Lushun's port conditions and geographical location are rare in the Far East. The harbor is wide and deep, and does not freeze all year round. It has only a narrow exit, but inside is a wide and calm bay, which can accommodate hundreds of ships.
After the Tsar discovered this place, his eyes were red and he fought hard to build the Middle East Road and took Port Arthur into his hands. After the Japanese robbed Port Arthur, they also invested a lot of money. The city appearance is compared to other places in the Northeast.
The city seemed to be far ahead, marching on the wide streets, with cheering crowds holding colorful flags on both sides.
Countless young people were on both sides of the road, looking at these armored vehicles curiously, pointing and pointing, showing expressions of surprise. The Chinese Army has actually developed to this level. It is even more majestic and majestic than the Japanese. This
As soon as it appeared, it conquered the hearts of most people.
Luda was occupied by Russia and Japan successively, and the people were under oppression and extremely insecure. With a strong army, they felt safe from the bottom of their hearts, and the cheers became louder and louder.
However, in the cheers, Zhang Tinglan heard not only excitement, but also a hint of worry. After all, Luda had been ruled by the Japanese for many years, and the various rules and regulations implemented were different from those in other areas of Fengtian, and the entire city
The economic structure of Japan is completely colonial and serves Japan.
If changes are made rashly, many people's jobs will definitely be ruined, which will lead to public backlash and disappointment. This is not uncommon in history. Territory that has been ceded for a long time and then taken back will be more or less resistant.
Fortunately, Luda has not been occupied for a long time, and the national character has not changed. However, Zhang Tinglan is also secretly vigilant. He must arrange strong manpower in Luda to establish an efficient and clean new government to regain the people's support as soon as possible.
.
The Feng army arrived in front of the former Japanese Kanto Governor's Palace. The plaster flag symbolizing the rule of the Japanese government had been replaced by a five-color flag.
In front of the Dudu Mansion, a large number of celebrities, representatives from all walks of life, and journalists have gathered. They are all eager to know what kind of governance philosophy the new ruler of this city will adopt. Some are happy, while others are worried.
, after all, they had a lot of cooperation with the Japanese during the Japanese rule. No one knew whether the new government would liquidate it.
Just when some people were uneasy, Zhang Tinglan, dressed in military uniform, walked up to the podium. After looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Zhang Tinglan said slowly: "Today is a good day for Luda to return to the motherland. It is natural to cheer and celebrate.
, but drinking water and remembering the source. The reason why we can return to the motherland is all because of countless soldiers throwing their heads, spilling their blood, and sacrificing their lives on the battlefield. For this victory, a total of 35,042 soldiers died. At this moment, let us mourn in silence for these heroic and sacrificed soldiers.
Three minutes!”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Tinglan took the lead and lowered his head, and everyone present could only follow. Many people thought that Zhang Tinglan would directly show off his illustrious martial arts and talk about the significance of recovery. Unexpectedly, he would actually observe a moment of silence for the soldiers, which made all the soldiers present feel...
Very pleased.
Whenever the commander-in-chief arrived, he always kept everyone in mind and never forgot the brothers who sacrificed their lives!
Three minutes later, when everyone raised their heads, the whole place became much more solemn. Zhang Tinglan cleared his throat, and then said: "Lushun is a city that is uniquely endowed with superior natural conditions. It is precisely because of this that it attracts
During the Sino-Japanese War, Lushun suffered an unprecedented massacre. More than 50,000 compatriots were brutally killed by the Japanese. In 1898, the Russians invaded Lushun and forcibly occupied the sacred territory of China. Later, Japan and Russia
When the war broke out, Japan seized Luda again. Looking back at history, the land under our feet is a troubled land, and the people on it are full of sorrow!"
Zhang Tinglan's words resonated with many people in the audience. Everyone couldn't help wiping their tears secretly. Thinking of the grievances they had suffered over the years, many old people had the idea of suffering, while those young people were holding on tightly.
Clenched his fists.
"Here I want to announce to everyone that the sufferings of the past are over. Luda has returned to the hands of China, ushering in a new life and opportunities for great development. The future of Luda is bound to be even better!"
"In the next three years, the government will inject 200 million yuan into Luda, focusing on developing the shipbuilding industry, and turning this place into the center of the northern shipbuilding industry. We will build two 10,000-ton shipyards. I believe that we can
In the foreseeable future, the Chinese people's dream of going to the ocean will be realized here, and the foundation of a strong navy is deeply rooted in the soil of Lushun!"
After Zhang Tinglan said this, the people present couldn't help but cheer. The bright future Zhang Tinglan said was not empty words, but real money and silver.
In three years, 200 million yuan was spent. The scale of the project has surpassed that of the Japanese. Moreover, shipbuilding is a huge systematic project and requires a large number of supporting factories. This means that the people of Lushun will not have to worry about employment in the future.
, and the businessmen also saw the opportunity, their eyes were all widened, and it seemed that they had to prepare immediately and find a way to get a piece of the pie.
