There is a natural bay in the southwest of Busan called Jinbay. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Town Bay is the largest bay on the Korean Peninsula. This area of hundreds of square kilometers of the bay water depth and wide port, can be said to be the first good port in Northeast Asia, the bay is surrounded by layers, the bay in the bay, the port in the port, the rolling mountains will be the bay completely "wrapped" in it, there is only one sea mouth about a few kilometers wide.

In the morning, the wind howled, the cold wind blowing from the sea invaded the muscles and bones, on the mountain ridge at the mouth of the sea, thousands of laborers were digging the mountain to prepare for the construction of forts on the mountain, the old forts were located near the city of Busan, and now several new forts are being built around the bay of the town, and between the excavated mountains, tunnel bunkers are under construction.

While the laborers on the top of the hill and on the mountainside were busy, there were two young men walking along the beach on the beach, and there was a clear difference in the clothes of the two, one of them was wearing a black woolen coat, and the other was wearing a cotton robe.

"Zhong Peng, look, looking east from here, more than 400 miles away, is Japan!"

Standing on the beach, Tang Haoran pointed to the other side and said to Li Jingshu beside him.

Li Hongzhang would send his son to North Korea, which was completely unexpected by Tang Haoran, and Li Jingshu's low posture was far from his expectation, after he came to North Korea, he did not interfere in the affairs of the palace at all, even if a North Korean official "complained" in front of him, he would also inform the government as soon as possible, which was a good thing.

Maybe. It is precisely because of this low profile of Li Jingshu. Tang Haoran will only come to Busan to inspect the construction of the naval base. Bringing him here, more than a month of contact, Tang Haoran has a clear understanding of him - he is an honest man. Although he is extremely smart, he is not the domineering of ordinary eunuchs, and what is even more rare is that this person is extremely honest, so that Tang Haoran even suspects that he is not from the Li family. Or because of this, it is not as "famous" as Li Jingfang in history.

When choosing a naval base, Tang Haoran did not choose Incheon, which had the initial port conditions, but chose Zhenwan, which had better conditions, because it was a natural harbor with the best conditions on the Northeast Asian continent, and on the other hand, it was for political reasons -- to keep the fleet away from the Beiyang.

Even to a certain extent, the Beiyang Naval Division, which is now unprecedentedly expanded, threatens Tang Haoran even more than the Russian fleet. Naturally, in this case. Although it costs a lot of money to build a new naval base, in the future, the town bay with a wide and deep water is obviously more suitable as a naval base than Lushun, even after a hundred years, it is also one of the aircraft carrier anchorages of the US military, and in another time and space, it is also the anchorage of the Japanese Combined Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War. It is for this reason that Tang Haoran chose this place as the future "North Korean Navy" base, and Incheon was only used as an auxiliary port.

"Japanese ......"

Looking at the sea, Li Jingshu pondered for a moment, and then looked at Tang Haoran and said.

"Aren't the Russians already occupying Miyagi and Yamashiro prefectures now?"

Now there is no hope for Japan, Russia once again refused the mediation of the United States, they not only occupied the two prefectures of Miyagi and Yamashiro in the central part of northern Japan, and at the same time repaired the port of Sakata, a steady stream of Russian troops are pouring into Japan through the port, and what is even more deadly is in the northern counties of Aomori, Akita and Iwate, where nearly 100,000 Japanese troops are gathered, and now they are all blocked in the north without exception, which is completely meaningless.

In the south, although the Japanese army is resisting, their strength is too weak compared to the Russians, and the war may continue until next year, but in fact, the current Japanese army is only a stubborn resistance.

"Yes, next year, the large-scale war will end, and then ...... Japan's demise will be inevitable! ”

Russia may have won, but it would have been a pyrrhic victory for Russia - the Russians had already spent more than 1.2 billion rubles in just half a year of the war, and although their bonds were extremely popular in Europe, the huge war spending was depleting the Russians' financial resources.

However, for a country that does not care about gains and losses and is eager to retaliate, huge financial expenditures are acceptable for the time being, and after the end of this war, Russia, whose financial resources have been exhausted, will be out of breath for at least ten years, and this war has bought time for China and won ten years...... Most importantly, it prevented Japan from starting the First Sino-Japanese War.

If the Qing Dynasty had not been defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War, the glamorous Westernization Movement might have been able to fool the world for decades, and the Qing Dynasty would still be a formidable "behemoth". Just as now, the ambitious expansion of the Beiyang Naval Fleet has been amazed by the navies of all countries in the world, and even the Russians, who have absolute naval superiority, have begun to strengthen their naval armaments under the pretext of attacking Japan on the one hand, and the scale of their development is undoubtedly greater than that of the Beiyang Fleet.

He prevented the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, but he did not solve the problem fundamentally -- he only replaced the Sino-Japanese War with the Sino-Russian War, and although it won ten years, after ten years, the regrouped Russia would set its sights on China, and if China lost that war, it would probably lose not only Taiwan, but even possibly ......

