"First, Haizhou will establish diplomatic relations with Indonesia at the ambassadorial level from now on!"

"Second, the tariffs on all goods traded between the two sides will be zero!"

"Third, Indonesia will pay 100 billion Haizhou currency or equivalent mineral resources to Haizhou State as war compensation!"

"Fourth, the Indonesian territory of Sumba Island will be ceded to Haizhou as war compensation!"

Indonesian Presidential Palace,

Nasution's face flushed red, his hands clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled with anger.

I have already bowed my head, but I didn't expect that Haizhou Kingdom would have such a big appetite, demanding compensation and ceding territory!

Opposite him, Xu Wangqin, the special ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haizhou, saw that Nasution had not spoken for a long time, and his face suddenly darkened and he said,

"Our president has ordered you to give a reply within 48 hours of receiving the treaty, otherwise our Haizhou country will get what it wants in its own way. However, I kindly remind the president that by then, there will be more than just this!"

After saying this, without waiting for Nasution to speak, he turned around and left with his two subordinates!

Nasution looked at Navy Commander Subijakto and Air Force Commander Danuru, and seeing that they were silent, he asked in a deep voice,

"What do you two think?"

Subijactor sighed and said,

"Mr. President, you know the current situation in Indonesia. Danuru and I are both left alone, and the army has suffered heavy casualties. Once the war starts, we will only be beaten. By then, even the people will not let us continue!"

Danuru also gave some advice.

"From the fact that Haizhou destroyed the British fleet this time, we have greatly underestimated their strength. At present, it seems that we are basically doomed to fail if we use our own strength to fight against Haizhou. I think it is better to sign the treaty first, and then we can slowly recuperate and make a decision when we have recovered our strength!"

Nasution asked somewhat unwillingly,

"Can't we turn to the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, for help?"

Subijakto shook his head and said,

"The Soviet Union is too far away and out of reach. The United States is now mired in the Korean War and is powerless. However, this time Haizhou has a grudge with the British. As allies, in the long run, the Americans will definitely cause trouble for Haizhou when they have time!"

"Okay, since you two said so, I will sign the treaty first! If there is anything, we will deal with it slowly later!" Nasution picked up the pen and said gritting his teeth!

Gloomy clouds pressed down on the red brick walls of the Haizhou Arsenal, and street lights pierced through the rain curtains and crisscrossed the factory area. The armed guards on the sentry posts wrapped themselves tightly in their military coats, and their leather boots crushed puddles as they paced back and forth, and the splashes of water reflected the dazzling white light from the factory.

The workshop was filled with the pungent smell of rust and gunpowder, and the ventilation ducts emitted a dull hum. Workers wearing dust masks walked through the deafening roar of machines.

Every rise and fall of the huge stamping machine made the ground tremble. Red molten steel was injected into the mold and formed a rough projectile blank after cooling.

The worker holding a grinder hunched his back, and sparks flowed down his protective mask like a golden-red waterfall, piling up into glittering debris on the ground.

The loading area is separated by a thick explosion-proof wall. Female workers wearing anti-static clothing and white gloves pour yellow TNT explosive powder into the bomb body one spoonful at a time.

Their movements were mechanical and precise. They would tick the form after completing each step. The rustling sound of the pen tip sliding across the paper was intertwined with the squeaking sound of the pulleys on the hanging rails above their heads.

In the assembly room next door, the master craftsman was adjusting the tail wing with a wrench. The sound of metal collision was crisp and short. The young apprentice followed closely with the blueprint in his hand, his eyes behind the lenses fixed on every thread.

At the inspection table, an engineer wearing gold-rimmed glasses repeatedly measured the thickness of the projectile with a caliper, and suddenly frowned and pointed at a tiny scratch. Immediately, a worker came rushing over with a cart and moved the defective product to the scrap area.

The conveyor belt in the distance was handling finished products. The aerial bombs wrapped in oil paper were neatly arranged, glowing with a cold metallic luster under the searchlight, like dormant steel behemoths, waiting for the moment to tear open the sky.

This is the ammunition area of ​​Haizhou City Arsenal, in the aerial bomb workshop, where workers are producing aerial bombs!

Today, the long-lost rainy day came.

Yin Xinjun, accompanied by Ding Shan, Kang Huaifu and Peng Yuan, came to Haizhou Arsenal for inspection.

After they finished looking at the ammunition area, they, accompanied by the arsenal director Leng Run, took a military jeep to the aircraft area!

This aircraft area has a total of 5 production lines, including the Army Aviation's Qinglong fighter, White Tiger bomber, the Naval Aviation's Yue Fei carrier-based fighter, Meng Tian carrier-based ground attack aircraft, and Golden Eagle helicopters!

One Suzaku reconnaissance plane and one Xuanwu transport plane per day can basically meet the needs. In order to save manpower, Yin Xinjun plans to produce them in the New Mulan City Arsenal in the future!

In the No. 1 assembly workshop,

Leng Run introduced,

"Since the aircraft engines are exclusively supplied by the Ministry of Finance and Materials, we don't need to produce them separately. This way, our speed has been greatly accelerated. Today is June 6th. It is estimated that the first Qinglong fighter will be able to roll off the production line on July 29th. The other models will also be rolled off the production line before September 7st!"

"Director Leng, what will the production capacity be by then? Can you guarantee it?"

"We strive to produce 80 aircraft of each model per month! Now the proficiency of a large number of workers still needs to be improved. Fortunately, we don't have to produce the most difficult engines in terms of technology. Later, when everyone becomes more skilled, we will strive to produce 150 aircraft of each type per month!"

Yin Xinjun silently calculated the time and estimated that in five months, they could march to Australia. The Australian army had already lost three divisions in the Korean battlefield, and its current strength could not stop the massive attack of Haizhou State.

Besides, the number of soldiers in the navy and air force is increasing rapidly. What is most needed is actual combat, replacing training with actual combat! Temper the team in war!

This is also the most important reason why Yin Xinjun took the initiative to launch multiple offensives in Nanyang!

After visiting the Arsenal, the group drove to the Haizhou Shipyard.

This shipyard has 5 docks, of which there are currently 10 2-ton docks and 10 -ton docks. Two of the -ton docks are currently building aircraft carriers, and there are three -ton docks, one -ton passenger ship and two cargo ships! Two of the docks are currently building cruisers!

The shipyard consumes more than 6500 tons of steel every day! Fortunately, Yin Xinjun has recently received a lot of mineral rewards, so there is no pressure at all.

Looking at the busy dock, Yin Xinjun was most worried about the staff. He looked at Peng Yuan and asked,

"Old Peng, how is it going? Can the staff keep up?"

"At present, the total number of students in all levels of professional classes in Haizhou Naval Academy is more than 8700. Next month, we will recruit 5600 new students to ensure that the personnel will keep up with the demand!"

Yin Xinjun looked at Kang Huaifu and Peng Yuan.

"As for talent training, I think it is worth it no matter how much it costs to train a pilot or a crew member! My goal is to train at least 15 pilots and crew members every year in the future!"
