The planned economy should be unknown to no one in later generations. However, it was a very rare thing in this era, and it was for this reason that when the Nationalist government issued the 'First Five-Year Plan', so many people at home and abroad were surprised. It is not clear what the effect of this new economic system is, let alone whether it will succeed―――――― but from a certain point of view, there may be more skepticism.

This is not surprising at all, since a new economic system is not so easy to build. What's more, China at that time was just a very ordinary weak country, and it had no international prestige at all, especially in the year when the 'First Five-Year Plan' was launched, at least at that time, China was no different from the country that had been bullied in the past.

After that, the question arises...

How can anyone have confidence in a country that has no prestige or prestige in the international community and suddenly launches a plan that seems to be grandiose, but in fact has not experienced the slightest bit of research...

Therefore, although there were shocks at home and abroad about the 'First Five-Year Plan' and the 'Seventh Five-Year Plan' launched by the Kuomintang, few people thought that the Nationalist government might succeed...

Even in China, there are many voices of skepticism.

Because according to the plans of the national government, almost all of the latest projects are state-owned―――――― state-owned...

This kind of thing is not uncommon in China, such as some state-owned enterprises in the pre-Qing Dynasty. In a way. Those enterprises are state-owned. Another example is the Hanyang Iron Works in Hubei, which was once the largest steel plant in the Far East and was once a state-owned enterprise...

But have these businesses succeeded? No!

Why didn't it work out? In addition to factors such as market and policy. Another biggest factor is that at that time, these enterprises were basically managed by some government bureaucrats, and they did not even have a clue about how to run a business.

In addition, because China was defeated by foreign powers at that time, there was no tariff on foreign goods. On the other hand, domestic goods are not only subject to all kinds of harsh taxes (of course, there are also abroad, but certainly not as much as in China). Even hauling goods on the land of one's own country needs to bear taxes such as 'centigold'.

On the other hand, foreigners' goods do not need to pay any taxes on Chinese soil.

Think about it. If you want to sell goods in your own country, you need to pay countless taxes, while foreigners can get around without hindrance, and you don't even have to pay a penny. Is there such a thing in this world? Equally. In this case, how can the two compete fairly...

Coupled with those bureaucrats, it seems that it is not a strange thing that China's state-run industries failed one after another in the early years―――――― of course, the most important thing is that some bureaucrats at that time always liked to be hot and deviated from the actual situation.

I don't know what exactly the country needs, but I run to build something that seems important, but in fact I can't afford to spend it. Or even something you don't need at all...

Or maybe it's because of some reason, the production cost of the factory is rising. Etcetera. For example, the Hanyang Iron Works at that time, just because of Zhang Zhidong at that time, the production cost of the factory was very high, and it was even more unable to compete with foreign goods without tariff protection.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course, in fact, Yan Shao has also made such a mistake, at least in the eyes of outsiders. For example, the Xiangshan Iron Plant, which was established that year, had an annual output of 100,000 at the beginning, and later expanded to about 1 million.

In fact, at the beginning, Xiangshan Iron Works was indeed in a state of loss. If it weren't for Yan Shao's large income from overseas oil fields and other aspects at that time, and the domestic cotton textile mills and other businesses were not bad, I am afraid that he would have been unable to hold on to it a long time ago.

However, unlike those officials of the former Qing Dynasty, Yan Shao himself is also very aware of this, and the reason why he did this is purely to buy time.

After all, in Yan Shao's view, time is what the country needs most, compared to money, everything is just something outside the body―――――― of course, this is also because he has enough funds, so he can do this.

What is rich? Waywardness is like that.

And his choice does not seem to be wrong, because it is with the foundation of Anhui that China can develop so quickly in the next seven years. Not only in China at that time, it was almost impossible to defeat the Japanese army in Shandong. Even if they can win, I am afraid that it will develop into a kind of all-out war similar to that of later generations, which dragged the Japanese down.

It's just that if it really comes to a certain point, I'm afraid there will be no so-called winners.

Naturally, the role that the Wehrmacht could play in the later expeditions to Europe or something would be even smaller than imagined.

With its previous foundation in Anhui, the Kuomintang not only defeated the Japanese army in Shandong, but also shined in the process of the expedition to Europe, completely establishing the status of the Kuomintang government in the world.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, because of the former Qing Dynasty, the ordinary people were also counted, after all, there were not many people who were even literate in China at that time. After seeing such a grand plan, all they could feel was excitement.

