Chapter Ninety-Eight: Pacifying Sichuan
The Belgians really went to Wuhan to negotiate with Wu Hao and Zeng Simin. At first, they wanted to invest in railways in exchange for resources, but Wu Peifu took them to visit Hubei's transportation network, saying that if you have money, design and build according to this standard. Our transportation system is more than just railways.
The Belgians looked at it and gave up. Belgium is now suffering from an economic crisis and is unable to raise such a large amount of money to invest abroad. As for Henan's coal, iron and gold, the Wuhan government directly said that this is a reserve resource, and the state has no plan to move Henan's resources, but the Wuhan government does not mind trading with Europe for mineral products and agricultural products. Anyway, your excess capacity also needs to be digested, and it may be able to save many companies.
The Belgians thought about it, rather than throwing it in the ground and no one wanted it, it was better to change it to a product and go back and make a profit.
In fact, since March, Lin Changmin has exchanged food, daily chemicals, textiles, hardware machinery and other products for minerals and grain to return to China. Some unique food crops from the Americas and Europe, and even Africa and Australia have entered the research institutes of Xinmin University and Northwest University. For example, some corn, wheat, cotton, sugar beet, soybean, potato varieties. There are more than 10 kinds of beans in Africa alone, as well as royal grains, dragonclaw, and hungry rice. These crops are being planted experimentally, and some are being processed experimentally. After all, things have to be made to meet people's tastes.
These things are sold by big farmers in Europe and the United States, and the local people are starving to death and cannot eat. Many of the staff of the Sasses comptoir are adopting children. In January alone, more than 300 children entered Hubei to study in local schools. There are whites, blacks, mulattoes. They were only four or five years old. Because these employees know that they don't go to Hubei to study at the age of four or five, they won't be able to keep up in the future.
Except for these children. A number of mechanical, petrochemical and technical workers were also introduced. However, in this regard, Lin Changmin said that it is not as good as Germany, and Germany is determined to go bankrupt and also to develop industry and science and technology, and the debts owed can no longer be paid anyway. So a whole lot of white scientists are running to Germany. The so-called anti-Semitic sentiment is in fact the exploitation of Germany by anti-European and American capitalists, many of whom are Jewish. However, it has not yet spread to ordinary people and scholars.
At this time, compete with Germany for talent. It's impossible to grab. It would be nice to be able to get a little bit of a skilled worker. The main thing is to cultivate it yourself.
Lin Changmin's suggestion made Zhang Chun determined to build another university in Dunhuang, and the reason why it was built in Dunhuang. It is because the Dunhuang Academy there has gathered more than 70 experts at home and abroad. Rather than letting them eat their funds in vain, it is better to teach and educate people while conducting research.
In April, Deng Xiaoping and Zhang Yunyi arrived in Changsha with more than 100 remnants of the White Uprising. They were too far away. It's not bad to be able to hold it up.
Ye Jianying and Nie Rongzhen failed in the Jiangxi uprising. When I walked to Nanchang, there were only more than 200 people.
Since Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren's forces have gradually stabilized. The success of the uprising was already very low, and Li Dazhao, on behalf of the Central Executive Committee, secretly ordered all party members who had not yet been exposed to go to the countryside, gain a foothold in the countryside, and not be easily exposed. Unless ordered to do so by the Executive Committee, it is advisable to wait for the right time.
Deng Xiaoping had experience working in factories in France, and Nie Rongzhen was one of the people who valued weapons and equipment the most. So he was sent to Baotou Industrial Zone.
Ye Jianying and Zhang Yunyi were sent to Guangyuan.
Chen Shaokuan, Vice Minister of the Navy of the Republic of China. Because it was not a Whampoa department, it was not taken seriously, the Admiralty of the Republic of China had no money and no power, and Chiang Kai-shek had scruples about the 10th Navy because of the Zhongshan ship incident and suppressed it very much. Therefore, at the instigation of Lin Changmin, he took a group of technicians from the Jiangnan Shipyard to the Wuhan Shipyard, and he was appointed commander of the Yangtze River Fleet.
The Yangtze River fleet consisted of only four ships, all of which were products of the Wuhan shipyard, two 500-ton river defense ships, one 1,000-ton landing ship, and one regiment of marines. The Wuchang shipyard is preparing to start construction of a submarine.
The two 500-ton river defense ships are double-hull lightly armored high-speed ships. Radar and sonar systems already have a search command function. The four groups of four-barrel rocket missiles in the front and rear are not as long as the road-based long-range surface-to-surface missiles, but they are not much different. This thing has an auto-reload function. The rate of fire is fast, the aiming part rotates flexibly, and through the initial positioning and launch angle, plus a certain ballistic calculation, it can achieve a relatively accurate strike. Of course, if you shoot flat at close range, you hardly need to calculate the ballistics.
The torpedo is still an old-fashioned torpedo. It's just that the speed and range have increased.
A torpedo for submarines is still being studied, as it requires stealth and navigation capabilities.
