Chapter 197: Seeds
Li Shutian has found a professor of organic chemistry from Nankai and Beiyang, and then a few students with good grades, of course, according to Yang Feng's requirements, they must be people from Beiping and Tianjin.
Yang Feng himself found a group of newly graduated chemical engineering students from New Oriental, such a research group of about 100 people was formed, the security division came out of a battalion, and asked Wang Chuanming to urgently build a few inland river patrol boats, anyway, the diesel engine is ready-made, it is nothing more than to weld a shell with a steel plate, and then install a double 37 mm anti-aircraft gun, and get two large-caliber machine guns, which is easy for factories that can now build high-horsepower tractors.
After the preparations were made, the infantry escorted the research group south by train, and the speedboat was towed to the canal in Tianjin with a trailer, and a group of sailors from the speedboat unit went directly south by waterway into Weishan Lake.
After arriving at the place, the infrastructure construction will be started, and the road from Lincheng Railway Station to Weishan Lake will be repaired first, which is only twenty or thirty kilometers, Yang Feng's requirements are not very high, and the sand road will be on the line, that is, there are a few bridges that need to be rebuilt, but they are all small bridges that are very easy to handle, and then hire a few engineers from Pingjin to transport them over.
In addition to building roads, a small wharf should be built on the edge of Weishan Lake and Weishan Island, and then equipped with cranes, and then the central part of the island was cleared out of a vacant land, and the road was repaired and factories were built.
Although it sounds very cumbersome, it can be carried out at the same time, and there is a lot of manpower, now is the time for Han Fuyu to show his brotherly feelings, and under his order, the migrant workers from several nearby counties are all recruited and transferred, anyway, it is the time when the winter has just begun, and the big boss Yang is in charge of money and food, and the people are also willing to come to earn some extra money.
As for building materials, not to mention equipment. Nothing can be transported by the train station.
According to such a construction speed of more than 100,000 people, Yang Feng estimates that the construction will be basically completed in just over a month.
At that time, the first research project is napalm, go back to Sablin to get a sample, this little thing he can still do, and then take it back and let it be imitated here, as for the composition of the internal charge, this is easy to solve. During the Vietnam War, the napalm of the U.S. military seemed to be filled with benzene and polystyrene, which was produced at the coking plant of the Chongqing Iron and Steel Group, but the output was smaller.
Polystyrene is a small thing to pull a boat from modern times, that is, to make disposable lunch boxes, which are already available at this time, but the price is relatively expensive.
It's not clear how to match this, anyway, it is best to inquire, and if you can't inquire, let this side test it, in fact, it is okay to add rubber directly without these. It's just that the cost of rubber is too expensive, so no one has developed it decently.
At the beginning of World War II, the people of DuPont in the United States solved this problem, and then napalm was overwhelmingly smashed into Japan, and it was not the atomic bomb that really ended the Pacific War, but this thing, and the atomic bomb killed a few Japanese? The casualties caused by the Tokyo bombing alone were about the same as the total of the two atomic bombings.
And that's not the most important thing, what the Japanese are really afraid of is not the Americans dropping a few more atomic bombs on them, what they are really afraid of is the Americans dropping napalm in their rice fields that are about to be harvested. After the end of the Japanese Navy, it was actually completely blocked. If all the rice fields are to be burned down, and then the Americans do not kill them, I am afraid that Japan will have to starve to death at least a third of its population.
This is the deadliest thing, and at that time Japan will face the danger of extinction, otherwise they would not have surrendered so coincidentally, just before the autumn harvest.
"That's the time. When the rice harvest season comes, it is a good choice to throw napalm into the rice fields of Japan, but only if Japan is blocked, if it is not blocked. They can still buy food from outside, or grab food from outside.
But what if it is paired with a submarine strangulation? No, it can't reach that scale, the investment in hundreds of submarines is too huge, there is no need for this at all, it is better to provoke them to start a war with the United States and Britain, and besides, this is too much hatred, and the Japanese will hate it to the death.
