Chapter 247 to build a car factory

"The Northeast Army is really a benevolent and righteous army." Zhang Guogan and Cai Yuanpei, Zhou Yichun and other principals of famous schools in Beijing came to see them off.

Watching tens of thousands of troops rushing to the train station, Zhang Guogan couldn't help sighing, "Several times in the provinces of the Republic of China, regardless of morale, military appearance, and achievements, the Northeast Army is worthy of the title of the strongest army in the Republic of China." ”

"Yes, to be strong, not to bully. Dare to compete with the great powers, can fight well, and has strict military discipline is none other than the Northeast Army. Zhou Yichun saw the neat queue when the Northeast Army left, and couldn't help but praise, "If the army of the Republic of China is like the Northeast Army, then the prosperity of the nation is promising." ”

Although his time in Beijing was not long, Qin Yu easily solved the problem of arrears of education funds in Beijing and Tianjin, coupled with his previous efforts in education in Northeast China, Qin Yu's reputation in the education world has already left other local warlords far behind.

At this time, in addition to some dignitaries, more teachers and students from several schools came to see them off.

When the pigtail army entered Beijing and Zhang Xun gained power for a short time, the soldiers of the pigtail army did not buy tickets to watch the play, and they did not need money to buy things, and it became commonplace to flirt with women from good families. Although the soldiers of the other army did not say that Qiu did not commit any crimes, occasionally one or two disturbing incidents were too far from the pigtail army. The military discipline of these armies is already good, but compared with the Northeast Army, it is much worse, just looking at the marching formation, the Northeast Army looks more like a regular army, the Northeast Army is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, when entering Beijing to buy goods, there is no bullying and domineering.

And the distinctive equipment of the Northeast Army made Beijing serve the common people, and the citizens easily distinguished it from the soldiers of other troops. With these comparisons, the military discipline of the Northeast Army made Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Guogan and others feel that it is particularly valuable.

"If the Northeast Army can be stationed in Beijing. It is also a blessing for the Republic of China. Cai Yuanpei said.

"It's a pity that due to the development of the situation, things often go as desired, but as long as Yushuai is still there, the Northeast Army will always exist. With Yushuai outside the customs, there is no need to worry about the rights and interests outside the customs overflowing into the hands of Japan and Russia. Zhang Guogan seemed to comfort several people in the education circle.

"I can only think like this, there can be rain and handsome in the Northeast. It is really a blessing for tens of millions of people in the Northeast, and my colleagues who went to Fengtian before have been telling me how good Fengtian is, and I am still skeptical, but now I have seen Yu Shuai's style, which is no longer doubtful. Cai Yuanpei said, "I also want to see what kind of magic this Fengtian has, which can recruit most of the elites in the education circle of the Republic of China." ”

Cai Yuanpei was talking here, Qin Yu had already taken the train to the north.

"It seems that the people in Beijing also think that the handsome is good." Li Yinpei looked through the car window at the crowded send-off team outside. sighed, "When I come to Beijing, I always have some gains. ”

"Leaving now is for a comeback in the future." Qin Yu looked at everything outside the car window and smiled easily, if the Northeast established its own military industrial enterprise, and the weapons could be completely self-sufficient, Qin Yu might not give in so easily this time, and the war was fought with a guy. With the support of Japan, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang will not have this trouble. If you concentrate to fight a big battle and use the hole cards of the Northeast Army, Qin Yu is also confident that he will solve the problem in one battle, but the strength of the Beiyang Group is scattered in more than a dozen provinces, and no matter how much the Northeast Army can fight, there is no way to clean up the past one by one.

The force was dispersed to several provinces. The cohesion will also be greatly reduced, that is, the current subordinates, after scattering out, are not as easy to bring as before, and compared to the country. Qin Yu is even more interested in the Ministry of Accidents, the foundation of the country is here, and he can come again in the future, and the situation in the Far East, after this village, there will be no such shop. In short, before the two systems of Zhiwan and Anhui were separated from Germany, it was difficult for Qin Yu to control Guannei.

