"Wen Yao, is there anything you can teach me about this?" Tang Shaoyi looked up and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info: xstxt..

For this friend, Tang Shaoyi has a deep understanding, and if he really wants to talk about knowledge and intelligence, he may not be as good as Zhong Wenyao, who was once admitted to Yale University.

After listening, Zhong Wenyao pondered slightly, "I don't think the focus of Jiaozhou's development at the beginning can be on industry!"

"I want to hear about it!"

Because of the relationship between the two, Zhong Wenyao has nothing to say, "First of all, industrial development needs workers, but workers need to be trained, although there are still a lot of white technicians left in Jiaozhou Province, and they alone are already good at supporting the current industry in Jiaozhou, and they can't talk about development with this! As for the quality of immigrants, I don't say that you know." ”

Of course, Tang Shaoyi knew that although the Huojia Military Administration Yuan also encouraged the Huojia military people in Nanyang to settle in the American territory, how many of the Chinese who relocated to Antu went to the Americas thousands of miles away.

Therefore, the next immigrant population in the provinces and cities of the Americas must have been immigrants from within the Qing Dynasty.

These poor peasants, who can't read a single word, can still farm the land, but if they become workers, they can't be counted on in a short time.

In fact, after learning about some of the current situation in Jiaozhou Province, Tang Shaoyi has little confidence in supporting the current industrial facilities in Jiaozhou Province. The whites who remained in Jiaozhou were basically teachers and senior technicians, as well as some intermediate technicians, but the largest number of low-level workers with certain skills was lacking.

Without the support of these low-level workers. The factory could not operate at all, but fortunately, the rumors of the disarmament of the American Military Region had already spread, and it was estimated that hundreds of thousands of Huo Jiajun would take off their military uniforms. According to this military order, most of them will be placed in the territory of the Americas, and now Tang Shaoyi will pay attention to these people, although these people have not been workers before, but they generally have a secondary school education, and they only need a simple training to become a qualified worker.

Of course. These workers, the fourteen governors of the American Territory are staring at again, and it is not easy to get these retired soldiers.

"It seems to have started. I really have to give up industrial development for the time being!" Tang Shaoyi regretted.

You must know that when they first came to the United States and saw the prosperous American society, their greatest wish for young children in the United States was to become an industrial power. Of course, it was the Qing Dynasty before, and now it is the Chinese People's Army. And after October, it's a whole new country.

"Huh. In fact, with the foundation of Jiaozhou Province, you only need to endure for three years!"

According to the plan of the Ministry of Education, there will be a university and four vocational colleges in 14 provinces and one city in the Americas, and with these schools, after three years, Jiaozhou Province will obtain a large number of senior talents needed for development, and then solve the talent bottleneck of industrial development. The development of Jiaozhou Province will enter the fast lane.

However, Tang Shaoyi knew that things were not so simple.

"Wen Yao, I'm afraid three years is still not enough!"

"Not enough? That's right!" Then, Zhong Wenyao's face couldn't help but show a sudden look.

Now the population west of the Mississippi River, excluding the blacks who must be removed, there are still 1.5 million whites left, and the population of the Huo family army migrated over the past three years is about more than 5 million, plus the Indian and previous Chinese population, the entire Mississippi River is about 7 million people!

Although Jiaozhou Province now has a population of 800,000, which is already a lot among many provinces and cities in the Americas, compared to the huge area of Jiaozhou Province, this population is not enough to let alone develop!

Even if after the end of the war, the Huo Jiajun is gradually increasing its efforts to transport immigrants like the Americas, but now it is 1.5 million in a year, although it looks like a lot, but if the 14 provinces are divided, Jiaozhou Province can get 200,000 people if they die, and 600,000 in three years, and then counting the natural increase in population, the population of Jiaozhou Province in three years will only be 1.5 million!

With this population, it is too difficult to support the development of an 880,000-square-kilometer Jiaozhou province!

"It seems that this population is really a hard injury! But this is also something that cannot be rushed, and it can only develop slowly little by little!"

After listening to Zhong Wenyao's words, Tang Shaoyi nodded.

"Well, everyone knows the difficulties of the provinces and cities in the Americas, and I believe that the Government Council will not be too demanding. I think that in the next five years, if you can restore Jiaozhou Province to before the US economic crisis, you will have completed the task assigned to you by the Government Council! As for greater development, when the population of Jiaozhou Province grows, it will naturally develop!"

