In the eyes of many people, the industry of the Republic of China seems to have developed vigorously. But He Zhengdao, who has read the relevant information, pays more attention to people's livelihood and military industry for the development of so-called industries by warlords in various places, but the most important thing seems to have forgotten.

The steel industry, which is the backbone of a nation's industrial series. What makes people a little speechless is that during the Anti-Japanese War, there was no shortage of raw materials or workers in the Kuomintang area. However, steel mills and machine processing plants have closed down in large numbers.

This situation also has a very important relationship with the fact that most of the foreign compradors in charge of relevant affairs in the current national government are in charge. Many people only know that they dislike the quality of domestic steel, but they rarely find ways to carry out steel refining experiments.

It is only known that the purchase of high-quality steel from abroad is that the person who handles it can get a lot of kickbacks. As a result, the imperial relatives who served as foreign compradors of the government immediately regarded this kind of thing as an important means for them to get rich.

Since you can buy the steel you need for money and get the approval of those in power, there seems to be no incentive for anyone to develop your own steel industry.

As a result, the development of China's steel industry has been slow, and even industrial regression. For example, during the period of the Beiyang warlords, they could make cannon steel and gun barrel steel, but after the "great development" of the "golden decade" of the Republic of China, they could not be made at all.

He Zhengdao, who was well aware of this problem, took the steel plant as an important project development when reorganizing the industry of the Yulin Arsenal. In terms of financial support, it is undoubtedly the most in the entire ordnance industry.

Because He Zhengdao knows that only by developing the iron and steel industry can we truly support the military industrial system and the future construction of the country's heavy industry. Without a large steel plant, the idea of building an industrial base is undoubtedly on paper.

In fact, this time I came to Yan'an to report on work, even if these leaders didn't mention these things, He Zhengdao also planned to tell them about these things. The political commissar of the Yulin border area of the independent column alone. You can't accomplish such a big thing.

Listening to He Zhengdao's description of the current problems encountered in the arsenal, Mao Taizu also nodded in agreement: "Yes! How difficult it is to start from scratch in a situation where you are poor and white! It seems that this battle will be fought no matter what! ”

The other Chen Geng, who was sitting around the dining table, even wanted to know what He Zhengdao's so-called plan was. But neither of them said, and he was not good at asking. But for a large arsenal. He also knows how difficult it is to build.

Facing everyone's grim expressions, He Zhengdao said with confidence: "Chairman, commander-in-chief, I admit that when I made the battle plan, I was too bold in my thinking. But judging from the current situation, we actually have a good chance of winning.

Not to mention recovering these lost territories, I believe it will not be too difficult to grab a batch of things from the hands of the little devils. The most important thing, after so long and hard fighting. Although we have suffered a big loss. But for the little devils, aren't they hard?

On the contrary, I started the layout more than half a year ago, and I sent my troops out. With only an independent mixed brigade of the little devils currently placed in our defense area, I really want to break through his blockade line, but I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for a day.

At the moment, the little devil is a tired enemy, and after my troops have rested, they can be described as waiting for work. The odds are still very good. Even if the plan is finally known by the little devils, it is nothing more than another big fight. Anyway. It's just a war!

I even think that in the current situation, it is better to fight in other people's territory than to let the little devils block the door of the house, right? Even if such a battle will cost us a lot, but the little devil is bound to not have a good time.

Despite this, the situation of the Battle of Songhu. It is very unfavorable to the anti-Japanese forces of our country. But in the same way, the little devils are fighting on two fronts, and they are under the same pressure. I believe that all the leaders can see that the current forces in the hands of the little devils are also tense.

Eliminate a little more of their elite, and our war of resistance will be much easier to fight in the future. A small snake. If you want to play the snake swallowing elephant trick, the chance of its success is almost zero. Now the elephant is just stunned by its venom.

When the elephant wakes up, it can be trampled to death with a single kick. And what we have to do now is to be ready to act as the elephant's foot that trampled on this poisonous snake. Even if there is a chance in the future, drive the little devils out of our land step by step.

In the end, with the power of the elephant rampage, he gave them an elephant to step on the company camp, and recovered the northeast where they are currently serving as a logistics base in one fell swoop. In that way, we will truly have the foundation and capital to create a better future for a new China. ”

Such descriptions and metaphors, as well as the relatively subtle hints at the end, made everyone feel uplifted. Even Mao Taizu smiled and said: "Boss, it seems that we are really old, and young people's ideas are much bolder than ours!" ”

'Chairman, I've heard people say before, 'The stage is as big as the heart. Although our strength is not strong at present, I believe that after a series of battles, our army can be truly tempered.

