Increase troops! Increase troops! Increase troops!

In the hot summer, the entire Eurasian continent is like a heavy train without brakes, and such a sound is heard from east to west. When Yang Qiu used the powerful air force accumulated over several years to increase troops to the Persian Gulf, all the countries in the vortex began to act like crazy.

Japan accelerates its increase in troops to the rich Nanyang!

The Soviet Union increased its troops to the East and Persian Gulf!

Britain increased its troops to France, the Persian Gulf and India!

France increases troops to the French-German border!

Germany adds troops to the border between Danze and Poland!

Italy adds troops to North Africa!

Even Roosevelt, who was out of the matter, has also prevented the war from expanding and harming the interests of the United States, and announced that the total army's strength will be increased to one million! And again signed documents to start construction of four South Dakota-class battleships and Baltimore-class heavy cruisers.

Aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, warships, food, clothing, fuel, ammunition... The industrial production capacity is calculated. There are no topics outside of war on newspapers and radio. One by one, one combat plan is proposed and appointed to the front line. The population of hundreds of millions is unconsciously involved. The factories work overtime, machines are constantly stopping day and night, fighter planes roaring, naval guns, and the flesh and blood brought by the explosions are sprinkled all over the rainforest, deserts and seas.

At this last moment, the busy Yang Qiu took the time to come to Shanghai to attend the launch ceremony of the Navy's Shandong battleship.

In fact, the second-class ship Shanxi, the Shandong-class ship, was secretly launched in Mawei three months ago, but the progress of the Shandong was lagging behind. However, this was also related to the heavy task of the Jiangnan Factory, and politically considering that the guests who participated in the Asian Liberation Front of the National Socialist Association visited the guests. In fact, since the construction of the Shandong-class, Yang Qiu never thought of keeping it confidential and serving like Japan. Because the total maritime tonnage in the Republic of China has exceeded 15 million tons, and the annual shipbuilding volume has exceeded 7.3 million tons. Among them, super tankers and large aircraft carriers are basically synchronized with Europe and the United States and even slightly exceeded. So I simply took it out to enhance the confidence of Asian countries to work with China. After all, in this era, a super battleship is still a nuclear weapon.

In the No. 4 deep-water dock of Jiangnan Factory, which had been closed for three years, the sluice lock slowly opened, and the turbid Huangpu River water poured in, slowly lifting a warship that was so large that it could not be replenished. Because the tonnage was too large, it could not slide off the boat platform with lubricating oil as before. In addition, the draft of the Huangpu River was limited, so the dock was dragged out.

On the majestic battleship, which was floating little by little with red color, a total of four triple 406mm/l50 guns in front and back have been installed, and the engine compartment and masts have been properly installed. The main installation work is internal facilities, fire control, air defense, radar, communication and other outfits. Although the progress of the ship and platform is slightly behind, the Jiangnan Factory has completed some outfits before, so it can still be guaranteed to be delivered to the navy for use in early 1941.

Although the Shandong was not completed at this time, the huge figure had already made Chandra, Ben Aziz and others stunned. Brunei Sultan Ahmed Danzuting, who was deceased to live in Beijing, was even more in tears and wanted to hug the ship cannon and cry loudly. Sa Zhenbing, who came to participate in the launch ceremony, was so excited that she wanted to drive home immediately.

Jiang Baili was amused and crying, and poked Chen Shaokuan excitedly with his fingers: "Houfu, what does this old boy mean? Let's talk about it. If you really want it, just use the money to sell him one."

Chen Shaokuan really wanted to beat someone up. The four Shandong-class battleships were treasures that the navy had been looking forward to for a long time, so how could they be sold! But he was indeed amused by the Sultan of Brunei. He smiled and said, "Brother Baili, you don't understand. The maximum range of our naval gun is 42 kilometers. Just his territories are all on the beach. It can cover most of the time with one shot. Do you think he should perform well and let the president send troops to recover the palace sooner?"

"Haha...why don't you talk to him later. Didn't the president say that he would sell the two old Anhai ships last time? Although the guns above were only 305 mm, they also had a range of 31 kilometers. They could kill them by themselves if they bought them." Jiang Fangzhen was not giving up and continued to raid Chen Shaokuan's ship.

Because both Old Anhai were attacked by a large number of near-burn loss in the last battle, the part of the bottom cabin beam in the middle section of the boiler and engine room was structurally broken. This problem was actually because the United States cut corners back then, and the location was rather awkward. To repair it, the entire turret and power must be removed, and the cost is no less than half the cost.

Although the Navy built this and that in the past few years, it was actually limited by the overall military expenditure and life was tight, so it could only be simple reinforced and could not be replaced as a whole, resulting in insufficient structural strength. Although it was able to fight, it was no longer suitable to be on the battlefield. So until recently, the Navy had sufficient funds that the two ships were sent to Huludao and Dalian Shipyards for renovation at the beginning of the year. However, as other main ships were in place, they were no longer needed to line up, so Bingwen proposed to simply replace them with the latest power system, appropriately reduce the armor, and transform them into air defense hunting ships with speeds of up to 33 knots, specifically accompanied by aircraft carriers or hunting cruisers in complex island waters such as the South China Sea.

