"By the end of last year, the annual crude steel output of 11.3 million tons, imports to make up for the lack of supply and demand, from the highest 7 million tons in 1926 to 2 million tons last year, next year is expected to stop importing steel. 320 million tons of coal, 9.27 million tons of coke, 200,000 tons of copper, 410,000 tons of aluminum, 1.05 million tons of triacids and two alkalis, and 13 million tons of oil. The production of more than 2.5 million tons from the four fields of Minas, Hanjiang, Yumen and Beihai in Sumatra will double from this year to 20 million tons. By the end of next year at the latest, several oil refineries in Guangxi, Heilongjiang, Urumqi, and Jinzhou will gradually start operation, and the total amount of oil refining in the country will reach 35 million tons. In 30 years, two large oil refineries will be opened, and it is expected that by 1939, the country's refining capacity and oil production will exceed 70 million tons

After the workers' and peasants' stimulus policy came out, many small car factories switched to the production of walk-behind tractors, and it is estimated that the output will exceed 180,000 this year and reach 300,000 next year. Last year, a total of 2,220 train carriages, 190 locomotives, 57,000 other tractors, 65 combine harvesters, 530,000 automobiles and 30,000 motorcycles were produced nationwide. There are 1,213 aircraft, 210,000 radios, 32,000 boilers, 3,103 steam turbines and hydraulic turbogenerators, and 470,000 engines and internal combustion generators. It produces 40,000 machine tools for turning, drilling, grinding, planing, milling, boring, cutting and other machine tools used in basic industries, and 3,131 new automatic machine tools. There are 172 semi-automatic assembly lines.

1.92 million tons of military and civilian vessels, 5 large oil tankers, 11 rebuilt, 33 10,000-ton sea vessels, and 6 warships. For four consecutive years, more than 4,000 kilometers of railways and 10,000 kilometers of highways have been built, and wireless broadcasting towers have been built in various provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and all cables from Beijing to the northwest, the Outer Khing'an Mountains, Guangxi, and Taiwan have been connected. Last year, the power generation capacity was 30.2 billion kilowatt hours, and the construction of the national high-voltage power line network has begun, and all major cities have been electrified. At this rate, electricity will be available all over the country in 20 years.

The total grain output was 220 million tons, 13.3 million tons of pigs, beef and mutton, 4.39 million tons of ocean fishing, and 230,000 tons of wool. There are 1.7 million horses, and the total annual output has reached 1.3 million tons after the introduction of high-yield long-staple cotton three years ago, and 370,000 tons of natural rubber. 660,000 tons of chemical rubber, chemical fertilizer, tea, raw silk and tung oil, etc. are the highest in the past year. ”

In the large conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, rows of semi-arc-shaped conjoined conference tables replaced the previous conference tables, Xu Xiujun held a teaching whip like a university professor, pointed to a group of data played by the projector, and introduced the domestic industrial and commercial and financial situation last year to the officers and generals who rushed to the black pressure, and the excitement and pride in his words could even be heard by children. "Last year, the total value of industry and agriculture in the country was 156 billion yuan, of which the industrial output value was 25 billion yuan, the commercial output value was 30 billion yuan, and the rest was agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and minerals. The total fiscal revenue for the year was 14.5 billion yuan, 1.2 billion yuan of various bonds were issued, and the gold reserves increased to 4,200 tons. 42,000 tons of silver, foreign exchange of about 550 million US dollars. And the great news! After the War Office took over gold mining in Afghanistan in the middle of last year, we re-surveyed and found it to be a highly abundant associated mine. According to the analysis of mineral sands samples by the Ministry of Geology, the mine can extract about 1,500 tons of gold. 30 million tons of copper, 10,000 tons of silver, and about 400 tons of uranium. ”

Uranium ore? Yang Qiu's eyebrows were not noticed, and he picked them twice: "Ziqing, you will report to the Presidential Palace, merge this mine into the national strategic mine list, and find a way to transport a few more batches of equipment into it." The number of mining engineers has increased by 2 times, and if you find a way to build an airstrip, you must hollow it out within 10 years! ”

Of course, everyone has no opinion on such an important cornucopia being included in the strategic mine, if it weren't for the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, it would be too difficult, and the three commanders would have pulled hundreds of thousands of trucks to handle it themselves.

