Grasping the handle of the church, Feng Jun has an extra good card in his hand, but how to make this card play the greatest role, it still needs to be carefully weighed, what to ask for from the West, where is the bottom limit of what they can promise, this needs to be carefully estimated, and a good card cannot be wasted.

Initially, Shao Piaoping and others suggested using this as an excuse to shake the West's various privileges in China, and even revise the treaty to regain tariff power. These propositions were very attractive, but when they were discussed, they were still vetoed by Wang Yongjiang.

The reason is also very simple, the asking price is too high, once the power of the great powers in China is moved, it is equivalent to asking for their life, and these guys will not agree. Moreover, although a large amount of incriminating evidence has been found in a Lund church alone, if the great powers do not admit their debts, and the Feng army does not have too much to do, they can't go to the churches one by one, which will only completely tear their faces with the West.

I wonder if they will use the banner of religion to jointly put pressure on Fengjun, some things are not justified enough, you still have the right to speak, and now Fengjun wants to compare the right to speak with the West, it is simply looking for death.

After some consideration, Zuihou Guo Zongxi put forward a new proposal, that is, let Westerners help build a hydropower station, so as to focus on real economic benefits. Guo Zongxi is the governor of Jilin Province and knows the situation in Jilin very well.

The upper reaches of the Songhua River, which originates from Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, have a large drop, sufficient water and abundant hydropower resources, and are the most suitable places for building hydropower stations in the three eastern provinces. At present, the three eastern provinces mainly rely on thermal power generation for power generation, but the scale of power stations is very limited, and several large arsenals have to provide their own power stations.

With the rapid development of industry in the three eastern provinces, the demand for electricity is increasing, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. On this side is a huge demand, and on that side is the river flowing away. It's very distressing.

Feng Jun did not think about building a power station on his own, but there were gaps in all aspects, there were no specialized design talents, no ability to produce large-scale hydropower generation equipment, and no experience in damming the flow of large rivers.

But suddenly there was an opportunity in front of me, just in time to use the western jishuliliang to build a power station. After this suggestion was made, Zhang Tinglan's eyes suddenly lit up. In the original history, there was also a famous hydropower station on the Songhua River, that is, the Fengman Hydropower Station built by the Japanese!

In 1936, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command twice instructed the puppet puppet "Manchukuo" it supported to come forward and build a 180,000-kilowatt Fengman hydropower station on the Songhua River within five years. Tokuo Honma, director of the Puppet Manchurian Electric Construction Bureau, formulated a plan for the construction of a Homan Hydroelectric Power Station.

In 1942, the dam was impounded, and by March 25, 43, the first unit was put into operation to generate electricity. It was the largest hydropower plant in Asia at the time. In order to build this hydropower station. Chinese laborers have paid a heavy price. At that time, the Japanese deceived and recruited a large number of laborers from North and Northeast China by falsely reporting the place of work or fabricating preferential treatment, and using "good food, good housing, and high wages, and free delivery home at the end of the three-year period."

It is understood that from 1937 to 1941, the Japanese invaders recruited a total of 110,000 people from Kannai. Furthermore. The Japanese also took in the security reinforcement team, assigned laborers in Tohoku, and used prisoners. According to a labor count book of the Northeast Hydropower Bureau during the Manchurian period, about 200,000 laborers were involved in the construction of the dam. On average, 10,000 to 12,000 workers build dams every day, with a peak of 18,000.

It is not known how many Chinese workers were exhausted and frozen. The Japanese alone confessed to more than 5,000 people. In the ditch next to the hydropower station, there are three natural ditches more than 100 meters long, 6 meters wide and 4 meters deep, which have abandoned and buried countless Chinese laborers. At that time, due to the excessive number of dead laborers, the white bones here covered the wilderness, and it became a desolate and terrifying shijie of wild dogs devouring corpses, which is also known as the plump mass grave!

There is no doubt that the Fengman Hydropower Station was built with the blood and bones of Chinese workers, but it has to be said that the Fengman Hydropower Station is of great significance to China. Originally, the Japanese designed the installed capacity of 560,000 kVA, but until the defeat of the Japanese, only 89 percent of the Fengman hydropower station was completed, and it is unclear how much the total power generation capacity will reach.

However, according to the data of later generations in China, the annual stable power generation capacity can reach more than 2.7 billion hours, and although the scale of the later generations is slightly larger than the original design of the Japanese, it is possible to reach 2.5 billion hours according to the Japanese design.

As recently as 1936, China's Kannai generated only about 3 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, just about the same as the Japanese colony of Korea. At this time, if Western jishu were completely adopted, the scale and level of the Fengman Hydropower Station would definitely surpass that of the Japanese.

A hydropower station can exceed the total power generation of the country, with such a treasure, it can definitely supply the power needs of Jilin, Changchun, Harbin and other places stably, and the development of the North Manchurian region will have an eyebrow.

