Chapter 318 Industrial Aid

For Chen Qingtong, 1929 was a crucial year in his life. In this year, his political career underwent a historic fundamental turning point. His differences and debates with the Chinese Red Gate in terms of thought, politics and organization were becoming increasingly public.

It eventually upgraded to a direct confrontation with the sect, and he became the representative of the so-called opposition within the holy sect. However, the truth is intriguing. A man who treasoned the country because of ignorance has now seen the face of the Soviet Union clearly and is no longer willing to be an obedient evil dog, and the result is a tragic one.

In November 1929, due to the Central East Road incident, the Red International Far East Bureau clearly required the Red Gate of China to put forward the slogan of "armed defense of the Soviet Union" and organized large-scale demonstrations against the Party and support for the Soviet Union.

In response, Hongmen, a group of good Soviet followers from the Soviet Union, responded positively without hesitation. They held a meeting of the Politburo and decided to start all propaganda machines, and held a demonstration on "Anti-Imperialist Day" on August 1, and strive to launch a strike by the Shanghai Workers General.

The greatest sorrow is that consciences are always strangled by fanatics and ambitious people. Chen Qingtong is such a tragedy. Even if he is the founder of domestic redemption, he cannot escape the disaster of internal cleaning.

Regarding the practice of the Red Gate of China, Chen Qingtong wrote a special letter to the headquarters to criticize, advocating that at this time, one-sided publicity on "supporting the Soviet Union" is not conducive to the country and the people, and we must never simply believe that "the general public agrees that the Soviet Union is a friend of China's liberation."

For this reason, and given that Chen Qingtong and others actually completely opposed the political line of the Red Sect of China, the sect quickly formally decided to expel Chen Qingtong and others from the Holy Sect.

Another slave who was willing to obey the command of the Soviet Union began to ascend to the core of the new generation of leadership collective in the Red Gate, that is Ma Ziren.

Hongmen is a political organization that relies extremely on Soviet aid. Its structure is even similar to religions like Monotheistic religion, but it believes in not gods, but "ism". No matter what kind of blood is left, once you believe in the concept of redification, these people will have nothing to do with the country they are in.

They first obey the decisions of the Holy Gate, and then the country and nation. The so-called treason of the country is to sell everything from spirit to material things.

Jinggang Mountain is located in the southwest of Jiangxi Province, bordering Taihe and Suichuan counties in the east, Hunan and Yanling County in the south, Chaling County in the west, and Yongxin County in the north, and is the gateway to the southwest of Jiangxi Province.

There are ravines and ravines, peaks and steep terrain. The middle part is high and steep, with low hills on both sides. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the towering Jinggang is like a huge castle.

The five major whistles are the "city gate" that must be passed through to enter the "castle". To guard this place, there is a momentum of "one man should be the pass, ten thousand men should not open". It is precisely because of this that the Hongmen can defend against the danger, resist the encirclement and suppression of the ** Army, and take root here deeply.

However, in the past year, life has not been easy. The frequent harassment of the special forces has exhausted the Hongmen headquarters. On the quiet hills, there is a small village where simple villages are gathered together indistinctly, with indescribable bleakness and desolation.

It was noon, and the sun was not strong in late autumn, and it was quite comfortable to dry on the pile of thatched trees. In one of the farm houses, several leaders from the red door were gathering together to discuss the huge difficulties they were facing.

"Zi Ren, it's not OK to continue like this. Agricultural production cuts exceed 30%, and food and wages can be arrears, but soldiers must not stop eating food. If this continues, the three armies will mutiny." Ye Yiwei was already a weathered middle-aged man at this time. His originally fair and handsome face looked like a rough look of a farmer man, and he could no longer see the charm of the past.

The hardships of his recent days have also accumulated a lot of depression.

Ma Ziren was smoking, and the leaders sitting beside him were also smoking. The entire narrow farmhouse was turbid, which made people a little choking. But everyone was upset. What else could they do without smoking?

