Zhang nodded and asked again: "Your Majesty, what I really want to know is how long can our current production capacity be supported if we face a powerful country like Britain and the United States?"

"Do you mean the production capacity in equipment? Or the national strength?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment and explained separately.

"I don't know much about this, but I understand the general situation. In the second half of last year, we produced 500 light reconnaissance aircraft, 750 light combat aircraft, 1270 medium combat aircraft, 860 heavy bombers, and 20 giant long-range bombers for testing. 1,500 tanks, more than 2,300 armored vehicles, 4,500 large-caliber artillery.

In addition, 200,000 tons of warships were built. According to our national strength, these national defense support only accounted for 3% of the total national expenditure. If we carry out this, our output can generally be increased by 2 to 5, and it can be supported until the end of the war. Even if it reaches a hundred years, it will be fine, but this will cost the delay of economic development.

Moreover, what we need to face at present are the Americans. The British have been scared by us and dare not interfere in our actions anymore. I expect that unless they build aircraft carriers to a level similar to ours, they will never go to war with us.

If we fight the United States alone, our war tolerance is much stronger than that of the United States, and it can fully support the cost of fighting the Americans in the western United States!”

"But, your Majesty seems to have ignored a little!"

Zhang looked at Zhao Gang.

"All the materials we produce are not only used for this preset battlefield, but also need to provide support for the European battlefield, African battlefield and South American battlefield. In addition, we must leave a certain reserve of war, and the new training ground troops also need equipment. After deducting these, how much force can we still use it?"

"This..." Zhao Gang was stunned. He had not considered this issue yet.

"That is to say, at most, how many troops can we support in the western United States? This issue is quite critical!"

"From the plan submitted by the General Staff, we can invest 150 ground troops to fight and mobilize all the Pacific Fleets. This is no problem. Our South China Sea Fleet can completely focus on the British big fool fleet!"

"That's good, Your Majesty, do you need my opinion on this issue?" Zhang lay on the bed, his body fatigue showed.

"If this is the case, I think that 500,000 ground troops can actually be able to maintain the front line, which is not enough. After the empire has invested such huge energy, we should not meet such achievements. We should completely defeat the United States. Can these be accomplished with more than one million troops? I think this is absolutely impossible!"

"My father-in-law, do you think we need a whole country to mobilize to conquer this resource-rich country?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. He wanted to know what Zhang was thinking.

"But if we do this, we will even invest a lot more!"

"Why should we invest those forces? On the other hand, aren't the Japanese a good barrier? If we hand over the arms to the Japanese, will we not only win money but also avoid huge expenses?"

Zhang expressed his thoughts, which were not mature, and perhaps he did not consider some aspects. He hoped that his son-in-law could help him figure it out and consider this plan carefully.

"It can be seen from this plan that the General Staff only considers the number of combat troops and the supply issues of about half a year. If the war is delayed for half a year or a year, we must maintain a huge logistics supply line and huge supply to the front-line troops.

This is definitely a huge pressure. If we invest 150 ground combat troops in the western United States, and just maintaining the combat operations of these troops on the front line, within half a year, the materials we consume will exceed the materials we consumed for three months of combat, and this does not include the damage caused by the opponent's attack.

Therefore, during the attack, for us, there is no reduction in much pressure. The consumption of every day is increasing. The more terrifying this consumption is from October to the later stage. So, this is my biggest doubt. There is no reality to arbitrarily think of what the enemy will be based on instructions. Isn’t this kidding about the future of the country?”

Zhao Gang nodded. He knew that Zhang's analysis was not wrong. As long as he set foot on the American continent, the entire combat operation would be irreversible. More importantly, investing so much force at one time will put a huge pressure on logistics supply. Although the country's war production capacity is continuing to improve, this does not mean that national strength can be consumed. Moreover, from a long-term perspective, the country needs to invest more power on other battlefields. If it consumes too much strength in Australia, it is definitely a stupid behavior.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang knew that his dream had been shattered and he could not drive the United States away with his own hands, or even attack the United States with great fanfare. This is a helpless life. However, since the father-in-law proposed the inappropriate plan and insisted on his own actions, if he failed, the consequences would be very serious.

"Your Majesty, then from the perspective of the vision plan, what level will our war power increase?" Now, Zhang has to consider this issue from the beginning.

"If we look at it from the perspective of production input, our war strength will have a big explosion after a year of national mobilization!"

Zhao Gang seemed a little proud, "But because the war is about to break out, we have begun to strengthen the construction of the military industry, which was carried out according to the plan at that time. When formulating the military industry construction plan, we left a lot of margin, especially in the production of equipment and ammunition, which has begun to be invested on a large scale. Now, many newly built factories are about to be put into production, and some factories will start to operate within half a year. In addition, we have negotiated conditions with several major resource exporting countries and increased the import volume of resources. Moreover, within a year, our sea transportation capacity will inevitably be greatly improved. Therefore, according to the current local development speed, in half a year, our military production capacity should increase by 20%. Considering that all military factories are not fully loaded, as long as full-speed production is carried out at that time, and civilian production plants are converted into military production plants. Then this increase

It reaches 1000%. So, in fact, we have not revealed all our assets. If we do, we can form an army of 10 million people

"Your Majesty, I really couldn't imagine that there were so many troops. I would be willing to die if I could see the country so powerful in my lifetime. Did Your Majesty say that we would not have any problems with materials and military strength?" Zhang Bian was still thinking while asking this question.

