In mining development, some large-scale things were temporarily covered up by Wu Aihua, such as the iron ore in Panzhihua. Because of its vanadium and titanium content, even among later generations of steel companies, Panzhihua Iron and Steel's benefits were not very good, because they did not find how to separate other metals.
method. Wu Aihua is not planning to develop these special mineral deposits for the time being. He hopes that the "merit system" can be redeemed for more advanced metallurgical technology when he sees it.
If the above three scales have a "refreshing" effect, the last "Social Improvement Plan" is a plan that shows China's "scars". Chinese society has many bad habits, such as smoking
Opium, like brothels, like gambling, like three wives and four concubines, like women's low status, like kneeling before officials, like having money in the house instead of depositing it in the bank, like family system, like not being hygienic...
These bad habits are too numerous to count.
Fortunately, the senior officials of the New Republic of China were all people who had been educated by modern civilization, and they also hated these bad social habits. Therefore, the social reforms advocated by Wu Aihua were barely passed.
First, private gambling is prohibited. What does that mean? The gambling industry will be unified by the government, and its profits will be controlled by the government and used for social welfare after deducting corresponding costs. It is the same as sports and welfare lotteries in later generations. As for a few friends who want to
Let's play mahjong together as you like; however, if government officials play mahjong, it will be recorded as a stain on their character.
Second, polygamy is prohibited. For polygamy that has already become a fact, the woman must be consulted to divorce or continue the marriage, but the concubines also have the right to inherit property.
Third, protect the legitimate rights of women and children, prohibit discrimination against women and girls, and prohibit domestic violence specifically targeting girls. Any violation will be punished by law...
Fourth, establish villagers’ self-governance, a rural health convention, a villager mutual aid system, reduce rents and interest rates, and encourage rural surplus labor to work and settle in cities; citizens of the Republic of China can live freely throughout the country (provided they have certain property).
Fifth, build 1,000 government welfare homes across the country within three years to adopt orphans under the age of 14 and helpless elderly people. The money for the construction of welfare homes will be fully allocated by the government, but the matter must be led by Minister of Civil Affairs Luo Wenqian.
Only by doing can it be completed.

In the ancient Eastern continent, the new head of state Wu Aihua is busy strategizing, preparing to use the upcoming world war to resurrect the Chinese nation and gain new life; while on the European continent, the German head of state Adolf Hitler has also accelerated the pace of the war.
As early as March 11 this year, Adolf Hitler used both soft and hard tactics. With the help of pro-German elements and Nazis in Austria, he occupied Austria without any blood and took the first step of aggression and expansion. Britain and France responded to Hitler's actions
They just let it go. France said nothing, and the British ambassador to Germany only protested. The Soviet government issued a statement condemning it and requested an international conference to discuss measures to stop German aggression, but Western countries refused.
For Czechoslovakia, which is located in central Europe and is close to Germany, Hitler formulated a "green plan" plan as early as June 1937, preparing to occupy Czechoslovakia by force. However, Hitler did not have a particularly good opportunity to send troops before.
The annexation of Austria allowed Adolf Hitler to taste the sweetness of expansion, and also allowed Hitler to see clearly the "appeasement" face of Britain and France. As a result, Hitler's expansion steps became larger and larger, and Czechoslovakia was included in the German territory, becoming Hitler's next
Goal to strive for!
In wars between countries, there has never been a saying that there is no chance. If there is no chance, we must create opportunities, even if the thief shouts, the thief will be caught.
The Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, which borders Germany, is home to more than 3 million Germans. This is Hitler's greatest opportunity.
Austria had just been annexed on March 11. In April, the Sudeten German Party, headed by Konrad Hanlein, held a congress demanding "national self-determination and national autonomy." The Sudeten people could decide the future of the Sudetenland on their own!
Konrad Hanley's slogan was actually to split the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia and "return to Germany."
As the leader of the German people, how could Adolf Hitler not support the political ideas of the German people? Therefore, without saying a word, Hitler immediately gathered troops on the German-Czech border and threatened war. Czechoslovakia was forced to announce partial mobilization.
The situation on the German-Czech border is tense, and war is about to break out!
In the past World War I, Czechoslovakia regained its sovereignty under the "protection" of Britain and France. Czechoslovakia also signed a mutual assistance treaty with France. Therefore, the situation between Germany and the Czech Republic was tense. Britain and France
The two countries had to come out to "mediate".
However, after British Prime Minister Chamberlain flew to Germany twice, Britain and France finally came together to put pressure on the Czechoslovak government, demanding that they resolve the Sudetenland issue in accordance with the principle of "national self-determination."
Next, the German head of state Hitler proposed an "ultimatum" to Czechoslovakia, but Czechoslovakia flatly refused and issued a "national mobilization order." Therefore, Hitler ordered seven German divisions to enter the forward positions on the German-Czech border...
