Throughout the end of August, all parts of Lanfang were immersed in the joy of a good harvest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Truth be told, many farmers have never seen so much rice in their lives, so much so that many of them, after putting their grain in the granary, are sure that the Lan Fang government will not levy any taxes, so that they lose control of their emotions and cry.
The northerners of the Republic of China like to eat wheat, and the southerners like to eat rice, this is just a generalization.
The real reality is that some are good to eat, catch up with the famine year, eat bran and drink thin, and even if there is another natural and man-made disaster, it is not a strange thing to eat and eat, where is there still the heart to pick and choose?
But in Lanfang, people really eat what they want.
Lanfang is an island country, seafood is extremely rich, and tropical fruits can be found everywhere.
The Lan Fang government has its own state-owned farms, which use tractors for farming, and in the 35 state-owned farms spread across the country, the number of workers is less than 5,000, but they cultivate more than 500,000 acres of land, and the annual output can reach 600,000 tons, which is more than enough to supply all the military and state officials in Lan Fang.
Of course, the above is only theoretical data, the current production is not so high, and during the busy season, the garrisons near these farms will come to the farms to help, otherwise the workers on the farms will be exhausted to death by raising seedlings.
Although it looks very good, Qin Zhiyuan is not satisfied, because the current agricultural machinery is not perfect enough, and it is still a little difficult to carry out large-scale farming.
Therefore, the first research institute opened by Qin Zhiyuan on Penglai Island was the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute, which was headed by Zhan Qiwen, who had already arrived in Lanfang from Corsica.
Zhan Qiwen, a student studying in France, joined Long Chengyuan's research institute two years ago as Long Chengyuan's deputy.
Zhan Qiwen is very good at mechanical design, and participated in the research team of the Corsica Power Research Institute and the Renault factory to jointly develop transport aircraft, and can be regarded as a rising star in the design industry.
What Qin Zhiyuan has to do now is to split these institutes into different professional research institutes, so that they will be more professional and efficient.
This is also normal, when a research institute is no longer sufficient, a spin-off is inevitable.
In fact, at present, all kinds of agricultural machinery have basically appeared, such as the rice transplanting machine used to plant rice, mechanical products have appeared ten years ago, and they are actually applied by the Japanese.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan was unwilling to hand over the patent fees to the Japanese, so he organized his researchers to start tackling key problems and improvements, and the improvement projects were not only rice transplanters, but also harvesters, dryers, and rice mills were all in the scope of improvement.
Qin Zhiyuan wanted to implement agricultural mechanization in Lanfang, so as to accumulate more experience for the future development of the northern Xinjiang region.
At present, the question of the ownership of the northern region is still unresolved.
Although the Japanese were anxious, they still insisted that Lanfang should return the northern territory to the Republic of China, the attitude of Britain and the United States had not yet loosened, and France stood on the side of the blue side with a clear banner and resolutely maintained consistency with Lanfang.
At the recent Congress of the League of Nations, there has been a lot of debate over this issue.
However, it is not easy to solve this problem, because Lan Fang's attitude is very resolute, as long as the Republic of China is still in war, Lan Fang will not return the Northern Territory to the Republic of China.
And Japan's attitude is even more resolute, and the Japanese have now threatened that if Lanfang does not return the Northern Frontier to the Republic of China, then Japan will withdraw from the League of Nations and is ready to solve this problem in its own way.
This is just a threat, and the Japanese have no advantage in other aspects except that the navy can win over Lan Fang.
And with the withdrawal of the Foreign Legion to the Northern Frontier Region, Lan Fang has now concentrated nearly 200,000 troops in the Northern Territory Region, and the Japanese have no advantage at all in the real fight.
What to say about the navy, the navy is indeed useful for dealing with the blockade of island countries, but if it is to deal with such a huge area as the northern territory of Lanfang, the role of the navy is extremely limited, and you can see from the map that the northern territory of Lanfang has penetrated deep into Siberia, and the farthest point has reached the vicinity of Lake Belga, which makes the northern territory have a depth of nearly 2,000 kilometers, and under this premise, warships have almost no role.
If we look at the world war that has just ended, we can see that it is the land battlefield that plays a decisive role in the war, and the only role that the maritime battlefield can play is blockade.
Although Lanfang is an island country, it has a huge territory and vast waters, and when Lanfang initially has an industrial base, then Lanfang will not be afraid of any blockade at all.
What's more, now only Qin Zhiyuan in the world knows the prospect of the Air Force best, and under the premise of having the strongest Air Force in this era, Lan Fang is really not afraid of the Japanese Navy.
Really, Lan Fang's air force is now the strongest in this era, not even one of them.
By the end of the World War, the number of aircraft belonging to the Foreign Legion had exceeded 500, half of which were fighters and half bombers.
