The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 186 Assassination ([-])

Both parties knew that there was basically no room for compromise in this matter.

After so many years of hard work, Shen Honglie finally got his own territory. Although it is not big, no matter how small a mosquito is, he is still a piece of meat!With so many people under him, leading a fleet, he is considered a man with strength in his hands. If there is no Qingdao and the navy, he will end up as a condominium in the Shanghai or Tianjin Concession.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Bin to give in.Shen Honglie could see clearly that this kid is not big, and he is definitely not small in spirit. Although the task force didn't give an organization, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he can be as big as he wants!It depends on how much money he can pay, whether he can do it or not!

And as a rising star who has become popular, Zhu Bin's rapid rise has already attracted the attention of all parties, and no one dares to pull him over to raise tigers and make troubles --- no one can hold back!Even Lao Jiang has that self-confidence, but he is also cautious in every possible way. He is tightly bound to the coast, and he is not willing to let this guy enter the mainland.Why?Look at his financial resources, look at the fighting power of the First Special Forces, which boss is not afraid!

But you can't offend him yet, this is a great god of wealth, as long as you make this guy happy, you can get thousands of dollars with a casual shake of his hand.Although the result of the Battle of the Great Wall was not satisfactory, and the losses were heavy, let's see how much the 32nd Army benefited from being friends with him! 53 Jun Ye followed Zhanguang, and the people in several surrounding counties made a lot of money, and the construction materials and medicine dealers in Pingjin area all made like pigs' heads.

I can't afford it!This guy can't be teased, can't be stimulated, anyone who dares to provoke him will bite, it doesn't care what your origin is.Wang Zhaoming cattle?Sun Yat-sen, the serious successor of Sun Yat-sen, the revolutionary pioneer of Niu Honghong, has no eyes for others, and he should scold and tidy up, without ambiguity at all.

Insolent, but not domineering, fierce, but not domineering, he does things in a measured manner, and I have never seen him bully anyone.People like Chen Shaokuan get along well with him, don't they?

Letting him come to Shandong must be the handiwork of those people in the government. I'm afraid Zhu Bin is quite happy to wedge him in as a nail!Why, the larger the team, the larger the territory needed.Even if he has money and a big business, and doesn't need local taxation to raise troops, but you still have to have a base for the fleet?

Zhoushan Island is one, but it is too close to Lao Jiang's hometown!It's too close to Shanghai, can Lao Jiang rest assured?I am also afraid that he will conflict with the Japanese in Shanghai or people from other countries, and it will not end.The entire Republic of China still counts on providing taxes and taxes to support millions of troops and officials, so there can be no chaos.

So I got it here, vicious!The only unlucky ones were himself and Han Fuju. Zhang Shaoshuai was forced to leave the field and went abroad. Seeing that the Northeast Army had completely disintegrated, everyone wanted to take a bite. This is bullying!

Shen Honglie was angry, helplessly aggrieved, and depressed, but he couldn't just hand in his gun.

Zhu Bin smiled.Before coming, the trusted advisor Cao Han, a fake Taoist priest, had analyzed Shen Honglie's reaction for him, and he was sure that it was impossible to come here with all martial arts, so facing his questioning, he calmly said: "Commander Shen, you are a man who is loyal to the country. The orthodox soldiers here must have hatred for Japan and the foreign powers, and they must also hope that one day the country will be strong and the military will be strong, so that they can send their troops east, bombard Fusang, and wash away the shame of a century?"

Shen Honglie listened to it, he was never reconciled to being the last one against the Japanese, and the Japanese had been intimidating and luring him all the time, and he never succeeded, and his attitude was very clear, not as vacillating and hypocritical as Han Fuju.Nod your head, it's not easy to agree, just be more reserved.

Zhu Bin said again: "Then, you must also be thinking hard about how to realize this ideal. I have read your "Qingdao City Implementation Urban Planning Plan", in which the planning for people's livelihood and infrastructure construction is wonderful. , Not to mention in China, it is rare in the world, Zhu Bin deeply admires it."

