… The Lingjia train roared into the train station, and the steaming white steam leaked out of the cracks and strained the platform, looking from afar, like a burst of fog.

This is Hankou Railway Station. Since the construction of a magnificent railway station in Hankou Huajie a year ago, it has replaced Liujiamiao Railway Station as the most important railway hub in the entire Wuhan area, and most passengers get on and off here.

The armored train that entered the railway station was so new that you could even smell the paint on the locomotive, and judging from the number "temporary" on the locomotive, this armored train was still in the test stage, and this Hankou railway station was the base of this armored train.

Now Wuhan, is China's Huofeng manufacturing center, since Wu Hong locomotive factory moved from Shanghai to Hankou, here has become China's train manufacturing and repair base, although at present, the train with the motor still needs to be imported from the United States, the train bearing also needs to be imported from Germany, but in general, in the past two years, the train manufacturing industry has indeed made great progress, the front of this armored train with "temporary" is the latest product of Wuhan locomotive factory, in addition to the train motive and bearing. All other parts are manufactured and assembled in a Chinese factory.

After the armored train stopped on the platform, the steel door of an armored car was pulled open from inside, and several officers jumped out of the car and climbed onto the platform. In the past, the well-known "colonel battalion commander" but now, his military rank has been promoted to brigadier general, and the armored train battalion under his command has also been expanded into an armored train brigade.

Today, he personally presided over the test of the "Temporary" armored train, and the Ministry of Runxian was very satisfied with the performance of this armored train, so he ended the test ahead of schedule, and rushed to the Wuhan Locomotive Factory with the representative of the garrison army, ready to sign for the armored train immediately, he was already impatient to drive the armored train to Zhengzhou, and now the Longhai Railway has been repaired to Zhengzhou, and the Jinpu Railway has been opened to traffic, and the British have also agreed that the Chinese National Defense Forces will send an armored train to the southern section of the Jinpu Road to patrol. And it was suggested that the Chinese side transport the armored train to Pukou by water and assemble it at the Collapse Railway Station. However, in the opinion of Bu Runxian, the dignified armored train unit actually wanted to take a boat to Pukou, which was simply despised, so he had decided to ignore the "suggestion" of the British and take the Longhai line directly from Zhengzhou, first to the east, and then to the south at the intersection of the Longhai line and the Jinpu line. Majestically took the train to Pukou, let the British see the spirit of the Chinese people, of course, the decision of the ministry was approved by the center, otherwise, this kind of action involving foreign affairs a brigadier general is not qualified to decide.

However, before he left the train station, he was stopped by several high-ranking officers who had rushed to the station, and when he asked, he learned that Mr. President's special train would arrive at the Hankou railway station immediately, and Zhou Daowang, commander of the Wuhan garrison, ordered the Ministry of Runxian to take the "temporary phenol" armored train to the Liujiamiao railway station, first, to greet Mr. President, and second, to vacate the platform, so as not to affect the normal train scheduling. This is also what the president specifically told in the telegram. Now the Liujiamiao Railway Station has basically become a station for loading and unloading coal, which is relatively secluded, and the president chose this place as a waiting point for local officials, but he does not want to be too open

。 "The president is going to Wuhan again? When was the last time you visited? Half a month ago, right? It seems that the nearest center is relatively quiet. ”

Although the ministry is strange. Not long after, Lieutenant General Zhou Daowang, commander of the Wuhan garrison, rushed to the railway station by car, did not pick any special trains, hung a luxury carriage behind the butt of the armored train, and sat on it with a few adjutants, and then picked up the command knife personally given by the president and stomped on the deck of the carriage.

Liujiamiao Railway Station is not far from Hankou Railway Station, the armored train is all running, a few minutes later to Liujiamiao Railway Station, into the platform, Zhou Daowang got off the train, personally sat in the dispatch room, waiting by the telegraph machine, at any time to listen to the president's call.

Since a year ago, the 6th Military Department began to equip radio stations on a large scale, and radio stations have been set up in all important transportation hubs along the Jinghan Line, which are specially used for military purposes, compared with cable telegraphs, radio stations are not easy to be destroyed, and can ensure the smooth flow of military communication in wartime, and this Liujiamiao Railway Station is equipped with such a radio station, the antenna is as high as more than 20 meters, and it can directly get in touch with the radio station of Xiaogan Railway Station in the north.

Of course, Mr. President's special train has already passed the Xiaogan Railway Station now, otherwise Zhou Daogang would not have rushed to Liujiamiao Railway Station in such a hurry, and now Zhou Daowang is not only the commander of the Wuhan garrison, but also the vice president of Wuhan 6th Military University, and assists President Jiang Fangzhen to train China's senior military command talents, Jiang Fangzhen originally planned to come over, but the president asked him to prepare at the 6th Military University in the telegram, because the president will give a speech at the 6th Military University, and the president's time is relatively tight, so he needs to prepare in advance. Cadets are required to wear military uniforms before being paraded by the President.

