Fengxian Jiangshan

After two rounds of fierce competition, the Sino-Italian cooperation plan defeated the United States and Britain as it wished, and became the big winner of Chile's next-generation battleship. When the good news was announced, everyone in the delegation laughed like children. These days they They worked hard and completed an almost impossible task. When it came time to win, everyone seemed to be dreaming.

We won, we won!

Everyone couldn't help shouting in their hearts that the Chinese could really defeat a strong opponent and won this super order worth 4500 million yuan.Unlike Siam, a country that has been shrouded by China for many years, Chile is far away, and it was won entirely by strength.

This is not just a large amount of income, but also means that China has entered the high-end arms market from now on, and there are not many countries that can enter this market.Even if Japan is not successful, of course it does not mean that Japanese technology is not good, but that they do not have the courage to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

That's the way it is, if you don't fight, it's not yours. When you heard the news that the Chinese delegation had won, Panasonic Rokin was the most angry.

It was unbearable for him that such a large piece of fat fell into the hands of China.When he was sulking, he saw the Chinese delegation returning happily. Everyone smelled of alcohol, accompanied by a group of blonde girls, which made everyone jealous.

"Hmph, don't get complacent too early. If the warship produced by some people can't float at all in the end and becomes a living coffin at sea, I'm afraid it will become the laughing stock of the world."

"Thank you for your concern. The Chinese feel confident to build a first-class warship. And I also tell you that even if it fails, we can still mortgage the Changbaishan to Chile. It will never delay the time for the customer to form an army."

Speaking of this, Chen Jing sneered and said: "I seem to have forgotten that the Changbaishan was once called the Kirishima. If your country can send both the Nagato and the Mutsu, we will be even happier."

This sentence hit the sore spot of the Japanese, Panasonic Rongqing waited with a pair of mouse eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.Chen Jing and the others didn't care, this success had already given them enough confidence.

In fact, not only them, but also the domestic people are very excited. When Zhang Tinglan made this decision at first, almost no one could believe that the Chinese people have the ability to take food from a tiger's mouth.Grab this list.

Even Wu Yulin and the others held the mentality of giving it a try. When the news of being selected came back, China immediately became boiling, and major newspapers rushed to report.This is a milestone in China's high-tech industry and a milestone in China's international status.

Can be in the field of arms sales.Defeating the United States and Britain undoubtedly represents China's entry into the ranks of the world's top countries.Every Chinese can pat their chests and say.We are also great powers!

Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. After his success, he immediately sent a telegram to Mussolini.China's ability to get the order has an inseparable relationship with Italy's help.

Although Zhang Tinglan looks down on Mussolini, who is superior and inferior, but when there is no war, Italy is still one of the top four in Europe.Good relations with Italy and mutual cooperation between the two countries are also a constraint on the United States and Britain.

As for Mussolini, he is even more arrogant and proud, since he opened the Chinese market.Italy's economic development has entered the fast lane.His position became more and more stable, and the rule of the fascist party was completely established.After the success of grabbing the order this time, Mussolini made a public speech, saying that this is a great victory for the cooperation between Italy and China, and the two countries will carry out more cooperation in the future.

However, compared to everyone's optimism, Jiang Baili was not very optimistic. He directly found Zhang Tinglan.

"Humble words, the Americans have long shouted that the Americas are the Americas of the United States. I am afraid they will not let us intervene so easily. Even if the bid is successful, they can still destroy it. I think we should not rush to fulfill the promise and observe first. For a moment, lest the Chileans go back on their word."

"Brother Baili, your worries are not wrong at all, but I am determined to win the South American market. The United States will definitely not let it go, but we have to see if God will give them this opportunity!"

The unprecedented Great Depression is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Tinglan's confidence is getting bigger and bigger. In fact, in previous economic crises, the stronger the government's control power, on the contrary, not only will it not be hurt, but it will go up against the trend. As one goes up and down, China also wants to expand its influence.

Although it is not enough to delineate the sphere of influence, extending the economic tentacles and binding as many countries as possible has gradually been included in Zhang Tinglan's calculation.

As one's strength increases, one's ambitions will expand. At first, Zhang Tinglan was only thinking about self-protection. After the unification of the country, Zhang Tinglan was mostly thinking about recuperating, keeping a low profile.Wait until World War II, and then take advantage of the trend and become a world power.

However, with the progress of China's industrialization, Zhang Tinglan felt more and more that there was a problem with this safest method.The biggest problem lies in the size of China. With a scale of more than 5 million people, within 20 years, the population will reach at least [-] million, or even more.

The size of China is almost equivalent to the sum of all developed countries. How many resources and energy such a country needs are astronomical figures.

After a certain period of time, the resources that the world can provide are quite limited. If Europe and the United States eat up the fattest piece, China's industrial progress will be delayed.

Industrial development is something that cannot be waited for. The sooner it is completed, the less risk there will be, and the lower the cost will be.Otherwise, once it drags on, China might fall into the trap of Latin Americanization and never get out.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tinglan is so interested in Chile, and time is not waiting for anyone. Even if he doesn't want to fight, he must fight.

"Brother Baili, you said that if the economy suddenly collapsed, the foreign trade of various countries almost came to a standstill, factories closed, workers lost their jobs, and production stopped, what do you think the world will be like?"

"Ah?" Jiang Baili was also taken aback by Zhang Tinglan's description, and hurriedly said: "If this is the case, I think the world will be full of wars."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Exactly, Brother Baili, according to observations, there is a serious bubble in the U.S. economy, which is in danger of bursting at any time. The U.S. is the largest economic power and the largest trading country. Once the U.S. collapses, The impact on the world would be fatal."

"Zhuoyan, since it's so powerful, what countermeasures can we have?"

