Ma Yinchu was excited because he could break the National Bank's plan, while Yang Rui was worried that the Japanese had broken the London treaty. Although the Japanese representatives in charge of negotiations in London, Reijiro Wakaguchi's cabinet, and the Navy representative, Tsaibuki, basically agreed to the United Kingdom-US proposal that the tonnage ratio of heavy cruisers in China and Japan and the United States, the United States' heavy cruisers and light cruisers are basically the same as the tonnage ratio of the main ships, roughly set to 6:10. The heavy cruisers have been built before, and Japan has built eight ships, and four are being built, which means that the United States will eventually allow the construction of forty ships; the tonnage of a single light cruiser is limited to within 2,000 tons, and the tonnage is approximately 180,000 tons in China and Japan to 240,000 tons in the United States.

But this ratio is unacceptable to the Japanese Navy. After the 6:10 ratio is enlarged, the number of American heavy cruisers is far greater than that of China and Japan. Once the American livestock attacks, the Japanese Navy will suffer heavy losses. Whether to demolish some cruisers and overwhelm the number of heavy cruisers is 16 to 26, the Japanese Navy is considering whether to demolish some cruisers and overwhelm the number of heavy cruisers; at the same time, the tough anti-treasury factions do not want to accept the 6:10 ratio given by Britain and the United States. Kato and Hiroji Kato hope that the heavy cruise ratio will be 7:10, which has a serious conflict with the representatives of the Hamaguchi Cabinet. When the emperor in China cannot break the holy, the Japanese ran to Liaodong to hope that Yang Rui would influence the Chinese delegation to ultimately support their ideas.

This is the case with Japan's abacus, but Yang Rui didn't care at all whether it was 7:10 or 6:10. As for the wealthy American Empire, if he really wanted to start a war, he would never get stuck in the naval treaty to build ships. Then there would be a Pearl Harbor-like surprise attack? The best man must have started the war machine to build a ship for two or three years, and then covered the sky and the sky, and it would turn into 3:10 or 6:10 at that time, it would turn into 3:10, 4:10. Is it necessary to fight for 7 or 6?

Of course, the treaty was not too smooth for China. The Japanese Navy was dissatisfied with the proportion of cruisers. The Chinese Navy was dissatisfied with the proportion of submarines: Although the tonnage of the three-way submarines was the same, the tonnage of the submarines of China and Japan had exceeded 100,000 tons. The treaty was limited to more than 52,000 tons, which was equivalent to dismantling half of the submarines; in addition, the tonnage of a single submarine cannot exceed 2,000 tons, which is still too small for the vast Pacific Ocean. Finally, the inspection problems caused by tonnage restrictions are also troublesome. The subsequent submarines of the Chinese Navy will be improved versions of the German XXi type, such as artillery without artillery, water droplet shape, sound silence tiles, snorkels, snorkels... These things are really not allowed to be inspected by the British and American inspection teams.

China and Japan each have their own worries. Looking at the chief of staff of Fushimi Miyagi Hiroko and his followers, Shintaro Shimada, the chief of staff of the Japanese Navy Joint Fleet, Yang Rui had no choice but to smile and wait until the Japanese finished speaking. He said: "Your Highness, this treaty limit is only cruisers and submarines. Moreover, although the submarine tonnage is not satisfactory, at least everyone is the same. What are we worried about? After all, the tonnage of the main ship has been determined long ago, and we still have an advantage on the aircraft carrier..."

In the Japanese Navy, because of their different attitudes towards the Treaty in Washington, they are divided into anti-treason factions (military and political factions, similar to the Ministry of Defense) and treaty factions (military order factions, similar to the General Staff); and because of their different attitudes towards the theory of winning aircraft carriers, they are divided into fleet factions and aircraft carrier factions. Among these types of people, the anti-treason factions and fleet factions roughly overlap, and the treaty factions are similar to the aircraft carrier factions, such as Yamamoto Iroku is both an aircraft carrier faction and a treaty faction.

Yang Rui's naval tactical thoughts were clear about King Hiroki Fumimiya. The Chinese Navy was based on this idea, but in the eyes of many Japanese naval officers, such a desperate bet was simply a madman. It is precisely because of this that although the Sino-Japanese alliance has been in the past ten years, the naval joint cooperation has always been inferior to the army. When the army is gradually unifying the caliber of weapons and regulations within the army, the navy of the two countries has difficulty even the joint command of the two navies. The Chinese Navy believes that battleships are just bodyguards of aircraft carriers, while the Japanese Navy believes that aircraft carriers are just eyeliners of battleships, and no one is convinced of any other.

