"" The financial crisis is getting worse and worse, and it has even affected Japan.
The British no longer have time to care about the Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty that has long existed in name only. What they must now face is the increasing unemployment rate in their own country and more and more corporate bankruptcies. Rather than an Asian one
small country.
Once the people of this country rise up to oppose, the situation will be difficult to deal with. At this point, the British government is relatively clear-headed.
What makes Japan feel most awkward is not the British attitude, but that since the end of the war in Northeast China, Taiwan, and Gao Bang, the Chinese people no longer seem to notice Japan's existence at all.
In fact, the Chinese may have forgotten that there is a country like Japan in the world. In the past few years, the Japanese government continued to protest, protest, protest again, condemn, condemn, and condemn again. Unfortunately, the Chinese government did not respond at first,
But later on, he adopted an attitude of refusing to pay attention at all.
They concentrate on restoring the people's livelihood in Taiwan and Northeast China, on governing the country, and on developing the domestic economy to improve people's livelihood. Apart from that, at least on the surface, they have no interest in Japan.
This is the most embarrassing thing for the Japanese government.
Fighting also requires an opponent. But now this opponent does not regard you as an opponent at all. What should you do in this situation?
The Great Kanto Earthquake had a huge impact on Japan. Not only was it a terrible death of people, but more than half of two elite divisions were lost, and a large number of ships were sunk. The double blow, both military and economic, left the Japanese government unable to breathe.
.
At the critical moment, the Chinese government started military operations to regain lost territory, which made Japan even worse. This military operation caused Japan to lose its three most important overseas colonies.
In addition, the most devastating thing for the Japanese, especially the Japanese Navy, was the explosion and sinking of the "super battleship". These two super battleships, which cost Japan countless energy, money and efforts, were just gone.
All the investment sank to the cold seabed,
Everything...has to be started all over again,
The Japanese government began to mobilize its people, tighten its belt, and work hard for the empire to rise again! They continued to publicize that before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898... Japan also had a huge economic and military gap with China, but the Japanese were also catching up.
And used a war to determine the relationship between China and Japan!
And now, everything can be done again!
But the Japanese government did not tell its people one thing: China today is not the China of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the current Chinese government is no longer the government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Any slight move by China now is enough to cause serious tension in the Japanese government.
In March 1928, China announced that the "Emperor"-class super battleship "Emperor" had completed its launch trials...and was incorporated into the Chinese Navy's First Fleet in the same year; in June, China announced its second super battleship "Chi You"
Completed sea trial.
The commissioning of these two super battleships instantly made the Japanese Navy feel that the end was coming.
Only when acting is 70% true and 30% false can your "audience" be drawn into the drama.
In the previous series of plans, Wang Hengyue did not want to build a so-called super battleship. All the so-called construction plans were just acting.
But with the arrival of the Great Kanto Earthquake and the rapid development of China's economy, Wang Hengyue felt that the opera was more realistic: building a real super battleship... to show it to the Japanese, forcing Japan, which was already in a very difficult situation, to continue fighting with China.
Vicious competition!
The Japanese economy, which is already in a mess, is getting worse again! Let them build so-called super battleships again even if their financial resources do not allow it!
As a result, this prompted the birth of the "Emperor" and the "Chi You"!
This cost Wang Hengyue a lot of money, but Wang Hengyue, who had huge financial support, didn't care too much. How many ships can be built with the huge profits obtained in the United States? Wang Hengyue has not calculated how many ships can be built with Kolchak's gold.
?Wang Hengyue also didn’t do any special calculations!
He only confirmed one thing, that he could defeat several Japanese governments just by relying on his own financial resources.
Most generals of the Chinese navy do not know the president's overall plan, nor do they know why the president suddenly announced the construction of a super battleship.
But when the "Emperor" and "Chi You", the two largest super battleships in the world, came out, the entire Chinese Navy was shocked!
They excitedly cheered that their navy finally had the ultimate weapon that could compete with any European and American battleship... and cheered that they finally had a battleship huge enough to demonstrate China's military might!
On the day when the "Emperor" was launched for trial sea trials, many senior naval officers even burst into tears, and those were tears of excitement.
Wang Hengyue was not happy at all. He sighed and said to his navy commander Chen Shaokuan: "My large sum of money is just gone. How many armies can this arm me with? If this were acting, I'm afraid the whole world would
Is this the biggest investment in a drama?"
