Song Biao had no choice. The Far East Consortium had to develop to a certain stage and must have a new guideline. If Rong Xingqiao and Zhang Kangren did not have this awareness, then this decision could only be issued by him personally.
As soon as he spoke, there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and the annual meeting was forced to urgently add a major agenda - reviewing the operating problems of each loss-making company and rectifying within a time limit.
Under such a policy, the annual meeting of the Far East Consortium this year can only seem extremely tragic. Although the consortium has amazing profitability in the American market this year and still maintains an extremely high profit scale in the local market, it is tragic in the Sino-Japanese economic and trade war.
In the situation, it is destined to implement the means of cutting off the arm of a hero to reduce the losses and enhance the ability to fight for a long time in major industries.
In the previous years, Song Biao usually only participated in half of the agenda. This year's situation is obviously very special. He participated in almost every agenda throughout the process, especially in the review of loss-making companies and rectification within a time limit. He will
All the directors took it out and questioned it separately, which made this year's annual meeting particularly tense.
If Song Biao gets angry, the new army in the Northeast will be trembling, let alone the people from the Far East Consortium?
Everyone can feel this unprecedentedly amazing pressure, which makes everyone unable to breathe.
Song Biao could not do these things personally. In the end, he gave Rong Xingqiao a hard indicator - to sell half of small businesses within the scope of the main business, concentrate financial resources to support enterprises with good management level to survive the economic and trade war, and as much as possible
Support the main business to take the opportunity to expand; at the same time, he gave Zhang Kangren another task - to hold an annual meeting of the financial industry in the three eastern provinces in advance. Formulate a complete credit support plan for various industries. Even if the Far East Consortium withdraws from small industries, it must support other national capitals.
Get through the difficulties with foreign capital.
Song Biao's opinion on the Sino-Japanese Economic and Trade War is very simple. He must not be careless just because the big economic situation is good. He must not be rude. The three northeastern provinces are in difficulties and Japan is not much better. He must take advantage of this common crisis between the two sides.
The overall advantage of this side will bring a fatal blow to the other side.
The reason is very simple. The worse the industry in Japan, the better the industry in the three eastern provinces.
No matter the three northeastern provinces, the inner city, North Korea and Southeast Asia, all markets cannot be relaxed.
Under Song Biao's high-pressure decision, the annual meeting of the Far East Consortium in the first year of Xuantong was a bloody storm. But as long as the Far East Consortium really persisted, the final victory of this Sino-Japanese economic and trade war would inevitably be the three northeastern provinces.
The real great development of Japanese industry was actually after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. From 1901 to 1908, the fastest development of Japan's industrial sector was not much later than Japan. Of course, the core of Japan's industry is still national investment.
Fields, such as the proportion of national capital of Japanese industry, in 1875, was...yearly...yearly...yearly was...yearly...yearly was the lowest, and then gradually increased over the years, reaching...yearly, it just exceeded 50%.
The state-owned capital of Japanese industry was relatively chaotic before 1890, and since then it focused on investment in heavy industry, science and technology, and military industries. For example, the Nagasaki Shipyard built the "Takarimaru" with a displacement of 6,000 tons in 1898-
It was sunk by the Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War. In 1907, the 30,000-ton "Tianyang Maru" was built, and the two largest 20,000-ton former fearless battleships in the world are being built.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing government purchased 14 small ships from Japan in order to rebuild the navy. Although the total displacement of the 14 small ships was less than 5,700 tons, it was Japan's first export of warships to foreign countries.
The Far East Consortium wants to catch up with Japan's shipbuilding industry. It is still very difficult and it will not be possible within 15 years. However, in other fields, the gap between China and Japan is not big, and the gap between the three northeastern provinces and Japan is even lower.
These large, medium and small entrepreneurs in the three northeastern provinces are very clear that as long as the Far East consortium is really willing to continue to fight to the end, Japan's only need to defeat the industry of the three northeastern provinces with that little bit of money is basically nonsense, at least in the market of the three northeastern provinces.
The opportunity for Japanese goods will sooner or later be defeated in the inland Chinese market.
As for the most powerful textile industry at this stage, if the eight major textile clubs in Japan continue to fight like this for two years, they will basically seek death. Currently, half of China's textile industry is from the Far East Consortium, and through tariffs and freight, they will compete with the Far East Consortium.
