After the four Shandong-class battleships (Shandong, Shanxi, Fujian, Yunnan) were passed at Yue Peng's suggestion, the Republic of China officially transitioned from the period of peaceful development to the period of arms. While ecstatic, the Navy also knew that the people were in need of a big deal this time, so it actively reduced its expenditures. It also contacted Germany to use the 330mm naval gun drawings and a triple sample gun. The 12 ships have been sealed but have better technology than the current German technology, and they are sold. As for how they get them back, they can't control it.

At the same time, the Navy immediately reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia and Siam to sell 24 torpedo gunboats, and also allowed the North Korean Defense Force to buy 8 retired Paulding-class destroyers and 200 white-shouldered carvings. Poor Jin Jiu had just collected the sailors of 8 destroyers, so there was no money to train hundreds of pilots. In the end, Chen Shaokuan saw that he could not afford expensive training costs, so he simply found several retired naval pilots to recover funds and gave away 12 retired sparrow trainers for free, which solved the training problem of North Korean pilots.

Of course, this money is not enough for a main gun. So the Navy used its brains to discuss with the Ministry of Finance, and approved by the Congress to issue naval public bonds in West Borneo and Nanyang Chinese circles for the first time. At first, everyone thought it would not have much effect, but they did not expect that after publicity, the Navy actually raised 400 million yuan in public bonds in one go, which was equivalent to the cost of a Shandong-class ship. This also shows that overseas Chinese are far more concerned about the navy than the army and the air force. After all, in their eyes, the stronger the navy, the more their interests can be guaranteed. In order to build the relationship between the Shanghai army, many big bosses bought for millions of millions of dollars during the raising. The richest man in Nanyang, Gu Weijun's father-in-law and Singapore Hu Wenhu brothers, etc., even joined hands to buy tens of millions of dollars, creating the largest amount of national government bonds for overseas Chinese.

In the end, the Navy also had the idea of ​​two damaged Anhai-class ships. He wanted to sell the two ships, but since he could not find the buyer for a while, he had to give up temporarily.

"These are sluts!" Yang Qiu laughed and cursed when he heard this, and wiped out most of the regrets left by Qin Jian's death. Seeing that he had a rare smile, Yue Peng continued: "Each ship's cost budget is 400 million. Two ships will start construction in Jiangnan and Mawei at the beginning of next year. The next two ships will be empty for the Qinzhou and Zhanjiang ships at the end of the year. I asked Chen Shaokuan, such a large battleship will have to wait for the first two to be delivered at the beginning of 40 years. The latter two ships will not be able to be delivered according to the progress. In this way, the full construction period will be exactly six years, and the pressure of more than 200 million per year is not very large. The Soviet Union's military budget last year and this year exceeded 4 billion US dollars, Germany's various military budgets this year have exceeded 1 billion US dollars, and Japan has also exceeded 500 million US dollars. Adding the previous five-year 9 billion and the four battleships this time, the average annual rate is about 3.6 billion, which is about 1.8 billion US dollars."

"Just pamper them." Yang Qiu glared. He stopped talking about the battleship and asked, "Since it has begun, what are your plans for the next step?"

Yue Peng said: "Stalin has awarded Tukhachevsky and others the rank of marshal. According to my opinion, this is a deliberate act of calming the hearts of the army. It is definitely not far from the date of the action. I estimate that he will clean the army on a large scale by next summer. I have told Zhang Zhidan that as long as the internal cleaning of the Soviet army goes deeper, Afghan guerrillas will be mobilized to regain Kabul. As long as Kabul is regained and established a central government, Britain and France will definitely want to block the support of the Soviet Union. At that time, Stalin will feel that we have begun to jointly suppress him, and the probability of heavy troops going south will increase. Seeing that we were dragged in the northwest and Afghanistan, Japan will definitely not miss the opportunity. Nagata Tetsushan is waiting for Sukarno to make trouble now. As long as he takes action, the fire will be burned.

After Japan goes south, it will definitely be incompatible with Britain and France. My suggestion is not to get involved in the war, first take advantage of France's opportunity to worry about Vietnam, strive to reach a bilateral cooperation agreement with them, and then warn Japan not to touch West Borneo and Sumatra, and we can ignore it in other places for the time being, giving Britain a headache."

Yang Qiu nodded and continued to ask: "Where is Germany?"

"Hakan and Falkenhausen came here to negotiate an alliance. They also came up with an anti-GC agreement to ask us if we signed it. I still think this matter is unreliable. Hitler is indeed asking to destroy Stalin every day, but the trade between the two countries has increased several times compared with previous years. Moreover, his current strength cannot beat the Soviet Union, and it will take at least three or four years to prepare. Ziqing and I discussed with us to let Shi Zhaoji be the leader of the Olympic team to meet Hitler in the occasion of next year's Olympics to see if we can convince him to attack the Soviet Union first. If so, it is still worth a bet. If not, we should simply strengthen our relations with France first, and then look at the attitude of Britain and the United States."

"Zi'an, Germany will fight France first, and Britain and Germany will definitely go to war. In that case, they will definitely join hands with the Soviet Union to restrain Germany, and our role will become dispensable. What do you think should I do?" Yang Qiu finally said what he had kept in his heart for several years.

