．． General Baichuan. It is the first hidden danger of social safety in our country. The sharpest weapon in the hands of many g... Zeng Chair spoke slowly, and his eyebrows gradually furrowed. It seems to be considering the use of re: "I estimate that the first major thing after the capture of Zhili by Zhongg is land reform. As long as they complete the land reform, the rural areas of Zhili will be firmly controlled by them. Then they will be able to gradually infiltrate into Shanxi. If the rural areas of Shanxi still maintain the status quo, the hearts and minds of the people will be won over by the Chinese G. ”

Yan Xishan was silent for a moment, but he smiled deeply: "Mr. Mu Han thinks highly of GCD. They have carried out land reform in Shaanxi, Gansu and northwest Shanxi, but the people there are still living very hard, and it is better than our land without land reform. Speaking of this, Yan Xishan's old face showed a hint of mockery: "They GCD Shaanxi and Gansu to connect the barren land of the Soviet region. But five million weary people. Raise 200,000 soldiers. Moreover, in the past two years, they are still running heavy industries in the northwest despite the severe drought in the northwest. What kind of Baotou Special Economic Zone to build, and this burden is not to be borne by the peasants in the end? The hardships of the peasants in the Soviet area are unimaginable to outsiders, and in the past two years, only the people in the Soviet area have run out. No one ran to the Soviet zone. ”

Zeng chair frowned. Slowly shook his head: "Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness. Although the Soviet district was poor, it was average. Although the people's livelihood in Shanxi is rich, it is unfair, and no matter how rich Shanxi is, the economy of Britain, France and Germany is still very different from that of Europe. Yan Xishan just shook his head: "I don't understand. I don't understand...... "Therefore, no matter how difficult the problem of land reform is, we must find a way to solve it, even if we can't solve all of it, and it is good to solve some areas." Zeng Qi said with a wry smile. Solve part of it? Where to solve it first? Yan Xishan seemed to be moved.

Zeng Yi thought for a while: "Then it's too far to go to the mountains." There is a condescending trend of building a bottle on this Zhili Plain, and it is estimated that it will be the focus of the infiltration of the middle g.

Yan Xishan frowned. It seems that he is pulling a small abacus in his heart, and after a long time, he sighed: "Then it will also take seventeen or eighteen counties, and one million counties will also cost seventeen or eight million. Shanxi's financial burden is not

Zeng Yi shook his head with a smile, and threw up a glass of wine in his hand: "General Baichuan, this land reform is a life-saving thing, isn't the Kuomintang in the south also gritting its teeth and changing?" Whether Shanxi's finances can squeeze out money to do this kind of thing, you can consider it and see what to do. ”

Yan Xishan gritted his teeth, with a painful look on his face: "Then thank you Mr. Mu Han for mentioning it. I will consider the matter of land reform: we will discuss the matter of the three alliances again. Let's see if we can change it to the ?.. of the Four Alliances." Four? Zeng Qi was stunned when he heard this: "Kuomintang? Or the Northeast Army?.." It's the Northeast Army.... Yan Xishan looked at Zeng Qi with a smile: "Mr. Mu Han and General Zhang Hanqing are old friends, I don't know if I can match them?" What about the four alliances? ”

Zeng chair smiled and nodded. His eyes touched Yan Xishan's eyes. immediately turned away: it seems that Yan Laoxi, the old fox, is not willing to give up his position as the master of the smog to Wuhan to be a committee member until the end, or is he trying to find a balance between the forces of all parties. Maintain the situation of Shanxi as an independent kingdom. "Young Marshal Zhang, I can try it there, and I'm afraid that the Northern Army has been in the pass all these years, and I'm afraid it's heartbroken. It is estimated that it will not be easily involved in the war in the Kankien, and even if this alliance can succeed. It's just something on paper. I don't know what General Baichuan thinks? ”

Yan Xishan clapped his hands and laughed: "No problem, with Mr. Mu Han's words, I will rest assured." In addition, I have an unsolicited request. "Hundred, general, please speak." Zeng chair smiling jaw.

