"Can we start?" Yang Zhengjin reminded his leader in a whisper.

Only then did Liu Yun realize that he had been in a daze for a long time.

Is it really old? I haven't felt it for so long, I have too many things on my mind.

"Everyone is here, let's get started. The general discussion has been going on for more than a month, and everyone has expressed their opinions, and the wise have their own opinions. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and the eyes of different emotions intertwined and converged on Liu Yun's seemingly decaying face—no one could be sure how much power was hidden behind that mask that others could not grasp.

"I suggest that Yang Zhengjin speak first." Liu Yun continued.

Being a leader is an honor for Yang Zhengjin, or rather, the price he must pay to maintain his position.

Everyone reflexively showed their sleepiness, and it was not so easy to resist this huge sleepy insect of Yang Zhengjin.

However, this time, Yang Zhengjin spoke sonorously and powerfully, and his voice penetrated through the brain marrow, which was similar to the previous dormant and low-key posture.

"I'm not going to make a long report this time, but I just want to confirm one thing, is there anyone here who thinks that we have built a complete system of large industry?"

Niu Jin, the current Minister of Communications, touched his fat chin and replied: "Of course not, the current industrial technology of the empire has not yet reached the point where it can be upgraded by itself without relying on external support, and many key equipment still needs to be imported, after all, the foundation is thin and the foundation is poor, and most of the advanced technologies we bring are difficult to release, especially the high-level working machine, which is definitely not a ...... that can be created by knowing how to build it."

He Xin, the current minister of science and technology, squinted his mouse eyes: "There are still a lot of achievements, 10,000-ton freighters and warships have been built, airplanes and airships have also been put into the battlefield, and the output of coal and steel has been rising......

"Design madman" Jiang Wentao is more serious than anyone else when he talks about the right thing: "The important thing is the machine tool, you can't produce advanced machine tools by yourself, and you can't upgrade your own technology, in other words, you can't use machines to produce more advanced machines, and you can only import machine tools to foreign countries to develop more advanced technology, which is not only costly, but also far from meeting the demand. ”

"There is still a shortage of scientific research talents and senior technicians, more than half of the people are still illiterate, and most of the children of workers and peasants, not to mention junior high school, cannot even afford to go to high school, it is time to popularize nine to twelve years of free compulsory education, and now the level of education popularization in the empire is still not comparable to that of Japan, which was defeated by us, and this is the real shame! What do you say about going west and south, do you have to rely on an illiterate army to conquer the world? Russellan was prickly in his words.

Zhong Xiahuo glanced at Luo Sulan viciously, obviously he was stabbed the deepest.

Niu Jin continued: "Originally, the plan was to build a complete large-scale industrial system within 25 to 30 years from 1890, and then we could gradually release most of the advanced technology we brought, provided that we could freely obtain all levels of industrial equipment and mature supporting technology from developed countries......

Zhong Xiahuo interrupted Niu Jin impatiently: "Originally, I should have considered that it would be blockaded by the great powers, what is the meaning of saying this kind of thing now, even if a complete industrial system cannot be built, with the current human and material base, it is not a problem to completely defeat Russia at all, will the great powers really fight for Russia?" ”

Zhang Zhigao said coldly: "If the treaty is torn up now, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the whole of Europe, first the European banking group, followed by the Jakarta incident, and then the Kaiser's Christmas speech, two days ago, the European banking group expanded into the European and American banking group, and in the past two months, the restrictions on the export of industrial equipment by the major powers have shown that the hostile attitude of Europe and the United States towards our country has ......increased dramatically day by day."

"What is hostility, if they have the ability, they will send troops, they will send the army, we will mobilize, expand the army to five or six million people, see who has more soldiers, they send the navy, we will build thousands of planes, hang torpedoes to clean them up, now no one can defeat us! Take advantage of the old Maozi's nest to fight, and take down Siberia in one go, Captain Liu! Zhong Xiahuo set his expectant gaze on Liu Yun, but he didn't expect Liu Yun to look at him.

"Old Zhong, save it, the revolutionary party in Russia has been suppressed." Hooker, one of the Big Three, said.

