Chapter 538: Something Happened Again?
@@@@@@@
No matter how ordinary a person is, he can become an excellent fighter after 6 years of fighting.
The moment the machine gun neighed, the tiger head subconsciously fell to the ground, and his hands habitually touched his belt, but the empty belt bag frightened him into a cold sweat.
At such an instant, the flying bullets had already stirred up the flesh and blood in the camp, and the soldiers of the Chinese regiment who had gathered together to see off their partners were simply meat targets, and the bullets hit all parts of their bodies like a torrential rain, blood and broken limbs were all over the ground, and many people were hit by flying bullets before they were halfway up their guns.
This small camp on the banks of the Lena River has become a veritable Shura hell, with Mongol and Russian Red Army soldiers rushing into the camp from all sides, slaughtering unprepared Chinese soldiers. Some of the murderous soldiers even abandoned their guns altogether and chopped the bodies of Chinese soldiers who they had called comrades yesterday with their glittering sabers.
One of the companions grabbed a stone and threw it at the enemy, but was soon mercilessly pierced through the stomach by a bayonet. Seeing this, the tiger head knew that he could not be saved, so he simply jumped up and slammed the enemy with his shoulder, and after pulling out the grenade on his waist, he turned around and threw it at the enemy pouring in from the main entrance. The thunderous grenade temporarily blocked the influx of enemies, and he took the opportunity to lead his companions to rush towards Ren Fuchen.
Ren Fuchen fell to the ground, his left chest was hit by two bloody holes from the bullet, and the self-contained pistol left by the tiger head in his hand had not even pulled the bolt. "Brother Ren, Brother Ren! Hold on, I'll take you away. Tiger Head and the rest of his companions grabbed their weapons on the ground and began to fight back, but there were too many enemies. The improvised line of defense could not be stopped at all. Huzi had to shout and pull to pull Ren Fuchen to the river, where there was a small boat they had secretly hidden.
The long blood seal seemed to symbolize something, and seeing the soldiers covering on both sides of the line, Ren Fuchen used his last strength to break free from the tiger's head and grabbed his hand fiercely. After returning the bloody pistol to him, his eyes were red and he shouted: "Go, go!" Take the brothers and escape. I'm sorry for you! The head of the Chinese regiment who led everyone to resolutely step into a foreign country in pursuit of their dreams ended up with wide eyes in confusion and blood spilled in this endless dense forest.
In tears, Huzi picked up his gun and fled to the river with his remaining companions. When they reached the riverbank, they found that the hidden boat had already been burned, which shows that the Russians have been on guard for a long time! The wide Lena River became a Jedi, and smiling faces slowly pressed against them. The enemy, raging in the distance, has already begun to clean up the battlefield. Even the dead were stabbed several times. The two female compatriots who were lucky enough not to die were dragged into the grass next to them by their hair, crying and scolding, and finally drowned out by lewd laughter, and the Red Army, which tore off all its disguises, even lined up in a long line to vent their animal desires!
"I'll you Russian grandma, you wait for Lao Tzu!" Tiger Head and seven or eight of his companions threw away their guns, bayonet in hand, endured the pain and heartbreak, and jumped into the icy Lena River. Only then did the Russian soldiers give up the idea of playing tricks and fired again and again, and several streams of blood suddenly appeared on the surface of the river.

The sound of gunfire in the dense forests of Siberia has not yet reached the outside world, but the shores of Chongqing's Qijiang Industrial Zone are bustling with activity.
Porters gather at the wharf to wait for employers from the south to the north, and river boats come and go in the river. Occasionally, you can see ships flying British and American flags. Factories of all kinds have appeared on the once barren land, and hundreds of chimneys have spread over 77 square kilometers of land. Small railway tracks stretch outward like a radial line around here, connecting the mining area, the airport and even the city of Chongqing. The road connecting the factory and the dormitory is lined with shops to meet the needs of the workers.
