Chapter 256: Revolution Attracts, Leading Consciousness

"You are a foreigner, and you don't know the original situation in Tianjin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The shopkeeper took the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Shen Tan, and said: "There are many local sticks in Tianjin, and the first is in the provinces, such scoundrels in the market, living together and eating, called the pot guy, calling themselves gangsters, also known as mixed stars." They are all fearless of death, control the market, harass the merchants, form groups of parties, fight and fight. There is a good saying: It is easy to make a bandit flat, but it is difficult for Tianjin gangsters. ”

"So what's going on now?" Shen Ta listened very interestingly, so he asked anxiously.

"Let the government be destroyed!" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's called a fast, a ruthless, overnight, what one-eyed dragon, grass flying, small knife, big black tower, strong gazi...... Those are all well-known bastards, they were caught and killed, and there were not a few escapes. Their subordinates also wanted to toss and turn, and smashed the patrol police station with sticks, knives and forks. Hehe, the government has already sent people to wait for them, who are they, all the soldiers who came down from the battlefield and changed into patrol clothes, beating them like fun. As soon as the machine guns rang off, the thugs scattered in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the patrol police carried out a big sweep, pulled out all the pot guys, caught the gangsters, and fled, and it was no longer a climate. ”

"It's true that groups can't compete with the power of the state." Shen Tan nodded and said, "As long as the government makes a decision and the measures are effective, of course the hooligan gang is not an opponent." ”

"It's also this gang of gangsters who don't know what's going on, the Shanghai Qinghong Gang has been caught by the tail and behaved, they still don't stop, I heard that they have ties with some Manchu relatives and nobles, which annoyed the government." The shopkeeper guessed.

Shen Ta nodded in agreement, but he had his own judgment in his heart. When China's new government was first established, it dared to wage war against violent gangs in the underworld, and defeated two evil forces with a long history and deep-rooted roots in succession. It shows that the new government is very confident in controlling the domestic situation, and it also shows that the new government has the support of the military and police.

"It's good now. Ordinary people and businesses are no longer afraid of being harassed and bullied by those gangsters. The shopkeeper continued: "Moreover, the government has reduced a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, opened resettlement houses, and managed beggars and vagrants, so that so many people have not frozen to death this winter." ”

Shen Ta sighed softly, talked casually with the shopkeeper, and returned to his room.

"The beauty on the bridge in Tianjin. Buddha Zhao Lou in the world commentary. The shopkeeper interviewed me and told me that I was bitter and asked why he was amorous. Shen wrote a poem in his diary, and then stared out the window blankly.

Shen Guizhi, known as Shen Ta, Shen Yuxu, etc. He was born in Chungcheongbuk-do Province in the central region of South Korea to a family of scholars, and studied Sinology and poetry at his home school since he was a child. In 1896, he entered a government Chinese school in Seoul. In 1900, he was admitted to the Army Military Attache School, and after graduation, he became active in the new army. He had a strong patriotic mind and was very keen on politics.

1905. Japan forced Korea to sign the Treaty of Otomi, Korea became a protectorate of Japanese imperialism, and the army was forcibly disbanded. Shin Gyu-sik threw himself into the national salvation movement and saved the country from danger. He planned to launch anti-Japanese volunteers, but failed, so he committed suicide by poisoning in righteous anger to show his determination to resist Japan. As a result, he lost sight in his right eye and has been wearing glasses ever since. This is also the origin of his name "contemplation".

This number also contains the meaning that he should squint in the face of the loss of freedom and inhuman treatment of the nation. After that, he changed his anti-Japanese strategy. He actively founded schools, industries, and magazines, and participated in patriotic enlightenment groups such as the "Shinmin Association" and the "Korea Association".

Year 1910. After learning of the success of the Chinese Revolution, Shin Gyu-sik decided to go into exile in China to explore a new way to save the motherland and achieve national independence. At that time, Japanese imperialism was brutally suppressing the Korean independence movement. The motive of learning from the Chinese revolution is quietly becoming a trend of the times in which the hot-blooded young people of South Korea go into exile in China.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces and represent the development requirements of advanced productive forces. It is necessary to attach importance to scientific and technological innovation, to the cultivation of scientific and technological personnel, and to the development of scientific and technological undertakings. Every step forward in modern science and technology has brought about profound changes in the productive forces of society. In short, scientific and technological innovation is an important foundation and symbol for the emancipation and development of social productive forces. It may even determine the development process of a country or a nation.

