Volume 3 The Four Hundred and Sixty-Sixth Chapter of the Thousand Years of Miracles Purchasing Old W
Xu Shuzheng originally used the arms that the Americans had free support to him as the Third Army. The Americans knew who was the main force that truly posed a threat to the Soviet army. No bullet was given to Xu Shuzheng, but all of them were transported to Wang Maoru's army. This made Wang Maoru feel a bit surprised before setting off. He was very grateful to Major General Holwin, the commander of the US Interference Army.
Wang Maoru sent Xu Shuzheng away in Shenyang. When he saw Xu Shuzheng's spirits, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Xu Shuzheng didn't know what would happen when he came to Russia. Then Major General Holwin revealed a piece of news to Wang Maoru, in order to prevent the new world war and world arms race, global military restrictions will be imposed after the European War and control the main warships and naval scales of various countries. Wang Maoru suddenly thought of the very famous Treaty of Washington in the late stage of World War I. During the Washington Conference, the United States
The five naval powers of the United States, Britain, Japan, France and Italy signed the "Naval Arms Restriction Treaty" (Washington Naval Treaty) to limit the tonnage of the main ships (35,000 tons) and the main gun caliber (no more than 16 inches), and stipulates that the total tonnage ratio of the main ships (battleships and battlecruisers) of the navies of the five countries of the United States, Britain, Japan, France and Italy is 10:10:6:3.5:3.5. In addition, the total tonnage, standard displacement, and gun caliber of the aircraft carriers of the contracting states are also stipulated.
What made him remember this treaty was the proposal of the Navy plan of the 88th Fleet. Because Japan abides by the Treaty of Washington, it stipulated that eight battleships and eight battlecruisers were used as the main naval battleships. It was also because of the provisions of the Treaty of Washington that Japan had to demolish or stop building many planned warships, causing Japan to lose hundreds of millions of yen, accelerating the decline of Japan's domestic economy.
Influenced by the Treaty of Washington, Britain reduced its huge navy. Of course, one of the important reasons why Britain reduced its navy was that Britain did not need to undertake such a large combat task after the war, and its huge navy would drag down the peaceful economy. Many British warships during World War I had to be demolished one after another and sold as scrap iron.
Thinking of this, Wang Maoru immediately called Shen Honglie, the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Navy, and appointed Shen Honglie to the UK to purchase the British warships that were about to be retired. Shen Honglie was very excited and asked: "What are Xiushuai's requirements for purchasing warships?"
"I have a few requirements," Wang Maoru said, "First. Because we belong to the local government, we don't have that much money. Although we borrow a lot from the United States and Japan, this money must be used in various places, and not much can be given to you. You must follow the principle of spending small money to do big things and save money for the country and the people."
"yes."
"The second point is that you don't want too old warships. The power system you buy must be good. It's best to get a battleship. Of course, we don't need a battleship that dominates the world. We just need to dominate the country. Even if we buy the active British battleship, we won't be able to use it."
Shen Honglie clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Okay. Battleships, Battleships!" He was extremely excited. Battleships, since China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, there were no large warships. If there was a battleship in his hand and other models of warships, it would definitely be able to restore the glory of the Chinese navy. Why did he work hard for half his life? Isn't it just to restore the heroic posture of the Chinese navy? He was a little moved when he thought about this. If there were battleships, the Beiyang Navy and the Southern Government Navy were not afraid. The Chinese Navy might be able to restore the ranks of unity. He suddenly thought of a common problem in the sales of Shanghai Army in modern history and said, "Xiu Shuai, you have to be prepared. What if there are several battleships at the same time? What if they sell them in packages? What should we do if they bundle good ships and old warships to us? There are many such things in powers."
This matter is not only done a lot during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but also reform and opening up in the later generations until the new century. Foreigners also did a lot, bundled up products and garbage and kidnapped users. Wang Maoru knew that although the British were ragged goods at this time, they were still advanced equipment in China, so he could only say helplessly: "As long as it is not too old, the navy is a money-burning army. When our economic capabilities are not that strong, rashly expanding the navy will not only be dragged down, but also provoke the hostility of the powerful Japanese navy."
Chen Honglie nodded and said in his heart: "Okay, I remember."
Wang Maoru said again: "The third point I want to say is to continue the second point, don't arouse the disgust of the Japanese government. This is also what I am most worried about. I really want to buy the most advanced battleship in the world. Unfortunately, Japan will never allow such battleships in China. Therefore, the standard for purchasing battleships this time is to be able to defeat the Southern National Navy and the Second Fleet of the Beiyang Navy in the domestic naval battle, not targeting Japan. At the same time, we do not have so many sailors and captains to serve, so the standards for the ships you purchase this time are much more complicated."
"Don't worry, Xiushuai, my subordinates guarantee to complete the task." Chen Honglie asked, "How much money is Xiushuai prepared for... to purchase?"
"With less than one million pounds." Wang Maoru said in pain. There is no way, who made the navy a gold-swalking beast?
