Haiphong can be directly connected to the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan through the railway, and the three southwestern provinces are the most concentrated areas of China's heavy industry, and the materials needed are very huge, and Haiphong can just become an effective supplementary channel.

In addition, Haiphong was able to serve as an entrepot trade center, directly connecting Guangzhou and Shanghai, and since the port fell into Chinese hands, the status of Hong Kong as a free port has plummeted, and the rapid outflow of population has made the British very troubled.

Originally, when China was still under the control of the great powers, because the tariffs did not have the right to make their own decisions, the coastal port areas were completely like free trade zones, and they were a paradise for the great powers to pan for gold.

In recent years, Hong Kong has also been a time of rapid development, although Hong Kong and Britain shamelessly attribute the credit to themselves, it is they who have brought prosperity, but as long as they are not fools, they will not be deceived by their false propaganda, and the confrontation between Hong Kong and the colonial government is still very serious.

In particular, after the problem of Guangzhou Bay is resolved, Hong Kong is left in the southern part of China, and China has not yet determined the time for the final attack on Hong Kong, but it has begun to affect Hong Kong in an all-round way, and the motherland has enough job opportunities and better wages, so why suffer under the banner of rice, or go to the embrace of the five-color flag.

The rate of loss of workers in Hong Kong is getting faster and faster, although China has not taken coercive measures, but the British authorities in Hong Kong also feel that it is difficult to maintain, they occupy this precious port, of course, there are military and political considerations, but more hope to use here to open the Chinese market, get enough benefits, but unfortunately this goal has gradually drifted away, Southeast Asian goods can go to Haiphong port. And the Chinese businessmen consciously boycotted the British. The loss of workers made the free port unfree in an instant.

"President, Guangzhou Bay has been taken back, do you want to beat the rabbit and take Hong Kong back, so that the mainland side will have all the sovereignty in its hands, but it is a great achievement. The people of China are looking forward to this day! ”

"Mr. Huizi, Britain and France are different after all, Britain still has a huge fleet, and if necessary, it can use its fleet to block the sea transportation line, and here in Hong Kong, Britain may have no way to take us, but they can completely hold Singapore. Then control the South China Sea, it will be very troublesome to harass our trade routes, and we will have to wait until the navy is mature before we can call Britain, otherwise I will not worry! ”

Qiao Yu is not wrong at all, France's navy is now in serious decline, and it is already a teammate with Italy, how much spare strength can it send a fleet to the Far East. Therefore, China can rest assured and bold to attack the French. Even if they dared to send the navy, Qiao Yu was sure that he would defeat the French with the Beginning and a powerful submarine force. But in the face of Britain, there is no such confidence.

After all, the background of the British Empire is there, and there are too many unexpected factors in the current naval battle, to a large extent, it depends on luck, just like the Battle of Midway in World War II, it must be done with the favor of God, so Qiao Yu prefers to wait until everything is ready before taking action.

When the family foundation is thick, even if China loses once or twice, it can still win the final victory, but now the family foundation is too thin, and losing once will hurt the muscles and bones, China does not have to be so crazy with Japan to gamble on the national fortune.

"The president thinks about everything, and it should be!" Yang Du saw that Qiao Yu was not carried away by the victory, he still seemed very cautious, and his heart was still a lot more relaxed, Qiao Yu may not be able to do other things, but he is never confused in the overall situation, and being sober-minded is the most important advantage of a superior person, but China's national strength has also embarked on the track of rapid improvement, even if it is not taken back now, it is only three or five years in the evening.

He also said: "President, the Northeast immigration work has achieved initial results, about 30 million people have been relocated to the fertile black soil, this is the unique immigration work in human history, this year's grain production in the three eastern provinces has accounted for more than 10% of the country, of which the output of soybeans is as high as more than 90 percent, and there is a huge potential to increase production, if you can immigrate 20 million, so that the population of the Northeast reaches 50 million, you can also develop the Outer Northeast, It is conservatively estimated that the grain output of the Northeast can reach more than one-third of the country, and this black land is too precious! ”

Yang Du said with great emotion, everyone knows that the black soil is fertile, but I didn't expect it to be able to reach this extent, and if it continues to develop according to this trend, it is definitely the largest granary in China.

Now Beijing and Tianjin, including Shanghai, Sichuan and other places on the market have appeared mellow taste, full of aroma of Northeast rice, in addition to grain, the Northeast soybean is beyond imagination, more than ninety percent of the country's soybeans are produced in the Northeast, and the export share in the world also accounts for more than ninety percent, China has an undisputed monopoly on the soybean market.

This is a very lucrative product, or how can the future US imperialists firmly grasp it, and the United States will rely on the despicable methods of commercial fraud to drive Chinese soybeans out of the market, and most of them will not have a chance in this time and space, not only will they not have a chance, but the Americans will also spend a lot of money to import soybeans from China.

