Beiyang reactionaries

Basically all countries responded to this invitation.Their military attaches in China basically accepted the invitation and took the members of their military observation team on the train.More than a dozen countries responded, forming an observation team of more than 100 people.

Lieutenant General Victor Jones.

It is the British military attache in China, and this time he brought some subordinates to join the military observation group invited by China.The situation in the UK is now difficult, and the tasks of their ambassadors and military attaches abroad are becoming more and more important, that is, to maintain good relations with China as much as possible.

Not only can China not merge with Germany, Italy, and Japan, it also needs China's support.Since Japan began to stir up the situation in Nanyang, many resources that Britain needs have also been cut off.In the past, Britain controlled Nanyang, and the resources in Nanyang were all prepared for Britain.But now the resources of Nanyang are in the hands of China and Japan.Japan is the direct enemy of Britain, and it is impossible for Britain to do business with Japan.The only place where we can do business is China.

Also, India is currently reorganizing its troops and needs a lot of heavy weapons.Before, Victor Jones, as the military attache stationed in China, discussed arms deals with China.China is relatively easy to talk about, as long as you give money, you can sell anything.

It is precisely because of the rise of China's status that China's importance to the United Kingdom has increased.Therefore, the level of the British embassy in China is rising.Including the British military attache in China, they are all very high-ranking, and only lieutenant generals are competent.

However, because the current situation in the UK is difficult, their atmosphere is relatively depressed.Because they don't know whether Britain can persist under the attack of Germany.France, Britain's largest ally in Europe and the world's top power, has surrendered.

"Everything China has done over the years is for deterrence."

"deterrence?"

"Yes. China announced the data of their so-called second five-year plan five years ago, which is the first deterrence. Tell the world their industrial scale, tell the world their industrial strength. At the beginning of this year they opened their tanks in Shenyang Letting everyone visit their tank production line is the most direct deterrent. Tell the world how China produces tanks and how many tanks China can produce in a year.”

"General, according to our statistics, China's annual tank production can exceed [-]."

"Yes, this is deterrence. At present, the countries with the most tanks in the world are the Soviet Union, Germany, and China. Each of them has [-] tanks. But what is more terrifying than that is this, which produces [-] tanks a year, or even As long as China needs it, China can produce more tanks. Think about it, Germany swept the European continent with thousands of tanks. China has [-] tanks and produces [-] tanks a year. If so many tanks are put into war, it will be What kind of situation. If China throws these tanks into their southwest direction, then neither French Indochina, nor Burma, nor even India will be able to resist."

Victor Jones was worried.

But he quickly said: "Fortunately, China is currently focusing its energy on the north. Some time ago, Duan Xun announced the abolition of the so-called unequal treaties signed before, mainly targeting the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is not easy to mess with. Partial strength. As long as there is a conflict between China and the Soviet Union, then India and Myanmar will be stable in a short period of time. This time, China’s military observation mission is actually to let us see the strength of the Chinese army and further deter us.”

"General, what is the purpose of the Chinese? Who is it for?"

"For whom?"

Victor Jones paused, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "For all countries. For the United States, it is also for us, even for Japan, and Germany. It is to tell everyone, China It is already a powerful country, so don’t think that China is still the same China as before.”

"This... General, look quickly."

Victor Jones turned his head to look out the window and saw a long queue of cars.There are rows of trucks, some of which are carrying goods, and some of them are dragging artillery behind them.This place is relatively close to the railway and road, so the trucks can be seen directly from the train.

"Timer."

"what?"

"Time. Start now, hurry up."

"Yes."

Victor Jones was no stranger.

Britain itself is the world's top industrial power, and its industrial strength is very strong.The annual production of automobiles is also 30 million, so I have seen automobiles.The British military has a lot of trucks.But seeing so many cars in China, with no end in sight, still surprised Victor Jones.

The more he looked at it, the more surprised he was.

Because the train has been running for a while, but those car convoys still have no end in sight.Rows and rows were full of trucks.After running for about 20 minutes, the railway and road gradually drifted away, and until the road was gradually lost, there were always trucks.

"for how long?"

"24 minutes and 36 seconds."

“刚刚那些车都是两排的，我看两辆车中间大约是20米到30米左右。我们坐的这辆火车速度大约在三十公里到35公里之间，也就是说刚刚跑了大约13公里左右。那么我们看到的就是最少4000辆，多的话就是6000辆左右。这么看来刚刚那一批汽车团队的数量最少在7000辆左右。”

Victor Jones immediately began to calculate.

