The world economic crisis, the conflict between the Netherlands, Japan and Indonesia... The 1929 of this world was really not peaceful at all.

All things will not be completed in an instant. It takes a long time for everything from outbreak to expansion. Japan's several provocations, after being obstructed by China, prompted the UK to maintain China and Japan in name.

Instead of supporting the Netherlands.

For the UK, it is obviously not as important to curb China as maintaining the balance of power in the European continent. The problem is that Britain is now too busy to take care of itself and has no ability to care about the affairs in the Pacific. After all, Japan is still its friend, so it is always better to let Indonesia fall into Japan's hands.

It was occupied by China.

Gu Weijun, who is in Europe, sees this clearly cleverly and accurately, and quickly chooses to constantly induce the British and Dutch to get into evil, and actively provide loans to help the Netherlands sell pounds to increase its holdings of Chinese Yuan and Francs. Under Gu Weijun's persuasion, the French Far East Fleet was also

The visit to Brunei created the illusion that China and France joined forces to curb Britain and Japan in the waters of South China.

In China.

Unlike the Great Depression of the world economy, China is carrying out an unprecedented large-scale construction of infrastructure in the country. This is an unprecedented large-scale plan. In the year 1930 alone, the central government and provincial governments at all levels will

4 billion yuan will be invested in national infrastructure construction.

On the premise that other expenses cannot save too much, the central government’s fiscal budget does not support such large-scale construction. The only way is to print money significantly and purchase treasury bonds, relying on the central bank’s direct credit support to promote the development of infrastructure.

It doesn’t matter. After saving so many years, China is also the only country in the world that can continue to make large-scale banknotes.

The logic of Keynesianism is very simple. When the country's economic situation is good, the government needs to shrink its fiscal surplus. When the economic situation is bad, the government needs to expand its fiscal surplus. Although Keynesianism has not yet become popular during this period, the empire has already

Such economic policies have been adopted.

In the spring of this year, Emperor Song, accompanied by Chen Qimei, Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources, visited Liujiaxia Hydropower Station. This will be the largest hydropower station in Asia with an installed capacity of more than 1.22 million KW, and is also the largest hydropower station project in the world.

In the past twenty years, the empire had built more than 200 small and medium-sized hydropower stations across the country, the most famous of which are the Songhua River Hydropower Station in the Northeast and Yalu River Hydropower Station. The Northeast is where China's hydropower project was opened, and it is

During the new policy period of the three eastern provinces, small hydropower station projects were already explored.

Northeast Electric Power Engineering Company and Far East Construction Engineering Corporation are the pearl companies of the two major water conservancy construction in the Empire. By absorbing the best engineers from Russia, Germany, France and the United States, as well as the long-term cultivation of local talents and the long-term rich engineering exploration for many years, the Empire is in

The field of water conservancy and power station construction has already reached the world's most advanced level, especially in the fields of hydropower station equipment, special cement, special steel, high-voltage power grid, relay protection, etc.

Liujiaxia Hydropower Station Project is general contracted by Northeast Electric Corporation. The investors are the Central State Investment Bank, China International Trust and Investment Company and Far East Electric Power Energy Company each pay one-third of the equity, and are jointly owned by Agricultural Bank of China, Far East Bank, and China Postal Savings.

The bank provides a special loan of approximately RMB 70 million.

Before the construction of the Liujiaxia Hydropower Station project, Far East Power Company had invested 68 million yuan in the Sanwu Plan to build the Yanguoxia Hydropower Station, which has accumulated important basic experience for the construction of the larger Liujiaxia Hydropower Station and built a water conservancy project in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Regulating hydraulic power is the long-term policy of the empire to govern the Yellow River, and Yanguoxia is the first step in launching this major plan.

Accompanied by Chen Qimei and others, Song Biao first visited the Yanguoxia Hydropower Station, which had been connected to the grid to generate electricity. Then he arrived at the Liujiaxia construction site by boat. The mountains on both sides of the steep Grand Gorge are towering. It is early spring, on the stretching mountains.

It is still covered with snow, and the river bank is also a world of ice and snow.

The noon sunlight shone on the water, and the river mixed with countless broken ice rushes away, impacting on both sides of the bow.

Song Biao, wearing a dark blue wool coat and black red deer military boots, stood on the bow, holding a black staff inlaid with hundreds of small sapphires in the royal family Han Sanlong ball pattern badge pattern

The gilded Benxi saber was still hanging around her waist and was wearing a white sheep fur and a high tube hat.

No matter how the times change, he seems to be the officer who came out of the Hunjiang River in the northeast.

