Chapter 249: Rerouting Plan

At this time, everyone was satisfied, and felt that the Germans were rigorous and reliable, and they were able to come up with such an advanced method to show the performance of the western Sichuan munitions to the fullest, and inadvertently wiped out Liu Yun's credit.

Li Hans immediately understood, saw the blue eyes of this guy, and immediately told the dignitaries attending the meeting that the West Sichuan Arsenal had already shipped some munitions, including rifles, machine guns, artillery, tanks and planes, but the number was smaller, and it could equip four or five thousand people at most. In order to make friends with everyone, these arms are given to everyone as gifts, well, not for everyone, but for each independent force, about 1,000 rifles, two or three cannons, and one tank (one) for each of them.

Well, I have to admit that this gift is very tempting. Deng Xihou and Ma Hongbin both know in their hearts, and everyone else has seen the world, seeing that Hans dares to do this, that is, he is not afraid that everyone will inspect the goods on the spot, in other words, the quality of the arms will also be compared and guaranteed, and the rest is the specific operation problem.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Commander Liu consulted Deng Ma and the others, and after seeing if they had any doubts, he personally asked Li Hans to go down first to prepare gifts, and when the meeting was over, all the forces participating in the meeting would naturally send representatives to inspect the goods, so as not to be in a hurry at that time.

Seeing that Hans of Germany had no temper, he was summoned by Commander Liu to come and leave immediately, and he had to say goodbye obediently, everyone was immediately stunned, and looked at Liu Yun's eyes, there was something wrong.

The so-called comprador is also a major feature of the Republic of China era, which generally refers to the big businessmen who are bought by foreign forces and do things for foreign forces, in fact, they are businessmen in foreign trade. However, with the changes of the times and the weakness of China's national power in modern times, many people have become the spokesmen of imperialism in China, and in the developed coastal cities such as Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, there are many big businessmen of this type.

The history of comprador merchants can be traced back to before the outbreak of the Opium War, such as the foreign trade window opened by the Manchu Dynasty in Guangzhou, such as the famous "Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou", later generations only know that the British and the French, in 1840 and 1856, respectively, launched the second Opium War, resulting in the Manchu government losing power and humiliating the country, ceding land and paying compensation, and signing a series of unequal treaties, opening the darkest scene in modern Chinese history.

However, a few people know that the vast majority of the millions of taels of silver compensated in the "Treaty of Nanjing" were paid to comprador merchants headed by the "Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou" through the hands of the British colonizers, because these merchants were the direct targets of the British East India Company's business or opium dumping, and when the tobacco was sold in Humen, all the opium destroyed basically came from the warehouses of these comprador merchants, so these comprador merchants had a certain reactionary nature.

Liu Yun studied abroad, in fact, he already had the conditions to be a comprador businessman, and later he focused on what kind of industry, such as Sino-German joint research, or joint establishment of arsenals and passenger aircraft companies, etc., all of which had a large number of foreigners involved, and even the West Sichuan Railway, which was in full swing, also had foreign road construction teams represented by Eric.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Liu Yun is the most typical and fashionable comprador businessman. As a result, everyone envied him, was very jealous of him, and hated him, but no one was willing to follow him, because in the eyes of the traditional forces in China, whoever became a comprador merchant would forget his ancestors, a bad man, and a traitor, and would be spurned by the world.

However, the employment relationship between Li Hans and Liu Yun has blinded many people's titanium eyes, and there are still strange things in this world of "Western Sichuan version of foreign compradors", simply put, it is the foreigners who were bought by the Western Sichuan forces and worked for the Western Sichuan forces.

Seeing Dr. Liu's helpless expression, or Deng Xihou and the others' cultivation was deep enough, they quickly came back to their senses, and with a dry cough, they pulled the participants with rich expressions back to reality one by one, "Everyone, everyone, let's still discuss, well, that, the railway issue in Gansu."