Shen Honglie's "Qingdao City Implementation Urban Planning Plan" promulgated last year is indeed commendable. The biggest feature of this planning work is that it breaks through the original small framework of Qingdao and uses a lot of plans from European and American metropolises such as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, etc. experience as a reference.For the first time, the industrial area was added to the functional division, and the industry was divided into two categories: large industry and small industry. "

Shen Honglie realized that only commercial prosperity is not enough, there must be a sufficiently developed industry, especially the national industry, in order to truly build a competitive international city.

At that time, the urban population of Qingdao was about 20. According to his plan, the population would increase by five times, or 5 million, as the goal.To this end, he expanded the urban space outwards and divided it into five areas according to functions: administration, port, residence, commerce, and industry.

In addition, he also pioneered the construction of the world's earliest "low-rent housing" in Xizhen - the Eight Courtyard.

The first generation of Xizhen is a slum in Qingdao, and a large number of sheds have been built, which hinders the appearance of the city.Shen Honglie went here to inspect, determined to improve the living conditions of the poor, so he built the "Eight Courtyards".Public cleaning and sanitation facilities were built in the courtyard, water and electricity pipelines were connected, and there were neighborhood offices, residents' meeting rooms, etc. Roads were opened around the courtyard, and primary schools and markets were also opened.The area of ​​each household in the civilian courtyard is 16 to 18 square meters, with no more than 4 people living in it, and the monthly rent is 1 yuan (the average monthly income of the general working class was about 22 yuan at that time), and its function is similar to that of today's low-rent housing.

Shen Honglie strictly stipulates that all civil servants, teachers, police officers and other public officials, as well as industrial and commercial persons with assets of more than 500 yuan, are not allowed to rent.

In addition, he also stipulated that out of the annual fiscal revenue of about 450 million to 600 million, at least 70 yuan should be allocated for education investment. This kind of handwriting and deeds are indeed rare in the whole country.

What's rare is that he himself is very well-behaved. Apart from being taken by the old man to have two concubines in order to have children, he has no gossip and keeps himself clean.I usually practice frugality in my meals and rarely eat meat, so I have always been thin, and I have strict requirements on my family, and I will never indulge in nonsense.

All kinds of deeds are extremely rare in the big dye vat of the Republic of China. Zhu Bin always admires such people.

Shen Honglie accepted Zhu Bin's praise, but he was not confused. He didn't think that this fellow would become his admirer. The first words were all good words, but the latter was "but".

"You are an upright official who wants to make a difference. You must do your best to benefit the hometown and work hard for the prosperity and happiness of the people of the country. You can be regarded as a model for our younger generations. However, you should also understand that you may change the country with your own strength. It will not affect the overall situation of the entire country! Even facing the Japanese warships entering and leaving Qingdao at will, there is nothing they can do!"

This serious exposing of people's scars!

Shen Honglie is deeply impressed by this, not to mention anything else, but the "Ball Mill" has run rampant in Jiaozhou Bay no less than dozens of times in the past few years, but there is nothing to do with it!When he heard that Zhu Bin had sunk, he had a rare drink to celebrate.In the past six months, the Japanese navy has restrained a lot here.

But when these words came out of Zhu Bin's mouth, it was a bit unattractive. Shen Honglie couldn't help but clenched his hands, and the legs of his trousers were wrinkled.But he didn't say anything, and waited patiently for him to finish.

Zhu Bin said again: "Hanchen is not talented, and he also has in his heart the ideal of making the country rich and powerful, and admiring the world, so he came back from the United States and tried his best to prepare for it. Until now. I can't say how big the task force will be. But it must be larger than the combined national fleet, otherwise it will not be enough to defeat the Japanese army and defend against the enemy. Therefore, the Guzhenkou base is extremely important, and I will not give it up. For the convenience of the entire fleet, I will also build large-scale construction nearby , I am very interested in Mayor Shen's grand plan."