Even though the empire defeated the Soviet Union and adopted a hostile stance to the Soviet Union in culture and thought, just like the influence of the Northeast System, the Tsarist Russian Empire, as the Northeast System's army, many of the material and spirit of the ancient empire that passed away were in the Far East.

inherited and absorbed by the new empire.

No matter how the empire changes, it is an irreversible fact that Tsarist Russian Empire, which was once mastered by the already destroyed. Until today, whether it is Benxi's saber, the current military uniform of the empire, or in other fields, you can still see the chauvinism trend of Tsarist Russia.

Influence.

Whether it is a disciple of Russia or Germany, the empire also pursues admiration for a martial country, so that today, the imperialists still have a disdainful contempt for the allied country France.

When the empire always inadvertently remembers the Tsarist Russian Empire, which once dominated the Eurasian continent and was greedy and militaristic, it is unknown whether it means that the empire's desire to become the next new empire that dominated the Eurasian continent deep in its heart.

Just as the Tsarist Russian Empire commemorates and worships the Eastern Roman Empire and the Golden Horde, it commemorates the glory and magnificence of the past, and inherits the fearless pioneering spirit.

On the vast territory of 19 million square kilometers, Emperor Song was riding on a light boat, looking ahead from a distance, and undercurrents surged deep in his calm heart.

Forty know the destiny of heaven.

During the age of 45, Emperor Song gradually squandered the last remaining ray of youth, becoming more arrogant, hard and indifferent. He began to understand more and let go of many things.

Therefore, after Japan's middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers took the initiative to provoke the Seoul incident, although he ordered the troops stationed in North Korea to give a severe and rapid blow, he did not expand the incident.

Neither China nor Japan reported this, as if the conflict had not happened. Japan refused to apologize, but sent an official from the Zhihua faction to try to solve the problem by private apology. Even so, Song Biao did not pursue the matter.

Go down.

At such an age, Song Biao has become more and more clear about what a real "little unbearable means a big plan."

He could also say that he suddenly realized that with the foundation of China today, there is no need to make a profit to destroy his historical opportunity to compete with Japan. What an important opportunity for the Great Depression of the World is for China, which is rare in a century.

Once you encounter this opportunity, you will seize this opportunity and become the largest country with the largest economic output in the world.

As for Japan, Japan is now just a slap in the jar, and there is not enough domestic demand market to save itself.

When so many major project plans in China are in front of me, Song Biao felt that competing with Japan was the most boring thing. As long as China seizes this once-in-a-century historical opportunity, it will be easy to deal with Japan in the future.

Liujiaxia Hydropower Station is definitely not China's largest hydropower project. At this level, China's hydraulic resources are sufficient to build dozens of them. Japan can say that there is not one. Even so, Japan can be regarded as a rich water resource in the world.

By comparing the country, we can see how powerful China's hydraulic resources are.

China has come here, and the Chinese have come here, and there is no reason why China is not the world hegemon.

Song Biao took a boat to the river and looked at the construction site in front of him and the scaffolding group that was 100 meters high. He felt infinitely moved that the dam would be 145 meters high and 212 meters wide, although it was Hofo who was about to start construction.

The dams are far apart, but they are already well-deserved first in Asia.

What Song Biao saw in his eyes was Liujiaxia, and what he was thinking about was more large hydropower stations. The ten-year comprehensive inspection in the Jinsha River Basin has basically ended. Four world-class super-large hydropower station projects with a scale far exceeding the Liujiaxia Hydropower Station were all

The project has been officially established and a new round of research has entered. It is expected that the first two will start construction in 1931. The remaining two are too large, and the impact of the earthquake and in-depth mapping and research must be considered. It may not be officially completed until around 1940.

start.

Research on the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is also underway. Compared with the Jinsha River, the risk is actually relatively small. The key is that the natural environment may have a greater impact and the construction difficulty is indeed too great.

One of the important reasons why the Empire wanted to vigorously build hydropower projects is that water and electricity are cheap. Especially the hydropower stations in the Jinsha River and the upper reaches of the Yellow River are located in areas with less local electricity demand, which allows the Empire to draw enough electricity for electrolysis.

Pump heavy water.

With heavy water, uranium 235, uranium 238 and nuclear fission reactions successively discovered in domestic nuclear physics research, the empire has now met the conditions to launch a nuclear weapon research project, and has begun the theoretical field and preliminary research work.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has not announced the nuclear fission reaction to the public, and the relevant research office has been transferred to the Bureau of Secretariat to be directly responsible.