Hearing Yang Rui's tone seemed to agree to signing the treaty, Fumimigu was a little discouraged. He looked at Yang Rui and said, "Your Excellency, but until now, the plane still cannot sink the battleship!"

"Can't you sink?" Yang Rui looked at him and smiled. Unlike history, Japan's aviation industry has been established entirely with China's help, which makes Japan Airlines completely step behind China's engines, and even more so. After weighing it in his mind, Yang Rui said: "Now aircraft cannot sink battleships because the engine power is insufficient, the speed is slow and the ammunition is limited. But if the engine power is increased, the result will be very different. Now Taiyuan has developed an engine with a power of more than 1,000 horsepower. Using this engine, the aircraft's speed will exceed 500 kilometers per hour. It will not be difficult to sink battleships in the future."

Yang Rui revealed the secrets of Taiyuan aircraft engines. The horsepower of more than a thousand is already at the level before World War II, but this did not satisfy him. He believed that the engine should have at least two thousand horsepower. Yang Rui said this. Shimada Shintaro, who had already had a thousand horsepower engine, was moved and said: "Isn't this twice the engine power now?" Before he could praise, he saw that Fushimi Miyagi Hakukyu was indifferent to this, and immediately changed his words: "But the aircraft is still too fragile. As long as the anti-aircraft artillery is enough, the warship can still withstand the attack of the aircraft. You, take the liberty to say that the real function of the air carrier is to cover the warship for the final decisive battle."

"Haha, is that?" Yang Rui didn't care that others did not agree with the theory of aircraft carrier victory. At this time, Japan did not talk about the doubts about the aircraft, but even China had many oppositions. He smiled and said, "What I can be sure of is that once a new aircraft equipped with this kind of engine destroys the enemy aircraft carrier or aviation power, the enemy warships are just their living targets. Even if the battleships are built to 50,000 tons, what can it do? Dozens of high-explosive bombs wash the deck, and more than ten torpedoes hit one side of the attack, so they have to sink."

Yang Rui said the ending of Yamato Musashi in memory, which only made Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo King's face tighter and his face turned black. As a determined fleet decisive faction, he must refute such a straightforward battleship judgment, but due to Yang Rui's identity, he could only endure this tone. He interrupted Shimada, who was about to refute, and said in a voice: "Your Excellency, if there is really a 50,000-ton battleship, its armor protection level will definitely make the aircraft attack fruitless."

"Is that true? One thousand horsepower is not the final power of the aircraft engine. In ten years, the power of the aircraft engine will reach 2,000 horses. The weight of the bomb exceeds 800 kilograms, and the torpedo delivery conditions will be better..." Yang Rui took out a chart provided by the General Staff Navy Office and said: "This is our summary of the dropping bombs by dive bombers. Even for 7.25 inches of armor, dive bombers can penetrate it with 800 kilograms of bombs from a height of 5,000 meters. Your Highness, you should be very clear about how many inches of deck can the warship be laid on the deck. Take a step back and say that even if the bomb cannot penetrate horizontal armor, it can clear all air defense firepower on the deck. Once these air defense firepower are lacking, how can the warship resist the aircraft's intensive torpedo attack?"

"Your Excellency..." When the unspeakable King Fushimimiya Hirokyo wanted to completely seal himself up, Shintaro Shimada said again: "The aircraft must carry 800 kilograms of bombs to dive from a height of 5,000 meters. It will take a very long time for this kind of aircraft to be manufactured. The engine of the aircraft can be improved. The protective armor of the warship can also be improved. Sometimes the spear is sharp between the spear, and sometimes the shield is strong. How can you completely give up the shield because of the temporary sharpness of the spear?"

Those who can be the chief of staff are naturally quick to think. Seeing Yang Rui speaking with data, Shintaro Shimada immediately compared spears and shields, which only made Fumimiya Hirokyo King breathe a sigh of relief, while Yang Rui's eyebrows froze. He looked at Shintaro Shimada and said, "From more than 20 years of invention, the speed of progress of the aircraft is far beyond the level of warships that can be tied to. In another twenty years, the aircraft engines are no longer propeller-type but jet-type, which is agreed by people in the aviation industry in Europe. At that time, the speed and power of jet aircraft will be much higher than that of propeller-type aircraft, and bombs are no longer measured in kilograms but tons. What shields can warships have to resist dive bombs of more than two tons?"

After Yang Rui said that, he looked at the Japanese again. Fushimiya still looked like he was 'I just can't listen'; Shinda Shintaro's eyes were rolling around. He wanted to find a reason to refute. Yang Rui said again: "I know that many people equate the path the Chinese navy is now with the path the French navy had taken before, and some people even thought that China always mentioned the theory of aircraft carrier victory because it wanted to seize the command of the Sino-Japanese Joint Fleet..., haha. Who said that the advantage of your navy is battleships, and the Chinese navy specializes in aviation combat? It is not a mistake to have such an idea. But ignoring technological progress will only bring heavy consequences. Compared with the United States, our industrial strength is far behind. If we are still behind in tactics, there will be no hope of victory."