Although the biggest benefit of this trip was taken away by Duan Qirui, Qin Yu also got the position of the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces and the envoy of the Mongolian economy, and the commanders of Rehe and Chahar will soon be replaced, as for whether Li Yuanhong's position as president can be kept, it depends on whether Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang fight fiercely later, and it is not in the scope of consideration for the time being.

"Dashuai's trip to Beijing has been hard." Lan Tianwei, Tian Helin and other civil and military officials picked up Qin Yu at Fengtian Railway Station.

"It's not very bitter, it's just running back and forth, not getting any benefits, and I'm just a little unhappy in my heart." Seeing these familiar faces, Qin Yu's mood also improved, where could he stay at ease in Mukden in the days of intrigue in Beijing. I'm afraid that only people like Duan Qirui who are keen on power can not feel tired.

"The handsome man went to Beijing, and the world was shaken. Not only has he got the post of patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, but also Rehe, Chahar, and Qinhuangdao City, which occupies five counties, this is not a benefit, what can be counted? ”

Tian Helin said with a smile, Rehe, Chahar not to mention, the location is a little remote, Qinhuangdao is different, everywhere on the Bohai coast, has rich coastal resources, and has the Jingfeng Railway as the backing, as a commercial port, it is better than Huludao in nature. The export of materials from the Northeast has another important location. Both Tian Helin and Du Liming believe that in the future, Qinhuangdao will play a greater role than Rehe and Chahar.

Qin Yu is just joking, Rehe, Chahar population is not large, not rich, but after all, the direct jurisdiction of the place has expanded a lot, the mineral deposits of the two places are also a valuable wealth, the capital of Rehe Chengde is only one hundred and sixty or seventy kilometers away from Beijing, although there are two hundred and dozens of kilometers from Qinhuangdao, but there is a railway as the backing, relatively speaking, it is more convenient.

Everyone walked while talking, Qin Yu had been in Beijing for more than a month, and there were many things to refamiliarize himself with here in Fengtian.

When he arrived at the office, Ding Cheng ran over, holding a document in his hand, "I was about to send a telegram to Dashuai, but I didn't expect Dashuai to come back directly." ”

"What, is there anything to tell you good news?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"It's really a good thing, Wang Zhu and a few people have come up with the first fighter in Fengtian and named it Wolf Smoke." Ding Cheng put the document in his hand on Qin Yu's desk and said.

"Beacon fire, wolf smoke, but with the bombers. What about performance? Qin Yu put the document aside, where did he remember the performance parameters of the advanced fighters of various countries now.

"The total length of the wolf smoke fuselage is 5.73 meters. The wingspan is 8.14 meters, the height is 2.36 meters, the empty weight of the whole aircraft is 427 kg, and the maximum take-off weight is 669 kg. The maximum flight speed is 189 kilometers per hour, and the cruising range is 2.8 hours. , engine power 108.2 kW, two Browning aviation machine guns. Six 11-kilogram bombs can be suspended under the wings. ”

In view of the unprecedented combat power of the aircraft in the previous combat missions, the military department of the Northeast Army attaches great importance to the aircraft, which is a weapon that can quickly close the comparison with the Japanese army's strength, and even surpass the Japanese army, in the field of traditional artillery, it is difficult for the Northeast Army at this time to defeat Japan as a great power, although the artillery wing of a Japanese army division adds up to only 48 75MM mountain guns. Field artillery, of which mountain artillery is the mainstay, most of them are 38 type. However, the Japanese army often added other artillery units to it during the combat period. Before the formation of a military industrial system in the Northeast, the artillery was to knock out one less and one less. However, the Japanese army could rely on the domestic arsenal to continuously replenish it, which was a great loss to the Northeast.

However, now the appearance of aircraft can hit the Japanese artillery from the air, and the advantages of both sides are suddenly reversed.

"Compared to the storm. Overall performance has improved slightly, but with the exception of a slightly more noticeable increase in range. Otherwise, there is not much difference. Ding Chengdao.

"In any case, it can be regarded as the first fighter developed by Fengtian alone, which is already a major breakthrough in history." Qin Yu smiled, "Let the aircraft factory make persistent efforts, one eye on the new aircraft that appear in the world, and one eye on their own manufacturing." In addition, there is one more thing, Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, and Ma Tianhao have all been pulled back, and there will be no changes in the improvement of the storm fighter, right? ”

"The aircraft factory is also working on the improvement of the Tempest. Before the successful development of Fiberhome, Feiying Company introduced a production license from Fengtian and obtained relevant technologies, and the cooperation between the two places was more justified. Ding Chengdao.

