Chapter 393: Black River (2)
"Lao Yang, have the troops of the First Military Region arrived at the designated place?"
"Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Zhang of the First Military Region has led the troops of the three regiments of the First Military Region into the area of the Mountain God Mansion in the territory of Heihe, waiting for the order of the general attack."
"Where are the members of Comrade Shiquan's Fourth Division now, and have they arrived at the designated position?"
"Commander-in-chief, the commander of the Fourth Division, Wang is rushing to the designated place with the troops, and the troops will arrive at the location in half an hour after the call was returned just now."
"Hmmm! Okay, send a telegram to Deputy Commander Zhang, their task is to lead the troops to Aihui County at eight o'clock tomorrow, and when the time comes, our comrades will open the city gate and let them in, and after occupying Aihui County, immediately cut off the power supply to the Japanese barracks such as Xigangzi, Shanshenfu, Shenwutun, and Najinkouzi and the power supply for the construction of fortresses, and protect the important facilities in the city from being destroyed by arson by the Japanese army. ”
"Okay." Cui Shiquan nodded, walked out, and went to the communication office next to him to send a report to the First Military Region.
"Qingshan arranged the guards, and the others seized the time to rest, and at four o'clock in the morning they were ready to assemble and order to prepare for the general attack."
"Yes."
"Old Yang, go back and rest!"
"Lao Meng, don't worry, this time we are going all out, I don't believe that we can't take this Heihe Province." Yang Jingyu walked out after speaking.
Watching everyone leave, Meng Qingshan sat alone on the chair and looked at the stars in the sky, Meng Qingshan He knew that the Anti-Japanese Federation should develop and grow at the fastest speed, otherwise he would have to fight with the Japanese army for a few years, and he would have to wait for the million troops in Jiangbei to cross the river to help, then he would have come in vain, although since he came here, he should have retreated to the Soviet Union. Now it has formed a considerable force, killing several Japanese generals one after another. It also saved the lives of thousands of Anti-United Nations soldiers and prevented them from sacrificing. Meng Qingshan did not come in vain for this alone, but he was not satisfied, he wanted to make his country stronger, rather than taking decades of development to catch up with other countries, so Meng Qingshan had to keep the heavy industry base of the three eastern provinces intact and not let them be destroyed.
If you don't know the future, you must be ecstatic when you hear that there are a million troops to support the war of resistance, but Meng Qingshan, who came from the future, knows that these million troops are like locusts when they come here. Originally, although the industrial base of Northeast China was not as good as that of the United States and Germany, it was not much worse than them.
After the establishment of Manchukuo, it became one of the fastest-growing countries in Asia and the world at that time. In 1945, Manchukuo's industrial scale surpassed that of Japan and ranked first in Asia.
During the period of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, he was committed to the industrialization of Northeast China. Manchukuo, on the other hand, established a relatively complete and advanced industrial system in Asia at that time. It includes industrial sectors such as railway transportation, aviation, navigation, steel, coal, locomotives, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, and military industry. It was the largest local industrial complex in China at that time until the Cultural Revolution. The Fengman Power Station in Manchukuo was the largest hydroelectric power station in Asia at the time, with a power generation capacity of 2.2 billion kWh in 1943. Manchukuo's industrial output was 807 million yuan in 1936 and 2.647 billion yuan in 1940, and the productivity index increased by more than 60 percent. A relatively complete industrial system has been formed, including metallurgy, mining, aircraft, locomotive and automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, textiles, transportation, and energy. Manchukuo was once the most developed and wealthy country in Asia, and its manufacturing industry once surpassed that of Japan.
Manchukuo was the fourth largest industrial body in the world at that time. In 1945, the scale of industry surpassed that of Japan and became the largest industrial body in Asia. The railway from Shenyang to Dalian is lined with factory chimneys on both sides, and the city is connected into a world-famous "long industrial zone". Shenyang is known as the "Ruhr of the East". In 1945, when Manchukuo was destroyed and China recovered Northeast China, Northeast China accounted for 85% of China's total industrial output. Taiwan accounts for 10 percent, while the rest of China accounts for only 5 percent, and is mainly concentrated in a few areas such as Shanghai. Most of China did not have a modern industry at all.