But for the vast majority of intellectuals, all they feel is worry. I am worried that after spending so much money, the government will not get anything in the end, but like some government-run enterprises in the former Qing Dynasty, all the enterprises will collapse in the end, and the money invested in them will not even recover the cost in the end.

But it's no wonder they think so, after all, they don't know much about the Guoshe government and Yan Shao.

Most importantly, they don't know about the government-run enterprises of the former Qing Dynasty. What is the difference between it and ―――――― planned economy, in fact, the so-called five-year plan implemented by Yan Shao is not a planned economy. It is similar to the mixed economy in Germany, but it is closer to the planned economy than the mixed economy in Germany.

Generally speaking, the first idea of a planned economy was born in Liszt's response to Adam? Smith's critique of The Wealth of Nations was the first theoretical exposition of government intervention in economic behavior, and the subsequent "National System of Political Economy" systematically expounded the necessity of government intervention in the economy and its dominance in economic development.

Under its influence, a historical school of economics was born in Germany. Vigorously promote the government's control of economic behavior, and at the same time lead Germany's economic development with this idea, and achieve Germany's rapid economic development. This type of proposition is called state-owned socialism, or 'state capitalism' as it is called, and this model of economic development, which relies on government intervention to implement the planned goals, is essentially similar to the spirit of the planned economy. Later, Germany was defeated in World War I. The government has lost its ability to effectively control international economic relations. The historical school died out, but the German economy still retained a strong character of government intervention, and after the Nazis came to power, they resumed the methods of the historical school and restored the German economy.

Under a planned economy, all three economic issues are decided by the government. The so-called three economic questions are: what to produce, how to produce, and for whom. Most of the country's resources are owned by the government, and resources are allocated by government directives, not by market prices. For example: The government believes that the country needs Apple, under a planned economy. Individuals selected by the government (generally to meet the requirements of this type of production) are required to grow apples according to the government's instructions, but the actual production may not meet the actual demand.

In the planned economy, not only state-run industries are controlled, but even private enterprises are operated under the instructions of the government. The government is in charge of what private enterprises produce. It is up to the government to decide how private enterprises produce it. How to distribute what is produced is also a matter for the government to decide. The state controls the supply, price, and distribution channels of production, all of which are determined by the government.

This is also the biggest difference between the economy of the state and social government and the planned economy today.

This is because in the planned economy of the state government, only the three questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. As to the question of how exactly it should be distributed, the government merely retains the ability and power to intervene, and does not actually use that right.

Even what private enterprises should produce, the government only builds some enterprises to produce some things that the country needs, as for whether the other party is willing or not, the government can give some preferential policies as an inducement at the same time, but it will definitely not force...

As for the three issues of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom, Yan Shao, who proposed the 'Seventh Five-Year Plan' and the 'First Five-Year Plan' at that time, was not at all worried.

Because when Yan Shao formulated the first five-year plan, it was already 1913, and according to the historical process, the First World War would occur in 1914. Even because of him, history changed, and the confrontation between the Allies and the Allies at that time was becoming more and more tense, and it could even be said that it was a limit―――――― when Germany's national power was growing rapidly, and it was really eager to expand its power, its military strength also increased greatly. On the other hand, Britain has always adhered to the two-power standard, and the problem is that the stronger Germany is, the stronger his standard must be, so ...

As a result, the longer it drags on, the greater the financial pressure on the UK.

It's like a bowstring, the tighter it gets, the tighter it gets, and at the end of the day, it can't be pulled anymore. Therefore, unless something unexpected happens, this war will almost certainly break out, and it will only be delayed for three or five years at most.

However, Yan Shao's Five-Year Plan and the Seventh Five-Year Plan will take time to see results.

In other words, when these two things were effective, it was precisely when the First World War was at its most intense, and Yan Shao didn't have to worry about the sales of products after the factory was built...

For him, the most important thing is how to build the factory.

Even if the First World War had not happened, it would have been possible for the factories to be built long ago. Because one thing is certain, and that is that China is huge. His needs are just as great.

In particular, China was in a relatively barren state at that time, and almost all the regions were backward regions, and it was the time when a lot of money needed to be invested in construction.

Roads, railways, sewers, street lights, running water...

These things may seem simple. But it is precisely the foundation of modern civilization. And that's what China lacks today. So, it's really simple, if Yan Shao wants to develop China, he must get these things up.