Isn’t this asking for death?
In previous years, the Far East Consortium did not admit that there were any such meetings as annual meetings. As soon as this year's annual meeting was over, it deliberately released the news of the general direction. The business community in the three eastern provinces was inspiring, and everyone felt that it was saved. The banking industry and
Foreign investors also breathed a sigh of relief, because the three northeastern provinces will definitely maintain loose monetary policies next year.
There is a fundamental gap in foreign investment between China and Japan, that is, foreign capital has the right to issue money in the three northeastern provinces, which destined that the scale of foreign capital influx into the three northeastern provinces is far greater than that of Japan.
As the tyrant of the three northeastern provinces, Song Biao also considered the lack of talent in the three northeastern provinces and China itself, as well as the lack of experience and understanding in modern industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, and finance, as well as his lack of foreign exchange and silver reserves.
Foreign capital and foreign-invested enterprises are not excluded. This is the main reason why the foreign population in the three northeastern provinces has increased rapidly in the past five years. Now almost all schools have foreign teachers, all enterprises have foreign technicians and skilled technicians, foreign countries in the Governor's Office
The Expert Bureau, the General Administration of Military Reclamation and the Far East Consortium are the largest foreign expert recruitment units in the three northeastern provinces. In each military Reclamation Bureau, the Military and Animal Husbandry Bureau has an advisory group composed of foreign agricultural and animal husbandry experts, the scientific research institutes, engineering research institutes, and agriculture in the three northeastern provinces.
80% of the staff of the institute come from foreign recruitment. At least half of the teachers in each university and secondary school in the three northeastern provinces are recruited from abroad, including Far East Mainland.
Foreign capital, foreign enterprises, and foreign immigrants are actually an important support for the economic development miracle of the three northeastern provinces. In addition to the Koreans, the huge role played by a total of about 1.85 million foreign immigrants in the economy of the three northeastern provinces is absolutely not negligible.
Existence is reasonable. Behind every so-called miracle, there are various factors. The three northeastern provinces have just grasped the most favorable stage in history. This is an era of capital export, and this is a coal more important than oil.
The era, this is the most important era of soybeans, this is the era of large-scale publication of European population, this is an era of rapid promotion of large-scale modern agricultural planting, this is an era of the loosest restrictions on technology transfer.
It is an era when the population in China transfers to the three eastern provinces at the largest scale...
The three northeastern provinces just seized all the opportunities.
The three northeastern provinces have no reason to develop well, and the three northeastern provinces have no reason to fail in the Sino-Japanese economic and trade war, because this happens to be a great era that is most beneficial to China. Seizing it will change China's destiny.
...
On the third day after the annual meeting, after the business community in the three eastern provinces became increasingly stable, Song Biao was in the Chief of Staff of the New Army's Second Staff Office, Shu Fangde, Director of the Defense Department of the Governor's Office, Song Wenhui, Director of the General Coast Guard, and the US Ambassador to China.
Accompanied by Rockhill and others, he went to Haizhou Prefecture to meet all members of the American expert advisory group of the General Coast Guard of the Three East Provinces who were working locally.
Haizhou.
In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in the tenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, in the first year of Haizhou, in the first year of Xuantong, the Governor's Office of the three eastern provinces redefines the jurisdiction of Haicheng Prefecture and changes it to Haizhou. The government moved from Haicheng County to Yingkou
Yong'an Town on the east side has Haizhou County, Haicheng County, Panshan County, Yingkou County, Gai County, Xiuyan County, July.
After years of great investment in the army, Song Biao finally began to consider the pace of building a navy. After all, the three eastern provinces are regional regimes and cannot have their own navy. He chose to learn the preparations for the Northeast Navy in history and defend the Governor's Office.
The Department has the General Administration of Coast Guard, and hired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Colonel Edward Walter Aberle as general counsel for the Coast Guard. U.S. Navy Major Ernest Kimen was appointed as principal of the Coast Guard School in the three eastern provinces, with the coast
The patrol department planned to build a navy in the name of the patrol department, and selected students from the Far East Mainland graduates to study at the Coast Guard School of the Three East Provinces.