Tang Haoran stared at the rough sea during his contemplation, he could imagine that Japan was in the midst of war at this time, and he naturally did not have a trace of sympathy for the lives of Japan, even the reports on the atrocities of the Russian army in Japan in the "China Times" were just a smile, and even deep down, he longed for the Russian army to commit one atrocity after another in Japan, whether it was a massacre, a strong woman, or a dog-eat-dog atrocity, did human beings need to interfere? Of course not!

But the cannibalism of the two dogs in China can bring unexpected benefits, and this is the opportunity that Tang Haoran needs to seize.

"So, we need to think about another issue. After the fall of Japan. We need to face the pressure of Russia! ”

Tang Haoran who broke the silence. Glancing to the north, the neighbor was far more greedy for his land than any other country, like Japan.

"Of course, this problem is with Lord Zhongtang and Beiyang, so the pressure on my side is not so great!"

Faced with Tang Haoran's compliment to his father, Li Jingshu hurriedly complimented back:

"Ziran is polite, the new policy you have run in Haidong and the new army that you have trained. It is also the foundation of his resistance to the invasion of the Russians! ”

"The new army has fallen, and the Korean people are barren, and even if the country is exhausted, it will be difficult to train the new army in the two towns, if it were not for this, how can I implement economic control in order to increase the financial resources and seek funds for the training of the new army......

According to Li Jingshu's mouth, Tang Haoran has already reported the purpose of implementing economic control to the capital, and to a certain extent, he has won the "understanding" of the capital.

"And with the little financial resources in the house, I want to run a new army. Now Fuzhong and the company have hired as many as 728 foreign teachers, as many as 1,412 technicians, 145 clerks, 875 skilled workers, and 391 other types of personnel......

In order to meet the needs of industry and administration, both the government and the company hired foreigners at several times the salary, after coming to the DPRK, Tang Haoran faced many problems and even difficulties in many aspects, and the depletion of talents was the most obvious and direct, and the domestic education could not meet the needs of the special zone for technical personnel and qualified industrial workers in terms of scale and content.

In particular, unlike Japan, in addition to light industry such as the textile industry, there is also heavy industry centered on iron and steel, and there is undoubtedly a more urgent need to train a large number of skilled workers and medium-sized scientific and technological personnel. Therefore, the only way to solve the problem is to bring in urgently needed talents to foreign countries and send international students to study abroad.

The introduction of foreign advanced technology and the extensive hiring of foreign experts from all walks of life are only a temporary solution, and the fundamental solution to the problem lies in the cultivation of domestic talents, and gradually stop the introduction of such talents, and sending students abroad is a choice, but only through continuous self-cultivation can the problem of talent be solved.

"That's why I set up the East Asia Tongwen College, which had only more than 400 students last year, and more than 4,500 after the second semester of next year, all of whom are graduates of Tongwen Halls all over China, and in Tongwen Hall, they have learned English, German, French and mathematics, and elementary natural science general knowledge......

In the "education system" designed by Tang Haoran, Tongwentang is undoubtedly a pre-university department, and Tang Haoran did not know the role of the preparatory department in the past, but through Tongwentang, he understood the importance of the preparatory department - there are millions of scholars in China who are familiar with Chinese studies and have a rough understanding of mathematics, and as literati, they may be competent, but in terms of science and foreign languages, they are far inferior to the high school students trained by modern education. The purpose of the Tongbun Hall as a preparatory department is to educate students in foreign languages, natural sciences, mathematics and other scientific knowledge, so that they can learn the most advanced modern knowledge of this era under the education of European and American professors in the Tongbun College with European and American textbooks.

"Zi Ran's Tongwen Hall, my father also deeply agreed, my father once said in front of the scriptures, when it comes to foreign affairs, the father is not as good as Zi Ran, and the root is in this Tongwen Hall! The vision of adults is far beyond the reach of others! ”

Whether it is a compliment or a sycophant, even Li Jingshu admires the East Asian Tongwen education system to the extreme in his heart, and if it continues in this way, it will not be possible to solve the situation of foreign affairs without anyone in a few years, and the only pity is that all the talents are used by the DPRK.

"Lord Zhongtang praised it falsely!"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran turned his gaze to Li Jingshu and asked rhetorically.

"But is that enough?"

(For everyone who thinks that the controlled economy is a planned economy, it is necessary to explain that the controlled economy is different from the planned economy, and the so-called controlled economy means that under the premise of capitalist production relations, the state finance directly intervenes in or controls all aspects of social reproduction such as production, circulation, distribution, and all sectors of the national economy in order to obey the needs of the war and rely on administrative legal means, and it is a highly arbitrary and centralized capitalist wartime economic model.) The comprehensive implementation of the control economy is the manifestation of the establishment of the wartime economic system. During World War I and World War II, the belligerent countries such as Britain and the United States implemented economic control, the essence of which was the government's system of "coercive intervention" and "control" of the economy. It is very different from the Soviet-style planned economy. (To be continued.) )