Chen Shaokuan couldn't help but laugh. Wang Hengyue shook his head repeatedly: "It would be unreasonable for the Japanese not to be fooled again. The 'Emperor' and 'Chi You' may look majestic, but how effective will it be in future naval battles?"
It’s hard to say exactly how effective it is now. I hope I don’t become a target, so I’m thankful..."
The "living target" remarks made Chen Shaokuan a little curious.
Although the development of the Chinese Navy focuses on aircraft carrier formations and submarines, such a huge super battleship is enough to produce sufficient deterrence to countries around the world.
The deterrent force against Japan has been created!
The advent of the "Emperor" and the "Chiyu" caused a lamentation throughout the Japanese navy. The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Eisuke, made a sad cry: "The empire's navy has once again been widened by China..."
Calls from all over the navy to restart the construction of super battleships have once again taken over the mainstream.
The vast majority of people in the navy agree with this view, and the only one who opposes it is probably Rear Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the technical director of the Japanese Navy, who has just returned from the position of military attache of the United States Navy.
He believes that aircraft carriers will be the mainstream of future naval battles, and naval aviation will be the decisive factor in determining the success of future naval battles.
He did not think that the empire's construction of super battleships would play a big role in future decisive battles at sea.
In December 1924, Isoroku Yamamoto took up the post of instructor and deputy commander of the Kasumigaura Air Force of the Japanese Navy. He focused on the construction of naval aviation that was not within the scope of the reduction in the Washington Naval Treaty, and changed his major from gunnery to aviation. Isoroku Yamamoto
When he was transferred to the Kasumigaura Air Force as deputy captain, the pilots here were in disgrace and their discipline was lax. He was determined to rectify it. However, these lax pilots initially looked down on this unattractive lay officer. Yamamoto Isoroku, who was 40 years old,
In addition to strictly requiring his subordinates to perform their duties, he also took the initiative to receive several hours of flight training every day. Before long, his flying skills surpassed those of many young students and reached the level of a solo flight trainer. He used his own will and talent to
, established prestige among pilots. Under the organization and command of Yamamoto Isoroku, the training and military discipline of Kasumigaura Air Force took on a new look. When Yamamoto Isoroku was transferred to the United States, the team members were very sorry.
When the Yomaru was sailing, a squadron of aircraft appeared over the ship, and the pilots swooped over to say goodbye to their respected superior.
In 1925, Isoroku Yamamoto served as the naval attache of the Japanese Embassy in the United States. In 1928, Isoroku Yamamoto returned from the United States and served as captain on the cruiser "Isuzu" and the aircraft carrier "Akagi". He was an out-and-out man.
The buckled fleet faction.
He believes that at the current stage of the Imperial Navy and the actual situation in Japan... the most important thing is to vigorously develop naval aviation.
He once said this: "The war with the China Navy must be carried out with an airborne surprise attack from the beginning to achieve victory!"
Unfortunately, his official position is not high, and there are basically no people willing to listen to him.
Therefore, under the strong request of the Navy, the strong opposition of the Army, and amid Yamamoto Isoroku's concerns, Japan's super battleship manufacturing plan was launched again.
Japan has secretly planned to build two to four super battleships that are equal to or even larger than the Chinese "Emperor" class within five to six years to compete with China at sea.
Since we already had previous experience in building super battleships, despite heavy losses in earthquakes and explosions, most of the data and technical personnel were preserved, so there were no major problems with the construction technology.
The only question is where will the money come from?
What about money? Where can I get money? And where can I get the steel and other materials necessary to build warships? It is impossible for warships to appear on the sea out of thin air.
The Japanese government has almost no money.
The city needs to be rebuilt, the navy needs to expand, and the army has to update its equipment and rearm. Money is needed everywhere, but what the Japanese government lacks most right now is money!
The Army's objections also had to be carefully considered.
How much of the army can be armed with the funds to build super battleships? This must take into account the feelings of the army.
A difficult problem is placed before the Japanese government. Money cannot fall from the sky. Europe and the United States are in financial crisis, and it is impossible to get money from them. So now there is only one target, and that is the Japanese people.
As long as you try your best, you can always get money from the people!
The Japanese government finally decided to take action against its own people!!.
