234.Chapter 234

From March 5 to March 15, 2756 (1915), the State Council announced in the government work report that the "First Five-Year Plan" was completed, and all projects reached the predetermined goals, and some projects were completed beyond the target.

The most important industrial indicators exceeded the predetermined plan across the board. For example, in 1914, the output of raw steel reached 15.34 million tons, ranking third in the world, second only to the United States (24 million tons) and Germany (14.5 million tons). This was more than half of the original plan of 10 million tons, which was in fact completed in 1913.

Sulphuric acid production reached 1.82 million tonnes, also the third in the world, behind the United States (2.9 million tonnes) and Germany (1.87 million tonnes). Raw coal production reached 2. 5.5 billion tons, more than Germany (2. 500 million tons), becoming the third place in the world, second only to the United States 4. 700 million tons and 2 of the UK. 700 million tons. Refined copper production was 740,000 tons, second only to the United States (820,000 tons).

The output of automobiles is 1.67 million units, which is the first in the world, and the production of the United States, which ranks second, is only 650,000, which is less than a fraction. With a power generation capacity of 123 billion kilowatts, it is also the world champion, far ahead of the runner-up United States with 52 billion kilowatts. The number of cotton spindles was 37.67 million spindles (output of about 2.26 million tons), surpassing the 32.2 million spindles of the United States and ranking second in the world, second only to the United Kingdom's 56.5 million spindles. The tonnage of merchant ships reached 4.43 million tons, the United States 7.1 million tons, Germany 3.4 million tons, and the United Kingdom 2 million tons.

The agricultural results are also very impressive, with food production reaching 4. 9.8 billion tons, an unprecedented achievement of one ton of grain per capita. The output of pigs, cattle, mutton and poultry was 13.66 million tons, and the output of fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish reached 4.55 million tons. The mileage of the railway has reached 76,200 kilometers, which is equivalent to the level of the original time and space map in the 90s.

The above numbers are all made into a coordinate chart, and when compared with the number of previous years, it is very exciting. Well, for most ordinary people, what counts are imaginary, and the benefits they enjoy are real. In the past few years, the standard of living has improved significantly every year, take food as an example. At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the city was still supplied with food stamps, but last year, the food stamps were abolished and completely liberalized, and as long as there was money to eat, no one cared how much they wanted.

The supply of meat and dairy products has also risen sharply, and before the founding of the People's Republic of China, families who could eat meat once a month were already good, but now, most families can eat meat once or twice a week, and in various state-owned enterprises and institutions, it is even more so that meat is available every day. All schools, from kindergarten to university, have fully popularized the nutritious meal plan, ensuring that each student has 25 grams (for young children) to 50 grams of meat (for teenagers), half a catty of milk, and one egg per day.

Although China now has enough grain to eat, in order to ensure the nutritional supply of its people, it still has to import tens of millions of tons of meat and dairy products from the United States, Argentina and other places every year.

After announcing the achievements of the First Five-Year Plan period, the State Council announced the "Second Five-Year Plan," the target for the period 1915 to 1920. Among them, the steel output exceeded 30 million tons, the railway mileage reached 100,000 kilometers, and the meat food should reach 30 million tons.

In addition, the National People's Congress (NPC) has approved the military expansion proposal put forward by the General Staff Headquarters, and in order to cope with the current world situation, China has also followed the trend of military expansion. The number of divisions in the army remains unchanged at 20 (560,000), but will gradually be adjusted from infantry divisions to mechanized or armored divisions. The number of Division B divisions will be adjusted to 50 (720,000 men), the number of mixed brigades will be adjusted to 40 (400,000 men), and the number of other units will be expanded to 2 million men. The total tonnage of the navy's ships will reach 800,000 tons, and the number of officers and men will be expanded to 450,000. The number of fighters in the Air Force has expanded to more than 4,000 and the number of fighters has expanded to 300,000. The armed police will also be expanded to 300,000.

