The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spnps:

A chapter of six thousand words!There is one more tonight.

At this time, Japan was already in a mess. Under the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, Japan's Honshu Island was completely paralyzed in transportation and industry, and hydropower stations and reservoirs were also bombed.

Now even the lights don't work.

Japan suffered huge economic losses under the bombing, and the construction achievements accumulated over decades of Meiji Restoration were destroyed overnight. [

Because the sea transportation was cut off, Japan's Honshu Island could not support Hokkaido at all.

The landing of the Chinese army in Hokkaido made Japan immediately aware of China's intentions. Obviously, China wanted to occupy Hokkaido first and then Sakhalin Island.

As for Japan's Honshu Island, China obviously knows that this is a difficult bone, so it doesn't plan to land on Japan's Honshu Island at all, but has formulated a combat strategy of complete blockade.

Moreover, after the Chinese army landed in Hokkaido, it did not adopt the traditional occupation method, but adopted the occupation method of capturing and killing the Japanese on Hokkaido.

It is equivalent to saying that China does not want the Japanese in Hokkaido at all.

China wants to turn Hokkaido into an island full of ruins, and then immigrate from China, purely for the purpose of expanding its territory.

For a while, high-level officials of the Japanese government had the urge to be overwhelmed.

Japan is so small that it cannot support such a large population, so it has to expand outward.China has a huge land area, but it wants to grab land with Japan, what is the reason for it!

This time Japan has completely hit the iron plate.

Don't think about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere anymore.Even if China stops fighting Japan, Japan will inevitably become a third-rate country.

An island country without a navy, a bombed mess, a barren island country with few resources!What else can develop?

Unless there are external forces that support Japan, give Japan a large amount of investment, and give Japan advanced technology.

It is only possible for the United States, and it is completely impossible for Britain and France to fall into war now.

The Emperor of Japan convened an imperial meeting for this purpose.

Emperor Taisho sat on it with an expression on his face, and every cabinet member dared not look into the eyes of the Emperor of Japan, and all of them lowered their heads.At the same time look down.

"Tell me, what should we do now!" Emperor Taisho said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the rise of China is now unstoppable. With China's population of [-] million and its vast territory, Europe and the United States have nothing to do with China. China will only become stronger and stronger, and Japan will only become more and more powerful because of the war. Weak. When the forces of the two sides are drawn to a certain extent, Japan can only be destroyed." Japanese Cabinet Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma said sadly.

"Baga, God Amaterasu will always bless Japan, how could Japan be destroyed." An extreme cabinet member immediately refuted.you

I saw that Emperor Taisho looked at the cabinet member who was scolding with the eyes of an idiot, but there were complicated emotions in his eyes, and there was a little bit of... gratification. [

The Emperor is God!

The more such idiots there are, the stronger the Emperor's dominance will be.

Many other Japanese cabinet members also looked at the past with idiot-like eyes.The Japanese cabinet member suddenly flushed.

Everyone is pretending to be confused.There are few idiots who are so devoted.

Politicians all know that elevating the emperor to the height of a god is only to establish a ruling framework, so that politicians and soldiers within the framework can enjoy privileged benefits.

Okuma Shigenobu continued: "Now Britain has abandoned Japan, and the United States has the courage to fight China across the Pacific. Japan has no foreign aid at the end of the war. Maybe we can indeed survive until the end of the war, but European and American countries may not be able to Prevent the continuation of this war, because in the eyes of European and American countries, Japan has lost its use value at this time. If they help Japan, their purpose is to let Japan contain China, but in the end Japan will suffer more violent blows revenge."

"But the current Chinese government doesn't leave any room for Japan at all. Their goal is already to destroy Japan." Emperor Taisho said in a speech.

"The situation is far from that bad. What China wants is Japan's conditional surrender, but at least your throne can be preserved and our rule over Japan can be preserved." Okuma Shigenobu continued.

"Let's talk about it!" Emperor Taisho sighed naively, feeling in his heart that he was very unwilling to surrender under such conditions.

……

In midsummer, the land of China ushered in a festive harvest.

The winter wheat has been harvested, and the farmlands in North China have planted corn and other crops after the winter wheat harvest.The spring wheat has entered the mature period, and the early rice in the south has also matured.

This is a bumper year.

There were no major disasters in the country this year, only some local disasters that were not enough to affect the overall situation. Moreover, with the further expansion of chemical fertilizers and agricultural machinery, food production and agricultural production efficiency have increased significantly.

In Hainan 'Agricultural Research Institute', this year the institute successfully cultivated a hybrid rice with an yield of up to 700 kg per mu.

