"Yes, if we get rid of those unequal agreements and just take out the Middle Eastern Railway, the Soviet side will really stick to us" Ma Zhanshan Road. ￥℉，

"I don't think we're whimsical?" Xu Feng suddenly said this, and everyone laughed

This is really whimsical, but you have to dare to think about it, you don't even dare to think about it, how to negotiate with the Russians?

"My opinion is to set up a temporary takeover committee for the Eastern Railway, China and the Soviet Union will first send people to take over the Eastern Railway, and resume operation as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to both sides, first calculate all the assets of the Eastern Railway, and then take over, so that the resettlement of thousands of railway workers can be solved as soon as possible, as for the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, you can take your time, one by one, one by one, grasp the principle and do not relax, this is our strategy" Dong Lei said slowly.

"Why don't you set up a railroad operating company?" Xing Zhanqing proposed...

"That's a good idea, let's call it the China Eastern Railway Corporation," Ma Zhanshan praised and proposed.

"China Eastern Railway Corporation, this name is good, I think it's okay" Xu Feng also agreed.

"I just don't know if the Soviet side will agree to our proposal?" Ma Zhanshan said with some concern.

The Russians have an arrogant personality, and they are born with the character of Lao Tzu is the boss, and only others have obeyed him, but he has not yet obeyed others, and if this proposal is put forward by the Chinese side, they may probably refuse it for the sake of saving face

Such examples were not uncommon in Soviet Russia, where Russians had more face than anyone else

"The suspension of the Middle Eastern Railway for one day is a loss of tens of thousands of rubles, which is not a small loss, although we also urgently need to put the railway into operation, but for now, we do not see any gains," Xing Zhanqing said.

"What does Lao Xing mean that the Russians are more anxious than us?" Xu Feng said.

"Of course, although they have a Trans-Siberian Railway, the Eastern Railway is more economically important than the Trans-Siberian Railway, so they should be more anxious than we are," Xing Zhanqing explained.

"Yes, even if the railway resumes operation, we will only go to Manchuria in the west and Suifenhe in the east, and the train will not be able to leave the country, which will not have a great impact on us, as long as the Kwantung Army does not launch a large-scale offensive," Xu Feng said.

"We can't control the resumption of operation of the main railway, but the branch line can be moved first, and we need to engage in industrial construction, which requires a large amount of coal, iron, copper, and so on. These can only be shipped by train," Dong Lei said.

"This can be done first. All kinds of procurement equipment we purchased from Germany are also about to arrive, as soon as the equipment arrives, we can do a big job," Ma Zhanshan said excitedly.

"Yes, our country is poor and backward, the industrial foundation is weak, if you don't catch up, you will be thrown more and more by others, and a country can only be strong when its industry is strong, its national defense can be strong, so even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron. We also want to build up our own big industry," Dong Lei said with a firm expression.

"To engage in industry, technology, equipment and talents are indispensable, and we can say that we do not have any of the three," Ma Zhanshan said.

"We develop our own technology while introducing it, and the equipment can be bought. You can also make it yourself, as for talents, what is not lacking in the huge China is people, we dig, not at home, abroad, I don't believe it, with our Chinese's smart brains are not comparable to foreigners," Dong Lei said fiercely.

"Where does the money come from, the approach of Soviet Russia is to concentrate the strength of the whole country to build a large industry, can we follow this path?" Xing Zhanqing proposed.

"If there is a unified China now. This is a feasible way, but for us, no, the people are too bitter, and if we do this, we will first be abandoned by the people, so we can only find another way" Dong Lei does not deny the superiority of the socialist system, and concentrates on doing great things, practice has proved that this can be done, and capitalism has completed industrialization with hundreds of years of events. It took less than thirty years for Soviet Russia, but it was based on the unification of the country and the passage of government decrees.

This does not apply to the current Predator. At least not for now.

But if you want to build a big industry, where will the money come from. Dong Lei also has no ability to turn stones into gold, this money can only find another way, although the industry in Fengtian can provide some funds, but those money is a drop in the bucket for the current situation.

Do what you can, rigorous and meticulous argumentation, and a complete and thorough plan, this is what Dong Lei thinks in his heart

For the time being, there is another principle, that is, the military first, then the people, give priority to the development of the military industry, and then bring about the civilian industry

Every world war will bring about a huge scientific and technological innovation, and it is undeniable that war has a huge effect on the promotion of science and technology.

Although peace-loving people all over the world do not like war, war has given rise to many new technologies in another way, and these new technologies have made people's lives easier and easier

Many technologies are dual-use, such as radio, which can be used for secret communication in the military, and ordinary people can also use it to bring greetings and blessings to distant relatives.

