On July 1, 1923, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's delegation, which had successfully completed its mission to Russia, boarded a train bound for Vladivostok.

The Kuomintang received a loan of 5 million gold rubles from the Soviet Union, which could be used to purchase Soviet industrial equipment, the first batch of which included molds and drawings for water bead rifles, molds for 7.62mm rifle bullets, 10,000 gun rods and steel, dozens of machine tools for processing gun barrels, and other equipment that had been packed and shipped.

Lu Ming, a technical expert of the delegation, went to Donetsk to supervise the steel equipment ordered by the steel plant. After receiving the telegram from the delegation, Sun Yat-sen immediately appointed Ma Junwu, a doctor of engineering from the University of Berlin and a metallurgical expert, as the director of the steel plant, and began to prepare for the construction of the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant.

According to the plan, this steel plant will have a production capacity of 150,000 tons of iron, 100,000 tons of steel, and 50,000 tons of special steel, and has branches of Dabaoshan iron ore, coking, refractory, power, ironmaking, steelmaking, special steel, and steel rolling. Among them, the equipment of the special steel mill and the rolling mill will be mainly imported from Germany, and the rest of the equipment will be all made from the Soviet Union. After the completion of the special steel plant, it will have a 25-ton electric arc furnace, a 3,000-ton extruder, a 1,250-ton extruder, a 3,000-ton forging machine and other key equipment. The total investment of the factory is 45 million silver dollars, of which nearly 30 million silver dollars and almost more than 2 million gold rubles will be used to use loans provided by Soviet Russia, and the rest will be raised by the Kuomintang itself. In addition to providing loans and equipment, the Soviets would mobilize a group of German engineers and mechanics through the Comintern to participate in the construction of factories and help train workers and technicians. The construction period of the entire plant lasted for four years, and according to the plan, it was planned to be fully completed and put into operation by the end of 1927. At that time, China will have the production capacity to produce military steel, including gun barrel steel and gun bar steel. Of course, this level of heavy industry is only a drop in the bucket compared to the more than 4 million tons of steel produced by Tsarist Russia before World War I.

Of the remaining 2.5 million gold rubles from the 5 million gold ruble loan, Lu Ming proposed to purchase Soviet hydropower, chemical and copper smelting equipment, which would be used to build a series of small hydropower stations in Guangdong, an explosives factory, a gunpowder factory, and a copper smelter. At the same time, a series of infrastructure projects such as power grids, railways, and highways in Guangdong will also be carried out soon, and the funds for these projects will not only use part of the surplus, but also find ways to raise funds through raising shares from wealthy businessmen or directly handing over to commercial offices.

Putting down the long list in his hand, Luo Yao took a breath and said to himself: "It's finally a full load!" With these factories, we have had the most basic defense industry since 1928, and we always have to pay some price for the demise of others. ”

"What? With so much heavy industry, will it still be destroyed? Chiang Kai-shek still sat in a box with Luo Yaoguo on the way back, and listened to Luo Yaoguo's "theory of the death of the country" Lao Chiang was very disapproving, he said: "China has a population of 450 million, and with these heavy industries, the destruction of the country and the extinction of species will definitely not happen." ”

"I'm not worried about the extinction, but it's hard to say about the destruction of the country." Luo Yaoguo stood up and paced in the box with his hands behind his back. "Jiegong, I have been in China for thousands of years, and I don't know how many people have perished, and there have only been two deaths in the world. With these heavy industries, we will not be able to lose the world, and it is difficult to say that the country will die. Then Luo Yaoguo pointed to the wall of the box, then to his ear, and did not say any more.

At this time, in another box, the four members of the GCD also gathered together to take stock of the profits, and when the GCD returned, there was one more person, named Borodin, who would be the chief political adviser of the Kuomintang and participate in the reorganization of the Kuomintang and the drafting of the draft of the Kuomintang's organic law, party constitution, and party program.

