Chapter 460: Industrial Construction and the Navy!

"Pu Yi is gone, and now he has no time to take care of this person!"

Wang Hengyue waved his hand disapprerovingly: "The focus now is on domestic construction. Nanjing Heavy Machinery Factory, Shangbihai Machinery Factory and other factories have been put into construction, and the pace of industrialization in China must be accelerated to keep up! Most of the government's investment and energy during this period will be put into this. ”

At this time, the president seemed to have forgotten all about the war that was taking place in Russia and the matter of Pu Yi, but carefully said there:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the strategy of industrializing a strong country is one of the most important goals of the current government development, but an industrial power is not something that can be realized, it needs a large amount of funds from the country to back it up, and it also needs advanced technology to support it. The government must do its best to support it!

Accelerate the transformation of the mode of development, enhance competitiveness, improve the quality of development, and lay a solid foundation. Vigorously cultivate and develop emerging industries, vigorously develop productive service industries, and vigorously optimize the structure. Another is the issue of talent. Talent, talent, this I have mentioned more than once on different occasions! To discover talents, but also take the initiative to invite talents in! ”

Wang Hengyue's speed of speech was very fast, and even a little urgent.

Time will not wait! There is not much time left for yourself and the country!

In his vision, priority would be given to the development of heavy industry to achieve industrialization. Because the heavy industry that produces the means of production is given priority, the heavy industry provides more and better new technology and equipment, including agriculture and light industry, for the entire national economy.

Only by giving priority to the development of heavy industry can we make the development of light industry and consumer industry faster in the long run.

Wang Hengyue adjusted his tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the Opium War, the Western powers used their power to invade the special powers, frantically dumped commodities and plundered raw materials in the Central Countries, and gradually swept the Chinese markets into the world market, and then the powers of the Western Powers expanded to the coastal provinces and extended to the interior, making it convenient for them to dump commodities and plunder cheap raw materials and labor, making it difficult for the Central Powers to resist the impact of the economic aggression of the Great Powers. In my opinion, it is far more difficult to win this economic war than it is for us to unify the whole country! If this battle is won, it will be more meaningful than our military army pretending to have a hundred divisions, but if we lose, I am afraid that our national family will still not be able to turn over! ”

This meeting was held for a whole day. The subsequent meeting lasted for three days.

The path of China's industrial development was also basically drawn up at this meeting.

After that, the decision to issue the national government currency began to be in full swing.

The paper money issued is "Hua Yuan", and the emergence of Hua Yuan will put an end to the situation in which all kinds of military stamps, banknotes, and various silver dollars circulate everywhere in the Chinese Yuan Kingdom, each doing its own thing.

The unity of the Guoyuan family does not mean that the world is already peaceful, and a lot of things are waiting for Wang Hengyue to deal with!

This was even more costly than carrying out the Northern Expedition.

In mid-November, the first batch of warships ordered from Britain and the United States finally arrived in China!

This one consists of a "Queen Elizabeth-class" battlecruiser and a "City-class" cruiser!

The Kuomintang Revolutionary Army and Navy finally have a battle cruiser of their own!

The battlecruiser was named "President", and the cruiser was named "Northern Expedition".

On November 2, Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, boarded the "President"!

Although the development focus of the Chinese navy is on aircraft carriers and submarines, when he really stood on the "President", Wang Hengyue's heart couldn't help but feel excited.

The "Giant Artillery Ship" will definitely become history, but since the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division, it is the dream of the Chinese Navy to have a huge battleship!

And now, I brought this battleship to them!

The arrival of the "President" and the "Northern Expedition" means that the pace of the reconstruction of the Chinese Navy has taken a very important step!

He will also bring more and stronger warships to the navy, and he will also order the shipyard to start working overtime day and night to produce warships that are completely designed and built by himself. …,

The designers and engineers from Germany will be the most important help for themselves!

The dream of a naval power will definitely come true!

Maybe it's not his own generation, maybe it's going to take a long time, but Wang Hengyue can afford this time, this money, and this energy.

A strong navy is not only the dream of the navy of the Chinese Empire, but also its own dream!

"There will be more warships to come."

Standing on the deck of the "President", Wang Hengyue's voice sounded very calm: "I will bring you countless warships and let our navy gallop in every corner of the world, although these words now sound very much like a dream there." However, I firmly believe that one day it will be realized, and it will definitely be possible! ”

Chen Shaokuan, the admirals on the side, nodded silently.

They always had a firm belief in their hearts that as long as the president wanted to do something, he would be able to do it, no matter how hard the process was.

He seems to have a magic wand that turns stones into gold, and everything that is rotten can shine in his hands.

"Report!"

With this voice, a young and heroic naval officer walked in front of Wang Hengyue.

"Come, let me introduce you." Wang Hengyue pointed at this person with great interest: "This is our first Wolf-class submarine developed with the assistance of German engineers, Captain Chen Shui of the Wolf 01 submarine!" ”

"Hello President, hello Chiefs!" Chen Shui saluted with a military salute.

Wolf-class submarines? Chen Shaokuan was a little curious, why did he choose such a name?

Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "The whole country has been unified, and I will build four major shipyards in the country, of which the production of submarines will be a very important piece and the top priority of all production!" ”

The great president attaches great importance to submarines, which is something that almost all the admirals of the Chinese navy know.

It's just strange that the president never mentioned the issue of aircraft carriers.

No one asked, because they knew that all the answers were in the president's heart

As he was talking there, he suddenly saw Yu Lei hurrying over, and when he saw so many people, he stopped there and nodded at Wang Hengyue. Wang Hengyue quickly knew that something was wrong, so he asked his subordinates to talk about it first, and came to Yu Lei:

"What's the matter?"

"Something big has happened in Taijiang."

"Taijiang?" Wang Hengyue was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

Yu Lei quickly told the story of what happened in Taijiang, Fujian.

In November 1919, in view of the fact that the Central Kingdom had completed the unification of the Central Territory and at the same time resisted the high tide of Japanese freight movement on the land of the Central Empire, it deliberately planned to "take Fuzhou as the point of difficulty" to create trouble.

The Japanese authorities first sent more than 80 criminals from Taiwan Bay to Fujian and ordered them to launch a provocation with the Fujianese people in order to "atone for their crimes." Later, the Japanese Consulate General in Fujian organized a "death squad" to allocate funds to purchase murder weapons and wait for an opportunity to provoke.

On November 12, the Japanese Consulate General in Fujian fabricated the so-called fake news that "the Japanese businessman Rui Kee & Co. carried two boxes of matches to Qiaobei at 2 p.m. on the 11th, and was taken to Damiao Mountain by Xueyuan students to be burned when passing through Zhongzhou", and distributed them to various newspapers in Fuzhou. The newspapers refused to publish the newspaper because of its false accusations, but the "Qiushi Bao" was temporarily overlooked and published it, and after investigation and verification, it was found to be true, and it was corrected.

However, the Japanese side then took this as a basis and unreasonably demanded three guarantees from the Fujian Negotiation Bureau, namely, punishing the students, compensating for losses, and ensuring that they would not resist Japanese goods in the future, thus creating public opinion in preparation for the brutal killing of Chinese people.

On the afternoon of 16 November, the Japanese side dispatched 60 "death squads" under the command of the Japanese police chief in Fuzhou, Takeshi Kou, to guard the area around the head of the Taijiang Bridge.

In the evening, five or six teachers and students from the YMCA School and the Majiang Naval School passed through the bridgehead, and the Japanese thugs rushed up, swords and sticks were fired, and guns were fired indiscriminately. Although the police at the scene were ordered not to return fire, they still arrested 10 culprits including Eguchi Yoshikai on the spot.

That night, the Japanese side sent personnel to the Fuzhou Police Investigation No. 4 Sub-Bureau to recover the culprit. On November 17 and 18, the Japanese "death squads" became more and more arrogant, and continued to pursue and beat up students in Taijiangxun, Yingzhou Road, and other places, creating bloody incidents! …,

After the Japanese Consulate General in Fujian single-handedly directed the bloody incident, it sent a note to the Fujian Negotiation Bureau, accusing Fuzhou students of illegally robbing Japanese businessmen of goods, and "to rush together with the people of the country and perform a tragic drama of bloodshed."

At the same time, the Japanese government dispatched three warships, the "Saga," the "Tachimaru," and the "Sakuramaru," to the mouth of the Minjiang River. This is the "Fujian case" that shocked China and the rest of the world, also known as the Taijiang incident.

The violent acts of the Japanese aroused great indignation among the Fujian people. On the 17th, all students in all schools in Fuzhou went on strike, and all urban and rural stores went on strike; More than 10,000 participants from the industrial, agricultural, commercial, and academic circles of the Fujian Federation of Students initiated a meeting of the National People's Congress in front of the provincial assembly, and the meeting called the government government to request representations to the Japanese government.

At the same time, he called the federations of various circles across the country to request support for the people of Fuzhou in their struggle for love and love. Under pressure from the people, the Fujian Negotiation Bureau also lodged a protest with the Japanese side.

The news of the Taijiang incident soon spread throughout the land of Fujian, and people from all over the country raised their voices of support. Mass gatherings in various circles in Xiamen protested against the discussion and showed their prestige; Various circles in Putian also called the government to ask for serious representations to the Japanese government. "Fenxing Daily" published a commentary, calling on the people of the province to join the anti-Japanese struggle.

Since then, the arrival of Japanese freight in various parts of Fujian has become more intense. Li Zongtao, a student of Fuzhou Provincial No. 2 Middle School, "angrily drew a knife and broke three fingers, advocated domestic products with blood and books, and persevered to the end; Gather strength and work together, swear to the shame of the snow country, and call on the people and the people to fight to the end."

Fuzhou students punished profiteers who continued to deal in Japanese goods by cutting off their ears, "thinking that scum would be a lesson for them."

Wang Hengyue was furious when he heard this, and almost gritted his teeth there and said:

"Why is it only now being reported? Why are you acting so weak? Immediately remove from their posts and investigate them, and give me the removal and investigation of all the officials in Fujian, from top to bottom, and leave no one behind! (Lying on the bear_ provided by no beginning)
