And the annual output of more than 150,000 for the first time in the automobile industry and a larger number of various tractors not to mention, in fact, after the development of China's industry to the extent that it is today, the central leaders are more and more aware that than to increase production, training enough personnel to operate those jishu equipment seems to be a greater challenge, because of the lack of qualified operation and maintenance personnel, in 1943 China's tractors actually appeared in excess of demand, had to cut production in the next year, It can also be regarded as a big lesson in the process of China's industrialization in this time and space

Rather than the explosion in industrial output, Taizu and Hu Weidong are more concerned that the localization work is finally basically completed, and now even if all foreigners in China go on strike and the outside world is completely locked down, all of China's industrial sectors can continue to operate and produce all the products that were able to be produced before, but the performance and quality will be somewhat reduced, and the output may be reduced (but at least 2/3 of the previous one), but this alone is enough to make the Chinese government no longer afraid of outsiders stuck.

It is also funny to say that after the Chinese government gained confidence, those foreign technicians and workers in China were instigated, and not only did they rarely make trouble anymore, but they also worked much harder. But it's no wonder that those who are really willing to fight the fascists acquiesce in the Chinese government (of course, the allies need to pay liquidated damages, but the United States has deep pockets and doesn't care about this money). All of them went to the Soviet Union to serve as volunteers early next morning, and those who stayed behind were basically just ordinary people who were afraid of death, and now there is really no second place like China where they can enjoy peace and pay a high enough price. They live a good life, weishenme want to open up self-inflicted hardship? The original strike was only so unscrupulous because the Chinese wanted it, but now that the Chinese government is tough, they naturally soften. Of course, this is also because although China continues to maintain trade with the Axis powers, after all, they have not joined the Axis powers, and they can still deceive themselves, otherwise there may not be no one who is angry and impulsive to do something

The lack of jishu personnel, especially the most basic low-level jishu personnel, is indeed troublesome, but in any case, the situation is still much better than in the early days of the founding of the country. In addition to the central government's great attention to universal education and the eradication of illiteracy. The more critical reason (because history also attaches great importance to it) is that the recovery of Taiwan, the occupation of the Indochina Peninsula and the return of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese have made New China at least 20 million more literate than when it was founded in history (this does not include those who do not know Chinese but are literate and millions of foreigners in China), which does not take into account the history since the Manchu Qing government abolished the imperial examination system until the founding of New China. The average literacy rate of Chinese has been declining (that is, the average literacy rate at the time of the liberation of the continent was higher than in 1950 in history), and the foundation in 1940 was much better than when the country was founded. Naturally, the difficulty of universal education is much lower. And it is much less difficult to train the literate population into low-level jishu personnel than it is to train illiterate. After Hu Weidong figured these out. I soon realized that perhaps I had overestimated the difficulty of China's industrialization

But. Despite the rapid development of China's industry, the Shijie powers did not have a full understanding of the current scale of China's industry due to the current policy of the Chinese government. In their view, the most worrying thing about China is its horrific population. But they don't know that China's population is now far greater than they expected

Due to the interference of banditry, immigration and other factors in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first national census that began long ago was not completed until the beginning of 1943, and China's total population actually reached an astonishing 690 million, you must know that the population statistics of the Republic of China used at this forefront have always believed that China has only 450 million people, even if there are now about 70 million people in the Indochina Peninsula, Taiwan and overseas returned Chinese, this 690 million figure is still too terrifying

After the analysis of the relevant departments, except for the rough and inaccurate population statistics of the Republic of China (it is now generally believed that the population of New China in 1949 was 540 million, while according to the official data of the Nanjing government, it was still 450 million. In addition to making the increase in the numbers more pronounced, China's population has indeed increased significantly in recent years.

This is mainly due to two reasons, one is the surge in the birth rate and the other is the rapid decline in population deaths. There are two main reasons for the surge in the birth rate, one is due to the continuous increase in fertilizer production and the acquisition of a large area of fertile land in the Indochina Peninsula, so that the long-term problem of eating that has plagued the Chinese has been basically solved, as the saying goes, "full of warm thoughts and lust", full of food and clothing, now the people's cultural and sports entertainment activities are still relatively poor, especially now China's pornography, gambling and drugs have been extinct (this contribution to the decline in mortality is also very large, especially anti-drugs, Moreover, the disappearance of prostitutes and the abstinence of drugs have alleviated the damage to the overall reproductive ability to a certain extent, and objectively increased the birth rate. However, the new form of entertainment has not yet been popularized, and men can only go home to accompany their wives when they are idle, so the children will naturally have more children; The second is that the production of contraceptives has not been paid attention to, and there is a lack of sufficient publicity, so they can only be bought in big cities, and the number of people who buy them is very small

In addition, some Chinese biologists made a difficult point to accept at the time, arguing that the external environment was full of dangers and the domestic environment was still not peaceful (it would take 47 years for the roving horse bandits to be eliminated, and the political movement also reduced the sense of security of the Chinese people, although the intensity and breadth were much lower than in history). It stimulates the self-preservation mechanism in the human gene, which greatly enhances the ability to reproduce, and uses many biological examples as evidence.

Although this argument was difficult to accept in China at the time, and the way these biologists compared animals to humans was even more difficult for some of the less educated cadres and masses to accept, so that many of them were shocked by this, if Hu Weidong had not come to his aid knowing that what they were saying was not nonsense, China's animal behavior research would probably have come to a long-term standstill. In fact, if it were not for this special factor, it would have been impossible for China to have a terrifying birth rate of more than 5% every year for the eight years from 1940 to 1947 (to be continued......
