super god warlord

Many bigwigs in the army and high-ranking government officials attended the inauguration ceremony of the Pavilion of Heroes. All of them held a pair of spirit tablets of martyrs in their hands with solemn faces, and respectfully enshrined them in the Pavilion of Heroes.

After all the spiritual seats were settled, Zhao Shouhong gave his first speech after the Battle of the Founding of the Nation under the Monument of Heroes. "My friends, brothers and sisters, I am speaking to you today as the president. After the arduous struggle of the people of the whole country, the Hualan Kingdom has finally regained its unity. We have defeated the warlords who harmed the people, and defeated many foreign forces who attempted to enslave us. , and also accepted many like-minded people who struggled for the prosperity of the Hualan Kingdom. We defeated the Wa Kingdom, the Red Alliance Kingdom, and the Gaul Kingdom's shameless aggression against us, and finally allowed our new country to survive smoothly. Here In this battle, countless passionate young people devoted themselves to the battle and sacrificed their precious lives for the unity and territorial integrity of the country. We commemorate them here today, and build the Monument to Heroes and the Pavilion of Heroes for them, so that our descendants will always remember Live. In the long river of history, there used to be such a group of Hualan people, regardless of skin color, region, or even language barrier, but they all had the same belief and struggled for the prosperity of the Hualan nation. Today they put down The unfinished business is gone, but their heroic spirits will last forever, and those of us who come later should keep in mind the behest of our ancestors, and work hard for the Hualan nation to return to the forest of powerful nations in the world, and for the longevity of the Hualan country."

Zhao Shouhong's speech received a warm response from the people, and later generations will regard this speech as the beginning of Hualan Nation's new take-off, the clarion call for the Hualan nation to return to the top of the world, and the moment when Zhao Shouhong reached the peak of his personal prestige.From that moment on, the Hualan nation was finally united under one goal and worked hard for the revival of the entire ethnic group and the country.The establishment of the state system of New Hualan State has aroused strong patriotic enthusiasm among the people of the whole country, and the work efficiency has continued to improve.

At the subsequent government work conference, Zhao Shouhong consulted with various ministers and finally determined the development direction of the eastern provinces.Both Ningjiang Province and Jiangbei Province are adjacent to Gwanghae Municipality directly under the Central Government, and are affected by the economic radiation of the Guangming Group. The economic development here is also relatively rapid. Therefore, they will be used as supplements to the Gwanghae Economic Zone and the expansion of the radiation zone. However, the two provinces The direction of development is different.

Jiangbei Province has a long coastline and a large port like Lianyungang, which will be developed as a national electronics industry base. Jiangzuo Province is rich in rare earth resources, which can be a strong support for Jiangbei Province's electronics industry.

Zhao Shouhong is well aware of the role of rare earths in the future, as well as the rare earth reserves of Hualan Kingdom.The state controls mining resources and strictly manages the mining of rare earths, which can avoid waste and indiscriminate mining, so that rare earth resources can contribute to the country's development for a long time.In addition, he will rely on the four rich rare earth mines in Liangshan, East Xiongnu, Baiyun Obo, East Guangdong and Jiangzuo provinces to establish four electrical and electronic industry bases to reserve power for the third industrial revolution in the future.

The development of Ningjiang Province is mainly based on the textile industry. This was originally the main production area of ​​Hualan Kingdom's raw silk, but it was almost destroyed because of the acquisition and destruction of the Wa Kingdom and the subsequent impact of nylon products.Later, it almost became a logistics center, specializing in re-exporting the products of Guanghai City to the eastern provinces.But after the unification of Hualan Kingdom, this kind of business will be difficult to do, especially after the construction of railways and roads, the transportation is convenient and there is no need for such a material distribution center, so Zhao Shouhong hopes that they will return to the tradition.

The scope of use of raw silk has been greatly reduced, but there is still a market. In addition, after the Wa Kingdom was controlled by the Hualan Kingdom, it was almost returned to its original shape and gradually transformed into a primitive agricultural area that only produced food crops. The international raw silk market has a huge market. Empty.

