"We have signed an agreement with the United States to build the Sichuan-Hankou and Ning-Han railways, as long as the construction is completed, Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang will be integrated, and the transportation efficiency of the railway will inevitably increase significantly. The existing Luhan Railway and Jinpu Railway should also be rectified, unified standards, expanded double lines, and doubled capacity. In addition, the Yangtze River Bridge should be built in Wuhan to directly connect the three towns together, instead of taking the ferry, so that the three towns of Wuhan will surely usher in a period of rapid development. ”

Jiang Baili listened to Zhang Tinglan's spending plan on the side, and nodded frequently, this stroke is indeed a bit amazing.

"To put it mildly, since ancient times, the Yangtze River has been a moat, and if you want to build a bridge, I'm afraid there will be no less investment."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "If you want to develop industry, the investment in infrastructure must keep up, otherwise it is a fantasy, how the moat is, sooner or later it will become a thoroughfare, and not only Wuhan, Nanjing should also be built, so that the barrier between the north and the south will be completely broken." Our army will be able to drive from Beijing to Nanjing in a day or two at most, and at such a speed, the southern province will no longer want to engage in any independence, and the whole country will be united. ”

"In addition to investing in these infrastructures, I am also preparing to expand the Hanyang Iron Works, so that the steel production capacity will increase to 200,000 tons, in addition to Sichuan and other places are rich in water resources, just Fengman Hydropower Station is almost completed, relying on the accumulation of Jishu personnel, to the southwest to overhaul hydropower, there are roads, there is electricity, and the industry will develop!"

Jiang Baili also nodded: "This investment is good, but there are still two major problems, one is security, and the other is funding. ”

As soon as he mentioned money, Zhang Tinglan showed a smug smile: "Brother Baili." Rest assured, money is not an issue! ”

When Zhang Tinglan said this, her tone was not ordinary, and she dared to take money seriously, which was really a bit bold, but Zhang Tinglan had this confidence.

In this earthquake in Japan, he made a profit of nearly 200 million yuan by shorting the yen, which seems to be not a small number. However, at this time, the liquidity of capital was far less than that of later generations, and Japan was relatively closed. In particular, the number one war criminal, Hirohito, although he has not yet ascended to the throne of the emperor, has also shown a very bold side, and has taken control measures to continue arbitrage. It's difficult.

However, Zhang Tinglan's bad intentions will definitely not end, just cleaning up the scene of the earthquake. It's going to take a few months. Zhang Tinglan still has a chance to make a move, he has already sharpened his knife and is ready to detonate a bomb, that is the problem of Holiday Yuan.

Since getting the three trees in Anhui, Fengjun has been printing holiday dollars on a large scale, basically printing about 100 million yuan a year. And by the end of World War I, in order to rush to buy equipment, Zhang Tinglan printed more than 300 million yuan a year, which is now in circulation in the market. There are at least about 1 billion holiday yuan, a considerable part of which has entered the hands of Europe and the United States and other countries.

If this problem is brought to the fore, the blow to the yen will inevitably be even heavier, and it can be said that it will make matters worse, and at least another 200 million yuan in profits will be squeezed out, and with this money, there will be hope for the development of Wuhan and the southwest.

Jiang Baili also knew that Zhang Tinglan had some special means, this young man could always get money from special channels, which was also Zhang Tinglan's ability to start a business, and they just had to work. If, as Zhang Tinglan had planned, China's industrial capacity would be more than twice that of Japan, then the tiny island nation would no longer be a threat.

"To put it mildly, now that the training of the troops has been basically completed, and the commanders at all levels have been selected, but the division commander of the Guards Division has not yet been selected, according to my thoughts, it is best to hand it over to Wei Jiu (Zhang Tingshu)."

The Guards Division shoulders the security of Beijing and Tianjin, and has a heavy responsibility, and as the saying goes, brothers in war, father and son soldiers go into battle, it is natural for Zhang Tingshu to take this position, and according to the plan, the Guards Division should strengthen mechanized equipment, and Zhang Tingshu is an expert in armored operations, so it is natural to hand it over to him.

However, Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand: "The first division should be handed over to Zhang Henian, as for Tingshu, I have other arrangements." ”

Jiang Baili also smiled bitterly: "The second young master's ability is still well known, humble words, don't waste food because of choking, waste a general." ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "I have already planned, he should be satisfied." ”

As a superior, the most important thing is to be fair, so that everyone is convinced, if Zhang Tingshu is placed in the position of the commander of the first division, even if he relies on his ability to go up, others will regard it as nepotism, and the so-called upward and downward effect will not be able to manage.

However, Zhang Tinglan was not allowed to wronged his second brother, thinking about it, he was ready to arrange Zhang Tingshu to the Marine Corps. This new unit, which has just been formed, has not received much attention, after all, the navy has not been formed, and what role can a marine corps have.

