Chapter 440: The Pain of Technology

At that time, Thirty-two Niang almost grabbed a small takeaway and gave Eisenhower a ruthless blow, if it weren't for the army to stop Eisenhower from entering the campus, he would have to be transferred to the infirmary.

After explaining, Eisenhower embarrassedly apologized to Thirty-two Niang. At this point, Thirty-two Niang can only cry and laugh, what can he say?! His appearance is so deceptive, and sometimes even the mother-in-law in his family is dissatisfied and mutters: Why are you more beautiful than me......

Thirty-two Niang is very helpless, this appearance is natural. Do you want to make a few cuts in your face?!

After the dull lectures were over, the military training officially began. The old birds who were selected from the First Army looked at these students in military uniforms, and they couldn't help but show a malicious smile on their faces.

When they were recruits, they were not less trained! Now I finally have the opportunity to repeat this scene to others, but unfortunately these students don't know what awaits them. One by one, they were wearing Wehrmacht uniforms and were excited!

Thirty-two Niang looked at these students who were still excited with pity on the high platform, and sighed in her heart: It's good to be young! That appearance of not knowing life and death is quite the style of those cubs back then!

Since that day, the students of various colleges and universities have been tragically rectified!

"Messy!! What do you call taking sides?! Ducks running away, right?! Line! Be on par!! A soldier of the First Army shouted angrily at these students: "Army! What is the army?! Stand like a pine, sit like a clock! I didn't tell you to skim your legs and bend over!! Stand up straight!! ”

This is the campus of the University of Tokyo, and the students of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Tokyo are trained. They had bitter faces, scolded by their own instructors and did not dare to speak up. Constantly correcting his posture.

And for no other reason why they didn't dare to refute it, this instructor came to teach them with four military medals pinned to his chest! The instructor explained to them that the first one was the Harbin Battle Medal! Because he participated in the Harbin campaign against the Soviet Union that year!

And the second is a second-class meritorious military medal, because he blew up two Soviet tanks on the blocking position in the Battle of Harbin! Awarded for this! The third is a second-class meritorious military merit medal! In the Battle of the Mountains, he blew up a bunker and was the first to rush to the city. Awarded for this!

The last one is the 918 Anti-Japanese Medal! Commendation for his participation in the 918 war against Japan!

Look at those shiny military medals and medals. Listen to your instructor tell stories from various battlefields. These students are naturally happy and convinced! Therefore, even if they are scolded, they do not dare to squeak.

Moreover, this second lieutenant instructor called Wei Xiuwei did not tell them to do things and hide by themselves. Instead, they did it with them, a five-kilometer cross-country in the morning, a queue training in the scorching sun after returning, and an emergency assembly march in the evening...... Wait a minute. Wei Xiuwei has never been specialized, he always wears and does the same as them!

It's the same when eating, and no one has any specialization. Everyone ate the same meal in the big canteen, and both the instructors and the trainees ate the meals made by the army's cooking class in the canteen.

This is also Tu Qianjun's arrangement, since it is an experience of the military camp, then experience the whole process! As a result, cooking classes were stationed in various academies, and the cost of food during military training was borne by the Wehrmacht.

These students finally got a taste of the Wehrmacht's training. The instructors trained the students according to the training method of the recruits, and all of them were not bad at all.

Military physical boxing, shooting events, housekeeping requirements...... And so on, the content of these recruit training is not less. these students who want to die, of course! It is still necessary to talk heart-to-heart after training, and basically all the officers who came here this time were officers from the grassroots level of the First Army. Therefore, telling battle stories, training hard, and so on naturally attracted these students in the ivory tower.

While the students of the various colleges were being trained, the victims of the disaster, with the assistance of the first, second, third, and third corps of the National Defense Force, marched towards the various stations planned for them by the provincial governments of the three eastern provinces.

Northeast China has the Northeast Plain, one of the world's three major black soil belts, and is the most important commercial grain production base of the country in later generations. Among them, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces have developed about 300 million mu of cultivated land. In later generations, it accounted for 16% of the total arable land in the country!