In this case, Ningjiang Province, a traditional raw silk production area, can be revived.In addition, Hualan Kingdom's silk weaving technology is the best in the world, and all kinds of jacquard printing and dyeing technologies are unique skills. Zhao Shouhong plans to develop high-end silk industry here, establish a luxury silk industrial park, and earn high value-added profits. .

In addition to silk and raw silk, Ningjiang Province also has a large number of cotton-producing areas, which can eventually develop the cotton textile industry, making the province the largest light industrial textile center in China.

The two provinces of Nanyuan and Central Plains have always had fertile land, and there will be the largest grain production area in the country, supplying the grain needs of more than half of the country.Together with the Beidahuang Black Soil Belt, North Lia Plantation Area, Kokang Plantation Area and Zhongchuan Plantation Area that are being developed, it will provide food security for the country.

Jiangzuo Province relies entirely on its own resources such as tungsten and rare earths, and has established a large number of mines to develop mining and smelting industries.Central South Province relies on Plateau Province to carry out economic crop planting. They mainly plant trees and graft various fruits on pioneer trees. While generating economic benefits, they restore the ecological environment of the core area of ​​the Hualan nation.

Hedong Province is rich in coal resources, which will become the largest coal-producing area in China. Qilu Province is adjacent to the sea, and can take advantage of the advantage of being facing the sea on both sides to focus on the development of the salt industry and shipping industry.Qilu Province is also one of the largest grain provinces in China. It will also develop food, poultry, egg, milk and other farming industries. In addition, there will be industrial support projects such as steel and aluminum to achieve comprehensive and balanced development.

After Fengtian Province joined, the three provinces of Mingbei were unified again, and Zhao Shouhong began to plan to rely on these three provinces to establish a heavy industry base.While utilizing the coal and iron resources in Ma'anshan and other places, it can also use the nearby seaports for foreign trade.At the same time, with the protection of the four counties of Han, he is not afraid of directly facing foreign invasion.

Chapter 170 Invitation to the Navy Meeting

Eastern Guangdong Province was the most affected by the National Congress, and suffered the most trauma from the civil war. At the same time, Zhao Shouhong also recognized the shipping resources there and hoped to invest heavily there.In the future, in addition to establishing a huge electronic and electrical industrial base relying on rare earths, eastern Guangdong Province will also develop an export-oriented economy, mainly in the construction of automobile and pharmaceutical industries.

Kuaiji Province is very close to Eastern Guangdong Province. There are many mountains in the province, which are suitable for tea plantation. The industrial production of tea will be the main focus here. At the same time, as a supplement to Eastern Guangdong Province, it will also develop light industries such as electronics and medicine.Zhili Province, which is dominated by the municipality directly under the Central Government of Beihua City, will not develop any industry. It will become the political center of the country in the future, replacing the previous status of the municipality directly under the Central Government of Shudu.

After deliberation, the development plans of the eastern provinces were decided in this way, and then the disposal of the Wa Kingdom was decided.Under Zhao Shouhong's repeated request, the Wa Kingdom was completely disarmed, and the country only retained the territory of Honshu Island. All domestic industrial systems were relocated to Kyushu Island, the military training system was located in Shikoku Island, and Hokkaido was used as a pure agricultural and fishery development base. , using the famous large fishing grounds there to develop the aquaculture industry.

Of course, the work in these places is carried out by the Hualan people. Except for the Japanese who joined the army and joined the mercenary army, they can participate in military training in Shikoku Island. The entire Honshu Island is not allowed to have any industrial and military systems, and all security is in charge of the Hualan army.

As the highest authority, the Sustainment Council even overrides the Japanese government, making the Emperor a puppet.All scientists, teachers, lawyers, politicians and other high-level talents in Japan were sent out of Honshu Island. Most of the social elites except scientists were secretly executed during the transportation, and the scientists who were unwilling to cooperate would also have the same punishment. end.

Those who are willing to cooperate, including the future famous Zero fighter designer Kokoshi Jiro, the father of the Japanese tank Otomio Hara, firearms expert Nambu Kijiro, physicists Kotaro Honda and Yoshio Nishina, chemist Kikunae Ikeda, etc. Forced to agree to cooperate with the Hualan government.They established the No. [-] base in the hinterland of the Mu Us Desert in Eastern Xiongnu Province to conduct various scientific research and experiments for the Hualan Kingdom, and to use their remaining heat.

