- Remember!

"So, all the needs on the map are real?"

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Fangzhen and Cai Jimin were taken into the study by Yang Qiu, and Fang Rui immediately explained the map in detail - / Since Yue Peng went to the Western Front, Cai Jimin, the top executive of the nine northeastern provinces, has been under great pressure, and his own northeast reform and development, the North Korean issue have not been solved, and now he has begun to march north, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for him. Especially at this moment, when I heard that Yang Qiu took the initiative to give resources to Japan, he almost jumped up directly.

Fang Rui replied expressionlessly: "There are a large number of documents on the investigation of Siberian resources in Yekaterinburg and Irkutsk, and this map is drawn by us after synthesizing these documents, except for the Amur River Basin, which has been modified, everything else is real!" ”

Jiang Fangzhen was also slightly shocked, lit a cigarette and looked at Yang Qiu's gaze with both admiration and worry. It is heart-wrenching that 100 million tons of coke, 200 million tons of iron and Sakhalin oil were given to Japan in this way, and although the environment in these areas is difficult, knowing the location and extracting it are two different things, but with the current thirst for resources in Japan, it is certain that they will mobilize a large number of Korean laborers to meet the needs in these areas. With these things, within two or three years, Japan will be able to come out of the period of recovery from the Sino-Japanese war, and it may even be possible to further strengthen its navy, which already has obvious advantages. So ordinary people must think that Yang Qiu is crazy, but he knows very well that these needs are poisonous fruits!

Japan had wanted to go north, but now that they have sent this map to them, as long as they send someone to investigate whether there is really a need to hide it, they will definitely go all out if it is true, and then it will inevitably clash with the United States, which is jealous of the region. In the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but the naval strength was not damaged. As long as the Anglo-Japanese alliance exists, the Japanese Navy will always be a big mountain in Northeast Asia and even in the Southwest Pacific, and even the United States will not be able to break it in the short term. As long as the Republic of China always maintains a weak position in the struggle for sea power, then the United States, which wants to gain sea power in the Pacific, must first deal with Japan. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be fascinated, spit out white smoke and said: "If the poor party can fight for control of the Russian regime, Britain and France will inevitably be dragged down by them in the next few years." The confrontation between the United States and Japan in the Pacific Ocean hehe, we finally have a long period of interference-free period, that is. He glanced at Cai Jimin, who was full of worry, and said with a smile: "Xiangpu may not even have time to make love with his wife." ”

"You Jiang Baili. It is a curse to let it out. Cai Jimin was amused by him and laughed and scolded. In fact, he also faintly felt Yang Qiu's thoughts, but he was not as thorough as Jiang Fangzhen, and now it was completely clear after his explanation, but there was one thing he was not at ease: "Japan's northward advance will definitely start a conflict with the United States, and it is imperative to strengthen the navy, and the threat to China's coastal areas will also increase a lot!" And the poor party needs to find an ally in the event that we break through our blockade. Will these two come together in the future? ”

An alliance between the USSR and Japan? This reverie made Yang Qiudu tremble, is it possible? He shook his head and put the thought aside for the time being, because there was so much to do in the next five years.

After Japan's northward expansion, the contradictions between the United States and Japan in the Northeast Pacific Sea will inevitably reopen, and the Republic of China is currently unable to participate in this game in terms of national strength or manufacturing capacity. There is no big problem in the north, both factions in Russia are accumulating strength, as long as they wait for the signing of the Brest Treaty, it will definitely be a big fight, and Britain and France also need to borrow themselves after the Ural Mountains are cut off. As long as he persists until Kolchak returns, the task of handing over the Urals to him in its entirety is over. As for the problems of the Mongol rebels and the partisans of the poor party in the Siberian region, it is not very big, and it is not possible to open the Urals for a day. The poor party forces in the whole of Siberia will not be able to become a climate, and when they open the Urals, they will be able to complete the three major fortresses and railways in the northwest without fearing anything. Therefore, Jiang Fangzhen is right, at least the next five years will be the time when the external pressure of the Republic of China is the least, so these five years are extremely critical, and we must use these five years to lay the foundation for socialization reform.

