Chapter eight hundred and twenty second snowy new song
After two rounds of fierce competition, the Sino-Italian cooperation plan successfully defeated the United States and Britain and became the big winner of Chile's next-generation battleship. When the good news was announced, everyone in the delegation laughed like children. These days they
After working hard and completing an almost impossible task, when victory finally came, everyone felt like they were dreaming.
Win, we win!
Everyone is shouting in their hearts that the Chinese can really defeat their powerful opponents and win this super order worth 45 million yuan. Unlike Siam, a country that has been enveloped by China for many years, Chile is
It was far away, and it was won entirely by strength.
This is not only a large amount of income, but also means that China will enter the high-end arms market from now on. Not many countries can enter this market. Even Japan cannot. Of course, it does not mean that Japan’s technology is not good, but that they
Don't have the courage to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
That's the thing. If you don't fight, it's not yours. When I heard the news that the Chinese delegation won, the most angry person was Panasonic Roqing. This guy was furious.
He couldn't bear that such a big piece of fat fell into the hands of China. Just when he was sulking, he saw the Chinese delegation returning happily. Everyone smelled of alcohol and there were a group of people around them.
The blonde girl's company makes people jealous.
"Hmph, don't get too proud too early. If the warships produced by some people cannot float at all in the end and become living coffins on the sea, I'm afraid they will become the laughing stock of the world."
"Thank you for your concern. The Chinese feel confident in building a first-class warship. And let me tell you, even if it fails, we can still mortgage the Changbai Mountain to Chile, which will definitely not delay the customer's formation of an army."
At this point, Chen Jing sneered and said: "I seem to have forgotten that the Changbai Mountain was once called the Kirishima. If your country could send the Nagato and Mutsu over, we would be even happier."
This sentence touched the sore spot of the Japanese. Panasonic Rongqing was waiting for a pair of rat eyes, as if he wanted to eat people. Chen Jing and the others were indifferent. This success had given them enough confidence.
In fact, it's not just them. Even the country is very excited. When Zhang Tinglan first made this decision, almost no one could believe that the Chinese had the ability to snatch this order from the tiger's mouth.
Even Wu Yulin and others had the mentality of giving it a try. When the news of being selected came back, China immediately became excited. Major newspapers rushed to report on it. This was a milestone in China's military industry, and it was also a sign of China's international status.
milestone.
Being able to defeat the United States and Britain in the field of arms sales undoubtedly means that China has become one of the top countries in the world. Every Chinese can pat their chests and say that we are also a great power!
Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. After the success, he immediately sent a telegram to Mussolini. The fact that China can get the order is inseparable from Italy's help.
Although Zhang Tinglan looked down on Mussolini, who was inferior in skill and skill, but before the war, Italy was still one of the top four in Europe. It had good relations with Italy and the two countries cooperated with each other. It was also a constraint on the United States and Britain.
As for Mussolini, he was even more arrogant and proud. Since opening up the Chinese market, Italy's economic development has entered the fast lane. His position has become more and more stable, and the rule of the Fascist Party has been completely established. After successfully snatching orders this time
, Mussolini even made a public speech, saying that this was a great victory for Italy-China cooperation, and that the two countries would carry out more cooperation in the future.
However, compared to everyone's optimism, Jiang Baili was not very optimistic. He directly found Zhang Tinglan.
"My humble opinion is that the Americans have long declared that America belongs to the United States. I am afraid they will not let us get involved so easily. Even if the bidding is successful, they can still sabotage it. I think we should not rush to fulfill our promises and observe first.
Just for a moment, lest the Chileans regret it again.”
"Brother Baili, your worries are absolutely correct, but I am determined to win the South American market. The United States will definitely not give up, but we still have to see if God gives them this opportunity!"
The unprecedented Great Depression is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Tinglan is becoming more and more confident. In fact, in previous economic crises, the stronger the government's control, on the contrary, not only will it not be hurt, but it can also rise against the trend. As the saying goes, this
As the other goes, China also wants to expand its influence.