Finally, there is the election of a new president, and there is no doubt about Wendehei. With more than 99 percent of the votes, he was re-elected as president of the central government, commander-in-chief of the national armed forces, chairman of the Central Military Commission, and chairman of the Central Committee of the CSS. According to China's current constitution, the president can be re-elected for a second term, and there is no limit on the number of terms. According to Mr. Wen's prestige and support rate in China, as long as he is willing, he can be the president for a lifetime, and it is impossible for anyone to compete with him. Not to mention being a president for life, even if he wants to change the imperial system and call himself emperor. According to the fantasy point, even the gods can be sealed.

Of course, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. China is so big, there are 500 million people now, so many people, there must be murmurs. There are some "public knowledge" of all kinds who say sourly, "Wen Deji is a great dictator". Wen Desi didn't care about this, he admitted very frankly: That's right, I am the dictator! If you have the ability, you can defeat me like a brave man who defeated the Great Demon King. Before that, let's experience the life of working people...... These "brave men" are then thrown into mines, construction sites or farms to "experience" the lives of working people.

You say "freedom of speech"? That's right, Mr. Wen is very supportive of this, so they have the opportunity to make these statements. However, many people forget or deliberately forget the last sentence of "freedom of speech", that is, "everyone is responsible for their own speech", not that you can talk casually, and bragging is also taxable.

After these people enjoy "freedom of speech", they should be responsible for their speech. They have freedom of speech, and Mr. Wen also has the freedom to enforce the law. Mr. Wen is not a "good person" who spits on himself, let alone a virgin, on the contrary, he is very cold-blooded. He has always been very strict with public opinion, and he will not let public opinion go unnoticed like a certain party, and if he dares to hack me for no reason, he must have the consciousness of sitting in prison.

..............................................................................

After the current session of the National People's Congress ended, Wen Desi convened the high-level confidants to hold a closed-door meeting. According to the hostile elements and the public intellectuals, this meeting was a sinister meeting, a vicious meeting, in which the "great dictator" Wen Deji once again came up with a lot of poisonous plans to subvert innocent neighbors and enslave the people of the world.

"Mr. Wen, the high-level of North Korea has been cleaned up, and the middle and lower levels have also been fully controlled. In accordance with the strategy of centralizing villages and villages, we have separated two-thirds of the Korean civilians into small families and distributed them to all parts of the country, and have moved a large number of people from the interior to the Korean Peninsula...... The same is true for new territories such as the Ryukyus, North Vietnam, and Kashmir. Now it seems that our policy of forcing peers to go forward has a very good effect!" Yuan Shikai reported with a red face.

Since the restoration of Korea, Wen Deji has sent Yuan Datou to be in charge of Korean affairs, as well as the maintenance of stability, rectification, and immigration of the new territory. To tell the truth, the person chosen by Wende is very suitable, and the big man is very experienced in this regard, and his methods are ruthless and cunning, and he has the strong support of the central government, and it did not take long to settle the problem of stability in the new territory.

For example, in the new land, such a joke is spreading: Liu Bang has been a Chu person for decades, a Qin citizen for more than ten years, and finally became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. Rather than being a citizen of a small country, it is better to be incorporated into a large country. Small countries still exist, and the highest is the king of small countries. Incorporated into a great country, how do you know that the descendants do not have the destiny of the leader of a great country?...... This kind of joke is used to anesthetize the middle and upper classes of small countries, and the bottom is not used at all, and the people at the bottom of any country only care about actual life.

In addition, in the current Eastern world, China still retains great influence, and the surrounding countries still have a considerable amount of awe and admiration for China. This is completely different from the situation in the later generations of the original time and space, after China's image as a great power completely collapsed. In addition, the strong revival of China, which was the same as that of the surrounding countries, restored the feeling of vassals facing the Celestial Empire, and the nationalist trends in Asia had not yet risen in large numbers at this time, so the difficulty of assimilation was much lower than that of the later generations of the original time and space.