Seven years have passed since the project was established in 1912 and the site has been selected for 13 years. In the past 7 years, we have used the afterglow of the Westernization Movement to gather all our strength in the southwest. Chongqing Industrial Group has finally developed from a medium-sized steel mill and arsenals relocated from Jiangnan and Jinling to 27 branches of various types, 3 technical schools, and 16 mines of various types, and the industry involves the entire Yangzijiang River basin and the southwest of the super-large enterprises. It has more than 2,500 Chinese engineers and technicians, more than 430 foreign engineers and experts, and 33,000 Chinese workers. There are 5,021 foreign workers. The products range from the world's best airplanes to tanks and automobiles, from various machine tools to civilian boilers, from large-caliber heavy artillery to small bullets, as well as emerging industries represented by radio and steam turbines crystallized by heavy industry.
Like Hanyang and Jiangnan, Chongqing took a shortcut set by Yang Qiu. It is to gather Chinese technicians from all over the country and the world, and continue to cultivate and expand by inviting them to come in and go out. Normally this would take about 10 to 15 years, but the European war has catalyzed a shortened process. A large number of European engineers and skilled workers were brought in to become the backbone, and then the workers were sent to England and France for internships, and finally thousands of excellent talents were recruited from Russia. It was not enough to have people, but in 1916, Britain and France provided a large number of valuable precision machines to attract China's troops, and finally a large number of military orders helped to quickly pass the early stage of wealth accumulation, which led to the Chongqing Industrial Group.
Chongqing people also love and hate this group. Love is that because of its existence, the entire municipality of Chongqing has a new look, almost every household has children to work in it, completely changing the local agricultural economic model, but also led to the vigorous development of a large number of downstream industries, when the Greater Chongqing Industrial Zone is formed little by little, their own pockets are also bulging a lot. What I hate is that since the establishment of this group, there has not been much good weather in the vicinity for dozens of miles, because whenever the window is opened, the sky is covered with thick smoke, and even the urban area of Chongqing, 20 kilometers away, has not been completely spared.
Zhang Wenjing, who had just landed on the shore, also unconsciously covered his mouth and nose, the smell of burnt sulfur was really uncomfortable.
Lei Meng, who came to pick him up, laughed when he saw this: "This smell is a little unpleasant, I heard that there is a layer of coal ash on the river beach every morning, and even the fishermen can't run out." ”
"So when the site was first chosen, the vice president really took a lot of painstaking pains. There are few residents and few fields in this area, and if it were built in the urban area of Chongqing, I estimate that hundreds of thousands of households would not want to open their doors and breathe comfortably. Xu Xiujun, who met in Chongqing, came out from behind. He didn't think the smell was pungent. On the contrary, he looked at the factory area with great interest and sighed: "The sky and the earth are covered by dark clouds, which is the scene of the prosperous industrial era." If all parts of the country can be like this, why worry that the country is not rich and the people are not strong. ”
This ambition provoked Zhang Wenjing, who returned from the inspection, laughing: "You really dare to think that even the United States can't do the whole country to engage in industry." But this black cloud won't be around for long! Minister Zheng and the others have sent special personnel to Sweden to learn about the technology to reduce black smoke emissions. According to them, the damage of black smoke can be minimized after the transformation is completed. ”
"Sweden? How can such a small country have the ability to do this? Lei Meng didn't believe it, and shook his fingers, which were not much thinner than carrots, and gestured a few times: "I'll look at the map." It's not as big as our lake. ”
"A small country does not mean that the technology is poor." Zhang Wenjing's temperament, who returned from the inspection for half a year, has changed a lot, and when he talked, he finally had the posture of the finance minister of a big country, and introduced: "Before the European war. Sweden is the second largest industrial country after the six major European powers. Especially in metallurgical technology, half of the world's high-quality mild steel is now made by them, and bearings, hydraulics and complete sets of machinery are not much worse than those in Germany. After the war, a large number of German enterprises moved there. Now it's much more prosperous. ”
Lei Meng heard that little Sweden was so powerful, and he also opened his mouth and exclaimed: "No wonder the commander-in-chief went to the steel mill a few days ago and said that he wanted to strengthen the research of special steel, and soft steel was ranked second." According to Wu Qingdu, the factory director said that their self-produced soft steel in Chongqing is only at the level of Europe in 1910, and a large part of it still depends on imports. ”
