"Kaizhi, have the post-war economic policies for Germany been arranged?" Li Fushou asked.

"The Master of the Communist Party of China has conducted a comprehensive survey of the German industry and technology community. Germany's world-leading optical, heavy chemical and machinery industry related companies, outstanding physicists and chemists, industry leaders, etc., have begun to pay close attention and take measures, but Krupp..."

"Krupp doesn't need to worry about it. It's a deadly Junker military aristocratic enterprise, and no one can dig out the basic German base."

"I understand."

Now the Germans are working hard to run the Hindenburg defense line, trying to fight the Allies' hard attack, and continue to delay the war until the French are dragged down, just as they once dragged down Russia.

I have to say

The German Junker military aristocrats surrounding German Emperor William II were a group of hard-working guys who knew they could not do anything, but really did not cry without seeing the coffin, and their heads were very iron-headed.

Li Fushou stood outside and saw clearly that the militarized German Empire had reached the end of its strength and relied on the power of a country to fight against the whole world. How could there be a reason to be invincible?

It is related to the post-war talent grabbing, and the technology grabbing has been laid out. German factories are not rare, but talents and technology are very valuable assets, which can enable the Ocean Empire to reach the world's top level in related fields.

Why did the German High Seas Fleet launch so accurately?

In addition to the second-generation radio rangefinder leaked from the Ocean Empire, there are also the most advanced optical rangefinders in the world today, which is the unique secret of the Germans.

After entering 18 years

The overall financial policy of the Ocean Empire began to tighten, cooling down the already overheated economy, and transforming from wartime economy to peaceful economy. With the restorative development of the United Kingdom and France, strong demand from Europe is also decreasing.

The local Australian public opinion media focused on the post-war economy and world pattern and held a wide-ranging discussion. Many famous experts and scholars participated and put forward some insightful opinions.

Li Fushou also often reads newspapers to understand folk trends and serves as a pastime in his spare time.

In the recent issue of World Journal, an article criticizing Japanese was published by a university professor named Chen, which is quite interesting to read.

Japanese was born from Chinese, but Hiragana and Katakana were created based on the pronunciation characteristics of the Fusang people. In the second half of the 19th century, a small number of Western language factors were incorporated.

According to current Japanese statistics, Chinese accounts for 61.2%, and Chinese accounts for 34.7%. Some nouns integrated into English and French are called "an inappropriate monster" by Professor Chen.

Compared with North Korea, Vietnam accepts Chinese in its entirety, and Japanese adds more local characteristics, which is more like a hodgepodge of Chinese and Western cultures. In the eyes of orthodox sinologists, this is undoubtedly a rebellious act and a blasphemy against orthodox Chinese language.

Li Fushou pointed out the report in the newspaper and said to Gu Kaizhi, "Kaizhi, have you read this report?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have read this report. There are roughly two views on Professor Chen's remarks in society." Gu Kaizhi put down his work and read the newspaper and said;

"On the one hand, people who hold great Chinese are agreeing with Professor Chen's opinion, believing that the Japanese monk was chanting the scriptures wrongly and they were disliked by them.

On the other hand, more opinions are tolerant.

Among them, many Chinese people are unwilling to tie Fusang with themselves, revealing all kinds of contempt and despise, and having a high-ranking mentality.

Objectively speaking, existence means reasonable.

A country that can study the advanced system of the empire is the first to be the Fusang Kingdom. The strength of its land and navy should not be underestimated. Its overseas colonization and economic development have also improved greatly. It is considered a good student."

"Then what do you think of Fusang people?" Li Fushou asked casually.

Gu Kaizhi's heart suddenly became tight. He knew that the emperor's question had a profound meaning and even related to his future political future. He must be firm in his attitude on major issues.

He replied seriously;

“Report to the Lord;

I personally think that my heart will be different if I am not of my race.

This is true for both Fuso, Great Britain, France, America, Germany or Italians. These Westerners or Easterners were rampant in China and changed their faces to be low and small in front of the empire, fearing power but not being virtuous, which is really abominable.

In today's world, there are many powerful people and wars are endless.

Weichen believes that only strength and interests are eternal. We should consolidate the basic foundation around the Alliance of Pacific States, build an empire-owned trade circle, expand its influence in the Chinese cultural circle, and compete with the English and French circles.

To deal with Fusang people, you need carrots and sticks, and beware of their bites.

The Fusang people never gave up the "Manchuria-Mongolia expansion" policy. From their active participation in the military intervention in Russia, it can be seen that Fusang did not give up the "Far East expansion" policy. The small island country is unsatisfactory and has an astonishing appetite, which is worthy of vigilance."

