Volume 2: Across the Sea Chapter 31: Eastern Expedition, Northern Expedition (Thirty)

On November 13, Sun Dapao commissioned Dowson, Prime Minister of the British Vega Artillery Factory, as a representative in London to submit a memorandum signed by Sun Dapao and Homer Lee to the British Foreign Minister Grey, stating that China, Britain and the United States had formed an alliance.

Alliance. It also asked the British government to support China's revolutionary regime. After Sun Yat-sen became the president of the government, he would give Britain and the United States various political and military privileges over other powers. This matter was very confidential and was later disclosed by the British media. It was unknown at the time.

He didn't think so. Only Fang Jianxiong knew about it and cursed him in private, "A selfish traitor!"

Fang Jianxiong stayed in Nanjing for one night. He was stationed in the former Liangjiang Governor-General's Office, now the Nanjing Metropolitan Governor's Office. The next day, Fang Jianxiong led all the Anhui troops to withdraw from Nanjing and return to Wuhu. This was the successful end of the Eastern Expedition.

When Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu, a lot of things were waiting for him. First, there were two shipments of goods from the United States, as well as more than a hundred Americans and more than a hundred Chinese Americans. These people mainly belonged to two groups, six of whom were American radio suppliers.

Technicians and inspectors sent by the company, three representatives of the American automobile company Dodge, and the others all have the same profession, car drivers.

Fisher was indeed very reliable in his work. He bought two hundred cars in one go and described an extremely large market to the Americans, which almost drove the Dodge company crazy.

Next is the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, which George is responsible for. It has officially begun to install equipment. It is expected that the first phase of the project will be completed in three months, with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel and 500,000 tons of iron sand. The first phase of the plant's technology will be provided entirely by the United States.

Undertake the construction, the project is divided into three phases, and the total cost of the three-phase project is estimated to be 10 million silver dollars. After completion, it will be able to produce 200,000 tons of steel annually, including 50,000 tons of special steel used for gun barrel manufacturing.

Because of the huge investment in this company, Mr. Douglas specially returned to the United States last month to lobby for the second and third phases to fall into the hands of American investors. Unfortunately, the current domestic situation is unclear, and Douglas’s lobbying results are limited.

Fang Jianxiong first solved the problem of the Americans and arranged to re-sign a labor contract with them. There are roughly two types. One is willing to serve the Anhui Army and directly leave the army to drive. The salary is one hundred and fifty oceans a month. The other two types are willing to serve the Anhui Army.

Unwilling to serve in the army, they transformed into car driving training teachers and received a monthly salary of one hundred oceans. There is no objection to this issue among the Chinese, and they are all willing to join the army. Whether all of them are willing to do so is unknown. They

Their treatment is the same as that of American drivers, which they probably didn’t expect.

The best paid are the American radio technicians, all of whom are hired as communication school teachers with a monthly salary of 300 yuan, responsible for training Chinese students. This time, 100 radios were directly imported from the United States, and Fang Jianxiong called Fisher to purchase another 200 units.

Radio, 200 cars and fuel. Fisher was also asked to continue lobbying in the United States to win American capital to invest and build factories in Anhui. All treatment would be preferential. As long as they are willing to come, any conditions can be considered.

After handling this matter, Fang Jianxiong introduced Jiang Baili to his subordinates and announced the reorganization of the Anhui Revolutionary Army. Three infantry divisions, the 4th, 5th, and 6th, and one 75** artillery brigade were organized. The six divisions were organized into two corps. The first

The military Jianxiong became the commander-in-chief and concurrently served as the president of the Army University. Jiang Baili, director of the Second Army, served as the chief of general staff of the Anhui Revolutionary Army and concurrently served as the executive president of the Army University. Hamilton, the former chief of general staff, served as the commander of the fifth division and concurrently served as deputy chief of staff. The original

The division commander remains unchanged. The Fourth and Fifth Divisions were adapted from the security forces of Anqing and Wuhu respectively. The commander of the Fourth Division was Li Xiaochuan. The Sixth Division was expanded on the spot from the Huyan Aobo Department of the Jiangbei *** Brigade.

The deputy division commander temporarily acts as the division commander's affairs.

Fang Jianxiong left the reorganization matter to his subordinates and took Gu Heng, Li Muyan and Zheng Quan to Ma'anshan. Since the preparations were done early, the equipment was installed as soon as it came. Personnel training and coking coal production were relatively easy.

Smooth. For coking coal, Eurasia Group signed a long-term purchase contract with Fanchang American-owned Xiehe Coal Mine. In order to win the coking coal business, Xiehe Coal Mine specially invested in a coking coal plant in Fanchang. This can be regarded as a successful example of Eurasia Group's investment promotion process.

Fang Jianxiong's steel plant serves military industrial enterprises, so the requirements during the design process are extremely strict. The steel produced must meet the design standards for military purposes. This is not the Hanyang Iron Works. When the blast furnace was first introduced, it could not produce qualified rails.

.

George, an American, buys power for a very simple reason. Fang Jianxiong signed a contract with him, and the steel plant was successfully completed. He will own 1% of the company's shares. Mr. George's initial request was for 5%, but Fang Jianxiong cut it off with one blow.