"Everyone heard Zihong's introduction, right?" Yang Qiu glanced at the officer, and waited for everyone's eyes to focus before saying, "How many years?" It has been 18 years since October 11, 1911 in the Western calendar. Unconsciously we have been walking hand in hand for so long. In the past 18 years, since the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, we have relied on the poor Westernization movement foundation that we took over, and now the industrial scale has surpassed France, the total economic volume has exceeded that of Britain, and the steel output is on par with Germany! It should be said that it is a great achievement, except for the data of the United States from 1894 to 1914 to achieve the 20 years of explosion, there is no second country that can compare with the speed of development in our 18 years.

Why are we able to do so much? Or is it developed when education is poor, the vast majority of the people are illiterate, the foundation is poor, and even water and electricity are not complete? At the end of the day, 3 points! The army ensures the stability and unity of the country! Victory boosts national confidence! In the end, we made concerted efforts to dare to break open and eat that crab with teeth and claws, and participated in the European war to exchange the lives of soldiers and laborers for the opportunity for national development, reversing the fate of the nation! ”

Yang Qiu's words echoed in the conference room, as if bringing everyone back to that turbulent time, turbulent, uneasy, nervous, anxious but also excited, fiery, proud, and even screaming when they slept. "After the end of the European war, national construction became a top priority, and military spending was overwhelmingly low, except for the navy, which needed to increase spending because of the huge gap with the world, everyone stripped their belts for 10 years. In the past 10 years, the level of equipment training of the troops is not good because of lack of money, no! It should be said that it is very poor! ”

The word "very bad" made many officers excited, and secretly wondered what Yang Qiu meant, was he dissatisfied with the results in Afghanistan? Or is it going to have major surgery on the military? In particular, the naval officers, who had spent a lot of money but had never made any achievements, were even more nervous, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes.

The effect of the waking up stick is still good, Yang Qiu gave a sweet date and continued: "I don't blame you, a penny is difficult to beat a hero." Moreover, judging from the battle in Afghanistan, at least the combat effectiveness of some top troops has been ensured. The new means and ideas of warfare were well learned. In this regard, the Air Force performed the best and should be commended by the whole army. ”

Xue Muhuale, who was born as an ace pilot, smiled, and the biggest gain in Afghanistan was the Air Force, and the experience and experience and the ability to demand equipment have clearer development goals. The Air Force was frowning, secretly wondering if it would be possible to apply for more military expenses later, and the other people's faces would not be good.

"Don't put on this picture of mourning, I won't talk about the past today. But the next 10 years are a critical period! Yang Qiu accentuated his tone: "In the next 10 years, China's main strategic opponents will still be Japan and Russia!" The secondary strategy is to catch up with the United States and Great Britain! The armed forces must expand the country's living environment and protect the country's overseas interests. Take responsibility for the construction of the country and the protection of people's tranquility!

So how to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, to ensure that they can be pulled out anytime and anywhere, and to win! It's something to do in the next 10 years! So I'm going to talk for three years. The current airborne regiment was expanded into two airborne brigades, forming the 81st and 82nd airborne brigades. The 121st, 122nd, 123rd and 124th divisions were changed to mechanized infantry divisions, 2 additional Marine Corps brigades were added, and then they were taken as.

Second, although we won more than we lost in the wars of the previous 10 years, in recent years the world's military reform and development have been rapid. First of all, Japan! After the army's drag was reduced, Japan has made clear the strategy of naval priority, six battle cruisers are being improved, four new Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers will be commissioned one after another in two years, and three aircraft carriers, the Fengxiang, Akagi, and Kaga. Stronger than us.

Stalin has come to power, and last year we introduced a five-year industrial plan, and the country's economy is recovering very quickly! The growth of the army is also obvious, the number has approached one million, and Afghanistan has also strengthened its air force and heavy weapons construction after the war. Last year alone, 2,500 aircraft of all types and 1,500 tanks were built, among which the TB3 bomber was not inferior to our Leigong bomber.

Moreover, these two countries have signed a secret treaty against us, and their economies complement each other very advantageably, just last year, like the Soviet Union, Japan exported 30,000 units of various types of machinery and equipment in exchange for 300,000 tons of chromium, manganese and other precious metals, as well as 5 million barrels of oil! The trend of joining forces against us is clear!

