Chapter 196 Giving Advice

"General Liu, I took a cursory look on the way here just now, and there are no air defense facilities in Chongqing at all, which is very dangerous. In particular, there are many wooden buildings in the city, and if the Japanese Air Force carries out a large-scale bombing, Chongqing will face a sea of corpses and fires, and it can be said that a large bombing will kill thousands of people and destroy a large number of buildings in the city. "General Ouyang, are you saying that the Japanese army will bomb the city and massacre the poor is not allowed by the Geneva Convention, and it is not against the little Japan to dare to risk the world?" Liu Xiang was shocked when he heard this.

"General Liu, you are too naΓ―ve, the war is a life-and-death contest between two countries and two nations, just like the law of the forest in the animal world, it is completely the law of the jungle, and there are no rules. Therefore, the Japanese army will not care about the death of the poor, and there is a famous saying in the West that the truth is within the range of the cannon. In the face of such enemies, do not expect them to be kind. In order to prepare for large-scale enemy air raids in the future, and in order to reduce the loss of life and property, it is recommended that you build anti-aircraft bunkers from now on. "General Ouyang, to build a large number of air defense bunkers, you need reinforced concrete, but how can I have spare money to buy reinforced concrete." Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "The topography of the mountain city of Chongqing is naturally formed, and the conditions for building an air-raid shelter are excellent. There is no need to build a large group of bomb shelters, you can take advantage of the difference in the street and dig small hiding holes on the side of the road. ”

"I took a preliminary look at the neighborhoods of the mountain town, and there are a lot of places where there are bomb shelters to be dug. It is enough to hide dozens of people in the air-raid shelters at a time, and if a large number of air-raid shelters are formed in the entire mountain city, the casualties caused by the enemy's air raids can be completely avoided. In addition, in order to reduce expenditures, air-raid shelters can be dug by the private sector, and they must be forced to dig them. "General Ouyang is worthy of being a legend, a good idea, this method is very good." "Digging an air-raid shelter can not be dug indiscriminately, it must be planned in a unified manner, let's go into the house and I will give you the drawings, the construction must be carried out in accordance with the requirements on the drawings, and someone must be sent to supervise and accept."

After the two entered, Ouyang Jian took out the drawings from the document bag and explained them carefully, and finally suggested that Liu Xiang set up a special agency to be responsible for Chongqing's air defense affairs. Because Ouyang Jian's depiction of the horror of large-scale air raids and bombings, especially the depiction of the Japanese Air Force, Liu Xiang's scalp was numb when he heard it, and it naturally attracted great attention. At noon, the two had a drink, and Ouyang Jian suddenly remembered that Liu Xiangying died of illness in 38, which was the most critical period of the Anti-Japanese War. Before his death, he left a will: the war of resistance to the end and unswervingly, that is, the enemy army will not withdraw from China for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to his hometown for a day. There are no deafening words, but they are worthy of grandiose words.

Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that Sichuan Erlang fought bloodily on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and Liu Xiang's will played a role in inspiring morale. Liu Xiang happened to die at the saddest and most critical time of the Anti-Japanese War, and it was in this situation that the Sichuan army continued to rush to the front line, and the front-line troops had to recite Liu Xiang's will every day to raise the flag to show their determination to resist the war to the end. According to reliable statistics, Sichuan has provided 3 million soldiers to enrich the front-line troops in the past eight years, accounting for more than one-fifth of the more than 14 million strong men actually recruited in the country during the same period.

According to statistics, the soldiers of the Sichuan army fought bravely with rudimentary equipment, and the number of casualties reached more than 600,000. Thinking of these Ouyang Jian was a little excited, and he was in awe of Liu Xiang, who was sitting opposite. It is known that Liu Xiang died of hemorrhage caused by stomach problems, and if it is prevented now, it may prolong his life cycle. "General Ouyang's face is solemn, what do you think?" Liu Xiang was surprised. "General Liu, please stick your tongue out!" "I didn't expect General Ouyang to understand medicine and have the ability to observe words and feelings, so I could see that I have stomach problems." Liu Xiang cooperated and stretched out his tongue, and sure enough, the tongue coating was white and thick, which was a clear sign of stomach problems.