Although it is not yet possible to delineate the sphere of influence, extending the economic tentacles and binding as many countries as possible has gradually been included in Zhang Tinglan's calculations.
As strength increases, people's ambitions will expand. At first, Zhang Tinglan was just thinking about self-preservation. After unifying the country, Zhang Tinglan was just thinking about recuperating and keeping a low profile. After World War II, he took advantage of the trend and became a world power.
However, as China's industrialization progresses, Zhang Tinglan increasingly feels that this most reliable method has problems. The biggest problem lies in China's size, with a scale of more than 500 million people. Within twenty years,
The population will reach at least 800 million, or even more.
China is almost as big as all developed countries combined. How much resources and energy such a country needs are astronomical figures.
After a certain period of time, the resources that the world can provide are quite limited. If we sit back and watch Europe and the United States eat the fattest piece, China's industrial process will be delayed.
Developing industry is something that cannot wait. The sooner it is completed, the less dangerous it will be and the lower the cost. Otherwise, if it is delayed, China may fall into the trap of Latin Americanization and will never be able to climb out.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tinglan is so interested in Chile. Time is running out. Even if he doesn't want to fight, he must fight for it.
"Brother Baili, you said that if the economy suddenly collapses, foreign trade of various countries almost comes to a standstill, factories close, workers lose their jobs, and production stops, what do you think the world will be like?"
"Ah?" Jiang Baili was also startled by the situation described by Zhang Tinglan, and said hurriedly: "If this is the case, I think the world will be full of wars."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "That's right. Brother Baili, according to observation, there is a serious bubble in the U.S. economy, which is in danger of bursting at any time. The United States is the largest economic power and the largest trading country. Once the United States collapses,
The impact on the world would be fatal."
"My humble opinion, since it is so powerful, do we have any countermeasures?"
"Brother Baili, the so-called economic crisis is caused by blindness and overcapacity. We still have huge market potential, coupled with the effective guidance of the government. Not only will this crisis not hurt us, it will also provide China with an unprecedented
Opportunities. We can safely and boldly absorb advanced technologies from various countries, and it can be said that the industry will usher in unprecedented development."
"That's great." Jiang Baili smiled and said: "I have to say that your predictions have never come true in so many years. I hope it will be right this time. In China, if it is strong, it will rule the world. If it is weak, it will dominate the world.
, it will become a place of four battles, with opponents everywhere.”
"Yes, although Russia is newly defeated, Japan is still in front of us, especially Taiwan. It must also be solved. This island is too important. Only by winning Taiwan can we have a base to enter the Pacific. In addition to Taiwan, it is best to
Then take down Ryukyu. This will completely open the door.
"These two places are the lifeblood of the Japanese. If you want to win them, you have to fight Japan desperately. I think the opportunity is not mature yet." Jiang Baili said: "There have been calls to regain Taiwan in China, and many senior officials have
The officers are also gearing up and eager to try."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he smiled helplessly. The continuous victory in foreign wars had made some generals become arrogant and all of them were militants. Zhang Tinglan could not directly suppress this enthusiasm, but if he followed their wishes,
, sooner or later something bad will happen.
Therefore, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Since they are gearing up, let them lead troops into the plateau. It should be solved here."
As a unified country, Zhang Tinglan definitely cannot allow the backward slavery system to still exist in some areas, such as Yunnan and other places, where all the chieftains have been completely eliminated with the advancement of land reform.
Without these people, the authority of the government has been unprecedentedly high, and its ability to control local areas has also doubled. However, the only thing is that there are some troubles in the plateau area, and Zhang Tinglan did not act rashly.
Now that northern Xinjiang has been completely stabilized, it is time for the southwest to be solved, especially the construction of roads in Yunnan-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet, Xinjiang and other places. It will not be so troublesome to send troops to the plateau. This is the most stubborn area.
The time has finally come when the fortress must be solved. Zhang Tinglan's attitude is very clear. The backward serfdom system must be cleaned up, education must be vigorously promoted, and customs must be changed.
