There are many people who envy Wang Jiuling in the world, and there are also many people who call Wang Jiuling a fool and idiot internationally. However, those who call Wang Jiuling basically envy the French. That kind of good thing of picking up billions of dollars for nothing is actually taken away.
they met
At home, after Chiang Kai-shek confirmed the news, his dentures fell to the ground again, "Mother Xipi, the French are always smart, why are they acting like pigs this time, giving away money and land!"
Song Meiling said: "Darling, this is a bet. I don't know what Wang Jiuling thinks. The German army destroyed France in two months. Even Hitler, the leaders of powerful countries dare not say that, and Wang Jiuling doesn't look like a fool."
Ah! I’m afraid he has another purpose for doing this!”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded. He was now afraid that Wang Jiuling had Liu Wenhui's thoughts. It really didn't matter if he got anything else!
"Yunong, you must pay close attention to the movements of Xikang and Wang Jiuling, and don't let them cause any trouble," Chiang Kai-shek said to Dai Li, the leader of the newly established military command.
Dai Li said: "Yes!"
The other warlords in China are drooling with envy. A province as big as Zhejiang and as fertile has three billion U.S. dollars. Just that three billion U.S. dollars represents ten billion oceans. My dear, I only have a few hundred thousand in savings.
Dayang, it’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
Domestic newspapers are also divided into two factions, and they are equally powerful. One faction believes that Wang Jiuling will definitely win, otherwise he would not bet. Wang Jiuling is not a fool.
The other group believes that Wang Jiuling will not win. Which country in the world does Guo say that he can destroy France in two months? Some newspapers even think that Wang Jiuling is another way of betraying the country.
But for Wang Jiuling, winning or losing is no longer what he cares about. He only knows that with these three billion US dollars, he can drive the Japanese out of the Northeast and China's future will be better.
On December 5, 1933, Wang Jiuling returned to China on a French cruiser. Warships were indeed faster than ships, and they arrived in China in just half a month.
Wang Jiuling disembarked in Hanoi, transferred to a French gunboat, went up the Red River, entered Yunnan, and then took a plane back to Shangri-La
The construction of Xikang is better than before. The arsenal is close to artillery and there are more and more guns. In addition, there is a newly installed Czech ZB-26 production line, which is continuously producing light machine guns.
Before Wang Jiuling came back, he had already sent a report to the arsenal to produce at full capacity. There are now 40 155 mm caliber cannons, and there are also 60 125 mm caliber cannons. After taking over Jiaozhi Province, these artillery pieces will be used as shore supplies.
Anti-gun use
Moreover, the production lines of these artillery were in the process of being perfected before, so there were not many produced, but the production line has been perfected today, and more cannons will be produced in the future. At the same time, Wang Jiuling knows the importance of cannons, and now he has money.
Wang Jiuling naturally wanted to equip his army according to the standards of European powers, so he forgot that he would open several more artillery factories.
The stamping machine tools required for the production of general-purpose machine guns are also on their way back. Wang Jiuling's army will soon have the best machine guns at this time.
And it is universal, but the German bullet caliber standards are different from Wang Jiuling's standards. Before the machine arrives, Wang Jiuling must discuss it with his technicians. Maybe they have better suggestions for improvement.
Wang Jiuling told the arsenal and others that all production in Xikang must be simple, easy to use, and capable of large-scale production. Wang Jiuling also analyzed with them why they should do this.
Naturally, it is a principle of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but it is very effective for these people. They have witnessed the rise of Xikang with their own eyes. They have stayed in other places for so long and have never seen other warlords like Wang Jiuling.
, so concerned about education, technology, and people's livelihood, those warlords only know how to desperately plunder the people's wealth, sell opium, and engage in military warfare, allowing foreigners to oppress the Chinese within their jurisdiction, and finally make the people miserable.
What they saw in Xikang was exactly the opposite. There were foreigners here, but they did not have any privileges. Wang Jiuling worked hard to make money but used all of it to build factories, build roads, support education, support the 29th Route Army in the anti-Japanese war, and the volunteers in the Northeast.
It was all supported by Wang Jiuling's money.
All of them knew that Wang Jiuling was responsible for all the military expenses of the 50,000-strong Twenty-ninth Route Army, including food, drink, and drinking, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. In addition, Wang Jiuling also sent a large number of personnel to participate in the Twenty-ninth Route Army.
Lu Jun beats the Japanese
Everything they know and see indicates that Wang Jiuling may be a warlord, but if China's warlords can do this, then why should China be rich and why can't it drive foreigners out of China?
And although many of their wages in Xikang are even lower than in other places before, they are still willing to stay here. In addition to retirement security, the government will also provide living guarantees if they lose their labor due to work-related injuries.
, instead of using you if you are useful, treating you like a boss, and kicking you if you are not useful.
Here every month you can feel the power of the country and the dignity of being a human being. Even if you are a janitor or a cleaning lady, everyone will be polite and will not look down upon your work.
Of course, this is also due to Wang Jiuling's spiritual civilization construction. Wang Jiuling feels that the so-called shackles of Confucianism are actually the best tools to restrain people's morality. Of course, Wang Jiuling has also made appropriate modifications.
However, at this moment when Wang Jiuling was vigorously promoting the New Culture Movement across the country, he was protecting Confucian culture and respecting Confucius, which made Wang Jiuling and Xikang subject to criticism from the New Culture elements. However, Wang Jiuling did not care, and history would eventually prove that he was right.
Xikang's newspapers also vigorously promoted the importance of Confucian civilization under the instruction of Wang Jiuling, and analyzed why Xikang did what it did. Many people finally thought about it carefully, and it did make some sense.
But for the people in Xikang, they don’t care what those New Culture Movement elements are saying. Anyway, they will definitely follow Chairman Wang from now on, otherwise they will probably go hungry again when others come.
This is also why many other forces have been operating in Xikang for a long time and found that the people in Xikang are simply pedantic and have no ideological consciousness.
Therefore, everyone works very hard. Most of them have experienced hardships, with little food, little drink, and no clothes. However, since Chairman Wang came to power in Xikang, life has steadily improved, and now they can all eat white rice.
Now, we can still eat meat, which was something we wouldn’t even have thought of a year ago.
And those small vendors no longer have to worry about gangsters coming to collect protection fees, nor do they have to pay homage to the police every month. Their life is so comfortable.
The same goes for big businessmen. Although the commercial tax has increased a bit, they don't have to worry about doing things anymore. It's actually much more cost-effective than before, so they feel more confident. And if they want to do some business now, as long as it's legal, the government will fully support it.