"Yiwei, how is the matter of collecting grain?" Ma Ziren put down the burned half of the homemade cigarette, his face remained silent, and just asked lightly.

"It is not ideal because of the destruction of the enemy, and the grain produced is very difficult to maintain the livelihood of the farmers. If we collect grain, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction or even rebellion." Ye Yiwei said this and felt unspeakable bitterness. Hongmen originally appeared in front of the peasant class as a savior.

But now it has become an annoying fly. They have also tasted the troubles of guerrilla warfare. The enemy is not a small person like the local guards of the ** Army that can only simply maintain public order, but a professional soldier with excellent weapons and rapid combat.

Some scattered and captured weapons have been seen, but their own technical departments cannot imitate them at all. Even if some can be manufactured, it will have no meaning. What the army needs is something that can be supplied in batches, rather than a few luxury goods that can only be made in one piece.

Within the Red Army of Hongmen, Ye Yiwei had a high status, in charge of military industry and taxation, and was also a powerful general with military power.

His original ambition was gone now. Looking at the clear sky outside the window, he felt depressed inside. He silently thought in his heart: Did my original choice be wrong?

Compared with the depression and depression of the Hongmen people, Song Ziwen and his party seemed quite relaxed and happy. In a month, they obtained many urgently needed things, such as trade agreements between the two sides and arms procurement matters.

Even the China Economic Union has agreed to establish three super-large rifle production lines for the ** government, as well as the technology transfer of machine gun production, and artillery of various calibers are also supplied to the ** army at preferential prices.

Even tanks and many light armored vehicles were still sold. Such actions made senior leaders of the ** army such as Jiang Ruiyuan were full of doubts. But no matter what, they always refused to accept the demand for arms and did not worry too much.

Song Ziwen left Humen Port with satisfaction. With him, the arms weapons filled with a cargo ship, and full of dreams of dominating China, sailed towards Shanghai.

In a private room in Cangqiong Hall, several core figures of the Guwen Association were also arguing about this matter. Selling weapons and equipment to the enemy was something that many people disagree with, not to mention that Zhong Yang actually planned to help Jiang Ruiyuan establish an arms production line, which made many people even more confused.

"Yang, are you really planning to help the ** government establish a military-industrial enterprise?" Liu Haoran was speaking. He had a good relationship with Jiang Ruiyuan, but he had rarely contacted him in recent years. From his position, saying such words is enough to show the mentality of others.

"It's just three rifle production lines and one artillery production line, and it won't have much impact on our business." Rather than saying it was the decision of the China Economic Union, it was better to say it was a cooperation agreement reached by Zhong Yang and Song Ziwen in private.

The ** Army handed over the mineral development rights in some areas to Zhong Yang, and Zhong Yang helped the ** Army establish a certain military industrial production system through the name of the Industrial and Economic Union. This is a transaction that is beneficial to both parties.

However, Zhong Yang could still feel some of the dissatisfaction from Liu Haoran and others, and he also knew the reasons inside. Arms trading is a major source of income. If Jiang Ruiyuan himself could produce weapons and ammunition, the amount purchased from Hualian would inevitably decrease.

The rifle production lines supported by Zhong Yang are to produce a rifle that imitates the 20-shot German Mauser. The main improvement is the range and accuracy, which is better than the original. What is more important is the production. If the production capacity is fully opened, 150,000 rifles and 60 million rounds of bullets can be produced every month.

Such output is more than ten times the total of all rifle production lines of the ** Army. It will definitely be a huge impact on Hualian's arms transactions.

In terms of military affairs, it is also a huge threat to the Chinese army. Many people are worried about the negative impact this matter will bring, but they are not as calm as Zhong Yang.

"The strategic intentions of the ** Army are unclear. Do we seem too frivolous to do this?" Chen Ze and the ** Army have always had a disagreement, but this time they spoke not entirely because of personal grudges. The Central Plains War had just won, and once the military was strengthened, it was difficult to ensure whether the ** Army would have the intention to go south to unify.

