Chapter 256: Lenin's Movements, the Prelude to the Tsarist Revolution
According to the results of the discussion at the court meeting, the empire will make statistics on the construction capacity of the whole country, and at the same time set up a special dispatch team to make full use of human resources.
"Local governments should apply to the central government for loans first, and the central government will send personnel to verify the feasible surname." Yan Xishan proposed a specific local restraint system in the court meeting, in short, it is better not to build than to build indiscriminately.
Anyway, now the construction team in the country is limited, not that there is no work to do.
In the following days, various departments began to jointly coordinate the construction of the project, and the Ministry of Construction first identified the national key projects, the first one is the railway, and the second is the important highway and bridge.
In terms of railways, the Ministry of Construction's plan is to build a main line in every province first, and then build a branch line. The specific province to which province to build the trunk line first mainly depends on the issue of exploiting resources.
After the completion of the railway, the first thing that has to be done is to recoup the investment, then there must be enough freight traffic, which can be achieved by mining minerals, etc.
Where the resources are valuable and where they are not, this is the first thing to score.
At the same time, East China Group is also an important component of the overall construction plan of various departments, East China Group is mainly involved in basic industries, such as electricity, building materials manufacturing, which are required for local construction, at least a reinforced concrete or something. If you are engaged in construction in Shaanxi, but you have to transport cement from Fujian, it is not cost-effective.
All provinces must have a construction foundation, which has to be dealt with by the East China Group.
The general construction program is to repair the provincial level first, then the municipal level, followed by the county level, the provincial railway, highway first, and then the following railway branch line, highway, the railway is responsible for the Ministry of Construction, and the highway is responsible for the provincial level to apply for construction. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow from a bank, but you must have certain construction conditions to pass.
At this time, the infrastructure construction of many provinces in China is still poor and white, China is a country that directly cut into the second industrial revolution, although there are certain advantages, but there are also many disadvantages, the main disadvantage is that there is no basic achievements of the first industrial revolution, and like other countries that have completed the first industrial revolution, their railways are everywhere, especially in countries like Germany and the United States, the railways are relatively developed.
China's railways, which have taken nearly seven years of hard work, have only completed 30,000 kilometers, but such a speed can already be said to be a miracle.
At this time, the scale of construction in China has expanded a lot, and the speed of construction in the future will be accelerated a lot, especially after the unification of the empire, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
If we want to improve the efficiency of construction, we must first set a goal.
If you want to have a goal, you have to have a plan, and a plan can be efficient.
At Xia Jun's request, the Ministry of Construction quickly came up with a plan for the next three years, which involved the construction of railways, highways, power stations, reservoirs, affordable housing and other infrastructure.
Xia Jun read the report and scolded his mother there, the three-year plan given by the Ministry of Construction is too unreliable, "Do you plan to build 30,000 kilometers of railways in the next three years?" You think this is the Great Leap Forward! There are also highways, which are planned to be built 50,000 kilometers in the next three years, do you plan to engage in tofu slag projects? ”
Xu Wenbo was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say anything, this three-year plan is indeed exaggerated, originally I just wanted to plan more, and then I would say that it would be impossible to complete it, anyway, it would be good to increase the construction speed.
With this in mind, Xu Wenbo and officials from the Ministry of Construction also came up with this reliable construction plan.
"I'm going to get a reliable one right away." Xia Jun threw the plan back, and Xu Wenbo ran back with the plan and worked overtime overnight, discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Construction to come up with a reliable plan.
Then, the Ministry of Water Resources also came up with a three-year water conservancy construction plan.
This time, the Ministry of Water Resources' plan is much more reliable, and their planning plan is obviously more realistic and does not take the route of the Great Leap Forward.
This makes Xia Jun happy, and the plan of the Ministry of Water Resources is to first control the rivers in various places in the next three years with the aim of eliminating floods, and at the same time build water conservancy projects in areas that are likely to suffer from drought to increase drought resistance.
The problem of desertification control in the Yellow River is divided into three steps, the first step is to strengthen the dikes, remove the silt, and build sand dams in the Loess Plateau to reduce the flow of sediment into the river.
The initial goal is to block and dredging, and if such measures are implemented, the disasters in the Yellow River area can be greatly improved.
At the same time, the initial period is also a period of preliminary verification of the medium-term plan, and in the medium term, it is to increase investment and begin to fundamentally deal with the Yellow River problem. In the later stage, it was completely cured, but the control of the Yellow River is a long-term process, and I don't know when it will be in the later stage.
For the future economic development path, Xia Jun also thought clearly.
The first is to build infrastructure to promote economic development through infrastructure construction, the second is to increase domestic demand and drive the economy with domestic demand, and the third is to develop foreign export trade.