But the role of the Marine Corps, Zhang Tinglan is clear, this is the sharp knife of overseas attacks, whether it is against Japan, or against the South Seas, the Marine Corps is the vanguard, and this force is relatively independent, let Zhang Tingshu manage, basically equivalent to the troops in his own cuffs, but at any time, others can't talk about the long term.

Zhang Tinglan explained that it was almost done, and then said to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, you still have to work hard, according to the existing military strength and future development, draw up a complete set of strategies for fighting against Japan, and also have corresponding strategies for Russia and Nanyang." As long as the country stabilizes, we will have to go out, at least to restore the Shili range in East Asia. ”

The obsession with land has almost penetrated into the bones of the Chinese, and it just so happens that there are no nuclear weapons now, as long as it is a land bordering area, Zhang Tinglan does not believe that anyone can fight the Chinese army. Although he has to focus on recuperation and recuperation in the future, Zhang Tinglan is ready to pave the way for the expansion of the territory.

As soon as Jiang Baili left, Premier Tang Shaoyi came over again, and when he saw Tang Shaoyi, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Humble words, you are still an old god, the Japanese suffered an earthquake, and many people in China also appealed for donations to Japan, and some parliamentarians even suggested providing disaster relief materials." ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "After cleaning up so many pro-Japanese elements, how can there be people who don't have a long memory." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled disapprovingly: "Humble words, people are doing this for humanitarianism, and they can't refute it if they want to." What's more, we are also neighbors with Japan, and we have to get by with a knife in our hearts. ”

"It's okay to get by with a face, so let's send two warships over to help the Japanese in disaster relief. As for whether they want to use it, that's their business, and another 5,000 yuan donation, some food and quilts, and that's it. ”

When Tang Shaoyi heard this, his face twitched slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Humble words, this is a little too hard to handle!" ”

"Why, if we are the Heavenly Empire, we have to throw a lot of money. What's more, even if we are still, but Japan is no longer a vassal, and when we robbed 230 million, we were not soft at all. ”

In fact, 5000 is not less, converted to later generations, there are hundreds of thousands, I remember that a big country gave 100,000 dogs that have been raised for hundreds of years, and they were praised by a bunch of people, this is the blood and sweat of respecting taxpayers, and China must also keep up with the trend of shijie.

"Prime Minister, I'll give you another idea, if anyone still encourages donations, you will order a team of volunteers, and whoever shouts the loudest will let them pass, so that they can also share the weal and sorrow with the Japanese."

"Cheng, that's it, anyway, I don't have much money to send to the Japanese."

Japan, which had just been hit by a major earthquake, soon received warm and sincere condolences from the Chinese side and was full of sincere concern, believing that the disciplined Japanese people would certainly be able to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homeland.

In Zuihou, the Chinese government generously provided 5,000 yuan, 100 quilts, 2,000 kilograms of food, 10 tents, and 200 canned food, which were transported to Japan by the warships Hairong and Montenegro, and carried 50 professional search and rescue teams to participate in the treatment of the wounded and the search for survivors.

Seeing this telegram, it simply infuriated the Japanese with internal injuries, this little thing was not enough to send them a meal and flowers, and the most hateful thing was that the Chinese side also wanted to take the opportunity to send naval warships over. Those search teams are probably looking for more information than saving people!

With the dirty hearts of the Japanese, of course, they did not appreciate China's care and expressed their gratitude for their kindness, but they immediately refused the request of the Chinese warship to enter the Japanese port, and even less allowed the Chinese side to send a rescue team.

This also slapped some overly enthusiastic people in the face in China, who don't want it, and it naturally has nothing to do with China.

He is stingy with the Japanese, but he is extremely generous to the domestic Zhang Tinglan, and has announced several large-scale infrastructure investment projects in a row. The country's railways must be unified into standard gauges, and the management and operation must also be unified, ending the history of China's railways being divided and occupied by foreign powers, and this investment alone is as much as 50 million.

Immediately, Zhang Tinglan announced an educational counterpart to support Jihua, that is, Fengtian for the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan, Jilin for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Heilongjiang for Huguang, and to transfer teaching talents from the three eastern provinces to promote primary and secondary education and literacy education.

According to Zhang Tinglan's jihua, every five years, the literacy rate of the population should be increased by 10 percent, that is to say, after 20 years, the literacy rate should be increased to 50 percent.

In order to achieve this education, the central government alone will have to increase its budget by 30 million yuan a year, and the local government will also have to allocate 20 percent of the budget, and it will also increase by a large margin year by year.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan is also ready to vigorously support a number of colleges and universities to form a group of industry-university-research bases in central China to create a new engine for China's industrial development.

Of course, in order to implement this jihua and really spend the money in a useful place, Zhang Tinglan decided to go to Huguang in person to see how to spend it. (To be continued......)
