Chapter 189 Still coming?
Although the Japanese invaders kept shouting in newspapers that the steel production was several times or dozens of times that of China, the people did not become rich because of the country's steel production. On the contrary, ordinary families on the Japanese on the island did not have a few iron tools or even remote rural areas.
Why is this? Because the steel produced by the Japanese was swallowed up by the two war monsters of the Navy and the Army. Even some wealthy steel raw silk grains and other things had to be exchanged for foreign exchange in the international market for valuable foreign exchange to buy iron ore, rubber, oil, and coal. For this so-called holy war, even the emperor had to do it and save food. The workers and farmers at the bottom of the lower class could only be described as hunger and cold - they would sell their daughter to brothels without having to end the disaster year, which was relatively inferior to the rural living standards in China (although it was not much higher here).
The news of the good news coming from the front did not disappoint the lower-class people who were hungry to support the sacred war. The newspaper advocated that every victory seemed to be coming soon. Well, in the words of the Japanese, it was even more happy to be hungry. Of course, for this happiness, the Japanese family secretly acquired all the newspapers opened by foreigners on their islands and colonies, so that they could only make one sound - the cost of happiness is very high.
What I just felt happy about is that the tax collectors who have resisted the invasion of the country have disappeared after the autumn harvest for thousands of years. Some landlords who collected highland rent secretly returned the excess after learning about the fate of the Kong family in Shandong. No matter how big the landlords are, they can't stand the tens of thousands of people living at home to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep.
The Kong family has been passed down for more than two thousand years and cannot withstand it. Who dares to stab? Some of them were reported and sentenced to huge fines according to the law according to the crime of fraud. The excess was not enough to charge a fraction of the fine and the cost of hiring a lawyer. The so-called wealth does not fight with officials. The local rich man in the countryside is afraid of lawsuits. The previous dynasty government officials paid attention to eating plaintiffs and the defendants. After the Republic, the lawyer system was not much better. The profession of lawyers was also known as a vampire in the West.
At that time, Jin Batian's plan to purchase grain from the private sector was almost bankrupt. The price of imported grain from abroad was cheap and large. The most important thing was that it was very cost-effective to exchange Nanyang military weapons for grain. Even if it was transported to the Shaanxi war zone by railway, the price would not be higher than the local grain price, but it was not convenient to buy grain locally.
Nowadays, several major items that are exported to the outside world are arms, tea, pig bristles, silk (raw and cooked silk are all exported), tung oil. Imported grain, steel and various industrial products are imported. Since there are no large refineries in China, refined oil and chemical products are also imported.
Jin Batian felt that there was nothing wrong with this trading method. Except for the arms provided by himself, the rest were some renewable raw materials, so it was not particularly troublesome to produce. For example, pig bristles are by-products of pork eaten by Chinese people. Pig bristles can be used as brushes, and the status of brushes in modern industry is self-evident - people who have done machining and machine maintenance should have used brushes. But there are not so many pig bristles used as brushes in China. Isn’t it a win-win situation to sell them abroad for foreign exchange?
The tung oil is just the oil squeezed from the fruits of the tung tree. Because tung oil is toxic and cannot be eaten, domestic villages use this tung oil as lamp oil. However, when sold to these industrial countries, they are widely used as construction, machinery, weapons, vehicles, ships, fishing gear, electrical waterproofing, anti-corrosion and anti-rust coatings, and can make oil cloth, oil paper, soap, pesticides, and medical vomiting agents and pesticides. Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been a traditional exporter of tung oil.
Silk and tea, something that has been exported for thousands of years, needless to say.
As for the imported factories, except for grain, steel, industrial products and chemical products, which factory does not pollute the environment, there was no concept of environmental protection in the 1930s. Besides, the current world economic depression has not yet fully recovered, and the major industrial countries in the world are considering the number of factories and the unemployment rate. Now whoever is in the mood to do environmental protection is seeking death.
In Jin Batian's view, using environmentally friendly and renewable industrial raw materials to exchange for non-environmental and non-renewable industrial products. Although the price of raw materials is not as good as that of the product when trading, it is indeed profitable in the long run. The sky is bluer, the water is clearer, and the air is fresher, which is also an improvement in the quality of life - of course, it is a consideration after solving the stomach problem.
Jin Batian has figured it out clearly. From now on, domestic industries can do a little, especially light industries involving people's livelihood. However, if you have your own heavy industry and chemical industry, you don't have to do that much. Your own automation factory system is at least one hundred years ahead of the world's advanced technology, and then you can do it again.
The Japanese withdrew from the battle for the front-line positions. The Central Army was unreasonable and moved the artillery positions forward and began to shell Fuxian and Qingyang City. Originally, the Japanese wanted to fight a medium-sized urban street battle here. This time, they couldn't fight - such heavy artillery bombardment was gone, so how could they fight street battles? The Japanese in the city suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from the city to enter the position.