Shen Honglie and Xie Gangzhe's faces turned pale at times, blue at times, and red at times when they heard it, and their emotions fluctuated constantly with the changes in the content of Zhu Bin's words.

Although Zhu Bin had overestimated his vigor as much as possible, he still didn't expect that this fellow was as majestic and powerful as he was in industrial and commercial construction!

It is the world's largest shipping group, and now it has dominated the world's general ocean transportation. Road transportation, air transportation, and express delivery are constantly attacking the city. The entire group has grown several times from the initial capital of 1 million US dollars! < Qing also has a second one, which is said to be even bigger!

No one can tell how large the trade with the Germans is, but it is said that the various factory equipment and production lines that have been shipped to China in the past six months are no less than [-] million US dollars!In addition to those coming from the United States, there are countless.

Now, actually want to build a bigger navy? !The country's four major fleets add up to about [-] ships, with a total tonnage of only more than [-]. If it exceeds, it is very easy. Two battleships are enough, and this guy is not short of money.But to beat Japan --- how big it is!

The two suddenly remembered the size of the harbor in the report below.It is three kilometers wide and two kilometers long, and encloses half of the base where Dazhu Mountain enters. In comparison, the two ports of Qingdao are not worth mentioning.

Xie Gangzhe gave a dry cough and said, "Brother Hanchen has such ambitions, it is really a blessing for the country. Mayor Shen is now preparing to expand the Dagang Wharf, build a dock, revitalize industry, and strengthen its strength, so that Qingdao can be called a solid outpost against invasion. Bastion, it’s best if you can support it.”

Zhu Bin laughed and said: "Mayor Shen's boldness is heartbreaking. I don't have anything else here. I can build all kinds of basic factories. Qingdao has a superior geographical location and convenient transportation, so it can be vigorously developed. Dagang can build a few more wharves, at least Cargo ships that can dock tens of thousands of tons; steel plants, chemical plants, oil refineries, machinery plants, and shipyards can all be engaged in! Although it is not as good as Shanghai, it can also be unique in the entire North China! Only with these basic industries can we support Military construction!"

The faces of the two of them twisted again, and in Qingdao dialect, Ye Niang!Easier said than done!How much does it cost to build so many factories!

But they have to admit that Zhu Bin has the capital to say that, this guy has already got a piece in Shanghai, and it's not too late to get another piece, right?If a series of factories come here, the population of Qingdao will double in a blink of an eye. The Big Qingdao plan may be realized in a few years. By then, a sea city with a population of one million will be spectacular!

However, is it appropriate to do this in Qingdao?

Xie Gangzhe first thought of the military threat: "I'm afraid Japan himself won't just sit back and let our Daxing industry ignore it? Especially in such an important place as Qingdao, I'm afraid all kinds of sabotage will be unavoidable."

Zhu Bin said confidently: "Conflicts are inevitable, but it's not certain who will suffer. The two of you must know that the fighter planes of our sea outfit are still good. There are dozens of them in Qingdao. I'm afraid Ri himself will have to fight." Weigh it."

We have to weigh it too!

Dozens of fighter jets are placed in Qingdao. Ri himself must be depressed, but what about his side?Shen Honglie and Xie Gangzhe's eyes twitched together.They don't think they can afford that fighter plane. It is said that the ex-factory price is 5 to [-] U.S. dollars each, and if it is fully equipped, it will be at least [-]. This is not counting auxiliary facilities, and personnel training is a lot of money. Can't afford to play, let alone them!

If Zhu Bin had dozens of fighter planes around here, no one would be able to sleep!

The two decided not to discuss this, much to their pride.Xie Gangzhe said again: "The first special force of the special task force has established a great reputation in this battle. Today, the army expansion is imminent. I wonder how Captain Zhu plans to arrange it?"

This story is a bit weird, saying that one regiment defeated the other's division.If it was the Japanese army against the Northeast Army, this happened, but the reverse is a bit unbelievable.But the fact is there, isn't it? The 32nd army was ignored.