Like Yang Qiu, Jiang Fangzhen was basically blinded by the navy, so he always felt that it was better to sell these two ships while it was still valuable. But Chen Shaokuan was reluctant to leave now. With Bingwen's new idea, especially in the future, he had to face the heavy cruiser group of the Japanese Navy in the future, and the idea of ​​selling the ship was already out of the sky. But when he was about to close his big mouth around him, a copper whistle sounded on the deck.

The time is coming out of the dock!

"Is this good-looking? What about this posture? If you don't take photos, what are you looking at...ah! What is that?!" On the sightseeing embankment along the river across the Yangtze River, Chen Xiaoming from Hangzhou University was preparing to take a photo of his girlfriend. But when his girlfriend posed in the most beautiful posture, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the dock that was slowly opened across the river. He stared at the Shandong, which was showing his majestic posture little by little with the help of three high-power tugboats and several water diversion boats.

He was the majoring in ship manufacturing and immediately realized something, so he raised his camera and took a lot of shots. "Ah! Being dying, it's all done. This kind of color film is very expensive!" Although the girl was heartbroken with film, her face was filled with a smile that was even more excited than Chen Xiaoming.

As the entire warship was exposed to the sun an hour later, both sides of the Pujiang River were in surprise and excitement.

"God, that's... Allah's warship?"

"Look! Students, come and see! It's a new naval battleship. Look at the cannons... it's too thick!"

"Waiting for me...I will be able to take the Naval School next year!"

"I just knew! Haha... How could our president and the navy lose to Japan? 12 goals! Haha... 4 more cannons than Japan's Nagato!"

"The great god Amaterasu is here, and finally let me keep the secret until it appears. Three doors, six doors, nine...what? 12 doors, 16 inches!"

"Dingling... the new battleship. I know. What! Say it again, it is now estimated that it has exceeded 50,000 tons? 12 16-inch naval guns? God! Get ready for the car, go and prepare the car!"

A small half of Shanghai was alarmed by the appearance of the Shandong, especially when the power-on chimney was rolling black smoke, and then slowly drove along the Pujiang River to the new Chongming Island Factory of Jiangnan Group, the sightseeing embankment on both sides was even more crowded. Countless people waved their arms to the warships and shouted loudly. The flashing spotlights were even denser than the press conference, and in the end, even the road was blocked. There were even several buses stop so that the passengers in the car could enjoy the spectacular scene.

"Navy! It's our navy!"

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!..." Hundreds of students spontaneously sang the national anthem. It seemed that only in this way could they vent their excitement and enthusiasm for the power of their motherland. At this moment, old Beiyang people such as Sa Zhenbing were even more full of tears. In the hearts of many people, no matter how many aircraft carriers or warships were built, they could not replace a giant ship, especially the meaning of a super battleship that overshadowed the old enemy Japan.

This means that since the Japanese Navy swept across the South China Sea, concerns about coastal and national coastal defense disappeared with the official appearance of the powerful Shandong.

"Thank you, Zi'an." Standing on the viewing platform, watching people's enthusiasm for battleships and the loud national anthem, Yang Qiu couldn't help but thank Yue Peng, who advised him to build the Shandong-class. Now, what Yue Peng said is right, whether to use battleships or not. It doesn't matter whether they are used as aces. In the era when aircraft carriers have not yet been able to seize power, even if they have shown a strong air force to the world, there is still nothing that can replace the status of a super battleship in the hearts of the people. Especially in China, a country like China, which was knocked on the door with a cannon with a crushing defeat in the Beiyang, and almost lost its national fortune, needs to use super battleships to regain dignity!

Yue Peng smiled. He didn't say anything. As usual, he was low-key, had little words, and never interfered with politics, but he made people feel at ease and calm. Yang Qiu looked at him and was very happy that he could have such a famous general at the level of Dinghai Shenjian.

"Let's go, go back early, maybe there's a lot of people at the door."

After all, war is about to begin, and a battleship that will take more than a year to serve can at most deter Japan, and will not help the Northwest and Persian Gulf at all. He said goodbye to Jin Jiu and others who saw the powerful armed forces and gave up. He also took care of Chen Guofu and led everyone to continue to go around the country. Yang Qiu and Yue Peng took a plane back to Beijing.

Just as soon as the landing was landed, several closed black bulletproof jeeps surrounded. After the plane stopped, Wang Zhengting and Song Ziqing quickly arrived, and the latter immediately handed over the information, with a solemn expression: "President! This is the information I just received. Last night, Stalin signed a transfer order from the General Staff of the Soviet Army. Voroshilov was appointed as the Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, and Budoni was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Army. Kiril Afanasievich Mei was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Soviet Army.

Leckov is the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Front, Konev is the commander-in-chief of the Persian Front, Alexander Novikov is the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus aviation, Lemezov is the commander-in-chief of the Central Asian Front, Pavlov is the commander-in-chief of the Uzbek Front, Zhukov is the commander-in-chief of the Siberian Front, Kulik is the commander-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Front, Ziganov takes over the Afghan and Indian Fronts, and Apanashenko is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater!

......... This is the three-day statistics of intelligence officers from various places. By midnight last night, there were 277 armies passing through Tabriz on the Sui border within 72 hours! 566 armies going east through Chelyabinsk! 312 armies going east through the Aral Sea! 211 armies going east through Ashgabat! 117 ships of various types sent to the Iran Caspian Sea Port! 933 fighter jets of various types arrived in Iran! And... Two KV1 heavy tank regiments and four tank regiments equipped with the latest T34 tanks set off yesterday afternoon."

"The expected target...Iran!"