How much can be done in five years! The idea of setting the outside first and then working on the inside was finally realized, and if it was done well, there was not much external pressure on the Republic of China before 1925. So his thoughts gradually turned to the construction of Northeast China. asked, "Xiangpu, how are things going in the Northeast?" ”

Immigration, pioneering, and industrial development in Northeast China were the three most important major events after the military administration. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's closed policies led to the sparse population of the nine northeastern provinces, and even the implementation of the Huimin Migration Policy in recent years has not improved much. Cai Jimin scooped out the prepared documents and said: "This is the Northeast Census report at the end of last year. By the end of last year, the population of the nine northeastern provinces had increased from 18 million in 1911 to 22 million, of which 2.5 million were Manchus, Koreans, Mongols and Russians, and the rest were Han Chinese. He mainly lives in Liaodong Peninsula, Fengtian, Changchun, Jilin, Harbin, Mudanjiang, Jiamusi and other places. The vast majority of the population were ordinary peasants. There are 350,000 registered workers, of which 300,000 are low-end and handicraft workers. Although heavy industry workers have been trained in Fengtian and Changchun, and a number of them have been trained through Hanyang, even if Harbin is added, there are only more than 50,000. Fengtian and Changchun are two heavy industrial zones selected by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to require at least 30,000 workers for the two steel mills alone, and shipbuilding in Dalian is also developing. Half of the machinery and equipment shipped back from Russia this time will remain in the Northeast to form two major industrial groups. According to estimates, in three years, the two major industrial groups in Northeast China will have a total of 110 factories in armaments, shipbuilding, trucks, aircraft, trains, chemicals, and oil refining, and about 500,000 workers will be needed to support them! At present, there are 6 universities in 9 provinces in Northeast China, 37 other technical schools, plus the factory's own training, there will be a shortage of more than 200,000 in three years! And that's not even counting the needs of private factories. ”

Skilled workers are the most important link in industrial construction, if it were not for the serious shortage of workers, the steel mills in Changchun and Anshan would not be struggling to start construction at the same time, and the steel output of the Republic of China would not progress so slowly, so when Yang Qiu heard this, he had the urge to immediately recall the hundreds of thousands of workers who went to France.

Cai Jimin continued: "The main reason for the slow cultivation is education, the Northeast is not richer than the Jiangnan area, in the early years, the bandits were serious, the people were suffering, the literacy rate was far worse than the rich areas in Guannai, and the largest educated people were Russia, North Korea and Manchus!" Although free education has also begun to be implemented in Taiping in recent years, most of them are currently primary and secondary school children, and few have actually completed their studies and entered technical schools and universities. After Minister Zhang Taiyan came to inspect the education situation last time, he said that if the education level and workers in Northeast China want to make a breakthrough, they must at least wait for this group of primary and secondary school students to grow up. It's about ten years. Although the foundation of education is poor, the trend of social reform is improving. In the three years since we left the country, we have smashed a total of 237 large bandits, and more than 2,000 small mountain bandits and horse gangs have been arrested or disbanded, and some of them have been sent to labor camps to reclaim land and open up wasteland. A total of 350,000 guns of various types were confiscated. 120 million rounds of ammunition. After the Russian forces are cleaned up this time, I am afraid that the most unpeaceful ones are the Koreans, but they now have a request for us, and they are mainly distributed in the Changbai Mountains and Tonghua areas, and the National Guard and garrisons have already opened up special residential areas for them, and they are also preparing to adopt an entry and exit registration system from this year, and they will all be sent back when North Korea is stable in the future.

We are also strengthening the town development that you have promoted. By the end of last year, there were 172 new market towns in the nine provinces, mainly newly added after immigrants to Tuntian. At present, there are a total of 870 tractors of various types, thousands of pumping machines and small generators in Northeast China, most of which are concentrated in 80 state-owned farms. With the help of tractors, state farms already produced 20 percent of their total grain output last year. The NDRC and we aim to increase the number of tractors to more than 10,000 within five years, both imported and self-built. The number of farms increased to 350, and the output should account for more than 6 percent.

Power and roads are the other two largest projects, with coal power plants in Changchun, Fengtian and Harbin already built. We have already selected six hydroelectric power plants on the Songhua River, Nenjiang River, Liao River, and Heilongjiang River, and two sites on the Tumen River and the Yayu River, but whether or not to start construction at these two sites will not be decided until the situation in North Korea is too peaceful. Hydropower plant funding is not a problem, the problem is that water conservancy construction talents, as well as cement and steel materials, cannot keep up. The Changchang Railway (South Manchurian Line, Changchun to Dalian), the Fengxin Railway (Fengtian to Sinuiju, North Korea) track system transformation has been completed, the transformation of the Middle East Railway will start next month, the roadbed of the Changchun to North Korea Maoshan Railway has been repaired to Yanji, but the rails of the steel mill are supporting the Baoku Railway, when I sent a telegram to Cai Gong, he said that he would not be able to give it to me until at least the American rail arrived in June. ”