In China during this period, the yield of rice per mu was generally less than 300 kilograms.

The day after the Hainan Agricultural Research Institute announced that it had successfully bred hybrid rice, the Hubei Wuhan Research Institute also announced that it had successfully bred a hybrid rice with a maximum yield of 650 kg per mu.

The emergence of hybrid rice has lifted the spirits of the people across the country. If these hybrid rice can be spread to all provinces in the country, the rice production will not only be doubled, but the increase of seven or eight will be very impressive.

Of course, compared with the hundreds of thousands of hybrid rice varieties in China in later generations, the number of hybrid rice varieties at this time is only a pitiful two, but it proves that hybrid technology can greatly increase food production.

"The breakthrough of the first generation of hybrid rice means that my country will soon become the world's agricultural power. We can not only make food self-sufficient, completely get rid of the embarrassing situation of needing to import food, but also export food to other countries."

"Hybrid rice is a major breakthrough in the history of agriculture. As long as it spreads across the country, it can feed [-] million people."

Various newspapers and media have published comments, and the whole country is immersed in a kind of great happiness and expectation. [

With the increase in grain this year, the Beijing government also announced the abolition of the food rationing system on demand and the restoration of free trade in grain.

However, the workers are still used to eating in the factory canteen. The canteen in this era is still very affordable. There is no waste oil, and the quantity is sufficient, and the ingredients used are not so messy.

After Jiang Yu learned the news of the successful breeding of hybrid rice, he immediately intervened in person.

Soon the news was confirmed.Indeed, it succeeded.

The hybrid rice cultivated in Hainan is more suitable for planting in low-altitude areas, while the hybrid rice cultivated in Wuhan is more suitable for planting in high-altitude areas.

"Let all agricultural research institutes across the country continue to study the first-generation hybrid rice varieties, and start the second-generation hybrid rice breeding project." Jiang Yu immediately gave relevant instructions.

The emergence of the first generation of hybrid rice is like a reservoir that burst its banks.Soon China's first generation of hybrid rice appeared in dozens of varieties within five or six years.

The second phase of hybrid rice has also begun to enter the cultivation stage.

However, the technology of hybrid rice has been blocked by China, and its male and female seeds are strictly controlled, and export and leakage are completely prohibited.

Other countries have not been able to obtain hybrid rice technology.

The United States is not very concerned about hybrid rice technology, and the same is true of European countries, because Europeans and Americans use wheat as their staple food and are not very interested in rice growth, nor do they care about technology theft in this area.

And those countries that use rice as their staple food are mostly backward colonial countries, and it is impossible to steal China's hybrid rice technology.

But the technology of hybrid rice is indeed something of great significance.

Its emergence will allow China to quickly achieve food and clothing for all.And it is the kind of fullness that can be eaten with an open stomach.And there is also food that can be exported.

Later, Vietnam became the world's second largest food exporter because of its hybrid rice technology.

Jiang Yu, as a traveler who is under pressure to rush to the food, covets the Indochina Peninsula.

As long as the Indochina Peninsula is won, China will have a super grain depot.Of course, those three-season rice are a bit unpalatable.For example, the quality of the one-season rice in the Northeast is relatively high, but the fragrant rice produced in the tropics is still very good, but the three-season rice is unpalatable, but it is a very good choice for food for aid.

The agricultural companies under the Huadong Group held meetings for several days.Discuss the expansion of hybrid rice next year.

The agricultural company under the Northwest Group also held a meeting to discuss funding for research on the improvement of crops such as wheat.

The Hainan Agricultural Base immediately began to cultivate hybrid rice seeds on a large scale. The male plants of these hybrid rice plants cannot mature. Therefore, hybrid rice seeds cannot be sown directly, and must be cultivated with male and female seeds.

After these meetings, hybrid rice first gained popularity in consortium agriculture.

After discussion, if hybrid rice is planted on a large scale, the average yield of rice per hectare can reach at least 75 tons, which is equivalent to 500 kilograms per mu.At this time, the average yield of rice per hectare in China was only about 4 tons.

If mechanized farming is adopted, an average yield of 75 tons per hectare can be achieved, and even if it cannot be achieved, it will not be lower than the yield of 7 tons per hectare.And if it is intensive cultivation, it is possible to achieve a yield of 10 tons per hectare.

For the yield per mu of rice, there must be four elements: good seed, good law, good state, and good land. Generally, farmers have so much professional knowledge that if they want to achieve the highest yield per mu, they usually need the kind of hands Farmers who have fertile land, meet good conditions, and have more profound planting knowledge can achieve the output of the experimental field, but it is not impossible.

