Fengxian Jiangshan

Hearing Zhang Tinglan uttered this idea, Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but teasingly said: "Zhuoyan has also read thick black and can't learn it. Why do I feel a bit like tinkering!"

When Zhang Tinglan thought about it, this made sense. The incident in Nanyang was caused by himself, and the door was opened to bring back Chinese businessmen. This is similar to tinkers who deliberately widen the cracks.

"In any case, as long as everyone is happy, that's a good way." Zhang Tinglan said: "Let the overseas Chinese return to China to invest. There is also a problem, that is, most of them are from Fujian, Guangdong. Even if they invest, they will mostly invest in their hometown. .”

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "It depends on the guidance. Another point is to keep up with the infrastructure. The Guangdong-Han Railway must be completed quickly. In addition, the coastal railway from Hangzhou to Fuzhou and then to Guangzhou is also It needs to be repaired, so that the provinces in the southeast will be connected together!"

When talking about the railway issue, Tang Shaoyi hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go back to the conference room, just in time to deploy the first five-year plan."

Everyone gathered together again.Wang Yongjiang compiled the development plans for the three eastern provinces. Although they had to be adjusted for five years because of the national unification, he had accumulated rich experience.Follow the new plan.Started in 1924 and ended in 1928.As China's first five-year plan period.

During this period, China will double and double its major industrial products, including steel production to reach 500 million tons. In 23 years, the steel production in the three northeastern provinces reached 65 tons, nearly 10 tons more than expected.

In addition to the output of other domestic regions, the total is only about 80 tons. To reach 500 million tons, it will have to increase by more than four times. This is quite an astonishing amount, but Zhang Tinglan is still very confident about this goal.

Since entering the customs, Zhang Tinglan has started to build steel factories in Beijing, Tangshan and other places. In addition, the expansion of Hanyang Iron Factory is also in progress. After the completion of land reform in Henan, there is also a large amount of funds, so the steel factory is also being built.

Basically, these steel plants will be completed one after another within three years, and China's steel output will reach about 200 million tons by then.

And because of the development of Maoshan Iron Mine, China and Italy signed an agreement to cooperate with Italy to build a crude steel production base in China, and then transport the steel ingots to Europe for sale.

At the same time, Germany also joined in. China will introduce German technology to comprehensively upgrade the steel enterprises in the three eastern provinces. If it is successfully completed, the output of Anshan Iron and Steel will exceed 100 million tons. The three provinces can also exceed the output of 5 million tons within 300 years.

After the expansion, the output of Hanyang Iron Works will exceed 50 tons. In fact, for the iron and steel industry, it is not so much growth in 5 years, but 7 years. Investment has been increasing since 22, but these 5 years have arrived Harvest period.

According to records, the Soviet Union produced 1930 million tons of steel in 576.4, while Japan produced 228.9 million tons in the same period.These two countries are currently the main threats to China. If China's steel output reaches 28 million tons in 500 years, it will be basically on par with the Soviet Union and more than twice that of Japan.

Now war is a contest of steel. Basically, those with more steel are better than those with less steel. With these steels, China will have sufficient confidence to face the Soviet Union. It can also be said that Japan has completely lost its hope of defeating China. possible.

And based on the current situation, China should be able to complete the three five-year plans before World War II. By then, the steel output will at least exceed 2000 million tons. In other words, China will become a big country comparable to the Soviet Union. There is still a big gap from the United States.

But China also has enough strength, at least it has the strength to enjoy the fruits of victory, and if it develops faster, it can even change the direction of the world.

The world cannot always be dominated by the Anglo-Saxons. The ancient empire that has ruled the world for thousands of years must return to the pinnacle of the world after a nap.

In addition to iron and steel, coal should exceed 300 million tons, and power generation should exceed 7 billion kWh.In terms of oil, the Yanchang Mine and Yumen Mine should be thoroughly developed to ensure that the oil self-sufficiency rate reaches [-]%.In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the search for oil to achieve self-sufficiency.

In addition to these major industrial products, Zhang Tinglan also requested that the annual output of chemical fertilizers be increased by 30 tons to ensure increased and stable agricultural production.

In terms of transportation, the Guangdong-Han Railway and the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge will be built, which means that the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway will be completely connected, and there will be one more important traffic artery between the north and the south.At the same time, the Sichuan-Han Railway and the Ning-Han Railway will be built, and a parallel railway will be built along the Yangtze River.In addition to the railway along the southeast coast and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, the railway network running from north to south in China is beginning to take shape.China's railway mileage exceeds 3 kilometers, and major provincial capital cities are basically the same as trains.

