.    The inflow of second-strength talents reached its peak in the year of ridicule.  Although the Chinese government has adopted factory control measures and strictly controlled visas, it still cannot control the number of smuggled people.

    The worsening of the world¡¯s Great Depression has still affected China¡¯s economy.  After all, industrial production in this major industrial country has declined significantly.  In particular, the U.S. Congress passed a bill in May this year to increase import tariffs on up to 100 major commodities on average. Countries around the world have taken retaliatory measures and significantly increased tariffs.  This triggered an unprecedented tariff, which made China's already sluggish exports even worse.

    When the Great Recession began, although exports suffered a blow, various measures, especially various policies to increase domestic demand, alleviated this severe contradiction.  However, the continued deterioration of the economic situation has still dealt a certain blow to China's industry, and some industries have been eliminated in the reshuffle.

    However, compared with the chaotic strike demonstrations and hordes of unemployed people in various countries around the world, if a strike occurs in China, it will be strange news.  Although the situation is severe and the environment is harsh, the spirit of the entire nation is extremely full.  Even workers who are temporarily out of work are on unemployment insurance and are hopefully looking for new jobs.  Although they cut down on food and clothing, and although they faced difficulties and even embarrassment, no one despaired, and no one complained about it, and even riots and protests broke out.

    Although the global economic depression has posed unprecedented challenges to the Nanjing government, it is also a rare opportunity for China.  From a national strategic perspective, this is an opportunity for China to shorten the distance with the great powers.  If we seize these precious four to five years, we will be able to take a big step forward in China's industrial and economic strength.

    In addition, the reduction in raw material prices and worker prices brought about by the Great Depression of the world economy has provided a rare opportunity for the Nanjing government to implement a series of construction plans.  According to the calculations of the Political Consultative Committee, if the Great Recession lasts for five years, various investment budgets will be reduced by at least 30% within these five years. This is still a conservative estimate.  If Huafei is willing to expand imports, this proportion will decrease.

    And, this is only calculated based on the value of money invested.  If you include the introduction of a large number of highly experienced engineers and senior technical talents during this period, it is a wealth that cannot be calculated with money.

    Of course, it is impossible for Huafei to agree to expand imports. On the contrary, the Nanjing government has also imposed high tariffs on a large scale for various domestic industrial products that are still in the early stages of development and have relatively weak competitiveness. Like other countries, they have opened trade protection walls.  Of course, large-scale construction investment is huge, and the demand is also staggering.  But there is no reason to transfer such a huge amount of wealth-building investment abroad to help them survive the Great Depression.

    The current domestic industrial base has been relatively complete after nearly two decades of construction.  Even if there are still some flaws, most of them are not extremely important areas, or they are industries that are currently unable to get involved.  Even for those industries with high technical content and high thresholds, special projects have begun to be tackled in the government's new development plan.  Therefore, the development of related fields driven by China's large-scale construction is immeasurable.  The development of infrastructure will inevitably create a large number of jobs, increase social wealth, and further promote the progress of industry, commerce, and even agriculture, complementing each other and forming a virtuous cycle.

    The plunge in world material prices brought about by the Great Depression, especially the plunge in food and resources, allowed China to quickly build up strategic material reserves at the lowest cost.

    Especially the extremely low price of food in the world, which is simply sold as sand and dirt, quickly filling the 100 large-scale grain reserve bases just built in China.

    Hua Fei did not go as far as buying up heavy industries abroad and transporting all their factory facilities back to China, as in some novels. It seemed like a game, and China became extremely powerful overnight.

    "If it were placed during World War I, Hua Fei might have had a little bit of this idea.  But for China, which has initially completed its industrialized system, it is better to produce it on its own than to bring back industrial equipment from abroad a few years ago, more than ten years ago, or even decades ago.

    Although it may be cheaper to move a factory abroad (it is a second-hand product after all), it can also quickly form an extremely large production capacity in China.  However, taking into account various labor costs, transportation costs, and the life cost of the useful life, it may not be very cost-effective.  In addition, with such huge domestic production capacity suddenly generated, where is the market?  Without the support of the market, what is the use of moving these machines back? Even if you move all American industries back, you are just pushing yourself back into the Great Depression.

    Rather than doing this, it is better to follow the laws of the market.  Use the market to stimulate the country's industrial construction and development.  Even if a lot more money is spent, the new factories built are the latest technological achievements.  Use more modernThe term "technical" means that it has a high technological content.  After all, this era is an era of explosion of scientific inventions. Many very advanced survival equipment may be available with more advanced technology support in just a few months.