Zhang Wenjing said: "It's not just about importing. Last year, the country imported a total of 2.7 million tons of various types of steel, and about 150,000 tons of soft steel. But this 150,000 tons, the price is equivalent to 2 million tons of crude steel! Think about it, how much can you save from your own production capacity? ”
"My mother, 150,000 tons dare to sell 2 million tons of crude steel at the price? Isn't this a money grab! "Major Lei Da has a rough breath in his nose. His eyes turned green and he said, "Then why don't you just buy equipment and technology and come back and build it yourself?" If our workers can't do it, they will be picked from the old Maozi who has fled, anyway, the commander-in-chief is still worrying about arranging them these days, and they can't be raised in vain! ”
Xu Xiujun knew that Zhang Wenjing's visit to the delegation was not only to broaden his horizons, but also to contact the banking circles and finance ministers of various countries. It also shouldered the task of purchasing equipment and technology, so when he went out, he brought two or three hundred representatives of the industrial and commercial circles. Seeing him laughing while talking, he couldn't help asking: "Runqiu (Zhang Wenjingzi) is smiling so happily, is it because he has bought this technology?" ”
"The Swedes are willing to sell, but the asking price is a water city steel mill!" Everyone didn't wait for Zhang Wenjing's reply, and someone next to him answered for him. Turning his head, it was Chen Guofu, secretary of the State Agency. During this time, he has been active in Europe and the United States, and as the representative of the National Socialist Party, he has been in contact with European and American political parties to deepen relations. Xu Xiujun didn't expect him to come back too, and said with a smile: "When did Guofu come back?" ”
"I arrived in Qinzhou six days ago, and I heard that the vice president was here, so I rushed here."
After Lei Meng hurriedly took his luggage and handed it to the guards, he remembered what he had just said and asked: "Guofu, do the Swedes really offer a Shuicheng steel mill?" ”
"yes." As soon as Chen Guofu nodded, Lei Meng gasped again. As Yang Qiu's guard battalion commander, he has also learned a lot over the years. The Shuicheng Iron and Steel Plant on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou is the most important steel company in the second five-year plan, with a designed capacity of 1.5 million tons per year. It is said that the total budget is as high as 60 million yuan, which is 30 million US dollars! The small mild steel metallurgy and processing technology is so outrageous that he can't imagine it.
Xu Xiujun was also taken aback, and said with some pity: "Hey." These foreigners really have good things, and I don't know if we will be able to catch up that day. ”
Chen Guofu laughed when he saw that he was depressed. When he was in Europe, he acted with Zhang Wenjing most of the time, so he knew Zhang Wenjing's actions well, and deliberately blinked his eyes and smiled: "Brother Zihong, don't worry, Minister Zhang didn't buy back Swedish technology this time, but he also got a lot of good things." ”
"Okay, Runqiu still has something to hide. Tell me, what did you buy? ”
Speaking of this trip to Europe and the United States, Zhang Wenjing was also quite proud, got into the car and said: "It's nothing, it's just to buy all the German mild steel technology and equipment." There are also seventeen or eighteen main equipment of Zeiss, Opel, Kielkrupp shipyards. By the way, the Rheinmetall artillery mount bearing manufacturing equipment, which the Navy has always wanted, also got it. ”
"What! Oops. Xu Xiujun was stunned by this list, and even forgot that he was sitting in a car. Jumped up and hit his head.
But he still has a headache now, as a core personnel, he knows about the Rhineland plan. At the beginning, due to the transportation capacity, it was necessary to choose cutting-edge equipment and drawing technology with higher value, and those rigid processing equipment had to be abandoned. But industry is a combination of technology, workers, and manufacturing equipment, and all three are indispensable. Originally, according to the plan, the second five-year plan was to slowly digest these technologies. Then I found a way to buy or manufacture processing equipment that matched these technologies, but I didn't expect Zhang Wenjing to buy back almost half of the supporting processing equipment this time, so he couldn't jump.
"No way. No way! Are the Germans stupid? After selling these things, they really won't be able to slow down for ten or eight years. But after thinking about it, he shook his head again and again and said that it was impossible.
This is not surprising either. You must know that in the Rhineland plan, Germany also kept a hand, selling copies of the technology but leaving the processing equipment not for sale. After the war, I tried to get the equipment in many ways, but there was no result, why did I sell it all this time? Chen Guofu explained his confusion: "Europe is very chaotic now. Britain and France urgently needed money to rebuild the country, but Germany could not afford to pay reparations. France, in particular, said every now and then that it would send troops to force debts, and removed a large amount of processing equipment, which were all their trophies just now. Before I returned, I had heard that France was planning to occupy the Ruhr industrial zone to pay off its debts, and that Parliament was agitating for the loss of $6.3 billion in loans owed to the United States. ”
"Poof."
