Chapter 501: The Last Madness

Qiao Yu has always been very concerned about the construction of the Atomic City, every talent who can enter the Atomic City is a treasure of China, it is already very difficult to concentrate these cutting-edge talents in a relatively backward country like China, and these people are likely to become a titan in the field in the future, they must be given the best protection, if one is lost, it will make the high-level people feel distressed.

Therefore, in the early days of the construction of the Atomic City, Qiao Yu strictly ordered that the best living conditions must be given as much as possible, and because it was inevitable to come into contact with radioactive materials, Qiao Yu also required that strict rules must be formulated in the Atomic City, and everything must be done in accordance with the rules.

Scientific research personnel, security personnel, and logistical support personnel must strictly implement militarized management, and no one can be an exception; the first batch of experts stationed in the Atomic City totaled 87 people, and nearly one-third of these people were from Sichuan University, and they were generally around 30 years old.

At this age, they are undoubtedly considered small characters in the field of scientific research, but now they are about to take on the great cause of China's nuclear weapons, and the significance of this may not be clear to these people, and they are not even sure whether they can finally create something that only exists in theory.

However, when they were about to enter the Atomic City with great ambition, President Qiao Yu, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, and Northwest Supreme Chief Executive Yan Xishan came together.

For everyone, the fact that the president can come in person also shows the importance attached to this matter, so everyone also feels a kind of pressure in their hearts.

"Experts, scholars, you are now shouldering a very important mission, almost related to the life and death of our nation, the country needs your dedication, from now on, you will have to stay incognito, away from the city. Fight for the future of the country in the vast desert. On behalf of the whole country, I would like to thank you for your efforts, and at the same time, I would like to ask you that everything should be people-centered, and our research can be said to be the first of all countries, so it is more important to pay attention to safety, and I will give you twenty years to succeed by then. It's not too late! ”

Qiao Yu then personally inspected the Atomic City, and the first Chinese experts were stationed in it and began to fight for China's nuclear cause.

"President, 20 years is a bit too long, I estimate that the preliminary research work will take at least five years, and in 10 years, it should be possible to build atomic weapons. After all, China's industrial level will also improve rapidly in recent years, and all kinds of talents will continue to emerge, fifteen years is enough! ”

"Brother Baili, if you want to develop an atomic weapon, you are afraid that the difficulties you encounter are beyond imagination, and there is nothing wrong with a long time, the power of this weapon is too great, and there are too many taboos to use. China doesn't need to be the first to develop it. The most important thing is not to fall behind, it is enough to be able to follow the first echelon! ”

Nuclear weapons are the most useful weapons. It is also the most useless, useful because as long as there is such a weapon, the security of the territory can be guaranteed, and it is not said that in the original history, only the United States nuclear weapons participated in actual combat, and the rest became decorations.

Qiao Yu knows very well that even if China gets nuclear weapons before other countries develop nuclear weapons, most of them cannot be used on the battlefield, and the biggest role is to help China seize benefits, such as the South Seas region, which is a crossroads, and countries will never allow China to monopolize it, and nuclear weapons play a role at this time.

Qiao Yu did not rush to leave the northwest, but carefully inspected in Lanzhou, Yan Xishan is really a capable person, Lanzhou has become extremely prosperous in his hands, and the level of economic development is not weaker than some cities in the central region, the most important thing is that this is a place where all ethnic groups live together, it was easy to have conflicts in the past, but now it is indeed a peaceful and peaceful scene, everything is in order, and the rules are strict.

This is also the point that Qiao Yu values the most, only a good social order can achieve the great development of the country.

"Baichuan, you have worked hard in the past few years, this northwest land is governed by you in an orderly manner, and it is a great achievement for the country and the people!"

"The president praised it falsely, Baichuan is just in accordance with the strategy set by the president, the law comes first in everything, all ethnic groups are equal, the focus is on economic development, and the law is strictly enforced, so that everyone can be convinced, and everyone will have food and clothing when the economy develops, and naturally there will be no trouble!"

Yan Xishan shared his governance experience and discernment, Qiao Yu couldn't help nodding, "It's easy to say, but it's difficult to implement, Baichuan's great achievements must not be ignored, now Premier Wang has every opportunity, there are too many things to deal with, his health is not too good recently, Baichuan is willing to be a deputy to Premier Wang?" ”

Wang Yongjiang's health is indeed not very good, in the original history, the most famous financial expert in modern times has been dead for a long time, and his old benevolence Zuolin was also killed in Huanggutun, but everything has changed in this time and space, Qiao Yu is also extremely concerned about his cadres, giving them the best medical treatment, and they can work for one or two decades without any problems.