In terms of agriculture, taking the opportunity of land reform in the Central Plains, it is necessary to overhaul farmland water conservancy facilities, build reservoirs, irrigate ditches, and drill more deep wells. These tasks will try to mobilize landed farmers to volunteer.After all, the government has limited funds and cannot invest too much money, so it can only use the unpaid labor of farmers.

In terms of education, three-year compulsory education should be basically established, and the future generations will be nine-year compulsory education. The current finances really cannot afford it, so it can only be limited to three years, that is, to ensure that students complete elementary school.

All kinds of things were involved, and the meeting lasted for three consecutive days before the various tasks were clarified.However, apart from these obvious things, Zhang Tinglan also has two secret goals. The first is to completely solve the Southwest and Guangdong and Guangxi, and unify the whole country.The second is to create the first aircraft carrier battle group, so that China has a maritime intervention force.

A unified China, with a certain amount of sea power, can let go of operating in Nanyang, and even support Xu Shuzheng and the others to directly play the banner of rebellion, instead of hiding as they do now.

The current era is quite promising. After all, there are no restrictions on nuclear weapons. China has a population of more than 4 million, and its military resources will hardly be exhausted. Even compared with polar bears, it has four times the advantage.

As long as it is a bordering area, there is absolutely no way to stop the torrent of China. After five years of practicing internal skills, Zhang Tinglan has secretly made up his mind when it is time to restore China's sphere of influence.

The first five-year plan was finally compiled and passed in Parliament.In five years, the central financial plan has invested a total of 15 billion yuan, plus local funds and private capital, a total of more than 50 billion yuan will be invested.

Not counting the voluntary labor of farmers, the total amount of investment is absolutely unprecedented.However, it is not an easy task to realize such a large investment. The central government spends an average of 3 million yuan a year.

In the Beiyang era, the government's annual fiscal revenue was only 8000 million. At present, China has withdrawn various powers, carried out land reforms, increased tax sources, and coupled with the development of industry and commerce, contributed a large amount of tax revenue every year, but the total fiscal revenue is no more than It is about 6 million yuan. After 5 years, it is very difficult to reach 10 billion yuan. It is absolutely impossible to spend 3 million yuan for investment.

"Humble words, for now, the only way is to borrow money and issue bonds domestically, preferably in Europe and the United States, to borrow money for construction!"

Wang Yongjiang, Tang Shaoyi, and Wang Shuhan, who just became the governor of the central bank, jointly put forward this proposal.

Chapter 754 The Aircraft Carrier Era

The Jiangnan Shipyard was formerly known as the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, where China's first lathe was born, and China's first steam-propelled warship "Huiji" and the first iron-clad warship "Jinou" were built by itself. China's first rifle, first steel cannon, first pound of smokeless gunpowder, and the first furnace of steel in China...

In the history of the late Qing Dynasty, the Jiangnan Shipyard was the largest factory with the most advanced technology and the most complete equipment in the country. In 1905, the division of the bureau and dock was implemented, and the Jiangnan Shipyard officially operated independently.In the six years from 1905 to 1911 alone, 6 ships were built, with a total displacement of 136 tons.During the First World War, the Jiangnan Factory also undertook the order of the 21000-ton transport ship from the United States, and built four giant ships including the "Guanfu", which can be called a milestone in the history of Chinese shipbuilding.

But compared to the previous brilliant achievements, May 1925, 5 was an unusual day. All the workers in the shipyard were waiting anxiously. At around ten o'clock, with the cheers of countless workers, the standard displacement reached 3. The 6700-ton Zhenjiang was launched slowly and became the first modern giant ship built by Jiangnan Plant.

The Zhenjiang light cruiser is the first-class light cruiser designed by China itself, and it is also one of the bodyguards tailored for the aircraft carrier.There are a total of four ships of the same class, two built in Jiangnan Factory and two built in Lushun, namely Zhenjiang, Taizhou, Liaoyang and Fengcheng.

Two months ago, the Liaoyang was officially launched. This class of warship is 165 meters long, with a standard displacement of 6700 tons. The main guns are 8 double-mounted 127mm main guns, equipped with 12 40mm anti-aircraft guns.The maximum speed is 32 knots and the cruising range is 8000 nautical miles.

All kinds of performance data are basically the same as those of Americans before World War II.The Atlanta-class light cruisers built were about the same.This standard was also proposed by Zhang Tinglan himself. His knowledge of weapons is not rich, but at any rate, there is a craze for aircraft carriers in later generations. He has also learned about the history of some aircraft carriers, and he is still very clear about the outstanding Atlanta-class cruisers.

The construction of the Atlanta class started in 1940. A total of four ships of the same class participated in all important Pacific naval battles and became an important air defense force for the aircraft carrier formation.

