Chapter 30 China

The Chinese are not magicians, and John is not a savior. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The ability to maintain economic growth in the midst of the economic crisis and create a miracle is entirely due to China's originally backward industry and huge infrastructure construction. The ten-year plan, which began in 1922, was completed ahead of schedule in 1930. There was no pause at all, and when the economic crisis in the United States broke out, the Chinese immediately began a second ten-year plan - an even larger infrastructure project began!

It has built 30,000 kilometers of railways and 150,000 kilometers of highways, produced more than 12 million tons of steel, generated more than 70 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, produced more than 250 million tons of coal, produced more than 6 million barrels of oil, produced more than 300,000 automobiles, and produced 400,000 tons of ships......

The huge goal comes from the huge domestic market.

In the golden decade after World War I in the United States, China also ushered in its own golden decade, not only completing the first ten-year plan ahead of schedule, but also continuing to grow at a rate of more than 30% per year! The weak foundation gave them great room for growth, and the funds, technology and equipment of the Huntelaar consortium, coupled with the assistance of a large number of international students and German elites, allowed the Chinese to usher in an economic miracle!

After a decade of rapid development, a huge domestic market has also been formed.

In ten years, China has trained 13 million industrial workers, and the traditional small-scale peasant economy agriculture, after the new products such as fertilizers and agricultural machinery assisted by the Huntelaar consortium entered the country, the government began to lead the transformation of modern agriculture in the northeast and other regions. Although the initial investment was huge, this path was persevered. Slightly affluent peasants and a large number of well-paid workers, combined with the knowledge of government officials, the military, and those who are industrial, and business, have bolstered the country's spending power.

As a result, China in 1930 had formed a large market.

At the suggestion of Huntelaar banking experts, China has developed a new 10-year plan, which is fueled by growing market and government tax revenues. Of course, Huntelaar Bank is as supportive as ever and will lend at least $1 billion to China's second 10-year plan!

In the midst of the economic crisis, the Chinese government immediately began to implement it.

In response to the unprecedented economic crisis, China has made it mandatory for all government-funded projects, including railways, water conservancy, electricity, steel, mining, petroleum, and other industries, to purchase domestic products. In recent years, in addition to the Huntelaar consortium, the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium have invested heavily in China and built many technologically advanced factories, so all products can be bought in China.

The rapid growth of the domestic market is also enough to absorb these production capacities.

Or such a huge infrastructure investment, domestic production capacity simply could not be satisfied, so when the time came to the end of 1930, the world economic crisis was unprecedentedly severe, and the American economy completely entered hell, under the auspices of the Huntelaar consortium, the Chinese began the relocation movement of American industry! A large amount of ultra-low-priced steel, oil, shipbuilding, railway, automobile and other manufacturing equipment was transported by Huntelaar Shipping Company to the Far East and flowed into China's industrial veins. And stimulated by the Morgan, Rockefeller and other conglomerates that are profitable from China, more and more American companies have begun to enter China in an attempt to get a piece of the pie from this huge country!

In addition to the Americans, there are also Britain, France, Germany and other countries.

With John's help, from 1930 to the end of 1934, China perfectly copied the Soviets in another world, and even more so than they did!

In another world, Soviet talent was the big winner of the economic crisis.

In 1931, 50% of the machinery and equipment exported by the United States was sold to the Soviet Union. In 1929-1930, 70% of British machine exports went to the Soviet Union, and in 1932 it was as high as 90%. In 1931, 30% of the world's total machine exports went to the USSR, and in 1932 this figure rose to 50%. It is no exaggeration to say that in the thirties of the 20th century, almost all the backbone large enterprises of the Soviet Union were armed with advanced Western technologies. For example, the three major steel plants in the Soviet Union were all built with the aid of the United States, the largest hydropower station on the Dnieper River was built in 1933 with the introduction of American technology and equipment and the employment of American technical experts, and the famous Gorky Automobile Plant was built with the assistance of the American Ford Company......

What is commendable is that while importing a large amount of advanced equipment and technology from the West, the Soviet Union also regarded Western technicians and experts as the focus of the introduction. Due to the emergence of a large number of unemployed technicians in the West during the economic crisis, they accepted the employment of the Soviet Union one after another. In 1929, there were 1,919 foreign specialists and 10,655 technicians working in the USSR, more than five times and 20 times more than in 1928, respectively. In 1932, the number of foreign specialists of various types working in the sector of heavy industry reached 6800. In the United States, the world's largest immigration country, 100,000 skilled workers and engineers applied to move to the Soviet Union......

But in this world, the USSR turned into China.

John had been preparing for this day for far too long, and from the day the World War I ended, many of his things in the United States and China were preparing for this economic crisis. So it was simply not the turn of the Soviets to strike first, and from 1930 onwards, with the help of the Huntelaar consortium, China moved one step ahead. In 1931, 40 percent of the total volume of the world and its exports went to China, 17 percent to the Soviet Union, and by 1933, China's share quickly increased to 75 percent, thanks to increased financial aid from the Huntelaar Bank!

In addition to equipment and technology, there are also a huge number of technical talents!

The West has always spared no effort to denigrate socialism, so the Soviets have never been "kind". China, on the other hand, is a close ally of the United States, and relations between the two countries have always been very good. Coupled with the great influence of Huntelaar, Rockefeller, Morgan and other conglomerates in China, it has affected people's judgment. So under the massive recruitment of the Chinese government, 190,000 technicians came to work in China in three years, and nearly a quarter of them stayed permanently. In particular, the Huntelaar consortium, after the large-scale reduction of production in the domestic factories, they sent almost the entire factory to China, including a huge number of equipment and more skilled workers, including a quarter of the Huntelaar Automobile Company, a third of the shipbuilding, half of the chemical industry, etc......

The time of day, the location, the people, and the Chinese have all occupied.

So when the time came to 1940, the Chinese not only completed the ten-year plan ahead of schedule, but also greatly increased those figures! For example, 36,000 kilometers of railways and 130,000 kilometers of highways have been built, steel production has exceeded 15 million tons, power generation has exceeded 100 billion kilowatt hours, coal production has exceeded 300 million tons, oil production has exceeded 8 million barrels, automobile production has exceeded 500,000 vehicles, and 450,000 tons of ships......

An industrial power has emerged in the East.

Although it is not enough to be called an industrial power, both the Chinese government and John are already very satisfied, after all, it only took them 20 years to develop from a poor and backward country to a relatively large industrial country, which is already a miracle comparable to China in another world!

And more importantly, with the continuous investment of the government and the Huntelaar consortium, China has established and improved a modern education system! They have more than a dozen world-class universities, a large number of technical schools, primary and secondary schools! In 1940, China graduated 800,000 college students every year, of which 550,000 were science and engineering students, far exceeding the number of liberal arts students!

A considerable proportion of them belong to medical students.

By 1940, more than 1,000 people in China were receiving medical doctorates and nearly 20,000 were qualified as medical practitioners every year. As a result of these efforts, there are 46 accredited medical schools, 18 of which belong to the Huntelaar system. And the schools that enjoy a high reputation all over the world, except for Concord, are all Huntelaar schools, and even Concord itself, half of its teachers are from Huntelaar Medical College!