At the same time, to develop the economy, it is necessary to continue to increase agricultural input, use agriculture to impact the economies of other countries, and make greater contributions to China's economic development.
In terms of industry, it will transform into high-end technology-based industries, such as automobile manufacturing, electrical appliance manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aircraft manufacturing, which can develop in the direction of enhancing the war potential.
Light industry naturally cannot be left behind, and light industry also needs to be developed in a key way, and it is also a key area used to impact the economies of other countries.
At this time, China's light industry has been basically perfected, and many light industry fields have gained international technological leadership, but there are also many fields that have not obtained technological leadership, but the technology is also in a state of parity with other advanced countries.
As for the encirclement of China by international capital, it is inevitable, but international capital does not completely control the world at this time, at least although the Yankees have become the world's first in terms of economy, their war capability and international status have not yet reached the point of global hegemony.
China can still catch up with the United States.
Therefore, in the future, China's foreign trade needs to find another way to support those countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Latin America to develop their economies, and the model is that they export resources to China and buy back Chinese goods.
The trade with the United States is very likely to encounter trade barriers, international capital is based in the United States, but the United States is definitely not a country with internationalized capital, when international capital can expand outward, the United States shouts capital freedom, but when international capital can not bear it, the United States political axe provides barrier protection for international capital.
However, international capital is hiding in the United States and cannot enter China.
It is equivalent to China and the United States building their own trade barriers, and the business competition in other countries will become more intense. International capital can join forces with some countries to contain China, but it is absolutely impossible to completely contain it, and China can open up new international markets in other ways.
And China's technology in agriculture is a killer feature.
For many backward countries, they are most affected by China's agriculture, so as long as China can provide them with agricultural technology, these countries will be able to reach a favorable trade environment with China.
For domestic construction, we also need to proceed from two aspects, the first is the economy, which is related to the people's livelihood and must be vigorously grasped.
The second is the issue of war, and many constructions must be done around the purpose of enhancing the war potential. At present, China has not yet reached the point where there is no threat of war at all, so it is impossible to make construction completely revolve around people, and sometimes construction revolves around people, and people also revolve around construction.
…… By the end of 1916, the First World War had entered a period of silence for both sides, and the large-scale offensive and defensive on the Western Front did not happen again, mainly on some other fronts, but both sides were accumulating strength and preparing for the next offensive.
After the main German forces were transferred to the Western Front, Tsarist Russia's words were suddenly much better, and the front finally won the victory, but the good days were almost over.
According to the activities of the Military Intelligence Agency in Tsarist Russia, it was reported that Lenin had been sent back to Tsarist Russia by the Germans.
This news is very important to China, at this time Tsarist Russia has entered the early stage of the imminent outbreak of revolution, Xia Jun is naturally highly concerned about the situation in Tsarist Russia.
The Central Committee of the Reich discussed possible problems in Tsarist Russia, and Xia Jun said at the meeting: "The outbreak of revolution in Tsarist Russia is inevitable, Tsarist Russia is a serfdom country, and it does not pay attention to the interests of peasants and workers, and they have completed the industrialization process to a certain extent with the help of France, and it is very likely that Tsarist Russia will be a [***] society in which workers are in power in the future." ”
Xia Jun actually had a plan in his heart, but he just ventilated to the top and formulated an attitude towards the Soviet Union in the future.
"If it is really that [***] society, then can we use the new Tsarist Russia against international capital?" Zhao Ming, a bachelor of the Zongheng family, put forward his views at the meeting.
Xia Jun smiled when he heard this, this point of view was nonsense enough, and said: "We are first and foremost capitalism, a combination of militarism and national capitalism. Besides, the stronghold of international capitalism is in the United States, and in the future, Tsarist Russia will first fall into a state of being surrounded on all sides, and if they want to deal with it first, they will deal with us first, and when the time comes, not to mention that we use them to deal with international capital, they will let international capital use it against us. ”
"Uh...... The minister did not think it through. Zhao Ming said embarrassedly.
"Our future conflict with Tsarist Russia is obviously inevitable, but if a revolution breaks out in Tsarist Russia, the outcome is not yet unclear. It is nothing more than three situations, one is that the revolution is suppressed, and the other is that the revolution is victorious, but either way, Tsarist Russia will be plunged into civil war. It is a good time for us to recover the territory of the Tsarist Far East and occupy China, and maybe we can occupy more territory from them. Chen Xuanyu said excitedly.
"The emphasis is on balancing the dot in order to plunge Tsarist Russia into a longer period of infighting." Yan Xishan said, "In this way, we can obtain greater benefits without much effort." ”