"Look at this place," Zhong Yang snapped his fingers, and a small self-propelled robot appeared in the spacious room. Just above the iron can, there was a dome three-dimensional imaging projector. The green light shone, and a Chinese regional situation map was displayed in front of everyone.

"Our helping the ** Army to establish a certain heavy industrial system will definitely bring hidden dangers to our defense and security issues, but rather than worrying about this, we should pay more attention to the international situation." After saying that, Zhong Yang squinted his eyes and looked at the expressions of these people.

Yi Zhongming has always been reluctant to interfere in political affairs, but Liu Haoran and Chen Ze are more keen. Gu Yuejun and Zhou Hua are also on their side, and their only concern is the thoughts of the industrialists of the China Economic Union. Seeing that a few people were silent, Zhong Yang had to continue saying: "Everyone knows the Central East Road incident. In the next year, Japan will inevitably invade the Northeast."

"How is this possible? The Japanese have already established their foothold in Manchuria and Mongolia, and their policies in recent years have also sought to be consistent with the Western powers. Are you not afraid of being punished by the world in such a brazen way?"

Chen Ze and Liu Haoran both have foreign friends, and they know some of the evolution of political situations around the world. They still find it difficult to accept Zhong Yang's shocking words for a while. In their eyes, no matter how arrogant Japan is, it will not start a war at this critical moment.

"No, since the Kaohsiung Harbour incident, the insurgents throughout Taiwan have caused the popularity of the political association to be greatly reduced. Coupled with the arrival of the economic crisis, Japan, which relies on overseas trade, has suffered a heavy blow. They have no choice but to war."

Zhong Yang's words were not a bluff. Japan's pro-war faction has fully controlled Japan's cabinet, and its political program will inevitably become more and more radical. Rather than saying that it was a war of aggression against China initiated by a few armies, it is better to say that all the Japanese have such thoughts.

Including every ordinary Japanese citizen, he is extremely eager for the current hardship to improve his current life. If war can gain wealth and hope, why not let other nations bleed and water their future?

This is a national war, there is no so-called right or wrong, only victory or defeat

Everyone here is familiar with the large-scale armed rebellion on Taiwan. Hualian itself played a disgraceful role in this matter. But if it was really what Zhong Yang said, then the pattern of helping the ** army build a heavy industrial system would be completely different.

Hualian is located in the southern end of China. Facing the Japanese army offensive, it is in the rear and has a stable environment to continue to develop. On the contrary, the ** army is very different. They can only stand in front and have no way out.

Even if the ** Army wants to establish a complete military production system and then threaten the Hualian militarily, it will be four years later. The Japanese will not give the ** Army this time, so there is no need to worry about the ** Army's plan to invade the south, but instead they must strengthen their war strength.

If you lose or even surrender to Japan because of the huge gap in strength, the situation of Hualian will be very bad. Only by strengthening the war potential of the ** government can you get a chance to breathe for your stable development. And if you already have a strong navy, Hualian can also focus on dealing with Japan's joint fleet.

Chen Ze and Liu Haoran have also been promoted for a long time. They have also had such a concept of overall situations when considering problems. They are no longer the superficial people who have always looked at flies and profits.

"You have also seen that even if it is strengthened, the ** government is still no match for the Japanese army. Moreover, the consumption brought by the war will drag down Jiang Ruiyuan. Our current investment will bring us a hundred times the profit in the future. Don't forget that the training of workers is the most important thing."

This sentence makes people shine, it is indeed the case. Now it is equivalent to the party spending money to buy the equipment back and then cultivating a group of workers. After the war fails, Hualian will take over all this, and this transaction is indeed cost-effective.

