The current world pattern division is not only unsatisfied, but Lee Haydn also feels a little dissatisfied. ⊥ Lee Haydn’s plan is to use China to control the Western Pacific, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and then form a large economic community with Germany and Austria, which is the basis for long-term economic development and prosperity. But the reality is that the relatively backward empire that controls the world’s largest colonial market and raw material supply. The 46 million British people own nearly 4,000 square kilometers of land, while the resources controlled by Germany and Austria are a very different from the British. Although the population in the market controlled by the Allies is more. But from a long-term perspective, the British can gain much more benefits than Germany and Austria with just abundant resources.

When Germany and Austria's economic development had to rely on the resources of the British colonies, the British would squeeze out most of the industrial and commercial profits of the two countries at the source.

Lee Haydn also hopes to re-dividify the world, especially the British colonies are full of robbery.

So he wanted to drag the British into a new round of war, and this idea coincided with Roosevelt's idea.

Lee Haydn's approach was to trigger a new round of naval arms race between Britain, the United States, Germany and other countries. At the same time, using military aid to China, it expanded military production between Germany and Austria. Driven by expanding exports, Austro-Hungary's steel production reached 15.6 million tons of steel, 110 million tons of coal, 98,000 tons of copper, 160,000 tons of aluminum and 5.26 million tons of oil. Among them, due to Hungary's rich bauxite resources, aluminum production was second only to the United States and ranked second in the world.

After the 20 years of development after the war, Austro-Hungarian industry continued to develop rapidly, with the annual shipbuilding production capacity reaching 8 million tons, 160,000 machine tools, 168,000 cars, 170,000 tractors and agricultural machinery, basically achieving mechanization of agricultural production. The domestic machine tool equipment is 760,000, and the annual output of aircraft is 5,600. Due to its abundant water conservancy resources, the per capita power generation is higher than that of Germany, ranking second in the world.

Due to the influence of the butterfly effect, after the Japanese withdrew from the Washington Navy Arms Restriction Treaty, they began to build two Yamato-class battleships in November 1935. Under pressure from the United States and Britain, the Japanese had to announce the main data of the new battleships to the United States and Britain. Indeed, as the Vienna newspaper speculated, the standard displacement of the Yamato was 60,000 tons and equipped with nine 18-inch main guns. Although the data was concealed, it still caused an uproar in the world.

The Austro-Hungarian Navy announced the construction of four new battleships before the Japanese released the data on the Yamato, which once again triggered a naval arms race craze throughout the world.

Germany also announced the start of construction of four new battleships. The United States, Britain, France and Italy were forced to follow closely, and soon began a new round of battleship construction projects.

In fact, the Austro-Hungarian Navy only issued a task to the Royal Shipyard and Isleya Shipyard in Trieste to build a new battleship, while the remaining construction budgets were moved to the cost of aircraft carrier construction to start in the next year. At the end of 1937, the new ships built by the Austro-Hungarian Navy at Trieste, Bora, Fum, Constanta and Sevastopol Black Sea Shipyard were actually six new heavy aircraft carriers with a displacement of 41,000 tons, completing an "amazing scam".

Of course, while these aircraft carriers began to quietly lay the keels, the Austro-Hungarian Navy held a grand launch ceremony for the two "United Force" class battleships started in 1936 in Trieste. Emperor Fredrich of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Grand Duke of Crown Prince Carl attended the launch ceremony of the "United Force" and "Emperor Jopif Franz" respectively. German Emperor William II and other foreign guests were also on the list of invited guests.

Under the special arrangement, the Navy's propaganda department sent a professional shooting team. The launch ceremony of the new battleship and the subsequent emperor's throne memorial to the sea ship reading ceremony were made into a news documentary, which was broadcast to ordinary people in China to expand publicity.

About 100,000 people flocked to the two major shipyards to watch the launch ceremony of the new battleships. Emperor Fredrich, who was nearly 70 years old, was naturally the focus of the entire launch ceremony. He enthusiastically inspected the naval guard of honor, then walked up to the temporary viewing platform covered with the red carpet, and waved to the people who came to watch the launch ceremony of the "United Force". People also cheered and greeted the emperor and head of state who led the empire to the trough, re-dominant Europe, and were deeply loved and supported by the people.

Under the guidance of the celebrating officers, the youngest Princess Sofia of the Royal family threw the bottle full of champagne to the bow. As the champagne splashed, fireworks bloomed. Princess Sofia raised a silver axe. Symbolly cut off a cable, opened the lock, and began to pour water into the dock. The super battleship with a standard displacement of 45,000 tons slowly floated in the dock, and then slowly sailed towards the nearest outfit dock under the towboat and towing machine.

Subsequently, the emperor watched the navy's ship reading on the battleship "Austria" that completed the modern modification. Although it lacked some of the main battleships of the Far East Fleet, it was still declaring the power of the Austro-Hungarian Navy to the whole world.

Just a few days after the ship reading, the Imperial Navy propaganda department completed the post-editing editing of the documentary with amazing efficiency, and accompanied it with the exciting "Double Eagle March" and "Radetsky March". With the release of the film, the latest new battleship "United Force" of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, equipped with ten 410mm main guns, has become a household name, and of course, it has soon spread throughout the world.

William II also followed suit. In January 1938, he participated in the launch ceremony of the first ship of Germany's latest "Scharnhorst" class battleship. The displacement of the four "Scharnhorst" class was even more than 3,000 tons more than the "Joint Force" class of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, reaching 48,600 tons, with a full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and was also equipped with 10 410mm main guns. Under the promotion of the German Navy, the Americans found that the "Iowa" class displacement and main gun caliber they had just started construction were smaller than that of the "Scharnhorst" class in Germany. Therefore, the U.S. Navy proposed a new naval construction plan and prepared to start construction of six "Montana" class battleships in 38-39, with the purpose of overwhelmingly overwhelmingly overwhelmingly the German and Austrian fleet.

The balance of naval power that had been maintained for nearly fifteen years was broken. Japan announced the construction budget for two Yamato-class battleships. The British had no choice but to follow closely and announced the construction of five "vanguard"-class battleships. The French also announced the construction of two "Richeliu"-class battleships, while Italy announced the construction of four "Veneto"-class battleships.

The "double act" of the Germans' unintentional performance has intensified the naval arms race in the whole world. Their unintentional actions made Lee Hayden's intentional "propaganda effect" more effective, which is indeed unexpected.

The whole world is in the craze for battleship construction, and Lee Haydn is very happy to watch the achievements he "created". At least he used 100 million US dollars of "waste" to cause nearly one billion US dollars of waste in battleship construction. This American native is indeed rich, and he doesn't blink his eyes when spending money.