In the future, it is difficult to define that this technology can only be used by the military, but not by the civilian sector, in fact, many civilian technologies are eliminated or upgraded by military technology

"The problem of money can be open source and reduce expenditure, streamline government agencies, reduce expenditures, this is only one aspect, open source, regulate the market, formulate a reasonable tax policy, put an end to harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and severely crack down on gangster forces, this article must be done persistently, to give the people a safe sky, they are willing to pay taxes to the government, and it must be much less than the previous payment, in addition, the policy of tax reduction and exemption of privileges should be canceled, especially in the railway, this should be negotiated with the Soviet and Russian sides, If this part of the tax is collected, we will have a lot more money on hand," Dong Lei said, "In addition, if we introduce policies to encourage business and investment, whether it is Chinese or foreigners, as long as it does not violate the laws we have formulated, they can invest in our territory, and if there is a lack of funds, they can provide certain low-interest loans through banks."

"Commander Dong, I think we should set up our own bank and issue our own currency," Xu Feng suddenly proposed.

"Xu Feng's proposal is very good, I also have this idea, we can indeed issue our currency, I believe that with our credit, the currency should be able to get a good circulation" Dong Lei nodded.

"The total amount of new money issued should not be too large, and I think it can be in the form of silver dollars and paper money," Ma Zhanshan proposed.

"Well, the issuance of currency is a major event, and it needs to be cautious, the equipment for minting currency, as well as the design of banknotes, British technology, etc., it will take half a year to more than a year to prepare alone," Xing Zhanqing reminded.

"The design of this can be openly solicited, brainstorming, as for the equipment, we can introduce, British technology is also a problem, mainly anti-counterfeiting, paper money around the world have encountered counterfeiting problems, I think, can be a variety of technologies together. Learn from others. You can also create it yourself, as long as it is a good idea and idea, it is worth our study," Dong Lei said with a smile.

"You can set up a research team first, start it first, and then improve the "Mazhan Mountain Road."

"Brother Ma's idea is good, we can't talk about it, we must do it, so that we can realize it step by step," Dong Lei affirmed.

"The question of money can be borrowed, ask Soviet Russia to borrow, ask the United States to borrow. Ask the UK to borrow, as long as they are willing to lend to us, there are no too harsh additional conditions, we can borrow. Don't be afraid of more debts, the more debts, the less afraid we are," Dong Lei said.

Dong Lei is well aware of the social status quo in later generations, that is, if there are too many debts, there is no worry, and if there are too many lice, it will not itch. In the next generation, those who don't owe money are uncles.

"Haha......"

"The more money we borrow, the more those creditors are afraid that we won't be able to do it, and if the Japanese do something to us, then we have to estimate, if the Japanese wipe us out, who will those creditors ask for money?"

"Hehe, that's the truth, as long as you can borrow money. The more confidence we have, so don't be afraid to borrow money, the more money we borrow, the safer it is," Dong Lei said with a smile.

"These countries are not fools either, are they willing to lend us money?" Xu Feng asked rhetorically.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, as long as it is profitable, and it is worth taking risks, no one will be unwilling, besides, you forget the tons of gold we seized when we fought Qiqihar, these are hard currency in the eyes of foreigners." Dong Lei said.

The country that Dong Lei wants to cooperate with most is Germany. followed by the United States, and then France, these three countries have greater hopes for cooperation, while the old capitalist country of the United Kingdom, Dong Lei is not hopeful. The reason, of course, is the rigidity and arrogance of the British Empire, and the fact that Japan is now the younger brother of Britain. Dong Lei also does not have any good feelings towards the UK

Of course, there are some European countries that Dong Lei wants to cooperate, such as Belgium and the Czech Republic, these two countries he really hopes to cooperate, Belgium and the Czech Republic, the two countries of light weapons manufacturing technology is still very good.

As for his neighbor Soviet Russia, he himself is importing Western technology, but there are still some things that attract Dong Lei, especially the design of weapons and the design and manufacture of aircraft have a fairly good foundation.

Some of the technologies may have long been outdated in the West, but for China, they are still relatively practical, at least at a low price.

What Dong Lei can get his hands on is the design of various light firearms in his mind, which will be a stepping stone for him to open up cooperation with other countries

Is there anyone in this world who knows more about the development history of light firearms in the world than Dong Lei?

Just the hundreds of design drawings of various rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and pistols in his head, selling a random design can make him a millionaire or even a multimillionaire, not to mention, he has not only light firearms in his mind, but also the technical parameters of grenade launchers, rocket launchers, rocket launchers, and other weapons he has used

If you have this thing in your head, it means that this will exist in the future, and if you exist in the future, it will naturally be able to be created, as long as you go in this direction, maybe not in one or two years, three or four years?

As long as you find the right person and find the right direction, what can't be created?

"Commander Dong, the meal is ready." Xiao Qi came in at this time and reported.

"Then eat, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry and panic" Dong Lei stood up and said with a big hand.

At the dinner table, there was still no discussion about the talks on the Middle Eastern Railway, and everyone brainstormed and was always able to think of what they didn't expect and do what they didn't do well.
