Hongkou is now crowded with people. Jiang Qiang requires that all Hongkou be planned into residential areas. The road width must reach 80 meters. This is a rigid standard. From Hongkou to Yangpu to Baoshan, all roads along the Huangpu River are 80 meters wide.
There are roads, greening projects, resting places by the river, small parks, small restaurants, small tea pavilions, etc. No one else is allowed to invest in real estate in Hongkou for the time being. All those who open shops must apply for a business license from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Business, and there are no brothels, casinos or opium dens in Hongkou. Anyone found to be operating a opium den will be shot without anyone asking for permission. Then Wang Yaqiao was invited back to be the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau. At this time, Wang Yaqiao
Still very willing
Today, Tongji University invited Hengsan to give a speech at Tongji University. Tang Juwu said, you can go, but you are going on behalf of the government and Hongkou District. Don't talk nonsense. You can go to any school. And we are dealing with foreigners.
When we are facing the bandits, when we face the citizens of Shanghai, we are their patron saints, eh.
In the afternoon, Hengsan came to Tongji University wearing a police uniform. The students there applauded enthusiastically. Hengsan said, you are the pillars of this country. We are just rough guys. We only know how to fight and protect our Shanghai citizens.
When this country is at peace, the future construction and prosperity of the country will depend on students like you. You are the hope of our future in China.
Many students applauded with tears in their eyes, and some students asked Hengsan to sign. Hengsan said, just sign, and your parents will definitely scold you when you go back. Your classmate’s handwriting is too ugly.
The guy is not serious in class, and there are words written like this, even the words "dog crawling" are prettier than him. Everyone thinks this is true. The students think Heng San is simply too cute, so some of them say this about themselves, but the students
I feel that Hengsan is still very friendly.
A classmate asked, you are the chief of the police now. If there is a war, will you go to the battlefield? Hengsan said that although I am a policeman, I am still a soldier. When the country needs me, I will not hesitate.
It is a soldier's mission to go to the front line of the battlefield with a gun.
The classmates applauded vigorously. At this time, a tall girl suddenly walked up to Hengsan, kissed him and said, you are the greatest hero in my heart, I love you very much, Hengsan.
His face turned red all of a sudden, and then all the students were booing. Hengsan said, I love you too, and I love this country even more. And I also love you students. Even if I lose my life for you, I will ensure that you
Safety, this is the commitment of a soldier. Thank you to all your classmates.
Those teachers were very satisfied with what Heng San said in the end. They thought, they didn’t have any rhetoric, they would blush even when they spoke, but they were trying their best to maintain the safety of Shanghai. They used to be a gang of Qing Gang gangsters that everyone hated.
, but they were lucky enough to meet Lai San. Now they have fundamentally changed. They are now building new Great Walls for this country. Their hearts completely belong to this country.
Hengsan's face suddenly turned red on the road. This was the first time for him to kiss a girl. This was because Hengsan felt that spring was coming. Although it was the twelfth lunar month, spring for Hengsan had already come. Hengsan didn't want to
This group of people framed us. We are just a bunch of little gangsters. Where did these students come to love us? This time it was indeed a blessing in disguise. Haha, that time they were collecting protection money for General Tang Juwu. They were worried about it. Lai San was also done by them.
, this group of people just don’t want to see the gangsters bullying the common people, and they don’t want to take advantage of the blood of their fellow martyrs, so they force us to be like them. There is also the Tiger Head Gang. Aren’t you defecting to the Japanese? Let us let you each other
Massacre, so that the gate of Hongkou was opened by the Hutou helper. These people were simply too cruel.
Their military strength is not very strong yet, so they still need to use Lai San to escort them. Anyway, Lai San is still in Hunan. If he wants to go back to Shanghai, he still needs the nod of these people. Haha, this is so cruel.
Even if their weapons were too powerful, some of those little Japanese were blown to pieces. This was not a war, it was a massacre. Today, General Tang Juwu went to visit the American Consulate. The consul of the American Consulate, Hawkins, came out to greet Tang Juwu.
Fifth General, only then did they know that this guy was behind the scenes.
Tang Juwu said to you, Mr. Hawkins, hello, General Tang. How can I help you? Mr. Hawkins, I want to order a series of warships in the United States. Also, we need a large number of manufacturing workers. I know that you are unemployed in the United States.
