Back to the intelligence bureau, the intelligence personnel are still busy, from the periphery to probe and direct search under the premise that there is no better way, especially there are no new personnel, some people suggested, is it not to expand the scope, divergent think about it, to see if it can find another way, at this time, Yang Yuanzhao came back, did not say a word, directly ordered, investigate the movement abroad, especially the United States, and not the news of the resignation of the personnel, but at the national level and the government level in the United States, to see if there are any tendencies.

The United States, this was more or less out of Shi Lei's expectations, but he did not hesitate at all, and did what Yang Yuanzhao said.

Fortunately, radio can contact the world, and soon, radio waves are sent to the other side of the world, the intelligence bureau is now a huge organization, there are dispatched agencies all over the world, these agencies can receive radio 24 hours a day, and after receiving the order, the intelligence bureau of the United States began to act.

Quietly waiting, a day has passed, including Liu Shu and other high-level know the situation, the development of the northwest, on the one hand, is a coincidence, on the other hand, is indeed the role of the power of science and technology, in the past days, the northwest has always attached importance to science and technology, faster, more efficient machine tools, can produce cheaper goods, this, is proven by the facts.

Science and technology is the primary productive force, this slogan once put forward by Deng Gong, is still put forward by Yang Yuanzhao in the northwest, the research atmosphere in the northwest, the ability to study technological innovation and machines. It's all remarkable, even for ordinary workers. The Northwest also passed more than 700,000 technological innovations throughout the year, of which about 1% were passed. It can be promoted in the whole industry, and even in the whole system, and these alone have promoted the industrial progress of the Northwest, and some unique things have begun to form gradually.

The news has not come back yet, and Yang Yuanzhao has already determined in his heart that it is a conspiracy led by Britain, France and the United States against the northwest, and the reason is the previous plenary meeting. The great powers are still quite wary of China, even if they do not surpass them, even if there are only signs of rising, they react so quickly, and it is a loss that the northwest did not make a big deal of fanfare before, and they have done a certain amount of cover up for the current data, otherwise, it will be really troublesome.

It is precisely because of the efforts made by the Northwest that the great powers launched the time. A little later, if we say 5 years or even 3 years in the morning, the blow to the northwest is a bit too big. Foreigners were the main mainstay at the time, although those foreigners were ordinary engineers, in cutting-edge projects. Maybe the strength is not good, but help the northwest to establish a complete set of industrial system. It's really not possible without them.

After several years of development, now a new generation of researchers in the Northwest. Basically, they all grew up in the research institute, through doing experiments while supplementing professional knowledge, one or two years may not be as good as the major, but after five or six years, each is skilled, some talented can even replace the work of foreigners, in the key laboratory, Chinese basically occupy 95%. In the average laboratory, it is more than 60%.

These practices of the great powers, in addition to reducing the speed of research in the northwest for a certain period of time, will have a very small impact, and even for key laboratories, the impact is almost negligible.

While Yang Yuanzhao was a little relieved, he also mentioned in his heart that the great powers could not be so simple, there must be other methods, and they must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be the same problem as now.

About 3 days or so, that is, the plenary session has reached a certain level, and when it is about to end, another side of the information comes back, the US Congress has passed a special fund, which is about 300 million US dollars, but the investment of this fund is very vague, just to say that career support funds, there are indications that some of those who have come back from the Northwest have something to do with this fund.

The fact is already obvious, that is, the behavior of the government, more than 10,000 engineers and researchers, each salary is quite high, if you maintain the same salary as the northwest, and also conduct some research, 300 million may not be enough.

Knowing who the opponent is, this puts half of my heart down, and then how to deal with it, how to retain people, or in other words, how to reduce losses under the premise of not keeping people, at this time, the US Intelligence Agency Branch, there is another news, the US Congress, recently passed a bill to restrict foreign imports of 52 kinds of products.

