Chapter 466 Situation and Response

9oo21983

Perhaps it was Kwon Bei's tough attitude that gave Zhan Tianwei confidence. Or perhaps it was Shen Dongsheng's agitation that worked, and the engineering expert did not flinch again. And immediately put forward his own conditions.

"Four times to complete the Longhai line and the Yuehan line. I'll do my best with this. But I have a few requests. I hope that the president will definitely agree. The first requirement. Allocate road repair funds1 to a dedicated account as soon as possible. and organize a special committee to manage this fund, which I lead; Second, although the U.S. company will send technicians to assist in the work, they are only assisting, they are my subordinates. They must not be above the Chinese technicians; Third, the private land expropriated during road construction. It is up to the central government to come forward and urge the magistrates to assist in this matter; Fourth, the acting U.S. minister to China, John Stade, cannot interfere with my work for any reason, if the U.S. government intervenes. It's up to the president to deal with it, and I'm not going to deal directly with the U.S. government; Fifth, if the construction of the Longhai Railway progresses quickly, I hope to be able to explore the Xinjiang Railway by the way, so as to further extend this section of the railway to Xinjiang. to strengthen control over the frontiers; Sixth1 It is very important that this railway must use the same tracks as the Gyeonghan Line and the Jinpu Line in any case. If this demand is not met, I would rather resign than preside over the construction of this railway. ”

"Alright, alright. You can write these requirements in the official document, and I will review them carefully.

Seeing that Zhan Tianyou put forward so many conditions in one breath. Zhao Bei is also helpless, but he is an expert, of course he, a layman, has to listen to experts, but now he doesn't have time to talk about the railway. It is more important than the construction of railways, or military issues. If it weren't for Zhan Tianyou's sincere heart to make a strong country, Zhao Bei would not have summoned this railway expert at this weapon test site.

"Okay, I'll write it now."

Zhan Tian estimated that he would write, so he found a stool on the side of the schoolyard, put the briefcase as a table on his lap, took out a pen and paper, and began to list his requirements one by one.

Seeing Zhan Tianyi behaving like this, Tian Jinfu also sighed in his heart, and without waiting for Zhao Bei's orders, he asked the guards to move a table, asked Zhan Tianyou to work in the open air at the table, and then walked to Zhao Bei's side and whispered a few words.

Zhao Bei nodded, took out his notebook, wrote a note, and handed it to Tian Jinfu, and then Tian Jinfu left in a hurry and drove away from the Nanyuan barracks.

After Tian Jinfu left, Zhao Bei and the officers present continued to conduct shooting experiments on the light machine guns sent by the Hanyang Arsenal, although the arsenal had already carried out experiments, but the officers still felt that it was safer to test it in person, after all, this machine gun was made in the arsenal, but the people who used the machine guns were soldiers, and no one could be more familiar with the battlefield environment than soldiers.

"Grunt tart,,,,,"

Under the manipulation of several soldiers, the sound of fire from guns and machine guns was incessant, and the officers also took turns to fight. Operated the machine gun with their own hands, and everyone finished firing a total of five boxes of ammunition, which ended the test unsatisfied.

"This light machine gun is good, it can be equipped in the troops. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to equip the platoon. I just don't know if the output of the Hanyang Arsenal will be able to meet the needs? Will the provincial arsenals also be able to start manufacturing such light machine guns? Lan Tianwei made a summary, but also raised questions.

Zhao Bei said: "According to the Hanyang Arsenal. Now it can produce 20 light machine guns per day. However, this is the production of machine guns without affecting the production of rifles, and the production of light machine guns can be further increased if the production of some rifles is reduced. The German machines we imported this time are not only large in quantity, but of good quality, coupled with the assistance of those German technical advisers, the output of machine guns will continue to increase in the future, and after the provincial arsenals are rectified, they must also replace the latest German machines and hire German technical consultants.

However, the main problem now is not whether the production of light machine guns can meet the needs of the troops, but the problem now is artillery, and Liu Guochen sent me a telegram the day before yesterday. Said that he saw a new howitzer in Qingdao Fortress in Germany, and he wanted to imitate it, but this will definitely affect the production of mortars, and seamless steel pipes still need to be imported in large quantities, so I vetoed the suggestion of Superintendent Liu, and now what our army needs most is field artillery and mortars, as for howitzers and mountain artillery, in my opinion, it is safer to import a small amount. In addition, the reorganization of the Wehrmacht must be stepped up, and now the armies in the north are almost reorganized, while the armies in the south are moving a little slowly. I still have to urge, Jiang Baili's side, I don't worry. However, there is no one in Hunan and Jiangxi, and basically they are doing their own thing, and your joint staff office should worry a lot about this

"Why don't I go to the south?" Lan Tianwei said.

"No, you have to stay in Nanyuan and send a reliable person."

"Otherwise, I'll go south. Recently, the north has been too peaceful, and I'm getting sick. Cai was stunned and recommended himself.

