"Developed industry, high-speed development of technology?" Yang Yuanzhao said leisurely.

"Industry, technology?" No matter how good Feng Yuxiang is, he only learned from Guò in China, he has never been abroad, and his knowledge is a natural bottleneck, but it doesn't mean that he can't think.

Yang Yuanzhao's favorite is this, and he continued to inspire: "That's right, industry and science and technology are the foundation of a country's strength, take our Qing Dynasty as an example, the 1840 ** war, defeated by the British, not because the Qing country is not rich, but because of the overall backwardness of science and technology and industry, do you know? In 1840, our GDP accounted for almost half of the world's total! ”

"What is the gross national product?"

"In layman's terms, this is the sum of all the citizens of a country, and he is the sum of all the wealth of a country, and he is the foundation of measuring the comprehensive strength of a country!"

"You say that before 1840, the Qing Dynasty accounted for half of the world's GDP?"

"That's right, even now, it is the whole world, which is very important, but these are just hundreds of millions of people, hard work to create zào, they only represent the wealth of a country, not the strength of a country, the muscles of a country!"

"Then why did we lose?" Wang Jinming asked.

"The difference in technology?"

"That's right, a powerful industry can make warships that can sail all over the world, the overall wealth of the great powers, may not be as good as ours, but their ability to mobilize funds, industrial capacity, far exceeds our country, we need to import even a rifle, when the real war comes, you have money, you can't buy equipment, what to rely on, accumulated before, not to mention weapons and equipment, it will be updated once in a few years, even if it is accumulated equipment, how long can it last!"

Yang Yuanzhao's words seem to open up a new world for Feng Yuxiang, he is a middle-level officer from the bottom, his own talent is outstanding, in the Beiyang Army system, he quickly stood out, and achieved the current talent, but his vision and views are his weaknesses, and now, with Yang Yuanzhao such a prophet who came from later generations and knows the international and domestic situation of this era very well, all of a sudden, cleared the fog and let him see a new world

"Brother Yang Xian, what you said is right, but I am a big boss, I don't know much about what you said about industry, I can only be a soldier, and I can only be a soldier, but if there is anything I can help you, just say, I will do my best." Feng Yuxiang said solemnly.

"That's decided, I hope that one day when I find Brother Feng, Brother Feng won't refuse me!"

"Of course!"

Yang Yuanzhao glanced at Feng Yuxiang deeply, to be honest, Feng Yuxiang at this time, but in his 20s, it was when he was in the prime of life, and he was not a famous defector general in later generations, young man, he always had his enthusiasm and momentum, at this time he didn't think too much about it at all, otherwise he wouldn't have promoted the uprising without hesitation after the first uprising in Wuhan, and even was defeated and captured.

"So, my goal is different from yours, it should be said that it is completely different, I do not advocate violent revolution, of course, I do not support the Qing government, the establishment of the Republic of China, the realization of a democratic republic is imperative, but before that, I want to leave a little foundation for the motherland, a little foundation that can be based on the forest of nations in the world, only this is the great guarantee of the democratic republic, otherwise, the chaotic regime, the warlords are in power, and it will not bring happiness to China, not democracy, but a real disaster!"

In this era, few people have such a vision, see what happened after the victory of the revolution, but Yang Yuanzhao is an exception, the history of later generations, all profoundly prove this, the Civil War, the Second Revolution, the Protector Movement, the warlord secession, the Northern Expedition, starting in 1912, the whole of China is difficult to find a few years to stop, huge wealth, have been evaporated in the war again and again, China missed 20 years, the most critical, but also the easiest time to develop, to the arrival of the Second World War, when Japan blatantly invaded ChinaIn 20 years, China's industry and science and technology have not been greatly improved, it is still poor and white, and even bullets need to be imported, if it were not for the support of the world, especially the United States and the Soviet Union, it would hardly be able to fight.

"Standing on the foundation of the world's nations, well said! Yuan Zhao, I support you! Yang Yue didn't know when, when he woke up, he didn't know how much he heard Yang Yuanzhao say, and then applauded.

Yang Yuanzhao once mentioned that he is willing to build an oriental Ruhr in Baotou, but he understands the development of Germany systematically, he knows very well that the Ruhr is not easy, even if it is a German, it took decades to complete the country's efforts, and China, which is poor and white, is just capital and industrial equipment, which is a difficult problem to solve, but Yang Yuanzhao's heart is full of identification, but it is beyond wordsObviously, he will put everything he can into this goal.

Yang Yuanzhao's words made Feng Yuxiang's face change several times, the words just now touched him very much, the reason why he joined the League was because the League put forward certain requirements for him, the Three People's Doctrine and the establishment of the Republic of China, as if all the body and mind were invested in the revolution, what is the revolution, that is, to use blood and fire to overthrow the Qing government, and then the country will be strong, the people will be free, and China will stand up from then on.

But Yang Yuanzhao hit the nail on the head to name this defect, there are revolutionary slogans, but there is no ability to govern the country, anyone can be revolutionary, as long as there is blood and passion, and then there is a certain organization, you can promote the revolution, but after the revolution, the Qing government was overthrown, what kind of political system to adopt, how to govern this huge and complex country, this is a series of problems, but Sun Yat-sen just did not say a word in this regard, perhaps he knew that the future was too difficult, Maybe he didn't take this into account, but the student in front of him who came back from studying in Britain was at the forefront of others, saving the country through industry, so that China, with industrial achievements comparable to many powers, building an eastern Ruhr, catching up with Germany, and becoming an emerging industrial country, this is the backbone of a country's power, after 1840, every invasion of the great powers, every humiliation, isn't it the consequence of the lack of industry, buy can never buy the most cutting-edge, the most powerful warship, The second ship of Dingzhen in that year, if it wasn't for Germany taking China's money to make a real thing, China might have such a first-class warship, but after getting it, it immediately put Nanshan, did not think about improving, did not seek to forge ahead, so there was the most powerful warship in Asia, but it was still defeated in Dadonggou, the national fortune was sluggish, and the chaos spread, once the first Beiyang naval division in Asia, is now just three or two small boats left, not to mention compared with the European and American powers, and the emerging Japan, can not be compared, this is the sadness of a big country and a strong country.

Feng Yuxiang did not stay in school, but because of the Japanese instructors in the Beiyang, he knows a lot about Japan, Japan is from the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, almost with China's Westernization Movement, but concentrated the strength of the whole of Japan, based on economy and science and technology, staggered through the initial period of industrialization, now Japan, has been dominating in the east of Asia, the Qing Kingdom, the former Celestial Empire, but has become a faltering giant, surrounded by hungry wolves, catastrophe, just in front of you, Maybe I'll be a slave soon.

Feng Yuxiang was silent, didn't say a word, Shi Congyun and Wang Jinming next to him, I'm afraid they didn't think about it so deeply, but they were also deeply shocked, they looked at Yang Yuanzhao's eyes, obviously different, they used to just look at him like an ordinary person, but at this moment, it was with a solemnity, he was different from those who came back from foreign countries, those who admired foreign countries, he was really wise, had big goals, and even had execution, such people, the boss Feng Yuxiang admired, let alone them.
