But Feng Wei's persuasion made Zhuang Jihua very disapproving: "During the Northern Expedition, how many times did the collective join the Kuomintang happen, do those ordinary soldiers know what Sanming boiled righteousness is?" Even if those generals understand the righteousness of the three mings, this does not prevent them from engaging in the action of splitting the party and the country; on the contrary, recruiting party members from among the workers; although these people do not know much about the righteousness of the three boilings, we can train and educate them, and these comrades who have done practical work at the grassroots level have rich work experience and prestige among the people, which will help to enhance the prestige of the party and enhance the combat effectiveness of party members. ”

Teng Jie said that the main reason for the chaos in the country is party members, the Northern Expedition has been less than ten years, why the party is so fast [***], I think there is only one reason, there is a problem with the mechanism, this mechanism is reflected in the development of party members, the promotion and appointment of cadres. In fact, even if party members are recruited among intellectuals, how much do they know about Sanming and cooking? Their membership in the party is largely a speculative surname. ”

Zhuang Jihua's comments once again made Feng Yi indistinguishable, there are many factions in the Kuomintang, although Chen Lifu is in charge of party affairs, but Yang Yongtai is also meddling, so the promotion and use of cadres first depends on whether they are their own people, and the cadres quickly become bureaucratic after taking office.

"I'm not saying it's wrong for you to do this, I mean that you're doing it to cause a lot of people to oppose it, and you're offending their interests by doing so." Feng Yi obviously felt the danger, Zhuang Jihua's actions would definitely not stop at developing a few party members, developing workers' party members would definitely be his first step, and he couldn't guess what he would do later.

The relationship between Feng Yi and Zhuang Jihua is very delicate, after the Zhongshan ship incident, Zhuang Jihua began to suspect Feng Yi, and secretly asked Chen Lifu to spy on him, and Feng Yi later knew about it. However, Zhuang Jihua's approach was very strange, he did not let Chen Lifu tell him the result, but asked him to tell Chiang Kai-shek directly, and he never asked afterwards, so Chen Lifu and Feng Yi's judgment was that Zhuang Jihua was out of concern for Chiang Kai-shek. Feng Yi still remembered that when Chen Lifu told him, he smiled and said, Zhuang Wenge, worried that you would be unfavorable to the chairman. Feng Yi is more free and easy in this regard, he believes that the two sides have different positions with each other at the beginning, but now that they have come together, the past is over. On the contrary, he admired Zhuang Jihua very much, not only for what Zhuang Jihua did in Guangzhou, but also for what he had done in Yucheng for more than a year, so when Chiang Kai-shek asked him if he would like to come to Yucheng to serve as the director of the party department, he readily agreed.

But in Zhuang Jihua's view, Chiang Kai-shek sent Feng Yi for other purposes, he had asked Chen Lifu to spy on Feng Wei before, although he did not reveal his purpose to the separation, in fact, he wanted to borrow Chiang Kai-shek's hand to get rid of Feng Wei, he thought that Chiang Kai-shek could not accept that someone was plotting against him, as long as Chen Lifu found out the details of Feng Wei, Chiang Kai-shek would attack him, but in the end Chiang Kai-shek disappointed him, and just transferred Feng Yi from his side. Now that Feng Yi is here, and his reform plan has also been promoted to party affairs, he suddenly found that he still has to obtain Feng Yi's cooperation, which cannot but feel the impermanence of the world.

"Brother Impermanence, harming the interests of some people will inevitably benefit others, in that case, why can't we try it?" Zhuang Jihua said bitterly.

"I'm nothing, Cultural Revolution," Feng Yi's attitude was very sincere: "I'm worried about you, it's a major event for the development of the southwest, in my experience, this matter is very dangerous, it's nothing to promote a Xiao Sanmu, and others won't say anything for the time being, okay?" Since the Chairman has sent me to assist you, I must remind you to be cautious in your subsequent actions. ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Feng Wei's sincere expression, he planned to surprise develop a group of party members in this activity, promote a group of activists, and then replace the current middle-level cadres with a group. This plan was seen by the old and spicy Feng Yi, who was reminding him that this was a minefield, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would blow him up.

"Thank you brother for the reminder," Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while but still expressed his gratitude, after all, he was out of kindness: "But there are still some things that must be done, although it is difficult, we can slow down our pace." ”

"If only you understood." Feng Wei said calmly.

Xiao Sanmu's promotion slightly stimulated the mood of some people in the lower party department, but except for Feng Yi, an old fox, who saw some of Zhuang Jihua's intentions, others did not have this sensitivity. Zhuang Jihua still developed a group of party members among the workers according to his intentions, but the matter ended there.

After the Spring Festival, the first phase of the steel plant was completed a month ahead of schedule, a 180-ton blast furnace was ignited, Zhuang Jihua looked at the jumping furnace with sunglasses, the flame reflected his face red, he looked at the churning flame, more than a year of hard work finally had some results.

"Mr. Eckerd, how long does it take to turn this furnace ore into molten iron?" The entire equipment of this steel plant was imported from the United States, and Eckerd was the chief engineer sent by the United States.