"That's the best thing that is, but after all, we will have to separate the family." There will be no problem if it is too close now, but in the future, when the Republic of China becomes strong and becomes a pivotal presence in East Asia, the United States will raise its sense of secrecy about the army's main fighters and bombers. However, there are some difficult techniques that can be exchanged with each other and learn from each other's strengths. However, before the separation, there is also a transition between them, after all, most of the first-class aircraft designers have been transferred back to Mukden, and no matter how good the storm is, if the improved version is not launched in time, I am afraid that it will soon be left behind by the new models that appear on the European battlefield. Just for the huge profits of tens of millions of dollars on the US side and the growing aircraft market in the future, Qin Yu will never easily give up the market dominance of the United States.

"By the way, the central government has recently decided to make adjustments to the personnel arrangements of Rehe and Chahar, and you will go to the two positions on my behalf to meet the commanders of the two places, and the handover work can be completed smoothly." Qin Yu thought of the personnel transfer that the central government was about to release and ordered.

"The marshal has already returned with his troops, and there won't be any repetition, after all, there are two or three million people combined, and the area is not small." Ding Cheng asked.

"What can I repeat, I can go back to Guanwai, and I can go out again, with Duan Qirui's character, I won't be so untreated." Qin Yu said disapprerovingly.

"Arrange the things in hand, leave tomorrow, and go to Rehe first." Ding Cheng nodded, since Qin Yu was so sure, this matter should be inseparable.

"There is another thing, General Manager Du sent a document yesterday afternoon, saying that Russia has recently entered the northeast with several large sums of money, totaling no less than 26 million yuan." Ding Cheng suddenly remembered something, "The document is now in the adjutant's office." ”

"yes, that's pretty good."

Qin Yudao said that since the establishment of Fengtian Bank, as a government-run bank, it is inevitable that there will be more preferential administration, but Huaxing Bank has been established for a long time, and the foundation is thicker, attacking cities and plundering land everywhere in the Republic of China, and because Qin Yu has close contacts with Tsarist Russia and the United States. The outward expansion of Huaxing Bank is also far from being comparable to Fengtian Bank at this time. Du Liming also made great efforts to absorb deposits from Tsarist Russia, and through interest rates that were more than double that of other banks, he absorbed a large number of deposits from Belarus that had emigrated to Heilongjiang, Mukden and other places.

As for Huayang Financial Investment, which was newly established by Huaxing Bank, the investment institutions invested a large number of these absorbed deposits in their own country and in the United States. chemicals, banks and other stocks. Although Huayang Financial Investment was established relatively late. The interest paid is only a drop in the bucket compared to the income. This year alone, Huayang Rongtou's income is enough to reach a jaw-dropping level.

The high interest is only for one or two years, and after the end of the European war, the interest will still have to be adjusted back, and then Russia will blow the horn of the October Revolution, and the domestic situation will be in turmoil for several years, and the Russians who have settled in the northeast will have no more choice. After all, only a small number of people choose to leave. After all, stable Belarusian settlements had already formed in the northeast at this time. Especially in Heilongjiang, the number of Belarusians is even larger, and the number of troops to protect the Middle East road is close to 60,000, and the territory of Fengtian Province has also exceeded 10,000, and there are also some in Jilin.

There is still considerable potential to be tapped in these rich Belarusians.

Ding Cheng reported to Qin Yu about his work, which was all about some major events in the Northeast recently. Qin Yu had a general understanding and spent a lot of time, waiting for Ding Cheng to come out. Qin Yu picked up the phone and dialed Du Liming directly. "Liming, I read the report of Huaxing Bank, it is very good, and we will increase the work of the people of Tsarist Russia in the future, but you must pay attention to one thing in the European war, once the American army lands on the European battlefield. This war is almost coming to an end, once the war is over, you also know what it means to prepare for these war supplies, there is an old saying that after the chaos there must be a great order, some speculative business can be played. Don't put too much hope in your mind. Huayang Financial Investment's investment direction should be appropriately adjusted, and you, a financial talent, should know better than me. ”

"Well, Huayang Rongtou's goal behind is to expand and invest in electricity, transportation, energy, and finance. This aspect is already being adjusted. "Du Liming's side must be authentic.