, it depends on one percent whether you like to work or not. A ten million investment, one percent is one hundred thousand dollars. George may not be able to save such a fortune even if he works in the United States for several years. You know, he is in Europe

If you serve as the vice president of Asia Group, you will be paid.

The construction that lasted for a year has initially yielded results. There are many factories, roads are in order, and huge chimneys of modern industrial landmarks are erected, just waiting to emit thick black smoke to pollute the world. In this era, there is undoubtedly no better environmental protection than this egg.

It hurts. George looked around with Fang Jianxiong. Fang Jianxiong, who had no idea about the steel industry, always had a straight face and seemed to be very dissatisfied with George's work.

As an American who came to China to prospect for gold, George learned how to deal with Chinese people. The big boss looked serious, and George also became serious. He said with a sad face: "Boss, there is a problem that can only be solved by you.

"

Fang Jianxiong raised his handsome eyebrows, and George felt like he had a headache: "The quality of coking coal must not be controlled by others. I suggest setting up a professional acceptance group and building our own coking coal plant."

Fang Jianxiong said that this suggestion is very important, but at this stage, Americans have the technology and funds to do this, so there is no rush for the time being. "George, you go have a good talk with Concorde Coal Company and tell them about this steel plant.

prospects. In fact, just from coke, Xiehe Coal Company can make a fortune. There is no shortage of coal in Anhui. You can talk to the local business gentry to see who is interested in setting up such a plant. The steel plant is not only

It's as simple as making steel and guns. To turn this enterprise into a large group that can produce chain effects, you have to use your brain a lot. Don't think about doing everything yourself. As long as the steel plant is done well, others can make money.

If you have the money, you will naturally be willing to invest in surrounding industries."

Then Fang Jianxiong went to the living area, where a labor force of about 30,000 people gathered. In the year of 1911, floods in Anhui continued, and it was easy to recruit people in Ma'anshan. However, Fang Jianxiong was determined to run the business well, so he established a strict labor security system at the beginning.

All workers recruited to work must first pass the physical examination and have no infectious diseases before they can work in the enterprise. This job provides a good experimental opportunity for Wannan Medical College. Fang Jianxiong also plans to turn this school into a large medical university

Secondly, workers who enter the enterprise must sign a labor contract that clearly stipulates their rights and obligations. In the words of local people, after entering the steel factory, those who eat in the factory, wear clothes in the factory, and live in the factory, there are also wages every month.

Dayang Na, I really went to heaven. Going back a hundred years, this place was like a sweatshop, with a salary of one dollar a month. There were actually a lot of people flocking from all over the Jianghuai River to find a chance to make a living.

Fang Jianxiong went to the canteen specifically and called the chef who contracted the canteen to come and encourage him. The chef was so excited that he burst into tears. Then he moved to the dormitory. According to regulations, any worker who signed a labor contract would

They can all live in a 20-square-meter house, with bunk beds, six people per room, and a shared bathroom. There is no way, there is not so much money to throw at it. In one year, a place that was originally a wilderness has been built.

There are endless rows of three-story tube buildings. There is no need to worry about quality issues. Fang Dashuai has a gun in his hand. Anyone who dares to hack him is seeking death. Workers with families can not live here and build tents outside.

Housing and a monthly subsidy of 50 cents.

The reason why it can develop like this is thanks to Fang Jianxiong's economic policies. It has become a consensus that the local business gentry in Wuhu can make a lot of money as long as they are willing to cooperate with Eurasia Group. Take Fang Youxiao as an example. It turns out that

After the Fang family's business was handed over, he first worked on the dock, and then recruited a few people to form a construction team. He went through Gu Heng's back door and took over part of the project in Ma'anshan's living area. The entire factory area and living area project,

There are seventeen construction teams that have joined. For future development, they must also improve quality, and competition among them is fierce.

In Wuhu, Jiang Fangzhen started a busy life, and Fang Jianxiong, a bastard, became the shopkeeper, giving money directly and doing nothing else. The establishment of Army University, although it has the background of the original teaching team, must be improved into a multi-subject military professional college.

It's not an easy task either.

Fortunately, the infantry teaching materials are relatively reliable and only need to simply add some theoretical things. In fact, Jiang Baili was deeply inspired after reading the teaching team's teaching materials. Considering the actual domestic situation, Fang Jianxiong undoubtedly did a good job.

After perfecting the teaching materials, Jiang Baili took the time to write letters and poach people. Basically they were classmates and underclassmen, and some of them were not very proud of themselves.

Although Jiang Fangzhen didn't have to worry about the expansion of the military academy, as there was a contract binding the builder, Jiang Fangzhen still went to the construction site every day. Jiang Fangzhen was amazed when he saw some of the strange training props, and he didn't know how Fang Jianxiong's brain grew.

, come up with so many tricks for training.

After spending one day in Ma'anshan and two more days back in Wuhu, everything was basically settled. Fang Jianxiong went to Anqing. When he arrived in Anqing, Fang Jianxiong knew why the Northern Expedition stopped in Hefei. (To be continued...)