After seeing him off, Wang Maoru received a special application from the Officer's Office. Wu Qiuyue, an officer of the Gendarmerie Command, requested to go to Russia to join the war. This time the army entering Russia's territory was not allowed to accompany women. Only male officers were with the army, while women were all staying in the country. However, Wu Qiuyue was quite special. She was from the Gendarmerie. The military commander Xi Kangyong, who was responsible for supervising and supervising war and executing deserters. They were the supervising teams on the battlefield.
Wu Qiuyue asked for a fight, but Xi Kangyong naturally refused. Wu Qiuyue ran to Xi Kangyong's office, with a row of tables, and said angrily: "Why don't you let me go? Which rule says you won't let me go?"
Xi Kangyong was also very angry and said angrily: "The rule of interfering with the army this time is that women cannot follow the army. Didn't you see it?"
"That refers to the female soldier who is not a combat mission, and the Propaganda Department. Am I a literary person?" Wu Qiuyue said.
"Where does it refer to non-combat missions? What I see is that all female soldiers, as long as they are women, cannot go to the front line." Xi Kangyong didn't care about Wu Qiuyue's backstage at all, and said angrily: "Don't tell me that if you want to go to Russia, there is no way to go to me!"
"The same goes for me to find someone else! I won't ask you for help!"
"Who do you like to look for whom!" Xi Kangyong said.
Wu Qiuyue was so angry that she returned to her office and was still in a state of trouble. Seeing Li Erya covering up, she said angrily: "Get over here, what are you doing? If you have something to say, you can say nothing, I'm not upset today!"
Li Erya said nervously: "Sister, I, I am going to marry He Ping."
"Hmm?" Wu Qiuyue raised her and saw Li Erya with a flushed face and asked, "When will I get married?"
"He Ping is going to the front line. He will get married in these few days and bridal chambers in these few days." Li Erya said with a blushing face.
"It's good, it's good." Wu Qiuyue was a little stunned.
"Sister, I have been an orphan since I was a child, beggar Huazi. If I hadn't met you and rescued me from the kiln and raised me carefully, I would probably not have lived now. You are my sister, but in my heart is like my mother, so I want you to make the decision for me." Li Erya said.
Wu Qiuyue sighed in her heart, but smiled and said, "Okay, this is naturally good. I am your sister, so I will make the decision for you."
Li Erya felt that she looked unexpected and forced a laugh, so she went down and walked out of the military police headquarters to go to the General Staff to find He Ping. The two little lovers walked into the park, and He Ping asked what he said. Li Erya said that Sister Qiuyue had agreed to make decisions for her. He Ping was very happy and then said, "Eya, I think you can retire when you get married, okay? Be a civil servant in the government, don't be in the army, or go to school, and be a primary school teacher, right?"
Li Erya shook her head and said, "If I weren't by Sister Qiuyue, who would be with her? Sister Qiuyue would be too miserable." She said, "You think, do we Xiushuai like Sister Qiuyue?"
He Ping said: "I am just a little adviser, but I don't know so many."
"Aren't you Xiushuai's confidant?" Li Erya said.
He Ping smiled bitterly and said, "No, no, no, I am not Xiushuai's confidant, I am just a little adviser. I also serve in the Staff Office because I have a good memory and it is a bit similar to a skill that never forgets me. Otherwise, what can I do with my qualifications in the Staff Office? But, I think our Grand Marshal has this meaning to Sister Qiuyue, otherwise anyone would dare to contradict Sister Qiuyue's temper, so why is there nothing wrong with me?"
Li Erya said depressedly: "Then look, why doesn't Xiushuai marry Sister Qiuyue? He has four wives. What are you afraid of if you have one more sister Qiuyue?"
He Ping slapped his face and said, "It is because of four wives that Xiushuai cannot marry. You don't know the four wives, which one is a good person? The eldest lady, the Mongolian princess, the second lady, the third lady and Xiushuai have been there for so many years? Moreover, the second lady is in power in the General Shangwu's mansion, and the fourth lady is a Japanese aristocrat. By the way, only the third lady is better. Sister Qiuyue has a straight temper. If I marry her, I can imagine that she will definitely quarrel every day."
Li Erya suddenly pinched He Ping and said, "You men, isn't it better to have a wife?"
He Ping screamed and said, "How did you murder your husband? You are the only one, and I can't care about others. It hurts and hurts! Let go!"
On this side, Wu Qiuyue found He Anding, the commander of the military police, and He Anding did not raise his head and said, "Don't look for me in this matter. We must not fail to abide by Xiushuai's rules. If you want to find Xiushuai directly, you can follow the army." Wu Qiuyue left angrily, how could she go to find Wang Maoru? After Wu Qiuyue left, He Anding raised his head, smiled slightly, sighed, and thought about it and called Wang Maoru. When he learned that he was holding a preparatory meeting and was free in the evening, he put down the phone and said to himself: "Wu Qiuyue, Xiushuai's Sixth Mrs., this woman is a troublesome in the army. It seems that she is not suitable for being in the military."...)