Nodding, Tang Shaoyi grabbed the side of the boat, looked at the endless blue sea in the distance, and secretly thought in his heart: "What I want is not just to fulfill the requirements of the Government Council!"

"Bastards, damn bugs! Damn Vietnamese guerrillas!"

The furious Gu Ba stood up, tore and shredded the information in his hand, and then kicked the stool next to him in anger. It hit a vase placed next to it, and then fell to the ground and shattered.

Seeing his appearance, the intelligence staff officer next to him was silent! This is not the first time he has seen such a scene in the past month. Although he was no longer surprised, he didn't want to be scolded!

Looking at the large topographic map of Vietnam hanging on the wall, Lone Pull is another headache, although up to now, the war with the Qing State is quite smooth, and has taken Taiyuan, Bac Ninh and other important towns in northern Vietnam, and defeated the 30,000 Qing troops stationed there by the Qing State, but with a large number of Qing troops from Liangguang into the battlefield in northern Vietnam. France was still very far from winning this war.

Moreover, these are not the only things that annoy Loneba, just over a month ago, a large number of guerrillas suddenly appeared in central and southern Vietnam, which had been controlled by them, although they were not many in number and their firepower was not strong, but they relied on their familiarity with the terrain to harass the French troops stationed in various places, and even attacked military logistics warehouses in various places.

Although Guba also ordered the troops to organize several encirclement and suppression, each time they got the news in advance and fled into the vast rainforest. Moreover, the French ** team that chased into it fell into the trap of these Vietnamese guerrillas and suffered heavy losses.

However, despite this, these Vietnamese guerrillas were not a big problem because they were few in number, but they were like maggots on the tarsal bones, firmly clinging to them, threatening the French rule over Vietnam at all times, which was really annoying.

"Commander, Mr. Emma is here, he wants to see you!" Just then, the guards outside the door ran in.

Hearing this, Gu Ba sighed heavily in his heart, this trouble was more of a headache for him than the Vietnamese guerrillas, but he couldn't refuse yet.

"Invite him in!" But after noticing the shredded paper and broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, Lone Bar frowned and called out to the guards who were about to go out, "Forget it, take him to the living room, I'll go over right away!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Although he really didn't want to see this person again, in the face of the huge French Bourbon family, even if he didn't like it anymore, he didn't dare to shirk it.

"It's a pity that the whereabouts of the noble daughter of the Bourbon family have not been found so far, otherwise if all the warships of the Far Eastern Fleet were transferred out to attack the coast of the Qing Kingdom, maybe we would have won this war a long time ago. ”

With this thought, after sorting out his military appearance, Gu Ba walked out of the study, and then walked down the corridor to the living room in front.

But before he could enter the door, the old man Emma, who was already getting older, had already rushed out after hearing the voice, "Commander Lone, have you found the whereabouts of the young lady?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Emma, I didn't find Miss Helen?" though he was upset, he didn't dare to vent in front of the old man.

"I haven't found it, why haven't I found it yet? It's been more than four months, and it's been more than four months since the young lady disappeared, is it really ......!" Thinking of the result that he didn't want to believe the most, Emma's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears.

Helen was raised by him since he was a child, and in his heart he was like his own granddaughter, and at this moment, the thought of Helen's possible death made Emma's heart full of endless sadness.

Seeing him as such, Gu Ba couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now that the warships of the Chinese People's Army that were originally all over the South Seas have also been withdrawn, it is obvious that they have also given up.

Moreover, in three months, all the warships of the French Far East Fleet, as well as some hired fishing boats, had turned over the entire South Seas, but the whereabouts of the Bourbon nobles had not been found.

In Gu Ba's heart, the eldest lady of the Bourbon family, who was from an extraordinary background, may have been buried at the bottom of the sea long ago. It's just that he had been estimating the huge influence of the Bourbon family in France before, and he didn't say it.

"Mr. Emma, can we bring the fleet back now?" After a moment's hesitation, Lone finally said what was in his mind.

No way, as the commander of the French Far East Dispatch Army, his main task is to win the Qing Dynasty and control the Vietnamese colonies for France.

Now, after not being able to quickly defeat the Qing army on land, Guba thought of using the dominant fleet to attack the coastal areas of the Qing court, forcing the Qing emperor to submit and recognize Vietnam as a French colony, and also to let the Qing government open more treaty ports, open more markets, and give up more benefits, because now the serious economic crisis in France really needs this big market from the Far East.

"No way!"

As soon as Guba's words were finished, he was rejected by the old man Emma. (To be continued.) )
