After two rounds of fierce competition, the Sino-Italian cooperation plan successfully defeated the United States and Britain and became the big winner of Chile's next-generation battleship. When the good news was announced, everyone in the delegation laughed like children. These days they After exhausting their efforts, they completed an almost impossible task. When victory finally came, everyone felt like they were dreaming. We won, we won! ??Everyone can¡¯t help shouting in their hearts that the Chinese can really defeat their powerful opponents and win this super order worth 45 million yuan. Unlike Siam, a country that has been dominated by China for many years, Chile is far away and was won entirely by strength. This is not only a large amount of income, but also means that China has entered the high-end arms market from now on, and not many countries can enter this market. Even Japan can't succeed. Of course, it doesn't mean that Japan's technology is not good, but that they don't have the courage to seize food from the tiger's mouth. ¡°That¡¯s the thing, if you don¡¯t fight, it¡¯s not yours. When I heard the news that the Chinese delegation won, the most angry person was Panasonic Rongqing. This guy was furious. It was unbearable for him that such a big piece of fat fell into the hands of China. Just when he was sulking, he saw the Chinese delegation returning happily. Everyone smelled of alcohol and were accompanied by a group of blondes, which made people jealous. "Hmph, don't get too proud too early. If the warships produced by some people cannot float at all in the end and become living coffins on the sea, I'm afraid they will become the laughing stock of the world." "Thank you for your concern. China People feel confident in building a first-class warship. And I also tell you that even if we fail, we can still mortgage the Changbai Mountain to Chile, which will definitely not delay the customer's formation of the army. " Chen Jing sneered. : "I seem to have forgotten that Changbaishan was once called Kirishima. If your country could send Nagato and Mutsu over, we would be even happier." This sentence touched the sore spot of the Japanese. Matsushita Sakae Qing waited for a pair of rat eyes, as if he wanted to eat people. Chen Jing and the others were nonchalant. This success had given them enough confidence. ?????????? Actually, it¡¯s not just them. Even in China, they were very excited. When Zhang Tinglan first made this decision, almost no one could believe that the Chinese had the ability to snatch this order from the tiger's mouth. Even Wu Yulin and the others had the mentality of giving it a try. When the news of being selected came back, China immediately became excited. Major newspapers rushed to report it. This is a milestone in China's military industry and also a milestone in China's international status. Being able to defeat the United States and Britain in the field of arms sales undoubtedly means that China has become one of the top countries in the world. Every Chinese can pat their chests and say that we are also a great power! Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. After his success, he immediately sent a telegram to Mussolini. China's ability to get orders is inseparable from Italy's help. Although Zhang Tinglan looked down on Mussolini, who was a master and a weak figure, before the war started, Italy was still one of the top four in Europe. Be on good terms with Italy and the two countries cooperate with each other. It is also a constraint for the United States and Britain. As for Mussolini, he was even more arrogant and proud. Since opening the Chinese market, Italy's economic development has entered the fast lane. His position became more and more stable, and the rule of the Fascist Party was completely established. After successfully seizing the order this time, Mussolini made a public speech, saying that this was a great victory for Italy-China cooperation and that the two countries would carry out more cooperation in the future. However, compared to everyone¡¯s optimism, Jiang Baili was not very optimistic. He directly found Zhang Tinglan. "My humble opinion is that the Americans have long shouted that America belongs to the United States. I am afraid they will not let us get involved so easily. Even if the bidding is successful, they can still destroy it. I think we should not rush to fulfill the promise and observe first. "Brother Baili, your worries are absolutely correct, but I am determined to win the South American market. The United States will definitely not give up, but we still have to see if God will give them this opportunity!" The unprecedented Great Depression is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Tinglan is becoming more and more confident. In fact, in previous economic crises, the stronger the government's control, on the contrary, not only will it not be hurt, but it can also rise against the trend. As the saying goes, this news In addition, China also wants to expand its influence. Although it is not yet possible to delineate the sphere of influence, extending the economic