Chapter 820 Private wealth for warships

~Date: ~October 17th~

"To win the war, we should not rely on our young men to sacrifice for the country, but on the young men from the enemy country to sacrifice for the country!" Meng Xiang hummed a low voice after saying what Patton had once said, sighed and put down the information collected by the Rat Two.

The thick two-foot-high data is about the current navies of various countries.

At this time, after the Japanese Navy expanded even stronger than in history, its number had jumped from 127,000 before the War of Resistance Against Japan to more than 600,000.

The number of US Navy personnel has risen rapidly with its solid foundation, exceeding 800,000 and breaking through to the millions.

Meng Xiang vaguely remembers that when the Japanese surrendered in 45 years later, the number of the US Navy had exceeded 3 million. The Japanese Navy had only been 1.7 million at the most.

But even compared with the relatively weak Japanese Navy, the Chinese Navy's military strength numbers seem more immature.

As it is about to enter 43 years, compared with the number of Chinese Army that exceeds tens of millions, the size of the number of naval personnel of less than 300,000 seems particularly thin.

The Chinese Defense Forces were included in the formal organization and absorbed the 25,000 Central Party members, but only 120,000 people, which is also the information obtained by other countries.

What they don't know is that there are nearly 100,000 pure combat personnel not included in the organization scattered around the coast of China, Southeast Asia and even Africa and America, and have already met the requirements of a qualified naval soldier.

Of course, this does not include the Marine Corps, which has reached 200,000.

In addition, there are 50,000 naval cadets from the six naval academies of Qingdao, Tianjin, Dalian, Shanghai, Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and will be the backbone forces supporting China's future naval officer system.

From the time of absorbing the Central Party’s naval forces in 38, from the time of building a base shipyard in 38, from the time of S-class torpedo boats fighting against the Japanese gunboats in inland rivers, to the time of the past five years, Meng Xiang has spared no expense to build a navy that can surprise the eyes of the world’s naval powerhouses.

But after spending five years of energy and the support of the base, Meng Xiang could only do this.

Thirty thousand elite soldiers were the greatest achievement he had cultivated. In his ambitions, the future journey of the Chinese warships was in five continents and four oceans.

But facing the vast battlefield of the world, 30,000 elite soldiers are really fewer. A few big battles may be almost exhausted.

"The chess game in America and Africa has been almost arranged, just waiting for a good opportunity. Only providing weapons, consuming other people's lives, and engaging in conspiracy is easy! Unfortunately, the domestic navy still can't reach out and cannot pick fruits!" Meng Xiang sighed in his heart.

He also knew that in this era, human life was not valuable. What were valuable were weapons, ammunition, and military supplies.

It is precisely because of the base that the strategic material problems that many people in this era have been solved, and it has also made him squander so easily in this era.

"There is insufficient talent! Do you really need to use the Soviet Russians to help the war draw out elites? It seems that there are enough warships to hone a group of iron-blooded warriors." Meng Xiang's idea came to his mind, but he was instantly sank by the huge casualties of the Soviets.

In Meng Xiang's heart, even if every Chinese is incompetent, he is still a part of China. He carries a inheritance of the blood of the Chinese nation and cannot be easily regarded as cannon fodder and scattered in the empty history.

There may be a few elites of 30,000, but there are still 50,000 students, and nearly 200,000 other officers and soldiers who are being trained. Perhaps there is no accumulation of hundreds of years, but continuous training will continue to produce elites.

Now, since the 12 nautical miles along the coast, even within a further range of the vanguard artillery, are all safe areas of China, and the entire Bohai Sea is even more inland sea controlled by the Chinese Navy. A large number of fishermen and landdrakes transferred from the army are using these environments to transition to a real navy. Perhaps three years later, under the leadership of 30,000 elite fires, China can also pull up a million naval army.

"The way is to play steadily!" Meng Xiang had some regrets in his heart, and still kept his mind gathering to watch the Japanese and beautiful snipes compete with each other.

Obviously, China's victory in Diaoyu Islands flights stimulates the United States more obviously than the Japanese.

The Japanese had already calmed down a lot after receiving orders for two Yamato-class battleships.

Among them are the efforts made by the Germans to mediate the relationship between China and Japan.

The Germans are now facing pressure from the US Navy to continue to increase its troops in Great Britain. The Japanese dragged the Americans more in the Pacific.

They already had H-class battleships that were more in line with the German style and were no longer interested in Yamato-class. They also actively contacted the Yamato-class battleships of the copycat company and handed over to the Japanese.