In later generations, the total population of the three eastern provinces has exceeded 100 million! Therefore, it is not difficult to swallow the millions of victims who have come to us if it is done properly.

As planned. Most of the victims were assigned to the newly planned villages. The victims who had been pouring in from all over the country were scattered and arranged to enter the newly formed villages on a household-by-household basis.

Some of the people who were bachelors or who had lost their families were resettled in villages where all of them were singles. In these new villages, everyone is registered by name and is run in the same way as the army.

Every day, in addition to clearing wasteland, cultivating and building houses, literacy and a certain amount of military training are organized. Since they didn't have a harvest now, everyone ate the meals of the cooking class with the village garrison in the makeshift canteen.

Most of the orphans were enrolled in the Wehrmacht's primary school for orphans, where they were taught to be militarized. At the same time, their studies are also supervised by instructors stationed within the Defence Force.

In their spare time, they make some cigarettes and sell them by the provincial government. A portion of the profits from the sale will be saved for them to distribute when they are independent. Part of it is used as a fund. It is used to help orphans who are coming one after another.

With the construction of various villages, the victims who were originally lifeless finally had a little bit of vitality. Some of them volunteered to tell the Wehrmacht that they were literate, perhaps arithmetic, etc.

And these people with certain skills are assigned to do other jobs in the village. For example, arithmetic is arranged to teach the villagers to learn basic arithmetic, and by the way, they are responsible for the village's finances.

After a certain amount of running-in, the IDF began to ask the villagers themselves to nominate candidates who they thought could be the village chief. Then the election will be held by voting for soybeans. After all, the Wehrmacht could not have managed these villagers all the time, and they still needed to train and travel to various places.

According to the plan of Yan Zhengqing and Yuan Jinkai, the rulers of the three eastern provinces. The newly built villages maintain a population of more than 100 and less than 150 people per village. Strong laborers and young women should account for a large proportion.

Villages composed of families are not counted among them, and the elderly will be matched according to the number of strong laborers.

Among the victims, some young people who had worked in machinery were recruited by the arsenal of the three provinces and the newly established agricultural machinery factory, while the provincial government of the three provinces was responsible for funding them to complete their studies in various colleges after going through a certain assessment.

The other group of single men were assigned to work at ports or railway sites. The rest is owned by the engineering team that repaired the embankment.

Five million sounds like a lot. But when I actually allocated it, I found that it was really not too much. In this era, when the three eastern provinces were still sparsely populated, many places were not reclaimed.

And these victims who escaped death learned that the reclaimed land would be allocated to them for planting, and the first year was completely rent-free, and the second year was only 5% of the grain, and all the victims immediately became active!

It's only half a month. Thousands of good lands were reclaimed! Moreover, with the gradual arrival of agricultural tools such as ploughing cattle and foreign ploughs supported by the governments of the three eastern provinces, the intensity of reclamation is also constantly strengthened!

At this time, the students who had completed the military training also came to the newly built villages in various places with the officials who had been transferred to the army and began to work. Professors from Northeast Agricultural University also went to various villages to conduct field trips and planting guidance.

The great strides in the development of Manchurian agriculture have also attracted the attention of Britain and the United States and other countries, and American businessmen have always been extremely sensitive to things that are beneficial! They timely proposed to the governments of the three eastern provinces that they could jointly build a fertilizer plant in Manchuria, and they naturally welcomed such a good thing.

In fact, in December 1930, when the Nanjing government merged the two ministries of industry and commerce, agriculture and mining into the Ministry of Industry, the so-called Ten Industrial Plans were formulated. One of them was to set up a sulfuric acid plant, and in 1931, the China Nitrogen Company was established to be responsible for the preparation.

