Zhang Zuolin waited while talking to Luan Guitian beside him. Luan Guitian is the actual head of the brother company, Zhang Zuolin and the brothers of the enterprise, all named "brothers", in 1916 into the Zhang family as a bookkeeper Luan Guitian, in the following years quickly showed his ability, Zhang Zuolin's favor.

When bandits robber homes and houses are not a problem, when it comes to legal business, Zhang Zuolin and his brothers are blind. This is not the Republic of China in parallel history, you can loot the people's fat and ointment, you can open a big smoke house, the only legal casino has to apply for a license, accept the supervision of government departments, no casinos to engage in crooked ways, only allowed to charge fees.

Zhang Zuolin retired from the rank of lieutenant general and still enjoys the treatment of a lieutenant general in the National Defense Forces. After a few years in business, relying on the contacts accumulated in the army at the beginning, I have been taken care of by many military aspects.

Luan Guitian belongs to the old-school shopkeeper style, and has been working hard for the Zhang family's industry in parallel history, and is loyal. In this era, there are many such people, and character and faithfulness are praised and necessary for businessmen. China has never been a contract society.

Two guards appeared in the corridor, and Zhang Zuolin immediately stood up. I never thought that it was not Fang Jianxiong who appeared next, but Li Zhonghua, the Minister of Geology. Zhang and Li didn't have much contact, and the first time they covered their faces was when they picked up the station at night, and they were only famous before.

"Hello Minister Zhonggong." Zhang Zuolin has a good memory and stepped forward to greet him. Li Zhonghua, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, smiled reluctantly and said, "Governor Yuting came really early. ”

"Why doesn't Minister Zhonggong rest more?" Zhang Zuolin asked with concern, Li Zhonghua shook his head and said, "Fortunately, there is an emergency call from Daqing, something has happened, I have to deal with it." ”

"Daqing? Isn't that a military cordoned off zone? Zhang Zuolin subconsciously asked, and Li Zhonghua was shocked. Secret Dao, even Zhang Zuolin doesn't know what happened in Daqing? If you think about it carefully, the Black Province is under the jurisdiction of the Far Eastern Military Region, and the commander of the Military Region, Qi Zhenghong, is the master who no one buys except for the commander. Last year, a newspaper in a black province commented that the Far East was barren and that the Wehrmacht's investment in the Far East and Siberia was a waste of national funds. As a result, the newspaper was smashed by a group of soldiers at night, and the black provincial council was impeached many times. In an interview with reporters, Qi Zhenghong threatened: "China's current situation is fundamentally not suitable for the so-called democratic political party. The country only needs one leader, one voice. ”

The impact of this incident is very large, and it is being discussed by all walks of life throughout the country. The field of intellectuals was actually divided into two because of this incident, and one faction criticized Qi Zhenghong as a negative teaching material for democratic constitutionalism, believing that Qi Zhenghong was a restorationist who went against the trend of history. One faction supports Qi Zhenghong's views according to the course of history. The focus is still on the changes in the country after Fang Jianxiong's rise. I think that the Republic of China can have today's international status, which time was not guided by Marshal Fang's foresight?

In short, some well-known intellectuals in China quarreled with each other over this matter. No one can convince anyone to directly lead some international events, but they cannot attract everyone's attention. Fang Jianxiong has not expressed his position on this matter, but after Qi Zhenghong went to Beijing to report on his work. In a statement in the newspaper, he apologized to the newspaper office that he had smashed, but again stated that he stood by his point of view. Because of this incident, Qi Zhenghong has a group of young people in various universities who have become his fans.

"I still have to rush to Daqing. Not much to say, the special train is still waiting. Li Zhonghua hurried away, leaving Zhang Zuolin unclear. Fang Jianxiong's northeast patrol declared that the focus was on the Far Eastern Military Region and the Mongolian Military Region. The Daqing Oilfield is still absolutely secret. There are forbidden areas guarded by the army around the perimeter, and the railways connected to it are all built by engineers. It's not surprising that Zhang Zuolin doesn't know.

Zhang Zuolin gave him his hand, and when he turned around, he saw a few guards appear on the corridor again, and immediately stepped forward quickly. Sure enough, Fang Jianxiong followed, followed by Ding Jiang, followed by Chen Guofu, Yang Yongtai and the new commander of the Shenyang Military Region, Li Yifeng. At present, the former commanders of the military regions in China, except for Xu Shuzheng of Mongolia, the commanders of the other major military regions are either those who followed the Fang clan in the early days, or they are from the teaching team. There are only a few old-school soldiers left who were born in the United Autonomous Region and can still speak in the military system. In particular, those who followed the Nanjing Provisional Government in those years were even more bleak and withered. Duan Qirui is the Minister of National Defense, Xu Shuzheng is the commander of the Mongolian Military Region, and the front-line troops are also led by Wu Peifu, commander of the 20th Army, Chen Yan, commander of the 21st Army, and less than 10 division commanders. Speaking of Chen Eun and Wu Peifu, they were the ones who fought in the European battlefield, and among the division commanders of the old Beiyang of the expeditionary force, these two were competent.

