Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the heart of defense is indispensable
Regarding Xiong Dazhen's stubbornness, Yang Zhen smiled indifferently. He criticized Xiong Dazhen because he hoped that he could be more restrained in front of others, not to always have a bad temper, and not to retaliate for offending others. Things, let people catch his pigtails, leave people with a reason to punish him,
But in front of him, Yang Zhen still relatively liked his sincerity. Although this person had many problems, and in some people's words, he was full of the poverty of a petty bourgeois intellectual, he was serious and responsible for his work. But it is also difficult for ordinary people to compare.
But I like it, but it is not easy to get through this guy with a bad temper. I think this talk will not be cheap, but Yang Zhen knows that it is very expensive. But he didn't want Xiong Dazhen to feel any resistance in his heart because of this matter.
Although Yang Zhen didn't want to say something too clearly, for this guy, it's impossible not to explain some things clearly, otherwise the more serious energy unique to the intellectuals doing research in his era would come up and it would be difficult to make it clear. I don’t dare to be tough in public, but it is essential to do some small tricks in private.
After thinking carefully about how to persuade this guy, Yang Zhen slowly said: "Our foundation is weak now, almost all our belongings are here, we can't take any risks, everything Jiangbei does is based on our own Profit comes first, and to them, we are just a pawn in a chess game."
"Once they think that our development threatens their interests, they will not hesitate to nip us in the bud, and we are so close to the Americans now. This is obviously not in Jiangbei's interests. It’s just that they are still under observation and the development of the international situation makes them taboo.”
"The most important thing is that our growth is in their interests now. Although Jiangbei's vision is a bit short-sighted, it is not stupid. By supporting us, we can at least maintain a strength that can compete with the Kwantung Army. For There are no advantages or disadvantages to them.”
"But the war on the European battlefield cannot burn for too long. Even if Jiangbei joins the war, it will end one day. Once the war is over, Jiangbei believes that we will no longer act according to their will or threaten us. Who can guarantee their interests and whether they will attack us?"
"Whether it is the central government or us, our cooperation with Jiangbei is only to get what we need. It is not like the parties in other countries who follow Jiangbei's baton and completely obey their commands. This is already a problem for Jiangbei. The seeds of distrust and even estrangement were planted.”
"Once Jiangbei thinks that we need to replace ourselves with a leader who is more obedient and more obedient to their commands, and does not accept their development model and follows our own development path, will it be possible to truly achieve peace in Europe and take action directly after there is no threat in the west?" .”
"Old Xiong, we can't use Chinese common sense to estimate their thoughts and ideas. To take a step back, even if we have always maintained a brotherly and comradely relationship with them, Old Xiong, don't you think our property will be put aside? Is it extremely dangerous to be at a distance where someone can kill you with just one slap? You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others."
"Even if we are blood brothers, after we separate and live separately, we will not put all the property under the eyes of our brothers. Besides, we are not only brothers, we are not a nation, let alone a country, and we are not even in the territory. There are still great disputes over the understanding of certain things.”
"It's just that our power is too weak now. We can only suppress certain things in our hearts and cannot say them out, and try our best to cover up our differences. We cannot guarantee what will happen in the future, or even in the next ten years. Twenty years from now, if we can still maintain the current relationship with Jiangbei, we must be careful in selecting the locations of various large factories."
"As for the time required for infrastructure construction, I don't think it is a big deal. Lao Xiong, building a factory is not about building a building. It is about being meticulous and exquisite. Can a large factory use a frame structure with a faster construction speed? , Jiangbei already has mature experience in this regard."
"When Jiangbei developed Siberia, their conditions were worse than ours now, but they also completed the construction of industrial infrastructure in a short period of time. Although I don't agree with some of their ways of handling things, on this point we completely Can we learn from their experience in this area?”
"Moreover, by seizing the Japanese cement factories in Harbin and Qiqihar, we have solved the problem of the largest amount of cement. We can basically achieve self-sufficiency in the largest amount of raw materials required for the project. The infrastructure costs can also be met. It’s much lower than before.”
"One more thing, Lao Xiong, tell me the truth. Even if your factories have completed the installation of infrastructure and equipment, can they be put into production immediately? I can't see it. There are no corresponding workers, especially a large number of workers." "Skilled workers, even if I give you a complete factory, you won't be able to put it into production."
"Our current industrial plan, so far only, can be said to be the largest industrialization movement since China opened its door to the outside world in modern times. Not only is it inferior to the so-called golden decade of the National Government, which only developed some light industries, but it was also The Manchu Qing government’s Westernization Movement was far from comparable.”
