    Outside Beilun Port, a string of four-wheeled light trucks drove past. Chen Shaokuan and Yan Baohang, who were sitting in the jeep, couldn't help but pay attention.  Hangzhou Bay in early August is the busiest season. Since the national production of large and medium-sized trucks is occupied by the military and aviation, it is difficult to find a medium-sized and large truck on the market.  This situation has severely damaged the national automobile industry, but it has promoted the development of small automobile factories. Last year alone, ten civilian automobile factories were registered across the country, and their main products are such light trucks of about half a ton.  The prosperity brought about by the war was abnormal. After young people and professional workers were drafted into the army one after another, it inevitably caused a shortage of skilled workers. In addition, every factory was desperately trying to expand production capacity, and the worker gap and wartime bubble began to intensify.  Economists have already made worrying predictions. Due to the wartime economy's destruction of the free market economy, all major factories and civilian enterprises in the country are actually working for the military and the government. The orders are large but the profits are meager. What is left after paying wages.  Not much, resulting in insufficient investment in industrial technology.  After the unlimited expansion of production capacity, once the war is over, there will inevitably be a wave of surplus. Waves of unemployment, veterans, etc. will all break out after the war. No one, not even Yang Qiu, can predict whether the economy of the Republic of China will go backwards or forward at that time.  Therefore, when he was busy with military affairs, he insisted on coming to Hangzhou Bay to inspect the implementation progress of the 100,000 small factory plan.  One Hundred Thousand Small Factories was an important economic policy proposed before the war. It hoped to use the war to speed up the industrialization process and prepare for absorbing unemployed and retired soldiers after the war. It was also an important measure to compete for future exports in the world market.  According to the plan, the industrial sector will distribute all the hundreds of thousands of machine tools and equipment in domestic inventory to qualified individual workshops and small factories, use military orders to help them develop, and use market competition to gradually eliminate them.  According to projections from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, even if only 20,000 small factories remain in the end, they will be able to absorb nearly one million unemployed workers and veterans.  It can also greatly promote the popularity of industry in the Republic of China.  Of course, 100,000 small factories are just the beginning. What is more important is whether commodity exports can be smooth after the war. This is also an important reason why Yang Qiu devoted himself to the Asian League and included commodity exports in the Cairo Declaration.  Asia is the most populous state in the world, and combined with the population of the Republic of China, as long as it can be firmly grasped, exports can be greatly promoted even if Europe and the United States remain unchanged.

    The Republic of China is not invincible.  While the army was victorious, internal pressure gradually emerged.  Moreover, the economy of the Republic of China should be said to be in the transition period from a planned economy to a full market economy. It could neither achieve Soviet-style high efficiency nor achieve the full marketization of the United States.  So this is a difficult time, but Yang Qiu will not go back.  Although the efficiency of the planned economy during wartime was terrifying, it did too much harm to the country. The efficiency of full marketization would be lower, especially for a country like the Republic of China that had just entered industrialization, but the prospects were undoubtedly brighter.  The three five-year plans laid the foundation, and then the transition from planning to freedom was adopted, and the strategy of retreating from the country and advancing by the people was adopted.  Protect private capital, strengthen 100,000 small factories again, transform Asian resources into Republic of China manufacturing, and export Republic of China goods to the Asian market. Finally, we will gradually transfer low-tech industries to Southeast Asia and Central Asia to realize Asian oil integration.  Realizing the Asianization of the Republic of China, monopolizing the Asian market with the most popular companies, and competing for export rights to Europe and the United States. This is the industrialization path Yang Qiu envisioned in his heart.  But he's not sure exactly how far he can go because he's not an economic expert.  He can only lay as good a foundation as possible so that latecomers can operate more calmly.

    When the two arrived at the industrial area.  Yang Qiuzheng took Bei Zuyi and others to inspect the small factories one by one.  After thirty years of development, especially after it was sold to an American company for construction before the economic crisis, and then recovered at a low price by taking advantage of the economic crisis, Hangzhou Bay has now formed the largest small and medium-sized industrial and commercial base in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, ranging from heavy steelmaking, shipbuilding, oil smelting, to textiles and clothing  From light industry to emerging new technology industries such as electronic communications, there are all kinds of industries.  The One Hundred Thousand Small Factory Plan was the most important national economic construction project during the entire war, so Yang Qiu's requirements were very strict.  The factory owners were also very grateful for the state's support, so after the vehicles drove into the industrial area, banners welcoming the president were everywhere, and workers packed the factory area just to take a look at Yang Qiu.

    When the two arrived, Yang Qiu had already finished the inspection and was taking photos with the factory masters.  Yang Qiu's lips stiffened after taking nearly a hundred photos together. When he saw the two of them touching their cheeks with their hands, he guessed: "If you come together, are you going to do something in the future?"

    Yan Baohang first said: "The telegram from Tokyo to Yokosuka was intercepted the night before. The telegram said that Tojo Hideki has been officially appointed as the new prime minister. Yesterday afternoon, a total of about 20 submarines from Yokosuka, Kobe and other places left the port.  The whereabouts are unknown. Previously intercepted telegrams contained news that the Japanese navy will go to the Ogasawara Islands in two weeks to hold joint exercises, including the newly formed First Air Fleet, First Fleet, Third Fleet, and Sixth Fleet. Combining these  It seems that the signs of Japan's active attack are very obvious. In addition, this morning one of our reconnaissance planes also discovered about twenty Zero Fighters and twenty Type 97 bombers heading to Miyako Island east of Taiwan. Hakodate  There are also frequent aircraft movements in places such as Japan, Ryukyu, North Korea and Sasebo, and Type 97 in the direction of Manila.There are more than two hundred bombers.  Judging from the total number, from Manila to Hakodate, plus carrier-based aircraft on various aircraft carriers, a total of about 1,400 fighter aircraft have gathered in my country's overseas waters, which is equivalent to half of Japan's total number of front-line military aircraft.  Aircraft manufacturing plants such as Nakajima, Mitsubishi, and Kawasaki have all received tasks to speed up aircraft construction. According to our estimates, after this increase in production, Japan's aircraft manufacturing volume will soon exceed the thousand aircraft per month mark. The Japanese Navy  The aircraft manufacturing plant being built in Rabaul has also started deliveries and is expected to produce 100 aircraft per month.  "