Liujiaxia Hydropower and the Longyangxia and Lijiaxia Hydropower Station built at the same time have a very important responsibility to extract heavy water using the water and electricity abundance stage. The Empire's Heavy Water Engineering Research Bureau is located in Lanzhou, while the Nuclear Physics Engineering Research Institute is located in Hanzhong.

The Aerospace Engineering Research Institute is located in Beijing, Shenyang, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Guangzhou and other places, with its headquarters in Beijing. It has completed the development of the first ramjet engine, and the Shenyang Aerospace Engineering Research Institute has completed the theoretical work of the turbojet engine.

Entering the third phase of the experiment.

Among these large amount of research work, the Far East Consortium is a very important partner. The Far East Weapons Corporation is reorganized into China Great Wall Heavy Industry Corporation and has been secretly promoting the development of ramming and turbojet engines. The Far East Consortium's Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company is also

Participated in the entire research work, and cooperated with the research institutes directly under the central government in the 201 project, jointly contributed to the investment, and shared technical patents and production.

According to the current trend and progress, Song Biao predicts that the empire will be able to develop the first nuclear weapon before 1940. Considering that each research room has some special information, it will develop directly from an implosion-like development at the beginning, and it is likely that it will be

The first atomic bomb will be developed around 1938.

The first-generation missiles can basically appear in 1933, and the first-generation medium-range missiles can be launched in about 45 years, and the first-generation medium-range ballistic missiles can be basically completed in about 50 years.

So the top secret project of the 201 project, especially the 201S series, is still very terrifying.

Theoretical things are easier to do, such as turbojet engines. Germany had related theoretical concepts in the 1920s. The empire is currently developing in the two theoretical fields of turbojet and turbofan, and most of them are still in theoretical calculations.

There are also experimental things in the field. If you really want to make finished products and consider industrial production, this cycle is very long. It is difficult to do very well without ten years, especially the turbofan engine, which takes twenty years.

It is normal to gradually explore and research the cycle.

In fact, the current industrial level and talent accumulation of the empire are much more powerful than the Republic's 1st and 2nd Five-Year Plan periods. It was only during the Republic's 1st and 5th Five-Year Plan period that it began to study cannon steel in Yunnan and Angang. At that time, it was basically the Soviet Union to provide technology, so we followed this process diagram ourselves.

In the trial production, the 15th Ball Steel is still very simple nickel steel. At that time, there were two difficult problems to break through, namely nickel smelting and smelting. During the 15th period, we could not even produce nickel, let alone how to smel nickel steel.

.

These technologies and production experiences were actually broken through in the late 19th century, especially in the 20th century, and developed very quickly.

The Empire seemed very relaxed in these fields. In the Northeast period, it solved the process problems of nickel steel and cannon steel through cooperation with Russia and Germany. During the 201 project, the Empire also completed the catalytic process of nickel rotary electric furnaces within the Far East Steel Corporation.

, currently, they are still ahead of the world, with the same purity, but domestic production processes have lower costs and higher utilization rates.

The current production process of the empire's cannon steel is already a world-class leading level. In Song Biao's view, it is basically the same as the 1970s in the Republic period. This comparison shows that the empire's level in basic heavy industry, especially metallurgy.

.

The Empire 201 project started a new microcrystalline steel process research in 1925. This thing is simple and simple. Microcrystalline steel must adopt inert gas protection and ultra-high pressure cold rolling during the cold rolling process. This high pressure is normal.

Only by more than five times can the steel enter the crystalline level.

To do this research, the empire must first meet two conditions: one is a 25,000-ton vertical cold rolling mill, and the other is an electron microscope, one large and one small, and one missing is impossible to study the entire microcrystalline steel system.

After the 1970s, the world's aircraft carriers and submarine mainstream steels belong to the fields of microcrystalline steel and quasmicrocrystalline steel. These steels will not rust or need to be demagnetized for 20 years. The Republic is a great era of planned economy, although there were

This research foundation has not been done yet. Later, I towed the aircraft carrier back and found that these things were missing, so I started to develop them temporarily.

In fact, some companies in Europe and the United States basically engaged in research on quasimicrocrystalline steel in the 1940s, and began to be widely used in the 1960s.

There are many details that can be seen. The 054A bow anchor is easy to rust, and there are often a large rust spots. Modern-class destroyers are at the same level in my country, and rust cannot be seen at the same location. trace.

Since the implementation of the 201 project, there have been more than 4,000 technical catch-up projects nationwide. At present, there are 72 major projects under pre-research and catching up with Europe and the United States, involving more than 600 sub-projects.