Although many people do not understand these theories very well, and are even very dissatisfied with the huge amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Finance to the Academy of Sciences, Chen Wenqiang relied on the support of the president and the support of the Baath Party to get the National Assembly to pass the budget.

Yes, Chen Wenqiang is not a generalist, he can achieve achievements in medicine, but he cannot achieve in all fields. But he has an advantage that others can't match, that is, he understands the trend and process of the world's scientific and technological development, and can often dig up the gold that has just shone a faint light in advance when others have not paid attention to it.

Dutchman Anthony? Falk looked curiously at the secretary of state of the emerging Eastern country in front of him, and Jossen's name was thunderous, far beyond the comparison of his nobody. Although he founded Fokker Corporation, the largest aircraft manufacturing company in Europe, he is now just a young engineer who has been given a cold shoulder.

In 1909, when Fokker was only twenty years old, the first aircraft he built called the "Spider" made its first flight, becoming the fastest and most robust monoplane of its time. He later recalled: "When I flew the plane hundreds of feet above the ground, I was so happy that my heart jumped out of my heart. Fokker presented his plane to his native Netherlands, but was given a cold reception, and then he turned to France, England, and Russia, but as in Holland, the officers of the army looked down on such a young man and did not believe that he could do anything amazing.

However, to his great surprise, after the newspaper published the news of the successful test flight, a warm invitation was soon extended to Fokker from the far east. He was invited to come to China to continue to develop his aircraft career, and the Chinese Government would provide him with as much convenience and assistance as possible.

"Mr. Falk, the name of your plane is 'Spider,' which is a very strange name." Chen Wenqiang asked very kindly with a kind smile.

Falk explained unequivocally: "Because there are so many dense lines between the wings, and the pilot sits on them like a 'spider' resting in the middle of the web, I named it the spider." ”

"You are a talented young man, and the emerging China will provide you with the best research environment and living conditions. If you are satisfied with the conditions I have just proposed, let this cooperation blossom into a brilliant flower of success! Chen Wenqiang said very sincerely.

"This—" Fakker hesitated a little, and said slowly, "Can I think about it?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Wenqiang said generously: "China is a beautiful place, I will send someone to accompany you on a tour, I believe you will like it." ”

"I'm also curious about this mysterious eastern country." Falk said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Secretary of State, for the reception and courtesy you have given me, which has made a very good impression on me." ”

……………

Sent away Faulk. Chen Wenqiang returned to his office, picked up the research project report of the Ordnance Research Institute, and examined it carefully.

Chen Wenqiang should not only make reasonable suggestions to the president on the examination and approval of funds, but also put forward some constructive or enlightening suggestions on the projects under study. However, the development of science and technology is not good for some time, and it is subject to the production process and manufacturing level at that time. Therefore, the simple, quick success, became his first choice.

A sniper rifle is a high-precision rifle equipped with an optical sight to destroy an important single target of the enemy at a long distance. From a structural point of view. Sniper rifles are not new, they are just some specially made firearms. Of course, it is also possible to select from a large number of ordinary rifles, which are cheaper to do.

As for the Medellín light machine gun, which has been successfully copied, due to its simple structure and reliable action, the Ordnance Research Institute has also included it in the plan. But some modifications were needed, and Chen Wenqiang asked it to be able to fire standard rifle rounds. The weight should be light, and the air-cooled heat dissipation of the barrel should be good. And can be quickly replaced.

The Maxim heavy machine gun should continue to be copied, but it should be replaced with a Russian version with a steel shield and wheels, which should be a relatively easy task.

The first automatic rifle was successfully manufactured in 1883 by Maxim after modifying and testing the "Winchester rifle". It uses the power of part of the gunpowder gas to make the gun complete a series of actions such as unlocking, unpacking, feeding and re-locking, so as to realize the automatic continuous shooting of the rifle. But due to weight reasons, as well as the use of standard rifle ammunition at that time. The power was excessive, and the recoil made it difficult to control accuracy when firing continuously, without further development.