"It should be so, but the prerequisite is that the front line cannot be expanded too much, otherwise we will still be unable to support it. Judging from the current plan, our industrial capacity is already strong enough, and our resource production capacity and the reserves of various raw materials are about to reach their limits.

Even if the production capacity of some civilian materials is reduced, it cannot meet all military needs. Due to this, we cannot support larger-scale military production, unless we can make breakthroughs in some aspects, such as obtaining new resource production sites...!"

"I understand this, but your Majesty, you seem a little confused. Isn't Australia just a ready-made resource source?"

Zhang smiled, "Your Majesty, we all know. Australia's resources are quite abundant, and many of the explored resources have not been developed before due to cost constraints. Didn't you take it out the previous paragraph? Don't tell me which country is a Jewish country, and don't insult an elderly person's IQ. Although it seems that they are all Jewish ministers, the real power is in the hands of the deputy minister, and all the deputy ministers are Chinese.

Since we can seize Australian resources and control them in our hands, why do we still seize the western United States? What I mean is to let the United States and the Japanese fight and then seek the best interests of the country. Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the one who drives the Japanese to the west coast is Your Majesty. Have you forgotten your original thoughts?"

"This..." Zhao Gang hesitated for a moment and asked, "My father-in-law, what do you mean is that we will strive for Australia and then give up the western United States?"

"right!"

Zhang laughed,

"Do you still remember the Three Kingdoms? At that time, Shu Kingdom occupied Jingzhou, and Wu Kingdom repeatedly asked for it, but it was not allowed. Finally, when it came to breaking Cao's army, Wu Kingdom stole the sky and replaced the sun to take Jingzhou, and Shu Kingdom lost its territory and lost its generals. Do you know why this happened?

This is because if Wu has no Jingzhou, it will not become a country, so it must fight with all its strength, while Shu is not. Although it is not good to have no Jingzhou, it will not shake the foundation of the country. Therefore, one side strives for it with all its strength, leaving room for the other side, and it is unknown whether the winner or loses.

If we occupy the western United States, we need to face the full attack of the Americans. If the Americans lose the western United States, they will lose the ability to dominate the Americas, and they will lose the cornerstone of dominating the world. This is the foundation of the country that will last no matter how long it takes. If we face it head-on, it will be a death-long end. In the end, we may be able to conquer the United States, but we can only conquer a scorched earth, and our country's national strength will also suffer great losses.

In addition to strengthening our strength, our other fundamental purpose is to obtain more overseas resources to improve our war layout. Well, Australia is rich in resources, and as long as it is discovered, it can organize mining. So, I think this combat plan itself is not very useful. We only need to carry out construction in Australia and ignore other things!"

At this time, Zhao Gang understood what Zhang meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "My father-in-law, what do you mean is that we must start developing Australian mineral resources and support the Japanese?"

"Yes, this is inevitable!" Zhang sat upright,

"Your Majesty, the Japanese are the same as ours. As long as we know the pros and cons, we are still very useful tools. I have never understood why your Majesty doesn't use these people well, but instead force these people to a dead end!"

Zhao Gang did not expect Zhang Hui to make such an opinion. In his impression, the Japanese were enemies of all evil and could not pity them. So after he deceived the Japanese happily traveled to America, Zhao Gang was very sinisterly stuck the Japanese's neck.

In the past decade, the Japanese have become China's free laborers. More than 10 million people work hard day and night, producing a large amount of ore, and then exchange it for a little machine tool and waste products that are about to expire. It can be said that China can reach the world's number one in ten years, with endless blood and sweat from the Japanese.

Up to now, the Japanese's industrial output value is still not high, accounting for only 2% of the world's industrial output value, China's industrial output value accounts for 26% of the world's industrial output value, and the gap between the two sides was 13 times. In 1894, twenty years ago, the gap between the two sides was only twice. In twenty years, the two countries were already very different.

The former thriving Japanese country is gone. Now, Japan needs to face its ever-changing backers and its strong neighbors with sharpening its knife. It is physically and mentally exhausted. It is no longer as good as its own people. Is it really necessary to restrict such a country?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Gang felt that Zhang's suggestion was quite good. Before Japan perished, he would act as cannon fodder and consume the national strength of the Americans. It would be best if both sides had been entangled for a hundred years, so that China could swallow America based on it, but this problem still exists.

"My father-in-law, I'm still a little worried. If we invest too much, what should we do if the Japanese become stronger and join forces with the Americans? Isn't this a stone to blow your feet?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, it seems that the things you have considered are much more comprehensive than mine!"

Zhang laughed

"Actually, this question is not difficult. Even if the two sides unite, so what? The ultimate hope of the United States is to recover the whole country. Japan is not a kind person. The cooperation between the two sides has no foundation and no common ground. Even if they are in harmony, they will be in harmony and disagreement. They will not threaten us. Once they cannot get the corresponding benefits, the United States and Japan will still answer this. Don't worry about this!"

Well, this is right. Zhao Gang nodded. Seeing that the matter was almost discussed and his father-in-law was very tired again, Zhao Gang left the house and returned to Zhongnanhai. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Zhongnanhai, he heard a news that he was looking forward to.

The United States declared war on Japan because the Titanic sank.