Yan Xishan seemed to be in a very good mood at this moment. Smiled: "I have also studied a lot of doctrines in my spare time over the years. In the end, it is still your party's nationalism that is most suitable for China's current national conditions, so I want to join the youth party, but the old man is forty and seven this year, and I don't know if he can still be regarded as a young man? ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Zeng Yi's face: "Of course it is a young man, what our Youth Party wants is the pioneering spirit of young people. By no means by age. It's just that he is no longer the leader of the Shabaab Party, and this position has been given to Wang Junhao, but there are hundreds of people like the general to join, presumably Junhao can't ask for it....

After that, Zeng Yi and Tang Yao, two envoys, stayed in Shanxi for a few more days. First of all, the details and declaration of the "Four Alliances" were finalized. Later, Tang Yao went back to Mongolia to report the situation to Wang Zhongyi, and Zeng Qi went to Shenyang to lobby Zhang Xueliang to join.

At the same time that the Northeast Army, the Youth Party, the Jin Army, and the Mongolian Wang Zhongyi were plotting a new anti-G conspiracy, the leaders of the Central Committee of China and G, who had already been stationed in Zhongnanhai, were having a headache for another major matter, that is, the Great Depression! Well, it's just June 1929, and we're still four months away from the Wall Street financial crisis in October. The world economy is also in full bloom. When the oil is boiled over a blazing fire. But in Beijing, thousands of miles away from Wall Street, the signs of the Great Depression are already clearly felt.

This early arrival depression actually began to quietly appear in the Beijing-Tianjin area of Zhili when Sun Yat-sen died. In particular, the North and the South are close to rupture. After Mao Chi took office as President Yu, he had a sense of foresight

Funds were only withdrawn from the Beijing-Tianjin area. Real estate and land prices fell incredibly, and at the same time, a long run began to form at the gates of the banks. Those who have a little wealth are scrambling to exchange the silver tooth tao in their hands for cash or gold and foreign exchange, even if it is the gold ticket of the Bank of Japan and North Korea and the Zhengjin Bank: it really can't be. The banknotes of the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in the northern bank are also acceptable. Southbound train and ferry tickets are starting to get in demand. There is a long queue at Beijing's Qianmen Railway Station every day. Waiting in line to squeeze the train. There are also some people who carry large bags and small bags to drag their homes with mouths. Most of these people who are dressed decently are "propertied classes", but they have experienced the "revolution" in the 14th year of the Republic of China, and when they heard that GCD was going to come to power again. One by one, they are like frightened birds. Three dollars are not worth two dollars to sell the real estate shop. rolled up the family and ran away quickly. It saves GCD people a lot of trouble. But... This economy will inevitably come down!

For this reason, the new prime minister who took over the mess left by the brother who had ridden came up weekly. For several days, he convened a meeting of the members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in the West Flower Hall. Discuss economic issues.

The leaders of the China and G also felt a little caught off guard by the current economic difficulties. Let's be honest. This time, China G did not want to carry out the transformation of the social head in the Beijing-Tianjin area. There's no time to talk about it right now. Consolidation of the nascent people's power. It is still necessary to unite the national bourgeoisie in the fight against reactionary forces at home and abroad: but how did these people flee from the wind? Moreover, they all went to the territory of the right wing of the Kuomintang in the south, and it seems that it is still unreliable to take advantage of these class dissidents!

And how to get through this difficult time. The members of the Politburo were divided into two factions.

