As a latecomer, Chen Jingyun knows the important surname of the tank better than everyone in the world, and a few years later the tank made a grand debut in World War I, although the tank itself did not affect the war situation too much in World War I, but it still made countries realize the important surname of the tank and tried their best to develop the tank during the period from World War I to World War II. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.. In World War II, tanks exploded into an astonishing impact, so much so that in the 21st century after World War II, tanks were the main equipment of the armies of various countries.
Like airplanes and aircraft carriers, tanks are a weapon that can affect the world situation, and Chen Jingyun knows more about these weapons than others, and knows their important surnames better, so although their own industrial base is poor, but the stupid bird flies first, and only when those powers have not yet realized the important surnames of tanks, planes and aircraft carriers can they vigorously develop before they can maintain the realm of being too backward in the later competition.
It is not ordinarily difficult for China to develop tanks today. If you have to rely on yourself to start from scratch, you can't do it for more than ten years, not to mention anything else, just one power system is limited to death. However, although China's current industrial base is poor, it has a foreign trade environment that all Chinese in later generations envy, as long as you are willing to give money, let alone a gas and oil engine, even the country's heavy battleships of this era can be bought, and even the full set of design drawings of battleships can be purchased incidentally, which is not at all comparable to China in later generations that even has difficulties in buying a scrapped aircraft carrier.
The so-called technological and economic blockade has not yet appeared, and even the "Ben will still sell weapons to China, and even the current "Ben will buy warships from the UK, such as the famous King Kong Battle Cruiser, which was ordered from the UK." And he said, "It was from Britain that I bought battleships to get the source of technology, and finally succeeded in building my own battleships, and in just a few years, I built a super battleship like the Nagato." It's not terrible to buy, it's terrible to keep buying out like India in later generations......
With such a good open environment, it would be unreasonable to bury your head in hard work. Therefore, in the name of introducing tractor factories, China will be able to control the manufacturing technology of tracked vehicles, and at the same time, it will be able to obtain the manufacturing technology of the power system.
And relying on tractor technology, China is fully capable of designing and manufacturing a primitive tank.
Because of the important surname of the tank, although those people in the industrial sector did not know about it, Chen Jingyun still insisted on introducing this project, and did not give them any explanation.
Compared with the incomprehension of the introduction of tractor factories, they showed great enthusiasm for the construction of oil refineries, and the people of the Economic Development Division even referred to many refineries in the oil industry in the United States and proposed a plan to build a large oil refinery. The reason why they have such great enthusiasm is related to the fact that many planes have been used in the national army and the cruiser fleet that is about to return home uses fuel.
At present, China's oil market is mainly ordinary household kerosene, and then there is military aviation gasoline for the national army. And both of these rely on imports, and the annual import volume is not small, plus the fleet will also need a lot of heavy oil in the future, so it is still very necessary to refine oil independently.
However, the construction of this refinery is not equivalent to self-production of oil, because so far no large oil fields in China have been discovered, Chen Jingyun knows where several large oil fields in China are located, such as Shengli Oilfield, such as Daqing Oilfield, and Yumen Oilfield, the pioneer of China's petroleum industry, but these oil fields are not in the control area of the Nationalist Army, Shengli Oilfield and Daqing Oilfield are in the north, and Yumen Oilfield is far in the northwest. For a variety of reasons, it is not necessary to produce crude oil on a large scale for at least three to five years.
Therefore, the planned refinery is ready to import crude oil from Southeast Asia, and then transport it back to China for refining, and the designed output is not enough to meet the huge domestic demand for civilian kerosene, but at least to meet the demand for military fuel.
In addition, in fact, the petroleum industry is also a part of the chemical industry, and in addition to fuel oil, petroleum refining also has many ancillary products, and these things are the raw materials of other chemical industries.
After the large-scale development of steel, chemical, power, machinery, petroleum and other industries, coupled with the many enterprises owned by Huaxia Bank, it is enough to establish a small but complete industrial system, although this initially established industrial system is far from being comparable with those industrially developed countries, but it is also enough to bring hope for industrialization to China. After the establishment of these seed enterprises, the follow-up is to rely on the seed expansion and development, and finally radiate to the whole country, to establish a huge industrial system necessary for a large country.
In fact, Chen Jingyun has been doing such things since the beginning of the development of the Fuzhou Arsenal, and in order to establish an industrial system, he can be regarded as having worked hard, first expanding the Fuzhou Arsenal, relying on the military industry to develop heavy industry, and establishing a series of military industrial systems such as steel, chemical industry, and machinery.
And the military-industrial system of this era can also be directly called the heavy industrial system.
