The new high-pressure boiler, three carriages, and the steam locomotive are wrapped in aluminum skin to be streamlined.

Following the Zhengzhou experiment diesel locomotive, the national chapter 631, Xiaoxiao began to accompany him. Although it was not an official visit, Jinnah was the chairman of the Muslim League of India, so he specially arranged for Chen Guofu and Wang Zhengting to receive him, giving everyone the feeling that this was an ordinary friendly exchange between the National Society and the Muslim League.

Whether it is Chen Guofu, Wang Zhengting, who returned to China after returning from his ambassadorial career to replace Yang Du as vice foreign minister, or Murong Han, who accompanied him throughout the whole process, they are all outstanding members of China's young generation and core personnel of the National Socialist Party. So Jinnah took a few more serious glances before returning to the topic: "Mr. Vice President, is it really that difficult to raise the platform?" ”

Jinnah was indeed attracted by what he saw and heard along the way, but he was more curious about how Yang Qiu did it. You must know that China is still an agricultural country. Unlike Europe and the United States, where industrial ideas are common, businessmen are not eager for technology and innovation, so he can't understand what China relies on to promote so many technological projects, and even high-speed trains that have just started in developed countries have appeared.

I thought that Yang Qiu would find someone to explain, but I didn't expect him to walk to the train by himself and elaborate: "It's not troublesome to raise the platform, as long as it is raised, but if it is to be promoted nationwide, it must ensure that the chassis height of all trains is consistent." There are also a lot of pipes and wires inside the high platform. Connect signal lights and other equipment, and the water connection should also be improved accordingly. In addition, in the past, the low platform would not block the chassis, and the locomotive workers could be overhauled at any time after entering the station, but now it is necessary to set up a special maintenance area, which requires the standards committee to formulate a unified standard train facility standard. ”

When I heard that the Republic of China had set up a national industrial and commercial standards committee in five years, it formulated unified standards for the national industrial and commercial construction and other industries, and put forward national standards from iron nails to bearings, road widths and car wheel tracks. After he began to use administrative and commercial means to squeeze out substandard spare parts, Jinnah and his party secretly admired his gaze and thinking. Even people who don't know how to do it can understand that if you stick to the standards. In a few decades, the country will become an assembly line factory for hundreds of millions of people.

"So what do you rely on to get the factory to develop the technology? The cost of new trains is not low, is your country really in such a desperate need for fast trains? "There was a young man next to Jinnah, 20 years old, who looked very energetic. Jinnah hurriedly introduced: "Mohammad Ayub Khan is a very good young man who has always wanted to apply for your school. ”

Unexpectedly, the future "Prime Minister" also brought, Yang Qiu smiled secretly: "Our school rarely recruits foreign students, but I can think of a way to do this." ”

In the past decade, the Wehrmacht has made a name for itself by relying on its excellent military qualities, and the number of students from all over the world, especially in Asia, who want to apply for lieutenant colonels has increased suddenly, but because of the strict management and the lack of opening to the outside world, the vast majority of people have been disappointed, so this guarantee made Ayub very happy. Yang Qiu pretended not to pay attention. Continued: "The larger the country, the higher the speed requirements. China is different from Europe and the United States, which have gone through a hundred years, and the proportion of ideas for investing in technology is very small, so we adopt the method of sharing and encouraging investment between the government and the military. ”

In the introduction, Jinnah gradually understood that in order to promote technological progress and research and development, Yang Qiu set up a special organization to collect new foreign technologies, as long as he knew what foreign countries were developing. Nanjing and the military have issued the same requirements to relevant domestic enterprises, and have also allocated funds and support according to their importance. This ensures that it can keep pace with the world's technological advances, reduce the worry of the capital needed to invest in new technologies, and ensure productization as the technology matures. Of course, this is very costly, and even Yang Qiu said that the Ministry of National Defense invests as much as 200 million yuan in technology every year, which is a primitive means of casting a wide net. But Jinnah thinks it's a good idea to help new factories catch up with developed countries.

Finally, at Jinnah's strong request, Yang Qiu accompanied him to visit Zhengzhou Industrial Group. The grand scene of "one city, one group" has made the Muslim League officials very interested, not only surprised by the huge scale of the Zhengzhou group covering almost the entire city, but also envious of the artillery and combat vehicles on the military assembly line, and when they introduced that a large amount of military equipment including hundreds of tanks can be delivered every year, they even have the urge to pack the entire Zhengzhou group back to Islamabad.