"Then you think that you should build aircraft carriers without building battleships, which can be restricted by treaties..." Unlike Fushimijiya, this is the first time Shimada met Yang Rui. He was still very interested in this person who is known as the number one military strategist in Asia.

"Our industrial level is rising, while the US industry is declining. The day when the treaty expires is the day when the United States withdraws from the treaty. Once we are completely relaxed, it is not our benefit but the United States. Our only feasible strategy is to build more aircraft carriers ourselves, and at the same time find ways to make the United States build more battleships..."

Yang Rui's strategy made Fushimijiya shut up again. This strategy seemed to him to seek death, but Yang Rui didn't know what he thought, and said to himself: "The United States is not Russia. The Russian Baltic Fleet launched a trial and could not have a second decisive battle after annihilation. The United States is different. Even if we annihilate the main force of the US Pacific Fleet for the first time, the United States, who understands the importance of aircraft carriers in two years, will create an aircraft carrier that we cannot reach. The decisive battle at that time was the most difficult."

"But the Americans will not fight at all!" Shimada Shintaro said about what all the Japanese officers were talking about. The US Army's behavior in the fight made this statement deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Americans won't fight?" Yang Rui laughed at Shintaro Shimada, and was also worried that the Revival Army had established enough prestige against the victory of the Japanese Army and the German Army, so that the Japanese Army generals had no objection to the idea of ​​mechanized combat. However, the Revival Army Navy did not have enough achievements to suppress the Japanese Navy that won the victory against the Mahai War, so it is now full of contradictions.

"The more technology progresses, the more war will evolve into a confrontation between industrial strength and technological level. At this point, especially industrial strength, we only reach one-third of the Americans at most. So I have always believed that the tonnage ratio involved in the Navy Treaty is all floating ice on the water surface. The real problem is that industrial strength and technological level under the water surface. We do not have the advantage of these two points. Even if the tonnage of warships is one to one? Will the Americans surrender or seek peace after a decisive battle?"

Yang Rui said. "The reason why the US team has made no achievements is that the US team has never fought long-term wars, except for civil wars. Moreover, for a country that is mostly Christian Puritans, we should not doubt the sacrifice of its soldiers. The war between China and Japan and the United States is by no means a war to seize colonies, it will only be a replica of the Crusades. In the eyes of those American soldiers, they are not fighting for the colonies or for their own interests. They are fighting against the devil and can go to heaven after death. To say that such an army has no combat power, it is simply an insult to people's IQ..."

Fushimiya's ears were half closed and half open this time, while Shimada was a little blushed. When he wanted to refute, Yang Rui stopped arguing. He only said: "Heilongjiang oilfield is about to be mined. If conditions permit, I can convince the local lord to allow the Japanese Navy to invest in the oilfield."

Although the reserves of the Sakhalin Island oil field are "rich", the oil is buried too deeply, so that the Japanese feel deceived. In the large-scale procurement that started last year, when the Chinese were drilling rigs and oil pipelines, everyone guessed that the reserves of the Heilongjiang oil field were amazing. This time, the other one of the oil fields came in addition to the treaty. He hoped that Yang Rui could allow the company led by the Right Japanese Navy to invest in the oil field. At this time, when he heard that Yang Rui took the initiative to talk about the oil field, Fumishimi Miyabu's ears were opened. He said: "Your Excellency, how much production will the oil field have?" He was worried that Yang Rui would have a long-term future. He said: "How much production can there be in this ten years?"

"At least two thousand tons!" Yang Rui looked at the Japanese with two fingers, only thinking that they were too second. "After completion, the annual output of oil is at least two thousand tons, I can make the decision. I will give up 800 tons to Japan. The shares of the Japanese Navy are set to be 800 tons. If not enough, I can give up the production capacity belonging to China. I will sell it to Japan at the actual cost of the oil field."

"Ah..." Fushimimiya couldn't help it, her eyes lit up again and again. Eight hundred tons had completely met Japan's current demand for oil, which was forty times the output of Sakhalin Island. "Your Excellency..." He swallowed, "Your Excellency, what are the conditions?"

"The conditions are very simple, that is, the construction, use, training, and related naval aviation construction of Japan's 80,000-ton aircraft carrier tonnage are included in the Chinese naval management system, so that the two countries' naval forces can work closely together and integrate them." Yang Rui said, "When the Washington Navy Treaty expires, if no one can convince anyone, then just have a practical exercise. When the aircraft carrier wins, the navies of the two countries will build aircraft carriers in the future, and vice versa."