Soybean exports have brought a lot of profits to China, one-third of the imported machinery in the entire Northeast region is all soybean profits, and now China is more and more supportive of the decision to develop the Northeast.

In addition, the Japanese are the Japanese who are looking at the Northeast and are working desperately in the ice and snow of the Far East to transport all kinds of resources that have been mined so hard to return to China.

Mining in the Far East, where the climatic conditions are extremely harsh, is naturally far more expensive than in other regions, and in order to maintain profits, the Japanese chaebols naturally reduce the salaries of miners to an outrageous level, just to keep them alive.

In addition, Japan also transferred a large number of people from Korea, and these laborers who were brought to the Far East were basically dead and dead, not only enduring the severe cold, but also having to work frantically for 14 or 5 hours a day, and it is no exaggeration to say that every ton of steel in Japan was soaked in blood, and there was a full bloody atmosphere.

However, I also have to admire the madness of the Japanese, their brutal oppression, but also in exchange for a lot of benefits, Japan's steel production has exceeded 3.5 million tons. This is an increase of more than one million tons compared to the same period in history.

No matter how crazy they are, of course. As long as China completes the First Five-Year Plan as scheduled and produces more than 5 million tons of steel, Japan will never have a chance to catch up with China!

"President, China's development speed has not been slow in recent years, but it seems that foreign countries are faster than us, especially the United States. In recent years, American goods have flooded our market, if it continues like this, will we still have the possibility of surpassing the United States? ”

It is very normal for Yang Du to set China's goal of transcendence on the United States, because both countries are large countries with vast areas, and China's area is much larger than that of the United States. The dimensions of the two countries are also about the same, the population of the United States is also more than 100 million, among the major powers, only the United States is the closest to China, of course, there is also a Soviet Union, but many of China's industrial indicators have surpassed the Soviet Union, and the goal of surpassing is naturally locked on the United States.

"Mr. Huizi, the so-called extreme of things must be opposed. You should know better than I do about the wisdom of our ancestors. How can you still believe that the United States will continue to develop! ”

Qiao Yu thought about it, and now it is almost 1927, and the United States is at the peak of the so-called Coolidge boom. At the peak, it was not far from the crisis, and it seemed that he was about to make some arrangements, Qiao Yu immediately found the finance minister Jiang Yonggui and the governor Wei Ruolan.

"President, President Wei has been paying attention to the U.S. economy, and he is also trying to report to the president, so I think he will give you and Mr. Huizi a brief introduction to the economic prosperity of the United States!"

Wei Ruolan also knew it for a long time, and she didn't need any information, so she said directly: "President, after the outbreak of World War I, the American economy experienced a short post-war recession, and then showed a trend of rapid development, after Coolidge succeeded as president in 23 years, he pursued the idea of small government and adhered to liberalism, and the core of his governance was to cut taxes, cut government agencies, reduce government control, and encourage free competition. ”

Yang Du said to Qiao Yu with a smile when he heard this: "President, China should be called a big government now, but the United States implements a small government, but both countries have ushered in tremendous development, which shows that they have the same path!" ”

"Mr. Huizi, the prosperity of the United States is false, there are huge hidden dangers, far less real than China's data, and China is still in the initial stage of industry, we still have a long way to go, and the United States is always in a huge crisis, which is also the common view of dozens of economic experts!" Wei Ruolan was unsparing in her criticism of the so-called prosperity of the United States.

Then the Chinese economic expert began to explain the reasons for the prosperity in the United States, and comprehensively dissected the problems behind the prosperity to Qiao Yu and Yang Du.

As the saying goes, the first war sent huge wealth to the United States, and at the same time, the war consumed an astonishing amount of social wealth, and after the end of the war, Britain and France and other countries were busy recovering from their wounds, and the international market left a huge space for American goods.

Moreover, the United States held a large number of British and French bonds in its hands during World War I, with this advantage, the United States successfully penetrated its tentacles into Canada, and at the same time used gold dollar diplomacy to turn Latin American countries into the backyard of the United States.

American entrepreneurs also used the wealth gained from World War I to replace a large number of equipment and improve production efficiency, so that American industry reached the level of blowout development.

However, Wei Ruolan is very optimistic about this kind of development: "Big President, the United States pursues the idea of small government and large enterprises, and promotes free competition, in fact, it is completely irresponsible, they push the workers and peasants to the same running line as the capitalists and large enterprises, this freedom is just the freedom of capital, and the income of workers and peasants in a disadvantaged position has not increased with economic growth at all, in fact, their income is in a state of relative contraction, in the final analysis, the development of the United States is unequal development. That's their biggest hidden danger! (To be continued.) )
