Chapter 1216 35 million soldiers
In the northwest of November, the weather is not much. There was just a snowfall a few days ago, and today the sun is out. Although there are still no snow stains on the side of the road, the streets are extremely clean.
Compared with a few months ago, there seemed to be fewer people in Baotou. Since Baotou became the largest city in China, similar industrial transfers have been carried out several times. This time, it is the largest one. Not only will the industry be transferred, but even the industrial-related research institutes will also move.
Baotou is currently the largest city in China, and its conditions are the best in China in all aspects. However, in terms of research, except for a few disciplines, others may not be the best place.
For example, take the Naval Research Institute as an example. Although Baotou is close to the Yellow River, how can the Yellow River be compared with the sea? During this wave of migration, the Naval Research Institute will also migrate to Dalian at the same time, and even be divided into 5 research institutes, namely 901 to 905, stationed in Qingdao, Lushun, Dalian, Beijing and Tianjin respectively.
After several years of development, the economic strength of the Baotou Special Zone is particularly strong. After de-industrialization, a large number of factories have been moved away, leaving behind core and some huge scales. Now, these have also been moved away. This is the sorrow of industrial cities. Because cities with prosperous industries often decline due to industry. In history, the Northeast Industrial Base of New China was like this when it was in pain.
However, this pain is unlikely to occur in China. With Yang Yuanzhao and the all-in-one machine, the Northwest may be the undisputed world's largest industrial power in the next century. With a century of foundation, China's advantages are no longer stopped.
In the future, Baotou will truly become a political center, economic center, and financial center, but will not become an industrial center. At most, some smoke-free industries will be installed, such as pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, software industry, semiconductors, etc., but there will not be too many.
The overall industrial situation involves a game of chess in the country. Even the Ministry of Industry is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. Yang Yuanzhao doesn't know that he just casually said something, such as being as close as possible to resources or industrial raw materials. China's transportation is developed enough. It may be a little more cost-saving and preparing for the future. China's current mechanical processing strength is not worried about costs, but cost control is one-something that of others, so China can market in the world, but China may not be able to maintain such absolute advantages. Once it shrinks, it may even be tied. These details and systematization are the key points.
With experience in Baotou industrial base and industrial concepts learned from Germany, although it is the first time, it is not difficult to achieve an overall layout under coordination. It is nothing more than how much money is spent. The current layout of China is no longer like Baotou, and it has developed from poverty and backwardness. The development of Baotou and the northwest has laid the foundation for the development of the entire China. As long as the funds and personnel are in place, everything will develop rapidly.
Industry is just the foundation. Among the three aspects of the industrial layout and the research and development of emerging technologies that China is currently working hard to achieve, Yang Yuanzhao did not clearly state that it is important. In the actual order, the speed of military expansion has been significantly increased, and the expansion speed of regular field troops has doubled. In other fields, semi-militarized training is also intensifying. Countless weapons and equipment, produced from factories, are transported to various parts of China, and are supplemented to field barracks and semi-militarized training bases.
China's huge population provided great convenience for conscription. At the beginning, the soldiers were only strong and strong. However, with the popularization of compulsory education in the northwest, when a group of young people who received four years of compulsory education in 1913, when they received four years of compulsory education and had basically had the ability to continue learning, they not only alarmed the Education Department, but also alarmed the Ministry of Industry and Yang Yuanzhao. In the view of the Ministry of Education, students who have qualified mastered these knowledge and have certain strength should go further. Even if they cannot carry out higher-level academic learning, they should always enter the field of technical education, master certain technologies, and become technicians or machine tool workers.
The Northwest also pays attention to the propaganda of soldiers. There are no obvious contradictions between the military and civilians, but the solidified ideas that have been formed still make soldiers synonymous with stupidity and roughness.
The opinions of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Education were immediately refuted by the military. The high-quality talents of the military have always been derived from military academies. The qualities of soldiers with knowledge and training are far beyond those that ordinary soldiers can compare with.
But how many graduates can there be? Although the Northwest Military Academy and military academies at all levels are already large enough, the scale of the Zhong* team is even larger. Every year, non-commissioned officers are promoted and ordinary officers are promoted, they also have to occupy a certain quota. In this case, the number of newly trained officers is really limited. Sometimes, they can only be recruited from excellent soldiers.