During the visit, Yang Qiu also knocked on the side to find out the purpose of Jinnah's trip, but this "Mr. Lawyer" mouth was much tighter than he imagined, and he kept saying that he was here to learn from experience and seek complementarity. This kind of extraordinarily enthusiastic scene of industry made Chen Guofu scratch his head secretly, and dragged Wang Zhengting behind: "Brother Wang, what the hell do you say these people are doing?" Could it be that Britain will still allow them to develop their own industry? ”

Wang Zhengting has been trained in France for many years and has deeply studied British colonial methods, so he looked at Jinnah's back and said with a smile: "The Muslim League and India have been seeking independence for a long time. However, in consideration of pacification, Britain has allowed many people to join the army over the years, and has also given them limited autonomy, but they know very well about heavy industry. ”

"Say so. Are they trying to use us against the British? ”

Wang Zhengting nodded: "No matter what the outcome is, the Nanyang Rebellion has shaken the foundation of Dutch rule, and the vice president's intervention in West Borneo and Natuna is tantamount to challenging the British bottom line, which they can see." Nanyang is now the center of the national independence movement. So he has to look at our attitude to assess the strength, to see if we can really confront the UK, and then to consider whether to cooperate. ”

After Chen Guofu understood, he asked: "Then you say, will the vice president really intervene in India?" ”

"I don't know." Wang Zhengting didn't want to guess Yang Qiu's thoughts, but his tone was not optimistic about doing so. Don't look at the rapid development of domestic industry, but there is still a big gap with Europe and the United States, there are still many livelihood problems to be solved, and at present, it can only be regarded as laying a good foundation. It is not in the interest to meddle in international affairs too early. Moreover, India and Central Asia are too complicated, not to mention the intricate national contradictions caused by the British, and the Soviet Union is tightly glued to them, and hundreds of millions of Muslim believers alone are enough to disrupt the long-term development of the northwestern provinces.

India is also the most important British colony, with a population of 300 million, plus steel, oil and the rich Gangetic Plain, the output value of industry and agriculture is actually close to the level of Britain itself, and if the British Empire is lost, it will be reduced to the second rate of the world. So this pearl cannot be moved in any way. If it moves, it will definitely be war! The country is in a period of extremely important transition, and it is worth pondering whether a national war is worth pondering. So after sending Jinnah to the station to rest, on the way back, he couldn't help but ask: "Vice President." The Muslim League and the Congress Party have a deep rift, and if we support the Muslim League, it will lead to hatred against the United Kingdom, and I am afraid that the Soviet Union will ultimately benefit. ”

Wang Zhengting's ability to look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation shows that his six-year career as ambassador to France has not been in vain. Yang Qiu did not want to fill in the two big mud pits of Central Asia and India, but it was of great positive significance to win over the Muslim League. "There are about 100 million Muslims in India, and the Muslim League has a wide support rating in India, Central Asia and Arab countries, and building good relations with them can ease tensions between Muslim ethnic groups and immigrants in the northwest and promote ethnic integration. Secondly, you must know that it is not only our family that is interested in India, the USSR is also actively developing GC ideas there. Trying to break the encirclement between us and the British. If India and Afghanistan were to be in turmoil, the Soviet Union's southward movement would be much larger if we explicitly did not participate. ”

"Do you want to borrow the hand of the Muslim League to provoke chaos in India and seduce the Soviet Union to go south?"

Wang Zhengting's heart shrank, this is not a good thing! If the Soviet Union takes India, I am afraid that the first one will have to attack Andijan with a backhand, otherwise it will not be able to guarantee the safety of the Indian passage in Central Asia. "It's not that simple." Yang Qiu shook his head: "The Soviet Union is not a fool. Stalin had only succeeded to the throne for a short time, and the internal situation had not yet been settled. The army was reorganized only at the beginning of last year, and it was not possible to fight the British in a few years. ”

Both of them are confidants, and when they saw it, they didn't understand Yang Qiu and simply said, "I'm going to make a wedge in India." The first is to alleviate the Natuna crisis and prevent British dogs from jumping over the wall. Second, it is also to make the British afraid of India's independence, and force them to withdraw their military forces from the Far East in a big way, as for this hole, we will always be willing to fill it. ”

Both were wise men, and if India was in turmoil, the British army would have to be greatly reinforced, and Natuna would be safe. But it is not easy to want chaos in India, and the aim of Gandhi's nonviolent movement is to stop all armed confrontation, and both Jinnah and Nehru are currently his followers, and they are certainly not willing to stand up against him, unless. When Wang Zhengting and Chen Guofu looked at each other, Yang Qiu had already pushed the car door and walked out.

In front of the hotel where he stayed, Chen Haohui was sitting in a wheelchair with his legs covered with a thick blanket, and when he saw him, he immediately pushed his wheelchair over and asked: "Vice President, is there any hope?" ”

"Difficult." Yang Qiu shook his head: "I've tried a few times, but this Jinnah doesn't leak anything, and his thinking is more similar to those things like the nonviolent movement." ”

Chen Haohui frowned, if Jinnah did not stand up against Gandhi and break that outlandish principle of nonviolence, there could be no real change in India. India will not change, the Natuna crisis will appear sooner or later, and the Soviet Union will not go south, that is, after the end of the East Indies crisis, the Republic of China will have to roll up its sleeves and pinch Britain to the death. Yang Qiu didn't want to do this, thought about it and said: "I will take them to the Wolf Mountain base in a few days, hoping that they can impress him after the military exercise." You send someone to pay attention to the young man named Ayub next to him, he wants to study in our military academy, you might as well let Baili find a way to open a gap from him, Mu Meng is not really in charge alone. ”…… (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
