It was August 1907, and the Russians were clamoring for the city of Beijing to be turned into powder within two months, but Chen Tianhua set 1908 as the first year of the republic.

In addition, the development of the internal affairs of the republic is also on track, although Beijing is facing war, and the Prime Minister's cabinet has shouted the slogan of everything for war, but development really cannot be stopped because of war. Chen Tianhua knew this truth in the Northeast, and the plans they made at that time were basically not realized, but you must continue to make plans, tell the people that you plan to move forward, and you believe that you can go forward.

And if a country as big as China really stopped developing because of the war with the Russians, it would be a joke. Only by letting foreigners see that China is developing while fighting a war can the vitality of New China be demonstrated.

Fighting a war is Yang Xiaolin's business, and development is Chen Tianhua's business. Chen Tianhua made a three-front development strategy, taking the Yellow River as the boundary, and the area north of the Yellow River fully supported the Beijing battlefield, and all human, material, and financial resources were concentrated on the war. Before the war with the Russians ended, the construction of infrastructure except agriculture and education had largely stopped.

In the area south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River, although the traditional national economy was severely hit, and the blockade of the British made the national capitalists miserable, the military industry and heavy industry were pulled by the war, especially after cooperating with the Japanese, and the mining industry developed rapidly. found a way out for the national capitalists.

Chen's strategy here is to be stable, relying on heavy industry and mining to maintain the situation. We will strive to turn this area into a military base to support the war effort. The construction of hospitals, schools, and a series of infrastructure will also be carried out slowly.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, Chen Tianhua demanded that the government's efforts be used to merge many small ethnic factories into large factories to strengthen their ability to withstand the storm. Even if it is very difficult now, preferential treatment has been given to national industry in terms of policy. Trying to keep them alive.

In order to break the blockade of the British, the government also encouraged merchants and foreigners to cooperate and find ways to sell their goods. He even did not hesitate to sell the equity of the factory to foreign merchants who could get through the goods.

This policy is really very eye-catching, those foreign businessmen are also very shrewd, China has resources, there are manpower. There is a market. It is only because they are blocked by the British that they give away their equity in this way, as long as they have the ability to sell the goods of the Chinese, they can get the equity out of thin air, and such profits will make many businessmen ignore the British policy.

In short, the three-line strategy is to develop on the one line and stabilize on the first line, and strive to confine the damage to the productive forces brought about by the war to the area north of the Yellow River. The policy has been implemented, and it is not clear what the effect will be. However, the formulation of a development policy is itself a message to the masses about the government's confidence in the war.

Countries in the world have had mixed reactions to the two decisions made by the Chinese government. The Americans expressed their appreciation for the Chinese government in the matter of non-alignment, and at the same time adopted a tacit attitude towards some American businessmen who wanted to come to China and take risks.

Minister Conger said. The United States appreciates China's non-alignment policy, and if the time comes, the U.S. government is willing to allow Yuan Shikai's representative to travel to Pittsburgh so that the two sides can start a dialogue on some commercial treaties.

Conger was obviously afraid that Sun Wen would continue to fight to the death, and gave a clear definition of the so-called ripe conditions, that is, at least Beijing should be safe. In other words, you must repel this attack by the Russians. When it comes to this, Sun Wen doesn't have to do anything anymore, and if he wins the war against Russia, the Americans are willing to talk to China.

Germany and Austria-Hungary said that they understood China's diplomatic strategy, and that the relationship between Germany and Austria and China was not affected by this statement, and they expressed strong support for Chen Tianhua's development strategy.

The Germans said that the matter of returning the Gengzi annual indemnity that had been agreed with China would be carried out as scheduled, and at the same time, the German side would also provide a loan of 10 million marks to support the Chinese side in the just war.

To be honest, Germany is also using China to drag the Russians, and it has never thought that you can help them in Europe. Therefore, as long as China and the Russians continue to fight, relations with Germany and Austria will not be affected by any problems.

10 million marks is a lot of income, but you must know that the Russians' military supplies were aided by the French, and the consumption of Russian materials on the battlefield was several times that of China, that is, they gave China 10 million, and the French might have to give 50 million to the Russians to ensure that the Russians had the ability to continue the attack.

The Germans will settle accounts.

The German Emperor Wilhelm II had already expressed his support for the ongoing war of the Chinese, did Chen Tianhua declare 08 the first year of the republic? On January 1, 08, the twenty-three-year-old German Prince Attel Bet will visit China on behalf of Wilhelm II.

This is the first time that Wilhelm II has sent a special envoy to visit an Asian country since he came to power, and it is also the first time he has sent a prince as a representative to visit abroad! In this way, the Germans are teasing the nerves of the British, trying to make the British misunderstand the relationship between Germany and China even more. If the British Empire were to send troops to fight in China now, that would be what William wanted to see the most.

It's a pity that the Germans are shrewd and the British are not stupid, and Britain and France did not react to Mr. Sun Wen's foreign policy, let alone comment on Chen Tianhua's development strategy, although William made this move to tease the British, but the British Empire pretended not to see it.

Sun Wen, of course, would not be stupid to explain, and he welcomed the decision of the German emperor. The diplomatic freezing point has not been broken, but this statement by New China has indeed made life a little better, and at least there is hope.

