"Even Americans, we are not afraid now!" Fan Zhong said confidently, this confidence originated from the strategic plan in Meng Xiang's hands.

If it were said that when Meng Xiang showed up last year, Fan Zhong was still worried about challenging the former largest country, the sun was still set, but this year the British were no longer enough to become his opponent. In the future strategic plan of the General Staff, the only one who showed more and more strength was in front of China.

"The Americans' steel production exceeded 80 million tons in 43 years. Even though our steel production last year reached 16 million tons, the gap is still huge." Zhou Bai said with concern.

Zhou Bai had just read out the annual economic work report for 43 years a while ago, and a more detailed and true report list was also delivered to the desks of senior giants.

Last year's economic performance was undoubtedly a step further, especially the most eye-catching steel output in this era.

In 1942, steel production had reached nearly 11 million tons. This year, it soared to nearly half.

Logically speaking, heavy industry construction requires a accumulation process. It can grow exponentially on the poor base, but after reaching a certain amount, the growth will slow down under the comprehensive constraints of the market, cost, equipment and talents.

If there is no accident, countries like Huaxia with weak industrial foundation may encounter this bottleneck in industrial development when their output has exceeded 10 million tons, and the domestic industrial level has not increased significantly and market demand has stabilized. According to Huaxia's industrial level, even if the Chinese market has more demand, even if there is no sufficient steel production and insufficient processing capacity, it can only be a pile of scrap iron piled there.

The huge number of talents needed by industrial chains has become a bottleneck restricting China's further development.

Without enough relevant talents, even if Meng Xiang buys more machines, it will be useless. This requires a digestion and absorption precipitation process.

Because of this, Meng Xiang's plan did not have a plan to significantly expand steel production capacity. It would be good if the steel production can increase by 20% on the basis of available capacity this year. Even he did not expect such a large increase.

However, several things in 43 years have changed all this.

In occupying the North Korean Peninsula, China accepted three steel plants set up by the Japanese. After losing the Northeast, the Japanese originally planned to use the iron ore resources of the North Korean Peninsula to build a stable arms supply base. However, China packed and packed up with people and equipment. Therefore, China's steel production capacity increased by more than one million.

Last year, China completely captured Australia. Although it was destroyed by the Japanese and Allied forces, nearly one million production capacity was still retained.

Because of China's southern attack plan, Meng Xiang was worried that he would encounter an economic blockade after breaking up with Britain and the United States. He suddenly ordered a large number of blast furnaces and steel smelting machines from the Americans, increasing the steel production capacity by about one million.

In the hands of Germans and ordering and exchange for a batch of steel equipment produced by Germany or produced in other European countries. The production capacity can be increased by another million.

Of course, these production capacity did not convert into actual production in time due to time. Perhaps some of the production capacity increased due to these, but it was not the main reason for the rapid growth of China's steel production capacity last year.

China's steel production breakthrough last year mainly comes down to two points: technology and talent.

After several years of research, China has mastered and improved the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking technology, which greatly improved the efficiency of steelmaking. In addition, various smelting and manufacturing technologies obtained from the Germans at a higher level, as well as advanced management experience learned from the Americans, have greatly improved the productivity.

Moreover, this improvement is not only reflected in the steel industry, but has driven the improvement of the entire industrial level.

Because of concerns about the fact that things in the Australian mainland have turned against Britain and the United States, China has successively recalled more than 100,000 international students in Britain and the United States. These people have injected vitality into China's industry in various aspects such as technology and management.

And there are also a large number of connections and talents that have accumulated over the years when they come to China.

The United States is not necessarily a paradise. Although the war brought more employment opportunities to the United States, some Europeans were still depressed and unsuccessful after fleeing to the Americans. Including some local scientific and technological talents from the Americans, when the United States participating in the war was about to make way for the war, some trendy scientific and technological technologies were not taken seriously.

But Meng Xiang, who was still bathed in the light of some historical gold fingers, was very familiar with the development of technology. Even the goal of some international students studying was targeted to target these future technologies. At this time, it came in great use and brought back many future technology giants.

Because of the years of war in Europe, many left-behind scientific and technological personnel and senior technical personnel have completely disappointed, and a large number of them have been poached by China one after another.

