The steel industry has always been the most important embodiment of a country's war potential, how much steel, what kind of war can be fought, especially in the contest between industrialized countries, except for France, which was quickly kicked out of the country, World War II and other participating countries are competing for war potential, real internal strength competition, can not tolerate a little false.

From 50,000 tons to 100,000 tons, it is definitely a pass, when it is less than 100,000 tons, various constructions in Fengtian need to import steel, and after more than 100,000 tons, basically the steel industry can meet its own needs. And with such a scale, it can continue to cultivate talents, as the cradle of the entire steel industry, now there is only one factory, and then there will be two or three, and the development can enter the fast lane.

It is precisely because of these benefits in all aspects that Zhang Tinglan also attaches great importance to Xia Han: "No matter what, you have to develop the steel plant, just tell me what you need, and the Fengjun will do their best to help you solve it, but I also want to tell you that boy, if you can't do it, you will also be engaged in military law!" ”

"Old sir, don't worry, I am also a soldier under you, I know what is being fought on the battlefield, the more steel we have, the more advanced the weapons, we can fight with others for this steel, otherwise we can only fill with our lives, the more steel production now, the better, it is to save the lives of the soldiers!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's good to be able to see these, after moving these machines and talents back this time, do you need anything?" ”

"Yes!" Xia Han nodded and said, "Old Sir, can you find a way to separate the coal and iron ore in Benxi and supply it to Anshan Iron and Steel for use?" ”

In the original history, the Japanese had swallowed all the coal and iron deposits in the Benxi mining area at this time, but after Zhang Tinglan's intervention, the Japanese only got half of the coal mines. There were also ten major iron mines and coal mines in the hands of the Feng army, and the Japanese tried to swallow them several times, but they were blocked by the Feng army.

Just recently, Okura Kihachiro also invested in Russian bonds, wanting to make a big profit, but the bonds all turned into blank paper, and Okura Kihachiro, the old guy, suddenly lost half his life, and because Fengtian controlled the controlling power of Benxi Coal and Iron Company, Fengjun has launched an offensive against Okura, demanding that he be responsible for the failure of the investment. At the same time, the management of the entire company should be cleaned up.

At this time, it reflected the effect of Zhang Tinglan's original arrangement, with the controlling stake as the backing, Fengjun has successively cleaned up more than a dozen Japanese middle and senior management, and Benxihu Coal and Iron Company gradually fell into Fengjun's control.

Now what Zhang Tinglan wants to do most is to drive the Japanese out completely, if he follows Xia Han's suggestion. Handing over the coal and iron mine to Anshan Iron and Steel can further depress the value of Benxihu Coal and Iron Company. For forcing the Japanese to let go. It's also a good chip.

"Yes, but this is only temporary, if the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company is completely back to us in the future, we must return these resources to Benxi, so that the two steel plants can be balanced."

"Yes!" Xia Han went north this time and gained a lot. got talents, got a lot of machines, and got Zhang Tinglan's promise. It can be said that it is a full load, just to be able to do a great job.

Just when Xia Han picks people. Fengtian sent another delegation over, led by Yuan Jinkai, accompanied by several Fengjun university presidents who went north, and Kuang Rongguang also came with him.

As soon as they met, Yuan Jinkai said with a smile: "Humble words, Governor Wang was going to come over in person, but he was too busy with official business, so he had to let me come over, but you can't hide your secrets, these universities in Fengtian are waiting for teachers!" ”

Kuang Rongguang also said with a smile on the side: "Not only the university is important, but also my mining college and the railway engineering school, so you can't be partial!" ”

Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Kuang, when I sent you a telegram, I only found more than a hundred lecturers and professors, which sounds like a lot, but I can't stand up to the assignment at all." However, during this time, I have found a large number of talents, as many as five or six hundred, which can fully satisfy your appetite. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, Kuang Rongguang's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "Humble words, don't make fun of us, Russia's education level is at the bottom of the great powers, even those famous cities in Europe can't get so many talents, how did you get it?" ”

"Mr. Kuang, there is no Europe in Europe, it doesn't mean that the Far East doesn't have it, but these talents are a bit special, let's talk slowly!"

After Zhang Tinglan invited the delegation to his office, poured coffee for them all, and said with a smile: "This is the captured trophy, in the winter, drinking it warms the stomach." ”

"Clumsy words, now I can't drink the taste of jade liquid elixir, you hurry up and tell us, where did so many talents come from? Now the three eastern provinces have built several universities in one go, and each university must develop science and engineering education, so that it is not difficult for us to teach Chinese language and English, but it is too difficult for us to teach physics and chemistry. ”

Anything can leap forward, only talent training can not be crossed, the training of a college student takes at least more than ten years, a scientific researcher is not thirty or forty years old, can not get results at all, senior jishu workers do not have more than ten years of training, it is impossible to bake.

No matter how much Zhang Tinglan has a way, he cannot quickly instill knowledge and skills into the minds of others, and there is a lack of talent, and there is also a lack of talent who can train talent, which is also a common problem faced by the Fengjun education circles.