And Mr. Sun Wen began his next diplomatic plan, and after conquering the fortress of the United States, his eyes were fixed on neutral countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium.

Such a country has already expressed its neutrality in Europe. As for China and Russia, on the one hand, they do not support China as much as Germany, and on the other hand, they maintain diplomatic relations with China at the ambassadorial level. It's just that due to the British blockade and their own limited capabilities, there is no difference between what they do and what they don't do well.

However, Mr. Sun did not think so, he believed that his diplomatic strategy was absolutely correct, and if he wanted to force the British to abandon the blockade of China, it was necessary to expand China's international influence, Commander Yang's war must be fought well, and Premier Chen's domestic affairs must be well developed. What he wants to do is give China more access to the West. Don't treat others as European gentlemen just because they are small.

Mr. Sun is really a human being, and he did not propose Belgium to do any diplomatic exchanges. I just told the Belgian ambassador that China is now in a state of ruins, and some counties and towns are in urgent need of construction.

He said that when he was young, he traveled to Europe and visited small towns in Belgium, and hoped that the towns in China could be built with beautiful scenery like small Belgian towns. So. The Chinese government would like to send a delegation to Belgium for on-the-spot investigations.

The mission also did not have any political affiliation. Never carry out political activities for any political purpose, just go to take some photos, visit the architect, if the Belgian government is willing to receive it, if it is not willing to receive Chinese, you can take care of your own accommodation. It is sufficient to ask the Belgian side to facilitate the inspection of the mission.

The same was said for the Dutchman Sun Wen. Sun Wen's trick can be said to be very simple, and anyone can conclude that once Sun Wen organizes a group to go to them, he will investigate. The scale is absolutely grand. Whatever the purpose of such an expedition to their territory, it is a kind of political propaganda! The Chinese will report even if they don't say anything, and the Belgian newspapers will report it.

The Dutch and Belgians don't have as many concerns as the United States. People are small countries, and small countries have this advantage, and he is not afraid of misunderstanding by the British. For the British could not have feared that Belgium would cause them any trouble.

As for saying that China is expanding its influence, the Belgians can find sufficient reasons, and now the two sides have not broken off diplomatic relations, even if they have broken off diplomatic relations, the Chinese organize groups to come to us for sightseeing, and people will pay for their own travel expenses, we can't say that we can't let people come, right?

What's more, after the attitude of the Americans began to loosen, it seemed that these small countries could not afford to offend China, and there was nothing to be gained.

The Dutch only vaguely agreed, but the Belgians, considering the attitude of the German side, promised Sun Wen that they would give a warm reception to the Chinese delegation when they came to Belgium.

Diplomacy, domestic affairs, is the battlefield of China and the British Empire. The British Empire has set up a blockade line, and the Chinese are attacking this position, which is also a war, and only by winning the war can the Chinese have the capital to enter the world stage.

Shandong, Yimeng Mountain.

Yang Xiaolin has already seen Zhou Tong's tank, although the firepower and speed make Yang Xiaolin, who has seen ZTZ99, a little dissatisfied, but Zaitao and those officers all feel that the big thing is magical, Zaitao concluded that once such a tank is on the battlefield, it will definitely be able to defeat the Russian troops!

Zhou Tong gave them a test, the armor made small and medium-sized artillery basically helpless, not to mention bullets and grenades, and the track, which not only avoided the danger of the wheels being trapped on the battlefield, but also crushed the enemy.

It's the equivalent of having a mobile turret in battle! One battery may not decide anything in a war, but when dozens of moving batteries appear, it definitely has the ability to decide a war.

Also, Zaitao is a person who understands military affairs, and he knows how dangerous it is for soldiers to charge on the battlefield. With this tank charge, the soldiers at least did not have to use their bodies to meet the enemy's bullets.

At this moment, Zaitao really no longer doubted Yang Dagui's ability to defeat the Russians.

Yang Xiaolin made a decision, and when Wu Zhaolin's Third Front Army went to the battlefield, they would bring these five tanks and ten armored vehicles to the battlefield to see the results, and when they gave feedback on the performance of the tanks on the battlefield, they would immediately put them into large-scale production after improving and perfecting them.

The requirement for Zhou Tong was to produce 50 tanks in December, and there was no need to train new tank units, so the advance independent division of the second pole was changed to the first armored division of China, and it was incorporated into the combat sequence of the Fourth Army, led by Zaitao, from Daqingshan, together with those cavalrymen, to launch a lightning strike against the Russian military strength in Mongolia, cutting off the retreat of 650,000 Russian troops deep into China.

This decision really made Zaitao excited.

Thinking that he would use these steel monsters to charge the Russian troops, Zaitao couldn't think of what the scene would look like. However, there is one thing he can be sure of, Commander Yang said, the heart-piercing battle was launched by the Fourth Front Army, with more than 90,000 people, plus these guys, as well as a thousand artillery pieces and strong melee firepower, Zaitao felt that he didn't need to go to a place where the Russians were empty.

Just fight Lao Maozi's heavy army group! Now that the Russians have 150,000 troops under the command of Stessel to defend a huge Mongolia, and that man is defeated, Belle Ye decided to give him a little more color this time, and it is better to capture him again, this time escorting him back to Beijing to parade the streets!

Zaitao's passion is a little impatient to burn. (To be continued......)