Xinjing (Changchun), the capital of Manchukuo, was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in Asia at the time, until 1942. Changchun occupies 2,272 square meters of green space per capita, more than 1 times Washington, is 5 times the per capita green space area of Japan's big cities, Xinjing was known as "the most beautiful capital in the world" and "Hundred Flowers Spring City" in the world at that time, after the death of Manchukuo, China took over and changed the new Beijing to change the Hundred Flowers Spring City Xinjing renamed Changchun.
Xinjing (Changchun), the capital of Manchukuo, is the first city in Asia to fully popularize flush toilets and the first city in Asia to fully popularize piped gas. Changchun was the first city in China to plan a subway, and since 1938, 120 kilometers of subway and tram roads around the city have been planned in Changchun, as well as a ring expressway. The main street lighting and telecommunications lines are underground, and it is the first city in Asia to have mainline mains on the main road.
Manchukuo railway line in Asia density first, in 1945 the total length of the Manchukuo railway reached 12,479 kilometers, and China (excluding the Northeast) in 1949 the total mileage of the railway was only 2,000 kilometers, in 1934 the world's most advanced train "Asia" began to operate, at that time the car had a complete air conditioning system for heating and cooling rooms, the speed of "Asia" reached 120 kilometers / h, far ahead of all the trains in the world at that time, by the mid-1930s, The Manchurian Railway has started to use the IBM computer (mechanical) system to sell tickets.
In 1943, the total length of highways in Northeast China was nearly 60,000 kilometers, and in 1949, the total length of highways in China including Northeast China was only 80,900 kilometers.
In 1932, the total mileage of Northeast Airlines was 15,000 kilometers, while the total mileage of China's civil aviation lines in 1950 was only 11,400 kilometers.
In 1945, Manchukuo accounted for 49.4% of Asia's coal production, 87.7% of Asia's pig iron production, 93% of Asia's steel production, 93.3% of Asia's power generation, 69% of Asia's sulfuric acid production, 60% of Asia's soda ash production, 66% of Asia's cement production, and 95% of Asia's machinery industry output.
However, after the plundering of the million army like locusts, the entire Northeast region has returned to a newly developed state, and this group of soldiers and ruffians have no discipline as a soldier at all, and they are raped and plundered everywhere, and this group of bold soldiers actually shot and killed several senior officers of our party, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Meng Qingshan knew that this is the truth that a weak country has no diplomacy, only its own hardness is the true meaning, and only the rapid development of industry can catch up with the footsteps of the Japanese army. For this reason, the Anti-Union needed a stable rear, so Meng Qingshan chose Heihe.
Heihe City is located in the northwest of Heilongjiang Province, at the northern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, is one of the 13 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province, known as the "Pearl of the North", "Window of Eurasia", with the center of the main channel of Heilongjiang River as the boundary, and the third largest city in the Russian Far East, the capital of the Amur Region, Blagoveshchensk City across the river, the nearest distance of 750 meters, is the fusion point of Eastern and Western cultures.
As the first socialist country, the Soviet Union was discriminated against and besieged by the Western powers and the economic blockade, in order to survive in order to defeat the imperialist threat of war, he put the main forces into heavy industry and military industry, just the TB-3 heavy bomber we saw he produced 800, tens of thousands of other aircraft, and less than a few hundred tank devils, while the big brother had tens of thousands, and the strength was indeed very strong.
However, the state's resources, funds, and energy are limited, and if we pursue industrial and military modernization too much, we will inevitably despise or ignore the development of agriculture, handicrafts, and products for the people's livelihood, resulting in a shortage of food, a shortage of non-staple foodstuffs, and a scarcity of daily necessities for the common people.
In addition, most of its territory is located at high latitudes, that is, further north of China, where the weather is cold, plant growth is affected, and wheat and potato harvests often fail, where there are conditions for the development of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery and other side industries. Therefore, successive Russian tsars continued to invade the south in the hope of finding a stable granary, and they had planned to occupy India, occupy the Balkans, and occupy Northeast China and Xinjiang.