tentacles and binding as many countries as possible has gradually been included in Zhang Tinglan's calculations. As strength increases, people's ambitions will expand. At first, Zhang Tinglan was just thinking about self-preservation. After unifying the country, Zhang Tinglan was just thinking about recuperating and keeping a low profile. Wait untilAfter World War II, China followed the trend and became a world power. But as China¡¯s industrialization progresses, Zhang Tinglan increasingly feels that there is something wrong with this most reliable method. The biggest problem lies in China's size, which is more than 500 million people. Within 20 years, the population will reach at least 800 million, or even more. China¡¯s size is almost equal to that of all developed countries combined. How much resources and energy such a country needs are astronomical figures. ¡°After a certain period of time, the resources that the world can provide are quite limited. If we sit back and watch Europe and the United States eat the fattest piece, China¡¯s industrial process will be delayed. ? ? Developing industry is something that cannot wait. The sooner it is completed, the less dangerous it will be and the lower the cost will be. Otherwise, if it drags on, China may fall into the trap of Latin Americanization and never be able to climb out. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Tinglan is so interested in Chile. Time waits for no one. Even if he does not want to fight, he must fight for it. "Brother Baili, you said that if the economy suddenly collapses, foreign trade of various countries almost comes to a standstill, factories close, workers lose their jobs, and production stops, what do you think the world will be like?" "Ah?" Jiang Baili was also frightened by the situation described by Zhang Tinglan. He jumped and said hurriedly: "If this is the case, I think the world will be full of wars." Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "That's right. Brother Baili, according to observation, there is a serious bubble in the U.S. economy, which may burst at any time. The United States is the largest economic power and the largest trading nation. Once the United States collapses, the impact on the world will be fatal. " "I wonder, since it is so powerful, do we have any countermeasures?" " Brother Baili, the so-called economic crisis is caused by blindness and overcapacity. We still have huge market potential, and with the effective guidance of the government, this crisis will not only not hurt us, but will also provide China with an unprecedented opportunity. . We can safely and boldly absorb advanced technologies from various countries, and it can be said that the industry will usher in unprecedented development. " "That's great," Jiang Baili said with a smile, "I can't believe that your predictions have failed in all these years. I hope I can be right this time. If China is strong, it will dominate the world. If it is weak, it will become a place of four wars, with opponents everywhere. " "Yes, although Russia is newly defeated, Japan is. It is still at hand, especially Taiwan. This island is too important. Only by taking Taiwan can we have a base to enter the Pacific. In addition to Taiwan, it is best to take Ryukyu so that the door will be completely opened. "These two places are the lifeblood of the Japanese and they want to take them. We have to fight Japan desperately. I think the opportunity is not ripe yet. "Jiang Baili said: "There have been calls in China to regain Taiwan, and many senior military officers are gearing up and eager to try. " When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he also smiled helplessly. Continuous victories in foreign wars have made some generals become arrogant and all of them are militants. Zhang Tinglan cannot directly suppress this enthusiasm, but if he just follows their lead Meaning, something bad will happen sooner or later. So Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Since they are gearing up, let them lead troops into the plateau, and it should be solved here. ¡± As a unified country, Zhang Tinglan certainly cannot allow the backward slavery system to still exist in some areas, such as Yunnan and other places, where all the chieftains have been completely eliminated with the advancement of land reform. Without these people , the government's authority has also increased unprecedentedly, and its ability to control local areas has also increased exponentially. However, there is only one thing: there are some troubles in the plateau area, and Zhang Tinglan has not acted rashly. Now that the northern Xinjiang has been completely stabilized, the southwest has also reached a point where it must be solved. At that time, especially when the roads in Yunnan-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet, Xinjiang and other places were opened, it would not be so troublesome to send troops to the plateau. This most stubborn fortress finally had to be solved. Zhang Tinglan's attitude was very clear. , the backward serfdom system must be cleaned up, education must be vigorously promoted, and