Chapter 545: A Fragile Power

World War and regional conflicts are completely different concepts, especially the competition between major powers. We cannot look at the numbers on the books. Everyone’s active equipment will be consumed soon. The next step is to compete for the country’s production and mobilization capabilities. Including people, they will become consumables. Whoever can grit their teeth and hold on will be able to achieve the final victory. This is the overall trend of World War II.

The more advanced the weapons and equipment, the better. Of course, it is not enough to be completely backward. The key is to find a balance between quantity and quality, national quality and industrial capabilities. One-sided pursuit of any aspect is problematic. Simply put, this is a bit like a linear planning problem, looking for an optimal solution.

Of course, there are not many countries in this world that can do this. In the original history, only the United States can do it very calmly. This requires three conditions: rich local resources, complete industrial system, and not severely damaged by war.

Looking at the only one who has the three conditions in World War II is the United States, while Germany's weakness lies in resources, while the Soviet Union's weakness was severely damaged by the war. As for Britain, Japan and other countries, the industry itself is not complete and is not worth mentioning.

Now, China is almost able to squeeze into this circle. World War II is definitely another good opportunity for China to develop. A country can encounter not many strategic opportunities, and whether it can grasp it is a difficult question.

The first battle made China stand up, and the goal set by Qiao Yu in World War II was to grow strong. China must use this foundation to grow steel and iron bones and have the ability to be invincible. As long as this problem is solved, relying on the intelligence of the Chinese, it will be a smooth road ahead.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu's nuclear weapons development became even more concerned. After years of research, China has initially understood the principle of nuclear explosion, and the rest is to accumulate raw materials, including uranium and heavy water. In addition, China has begun to build an experimental reactor in Gansu.

This speed is not very fast, but every progress is very stable. Qiao Yu does not require the launch of nuclear bombs before all countries. As long as he can squeeze into the first echelon, it is enough. Nuclear weapons are just the last resort.

After listening to Wu Tong's introduction, Qiao Yu added: "China's military industry must adhere to the principle of combining military and civilians, raise less soldiers in daily life, and quickly pull out a strong team during wartime. The most important thing is to organize the entire society. As long as 500 million people can be armed, no one can threaten us!"

Population advantage is indeed one of Qiao Yu's biggest reliances. Now the world's population is only about 1.5 billion, and China accounts for one-third. If it reaches that uncontrollable step, Qiao Yu also firmly believes that China can definitely hold on until the end.

China has now implemented its third five-year plan, and its steel output has exceeded 10 million tons. China has undoubtedly squeezed into the ranks of second-rate industrial powers.

Qiao Yu is becoming more and more confident. Now China's national railway network has been basically completed, of course, it is still a long way away from being complete, but it can also ensure that all major cities are connected by railways, and key border areas and super-large industrial and mining areas are connected to trains.

In addition, China has rebuilt the original Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which has changed from a narrow gauge to a standard gauge, which is completely connected with the domestic ones. In order to strengthen the connection, the railway through Hanoi in Nanning is also under construction.

The construction of narrow-gauge railways is easy to build, low cost, but they are slow and have small transportation capacity, and have fatal flaws. Later Vietnam has followed the railways left by the French, with a speed of only more than 40 kilometers, which takes more than a day from south to north, while China only has this time from south to north.

Initially, when Sichuan built Sichuan and Han Road, due to its technical capabilities, China had to adopt narrow gauges. However, after so many years of technical accumulation, China has formed a strong construction team and has rich experience. Building railways in Vietnam, that is, today's Annan Province is just a piece of cake.

China has a bigger plan, which is to start from Saigon, connect Phnom Penh and build it all the way to Bangkok, the capital of Siam. In this way, China can completely control Siam. The great powers were snatching the railway from China in the first place, and the powers would extend wherever the road was built.

Although China has a port in Siam, it is not connected on land, so it is not easy to completely control a country. At this time, Siam is in a bad situation and is actually surrounded by China.

The three Indochina countries in the east fell into China and became Annan and Central and Southern provinces. Myanmar in the west was mostly controlled by Chandra's power. Siam also knew that Chandra was supported by China. Now there are Chinese forces on both sides of the east and west, and the Gulf of Siam in the south was also under the control of China.

Now what Rama VII regrets the most is buying the Super Yong. Since the aircraft carrier entered Siam, China's power has also come with it, and it is simply unstoppable. Buying a ship and selling it to a country is also what Rama VII is most worried about.

Of course he didn't know that if it weren't for the Chinese market, Siam would have been unable to escape the influence of the economic crisis. Rama VII would have been driven off the throne long ago. In the end, Siam colluded with Japan, which was an even more tragic fate.

In this time and space, Siam has survived the economic crisis by chance with China's strong military support and a large amount of government procurement, but on the contrary, she still has a very comfortable life.

