"We have signed an agreement with the United States to build the Sichuan-Han and Ning-Han railways. Once completed, Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be connected into one, and the transportation efficiency of the railways will inevitably increase significantly. The existing Lu-Han Railway, Jinpu Railway
The railways must also be rectified, unified to standards, expanded to double tracks, and doubled in capacity. In addition, the Yangtze River Bridge must be built in Wuhan to directly connect the three towns together without the need for ferries. In this way, the three towns in Wuhan will surely usher in a high-speed
period of development.”
Jiang Baili listened to Zhang Tinglan's spending plan and nodded frequently. This gesture was indeed a bit shocking.
"My humble opinion is that the Yangtze River has been a natural chasm since ancient times. If we want to build a bridge, we will probably have to invest a lot of money."
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "If you want to develop industry, investment in infrastructure must keep up, otherwise it is just a fantasy. No matter how the natural chasm is, it will become a thoroughfare sooner or later, and it is best to build it not only in Wuhan, but also in Nanjing, so that the north and south
The barriers have been completely broken. Our army can move from Beijing to Nanjing in a day or two at most. At this speed, Nanjing will no longer be able to think about independence, and the entire country will be integrated."
"In addition to investing in these infrastructures, I am also planning to expand the Hanyang Iron Works to increase the steel production capacity to 200,000 tons. In addition, Sichuan and other places are rich in water conservancy resources. It happens that the Fengman Hydropower Station is almost completed. With the accumulated technical personnel, we can
With the overhaul of water and electricity in the southwest, roads and electricity will be available, and industry will develop!"
Jiang Baili also nodded: "This investment plan is certainly good, but there are still two major problems. One is safety and the other is funding. I have heard Premier Tang cry about poverty more than once."
As soon as money was mentioned, Zhang Tinglan showed a proud smile: "Brother Baili, don't worry, money is not a problem!"
When Zhang Tinglan said this, his tone was not ordinary. He dared to take money and ignore it. This was really a bit bold, but Zhang Tinglan had this confidence.
During the great earthquake in Japan, he made a profit of nearly 200 million yuan by shorting the Japanese yen, which seems to be a large number. However, capital mobility at this time was far less than that of later generations, and Japan was relatively closed. Especially the number one war criminal.
Although Hirohito has not yet ascended the throne of emperor, he has shown a very courageous side and has taken control measures. It will be difficult to continue arbitrage.
However, Zhang Tinglan's bad intentions will definitely not end. Just cleaning up the earthquake scene will take several months. Zhang Tinglan still has a chance to make a move. He has already sharpened his knife and prepared to detonate a bomb. That is the issue of holiday dollars.
Since acquiring the Sanya tree in Anhui, Fengjun has been printing holiday dollars on a large scale, basically printing about 100 million yuan every year. And by the end of World War I, in order to rush to buy equipment, Zhang Tinglan printed 300 million yuan a year.
Among the Japanese yen circulating in the market today, there are at least about 1 billion holiday yen, a considerable part of which has already entered the hands of European and American countries.
If this problem is brought out, the blow to the Japanese yen will be even heavier. It can be said to add insult to injury. At least another 200 million yuan in profits can be squeezed out. With this money, there is hope for the development of Wuhan and southwest China.
Jiang Baili also knows that Zhang Tinglan has some special methods. This young man can always get money from special channels. This is also Zhang Tinglan's ability to start a business. They just need to work. If it is as planned by Zhang Tinglan, China's industry will
The production capacity is twice that of Japan. At that time, the small island country will no longer be a threat.
"I would like to say that the training of the troops is basically completed now, and the chief officers at all levels have been selected. Only the commander of the Guards Division has not yet been selected. According to my opinion, it is best to leave it to Wei Jiu (Zhang Tingshu)."
The Guards Division is responsible for the security of Beijing and Tianjin and has a heavy responsibility. As the saying goes, brothers fight, and father and son go into battle. It is natural for Zhang Tingshu to take up this position. Moreover, according to the plan, the Guards Division should strengthen mechanized equipment, and Zhang Tingshu is armored.
As an expert in combat, it is natural to leave it to him.
However, Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Leave the first division to Zhang Henian. As for Tingshu, I have other plans."
Jiang Baili also gave a wry smile: "The second young master's abilities are well known to everyone. I would like to say, don't stop eating because of choking and waste a general's talent."
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "I have already planned it, and he should be satisfied."
As a superior, the most important thing is to be fair and convince everyone. If Zhang Tingshu is placed as the commander of the first division, even if he rises based on his ability, others will regard him as nepotism. As the saying goes
If the top is effective and the bottom line is effective, there will be no way to manage it.
However, Zhang Tinglan was not allowed to wrong his second brother. After much deliberation, he planned to assign Zhang Tingshu to the Marine Corps. This newly formed new unit did not receive much attention. After all, the Navy had not yet taken shape. A Marine Corps
What effect can it have.
