Under these numbers are the functions of various equipment. For example, if a heavy cruiser belongs to the navy, then the first digit of its number should be s, which means it belongs to the navy; the second digit is c, which means it belongs to the cruiser category.
; The third letter represents its function, and the heavy code is h; then the correct number of this heavy cruiser in the Federation Navy is sch-002, and the following 002 only represents the ship's service in the Federation Navy
Numbering has no practical meaning and represents neither order nor quantity.
For example, a torpedo attack aircraft belonging to the Federal Air Force should be numbered abt-003. The first a represents the Federal Air Force, and the second b represents that this is a bomber, although everyone usually calls it a torpedo attack aircraft.
, but its correct name should be a torpedo bomber. The t in the third digit represents that the bombs it carries are torpedoes, and the 003 behind it is the service number of this aircraft in the Federal Air Force.
In addition to the army, navy and air force, the South China Sea Federation also has a mysterious force, known to the outside world as the "Infectious Disease Prevention and Treatment Force", which is affiliated to the Air Force Command under the Ministry of National Defense. The base and number of personnel of this force are top secret
, except for the Minister of Defense, the Commander of the Air Force, and important officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Liu Fu, basically no one knows about the existence of this unit. Their supplies and personnel deployment are also handled directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Liu Fu, and they are basically at odds with each other.
Any contact with the outside world.
This force was established in 1915, that is, after the official founding of the Federation, and its initial station was in Anbuk Province. In the mountains near the original border between Vietnam and Laos, and at the same time as this force was established, there was also a force code-named
A research institute in "45", and the institute is located there.
From the name of this secret force, people may quickly think of bacterial weapons or chemical defense forces, but this is just a layer of disguise. This force, together with the "45" Research Institute, they
They are all the South China Sea Federation, to be precise, they are a nuclear energy research institute established by Liu Fu and the security forces responsible for assisting and protecting this research institute.
The name "45" of the institute is not the serial number of the institute. It is the time when the institute was established. Liu Fu happened to be 45 years old, so he chose this number as a small commemoration. As early as 1905, Liu Fu
A small nuclear research institute was established in the mountains in the middle of Taiwan Island. The people in charge of this research institute at that time were a young physicist of German origin and a French origin. They were both from the Curie Laboratory.
A well-known young nuclear physics expert. After being attracted to the federal research institute by David through various temptations, these two people can be regarded as a tiger in the mountains and a fish in the sea. With the federal government's sufficient research funds and Liu Fu
With the special funding provided by them, they gradually networked with dozens of researchers from various countries. They began to follow Liu Fu's requirements and mainly conduct research on thermonuclear reactions such as the purification of uranium metal and nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
After the federal government occupied the Dutch East Indies, Liu Fu began to feel that it was inappropriate to place such a time bomb-like research institute in the federal heavy industrial area of Anbei Province, although the research institute was not currently planning to develop anything.
It is a dangerous project, but Liu Fu feels from the bottom of his heart that the more remote the nuclear research unit is, the better. If something happens, it will be too late to regret it. In addition,
Also considering that Anbuk Province and the area controlled by the British are at the junction of land, the risk factor is still a bit high, so in 1918, the research institute and the secret force were moved to the southernmost tip of Sulawesi Island.
On a small island called Muna, an underground laboratory with a depth of hundreds of meters was built, falsely claiming to be the residence and research institute of the "Infectious Disease Prevention and Treatment Force".
The researchers of these secret units are also quite miserable. Most of them usually hide in caves in the mountains and live like mice. Although the federal government or the military pay these researchers very high, it is not like living in the city.
It is so comfortable and comfortable, and many research projects are very dangerous. If you are not careful, it will be a big accident that kills people and collapses the house. Therefore, these laboratories are built in deep mountains and old forests.
At the beginning, Liu Fu relied on his partial knowledge of nuclear physics to set the research direction for these researchers. According to Liu Fu's description, if these projects produce results, the federal government will use them to research them in the near future.
Controlled nuclear fission technology has made great progress in the fields of power generation, shipbuilding and other fields. Nuclear power plants and large nuclear-powered ships will appear first, and a piece of nuclear raw material weighing a few kilograms can replace thousands of tons of coal and
Oil, that would be the biggest discovery in the world.
Although Liu Fu was shameless and did not tell these researchers that he planned to use their research results to create weapons to threaten the whole world, these people who have extremely firm beliefs in scientific exploration of unknown areas, whether it is the limitations of living conditions or family
Complaints from members can be ignored, as long as
If you can provide them with a suitable research environment, sufficient research funds, and advanced research equipment, then they will be like a persistent lunatic. No matter how boring, how tedious, or what harm the research results will do to the world, they will just
Feel free to move forward in their own fields.
Since the uranium reserves in the South China Sea Federation are very small, only a small amount has been found in western Kalimantan, Bangka Island and Belitung Island. Moreover, mining is not easy and the output is very small, which is not enough to meet the requirements of the "45" Institute.
All test dosages. During this period, countries around the world
The mining volume of uranium ore is not large. Many countries have discovered uranium ore, but they have not realized the use of this radioactive mineral and have not mined it. Therefore, even though David and Schneider's companies are helping Liu Fu from the world
Uranium ore was purchased within the scope, but the quantity was also very small.
However, with the South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company taking over Australia's iron ore, the days of lack of uranium ore are almost gone. Australia, a barren land, not only has amazing reserves of high-grade iron ore,
It will also be one of the three largest uranium exporters in the world in the future. In the area purchased by Schneider, a uranium deposit has been discovered, with reserves estimated to be several thousand tons. If it can be mined normally, the annual mining volume will be around dozens of tons.
It far exceeds the test dosage of the "45" Research Institute.
After the naval war between Britain and the United States in the South China Sea that took place in the mid-1920s, although the participating parties signed an armistice agreement with each other and restored normal diplomatic relations after the war for different reasons, the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries had no regard for the South China Sea Federation.
The countries in Asia that are rising rapidly and have escaped from their control are very afraid.
Although the South China Sea Federation was only busy with domestic construction and relocating its capital after the war, and did not continue to expand its power, nor did it intend to try to control some surrounding countries, there is an uncontrolled and powerful country in Asia that also controls
With the important Malacca waterway, it would be very difficult for the British, American and European powers to block Asia into their sphere of influence and rely on force to plunder the wealth of Asian countries.
Because the South China Sea Federation will not allow the maritime armed forces of various countries to approach its own country, let alone watch others show off their power at their doorstep. As a major Asian country, the South China Sea Federation's military and economy will inevitably radiate to its surrounding countries.
It also affects the development and political situation of neighboring countries. In the long run, if the development speed of the South China Sea Federation is not curbed, there will be no opportunity for European and American powers to take advantage of this precious land in Asia.
If they rely solely on economic means, European and American countries are not sure that they can suppress the local snake of the South China Sea Federation. First of all, after occupying the Malay Peninsula, the Malacca Strait has completely fallen into the hands of the South China Sea Federation. In terms of transportation costs, the Indian mainland has
If you want to transport all kinds of materials to East Asia, you will no longer have the cost advantage. South Korea
The land of the Maritime Federation is rich in sugar, spices, wood, rice, cotton and linen, and other products, which are basically the same as those produced by British India and the United States. Moreover, the Federation's processing and transportation links are even higher than those of British India and the United States.
In some cases, countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have no advantage at all in the trade of these goods. (To be continued...)
