Chapter 221

"There will be no real revolutionaries in China in our lifetime. The democratic process may take some time to improve for one reason or another, but the pace of progress will never stop."

The above is the text accompanying the picture on the cover of Time magazine. The cover shows a young soldier with a serious and confident face. He is wearing a helmet and a pair of binoculars hanging around his neck. He has his hands on his hips and his eyes are bright.

There seems to be an enemy ahead waiting for him to destroy. In the upper left corner is a huge title: Winner of the Far East War!

Wall Street, an office by the window of a certain building. Fisher was silently looking at the city outside the window. On the desk in front of him was a copy of the latest "Time" magazine. At this moment, Fisher was in an unusually calm mood.

Respected Fang once again fulfilled his god-like prediction. The European War broke out and became fierce, forming a long-term war.

situation. Although Fisher did not dare to believe too much in such predictions before the war broke out, he still made a large investment in accordance with Fang Jianxiong's wishes. His original mentality was based on Fang Jianxiong's unreserved trust.

, and now these trusts have been repaid. Fisher has made huge gains in the financial market, earning less than $300 million a year.

Fisher does not doubt that Marshal Fang is an Eastern wizard who can make accurate predictions. His point of view is that the respected and noble Fang can always view the changes in the world from a height that others cannot reach.

.This kind of forward-thinking vision has exerted great power more than once. Just like this, Fang now

As the de facto head of state of a country, Fisher was paid handsomely for his service. Putting aside financial interests, Fisher now has a title: wizard! Because he seems to be able to predict the future! His vision in investment

It’s so accurate that colleagues can’t believe it. You can bet on something as difficult to predict as the European war!

Fisher is now the hottest financier on Wall Street! No one!

The war caused death and destruction to Europe, but it brought one of the most important opportunities of this century to the United States. As the war intensified, a large amount of wealth poured into the United States. The American economy showed its most prosperous side. The war

In the year before the outbreak, Your Honor invested in private industries in the United States, and these investments are now making crazy profits. Because of the war, both Britain and France were waving checks to purchase all the materials needed to win the war.

If Fang Jianxiong was a noble angel in Fisher's mind before, now he is a god-like existence.

The sound of high heels shocked Fisher into deep thought. In came the slim girl Alice.

"Dear! Why are you here?" Fisher was a little surprised. Alice stepped forward with a smile and said, "I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear it, so I pushed the door open and came in." She saw the words on the table.

"Time" magazine, Alice's eyes changed slightly, she reached out and gently touched the face of the man on the cover, and whispered softly: "Fang is still so resolute and handsome."

"Alice, don't you need to accompany Ms. Lu?" Fisher stood up and hugged her daughter. Alice kissed her father on the face and said, "Lu has decided to return to China, and I also plan to visit China.

"

Fisher hesitated for a moment and did not persuade his daughter. He nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine, as long as you are happy. I will convince your mother to agree to your request."

Alice: "Thank you, I know you will support me."

Three days later, a fleet of more than ten 10,000-ton cargo ships and a cruise ship sailed across the Pacific and headed for China.

When Alice and Lu Bicheng stood side by side on the deck, the advantage of Oriental women's tender faces was quite obvious. Although she was already in her thirties, Lu Bicheng looked like she was in her early twenties. When the two stood together, they naturally attracted countless eyes.

Especially for Alice, the figure advantages of Western women, combined with the fitting clothes, are sexy but not dignified. The only regret is that this girl lacks the activity that a young person should have and looks very quiet standing there.

"Alice, he won a difficult war and won a chance for a nation with a long history to catch up with the world." Lu Bicheng whispered leisurely. Alice didn't seem to agree with this statement, smiling and affirming.

Said: "He will keep winning and he will not lose. I have never doubted this."

Lu Bicheng couldn't help but feel dumb. Yes, Lu Bicheng was full of worries when the Sino-Japanese war broke out. He expressed to Alice many times that he was worried that the war led by Fang Jianxiong would fail. But Alice told her simply: "Don't worry.

Fang will definitely win! There is nothing in this world that Fang wants to do and cannot do." This kind of blind trust is unbelievable. But the facts prove that Alice is right.

"Who knows? In these years in the United States, I helped him watch the slow and difficult growth of those industries. Unexpectedly, the war broke out in Europe, and now the warehouses are empty for rats. At the beginning, I was really worried that so many goods would turn into a backlog.