"Northern Peace? Brother Songpa can't help but be a little more optimistic, this north seems to be peaceful now, but in fact it is an undercurrent turbulent, and if you are not careful, it will be a chaos

Zhao Bei shook his head with a wry smile, looked to the north, and said: "Just now Tian Yiren came to tell me that news had just come from his Northeast Intelligence Station that another Japanese steamer arrived in Lushun yesterday. The ships were all Japanese soldiers, almost two thousand people, fully equipped, towing field artillery. If we count the Japanese ships that arrived in Lushun the day before yesterday, then now that the Japanese military headquarters has sent at least 8,000 additional troops to Lushun, we should be more careful about what the Japanese want to do. ”

Lan Tianwei and Cai Su also frowned, very worried about this.

"The one we had with Cego last time." Goryeo Agni, shouldn't the plan be moved in advance? Zhang Xiao, who had been silent, spoke.

"Nope! The time is not yet ripe and the preparation is not sufficient. We can't learn from the League, the previous anti-Qing uprisings they moved were basically ducks on the shelves, and the planning was not thorough. The preparation is not sufficient, which is why it will be defeated again and again. ”

Zhao Bei shook his head and disagreed with Zhang Xiaozhun's suggestion, after all, the car in front is overturned, and the car in the back is a lesson. On this issue, as a traverser, Zhao Bei has an advantage, and he is also very cautious.

In addition, Ito was assassinated by North Korean assassins. This incident gave the Japanese military department and government an excellent excuse. Ladies and gentlemen, it may not be long before we can see the Japanese government officially announce the annexation of Korea, which was only a "protectorate" of Japan, but soon, Japan will treat Korea as a formal colony, and the appointment of the governor of Korea is only a matter of time.

Zhao Bei's words surprised all the officers present, although Korea had long been an exclusive colony of Japan, there was still a lack of procedures to officially turn it into a colony in the "legal sense". Could it be that Japan will really use the assassination of Hirobumi Ito to completely erase the only remaining "traces of sovereignty" in North Korea?

Just when everyone was thinking about what means the Japanese government would take to completely annex Korea, Zhan Tianwei had completed his official document, walked to Zhao Bei, and submitted the official document.

Zhao Bei looked at it, and now this towering article is in addition to the conditions put forward by Zhan Tianxuan. There are also some suggestions about the relocation of Wu Hongquan Depot, and it seems that this technical expert has a strong sense of responsibility, but he does not seem to understand why Zhao Bei wants to relocate Wu Hongquan Locomotive Depot.

On the surface, Zhao Bei's relocation of Wuhong Locomotive Factory was to build that. The Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway in the "Grand Cross Railway", but the real intention is just in case, after all, the diplomatic relations between China and Japan are very cold now, and Zhao Bei intends to plan a large-scale anti-Japanese movement on the Korean Peninsula.1 If the Japanese government is angry with China because of this, then no one dares to guarantee that there will not be a war between China and Japan, and once the war breaks out, China's coastal areas may be attacked by the Japanese navy, which has a comprehensive advantage, And most of China's current pitiful industrial base is concentrated in the southeast coastal areas.

The situation is delicate, and in order to deal with the possible bad situation, Zhao Bei must prepare in advance. The relocation of some key industrial enterprises to the relatively safe Inner 6 area, the original intention of the relocation of Wuhong Locomotive Factory is here, but it is just a good excuse to cover up, which even the expert Zhan Tianshu did not understand.

Taking into account the fact that the mobilization of the Japanese army will take some time. Now, there is no sign of military mobilization in Japan, so Zhao Bei has plenty of time to relocate the Wuhong Locomotive Factory to Wuhan. However, if you follow Zhan Tianyou's suggestion of "demolishing the old factory and building a new factory", then. Once the Japanese army began to mobilize. There is no guarantee that the relocation task will be completed on time.

Therefore, in Zhao Bei's view, Zhan Tianxuan's suggestions about Wuhong Locomotive Factory cannot be adopted.

However, Zhao Bei will not tell Zhan Tianyou here that he will not adopt his suggestion, yes, for the issue of railway construction, Zhao Bei is basically a layman, but now he must be a layman to lead an insider. Only in this way can we contribute to this. The state strives for the best interests.

"Not bad, not bad. These suggestions are all good and I will seriously consider them. Mr. Zhan, your sincerity for the country is enough to be a model for the people. Now that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is working on the formulation of the "National Talent Award Program", when the time comes, I will personally nominate Mr. Zhan as the "National Talent." Target. Moreover, in the future, when our country's "Academy of Science and Engineering" is formed, I will also recommend Mr. Zhan as an academician.

Mr. President is one in his heart. thoughts, but the words that come out of this mouth are inspiring. Although Zhan Tianyi is also humble in his mouth, he is beautiful in his heart, when he walks out of the school. The footsteps were also light.

It doesn't matter if you are an official or not, what matters is to leave something for the country, Zhan Tianyou fully believes it. Even after a hundred years, the Chinese will still see his exploits, and his name will remain in the history books, compared to those intriguing political figures. What he left behind for this country is what makes the most sense.

History will prove this eventually.
