At dusk, Ge Yunfei's motorcade passed by Haicheng. The subordinate said: "Chief, Haicheng has been seriously damaged by artillery fire and has become a ruin. Ge Yunfei ordered to stop, the convoy stopped, and the guard didn't know what Ge Yunfei was parking, so they had to set up a cordon. The snowflakes were still flying, and Ge Yunfei looked at the ruins and was silent. "Chief, according to statistics, there is almost no complete room in Haicheng, but fortunately, the common people ran away during the war." "I want to tell Xu Shichang to concentrate manpower, material and financial resources to build a new city here and give an explanation to the people."

In a market town on the north side of Haicheng, Ge Yunfei and others camped. After a night without words, the convoy arrived in Anshan early the next morning. Wen Biao, commander of the 2nd Corps, led the generals to greet him in front of the command department. "Commander-in-chief, the Japanese army has retreated to the Korean Peninsula, and the lower officer thinks that the Japanese army will continue to attack while the Japanese army is not firmly established?" "Do you know the topography of northern Korea?" "It's a mountainous area!"

"The mountainous areas in northern Korea are easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't underestimate the combat capability of the Japanese army, the Japanese army can retreat on the Liaodong Peninsula, but the Japanese army will fight for every inch of land on the Korean Peninsula." "Commander-in-chief, why don't you attack the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula?"

"The conditions are not ripe at the moment, and your 2nd Corps is temporarily stationed in Anshan. I'm going to launch an attack on North Korea next year, and I'll give you sharp offensive weapons at that time. "What offensive weapon?" Wen Biao was surprised. "Keep it secret for now, and you'll know when the time comes!" Seeing that Ge Yunfei was secretive, Wen Biao didn't ask anymore. After the celebration meeting, Wen Biao set up a banquet for Ge Yunfei to wash the dust. During the banquet, Ge Yunfei said: "At the beginning of the year, Sheng Xuanhuai was seriously ill, and before he returned to the south, he entrusted me to continue to assist his son Sheng Pingchen. Not long ago, Sheng Pingchen sent me a report saying that my father was seriously ill and left to return to the south. ”

"Are you saying Sheng Xuanhuai's time limit has arrived?" "Yes, he is terminally ill, and since I promised him to take care of the Anshan Iron and Steel Works, I must do it myself. In the past two years, Sheng Xuanhuai has worked hard to operate Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and its development has been extremely slow. The Japanese dreamed of a steel plant, but they never succeeded. The Japanese army sent agents to sabotage it several times, and if it weren't for the secret protection of the year, it would not have been built at all. Steel is the blood of industry, and the industrial construction of a country without steel is equivalent to no blood. Dahua Group is ready to continue to provide funds to help Anshan Iron and Steel Plant develop by leaps and bounds. ”

Ge Yunfei continued: "Tomorrow morning, you accompany me to the steel plant, and I will plan carefully." Early the next morning, Wen Biao accompanied Ge Yunfei to the steel mill. The steel plant is located in Dagushan Town, on the east side of Anshan City, about 15 kilometers away from the city. In less than half an hour, Ge Yunfei and Yu Wenbiao drove to Dagushan Town. Entering the huge steel plant building, a blast furnace with an annual output of 200,000 tons has risen from the ground, and the smoke around the blast furnace indicates that the blast furnace is in production. Not far from the blast furnace, another blast furnace is being built.

The director of the steel plant had already received a call and was sincerely afraid to greet him at the door. After touring the blast furnace and workshop, I finally walked into a two-story office. In the office, foreign engineers and factory officials from the steel plant are seated. Seeing Ge Yunfei walk in, all the staff hurriedly stood up to express their respect. Ge Yunfei waved his hand and said: "Don't be restrained, I was entrusted by Mr. Sheng to plan the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant from the new. As you all know, steel is the lifeblood of industry. With the vigorous development of the industry of the Republic of China, the demand for steel is increasing. ”

Mr. Sheng's original plan was to start two 200,000-ton blast furnaces first, and now one blast furnace has been put into operation, and the other blast furnace is under construction, which is planned to be put into operation by the end of this year. Mr. Sheng's long-term plan is to build a new 300,000-ton blast furnace next year, and so on, using four years to launch four 300,000-ton blast furnaces, and by 1920, the production capacity of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant will reach 1.6 million tons. At present, the demand for steel continues to heat up, and Mr. Sheng's plan will be far later than the demand of the steel market in the future. ”

"According to my research, the domestic demand for steel will be about 3 million tons in 20 years, so our plans have to change. Next year, we will directly go to the 600,000-ton blast furnace, and four years later, the production capacity of two 200,000-ton blast furnaces and four 600,000-ton blast furnaces will be formed, and the steelmaking capacity of Ganganshan Iron and Steel Plant will reach 2.8 million tons to meet the needs of domestic steel. In my spare time, I have written a steel development plan for your reference ······. "Ge Yunfei stayed five days late at the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and it was already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve when he returned to Mukden.