"Brother Baili, the so-called economic crisis is caused by blindness and overcapacity. We still have huge market potential, coupled with the effective guidance of the government. This crisis will not hurt us, but will also provide China with an unprecedented Opportunity. We can safely and boldly absorb advanced technologies from various countries, and it can be said that the industry will usher in an unprecedented development.”

"That's great." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "Your prophecy has never failed in so many years. I hope it can be true this time. In China, if it is strong, it will rule the world. If it is weak , it will become a place of four wars. There will be opponents everywhere."

"That's right, although Russia has been defeated recently. But Japan is still in sight. Taiwan, in particular, must also be resolved. This island is too important. Only by taking Taiwan can we have a base in the Pacific Ocean. Apart from Taiwan, the best Then take Ryukyu down. This way the door will be completely opened.

"These two places are the lifelines of the Japanese. If you want to take them down, you have to fight Japan desperately. I think the opportunity is not yet ripe." Jiang Baili said: "There have been voices in China to recover Taiwan. Many senior The officers are also gearing up and eager to try."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she also smiled helplessly. Successive victories in foreign wars have already made some generals arrogant, and all of them are militants.Zhang Tinglan can't directly suppress this enthusiasm, but if they follow their wishes, something bad will happen sooner or later.

So Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Since they are gearing up, let them lead troops into the plateau, and it should be resolved here."

As a unified country, Zhang Tinglan certainly cannot allow the backward slave system to still exist in some areas, such as Yunnan and other places, where the chieftains have all been completely cleared out with the advancement of the land reform.

Without these people, the authority of the government has also increased unprecedentedly, and its ability to control the local area has also doubled. However, there is only one thing, that is, there are some troubles in the plateau area, and Zhang Tinglan did not act hastily.

Now with the complete stabilization of northern Xinjiang, it is time for the Southwest to be resolved, especially when the roads in Yunnan-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet, and Xinjiang-Tibet are completed, and sending troops to the plateau will not be so troublesome.This most stubborn fortress has finally come to an end. Zhang Tinglan's attitude is very clear, the backward serfdom system must be cleaned up, and education must be vigorously promoted to change customs.

"Humble words, the plateau is actually not a military issue. During the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Erfeng led a large army, and he was able to solve the rebellion, not to mention our current armed forces. It's just a war of heart attack. The traditional declaration of war may not be so easy."

"That's right, but the more difficult it is, the more beautiful it must be solved."

"Since Zhuoyan's determination has been made, there is nothing to say. We promise to complete the task."

……

After Zhang Tinglan assigned the task, it is a very huge project to solve the problem of the plateau. The military is only one part of it. .

Under the instruction of Zhang Tinglan, the Propaganda Department published a large number of stories on the plateau, truthfully introducing the pain of the bottom serfs.When the people of the country heard that there is still the use of living sacrifices in this era, they were all shocked. No one would have thought that something that has always been in the history books would still happen on the vast land. challenging human conscience.

Those various instruments of torture were displayed, and some bottom-level serfs who escaped even narrated their own experiences, and public opinion became even more heated.

Life is so cheap, and those monks who are full of chanting can forget the dogma of equality of all beings, treat millions of people as slaves, and kill them arbitrarily. This is simply unforgivable.

Therefore, public opinion strongly demands that the government must take action to change the situation on the plateau, and some non-governmental organizations have even been established.They sent volunteers into the plateau to witness the situation on the plateau and find a way out for the people there.

Under the persecution of "public opinion", Zhang Tinglan also sent an investigation team into Sichuan.Although it was called a team, it had quite a few people, a total of several hundred people. In addition, three divisions were drawn from neighboring areas, ready to march into the plateau at any time.

The team leader fell on Yan Xishan's head, and the deputy team leader was Chen Jiongming. After they arrived in Chengdu, they first sent out an invitation, hoping that all religious leaders and noble leaders in the plateau could gather in Chengdu to discuss issues together and find a suitable solution. s solution.

In fact, since the public outcry, the plateau has also been shocked three times a day. They don't know how strong the National Defense Forces are, but no one will naively think that they can fight against the central government.Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to them, these people are terrified, restless.

After getting Yan Xishan's invitation, those who were considered smart came immediately, and finally one after another, hundreds of people gathered in Chengdu, and some wanted to resist stubbornly, so they pretended to be unwell and did not come.

Yan Xishan's play is not only to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but also to throw stones to ask the way. Those who can come show that there is still a center in their eyes, which can be reformed, and there is no need to beat them to death. Those who refuse to come will only have a dead end.

"Everyone, some things are like a child getting vaccinated. No matter how much the child cries, he can't escape it. Therefore, smart children will pretend to be brave and end it quickly, so that they can get candy from their parents. But some stupid children just cry loudly, which makes the parents impatient. In the end, they still have to get an injection, and they torment themselves enough, but they can't get anything. Here, I hope everyone Be a smart person, don't mislead others and yourself!"

When Yan Xishan said these words, the armies of the three divisions had already marched into the plateau separately.Hand over weapons, register serfs, and check pastures.

A large number of civil servants, under the protection of the army, carried out meticulous work.Of course, many people are dissatisfied with these mainland officials.They organize thugs, pull up troops, and want to resist, but the army is not for watching.As long as there is a slight disturbance, the army will immediately start to move.

Those who took the lead in making trouble were killed, and the others were sent to the Northwest and other places as coolies.As the plateau became clearer and clearer, the action of dividing the fields and land began.The serfs who were suppressed at the bottom in the past finally regained their freedom and got the land.

The owner's property was divided equally, and for the first time they wore new clothes and shoes, and for the first time had a formal ID card and a land ownership certificate.This feeling is like rising from the lowest level of hell to heaven all at once.In an instant, many people consciously placed the army and even Zhang Tinglan's portrait in the shrine, replacing the old gods.
