the world is at stake

Just talk about "Nanyang sister", talk about the poverty of the elders in the hometown, and talk about the extravagance of the Japanese wealthy families. There are really a large number of Japanese soldiers who surrendered with tears and guns.

The Japanese military hated this force.

Because of their existence, the fighting will and morale of the Korean and Japanese troops were greatly shaken.In North Korea, there was an uprising on the battlefield of the entire Japanese army brigade, which led to a loophole in the front line and was violently beaten by the National Defense Forces.

But hate is hate, and the number of Japanese personnel in the National Defense Forces quickly exceeded two to three thousand.The establishment of the Japanese People's Liberation Army has also increased from one company to two regiments, and it is still a full-staffed regiment.

These two regiments fought against the Japanese army in North Korea. Their high fighting will and tenacity in combat shocked the National Defense Forces. .

Araki's work has always been collecting intelligence on Japanese people in China, especially the Japanese People's Liberation Army, as well as China's technological and industrial breakthroughs.

Information in this regard is not difficult to collect, and Chinese newspapers and periodicals will take the initiative to publish it.

For example, recently, the "Emperor Capital Daily" triumphantly announced that the country has developed a transistor computer with a large-capacity magnetic core memory for information communication and national government affairs processing.

Newspapers called it an epoch-making progress, and its performance was [-] times stronger than the electronic tube computers being developed in various countries.

Its prototype model is used to control the rolling production line of Capital Iron and Steel Works in Tangshan. Compared with manual control, its efficiency is doubled, product quality is stable, and there are few mistakes.

Those who know the inside story are all scolding China for being shameless. If it weren't for the selected people in South Korea who were in a daze and sent a large amount of semiconductor materials and equipment to China, the fastest time to manufacture transistors would be ten years later.

Nowadays, the power consumption and volume of electronic tubes made in various countries are extremely large, and the reliability of using them to make computers is extremely poor.

While China continued to use electron tubes, it took five or six years to manufacture 10,000+ transistors using the single crystal silicon wafer substrate obtained by Park Haochang.

Transistors have no glass shell, do not require vacuum, are small in size, have high R&D thresholds but low production costs, and have a much longer lifespan than electronic tubes.

These transistors not only support the nationwide broadcasting system, but also standardize the handling of government affairs.

The provinces have established information centers, which are directly connected to the national data center in the imperial capital through telegraph lines. With standardized input and output, the Development and Reform Commission can accurately allocate limited manpower, material and transportation capacity for construction.

Araki didn't know how advanced transistor computers were, and he didn't even understand electronic tubes.But after the news spread, there was chaos among the chosen ones.

No one can figure out how far China's transistors have developed, but they know that this thing can effectively and continuously improve the government's ability to govern.If China can mass-produce it, everyone is still playing a fart!

Fortunately, the Japanese candidates came out to clarify, saying that China has taken a big advantage from the Koreans, and after the semiconductor materials in their hands are exhausted, they still have to climb the related technology tree with everyone.

Araki managed to collect some secrets of China's electronics industry through contact with young workers.He thinks that they are some particularly important technological means, such as the manufacture of magnetic core memory, including the waste products that a few workers took out.

But when the relevant information and real objects were sent back after a long time, the Japanese candidates all had bitter faces after seeing them——I was a big country in electronics, so what’s the use of these small circles of magnetic cores?

Who still lacks technology these days?Craftsmanship and materials can be difficult.

Leaving the toilet in the dormitory, Araki told his co-workers that he would go home.In order to conceal his identity, he had already married a wife and had children in the imperial capital.The worker didn't take it seriously and let him go.

But Araki didn't go home, he rode a bicycle for two laps on the dark night road, made sure no one was following him, and turned to Dongjiaominxiang.In a building near the embassy area, he saw Wang Kemin, who had become a traitor, and a dozen others.

The old bureaucrats in the system are panicking, because after the establishment of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, just like the "Politics and Security Bureau" back then, they began to arrest people in the imperial capital for "shuanggui".

Those who were arrested basically had no interrogation experience. Faced with professional interrogation techniques, they began to explain their problems within half an hour, and then followed the clues to dig out more corrupt officials.

No one knows if he will be the next one to be arrested. Some people have already started to abandon their officials and flee, but they cannot escape in the country, and they must flee abroad.

When Araki appeared, the group of restless old bureaucrats were discussing how to instigate the Wehrmacht to rebel.For example, contact a few old Beiyang military officers who are still in the army, and ask them to lead troops to Beijing immediately to help Yuan Shikai, who has been down in Henan, get out of the mountain.

This whimsy caused great quarrels, with some people approving it and others ridiculing it.

"Leading troops into Beijing? It's a dream. It's not the Xuantong year. Those big soldiers won't listen to you at all."

"Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. I am willing to give all my family wealth to reward the army."

"It seems that my brother has made a lot of money in the past few years. But the army still won't listen to you. If they know that they want to attack the central government, you will be the first to destroy it."

"I definitely can't say it directly, but I can follow the old example of Yingzong's 'seizure of the door' in the Ming Dynasty. If you trick the troops into Beijing to get things done, then those who can't be soldiers will not do it."

"This is even more nonsense. There is a radio in the central government, and President Xiao can send orders to the world with a single shout. There are political commissars in the army, so we won't be fooled."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, you should find a way out."

"I want to find a way, not just sitting here with you and waiting to die?"

A group of people were arguing, and some desperate people cried on the spot, and some people wanted to go out and surrender.There were also people who were angry and dissatisfied, shouting that Zhou treated the bureaucrats harshly and was too cruel.

Araki walked through the group with a blank expression, and was led inside by Wang Kemin.As soon as the door opened, Liang Shiyi with a pale face was sitting in front of a kerosene lamp, sighing.

Chapter 16 The Strongest Equipment

Staring at the dim light flickering in the kerosene lamp, Liang Shiyi didn't expect that he would make such a fuss?He is just an official according to the rules and doing things according to the rules.Compared with Sheng Huaixuan of the previous dynasty, he is absolutely clean and honest.

The Sheng Huaixuan case was sentenced a few years ago, and the corruption of more than 600 million taels of silver implicated thousands of officials. He was shot together with a dozen cronies that year.Most of the officials pleaded guilty and were let off.

Fast forward a few years now, and this group of people committed crimes again.They subconsciously believe that the central government cannot do without them. Since the previous crimes are not to blame, they should make more money and be more greedy to make up for the losses.

Liang Shiyi also had the same idea.But the central government has bigger ideas, and wants to take them all together.

In the small private room, Araki came in and took a look, and said, "Mr. Liang, follow me, it's not safe here."

"My Liang family still has more than a dozen people, what should I do?" Liang Shiyi raised his head feebly, his voice hoarse.

"I can't take care of it anymore." Araki's duty is to take Liang Shiyi to the safe house and wait for his superiors to make follow-up arrangements.

Wang Kemin took out a small leather bag and said to Araki fawningly, "Your Excellency, this is the latest anti-ship weapon of the National Defense Force. It took me a lot of effort to get it."

Inside the leather bag is a stack of manuscript paper, which is a hand-painted sketch copied by someone from the original blueprint, which should come from a certain weapon design bureau.Araki glanced at it, and it said '1916 90mm air-launched rocket'.

When the "Holy Light" came, it faced the "Nanjing Incident" caused by Zhang Xun, and was forced to make do with the construction of a triplane with tens of kilograms of ricochet as an anti-ship weapon, which was a great success.

In the ensuing crisis of reclaiming the concession, the Chinese squadron of the British Navy was forced to face up to the deterrence brought by the small aircraft and had to back down by three points.

Nowadays, aviation power is developing extremely fast, and navies of various countries are trying their best to deal with air strikes.The formal school is to develop a sea-based air force based on an aircraft carrier, and use the mobility of the ship to fight against fighters taking off from land airports.

In addition, thick-skinned and rough-skinned battlecruisers and the like strengthened their anti-aircraft firepower, and put rapid-fire guns on ships to turn themselves into "fire hedgehogs".

Where there is a shield, there is a spear. The Chinese navy is weak, and the anti-ship mission is particularly heavy.Now the dive bomber is limited by materials and engines, and has not yet appeared.Simply relying on slow torpedo planes to forcibly break into the enemy ship's anti-aircraft firepower net is tantamount to suicide.

How to tear open the opponent's firepower net and open the attack channel for the torpedo plane has become a problem that the Chinese naval equipment department must face-installing more cannons on fighter jets will not help, and the power of point killing is too small, so we must change our thinking.

The aviation rockets that Wang Kemin took out are new equipment recently finalized by the Air Force, and are specially used to strike targets such as airports, oil depots, warships, artillery positions, and ground firepower points.

It uses cheap black powder as the propellant, the tail flame spins, the warhead is three kilograms, the speed is 210 meters per second, and the effective range is 1000 to [-] meters. The damage efficiency is much greater than the power of machine guns.

After equipped with this thing, the attack aircraft does not need to be too close to the battleship, and the safety is greatly improved.

Its self-forging fragments cannot penetrate the battleship's main turret, but its surface damage effect is very effective against unprotected machine guns or lightly protected machine guns.

Even if it is a battleship equipped with nearly a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, if a few attack planes bombard it with more than a dozen rockets, there will still be a huge firepower gap.

The torpedo plane can naturally fly close to the point and launch an attack slowly.

The Navy is very satisfied with this thing after testing it.