"About six hours." "It can produce 700 tons of iron a day, 200,000 tons a year, and after the second phase of this plant is completed, it will be the largest steel plant in China, second only to Hachiman Steel in Asia," he replied. ”

"Well," Zhuang Jihua got up and looked at him: "It's not enough to be second to it, to surpass it." Director Yan, can we produce rails and barrels and barrels now? ”

The director of the steel plant is Yan Enqi, a steel expert, who participated in the construction of the plant from beginning to end, and some of the factory's engineers were recruited by him.

"There are no problems with the rails and barrels, the barrels will take some time, there are no problems with the small-caliber barrels, mainly the barrels of heavy guns, the compressive strength is not enough." Yan Enqi said.

"To solve it as soon as possible, I remember that the second phase of the project you proposed to build a special steel workshop, is this for it?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Yes, special steel is mainly used for military purposes, such as heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, large-caliber artillery, and the requirements for steel are very high." Yan Enqi said.

"Well, the technical thing depends on you," Zhuang Jihua turned his face to him and said: "I still have a worry, that is, workers, other factories have happened, the lack of skilled workers eventually leads to poor product quality, how are you here?" ”

"Relatively speaking, we don't have much of a problem here, the workers who have come back from the United States are very good, and they are enough now, but after the second phase of the project, the lack of skilled workers will become a big problem." Yan Enqi said: "Can you ask the US side to train another batch of such workers?" ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded and said, "No problem." ”

When he left the United States, Zhuang Jihua drew up a plan, and Mr. Mei came forward to buy factories in the United States as China's rear support, including steel mills, train overseas Chinese workers in these factories, and send them back to China after leaving the school. Such training factories also included automobile factories, radio factories, machine factories, and the acquisition of several munitions factories, including the well-known automatic weapons company, which together cost more than 700 million dollars. In addition, Zhuang Jihua also wanted to buy Boeing, but Boeing's boss William? Boeing refused, much to his regret.

"When will steel production reach millions?" Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, but he didn't know that Yan Enqi and others around him were already very satisfied, and Eckerd was even more proud, he was very excited to Zhuang Jihua and said: "General, I have been working in this industry for 20 years, in my long career, this factory will leave me the deepest memory, we only took 16 months, to complete the site selection to production, this is a great speed, incredible speed." ”

"But such a plant is not enough, we need to be faster, and strive to break through the annual output of one million tons of steel within three years." Zhuang Jihua's calmness made Eckerd a little frustrated, and he retorted: "General, your ambitions are too big, three years is unrealistic, and ten years is about the same." ”

"I also know that it is very difficult, but our country needs so much steel." Zhuang Jihua sighed.

As soon as the country was mentioned, Yan Enyan's mood also came down, and the development of the situation was as expected before Zhuang Jihua entered Sichuan, saying that the army had attacked the Great Wall, and the time for the outbreak of a full-scale war was getting closer and closer, and the speed of construction must be faster.

"General, I used to look down on China, but now I don't think so," Eckerd said: "I think that if there is a full-scale war between China and China, as long as you persist, you will be the one who wins." ”

"Mr. Eckerd, your judgment is very accurate," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "We have already taken a step, and our speed will get faster and faster, as long as we can reach one-third of the industrial scale of Yueben, no, one-fourth, we can defeat Yue himself and drive them out of China within five years." After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua said to Yan Enqi and Eckerd with great interest: "Go to the rolling workshop to have a look, and then drink your celebration wine." ”

In general, Zhuang Jihua is still very satisfied with the trip to Qijiang, and on the way back, he is joking with palace embroidery and Wu Ziniu along the way, these two people really don't know what they think, he has already told Wu Ziniu to let him take the initiative, and he also mentioned it to Gong Xiuhua, but neither of them moved, so Zhuang Jihua had no choice. As for Lu Ruishan, he is almost thirty years old, and Zhuang Jihua also persuaded him to find a woman to settle down, but Lu Ruishan doesn't seem to be very enlightened in this regard, and he would rather wipe the gun if he has nothing to do, and Zhuang Jihua has no choice.

After going ashore at the Guanyin Bridge wharf, he walked along the cement road to the base, and saw the figure in front of the gate of the base from afar, Zhuang Jihua was shocked, what happened? Li Zhilong, why didn't they report it? Gong Xiuhua They also found out about this situation, and their expressions suddenly became serious.

Getting closer and closer, suddenly someone in the group shouted, hula ran towards Zhuang Jihua and them, Lu Ruishan immediately caught up, and Wu Ziniu stayed by Zhuang Jihua's side.

"General Zhuang, General Zhuang, can you talk about penicillin?" A reporter rushed quickly and spoke in a very eager tone.

"General Zhuang Zhuang, penicillin... Hailed as a great advance in the history of human medicine, why did you buy the patent rights for penicillin? Did you know it right then? "Female journalists are slower, but the questions are much more professional?

"How much can penicillin be produced now?"

"I heard that penicillin can win the Nobel Prize, is that true?"

Oh my God, Zhuang Jihua's head suddenly became bigger, and an inexplicable joy rushed into his chest, penicillin finally opened the situation, and the golden rooster began to lay eggs.

The golden rooster began to lay eggs, but the robbers also followed, and a war without gunpowder began, and Zhuang Jihua's enemies were killed from home and abroad to Yucheng.