Arriving at Haizhou New City by train, Song Biao first visited the headquarters of the Coast Guard General Administration in the West Fort Camp in Yingkou County, and met with 45 American expert consultants working at the Coast Guard General Administration.
Song Biao will sooner or later make great achievements in China's naval field, although now he can only start from a low profile due to many restrictions. However, his starting standards are set to a very high level, considering long-term development and balance.
The needs of the Russian-French and British-Japanese alliance, especially the U.S. Navy is eager to check and balance and restrain the Japanese Navy's expansion in the Pacific, including his private exchanges with President Theodore Roosevelt, and he directly chose to use the U.S. Navy as a partner.
, a large American advisory team was hired to study the U.S. Navy in full.
This is a comprehensive study of the US Navy's 30-year plan for the Chinese Navy from the foundation to the system, from military education to warship manufacturing, and management. This plan was launched in the first year of Xuantong, in this Yingkou Port West Fort Camp.
.
Yingkou is a commercial port with very good conditions. It is also one of the two main river areas where the Liaohe River enters Liaodong Bay. Its ice age is short on the coast of the three eastern provinces, and it usually starts to freeze in mid-December every year.
The main port areas along the rivers and bays can accommodate 5,000 tons of ship docking.
Such basic conditions are very unfavorable for long-term development, but for now, especially considering the actual domestic and international situations, Song Biao's choice of this place as the starting station of the Northeast Navy has also gone through a lot of trade-offs.
The Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces has always been a local government with plans and then actions. The patrol fleets of the Three East Provinces have only started to be organized in the past few months, while the Coast Guard School of the Three East Provinces has been established for four years.
Its predecessor was Yingkou Branch of Northeast Ship School, which mainly cultivates various secondary professional talents required for ship manufacturing and shipping. From this school, it adds a part of the American consulting and teachers to become the new coast guard school in the three eastern provinces.
The General Administration of the Coast Guard of the Three East Provinces is located in the West Fort Camp area. The school site of the Coast Guard of the Three East Provinces is located on the north side of the West Fort Camp area, near the Neiwan Road at the mouth of the Liaohe River, which is the former Qing government’s Yingkou Haifang Tonggong Office.
After Song Biao arrived at the General Coast Guard and met with the members of the American advisory group working here, he went to the East together with General Counsel Edward Eberle and Chief Coast Guard School Major Ernest Jin En.
Visiting the Coast Guard School in the Three Provinces.
The entrance to the Liaohe River is in Yingkou. The school is on the edge of Neiwan, Liaohekou, and opposite is Liaobin Township, which just avoids the impact of the waves. The wind and waves in this area are very calm, and many of the school's teaching work stops.
With this three teaching ships.
It just so happened that the Liaodong Bay has been stormy recently, and four patrol ships from the General Coast Guard Bureau also docked here. These seven military ships are currently the entire assets of the Northeast Navy.
Song Biao stood at the port and stared at the seven military ships dozens of steps away, feeling a lot of emotion, and behind him were Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Qicai of the Northeast New Army, Shu Fangde, who had just been promoted to the director of the Defense Department, and the Coast Police.
Director of the General Administration, Song Wen-hyun, US Minister to China, Lieutenant Colonel Edward Aberle, and Navy Major Ernest Jinen.
The total displacement of the seven military ships is less than 7,000 tons. It is not as good as a Japanese cruiser. Even such a pitiful tonnage is subject to many restrictions. Song Biao can only "retire the service of a new Northeast army purchased from the United States.
"The cruiser and two patrol boats are teaching ships. The four patrol boats are the Bainbridge-class destroyers of the US Navy, with a displacement of only 420 tons, both old ships built between 1900 and 1902. They are stationed in the United States
The Philippines' Asian fleet served for many years.
Due to the low waterline of this class of destroyers, they have good marine navigation capabilities among ships of the same class of this tonnage, as well as long-term patrols in rivers, and have a high speed of 28 knots, in the Edward Eberle Navy
At the suggestion of the Lieutenant Colonel, the General Coast Guard has signed an agreement with Nafellivi Ship Company to continue to purchase six ships and maintain offshore patrol work in the Liaodong Bay and Yalu River areas.
The "retired" auxiliary cruiser "Harvard" purchased from the United States was previously the merchant ship "New York City" recruited in the Spanish-American War. After being modified to become an auxiliary cruiser with a displacement of 3,540 tons. It has 4 5.5-inch rapid-fire cannons and 2
Door 37mm machine cannon.