Yuan Jinkai also said with a smile: "Humble words, Governor Wang has explained to me, you must help solve the teacher's problem, this is your own trouble, you will end it." ”

"Mr. Yuan, where do you start with this?" Zhang Tinglan asked puzzled.

"In a few years, a large number of students will graduate from secondary schools and enter universities to receive education. As a result, at this time, there are not enough teachers in the university, and a large number of students are blocked from the university. ”

Although there is a joke in this statement, it also says a problem, although basic education is important, but also to consider the way out of students, there is no certain number of high-quality universities, or there are no excellent talents.

Zhang Tinglan smiled bitterly: "It seems that this time I sent troops to Hailan Bao, this move is really right, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain it to Mr. Min Yuan!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "You may not know. The Far East was the place where the tsars exiled criminals, and among these criminals there was a group of people called political prisoners, and their composition was very complex, among which there were a large number of scholars, experts and professors. There were even authorities in a field who were banished to the Far East. After we took over the Hyland bubbles. A total of five or six thousand political prisoners were found, including more than 1,000 high-ranking intellectuals. ”

After Zhang Tinglan's introduction, Kuang Rongguang's breathing became short, after all, Tsarist Russia is an old power, and their high-end talents are compared to China. After all, China's new education has been popularized for less than 20 years, and although many overseas students have returned to China, Kwong Rongguang is very clear about the extent of these international students.

Chinese students are divided into three, six, nine and so on. There is also a great deal of variation, and the best of them are undoubtedly students studying in the United States, many of whom have become Chinese jishu authorities, but the number of such students is scarce, and the favorite place for Chinese students is Japan.

The students who stayed in Japan were uneven, the Japanese hid their smuggling very seriously, and many good things were not handed over to the Chinese students, and after these students arrived in Japan, they often spent all their days drinking and participating in various travel parties, but as a result, they did not learn anything about their real skills.

However, even if they are students studying in the United States, they are only students after all, and they are still a lot worse than senior professors in Europe and the United States. Now that Zhang Tinglan said that there are a large number of Russian professors and scholars, how can Kuang Rongguang not be ecstatic!

"To put it mildly, we want these intellectuals, they are persecuted in Russia, and there is no need to worry about them when they go to the three eastern provinces, we promise to provide them with the most scientific research environment and let them play at will."

"Mr. Kuang, don't worry, let me finish speaking!" Zhang Tinglan said: "These people are all political prisoners, some are false-accused, some are also justified, we need to use their talents, and at the same time, we must beware of these people biting us back." We must not invite revolutionaries to our homes, other Jews and nationalists can use them, but they must also be strictly guarded, and those who are not strong-willed and who love luxury must be drawn to our side completely. ”

Yuan Jinkai nodded: "The humble words are right, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Besides, we still have a hostile relationship with Russia, these people must be used, but they must also be guarded against, and we must draw up a detailed charter, but we must not get a time bomb back. ”

Kuang Rongguang also understood, calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, he also nodded: "Humble words, don't worry, we will definitely pay attention!" ”

After explaining everything clearly, Yuan Jinkai, Kuang Rongguang and others were full of joy and went to accept this Russian talent, and Yuan Jinkai and others carefully calculated that with these six or seven hundred Russian high-level talents, the teachers of several universities in the three eastern provinces could basically be matched.

Moreover, some Russian experts can be used to take the lead in some scientific research work and track the development of Shijie's jishu. This point is simply too crucial, so far, although the Japanese are also known as great powers, but most of their jishu are deceived from Europe and the United States, and not many of them have made their own.

Even in later generations, the Japanese were not very original, and they were better at taking Western jishu and packaging it themselves to make the most exquisite products.

If Fengjun possesses a certain degree of scientific research ability, he will be able to find out the weaknesses of the Japanese in a targeted manner, develop his own countermeasures, and develop new types of weapons.

Not only did they take these Russians away, but they also moved the laboratories of several universities in Hailan by the way, and all of them were brought back to the three eastern provinces.

In addition to these grabbing talents, Fan Xudong and Wu Yulin also rushed over, Fan Xudong is in charge of the chemical plant has been basically completed, with Hou Debang and other professionals in place, has been exploring the production of jishu, it just so happens that Hailan has a military chemical plant, mainly for the army to produce explosives, although the scale is not large, the equipment is not advanced, but there is a full set of production processes and formulas.

With this thing, the chemical plant can save a lot of time and go directly to the production stage, so Fan Xudong is particularly excited.

"Mr. Zhang, if the chemical plant didn't have your help, I am afraid that it would not be officially put into operation in a few years, but now with these materials, we will be able to come up with products within a few months, thank you so much!"

"Mr. Fan, don't say kind words, if you come up with the product one day earlier, the Feng army will be stronger, otherwise how can you gain a foothold on Russian soil!"

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we will do a good job, just ask you to occupy a few more cities, move a little more good things, our development can be faster!" (To be continued......)
