Completely different from the slanders of some "pillars of the party-state" and "pillars of the spiritual party-state," our party has never been a terrorist who can only destroy and not build -- on the contrary, as early as the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, when the Ruijin revolutionary base area was completely blockaded and there were no experts or equipment, the "Chinese Soviet Republic" still worked hard to build small arsenals, clothing factories, printing houses, and other basic industrial facilities to maintain the wartime society, as well as post offices, medical centers, welfare cooperatives, and other livelihood projects that served the public.

At this moment, the Red Army has seized Shanghai, the largest industrial and commercial city in the country, with the largest industrial population and Jishu personnel in the country, and the conditions for construction are naturally more than 100 times better than those in the mountains of southern Gansu......

But even with such a rich material and human base, it was still quite difficult for the Shanghai Soviet power to build an industrial system out of thin air that could support a large-scale war in modernization.

-- When he really sat down with Fang Zhimin, Xun Huaizhou, and Chen Duxiu, who were the heroes of the Republic of China era, to seriously discuss the industrial construction of the Shanghai base area, Wang Qiu realized how absurd and outrageous the Republic of China novels he had read in the past, especially those that traveled to the Xinhai Revolution and easily led all kinds of revolutionary armies or "pseudo-revolutionary armies" to overthrow Beiyang, lay out World War I, and even cut meat from Tsarist Russia.

First of all, during the Xinhai Revolution, which lasted for a few months in total, those protagonists who had no foundation often just had to tinker with it. can build a strong army. A small group of battalion-level officers can immediately command thousands of troops, and even quickly train peasants who have been in the army for a few months into elite soldiers. And you have to fight the Beiyang strong army all over the place to find teeth?!

Please, how could the Chinese peasants in the years of the Xinhai Revolution have the national consciousness of the Anti-Japanese War era, why are they willing to work hard to train hard for a slogan of "Down with the Manchus", and still fight to the death for the revolution wholeheartedly...... Instead of treating the army as a part-time job, being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day. It's okay to think about plundering and buying things without paying?! Even if they are willing to train hard, jishu arms such as artillery and cavalry, as well as complex gameplay of infantry and artillery coordination. Is it another group of illiterate people who can practice haode in just a few months?

What is even more outrageous is that the Beiyang Army during the Xinhai Revolution has not yet expanded on a large scale as indiscriminately as it did in the future, and it is precisely "raising the soldiers of the six towns with the wealth of the world". When the actual combat effectiveness is the strongest.

Beiyang groups in the early Republic of China. In fact, it has the undisputed strongest combat power in the whole of China. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai, who initially only mastered the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Henan, would not have easily succeeded in subduing the whole country, forcing Sun Yat-sen to resign and abdicate, and forcing the provincial overseers to surrender at least nominally -- all this might have been achieved by the Beiyang Army's devastating and decaying fighting force!

It should be noted that Yuan Shikai is different from Chiang Kai-shek, and he has almost no control over the ointment of Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It can be said that there is only a gun barrel and no money bag, if this gun barrel is not sharp to a certain extent. How could Yuan Shikai ascend to the presidency?

Therefore, the Beiyang Army during the Xinhai Revolution was definitely not a soft-footed shrimp that could be easily overturned - even Chen Duxiu, a literati, knew very well that the Beiyang warlords they defeated during the Great Revolution and the Beiyang Six Towns during Yuan Shikai's period were completely two completely different creatures, okay?

Secondly, the industrial construction in these Republic of China texts is also very absurd, as if as long as a few arsenals are occupied, a steady stream of guns and ammunition can be produced immediately.

However, the author forgot to take into account that at this time, the coal and iron mines were still in the hands of the enemy, many key raw materials and accessories had to be imported from foreigners, machinery and equipment had to rely on foreign engineers to maintain, the level of Chinese engineers was too stinky to play, and in addition, the workers were also very likely to run away in the chaos of war - as long as any of the above bottlenecks were not solved, the arsenal in your hands would be a waste, okay?

If that's all it is, it's not the most outrageous -- after all, during the period of warlord secession, many small arsenals built by warlords have successfully overcome the above difficulties, and there are ready-made strategies that can be copied -- but after getting a piece of territory, the protagonists of those Republic of China novels generally can build a quite powerful military industry in a few months as long as they are willing to spend money hard, or renovate the original arsenal equipment, upgrade ordnance products, and increase production several times...... Oh my God! Is the military industry so easy to do?

At the very least, it needs supporting the energy and power industry, a large number of high-quality industrial workers, a large number of highly educated management personnel, and a set of quality management systems that have been fully tested in practice...... Given the social conditions in China at that time, if you want to train qualified workers and managers and do a good job in this production system, you can't even think about it without a few years of effort, and the money you have to spend is even more terrifying.

Even the small handicraft workshops in the Ruijin Central Soviet District that were engaged in gun repair and reloading were prepared for nearly a year before they were set up!

Even if you get this system right, key raw materials such as cannon steel were imported at that time, how can you mass-produce artillery?