"I would like to say that the plateau is not really a military issue. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhao Erfeng and his army were able to solve the rebellion, not to mention that we have such a powerful armed force now. It's just that this is a heart-wrenching battle, and we have to fight for thousands of years.
I’m afraid it’s not that easy to declare war in the traditional way.”
"Yes, but the more difficult it is, the more beautiful it must be solved."
"Since Zhu Yan's determination has been made, there is nothing more to say. We promise to complete the task."
…
After Zhang Tinglan laid out the tasks, it was a very huge project to solve the problem on the plateau. Military was only one part of it. There was still a lot of other work to be done. The first thing to do was to fight the public opinion war to seize the moral high ground.
.
Under the instruction of Zhang Tinglan, the Propaganda Department published a large number of stories on the plateau, truthfully introducing the suffering of the lower class serfs. When the Chinese people heard that human sacrifices were still used in this era, they were all frightened.
I would never have thought that something that had only been mentioned in history books would actually happen in this vast country. This is simply a challenge to human conscience.
All kinds of torture instruments were displayed, and some escaped low-level serfs even narrated their experiences, which made public opinion even more heated.
Life is so cheap, and it is simply unforgivable that those monks who chant the Buddha's name can forget the doctrine of equality of all living beings, regard millions of people as slaves, and kill them at will.
Therefore, public opinion strongly demanded that the government take action to change the situation on the plateau, and some non-governmental organizations were even established. They sent volunteers into the plateau to witness the situation on the plateau with their own eyes and find a way out for the people there.
Under the pressure of "public opinion", Zhang Tinglan also sent an investigation team into Sichuan. Although it was called a team, the number of people was not large at all, with hundreds of people. In addition, some people were drawn from neighboring areas.
Three divisions of troops are ready to move into the plateau at any time.
The team leader fell on Yan Xishan, and the deputy team leader was Chen Jiongming. After they arrived in Chengdu, they first sent out an invitation, hoping that all religious leaders and noble leaders from the plateau could gather in the capital to discuss issues and explore a suitable path.
solution.
In fact, since the public outcry, the plateau has been frightened three times a day. They don't know how powerful the National Defense Force is, but no one is naive enough to think that they can fight against the central government. Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to them. These people are terrified and can sleep and eat.
disturbed.
After receiving Yan Xishan's invitation, the smart ones came immediately. Finally, one after another, hundreds of people gathered in Chengdu. Some people wanted to resist, so they pretended to be unwell and did not come.
Yan Xishan's trick is both to lure the tiger away from the mountain and to cast stones to ask for directions. Those who can come show that they still have a center in their eyes and can be reformed. There is no need to kill them with a stick. Those who refuse to come will only die.
"Everyone, some things are like vaccinations for children. No matter how much the child cries, he can't escape. Therefore, smart children will pretend to be brave and end it quickly, so that they can still get candy from their parents.
.But some stupid children just cry loudly, which makes their parents impatient. In the end, they still have to get a shot, which makes them miserable and gets nothing. Here, I hope everyone can
Be a smart person and don’t mislead others or yourself!”
Just when Yan Xishan said these words, the three divisions of troops had already moved into the plateau. They handed over their weapons, registered their serfs, and conducted an inventory of their pastures.
A large number of civil servants, under the protection of the army, carried out meticulous work. Of course, many people were dissatisfied with these mainland officials. They organized thugs and mobilized people to resist, but the army was not there to watch.
As long as there is a slight disturbance, the army will immediately take action.
The ones who led the trouble were killed, and the others were all used as coolies and sent to the northwest and other places. As the plateau gradually became clearer, the action of dividing the fields began. The serfs who were at the bottom of the pile in the past were finally
He regained his freedom and received land.
The owner's property was divided equally. They put on new clothes and shoes for the first time. They had formal ID cards and land ownership certificates for the first time. This feeling was as if they had risen from the lowest level of hell to heaven.
.In an instant, many people consciously placed the army and even Zhang Tinglan's portrait in the position of the shrine, replacing the former gods.
