Chapter 300: Countermeasures

Originally, Qin Yu diligently governed the Northeast, even if there was growth, it was already good to reach more than 60 million, but Japan's foreign debt was reduced from 1.9 billion to 1.6 billion. At the same time, the external debt only soared from more than 800 million yuan to nearly 4.4 billion. In contrast, the benefits of the Northeast on the books are much smaller.

Compared with Japan's superiority at sea and decades of industrial base, it is obviously impossible for Tohoku to compete with Japan in this regard. On the one hand, it is said that the Northeast has achieved such great results because the European war stimulated the beginning of the Northeast industry. Another reason that can not be ignored is the role played by Fengtian Bank and Huaxing Bank, the two banks will open branches all over the country, absorb tens of thousands of deposits, use the money in the customs to lend to businessmen outside the customs, and carry out a steady stream of blood transfusion to the Northeast, so that most enterprises in the Northeast have a very low threshold for loans, and there is no worry about the rupture of the capital chain, and it is reasonable to achieve such great results.

"In terms of expenditure, the largest expenditure is 60 million yuan in military spending, salaries of government workers, and office expenses totaling about 35.72 million yuan. The railway construction fund is more than 3,500 yuan. More than 800 yuan of highway construction. More than 2,370 yuan of agricultural water conservancy facilities in several places. The total expenditure on education is more than 2,360 yuan, and the further improvement of the medical and health system in the jurisdiction is more than 730 yuan. The expansion of the government-run engine plant, crude oil imports, and petrochemical factories has been established by more than 540 yuan. 15 million to fill last year's shortfall. The rest are unforeseen expenses. This has to be a big commander without swords, once the battle starts, it will be a big gap. ”

"Overall, the balance is still balanced." Qin Yu scratched his head, in addition to this money, he will continue to borrow some foreign debts, but the foreign debts will be invested in the Xiaofengman Hydropower Station. There are shipyards, metal smelting and other fields, it is not enough, in fact, relative to the development of the Northeast industry, the demand for oil will soar, and the oil mine in the Northeast temporarily has industrial exploitation value on a Daqing oilfield. Otherwise, Japan will certainly attack the Northeast with all its strength and bring the Northeast under its rule, and although the Northeast still has some strength at this time, once Japan does its best, the Northeast will still be a little insufficient. Even if we win a few small wars, we may not be able to shake the overall situation.

"The marshal doesn't plan to use troops abroad again this year?" Tian Helin asked suspiciously, Qin Yu said the same thing last year. However, the big battle was a hole, fortunately every time it was won, and the income of the Middle East Road also filled the consumption of the war, and the Middle East Road was obtained, and the economic development along the railway made the benefits more and more obvious. And the first battle of Boli also consumed a lot of money, and the non-combat attrition was strict, but it was won. With the Heilongjiang fleet in hand, the Heilongjiang waterway will be completely used by the Northeast. The same collection is huge. But this qiē is all based on winning. With Qin Yu's aggressiveness, Tian Helin did not believe that there was no military action in the year of the newcomer.

"How many hard days have passed, and it is inevitable to use troops outside the territory, the territory has expanded, and the population under the rule has increased, and this plate is naturally getting bigger and bigger." Qin Yu smiled. "Besides, the chaos in the Guannai, only the scenery in the northeast is not good, relying on our northeast alone, it is difficult to develop to the point of competing with the Japanese army, and one person is short. Only by gaining more population and land, after some years of development, can the lost sovereignty be regained. ”

Tian Helin opened his mouth to say something, and after a while, he retracted the words that came to his mouth, thinking about it, there has not been a year in the Northeast in the past few years that is very rich, and the money is always insufficient, but on the whole, it is still developing in a benign direction. But Qin Yu not only took the vast and sparsely populated Heilongjiang, but also took Jilin, both places are far poorer than Fengtian, but after a year or two, the two provinces have been merged with Fengtian Province into an iron plate.

"Marching and fighting, food and clothing, no money is absolutely impossible, but some things cannot be measured only from the perspective of money, and the opportunity to integrate the forces of the Republic of China is missed now, and when there is money and soldiers in the future, you may have to pay a greater price. Well, how are the recent factories preparing? Qin Yu sighed, if the conditions allowed, where would he be willing to toss, and leave some things to the people below to do, I don't know how leisurely it is.

