    In other words, as Japan is an island country, the Japanese Navy, the largest in Asia, is its last lifeline at this time. China must understand the concerns and demands of Japanese people for national defense and security. Therefore, as a strong party in the strategic alliance, China cannot develop a navy that is stronger than Japan.  A more powerful navy, of course, in exchange for Japan's promise not to develop an air force that surpasses China's. This era is still the era of cannons, giant ships, machine guns and trenches. For new things like aircraft that have just begun to be used for military purposes, although countries think this is a good thing  , but far from realizing that the air force can also determine the fate and victory or defeat of a battle.

    Seeing that Wang Geng was deep in thought and silent, Tanaka Yi rolled his eyes and turned to the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, saying,

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, China's industrial base is still a little weaker than Japan's. In view of China's domestic aircraft production capacity and scale being insufficient, I suggest that the Chinese government can authorize Japanese aircraft manufacturing companies or automobile factories to also produce Chinese FR18  Excellent fighter.

    In the air battles over Ukraine in the past two days, it was obvious that the battle damage rate of the SE5 and DH4 was much higher than that of the FR18 fighter-bomber developed and produced by China. In this way, Chinese and Japanese companies working together to speed up production should be able to greatly increase aircraft production capacity and make up for the front lines.  The cost of fighting!  What do you think of my suggestion?

    Japanese domestic factories have long hoped to obtain a package of orders for aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles from the Eastern Front Allied Forces. However, the Japanese government has made repeated requests, but the Chinese Ministry of War has refused to agree.  " Tanaka Yiichi felt that since he had spoken, he might as well boldly raise more demands. After bargaining and giving in, it would be good to get the authorized transfer production of a product!

    It¡¯s not surprising at all. In the years after the birth of aircraft, most early aircraft used car engines. Only later did specialized aero engines appear. However, those who produced aircraft and aircraft engines, whether it was Rolls-Royce or Albatross,  Or Mercedes, they are all car manufacturers, and American General Motors or Buick produced a large number of military aircraft for the Allied Powers during World War I.

    "Sir Tanaka, we are just soldiers. It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. Such national events must be directly negotiated by the two governments," Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile while holding his chin.

    Jiang Hongyu nodded in agreement. Tanaka Yiyi's face turned red when he was so squeezed, but he was speechless for a moment. He almost roared in his heart, saying that the negotiations between the two countries were purely prevaricating and deceiving people.  Well, where can the negotiation between the two governments come from? At this moment, not only is the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front dominated by the King of China, but the same is not true within the Sino-Japanese Alliance. Wang Geng refuses to let go. Who can the Japanese Army Ministry look for in Beijing to negotiate?  It¡¯s no use either!

    "Your Excellency Tanaka, the military production capacity is indeed a bottleneck at present. Fortunately, the new factories of China Fuda Automobile Manufacturing Company and China Aircraft Manufacturing Company in Yekaterinburg have laid the foundation and started construction in early July, and have started debugging production equipment.  Assembling trial production and assembly of tanks, armored vehicles and vehicles equipped by the coalition forces, including, of course, the Chinese FR18 fighter-bomber, can begin as soon as the end of August.

    It is estimated that production will officially start in September. Speaking of industrial base, Yekaterinburg is the heavy steel industry and military production base of Tsarist Russia. The conditions are quite good in all aspects. I don¡¯t think there is any need to look far away and put the production capacity in Japan.  Went to China!  "

    Wang Geng smiled and answered Tanaka Yiichi's request in an understatement. This surprised Jiang Hongyu. He glanced at his commander-in-chief and thought that these details and secrets of military industry production were not allowed to be disclosed easily.  Well, why did the commander-in-chief tell Tanaka himself today?

    Of course Wang Geng knew what Jiang Hongyu meant by this glance. He smiled and said to Tanaka who was a little surprised, Jiang Fangzhen who was a little surprised, and Jiang Hongyu who was a little confused,

    "Since China and Japan are in alliance, we must focus our efforts in one place. Not only will we establish a second coalition steel ordnance production base in Yekaterinaburg, but we will also build a second joint steel ordnance production base in Tsaritsyn and Saratov starting in August.  We also need to expand a steel, oil and ordnance production base in the Volga Federation. Of course, time is very tight. Fortunately, the heavy industry foundations of Tsaritsyn and Saratov are also quite good, and the recruitment and training of local workers and engineering technicians are also very good.  easy."

    "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Sogar, as a member of the Sino-Japanese Alliance, the Japanese government and the Ministry of War should also be notified of these matters in a timely manner, and Japanese steel and ordnance companies should also participate. All for the sake of China and Japan.  To contribute to the future of the Grand Alliance, as the former Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese Ministry of War, I ask you to consider allowing Japan to play a greater role in the construction of Western Siberia and the Volga Federation! Please agree!"

    Tanaka Yi lowered his head one by one and made a gesture of supplication. The 55-year-old general almost cried and wiped his tears. Jiang Hongyu and Jiang Fangzhen were both surprised when they saw this. Wang Geng smiled and held Tanaka in his hand.  Yiyi's hand said, "General's Pavilion"??, there will be bread. The reason why some things were not immediately known to Japan and participated in was mainly because they were afraid that the Germans would steal the secrets. At this stage, we still have to keep a low profile, Ekaterina.  The arsenal and automobile and aircraft manufacturing branches of the fort are all under strict confidentiality management, and the ones in Tsaritsyn and Saratov will be no exception in the future."

    July 29, 1918, 10:40? Allied Forces Headquarters, Samara

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, even if you give up the domestic production of tanks, armored vehicles, military vehicles and aircraft for the coalition forces due to the long distance, you should at least allow large Japanese military enterprises to participate in investment and set up factories. Japan's efforts in Western Siberia  The Sino-Japanese alliance should be rewarded accordingly for its efforts. Don¡¯t forget that the three divisions of Japan are currently stationed in the treasure land of Western Siberia. The imperial people have made great contributions to the peace and stability of Western Siberia.  !¡±

    Tanaka Yiichi, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, commander of the Japanese 1st Army, and commander of the 8th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the coalition forces, said with a blushing face.

    Wang Geng raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was obvious that the 55-year-old former Japanese Army Deputy Chief of Staff General Tanaka was a little unscrupulous in his anxiety. Although Western Siberia has established an autonomous government of the same nature as the Volga Federation, in fact it belongs to China.  The joint trusteeship of the Japanese Alliance is deeper than that of the Volga Federation. The three Japanese divisions stationed in the vast western Siberia are just to appease the Japanese government and the public, so that the empire can smoothly expand its territory in the west.  There is only circumstantial evidence for the statement.
