Chapter 278: Managing the Northeast (3) Talking about Zhang

Fang Jianxiong was actually blocked in the study room by Sa Zhenbing. This old guy was relying on his old age and talking loudly.

"The light cruiser uses a 105mm main gun. Now there is only one weirdo in the world. What if we meet the enemy's light cruiser at sea? Can it be used as a target for the opponent? No, the main gun must be of 152.4 caliber, and the auxiliary

Artillery, what do you need so many anti-aircraft guns for?" After Sa Zhenbing became a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, the other party's commander-in-chief cooperated very well with the military construction. Today, he unexpectedly got angry because he suddenly learned that Shanghai was copying the Linxian-class light cruiser, and then ran away

I went to Shanghai to see it, and when I came back I went crazy.

It's very simple. Sa Zhenbing thinks that Fang Jianxiong is just messing around. He builds warships without even saying hello to the navy. Isn't this nonsense? In fact, he still likes this warship, but he feels that the main gun is wrong. According to him

The idea is to have at least six triple-mounted 152.4 main guns, and it doesn't matter if there are fewer secondary guns. The key to this matter is that Sa Zhenbing wants to get the navy's equipment rights, but Fang Jianxiong will not give in on this issue.

.So I smiled and let him spray me without saying anything back.

After Lao Sa sprayed for half an hour and the saliva was dry, he put on the tea cup with a smile and said: "Lao Sa, I did something wrong this time. I will definitely call you in advance in the future. Is this good? I will follow your instructions.

, the main gun has a caliber of 152.4, a triple turret, and the rest is as I want. You also know that we are imitating the light cruiser made by the Americans, not designing it ourselves. At present, we do not have the ability to do it ourselves.

Design capabilities. Boilers and steam turbines must be imported.”

Sa Zhenbing was old and cunning. When he saw Fang Jianxiong's attitude, he knew that he could no longer push him. He still pretended to be angry and said: "Fuguo, it's not me who is meddlesome. You are really an amateur in the navy. We should discuss everything more.

"Sa Zhenbing also made concessions. It's very simple. The secondary gun 105 is actually very good. This old guy knows how to behave.

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Sa Lao, we can now produce large-caliber artillery by ourselves. Although the output has not been increased yet, the quality is pretty good. What I mean is, try to equip the battleship with your own turret. And

It's boilers and steam turbines. I plan to take the opportunity of the European War to introduce technology from France. I want the best technology for burning heavy oil and armor steel. If the British don't give it, the French will definitely give it."

Sa Zhenbing became excited when he mentioned this matter, but after being happy for a while, he sighed and said: "When Fuguo decided to send troops to Europe, many people didn't understand and sang the opposite. I didn't say anything, but I couldn't agree with it in my heart.

. Now the expeditionary force is showing its power in foreign lands, and the Russian army is pale. Only Britain and France know the importance of the expeditionary force, so they spend a lot of money. Now there are 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, and various air hammers for forging. Otherwise, where would there be equipment for building warships?

and technology. In addition, the customs has also taken it back. This alone makes it worthwhile to send troops to Europe."

It seems that during this trip to Shanghai, Sa Zhenbing saw a lot of things that he was satisfied with. The key is that he can build warships himself. Although the power equipment has to be imported, it is still a great progress. Speaking of this, Sa Zhenbing became excited.

He stood up and waved his fists and said: "Fushuai, do you know that for many years, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, we have dreamed of building ironclads. Now this dream is not far away, and we can die in peace.

Already."

As he spoke, Sa Zhenbing couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears. Fang Jianxiong sighed slightly in his heart. These veterans of the navy really have a deep love for the navy of this country.

"Sa Lao, don't be excited. You are so excited about a small light cruiser. I also plan to build a battleship myself in five or eight years. Just wait with peace of mind. Now we can imitate a light cruiser.

Cruisers, you will be able to design better warships in the future. You are the treasure of the navy, and you must live a long life no matter what. By the way, Mr. Sa, please give a name to these two light cruisers." Fang Jianxiong smiled.

If you go forward, whether you can deal with Sa Zhenbing will largely determine the loyalty of someone in the navy. Returning to the army is not the same as the army. The recruits can be fired after half a year. A powerful navy does not have ten

Don't count on it until eight years later. Although the Qing Dynasty was a bastard, it managed to build a large fleet, the Beiyang Navy, and left behind a large number of naval talents. These people must be firmly in hand. This is the rise of the navy.

guarantee.

Sa Zhenbing wiped away his old tears in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Okay, I will wait until that day and watch the battleship I built launched into the water. Fushuai, from now on, as long as it is about the navy, just say whatever you have to say."

When Fang Jianxiong was sending him out, he saw Zhang Jian getting out of the car and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Ji!"

Only then did Zhang Jian put his heart back to its original position. Something had delayed his relationship, and he was not deliberately neglecting it.

Sa Zhenbing was sent to the car respectfully. Fang Jianxiong stood there and waited for the car to disappear. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, please move. It's very rude. There are really too many things.

Please bear with me."