Araki took a few glances, put the hand-painted drawings back into the leather bag, and simply encouraged Wang Kemin a few words, not very excited.It is not surprising that Japan did not respond to any new Chinese technology and equipment he sent back.

Wang Kemin thought that what he got was a big bargaining chip.He turned his head to comfort Liang Shiyi again, "Brother Liang, don't be too sad. If the world is not chaotic, we won't be able to gain power and make money. If you avoid it now, you will definitely come back in the future."

Liang Shiyi was struggling in the end, he knew that he would definitely die if he stayed.But if he fled to Japan, his reputation as a traitor would never be washed away.

Whether it is life or fame is really hard to decide.

When Wang Kemin came to pull, Liang Shiyi sat motionless at the table with tears in his eyes and howled loudly.This made Wang Kemin anxious, and dragged Liang Shiyi away.

It was late at night, and the old bureaucrats were still arguing in the front hall of the house.A car was prepared in the backyard. Araki and Wang Kemin brought Liang Shiyi out and pushed him into the car.

But when getting into the car, Araki took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed the unsuspecting Wang Kemin in the back.

Wang Kemin was pushing Liang Shiyi, he groaned in severe pain, straightened his back and wanted to turn around.Araki put his body down and slowly pulled out the dagger.

"You...you..." Wang Kemin's fingers trembled wildly, he felt his whole body being constricted, and wanted to scold but couldn't make a sound.

"I was ordered to take away Mr. Liang alone." Araki quickly wiped the blood of Wang Kemin's body with a knife blade, and after getting into the car, he said to the horrified Liang Shiyi: "I can only say sorry to Mr. Wang."

Liang Shiyi's chest rose and fell violently, and his throat sounded like a bellows being pulled. He couldn't breathe for a long time, so he had to drive away with Araki.

A few hours later, Guoan found the old house where bureaucrats gathered, and also found the corpse lying behind.

Not long after, the various ministries and commissions of the imperial capital took advantage of this rectification to replace nearly one-third of the civil servants, and almost all the old people from the previous dynasty were cleaned up.According to gossip, the cause of the incident was that the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance actually defected to the enemy, provoking President Xiao's fury.

Araki led Liang Shiyi to evacuate and hid in the safe house he arranged for a full month. It was not until mid-March that he found the opportunity to leave the imperial capital with makeup. He left from Tianjin on a British ship and was sent to Japan.

The Japanese side regarded this as a major victory and made a lot of publicity.The "air-launched rocket" information brought by Araki was also successfully sent to his public security department, and the information was shared with the US side.

The 'Brotherhood' and the Japanese military department jointly conducted a comprehensive analysis of the hand-painted manuscript paper from the imperial capital, and even simply imitated a dozen rounds for test firing, and the report was sent to the Ministry of the Navy and the Naval Command.

After being confirmed by the Navy, the report was sent to the Prime Minister's Office in Akasaka, Tokyo, so that Prime Minister Miura Nachikatsu could learn about the latest changes in the "violent use" of force.

But Mr. Prime Minister...

"What's the use of showing me this kind of report? You don't listen to me at all. I, the prime minister, are not allowed to attend the meetings of the budget committee. The navy is going to go alone like the army, isn't it?"

"I don't want to be the prime minister at all. The military force forced me to be the prime minister. They treat me like a rubber stamp every day, and I can't even leave the prime minister's office."

"Idiots, independent husbands, megalomaniacs, all the money saved by frugality in Japan is used to build warships. The people are starving, and they will rebel."

"You still count on American aid? Marcos served two terms as president and stepped down last year. President Wilson, who took office this year, is a member of the Democratic Party and a consortium. He is different from Marcos."

"It's going to be over, it's really going to be over. I am obviously the prime minister, but I watched Japan go to ruin. The idiots in the military have no idea who their opponent is."

"If I had known this, why would I have come to Japan? I'd just vote for the communist party and let that evil god of China deal with you. Anyway, I'm going to be a dog. I'd rather be a Chinese dog than a military dog."

In the prime minister's office, Miura Naikang beat the table for a while, and cursed for a while.More than a dozen entourage guards in suits or Japanese kimonos stood inside and outside the office, staring at the prime minister who was screaming like crazy, without saying a word.

Everyone is cold and has no respect for the prime minister.It's their job to make sure nothing happens to this very useful 'big shot', and nobody cares what he says.

The officers of the Naval Command sent the report very respectfully, and the chief of affairs of the Prime Minister's Office also formally signed for it, and then it was delivered to Miura in a proper manner.

Miura stared with red eyes, "Do you still have the slightest respect for me?"

The chief purser held the report in both hands, bowed at 45 degrees, and was impeccable in etiquette, "Your Excellency, please read it."