Chen Wenqiang put pen to paper and wrote his own opinion in the column of automatic rifles: Automatic firearms that fire small-caliber bullets can be developed, so that soldiers can carry more ammunition, and this kind of rifle requires that it can be fired in a single shot or in bursts. Also, please note. In order to increase the lethality, the length-to-diameter ratio of the projectile should be calculated and tested, so that it is easy to lose stability and roll after entering the human body.

Mortars were born during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, and this kind of artillery produced on the battlefield was called "lightning guns" at the time. Chen Wenqiang urged the Ordnance Research Institute to continue to develop and improve its structure and make it more perfect, and it should have the advantages of high rate of fire, great power, light weight, simple structure, and easy operation.

The introduction of new technology of thermodynamic torpedoes from the United States, imitation and further improvement, can be divided into two types: shallow water torpedoes and deep-water torpedoes, strive to achieve localization within three years, and study the feasibility of electric torpedoes.

Mines are a weapon of a poor country, and a single mine that costs a small amount is enough to kill a modern warship costing tens of millions of dollars. The Ordnance Research Institute should step up research and development, and strive to localize production and diversify its uses.

The amount of money invested in the Academy of Sciences is huge, and the support for the Ordnance Research Institute is even more sparing, so that President Song Jiaoren is puzzled. However, Chen Wenqiang's attitude is also very clear, it is related to national defense construction and national security, and judging from the current situation in China, the Ministry of Finance should make every effort to guarantee military spending and military scientific research. Besides, the money in other aspects may be less, but it is enough, and there must always be a priority for development!

Chen Wenqiang is right, relying on the Bank of China's money printing machine and gold absorber, with the continuous collection of hard currency from the private sector, the ability to issue banknotes is increasing day by day. In addition to the issuance of treasury bonds and Chen Wenqiang's every possible slash, the budgets submitted by various departments have basically been met to a minimum. Of course, some of these projects were simply clicked off by Chen Wenqiang, or approved for postponement.

With money, coupled with a series of government dispersal, reorganized, reequipped, and transferred, the ability to control the armed forces in various places has become stronger and stronger. Although there are still small riots in various places, the overall situation in the whole country has stabilized.

The auction of the royal treasures was a great success, and not only the wealthy Chinese businessmen were spending a lot of money to buy a few items as heirlooms, but also some foreigners were interested. Up to now, although it has not yet been completed, the funds that have been accumulated are enough for the early reserves of ICBC. The Bank of China has invested another 10 million yuan in the preparation for the establishment of the Agricultural Bank of China, and is preparing to separate the original agriculture-related business and transfer it to the Agricultural Bank of China, so as to become a relatively dedicated central bank.

This year's budget expires in October next year, so will next year's funds be able to support another year? Chen Wenqiang put down the project report of the Ordnance Research Institute and picked up the tax collection of various places. Except for Guangdong and Shanghai, there are deficits everywhere. But Chen Wenqiang did not see this, and this situation was expected for a long time, and he paid attention to the growth of industrial and commercial tax revenues in various places.

It is normal that the south is better than the north, and the coast is better than the interior. To Chen Wenqiang's gratification, with the return of overseas Chinese funds, the development of industry and commerce has shown a gratifying momentum. This is inseparable from the increasing stability of the domestic political situation, a series of preferential policies formulated by the government, and the efforts of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee. It is estimated that Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangsu are likely to achieve a surplus next year, and at least they will be able to achieve a balance between revenue and expenditure.

Very well, the burden on the state treasury is getting smaller and smaller, and it is possible to concentrate funds on some surprise construction, hoping to achieve this goal within two years.

Under the control and support of the government, the spontaneous and disorderly nature of the original people is now being incorporated into the government's planned and step-by-step resettlement strategy. This will not only open up large tracts of wasteland, increase food production, but also resettle a large number of disaster victims, and reduce the burden on the state's finances day by day.

One to two years to stabilize the foundation, three to five years before great development, the Republic of China has finally sought an environment of stable development from the cracks. Although there are still many uncertainties, they finally temporarily got rid of the dilemma of the Manchu rule, which had no power to resist. (To be continued.) )