Mao Wa, Wang Ming, Zhang... It's rare to have a consensus. Their opinion is that since these national bourgeoisie are not willing to fight with the GCD. Then there is no need for the GCD to accommodate them, and simply carry out comprehensive socialist transformation in Zhili, Chahar, and Beijing. Take over the economy according to the Soviet model. Direct confiscation of bourgeois factories, shops, banks. Of course. It is still necessary to treat the factories and enterprises set up by the leftists and democrats of the Kuomintang who have defected to the revolution differently. For example, Shaanbei Energy Company uh. It's a hassle too! Ben Cheng said it well, all the coal and oil were sold to the national control area at a high price. But at the moment, of course people don't buy it, I really don't know what to do? That Zhang Naiqi has been so anxious for the past two days that all the hair on his entire head has fallen out. The whole thing is a big bald! Almost six million fiat dollars invested. After repairing the railway, the mine, and the oil field are about to be put into production. But no one bought it. This is the shareholders' money. Don't you have to lose the bottom of the money? The Kuomintang leftists and democrats also complained about this. Some people even suggested that they should ease up with the right wing of the Kuomintang, and whether it would be possible to take turns with the Kuomintang to sit in the village and have a little sign of attacking the party! Be vigilant when you go

Zhou Lai, Liu Cqi, Zhang Guozhuo and others did not approve of a premature break with the national bourgeoisie. In their opinion. Zhili, especially the Beijing-Tianjin region, actually plays the role of the economic center of northern China: the financial industry and trade there are all based on the economy of Northeast and North China. If a comprehensive socialist transformation of the Beijing-Tianjin region is carried out once . It is equivalent to artificially cutting off the connection between the Beijing-Tianjin region and the Northeast, Shanxi, Shandong, Feihenan, and other places. Pushed those areas into the Southern Economic Circle. The associated trade and financial activities are also willing to move to the South. So.. The huge tax revenue in the Beijing-Tianjin-Zhili area will be greatly discounted. The plan to raise funds for the Baotou heavy industry base with bonds cannot be implemented, so the heavy industry construction of China and G will inevitably be greatly affected. If heavy industry can't be built. In the future, once the KMT and the CCP finally break up. And what will be used to defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries?

Both sides of the Yangtze River. At this time, it was already green. Among the paddy fields. Wearing a hat. Poor middle peasants in patched short clothes. Dotted with stars. While working, I played a song. One plays a song. Four should be and. It's a wonderful sight.

This land. At present, it can be regarded as an economic boom. Social Harmony:

Well, because of this, the cooperation between the KMT and the CCP in time and space is a bit out of shape. So there is no class struggle here in the South. There was also no peasant movement. There is only a low level of compulsory education and the collection of weapons. Strengthening reactionary rule: Some of the local tyrants who dared to resist the rule of the Kuomintang were ruthlessly suppressed. Most of them obediently surrendered their weapons. Regressed to the status of an ordinary landlord, unarmed in his hands, and naturally had to restrain his evil deeds. In addition, industry and commerce have been at a high level in recent years. The poor peasants also had more outlets. The social contradictions in South China as a whole have actually eased:

But the time has come to the present. The Great Depression, which nearly destroyed the capitalist system, is fast approaching. When the time comes. Can stability and prosperity be maintained here? And now the right wing of the Kuomintang and the Central G have almost parted ways. It's almost the end of the war. The peasant movement and the workers' movement in the south may be brewing, right?

It's a pity to leave this one. The time of the country is still too short, and the Second World War will be multiplied immediately after the Great Depression. That was the last feast to divide the world! It's just that South China has taken advantage of the world economic boom in recent years. This little bit of possessions that I have saved. When the time comes

Can you take out a personal gamble?

If the society of South China could have stabilized during the years of the Great Depression. If only the economy could continue to expand

Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew. With the family and the guards. is sitting on a steamer bound for Lushan. They were accompanied by Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi and their families. In recent years, every summer, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government in Wuhan would take refuge in the cool climate of Lushan Mountain to work. However, Luo Yaoguo was the first year to go to Lushan. In the past few years, there have been various and different things that have been delayed.

Luo Yaoguo was wearing a well-tailored green cloth gown, holding a stack of government budget reports in his hand. A page of the page is counted and looked at carefully. The face gradually became solemn: the eighteenth year of the Republic of China. The national government's fiscal revenue budget is almost 20% more than in 17 years, reaching about 1.8 billion legal currency. And the expenditure budget is as high as two billion fiat currency. The financial Chiyu is about 200 million fiat currency.