"Because we are not solely developing light industry, nor are we solely developing the defense industry, but we are taking advantage of this relatively favorable international environment to build our own industrial base for heavy industry, starting from heavy industry, until we reach a relatively complete heavy industry system."
"What we want to create is not the several cars that Zhang Xueliang used to hand-assemble by relying on foreign parts, nor is it like the National Government's aircraft assembly plant, which relied on imported aircraft for everything except for the participation of Chinese people in assembly. .”
"We must not only be able to manufacture our own guns and cannons, but also mass-produce China's first batch of cars and first batch of aircraft, and establish our Chinese's first large-scale non-ferrous metal smelting, petroleum refining and chemical industry that is completely Chinese. In the large-scale chemical industry, as well as the Chinese's own large-scale steel-making enterprises, you must know that the steel output of only 500,000 tons is not our goal."
“With the introduction of several large projects this time, we can almost say that we don’t have much experience to draw on, and even if we can draw on a small amount of foreign experience, it may not be suitable for us. Everything has to be started from scratch. Basically, There is no foundation on it, so we have to start from scratch, which is indeed very difficult, but this large-scale construction is both a challenge and an opportunity for us."
"We can take a simultaneous approach of building infrastructure on the one hand, and training and educating workers on the other. This way, there is no conflict in terms of time, and the most important thing is that so far, in our steelmaking plants and non-ferrous metal smelting plants, This is just on paper. Even if all these factories are built, do you have the corresponding raw materials?"
"The aluminum needed to make aircraft, the steel needed to make tanks, cars, and heavy artillery, all of these things still need to be imported from Jiangbei or the United States. Judging from our current material reserves, there are basically no aluminum products, and steel strategic materials , we can only guarantee steel for artillery shells and steel for military production."
"The steel reserves currently on hand in the military region are still far from enough to meet your needs for the production of cars and tanks. You, Xiong Dazhen, should understand the differences between armor steel, automobile steel and gun steel. Between them, It can even be compared to a world of difference. Apart from the same steel character, there is almost no similarity."
"Judging from the current financial resources of the base area, there is not enough money to import all the required raw materials, and there are not so many channels to import cars, aircraft and tanks, as well as various artillery, which are indeed needed by the current army, but It’s not urgently needed.”
"The current number of vehicles and reserves of the army, plus the number of subsequent imports, are enough for the army to use within a period of time, and have also reached the peak of our logistical fuel supply, and the aircraft we import from the United States and the Soviet Union have also The number can be guaranteed to compete with the Japanese army for air supremacy within a certain period of time. Moreover, the training of qualified pilots also requires a lot of time."
"As for the number of artillery, in addition to the shortage of anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank artillery, according to the current equipment and reserve quantity of the army, plus some artillery captured in last summer's battle, the number of wild mountain howitzers is barely enough to maintain a to two years of use.”
"And as a key import project, we have been importing gun steel from the United States and Jiangbei. Especially after opening up relations with the United States, the imported gun steel can not only meet our current needs, but also has a considerable amount. The reserves, at least the amount of steel you currently use to produce artillery, are still sufficient."
“Therefore, the military region’s previously imported materials have been oil, bullet casing copper, communication equipment parts, optical instruments, steel for guns, smokeless gunpowder and chemical products such as gunpowder, as well as armor steel and aluminum products required for the production of aircraft. There are almost no imports.”
"That is to say, even if your factories are established now, before our own non-ferrous metal smelting plants, petroleum refineries and steel plants are put into operation, or before we obtain large-scale foreign aid, and we have specially allocated a large amount of funds to In addition to importing, we also face the dilemma of having no rice to cook with.
"With the current financial resources of the military region, there is simply not enough money for you to import raw materials. Without the source of raw materials, even if you Lao Xiong completes the construction of all these factories, it will not produce the effect we want. On the contrary, it will increase It reduces the financial burden of the military region.”
"Of course, the fact that financial resources are not tilted towards this aspect does not mean that the military region does not pay attention to it, because compared with armor steel and aluminum used in aircraft, copper for bullet cases and steel for guns are more urgently needed by us. However, if we do not import it now, it does not mean that It will not be necessary in the future. Our armored forces will always need to be expanded, and our aviation units will also need to be strengthened."
"The most fundamental thing is that we have to use this rare opportunity to create our own aviation, armor and automobile industries. But for us at present, these things are not the most urgently needed. We cannot waste food because of choking and reduce the current level of All limited financial resources are invested in these costly industries."