And to get these things together, it will require a lot of resources and even equipment that China simply cannot produce. In this way, after the end of the first five-year plan, Yan Shao really has no need to worry about sales.

Because of the problem of sales. Yan Shao had already solved it.

No, to be exact, this country has already helped Yan Shao solve it!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Anyway. In the end, the five-year plan succeeded despite the constant questioning of the plan by others. And with the help of the first world war, he successfully obtained capital from this war that could strengthen itself.

At the same time, China itself has benefited enormously.

China today. Although on some projects that take time to catch up. There is still a certain gap with the great powers. However, with a strong economic aggregate, it has become one of the world's top five industrial and military powers.

At the same time, if we talk about the first five-year plan, it is the question of whether there is or not.

Then what the second five-year plan wants to solve is to continue to grow itself on the basis of an industry that originally existed, but neither quantity nor quality was very strong!

The scale of China's industry today is entirely dependent on its large numbers. But the quality is not very good for the factory support. For example, the Qijiang Iron Works in Sichuan Province now produces just over 50,000 tons of crude steel per year. Other iron factories are similar. The largest one is only three or four hundred thousand. All of this is taken together, and only when Yan Shao's Xiangshan Iron Works and some private entrepreneurs' self-run iron factories are added together can China's crude steel output reach a level close to that of Germany and Britain.

However, if you analyze it carefully, you can find that the production capacity of each of these iron factories is not very high.

The same is true of some other industries, such as ash factories and other factories, which already exist, and because of the large number of them, it seems that China looks good in these numbers, and it is about the same as that of the great powers.

In reality, however, each one is very small. And this time the plan is to allow these factories to catch up with those large factories abroad.

There is no doubt that if the Second Five-Year Plan is also successful, China's industrial strength will be greatly enhanced. It can even be said to be a leap, just like the previous metaphor of building a house, if you want to build a house, first give a piece of land of your own!

That's how you can build yourself a house!

In the first five-year plan, what was sought was not how to do it, but to first solve the problem of whether there was or did not.

Yes, China's land area is indeed huge, and no matter what kind of house you build, such a large amount of land seems to be enough.

But in the field of industry, China is just a poor egg...

It is precisely for this reason that in the first five-year plan, although China has a relatively comprehensive industrial base. But in fact, the capacity of every unit, for example, some new steel plants, is not very large.

The reason why it can now have production capacity close to that of the great powers is purely because there were enough steel plants built at the beginning, in addition to the Xiangshan Iron Works there to support ―――――― it should be noted that as the scale of the Xiangshan Iron Works is getting larger and larger, and the area covered is becoming more and more extensive, more and more people have proposed to change the Xiangshan Iron Works to Ma'anshan Iron Works.

Although Yan Shao did not support this proposal, he did not oppose it, because he knew very well that the steel factory there in later generations was indeed very similar to this name.

It's just that Xiangshan Iron Works was built by him himself, so he just abandoned his original name, and he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

It's just that after the persuasion of others, Yan Shao's heart was more or less shaken.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"A new territory?"

may have dispelled the idea of resigning and running out to re-lead the Kuomintang to work against Yan Shao. Song Jiaoren groaned for a while. He asked.

At this time, he had more or less guessed Yan Shao's thoughts.

And looking at Song Jiaoren's appearance, Yan Shao also nodded after smiling slightly.

"That's right. It's the new territory. The original Second Five-Year Plan was planned on the land of the time. Nowadays, the new territory may not be much smaller than the original territory of our country, and there are still many places rich in resources, but they have not been properly developed just because of population and other factors. ”

"Dull, think about it. What is the most in our country? It's people! Russia has a population of more than 100 million, so it cannot fully develop the two regions of Siberia and Central Asia, while China has more than 500 million. The biggest problem for Russia is nothing for our country. ”

"In the same way, these two places, as newly occupied lands of our country, are the same as the territory of the Middle East. We need to invest a lot of money to develop. ――――――As you know, the resistance in the new territory has not stopped in the past two years, although the strength of this resistance and Chengdu is constantly declining, but it will take a lot of time to completely lift this resistance. ”

"In the face of such resistance, it is useless to rely solely on strength. It is necessary to use some gentle means to develop the local area. Let the locals enjoy the benefits of being under the rule of the national government, so that their resistance can be completely eliminated..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh proudly. "Fortunately, the Russians and the original Turks have laid a good foundation for us, so it is easy to buy people's hearts and minds, otherwise, things will be really troublesome..."

