Chapter 511: Lao Luo's Anger
The past 1935 was a rough year.
As for the Han Empire, because of Han Ling's foreign policy, the Han Empire did not join any party, but existed in this war as a neutral and arms dealer.
They all purchased weapons and equipment from the Han Empire.
The Han Empire has become a country that sells arms for the sake of interests. It does not stand on either side, but only exists in the way of interests.
In 1935, except for the Portuguese civil war, the arms race around the world is still in progress.
When it entered 1936, the arms race around the world entered a new climax.
First of all, Xiaomou took over the Jewish wealth in 1935, and Xiaomou's hands suddenly became abundant.
Xiaomoustache, who had sufficient funds, first repaid the money owed to the Han Empire, and then expanded the air force and army again, purchased a large number of Type 28 fighter jets and Type 29 medium tanks from the Han Empire, and prepared to form a group of armored clusters.
Britain and France are also constantly expanding their arms and preparing to deal with the upcoming war below.
At the same time, France has invested more money on his Magino defense line, and now France has invested seven billion francs on the Magino defense line.
In history, he only invested 5 billion francs, but now because Xiaowang's army expansion speed is faster than in history and his weapons are sharper than in history, so France has also increased the budget for the Maginot line of defense.
As for the United States, after three years of governance and rectification under Luo Luo, the United States finally began to get rid of the economic crisis, the national economy began to rise rapidly, and the unemployment rate decreased greatly.
In the East, with the efforts of all the officials and people of the Han Empire, the national strength of the Han Empire was rapidly increasing.
In 1936, it also entered the last year of the Second and Third Plans. In the previous year, the politics, military, culture and economy of the Han Empire developed rapidly.
Among them, in 1936, the annual steel output of the Han Empire reached 26 million tons.
According to the Ministry of Industry of the Great Han Empire, by the end of 1936, the annual steel output of the Great Han Empire would reach about 32 million tons.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, the American economy has begun to recover, and its industrial capacity has also begun to recover.
At the height of the economic crisis, the annual steel output in the United States was only 28 million tons. Now, in early 1936, the annual steel output in the United States had reached about 36 million tons, according to the Ministry of Industry of the Han Empire's Ministry of Industry for the American industry.
By the end of 1936, his annual steel production would exceed 40 million tons.
Han Ling knew about these data and understood that this was just the reason why the American economy was recovering and their industry was also beginning to recover.
Interestingly, after the American economy began to recover, Lao Luo also understood that the current world situation had become very tense. It is possible that a war would occur at any time, so he submitted several proposals to the domestic market to expand the army, navy, air force and other troops.
But they were all beaten back by those members of Congress. Their reason was: instead of wasting money on these things at this time, it would be better to support a few more companies and improve the American economy.
For American Congressmen, whose isolationism prevails, war is too far away from them.
They believe that with the protection of two oceans, America is extremely safe, and no country can reach the mainland of America.
Although these MPs’ cooking makes people scold them for being stupid, some of their ideas are good.
For example: The life of the young man in America is precious and should not be sacrificed for the fearless war.
Regardless of the truth or falsehood of such remarks, at least this people-oriented concept is correct.
"These damn bastards! The whole world is preparing for the upcoming war, but they still think that the war is too far away from America. It is really foolish. Don't they know that the national strength of the Han Empire on the other side of our ocean is increasing?"
In the White House, the capital of the United States, Luo was angry while sitting in a wheelchair.
The reason is very simple, that is, his proposal to expand his arms a few days ago was rejected by those members of Congress again.
Now, whenever Lao Luo thought of the fear in his heart when the Han Empire announced the annual steel output reached 26 million tons at the end of last year.
The cohesion of the Han Empire was too strong, so powerful that it was incredible.
Six years ago, the annual steel output of the Han Empire was only a few tens of thousands of tons, but six years later, their annual steel output had reached 26 million tons.
Now, the Han Empire ranks second in annual steel production in the world, second only to America.
According to their industrial budget, if the Han Empire continues to grow at this rate, within a few years, the annual steel output of the Han Empire will surpass that of their Americas.
What does this mean? It represents the transcendence of industrial capabilities.
An old industrial power has been surpassed by an industrial country that has only been established for a few years. Is it because others are too strong or they are too weak?
"Mr. President, there is no way to do this! They believe that the two oceans can protect the great America. In addition, the corpses of 50,000 young men brought to us by the World War, which has made many of them feel heartbroken. In addition, the economic crisis in the past few years has scared many members of Congress!"
Joni, behind Lao Luo, said calmly.
"Are you afraid? When the war comes, it will be too late for us to not prepare. If we talk about death, the Han Empire was completely established from the fire of war. Why are they not afraid?
Two years ago, that war was said to have killed millions of soldiers in the Han Empire. But were they afraid? They did not. Now our Asian intelligence station has sent back news that the Han Empire is actively expanding its military equipment and their reserves have been improved.