Unfortunately, most of these soldiers only went through the military's night school raid study. Although they could write letters and write some simple reports, this was completely incomparable to systematic learning. Suddenly, there were such a group of students who had received 4-5 years of secondary education. Even if they were not the top ones, they were also treasures of the military.
The two sides argued endlessly over this matter and each made their own arguments. The lawsuit was filed with Yang Yuanzhao. Finally, under Yang Yuanzhao's decision, they followed the students' requirements and gave them permission.
The army is equally important. In the future, China will have a strong enough industrial foundation and will also have unimaginable wealth in the whole world. If this wealth is based on the country, it is definitely an astronomical figure. Take the enterprise controlled by Yang Yuanzhao, and its income has reached trillions, let alone the entire China.
If China does not have strong enough force, it will become a child holding gold in the downtown area. In the dark forest era in the early 20th century, it was quite dangerous. Besides, China has to join the Allies and participate in the world war, and the army must become the number one guarantee unit.
With the support of Yang Yuanzhao, especially the power of compulsory education in the implementation of several years, China's illiteracy rate has gradually decreased from more than 99% in about 1910, and has dropped to less than 27% in the northwest. Even if it expands to the national level, it will not exceed 39%. As long as there are two or three years, with the gradual deepening of compulsory education and night literacy classes, this ratio will continue to decrease, and the target in the northwest will be reduced to less than 3%.
For soldiers, a strong body is the foundation, but the modern army, especially the use of a large number of high-tech equipment, cannot play a role in the army without a word, especially the air force and navy that use more technical equipment. If they are illiterate, they may be able to train to a certain extent, but it is difficult to surpass ordinary, let alone the time spent in it.
The gradual popularization of cultural knowledge and the addition of more high-tech talents to the army have always been the recruitment that the military and Yang Yuanzhao have been looking forward to, and attracted by various conditions. This attraction was at its peak in 1913. In addition to industrial layout, the biggest work of China was placed on conscription. Conservative estimates are that by 2 years later, in 1916, the number of regular field troops will increase to 250 divisions. According to the Northwest organization, a full division will have 25,000 troops, and the total strength of the regular army will reach 6.25 million. This number is enough to blind the eyes of the major powers in the world. This is not the whole of the Chinese forces.
The number of militia, internal security forces, and even semi-military troops that have received military training and semi-military training will reach 35 million. Although these are impossible to be recruited, if you want, China will even have more than 40 million military mobilization capabilities. These are not like Russia. The peasants who have just put down their hoes are the weakest among the 35 million semi-military personnel. The militia organization will conduct 7 and a half days of military training every month, and each person consumes an average of 140 bullets per month. This number is much worse than the regular army of the great powers, but is higher than that of the second-tier powers, Turkey, Italy, Austro-Hungary, and even Japan.
On this point, China's huge population advantage is undoubtedly full of evidence, and the main force of the militia is workers. In fact, in China, there are few farmers in absolute significance. To put it bluntly, the farmers of the Production and Construction Corps are workers who manipulate machinery, and the collective nature of the workers is the best soldier in the army.
Of course, it really takes so much. Yang Yuanzhao is very clear that if 40 million is really mobilized, it means that China is already in the most dangerous state. If the 35 million militias were drawn, basically more than half of the factories in the country will be paralyzed, and the entire Chinese industry will suffer a fatal blow.
But Yang Yuanzhao had to guard against the increasingly fierce European war, including Lan Fang's actions in Southeast Asia, the friction between the north and Russia and Japan, told China that the pace of war was approaching, the past history, and even the history of Chinese civilization in the past few thousand years, told Yang Yuanzhao that after the civilization of the world entered the Age of Discovery, there was a clear exchange between the East and West and the Central. During the exchange, the yellow race fell to the disadvantage, so the dominance of the whole world fell to the whites.
In their hands, now, they have come to this world of great struggle. In the face of the overall situation that has not been given for three thousand years, they must catch up. If the huge China wants to achieve good development in the future, it must have enough living space. If China is still worried about food and whether it can have enough food, how can it establish its own position in the world? (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