This kind of talents and technologies became the main driving force for the great industrial development of China last year, and also promoted the significant potential increase in steel production on the original basic equipment.

Of course, there is no greater miracle when tapping potential in this way, unless you spend money to expand production capacity again.

However, with the accumulation of China's industrial foundation, it has already had the ability to expand itself. Meng Xiang does not want to use a large amount of imports to squeeze China's hematopoietic ability. Moreover, in the past two years, it has reached a critical period of Meng Xiang's robbery plan. There may be a large number of machines that do not need to spend money to be brought back directly. Therefore, in the new year plan, Meng Xiang did not import and expand the steel industry machinery and equipment.

Zhou Bai, who didn't know Meng Xiang's plan to rob, naturally saw at a glance that the gap in strength between the United States and China could not be evened in a short period of time.

"The steel output is five times worse, and the industrial manufacturing capacity, especially the military industry, is probably even worse!" Zhou Bai hesitated for a moment and said.

Although Zhou Bai is not like the pro-German style, he is a hard-core pro-American faction, but because of his experience of studying in the United Kingdom and the United States, he has a particularly profound understanding of the United Kingdom and the United States, especially his deep understanding of the Americans' powerful industry.

Steel output is only one aspect. The terror of American strength is not just steel, but Americans are investing most of the steel output into war machines, turning them into tanks, cannons, aircrafts and warships, etc., and sending them directly to the front line of war.

As we all know, China's military industry has just begun, and most of the weapons of the National Defense Forces are imported.

When China completed its strategy to Australia before the American war machine reached its peak, it made the Americans hesitate and did not completely break up with China.

If this is one year later, I am afraid that China has just landed in Australia, and the Americans will first land in Australia from sea and directly seize the fruits of victory.

Now there is a Nanyang around China that needs to be completely solved, and the possibility of Americans intervening is doubled.

"The United States is not that scary. They still have to be busy in Europe for a while, and this period is enough for us to completely solve the problem in Southeast Asia." Meng Xiang said with a calm smile.

The entire historical trend was somewhat distorted, and Meng Xiang had to plan in advance, taking advantage of the focus of the Americans in Europe and closing the Internet in Southeast Asia and even the entire Asia as soon as possible to avoid Americans taking action and exerting their efforts to deal with China.

Zhou Bai is not very involved in military affairs and does not interfere in daily life. At this time, Meng Xiang also needs to explain and cheer him up. "Even if the Americans want to compete with us, it will be the end of their strength when they come here across the Pacific!"

The United States of this era is not the controllable world in later generations, and the best transport aircraft in the United States cannot fly across the Pacific Ocean at once. The logistical pressure of crossing an ocean is enough to give Americans a headache.

"Not they can definitely cross the Pacific Ocean!" Fan Zong smiled beside him.

Since the base weapons are unknown and some things cannot be explained, Meng Xiang deliberately used clones to control the links, blurring everyone's vision. In addition, many of them do not require financial appropriations, which also makes Zhou Bai, the boss, not very clear about the true strength of the Chinese Defense Forces. However, Fan Zhong, who is in charge of the General Staff, has a rough estimate of the overall strength of the Chinese army.

This also includes China's naval strength that has never been very prominent.

With the strength of the Chinese Navy as known to Fan Zong, although it may not be able to directly overwhelm the US military, with the strong air force of China, it is still okay to cut off the Americans' Pacific supply line. Without logistics supplies, how long can the Americans who fight across the ocean last?

"Even if they come, how many people can come? Can they compare with our tens of millions of troops?" Old Tang next to him also smiled.

Even after China's disarmament, there were a number of engineers and fewer field troops, everyone knew that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, which had been strengthened through mechanization, was only strong but not weak. It should not be too simple to deal with the American second-rate army. Even if the Americans could cross the Pacific Ocean, could they successfully land under the protection of the Chinese army? It would be easier to log in, and I am afraid that under the encirclement of the most powerful army in China, there would be no return.

"The US team cannot get any advantage from the Japanese, let alone our National Welfare Force!" Yan Xishan also smiled.

"I'm afraid they won't dare to come!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.

Although once the United States completely turns against each other, it will be very unfavorable to China's economic development, Meng Xiang is not afraid of fighting with Britain and the United States. When the fruits are ripe, Meng Xiang can no longer hesitate and delay. (To be continued)!~!