For the border areas, China's third five-year plan has laid a large number of roads.The Lanxin Highway and Qingxin Highway entering Xinjiang are the top priorities.What Victor Jones and the others saw just now is a section of the Lanxin Highway, which overlaps with the Lanxin Railway.

So Victor Jones quickly made the calculations.

As he spoke, Victor Jones was already very surprised, even shocked.It's not that Victor Jones hasn't seen so many cars, but appearing in China is a big deal.

More than 7000 vehicles were dispatched at one time.

This should be supplemented for the troops in Xinjiang.

"I saw that about a quarter of the trucks had artillery behind them. That's more than a thousand artillery pieces."

"Yes."

"Remember every time we entered some stations? There were trains that gave way to us, and there were tanks on them. There were hundreds of such trains on this road, adding up to 1000 Lots of tanks."

Victor Jones stroked his forehead.

He didn't know if these were just things they saw by chance when they entered Xinjiang, or if China deliberately let them see things.When Victor Jones was thinking, the car not far from him was a member of the Japanese Military Observer Group.

Ishihara's smile became even more serious.

Because he saw the real strength of China.He didn't need to observe anything else, just the row of big trucks just now made Ishihara smile with envy.Japan also has its own cars, but the current production of cars in Japan is limited.No matter how hard you work, it is only [-] to [-] vehicles a year.Historically, the development of the Japanese automobile industry was inseparable from the help of American automobile companies.

When American auto companies produced [-] to [-] cars in Japan, Japan's own car companies produced only a few hundred cars a year.In fact, until the outbreak of World War II, the production of automobiles by local Japanese companies was very low, only two to three thousand vehicles.

But this time and space, those auto factories in the United States have chosen to open their Asian branches in China.The result is to seriously affect the development of the Japanese automobile industry.At present, Japan needs to import a lot of cars from China.

In other words, Japan's auto industry is currently relatively backward.

And Japan's steel production is limited.

Manufacturing so many warships, ships, aircraft, tanks, and artillery shells every year has already cost a lot of steel.Moreover, the construction of some machinery and equipment in Japan also requires steel.

Not to mention that Japan's automobile industry has just started. Even if Japan's automobile industry is very strong, Japan does not have enough steel to produce a large number of automobiles.Just like in China, the annual production of automobiles is more than 80, tractors are more than 30, and motorcycles are more than 400. The annual consumption of steel alone is 3000 million tons.Only a country like China with a steel output of nearly [-] million tons has the ability to vigorously develop the automobile industry.Even if Japan has such strength, due to the limitation of steel, it is impossible to produce so many things.

So Ishihara Waner is only envious.

Japan currently has less than [-] military trucks in total, and many of them are imported from China.But China has so many trucks in one dispatch.Look at the thousands of cannons on the back of these trucks just now.

Ishihara smiled carefully.

Among these artillery pieces, one-third turned out to be heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of nearly 300mm.That's pretty amazing.The number of heavy artillery in Japan is very small, and 75mm caliber artillery and anti-war artillery account for more than half of all artillery.There aren't many really heavy artillery.For heavy artillery with a caliber exceeding 150mm, the entire army does not have 300 guns.However, there are more than 300 artillery pieces with a caliber of nearly 300mm that China has just appeared in front of.

It's amazing.

Ishihara Waner already knew that Japan could no longer be China's opponent in a war on land.Before China disclosed their tank production line, looking at the tanks one by one has already surprised the Japanese Army.What's more, now I see so many trucks transporting supplies, so many artillery, so many heavy artillery.

This is no longer comparable to the Japanese Army.

"General, is this intentional for us to see?"

"So what if it was on purpose?"

Ishihara Waner heard what other members of the observation team said, and spoke with a wry smile.Intentional or not, those things are there, and those things are not fake.Ishihara smiled and continued: "Although China has not yet gone to war with the Soviet Union, the last time their Supreme Council stated that they wanted to abolish the unequal treaty, it was said to the Soviet Union, which is equivalent to a declaration of war. China has been preparing for these years and hoarded it in the border area Think about it, how many planes, tanks, and artillery they will deploy on the border. The artillery just now is just supplementary. Think about it, what will the current armament situation of the Chinese Army be like.”

Ishihara smiled and shook his head.