It stands to reason that this is a very normal thing, and even the US Intelligence Agency was promulgated at the same time as the previous one, but after the trade frictions of later generations, countries have sacrificed the experience of the anti-dumping banner because of trade frictions, Yang Yuanzhao intuitively believes that it is part of the combination of punches, and sure enough, when the list arrives, basically, they are all best-selling products in the northwest abroad, of course, some very important and irreplaceable products are not on the list, these products, most of them do not have much technical content, It's just that products with lower prices are easy to be replaced, and once imports are blocked, the market is someone else's every minute.

This is no less than the previous move, and the power is even higher than the previous one. In the statistical laboratory in the northwest, it is almost brightly lit, and all the statisticians, all of whom are not pulled, began to count the impact, Yang Yuanzhao is very clear, this is a combination of punches, and the transfer of researchers is one thing, it is estimated that the great powers have miscalculated the scientific research strength of the northwest, and think that the achievements of the northwest may be completed with the help of foreign researchers.

It is true that in the past few years, these foreign researchers have helped the Northwest a lot, but now, with the growth of their apprentices and research assistants, coupled with the students systematically cultivated in the Northwest, step by step through two, three, or even four years of study, out of the university classroom, there are also some foreign students, these people have become the leader of research, the Northwest has caught up with the world average in basic learning and scientific research, and is no longer the original country that does not attach importance to scientific research and science.

Banning 52 kinds of commodities is just the first step, the future will ban more, the Northwest needs to respond, when most of the exports are not able to continue under the premise, how to deal with the Northwest, the industrial society has this is not good, if the production of large-scale extrusion, the goods can not be sold under the premise, losses will also be generated.

52 products, but occupy about 1% of the total exports of the northwest, after the ban, it will affect the amount of more than 2 billion US dollars, the impact on the northwest is not large, some of the products, you can contact the allies, let them digest 50% on the spot, the rest, may be sold through other channels, the loss will definitely be, and not small.

I have long been mentally prepared for the loss, but Yang Yuanzhao still wants to see how much the loss is, with the help of the computer, a large number of impacts began to be calculated, if the United States, Britain and France continue, maybe the total product catalog will increase to 800-1000 designs to 18% of the total exports, that is about 35 billion yuan, will reduce the income of the northwest by about 5%.

This is not a small number, the economic aggregate of the northwest is already huge enough, 5% of the fluctuation amplitude, basically represents the growth in the first half of 1914 no longer exists, a little careless, there will be negative growth, this is probably the only time after the start of Baotou, a few years of time, are great development, big strides, who would have thought that in the promulgation of the five-year plan now, but suffered such a blow.

The statisticians calculated all the orders that have been signed, in addition to these and arrange production, the rest, temporarily reduce production or change production, the northwest under the promotion of Yang Yuanzhao, has cultivated a huge market, in this market, the ability to digest the capacity is relatively strong, and a part of the excess production capacity can be digested locally.

Sure enough, the excitement that was originally due to the plenary meeting and the First Five-Year Plan suddenly stopped, the world is constantly changing, and what is shown on the surface is just the result of constant balance. To put it simply, the butterfly in the northwest has gradually grown up and become an earth-shattering beast, and if it moves slightly, the whole world will change accordingly, so there are actions of the great powers.

According to the calculation results, the adjustment was made, and there were too many categories of design, and it was conservatively estimated that the loss was about 4 billion dollars, which is only the loss of raw materials and production waste, and did not mention the loss of profits.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and if it had been a month later, when a large number of exported materials had been produced and even transported to the ship, the loss would have been great.

In the coming days, under the proposal of Yang Yuanzhao and the joint initiative of the high-level leaders in the northwest, a certain emergency plan has been adopted for export security and export-oriented economy, mainly to deal with a series of impacts brought about by the substantial reduction of the market

All aspects need to take into account, and even future exports, will not be open to exports, and in terms of the number of exports, it is necessary to maintain a margin in order to be able to cope with the crisis.

Just when the northwest was nervously preparing to deal with a series of targets from the great powers, the Kaiser's envoy with the Kaiser's secret mission also arrived in Basra through the 3B railway, and found the Northwest Express merchant ship to ask for a ride, and the news he brought was also transmitted to the northwest as soon as possible.