But there is no pressure to change to Shenlong to do this kind of work. Yang Feng finally found a means to set fire to Japan, and there was no need to pull hatred, thinking about the scene of a divine dragon breathing fire all over the Japanese countryside every year during the autumn harvest season, it makes people feel a kind of high chao-like excitement.
"Boss, Mitsui is here!" Han Caiyi interrupted Yang Feng's conjecture.
"Mitsui? What is this guy here for? Yang Feng couldn't help but be stunned, some time ago because of his tense relationship with the Japanese, a lot of trade with Mitsui Trading Company has been stopped, although it has now been reopened, but the relationship is not as good as before.
"Mitsui-kun, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, I came to the cold house today, I don't know what advice Lu Dao has?" Yang Feng sat behind the boss's desk, looked at Mitsui who walked in, and said with a smile.
Mitsui bowed with a smile on his face, and then held a small box in front of Yang Feng.
"Yang Jun, a little gift is not a tribute, and I hope Your Excellency can accept it with a smile." I have to say that this product really knows Yang Feng too well, and when he saw the two huge diamonds in the box, Yang Feng's face immediately changed.
"Mitsui-kun, how embarrassing this is, come, please take a seat, hurry up and serve tea, I don't understand any politeness!" Yang Feng reprimanded Han Caiyi, while quickly walking out and holding Mitsui's hand, and said with enthusiasm on his face.
"Yang Jun, I came this time to ask if you can sell us that kind of high-yield corn seed in your hand." The two were polite for a while, and Mitsui quickly got to the point.
The Japanese are worried about Yang Feng's corn seeds for not a day or two, this kind of high-yield seeds make the barren Chahar grain self-sufficient, not only them, many people are staring at this kind of thing, the Japanese first got a batch of second-generation seeds, the results of the yield can not be compared at all, and later from Sichuan only got a very small amount of seeds, this year's test results made them jaw-dropping.
Although the staple food of Japan is mainly rice, such a high yield of corn still makes them salivate, you must know that they have always been relatively short of food, coupled with the population has skyrocketed in recent years, the limited arable land is no longer enough to feed them, and the grain has been relied on plundering from the occupied areas all these years. For example, Northeast China, Taiwan, North Korea, etc.
Although plundering is also quite convenient, after all, it is not produced by itself, and if transportation is affected in wartime, it is inevitable that you will starve if you can't bring back food. So food security is very important.
However, if this high-yield corn can be popularized, many dry fields that could not be grown with rice can be turned into fertile fields, which will undoubtedly be a huge help to Japan's food security.
Do you sell it to them or not? Yang Feng was a little difficult, if he sold it to them, he obviously had another talisman, but the thought of helping the hard-working and kind Japanese people made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sell. What is not sold! Yang Feng made a decision in an instant.
"Yes, we are all friends, what else can't be done, but in terms of price, we must first make it clear, it must be 50% higher than my domestic price, you must understand that many people in our laboratory have feelings for your country, and they are not as good as me, if the price is low, it is difficult for me to explain to them.
Also on the payment method. It must also be paid in gold and silver, and I will not accept yen. The creature immediately said with a sincere face.
Mitsui hesitated. But he also knew that he had no cards to play in the negotiations, and to be honest, Yang Feng was already surprised that he could sell.
"Can you exchange goods, such as ginseng that you've always liked?" He asked tentatively.
These things are half bought and half grabbed in the Northeast, so they are naturally much more cost-effective.
"No, I already have a lot of these things there, and I'm preparing to reduce the amount of purchases for the time being." Yang Feng immediately vetoed his proposal.
Mitsui nodded a little helplessly. The two quickly agreed on a price, and the first seeds will be delivered by next spring.
"Mr. Yang, thank you very much, thank you very much for your generosity!" Before leaving, Mitsui bowed again and said, I should say that this is true. He really didn't expect Yang Feng to sell seeds, after all, the relationship between the two sides is no longer friendly.