Looking at Yan Shao's triumphant appearance, Song Jiaoren also looked a little helpless.

Fortunately, over the years, he has also become a little accustomed to Yan Shao's character, so he didn't say anything more.

On the other hand, looking at Song Jiaoren's appearance, Yan Shao was actually relieved in his heart.

For Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren is still of some use. First of all, as Yan Shao said before, with the development of the second five-year plan, a large amount of money will be invested in this plan, many of which may be taken advantage of, and it took a long time for the current national government to create a relatively clean environment in front of him.

How can the devil say it, as the minister of the Ministry of Integrity, Song Jiaoren is still very prestigious among the people. And within the government, there are also many people who are afraid of him.

So...

If Song Jiaoren suddenly resigned because of this incident, it is difficult to say whether some greedy guys would take this opportunity to jump out.

Although a minister of clean government, Song Jiaoren, is gone, Yan Shao can completely re-establish an equally competent one. But it's one thing to be competent, it's another to establish one's prestige at home. Song Jiaoren himself relied on the prestige of the early revolution and the hard work of the following years to have the prestige he has today.

And if you really appoint a new person, you won't have three or two years, I'm afraid it's unlikely to be useful...

On the other hand, it is precisely because of his efforts in the Ministry of Integrity over the years that Song Jiaoren is similar to Bao Qingtian and Hai Qingtian in ancient times in China, especially in the hearts of ordinary Baixin. The prestige is high, and it can be said that he is the first person in the civil official department, even higher than Li Liang, the prime minister, Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang and others.

On the side of the soldiers, it is also on par with Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, but it is only second to Yan Shao.

If such a person jumps into the camp against Yan Shao, then Yan Shaoke will have a headache.

As for assassinations or something...

Yan Shao is not against assassination...

Because in a way, assassination is actually one of the strategies. Just like during the Second World War, both the Entente and the Central Powers were trying to assassinate each other's leaders.

In fact, if someone had been able to assassinate Hitler, or the emperor of Japan, he would have become a hero to the whole world―――――― given the size of the Entente and the Allies at the time, the Entente could not represent the whole world. For most of the world, there is no problem.

And this, undoubtedly, is also a tactic to reduce casualties, in addition to this. There is also the assassination of the other party's generals and so on.

In Yan Shao's opinion, these are all allowed, in fact, in order to take revenge on the Alliance, didn't Yan Shao order the Special Affairs Bureau to kill all those who dared to assassinate him?

It's just that the political assassination is not what Yan Shao admires, after all, if it is only to defeat political opponents. Assassinate the other party. In the short term, this may be a quick solution to the problem, but in the long run. It's a way to get yourself in trouble.

Because if the political assassination becomes a common thing, then the whole political situation will become chaotic.

And Yan Shao's appointment of Song Jiaoren to serve in the Ministry of Integrity has already made Song Jiaoren have a huge reputation, and if he is allowed to jump out of the government at this time. Stand up against your own words. Even Yan Shao will have a headache.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although on the surface, Song Jiaoren seemed to have given up on resigning, Yan Shao could still see that Song Jiaoren was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Therefore, after smiling slightly in his heart, Yan Shao pulled over the chair again, sat in front of Song Jiaoren and persuaded carefully. Of course, it's not all persuasion, and there are many things to talk about. Let's take some of the things that happened recently.

Later, Yan Shao said something to Song Jiaoren, which finally made Song Jiaoren completely dispel his desire to resign―――――― in fact, Song Jiaoren himself. I am also reluctant to be dismissed from my current position. It's just that he was caught off guard by Yan Shao's speech before, so he was extremely angry in his heart, so he was like this.

In fact, Song Jiaoren is still very happy in his current position, after all, the department of the Ministry of Integrity is also a relatively simple department from a certain point of view, and its responsibilities are also very simple, just to pick out those moths that are harmful to the country, it is as simple as that.

In such a position, there is no need for Song Jiaoren to bother to intrigue with others―――――― well, if you want to arrest corrupt officials, you also need to use some thought, but it is much stronger than attacking each other in politics, so Song Jiaoren can also be called happy in this position.

On the other hand, after dispelling this idea of Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao visited several leading figures of the civil and official department to dispel their thoughts of resignation.

As for the others...

There are so many people in this country and this government, how can Yan Shao personally visit each of them...