This kind of small country is mostly like this. No matter how much kindness it is, it will be quickly forgotten. Once something is wrong, it will cause resentment, just like a world-class power that is about to revolve around him.

However, Qiao Yu didn't expect them to be grateful. What Qiao Yu needs now is to first build the railway, then control the economy, and then promote two-way immigration, and eventually completely incorporate it into China and become a province in China. There is no room for negotiation!

Of course, infrastructural construction in the Indochina Peninsula requires a large amount of local labor. The most important one is the Vietnamese. These monkeys have the most rebelliousness, and the customs of Vietnam are the most fierce after years of war. Administrative officials sent by China have been attacked many times, killing and injuring dozens of people.

The security situation in the same two provinces. Central and Southern Provinces is much better. In summary, the Vietnamese are the strongest will to resist. Therefore, the government also has the most disgust towards these monkeys. First, it sent them in large quantities to the northwest and asked them to build national defense fortifications.

Now they are going to build infrastructure in the Indochina Peninsula, and they are also the well-deserved main force. The population of Vietnam is not too large, only more than 7 million. During the Sino-French war, a large number of Vietnamese minions were eliminated. The number exceeded 400,000, and the construction project recruited 500,000 young and strong laborers.

Most of the whole Vietnam is already old, weak, women and children, and its resistance has been severely weakened. At this time, China immigrated from the country in large numbers. You should know that China has a large population and there are many bachelors. Now Annan has a serious shortage of men. As long as it has some skills, it can even marry two wives.

In addition, China is vigorously promoting Chinese education. I believe that in 20 years, the original bloodline of Vietnamese people will be completely weakened, and the indigenous people will become minorities. By that time, most of them will be China's territory. No one can think of splitting it.

Before this, what China needs to do is to deal with the Vietnamese who are still determined to resist, hold the stick tightly in one hand and wave carrots in the other hand. As long as they truly belong to China, they can get benefits. If they have a different ambition, they will only be erased!

The focus of China's entire Third Five-Year Plan is to expand its military preparations and operate Southeast Asia. The actions of other countries are similar. China's evil neighbor Japan is also vigorously developing Indonesia's resources at this time, and the Japanese's methods are more direct and violent than China.

They drove a large number of Indonesian monkeys to deserted islands and let them die. You should know that there are tens of thousands of islands in Indonesia, and some of which are undeveloped areas also have cannibals. They are simply a prehistoric world that is completely different from civilized society.

When you arrive in this place, you will be dead end. The Japanese completely ignore any accusations. More and more Japanese are migrating from their local areas to Indonesia. There are too many undeveloped areas in this world's largest archipelago. They have superior climatic conditions and abundant resources. They are not troubled by earthquakes. They are simply an ideal paradise.

Since Japan occupied Borneo, going to Southeast Asia has become one of the loudest slogans for the Japanese. Japan has developed Indonesia so hard, and has also felt the atmosphere of war and has to strive to expand its strength.

"Austria was once part of Germany, and all the Ollidians were also part of the Germans, our brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, and we Germans cannot be divided. We must unite and build a powerful country..."

Every time Hitler said something, the military and civilians in front of the square burst into a shocking cheer, which made Xiaobei proud. After getting the number, Germany had quickly grasped the key to the aircraft carrier. Now the shipyard is working day and night to build Germany's own aircraft carrier.

With the surge in confidence, Hitler was no longer satisfied with his existing territory. Germany needed greater living space. The first goal was to Austria. Austria was originally part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the process of German reunification, Austria was excluded and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was established. After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria became an independent country and had been within the scope of Italy.

Now Germany is finally pointing its finger here. Hitler wants to complete the cause that Bismarck has not completed and turn Austria into a part of Germany. At this time, British Prime Minister Chamberlain actually said that when Germany occupied Austria, don’t expect to get support from other major powers!

Chamberlain's words perfectly demonstrated the shamelessness of Western politicians. How shameless is this to say. Austria is a member of the League of Nations. Britain has repeatedly made guarantees to maintain Austria's independence. A lot of treaties have been signed, but at this time they all became waste paper. Even British and French politicians also said that Germany had just entered their own back garden.

Under the indulgence of these people, the German army rushed into Austria without bloodshed. Without a single shot, Hitler turned Austria into the German Eastern Province.

The top Chinese military and political leaders were also extremely shocked by this situation. Jiang Baili shook his head and sighed: "The British are raising tigers to cause trouble. They shoot themselves in the foot. It is easy to swallow a country, and Germany's appetite will only grow bigger and bigger!"

"Fragile countries are always fragile. We have witnessed the decline of an empire. The more we indulge our enemies, the less we will get peace. We are afraid that war will be faster than we think. We must be prepared for war!"