However, Qiao Yu also has to consider the balance issue, letting Yan Xishan enter Beijing as vice premier is not only a reward for his merits in the northwest, but also a constraint on Wang Yongjiang, after all, a person has been in a position for a long time, and naturally he will gather a group of followers, and it will be difficult to control.

This principle can also be applied to Yan Xishan, who has been operating in the northwest for many years, and has many henchmen under him, so in order to avoid the tail from falling out, it is better to transfer him to Beijing to be Wang Yongjiang's assistant.

Yan Xishan is also a smart person, and quickly guessed Qiao Yu's plan, but he couldn't refuse, and achieved the throne of vice premier, which means that he is expected to win the position of prime minister in the future, Yan Xishan is much older than Qiao Yu, and the president's hope is not great, if he can sit in the position of prime minister, it can be regarded as the apex of Huan Hai's career, and Yan Xishan is also very satisfied with this arrangement.

After Yan Xishan was transferred to Beijing, the post of supreme administrator of the northwest was abolished, and the northwestern provinces were no different from the hinterland, all of them were administrative regions at the provincial level.

After Yan Xishan entered Beijing, he assisted Wang Yongjiang to sum up the lessons and lessons of the First Five-Year Plan, formulate and implement the Second Five-Year Plan, and China's development has also entered the fast lane.

Time passes. Fast forward to 1929. If calculated according to the lunar calendar, Qiao Yu is already forty years old, as the saying goes, forty is not confused, Qiao Yu has also cultivated into a demon in the political arena under the exercise of these years, and his methods have become more and more skilled, with strong control, China's political arena is also unprecedentedly calm. Everyone knows that there is no ability to challenge Qiao Yu's authority, it is better to work honestly, show real political achievements, strive to win the appreciation of the president, and then rise to the top.

China is working hard to improve its internal skills, while the US economy is soaring at this time. In particular, the upward trend of the stock market is even more crazy, and it seems that it will not stop at all, and many well-known investors have constantly published statements in newspapers that the stock market has reached some kind of sustained peak.

Of course, most of these so-called well-known investors are just clowns packaged by the consortium behind their backs, and most of these people have assets of millions, or even tens of millions, for ordinary retail investors, their experience of getting rich has a huge temptation, attracting everyone to follow up without hesitation.

However, this asset is not even a fart compared to those consortium predators. Push them out. It's just a tool to fool retail investors, and this is also true in later generations. There are experts everywhere, constantly waving flags and shouting for their masters, and they are full of ugliness.

It is worth mentioning that the famous economist Keynes, the founder of Keynesianism, also joined in this crazy speculation, and the result can be imagined, that is, almost bankrupt, from which it can also be seen that the level of this famous economist seems to be very doubtful.

At this time, China's huge capital had begun to withdraw from the stock market to a limited extent, and Zhu Shunchang, who was in charge of everything in North America, had directed the operation of shorting the franc and the yen, and had made huge profits for the Chinese government, and this time he was sent to the United States again.

However, this time due to the huge amount, he was not able to handle it alone, and sent him an assistant named Shi Weiming, who graduated from Chongqing Business School, was the only female student that year, after graduation, Shi Weiming invested in China's newly developed financial market, and made waves, known as the financial queen, is recognized as a financial genius, this time became Zhu Shunchang's assistant, and the two of them jointly commanded China's huge funds.

The U.S. stock market has experienced nearly a decade of bull market since 1921, and the Dow Jones index has been pushed from 75 points in 1921 to 363 points in 1929.

The stock market has developed to this point, and it is not far from a crash, but the vast majority of retail investors will not have this awareness, and what awaits them can only be sheared fiercely.

Looking at the smiling American people, Zhu Shunchang suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, "Miss Shi, Lao Tzu said more than 2,000 years ago that the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the shortcomings, and the way of people is not enough to serve more than enough. Now the world is completely walking the way of humanity, not the way of heaven, these ordinary people are going to be ruthlessly deprived, and the real wealth will expand without limit, how do I feel that we are committing crimes! ”

"Big mistake, how many years have European and American countries plundered China, didn't the gold and silver wealth that our ancestors had worked so hard to accumulate been deceived by them with opium smoke, there should be no politeness to them, we are now doing the right thing for heaven, taking back what belongs to us, Lao Zhu, when are you so sentimental, people who play finance must first have an iron heart, just make money ourselves, no matter what others are bankrupt and their wives are separated, not to mention Westerners!"

Zhu Shunchang also nodded constantly, in fact, he didn't really feel guilty in his heart, but he couldn't bear the huge profits, according to the current conservative estimates, if all the stock market funds were cashed out, China would be able to get at least one billion US dollars, and due to the economic crisis, the price of raw materials would inevitably plummet, and China could still get a huge profit in the futures market.