After the large-scale expansion of the Fuzhou Arsenal, Chen Jingyun split the subordinate departments of the Fuzhou Arsenal, and then relied on the direct investment of Huaxia Bank to establish many industrial enterprises, so many means are the system that makes the current military industry initially formed, although there are still various kinds of product shortages, but it has been able to initially supply the needs of the national army, rifles and bullets of light weapons and even machine guns can already be made by themselves, and artillery with heavy weapons can also be made by themselves. Even field artillery has already been designed with prototypes.
As long as we continue to expand our scale and improve our technological capabilities, we will be able to establish a sound heavy industry system sooner or later.
In addition to this heavy industry system, there is also a light industry system, for the current stage of China's light industry, mainly concentrated in the textile industry, and the textile industry in the national population is said to be the raw silk industry, other cotton and other industries are much weaker and have not formed enough influence.
At this stage, China's raw silk industry is China's main export product, along with other traditional Chinese export products, such as tea and porcelain.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the raw silk industry is China's export support industry.
Based on the important surname of the raw silk industry, it is naturally hoped to vigorously develop, and the Economic Development Department hopes to continue the model of the past two years, using large imitation companies to integrate the domestic raw silk industry, and finally form several giants of the raw silk industry and foreign raw silk, especially the "Bunsen silk" to compete.
The raw silk industry does not need a large amount of capital and foreign advanced technology like other heavy industries, the main thing that is needed is the integration of the industry, as well as the domestic policy support for the raw silk industry, as long as these are in place, the raw silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will glow with great vitality, after all, these integrated textile companies do not lack too much capital, nor lack of channels, what is needed is the direct support of the political axe, such as guiding textile companies and imitation enterprises in the United States to directly tie up the line, Bypass foreign banks and trade directly. Even if there is a lack of funds, there will be support from Huaxia Bank and the Southeast Bank in China. Needless to say, Huaxia Bank's position as a bank controlled by Chen Jingyun is very complicated, on the one hand, he is a private bank, and on the other hand, he undertakes the issuance of banknotes and political axe bonds. It is a bank that has the dual status of a central bank and a commercial bank. Regardless of its unique surname, Huaxia Bank has the most abundant capital among domestic banks, and Huaxia Bank not only has its own financing capital, but also manages a large amount of tax and borrowing income from the republican government, including a large amount of silver reserves and foreign exchange reserves.
Relying on these silver and foreign exchange reserves, Huaxia Bank can smoothly issue banknotes, and after the issuance of banknotes, Huaxia Bank's payment capacity will increase a lot out of thin air.
Huaxia Bank has abundant capital and has provided a lot of financial support for domestic enterprises, mostly in the form of direct investment. The reason is also simple, because Chen Jingyun needs to set up many enterprises, but others are unwilling to do it, so they can only do it themselves, and it is better to give themselves loans than direct investment, such as the most obvious is Fule Electric. This large enterprise, which claims to be second only to the Fuzhou Arsenal in terms of assets, is wholly owned by Huaxia Bank.
However, although Huaxia Bank has abundant capital, most of them are invested in their own industries, and it is difficult to meet the capital needs of ordinary private enterprises, which is why the rich businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces jointly established the fundamental reason for the Southeast Bank, that is, because Fuhang Textile Company needed to expand production on a large scale, but could not get a large number of financial support from Huaxia Bank. Most of the other integrated textile enterprises behind them are also supported by those private banks or simply money banks, so to a certain extent, now the raw silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions has been integrated after the establishment of four or five textile giants, there is not much lack of funds, in one fell swoop to get rid of the embarrassing situation of relying on foreign funds, and get rid of the capital dependence of foreign banks, but also the primary condition for China's raw silk enterprises to go out of the country to contact foreign textile enterprises.
With the exception of raw silk, most of the other light industry developments are small-scale, and all the economic development department has to do is to guide businessmen to invest, and the economic development zones in coastal cities are also prepared for these light industries.
While the Department of Economic Development was preparing dozens of projects to attract American capital, the war between the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army continued in full swing.
The Fourth Army of the Nationalist Army continued to stalemate with the Beiyang Army in the Changsha area, and the Fourth Army of the Nationalist Army had an advantage in Hunan, but Yang Shande was reinforced by some troops sent by Duan Zhigui of Hubei, resulting in the strength of the two sides returning to roughly equal here, and it continued to evolve into a strategic stalemate.
In late October, the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army took Chuzhou as the center, and large-scale battles broke out in Shahe Town and Chuzhou respectively and Wugang in the west of Jiangbei, and the two sides invested heavy troops in a radius of dozens of kilometers, and the combined strength of both sides was as high as more than 100,000, and the people who did it were to fight for control of Chuzhou.
This was a war on a much larger scale than the Battle of Chaohu and the Battle of Hefei, and it was also a key war that completely determined the victory or defeat of both sides in the battle on the Jinpu Line.
