Chapter 143: The General Trend (6)

"The important thing is armament! Armaments! Liu Yun interrupted Wen Yi impatiently.

"The basis of armaments is the stability of internal affairs and the development of the economy, and just now I talked about internal affairs, and now I want to talk about economic issues." Wen Yi was not in a hurry at all.

"Go on." Liu Yun pressed his forehead slightly sweaty, and he didn't know why he was so irritable about him.

"As far as armaments are concerned, first of all, the transportation industry, the current railway density of the empire is not high, and the highway grade is generally low, for the sake of promoting circulation and economic prosperity, and for the sake of the mobilization and supply efficiency of the army in the future, we must attach great importance to the development of transportation, especially the construction of railways connecting the interior and the frontier, and the situation that our army was trapped in a supply bottleneck in the Asian-Russian War should not be repeated."

"The second is the energy industry, the foundation of modern industry is built on the full supply of various energy sources, we must increase investment in coal, electricity and oil, especially oil, in the Asian-Russian war we spent millions of pounds on gasoline imports alone, although we know where there are oil fields, but China's oil field geological structure is more complex, not as easy to explore and develop as shallow oil fields in Eastern Europe, America and West Asia, so in the history of that time and space China was once considered an oil-poor country, Considering the premise of being blockaded during the war, it is necessary to increase investment at all costs, combine the import of key equipment with the development of local technology, establish a complete petroleum industrial system, and achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency in oil. ”

"Again, it is to further improve the efficiency of agricultural production, to meet the demand for raw materials and labor for industrialization, agricultural reform is a huge system engineering, up to now, we have only made some improvements at the level of the branches, the general direction of rural reform should be rural autonomy and agricultural cooperation, the decentralized and independent system of small yeoman farmers and the backward old-style tenant system can not meet the needs of the country's overall industrialization, the countryside must be politically self-reliant, economic cooperation, as some areas have begun to experiment, Under the premise that the land reform has been completed, the villagers and villagers are all employees of the company, and under the premise that the land reform has been completed, they will take their own land as shares, elect a board of directors, hire knowledgeable and experienced department managers, raise funds together, and purchase machinery, fertilizers and seeds for high-yield crops from all over the country according to market needs, or combine agriculture and industry, open agricultural product processing factories in the local area, take local materials for processing, or organize and carry out business, all kinds of ways, all kinds of ways are ...... to say."

"I've heard that hundreds of such experimental companies are on the verge of bankruptcy......

"Therefore, it is necessary for the state to support in terms of funds, technology and education, and the first task is to reduce the land purchase debt that is tightly oppressed on the peasants, and the baby will die soon if he has no clothes, no milk, and no medicine to eat, and most of the babies are still healthy."

"In this way, the local peasant associations have formed a strong force...... Liu Yun's head turned for a long time, and finally he thought of the ancient word "peasant association" related to a certain democratic revolution.

"Yes, the next step is to organize the workers to form a truly powerful trade union, and the weak must unite closely, so that it is possible to limit the unlimited greed of capital and the unlimited power of the government." Wen Yi's eyes lit up, as if the darkness had broken through at this moment.

"In any case, in order to fight a war, whether it is a trade union or a peasant union, it must be based on the premise of preparing for war, all schools must arrange military training classes, peasant unions and trade unions must organize special national defense education and military drills for non-reserve soldiers, and they must propagate the idea of serving the country through production, so that everyone can strive to increase production efficiency under the encouragement of patriotic ideas, and at the same time be prepared to endure temporary suffering for the country......

"I'm thinking about what will happen in 20 or 30 years."

"I only think about what will happen in 10 years, and in 10 years, we will fight the world war, and we must seize the opportunity."

"According to your meaning, within 3 years, a war between the European and American alliances against the East Asian alliance will break out! Germany can be phoenix nirvana after the defeat of World War I, because Europe cannot maintain balance without a strong Germany, and the great powers will certainly not think that there should be a strong China in Asia to compete with them for colonial interests, in any case, the key is to rectify internal affairs, develop the economy, and obtain the greatest benefits with the least sacrifice, this is not the starting point for us to choose the road of reform rather than revolution? ”

The half-dead silence lasted only thirty seconds.

Liu Yun stood up, his eyes blazing: "The internal affairs or something will be handed over to you, I, the prime minister, am just a temporary agent, I have said, you are in charge of politics, I am in charge of the military, no matter how you want to reform, how to develop the economy, in the final analysis, you must focus on the preparation for war, diplomacy can show weakness, the military can not relax, even if you do not immediately participate in the war at that time, with a strong national strength, military strength and an efficient war mobilization system, you will have the bargaining chip to seek the greatest national interests in the troubled times, This is my fundamental proposition, and I do not mean to insist on militarizing this country! ”

Wen Yi did not hesitate to meet the burning gaze: "I believe in you, please also believe in me, believe in Zhang Zhigao and them, we rely on unity to survive, but also rely on unity to achieve ideals, immediately convene a meeting of all members of the group to discuss the overall national strategy in the future, in addition to being open and honest, brainstorming, the most important thing is to unify our thoughts, we can no longer afford the second Ding Jieyun incident." ”

"This is also the problem I have been thinking about, Ding Jieyun incident......"

As soon as he remembered that the three missing generals had not been heard from so far, Liu Yun felt like he was stuck in his throat.

"In addition, there are two most urgent matters at present, the first is to withdraw troops from the Chita region in accordance with the treaty, and the second is to send an effective mission to Europe and the United States to fully convey our country's will for peace, at least formally."

"I originally planned to send Zhang Zhigao there, but since he was going to hold a group discussion, he had to stay, who do you think would be better to send?"

"Foreign Minister Chen Siguang is too pro-German and is not conducive to making friends with Britain and France. In terms of qualifications and talents, because the former Foreign Minister Zeng Jize led a delegation there, but he has been sick at home since the signing of the New York Peace Treaty. Only the current Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, former Minister to Britain, France, Italy and Spain, Baron Chen Jitong is the most suitable, he has been in Europe for 14 years, has extensive contacts with European political and cultural circles, and he has also written many books in French, translated into many languages and distributed in Europe and the United States, whether in the history of that time or the reality of this time and space, he is a well-known figure in Europe. ”

"Understood, it's Chen Jitong, then, say goodbye first, and then call if you have something."

The black, unadorned telephone sat silently on the small square table by the window.

Await.

The disappearance of the two.