"Soldiers have been fighting for a long time, they are hungry and full, and they are very prone to stomach problems. General Liu, stomach problems are not a trivial matter, and we must pay special attention to them. "Thank you, General Ouyang, for your concern, I've had a stomach problem for many years." "General Liu, the Chinese patent medicine tablets we are currently producing are effective in treating stomach problems, and I will send someone to send them to you when I go back. In addition, stomach disease is mainly for recuperation, you Sichuan people are mainly spicy, and fishy and spicy have a great impact on your stomach disease. If General Liu can take my advice, I will ensure that your stomach problem will be cured. ”

"General Ouyang, many famous doctors don't have a good way to deal with stomach problems, could it be that your medicine has a miraculous effect?" "The key to recuperation of stomach problems is to recuperate, but it still needs to be accompanied by drugs. I'll provide you with a diet form, be sure to follow it strictly. If you strictly follow my requirements, I guarantee that your stomach problem will be cured in a year. Liu Xiang seemed to be a little unimpressed when he heard this. Ouyang Jian took out a pen and wrote the recipe for "maintenance" on the paper. Liu Xiang took it over and looked embarrassed. Don't drink alcohol, don't eat spicy food, don't eat too much meat, don't eat too much, and increase nutrition.

This is too difficult for Liu Xiang, but on the surface, he can't refute Ouyang Jian's face and say: "General Ouyang, please rest assured that I will arrange three meals a day according to your instructions and carefully recuperate." Ouyang Jian saw that Liu Xiang was perfunctory, if he had three meals a day, he couldn't bear it. But when his heart arrived, he had to go. "General Ouyang is known for his foresight. Sichuan is well-known to the outside world, and the country of abundance is actually in vain, and it is still a poor and remote country. General Ouyang, in just a few years, you have built a large number of factories in Jiujiang, and at present, half of Sichuan's daily necessities come from Jiujiang. To tell you the truth, I also want to make money, so I ask General Ouyang for guidance. ”

Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "General Liu, there is a good saying, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." Sichuan has the reputation of Emei World Show, Jiuzhai World Strange, Jianmen World Insurance, Qingcheng World Secluded, widely spread. "General Ouyang said with a smile, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't be used as food and drink!" Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "General Liu, you are guarding the golden rice bowl and asking for rice!" Liu Xiang's eyes lit up and asked, "How do you say this?" "What is the kingdom of abundance, which means the Garden of Eden given to you by heaven." "Garden of Eden?" "The Garden of Eden is a paradise created by God, and it is said that human beings were born in the Garden of Eden."

Liu Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "How can Sichuan be compared with the Garden of Eden." "I think Sichuan is more beautiful than the Garden of Eden, because the Garden of Eden is only Eve and Adam and lonely, and our land of abundance is full of creatures, and it is a paradise on earth. Okay, let's get down to business. What is the land of abundance, which means that it is rich in products and good at its own beauty. First of all, shipping in Sichuan is the main route of transportation, and you have to make use of it. The steepness of the Three Gorges is a difficult point in shipping, and if you are interested in developing shipping, I will vigorously support you. "General Ouyang, please give me some advice!" Liu Xiang listened attentively.

"My boiler factory in Jiujiang will be put into operation soon, and in the future, if you want to build a fleet of transport ships, they will all be replaced by steam barges, and I will sell you boilers and steam engines at the cheapest price. If the transport barge is replaced with a steam engine, your transportation costs will be greatly reduced, and the profit will be increased exponentially. "I know that the Yangtze River transportation is very profitable, but there are many reefs and dangerous shoals in the Three Gorges, which is the biggest difficulty."

"In the future, I will send an engineer unit to blow up the reef and dangerous shoals and try to dredge the shipping channel of the Three Gorges." "General Ouyang's kindness, Liu is grateful, I decided to adopt your suggestion and set up a transport fleet." At present, the chemical workshop of the explosives factory in Jiujiang has been put into operation, and ammonia is produced from coal tar, which means sulfuric acid and nitric acid. With sulfuric acid and nitric acid, it means that high explosives are invented. Toluene undergoes a chemical reaction with concentrated nitric acid catalyzed by concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain TNT explosives. Cotton soaked with nitric acid can obtain nitrate**.