The Germans finally delivered Cai Wuji's small submarine, a submarine that can be as deep as 300 meters, and it is very ingenious in construction and design, which undoubtedly teaches a lesson to the Naval Engineering Academy, which is already a little impetuous. Although the diving suits of the Germans are bulky, the gas tank is not as good as that of the Xinmin Research Institute. However, it can be regarded as the highest technological crystallization of this era.
Because of Einstein's relationship, the University of Berlin and Xinmin University in Germany established friendly relations.
It's just Xinmin University in Shayang. Albert Einstein kept a low profile because he knew that even research around nuclear energy would pose very high risks, and that leaders in other countries might not have the restraint of Zhang Chun. Even Werner, who invited him to the Solvay Conference. Cal. Heisenberg, an outstanding young scientist, only met and admitted his misjudgment of the uncertainty principle and affirmed his research results. However, he said, it is not that it is not accurate, but that it is not only the momentum that affects matter as we know it now, but only a very small part of the system. In other words, there are a lot of things that affect the movement of matter, and if we take a small part of them to measure the whole of them, it will naturally cause errors in measurement.
Einstein explicitly told Heisenberg that he would not attend the sixth Solvay Conference, and that the quantum mechanics established by the Hagen School, represented by Bohr, would not be without flaws because Einstein admitted that his previous views were wrong. But this is a human cognitive and technological limitation. We have only uncovered an insignificant corner of the vast universe.
Zhang Chun attended the meeting, and he invited Heisenberg and his mentor Bohr to visit Xinmin University at an appropriate time.
Heisenberg was to Nanjing with the advisory group of the chief of operations of the German General Staff Headquarters, Fuzel. In contrast to the Wuhan government's arrogant attitude towards all countries, the central government in Nanjing attached much more importance to the German advisory group, and Chiang Kai-shek's admiration for Germany was never hidden. It's just that Verzell looked down on many high-ranking generals of the Kuomintang army, especially those who were old-style soldiers or those who had studied in Japan, and thought that they "only knew how to talk about theories." But Fotzel hit Song Ziwen at first sight.
Because Song Ziwen often came to see his eldest sister, he saw that the Wuhan government had made remarkable achievements in construction and improving people's livelihood, while the Nanjing government was still caught in a vicious circle of increasing and expanding the army, and often clashed with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek is often so angry, but who calls this his brother-in-law.
In June, Song Ziwen actually brought Fozell to Wuhan to see the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Chen Shaokuan hid the two river defense ships of the fleet in the Han River.
After seeing the Yangtze River Bridge, I went to Yichang to see the Yichang Bridge under construction, and then triumphantly took Verzell and Heisenberg back to Nanjing. Didn't look at Chiang Kai-shek's blackened face at all.
In July, Zhu De was transferred back to the military headquarters of the group army, and Chen Yi was appointed mayor of Nanchang City, so He Long was transferred to the commander of the 22nd Army, and he moved the military headquarters from Nanchang to Changsha. Although the reality is not far away. However, only a new editor of Peng Pai was released in Jiujiang; Nanchang left Ma Jun behind, and there was only one garrison division in the city. The three main divisions were transferred to the north.
In Sichuan, peasant self-defense armies everywhere besieged the county town one after another, attacking the city and pulling out the land, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
Under the pretext that the warlords did not care about the people's livelihood and oppressed the people, Mao Shishan ordered the armies of all cities not to clash with the peasant self-defense army, and the garrison army and the peasant self-defense army were reorganized on the spot. Deng Xihou, Luo Zezhou, and Li Jiayu knew that these were all CCP troops, but they had no choice but to admit it.
Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang organized a coalition army in Chengdu, but they were attacked one after another, and when Zhou Rong's multiple rocket launchers appeared, Liu Xiang surrendered, and Liu Wenhui did not know who was killed in the chaos, and the troops were scattered.
It is rumored that Luo Zezhou sent someone to assassinate Liu Wenhui. Liu Xiang, who had already surrendered, was furious and directly killed Luo Zezhou, who had not yet completed the reorganization. As a result, Luo Zezhou fled, and Deng Xihou was killed. Liu Xiang ran to Chongqing with two directly subordinate regiments, and was captured alive by He Long, who succeeded in the sneak attack.
However, the Wuhan government still appointed Liu Xiang as governor of Sichuan Province. Qin Bangxian was the secretary of the Sichuan Party Department and established the party organization. Wang Ruofei served as chairman of the consultative meeting, and Wang Jiaxiang served as chairman of the National People's Congress.
Ye Jianying was ordered to be the commander of the 28th Army, Liu Qinghua was the deputy commander, and Liu Qinghua's division was the main force to form the 28th Army.
Liu Qinghua has already won Panzhihua. Deng Xiaoping was appointed mayor of Panzhihua City, which had nothing at all, and Zhang Yunyi was appointed deputy mayor. The two of them looked at each other at the face of "Panzhihua", who had no hair and couldn't find a position.
But with Ye Jianying moving the military headquarters of the 28th Army over. Two people guessed that this was to build a new city, and it was likely to be a new industrial city. (To be continued......)
