In the government work report in Liu Shu's hands, there are the most detailed data about 1913, one by one, one project after another, from steel, to railways, to electricity, to coal, the 20,000 delegates attending the meeting, can be regarded as truly understanding how powerful the northwest is that they rely on, especially when the northwest obtains data on the European and American powers through multi-party investigations, they know that the current strength is strong even more.

It turned out that the former powers, in front of the powerful industry in the northwest, had been far surpassed, and the satisfaction that emerged from the depths of the heart made any of the delegates excited. Of course, the strength of the country is not only the comparison of data, but also the fierce war as a means of solving the problem under the premise of irreconcilable contradictions, but with the current position of China, once the domestic reunification is completed, China will have enough confidence to resist any foreign enemy.

With warm applause, the 1913 government work report ended, and then, when hundreds of items were collectively voted on and one item was completed, the new First Five-Year Plan was rolled out in the northwest again.

If the 1913 government work report is a review of the past, then the five-year plan is to look forward to the future, so that they can see how strong the northwest and China will be if they develop according to the five-year plan.

Through careful calculations, relying on thousands of large-scale projects, it has a huge role in promoting the entire industry. The most obvious point is still reflected in the data, according to the estimates and calculations of the Northwest. Once five years later, that is, in 1918. After the completion of the First Five-Year Plan, the level of manufacturing industry in the northwest will rise by six times, the industrial output value will increase by three times, and the gross national product will also increase in the same period, and when the time comes, it will basically reach about 30 times that of the United States, and reach a relatively high level above the per capita gross national product.

Just like China in later generations. Even in 1911, the total industrial value was the largest in the world, but the per capita value of that year was only a fraction of that of the United States, for no other reason, the total population of the northwest. It is several times more than that of the United States. It was only in 1912 and 1913 that the per capita share of industry climbed to about 10 times that of the United States, after two large-scale developments. It's only twice as much per capita, and that's because of the population.

The Chinese population is huge, far more than the rest of the world. Even Russia, which is a European steamroller, has a population of just over 100 million. It is already the largest in Europe, but there are more than 400 million people in China. There are also more than 300 million in the northwest control area. Population is an important advantage of China to a certain extent, as long as there is enough food to feed so many people, the northwest will not deliberately control the population, and even to a certain extent, promote radical population measures, as long as a certain amount of peace is maintained, the population of the northwest will definitely grow faster, perhaps faster than in the previous life, into the threshold of 1 billion, or even more.

There is no problem of pressure and development, the northwest will only maintain this advantage under the situation of laying an advantage, so that the demographic dividend will continue to develop, the huge population, for the national strategy to put forward a huge test, Yang Yuanzhao will also for these population, lay enough living space, so that the land can exist for a long time.

For example, the comprehensive treatment project of the Yangtze River trunk line, the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, focusing on flood control and waterways, raising the water volume of the Yangtze River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and striving to allow ships of 5,000 tons or even higher tonnage to pass directly on the Yangtze River waterway to the west of Wuhan, giving full play to the comprehensive efficiency of the Yangtze River, and connecting Hubei and Sichuan.

Large-scale projects to control the Yangtze River, part of the Yellow River and the northern comprehensive treatment project are also suddenly listed, these are the northwest in the change of the environment, the feedback of the natural environment, once completed, will make the northwest of the sky more blue, the water becomes clearer, the environment will be more beautiful.

In addition to these environmental transformation projects, a large number of infrastructure projects have also been established, such as 10 major ports along the coast of the Yellow Sea, container system projects linked by roads, railways, and shipping, the construction of small towns and various regional center cities.

Next, there are large-scale projects, with more than 700 projects led by steel, machine manufacturing, and electrical appliance manufacturing, which are evenly distributed in various fields of heavy industry and light industry.

Even in the future, with the improvement of the economy and the further welfare measures of Baotou, the production cost will not be able to support some lower value-added industries, these industries must be transferred out, the current direction is Beiyang and the territory controlled by the revolutionary party, after the unification of the future, it may be Nanyang, or even other parts of the world.

Now it's just the First Five-Year Plan, it's still relatively early to talk about this, and the deputies are also full of longing, the northwest is already so strong, but he is not lying on the merits, he is still working hard to develop, and the northwest will be even stronger in the future.

Under the common gaze of 20,000 people, after 12 major items and thousands of small items, the adoption rate of the first five-year plan was as high as 97%, and only a few 3% could not be adopted for many reasons, and the five-year plan was finally settled and became a legally effective instrument in the northwest, and after the plenary session, it will be distributed to every region involved. And with the completion of the preparation of funds, construction will start at any time.

On March 27, 1914, the 24th day of the plenary session, the topic of the First Five-Year Plan was unanimously approved by a considerable absolute majority, and these officials of the government at all levels in the Northwest and the representatives of the Management Council knew everything about what they should do in the next five years.

Of course, they also strictly follow the discipline of the northwest, and they cannot let others know about the government work report and the First Five-Year Plan, and they cannot take risks even if there is even the slightest possibility.

The meeting has come to this point, in fact, most of the topics have been almost completed, and the rest is the most scattered part of the vote, which does not have much impact on the overall situation, and even the core leaders have not participated in the group discussions, and the leaders at the bottom may not have too many problems if they leave for a month, but Yang Yuanzhao and Liu Shu at the top level, even if they are at the most lively and tense time of the plenary meeting, they also need to deal with part of the work every day, otherwise, it will affect the stability of the operation of the northwest.

After 6 years of development, starting from Baotou, Northwest China has formed a huge organization, with a population of more than 300 million, many cities, industries and enterprises, tax and government revenues have reached new highs, and there are thousands of things every day, even after analysis and summary, they need to deal with a large number.

Yang Yuanzhao's office, hurry up in the morning, deal with it, today's things, Yang Yuanzhao is ready to go to the research institute, the research of the internal combustion engine, has entered a critical stage, the reduction of the internal combustion engine and the power system, after the gradual improvement, only one step away from the train, although the diesel locomotive can not make the speed of the train on the original basis, there is a huge improvement, but whether it is in the emission, or in the easy handling performance, it is higher than the steam locomotive, and the scope of use is also expanding.

China's railway network is already huge enough, and it is a high-standard railway, replacing it with diesel locomotives, no need to change the line, the floor area ratio, density, and even the speed of the unit section are also increasing, which is equivalent to increasing the capacity of the railway.

The internal combustion engine is the development direction of the train, which began to enter the railway era from the northwest, was written down by Yang Yuanzhao, the power engineer of later generations, but did not participate in the manufacture of the internal combustion engine, the later generations have popularized electric locomotives and bullet trains, interlaced like under the mountain, he can only put forward the direction.

Sometimes, one direction is enough, the power of the contact bypass, coupled with its own attainments, so that Yang Yuanzhao led the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines, all aspects of development is very rapid, has been more than 2 years of research, which successfully produced 7 batches of 21 prototypes, The diesel locomotive project with a total investment of up to 210 million northwest yuan has entered the end, and the key internal combustion engine has been manufactured more than half a year ago.

Entering the research institute, before entering the laboratory, the person in charge of the internal combustion engine research institute, who is also a power expert in the Northwest Mi Changqing, hurriedly came out, Yang Yuanzhao greeted him casually, but found that his expression was solemn and looked worried.