Ouyang Jian took care of everything, and it was with TNT explosives that he cleared the underwater reefs and dangerous shoals of the Three Gorges. Since TNT explosives are safe and stable and should not be dissolved in water, they are the most ideal explosives for underwater blasting. Ouyang Jian continued: "Sichuan is the main grain producing area, especially the Chengdu Plain is an ideal place for grain, and you should pay attention to grain production in the future." Don't worry about not being able to sell the surplus grain, I can assure you that in the future, your grain can be sold to Jiangxi, and I will have as much as I want. "General Ouyang is so fierce. Liu is grateful and has another way to make money. ”

Liu Xiang was overjoyed and knew in his heart that the profit of grain in the future would be a considerable amount of income. Ouyang Jian continued: "General Liu, Sichuan is very rich in mineral resources, and as far as I know, the Panzhihua area of your province is rich in iron ore, which is conservatively estimated to be about 10 billion tons!" "You said that Panzhihua has tens of billions of tons of iron ore?" Liu Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, what is steel, it is a priceless treasure. "General Liu, I vouch for my personality, and this is true. I suggest you build a steel mill in Panzhihua! "But where it is occluded, it is not easy to build a steel mill!" Liu Xiang was a little deflated.

"General Liu, Panzhihua has coal, but it is difficult to use it in the short term. You can transport high-quality coke from Shaanxi and build a steel mill first. I am responsible for purchasing the steelmaking furnace and related equipment from abroad, and I am responsible for providing professional personnel. If you want us to cooperate in the form of shares, you are responsible for building the factory and contributing people, and I am responsible for purchasing steelmaking furnaces, related equipment and recruiting engineers? "How big the profit of steel is, Liu Xiang knows very well in his heart. What would it be like if there was a steel mill in Sichuan?

In fact, Ouyang Jian's idea was very simple, this move was to prepare for the retreat of the Nationalist Government to Chongqing in the future, when a large number of factories and arsenals were withdrawn to Sichuan. If there is a steel mill that can produce steel, these factories and military enterprises will solve the embarrassing situation of having no rice to cook, which means that Sichuan, as a rear base, will play a greater role at that time, of course, these words cannot be said to Liu Xiang. If Panzhihua discovers sky-high iron ore, the Nationalist government will also go all out to manage Sichuan in the future, and even in a state of war, it is very likely that a railway will lead to Panzhihua. How to make Sichuan play a role in the future anti-Japanese battlefield, we must start acting in advance.

"General Ouyang, now I am convinced of your words, but how do we distribute the benefits?" "You take the lion's head with six and four of you, but there is one condition?" "General Ouyang, let me say anything, it's like pie in the sky, say it, no matter what the conditions, I will promise you." "The conditions are not difficult, at present, I have built a steel mill in Jiujiang, accumulated rich practical experience, and also reserved a large number of professionals. My condition is that the steel mill must be run according to my requirements, and your people must obey unconditionally. If it goes according to my plan, I promise to put the steel mill into production within two years! ”

"General Ouyang, there is no problem, I will agree to your conditions now! If Liu breaks his promise, he will hit five thunders every day! "General Liu, come and take a closer look at ・・・・・・." The three days passed quickly, and Liu Xiang personally went to Chaotianmen Wharf to see him off that morning. On the pier, a passenger ship stopped there emitting black smoke, and passengers were boarding the ship in twos and threes. "General Ouyang, I'm waiting for your good news!" Liu Xiang showed a reluctant look. ,

"General Liu, we both have a patriotic heart, and that's enough. Please rest assured, I will send people to work as soon as I go back, and I will ・・・・・・ the great cause of resisting Japan while exploring. Soon the passenger ship left the dock with a long cry, until it was gone, Liu Xiang still stretched his neck and couldn't bear to leave. Commander, the liner is gone, and we should go back. The adjutant cautioned. Liu Xiang seemed to be sober and said: "Immediately notify all departments of the provincial government and hold a meeting immediately!" ”
