and the United States to ridicule again, thinking that the Chinese battleship manufacturing technology was indeed not very good, and even the drawings were wrong, which was too funny.  They obviously didn't expect that this was still false information. The Republic of China did not build thirty battleships.  Instead, a famous general-class battleship is being built.  However, the number of battleships is indeed smaller, so the Republic of China started construction of four more improved battleships of the Huadong class battleships this year.  Named Huabei class battleship.  The displacement of the Huabei-class battleship is similar to that of the Huadong and Huadong battleships, with only an increase of 1,000 tons to 35,000 tons. However, it pays more attention to torpedo defense and air defense.  At the same time the speed increased.  With a maximum speed of 31 knots, it is definitely a powerful high-speed battleship.  The Republic of China does have a larger-tonnage Famous General-class battleship, but obviously it doesn¡¯t make much sense to build such a large battleship.  Future wars will be dominated by aircraft carriers, but battleships are still useful for anti-submarine and air defense purposes.  and support the landing campaign.  Therefore, the battleship does not need to be that big at all. Thirty-five thousand tons is enough. Building one that is too big is a waste of money.  Therefore, the main force is still the China East-class and North China-class battleships.  The Huadong-class battleship has been upgraded and modified, mainly in terms of power, to increase the speed to a maximum speed of 31 knots.  The media around the world are constantly exaggerating the world naval arms race, and the same is true for the media in the Republic of China.  The whole world has paid great attention to this naval arms race, making the atmosphere very intense.  The atmosphere is also called Qi, which affects a person's behavior.  Just like during the parade, the Qi energy is very strong, and even murders may occur.  Just like the anti-Japanese demonstrations in later generations, cars were smashed and people were killed.  The Republic of China successfully created an atmosphere of naval arms race.  Let Britain, France and the United States devote themselves to it.  Under such circumstances, Europe and the United States invested a lot of financial resources in the military.  This year, the United States announced its army expansion plan, which also aroused protests from the Republic of China.  The United States announced that it would increase the size of its army to 3 million, the United Kingdom announced that its army would increase to 1 million, and France announced that its army would increase to 1.3 million. At the same time, it agreed that Germany would resume its army and expand it to 800,000, and Italy announced that it would expand its army to 800,000.  Nine hundred thousand, Romania announced an expansion of its troops to three hundred thousand, as well as Greece and other countries in the Balkan Peninsula that were once Allied powers.  All announced military expansion.  This has allowed the European and American armies to also expand to the Third World Alliance's more than eight million troops, but it obviously still exceeds the Third World Alliance in terms of army size.  Because the armies of Europe and the United States alone have more than 8 million troops, while the Third World Alliance has more than 8 million troops of the army, navy and air force.  Such a large-scale military expansion makes it appear that the military strength of European and American countries is not much worse than that of the Republic of China. After all, the Republic of China's own army strength is only more than 4 million.  Including the members of the Third World Alliance, the army has only more than 7 million troops, and the rest are navy and air force.  However, the quality of the armies of European and American countries is questionable. The armies of the Third World Alliance member states are trained by the Republic of China, have a high degree of control, and have very good combat effectiveness.  When answering questions from reporters, President Song Jiaoren of the Republic of China publicly accused Europe and the United States of recklessly expanding their armaments and intending to provoke a world war, regardless of the life and death of their people.  European and American countries can¡¯t say how hard they are about this, because they don¡¯t have so manyof the population!  And after the military expansion, many problems did arise.  Issues such as expansion of fiscal expenditures, slowdown in construction, reduction in total consumption in the commodity market, etc.  This phenomenon is exactly what the Republic of China hopes to see, that is, to allow Europe and the United States to invest a large amount of resources in military construction, thus slowing down the development of European and American countries.  A large amount of military construction has caused the living standards of European and American people to begin to decline.  On the one hand, the Republic of China created an atmosphere of arms race, but on the other hand, it secretly focused its energy on internal construction.  This year the Republic of China decided to open up space for economic development in North China.  "At present, the biggest constraint on the economic development of North China is the problem of water resources. Although this problem has not yet emerged, groundwater is still very abundant. But this groundwater will eventually be used up. If we take the route of saving water resources, then North China's economy will also be  There is no development. So we need to build the second phase of the North to South Water Diversion Project to save the economy of North China.