This tonnage is indeed too large for the General Administration of the Coast Guard of the Three East Provinces. Song Biao can only incorporate it into the teaching ship. In fact, it still has certain combat strength. At least it is a very good troop transport ship. After buying at a discount, it will be renamed.
"Liaohe".
Standing by the river port of the Coast Guard School, Song Biao looked at the seven military ships in front of him, thinking that the total tonnage of the Japanese Navy at this time had exceeded 200,000 tons, and he had just begun to chase him, and he was also a little anxious.
Shu Fangde, the newly appointed Minister of Defense Department of the Governor's Office, was with Song Biao for a long time. He studied at the Japanese Mainland University for a year and followed Song Biao's arrangements in the United States. Germany spent a year in a long time to inspect the navy and army of the European and American powers.
Construction, military education and military industry. At this moment, I naturally know very well what Song Biao was thinking.
He quietly took a step forward and comforted Song Biao: "Master, although our naval career is just starting out, it is good to have such a foundation. As long as we persist, we will surely become a climate in a few years.
Only when countries with strong industrial foundations can truly establish a strong navy. The industry development of the three eastern provinces is so rapid, the navy will never lag behind others for too long."
Song Biao nodded slightly and sighed: "Fang De, I... I don't think our navy's starting foundation is too low, nor am I worried about future development. What I am worried about is that the Japanese navy is too strong, and it will be very difficult for us to catch up.
The worst thing is that I, the commander-in-chief, don’t understand the navy at all and can’t find a way!”
Shu Fangde immediately replied: "The chief is humble!"
Song Wenhui, director of the General Coast Guard, who is responsible for the construction of the Northeast Navy, also persuaded: "The chief officer is really too modest."
Song Biao is not self-righteous. He did not understand artillery or cavalry before. Now he basically dares to say that he understands it. He did not understand economy or politics before. Now he dares to say that he understands a little, but for the navy, he really
I dare not say I understand.
He said, "If you don't understand, there is nothing to be inferior to yourself. You don't need to comfort me. Brother Wen Hui is the only few who understand the navy in our Xinhua Society. You have to support the navy of the three northeastern provinces for us, the land crabs. We
It is ambition, ambitions and no strategy. You must have long-term plans. Ten, twenty, and thirty years, you must do it step by step.”
Song Wenhui paused and said, "Please rest assured, I should do my best."
Song Biao said simply, without comment.
He had been developing the navy before, but he used the strategy of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, actively developed members in the Qing Navy through the Chinese Revolutionary Society and the Restoration Society, in order to directly intercept the navy in the future, and set up a separate one for this.
A new branch organization - Tongguanghui, Song Wenyi is one of the earliest members of Tongguanghui, and there are also a group of people including Wu Yingke, Yan Fu, Xu Zhenpeng, Lin Baoyi, Cai Yanping, etc. They continued to quietly go to the Qing Dynasty Navy.
Active activities in China.
Until July last year, the Russian Navy Department proposed to jointly organize the Northeast River Inspection Bureau with him, and in this name, he wanted to re-establish the navy in the three eastern provinces. After careful consideration, Song Biao agreed to jointly organize the Heilongjiang River Inspection Bureau with Russia, and the rest of the rivers
The patrol of rivers and coastal defense in offshore areas are planned and managed by the Governor's Office of the three eastern provinces, to prevent Russia from reaching too much in.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Biao established the General Administration of the Coast Guard of the Three East Provinces, and seconded the members of the Tongguang Association, including Lin Baoyi, Chen Jinglan, Zheng Wenying, Guan Qingxiang, etc., and used the method of walking together with two legs.
In addition, Song Biao made full use of the conflict between the Russian-French alliance, the British-Japanese alliance and Germany, and lobbled in the US government and the Admiralty to constrain the Japanese Navy, which was too powerful on the entire Pacific Western Coast. He secretly reached a series of secrets with the U.S. Navy.
Cooperation plan, a large number of in-service and retired U.S. Navy officers were hired as consultants, and a batch of "retired" warships were directly purchased from the U.S. Navy for patrols. The coast guard schools in the three eastern provinces even completely copied the textbooks and teaching plans of the U.S. Navy Academy.