In later generations, this base became one of the three major military restricted areas of Hualan Kingdom, together with Base No. [-] of the Space Hospital located in Haizishan and Base No. [-] for nuclear engineering research in Lop Nur.

Hualan's domestic military forces are also being integrated, because there are many areas that need to be defended, and the army will usher in a new large-scale expansion.The performance of the Air Force in the war is obvious to all, but now the Air Force, which only has more than 1000 aircraft of various types, seems to be insufficient. During the war, they switched to combat many times, which greatly increased the fatigue of the pilots. Therefore, the expansion of the Air Force is also imminent.

The expansion of the navy is still under consideration. Due to the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, it is impossible for Hualan to increase the number of navy indefinitely.But now there is an excellent condition that can be used, and that is the fleet quota of the Wa Kingdom.If the Hualan Kingdom occupies the warship quota of the Wa Kingdom and builds all kinds of warships wantonly, the Hualan Kingdom will become an existence that surpasses the Saar Empire and the White Eagle Kingdom.

But it is a pity that not only Hualan people can think of this. One month after the end of the war, the Saar Empire issued a diplomatic invitation, inviting the six countries that originally signed the contract to gather in London, the capital of the Saar Empire, to discuss supplements to the Washington Treaty terms.

It stands to reason that the Washington Naval Treaty will not expire until 1936, and there is no need to hold a meeting to discuss it before then. However, the defeat of the Wa Kingdom made the Saar Empire see a crisis, so he re-opened the Navy Conference with the White Eagle Kingdom, hoping to pass supplementary clauses , restricting the development of Hualan Kingdom.

After consultation, the countries decided to hold the second naval meeting in London on February 1929, 2. Hualan Guo also readily agreed to participate and sent a delegation headed by Vice Minister Wu Chaoshu to go there.When Hualan began to reorganize the local army, started to develop the new regional economy, and started building several new railway lines, Wu Chaoshu boarded the journey to London.This visit is different from previous ones, the delegation no longer has the shabby look of being crowded with ordinary passengers on a passenger ship.In order to show the strength of Hualan State, the Air Force directly dispatched a passenger plane as the delegation's special plane.

After refueling at several airports in the country, the special plane left the border from the Middle Mainland. After landing in Istanbul in the Ottoman Republic and Paris in Gaul, the plane flew directly to Heathrow Airport in the suburbs of London in the Saar Empire.Today's Heathrow Airport does not have the image of a large international airport in later generations, because there is no concept of passenger aircraft in the world, and now it is just a military base of the Saar Royal Air Force. Except for the uneven runway and low tower, there is only Several solitary nests are scattered not far away, looking so desolate.

Because of the notification from Hualan in advance, the Saar Royal Air Force had already received news of a special plane visiting. This was the first time a foreign plane landed at the airport of the Saar Empire, so the Saar people attached great importance to it.Austin Chamberlain, the Foreign Minister of the Saar Empire, who had just participated in the negotiations between the Hualan Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom in Beihua City as a mediator a few months ago, was standing beside him with a smile on his face, waiting for Wu Chaoshu's speech. arrival.

For the foreign minister of one country to receive the vice minister of foreign affairs of another country is tantamount to lowering his profile.The current Saar Empire not only regards the Hualan Kingdom as an equal existence with itself, but also treats them with special courtesy, which shows the current international status of the Hualan Kingdom.

Naturally, Wu Chaoshu couldn't lose his courtesy. After getting off the plane, he stepped forward quickly and first stretched out his right hand.The two hands were firmly held together. At least it seemed that the relationship between the two countries was so harmonious. Wu Chaoshu said with a smile: "I am flattered to ask you to pick me up in person."

"That's what it should be. I didn't expect that Hualan Kingdom's technology is so powerful. It's really fast to transport the delegation by plane. You can be the first to arrive in the countries that will be there." Chamberlain replied with a smile.

"It should be one of the two." Wu Chaoshu said with a smile: "The Japanese delegation arrived on the same plane as us, and they are about to get off the plane."

