  Chapter 865 Another approach to the aviation base

   in the Far East

   Although the tragic war between Japan and Russia ended, the security situation facing the Fuso country is much more severe than in the original history.

   Now the Tsarist Russia Pacific Navy has not been wiped out, and is hiding in the port of Vladivostok, licking the wounds on his body, and slowly recovering his strength.

The blood feud accumulated between Japan and Russia, coupled with the unwillingness of Tsar Nicholas II, seems to herald the possibility of a second Russo-Japanese war. For a tough opponent like Tsarist Russia, it will not be easy to deal with it all at once. If it is killed, there will be endless troubles.

   Such a neighbor is always spying here, no wonder Fusang can't sleep at night.

  The Fuso Kingdom won the Russo-Japanese War, but it did not get the huge war reparations as it had hoped, and it was burdened with a heavy economic burden. Judging from the current situation, if you want to repay the huge debt owed during the war, you don't have to think about it for more than ten years.

   During this time

  The country of Fusang is generally in the time of a sage, recuperating and recovering its strength, not going to pick things up, restraining its greedy minions, and it may be much more stable in the three northeastern provinces.

During the most difficult days of the First World War, the United Kingdom repeatedly requested Fusang to fulfill its ally duties and send troops to Europe to participate in the war to relieve the heavy pressure faced by Britain, France and other countries on the Western Front, but they were politely rejected by Fuso. .

  This is meaningful, and it is interesting to savor it carefully.

In the heart of Fusang, which has gradually become stronger, it can be said that it has very complicated feelings for the United Kingdom and the United States. It is not only grateful to them for their full support of the war against Russia, but also resents that the huge debt accumulated for this has almost crushed the entire country’s economy. The money that should be paid is a penny can not be less.

   This kind of ruthlessness almost broke the glass heart of the Fuso people.

   The First World War that broke out not long after, from the point of view of the Fusang people, was a dog-eat-dog dispute. Naturally, they were happy to watch the fire from the other side. They were not stupid. If their head was kicked by a donkey, they would take chestnuts from the fire for the British.

  The strength is strong, and there is enough confidence to say "no".

  Li Fushou stood up and walked around the house with his hands behind his back, thinking about the next application scenario of the powerful armored corps...

   Hmm... It is possible that after the revolution broke out in Soviet Russia at the end of World War I, troops were sent to intervene in Russia.

   From a strategic perspective

In the process of the rise of the United States and Russia, which are vast in land and resources, into world-class new forces, due to the interference of the rising oceanic empire, Citigroup's influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia is far less than the same period in history, and the region has gradually been included in the economic circle of the oceanic empire. Influence matters.

   However, as the world's largest economy and a developed capitalist industrial country, the process of Citi's rise may be affected a little, and it may be deprived of some luck in the future, but the general trend is irreversible.

  Czarist Russia is different. There are many unpredictable futures in his future, and he may be disturbed and take a fork in history, unable to repeat the glory and glory of the original history.

   This possibility not only exists, but is very large.

   in Li Fushou's subconscious;

   has always wanted to intervene in the internal situation of Tsarist Russia at the end of the First World War, trying to lead the Fusang Kingdom into the road of continuous long-term confrontation with Tsarist Russia, slowing down its damage to the land of China, and embarking on a different historical path.

   If it can be successful, it will be countless merits for living people.

   Therefore, after the successful development of the Cheetah Tank, he personally arranged for relevant oil companies to overcome the problems of special lubricants and fuel oil in the alpine zone, and sent the Cheetah Tank to Antarctica for experiments at minus 30 degrees Celsius to obtain first-hand data.

  Li Fushou himself had no interest in acquiring territory in the Far East of Tsarist Russia. That place was really icy and snowy, inaccessible and unsuitable for human survival.

   Although he was picky and disliked, he knew that the little devil had a strong interest in the Far East region of Tsarist Russia.

  In the original history

Led by the United Kingdom, they organized a mighty force known as the 14-country Intervention Army to carry out armed intervention against the new Soviet-Vietnamese regime, severely punishing its betrayal of the Covenant, and taking the lead in making peace with Germany. Among them, the Fuso Army was the largest, and a total of 70,000 troops were dispatched. many people.

Fusang dispatched the largest number of troops, and was the first to go. It first landed in Vladivostok Port in 1918. It was the last to evacuate with endless regrets. It did not evacuate until June 1922. It cost up to 900 million yen in military expenses. Out of his inner unwillingness.

   Here, you can make a splendid article.

  Europe and the Far East are places where the formation of armored corps can show their talents. Thinking of this, Li Fushou finally made up his mind to reorganize the armored division.

   Among them, the motorized artillery regiment and infantry regiment of the division can temporarily vacate, and can be directly transferred from the artillery division and the infantry division when needed.

   The two armored divisions mainly completed the preparation and training of the tank regiment. Among them, the medium tank battalion equipped with cheetah tanks already has a considerable foundation and has formed a considerable combat effectiveness.

   It is mainly T2 tank equipment and training, which still needs time to complete.

  According to the current progress of T2 tank equipment research and development, it will take about half a year to improve and further in-depth tests, and then put into small batch trial production.

  It will take 1-2 years for the real mass production. After solving the technical problems of machine tool equipment and super-large single castings, it can be put into mass production.

   In this way, it will take 4~5 years for the two armored divisions to be fully equipped to form a combat force. The time is not rich, and the plan can already be started.

   The next morning

The wheeled iron armored vehicles equipped by the Royal Guards set off early, escorting the long motorcade to the secret base in Qimarang, which is 233 kilometers away. arrived at the destination smoothly.

   Compared to a few years ago

   Qimarang Town has expanded a lot, with a population of nearly 20,000, making it even more lively. The buildings in the valley are scattered and hidden in the green trees, and the environment is elegant and pleasant.

The Qimarang Secret Base is a secret base for the research and development of aircraft and radio communication equipment. It has more than 10 research institutes and related cutting-edge manufacturing enterprises. The radio factory here can produce large, medium and small series of military radio communication equipment, radio rangefinders, Remote control, etc. The engine factory can produce various types of aviation air-cooled engines, all of which are highly confidential units.

   In terms of educational background alone, the average educational level of the population in this town ranks first among the cities and towns in the empire. In other places, a high school degree can already be regarded as an intellectual, but in Qimarang Town, it is only the level of an ordinary worker.

   There is also a large-scale special aluminum product factory in the town, specializing in the production of various strange-shaped and high-demand aluminum products, and making supporting products for aircraft manufacturers. At the same time, it undertakes the scientific and technological research project of aluminum products. The ordinary workers are all outstanding students who graduated from the Young Eagle School, and their technical level is quite high.

  Li Fushou came here to witness an advanced high-speed monoplane, which represents the latest achievement of the Institute of Aeronautics and is at the international advanced level.