"Good for the handsome!" Zhang Zuolin's posture was very low, and after greeting Fang Jianxiong, he greeted the others. After being polite, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said, "Brother Yuting, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly smiled: "It should be, it should be." Fushuai was able to attend the ceremony of the new locomotive off the assembly line, and the brother company was honored. If it weren't for the worry of disturbing Fu Shuai's rest, the sensibles of the brother company would have to come here to wait. ”

Fang Jianxiong listened and said with a smile: "Brother Yuting is too polite, speaking of which I want to thank the brother company, if it were not for the company's determination to forge ahead, not lying on the credit book of Sino-German cooperation and waiting for death, but independently learning and digesting German technology and developing its own locomotives belonging to the Chinese, the first Chinese locomotive to achieve all independent property rights will have to wait for several years." ”

As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong stepped out, and continued as he walked: "Brother Yuting, the brother company is doing a good job. At present, China's locomotives are Wanguo brand, and the brother company has taken an important step to achieve full self-production of locomotives. I heard that the cabinet wants to develop a series of national key enterprises and give corresponding preferential policies, and I think that the brother company is enough to qualify. I hope that in the future, the railways in the land of China will run all the locomotives produced by domestic brother companies. ”

This passage was recorded by the reporters of the "Republic of China Times" and "National Defense Forces" newspapers who accompanied him, and commented: "Learning and digesting foreign advanced technology, from introduction to independent production, is the direction pointed out by the chairman of the committee for the industrial road of the Republic of China." Such a sycophant, the official media filmed it to be skilled, but theoretically, this comment is right.

The process of industry from scratch is too difficult, and you can't even think about it overnight.

The newspaper published that Fang Jianxiong attended the off-line ceremony of the Youlong locomotive, and said that enterprises similar to brother companies and enterprises that play a pivotal role in the future development of the national economy should be included in the key national support projects.

After attending the ceremony of the rolling off the assembly line of the Youlong locomotive, Fang Jianxiong did not stop and inspected Lianhua Airlines, which cooperated with the Minister of Boeing. Because of the huge order of 200 bombers, Boeing had to bow its arrogant head and obediently come to China to build a factory. In those days, the US imperialists did not attach so much importance to the Air Force, and there was no way for any country's aircraft manufacturing companies to resist China's orders. Boeing is the same, not only can it not resist the order for bombers, but also cannot resist the order of at least 800 fighter jets from the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force next year. Compared with the great development of the Air Force, the size of the Chinese Army is quietly decreasing. In addition to the three Central Guard Divisions, only 20 of the 100 infantry divisions are fully manned, and the other infantry divisions have been continuously retired in the past two years and maintained at the level of half strength, retaining officers and non-commissioned officers to fill the reserves of the provincial military districts. The army complained bitterly about this state, and Cai Yi, the deputy chief of general staff in charge of the army, is said to have slapped the table with Marshal Fang several times, just because there were too many troops with half of them.

In order to get orders from the military, Boeing insisted on placing the engine plant in China, but Boeing's R&D institutions remained in the United States. Refusing to give in to this, UMC organized a group of technicians and set up an engine research institute by itself. Together with the Aviation Research Institute in Wuchang, it is called the "North and South Second Institute". The two institutes have different focuses, with the Lianhua Aviation Research Institute focusing on engine development for the Dà aircraft, while the Wuhan side focuses on fighter jets. Moreover, Wuhan has cooperated with the Curtiss companies of Germany and the United States respectively, and the Eagle III aircraft is the product of cooperation with Curtis. It is said that he has recently been working with a German company on the development of a monoplane.

Fang Jianxiong's arrival made Sino-US Huabo Airlines feel like a chicken's blood, especially at the end of last year, when a three-ton bomber was delivered to the Air Force for trial, Fang Jianxiong's attitude was too critical for Huabo Company.

In 1923, another election year, the provincial legislators voted to elect a new parliament, and the final ruling party was determined based on the number of seats the party held in the parliament. The number of provincial councillors is linked to the proportion of the economic and educational population of each province. According to the statistics of the education department, the five provinces and municipalities of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, and Guangdong have the highest economic and population education programs, and have received the largest share of parliamentarians.

Yang Yongtai did not follow Fang Jianxiong to continue north, but stayed in Shenyang to canvass for votes, the new Republican Party leader election is coming, Sun Baoqi, who has decided to retire, can be regarded as a successful retirement. A new chairman of the Republican Party has been elected, and Tang Hualong has taken over. If the Republicans win the election, Tong Hualong will take over as president. According to custom, the vice president is elected by the largest opposition party. The former vice president, Li Yuanhong, is now involved with Zhang Jian and Liang Qichao, and the United Party, which is not bad at economic strength, is ambitious in the new general election. Zhang Zuolin joined the Republican Party after retiring from the military and is now the chairman of the Republican Party in Liao Province.

Yang Yongtai and Gu Weijun are vying for the position of Republican vice chairman, and the winner will be the prime minister. Judging from the current situation, Yang Yongtai and Gu Weijun are half of each other.
