In Japan's army-building strategy, the navy has always been their top priority. While Japan is strengthening its army construction, the navy has also introduced a new shipbuilding plan.
The Japanese Navy in World War II had two very obvious characteristics. First, until December 1941 (the attack on Pearl Harbor), the Japanese Navy had been in the process of "expansion", constantly adding new ships, and constantly adding new ships.
fleet; secondly, the main forces of the Japanese navy are organized into the so-called combined fleet.
In the original history, the Combined Fleet before December 1941 had 9 fleets, namely fleets numbered 1-6, 1st Air Fleet, 11th Air Fleet, and Southern Dispatch Fleet. The total number of aircraft carriers it owned was 10. The entire
During World War II, the Japanese Navy had a total of 25 aircraft carriers.
In the new shipbuilding plan, construction of 4 ships (two of which were light aircraft carriers and two of which were heavy aircraft carriers of the same displacement as the Akagi) started in 1938. However, the newly built aircraft carrier was not the old Akagi built in 1920.
Instead, a new aircraft carrier of the latest design was adopted), and construction of 6 ships was started in 1939 and 1940 respectively.
If this shipbuilding plan is completed, Japan will have more than 24 aircraft carriers by the end of 1941, which is twice as many aircraft carriers as the Japanese Navy when the Pacific War broke out in history.
Among Japan's military expansion plans, the most outstanding thing is the expansion of the air force. Japan has two large-scale battles with the National Defense Forces, both of which suffered disastrous defeats. The most important thing is that the Chinese National Defense Forces Air Force has achieved air supremacy. China's combat aircraft are more advanced than Japanese aircraft.
. Therefore, the Japanese base camp learned from the experience and not only accelerated the development and production of Japan's most famous "Zero carrier-based fighter" in World War II, but also accelerated the development of bombers, attack aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.
Because a National Defense Force fighter plane was once salvaged from the sea in Tanggu, Tianjin, Japan's fighter planes themselves are better than those at the same time in history. With the proficiency of this "stealing" and the complete mastery of Chinese fighter technology, the Zero in parallel time and space
Fighters will be even better.

Sometimes, Wu Aihua also laments that he is indeed a lucky person. For example, as a time traveler, everyone will pay attention to the information about Japan. However, no time traveler can easily obtain major countries in the world like Wu Aihua.
The only thing Wu Aihua did for intelligence work was to send 12 assistants to the intelligent robot Hao Yong around January 1935. Among these 12 people, Zhang Guanglu had already returned to the National Defense Forces Headquarters
Worked.
Even if you pay little or no effort, you will still gain something. This can be regarded as the welfare of time travellers.
Although the time traveler Wu Aihua knows that Japan is China's life-and-death enemy, his attitude towards Japan has always been a condescending and contemptuous mentality; towards other countries in the world, such as Britain and France, Wu Aihua is dismissive; towards Germany
, Wu Aihua mainly has a mentality of admiration. This not-so-big nation has indeed done something earth-shattering. In fact, if it were not for the morbid condition of the mustache, Germany could even succeed.
The only ones that Wu Aihua really valued and regarded as rivals and formidable enemies were the United States and Soviet Russia.
The United States, with its strong industrial production capacity and war potential, cannot be underestimated. In fact, whether it is World War I or World War II, as soon as the United States joins, the balance of victory and defeat will change. Just talk about World War II, if
Without the participation of the United States, Britain, France, and Russia might not be Germany's opponents at all.
The Soviet Union was even more of a terrifying war machine. During World War II, no matter how much sacrifice they made in a battle, the Russians were able to hold on to the front and finally waited for the day of counterattack.
Therefore, if there is an opportunity to weaken the United States or Soviet Russia, Wu Aihua will never give up. Even if this opportunity is of little significance to China, Wu Aihua will do it. Because, in his view, as long as Soviet Russia can
, the harm to the interests of the United States is the happiest thing in my heart.
This is the case with the Maimaiyi "Meihua Group", and the same is true with the "M Plan" in the mountains of Longyan. However, these actions and plans are mainly aimed at the great powers. For Soviet Russia, a country where oil and salt cannot enter, Wu Aihua
There is really no good way. Perhaps, the only way is to go to war with it directly.
However, there are always opportunities.
When Wu Aihua's eyes stayed on the map of Europe for a long time, he noticed a local war called the "Winter War" in the early days of World War II. From November 1939 to March 1940, the Soviet Union and Finland fought on the Soviet-Finnish border in Northern Europe.
A war fought in the region was originally called the "Winter War" or the "Soviet-Finnish War".
In this war, the Soviet Union finally won the victory, but it was a "tragic victory". If it were not for the fact that Finland is a small country with a population of only 4.4 million, in the end the war was almost "exhausted of soldiers, ammunition and food", and it had to return to
On the negotiation table, a piece of territory was ceded to the Soviet Union. The winner of this war should actually be Finland.
Russia and Finland have always had territorial disputes, which was one of the reasons for the outbreak of the war, but the deepest reason was Soviet Russia's greed for territory. For a bad wolf, there is no need for a reason to eat people.
