    The reason why super battleships are a big pitfall is because the performance of super battleships in World War II was very poor.  For example, Japan's Musashi and Yamato's record has even become a laughing stock. The main role of the American Iowa-class battleship is to provide air defense firepower for the aircraft carrier formation and support some landing battles.  In fact, after the emergence of aircraft carriers, naval warfare has become the stage of naval aviation and has become a beyond-visual-range war.  No matter how fast a battleship is, can it be faster than an airplane?  During World War II, the Japanese Yamato was called the ¡®Yamato Hotel¡¯. Because the super battleship also served as a spiritual pillar, it could easily not be put into battle, so the Japanese Yamato became the Yamato Hotel.  The construction of Huo Qubing Hospital is of great significance to the Republic of China mainly to boost the morale of the people.  Secondly, it is to provide air defense firepower for the aircraft carrier formation.  But from the perspective of Europe and the United States, the emergence of super battleships is like a disaster.  China has a super battleship, and they must have one too.  Under such circumstances, Europe and the United States invested money in super battleship construction plans.  "The Chinese have two ships, so we will have four!" In order to stifle the maritime threat from China, Europe and the United States have completely fallen into a pit in the construction of battleships.  In contrast, the Republic of China has invested resources in internal construction. Although the navy has received a lot of military expenditures and has also begun to build aircraft carriers, it is not as good as the naval expenditures of the European and American military alliances. Its naval military expenditures account for 10% of the economy.  The proportion of the total amount is even pitifully low.  The military construction of the Republic of China at this time was mainly focused on cultivating talents and reserving reserves, so it did not require a large scale.  The core of the navy¡¯s combat effectiveness is the aircraft carrier.  In fact, there is no need to build a battleship that big. A bunch of anti-aircraft guns can be installed on even a destroyer.  Therefore, the super battleship is by no means the main warship of the Republic of China. The main force is still the Hua-class battleship.  Just when Europe and the United States were building battleships like crazy, the Republic of China was in 1926.  A super-large steel-making furnace with a daily production of 10,000 tons of steel has been built. This super-large converter can produce 3.5 million tons of steel a year.  Building ten buildings can create a steel production capacity of 35 million tons, and 100 buildings can create a steel production capacity of 350 million tons.  This year, after continuous crazy construction, the steel production of the Republic of China has exceeded 250 million tons, becoming the country with the most steel per capita in the world.  This year, the Republic of China plans to build a converter with a daily output of 10,000 tons in five years. 38 converters will be built each year. The construction time of each converter is two years and the construction will be continued for four years.  A total of 154 10,000-ton converters will be built. If all are completed in the fifth year, the steel production capacity will increase by 532 million tons.  At the same time, 82 million tons of backward production capacity will be eliminated within five years, thereby forming an annual steel production capacity of 700 million tons.  Jiang Yu looked at the steel plant in front of him and said with emotion: "Once these steel plants are built, our Republic of China will be able to use artillery shells to kill the enemy." "With so much steel, no matter how many warships and aircraft we build,  It¡¯s not a problem.¡± Zhou Ziyue nodded.  Jiang Yu asked: "According to this plan, what will be done with the eliminated steel plants?" "The eliminated 82 million tons of steel plants can be handed over to Japan to produce steel." Zhou Ziyue said, "The Japanese are still  The waste can be used. "That's fine, but we still have to ensure that the large-scale steel-making technology is not leaked out as much as possible," Jiang Yu said, obviously not wanting to subcontract the steel smelting industry so early.  Although the steel is not very advanced, the large-scale smelting technology is still relatively advanced.  As for alloy steel.  The Republic of China is now in full bloom. After a large enough industry is formed, ordinary steel production can be subcontracted to various subsidiary countries.  Of course, during non-war periods, so much steel is produced.  How to consume it is a question.  ??If it cannot be consumed, it will cause overcapacity, so the consortium began to manufacture heavy equipment in large quantities.  Such as large cranes and large engineering vehicles.  Today¡¯s largest excavator has a bucket capacity of 80 cubic meters.  The shunting vehicles are also getting bigger and bigger, and they have the ability to build expressways.  Construction of the expressway from Shaanxi to the Central Asian Administrative Region has begun. In 1925, it was built to cover a thousand kilometers, and in 1926, it was planned to build 3,000 kilometers.  The railway system underwent technological innovation in 1925, and there were new changes in train power distribution. The Republic of China evenly distributed railway power on each train wheel, using internal combustion engines as power, which evenly distributed the power and facilitated braking.  This greatly increases the speed of the train, which reaches 180 kilometers per hour, greatly improving transportation efficiency.  