Kiyohei Inada rushed to Michiko's side, but Michiko shouted in a weak voice: "Fang Zhengjun, Fang Zhengjun!" Are you okay? ……”
Kiyohei Inada said disappointedly, "Michiko, how are you?" ”
But Michiko is still trying to find Chen Fangzheng's figure. Chen Fangzheng came to Michiko's side, clasped her hand and said, "Michiko, I'm fine!" ”
Michiko clenched Chen Fangzheng's hand and stopped talking, her eyes full of helpless tears.
When Kiyohei Inada saw this scene, his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and his eyes were full of jealousy. He tried to calm down his emotions and said, "Michiko, the general asked me to take you home!" Let's leave tomorrow. ”
Michiko said bitterly, "Go home? Do we still have a home? They want my life every moment! ”
"No, Michiko, the general has already ......" Inada Kiyohei hadn't finished speaking, Chen Fangzheng interrupted him and said, "Okay, didn't you see it?" ”
"It's just a misunderstanding......"
"No! Michiko is not completely out of danger. What's more, Michiko doesn't have to go back to Japan! Chen Fangzheng said coldly.
Hearing Chen Fangzheng's words, Michiko suddenly wiped away her tears vigorously and said, "Inada-kun, take me back to Japan tomorrow." ”
Chen Fangzheng was stunned by Michiko's words, how could it change so quickly, Michiko must have been stimulated.
So, Chen Fangzheng said: "Michiko, stay or stay, I will take care of you." ”
Michiko said resolutely: "I want to go back to Japan, I can't stay here, this is not my home!" ”
Chen Fangzheng looked at the determined Michiko, he knew very well that it must be Michiko who felt shameless to face herself, so she was like this.
At this time, the guards came to report: "General Chen, the prince invites you to a meeting." ”
Chen Fangzheng paused and said, "Michiko is waiting for me to come back." ”
Michiko didn't speak, looked at Chen Fangzheng's departing back and suddenly said, "Fang Zhengjun! …… Take care! After saying that, Michiko couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and fell on the pillow and cried sadly.
Chen Fangzheng turned around, looked at Michiko and said, "Michiko is waiting for me to come back!" After saying that, he immediately walked out of the ward, and Chen Fangzheng had a hunch that maybe Michiko would really never come back.
In the conference hall of the Hainan Palace, Chen Zhong met with the president of the German military giant Krupp Corporation, and the purpose of his visit to Hainan was to develop the Hainan market.
Because, Hainan had previously ordered a large number of arms orders from the Krupp company, and because of their forecasts for the Far East, they believed that in the Far East, the demand for arms was very large.
Therefore, Krupp decided to invest in Hainan to build a factory for direct production and sales.
The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and is favored by the highest authorities of the German state.
It is the family's tradition that they keep time, follow discipline, and carry out orders. The founder of the Krupp family was named Alfred Krupp, and his cannons produced helped Bismarck defeat Austria and France in the middle of the 19th century, which is the famous Krupp cannon.
Krupp cannon with a caliber of 280 mm. The barrel is 11.2 meters long, weighs 44 tons, the elevation angle can reach 30 degrees, the effective firing range is 19,760 meters, the shell can penetrate 65.8 cm of steel plate within 3,000 meters, and can fire 1-2 shells per minute.
The Krupp company, the largest military industrial enterprise in Germany, produces this cannon, which is one of the most powerful weapons in the world today.
Although Chen Zhong believes that Germany has made many strategic mistakes in recent years, Germany's economic development model is still worth learning from Hainan, because the economic situation of Hainan Island is somewhat similar to that of Germany.
Germany is a backward industrialized country and a successful catch-up country. Since the early days of industrialization, "catching up with and surpassing" has become an important task of Germany's economic growth. Since the 50s of the 19th century, Germany's economy has taken off rapidly, and in recent years, it has surpassed France, Britain and other old industrialized countries and achieved the goal of catching up.
At the beginning of Germany's industrialization, France, Britain and other countries that industrialized earlier had a fairly mature technological level, and the accumulated industrial capital began to look for overseas markets.
This provides the technical and financial basis for large-scale investment in construction and industrial development in Germany. After the establishment of capitalist production relations, Germany made full use of this latecomer advantage and vigorously introduced advanced technology and equipment from Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, so that its industry was built on the basis of large-scale input and output from the very beginning, and directly obtained economies of scale.
In 1870, for the first time, Germany's total industrial production capacity and GDP surpassed that of France. In these years, the possibility that Germany will overtake Britain will soon become a reality, and it will soon become the second largest industrial power in the capitalist world after the United States.
The industrialization path of Britain, France, the United States and other countries started with the textile industry, which is closely related to people's daily life, and then experienced the development of light industry, and then spread to heavy industry and modern manufacturing and other sectors.
However, Germany was different, and the development of German industry quickly shifted from the textile industry to heavy industry centered on railway construction.
Between 1870 and 1913, German coal mining increased from 34 million tons to 277 million tons, steel production from 170,000 tons to 18.32 million tons, and iron production from 1.39 million tons to 19.31 million tons. In addition to the raw material industry, from the 90s of the 19th century, the German machine building industry also began to develop rapidly.
From 1850 to the present, the development of heavy industry in Germany has been faster than that of light industry, and in recent years, Germany has established a perfect industrial system, and heavy industry occupies a dominant position.
As a latecomer industrialized country, Germany has vigorously carried out technological innovation on the basis of introducing advanced technology and equipment from Britain, France, the United States and other countries, and has become the birthplace of the second industry.
In addition to the traditional industrial sector of steel, which has continued the growth momentum of the first industry, Germany has paid special attention to the development of new industrial sectors such as electrical and chemical industries, and has further established its dominant position in the world.
The rise of new industries has greatly increased the economic growth rate and productivity level of Germany. From 1870 to 1913, the average annual growth rate of GDP, per capita GDP and per capita hourly GDP (per capita labor productivity growth rate) in Germany were higher than those of Britain and France in the same period.
Germany did not go through a long period of capital accumulation in Britain, France and other countries, and the "start-up capital" of industrialization was obtained through the accumulation of wealth at home and plundering wealth abroad.
The main ways are:
The first was to demand huge ransoms from the emancipated serfs in the reform of serfdom on the "Prussian road of agricultural development";
Second, in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, as the victorious power, it received 5 billion francs in war reparations and obtained most of the mineral resources of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.
These two places later became important bases for the development of heavy industry in Germany, attracting a large number of capital from Britain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium.
The third is to attract social capital through the establishment of investment banks and joint-stock companies.
Therefore, Germany's economic development model has great reference significance for Hainan.
Because, the development of light industry in Hainan also started relatively late, and it has not gone through the period of industrial capitalist development, and the heavy industry that has emerged in recent years has imported a large number of machinery and technology from Europe, which is very similar to Germany.
Therefore, Hainan's economy should learn from Germany to a great extent, and there are many areas that need to be cooperated, especially in the development of the military industry.
Chen Zhong's meeting with the president of Krupp AG this time is to send a message to Germany that he hopes to cooperate with him in more fields.