"The Japanese slaves are indeed very attractive, and they are even more greedy than you think." Li Fushou did not comment on his words, but sighed and continued; "I thought that the expansion of North America could satisfy the Japanese slaves. Who knew that they were obsessed with the Russian Far East and the Chinese Manchuria, and were not afraid of suffocating to death?"

"I personally think that Fusang is the most aggressive country in the world today."

"Well, it makes sense to say that. Kaizhi, have you noticed that Fusang's current tendency to be more and more intense. Encroaching the Korean Peninsula will not satisfy their appetite. The 64 million citizens shouted from top to bottom to "staying in the Far East and occupying North America." This is a very terrible thing."

Having said this

Li Fushou paused for a moment, gently tapped the newspaper on the desk with his slender fingers, and thought for a while before saying;

"Sometimes, I feel uneasy. Will the indulgence of Fuso's policies create an uncontrollable war monster? It becomes our big trouble."

His concerns are not unreasonable. The war in North America affected the Heavy Industrial Zone of the Great Lakes. The Japanese occupied area has thousands of factories and a strong industrial foundation. If it is to occupy Milwaukee, a port city on Lake Michigan, and obtain a port on the sea, it is like a tiger.

See the current war situation

The focus of the US defense is on the front line of Chicago, and it is no longer possible to stop the Japanese army from occupying Milwaukee and Green Bay in the north, and these northern cities along the Great Lakes.

The sea outlet of the Great Lakes region passes through the St. Lawrence River in Canada, belongs to the area controlled by the Royal Navy, and has corresponding naval bases in the area.

Therefore, whether Japan can use these ports depends on London's expression.

Faced with the emperor's worries, Gu Kaizhi replied;

"Sir, the Imperial Royal Navy is already building an unprecedentedly powerful Duke-class battleship. Looking around the world, this is also the main battleship of the ocean decisive battle with the most powerful combat power.

Once built, we will have a dominant naval force in the Pacific region and no one dares to challenge it.

From now on

The Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean are traditional hunting grounds for the British Royal Navy, while the Pacific Ocean will be the backyard of the Imperial Royal Navy. The two compete with each other and have their own expertise.

With the naval power of the Fusang Kingdom, he could not catch up with the horses for at least 20 years, and he was unable to challenge the Imperial Royal Navy.

From this perspective, Fusang does not have the basic conditions to challenge the majesty of the empire, and the danger is within a controllable range."

Gu Kaizhi's analysis is reasonable. As an island country with poor resources, Fusang lacks geographical depth and sufficient territory, and naturally lacks the foundation for becoming a world power.

As long as you hold the life gate of the navy, you will not be able to make a big wave.

"You are right. The Navy is indeed the weakness of Fusang Country. Although its training level is high and its combat effectiveness is strong, the main warships are generally old and have lagged behind the world's advanced level for an entire generation, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being." Li Fushou's expression was slightly relaxed.

"The emperor said, I personally think that Fusang Kingdom has suffered such heavy debts and getting the Great Lakes area is also working to repay our debts. From an economic perspective, it is a good thing."

"Then you have to restrict them too. The wolf cubs are always restless and have to be vigilant."

“You mean…”

"Wait until after the war, we will introduce a bill to limit the naval armament to prevent things like the German high seas fleet from happening again, which is very necessary."

After the World War

Li Fushou considered joining forces with Britain, France and other countries to develop a bill to limit the naval armament, limiting the naval power of Fusang to a lower level, so as to reduce the challenges to the existing world pattern.

If the strength of the British Empire Royal Navy is 1, the Ocean Empire Navy should also be 1 or 90%, France 30%, Italy 30%, Fuso 25%, and the United States 10%, and the German Navy will negotiate again.

The German Navy's problems have always been European issues, while the American Navy and Fuso Navy's problems are Asian issues, which are related to the Pacific hegemony of the Ocean Empire.

In the original history

The total naval volume of Britain and the United States is the same, Italy and France are about 33%, and Fuso is about 66%. This proportion is obviously too high, leaving Fuso's confidence to tear up the naval treaty.

The Five-Nation Naval Treaty did not limit the construction of aircraft carriers below 10,000 tons. As a result, the Fusang Kingdom took the opportunity to build many 9,800 tons aircraft carriers and developed maritime aviation power in disguise.

Now that I have done it again, Li Fushou will naturally not leave such a big loophole for Fusang Kingdom.

The Maritime Armed Treaty limits the Fuso Navy's strength to 25%, including aircraft carriers, which completely castrates the Fuso Navy's strength and leaves it without the strength to challenge the Royal Navy's hegemony in the Pacific.

If you dare to tear down the naval treaty, it means war. The Royal Navy will teach him how to be a human being in minutes without leaving room for compromise.