.
Song Biao laid a high foundation for the development of China and the Northeast Navy from the very beginning, but he also knew very well that it would not be a matter of twenty years to catch up with the level of the Japanese Navy.
In order to capture the navy, it was even more unworthy of the loss.
As for China's current national conditions, it is best to establish a strong army first, and it is not too late to slowly develop the navy later. As long as China's aircraft carrier fleet and industrial system can be developed before World War II, it will basically not suffer any losses.
Navy, navy.
The Navy is a noble family. Without fifty years of long-term construction, it cannot stand the foundation.
After visiting Yingkou for a day, Song Biao was indeed a little sad and disappointed with Yingkou, the naval base in the three northeastern provinces, but he also had infinite beautiful visions and expectations. That night, he stayed at the guesthouse of the General Coast Guard and participated in the American consultant.
Affairs discussion meeting between the delegation and the General Coast Guard.
After the discussion meeting, Song Biao returned to his room and called Song Wenhui, Lin Baoyi, and Chen Jinglan, the members of the Tongguang Association. Shu Fangde, Jiang Fangzhen and Chen Qicai, who were closest to him, were also present.
There was another symposium in Song Biao's room.
The U.S. Navy is very clear about Song Biao's naval in the three northeastern provinces, and they are also very supportive. The consultants sent by semi-official nature are carefully selected talents, such as Edward Eberl.
Navy Lieutenant Colonel and Navy Major Ernest Jinn later served as Secretary of the U.S. Navy Command.
Especially Major Ernest Jinen, this person is very powerful.
Song Wenhui had previously discussed a "Ten Years of Naval Development of the Three East Provinces" within the Tongguang Association. On this basis, Naval Major Ernest Jin'en further details and compiled the "Ten Years of Naval Naval in the Three East Provinces" with Song Wenhui.
"Development Plan" is used as the recent development plan of the navy of the three northeastern provinces.
Today's affairs seminar will further explore the various specific tasks that the US consultants have to undertake in the development plan of the Navy of the Three Northeastern Provinces, as well as the responsibilities and commitments required by the US advisory group to perform the Governor's Office and the General Coast Guard of the Three Northeastern Provinces, including
The specific real power owned by the American advisory group.
After the entire affairs discussion meeting was held, Song Biao didn't say a few words. Because he didn't understand the navy, he made the priority of trying his best not to interfere, and entrusted the important task of naval construction to Song Wenhui, Tongguanghui and the American Advisory Group.
When she returned to the room, Song Biao just wanted to meet and talk with the people from the Tongguang Association alone, and had no more ideas to come up with.
Song Biao shook hands with everyone again, invited them to sit down in the room, and asked them some of their thoughts about their previous inspections in Europe and the United States. Song Wenyi was also a young child studying in the United States. After returning to China, he continued to study at Fuzhou Naval School, and after graduation he became
A navy general and Zheng Guiting were fellow townsmen in Xiangshan. He had a great relationship. It was under the contact of Zheng Guiting that the Restoration Association was joined by Song Wenhui. A group of people secretly formed a new Restoration Association.
After Song Wenyi left the Qing naval system, the Tongguanghui was secretly responsible by Wu Yingke, Cai Tinggan, Cai Yanping, Xu Zhenpeng, Yan Fu and others, and Wu Yingke, Cai Tinggan and Yan Fu were also led by Wu Yingke, Cai Tinggan and Yan Fu. In fact, these people were basically under the curtain of Yuan Shikai.
It was Yuan Shikai's fall that caused great conflicts between the Qing government and the navy, creating opportunities for the rapid development of the Tongguang Society.
Song Biao and the Qing government officially transferred Song Wenhui, Lin Baoyi, and Chen Jinglan in September last year. Before they officially took office in the three northeastern provinces, Song Biao sent Song Wenhui and others to study at the Naval Academy of the United States, Germany, Britain and France through various relationships.
Song Wenyi and Lin Baoyi studied at the U.S. Naval Academy and interned for three months in the U.S. Navy, studying the theory of maritime power of U.S. Rear Admiral Alfred Sayer Mahan.
All of the members of the Restoration Party are all determined to overthrow the Manchu rule and take it as their mission to establish a constitutional monarchy of the Han royal family. Song Biao is the leader of the Party Song Zhendan.