Strangely, Yue Peng did not have any worries, but laughed: "That's not easy to deal with. Join Britain and the United States with ease. Unless they want us to join Germany, they can only agree. As long as the United States set off, they will clean up Japan before the United States set off, grab Guinea and Rabaul, and then send the troops to Japan, the United States' routes to Northeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific will be cut off most of the United States! In the next few years, we just need the Persian Gulf. In this way, when we find a reason after the war, we can clean up the Soviet Union, which was severely damaged! I don't believe it, will Britain and the United States still need the Soviet Union after destroying Germany? Besides, even if they need it, as long as they can fight for three or four years this time, I don't believe how much strength there is to fight with us! I'm afraid that the colonial independence movement around the world can restrain most of Britain and France's power."

Yue Peng's words made Yang Qiu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that he had really fallen into a misunderstanding. Using the world war to solve border problems and realize industrialization is definitely the best choice, but if you cannot borrow the power, it may not be the end of the world. Some things are irreconcilable, even if Britain and the United States need the Soviet Union for a short time, so what? After the Soviet Union took advantage of the opportunity to defeat Germany to sweep Eastern Europe, it will inevitably cause panic in the West. Since the Korean War could have occurred after World War II in history, I am still afraid that I can't solve these problems? As long as I find a way to make Kazakhstan independent and promote a referendum on the frozen soil in East and West Siberia, the border issue will no longer be a problem.

Keep the first island chain, grab the second island chain as much as possible, ensure the interests of the Persian Gulf oil, and divide India, then the entire strategic situation is still under your control. Moreover, with the advancement of industry, materials and technology, the value of your own drawings has become increasingly greater. Taking advantage of the wartime system of the World War and the opportunity to spend unlimited military spending on technology may not be impossible to achieve comprehensive generation gap in a few years.

After figuring this out, the worries that had been pressing on his heart for a long time completely dissipated, and his face suddenly became much more relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Wang Zhengting and the others have probably waited for a long time. Xiao He, hurry up, the military has begun, and you have to get a few tickets to subsidize."

"Ha ha......."

Amid laughter, the highly anticipated Shanghai World Expo officially opened. Since the first day of visiting were officials of the Republic of China government, foreign industrial and economic delegations and ambassadors, the Expo Organizing Committee specially arranged for the first three days to be open to special people only. Since it was the first industrial event held in Asia, and countries around the world believed that China's rise was only a matter of time, it attracted a large number of official representatives to take the opportunity to examine China's industrial capabilities, so the organizing committee had to arrange nearly 100 convertible electric vehicles for transportation.

"Mr. President, Madam, I'm very happy to meet the two." As soon as he attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Yang Qiu was blocked by Hakan and Falkenhausen. It seems that these two have not given up convincing the Republic of China to form an alliance.

The actions of the two were immediately taken into consideration by diplomats from various countries. France was more worried because China was on the edge of French East India. Britain and the United States didn't care much, but the Soviet Union and Japanese ambassadors were furious. When Yue Peng visited Germany last year, China and Germany showed a situation of dealing with the Soviet Union together. Now they are so enthusiastic. Has it reached a secret agreement? Japan is also very uncomfortable. Since China's rise, it knows that land forces will be difficult to defeat the Republic of China. Japan's strategy has changed to going south first, snatching resources and then growing stronger, and then attacking China with the Soviet Union. But if China and Germany work together to defeat the Soviet Union, Japan will only have the only way to defect to the United States.

"Amistantor, what are you looking at? Let's go to the aviation hall first." Yuuyukijiro, who has a knife-shaped face, didn't care what the Japanese ambassador Akiyoshi was looking at. He came this time because he learned that China would showcase the latest aviation technology at this World Expo, so he specially used his relationship to get a diplomat to visit.

Japan attaches great importance to the Shanghai World Expo and hopes to understand the competitor's industrial capabilities through this exhibition. Therefore, not only sent a delegation of governments in the big land, but also many people from the people were coming. But seeing Yang Qiu and the German delegation smiling, Ji Ming was really unconscious and waved his hand: "June Jiuyue, you can visit with you first, I have something to do." After that, he took his wife to Yang Qiu.

Perhaps everyone was tempted, and soon the ambassadors of various countries, including Jensen, left the delegation and came to Yang Qiu and his wife, forming an alternative "presidential visiting group". Seeing this, Falkenhausen knew that it was not good to say more today, so he simply invited Yang Qiu to visit Germany: "Mr. President, the Head of State has always hoped that you can go to Berlin again, and he will welcome you with the grandest party."

"Thank you Mr. Hitler for your invitation. I also hope he can come to the East to see." Yang Qiu did not talk to the other party. When he saw that Jansen and others came over, he waved his hand with a smile: "Let's visit together."

As soon as I entered the China Exhibition Hall, two rows of girls wearing professional attire and short skirts, carefully selected girls with long legs that made the ambassadors' eyes lit up. The reporters around me didn't pay much attention at first. After all, there were many such concierge ladies in Europe and the United States, but after a moment, I found a difference.

"What are they wearing on their legs?"