After the military administration, the Northeast finally revealed a new atmosphere. Cai Jimin did work hard, but the weaknesses of human resources and the country's poor overall strength were also exposed in this construction. It's good to be able to do this because of the lack of design talent, the poor level of education compared to Kannai, the lack of steel and cement production for various reasons, and the fierce struggle at the forefront of geopolitics. In terms of industry, Yang Qiu is not very worried, and the industrial bases in Hanyang, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Jiangnan and Mawei are all training workers and reserving talents twice as much as the actual needs. When all the Russian equipment is shipped back, it will immediately support Baotou, Northeast China, and even Yunnan to build the Southwest Shuicheng Iron and Steel Plant that it has been trying to build. The level of education in the mainland is also much better, more than 10,000 British and French teachers of all kinds stipulated in the "Plum Blossom Agreement" are also in place, technical schools are emerging in an endless stream, all that is needed is time, not to mention that they still have hundreds of thousands of workers who will be able to return to Europe in two years, and many of them have become the backbone of British and French factories.

On the contrary, it was immigration that made him very depressed. 18 million to 22 million, only 4 million in 3 years, many of them are immigrants brought in from the mainland, and there are hundreds of thousands of military families, which means that the government actually only immigrates 1 million a year, which is too little! According to his original idea, before 1925, at least 30 million people should be emigrated from the nine northeastern provinces, and 20 million from the three northwestern provinces of Xinjiang and the northwest.

Yang Qiu remembered Lincoln's "Homestead Law" that had implemented and laid the foundation for the development of the western United States, and asked: "Xiangpu, you said that if we sell land directly in the market, how many people can be absorbed at 10 yuan and 20 acres of land per household?" ”

Cai Jimin thought about it and said: "If this is the case, it can quickly absorb a lot of immigrants, but land sales are easy to be used for speculation, and the pros and cons are very great." ”

Jiang Fangzhen had heard of the U.S. Homestead Law, and somewhat understood what Yang Qiu meant, and asked, "Does the vice president want to learn Abraham Lincoln's U.S. Homestead Law?" ”

Yang Qiu nodded: "The migration from the northeast and northwest is urgent, although we have established many state-run farms and gradually begun to learn mechanized farming, but the human resources in both places are seriously insufficient. The Northeast can barely be reluctant, but the population of the Han nationality in the Northwest is less than 5 million, which is really not reassuring. Therefore, I want to learn the homestead land method, which is calculated at 10 yuan per household for 20 mu of land, and each household is not allowed to buy more than 100 mu at most, and the land must be planted for five years before it can be owned by the buyer. And it is necessary to stipulate that the land acquired through this bill shall not be bought and sold for 20 years! In 20 years, basically a generation can grow up. Once the human resources are abundant, the border defense between the two places can be solved, and the increase in the Han population can also dilute the proportion of minority tribes, which can stabilize these areas. ”

After listening to the explanation, both of them felt that it could be implemented, after all, the domestic land reform was only carried out in Henan, Shaanxi and other places, and there were many landless people in the rest of the provinces, and this policy would be very attractive to them, but in terms of details, both of them said that they must be detailed, and they must put an end to speculation in land sales to avoid the phenomenon of large amounts of hoarding. With their detailed analysis, Yang Qiu felt that it was necessary to return to Nanjing as soon as possible and start working on the domestic socialization reform. In addition to immigration, the population policy and the household registration policy must also be scooped out as soon as possible, 450 million is not too much pressure in the era of low medical standards, but as the pressure on medical care and national life becomes easier, the population outbreak will definitely come, and these must set the tone within five years, and the Spanish flu is also coming, and the precautionary measures of the troops and Chinese workers on the Western Front must be deployed in advance. So after the two left, he reorganized his thinking on immigration and population policy. When he raised his head, he found that it was already dawn outside, so he got up and walked to the window and stretched, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the Russian nameplate on the door of the villa, which had not been erased, and suddenly remembered the thought of being suppressed last night.

Japan and the Poor Party join forces? Is it possible?

If Japan's northward expansion ultimately fails, will it lead to a major explosion of domestic problems? The poor party needs to break through the encirclement of the capitalist world, and when China cannot break through, will it develop towards Japan and Korea? In addition, as long as he cannot break through the strategic node of Irkutsk, it is equivalent to losing control of Eastern Siberia, and after Stalin comes to power, he will inevitably put a million troops in Central Asia and Siberia to contain himself, so he will certainly not be able to continue to maintain a huge military force against Germany. You know, Poland in a parallel world almost brought these two dictators under the banner of socialism together!

Yang Qiu shuddered suddenly! Suddenly, he found that because of his appearance, the history and politics he knew were completely unfamiliar, and the world was moving towards an unpredictable era...... (To be continued.)