    The most important thing is that, assuming that there are not all the above flaws, you will have no problem moving back several light industrial production facilities from the United States.  There is no problem in providing employment in the factory. Maybe the US government can give you some tax concessions.  There is no problem if you acquire heavy industries such as steel, chemicals, and machinery in the United States.  But you have to understand that the United States or any other government allows you, a foreigner, to acquire their important industrial areas.  That is to hope that you will solve employment problems, save their factories, and invest in reviving their factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy.  Rather than letting you make a big show of it, just like a moving company, moving their country.

    During the Great Depression, the industrial production in the United States, which was hit hard, probably declined. But even so, half of their industrial factories still continued to produce, and these factories selected by the market after elimination and screening are the most powerful in the United States.  enterprise.  As for these factories, whether you buy their stocks or invest in them, let them stop production and then empty them out?  It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

    Be independent and strive for strength.  Strive to accumulate, this is the fundamental way, and it is also the way of development and construction.

    But this does not mean that Hua Fei has done nothing. Nearly 30% of his capital in the United States was quickly withdrawn before the Wall Street stock market crash. The other 30% was injected into Pan American Bank, taking advantage of the collapse of the banking industry during the Great Depression to acquire a large number of high-quality bank assets.  The good reputation of the publication country is rapidly expanding throughout the United States.

    In addition, the remaining capital was taken advantage of by bargain hunting in the U.S. stock market. Affected by the stock market crash, the entire U.S. stock market collapsed.  U.S. Steel's stock price fell from a low to a low of $1 per share.  General Motors fell from $7 to $7.  Therefore, buying at the bottom during this period no matter what your plans are later.  This is obviously a cost-effective investment plan.

    In addition, a large amount of fixed funds continue to purchase gold and send it back to the country to strengthen the country¡¯s hard currency reserves.  All plans are moving forward in an orderly manner, and after all countries' initial hopes for China to save the Great Depression were shattered, they began to seek breakthroughs on their own.  After Roosevelt came to power in the United States, he vigorously promoted the New Deal and Agricultural Reform and launched a series of drastic reforms in all aspects of society.  In terms of the fiscal and financial system, in the face of the banking industry that continued to fail, he ordered banks to temporarily suspend business for rectification, restore the credibility of banks, and depreciate the yuan to stimulate exports and save American industry.

    The purpose of passing the Renaissance Industrial Law is to prevent overproduction caused by blind competition, formulate regulations for fair operations in various industries, and even stipulate production scale, price levels, wage standards and time limits.  Shortening workers' weekly working hours and raising wages thereby strengthened the government's control and regulation of industrial production and regulated the chaotic market.

    Adjust agricultural policies: Let farmers reduce large areas of cultivated land and slaughter large numbers of livestock. The government will pay subsidies to improve and stabilize agricultural product prices.

    Implementing "relief for work." is also the most important measure, vigorously building public projects, easing social crises and class conflicts, increasing employment and stimulating consumption and production.

    The government has also established a social security system so that retired workers can receive pensions, the unemployed can receive insurance benefits, and mothers with young children and disabled people can receive subsidies.

    Rawls¡¯s New Deal was rolled out intensively and was called the Hundred Days Reform in history.  This is obviously the beginning of a turnaround for the United States, especially the establishment of a regulatory system for the U.S. banking and financial industry, which will have a profound impact on future generations.  The phenomenon of wanton manipulation and insider trading in the stock market that occurred before the Great Depression rarely occurs again.

    But for Hua Fei personally, the situation is not so good.  In particular, he increased exports through the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, posing a strong challenge to Chinese products, and he prohibited private storage of gold and gold securities, stopped converting U.S. dollars into gold, banned gold exports, abandoned the gold standard, abolished public and private debts and paid them in gold, etc.  The series of measures directly forced Huafei to suspend its plan to acquire gold from capital in the United States.  But over the past few years, Hua Fei also purchased and stored a considerable amount of gold reserves. Therefore, after Roosevelt came to power, Hua Fei quickly shifted the main investment direction of its funds to the stock market.

    When Roosevelt came to power, Hitler was also elected as Chancellor of Germany and officially entered the world political stage.  Hitler also carried out a comprehensive reform of the severe German economy at that time. Simply put, he carried out the cartelization of the national economy, also known as state monopoly capitalism.

    The rapid cartelization of the national economy not only provided the economic environment and financial support for Hitler to come to power, but this result itself was also passed down as a valuable legacy and great experience by the Nazis after they came to power.  An important part of Hitler's economic policy was to create cartels in the industrial world and feed them with huge orders.Combine them to create several efficient and loyal giant war gears.