Of course, there are still thorns who refuse to settle down and refuse to assimilate, and the big heads will never be soft on such people, so how can the nickname "Mintu" be given in vain? However, even if they are lucky, the big heads have killed very few people now, and if they were replaced by the big heads of the past, none of these guys would have survived. It's definitely not like it is now, just eating free rice, acting as free labor, well, for life.

"Well, Vice Premier Yuan has done a very good job in maintaining stability in the new territory. Wen Deji first expressed his approval of the work of the big head. "Now it seems that the new territory has been basically stabilized, and we can rest assured in this regard. ”

Then he turned back to Cavour and asked, "Let's talk about diplomacy next, does Minister Cavour have anything to say?"

"Now there are large-scale anti-British uprisings in India and South Africa, and many of the local officers and soldiers have defected and joined the rebel army, and with the addition of these professional soldiers, the rebel army is even stronger," Cavour said. It has to be said that this timing is very good, and now the European war is in the heat of the war, and the British have already taken care of themselves in the European theater, and have little energy to deal with the uprisings in the two places, and their rule in the two places is already in jeopardy. ”

"So, what will they do?" someone asked.

Cavour thought for a moment and said, "According to our intelligence, it is likely that they will make some compromises, such as granting autonomy to the two places and maintaining nominal sovereignty. However, it is not known how much autonomy this autonomy will have. There is also a great possibility that one faction will be drawn against another, promising to give some of the princely states higher autonomy, and then let them fight those princely states with high anti-British sentiment. This is the traditional technique of the Britze......"

"It's highly likely, South Africa, will they cooperate with Germany?"

"Most likely, now the Germans are already in contact with the South African rebels. It's only been ten years since the Boer War, and their hatred with the British is not so easy to dissolve......"

For Niu Niu's unfortunate incident, everyone was a little gloating, and everyone vomited for a while while in the mood of watching the fire from the other side.

Cafu then threw out another "bombshell", and he said calmly: "That's right, Mr. Wen." The People's Republic of Afghanistan has formally requested us to send a group of government and military advisers to assist them in building up their Government and army...... In addition, Afghan President Mark has proposed that he hopes to form an alliance with our country to form a socialist alliance......"

The amount of information in these words was very large, and it took everyone a while to digest it. In fact, Mr. Wen already knew about this news, because Mark was sent out by him. It's just for the sake of secrecy that I deliberately went through the motions here. The people who were sent out to make trouble were in one-line contact with the country, and except for Mr. Wen and a very small number of relevant personnel who knew about it, there were many people in the cabinet and the Military Commission who were kept in the dark.

"It's a good thing, Afghanistan is our important neighbor and our important gateway to Central Asia and the Middle East, and it's important to have a closer relationship with them. All of them can agree to their demands, and the State Council and the Central Military Commission will be responsible for the specific matters of cooperation. Wen Desi immediately set the tone.

At this time, Cavour said lightly: "This morning, the Kingdom of Siam has informed us that their king Zheng Bao, also known as Rama VI, died of a violent illness yesterday......"

"Oh, what a pity. Send an envoy to condolence according to the rules, who will succeed you?" Wen Deji was also very calm.

Cavour replied: "Zheng Bao has no heirs, and according to the order, his younger brother Zheng Guang will succeed him......"

....................................................................................

Let's turn the clock back to yesterday's Siam Palace.

The geographical location of Siam (Thailand) is very important, and Boon Duc Si has always been very thoughtful about it, and he sent people to infiltrate it before the unification of China. Later, with the assistance of Lin Shenhe's family, the infiltration went more smoothly, and since the capture of Laos and the border with them, the progress has been faster.

By now, the Chinese forces in Siam, as well as at least half of the army and key officers, have been infiltrated and controlled by various means. But this guy Rama VI has always refused to cooperate honestly, and he actually dared to implement the policy of Chinese assimilation and engage in "de-sinicization", which is intolerable to Mr. Wen. What's more, he also moved closer to Britain in an attempt to use Britain's power to counter Chinese infiltration.