As for many foreign reporters, they perceived a different kind of greatness from these words. This is clearly a declaration that the Chinese will build a large navy and go to the ocean.
Thinking of the Mackensen issue that has been mentioned frequently in the past few days, everyone felt a little bad. Everyone knew that Luda did have a strong shipbuilding foundation.
The shipbuilding industry in Lushun began in the Qing Dynasty. In 1890, 1.3935 million taels of silver were spent to build the Lushun Shipyard. It was the largest military factory in northern China at that time, with one large and one small dock, as well as a stone berth and a railway branch within the factory.
, lifting iron frames, iron docks, warehouses, water and electricity facilities, etc., with 9 production workshops and nearly 1,000 employees. Its large dock was known as the largest dock in East Asia at the time, and the water pipeline was the earliest water facility in China.
Subsequently, during the Russian occupation, a large amount of investment was made. At the end of 1902, the Dalian Shipyard completed the first phase of construction project and put it into production at a cost of 1.987 million rubles. The factory covers an area of 31,000 square meters and has a 3,000-ton shipyard and a trestle pier.
1 each, 28 factories, warehouses and other buildings, as well as water and electricity facilities.
During the period of Japanese control, investment intensity increased a lot. In 1908, after Kawasaki Shipyard leased the Dalian Shipyard from Manchuria Railway, it immediately began to expand and rebuild it. First, some hydraulic facilities were rebuilt and built, and the shipyard was expanded.
Ship repair and shipbuilding capabilities. In March 1913, the 3,000-ton shipyard was expanded to a 5,000-ton shipyard, a new small mooring dock and a dry dock were built, the number of production workshops increased to 10, and shipbuilding and machinery were gradually equipped.
Equipment required for the manufacture of locomotives and vehicles.
Looking through this history, we can indeed find that the foundation of Luda's shipbuilding industry is much stronger than that of Huludao. The most rare thing is that the shipyard has continued and developed through continuous investment from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia, and Japan.
The technology accumulated over decades is quite strong.
During the Japanese rule, although investment was also made, there were restrictions. The main shipbuilding capacity was still retained in the country, and no effort was spared to develop Luda. If according to what Zhang Tinglan said, Fengjun must firmly develop Luda. With its
With the accumulation of technology over the years and sufficient funds, it is not impossible to build a ship of 10,000 tons.
At this moment, everyone finally came to a conclusion about Fengjun's ambitions. If Fengjun's development speed is followed, they may really be able to achieve their goals within three to five years, or even faster. And with
Using the Mackensen as a reference, we can directly overcome the technical difficulties of large warships and achieve success in one step.
After all, it only took a dozen years for Germany to go from a country with a weak navy to the second place in the world. Some things tend to fall into place naturally.
After defeating Russia and Japan in succession, no one dares to doubt Feng Jun's firm will. Perhaps the pattern of the Far East will soon be completely changed as Feng Jun strides towards the ocean.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan also noticed the horrified reactions of some reporters. He was secretly happy in his heart. He wanted to fool the Japanese. One Mackensen alone was not enough. It was just a battle cruiser. A single thread cannot make a thread and a single tree cannot make a forest.
.The Japanese must be convinced that Fengjun has greater ambitions and the strength to support them.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan released a signal to develop the shipbuilding industry, which was part of the overall deception plan. Of course, the development plan was true, but Fengjun did not necessarily build battleships, but vigorously developed aircraft carriers.
However, there is already a carefully prepared development report on Zhang Tinglan's desk. Fengjun plans to start construction of two large battleships in the next three years, and three more large battleships within five years.
The Japanese have a plan for the Eighth-Eight Fleet, which is eight battleships and eight battlecruisers, while Fengjun is tit-for-tat and wants to build the Three-Three Fleet.
Even though the difference in numbers between the two sides is more than half, with the support of the mainland and the support of submarines and air force, this fleet is already capable of threatening Japan.
Moreover, Fengjun has only one maritime opponent, and that is Japan. However, Japan has to cope with the pressure from the United States and Britain. Its forces are scattered and it is focused on one at the expense of the other. Its advantages over Fengjun will be even more weakened.
Of course, this document has been sent to Tokyo through secret spy channels, and is now in front of the cabinet and military officials.
After Zhang Tinglan gave his speech, reporters from all walks of life were worried about Fengjun's next move. As a result, Zhang Tinglan personally inspected the shipyard in the afternoon, talked to many old workers, and demanded that Fengtian and other places follow the example of Fengtian and other places to implement a new management system.
, improve the treatment of workers.
Later, a large number of technical personnel were transferred from Huludao Shipyard, including many German experts, and they put forward the posture of integrating the two shipyards. Zhang Tinglan also made suggestions. Lushun has a good foundation, and in the future, we should focus on the development of large warships.
, as for Huludao, it will be mainly submarines.
At the same time, Fengjun's procurement team also dispatched to Germany, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to purchase machinery and technology, assuming a posture of going all out to develop the navy. All countries were confused one by one.
The whole day was startled, but Zhang Tinglan, the instigator, was sunbathing comfortably on the beach. (To be continued...)
