Chapter 255: An Agreement and Roosevelt's Speech

The earth-shattering roar lasted for more than an hour before it slowly ended, and everyone suddenly felt warm as Tu Qianjun silently landed on the shore and changed into a clean military uniform. The only thing I learned there was the brutality of war: it was easier to survive fighting without fear of death than trying to escape. ”

Speaking of this, Tu Qianjun suddenly laughed! I saw him smile and whispered to the group of students: "If there is anything else to learn, it is to eat as much as you can when you eat." Because I don't know if I can eat it next time! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, all the students laughed, and saw Tu Qianjun say softly: "Okay! Let's go back! Tomorrow we have a day off and we will continue to train the day after tomorrow. I'm going to teach you something special that I hope you'll get used to. Now, disband! Take a fifteen-minute break and lead the team back to camp! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's command, the students shouted loudly: "Yes! Sir! ”

Then they dispersed in groups, or rested by the car, or lined up to fetch water from the leopards. Even Lin Bao and the others brought a small half cart of milk this time, in order to supplement the nutrition of these students. This money was not ordered from the west, but by Tu Qianjun himself.

In Tu Qianjun's opinion, this is not much money anyway, not to mention that he has blackened a lot in the stock market, so he is generous. But the students of the pastry were so moved that they drank the oats brewed with hot milk. Then they gathered and returned to West Point with Tu Qianjun to rest.

For several days in a row, these students were constantly strengthening their hand-to-hand combat and armed fighting skills under Tu Qianjun's personal training. Not to mention, Tu Qianjun also grabbed Lin Leopard, who had practiced hard qigong, and was stunned to demonstrate to these students what "Chinese kung fu" is!

The bluffing students were stunned, but their motivation to learn has increased a lot! There were even several students pestering Lin Bao to learn that hard skill, and Lin Bao was a little entangled and couldn't stand it, so he taught them some basic ones and let them practice first.

said that he taught them the next step of kung fu when he had achievements, but in fact, Lin Bao didn't have the heart to teach them kung fu. You know, the bearded Lin Leopard has always been an old tradition, and he didn't want to learn anything good from him if he hadn't practiced for three or five years! At least he has an extra level of seniority and accomplishments, which can be of great use when he wants to run for president or renew his term as governor in the future!

This was very good for Roosevelt's prestige, and Roosevelt would do his best to bring about it. Sure enough, after Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai gave Roosevelt a thorough explanation, there were hardly any big waves in the negotiations.

Everything went very peacefully, and gradually proceeded in the direction that Yang Yuting and the others expected.

What was the industry like in the United States at this time?! So let's introduce the current industrial situation in the United States, let's talk about machine tools first!

The world's first machine tool was developed in 1769 by an English technician for the development of power and manufacturing. In 1765, Watt invented the steam engine, and then Britain successively developed lathes and gantry planers.

In 1819, Britain built the first steam-powered ship to cross the Atlantic. Construction of the world's first railroad began in 1829. The industrial revolution in Britain advanced rapidly, and the development of capitalist strength and industrialization accelerated.

At that time, the machine tool technology in Britain was the most advanced in the world, and the machine tool industry was the strongest. At the 1851 London Exhibition in England, Britain had the largest number of technical talents, the most advanced machine tool technology, and the largest quantity, which were exported to the United States, Germany, and France.

At that time, Britain's manufacturing and industry dominated the world, and its metallurgical industry accounted for 75% of the world's total.

The development of machine tools in the United States was half a century later than in the United Kingdom. In the second half of the 18th century, the United States was still an agricultural country, and all the machinery and various machine tools needed for the development of its textile industry were purchased from Britain. However, the United States came from behind, and from the second half of the 19th century, machine tool technology gradually replaced Britain.

First of all, in response to the needs of mass production of military Mauser guns, the tolerance and parts interchangeability technology was studied, and the tolerance standards were formulated, which created a precedent for efficient mass production in the world and created a number of special machine tools with different styles.

In this process, in 1898, Taylor, who was born as a worker, developed a tungsten-chromium alloy high-speed steel tool, the cutting speed was increased to 50m/min, and the productivity of American factories was generally increased by 60%.

Later generations of the United States production of aerospace and other use of high-performance CNC machine tools, unfortunately, the United States once focused on basic scientific research, ignoring the application of technology, and in the eighties of the United States government once relaxed the guidance, resulting in a slow increase in CNC machine tool production, in 1982 by the backward Japan surpassed, and a large number of imports.

But for now, the U.S. government is simply not in a position to redeem itself. And the technology industry is not too strictly restricted, and it is Tu Qianjun who was able to take advantage of this loophole to carry out a large number of introductions and poaching.

Finally, after nearly a week and a half of tacit negotiations between the two sides, the Northeast Army, represented by Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai, and Roosevelt agreed to use the American J-type D-type light 6-foot lathe, backpack electric lathe, hexagonal lathe, planer, spur gear machine, and helical gear machine...... And so on in each small factory in the full acquisition of machine tools!

And the price is uniform, as long as each machine tool can be used through the acceptance, it will be fully purchased at a price of 1,000 US dollars. The hired workers who have been tested and skilled are invited to work in China at a salary of 10 yuan per person per month, and those who are determined to be technicians after testing can get 30 yuan. and two months' salary advance in advance.

