Chapter 60 They can't afford it

After this night, the relationship between Jin Batian and Melia has improved greatly. In the past, Melia was too lazy to even talk to Jin Batian and said something more to the iceberg beauty. Now, Melia is a little woman who doesn’t hold Jin Batian and can’t sleep well.

After the Xingcheng shipwreck, although a large number of Japanese spies were exposed to being killed or fled, even the "No. 1" and "No. 2" developed by the Special High School Course hid in Hong Kong for refuge (Wang Zhaoming, who was a co-conspirator of Chen Jitang's Guangdong Incident, and Li Yichang, one of the planners, were also wanted by Yu Hanmou).

After the situation in the country was in great shape, the power was sent to support the Nanjing government to declare war, Wang Zhaoming angrily scolded the actions of these warlords: "A piece of stones are dropped from the banner." As for Li Yichang, it doesn't matter to him. As a Taoist priest in the country, Li Yichang's belief is: if you don't leave your master here, you will have your own place to leave your master, and you will not leave your master everywhere, and you will live on the mountain.

Although this is a very optimistic life idea, after arriving in Hong Kong, Li Yichang found that most of the rich and powerful people here belonged to the John family. Rich and powerful people were Li Yichang's development goal. The common people could only bring some reputation to Li Yichang. After seeing this, Li Yichang began to systematically learn the English of the John family at the age of 36, and linked the unique skills of fortune-telling and character-based characters such as Zhou Yi and other fortune-telling and character-based characters with English. Later, his reputation rose sharply and went to the John family's native British Isles to deduce the fortune-telling and character-based characters of the John family. The royal family of the British Isles treated him with the courtesy of the national teacher.

However, at this time, the special high school courses could still receive some news from the Nanjing government, which was not only the result of decades of preparation, but also the Zhongtian family itself neglected to prevent it.

In the warlord era, a large number of Japanese officers came to Zhongtianjia to develop spy networks in the name of instructors or observer liaison officers. Even the Northeast Military Academy under the command of Zhang Dashen, who was strictly guarding the Japanese, hired a large number of Japanese officers as instructors. It can be said that before September 18, Japanese officers had already penetrated their tentacles into many nodes through the Manchurian Railway and the forces operating in the Northeast, otherwise the general would not have been blown up on his territory.

It can be said that the fall of the Northeast was not accidental, but inevitable. The Japanese guessed the bottom line of the young marshal from the fact that the young marshal did not dare to attack the Japanese because of the Huanggutun incident. An old saying by Zhongtianren was that "the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable", but this young marshal could even recognize the hatred of killing his father in order to fight for power and profit. It seems that the Special High School's evaluation of the young marshal's "dog father and pig son" is correct.

The Northeast is bordered by two powerful countries, including the two powerful countries of the foot-basin chicken, big and feather bear. Even if a tiger cannot be sent to protect it, a guard dog like Zhang Dashen would be sent to visit him. However, the warlords are concerned about the transmission of their subordinates and nephews. After Zhang Dashen's death, the power of the Northeast fell into the hands of a second-generation ancestor who had all five poisons, and was completely defeated in a few years.

This news has a huge blow to the Xiaobenji family, but the morale of the Zhongtian family has also increased greatly. When another Zhongshan-class battleship also appeared on the Bund of Shanghai, all the observers of all matters were heartbroken - a new round of arms race is about to begin again.

Before World War I, countries began an arms race. In a few years, more than 100 iron-armored warships were launched by European powers. At that time, Europe's policy was to use ships as the basis, and tighten the belts and also carry out military competitions. These European people's armored warships that cost huge construction cost most of them sank in naval warfares or were decommissioned after the war.

Now older Europeans don’t want to recall that sad past, but things in the world are not diverted by personal will. If the Zhongtian family only has one super battleship, that’s nothing. There are already seven major ships in the world that can sink or severely damage it at the cost of one or two or even three. But now the Zhongtian family has two super battleships.

The combat power of a super warship is not a simple mathematical problem as 1+1=2. Through the destruction of the Flying Chicken Outbound Fleet in the Bund Sea Battle, observers from various countries have roughly estimated the combat power of a super warship, that is, the protection, artillery power, speed and tonnage of the super warship exceed the seven major ships in terms of protection, artillery power, speed and tonnage. If a super warship can still pay some price to solve it by siege, then when facing the two super warships, the seven major ships should be thinking about what price they can pay to break through.

The news finally turned to the emperor of the Football Chicken - this was also the last person in the senior management to get the news. The emperor of the Football Chicken was startled at first. It seemed that these two super warships were launched at the same time as sister ships. Then he was happy. Fortunately, he did not agree to the navy's reckless decisive battle plan, otherwise, the two Nagato-class would be severely damaged. Finally, there was another worry. If there were really two such super warships, the navy of the whole country would probably be no match.

However, being the emperor also has its benefits, that is, when you have no idea, ask, "What do you think?"

This time, everyone stared at each other and stared at him. Even the most radical army minister Sadao Araki could only say: "Let's talk, your majesty. As long as we can protect the interests of Manchukuo in the puppet Manchukuo, it should be cost-effective."

In fact, there is another way that Sadao Araki didn't say, that is, building ships, building large ships, and building super warships to confront the Nakatian family. But Sadao Araki is the Minister of the Army. How could he support building ships? That was drawing blood from the Army. The army would not transfusion blood to the Navy. The taxes of the footbowel chicken family were already heavy. Many poor families had already sold their children as soldiers and women. There was a place where they sold their daughters and were called villages without girls. Now, no matter how much they were drawn, they could not be drawn.

The military budget of the Xiaobenji family was originally half of the Navy and Army. If it weren't for the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 and the Bostonji family's compensation for the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, the Xiaobenji family would not have been able to build so many warships. However, a few days ago, the occupied three eastern provinces of September 18th and created many yellow and white objects in banks in various northeast China. Sadao Araki didn't want so many yellow and white objects to turn into warships. They should have turned into bayonets, 38 large covers and 92 infantry artillery heavy machine guns in the hands of soldiers. Even if they turned into geisha in their own house, they were better than turning into warships.

Navy Minister Okaku Tsen said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of this plan, you can only negotiate and preserve your strength first, and then vigorously develop the navy and build a new type of super warship in the future."

The emperor asked, "What if they continue to build super warships."

Navy Minister Okaku Tsen Seng said: "Your Majesty, our country's special high school class is full of China. It is certain that this super warship was not built by the Zhongtian family. According to the analysis of the special high school class and the Navy Staff, it should have been bought. However, it is not clear which one was bought. Major European and American countries have not built large ships in the past one or two years.

But whether it is built by ourselves or bought, we can bribe the countries of the League of Nations to limit the naval tonnage of the Zhongtian family. At the same time, because we have withdrawn from the League of Nations, we can build ships without any bullets. Moreover, the Chiang regime in Nanjing only had taxes from four or five provinces, which was much worse than our country. In order to build large ships, our country's citizens can tighten their belts and drink porridge. This cohesion is not comparable to that of the Zhongtian family. The Navy General Staff judged that they could not afford to support more navals."

Big Kao Cen Sheng's judgment makes sense. The number of Japanese navy is less than one-tenth of that of the Army, but it costs the same money as the Army and even more. Building ships and raising ships is not a matter of saving money. Going to the sea to stroll around and shoot two guns will cost even more. Therefore, the Zhongtian family has not purchased new ships and maintained old ships for decades. The Japanese General Staff Headquarters judged that after the peace talks, as long as the foot-basin chicken insisted on not paying compensation, it would be good if the Zhongtian family did not take off their pants.