Zhang Jian didn't dare to take these words seriously. He had already seen through Fang Jianxiong. He was really polite to Sa Zhenbing, but not necessarily to himself. I don't know why he disliked this guy. Every time he looked at him, he looked at her in a bad way.

good.

Fang Jianxiong didn't like Zhang Jian in his heart. The root cause was Zhang Jian's "Soviet people governing the Soviet Union" initiative that year. This bastard slogan really killed the Republic of China. During Yuan Shikai's time, local warlords did not listen to orders and refused to hand over their finances. After Yuan Shikai's death

, the local warlords who pretend to be local autonomous or nominally submit to the central government of Beiyang really have no center in their eyes. Duan Qirui's plan to unify China by force is itself a castle in the air. He doesn't have many troops in his hands, and he has to fight a war.

Local forces wanted money, and they would not send troops if they were not given, and they would not fight well if they were given. The most typical example was Wu Peifu, who attacked Hunan and stopped fighting. The Zhili clique and the Anhui clique began to undermine each other, and later developed into wars.

Some "historical inventors" have exalted Wu Peifu to the heavens, just short of calling him a saint. The local warlords who refused to obey the central government were essentially the source of long-term civil strife in the Republic of China.

The past flashed through his mind, and Fang Jianxiong had no intention of arguing with Zhang Jian, but this matter was always a thorn in his heart. In terms of face, Fang Jianxiong still greeted him politely: "Mr. Ji, I have invited you here for something.

We need to discuss it."

Zhang Jian repeatedly raised his hands and said politely: "Whatever Fushuai orders, Jian will do his best."

Fang Jianxiong invited him into the study, sat down and had tea and said with a smile: "It's like this. When I go to the Northeast, most of the things I see along the way are deserted lands. The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated. In the late Qing Dynasty, many people left the country to make a living.

Accumulated, there has been a slight improvement. Today, the three northeastern provinces have a population of more than 20 million, but there are still shortcomings in such a large place. Jianxiong wants to propose to the cabinet that within three years, 10 million immigrants from the Northeast will be immigrated. The first batch of immigrants in a few years will be 300.

Wan, we have to ask Mr. Ji for permission for this resettlement fee."

When Zhang Jian heard this, his brows tightened slightly, and he secretly thought that it would be unwise to oppose Fang Jianxiong on this matter. He then smiled and said: "This is a big event, has Fu Shuai drafted a charter? It will also make Jian feel more confident.

Spectrum."

Fang Jianxiong said: "My idea is that the Jianghuai River is prone to disasters and the land is barren, so we might as well start from this place. Each immigrant population, over the age of sixteen, will be given twenty acres of land and a settlement allowance of fifty yuan. There is Lianyungang in northern Jiangsu.

With a little preparation, thousands of tons of cargo ships can dock. Immigrants can disembark at Yingkou by sea and land, and then transfer to a train. The cost of rations required is calculated at 20 yuan per person. In other words, one immigrant will cost 70 yuan."

Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly, and Zhang Jian's brows furrowed more and more tightly. According to this calculation, not counting other expenses, three million people is 210 million yuan.

"Fu Shuai, you know the financial situation of the Republic of China. Even if Jian doesn't object, he can't come up with so much money." Zhang Jian felt that this was a hot potato and he really couldn't agree casually.

Fang Jianxiong continued to smile and said: "There is no way. We can issue national bonds, part of which is issued in the United States and part of which is issued domestically. Now the country needs money everywhere, including money to build railways and money to run education. The country is also in trouble. By the way, the Northeast is in trouble.

After a preliminary understanding of the situation, it is quite pessimistic. The population is scattered, industry and commerce are not prosperous, and Russians are rampant in the Black Province. This situation must be changed, otherwise even if the immigration is successful, it will be difficult to achieve results. I plan to suggest to the cabinet that in

Northeast China implements special military control."

Zhang Jian was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, didn't he say that soldiers should not participate in politics? What is military control? Is Marshal Fang slowly tearing off the mask of democracy? This is a serious matter. How did you say it before, national government affairs?

Or is it still handled by the cabinet, and the local government actually controls the power? Now that there is such a turmoil in the Northeast, isn't it going to go back to the old way of the military governor?

Zhang Jian lowered his head and stopped talking. He really couldn't accept these words. When Fang Jianxiong saw this, he said calmly: "Mr. Ji, the military control issue is just an idea."

Zhang Jian was shocked, feeling uncomfortable being seen through. He immediately stood up and said, "Commander Fu, I dare not say anything unreasonable about this matter. It still needs to be discussed by everyone in the cabinet."

Fang Jianxiong stood up and said with a smile: "That's it, let's discuss it with the cabinet first and see what everyone's opinions are. By the way, this matter can't be delayed for too long. Northeast China is the most suitable place for the development of heavy industry in the country, and there should be something within this year.

Enterprises enter the Northeast."

Zhang Jian was panic-stricken and immediately left, but was stopped by Fang Jianxiong, who handed him a document bag and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Ji, I've sent a document from below. You can take it back and take a look."