¡± At the research meeting on the second phase of the North to South Water Diversion Project, the chief engineer expressed the importance of the North to South Water Diversion Project.  sex.  "Our first phase project proves that the North-South Water Diversion will also produce extremely high economic benefits and be of great significance in agriculture, ecology, industry and other aspects." The central government of the Republic of China has a lot of money at this time.  It¡¯s time to find a place to spend money.  Therefore, the proposal for the second phase of the North-to-South Water Diversion Project was approved.  The second phase of the North-South Water Diversion Project will build water canals to Hebei and Shaanxi, passing through Inner Mongolia.  With water, North China's economy can maintain growth.  This project is complementary to the Yellow River Management Project, because it is planned to introduce water from Lake Baikal into the Yellow River, but it is not part of the second phase of the project.  If you want to divert the Yellow River, you must at least build reservoirs in the Nale River and the Yenisei River to inject water back to Lake Baikal. The second phase of the project is to build two canals, one from Zhangjiakou to Hebei and Beijing.  One line goes from Xiu to Inner Mongolia and northern Shaanxi.  First, the water will be used for drinking by humans and animals, as well as for irrigating grasslands, and will also be used to control desertification.  The Republic of China allocated 800 million Yanhuang coins for this project, and it has already allocated funds for the management of the Yellow River. Basically, it is 100 to 200 million yuan every year, but this year it increased to 300 million yuan.  The management of the Yellow River is a long-term investment project. After the long-term management of the Republic of China, the condition of the Yellow River has been much stabilized.  ¡°At least it is impossible for the embankment to collapse or breach.  And every winter, excavators are used to clean up the mud and continue to dig deep.  As long as you use the spirit of Foolish Old Man to move mountains, the problem of this hanging river will be solved.  Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also used this method to regulate the Yellow River, which made the condition of the Yellow River relatively good in the early Ming Dynasty.  At the same time, the Republic of China strengthened the embankments, basically eliminating the risk of embankment failures and breaches.  The biggest problem has become the problem of water, soil and water.  How to solve the problem of sediment entering the Yellow River has become a major issue in the management of the Yellow River.  The Republic of China relocated most of the population from the Loess Plateau, and did not do much mining in northern Shaanxi.  As a result, the policy of returning farmland to forest, returning grazing land to grassland, and returning farmland to grassland has achieved great results.  The vegetation coverage rate of the Loess Plateau has begun to increase, but the Loess Plateau has been broken into ravines after long-term rain erosion, and these gullies have intensified water and soil erosion.  The annual allocation of the Republic of China is mainly used to build sand-blocking dams.  The construction of sand-blocking dams has intercepted a lot of sand entering the Yellow River.  The second phase of the North-South Water Diversion Project will build water canals onto the Loess Plateau, thereby gradually restoring the vegetation on the Loess Plateau.  With vegetation, soil and water conservation capacity can be increased, evaporation can be reduced, and the water volume of the Yellow River can be increased.  The Republic of China has also established a special desert management department to monitor and contain the deserts every year. Once the second phase of the North-to-South Water Diversion Project of the Republic of China is completed, these deserts can be counterattacked.  When water is available, man-made oases can be formed in the desert.  Major newspapers also reported extensively on the North-South Water Diversion Project and the Yellow River and Desert Control Project. After reading the reports, citizens of the Republic of China set off a wave of donations.  "The Yellow River was the center of Chinese civilization in the past. However, as the ecological environment deteriorated, the Han people had to migrate southward, which eventually led to the current situation in which the Yangtze River Basin is the center of national culture. Managing the Yellow River and restoring the ecological environment of the Yellow River Basin will have a profound impact on Chinese civilization.  It is of great significance to China. The Republic of China decided to build the second phase of the North-South Water Diversion Project starting from this year, and at the same time increase investment in the management of the Yellow River and desert" On the black and white TV, a news anchor was talking about the development of the Republic of China.  Budget input for the new year is reported.  After reading this news, many citizens rushed to donate money.  Many are seenIf others donate, they will donate too.  In less than half a year, a donation of 600 million yuan was collected.  This shows how huge the market for nationalism is in the Republic of China.  The unity of nationalism makes the people of the Republic of China willing to donate money to manage the Yellow River and deserts. The national cohesion is absolutely unprecedentedly strong.  (To be continued.)