    After the European War, China and Japan competed fiercely in the field of national defense.  After the Republic of China took the aviation road, Japan did not slow down in catching up despite its poor technology. It not only imported technology from Germany, Italy, the United States and other countries, but also maintained a large number of personnel.  The total number of military aircraft of all types in the country exceeds 4,000, even higher than that of the United Kingdom and the United States.  However, this cannot be said to say that Japan's manufacturing industry is strong. It can only be said that, like the Republic of China, it took advantage of the early start.  "We are definitely going to take action! Judging from these movements, Japan probably also knows that it is not safe to dispatch a fleet here in the Yellow Sea, so it is preparing to use planes to eat up my first fleet." Chen Shaokuan is far less calm than Yan Baohang. The decisive battle between China and Japan is about to begin.  It is destined to be a stage for naval performances.  Jiang Baili also said next to him: "The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and Russia were fought without Japan declaring it. I bet they definitely want to do it again. The deadline for the Sakhalin Oil Agreement is August 31, so the final  The best time for a sneak attack is five days."

    "How many bombers are there? Once Japan attacks, can they all be intercepted?" Yang Qiu closed the document.

    "About four hundred, but most of the fighter jets can also carry bombs, so Shanghai, Qingdao, Dalian and Taipei are a bit dangerous. But don't worry, President, we have made all the plans. As long as the raid formation is ready,  Just create a dispute in the Soya Strait first, and then use it as an excuse to attack the frontline airport before Japan takes action." Chen Shaokuan knew what Yang Qiu meant, even though the navy and air force had organized dozens of large-scale air raid drills, even if  Even if several times the number of "enemy" interceptor fighters are dispatched during the exercise, it is impossible to ensure that everything is foolproof.

    Yang Qiu continued to ask: "Has the attack plan been prepared? How to arrange the fleet?"

    Chen Shaokuan replied: "Our navy has prepared 220 sea bombers, and special air-dropped torpedoes are stepping up production. After we finish the first wave, He Ning will dispatch 350 bombers to fight the second wave, mainly to bomb Naha and Sasebo  , Bear, Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Seoul, Ulsan and Busan. In terms of the fleet, the heavy cruiser Nanchang and the two light cruisers Tumenjiang and Liaohe have set off to support Fleet 15 in Vladivostok, temporarily attracting Japan's attention to the north.  Go. The main two Beihai-class aircraft carriers and three Beijing-class battleships will remain in Qingdao and wait until the eve of the attack to enter the Bohai Bay for temporary shelter. The remaining ships will go south to Shanghai to protect the Yangtze River Estuary, and the remaining ones will support Taipei. The Second Fleet has already  Seven submarines have entered the Philippine Sea, and 20 more will set off one after another in a week. In seven days, five cargo ships and some ocean-going fishing boats will set off from Taiwan, Ningbo and other places. On the surface, they are sending silk to the United States, or  When they go fishing in the open sea, they will actually send two thousand marines and equipment, as well as equipment for laying field airports and thirty-six thunderbolts to Agrihan Island in the north of Guam. Once bombed here, they will immediately grab it.  Build a field airport on the island. Bing's 23 fleet will cross the Bashi Channel at night to support Agrihan Island. They have two Sichuan-class aircraft carriers and four heavy cruisers. As long as they do not encounter the main force of the Japanese navy, they should be able to ensure air superiority. We are still there  Taiwan, Sanduao and other places have assembled 370 Seahawk four-engine seaplanes and 120 Y-10 aircraft. After Agrihan Island is captured, six submarines transporting commandos will first send special forces up to guide the sea.  The Eagle floatplane first conducted a surprise bombing of the Guam airport, and then airdropped paratroopers and Marines. After completing the mission, the aircraft went directly to Agrihan Island to refuel. As long as the airport is grabbed, the Y-10 can land."

    After listening to Chen Shaokuan's deployment, Jiang Baili also said: "There are less than 10,000 Marines on Guam. They have neither forts nor a few decent heavy firepowers. Even the aircraft are Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets. As long as they attack the airport by surprise,  If successful, 20,000 soldiers can be transported by plane within a week. However, we must be careful on the coast. The southeast is the industrial lifeline of our country. We must intercept Japanese planes as much as possible to reduce citizen panic. It is best to let the navy dispatch ships  Go out for reconnaissance, organize coastal air defense radars and naval radar ships, and form a specialized Southeast Air Defense Command. Once bombed by Japan, let newspapers and reporters go to the scene to mobilize domestic enthusiasm for the war against Japan. Japan's national strength is insufficient,  As long as we insist on conquering Ryukyu in March and May, Southeast Asia will be safe."

    Yang Qiu accepted the suggestion and pondered for a moment before raising his head: "Notify Confucian Hall, the ambassador will ask the reason for the transfer." After saying that, he looked at Chen Shaokuan: "I will give you diplomatic cover, but you and He Ning must try their best.  Ensure the safety of coastal cities.¡±.