On the railway issue, Zhang Xueqin immediately jumped up, threw the chair aside, and was about to question aggressively, when he saw Liu Yun's indifferent eyes, he suddenly withered, rubbed the muscles on his face, and tried his best to make a polite and smiling appearance, "Brother Yicheng, there is a little opinion in the next, in the next, haha."

When he saw Commander Liu smiling, Zhang Xueqin regained his courage, but when he was about to speak, he felt that he had no confidence, and he happened to see Zhang Boyu who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, so he immediately had a new countermeasure, so he kindly suggested to Liu Yun that Brother Boyu come to talk about the problem of the Shaanxi Railway.

Zhang Boyu is Commander Liu's own brother, naturally it is the best, this Guangyuan meeting is not big, it is not small, it is not small, and it can be regarded as a grand event in the entire northwest, so that Brother Boyu can show his face, it will be of great benefit to his future politics and growth, well, then I would like to invite Brother Boyu to speak.

After a round of applause and encouragement, Zhang Boyu stood up in a daze, and seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Boyu is worthy of being a high-achieving returnee in the United States, and soon entered the state of speech, bowing to everyone one by one, and then taking out a map of Hanzhong, explaining the strategic significance of Hanzhong to everyone, pointing out that this place is the traffic throat of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hubei, so the development of this place is directly related to the problem of the Sichuan army leaving Sichuan.

"The Sichuan army out of Sichuan", this is refreshing, so that all the participants have their own thoughts, the change of expression is a bit unfathomable, even Liu Yun himself is a little moved, immediately re-looked at the northwest map, thinking about the possibility of starting from Guangyuan, through Hanzhong, Yunxian (now Shiyan), directly to Xiangyang, Wuhan.

Before Zhang Boyu finished speaking, Zhang Xueqin's face turned completely black, your sister, who told you to talk so nonsense, didn't this young master explain clearly on the road, Guangyuan's railway is to go through Hanzhong to take Xi'an, and he dared to change it to Xiangyang and Wuhan directly. However, due to Liu Yun's affection, Young Master Zhang had no choice but to smile and remain silent, while secretly gritting his teeth, ready to find an opportunity to clean up this daring subordinate.

However, not only Young Master Zhang himself was anxious, but even Deng Xihou and others were also anxious, if this plan was really implemented, what should his Longnan do, wouldn't it really become a place of death, so how could it be done? Just when he was about to go crazy, Ma Hongbin had already interjected, "This brother is your surname, where is he high now?" ”

Brother Boyu's face couldn't help but stagnate, and he didn't ask Liu Yun for help, but introduced himself generously, "Zhang Boyu in Hanzhong, is a master in the United States, and is currently the director of the Transportation Department of Hanzhong Prefecture."

Ma Hongbin didn't embarrass him much, but glanced at Liu Yun slightly, so he asked with a smile, "Okay, it's a top student of returnees, okay, it's my talent in China, well, did you study road traffic in the United States?" ”。

Zhang Boyu's heart suddenly tightened, and his originally tall figure dropped a few points suddenly, and his expression was a little hesitant, and then he explained with a forced smile, "Report to the chief, I studied law before I went down."

Mr. Ma was thoughtful for a moment, and he didn't pay attention to the whispers of the people around him, but criticized very lovingly, "Sichuan people out of Sichuan, not only Sichuan people's own business, but also the southwest and northwest of the country.

Ma Hongbin glanced at Mr. Deng, and asked with a slight smile on his face, "Brother Xihou, you are the land lord of northern Sichuan, and you know the terrain of Hanzhong best, I think, you should talk about it."

Liu Sanye smiled slightly, and pulled Brother Labo Yu without showing a trace, asking him to sit down for the time being, and look at the comments of the big people first, no problem, and then it is not too late to continue to talk. Zhang Boyu seemed to be calm, but the muscles in his body had already stiffened, if it weren't for Liu Yun pulling him by the side, he would probably still stand stupidly, waiting for everyone to bombard him one by one, so he sat down slowly and glanced at Commander Liu gratefully.