Hydropower stations not only provide clean, sufficient, and cheap electricity, but also regulate flood peaks, alleviate flood and drought disasters, and supply irrigation to farmland on both sides of the river. In the later world, the three eastern provinces became the key investment sites for China's initial industrial construction, and in addition to abundant natural resources, the existence of Fengman Hydropower Station also added a lot of points.

As long as the hydropower station is built, the industrial level of the entire three eastern provinces will climb to a new level, and at that time, a truly complete industrial system will have a prototype.

In peacetime, the great powers would not easily help the Feng army build such a hydropower station, but now is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhang Tinglan thought about it, and finally decided to build the Fengman hydropower station in exchange.

Gu Weijun said Fengjun's jihua, and when the ministers of the Three Kingdoms heard this, their brows furrowed, the scale of this hydropower station was too big, and it was beyond the scope of their acceptance.

"Gu, if we want to build such a huge hydropower station, we need at least hundreds of millions of yuan, and we have no way to afford it, which is an unreasonable request." Eston said loudly.

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "We don't need all the contributions, as long as you help design, supervise the construction, and provide power generation equipment, as for the funds needed for the equipment, we can repay the proceeds of the hydropower station." In fact, this can be seen as a win-win cooperation, we know very well, the United States side has built a large number of hydropower stations in the Mississippi River Basin, and has mature experience and jishu. If cooperation can be reached on the Fengman Hydropower Station, in the future, under the rule of Fengjun, the construction of hydropower stations will give priority to the purchase of equipment, which is a big market. ”

When Klein heard this, he was completely moved, he was worried that because of the problem of the church, it would cause the Chinese people to hate foreigners, so that their economic interests would be greatly damaged, but if they could maintain cooperation in the hydropower station, their lost economic benefits would be made up.

"I think it's a good proposal, and the U.S. government will consider it."

The British and French ministers also looked at each other, and this request was not bad, in fact there was no economic loss to them, on the contrary, they would earn a lot of benefits if they did it well.

Therefore, Eiston also said: "We will think about it, but I hope that the Feng army can calm down public opinion as soon as possible, and no longer damage the image of those good missionaries." ”

Gu Weijun said: "I can only guarantee that the government will not come forward to criticize, but there are some voices from the people, and we can't do anything about it." Therefore, we propose that a missionary administration should be adopted, and that free proselytizing does not mean that missionaries can do wrong, and that they are also subject to supervision. ”

The three ministers knew that they were at a loss, so they could only get up and leave, Gu Weijun reported the situation of the negotiations to Wang Yongjiang, and Wang Yongjiang's face also showed joy.

"To build the dam this time, we not only have the largest hydropower station in Asia, but also learn how to design and build the hydropower station, and we must take out the real skills from the foreigners to lay the foundation for the future construction of our own hydropower station, and when the electricity is sufficient, the economy of the three eastern provinces will take off."

At this moment, Yuan Jinkai walked in with another person, and after seeing Wang Yongjiang, he said with a smile: "Brother Minyuan, this is Mr. Wu Tongju, who is also a water conservancy expert, let the foreigners help us build the hydropower station, we don't have someone who knows how to do it, so I invited him over." ”

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he also looked at Wu Tongju excitedly, he was forty or fifty years old, short and strong, and his face was honest. Wang Yongjiang and Yuan Jinkai briefed him on the situation and talked about the construction of a hydropower station on the Songhua River.

Wu Tongju suddenly showed a trace of guilt, and hurriedly said: "Governor Wang, Senator Yuan, it's true that I am engaged in water conservancy, but I mainly study the construction of embankments, flood control and irrigation, and the construction of hydropower stations. ”

"Mr. Wu, do you still know that there are such experts in China?"

Wu Tongju shook his head with difficulty: "Governor Wang, the top science and engineering talents in China are all in Fengtian, I really can't find this kind of expert, I'm ashamed!" ”

"Mr. Nawu, I don't need you to participate, can you do it just as an overseer, after all, the powers have too many thoughts, and no trustworthy people are watching, I'm afraid they will cheat during construction!"

"Interlacing is like separating mountains, and hydropower stations need to be used for decades, or even hundreds of years, and all aspects need to be considered, especially as the level of jishu improves, and the main engine needs to be replaced. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, we must leave room for it, but we don't know how to do it, if the great powers don't leave it for us, or make trouble, and when we update it in the future, they will knock us hard, it will be bad. In addition, such as the construction period, cost, equipment, etc., all need professionals, otherwise you will be deceived, Wu knows the importance of hydropower stations, but I really don't have this ability! ”

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and finally let the powers relent, but if he didn't have professional talents, and a good thing turned into a bad thing, it would be self-defeating.

Just when they were at a loss, suddenly the secretary ran over: "Governor Wang, the marshal has sent a telegram for you to see for yourself!" (To be continued......)