A waste product." Lu Bicheng expressed her emotion again, but Alice looked at her with reproachful eyes and said: "Lu, you shouldn't doubt Fang, even the slightest bit is disrespectful to him."

The blindness and madness shown by the girl who had just graduated from college in front of her made Lu Bicheng feel tremendous pressure. She didn't know what it would be like to see Fang Jianxiong again.

While the ship was sailing on the vast sea, Marshal Fang was paying attention to the progress of the European war at the General Staff. The new changes that occurred in the Battle of Gorlice were a huge shock to the Wehrmacht. Marshal Fang had always maintained good relations with the German side.

With secret contacts, news about the European war can always be obtained as soon as possible.

The Germans have a talent for being superior to others in how to use tanks. There are only three people who can attend meetings at this level, Jiang Fangzhen, Cai E, Zhang Xiaohuai, and Huang Xing. None of them can participate in this extremely small circle of military meetings.

"This is the huge change brought about by industrialization! The pattern of war, with the entry of industrialization into the city, has ushered in an opportunity for another drastic change. Now the three of you won't say that I am betraying the country, right?" Fang Jianxiong started after reporting the situation.

Made a joke.

The Sino-US friendly cooperation agreement brings more than just American capital. The key is American industrial technology. This is the only shortcut for China to achieve preliminary industrialization in the shortest time. Although it has paid a huge amount for this, this

Everything is worth it.

"We need to increase our tank factories by at least ten to reach the level of producing a thousand tanks per year." Jiang Fangzhen seemed to be talking like a lion, but in fact this is not excessive at all. It is very simple. Americans are very interested in tanks.

Gao is willing to provide funds and technology to jointly develop new tanks. Because the Chinese are in the lead and have achieved great results, the Americans are interested and are willing to invest huge sums in this area. So

The so-called tank factory is actually a Sino-US tank cooperation institute located in Wuwei County. In terms of technology and funds, there is a big gap between China and the United States, but the Americans should avoid detours and learn from China's successful experience.

More importantly, at this time, the United States has not yet awakened to become a world hegemon. Besides, in terms of industrial capacity, China can produce a thousand tanks per year, and the Americans can easily produce ten times as many tanks.

Come.

"A tank is a complex combination that involves a lot of technology. The tank we are using now is quite rudimentary. We don't have much capital to bargain with the Americans. Therefore, we must first expand the production of special steel in Wuhan. Without special

Steel, tank production is just empty talk. Secondly, engine technology, as far as we are concerned, this is the top priority of Sino-US cooperation. Engine technology has a wide range of uses, not only in tank technology, but also in aviation,

Automobile manufacturing, etc. Finally, there is the study of military tactics.

Let’s put it this way, our research and exploration of military tactics are all based on the existing industrial foundation. Otherwise, we are lucky. Europe is at war, and we have time and space to catch up. Everyone, don’t

It is too simple to take this at its most basic level. It is necessary to

There are too many things to do. The most optimistic estimate is that a relatively complete national defense industry system will be completed by the end of the 1930s. This is also due to the fact that we are a big country and have no shortage of resources for development." Fang Jianxiong said.

While here, Zhang Xiaohuai suddenly raised his hand.

"Fengguo, we have no oil. Didn't a magazine in the United States say that China is poor in oil?"

Fang Jianxiong sneered and said happily: "If he says there is no, there will be no more? China is so big, who can be sure about what is buried underground? Let's talk about this later. After everyone goes back, sum up other people's experiences in light of the new changes in the European War,

Research results must also be kept confidential." After some words, Fang Jianxiong ended the meeting.

After watching the three people leave, Yang Yongtai hurried over and said: "Fushuai, there is a call from the United States. Mr. Lu and Miss Alice set off from San Francisco. At the same time, there were fourteen freighters, including rifles delivered by Americans and purchased from the United States.

Machinery and equipment. This is the original text of Mr. Lu’s telegram.”

Fang Jianxiong took a look at the telegram and wrote: When people return, all the goods have arrived. Only people around Marshal Fang know what these goods refer to and how much they are. This is the first bonus from the European War, and they are all replaced by

Machinery and equipment. If these equipment are pulled back, a large-scale thermal power plant, a large-scale machinery manufacturing plant, and an engine factory can be built. Fang Jianxiong did not completely rely on the United States. He built a large-scale thermal power plant near Wuhu

Within a military unit, more than a hundred political prisoner experts recruited from Europe are quietly developing China's own engine technology. Fang Jianxiong's search for European technical talents is just the beginning. There are bigger plans in the next twenty years.