The war in Afghanistan has shown who will be able to control the skies in the future. Whoever has good technology has a better chance of winning the next war! So I decided that from next year there will be a gradual increase in military spending. In addition to being used to form new units and improve the level of training, it will also invest 6 million yuan per year in each major project in the name of the military for 15 years. Set up the Technical Office of the Ministry of National Defense, which is responsible for tracking advanced foreign technologies, tapping domestic emerging industries, and supervising those projects just now. ”

Yang Qiu's passion for technology is incomparable to anyone's, not to mention that the Wehrmacht is originally the beneficiary of technological superiority, who among the generals doesn't want the guy in his hand to be better than the enemy? So everyone supports this decision, but they don't understand a lot of new terms. Cheng Biguang saw that there were no naval projects in it, and asked anxiously: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, why is there no project for our navy in it?" Naval guns, armor are all needed, can't we build mechanical computers? And what is this electronic detection and jet engine? ”

Yang Qiu smiled, didn't answer directly, but shouted: "Qiu Heng, you explain it to everyone." ”

"Here."

Jiang Fangzhen, who was taking notes, raised his head and watched Qiu Heng walk onto the podium. He was too familiar with this thirty-year-old colonel, who was Qiuheng Runway Jiangsu at the beginning, and invited him to join the National Defense Force instead of Yang Qiu.

Compared with the front-line officers, Qiu Heng is almost unknown, but everyone doesn't look down on him. In his twenties, he was able to take charge of coordinating Britain and France, and managing the logistics of hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces to Europe and the Western Front in an orderly manner, and there were few people in the whole country. After the war, he was sent to France to study army logistics, and now he is the best logistics management expert in the Wehrmacht. In addition to logistics, he is also responsible for managing the investment projects of the Ministry of Defense, and most of the research projects are in his head, and the newly created "technical office" is almost tailor-made for him.

Qiu Heng stepped onto the podium and said, "The naval guns and armor that Commander Cheng just said are actually mainly material problems, and this has been included in the material project. Detection, computers, and jet engines are all new projects that the Commander has begun with the Dragon League. Detection includes a lot of long-range cameras, color film, and new detectors that rely on radio waves to detect aircraft and warships dozens of kilometers away. The speed and efficiency of the mechanical computer we use now are too slow, so we will organize domestic experts from next year, and will also hire some foreign experts to study electronic signal computers, and the first step is to calculate 5,000 additions in one second. ”

Targets found dozens of kilometers away ?!

5000 additions a second?!

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone had a thought, even Song Ziqing, Yue Peng and others, secretly thinking: Could it be that he is already old and outdated?!! Yang Qiu was too lazy to explain, many things were no longer something that the generation in front of him could master, so he clapped his hands again without waiting for everyone to react.

In the crisp applause, Liu Mingzhao, Bingwen, and He Ning, an ace pilot of the Air Force who had participated in the European War and the Afghan War, walked out. "One more thing! I have authorized the three of them to draw troops from the army, navy, air force, and Central Guard Division to form the "Blue Sword Brigade of the Three Armed Forces." ”

What is this thing in the Blue Sword Brigade of the Three Armed Forces?

Explaining the meaning of the Blue Army in later generations, Yang Qiu said: "I am personally responsible for all the tactics, equipment, and combat methods of the Blue Sword Brigade, the army base is located in Wolf Mountain, and the navy is located in the Leizhou Peninsula. Starting next year, every unit of the three armed forces will take turns to fight exercises and battles with them! Whether it's the unit you choose to think is the best, or the unit randomly selected by the Blue Brigade every month, as long as the street arrangement is strictly required by actual combat!

And I said ugly things in the front, that unit lost, from their division commander to the company commander officers at all levels were fined 1 month's salary! Stop taking a half-year vacation for all staff! The commanders and major generals of the armies and theaters who lose once in the troops below the superior officers will automatically fund Qiu Heng 100 yuan for scientific research, and personally stop providing living allowances such as cigarettes for 1 month! The Blue Sword Brigade's new confrontation method did make everyone secretly praise, but for some reason, Yang Qiu's gaze and smile on the corner of his mouth made everyone feel a chill in their necks.

"Qiu Heng, when ordering the donation box, it should be larger, and it should be placed at the door of my office! It's too small, I'm afraid my generals won't fit it. ”