When the news broke, the British company Bnemen and the German company Irkey Pigment Industries expressed their willingness to jointly set up an ammonium sulfate plant with China. But in the negotiations, they first said that China does not have to set up factories; He then proposed that if the "cooperative factory" is established, the Chinese government will not be allowed to open new ammonium sulfate plants with other companies in the eight provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Sichuan within 12 years. It also insisted that the ammonium sulfate products of China Nitrogen Company were jointly underwritten by the British and German companies.

Under such conditions, it would be hellish to be able to negotiate. The Americans, on the other hand, are much smarter and do not ask for anything about underwriting or anything like that. Not to mention any harsh conditions. It's all about providing technical support and equipment, and the profits are evenly divided.

This made the British unable to sit still, and there are hardly any fertilizer factories in the current Republic of China. And all the fertilizers sold are imported. The lion's share is the British company Bnementen. It is also this company that he almost expects China to never produce its own fertilizers! so that he can always earn high profits.

The U.S. approach has poked at their pain points all at once! The Bneimen Company hurriedly sent personnel to Manchuria to try to discuss cooperation with the provincial governments of the three eastern provinces. At the same time, there was also the German company Ichi Pigment Industries.

However, at this time, another industrialist in China who had personally led a team to inspect Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Ma'anshan, and Shanghai to prepare for the construction of fertilizer factories was also on his way to the three eastern provinces.

In the provincial government office of the three eastern provinces, Nicoson, the general manager of the British Bnemen Company, smiled and whispered to Yan Zhengqing, the current governor of the three eastern provinces: "Mr. Zhichang has traveled to study in other countries, and he should know that the fertilizer technology of our Bnemen company is in a leading position in the world. And our company is also willing to assist the three eastern provinces to set up their own fertilizer factories......"

Yan Zhengqing seemed to be listening to Nicholson's statement with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything about it. But in his heart, Yan Zhengqing gritted his teeth with hatred for this British mongrel!

What conditions did Nicholson offer?! The bastard put forward a condition that the contract stipulate that they should directly send people to operate the key production processes. No apprenticeship, no technical imparting; For the sale of products in China, they may specify the market, and shall not sell in areas other than the regulations......

If Yan Zhengqing had almost cultivated himself, he would have been able to scold him on the spot! What the hell is this called cooperation?! You might as well just say that the three eastern provinces of China are cheap factories!

"As you should know, we have a certain influence in the business community and in parliament. If we both cooperate. Then it's a great thing for both of us......"

Nicoson said, and couldn't help but secretly observe Yan Zhengqing's face. A large part of the reason why he was able to say this was because he believed that the Tiger of the Far East, no matter how strong it was, needed to take care of the parliament of the British Empire, right?!

As the permanent general manager of the Far East, Nicoson had seen too many officials who would soften when it came to Parliament. For Nicholson, this trick is almost tried-and-true!

But what made him strange was that the gentleman on the other side still seemed to be plain, but in fact smiled coldly, and did not express his opinion at all. This made Nicoson's mind a little uncertain.

After chatting for a while, Nicolson never found out the bottom of Yan Zhengqing. So I had no choice but to leave.

Looking at Nicoson's back, a cold light flashed in Yan Zhengqing's eyes! Dog mongrel, do you still think that our Wehrmacht was the Qing government of the year?! Just say two words and you're going to scare me?! Fuck off!

Nikoson didn't know what price he would pay for his arrogance. In his view, the three eastern provinces, which do not have much chemical base, basically have no way to produce fertilizers independently. Although it is said that they discussed with the Americans about the introduction of fertilizer, it seemed to Nicolson to be almost a fantasy!

Each fertilizer plant has its own process, and basically this is a profiteering industry, and no one wants to give away their technology to others. In fact, the United States is not as harsh as the conditions they put forward by the Nicosons.

The Americans demanded that they have a 40 percent stake in the factory. And only allowed to purchase equipment with them, hire workers. Although they also have apprentices, they are also required to prevent the three eastern provinces from building other fertilizer plants independently within ten years. To build, you must cooperate with them to build......

This is, in effect, a ten-year monopoly.

However, Americans are not greedy compared to Nicoson's conditions.