"Mitsui-kun, it's still the same sentence, I still have a good impression of the Japanese people, but some of the behaviors of your country's military make me unacceptable, and from the bottom of my heart, if there is no interference from these factors, I am still very willing to cooperate with your businessmen." Yang Feng said with a hypocritical smile on his face.
Looking at the back of Mitsui leaving, this thing smiled treacherously, and now he has finally found a good business again, selling seeds, but genetically modified seeds.
Japan's this is just a rabbit in the grass, the real sales market should be the United States, Western Europe these places, not only genetically modified corn, genetically modified soybeans, wheat seeds can be sold, and then plus organophosphorus pesticides This is simply a perfect match!
I just don't know if the genetically modified food has such a good effect, and it is necessary to take a certain risk to do so, and the Japanese can sell it boldly and with confidence, but they need to be cautious with the United States, whatever! Anyway, with the current level of technique, there is no way to find the seed head anyway.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Feng laughed very evilly.
"Boss, you're smiling so scary!" Han Caiyi next to him was stunned by the strange expression on Yang Feng's face, and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, boss, this is called the charm of a mature man." Yang Feng said righteously.
"Also, how are you paying attention to Chairman Zhu's whereabouts these days?" Yang Feng then asked.
"Chairman Zhu has been inspecting various armies in the past few days, and he has already gone to the 57th, 51st, and 40th armies, and is now at General Fu Zuoyi's place." Han Caiyi said hurriedly.
Yang Feng nodded and signaled to Zhilu Dao.
Zhu Peide is the leader of the Yunnan army, and he has never had any contact with the northern princes, and the bald guy sent him to this point, he is not the same as He Yingqin, He Yingqin actually has a lot of influence in the Huangpu department, it can be said that he is the second person in the Huangpu department, otherwise he would not be so bold to make a move after the Xi'an incident.
Let him be in the north for a long time, and the bald guy is not at ease.
But Zhu Peide is different, his caretaker unit, the Third Army, is still in the northwest! And he himself has performed very well over the years, so it is very reassuring for him to come to Peking to be this bald man, originally he was the acting chief of the general staff in Nanjing.
This person can ignore him, but Yang Yongtai has a headache, the Beiping gentry petition group arrived in Nanjing early, and the demonstrations outside also come out from time to time to show it, judging from the news fed back from Nanjing, the bald guy seems to be determined to stuff Yang Yongtai to Beiping. These days, the North China Daily of the Yang system has also spared no effort to whitewash Yang Yongtai, although it seems like a candle in the wind in the midst of many sieges, but it does show an attitude.
"This is testing my bottom line, the bald guy is very sinister! In the end, can you kill Lao Yang? If you really kill him, then you can see that I did it, and the bald guy will tear his face. That's not good for my image! Yang Feng touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"If you really can't let him in, and then find a chance to squeeze him away again, I don't believe that so many old foxes can't fight him!" After thinking for a while, he said viciously.
In the end, he doesn't want to turn his face with the bald guy, and it is very good for him to maintain Pingjin in the current state, this is still Beiping City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China, and the mayor is directly appointed by Zhongyang, and the directors of the following bureaus are appointed by the mayor, but the following districts are autonomous. The district governor was elected by the local gentry.
Originally, they were relatively weak and had no ability to resist the city government, but now it is different, these guys are the spokesmen of the capitalists of Jinyuan, and they have Yang Feng's security guards behind the scenes. What really has the final say is the Pingjin Industrial and Commercial Salvation Federation run by Yang Feng, once there is any doubt about the order of the city government. First the district governors would go to Liu Haining, and then Liu Haining would convene the capitalists to discuss whether to return the order to the city government or enforce it.
Because Yang Feng didn't care about these things, he never participated in such meetings, unless these old guys couldn't agree on their opinions, they would come to him to decide. As for his decision, it is the final verdict, this kind of political form that can be said to be weird, but it makes Yang Feng feel very fond of it, and it feels very good to be a behind-the-scenes master, which not only maintains the face of the bald guy. and took Beiping under control of his own hands.