Especially in some of the most exaggerated novels, before the protagonist has time to vigorously develop compulsory education, all kinds of outstanding talents have emerged. This is manifested in the military industry, which even has to carry out industrial mass production of aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles...... My God! An agrarian country without a decent industrial base is going to climb to the sky in one step and directly mass-produce aircraft, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles? Is this delusional or a dream?

Although the future Indians are not very competitive, the conditions are always much stronger than those of the warlords of the Republic of China! But they have used enough energy to spend decades building the "Arjun" tank, and when they arrived in Zuihou, they only came up with a daxiao dialect of "thin armor and paper, a mess of hemp for fire control, a nest for the engine, and five scum in fire warfare......

There is also historical Japan, until the Russo-Japanese War, it has been mixed into a foreign power, and the main battleships still cannot be built, so they can only be purchased.

Moreover. With the conditions of China's roads and bridges at that time, except for the Great Plain of North China and the black soil of Northeast China, the armored troops were afraid that they could not move at all -- even if the pressure per unit area of the tracked vehicles was small. You can drive in the mud, but what should you do when you cross the river on the bridge?

As for taking advantage of the concept of leading the times, engaging in civilian industry to make money from foreigners...... Well, it's not impossible, but if you are engaged in low-end products, you need large-scale production, and the problem of raw material supply is not easy to solve; If you are engaged in high-end luxury goods. Will those Caucasians who despise yellow skin admit it?

In short, setting up a factory in the Republic of China era can only be based on the domestic market. It is not easy to export industrial products on a large scale to earn foreign exchange.

The third point is the most bizarre, anyone who has read the history of modern revolution knows the importance of having a political party to build political power and unite people's hearts. But very unscientific. Most of the main characters just need to be a casual touch. A well-organized, united and progressive party organization was born, the party's absolute leadership was quickly established, and a large number of political commissars also fell from the sky......

Chen Duxiu, the true founder of a certain anti-heaven level combat organization, after a cursory glance at a few articles of the Republic of China, couldn't help but sigh and say that he was already very naïve when he was engaged in this party. So much so that the revolutionary cause suffered so many setbacks, and he was not only ousted from power. He also spent a few times in prison. I didn't expect that the future "literary and artistic workers" would be even more naïve than him -- what did they really think of the political party? Is it a privately owned family business?

For example, the Nazi Party was not founded by Hitler, but who will remember the founder before Hitler? And when Sun Yat-sen founded the Xingzhong Society in Hawaii, he was not the first president, but the third—the first two presidents were quickly forgotten.

As for him, Chen Duxiu, it's even more embarrassing, isn't it just a failure? Moreover, even after Chiang Kai-shek's purging of the party, the party's liliang was still many times stronger than before the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which can be said to be his merit - but Chen Duxiu was mercilessly ousted from power.

In short, the idea of expecting a political party to always be its own private property is strange enough in itself.

Fourth, most of the protagonists of the novel understand that the peasant and land problems in the Republic of China era have accumulated and are absolutely impossible to solve without working hard to solve them.

At the same time, however, they naively thought that as long as they casually introduced a land policy and brought in tens of thousands of troops to the town, they would be able to implement their policy in the territory of tens of millions of people -- the peasants were satisfied and no longer gathered to make trouble and grab rice to cause riots; Those landlords who have raised militia groups and thugs at home will honestly and obediently do what they are told, and will not disobey or even deny to death; The horse thieves and bandits are gone, the gangsters and parties are no longer active, and all political groups have become good children and do not come out to incite opposition......

Hehe, if the land reform could be carried out so smoothly, how did the Great Revolution fail? The guerrillas and the refuge regiments still need to fight back and forth and fight bloody? Even the "Second Five-Year Plan for Rent Reduction" campaign launched by the Kuomintang has not yet touched on the issue of land ownership, and it has been resisted to the point that it cannot be carried out at all. At that time, the central government sent commissioners to the local authorities to supervise them, but the county magistrate simply fabricated the charge of "gangsters" and directly shot the central commissioner.

As a matter of fact, there is no bloodless revolution in this world, let alone a land reform that does not kill people, and the ferocity of those local tyrants and inferior gentry is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people -- slaughtering villages, skinning, burying them alive, chopping them alive, and even cannibalism are all very common repressive methods used by landlords. If the revolutionaries want to defeat them in the shortest possible time, instead of repeatedly competing and negotiating compromises, the only way is to kill and crush the white terror with the red terror.

For example, Le Shaohua, who is currently presiding over the "Great Purge" in Hangzhou, sent a telegram saying that the practice of hanging the local tyrants and inferior gentry and their doglegs and hanging street lamps is indeed very deterrent, but it is a pity that there are too many "class enemies" in Hangzhou and too few street lights, and now every street lamp in Hangzhou has been hung with corpses, and if more dead people are hung up, the street lamp pole will not be able to bear the weight and collapse. As a result, he has had to hang the latest batch of executed prisoners from trees instead...... If you wait until the trees are full, you have to hang the corpses on the city wall......

And Fang Zhimin's reply to him was: This matter can be operated flexibly, but now that the weather is gradually getting warmer, if the corpse is decomposing, it is afraid of causing a plague, and it is advisable to cremate and deal with it as soon as possible - no one cares about whether to kill a thousand or 10,000 people.