However, with mechanized farming, it is impossible to achieve such precision, and the output cannot reach the standard of the experimental field, but the output value of individual labor is very high.

Given the current situation where the pressure on China's arable land is not great, mechanized agriculture is obviously better.

Of course everything has a yin and yang opposite, and although mechanized agriculture is good, it doesn't do much good for things like species diversity.

There are gains and losses, and it depends on how to choose.

This year, China also made a breakthrough in agricultural irrigation technology and successfully applied sprinkler irrigation technology to agriculture.And aircraft fertilization, spraying technology has also been developed.

China's agricultural technology has begun to mature.

Northeast soybean production has increased by 300% this year, thanks to the expansion of planting areas and the application of agricultural machinery. China's soybean exports accounted for 95% of international soybean exports this year, firmly grasping soybean pricing right.

At the same time, China’s raw silk exports increased rapidly by 50% this year. The international raw silk market vacated by Japanese raw silk was seized by China, and the export volume of raw silk was still increasing. However, the amount of raw silk produced in China was insufficient, which led to a shortage of raw silk in the international market. The price of raw silk soared.

Tung oil exports have dropped by 30%, but China's domestic demand for tung oil has soared several times.Because China's paint manufacturing industry added traditional tung oil, the paint is not only bright, but also not afraid of scalding.

Before, American lacquer was the best-selling paint in the world, but since Chinese paint entered the international market.American Lacquer was quickly defeated.

The international paint market is gradually monopolized by China due to the high quality of Chinese paints. Therefore, it is normal for the export volume of tung oil to decline. With the development of the paint manufacturing industry, the demand for tung oil in the domestic market is growing rapidly.

The export of tea increased by 60% in this year. First of all, European countries were busy with wars, and the sales of Indian tea had problems.

Furthermore, the packaging and quality of Indian tea have been gradually surpassed by Chinese tea, especially the packaging is not comparable, and the exquisitely packaged Chinese tea is extremely popular in the international market.

As for cotton, 11% of China's arable land is used to grow cotton at this time, and the cotton planting area is nearly [-] million mu.But at this time, China's textile industry began to sweep the global market without any suspense.

China's textile exports soared as Britain plunged into war.Not only was cotton unable to be exported, but a lot of cotton was imported from Russia, Southeast Asia, and India.

The scale of China's textile industry is growing every day, and its high-efficiency textile machinery is far more advanced than that of any country.

China's textile machinery uses the technology of the second industrial revolution and uses electricity.At this time, both the United Kingdom and the United States still used the steam engine, a product of the first industrial revolution, as power.The power transmission is very unstable. First of all, the quality is not as good as Chinese textiles, and the efficiency is not good.

Moreover, China's textile machinery is a very advanced second-generation industrial revolution technology, compared with textile factories born in the second-generation industrial revolution in other countries.The efficiency is still more than 50% higher.

If compared with a textile factory using a steam engine, the efficiency is at least twice as high.

With the continuous development of China's textile industry, textile machinery is getting bigger and bigger, and the textile efficiency of a labor force is also constantly improving.

The number of spindles that can be operated by a worker is increasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The production efficiency of China's textile industry is still improving.

In China, the textile industry has been completely monopolized by the Jiangyu consortium. This industry is no longer accessible to private capital. Even with the current high textile prices, it is still profitable to use traditional textile methods, but the cotton supply is largely monopolized by the consortium. Therefore, only some private textile factories exist sporadically. After the end of the European War, the fate of these textile factories will be closed down.

Most of the textiles exported to the international market are Chinese textiles, and Chinese textiles are rapidly occupying the international textile market with overwhelming momentum.

In this era, the traditional textile industry still occupies a large proportion in the industry.

America has steel, China has textiles.

When American steel was rampant, Chinese textiles were also rampant.

Except that China has less steel output than the United States, most other industries quickly surpassed the United States due to population and more advanced production technology.

Especially as China opened up the trade route in the west, China transported arms exported to the Allies from the northwest to Central Asia, and then shipped them to Iranian ports, where they were loaded on British merchant ships from the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, and then arrived at French ports.

This route greatly shortened the trade distance.

At this time, the Atlantic Ocean has been turned into a sea of ​​​​death by German submarines. After Germany launched a restricted submarine war, British merchant ships suffered extremely heavy losses in the Atlantic Ocean. Within six months, 400 million tons of merchant ships sank, large and small ships More than 1200 ships were sunk.