The requirement of the New York State government is that Yang Yuting and they must hire no less than 30,000 laborers, and Yang Yuting and they called Zhang Xueliang and got Zhang Xueliang's instructions: 50,000 people can be hired! It was they who replied that Roosevelt could invite 50,000 people! Roosevelt was overjoyed to hear it!

Of course, these workers on the Manchurian side were provided with food and shelter. And these salaries are not paid directly to them. Instead, the New York State government collects half of the money in advance and distributes it to their designated families in the United States.

Why did Zhang Xueliang say that he could invite 50,000 people? ! Because, this price is already extremely cheap! It's so cheap! At that time, prices were extremely low, according to the "Compilation of Price Data Before and After the Liberation of Shanghai" and the "History of the Shanghai Labor Movement":

In Shanghai in 1927, the second stem rice 1 stone 14 yuan, 1 bag of flour 3.30 yuan, 1 kg of cut noodles 0.07 yuan, 1 kg of pork 0.28 yuan, 1 kg of cotton 0.48 yuan, 1 quintal of coal 0.14 yuan, 1 kg of kerosene 0.06 yuan, 1 piece of soap 0.05 yuan, 1 box of cigarettes 0.036 yuan, 1 kg of tea 0.23 yuan, 1 kg of live chicken 0.37 yuan, 1 fresh egg 0.027 yuan, 1 kg of soybean oil 0.19 yuan, 1 kg of salt 0.043 yuan, 1 kg of sugar 0.096 yuan, 1 foot of muslin 0.107 yuan. In order to recover the funds as soon as possible, the bank requires that it be sold as soon as possible, no matter what the price!

Yes, it caused Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai to pick up this big bargain! After agreeing on these priorities, the next step was to scramble for recruitment and urge the state government to prepare ships to ship the first batch of dismantled machines and recruited personnel to China.

Roosevelt, along with representatives of state legislators and businesses, then addressed the entire New York State over the radio! With that invisible radio wave, the current governor of New York, Franklin. Roosevelt's passionate, sonorous, confident voice was infectious: "...... In these unfortunate times, we need to devise plans to re-pin our hopes on those who have been forgotten at the bottom of the economic pyramid. In our America, in our state of New York, the only thing that is truly valuable is the natural resources and the ...... of the people."

"Since the stock market crash, we all seem to have lost our souls and died. This situation makes me feel very uncomfortable, what is happening to the country that once made us extremely proud?! Roosevelt's voice continued, "Let me first say to me that I firmly believe that the only thing we fear is fear itself, a nameless, irrational, unjustified fear. It can paralyze us, we can't do anything, we can't move from retreat to offense. ”

The drunken people who were waiting for the last drunk in the bar raised their heads and listened attentively to Roosevelt's speech, because they realized from Roosevelt's speech that sincerity, hope, fearlessness, unity! These drove away the despair that had lingered in their hearts during this time!

At the same time, all who listened to Governor Rothcher's speech felt a change in themselves: in the slums, the patches on their clothes, the underfed children raised their heads; In the district court, the disgruntled peasants who were ready to fight raised their heads; The women who were mending their torn clothes looked up. There seemed to be a burst of fairy music in the silent air, and it slowly injected a burst of vitality into the hearts of these people!

"Through our efforts and negotiations, our state government has found a job for everyone with a demand of 50,000 people. The factory from Manchuria, China, agreed to hire 50,000 workers from us to work in China and gave us an advance of two months' salary (). ”

Heard the news! Everyone was ecstatic! Job! As long as you have a job, you can support your family and be respected! There is nothing more proud in the Protestant ethic than to feed oneself with one's own hands!

"Although, I know it's just a drop in the bucket. But we've been working hard, trying to get out of this disaster together for the people of New York State, for the people of America! Facts have proved that our efforts have paid off. It also proves that God has not abandoned America! When we try to find a way out for ourselves and for America, we will always find it! ”

"Finally, please sign up at the police stations everywhere to fill in your information and wait for the assessment. May the Lord be with us! Amen! ”

The people who listened to Roosevelt's radio at the end of the speech, Amen ......, bowed their heads and prayed with Roosevelt. Then, according to the rules, the people who were originally miserable and panicked slowly gathered at the entrance of the nearby police station, waiting in line to fill out the form. For a while, the people of New York State who got the news were like a corpse suddenly injected with vitality!

The first batch of selected people were then sent to Chinatown for written tests and interviews, while vehicles with signs in both Chinese and English "Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang" began to distribute bread and milk everywhere.

Children and the elderly received double portions, and some defunct companies and factories in the vicinity of Huaxing Building and Zhi Gong Tang began to take in the homeless and provide them with some work and income as much as possible.

And Tu Qianjun, who was at West Point, quietly listened to Roosevelt's speech in front of the radio, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart! This governor is one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States, and his decisiveness and oratory skills are unsurpassed!

It must be said that Roosevelt's speech was extremely successful! At least the whole state of New York was settled down a lot, and Roosevelt's popularity was suddenly boosted by this speech! Most unexpectedly, those who had listened to the radio outside of New York State also rushed to New York State and tried to get some forms to get a job!