Miura makes trouble every day, but it's useless.He lived a two-point and one-line life-in the office during the day and at the prime minister's residence at night.He doesn't treat him badly by eating, drinking, and slacking off, even if he wants a woman.Official reports are also allowed to be read by him, but he is not allowed to take power.

With a snap, Miura accepted the report sent by the chief purser, glanced down, and confirmed that it was the Navy's assessment and test report on the latest equipment of the Chinese Air Force.

"Air-launched rockets. 'Holy Light' has come up with something new." Miura casually flipped through the pages, "Idiots in the military think this is China's newest weapon?"

The Secretary of State Affairs obviously read the report beforehand, "The US also agrees with this judgment, and they said that this weapon does not surprise them. If necessary, the US will also provide it to Japan."

"You didn't find anything else?"

"Our secret agents instigated Chinese military personnel and brought back the Deputy Minister of Finance. From the comparison of various information, this is the strongest anti-ship weapon that the Chinese Air Force will equip."

Miura stared at the Purser.The purser bowed his knees, his eyes fixed on the carpet.He flipped through the report in his hand with a breathless breath, and sighed helplessly: "This must be fake, the idiots in the military department have been fooled."

The chief of affairs only ignored Miura's words, and continued to say affirmatively: "The senior US advisers who cooperated with Da Nippon have come to a conclusion, and the military department has approved it."

Miura almost died, "Those idiot consultants don't know what high technology is. They are... just... very ordinary Americans.

Have you ever heard of a thing called 'radar'?Do you know that high-sensitivity transistors can be easily detected and amplified?China has publicly stated that it has mastered it.

There is no need for any advanced technology. A transmitter and a receiver can guide a heavy ammunition from dozens of kilometers away to the sky above the warship by judging from the strength and angle of the detected signal. "

The chief of affairs pondered seriously for a while, as if he was thinking about the whimsical idea of ​​the prime minister.But he paused for half a minute and replied:

"Yes, US advisers believe that there is such a guidance mechanism. But they believe that the US has not yet developed a similar weapon, and China cannot."

"The United States doesn't have one, so China can't?"

Miura was so angry that he scratched his heart and lungs, beat the table and jumped his feet, and cursed loudly: "Where is Marco Shi, where is Marco Shi? He shouldn't have no reaction to this. He should understand me, those people What are smart Americans doing?

This American politics is too fucked up, changing the national policy when changing the president.This can also become a superpower, what a joke. "

Chapter 17 Combat Target

In the rest room of the prime minister's office, a maid in a kimono with white powder on her face brought lunch.A bowl of miso soup, a portion of salted radish, saury with rice, plus half a box of canned luncheon meat from the United States.

Sitting cross-legged, Miura complained bitterly: "The Prime Minister of the Great Japanese Empire actually eats this, I must be the most useless Japanese Prime Minister."

The chief purser knelt beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Miura, please don't say such things. His Majesty the Emperor only eats one more plate of pickles than you. Ordinary citizens can only eat rice with mixed grains."

Miura looked down at the dinner plate, pouted his lips, and thought: "Is it comparable to what I eat every day for taking photos for the public? The bastards in the military department serve beef and sake openly, thinking I don't know?"

In the past five years, the world economy has experienced strange prosperity, revolutionary new technologies have emerged one after another, and production capacity has exploded accordingly.The United States has a large territory and no foreign enemies, and has unique advantages in development.

'Holy Light' all brought high-yielding pig and cow breeding semen, and 'Brotherhood' was no exception.In the past five years, the output of its meat, eggs and milk has been rising steadily.

Marcos reigned for six years, and the U.S. economy developed extremely rapidly, and he was easily re-elected in 1912.After working for two terms, he still wanted to recommend people from the 'Brotherhood' to continue working, but the American Consortium refused to agree.

Because of technological progress and economic development, the power of the original small American government has been greatly increased by Marcus.Capital is extremely sensitive to regulation, which has reached an intolerable level.

In the 1916 U.S. general election, the "Brotherhood" arranged more than a dozen candidates in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, adding multiple insurances.Unable to stand the 'Holy Light' making trouble behind the scenes, the consortium united to push Thomas Woodrow Wilson.

As soon as Wilson came to power, all the cases of the "Brotherhood"'s rampant expansion in order to expand were revealed, and the matter of providing military aid to Japan for many years in a row was criticized by the media.

Isn't what the United States wants is 'open door, equal opportunity'?The largest market in Asia is China, and it has been fully opened up. Do you need to support Japan, a poor country, to fight against it?

When Marco Shi was in power, in addition to the military aid of one billion US dollars at the beginning, he also gave [-] million US dollars in financial aid every year.When Wilson came to power, he immediately cut off all these aids and urged Japan to repay the loan.

Japan is short of resources, and its technology is not dominant, so this knife cut its military and political circles into confusion.