Chamberlain was startled at first, and then his face twitched unnaturally.The country of Wa is the biggest pain for the Saar Empire. The allies used to contain the Hualan country in the past have now become someone else's wedding dress.Now the share of the navy owned by the Kingdom of Wa is second only to the Saar Empire and the White Eagle Kingdom. If the Hualan Kingdom goes public through the back door and builds the Hualan Navy in the name of the Wa Kingdom Navy, I am afraid that the title of the world's number one navy in the Saar Empire will change hands. up.The reason why the Saar Empire is in such a hurry to reopen the naval meeting is that the goal is the quota of Wa.

Chapter 170 Naval Proposal

Coughing twice in embarrassment, Chamberlain greeted Keisuke Okada, the foreign minister of the new Japanese government.Today's new Japanese government is formed by Inuyang Takeshi, and the cabinet is full of moderate officials. For example, the foreign minister Keisuke Okada who came this time was born in the Navy. Since 1924, he has served as Admiral of the Navy and Commander of the Combined Fleet. If it hadn't been for Tanaka Yoshito to take up the post of Marine Minister after forming a cabinet, I am afraid that he would have died in the Yizhou Strait annihilation battle last time.

Although Keisuke Okada was born in the military, he is a rare moderate. He has always advocated joint development with Hualan and opposed the blind use of force.It is precisely because of his proposition that he has been suppressed by the Japanese military all the year round, and later even resigned from the political circle in the February [-] Mutiny eight years later.

After Zhao Shouhong changed history, Keisuke Okada was reborn. He returned to the cabinet again and became an important foreign minister.It's just that the current government of the Wa Kingdom has become a vassal of the Hualan Kingdom. For example, during this trip, the Wa Kingdom delegation accompanied the Hualan Kingdom delegation.When getting off the plane, according to common sense, the person with the most distinguished status should get off the plane first, but in fact Keisuke Okada, the foreign minister, came out after Wu Chaoshu, the deputy foreign minister, which shows his low status.

Okada Keisuke didn't feel much about this kind of treatment, he was a rare long-sighted person in Japan.He had long foreseen that the country of Wa would inevitably perish according to the previous development path.Although the Wa Kingdom has now become a vassal of the Hualan Kingdom, it is better than the entire country being destroyed, and with the economic improvement of the Hualan Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom can also benefit.

It is precisely because of such thoughts that Keisuke Okada is so obedient.After saying hello to Chamberlain, Keisuke Okada naturally took half a step back and walked behind Wu Chaoshu, as if he was an entourage.From this posture, it can be seen that Wa Kingdom has now become a slave of Hualan Kingdom, without any status.

Looking at the actions of the envoys of Hualan Kingdom and Wa Kingdom, Chamberlain's heart sank. He knew that this negotiation might not be easy.Sure enough, five days later, after the arrival of delegations from various countries, they held the second naval meeting in London.

Chamberlain stated at the beginning of the new naval conference that because of some changes in the international situation, the Washington Naval Treaty has become somewhat outdated.Now we need to sit down and have a good discussion to make the naval agreement more reasonable and more suitable for the national conditions of each country.

On the surface, the two sides were amicable, but they immediately plotted against each other when they got to the negotiating table. Chamberlain's words were obviously aimed at Hua Languo.Wu Chaoshu didn't make any response, just waiting for the other party to explain directly.Seeing that Wu Chaoshu didn't answer his words, Chamberlain had no choice but to talk about other issues first, and wait until the critical moment for a direct showdown.

"After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, according to the operation of the past few years, our country has discovered some existing problems. I hope to share it with other countries here and make the revision of the Naval Treaty more perfect." Chamberlain said with a smile.

"May I ask your Excellency Chamberlain, how do you think it should be revised to be more reasonable?" White Eagle State Secretary Frank asked with a smile.He knew that the Saar Empire was most afraid of the Hualan Country, so the Saar Empire would rely more on the White Eagle Country on the issue of treaties, and would not damage their interests too much.