The object we rely on is the largest number of toiling people in China today. As long as we stick to this goal, I firmly believe that we will see the day when the earth will be renewed. I also thought that in the future, I would have the opportunity to find the so-called Emperor Lala! ’

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhu also laughed and said: "Old Mao, it seems that you are right, you kid is so bold that there is no boundary!" Looking for the emperor Lala's homework, I guess you kid dare to say this. If you want to do this, I'm afraid it's hard! ”

As a result, He Zhengdao suddenly said very stubbornly: "Commander-in-chief, when you led your troops to meet the chairman in Jinggangshan, how big was our team at that time?" And now? We control the base areas in nearly two provinces, and the number of troops is dozens of times larger than before.

As long as we take the next step, we will take every step in a down-to-earth manner. By the time we have the ability to recover the three eastern provinces, who would dare to say that we don't have a strong navy? With the navy, why can't we go to the territory of the little devils? ”

Mr. Peng, who was sitting on the side, also interjected: "Although this sounds a bit arrogant, I must admit that Xiao He's words really sound uplifting. At the moment we even have an air force, and the navy will definitely have it in the future.

If we really have a strong navy and air force, with the little devil's population, we can drown it if we engage in sea tactics. However, if you want to do this, I don't know how many years you will have to wait! ”

'Mr. Peng, I believe that day will not be too long! ’

He Zhengdao, who replied to Mr. Peng's sentence, ate a few mouthfuls of food and continued: "Vice Chairman Zhou, there is something that may require you to work harder. As far as I know, many factories of the Nationalist Government are planning to move to the southwest for reconstruction.

My idea is that we can invite more skilled workers through our communication channels. Especially the technical talents who are good at steel smelting and machinery, we are in urgent need!

As long as we have a large number of skilled workers, we can build a stronger and more solid industrial base. With an industrial base, in the future we will be able to build guns and cannons, and even produce tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft.

To be honest, at present, the national government has not achieved resource integration at all in this regard. For those technical talents who really want to create a national industry, more attention is not paid to it. In their opinion, it is wisest to build rather than buy.

I mean, taking advantage of the fact that Lao Jiang is now busy moving the capital and relocating these factories, we will also fight Lao Jiang's autumn breeze. Even when I came, I had already thought of a place to set up a large steel plant in the future. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's narration, Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "I can start to arrange this matter." In this war of resistance in the northwest, our Eighth Route Army fought well, and many people have high expectations for us.

I don't dare to say it, bring all the workers who moved to Lao Chiang's interior. But I believe it is still certain to pull a group of people who are really willing to work and talent. It's just that you said that you want to set up a large steel plant, and you don't plan to put it in Yulin? ”

'Yu Bo, can you find a map?' If we want a military map of the whole of Shaanxi, let's look at the map and say, so that we can say it more clearly. Personally, I think it would be good to separate the steel mill from the arsenal.

Even this time, I plan to propose to the central government that all the existing private industries in Yulin be relocated to northern Shaanxi. The advantage of separating these plants is that you don't put your eggs in one basket.

Even if the little devil sends a plane to bomb in the future, it must not be so easy to blow up the little belongings we have accumulated at one time. Secondly, there is another reason, which is to reduce the management pressure of our column. ’

In He Zhengdao's view, the reason he said is naturally reasonable. But more, I still don't want to look too ugly. Even if the current independent column manages these factories very well, it also pays a lot of taxes to the central government.

But to some, the independent column running these lucrative factories feels a bit of a fragmentation. He Zhengdao did not want to bother to explain this kind of matter, and it was undoubtedly better to hand it over to the central management.

As long as the arsenal is well managed, the rest of the iron and steel plants and the factories that produce people's livelihood products can be handed over to the central government for management. In this way, the profits brought by these factories will naturally be under the control of the central government.

Hearing He Zhengdao's words, Mao Taizu's expression was somewhat dissatisfied. It's just that he knows that after the previous demotion, this young man already understands the cruelty of some political struggles, and he doesn't want to provoke too much right and wrong.

At the moment, Mao Taizu didn't have much to tell He Zhengdao about this matter. But he felt that when he returned to the station, it was necessary to talk to He Zhengdao. At least in Mao Taizu's view, He Zhengdao is not a handsome general and handsome talent.

Most importantly, this is an all-rounder. Many things, when others can't find a solution, handing them over to He Zhengdao can always bring them a little surprise. Such a talent can't be wronged!

And everyone present, even if they guessed He Zhengdao's intention to make this suggestion, they didn't have much to say. When it comes to this kind of thing, it is extremely sensitive. It is more appropriate to leave this matter to the heads of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters to think about! (To be continued.) )