customs must be changed. "I would like to say that the plateau is not really a military issue. During the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Erfeng and his army were able to solve the rebellion, not to mention that we are so powerful now. armed. It's just that this is a war of hearts. It may not be that easy to declare war on thousands of years of tradition. " "Yes, but the more difficult it is, the more beautiful it must be solved. " "Since Zhu Yan's determination has been made, there is nothing more to say. We promise to complete the task. ¡± ¡ After Zhang Tinglan laid out the task, solving the plateau problem is a very huge project. Military is only one part of it. There is still a lot of other work to be done. The first thing to do is to fight for public opinion and rob. The moral high ground.Under the instruction of Zhang Tinglan, the Propaganda Department published a large number of stories on the plateau, truthfully introducing the suffering of the lower-class serfs. When the Chinese people heard that human sacrifices were still being used in this era, they were all shocked. No one would have thought that something that had only been mentioned in history books could still happen in this vast country. This is simply amazing. Challenging human conscience. The various instruments of torture were displayed, and some escaped low-level serfs even narrated their experiences, making public opinion even more heated. Life is so cheap, and it is simply unforgivable that those monks who chant the Buddha's name can forget the doctrine of equality of all living beings, treat millions of people as slaves, and kill them at will. Therefore, public opinion strongly demands that the government must take action to change the situation on the plateau, and some non-governmental organizations have even been established. They sent volunteers into the plateau to witness the conditions on the plateau and find a way out for the people there. Under the pressure of "public opinion", Zhang Tinglan also sent an investigation team into Sichuan. Although it is called a group, there are not many people at all, with hundreds of people. In addition, three divisions of troops have been mobilized from neighboring areas, ready to move into the plateau at any time. The team leader fell on Yan Xishan, and the deputy team leader was Chen Jiongming. After they arrived in Chengdu, they first sent out an invitation, hoping that all religious leaders and noble leaders from the plateau could gather in the capital to discuss issues and find a suitable solution. s solution. In fact, since the public uproar, the plateau has also been shocked three times a day. They don't know how powerful the National Defense Force is, but no one is naive enough to think that they can fight against the central government. Now the public opinion is very unfavorable to them. These people are frightened and restless. After receiving the invitation from Yan Xishan, the smart ones came immediately. Finally, hundreds of people gathered in Chengdu one after another. Some people wanted to resist, so they pretended to be unwell and did not come. Yan Xishan¡¯s trick is both to lure the tiger away from the mountain and to cast stones to ask for directions. Those who can come show that they still have a center in their eyes and can be reformed. There is no need to kill them with a stick. Those who refuse to come will only die. "Everyone, some things are like vaccination for children. No matter how much the child cries, he can't escape. Therefore, smart children will pretend to be brave and end it as soon as possible, so that they can still get candy from their parents. . But some stupid children just cry loudly, which makes the parents impatient. In the end, they still have to get a shot, and they are tortured enough and still get nothing. Here, I hope everyone can. Be a smart person and don't mislead others!" Just when Yan Xishan said this, the three divisions of troops had already moved into the plateau. Weapons were surrendered, serfs were registered, and pastures were inventoried. A large number of civil servants, under the protection of the army, carried out meticulous work. Of course, many people are dissatisfied with these mainland officials. They organized thugs, gathered people, and wanted to resist, but the army was not there to watch. As long as there is a slight disturbance, the army will immediately take action. The person who took the lead in making trouble was killed, and the others were all used as coolies and sent to the northwest and other places. As the plateau gradually became clearer, the action of dividing the fields began. The serfs who were at the bottom of the pile in the past finally regained their freedom and got their land. The owner¡¯s property was divided equally. They wore new clothes and shoes for the first time. They had formal ID cards and land ownership certificates for the first time. This feeling is like rising from the lowest level of hell to heaven. In an instant, many people consciously placed the army and even Zhang Tinglan's portrait in the shrine, replacing the former gods.