"Some of them have started work one after another, and some of them have to wait for a while because the technicians from Germany have not yet arrived. Tian Helin handed a copy of the text to Qin Yudao.

Qin Yu took the text and opened it, which were some factories opened in the Northeast according to the technical forces introduced during this time, including hardware, machinery manufacturing, heavy oil refining, aviation gasoline, diesel, optical factories, machine tool factories, dyes, medicines, pesticides, etc. They are all factories with relatively high added value, and they are also some areas that the Northeast must master by itself. Although there is no war in Europe, once these factories are opened, the economy of the Northeast will usher in another take-off. The total annual financial income of a province in Guannai is only more than 10,000, while the annual output value of a factory in the West is often hundreds of thousands, or even millions, which is more than the income of a county in Guannai, and some are equivalent to half a province.

"In any case, we must also set up this batch of factories, and the other is the issue of immigration, although there is now a special fund for immigration, but now it is different from before, the Heilongjiang waterway has been completely charged, and the immigration efforts over there can be further increased." Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, wait for Heilongjiang to fill with enough Han people, and then gradually develop towards Boli. If you get Shandong, or Henan, Shaanxi, and other places, these places often have droughts or something, and then it will be much easier to organize immigrants to the north than now. Thinking of this, Qin Yu became more eager to get Shandong.

"Hmph, honest people can also play tricks, and Cao Zhongshan, a market man, doesn't want to think about where today's status comes from. I regret that I shouldn't have held it to such a high position in the first place. Duan Qirui is known for his hard temper, he is a very senior person, when Yuan Shikai trained in the town, a large number of talents such as Beiyang Sanjie emerged, Duan Qirui is one of the oldest people, I didn't expect that Cao Kun, who was too lazy to look at it at that time, would become a problem in the heart at this time. The threat is even greater than that of Feng Guozhang, an old man. At this time, Wu Peifu, Yan Xiangwen and other military ministers were stagnant on the front line, Wu Peifu even drank and wrote poems, but he didn't ask about the war, and the commander of the division dared to openly send a report to scold him as the prime minister of a country, so that Duan Qirui hated Wu Peifu at the same time, he naturally hated Cao Kun, if it weren't for Cao Kun's lack of strictness. Secretly acquiescing, where can a small division commander have such courage.

The direct generals can't be counted on for the time being, but Duan Zhigui, Zhang Jingyao and others, who were born in the Anhui family, are guys who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, so they have high hopes for them and have enough status, once the war starts. It's all guys. The direct army that can fight is no longer fighting, and even the people of the Anhui system are now getting by on the front line. Is it true that the strategy of unifying the country by force will not work?

"Supervise!" Jin Yunpeng walked into the room hurriedly. There was an anxious look on his face, as if something big had happened. At this time, the strategy of unifying the whole country by force failed, Duan Qirui took the blame and resigned, and the newly appointed Xu Shichang appointed him as the supervisor of the war in view of the fact that Duan Qirui's power was still there, and he was in charge of managing the affairs of the army participating in the war. said that it was a participating army, but in fact it was completely Duan Qirui's private army, and no one could command it except Duan Qirui.

"It can't be that Wu Xiucai said something on the front line, sooner or later he will have to take off his military position." Duan Qirui said angrily. In fact, Wu Peifu is Cao Kun's person, and he can't control it now.

"No, Fengtian Qin Yu's telegram." Jin Yunpeng usually kept warm in front of Duan Qirui, but he was also afraid that Duan Qirui would lose his temper, so he handed the telegram to Duan Qirui with some worry, and then stood aside, secretly screaming in his heart, if he didn't come soon, he wouldn't come sooner, just in time for this gun.

"Bastard, what a Qin Yu, but a yellow-mouthed child, he also talks about state affairs in vain, he really thinks that after a few battles, he will be invincible in the world." Duan Qirui looked at the telegram, and his nose suddenly turned crooked, "The central finances have decayed to such a degree, is it the fault of one of my Duan people?" It is unreasonable to ask me to disband the army that participated in the war! ”

"Supervisor, since the defeat of Zhang Xun's pigtail army, the Northeast has rarely intervened in Beijing's affairs in the past year or so. The Northeast Army has been an army for a long time, well-equipped, and has recovered the Middle East Road, both morale and prestige are at the highest point, with a great victory and rolling south, it is really a strong opponent in the life of the superintendent. ”

Jin Yunpeng's face was cautious and authentic, if it is said that the participating army becomes an army, whether it is the strength of the army, or the equipment, it is outstanding in the country, although Cao Kun has both hands, but Jin Yunpeng may not put the other party in his eyes, Cao Kun can fight the troops are only so many people, and the strength is not as good as the participating army, as for the equipment, the personnel are more than a step different from the participating army, and the participating army at this time can be described as a soldier, but at the moment there is a big trouble with the henchmen of the direct army.