Among them, military spending is as high as 700 million yuan, and the largest expenditure in military expenditure is still the development of the armaments industry. In particular, the Maoming oil shale project, the Guangxi electrolytic aluminum project, Jiangxi and Yunnan copper mines and copper smelting and other key projects.

The second largest expenditure was on equipment purchases, including the USS Nakayama (just renamed) aircraft carrier ordered from the United States. A number of self-built "Karl Marx" class battleships, "Polish Legion" class armored ships, Guangzhou-class air defense cruisers, Königsberg-class light cruisers, Nian type destroyers, submarine and so on. Some of them are going to be delivered. Others are still intensifying construction. However, the Ministry of Armaments has to pay a lot of money for it. The 6th Army has to reserve a batch of munitions for the general mobilization system. This ding. The plan has been implemented since the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, although 20 million bayonets are somewhat bluffing. However, the weapons and equipment of the 100 to 150 integrated divisions will be gradually stockpiled, and more than 10,000 cannons alone will need to be stockpiled! Speaking of which, it's also a bit of a dusty person, except for the Navy and the 6th Army. The Air Force acts as a newly created corps and. It also faces huge expenses. Institutions need to be composed. All kinds of ground and air crew need to be trained. New aircraft and engines also need to be designed faster. In a word. Now is a critical moment for the heavy industrialization and war preparations of the South. But the Great Depression that swept the world was just around the corner! Until then. Can the national government still have enough financial resources to support the high development of the lifting industry? "Uncle, if the economy of our south is missing the huge inflow of foreign capital, can it still maintain its high growth?..

Luo Yaoguo threw down the documents in his hand and looked at Luo Yiqun, who was burying his head in official business, with a solemn face.

Luo Yiqun was stunned by this sudden question, put down the brush in his hand, and thought for a while: "This issue was also studied by the Executive Yuan during the Sino-Japanese War last year. The conclusion at the time was . At present, the economy of South China is basically driven by investment and domestic demand, and exports are not too much. Trade is also sustaining Chiyu. If there is no foreign capital inflow. Then the scale of our investment will definitely shrink. There is no doubt about it. Such... Workers, especially construction workers, will lose their jobs in large numbers. Naturally, the demand for light industrial goods will also decrease. So demand will also be affected. Even more serious is .... Some people worry that when workers lose their jobs, they will be deprived of food and clothing, and they may be bewitched by different parties. endanger social stability. This makes the economy even worse! That's right. Fuwen, why do you ask this and the question? Isn't there another war coming?..

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly. Nodding noncommittally, he then asked, "Is it possible to rely on government investment to make up for the gap in foreign investment?" Let the economy be sustained. What about creating jobs for workers? ”

Luo Yaoguo vaguely remembers. in history. This was true of both Roosevelt's New Deal and Hitler's work in Germany. Let the government bear the fiscal deficit to expand investment. Forcibly dragged out of the recession in the economy. The infrastructure in South China is extremely poor at the moment. There are not many railways, roads, bridges, power grids, power plants, etc. There seems to be room for expansion. Moreover, the government has also saved a large amount of foreign exchange cash in its hands, and heavy industry has a safe foundation. It can provide most of the raw materials and equipment required for infrastructure construction. At the same time, South China's resources and labor force are still very rich in the current economic development. It seems safe and bold to use the government's financial resources to stimulate investment. Forcibly pull the economy.

Luo Yiqun didn't know why his nephew would ask such a question? I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I was thinking silently. Luo Yaoguo opened his mouth again: "How much foreign capital have we absorbed in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China?" Does the Executive Yuan have statistics on this? "Less than $400 million... This is similar to the data, Luo Yiqun remembers that the melons are ripe, "almost 1.4 billion fiat currency." Luo Yaoguo frowned. Moaned for a moment. In an inaudible voice, he said to himself, "But this money shouldn't be spent in a year, right?" Last year, we should have invested $300 million. Among them, the most spent in China is half, that is, 1.5 billion US dollars. It's almost more than 500 million fiat currency, so don't we support an extra 500 million to 600 million investment in infrastructure every year? Can we keep the economy at a low level of growth? ”