Now the front line of positions is the Central Army, and the Japanese retreated to the second line of positions hundreds of meters away. There were originally countless traffic trenches connected between the two positions, but they were all blown up in artillery battles and battles. Now the situation is that anyone who charges will be hit by the opponent's machine guns and artillery. After testing it several times, they both became quiet.
Now the front-line soldiers on both sides will be heard by the other party if they speak louder, and there will be flares at night. There will be no sneak attack on the door. If one of the guns goes off, the other side will immediately respond.
It was not that Zhang Zhizhong had thought that he had paid considerable casualties to recover northern Shaanxi, but the tanks and armored vehicles transported to Peking were in intense training. The tanks only supplemented the losses from the previous and during this period (tank assault will definitely become the main target of artillery), and armored vehicles are relatively good things.
This car is not afraid of machine guns and grenade launchers, and its light firepower is also quite fierce. Since there is a better way to reduce casualties and break through the Japanese defense line, Zhang Zhizhong doesn't mind waiting for more tanks and armored vehicles to be transported to the front line after a while - anyway, the Shaanxi Battle has been waiting for a long time.
Anyway, Zhang Zhizhong and Nanjing were not afraid of waiting. In recent days, they could feel that the Japanese were getting poorer and poorer than the Central Army. Today, there is another good news. Pang Bingxun of the 40th Army had somehow sent telegrams to the Nanjing Military and Political Department and the Shaanxi Military Branch to decide to give up the part-time job of the commander of the 39th Division. It would be fine if they gave up a position. Anyway, the officers at all levels below were also Pang Bingxun's people. If the Central Army sent an officer to the 39th Division, it might not be able to control the 39th Division.
But this time, the power of the 40th Army was a joint power supply. The dozens of people above, including dozens of school officials and lieutenants from the 39th Division of the 40th Army, were transferred to the staff department of the 40th Army, and gave up the current position of leading troops as a staff officer. Zhang Zhizhong thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what this staff officer was doing. As the saying goes, the staff officer did not lead the commander, and the fart would not sound. Since the Republic, officers who have military positions led the troops were most taboo to be staff officers, especially those who did not lead the commander.
Zhang Zhizhong saw that the above was sincere, and it was not like a trick of retreating to advance. If he played retreating to advance, he would not want to be a staff officer, but should jointly resign and give up his military post and no longer be responsible for local defense. Everyone has understood this set since the Republic, and it is impossible for Pang Cruzi and the others to understand it.
In order to investigate this matter, Zhang Zhizhong also looked through the recent work of the 39th Division. Isn’t it just a transportation team? Is it because I want to pile up picks or something? Zhang Zhizhong couldn’t figure it out for a while, and finally called Jin Batian, the leader of the artillery regiment, who was responsible for Pang Bingxun’s main business object.
Because of this battle, Jin Batian almost forgot about this matter. After receiving a call from Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the Third War Zone, he remembered and said to Zhang Zhizhong: "Oh, it's nothing. Lao Pang and I hit it off at first sight. Well, I gave Lao Pang some money to buy out their army. After the war, this group of people will probably go home to live. Don't worry, um. That's it, I'm dead."
"So that's it." Zhang Zhizhong, who called, understood what was going on. It turned out that the Silver Yuan tactics were made. Speaking of which, the principal used this trick to achieve perfection, but you would say it.
Since you understand what's going on, it's easy to deal with it. A deputy brigade commander who made contributions some time ago was transferred from the First Army to two levels to take over the 39th Division. If you are transferred from the Central Army or promoted to another level, it is not an promotion or a demotion for these masters in the reorganized division. Even if the 39th Division will at least be organized into a reorganized trainer in the future, you have to be promoted to two levels and transfer personnel. A group of company platoon leaders were transferred from the 71st Army to two or three levels to defeat those who are advisers.
There are all carrots and pits in the army. When they left, it is also appropriate for those who have made contributions to the top.
However, the 39th Division is now a member of the Central Army, so it cannot be the task of the transport team. Now the biggest task of the 39th Division is to train troops and change clothes. However, the artillery regiment cannot be missing the transport team. Zhang Zhizhong waved his pen and transferred Guo Xunqi's unit of the 144th Division of the 50th Army under the command of the 23rd Army to be responsible for the ammunition transportation of the artillery regiment.
After doing this, Zhang Zhizhong called Jin Batian to encourage him. Although it was equivalent to saying nothing, Jin Batian could still understand the word Zhang Zhizhong, the education director, said on the phone.
Come still? What a joke, money is a trivial matter. But Guo Xunqi is not Pang Bingxun, who has no background and no background. Guo Xunqi also has the commander of the 50th Army Pan Wenhua and commander of the 23rd Army Liu Xiang. It is a great hatred for being so blatant to dig the warlords.
I hate people who give ideas to others to take over the job the most.