"That's how worried I am." Qin Yu smiled, "How is the arrangement for the introduction of Buick and Ford production patents and the installation of assembly lines?" ”

Fengtian wants to set up its own automobile industry, which Qin Yu expressed to Du Liming very early on, from the purchase of the first batch of trucks to now, several years have passed, in Changtao Highway, Fengtian, Anshan, Benxi, Xinmin and other places, there have been a certain number of car maintenance points, as well as a small number of spare parts production, repair shops. The problem was also solved after the gasoline for cars was put into operation at the refinery in Huludao. The rubber needed for tires came into existence when rubber carriage tires were introduced. Although the foundation of the automobile industry in Northeast China at this time was almost blank and there was only one more horizontal on the paper, it was reasonable to establish its own automobile factory.

"The production patent for Buick cars has been completed at the end of last month, and the production line of engines and other related spare parts will arrive in Fengtian within two months." Du Liming said on the phone, "Buick is a brand owned by General Motors, if this can't be done, Zhang Shun will not be in vain over there." It's a little more difficult for Ford, but Ford's top brass is starting to relent. ”

Qin Yu smiled dumbly, he naturally understood this reason, he just wanted to ask about the progress of building the automobile factory. He is the largest shareholder of General Motors, and GM's current president is also a spokesman for Qin Yu and Zhang Shun. The sale of Buick's production license is nothing to Qin Yu, who has just mastered the power of GM. As for Ford, it is slightly more troublesome, although in the European war, steel is listed as a war readiness management material, coupled with the soaring price of steel, the difficulty of obtaining is more than several times higher than in the past. Ford was also affected somewhat. The Blackjack Group is only the second shareholder in Ford, although it has a certain amount of influence, but it has no decision-making power, for Ford, which is popular for Model T cars all over the world, the Republic of China is not just a small market that is almost invisible. It's no surprise that not much attention has been paid to it.

"If Ford can do it, it will be done, and if it can't, forget it. What about the locomotives, how's it going? Qin Yu said that Ford's most successful place is that it was the first to develop an automobile production line, and Qin Yu's most important place is also Ford's world-leading production model. This has a very good enlightening effect on the large industry of Mukden. It's not that Ford's technology has really reached its peak. As long as the automobile factory can be built, Ford will always be able to grasp the core secrets under the infiltration of Qin Yu. At this time, what the Northeast needs most is transport trucks, and although the market for cars is getting bigger and bigger, it is not yet the mainstream.

"The problem of train locomotives has also been solved, Zhang Shun asked the company in the United States to send a lot of technicians, and some people from Tsarist Russia have also been engaged in the production of locomotives." Du Liming said, answering the questions raised by Qin Yu decently.

"Well, very good, you've worked hard during this time, I'll talk to you next time about specific things."

"Yes, Marshal."

Qin Yu hung up the telegram, and when he rushed home, his butt had not yet fallen on the chair, and Chen Xinyi's complaint was ushered in, "I have been in Beijing for so long, I just returned to Fengtian, and I don't want to go home to see, I am busy with business all day long, don't you also want to learn Dayu to control the water, come to the house three times and not enter, right?" ”

"Where do I have three crossings, and the train station is not on the way home." Qin Yu smiled, stretched out his hand to hug Chen Xinyi, "Come, see if you have gained weight during this time." ”

"Daddy hugs Auntie, shameful face." Qin Ming, who was just a little kid, didn't know when Lu Dao came over, and made a grimace at Qin Yu.

"Stinky boy, let's be naughty and see if Lao Tzu doesn't spank your ass." Qin Yu's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily.

"As soon as you come back, you won't be forbidden, don't teach the child badly." Chen Xinyi slapped Qin Yu with her little hand, and her face turned red.

It feels so good to go home, Qin Yu smiled, and the family atmosphere made him feel warm. (To be continued......)