Shen Honglie is more reasonable here, but Zhu Bin dares to get more than 3000 people in one group, and does he dare to get [-] in two groups?These days, which big boss who ruled the roost in a separatist regime is not cheating!It's just that, some of them are empty quotas, but Zhu Bin is just obedient and obedient.

If he really got 1 people under his nose, not to mention their Third Fleet, Han Fuju would not be able to sleep.

This was already in the analysis of the staff department, and Zhu Bin answered happily: "The Guzhenkou base is dominated by the navy, and the infantry is only used for training and does not stay."

Shen Xie and the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay.Otherwise, if he came up with a group, no one in Qingdao would have the final say.Right now, this guy doesn't have any navy in his hands, so it's not a cause for concern.

This is what everyone is most concerned about. After talking about it, the rest is easy to talk about.No one wants a conflict to happen, and Zhu Bin expects them to cooperate well to completely seal off that area and turn it into a completely independent base!The global defense base only occupies a corner, and most of them belong to the task force!

The next topic is relatively easy, especially Zhu Bin throws out a bunch of cooperation and investment plans, hoping that Qingdao can build a large-scale industrial base and transshipment base, and the two sides will cooperate.

Shen Honglie was greatly moved!The Jiaoji line connecting Jinpu Road can accept goods from all over the country.As far as the north is concerned, the minerals and agricultural products of Pingjin, Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi, as well as the local coal mines, iron mines, cotton, hemp and tobacco in Shandong, can all enter and exit from here.

With the convenience of the seaport and railway, and the abundant raw materials needed for industry, it is not difficult to start. As long as Zhu Bin solves the problem of sales, it will be a success!As for Ri himself finding fault and sabotage... that's not his own money!If he is willing to give it, we dare to spend it!

Considering being knocked down by sugar-coated bullets, or Zhu Bin using the excuse of building a factory to push in armed forces, it will be a matter of time, and it is useless to worry about it. Maybe one day this guy will pinch Ri himself, and it will be a war disaster.

As long as it is harmless to him, Shen Honglie can't control that much, and the rest will give Han Fuju a headache!

After some conversation, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.Knowing that Zhu Bin can't stay here for too long, lest Ri himself arrange an assassination or something after getting the news, he didn't hold a grand banquet. In the evening, he set up a table at the zhengfu reception, all of which were accompanied by trusted close people. After some entertainment, he slept peacefully under the guard of heavy soldiers.

That night, on the "Haiqi" ​​cruiser moored in the military port, several officers were gathering together. The leader was the deputy captain Jiang Xiyuan, and the others were all senior officers from the Northeast of the Third Fleet.

The captain's cabin, which has always demanded cleanliness, set out a pile of wine and meat for them, and the smoke from smoking made it extremely turbid.Jiang Xiyuan's eyes were red, and he stared fiercely at the other people, and asked sternly: "Shen must have refused to give power, and now he was bullied by Zhu Hanchen at the door, but he had to stay with his smiling face to get the benefit. Think about us old brothers?! Can you bear it?!"

"Fuck! I can't stand it any longer! If it weren't for our help, he would have been killed by Ling Xiao last year! How could he be as good as he is today! If he wants to sell our Northeast Navy, he has to ask if he agrees !"

An officer pounded on the table, saliva flew everywhere, his eyeballs were also red, and his face was distorted.

"Fuck him! Tomorrow, that surnamed Zhu will also come, let's kill him together! This is called dredging!"

"It's done! Mahler Gobi, I've had enough!"

"Dry……!"

Five or six people clamored for a while, and finally turned their heads to stare at a young officer: "Brother Feng! Then Shen Honglie is your teacher, can't you let go?!"

The young officer bit his lip, his green eyes looked like a wolf in a hurry, "Gaba" pinched the chopsticks in his hand, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "For the sake of righteousness, the friendship between teachers and students is ignored. I will do it." !"