After Germany annexed Austria in April 1938, the Soviet Union repeatedly approached Finland for negotiations on the pretext of maintaining the security of its northwest border and Leningrad, demanding the exchange of territory and the lease of military bases with Finland. The negotiations completely broke down on November 9, 1939.
.
As a result, the Soviet Union's 300,000-strong army, more than 1,000 tanks, and more than 800 aircraft began to rush towards Finnish territory; Finland had only 32,000 soldiers before. Seeing the possible aggression of Soviet Russia, Finland also adopted emergency conscription.
The force expanded to 127,000 people.
However, this war, which looked like a big man bullying a child, did not go as Soviet Russia initially expected. Instead, Finland annihilated 4 Soviet Russian Red Army divisions at the beginning of the war. Therefore, Soviet Russia had to temporarily stop
, redeploy.
When Wu Aihua noticed the Soviet-Finnish War, it was already June 1939, when Soviet Russia and Japan were fighting in the Nomonhan area. However, the computer Wu Aihua brought back to the Republic of China contained a lot of information about World War II, but alone
The lack of information on the Soviet-Finnish war left Wu Aihua at a loss.
"Boss, isn't Finland just a weak country?" Shen Ren reminded him when he saw Wu Aihua's predicament.
"Damn it, we've reached a dead end." Wu Aihua said somewhat self-deprecatingly. To intervene in the Soviet-Finnish war, the easiest way is to support Finland. And what Finland needs most, the answer is self-evident: weapons and equipment!
In August 1939, a luxury cruise ship "Blue Star" sailed into the port of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. August is the golden tourist season in Northern Europe, and many people come here to travel.
However, the arrival of this cruise ship gave the Finnish government some joy, because among the guests on the cruise ship was a well-known American businessman, Ecole Mike. This American named Mike became a businessman in just a few years.
He is one of the most famous rich men in the world. He is famous not because his wealth ranks among the top in the world, but because he only engages in two businesses, one is the acquisition of precious metals, and the other is arms sales.
Facing the powerful Soviet and Russian tanks, Finland was lacking in arms. In Finland, there were only more than 100 anti-tank guns, ammunition for the entire army was only enough for 2 months, and the total number of aircraft in the country was only 115, including 30 bombers and 56 fighter jets.
aircraft, 59 reconnaissance aircraft.
Therefore, the arrival of Ecol Mack is tantamount to the coming of God to the Finns. However, Ecol Mack's business is not that easy. According to rumors, his arms are only sold to those "
"It is a country or force that is pleasing to the eye," but not a country or force that is not pleasing to the eye, even if you want to buy a bullet from him.
Is Finland a country he "favours"? Regardless of success or failure, the Finns decided to give it a try.
In a five-star hotel near the National Gallery of Finland, two uninvited guests came to visit Ikol Michael.
"Mr. Mike, welcome to the beautiful Helsinki." Two officials from the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said after introducing their identities.
"Do you have anything to do with me? I'm just here for a trip. As you two said, Helsinki is very beautiful." Echol Mike said somewhat reservedly.
"We hope to buy some weapons and equipment from you." The Finns said bluntly.
"Armed equipment? Is Finland going to war?" Ecole Mike asked deliberately. In fact, this Ecole Mike is an employee of the American China Group. This guy turned out to be a small arms dealer in Los Angeles, because arms
He was sentenced to three years in prison for smuggling, and was later released on bail by Maimaiyi through connections, and became an employee of the Meihua Group. Therefore, this guy's history of prosperity only lasted four short years.
"Finland is an independent country and needs more weapons and equipment to defend its people." A diplomat said.
"Okay. I like this reason. However, you need to tell me what equipment you need, how much it is, and what you are prepared to pay. Because I have to report to the boss whether the equipment will be sold to you and at what price.
." Ecole Mike said.
In fact, before Ekel Mike came to Finland, he had already received instructions from Maimaiyi and must complete the deal. However, Wu Aihua's idea was not just to sell arms to Finland and let it teach him a lesson.
Soviet Russia; Wu Aihua also set his sights on the Kola Peninsula at the junction of northern Finland and Soviet Russia.
Now and in the future, the Kola Peninsula, which covers an area of 100,000 square kilometers, belongs to the territory of Soviet Russia. However, Wu Aihua believes that in World War II in parallel time and space, Soviet Russia will not be destroyed.
The fate of the weakened division cannot be changed.
Most of this land is located on the Kola Peninsula within the Arctic Circle. It was the most important naval base and nuclear industry base of Soviet Russia in later generations. Its important city of Murmansk is the most important ice-free port on the Arctic Ocean coast.
If China can acquire the Kola Peninsula and gain the independence of Belarus in the future, it will almost be able to return Soviet Russia to its original form as the Principality of Moscow.
ps: Something happened yesterday and I missed a chapter. I wanted to apologize tonight, but the system required 3,000 words. I was depressed. I will try to make up for it today.
