Chapter 480: Bargaining (Part 2)

ps: Thanks to the book friend "Dashan" for voting for 2 monthly votes, please vote again^_^

For Japan, which has only completed primary industrialization, machinery, equipment and technical talents are more valuable than money, and it is not willing to give them to China. However, there are always some things that are not valued in Japan, but the Chinese are very interested in them.

, these may as well go with the flow. For example, the designer of the Nagato-class battleship Fukuda Keiji (historically he was also the designer of the Yamato-class battleship), because the Japanese Navy has given up building battleships.

Although it has been neglected, for China, which lacks warship design talents, it does not matter even if the battleships are about to become obsolete, because China does not even have talents who can design such outdated warships, and it helps the Germans design and build Hindenburg-class battleships.

There was also an urgent need for such world-class battleship designers. As a result, the two sides hit it off, and Fukuda Keiji, his assistants and some students came to China with a worth of US$10 million.

Japan thought it was a profit at first, but later Keiji Fukuda presided over the design of the Hindenburg-class battleship, the strongest in world history, and participated in the design of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier (Note 1), which was later changed.

is fully responsible with the full trust of China’s leadership

The design and construction of large surface warships in New China has brought out many outstanding Chinese disciples, and is known as the "Father of China's large surface warships". This has made the Japanese regretful, and they have always been brooding about their "sold"

Fukuda Keiji never returned to China again in his life

Although Keiji Fukuda lost his usefulness due to the change in the development route of the Japanese navy, he had already achieved fame before. There are also some talents who have never been able to get ahead because of the eyes of their superior departments, such as the former fuel department of the Fushun shale oil factory.

In order to solve the shortcoming of Japan's oil shortage, this person originally invented the sulfuric acid flushing method after several experiments and long-term research, which can process inferior oil materials such as shale oil.

The engineer produces heavy oil of qualified quality, which can be used in heavy oil boilers and large diesel engines. However, his boss has an almost paranoid insistence on "saving" and believes that the sulfuric acid flushing method will cause the loss of about 10% of the raw oil. "What a waste!",

While Abe Ryonosuke's new technology has been put on the shelf, he doesn't want to think about it. Even if it is only 90%, how can the value of power oil be compared with 100% inferior oil that can only burn fires and provide heat?

After the liberation of Northeast China, although Ryanosuke Abe was lucky enough to escape back to the country, he completely lost his usefulness because of the very limited oil shale reserves in Japan, and was forced to change his research direction and study the coal-to-liquids project. At this time, Hu Weidong

After hearing about Abe Ryanosuke's captured colleagues, I became very interested in him. I specifically added him to the list.[

Hu Weidong knows very well that once China completely completes its industrialization, its demand for oil will be extremely terrifying (China's industrialization is less than half completed, and its oil consumption is already astonishing.), and China's domestic oil is not only

Generally buried deep, the cost of extraction is high. Moreover, the reserves are obviously insufficient compared to China’s terrifying future oil demand. The gap can be filled by imports in peacetime, but if you rely too much on imports, once the international situation changes,

, the consequences will be very serious, so in any case, China itself must have production capacity and reserve reserves that can produce at least half of the peacetime requirements. Therefore, Hu Weidong has always attached great importance to substitutes for petroleum such as coal-to-liquid and shale oil.

Among them, the production cost of shale oil is at least lower than that of coal-based oil, and the quality is also better. At the same time, China also has an amazing amount of oil shale reserves (but still far less than the United States), so Abe Ryanosuke naturally

received attention.

Abe Ryanosuke did not want to work for China, the former enemy, at first, but he also wanted to see his research results applied and widely used. His thoughts were very entangled for a while. At this time, the third generation of "Pan-Asianism" was gradually emerging in Japan (

Note 2) Thought gave him the excuse to convince himself

Thanks to the effective political and ideological work of the Red Party members, Ryanosuke Abe finally changed his attitude and led the "artificial petroleum" research team that included shale oil, coal-to-liquids and other branch projects to achieve many important scientific and technological achievements.

, which has made significant contributions to China’s energy security.

In addition to these scientific and technological experts, China has also poached some mid-level technicians and skilled workers from Japan. Some are urgently needed in the country and are highly paid, while others are poached from certain industries in Japan that are currently sluggish but are booming in China.

The asking price is relatively much lower. Although the Japanese authorities know that China

Doing so will shake Japan's foundation, but in the short term, Japan can not only reduce domestic employment pressure, but also obtain additional remittance income. The benefits are still considerable, and it is also very important for Japan to get rid of its dependence on US aid as soon as possible.

Therefore, as long as it is not a critical department, the Japanese authorities still try their best to let it go.

Note 1: At that time, many warship design masters were proficient in the design of more than one type of ship. But the problem was that Japan already had excellent aircraft carrier designers. Therefore, if Fukuda Keiji still stayed in Japan, even if the transformation was successful, he would still be very poor.

Opportunities are hard to come by, and in China, which is a blank slate, the situation is completely different.

Note 2: "Pan-Asianism", also known as "Greater Asia" or "Greater Asia", was originally proposed by some Japanese thinkers around the Meiji Restoration. There are two main views. One is that "Asia is Asia for Asians".

The second is that "Japan has the obligation and responsibility to lead Asia in opposing Western colonial forces." Its ostensible goal is to unite Asian countries to drive out Western colonial forces, but in fact it has become the theoretical basis for Japan to invade Asian countries.

Later, Sun Yat-sen modified it to a certain extent and proposed his own "Pan-Asianism", pointing out that only by working together and complementing each other can China and Japan lead the entire Asia to drive out Western colonial forces and complete the great renaissance of Eastern civilization. However,

Since China is poor, weak and divided, it is basically unable to compete with Japan for leadership in Asia. Therefore, it is useless to talk, but it will have a greater impact on the country.

In this time and space, after the People's Liberation Army defeated the Japanese Army, Japan began to generally realize the power of the People's Liberation Army Army, and New China's "600 million (due to the early realization of peace in the country, the baby boom also occurred early.) 600 million people

The policy of "all soldiers, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and thousands of camps." This made the Japanese completely lose the confidence to expand to the mainland.

In addition, the Japanese army is losing ground, so the traditional idea of ​​"invading China and conquering Asia" is rarely mentioned by the Japanese. Instead, some people begin to advocate that "China controls the land, Japan controls the sea, and the two countries work together to conquer the 'Snow-skinned Dolphin'"

'("white-skinned pigs") are driven out of our Asia." This is the third generation of "Pan-Asianism" (to be continued...)