The annoyed British Prime Minister Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Daladier immediately flew to Germany and held an emergency meeting with the German Head of State Adolf Hitler and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy Benito Mussolini in Munich, Germany, and at the meeting they signed a declaration of sacrifice.
The "Munich Agreement" for the interests of Czechoslovakia. When the "Agreement" was fully signed, the two Czechoslovak representatives who were waiting for news in the next room were brought into the meeting site and informed of the contents of the "Agreement."
Hitler demanded that the Czech side "must answer within six hours." Due to the situation, Czechoslovakia was forced to agree to cede the Sudetenland. So, what is the content of the historically infamous "Munich Agreement"?
The main content has six aspects: First, Czechoslovakia ceded the Sudetenland to Germany, and the German army completed the occupation of the above-mentioned areas and other areas where Germans accounted for the majority of the residents in stages from October 1 to 10, 1938.
Any equipment must be handed over to Germany in good condition; secondly, other areas of the Czech Republic where it is not yet certain whether the Germans constitute the majority of the residents should be temporarily occupied by an international committee composed of representatives from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic, to be held before the end of November
Referendum to determine their ownership and delineate the final border; third, the Czech government should release the Sudeten political prisoners serving their sentences within four weeks; fourth, the relevant governments must resolve the Polish and Hungarian ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic within three months
Otherwise, the leaders of Germany, Britain, France, and Italy will meet again to discuss; fifth, Britain and France guarantee that the Czech-New Zealand border will not be invaded; sixth, when the issue of ethnic minorities in the Czech Republic has been resolved, Germany, Italy will also take action against the Czech Republic
Provide guarantee.
When British Prime Minister Chamberlain returned to London, he boasted to reporters at the airport: "I bought peace for an entire generation!"
However, in this world, perhaps only Wu Aihua knows how unreliable the so-called promise of Britain and France to "guarantee that the Czechoslovakia border will not be invaded" is. Six months after the signing of the Agreement, Germany will directly send troops to fully occupy Czechoslovakia, and
Britain and France only protested! Only then would Chamberlain understand what a terrible mistake he had made.
Later, the new British Prime Minister Winston Churchill commented on this: The Munich Agreement was the "complete surrender" of Western democracies to the threat of Nazi force and "a shameful defeat for Britain without war"!
However, the great powers in the East have risen, the world is no longer what it was before, and history will no longer be the past. Does Britain still want to continue to be a victorious country?
The person who knows this most clearly is Adolf Hitler himself. As he made great strides in expansion in Europe, he did not forget about Eastern China, which he cared about every day. When that mysterious young man became the president of the great Eastern country, Hitler not only
He immediately sent a message to express warm congratulations, and personally summoned the Chinese Ambassador to Germany and the representative of the Wehrmacht Representative Office in Berlin, saying that he would quickly send German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop to visit China.
After many contacts between the two sides, the Nazi Foreign Minister, who was sentenced to "death" after the war, finally set foot on Chinese soil in the last week of 1938.
China's new president received Ribbentrop and his party with the most luxurious diplomatic etiquette.
Wu Aihua naturally knew what Ribbentrop wanted. During the talks between the two parties, Wu Aihua made it clear that he "understood Germany's behavior" and expressed limited moral support for it. As for the Chinese proposal proposed by Ribbentrop,
Germany and Germany concluded a "political and military alliance" to counter the threat of the British, French and Soviet powers. Wu Aihua rejected the Nazi Foreign Minister's proposal on the grounds that "China is a weak country, but it is a big country in terms of territory."
However, in a series of economic, technical and trade plans proposed by Ribbentrop, Wu Aihua gave the green light: China will export 1,200 "T-36" heavy tanks and 400 kh1945 (Xiao) to Germany in the next two years.
Dragon 1) dive bombers, 200 kz1945 (Eagle Dragon 1) fighter aircraft, as well as food, cloth and other daily necessities worth 200 million Chinese yuan.
At the same time, in order to show "respect" to General Walter von Brauchitsch and General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, who have visited China for the past year and a half, Wu Aihua specially prepared a small gift for them.
, Mr. Tori Bintrop took it back. However, Wu Aihua specially warned that this small gift must not be known to the Japanese, otherwise China and Germany would not even be friends.
What is this little gift? It is actually a tactical summary of the previous tank swarm operations of the National Defense Forces, as well as a "discussion" on the role of large-scale tank swarms in future wars.
Guderian is an expert in "tank warfare". As soon as he sees this gift, he will definitely be able to formulate tank tactics that are more outstanding than those in history. Wu Aihua is looking forward to such a result, so he came up with this idea.

ps: I replied earlier yesterday, so I updated it in advance. By the way, I won’t charge you more: this volume is a necessary transition volume, it won’t be too long, and I will return to the war scene soon. At that time,
