Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

(Thanks to book friends Tian Cangye and highschool for the tip^_^)

"With just talents and without machinery and equipment, industry cannot develop. The road to the Soviet Union has not yet been opened. Even if it is connected, people may not be willing to support us. After all, the Soviet Union is also undergoing great construction now, so we plan to go to

Buy in Western countries. But we lack a detailed understanding of the current Western countries. If we rashly go abroad with the foreign exchange saved by tightening our belts, but fail to buy the equipment we want because we are unfamiliar with the place, then

Even if you die, you will not be able to atone for your sin. Mr. Snow, you reporters have a wide network of contacts. If possible, can you provide us with some relevant information? For example, what are the major companies that invested in the Soviet Union or exported technical equipment to it?

And what are the companies in the West that are bankrupt, waiting for acquisition, or on the verge of bankruptcy?" Hu Weidong said sincerely.

After hearing this, Snow put forward his opinion bluntly, "During the Great Depression, most of the really powerful large companies were not greatly affected. On the contrary, they were often able to acquire small and medium-sized companies at low prices and further increase their market share. Go to

The Western companies invested by the Soviet Union are generally not large in scale, and there are far more transfers of technology and equipment. However, now that the U.S. economy has begun to recover, there are very few willing to go. And IMHO, given China's current economic development level

, we shouldn’t be too ambitious. Even a medium-sized company in the United States will be considered a large company in China. There is no need to cooperate with large companies.”

"You are right, but our base area is still surrounded from all sides. Only with the help of tiger skins from world-class companies can we transport the purchased machinery and equipment across thousands of miles of white areas to our base area.",

Hu Weidong spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Indeed, it seems that I thought too simply." Snow pondered for a while, and finally replied helplessly, "There is no way, after all, I have not done any special investigation in this area. In my memory, the investment in the Soviet Union was huge.

The only company is Ford (actually there are more, but Ford has the largest investment), and there is also Armon Hammer, who made a fortune in the Soviet Union..."

"Amon Hamer is a recognized red capitalist. It may be easier to do business with him, but Chiang Kai-shek may not dare to do business with him. After all, his image as a left-winger is well known to everyone, and he is not very popular in the West at present.

The big influence is just money. I'd better try the Ford line first. In fact, I also want to meet the real great man, Old Ford..." Hu Weidong secretly had a calculation in his heart.

Snow agreed to all Hu Weidong's requests. Although he only returned to China occasionally now, he was a well-known journalist after all and graduated from a prestigious school. He still had many friends, teachers and classmates with a certain amount of energy. In order to be loyal, he

Snow also specially asked his wife Helen to return to China for coordination. These tasks naturally cleared the way for Hu Weidong and others to later visit the United States. In addition, Mao Zemin, who stayed in Luoyang during this period, once again displayed his diplomatic talents and cooperated with the Chairman of the Kuomintang Henan Province.

Shang Zhen reached a secret agreement. Shang Zhen agreed to allow the Red Party members to move freely in Henan Province without disclosing their true identities, and at the same time secretly restored railway transportation between Zhengzhou and Luoyang (only at night), while the Red Party members

It was guaranteed that as long as Shang Zhen was still in office as Chairman of Henan Province, the Red Army would not take the initiative to launch attacks on Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places under its jurisdiction, and the import and export of materials in the Soviet area would also bring certain losses to Shang Zhen's Henan Provincial Government.

Taxation. With the vigorous development of the Luoyang Industrial Zone, Zhengzhou, which was already the most important transportation hub in the Central Plains, prospered rapidly and became almost the only transfer point for raw materials and commodities. In just a few years, it became a

The county town has developed into a large city with a population of more than 300,000. Although it is not enough to completely change the entire Henan Province with a population of more than 30 million and frequent disasters, it is not a bad thing for the provincial government to have money in its hands, even if the central government continues to

If the corpses are left alone, the provincial government can also contribute its own efforts to fulfill some of its disaster relief responsibilities...

After capturing Tianjin, Hu Weidong once made the worst plan, that is, the National Army and the Japanese army would attack together. However, after waiting for several days, there was no movement from the National Army and the Japanese army...

It turned out that Zhang Zizhong of Chahar had received orders from Song Zheyuan and was about to go south to recapture Tianjin from the Japanese army. However, he soon learned that the Eighth Army of the Red Army had taken advantage of the opportunity and captured Tianjin.

Ordering his subordinates to stop advancing, the brilliant achievements of the Eighth Red Army in the previous year, no matter how hard Chiang tried to hide them, could not be concealed at least within the Kuomintang. After all, so many "famous generals" were killed there. Zhang Zizhong, as a subordinate of Song Zheyuan,

The chief general naturally knows something about the Eighth Red Army, and he knows that even the entire 29th Army is no match for the Eighth Red Army, let alone his 38th Division, which only has more than 30,000 people?

Although Zhang Zizhong has a strong temper, he will not let his subordinates die needlessly. After all, the Red Army is not a foreign enemy like the Japanese army. Although the Eighth Red Army captured Tianjin, it was a peach, but after entering the city, it immediately took back the Japanese concession and inspected the Japanese and puppet assets.

He actually admired and secretly envied Zhang Zizhong since he had done the "big happy thing" that Zhang Zizhong wanted to do but could not put it into practice due to his status. The call of the Red Party to establish an anti-Japanese national united front also had a great influence on Zhang Zizhong.

He was greatly touched, so he was emotionally unwilling to fight with the Eighth Red Army. In addition, his boss Song Zheyuan was not a reckless man. After hearing that the Eighth Red Army had occupied Tianjin, he immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Zizhong to return to Chahar.

Zhang Zizhong was happy to obey...

As for Japan, Hu Weidong originally thought that they would invade in large numbers soon, but in fact it was the puppet troops who attacked first. This was partly because the Japanese military lacked preparation for the Red Army's sudden advance into North China, and it was difficult to attack them in a short period of time.

On the other hand, it is because of the deep inferiority complex of the Japanese hidden behind the mask of arrogance that they are often bold and bold before they suffer losses. Historically, one brigade dared to defeat a single member of the National Army.

Division fighting is a very typical example. Once they suffer a loss, they will often go to the other extreme, that is, they will subconsciously overestimate the opponent's strength. They will not dare to act rashly until the intelligence department finds out the truth.

It's just that the Red Army's ability to fight against special forces is much stronger than that of the national army. Even a great spy like Kenji Doihara could not penetrate into Tianjin in a short period of time and obtain accurate information on the combat strength of the Eighth Red Army, lest the Emperor

The anger fell on himself, and the helpless Doihara Kenji had to target the tens of thousands of puppet troops outside Pingjin, hoping to use them as cannon fodder to test the true strength of the Eighth Red Army...