"God of Wealth" Han Lang couldn't help but speak: "In the autumn of this year, Yunnan, Fujian, Gansu, Jiangxi and Shuntianfu were hit by floods, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Guangdong were hit by drought, and after the winter, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia were hit by snowstorms...... Since the beginning of winter, the 500,000 garrisons in Chita and the 300,000 civilians serving the garrison have spent an average of 1.5 million yuan a day, and the treasury bonds that were swallowed by the oppressive consortium two or three months ago have long been emptied, and now all the reserves for next year are spent, and the foreign banking groups have long since stopped lending us......

Zhong Xiahuo asked forcefully: "Can't you fight without money?" It should be immediately transferred to the militaristic system, all property should be confiscated, daily necessities should be rationed by the state, conscription should be effectively implemented, the strongest should go to war, and the rest should be divided into factories and farms...... Only a Spartan empire can conquer the world as quickly as possible! ”

Han Lang shook his head again and again: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Zhang Zhigao whispered in Wen Yi's ear: "Crazy." ”

Wen Yi sneered: "That is, Ding Jieyun's second ......"

Hu Ke didn't care that Zhong Xiahuo was by his side, and said loudly: "Old Zhong, put away your unrealistic things first, the current topic is the problem that Lao Yang just raised, the problem of industrialization, no industrialization, what conquest, what occupation, all are empty words, this is still Lao Yang himself." ”

Zhong Xiahuo was shy and brainy, but it was not good to attack in front of the leader, his face suddenly turned red, his fists clenched, and his two conspiratorial accomplices—Zhang Yaoqian and Liu Bailiang—shrank aside and remained silent.

Yang Zhengjin, like the spokesperson of the leader, held his head high, looked around the crowd, and continued to speak in a rare high-pitched tone: "If Hook wants me to say, then I will briefly say that I believe that the rich and powerful Chinese empire we want to build must first achieve industrialization and establish a complete large-scale industrial system, and all our current work should be carried out around this goal." ”

"When it comes to economic issues, I am a master of the class in front of several economists, but as far as I know, industrialization is only three roads: one is the advanced countries of Europe and the United States, which first established a modern heavy industry system, deprived and squeezed backward regions with technological and military superiority, and unequally exchanged high-profit technology and products for cheap resources and labor from underdeveloped countries, and established the most developed and complete large-scale industrial system; Second, just like Japan in our time and space, although it is a rising country, it can gradually complete the large-scale industrial system that can be upgraded by itself by reducing domestic consumption and implementing industrial protection policies on the one hand, and by depriving and squeezing backward areas with relatively strong military power to obtain industrial development funds on the other hand. ”

"When it comes to the third category, it's actually Russia and China in our time and space. When the Soviet Union and China rose, the cheap resources and labor in other parts of the world had been carved up by the developed countries, and the Soviet Union and China themselves were big countries in terms of resources and labor, so they could only adopt the means of forcibly reducing domestic consumption to obtain funds for the rapid development of the large industrial system, and at the same time, due to the blockade by foreign countries, they were able to prevent the destructive competition of the advanced countries, and established an imperfect large industrial system. However, after the deformed reform and opening up of the two countries, the originally imperfect large-scale industrial system was seriously impacted, the top scientific research talents trained by the state at huge expenditures were lost abroad one after another, and a large number of skilled workers who had been strictly organized and trained by the large-scale industrial system were unemployed, dispersed, and aging, with the result that Russia was reduced to a supplier of cheap resources, and China was reduced to a supplier of cheap labor, and the economies of the two countries were generally seriously export-oriented, becoming a new type of semi-colony in the industrial system of the world. It may be a mean statement, but even the defectors of the task force, which set out 14 years after us, admit that our country has indeed become a factory of the world—a filthy factory supported by foreign technology and capital, with meager profits, poor workers, and at any moment abandonment by foreign capital! Russia has completely become a big pit controlled by foreign capital! It can be said that in our time and space, the industrialization of Russia and China failed, and it was buried at the hands of the bureaucratic comprador clique. ”

"Having said all that, the key is to point out the path we should take."

Yang Zhengjin paused deliberately.

"There is nothing to say, of course it is the Japanese way, domestic control and external expansion at the same time, so take the opportunity of the war against Russia to achieve a highly controlled militaristic system in one fell swoop!" Zhong Xiahuo seemed to have found a breakthrough, and suddenly became excited again.

"It takes a few times to understand that now is not the time for war! Saving money for industry and education is the way to go! Funds, funds, we lack funds, even the development of existing domestic resources is a problem, there is no effort to invest in Siberia at all! Not to mention draining the whole country to occupy it! Han Lang exclaimed impatiently.