Siam must be under Chinese control, and since Rama VI refused to cooperate, he had to be asked to die. If Britain and France hadn't been too close, Rama VI would have died two years ago, after all, Siam is the dividing line of their power, and they can tolerate China making small moves in it, but things that are too obvious are still unbearable.

But now it is different, Europe has already played out the brains of dogs, and there are uprisings in India and South Africa. In such a situation, it is too late for them to win over China, so how dare they stand out for the sake of Siam? Siam is not theirs anyway. So Rama VI was sold by what he thought was his backer, there was no way, this world is so realistic.

Early that morning, Siam Police Inspector Lin Youde and Army Deputy Commander Lin Aotian and his son suddenly attacked, they took control of the capital, and then took a group of elites to the royal palace to meet Rama VI.

"What are you going to do?" roared Rama VI.

"Your Majesty, Weichen got some famous cooking cakes from China yesterday, and I came to offer them to your Majesty Xià to enjoy...... Oh, the Prime Minister is also here, so it's just right, let's eat together......" Lin Youde said with a smile, and looked at the Prime Minister who was shrunk to the side and shivering.

Lin Youde clapped his hands after speaking, and a soldier came up with a plate. It contained several sheets of cooking cakes.

Lin Aotian said gloomily beside him: "This is the best scorching sun brand cooking cake in the world, it is very delicious, please try it......"

"I don't want to eat any bread, take it back......" Rama VI was not a fool, how could he not know what it was, so he forced himself to say calmly.

"This is a piece of kindness from Weichen. You have to eat today, and if you don't eat, you have to eat......" Lin Youde's face changed, and he said to his subordinates: "Come on, feed your majesty and eat cakes!" Oh, don't forget to ...... Prime Minister."

Immediately, a few stout soldiers with thick shoulders and round waists rushed over, held Rama VI with all hands and feet, and stuffed the cooking cake into it like a duck.

"Dad, don't forget that there are also the Commander of the Army, the Commander of the Guards, the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Agriculture...... They are also eligible to eat cakes......" Lin Aotian smiled and took out a list.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, I support you, I support you!" The prime minister was frightened and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Prime Minister, it's too late to say this, aren't you and His Majesty discussing how to deal with us today? You might as well go with Your Majesty, your Majesty is already waiting for you below......" Lin Youde pointed to the side, only to see that Rama VI's eyes were already wide open and he had stopped breathing.

"This cake is very good, it is not ugly at all after eating, and it is guaranteed that it will not bleed...... Lin Youde showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, waved his hand and said: "Come on, feed the Prime Minister to eat the cake!"

Immediately, a few stout soldiers walked over with a sly smile, holding down the prime minister and concocting the same way.

Two hours later, all of Rama VI's cronies, diehards, and blacklisted people in the city of Bangkok fell ill and died.

"Hey, it's all the fault of the cooking cake! Who called it so delicious?" said Lin Youde compassionately.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Siamese government announced that King Rama VI had died of a violent illness, and the prime minister and many other ministers were also martyred in grief. At present, the Royal Government is headed by the Deputy Prime Minister Lim Yau Tak, who was appointed by the King by will, and succeeded by the will's brother Zheng Guang.

After Zheng Guang succeeded to the throne, he appointed Lin Youde as the prime minister of the kingdom, Lin Aotian as the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's army, and all the important ministers were appointed according to the list recommended by Lin Youde. After the establishment of the new government, of course, there were still some who were not convinced, for example, several military leaders raised troops, and Prime Minister Lin Youde immediately announced that they were rebels, and immediately invited China to send troops to help suppress the rebellion.

The three divisions that had been waiting at the border for a long time reacted at the first time, and at the same time, the air force was also dispatched at the same time. The Siamese army was simply not enough, and it was about to collapse in front of the Chinese elite. The rebellion was put down in less than three days.

As soon as the situation stabilized, the new Siamese government began to cooperate with China in an all-round way.