    The most well-known are the three largest cartel groups built with U.S. loans, namely German General Electric, United Steel, and Sifaben. They control the electric power, steel, and chemical industries respectively, and have grasped the industrial lifeline of Germany.  By 2000, United Steel and Sibfaben combined accounted for more than half of the country's total explosives production, and the famous Krupp Arms Company was also under their control.  This is not only due to American loans, but also American technology.  American investors even directly joined their boards of directors.

    Therefore, to a certain extent, the reason why Germany dared or quickly launched the second world war is not unrelated to the unconscious promotion of the Americans.

    The Great Recession will eventually be a thing of the past, and Hua Fei¡¯s two-year term will soon be over.  In the past few years, the country's economic construction has developed in an all-round way and the industrialization revolution has been basically completed.  Not only has the Su-Xi-Shanghai Yangtze River Industrial Belt centered on Shanghai been formed, but also four major industrial centers have been established: the Bohai Rim Industrial Belt, the Northeast Industrial Belt, and the Southern Guangdong Industrial Belt.  It can be as large as an aircraft carrier with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, or as small as a screw on an ordinary machine.  Most of them can achieve full independent production.

    During his ten-year tenure in China, the economic growth rate was high and then low. However, due to proper preparation and effective response during the global Great Depression, the economy was still able to develop steadily. Although the growth rate was not high, it was significantly lower than that of foreign countries.  To even return to the level of World War I is nothing short of a miracle.

    As early as 2008, in the first comprehensive economic census, the country's gross industrial production reached 48 billion Singapore dollars.  In the calculation of gross industrial production, the financial and banking industries are also included, and there is still a certain amount of moisture.  However, the country's agricultural development was limited at that time, and the service industry was even less developed.  After all, China's industry experienced rapid expansion during the golden age of World War I, so it developed very quickly. Therefore, it accounts for at least 70% of the GDP, if not 80%.

    Later, this figure was revised in the second economic system census three years later, shrinking by 7 to 8 billion. The reliable figure of gross industrial production is 41.1 billion. Including agriculture and other service industries, the estimated national product  The total value can reach 48 billion.

    The average economic growth rate in the past few years is about 5% based on the average rate. Therefore, ten years later, when Hua Fei¡¯s second term of ten years is about to expire, the economic strength of the entire country has reached a new level.  The new Taiwan array is worth nearly 80 billion Singapore dollars.  If it were to be calculated, then this number would undoubtedly increase.  Moreover, the proportion of industrial production has not dropped much. What is even more rare is that the proportion of heavy industry in total industrial production has increased.

    In addition, national construction has also made comprehensive progress. Not only the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge across the Yangtze River was successfully opened to traffic a few years ago, but the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has also just been completed.  The completion and opening of the two integrated railway-highway bridges will have great significance and far-reaching impact on improving transportation on both sides of the Yangtze River and promoting economic integration between the north and the south.  In addition, there are two bridges, the Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge and the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge.  As for the bridge beams of other rivers.  In recent years, it has been like spring after the rain, and China's railways have begun to prosper.  Highway construction is also called the miracle of China's ten-year development and construction.

    If we want to count them as miracles, then the miracles in these ten years are definitely far more than these three miracles.  Shan said that two major water conservancy projects, Gezhouba on the Yangtze River and Xiaolangdi on the Yellow River, have been built and started to generate electricity. They were called by private newspapers as the standard for the country to fully enter the era of industrialization.  The completion of the construction of these two major projects is absolutely inseparable from the participation of a large number of foreign technical engineers coming to China.

    In the past ten years, national strength has increased and people's livelihood construction has also progressed rapidly. After the financial situation of compulsory education improved, free compulsory education began to be fully promoted.  Agricultural taxes will be further reduced and rationally adjusted, industrialized production management will be promoted on landlords' land, the long-term labor system for tenant farmers will be abolished, and an agricultural worker or agricultural employment system will be implemented.  Manage with detailed rules and regulations.

    Medical and health aspects.  Basically, medical points will be spread to most towns and villages, so that all people can receive health and medical services.

    In these ten years.  Most of what Hua Fei does is very stable.  Although he has served as the president of the country, on weekdays, he has become extremely low-key, no longer the arrogant, iron-blooded, fanatical and brutal image of the past.

    But during Hua Fei¡¯s second term, he did something that was extremely controversial and remains controversial even now.  Some people even say that this plan would not have been promoted by Hua Fei during his second term.  I am afraid that even with Hua Fei's reputation, he may be in danger if he wants to be re-elected smoothly. This shows how huge the controversy this matter caused at that time.