Everyone knows in their hearts that it is not difficult for the Chinese Revolution to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. The difficulty is how to build a powerful new Chinese Empire together. The difficulty is how to build a powerful imperial navy.
Song Wenhui had just contacted Wu Yingke a few days ago and received some new information. He told Song Biao about the development of Tongguanghui.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, the Qing government continued to rebuild China's navy and divided it into two fleets of Nanyang and Beiyang. In 1896, it ordered three dome cruisers, Hairong, Haichou and Haichen, and from Britain.
The cruiser continued to order four torpedo boats, Hailong, Haiqing, Haihua and Haixi, from Germany, and then ordered 14 small and medium-sized shallow-water warships suitable for cruise in the Yangtze River with Japan, restoring the naval displacement tonnage to 24,000 tons.
At this time, the Nanyang Fleet was centered on Shanghai and was renamed the Yangtze River Fleet. The Beiyang Fleet continued to be centered on Tianjin, and the secret spread of the Tongguanghui was mainly Shanghai. In Tianjin as the auxiliary, correspondingly, if the troops were now heading south to respond to the liberation revolution.
Most of them are small warships with low displacement.
After Song Wenhui finished speaking, Song Biao nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "It's not bad. Being able to restrain the south and ensure our control in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the most important thing. As for Beiyang, it would be better to convince them to be neutral.
The best. If you can't, avoiding the navy is also a good idea."
Song Wenhui said: "General, the new Northeast Army must take the Beijing-Feng Railway when it goes south. If the Beiyang Fleet fires artillery in Jinzhou to deter the Beijing-Feng Railway, the situation may be bad."
Song Biao nodded and didn't continue.
He actually understood these truths in his heart, but he had no better way. After all, the three eastern provinces are local governments, and it is impossible to buy warships from abroad with great fanfare. This time, he bought the Liaohe auxiliary cruiser from the United States to buy merchant ships and
The reason for the name of training ships is different from buying cannons and guns, because the Qing government, as the central court, recognized the New Army of the Northeast as the formal army of the Qing government, but did not recognize the naval status of the General Administration of the Coast Guard of the three eastern provinces.
Everyone here also knows this.
Song Wenhui asked a difficult problem himself, but he could only solve it himself: "General Director, our Tongguang Association will continue to strengthen publicity in the north and try his best to convince Cheng Biguang, Sa Zhenbing and others to join. If they can join, or at least remain neutral
, It will be easy for us to get things done, and we will succeed.”
Song Biao thought about it for a while and answered in his way: "Soldiers are the most important. If there is no warship that can compete with, then try to weaken the value of the enemy fleet. Of course, if you can succeed, it will be our generation's liberation revolution.
The first achievement!”
After hearing what Song Biao said, everyone could only nod their heads silently, knowing in their hearts that it was not easy to convince Cheng Biguang that Sa Zhenbing, a second-rank military officer who was highly valued by the Qing government, was not easy, let alone the Navy Minister Zaiwen and Cheng Sa.
It is well known to everyone.
Song Wenhui decided to change the topic and said to Song Biao: "Sir, Lin Baoyi and I have been studying Colonel Ma Han's theory of sea power recently. We deeply think that he has a very correct saying, only a major marine shipping power can become a major naval power. , my country and the three northeastern provinces are a weak shipping country and region. It is probably not easy to become a naval power with such manpower. Therefore, Northeast Ship Schools must not only continue to be opened, but also increase efforts to open shipping industries and ship factories in the three northeastern provinces. We must speed up the construction.”
Song Biao said with a hunch, "You don't have to worry too much about these things. I have arranged for the right person to speed up the handling."
Song Biao also spent a lot of time carefully studying the theory of sea power. He deeply agreed with this and arranged for the Far East Consortium to make arrangements for the development of the shipping industry and the shipbuilding industry very early. Naturally, this is still inseparable from borrowing from the United States.
After all, the United States has the sharpest pioneering spirit in the shipping and shipbuilding industry, and its foundation is quite strong.
As for Britain, falling from the throne from the King of Shipping is destined to stay away from the King of the World Navy, which is also a situation that Britain itself cannot reverse. Now is just its last glorious period. After this stage, it will really not be able to hold on.