As a vignette. Because the Christian Church in Hangzhou was instructed by the imperialist powers to participate in and plan a counter-revolutionary rebellion, it was brought to the rescue by the Red Army. Churches and monasteries were sealed and confiscated, and the captured missionaries, priests, nuns, and foreign spies were escorted back to Shanghai......

Zuihou seems to have been misled by the history of reform and opening up, and some people actually want to set up some special economic zones in modern China, where concessions are everywhere. It is also believed that such a thing with no number of industrial workers, no basic water and electricity supply, no tariff autonomy, no financial support, and only a potential market can be exchanged for the great favor of imperialism. Let the foreign capitalists stupidly rush over and send money and materials to help you vigorously develop the industrial base...... Are you treating the capitalists as living Lei Feng and Bethune? Wouldn't it be better for people to spend money to build their own concessions?

More novels have the protagonist find a way to make a fortune in the United States, and then feed back to the country, for example, by making hundreds of millions of dollars with nylon socks and penicillin or something like that - but if it is researched and produced in the United States. This is also very unscientific!

Alas. If the Chinese revolution in the Republic of China era was really so easy to carry out, and if you put forward an advanced slogan casually, everyone would be able to return to their hearts and follow the clouds, and Sun Yat-sen, a speech expert and fooling expert, would not have been displaced all his life and mixed up so miserably.

If it is so easy for Chinese to make a fortune abroad, why did those international students in the Republic of China era return to the war-torn motherland to start a business? In addition to patriotic feelings, it is not because there is simply no way to compete with the big business groups abroad, and white society is heavily discriminatory against people of color. So that before World War II, Chinese people in the United States could only open a few restaurants and laundry rooms, and it was almost impossible to make enterprises bigger and stronger?

In fact. If the protagonist just wants to use the advanced knowledge of future people to make a little money in the United States and Europe, then he can probably still do it, but if he really wants to set up a big company and compete with the big consortium, then all kinds of unspoken rules, bribery police, unreasonable regulations and even the private army of the big consortium will appear one by one, and he will not stop until he kills you - don't think that the United States before World War II was a peaceful paradise that pays attention to the law, and the DuPont company at that time was in order to solve the competition, directly bombed the other party's company into the sky with explosives, and no one cared about it afterwards!

So, even if you invent penicillin and nylon, if you don't have shili, you can only be snatched away by a consortium, and it would be nice to recoup the cost of research - there was really a time when someone broke the bank and spent $500,000 to research a new invention, and then a consortium forcibly bought the patent for $50,000......

In short, it is absolutely difficult to establish a successful industrial system in a turbulent era like the Republic of China, which is difficult at the level of purgatory...... Fortunately, future time-travelers will know what the historical solution to this dilemma is.

At this time, the Shanghai Soviet government also happened to have the basic conditions for the implementation of the above countermeasures......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Although the current revolutionary base in Shanghai already has the most advanced and sufficient industrial talent base in China, and a large area of control extending from Suzhou all the way to Zhejiang, the total population is likely to exceed 10 million, which is about the same as that of European countries such as the Czech Republic and Austria.

But the problem is that, in view of the backward status quo of Chinese society, it is very unrealistic for us to want to build up the industry of European countries in one step, and we cannot come up with a reasonable overall plan for the time being -- although the source of the machines is absolutely not worried, and we can provide any equipment, but at the moment the war is still going on, the all-out attack of the imperialists is imminent, and the areas that have been liberated at present may fall back to the ground -- so at present, we can only base ourselves on Shanghai and build up the industry of this core city. When we have spare energy, we will radiate to other cities......"

Going back to the time shortly after the liberation of Shanghai, in the hall of the Shanghai Soviet Government, Professor Yang used the blackboard and slide projector that had just been hung up to talk to the party, government, and military cadres below, "...... In the case of Shanghai, we only plan to use the human resources here, rather than building on the old city - land acquisition, resettlement, and demolition are too troublesome, and we don't look down on the existing hydropower infrastructure in Puxi...... Therefore, we have decided to get rid of the old and build a new one on the east bank of the Huangpu River, and build a more comprehensive Pudong Industrial City, so as to serve the next long war, and to a certain extent reduce the dependence of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on the gate of time and space - after all, we will leave this shijie one day, and you need to learn to rely on your own liliang to carry the revolution to the end......"

“…… That one...... May I ask, what kind of industrial strength does this planned Pudong Industrial City have? Someone raised his hand and asked.

“…… Well, we've also considered this as a whole, and we've drawn on the proven experience of history. ”

Professor Yang replied calmly, "...... First of all, the concept of industry is very broad, and an industrial city can accommodate a limited number of industrial sectors after all, if you want to be greedy for perfection, and at the same time to build shipbuilding, automobiles, aviation, petrochemical industries are all involved, then not to mention a city, is a province of manpower and material resources are not enough...... The construction plan we designed is to help an underdeveloped region to establish an industrial system that can meet the most basic production needs, and then make appropriate adjustments according to the actual situation...... To put it simply, it is the so-called 'five small industries' ......" (to be continued......