The rate has reached the most dangerous time. I think your government will definitely agree. This is the warship we designed. We ask you to produce 8 "Fletcher-class" class destroyers, as well as the main submarine "Haima" of the submarine brigade.
", "Sea Snake" two ships"
"class submarines. Fifty each, and six huge warships, including two 9,700-ton "Treaty"-class heavy cruisers and four "Omaha"-class light cruisers of more than 7,000 tons.
Tang Juwu said that this should relieve the pressure on your country's economy. I will give you twenty hours. If not, we will entrust the German government to manufacture it for us. We also hope that you will train our navy in time and we will pay you wages.
Their other request is to ask you to send Major McGiffin's widow to Shanghai, because our country still lacks a late military medal for Major McGiffin, thank you.
At this time, Hawkins was dumbfounded when he saw the huge order. The order must be at least two billion US dollars. He immediately reported it to the White House. At this time, the unemployment rate in the United States had reached 40% and the economy was facing collapse. Suddenly, there was
Such a large order solved the biggest problem in the United States. Of course, I agreed. The next day, Hawkins and Tang Juwu signed a contract, and the United States provided two thousand technicians for the wharf in Hongkou District. Jiang Qiang also started
The gantry crane was designed because there was no gantry crane at this time and all unloading was done manually.
Baoshan began to build the largest wharf in the world. Baoshan Wharf used a total of fifty gantry cranes and covered an area of more than 500 acres. Guo Xiaoliu attracted nearly half a million refugees from Tongzhou to Hongkou. The entire Hongkou was already a huge
The construction site and the Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant have also started construction. The large-scale steel plant with an investment of 200 million US dollars is the largest steel plant in Asia. Next to the steel plant is the Shanghai Automobile Manufacturing Plant, which cooperates with Germany, specializing in the production of trucks and military jeeps.
, the Shanghai Special Steel Factory was established, and the Shanghai Auto Parts Processing Factory was also established. The Shanghai Steel Pipe Factory, the Shanghai Bicycle Factory produced Phoenix brand bicycles, the Shanghai Spring Factory was established, and the Shanghai High-Pressure Valve Factory was established. Shanghai Science and Technology Electronics Company, Shanghai
Agricultural Machinery Factory produces tractors, establishes Shanghai Standard Parts Processing Factory, establishes Shanghai Industrial Production Factory, establishes Shanghai Stainless Steel Research Institute, Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Shanghai Daily Chemicals Factory, and also establishes Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Care
product factory, the Shanghai Electronics Processing Factory was established, and the Housing Group Co., Ltd. was established. The Shanghai Industrial Park Community, with a total investment of five billion US dollars, is the largest industrial park in the world, covering an area of nearly 30,000 acres.
This is how huge industrial parks were formed.
At this time, Tang Juwu and Mayor Cao were shocked. Nearly 7 billion US dollars had been spent in one go. This was something he had never dared to think about. Jiang Qiang was confident that he would start printing banknotes himself.
There is no problem if you don’t use gold. It’s just a matter of putting the eggs in this basket into another basket. Today is the day when Major Ma Jifen’s widow arrived in Shanghai. All the officials in Shanghai went to Shiliupu Pier to greet Major Ma Jifen’s widow.
.
The citizens of Shanghai didn’t know who brought all the officials from the Hongkou District Government to greet this big shot. At this time, all the big guys from the concession and various consuls came to watch the fun. At this time, the American warships had already docked, and everyone saw a lot of people.
An American old lady was walked over, and Tang Juwu stepped forward. Standing in front of them was a white-haired old American lady who was nearly seventy years old. Tang Juwu and Mayor Cao
He saluted the old woman with a standard military salute and said loudly: "Dear Mrs. Maggie Fen, please allow me to express my lofty condolences to you and your family behind you on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the one million soldiers in Shanghai.
Respect!
After finishing speaking, Tang Juwu picked up the microphone handed over by an attendant and said loudly to everyone around him: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, you may not know who this gray-haired lady is, but now I can tell you
, this lady’s husband’s name is Philo Norton Magiffin. Forty-four years ago, Major Philo Norton Magiffin served in China’s Northern Fleet. In that world-famous battle forty-four years ago,
On the eve of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Major Ma Jifen was thirty-four years old. He had served in the Beiyang Fleet for a full ten years. He devoted his most precious youth to the Beiyang Navy. On the eve of the naval battle, he was supposed to retire.
