For Japan, which has only completed the initial industrialization, machinery and equipment and jishu talents are more valuable than money, and they will not be willing to give them to China, but there are always some people who are not valued in Japan but are very interested in the Chinese. For example, Keiji Fukuda, the designer of the Nagato-class battleships (historically he was also the designer of the Yamato-class battleships), was snubbed because the Japanese Navy had abandoned the construction of battleships, but for China, which lacked warship design talents, it didn't matter if the battleships were about to become obsolete, because China did not even have the talents to design such outdated warships, and the Shijie-class battleship designers were urgently needed to help the Germans design and build the Hindenburg-class battleships. The two sides hit it off, and Keiji Fukuda, his assistants and some students came to China for $10 million.

At first, the Japanese side felt that it was profitable, but later Fukuda Keiji first presided over the design of the Hindenburg-class battleship, the strongest in the history of Shijie, and participated in the design of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier (Note 1), and later took full responsibility for the design and construction of the new China's large surface ships under the full trust of the Chinese leadership, and brought out many outstanding Chinese disciples, known as the "father of China's large surface ships", which made the Japanese regret it and "sold" themselves back then Keiji Fukuda, who has always been obsessed with it, never returned to China once in his life

Although Keiji Fukuda lost his usefulness due to the change in the development course of the Japanese Navy, he had already achieved fame before. And there are even some talents who have never been able to get ahead because of the lack of vision of the higher departments, such as Ryonosuke Abe, the former head of the fuel section of the Fushun shale oil plant. In order to solve the shortcomings of Japan's oil shortage, this person invented the sulfuric acid flushing method after countless experiments and long-term research, which can process inferior oil such as shale oil into high-quality heavy oil, which can be used by heavy oil boilers and large diesel engines, but his boss has an almost paranoid insistence on "saving", thinking that the sulfuric acid flushing method will lead to a loss of about 10% of the raw oil, "It's too wasteful!" And he didn't want to think about the new craftsmanship that had been shelving Ryonosuke Abe. Even if it's only 90 percent. The value of power oil is 100% inferior oil that can only be used for fire heating

After the liberation of Tohoku, although Abe Ryonosuke was fortunate enough to escape back to China, he was completely useless due to the limited oil shale reserves in Japan, and was forced to change his research direction to study coal-to-liquid projects. At this time, Hu Weidong listened to the recommendation of Ryonosuke Abe's captured colleagues. But he became interested in it. In particular, he was added to the list.

Hu Weidong is well aware that once China has completely completed industrialization. The amount of oil needed would be terrifying (now that China's industrialization is less than halfway complete, the amount of oil consumed is already staggering). However, China's domestic oil is not only generally buried deeply, but also has high extraction costs. And the reserves are obviously insufficient relative to China's future terrifying oil demand, and the gap can be filled by imports in peacetime, but if it is too dependent on imports, once the international situation changes, the consequences will be very serious, so in any case, China itself must have at least half of the production capacity and reserve reserves required in peacetime, so Hu Weidong has always attached great importance to the substitutes for oil such as coal-to-oil and shale oil, of which the production cost of shale oil is at least lower than that of coal-to-liquid. And the quality is better, and China has a staggering amount of oil shale reserves (but still nowhere near the United States), so it's only natural that Abe should be taken seriously.

At first, Abe Ryonosuke did not want to work for China, a former enemy, but he also wanted to see his research results applied and promoted, and for a time his thoughts were very entangled, and at this time, the idea of the third generation of "Pan-Asianism" (Note 2) gradually emerging in Japan gave him an excuse to convince himself, coupled with the effective political and ideological work of the Red Party, Abe Ryonosuke finally changed his attitude and led the "artificial oil" research group of several branch projects, including shale oil and coal-to-liquid, to achieve many important scientific and technological achievements, which has made a significant contribution to China's energy security.

In addition to these tech experts, China has also recruited mid-level technicians and skilled workers from Japan, some of whom are urgently needed in Japan and are hired at high salaries, while others are recruited from certain industries that are currently sluggish in Japan but are thriving in China, and the prices are much lower. Although the Japanese authorities know that China's move will shake Japan's foundation, in the short term, Japan will not only be able to reduce the pressure on domestic employment, but will also be able to obtain additional remittance income, and the benefits will still be considerable, and it will also help Japan get rid of its dependence on US aid as soon as possible

Note 1: At that time, many warship design masters were not only proficient in the design of one type of ship, but the problem was that Japan already had excellent aircraft carrier designers, so if Keiji Fukuda remained in Japan, even if the transformation was successful, it would still be difficult to get opportunities, and in China, where there is a blank slate, the situation is completely different.

Note 2: "Pan-Asianism", also known as "Greater Asianism" or "Greater Asianism", was first put forward by some Japanese thinkers before and after the Meiji Restoration, and there are two main views, one is that "Asia is the Asia of Asians", and the other is that "Japan has the obligation and responsibility to lead Asia against Western colonial Shili", and its apparent goal is to unite Asian countries to drive out Western colonial Shili, but in fact it has become the theoretical basis for Japan's invasion of Asian countries.

Later, Sun Yat-sen revised it to a certain extent and put forward his own "Pan-Asianism", pointing out that only when China and Japan work together and complement each other can they lead the whole of Asia to drive out Western colonialism and complete the great rejuvenation of Eastern civilization

And in this time and space, when the People's Liberation Army defeated the Japanese Army, Japan began to generally recognize the strength of the People's Liberation Army Army, and the new China "600 million (due to the early realization of peace in the country, the birth peak also appeared in advance. The people have 600 million soldiers, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and thousands of miles of camps. The policy of all-in-one soldiers made the Japanese completely lose confidence in expanding to the mainland, and the Japanese army was losing strength day by day, so it "invaded China and conquered Asia." The traditional claims were seldom brought up by the Japanese, and instead began to be advocated that "China controls the land, Japan controls the sea, and the two countries work together to drive the 'snow-skinned dolphin' ("white pig") out of our Asia." This is the third generation of "Pan-Asianism" (to be continued......