    ¡°This major domestic immigration plan has caused a sensational response across the country, and we have always respected public opinion and never done anything to undermine the will of the people.¡±Flying out of the country and blatantly implementing this big immigration plan.  No matter who is opposed to it, we must resolutely implement this big immigration plan.

    Specifically speaking, the Great Immigration Plan is a large-scale relocation of ethnic groups in various provinces and regions in the country, especially ethnic groups in western provinces, which will move to the interior in large numbers and extensively.  A large number of so-called ethnic gathering areas in the mainland have also been separated and relocated, and people from the main ethnic groups have moved into the vacant areas in western provinces and minority ethnic gathering areas.

    Externally, three million people were forced to move into the vast area of ????Xing'anling. These people are generally people from the disaster-stricken areas.  Otherwise, they are the landless and propertyless people in the mainland.  Although they were somewhat reluctant, due to the preferential migration policy, they not only distributed land free of charge, but were also exempted from paying taxes for up to ten years.  Therefore, most of these people are relatively stable and have less resentment.

    But although the previous mixed relocation plan also had many preferential punishments, not only the people of the ethnic minorities were unwilling, but even the people of the main ethnic groups also complained. After all, both parties had to move away from their familiar hometown and stay away from their hometowns.  Since ancient times, apart from the fact that they have no way out and must flee famine, these simple people will leave their hometown. They really don't understand why the president insists on moving them in this peaceful and stable era.

    And the residents of the areas where the Juche ethnic group had not been relocated were not happy either. Many of their relatives, friends and neighbors were relocated, and some even moved thousands of miles away. From a clan perspective, this lineage  I'm afraid they will be separated permanently.  Emotionally speaking, it is also difficult for them to accept a group of people whose living habits, beliefs, and even appearance are different from them.

    Although there is a lot of confusion and even dissatisfaction, and although this job is very difficult to do, Hua Fei has set up a special working group for this purpose and is responsible for fully operating this matter.  Local governments mainly focus on persuasion and promote various policies, and the main basis of the policies is for the future stability and interests of the country.

    The propagandists¡¯ most invincible weapon is Hua Fei¡¯s prestige. The most common thing they say is, folks, have you ever seen the president mistreat us people?  The President also understands that the folks are reluctant to leave, understand that the folks don¡¯t want to leave their hometown, and understand that the folks don¡¯t want to leave their relatives and friends.

    "But the president has nothing to do.  Back then, after the president's wife was killed overseas, the president still endured the pain of losing his wife and persisted in his work.  Who is the president doing this for?  It¡¯s not for our people, it¡¯s not for our descendants.

    Maybe many people don¡¯t understand, but.  The president will not harm us.  The president said this is for our children and grandchildren.  This is for long-term peace and stability, so it must not be a lie to us.  Folks, the president can sacrifice his wife for the sake of the country.  Countless families have sacrificed their children for the unity and strength of the country. Can't we make some sacrifices for this country and for our children and grandchildren?

    Although many people have embarked on the journey of migration with the persuasion and efforts of various jobs, forced migration is still unavoidable.  Especially in border areas, various violent resistance incidents caused by migration have broken out frequently.  For this reason, Hua Fei changed his expression of pity and even sent out the armed police force to force the migration.

    Such a "brutal" migration is the biggest factor causing criticism. Some people even pointed out that President Huada has forgotten his original oath and his oath to the country and the people. He is moving towards dictatorship and imperialism.  . The minority parties in the parliament, including the Democratic Party, even launched a call to recall the president. However, even though some members of the Baath Party were roped in, Hua Fei still relied on his absolute authority in the Baath Party and the Baath Party's overwhelming majority in the parliament.  With a majority, he easily resolved this recall against him.

    Hua Fei is speechless.  Although he has stated on various occasions that this is for the long-term development of the country, many people still believe that the current country should focus on stable development.  Many people admire President Hua's strategic vision, but it's a bit strange that no one can see it clearly.

    In fact, Hua Fei¡¯s reason for doing this is very simple, that is, a few simple words to accelerate national integration.  It¡¯s not that Hua Fei doesn¡¯t know that stable development is more needed now, but it¡¯s not him who should do this. Once his term as president ends, are there two other people who can accomplish this?  Hua Fei simply couldn't imagine being reviled.  Then let him carry it.  Anyway, in Hua Fei's opinion, he is indeed too perfect, so perfect that in the eyes of the public, he has almost no flaws, but a few flaws. On the contrary, he looks more like a human being.

    Hua Fei smiled bitterly!