But Zhang Tinglan clearly understands the role of the Marine Corps. It is the sharp knife for overseas attacks. Whether it is dealing with Japan or Nanyang, the Marine Corps is the vanguard. Moreover, this force is relatively independent, and Zhang Tingshu is in charge of it.
Basically, it is equivalent to the troops in your sleeves, but you can call it at any time, and others can't comment on it.
Zhang Tinglan had almost finished explaining, and then said to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, you have to work harder. Based on the existing military strength and future development, formulate a complete set of combat plans against Japan. In addition, we must also deal with Russia and Southeast Asia."
We have a corresponding strategy. As long as the country is stable, we will go abroad, at least to restore our sphere of influence in East Asia."
The obsession with land has almost penetrated into the bones of the Chinese people. There are currently no nuclear weapons. As long as it is an area bordering land, Zhang Tinglan does not believe that anyone can defeat the Chinese Army. Although he must focus on recuperation in the future.
, but Zhang Tinglan is already preparing to pave the way for territorial expansion.
Just after Jiang Baili left, Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi came over again. As soon as he met Tang Shaoyi, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I'd like to say that you are still here. The Japanese were hit by the earthquake, and many people in the country even appealed for donations to Japan.
Some congressmen suggested providing disaster relief supplies.”
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "After cleaning up so many pro-Japanese elements, why are there still people who don't have a long memory?"
Tang Shaoyi smiled nonchalantly: "I'm sorry to say, this is for humanitarian reasons. It's high-sounding, and I can't refute it even if I want to. What's more, we are also neighbors with Japan. We have to go through with the knife in our hearts, but we have to live up to our reputation."
"It's just a matter of saving face. Let's do this. Send two warships to help the Japanese with disaster relief. As for whether they want to use it or not, that's their business. In addition, we will donate another five thousand yuan and send some food and quilts.
, that’s it.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Shaoyi's face twitched slightly, and she said with a wry smile: "I'd say, this is a bit too difficult to handle!"
"Why, we still think that we are a celestial country and want to spend a lot of money. What's more, even if we are still, Japan is no longer a vassal. When they robbed us of 230 million, they showed no mercy at all."
In fact, 5,000 is not too small. In later generations, it will be hundreds of thousands. I remember that a certain big country gave only 100,000 to a dog that has been raised for hundreds of years. It was praised by a lot of people. This is respecting the hard work of taxpayers. China also
We need to keep up with world trends.
"Prime Minister, let me give you another idea. If anyone still encourages donations, you should order a team of volunteers. Whoever shouts the loudest will be let over, so that they can share the joys and sorrows with the Japanese."
"Okay, that's it. Anyway, I don't have much money to send to the Japanese."
Japan, which had just suffered a major earthquake, quickly received warm and sincere condolences and sincere care from China. I believe that the Japanese people who abide by discipline will be able to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homeland.
In the end, the Chinese government generously provided 5,000 yuan, 100 quilts, 2,000 kilograms of grain, 10 tents, and 200 cans, which were transported to Japan by the warships Hairong and Black Mountain, which also carried 50 professional search and rescue personnel.
The team can participate in treating the wounded and searching for survivors.
After seeing this telegram, the Japanese were so angry that they were so angry. This thing was not enough to spend money on begging, and the most hateful thing was that the Chinese wanted to take the opportunity to send navy warships over. It would probably take a long time for those search teams to find information.
Far more than saving lives!
With their filthy heart, the Japanese certainly did not appreciate China's care and expressed their gratitude for the goodwill. However, they immediately rejected the Chinese warship's request to enter the Japanese port, and did not allow the Chinese side to send a rescue team.
This is a slap in the face to some overly enthusiastic people in China. If they don’t want it, it has nothing to do with China.
He was stingy with the Japanese, but Zhang Tinglan was extremely generous to China, announcing several large-scale infrastructure investment projects in succession. The country's railways must be unified into a standard track, and management and operations must also be unified to end the history of China's railways being divided and occupied by foreign powers.
This investment alone is as much as 50 million.
Immediately, Zhang Tinglan announced an education counterpart support plan, that is, Fengtian will be used for the three provinces of Shandong and Henan, Jilin will be used for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Heilongjiang will be used for Huguang. Teaching talents will be mobilized from the three eastern provinces to promote primary and secondary education and literacy education.
According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, the literacy rate of the population should be increased by 10% every five years, which means that after 20 years, the literacy rate will be increased to 50%. With China's huge population, in terms of talent,
In terms of absolute numbers, China can compare with any other great power.
For this education plan, the central government alone has to increase its budget by 30 million every year, and local finances have to allocate 20% of the budget, and they have to increase it significantly year by year.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan is also preparing to vigorously support a group of universities to form an industry-university-research base group in central China to create a new engine for China's industrial development.
Of course, in order to implement this plan and really spend the money in useful places, Zhang Tinglan decided to take a trip to Huguang in person to see how to spend it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