What's more, not everyone is worthy of Yan Shao's personal visit, so...

Do whatever you like, do whatever you like, as long as it's not anti-government and anti-social, Yan Shao doesn't want to pay attention to him...

However, despite this, there are still many people in the government who are dissatisfied with Yan Shao. After all, Yan Shao's previous speech was too radical, and it was very surprising to some friendly countries, which also had a great impact on the Nationalist government. At least not long after the broadcast ended, diplomats from various countries had already submitted a letter of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs against Yan Shao's previous remarks on the radio, arguing that such remarks were extremely dangerous...

It is also because of this that many people are dissatisfied with Yan Shao, after all, the trouble Yan Shao caused this time is too great. It's just that even so, they still have no way to deal with Yan Shao. After all, politicians and ordinary people do not want the same things. Politicians are thinking about how to stabilize the environment at home, how to make profits abroad, or how to ease relations with neighboring countries.

And what about the people? In addition to food and clothing, they also care about dignity that seems to have nothing to do with them.

The former Qing government in the past groveled to the foreign powers, which had long caused great dissatisfaction. Now Yan Shao's remarks, although they seem to be very dangerous, are also unusually tough, which just caters to the psychology of the Chinese people. It's like in the original history, knowing that we were not Japan's opponents, but when Japan invaded, there were still countless people who stood up to protest the cowardice and incompetence of the government.

The same is true of the Versailles Peace Conference in history...

Even if you are weak, you will hope that you can live a more backbone life. What's more, today's China can't be called a weak person in any way...

At least, as long as the Chinese people are satisfied with Yan Shao. Then Yan Shao will definitely not have anything.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, at the same time that the world is turning upside down for Yan Shao's speech. After settling Song Jiaoren and some other members of the civil bureaucracy, Yan Shao also began to get busy with another major thing, that is, what Yan Shao and Song Jiaoren said, the new version of the 'Second Five-Year Plan'.

After all, the original five-year plan is already a little outdated, and the new five-year plan, after some preparations. Quietly introduced.

The five-year plan covers a wide range of areas, from the construction of industry to people's livelihood facilities. It's all covered.

Under the new five-year plan, the government will conduct large-scale oil exploration in the Middle East, Central Asia and Siberia. Naturally, the end result is not clear what the end result will be. After all, so far. Only the Middle East has really found oil.

And it's the kind that is kept secret, and when it will be publicized, no one knows this.

As for Central Asia and Siberia, the time occupied by the Communist government is still very short, and if it really wants to produce some results, I am afraid it will take some time.

In addition to these, there are many others. In fact, Yan Shao's development of the newly occupied areas was indeed sincere. After all, if you want to let the newly occupied areas return to their hearts as soon as possible. The best thing to do is to do everything you can to develop these areas.

Of course, you can also say. Yan Shao has already carried out population relocation in these two areas, and a large number of Chinese people have migrated to these two lands, which has greatly helped the development of these two lands. In reality, however, this is not enough and may lead to even more trouble.

After all, Yan Shao's relocation of the domestic population to a new territory is, from a certain point of view, also competing with the locals for profit!

Places like Kazakhstan and Siberia are vast and sparsely populated, and on the surface, the migration of some people seems to be nothing in the past. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are some people, even though these lands are of little use to them, and they don't see how much they value these lands in the past. But when outsiders come, they will feel that these are their own, even if they are still there and have not been used, they are also their own, and it should not be up to you, an outsider, to intervene, why do you an outsider occupy my family's things...

In fact, such ideas are not uncommon in Central Asia and Siberia, where resistance groups are propagandizing that the Chinese have migrated here to snatch what belongs to them from their hands.

It's just that the land there is too big at the moment, the population is too small after all, and the national government can also be said to be strong. The locals did not dare to resist.

However, if we want to completely eliminate this situation, the best way is to give strong support and development to the local community.

For example, Kazakhstan is very rich in resources, with more than 90 kinds of mineral deposits proven as of 2014. Coal, iron, copper, lead, and zinc are abundant, and the world's largest producer of uranium for nuclear fuel and nuclear weapons is also known as the 'uranium bank', and the Caspian Sea region is also rich in oil and gas resources. In 1984, it produced 125.7 million tons of coal and 24 million tons of commercial iron ore. Tungsten reserves occupy the first place in the world, and chromium and phosphate rock occupy the second place. Reserves of copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum and phosphorus rank first in Asia. In addition, iron, coal, oil, and natural gas reserves are also abundant. The proven reserves of oil are 10 billion tons, coal reserves are 3.94 billion tons, and natural gas reserves are 11,700 trillion cubic meters―――――― of course, the reserves are 10 billion, but this does not mean that 10 billion can be extracted.