Yuan Liang's popularity lies in the fact that he does not try to break this pattern, and even he himself is not disgusted by it, this person is not a confidant of the bald guy, and he himself belongs to the hardliners against Japan, in history he was forced away by the Japanese because of this, he knows very well that Beiping is under the control of Yang Feng, and it plays a huge role in resisting the Japanese, so he is more willing to be a collaborator.
But Yang Yongtai is different, he came with a special mission, his task is to destroy the existing political pattern in Beiping, to put it bluntly, he is a-stirring stick.
"Alas, this bald guy, why can't he let me have a few days of peace?" Yang Feng said helplessly.
At this moment, his father-in-law hurriedly walked in, still holding a telegram in his hand.
"Yang Yongtai is dead!" Liu Haining said.
"What?" Yang Feng was directly stunned.
"Half an hour ago, at the Hankou Railway Station, when I was about to board the train to Beiping, I was shot dead by an assassin, I thought it was your hand that sent someone!" Liu Haining said.
Yang Feng's first reaction was Han Fuyu, Yang Yongtai's death, he was a yellow clay crotch, not but, and it was bound to turn his face with the bald guy, it is not ruled out that this thing plays the yellow robe and adds the body, so as to pull himself into the water.
"Ma, let me ask Han Fuyu, is this a thing!" Yang Feng said a little angrily.
"It's unlikely, Han Fuyu doesn't need to do this, although it is very beneficial for him to completely turn the other cheek with Nanjing, but he is also very risky to do so, with the current situation, he can just stay out of the matter and watch the excitement, so that his goal can also be achieved." Liu Haining pressed Yang Feng's hand holding the phone and said.
Yang Feng nodded after thinking about it, Han Fuyu really didn't need to risk offending himself and the bald guy at the same time.
"Did the assassins catch it?" He asked hurriedly.
"No, it was a master who did it, and the scene was chaotic at the time, so he ran away." Liu Haining shook his head and said.
"Mah, which bastard is we!" Yang Feng said hatefully.
He's on fire here! Nanjing's bald guy is even more angry, his most trusted strategist was assassinated in front of everyone, and so many guards around him didn't even catch the murderer, this is simply a bunch of waste.
"Tell me what you eat!" He roared angrily.
The two people standing in front of him lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"You, you come and tell me, I asked you to follow Mr. Changqing to protect you, how did you protect it." He pointed at Tang Zong's nose alone and shouted, considering that Tang Zong and Yang Feng had a lot of dealings, this time the bald guy specially sent Tang Zong to Beiping with Yang Yongtai, mainly responsible for protecting his safety.
"Headmaster, the murderer fired with a long-range sniper rifle from a distance of seven hundred meters, which is beyond our vigilance, and the students are indeed negligent." Tang Zong lowered his head and said.
"What gun can hit the head with such a long shot?" The bald guy was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to shoot, let alone aim at such a long distance, he couldn't even see the target clearly.
"The kind of long-range sniper rifle that Yang Feng calls SVD, the gun has a special scope and uses special bullets, but this kind of gun flows out very little, and our Zhongyang military system is only related, Zheng Er's seniors, there is also the third regiment of the military police, and the other is the intelligence department of the Fuxing Society." Tang Zong said.
"You mean Yang Feng's people?" The bald guy said.
"Report to the principal, the student thinks it is unlikely, first of all, this matter is indeed Yang Feng is the most suspicious, but it is also the least likely for him to do this, everyone knows that he does not want Mr. Changqing to go north, as long as Mr. Changqing is killed, then he is the biggest suspect, he doesn't need to do such a stupid thing.
In addition, the problem of guns, this kind of gun is very rare in our place, but it is not a rare thing in the 29th Army and Sun Dianying. The person next to Tang Zong said. (To be continued......)
