When Niz and Foss left, it was already early in the morning and it was almost dawn.

Hale also sighed. He often felt that 99:99% of men in this world were not as good as a cripple.

Of course, it includes himself.

"What do you think?"

"General Niz? You should be very sure, after all..."

"It's not him."

Hale was slightly stunned and understood what Lofos meant.

This is not an ordinary war, it is a total war, and strictly speaking, it is the first global war that the Newland Federation has truly participated in.

Last battle?

The Newland Federation sent troops to participate in the war in the late stage of the war, and it was declared over without a few wars, and there was no comprehensive mobilization for the war.

Moving forward, whether it is dealing with the Sban Empire or plundering the neighboring countries to the south, it is just a local war.

As for the civil war triggered by slavery and abolition, there were also the two previous wars of independence, which were carried out on the local land and were incomparable.

It can be seen that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Newland Federation did not mobilize wars in a real sense.

Relatively speaking, the Liangxia Empire had much more experience in mobilizing wars.

From the founding battle that year, to the battle with the Luosha Empire for huge land hegemony, the fierce battle with the Bran Kingdom in Fanyan Ocean, and even the last global war, the Liangxia Empire fought four times only in a large-scale war mobilized by the whole country, and each time it tried its best.

When it comes to mobilization experience, Newland Federation is not a little bit inferior.

It can be seen that this is what Lofos is worried about.

A comprehensive war fights is the ability to mobilize. The war strength that a country can break out when it is under its limit and withstand internal and external pressures.

In addition, it is the time it takes to complete the outbreak.

In Lofoss' words, if the Newland Federation can successfully complete the war mobilization and unreservedly realize the potential of the war, then even if it is defeated in the early stage of the war, even if it loses its strategic initiative, it can defend itself on the vast Eastern Ocean and use space to exchange time. Even if it takes a huge price in the end and takes more time, it will not be defeated quickly.

If the war mobilization is not completed successfully, even if the battle is won in the early stage, it will be a flash in the pan.

Niz had long mentioned that the Liangxia Empire had entered a state of war one year before, and the potential for war will break out next year. Therefore, even if the mobilization work of the Newland Federation goes well, it will take the next year to enter the state. Whether the gap in this year can be smoothed will determine the victory or defeat.

If you want to say, this is also the key to the decision to join the war until now.

That Rear Admiral was married?

It's just an excuse!

Although Lofos never denies the ability of the Baizhi War, especially through Niz, after having a deep understanding of the naval battles at the beginning of the year, Lofos once mentioned that the Baizhi War is the best naval general today and the most powerful opponent of the Newland Navy. His value is equivalent to a fleet. However, in modern wars, the role played by the generals is very limited. This is not to deny the value of the general, but to prove the value of the general, that is, the more powerful the general needs to be backed by the powerful army.

The "No. 1 Navy" that was previously praised by many Western countries is a typical counterexample.

Takano is also very powerful, and his personal ability will never be bad, but he was cheated by a group of mediocre people and buried him in the Nayi Empire.

How did a powerful army come about?

Without a strong country as the foundation, how can a strong army come from?

The most representative one is actually a modern naval battle with aircraft carriers and aviation forces as the main force.

In the battle where aircraft carriers decide the outcome, combat aircraft plays a decisive role, and pilots play a decisive role.

It should be said that the pilot's ability directly determines the combat effectiveness of the aviation force.

After suffering such a huge loss, Liang Xia Navy was able to turn defeat into victory and take the initiative again because there were a large number of pilots.

Before the war broke out, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of civilian pilots in the Liangxia Empire.

Without a strong and sound industrial system, where can the developed aviation industry come from? What can we use to train pilots?

Lofos delayed for several months and forced the "Aid Act" to be passed in Congress, hoping to use this to bring its own industry into a state of war ahead of schedule.

Whether for oneself or for the allies, as long as it is to produce arms, what's the difference?

Of course, what Lofos did was obviously not as simple as pushing for a bill to be passed in Congress.

After being elected president for the first time, we are promoting the new policy to prepare for the war!

What is the core of the new policy?

Large-scale infrastructure construction is carried out by federal government deficit spending.

What to build?

A transportation network that connects several cities from the east coast to the west coast across Newland, connecting roads and railways along the west coast.

What are you doing?

Not to shift the center of gravity westward.

As early as a few years ago, Lofos approved a special grant, funded by the federal government, to build a larger lock on the Wangxi Canal, so that warships with larger tonnage can be passed during wartime and lift the size restrictions on battleships and other main ships.

The relocation of the Eastern Force Command to Honu Island is also related to this.

In addition, investing in the construction of shipyards, steel plants, chemical plants and aircraft plants in Luocheng, San Hucheng, Xitucheng and Shenggo on the west coast is also to enhance the military industry strength of the western region, that is, facing the east ocean, and reduce the local transportation burden.

The saved transportation costs can produce more arms!

What to say is too short.

Strictly speaking, it has not been eight years. After all, Lofos began to fully implement the new policy in the third year after he moved into the Gray Palace.

That's six years.

Not to mention what can be done in six years, but the population distribution that is almost unaffected by the policy will not be able to undergo major changes in just six years.

On the west coast, what is missing is people!

Due to the lack of workers, many companies cannot start work at all, and many companies even give up investing on the West Coast because of the high labor costs.

But from the perspective of population distribution, the West Coast region could not develop in just a few decades.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for decades!

Even now, the East Coast is still the core area of ​​the Newland Federation.

This is also the key to investing in the Xi Canal.

If there is no way to open a factory on the West Coast, you have to enhance your maritime transportation capabilities, shorten your maritime transportation time and reduce your maritime transportation costs as much as possible during wartime.

The key is to ensure that the two oceans can be easily mobilized back and forth.

If the main ships with huge tonnage and size cannot be mobilized back and forth, the two-ocean fleet will not be advantageous, but a huge burden!

In fact, the limitation of the size of the canal lock on the battleship has become a nightmare for Newland Naval designers.

The latest design of the fast battleship and the rear treaty fleet aircraft carrier are the victims, that is, the width of the hull must be less than 34 meters of the canal lock!

"In a few days, I'll go over and take a look, maybe I can finish the work ahead of time."

"I will go back to Huacheng tomorrow. You don't have to wait a few days and set off early tomorrow morning. No matter how big the problem is, be sure to ensure that the lock can be completed on time."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
Chapter completed!