The only consideration is whether the Hualian Army can handle such a task, but this is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt. After the last large-scale battle, the combat power of the Chinese army has been tested and is an armed force that can be used as a reliance. Moreover, new weapons and equipment are already under development. As long as the training of the troops is intensified, everyone will still be very confident in the future war.

After reaching a consensus within, Zhong Yang expressed his comprehensive plan, mainly about technical assistance to heavy industry. Within four years, the Party must help establish an armed forces production chain that can provide basic military supplies. The equipment introduction and personnel training involved in it are all projects with a lot of benefits.

Distribution is also a must. Within the Industrial and Economic Union, many people must be interested in this construction plan. Zhong Yang can also throw out authority values ​​as prizes to encourage such technical cooperation. Of course, at the cutting-edge military technology, it must be strictly restricted. Missiles and electronic equipment are absolutely prohibited from exporting materials.

The first step in the industrial aid plan is to actively persuade Jiang Ruiyuan to sort out the steel plants under his rule to promote the progress of China's industry and economic development, and at the same time solve the raw material problems in the weapons manufacturing process for the ** Army. The steel industry is the inevitable core of the heavy industry system. Without a certain steel output and metal processing technology, what else can we talk about in heavy industry?

First, we purchase new machines from factories under the Industrial and Economic Union, and plan to build a modern steelmaking plant with an annual output of 10,000 tons of steel. The goal is to complete the 1,500 Kirovat powerhouse, three-ton electric furnace, three-ton converter, three-ton tank blowing furnace, sand room, drying room, small steel rolling mill and reheating furnace, etc., by the end of 1934, all of which must be installed in sequence.

This project alone is expected to cost more than 1.3 million yuan, and the government should be very happy to pay. As for the situation of stolen debt, Hualian is not afraid of stolen debts.

Considering that once a national war breaks out, the coastal and river industrial zones will inevitably be directly threatened by the Japanese army, Zhong Yang also suggested that the layout of these heavy industrial production lines be considered concealment and defense depth, rather than completely following market-oriented economic needs. This is very important, because now is definitely not a peaceful situation where you can make money peacefully.

The ** Army itself also took over many industries left over from the Beiyang warlord era and even the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty. Song Ziwen, who was in charge of the economy, praised the Industrial and Economic Union's industrial aid plan.

The first phase of the plan has begun. The Industrial and Economic Union has sent a professional technical team to evaluate and rectify a steel production plant located in Hubei.

Under the guidance of Hualian Industrial Aid Team, Song Ziwen personally presided over the affairs. He actively carried out the cleaning of the original machines and materials of the factory and various preparations before the start of the new factory. He formulated a production plan for the start of construction. This plan combined with the actual situation of Hubei and the factory, and established the principle of "basic industrial coal, iron and steel should be mined by themselves and supplied by themselves".

Then, based on this principle, we urged our subordinates to complete the selection of the factory site, and we were on the verge of large rivers and connected to highways. The transportation was very convenient and the nearby minerals were rich in raw materials.

In the purchase of machine materials, it is mainly purchased from the Industrial and Economic Union, and some are purchased from developed countries such as the United States and Germany. These machines include Scoda boilers, turbines, crushers, ball mills, transformers, etc., and the selection of steelmaking raw materials.

In addition, we have completed the work of requisition of land, building factories, installing machines, training employees, etc., and also hired Hualian's engineering and technical team to provide guidance on the production work of the steel plant in production.

With the economic aid from the United States, the ** Army began its own vigorous industrialization construction. Hualian was not idle either. In addition to exporting a large number of heavy industrial equipment, manufacturing process authorization and helping the ** government to train workers, its own heavy industrial construction was also unstoppable.

In this most glorious era of the industrial era, and also the deepest era, there is such a group of people who silently contribute their efforts and sweat for the country's national defense industry.

They are not political stars or important members of the military. They are just the most ordinary and humble technical workers in the industrial age. They are the cornerstones, which have supported a huge industrial empire and allowed the world to permeate the roar of machines.