Increasing the speed of trains is of extremely great significance to a superpower like the Republic of China. The territory of the Republic of China is really too big.In the past, if you took a train from Shanghai to the Central Asian Administrative Region, it would take five days at the earliest.  Of course, the Republic of China now has aircraft. In order to consume more and more steel, the consortium continues to increase the scale of the aircraft manufacturing industry.  A lot of airports have been built across the country.  With the increasing number of civil aviation passenger planes, it has become more convenient for people to travel.  At the same time, air transport has also become an emerging industry, and consortiums are building a large number of transport aircraft.  These transport aircraft can carry out commercial operations in peacetime, such as transporting goods for courier companies owned by the consortium, or transporting goods that are urgently needed by private individuals.  During wartime, these transport aircraft can be put into the ranks of logistics transportation.  These aircraft are not only used in large numbers within the territory of the Republic of China, but also in various affiliated countries.  In order to digest the steel, the Republic of China invested heavily in the construction of roads, railways, airports, electricity and other infrastructure in those affiliated countries. Russia became a country that the Republic of China invested heavily in.  It has been four years since the red furry bears were exterminated. In the past four years, Russia has been building vigorously. Anyone who is willing to work can earn an income, and a large amount of infrastructure has been built.  Most of Russia's population has gone to build infrastructure, but it does not affect their living standards because goods can be imported from the Republic of China.  A large amount of infrastructure has been built across Russia, and at the same time it has begun to export a large amount of resources to the Republic of China.  The Republic of China's resource exploitation in the Central Asian administrative regions has decreased, and Russian coal, oil, ore and other resources have been exported in large quantities to various industrial cities in the Central Asian administrative regions.  A large amount of minerals are also mined in Ukraine and then shipped to Central Asian administrative regions.  The Central Asian Administrative Region has gradually turned into a super-large-scale industrial zone, and a large number of heavy industrial manufacturing has begun to transfer to the Central Asian Administrative Region.  The Central Asian Administrative Region has also become a super military industrial base.  No other country has as large a military industrial base as the Republic of China. ?? 80% of the arms required by the Third World Alliance's more than eight million troops are produced in the Central Asian Administrative Region, and the population of the Central Asian Administrative Region has grown rapidly to 40 million people.  For the development of the Central Asian administrative region, the Republic of China built dozens of desalination plants along the Caspian Sea to specialize in the production of industrial water.  At the same time, the Republic of China also began to build reservoirs in Siberia and a reservoir on the Ob River, thereby transporting high-quality fresh water from the Ob River to the Central Asian administrative regions to supply agricultural and domestic water.  The Republic of China¡¯s seizure of the freshwater resources of the Ob, Yenisey, and Nale rivers will not cause much problems, because the Beihai Administrative Region and the Siberian Administrative Region have little population and do not need much agricultural water.  There is not much industrial water. Even if these three rivers are cut off and all the fresh water is diverted to the south, there will be no problem.  At most, the plankton in the Arctic Ocean lost the nutrients that the river water rushed into the Arctic Ocean, resulting in a sharp decline in marine life.  The main reason for the formation of such a large-scale military industry in the Central Asian Administrative Region is that during the war, the Republic of China does not need to transport so much combat materials westward within the customs, thereby reducing transportation pressure.  Wait until the war begins.  Not only can the Central Asian Administrative Region become a huge arsenal, but the factories in the customs can also produce large amounts of arms and transport them to the west.  Over the past four years, in addition to the great development of the Republic of China, the affiliated countries have also become extremely prosperous. Although the people of those affiliated countries work longer hours, their economies have also achieved great development.  The supply of agricultural products is very abundant.  There is absolutely no problem in eating a full meal, you can even eat to full capacity.  Among industrial products, a large number of automobiles also appeared in the territory of those dependent countries.  The economies of the Republic of China and its affiliated and puppet states have developed.  The rulers of those countries enjoyed the benefits first and were very satisfied.  The people in those countries can live a comfortable life and are relatively satisfied.  In various construction projects, the infrastructure of the Republic of China and those satellite and puppet states are becoming more and more developed.  This year, the total economic output of the Republic of China increased to 750 billion yuan.  This growth rate can only amaze European and American countries.  