Lushun's port conditions and geographical location are rare in the Far East. The port is wide and deep, and it is not frozen all year round. There is only one narrow exit, but inside it is a wide and calm bay that can accommodate hundreds of ships.

After the tsar found this place, his eyes were blood red, and he worked hard to build the Middle East Road and took Lushun Port into his hands. After the Japanese robbed Lushun, they also invested a lot of money. The city seems to be far ahead, marching on the wide streets, with crowds cheering with colorful flags on both sides.

Countless young people are on both sides of the road, looking at these armored vehicles curiously, pointing and pointing, showing surprise expressions, the squadron has developed to this level, even more majestic and majestic than the Japanese. As soon as he appeared, he conquered the hearts of most people.

Luda was successively occupied by Russia and Japan, and the common people were under oppression, so they felt extremely insecure. If they had a strong army, they would feel safe from the bottom of their hearts, and their cheers became louder and louder.

However, amidst the cheers, Zhang Tinglan heard not only excitement, but also a trace of worry. After all, Luda has been ruled by the Japanese for many years, and the various rules and regulations implemented are different from those in other regions of Fengtian. China's economic structure is completely colonial and serves Japan.

If it is changed hastily, it will definitely destroy the jobs of many people, which will cause public backlash and disappointment.This is not uncommon in history. Territories that have been occupied for a long time and then recovered will be more or less conflicting.

Fortunately, Luda has not been occupied for a long time, and it has not reached the point where the national character has changed. However, Zhang Tinglan has also secretly raised her vigilance. She must arrange a strong manpower in Luda, establish an efficient and clean government, and regain the hearts of the people as soon as possible. .

Feng Jun drove to the front of the former Japanese Kanto Governor's Mansion.The plaster flag symbolizing Japanese government rule has been replaced with a five-color flag.

In front of the Governor's Mansion, a large number of celebrities, representatives from all walks of life, and journalists have gathered. They all eagerly want to know what kind of governance philosophy the new ruler of the city will adopt.Some people are happy, while others are worried. After all, during the Japanese rule, they had a lot of cooperation with the Japanese, whether the new government will liquidate it.No one has a clue.

Just when some people were uneasy, Zhang Tinglan stepped onto the podium in military uniform. After watching the enthusiastic crowd, Zhang Tinglan said slowly: "Today is a good day for Luda to return to the motherland. It is natural to cheer and celebrate. , but remember the source of drinking water. The reason why we can return to the motherland. It is all because of countless soldiers throwing their heads, shedding blood, and sacrificing their lives on the battlefield. For this victory, a total of 35042 soldiers were killed. At this moment, let us pay a silent tribute to these heroic and dedicated soldiers 3 minutes!"

After speaking.Zhang Tinglan took the lead and bowed his head, and everyone present could only follow. Many people thought that Zhang Tinglan would directly show off his great martial arts and talk about the meaning of recovery.Unexpectedly, there would be a silent mourning for the soldiers, which made all the soldiers present feel very relieved.

When the commander-in-chief arrived, he always took everyone into his heart, and did not forget the brothers who died!

Three minutes later, after everyone raised their heads, the audience became much more solemn. Zhang Tinglan cleared his throat, and then said: "Lushun is a city with unique advantages and excellent natural conditions. In the Sino-Japanese War, Lushun suffered an unprecedented massacre, and more than 3 compatriots died under the Japanese butcher knife. In 5, the Russians got involved in Luda and forcibly occupied the sacred territory of China. Then Japan and Russia The war broke out, and Japan seized Luda again. Looking back at history, the land under our feet is a land full of disasters, and the people on it are full of sorrow!"

Zhang Tinglan's words aroused the sympathy of many people in the audience. Everyone couldn't help but secretly wiped their tears. Thinking of the grievances of these years, many old people had the idea of ​​suffering, while those young people were holding on tightly. Tighten your fist.

"Here, I want to announce to everyone that the past sufferings are over, Luda has returned to the hands of China, ushered in a new life, and also ushered in opportunities for great development. The future of Luda is bound to be even better!"

"In the next three years, the government will inject [-] million yuan into Luda, focusing on the development of the shipbuilding industry, making it the center of the northern shipbuilding industry. We will build two [-]-ton shipyards. In the foreseeable future, the Chinese people's dream of going to the sea will be realized here, and the foundation of a powerful navy is deeply rooted in the soil of Lushun!"

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, all the people present couldn't help cheering. The bright future Zhang Tinglan said was not empty words, but real money.

In three years, [-] million yuan was spent, and the amount of money has surpassed that of the Japanese.Moreover, shipbuilding is a huge system project that requires a large number of supporting factories, which means that the people in Lushun will not have to worry about employment issues in the future, and the businessmen also see opportunities from it, and their eyes are all round. Get ready now and find a way to get a piece of the action.