Chamberlain cleared his throat and said: "Our country believes that after battleships and aircraft carriers are restricted, there is a problem with the unrestricted cruisers. In particular, all countries are building a large number of nearly [-]-ton cruisers, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than some old-fashioned battleships. .”

"So the Saar Empire thinks that there should be more restrictions on cruisers?" Admiral Darlan, the representative of the Gaul Kingdom, was full of dissatisfaction, because the quota of battleships and aircraft carriers was too small, and now the Gaul Kingdom was focusing on the development of cruisers.

Chamberlain coughed twice and said, "The Saar Empire is only proposing to modify the unreasonable parts. This cannot be interpreted as a restriction on anyone. I think the classification and quantity restrictions on cruisers should be re-divided. The standard displacement exceeds 1850 tons. The classification of cruisers not larger than 1 tons can be further divided into two classes: cruisers with a main gun caliber exceeding 6.1 inches are type a and cruisers with a main gun caliber not exceeding 6.1 inches are type b. Anything beyond this column can be classified as a battleship , the construction quantity can be constructed according to the proportion of each country.”

"Restricting the cruisers of countries with weak navies is tantamount to allowing them to be slaughtered at will. I would like to ask Your Excellency Chamberlain, how can we guard the huge colony when Gaul has such a small number of cruisers? When there is a rebellion, do we need to borrow ships from the Saar Empire to counter the rebellion?" Darlan is a pure naval soldier, and what he dislikes the most is restricting the navy.What's more, the Gaul navy is already weak, and it is really disgusting to suppress its strengths now.

"Of course not. This is not a limitation of the Saar Empire, but a hope that the navies of each country can develop in an orderly manner." Chamberlain comforted him.

"I'm very sorry, the Gallic navy has been greatly restricted. I thought it was a big disadvantage for the last quota. If the cruiser is also subject to such severe restrictions, the colony of Gaul will cease to exist. Unless Saar The empire and Gaul are on equal footing, otherwise we will have to withdraw from the treaty." Darlan is a soldier, he speaks bluntly and has a very straightforward temper.He didn't follow the pattern of bargaining in diplomacy at all. After he finished speaking, he even put on his military cap and quickly left the venue.

The representative of Rome also got up and said: "Our country has the same worries as Gaul. If your country must restrict cruisers, we have no choice but to withdraw." After speaking, he followed Darlan and withdrew from the meeting.

Chamberlain felt very embarrassed that the two major powers withdrew from the conference so simply.Now that the Saar Empire has fallen to such a point, second-rate naval powers like Gaul and Rome have begun to directly resist, without giving the Saar Empire any face.

Chamberlain glanced at Wu Chaoshu with an unnatural expression, but met his gaze directly.However, Wu Chaoshu smiled as if it had nothing to do with him: "I agree with your Excellency Chamberlain's proposal very much. Both Hualan Kingdom and Wa Kingdom are willing to follow your country's proposal and vigorously restrict cruisers."

Coughing twice, Chamberlain said, "Actually, there is another question about your country. Today we need to communicate with Mr. Wu first." Seeing that Wu Chaoshu was always pretending to be stupid, Chamberlain had no choice but to raise it himself.

"Please tell me." Wu Chaoshu didn't show any displeasure.

Chamberlain said: "Since the Wa Kingdom is now attached to the Hualan Kingdom, the naval shares of the two countries should be reduced accordingly, or even reduced altogether. In addition, both the Southern Cross Republic and the Lanfang Republic have a great relationship with the Hualan Kingdom. I think It should all be included in the new naval agreement."

The first thousand and 170 chapters of the four-country war of words

"I think Lord Chamberlain is discriminating against our country. If your country thinks that an island country does not need naval protection, then please ask the Saar Empire to abolish all its navy, and we will naturally do so. If your country can't do it first, I will think your country is doing it. Intentionally suppressing us, Wa decided to withdraw from this naval agreement." Unexpectedly, Wu Chaoshu did not explode, but Okada Keisuke first refuted fiercely.

In fact, the two had communicated before, and Keisuke Okada accepted the task of playing the vanguard.He attacked Chamberlain first, so as to prevent Hualan Kingdom from directly confronting the Saar Empire and causing unnecessary diplomatic disputes.