I took a vacation and returned to the United States to reunite with my family. Unfortunately, China and Japan declared war at that time. Major Ma Jifen said in a letter to his family, "China and Japan are about to go to war. We will probably never see each other again, but I must
Stay at your post. During the ten years I have served in China, they have always been kind to me. It would be so shameful to abandon them at this time." Major Ma Jifen, who took the initiative to cancel his leave, expressed this to the Chinese navy and government through actions.
His loyalty to this country. In the naval battle forty-four years ago, Major McGiffin used his bravery and actions to show his courage and loyalty to his Chinese colleagues.
At this time, the engineers and technicians staying on the dock heard General Tang Juwu speak in his poor American English. At the same time, thousands of American naval officers and soldiers who got off several warships understood,
It turned out that the dozen or so people who had been traveling across the ocean with them for more than half a month were identified. Under the orders of the officers, all the American soldiers stood at attention and saluted these people.
received a military salute.
General Tang Juwu continued: "After the defeat of our Beiyang Navy, Major Ma Jifen wrote in his last letter to his wife: "Dear, I have served in this fleet for ten full years, and I have
I regard this fleet as my home, and I regard this land as my second motherland. Now that this fleet has been defeated, hundreds of colleagues who shared life and death have also died in the battle, and now it is my turn as well.
It's time to fulfill my promise. My dear, do you know? How much I love this fleet. Now that it is gone, my soul will go with it. Major McGiffin committed suicide immediately after leaving his will.
, our Qing government at that time sent the remains of Major McGiffin back to the United States and back to his hometown, but I am very sorry that such a heroic soldier was treated unfairly in his hometown. I can't help but
We need to ask the U.S. government to ask: Is this how they treated a warrior of the United States of America who died generously?"
After hearing General Tang Juwu's accusation, some of the many engineers and technicians who came on the same ship couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This son of a bitch, how dare he treat a warrior of our United States like this! Those American naval officers and soldiers
Although they didn't curse out loud after hearing this, they couldn't help but secretly curse the American politicians, these son-of-a-bitch politicians.
"Although Major Ma Jifen received unfair treatment in China and the United States at that time, his contribution to the Chinese Navy and his loyalty to China will not be forgotten by China on the other side of the ocean. Now I represent the Shanghai Municipal Government
The Shanghai Municipal Government and the more than 10 million citizens under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Municipal Government pay high respect to Major Magiffin and his family, and specially award Major Philo Norton Magiffin with the highest medal of the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Special Combat Hero Medal! Respect Mrs. Magiffin
, please allow me to dedicate this medal and this flag to you in the name of a grateful country and the Shanghai Municipal Government! To thank your husband for his honorable, loyal and respectable service to the country.
, please allow us to use this flag to represent the entire country and the Shanghai Municipal Government to express our gratitude to him and you. You have a good husband worthy of our admiration.
After speaking, General Tang Juwu slowly took out a shining silver special battle hero medal, a certificate issued by Shanghai City, and a folded triangle-shaped flag of the Shanghai Legion from a tray held by the soldiers beside him.
It was handed into the hands of Mrs. McGiffin. When Mrs. McGiffin opened the certificate, she saw that it was written in English and Chinese at the same time: I would like to use this medal to commemorate a person who, although he loved his motherland deeply, devoted his life to the other side.
Flag Land Warriors.
At this time, a bugler standing behind General Tang Juwu raised the copper bugle from his armpit, put it to his mouth and slowly blew the lights-out horn.
Amidst the sound, a group of soldiers wearing white uniforms and holding rifles came from the side. They slowly came to the side and stood up one after another under the officer's order. They pointed their muzzles at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees and listened.
The commander's command was to prepare to see off his robe in a military manner.
"Ready! Release!"
"bump!"
"Ready! Release!"
"bump!"
After receiving the medal and seeing the eulogy on the certificate, the white-haired Mrs. Ma Jifen, who was standing in front of General Tang Juwu, still collapsed on the ground and burst into tears. More than ten family members behind her also began to cry.
Fourteen years later, Major McGiffin finally restored his reputation in a foreign country.
When the gunfire ended, the soldiers lined up again and saluted Mrs. Magiffin and the family behind her before walking away slowly in goose steps.
At this time, the eight destroyers anchored in the port all turned their guns and began to fire salutes. "Boom, boom, boom," the white smoke from the destroyers along with the huge roar resounded through the port. They were using this method.
I would like to express my highest respect to the warrior who, although not Chinese, shed his last drop of blood for China.