Under such death threats, Britain and France began to consider increasing imports of materials from China.

With China able to ship goods to the coast of Iran, the speed of imports from China has actually been faster than that of the United States.In order to export to Europe, China is rushing to repair the railway in full swing.

A large number of Russian refugees and Japanese captives worked day and night in Central Asia, and the railway line was divided into five or six sections for construction.

The materials for repairing the railway are constantly being transported from the rear.

There are also a lot of Chinese workers on site, but their wages are obviously the highest. Not every worker is willing to travel so far to repair the railway, so their monthly salary is 5 yuan Yanhuang coins, which is equivalent to 10 yuan. silver dollar.

Under such segmental, day and night urgent repairs, the railway from the northwest to the coastal port of Iran was completed in only six months.

At the same time, the China-Myanmar Railway is also being repaired.

There is something wrong with the rush repair of the China-Myanmar Railway, that is, the weather conditions in Myanmar are relatively harsh.There are many diseases and infectious diseases. Fortunately, the level of medical care in China is not low, and there is no shortage of medicines. This has solved these problems.There was no tragedy like the French who killed more than 20 people when they built the China-Vietnam Railway.

The China-Myanmar Railway was not completed until the first half of 16, and the cost of the project was twice as high as that of the Northwest Railway to Iran.

With the construction of the Northwest Railway to Iran and the Southwest Railway to Myanmar, China's exports to Europe have become very convenient. At the same time, China borders Russia, and almost all Russian orders are taken over by China.

Through exports to the Allies, China subsequently obtained oil exploration rights in the Middle East, and Britain ceded the oil exploration rights in Afghanistan and Iran to China at extremely low prices.

At this time, Iran was not completely occupied by the British, but reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.But China wants to enter Iran.It still needs the consent of Britain and Russia.

Obviously Britain and Russia are unwilling to offend China at this time because of Iran's problems, so China was able to enter Iran and quickly gain a foothold in Iran.

Oil exploration in Iran soon yielded results, and China found an oil field with huge oil reserves, but it was announced that it had only found a small oil field.

The British and Russians can't help feeling that it's just the luck of the Chinese.The blind cat ran into a dead mouse and found an oil field. They didn't even know how amazing the total amount of oil contained in the land of the Middle East was.

China began construction of its first oil well abroad this year, and plans to lay an oil pipeline.But it's not working yet.

Exports to Europe are important now, and there is no time to build such a large project.

Moreover, domestic oil is not in short supply, but can be exported instead, and there is no need to use oil pipelines for the time being.

Under China's parallel means of exporting to Europe by sea and land, and because British ships suffered heavy losses in the Atlantic Ocean, they reduced their imports of materials to the United States. China's material exports to Europe were equal to those of the United States for the first time at the end of 1915.

And it has also occupied the commodity markets in Asia and Australia, and the African commodity market also has the shadow of Chinese products.

Gold from all over the world is continuously flowing into China, and more is also flowing into the United States.

But obviously with the advent of 16, this situation began to change. British merchant ships began to focus on transporting materials in Asia. Although they also imported from the United States, the continuous loss of merchant ships made it impossible for Britain to bear.

Both the United Kingdom and the United States have been devastated by German submarines. These days, there are no mature anti-submarine weapons at all, not even deep water bombs.

Fortunately, for the UK, it is the same to go to China to import materials.

German submarines do not operate on a large scale in the Mediterranean at all. Although German submarines often sink British merchant ships in the Mediterranean, they are much better than the Atlantic.

The reason why Germany did not dare to allow submarines to operate on a large scale in the Mediterranean was mainly because it did not want to offend China.

Because China gave Germany a gadget anti-submarine technology!

Its meaning is self-evident, if Germany hinders China's foreign exports, then this technology will soon appear in front of the politicians of the Allied countries.

Therefore, Germany has not sent submarines to the Mediterranean on a large scale, but it is not completely absent. As long as it is not excessive, China can tolerate it. After all, the merchant ships belong to the British and not to the Chinese. As long as the British continue to import more warships from China Supplies will do.

At the same time, trade between China and the Allies also began.

At the end of 1915, Chinese merchant ships bypassed Malacca, then sailed into the Gulf of Oman, and entered Kuwait.Many large wooden boxes were unloaded from the fleet.

These are all ammunition!

Arms sold to the Ottoman Turks.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire sent people to carry out this arms transaction on the border. This batch of arms is relatively advanced. There are a large number of advanced mortars, as well as a large number of machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, and cannons.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire took out gold, gems and other items in exchange, and some of the arms will be sold to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany.