And the economic growth rate of the satellite countries and puppet countries controlled by the Republic of China is faster than that of the Republic of China.  Because the Republic of China has experienced economic prosperity for nearly seven years.  Many things that can be built have almost been built, and capital exports are booming again.  When a large number of construction machinery and other advanced productive forces are mobilized for construction within the territory of those satellite and puppet states, their economies will naturally increase dramatically. In many countries, under the capital export of the Republic of China, the annual economic growth of many countries has even exceeded 50%.  European and American economists are already predicting that the economy of the Republic of China will still be able to sustain itself for a few more years. At this time, after years of prosperity, the economic bubble of the Republic of China has become very large.  But such bubbles often?, will it really be shattered?  After seven years of prosperity, many industries are no longer profitable because there are too many industrial companies and competition is fierce. On the positions abandoned by consortiums, private capital is fighting fiercely.  If private investors cannot make money in the industries they originally invested in, they will continue to lend money and then invest the money in other areas with returns.  For example, investing in the economies of those subject countries.  Also at this time, the consortium had begun selling shares of the monopoly companies it controlled, immediately attracting a large amount of capital.  The consortium lends the money and then earns it back by selling stocks, thereby absorbing funds from the market.  It is equivalent to playing around, and the actual increase in money in the market is not much.  But money circulates quickly.  How many years the economy can prosper is not something that experts can predict, but when the financial consortium of the Republic of China wants to burst the bubble.  In the last three years, by 1929, the economic bubble was burst.  This is the core strategy of the consortium, and the prosperous economy can continue for another three years.  The reason why this is so is because the development of many provinces in the Republic of China is uneven. Many people have just entered cities and have not yet bought houses or cars!  The current market in the Republic of China is not saturated because products are being updated. For example, a new designed luxury car is launched, and the previous cars are downgraded one by one.  For example, the previous luxury cars were downgraded to high-end cars, the high-end cars were downgraded to mid-range, the lower mid-range cars were downgraded to ordinary cars, and the ordinary cars were downgraded to low-end cars.  Electrical appliances have also been upgraded.  The Republic of China quickly entered the era of automobiles for all people. The price of the cheapest car dropped to 260 yuan, and it only took a few months' wages to buy it.  In 1926, the total number of family cars in the Republic of China exceeded 90 million, and on average there was one family car for every 1.5 families.  At this time, the Republic of China focused its construction goals on strengthening the internal affairs on the one hand, and on the other hand, it invested heavily in those affiliated countries, stimulating new markets.  Those satellite countries have become one of the main forces in market demand, and in those satellite countries, the stock market is much more enthusiastic than that of the Republic of China.  Many businessmen from affiliated countries also set up factories, but when they saw the profits from stocks, many of them sold the factories directly and then bought stocks. However, the businessmen of the Republic of China were different. Many businessmen knew the difference and just used the surplus money to buy stocks.  stock.  With the current economic situation, it is very easy for the bubble economy to sustain itself for another three years.  Three years later, our civilian market in the Republic of China will be basically saturated. Although the investment in the satellite countries has not been completed, it does not need those satellite countries to be as advanced as the Republic of China. They only need them to be able to increase the war potential of the Republic of China.  .  As for improving the living standards of the people in the dependent countries, just do it casually and it will be better than those in the backward countries. It does not need to reach the level of the Republic of China.  The world naval arms race continues amidst the construction frenzy in Asia.  Although Europe and the United States are also catching up in industry, Westerners are lazy and want more gain from less work, which has restricted their development speed.  Especially after the extension of working hours in Europe and the United States, large-scale public protests were triggered.  But such protests were of no use in the end, and working hours still had to be lengthened. The working hours of British miners increased to eleven hours a day.  As for the Yellow Peril theory, it has been popular for many years.  However, more and more people believe it with the rise of the Republic of China. The entire Western society is deeply anxious about the rise of the Republic of China.  However, the national image of the Republic of China is relatively well packaged. Countries around the world generally believe that the Republic of China is a peace-loving country.  In the wave of economic development of the Republic of China, it is obvious that a crisis of bursting the bubble economy is coming, and the world may be drawn into a war by then.