When Zhang Tinglan was designing her own aircraft carrier battle group.Naturally, this best option will not be missed.Since the capture of the Yarmouth, Chinese engineers have conducted detailed research.At the same time, after ordering warships from Italy, China also sent specialized technical personnel to participate in the construction process and accumulated rich experience.In addition, China has obtained some key technologies of warships from Germany.

With these reserves, in 1924, the shipyards in the north and south of China began to build large-scale warships almost at the same time.There are currently four shipyards in China.Both Huludao and Lvshun shipyards with the strongest technology and the most talented people are located in Fengtian.There are also Qingdao Shipyard and Jiangnan Factory.

In contrast, the Jiangnan factory has many advantages compared to the Qingdao factory, so it has received special attention. The management system of the shipyard has been innovated, and supporting equipment has been added at the same time.Let the Jiangnan factory be more perfect.

With the successful launching of the Zhenjiang, the history of the Jiangnan Factory has also turned a new page. In order to congratulate the launching of the Zhenjiang, Shen Honglie, the commander-in-chief of the navy, rushed to the scene in person to participate in the launching ceremony.

Also present were celebrities from all walks of life.The most important of these is Sa Zhenbing, the veteran of the navy.As a veteran of the navy from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Sa Zhenbing witnessed the rise and fall of the Beiyang Navy.For a time he was a little desperate.However, with the rise of Fengjun, the combined fleet was defeated, which rekindled the old man's confidence and hope.

At this time, when seeing the launch of the Zhenjiang, Sa Zhenbing burst into tears, and Shen Honglie also personally invited Sa Zhenbing to board the deck of the Zhenjiang.

After Sa Zhenbing boarded the boat, he looked left and right.The big rough hands kept stroking the cold main gun, which made him nod repeatedly: "That's great, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were only this big back then!"

"Sa Lao, the standard displacement of the Zhenjiang is 6700 tons, which is slightly smaller than that of the Dingyuan, but the full-load displacement is about 8300 tons, which is also larger than the full-load displacement of the Dingyuan."

When Sa Zhenbing heard this, his brows frowned, as if he had some doubts, Shen Honglie said with a smile: "The way of thinking about building warships has changed a lot now, and a warship will be used for 20 years, so enough space must be set aside. There is more room for transformation, and more weapons will be added in the future.”

When Sa Zhenbing heard it, he also nodded frequently: "The navy is progressing too fast. We have been eliminated by the times long ago. We can see that the navy is booming again. The old man can talk to those old brothers after he is under the nine springs. gone."

While talking, Sa Shijun who came up with Sa Zhenbing suddenly asked: "Uncle, since Zhenjiang and Dingyuan are similar, why is Dingyuan equipped with 305mm Krupp main guns, while Zhenjiang is only equipped with The 127mm main gun, the gap is really too big, is this kind of firepower enough?"

Sa Zhenbing's eyes widened: "Kids, don't talk too much. How to build a warship is based on tactical considerations. Don't ask more questions about things you shouldn't know!"

Shen Honglie said with a smile: "Old Sa, you must have this question too, right?"

Sa Zhenbing's face was also slightly flushed. It is true that as an old navy, he is more obsessed with warships, but he knows that some things need to be kept secret.

"Old Sa, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, this secret won't be kept for long. Within half a month, the Fengtian will be launched!"

Fengtian?Hearing these three words, Sa Zhenbing and Sa Shijun, the young and old, all stared round their eyes. The naming of warships is very regular. According to the current situation, heavy cruisers are named after the provincial capitals. Harbin and Jilin, and light cruisers are named after ordinary cities, that is, Zhenjiang and Liaoyang.

The Fengtian is undoubtedly named after the provincial administrative region, and Fengtian is different from other provinces. It is the place where Zhang Tinglan started and is also the most important shipbuilding base in China.Obviously, this Fengtian ship has a milestone significance, otherwise it would definitely not be eligible for this name.

Sa Shijun's face also flushed instantly. He is the grandnephew of Sa Zhenbing, who was born in a naval family. on experience.However, the warships he served on were all inland river gunships, and there were no big guys.

But Sa Shijun has been paying attention to the development of the navy, especially since the return of the Mackensen, his heart has been suspended. He has been collecting information about the Mackensen through various materials.The enthusiasm is far higher than those military fans of later generations. Because the current information is not developed enough, there is not much news that can be obtained.However, as long as he saw the news of the Mackensen, he would collect it, and there was a photo of the Mackensen sailing into Huludao pasted on his bedside.

There is no doubt that light cruisers are the limit of China's current shipbuilding capabilities, and the only one that can match Fengtian is the refitted Mackenson.Sa Shijun was ecstatic when he thought that this warship would be launched in half a month.