In addition to petroleum resources, there are 21.7 million hectares of forests and afforestation. 53 billion cubic meters of surface water resources. Most of the cultivated land is planted with spring wheat as the main food crop, and cotton, sugar beet, tobacco and so on are also produced.

It can be said that in addition to uranium, the other resources mentioned above have unusually high mining value for the national government.

It is precisely because of this that the vast majority of the new plans of the national government are mining. For example, iron ore, coal and other mineral resources, in the Kazakh region, the Communist government has set up dozens of large mines to exploit these resources and use them.

In addition, some smaller places will also be allocated to some private capital. For its exploitation, naturally, in the process of contracting, the Ministry of Integrity must supervise it to avoid something that should not happen.

In addition, some of these resources can be processed and used directly locally, just like steel resources.

The government is even preparing to build a large steel plant in Kazakhstan, making it one of the largest steel bases in China. In addition to this, the transportation of weapons and equipment from the country to the front line, after all, has been a little too long. Of particular importance is the fact that the country's connections to these regions are now dependent on the Central Asian Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Although the two railways seem to be safe at the moment, who can guarantee that they will always be safe?

Yes, these two railways are indeed closely defended, especially the Central Asian Railway, and the entire railway has been surrounded by mines on both sides of the railway. Even if the partisans want to destroy, it is definitely not so easy.

But just because you can't get through the earth doesn't mean you can't get through the heavens.

The Wehrmacht Air Force still knew how to use bombers to bomb Soviet Russian cavalry units, so as to help Kolchak's White Army delay time. Are the people of Soviet Russia so stupid that they don't understand how to bomb railways with bombers?

Yes, the current Soviet Russia certainly does not have such capabilities, but this does not mean that there will not be in the future. If you really wait until something happens to start preparing, then it will be too late to regret it.

Moreover, the reason why Soviet Russia did not develop strategic bombers before World War II in history was mainly because it was not necessary. But with the Communist government occupying two-thirds of Russia's territory, the situation may be somewhat...

Therefore, in the new Second Five-Year Plan, in addition to the above-mentioned mines and iron and steel plants, the Communist government will also build a number of military factories in Central Asia and Siberia, which will have the ability to manufacture tanks and fighter jets on their own, in addition to the most common guns and grenades.

In fact, Yan Shao already has the intention of turning Kazakhstan and the Urals into one of China's largest industrial bases. In order to ensure that the Nationalist government can always control these two areas, even if the railway line in the rear is damaged, it can still be self-sufficient and hold out until the day when reinforcements from the rear come up.

Historically, the Russian government had a total of five major steel bases. It is precisely because of these five major steel bases that Soviet Russia has the world's largest steel output. These five steel bases account for 94% of the total Soviet pig iron production, 88% of steel production and 90% of steel production.

Although Ukraine and Urals are old bases with a long history, many points and large scale, their pig iron, steel and steel production account for 71%, 67% and 66% of the country respectively, but this is only because the remaining three bases were still in the formation stage at that time.

What's more, Yan Shao has not only Kazakhstan, but also Western Siberia and the Urals. In other words, Yan Shao already owned three of the five major steel bases in Soviet Russia in the original history.

What Yan Shao has to do next is to give these places enough space and time to develop, and take care of these areas with all his might.

Just like Kazakhstan in another time and space, as one of the five major steel industry bases in the Soviet Union, the Kazakh steel industry base is the latest and lowest level among the five bases. However, the conditions here are very good, not only is there the third largest coke production base in the Soviet Union, but Kustannay and Karaganda are also rich in iron ore, which is conducive to the development of the steel industry...

Kazakhstan's natural conditions are not inferior to any other region, and if it can be carefully cultivated, it can become the industrial pillar of a country, but the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union has stillborn the Kazakh steel industry, which is still in the formative stage......... No, it should be premature...

However, it is clear that Yan Shao will never allow this to happen, and likewise, he will not allow China to collapse like Soviet Russia in history...

He wants to see with his own eyes, see with his own eyes the day when this restored country stands at the very top of the world! (To be continued......)