Lei Meng, who was sitting in front, couldn't help it. Even the guards who were driving almost plunged into the river. These French guys are so ruthless! Not to mention emptying half of Germany, but also robbing other people's industrial areas, the most odious thing is that they want to get rid of billions of dollars in debt from the United States! This is what the French government and parliament have done to describe themselves as civilized people?! If this is really relied upon, it is estimated that the United States can cry from the Atlantic to the Pacific Thunder finally figured it out, smack your lips: "Fuck it!" No wonder I heard Bingwen say. The United States started construction of 13 capital warships in one go, and the total tonnage of all of them is 5% more than that of the British Navy! At that time, I wondered, he Yankee didn't even have a bird around, why did he spend so much money to build so many warships? Feelings are ready to be armed to force debts! I think it's a good idea, so we'll just get rid of it! ”
"Haha."
There was laughter in the carriage, and Zhang Wenjing even burst into tears. He scolded with a smile: "You hob meat, Britain and France dare to repay their debts because the United States has no problem with them for the time being, we are already short of money, and we still need to borrow from the United States for financing, if we repay the debt, who will believe us in the future?" ”
"Hehe, that's what I said, I said." Lei licked his lips fiercely, obviously planning to persuade Yang Qiu to repay his debts.
Xu Xiujun continued to ask: "France sold it to you so easily?" Why not use it yourself? There are a lot of things in it that are worth a lot of money, so should Britain just let it go? ”
"How to use it? How? Zhang Wenjing rolled his eyes and said: "After snatching it in France, I went home and took a look, and nearly half of the equipment standards did not match the industrial system, so many of them were piled up in the wasteland in the sun and rain." When I proposed to buy it, the British also sent people to obstruct it, and I wanted to buy it back in one go. But their industry does not match Germany, and they can only be used as garbage when they buy it back. Italy and Japan wanted to buy it, but the bids were too low. Later, Goufu and I simply went to their speaker and quietly asked people to deliberately leak the news and publish it in the newspaper. ”
"You are unscrupulous!" Xu Xiujun was full of laughter. This trick is too dark! After leaking the news of the purchase to the newspapers and deliberately letting the whole down know, if the French government continues to refuse to sell it, and eventually it will not get back a dime smashed in its hands, then the parliament that dares to propose a loan to the United States in order to raise money and force debts will definitely be furious, and in a serious case, it will directly impeach the government!
Although there are also Italy and Japan, the current financial situation of the two countries is not willing to spend money at all. As for the United States, it must first consider how to get back the $10 billion loan from the European War.
The three of them chatted about the interesting facts and local political situation since their visit to Europe, and the car quickly arrived at the destination. But as soon as Zhang Wenjing pushed the car door, he saw Cai Ye and Yue Peng hurriedly preparing to get into the car with a straight face, and he chuckled in his heart.
The three of them are all good friends who know the roots, this kind of look is too familiar to him, and he hurriedly shouted: "Songpo, Zi'an!" You are. ”
"Runqiu (Zihong), when did you arrive?"
"Haven't you just arrived, where are you going? Vice president. As soon as Zhang Wenjing and Xu Xiujun asked, Cai Ye didn't have time to open the car door and interrupted: "Something happened in the Northeast!" Let's go, the commander-in-chief inspected the Russian village, and just went to see him together. ”
"Something happened in the Northeast?!"
Zhang Wenjing and the three of them looked at each other, and the joy just now was suddenly overcast. Seeing that the complete sets of advanced processing equipment that have come back from large purchases are coming back, I originally wanted to study together with technical data to speed up the catch-up speed of the industry. Moreover, the most important economic conference is about to be held, and at the critical juncture of the comprehensive economic reform and the second round of industrial and commercial stimulus plans, something happened in the Northeast again! Although I don't know what it is, I can know it from Cai Yi and Yue Peng in person, and it must be a big thing.
Could it be that the Japanese have launched another provocation? Or is it the poor party guerrillas who are making trouble? No, how could a mere guerrilla make the two of them look so good. But no matter who it is, if you continue to toss like this, won't this good season be delayed in vain? …… (To be continued.)