It's right.
The affairs of the Navy should be considered as soon as possible and should be discussed in a long-term manner. However, at this stage, it is indeed not the focus that Song Biao needs to pay special attention to. Therefore, Song Biao only arranged three days for inspection in Haizhou this time. Yingkou Naval Base only took up one day.
Song Biao, who originally did not want to affect Song Wenyi and others, talked about his own ideas that night, and there were no more requirements except the "Ten-Year Development Plan for the Navy of the Three East China Provinces".
According to this plan, the navy of the three eastern provinces will develop to have 140 warships in 1920, ten years later, with a total displacement of 75,000 tons, and a scale of at least two battleships, four cruisers and twenty cruisers. At the same time, it must be the size of the two battleships.
It has the ability to manufacture three thousand tons of light cruisers for displacement.
Song Biao can only say "it's not easy" to this plan, because it all costs a lot of money.
The navy is a noble army, and what it burns is money. A country without money will definitely not be able to build a world-class fleet.
Money is really important.
Since he has arrived in Haizhou, Song Biao will definitely take time to inspect other work in Haizhou. Haizhou is still very important for the overall economic planning of the three northeastern provinces, and it has indeed given Song Biao a lot of surprises.
The new Haizhou City is a brand new city. Since March 1906, the surrounding areas of Yong'an Town and Yingkou have been set up as new industrial and commercial districts to open to the public, and a large amount of land is distributed for industrial investment promotion.
As Yingkou became increasingly prosperous, Yingkou established a separate county. Considering the long-term development of the entire Liaodong Bay area, Song Biao regarded Yong'an Town as the center area to re-establish a new Haizhou County here. The prefecture of Haizhou Prefecture was governed from Haicheng County.
Transfer to the new Haizhou New District.
The entire Haizhou Prefecture has a very magical place in the economic development of the three northeastern provinces, and it is also the area that surprises Song Biao the most. The first surprise is the local sea salt production, the second surprise is the local self-developed tussah silk industry, and the third
One surprise is the magnesite with amazing reserves, the fourth surprise is the discovery of Haizhou velvet goats. The fifth surprise is the discovery of Panjin Oilfield, and the sixth is the development of Haizhou gold mine with an annual output of 100 kilograms.
The scale is really surprising.
The most special thing is tussah silk, because this incident is indeed a bit overwhelming and is the biggest threat to the Japanese economy in history.
This is a strange surprise. Song Biao had never known that the three northeastern provinces could have such a powerful foundation for the raw silk industry. Many things seemed to be destined to be destined. The tussal silk industry in Shandong and the three northeastern provinces almost relies on oak trees, and on the Liaodong Peninsula and
In the eastern part of Haizhou, the endless primitive mountains and forests of Xiuyan County are full of oak trees.
Tussaurus silk is a very strange thing, because it mainly relies on wild forests, silkworm seeds are highly resistant to diseases, and the yield of single silkworms is high. In spring and autumn, silk is thick and harder than mulberry silk, which is suitable for machine textiles. The most important thing is artificial
The cost of feeding is extremely low, which is only 40% of mulberry silk, or even less - this is the killer weapon.
Haizhou's tussal silkworm breeding industry was brought by Shandong people. A large number of Shandong silkworm farmers gathered in Haizhou, causing Haizhou's tussal silk industry to expand rapidly, and its annual output surged from a scale of 100 tons to more than 4,000 tons in the past five years.
, not only played a good auxiliary role in the development of the textile industry in the three northeastern provinces, but also exported to the United States at low prices.
According to current estimates, the annual output of tussah silk in the three eastern provinces of the mainland, including Haizhou, is extremely likely to exceed 10,000 tons within two years, because the oak trees are ready-made and do not need to be replanted, which is a key factor of low cost.
As long as 5,000 tons can be exported to the United States, Japan's raw silk export industry will be severely damaged.
This was simply a pie that fell from the sky. Song Biao had never considered it at all before.
If Song Biao knew that the tussah silk in Liaoning Province had the opportunity to defeat the export of raw silk in Japan, he would have taken the matter urgently well. Although it is not too late, it always made Song Biao a little annoyed.
The importance of raw silk exports to Japan's economy is just like soybean exports to the three northeastern provinces.