After a period of politeness and modesty, Deng Xihou slowly stood up and personally explained the problems in Hanzhong, "Hanzhong, since ancient times, has been the important land of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and in terms of topography, it is a long and narrow basin, about 100 kilometers long, with a slight difference in width, and in general, it is only seven or eight kilometers."

After looking at the expressions of Zhang Xueqin and Liu Yun, and making sure that there was nothing unusual, Mr. Deng further explained, "The climate here is suitable for cold and warm, and there are many minerals, and it is also the birthplace of well-known rivers such as Hanshui, and it was once a famous country of abundance. However, there is only one downside, that is, it is surrounded by mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is also the confluence of the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountain Mountains."

Zhang Boyu's face turned pale, he studied law, and he was not very familiar with road traffic, nor was it fake, but he grew up in Hanzhong since he was a child, so he knew the most about the local topography and landform.

The true origin of the plank road in Hanzhong is no longer examinable, because of the hundreds of years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the real humanities and historical materials of the Bashu aborigines were destroyed beyond recognition by the Qin people.

The method of plank road is also very simple, that is, on the cliff, with a row of holes artificially made, and then insert some specially treated branches or trunks, and then use common vines and wooden planks in Sichuan to connect these wooden sticks one by one to form a cantilevered wooden channel. Therefore, the plank road in Hanzhong is extremely dangerous and fragile, and it can only pass people at ordinary times, and if there is a little heavy object passing by, it is easy to collapse.

Of course, in this way, it also shows the difficulty of the transportation problem between Hanzhong and the outside world, so since the road can't even be built, how can the railway be built, Zhang Boyu, the master of law, takes the scribbling on the map for granted, and the seemingly reasonable nonsense, naturally self-defeating.

But for Liu Yun, it's not a big deal, this guy has ant robots in hand, he can repair the railway as much as he wants, even if the mountains near Hanzhong are good, it's a big deal to make holes when you see the mountains, build bridges when you see the river, and the railway from West Sichuan County to Maozhou City and Fucheng is not what you do.

Fortunately, now Commander Liu is much more mature, and he will no longer do this kind of earth-shattering thing, he only needs to take advantage of the situation, and it is best to achieve the best benefits at the lowest cost, which is the quality and practice he should have. Therefore, Zhang Boyu's plan is not impossible, the key is to do this, what benefits can be obtained, if it is not enough just for Izukawa, because the pay is not proportional to the benefit, or even inversely proportional.

Zhang Xueqin had no choice but to come out by himself, with a dry cough, a modest and cautious look, standing in front of the big map of Ganchuan and Shaanxi, and asking everyone for advice one by one, "Ladies and gentlemen, seniors, I am entrusted by Deputy Commander Zhang and Chairman Yang to give you a little advice, wiring, should be selected between Hanzhong and Longnan."

Minister Zhang said that he drew it on the map, a tortuous and thick black line, from Guangyuan, Hanzhong to Baoji (Chencang), and then from Xi'an to draw a line to intersect with it, and then from Baoji to pull out a line, directly to Tianshui, Dingxi and Lanzhou, the biggest advantage is to ensure the interests of Hanzhong.

But it was troublesome for Deng Xihou, there was no railway through Longnan at all, which led to the future development of Longnan is quite difficult, so Mr. Deng's face turned black all of a sudden, fortunately, he is the host, and he knows what will happen in the end, it depends on the opinion of Liu Yun, the "big boss", and he is not in a hurry for a while.

However, this "tortuous" plan is extremely unfavorable to Ma Hongbin, because in this way, they will have to pass through Shaanxi Province in the future, whether they are from Beiping and Shanghai in the east, or Chengdu and Chongqing in the west, and even whatever they do in the future, they must first look at Xi'an's face.