Zhou Daowang didn't wait long in the dispatch room of Liujiamiao Railway Station, and the president's special train roared and stopped at Liujiamiao Railway Station. The whistle sounded, and Mr. President's special train started again, heading for the Hankou railway station at the highest altitude.

In that very ordinarily decorated carriage, Zhao Bei, president of the Republic of China, met with Zhou Daogang and the senior officers he brought, and had a cordial and sincere conversation with these subordinates, learned about their work and life, and made an important instruction to the security workers in Wuhan.

After two years of industrial exhibitions, the current Wuhan area has become the most important industrial base in China, steel, automobile manufacturing, train manufacturing, small ship manufacturing, bearing factories, motor factories, imitation weaving factories, garment factories almost all the light and heavy industries related to the national exhibition can be seen here, some factories have been completed and put into operation, some factories are still stepping up construction, the "four industrial exhibition plan" in the most important is heavy industry, so, the first two years of construction is basically the main focus on heavy industry. Considering the dispersion of private capital and the lack of anti-risk ability, these heavy industry projects are basically presided over by the Ministry of Finance, and most of the heavy industry factories also adopt the form of cooperation between state-owned capital and private capital, but the management measures are learned from private enterprises, so in these heavy industry factories, although state-owned capital accounts for the majority, but in the board of directors. Private capital has a lot of power.

It is precisely because Wuhan's heavy industry is the lifeblood of the country's economy and all the hopes for the country's rejuvenation that the central government and the president are very concerned about the military garrison work in the Wuhan area.

The appointment of Zhou Daogang as the commander of the Wuhan garrison was a decision made by Zhao Beili against public opinion, and the facts also proved that the president's vision was correct, and it was under the auspices of Zhou Daowang that Wuhan became a fortress, which was both for the needs of national defense. It is also for the need to consolidate the central authority, Wuhan is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, and if it controls here, it controls the heart of China, so whether it is to go south to Yunnan and Guizhou, or to the north to the Central Plains. Or go west to the fourth, "go east into Jiangxi, this Wuhan is a stable logistics base, with this base, the princes of the world can only bow down.

Strategically. This is called "building a bottle from a high house", and if you control Wuhan, you will control Hubei. To control Hubei is to control China

During this visit to Wuhan, Zhao Bei not only came to care about the military work in the Wuhan area, but also to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony of a heavy industry factory.

The factory that is about to officially start today is an agricultural machinery factory, named "Huaxia Agricultural Machinery Factory" is a Sino-US joint venture machinery factory, the Chinese shareholder is the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, and the American shareholder is Bian Er Agricultural Machinery Company, in addition, there is no third-party shares, which is more special than other heavy industry factories, and the Chinese shares account for 51 percent, the board of directors is determined by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, which is also different from those other "joint venture companies"

According to the commercial contract, this "Huaxia Agricultural Machinery Factory" will take agricultural machinery as the main product, and the most eye-catching product is agricultural tractors, and, due to the direct intervention of the president, the agricultural tractors produced by the factory do not use steam engines, but use gasoline engines and diesel engines, and the wheels are not the most popular large-diameter steel ring wheels, but use American technicians Baronde, Holt and other steel tracks that are clear and improved, so the agricultural tractors produced by the factory must be heavy-duty tractors. Obviously, such tractors will not be for smallholder farmers, because they cannot afford them and they will not be able to use them.

As for the sale of such tractors, it seems that there is no problem, because just last year, the central government issued the "Three Eastern Provinces Homestead Law", announcing the confiscation of all the flag land in the three eastern provinces, dividing it into small pieces, and "contracting" it to the peasants who went to the eastern part of the country. Since the land is not privately owned, therefore, what crops are planted on these agricultural lands are decided by the Department of Agriculture under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and according to the relevant contracts, the Department of Agriculture will provide technical support to the farmers of these contracted land, including the rental of agricultural machinery and the guidance of technical personnel. It is conceivable that in the future, there will be many heavy-duty tractors and agricultural machinery manufactured by the Huaxia Agricultural Machinery Factory in the black soil of the three eastern provinces, and these orders from the government will ensure the profits of the agricultural machinery factory, and it is precisely this that the American investors are looking at.

Liu Changyi, Minister of Industry and Commerce, Xiong Chengji, Vice Minister of Heavy Industry, Duan Qirui, Chief of the 6th Army, and Tang Xiangming, Chief of the Navy, accompanied the President to inspect Wuhan, all of whom had their own tasks. To compete with foreign imitation fabrics, Xiong Chengji will go to Hanyeping Company to preside over the acceptance of the German steelmaking blast furnace that the two nets have been completed, Duan Qirui will go to the Hanyang Arsenal to preside over the acceptance of a batch of light and heavy weapons of the 6th Army, and as for the Navy Chief Tang Xiangming, he will go to the shipyard in Wuhan to host a welcome banquet with Mr. President to welcome several technical experts from Germany, who will live in Wuhan for a long time and live in China during their stay in China. They will guide China's shipbuilding experts to design China's first modern domestically produced destroyer and the first modern domestically produced torpedo boat. All in all, none of the people brought by the president to Wuhan this time were here to hang out, and the international situation did not allow them to hang out.