Meng Xiang originally wanted to sell one to the Japanese to make up for the vacancy of the Musashi. Unexpectedly, the Japanese took this opportunity to reconcile with the counterfeit company and ordered more than a dozen warships at once. In addition to the two Yamato-class battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers were also purchasing large-scale purchases.

As for the purchase cost, Meng Xiang was so poor that the Japanese would speed up their efforts toward the Chinese, allowing the Japanese to pay at discounts on land, houses, mines, factories, rubber plantations and other real estate in Nanyang, such as Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and France, which they received on the occupied land.

When Meng Xiang regained the land of China, he was exposed to issues about foreign assets very early.

The Western civilized world is based on private property and sacred and inviolable.

Except for the public property of the Soviets, there is generally no direct robbery of private property.

Even Germans, except for some military-controlled enterprises, always robbed under other names. Even the private property of Jews had to make up excuses.

Because this is the cornerstone of Western civilization, if someone shakes others, there will always be someone who shakes oneself.

In the East, it is obvious that this regulation is more vague. The Japanese can rob without restraint.

However, when the Pioneer Army deals with Western countries such as Britain and the United States, they have to abide by such regulations.

Even when the concession was taken back, the many foreign property in the concession could not be confiscated directly.

This means that it turns against the Western world ahead of schedule, is on the blacklist of the Western world, and loses the opportunity to introduce various technologies, machinery and talents from the Western world.

Especially Americans, they don’t care what kind of people in power or what kind of ideology they pursue. They only care whether the games played by those in power meet their rules. It was precisely because the Soviets broke this rule that they were boycotted by the Western world.

This also means that the cornerstone of power built by Meng Xiang for China will be directly shaken.

Thinking that one day in the future, a single word of state ownership can turn the wealth a person creates in his life into nothing, Meng Xiang cannot tolerate his blueprint becoming a graffiti for a few people.

The sacred rules of private wealth are still operating in China. The wealth of many Western countries in China, especially those involving national interests, is basically slowly recovered through various means.

Of course, there are many ways to sell those property at a low price, and even gangsters and radical strikes, which are enough to make Westerners spit out the mines, land, roads, factories, houses, etc. that have been plundered cheaply. A large group of legal professionals slowly confiscated the property that Westerners used illegal means to plunder with capital and interest.

But overall, it is abiding by the rules. The amount of money leaked between the arms that Meng Xiang controls the Western world is enough to be used as redemption and compensation payments, and is paid in place.

There are even some foreign manufacturers who are booming in China, and are regarded as catfish by Meng Xiang. They are fighting fiercely with national enterprises with support behind them. In addition, Meng Xiang spared no effort at home and abroad to promote, which dispels some people's bad impression of China.

These impressions include the retaliatory confiscation of Japanese industries by China.

Meng Xiang never was polite to the Japanese. In addition to the procedures that were thrown out through legal means for the sake of concealing face, Huaxia can be said to have received all the Japanese property in China. Even those Japanese expatriates who had not obtained personal safety did not let go, but did not give Japan a penny of compensation. She also actively sued for various claims of harm to China.

The time-consuming data such as Japanese massacre, bacteria, poison gases, etc. that China has continuously collected in the past two years not only intensified anti-Japanese hatred in China, but also gained the sympathy and support of the mainstream Western countries.

Therefore, all counterattacks against the Japanese have become a natural and special situation.

However, the Japanese naturally continued to receive many interests in Southeast Asia in the name of war.

In addition to the robbery, the Japanese cunning had already changed the names of owners of many wealth through various procedures and contracts. They were also in the precautions, and one day after a peace talks with the Western world, they would passively take ownership of these property.

Some of these methods are not recognized, while others need to be recognized depends on the strength of property owners of all parties in future disputes. There are many elites who started their wealth in the Japanese and puppet regimes in later generations who started their own businesses soon.

Meng Xiang was determined to take all these places into his pocket, but he could not avoid these private wealth issues when communicating with the Western world. In order to make the dispute more rational in the future, and to the worst ending after historical changes, Meng Xiang prepared a big stick with one hand, but played these cheap contracts with the other.

The Japanese don’t have much gold, silver, foreign exchange hard currency, and the Japanese are more willing to exchange their stolen private wealth for warships at low prices.

The transaction of large areas of India and Australia's land and other private wealth was negotiated for 2 Yamato, 2 Dafeng-class aircraft carriers, 2 top-level heavy patrols, 4 Yangyan-class and 4 Qiuyue-class destroyers.

China's shield is a little thicker.