As for many foreign journalists, they tasted a different kind of greatness from these words. This is clearly a declaration that the Chinese want to build a large navy and go to the sea.

Reminiscent of the issue of the Mackensen that has been frequently raised these days, everyone feels a little bit bad. Everyone knows that Luda does have a strong shipbuilding foundation.

The shipbuilding industry in Lushun began in the Qing Dynasty. In 1890, 139.35 taels of silver were used to build the Lushun Shipyard. It was the largest military factory in northern China at that time. It had a large and a small dock, as well as a stone berth and a railway branch line in the factory. , hoisting iron frame, iron wharf, warehouse, water and electricity facilities, etc., with 1 production workshops and nearly 9 employees in the whole factory.Its large dock was known as the largest dock in East Asia at that time, and the tap water pipeline was the earliest tap water facility in China.

During the subsequent period of Russian occupation, a large amount of investment was also made. At the end of 1902, the Dalian Shipyard, which completed the first phase of construction and put into production, cost 1 million rubles.The factory covers an area of ​​198.7 Luping, and has a 3.1-ton shipyard and a trestle wharf, 3000 buildings such as factories and warehouses, as well as hydropower facilities.

During the period of Japanese control, the intensity of investment increased a lot. In 1908, after Kawasaki Shipyard leased Dalian Shipyard from Manchurian Railway, it immediately began to expand and rebuild it.First of all, some hydraulic facilities were rebuilt and newly built, and the ship repairing and shipbuilding capabilities were expanded. In March 1913, the 3-ton dock was expanded to a 3000-ton dock, a small mooring wharf and a dry dock were newly built, and the number of production workshops was increased to 5000, and gradually equipped with shipbuilding, machine building, locomotive and vehicle manufacturing plants equipment needed.

Looking through these histories, we can indeed find that Luda’s shipbuilding industry foundation is much stronger than that of Huludao. The most rare thing is that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia, and Japan’s continuous investment, the shipyard has been continuing and developing. Decades of accumulated technology is quite strong.

During the Japanese rule, although investment was also made, there were also restrictions. The main shipbuilding capacity was still kept in the country, and no effort was spared to develop Luda.According to what Zhang Tinglan said, Fengjun is determined to develop Luda. With the accumulation of technology over the years and sufficient funds, it is not impossible to build ships with a capacity of [-] tons.

At this moment, everyone finally had a judgment on Feng Jun's ambitions.According to the development speed of Fengjun, they may really be able to achieve their goals within three to five years, or even faster.And with the Mackensen as a reference, you can directly overcome the technical difficulties of large warships and reach the sky in one step.

After all, it was only a dozen years before Germany rushed from a country with no navy to the second place in the world, and some things often came naturally.

After defeating Russia and Japan in succession, no one dared to doubt Fengjun's firm will. Perhaps the situation in the Far East will soon be completely changed because of Fengjun's strides towards the sea.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan also noticed the terrified reactions of some reporters, and she was secretly happy in her heart. If she wanted to fool the Japanese, it was not enough to rely on a Mackensen alone. .The Japanese must be convinced that Fengjun has greater ambitions and the strength to support them.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan's release of the signal to develop the shipbuilding industry is a part of the overall deception plan. Of course, the development plan is true, but Feng Jun does not need to build battleships, but to vigorously develop aircraft carriers.

However, on Zhang Tinglan's desk, there is already a well-crafted development report, Fengjun plans to start construction of two large battleships within the next three years, and start construction of three more large battleships within five years.

The Japanese have a plan of eight or eight fleets, that is, eight battleships and eight battlecruisers, while the Fengjun is tit-for-tat and wants to build three or three fleets.

Although the difference in numbers between the two sides is more than half, but relying on the mainland as a support, coupled with the assistance of submarines and the air force, this fleet is already capable of threatening Japan.

Moreover, Fengjun has only one opponent at sea, and that is Japan. However, Japan has to deal with the pressure of the United States and Britain, and its forces are scattered.

Of course, this document has been sent to Tokyo through secret spy channels, and it is now in front of the cabinet and military officials.

After Zhang Tinglan's speech, all the reporters from all walks of life were concerned about Fengjun's next move. As a result, Zhang Tinglan personally inspected the shipyard in the afternoon, and talked with many old workers, demanding to follow the example of Fengtian and other places and implement a new management system , improve the treatment of workers.

Later, a large number of technical personnel were transferred from the Huludao Shipyard, many of whom were German experts, and put forward a posture of integrating the two shipyards. Zhang Tinglan also made a suggestion that Lushun has a good foundation and should focus on developing large warships in the future. , As for Huludao, it is to be submarine-based.

At the same time, Fengjun's procurement team also dispatched, and went to Germany, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to purchase machines and technology, posing a posture of going all out to develop the navy.All countries were shocked three times a day, but Zhang Tinglan, the instigator, was basking comfortably on the beach.