This year's Chinese New Year in Mukden City was particularly lively, driving away the Japanese bandits, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high. The Northeast has become a paradise, and the immigrants and merchants who have migrated from Kannai have brought vitality to this hot land, and the atmosphere and scene in Mukden City are still prominent. There was still light in the sky, and firecrackers began to sound in the city, and the people had not been so happy for many years. The strength of the country can only be truly reflected in the people. This year, people talked about the most about driving out the Japanese invaders, and it was not a problem to raise their eyebrows.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Zuolin rushed back to Mukden from Dandong and invited Ge Yunfei and Wen Biao to his home for the New Year. Zhang Zuolin has moved from his hometown to Fengtian City, and due to Ge Yunfei's butterfly effect, the development of the Saltu oil field, Zhang Zuolin has become the richest man in Fengtian City, so he has built the magnificent Zhang family compound in Fengtian City. In front of the Zhangjia compound, Ge Yunfei got out of the car and looked at the four bronzing characters in the Zhangjia compound, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. "Brother Yunfei, if it weren't for your guidance and turning stones into gold, my old Zhang would not be where I am today!"

"Brother, we have an oil field and a modern oil industry, and your credit cannot be erased." "Brother, if it weren't for you and me jointly developing the oil field, how could I have this ability. Speaking of oilfields, the smooth development of the oilfield is thanks to the operation of Dahua Group, I am sitting at home waiting for the money! "When I entered the gate, I was greeted by a line of ladies and children. Ge Yunfei knew in his heart that Zhang Zuolin's main room, Mrs. Zhao, had passed away, and now he was in charge of the family with Mrs. Lu. Ge Yunfei married Jin Lan to Zhang Zuolin and Zeng Yi, so they naturally belong to the family. Therefore, the custom of children bowing down to their uncles is unavoidable.

Ge Yunfei had already prepared and gave red envelopes to the children. "Uncle, I heard from the teacher at school that you are the Chinese Bismarck - the god of war!" Zhang Zuolin's eldest son, Xueliang, seemed to be bold, with an expression on his face that was disproportionate to his age at 16. "What do children know, my brother made you laugh.

Ge Yunfei looked at Zhang Xueliang and sighed again in his heart, Zhang Zuolin's development trajectory has changed fundamentally, it is impossible to be the king of the Northeast in the future, what will happen to his son Zhang Xueliang? "You know Bismarck?" "Of course you know, Germany's iron-blooded prime minister!" "Brother, don't you know, this kid has always wanted to join the army. I want him to study hard and study abroad in the future. "Uncle, I want to be a soldier to defend my family and country, please accept me." "Good! Be ambitious! You go to Jinan Military Academy, and I will admit you exceptionally. "Thank you uncle for your support, my nephew is so polite."

Without waiting for Zhang Zuolin to object, Zhang Xueliang ran out. "This kid is so unreasonable!" "Brother, Ling Lang has the temperament of a general, so don't go against his wishes!" Zhang Zuolin was stunned when he heard this: "My brother's vision has always been sharp, so please ask my brother to bother more!" "Don't worry, I will carefully cultivate Ling Lang, I believe that Ling Lang will definitely get ahead." Ge Yunfei changed the topic and continued: "Brother, if you want to become a qualified commander, you can't be forward-looking. This is the material I wrote about future wars and the military sphere, you have to read it carefully, otherwise you will be eliminated by the times! ”

Ge Yunfei handed a booklet to Zhang Zuolin with a solemn expression. "Don't worry, brother, I'll read it carefully!" Zhang Zuolin heard the sound outside the strings.

After the lively night of Chinese New Year's Eve, after midnight Ge Yunfei returned to the headquarters with Wen Biao. The two of them were not sleepy, and they seemed to be unsatisfied. "Chief, how about you and I have a drink again?" "That's exactly what I wanted!" Soon, Wen Biao's subordinates brought wine and food, and the two began to push the cup and change the lamp again. During the banquet, Ge Yunfei said: "The Jiamusi Independent Division has been secretly expanded to 30,000 people, which is done without the Russians. The Russians did not agree with me stationing troops in Heilongjiang, and this force was particularly important. ”

Wen Biao knew that Ge Yunfei had something to say and listened quietly, "This summer, you recruited a division and secretly deployed it in Dunhua, Jilin, as for what you are doing, I can't tell you for the time being." "My subordinates understand!" "Next month, the Korean Restoration Army will be formally formed, and this Korean Restoration Army will be under your command, and your troops will form a northern attack group with the Korean Restoration Army." "How many people are there in the Korean Restoration Army?" "The two armies are about 60,000 people, and when they enter the Korean Peninsula in the future, how the North Koreans expand their troops, that is their business, and we will not interfere!"

"Commander-in-chief, do you mean that our department is responsible for training the Korean Restoration Army?" "Yes, let me tell you a piece of news, I am ready to fight in North Korea in October next year, and you have 8 months." "My subordinates understand." "The war in Korea is based on political factors, and if Japan now promises to return the island of Taiwan and promise the independence of the Ryukyu Islands, we will cancel the use of troops on the Korean Peninsula, but this is impossible. We can only use the means of war to bring Japan to its knees, which is our strategic goal. "Please rest assured! I'll make the most of the Korean Restoration Army! ”

The next day, Air Force Commander Ding Bufan came to pay New Year's greetings, Xu Shichang led all the officials to pay New Year's greetings, and representatives from all walks of life in Fengtian City also came to pay New Year's greetings, and the atmosphere on the first day of the Lunar New Year was very warm. Ge Yunfei hosted a banquet at the headquarters to entertain everyone, and delivered an enthusiastic speech during the banquet.

In the third year of junior high school, Ge Yunfei said goodbye to the crowd of people who saw him off, boarded a modified bomber, and flew straight to Qingdao.