"Your Excellency, is it a simple battleship fleet against the air carrier fleet?" Fushimimiya Hiroko was still thinking, while Shimada Shintaro raised his own question. "My my country's view is not that the air carrier is useless, but that the air carrier and the battleship are combined..."

"It's not a combination, it's an aircraft covering the battleships to fight, right?" Yang Rui corrected in time.

"It's true." Shintaro Shimada nodded and admitted. At this time, no one in the Japanese Navy except Navy Colonel Inoue, no one dared to ignore the importance of the battleship, including Major General Izuru Yamamoto, who was the highest rank and was once the captain of the Tenchon aircraft carrier. In actual combat exercises, the Japanese battleship fleet must not lack aircraft carriers.

"That's fine. The exercise will be based on six aircraft carriers of our country and Truk Island in the Pacific Ocean as its base, and fought with the main force of the Japanese navy based on Japanese Single Kung Bay. The two sides will compete for the sea control of the Iwo Jima waters. Once our Marine Corps lands at Iwo Jima Airport, land-based bombers can attack the entire Japan, so it is a victory to occupy Iwo Jima Airport. What do you think about this exercise?" Yang Rui thought for a brief moment and agreed to Shimada's conditions. When the treaty expired, Japan had only four aircraft carriers at most, namely, two large aircraft carriers of Tiancheng and Akagi, and Ryukaki, who was still in the shipyard, and Japan's first aircraft carrier Fengxiang. As for the remaining 15,000 tons of tonnage margin after the construction of Ryukagi, it cannot be built during the actual exercise.

According to the standard carrier-based aircraft of the two ships in Tiancheng Akagi, there are 144 ships in Longxiang, and 24 ships in Fengxiang, and only 189 ships in Fengxiang; while the design volume of each of the six aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy is 72. At that time, the carrier-based aircraft that can significantly fold the wings will be replaced and deck-tied. The number of single-ship carrier-based aircraft can be increased to 80 to 84, and a total of more than 480 aircraft can definitely carry the Japanese Navy ships.

Yang Rui was already an invitation to fight. Shimada Shintaro thought quickly and looked at Fushimiya Hirokyo. He finally struggled and said, "Since the Japanese side is defending, it is necessary to use the island's airport and set up a certain number of air teams and army."

"Our Navy is simulating the attack of the US Navy. The scale and time of the Japanese side are generally clear. It would be meaningless to arrange land-based aircraft." Yang Rui retorted. "Besides, the Japanese Navy cannot rely on the protection net of land-based aircraft. There are airports on Iwo Jima, but are there airports on other islands?"

Even though there are only 42 aircraft carrier-based aircraft in China, the number of Fumimiya Hiroki can still be calculated. However, after stopping Shimada, who still has to fight for favorable conditions for his side, he asked: "Your Excellency, how can you determine whether the attacking aircraft has been shot down based on rubber bullets and lime powder shells alone?"

"Live ammunition is fine," Yang Rui flashed a cold light and said, "Our army's training and exercises stipulate the casualty rate, so there is no need to worry about casualties, but the plane is not afraid of shooting down. How can the warship prove that it has been sunk by the plane? You can't get live ammunition?"

Each battleship is the lifeblood of the Japanese Navy. When he heard that the two bigwigs were going to play, Shintaro Shimada immediately smoothed out and said, "Your Highness, we have five or six years left. There will always be a solution at that time! There will always be a solution!"

"No, if you don't use live ammunition, how can you achieve actual combat results?" Fushimi Miyaki Hiroko pushed Shintaro Shimada away with one hand and every time he listened to Yang Rui's promotion of the aircraft carrier's victory theory, he was not very good at speaking and had to be proficient in etiquette, so he could only keep his ears shut. If a practical exercise is actually similar to actual combat will be the best counterattack against Yang Rui's point of view. "If as you said, the battleship is outdated, then being sunk will be the final fate of the battleship, but the time has been earlier, and there is nothing to be a pity. I will report this to the emperor in person, so don't bother."

"Your Highness the Prince is so courageous!" Yang Rui, who was very upset by the Japanese navy's diehards and had long wanted to beat the Japanese, highly praised Fushimiya for being so sensible. "Then let's settle the matter. The exercise time will be in the 25th year of Shenwu. The framework is the framework I just mentioned. At that time, everyone will have real guns and live ammunition, and they will have a good duel and compete with each other!"

"A word is determined!" Fushimigu raised his hand and said, "He wanted to swear by Yang Rui's high-fives."

"A word is certain!" Yang Rui clenched him and said with a sigh. (To be continued.)