The Northeast Army is an unstoppable tiger, and defeating Zhang Xun's pigtail army can only be regarded as a small test. What is really chilling is that the first battle of the Middle East Road defeated 100,000 Russian troops, which not only played the momentum of the Republic of China, but also played the prestige of the first strongest army of the Republic of China. From the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of the Republic of China, the Middle Road War was the first time that China won a large-scale war with a foreign country. Warlords from all over the Kannai will take a look at Tohokugao.

"There is a direct army in front of you, and there is a Northeast Army in the back, what is the patience of it?" Duan Qirui's face was pale, when the manpower was poor, Duan Qirui didn't have any good way, if it was a direct army, it was not enough to be afraid, the problem was that the East Economic Army was not only strong in strength but also above the participating army, and could fight well, even in the war in Boli, Duan Qirui had also heard of it, after all, when he was in this position, it was not easy to hide such a big thing from him. It's just that later the Northeast and Japan were gone, which made Duan Qirui extremely jealous. Although Duan Qirui seems to be close to the Japanese, it is not easy to sit in the top position of the Republic of China.

If Boli wins the first battle, he will inevitably make a big deal of propaganda and expand the Japanese sphere of influence in the northeast. The possibility of Tohoku winning against Japan is very small, and if there is a gain, if the opportunity to become famous is even more unlikely to be missed, it has long been reported to everyone. The only possibility is an undefeated game, or a small setback in the northeast, and the Japanese side also loses. Under the intervention of the British and American powers, the two sides once again aimed the spearhead at the great enemy of Red Russia.

Even so, it is appalling enough to be able to barely resist the Japanese army, and it can be said that it is a bit of a fluke to win the battle on the Middle East Road before, after all, Russia has sunset, and the Russian army entrenched in the Middle East Road has become a rootless Ping, Qin Yu suddenly attacked, and there is indeed a lot of hope for victory, but Japan, as a military power with great arrogance, can fight with Japan with real swords and guns, and can retreat with all his body, without being blackmailed by Japan, such strength is simply unimaginable for the warlords in Kannai.

"Supervise, relying on our family alone still has a seventy percent chance of winning against the direct family, and I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the Northeast Army, which has been recuperating in the past few years. Qin Yu is entrenched in the three eastern provinces, sitting on the Rehe River, Chahar, and the Mongolian royal family looks up to him. Its territory has been in operation for several years, and it has become an iron plate, sitting on the mountains and seas, and it can be attacked and defended. It is extremely difficult to deal with, but Qin Yu is sharp, and he has a long history with the Japanese side, and it is impossible for the Japanese side to sit idly by and watch Qin Yu enter Beijing, or use the Japanese power to balance the northeast, so that he does not dare to act rashly, and the superintendent will seize the time to clean up the situation in the customs and solve the direct threat. At that time, even if the Northeast Army goes south, why be afraid? Le Yunpeng thought for a moment, except for relying on the Japanese, Qirui really had no other way to go at this time.

"This method is good, just do it, although the Northeast Army is famous, but I have also been to Japan, You Zheng has studied in Japan for several years, and knows the Japanese military system well, as far as equipment is concerned, the army is completely in accordance with the Japanese army training. In terms of equipment, it should be above the Northeast Army, if it were not for the direct line of Cao Kun's elbow control at this time, the two armies would fight, and it was still unknown who would kill the deer, as long as the Japanese side could hold Qin Yu's main force of the Northeast Army, the participating army would be enough to clean up the situation in the Guannei. Duan Qirui had high hopes for the participating army at this time, and the Gongxian Arsenal began to produce munitions, but Duan Qirui was too far away from the battlefield after all, and he didn't know much about the new weapons that had appeared in the Western battlefield in recent years.