"Brother Tailai, we can be said to have returned with a full load this time! The entire 2,000,000,000 gold rubles in aid fell into the hands of our party, and the feasibility of this north-western military plan is quite high! According to this plan, it is very likely that our party will become the ruler of Yanjing in 1925! Speaking of Yanjing, Qu Ming's eyes flashed with tears of joy. When we entered Yenching, it was like the October Revolution taking control of Petrograd, and complete victory was just around the corner! ”

Zhang Tailei also had a heartfelt smile on his face, but he was obviously calmer than Qu Ming, he said: "Brother Xien, don't be too happy, the final implementation of this plan still depends on the cooperation of the two parties, and the Kuomintang will be willing to watch us enter Yanjing?" There's got to be a problem. ”

"What's the problem? This plan was drafted by Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo, the Northwest Military and Political Commission was also proposed by the Kuomintang, and Comrade Mao Zd's Chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Commission was also personally appointed by Sun Yat-sen. Qu Ying's eyes widened, and her mouth convulsed, as if she was blaming Zhang Tailei for being suspicious.

"Yes." Qu Ming is also as naïve as his sister, and his explanation is: "The Kuomintang is now in power all Cantonese, and they can see the Yangtze River as far as they can see. Moreover, after entering Yanjing, it is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the imperialism of the Kuomintang, hmph, there are quite a few Kuomintang-feared factions. ”

Zhang Tailei listened to Qu Ming's arguments, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't like the innocence of Qu Ming's brothers and sisters, especially Qu Ming, who seemed to be quite shrewd and read a lot of books, but this brain was developing in the direction of nerds. The Central Committee has held many meetings to discuss and study the Kuomintang's current excessive sincerity, but it has not come to a single conclusion. The opinion of the majority of comrades is that it is necessary to continue to be vigilant, especially against the rightists of the Kuomintang, and to unite the left wing of the Kuomintang, win over the centrists, and isolate the rightists.

"Comrade Tai Lai, the views of the Central Committee of the Comintern and the CPSU are the same as those of Comrade Qu Ming, that the Kuomintang is now deliberately abandoning northern China in favor of running southern China with all its might. Comrade Trotsky believed that the Kuomintang was probably content to claim hegemony in southern China out of fear of fighting the powerful northern warlords and of the intervention of imperialism. "Borodin was instructed to expand this trend of thought in the Kuomintang as much as possible, so that they would not go north and leave the vast space of the north to the GCD.

"Then should we unite the left wing of the Kuomintang against this right-leaning capitulationism?" Chang Tailei remembered the instructions of the Central Committee and believed that the left wing of the Kuomintang should be united against this kind of thinking.

"Why are we going to fight them?" Borodin stared at Zhang Tailei, saw his puzzled expression, shook his head slightly and explained: "It is precisely because of the right-leaning capitulationism of the Kuomintang that we GCD people have been given the opportunity to develop and grow, otherwise they would have let GCD lead the Northwest Military and Political Commission?" Will you hand over northern Shaanxi to us as a base? Will we contact the Shanxi warlords and purchase arms from them? ”

Zhang Tailei suddenly realized that he understood the intention of the Comintern and the CPSU, and it turned out that the Comintern and the CPSU were deliberately conniving at the right-leaning capitulationism of the Kuomintang, and the purpose was to create space and opportunities for the development of the GCD. Zhang Tailei breathed a sigh of relief. After all, China's political center is in the north, and as long as the north falls into our hands, the Kuomintang will not be our opponent in the end, even if it unifies the south."

In another compartment of the train, three women are playing a play. It should be said that it was a very special quarrel, mainly because two women were jealous, and another woman was working as a translator. I have to use a translator for a quarrel! What a luxury.

"You vixen!" Ma Jiaoli's quarreling voice is also soft and glutinous. She originally didn't care about Luo Yaoguo's three wives and four concubines, but it was different for Natalie, who was plumper, more flirtatious, and more Yanmar than herself. "Just use those two lumps of meat to seduce our family Yaoguo! What a shame! ”

After Ma Jiali finished scolding, she scolded Yang Liyan Nunu and motioned for her to hurry up and translate.

"Uh, you are like an elf fairy with a surname, with charming measurements, especially your proud twin peaks, which makes General Luo crazy with fascination, really, I really don't need to see your angelic face, the general will always love you." Yang Liyan's translation is basically in line with Ma Jiaoli's meaning, right?

"Thank you." Natalie's angelic face has a charming smile, and although she is often complimented by others, good words are always pleasant. "Madam, you are also a rare beauty, if a man has a wife like you, he will never go outside to mess with flowers and grass again, but our husband, he has extraordinary talents, and he also has an extraordinary **, so, I think we can live in peace and share the same man, right?"

"Ah, so you know Chinese?" Yang Liyan asked stupidly.