In the six months after the end of the World War, Lan Fang continued to order planes from France, and now the number of planes has exceeded 1,000, of which among the 400 fighters, there are nearly 100 "Byangu" fighters produced by the Renault factory.
The "Hiyangu" fighter, known as the "Jian-Yi" fighter in Lanfang, is the most advanced monoplane fighter in the world, and it will take at least ten years for the Japanese to develop it.
And in this decade, I'm afraid that Lanfang's next-generation fighter has been developed, so this generation gap will always exist.
At present, in Lanfang, researchers are studying how to hang torpedoes on airplanes, and once the "torpedo bomber" research is successful, the fleet that the Japanese spent a lot of money to build will become a complete tragedy.
As long as the Japanese fleet dares to come, the Lanfang Air Force will be sure to send those "pride of the Japanese empire" to the bottom.
In order to develop the aviation industry, Qin Zhiyuan set up dozens of aviation clubs in Lanfang, with a complete range of ****** to fighter jets, which can be practiced by all those who are interested in aviation.
Of course, this "owner" is currently limited, and it must be a registered soldier who has joined Lanfang's nationality.
The effect of the policy tilt is extremely significant, only half a year, the number of air force pilots owned by Lanfang has exceeded 3,000, and these 3,000 people have all joined the air force and become Lanfang's "air pride" to protect Lanfang's airspace.
The reason why it can develop so fast is also due to the fact that the current aircraft operation is not complicated, if it is replaced by a jet aircraft in the 21st century, the difficulty of training 3,000 pilots is estimated to make Qin Zhiyuan crazy.
In addition to the air force, Qin Zhiyuan is also strengthening the navy.
Although the world war has ended, Qin Zhiyuan's pace of military strength has not stopped for a moment, and in the current Marseille shipyard, Chinese workers are still building submarines and destroyers, and until the shipyard in Lanfang is completed, these workers will not return to Lanfang, but stay in France to continue to work.
At the end of the World War, Qin Zhiyuan's navy consisted of only a dozen submarines and two dozen destroyers.
At present, the number of submarines has reached 30, and the number of destroyers has reached 35, plus the battleships donated by France, the Lanfang Navy has begun to take shape.
Qin Zhiyuan's development of submarines was mainly for the blockade of Japan after the war in the future.
Lanfang's sea area is large enough, and it is not easy for the Japanese to blockade Lanfang, but it is not difficult for Lanfang to blockade Japan, as long as there are enough submarines, Qin Zhiyuan will be able to carry out a "submarine war" that is even crazier than Germany.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not carry out "unrestricted submarine warfare", and "unrestricted submarine warfare" is too extreme.
Japan's current territory is not only four islands, but also Yingzhou Island, as well as all the islands south of the 50° north latitude that formerly belonged to Russia, so that Japan's national border is actually long enough, from south to north is more than 4,000 kilometers.
However, Yingsu Island and all the islands south of the 50° north latitude of the former Russian country were not sufficiently developed, and Japan's industrial essence was concentrated on the four islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and if these four islands were blocked, the Japanese would be put to death.
Qin Zhiyuan has now ordered the General Staff to begin formulating a battle plan against Japan, and the "blockade" is the core link of the entire plan, even more than how to destroy Japan's combined fleet.
Judging from the current progress, the staff is operating well, after all, there is combat experience in Europe, although there are fewer French now, but it can also ensure the basic operation of the staff, not to mention that Foch is guiding, which is more conducive to the growth of the staff.
At present, there are about 100,000 French and about 300,000 Germans in Lanfang.
Most of these people are all kinds of technicians hired by Lanfang, and most of them still retain their national nationality, but as time goes by, many people have expressed their love for Lanfang, and in the near future, many people will apply for Lanfang nationality.
Qin Zhiyuan himself and Lan Fang's attitude towards immigrants has always been tolerant, as early as when the Foreign Legion was still in France, there were many soldiers and local French women who married each other, and when the Foreign Legion returned to Lanfang, these French women also successfully had Lanfang nationality.
Since it has been created as a fait accompli, it is no longer appropriate to oppose immigration now, so Lan Fang is simply open to immigration, as long as there is a skill, Lan Fang welcomes new immigrants from all countries.
Of course, there are limits to this "all", and there are no immigrants from Africa and the Middle East in Lanfang at present.
This restriction is not explicitly stated in Lanfang's decree, but it is prevalent as an "unspoken rule".
There is a reason why Lan Fang doesn't like Africans and Middle Easterners, if it weren't for the Africans, the Foreign Legion would not have fought so badly in the Battle of "Champagne Chalon", and if it weren't for the Middle Easterners, Qin Zhiyuan would not have returned home in Algeria.
Mmmm, that's really not racism......
