In the second phase of the industrial development plan submitted by the Economic Development Division, the raw silk industry and the textile industry as a whole occupy only a small part. www.biquge.info This industrial development plan is a plan that includes the entire industrial system, not only the national defense industry but also heavy industry, light industry, the textile industry is only a part of the light industry, but the textile industry is extremely important for the development of the entire national economy, so whether it is Hong Zitai of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce or Chen Jingyun himself, they have to focus on it.

In addition to the textile industry, the industrial development plan is more about heavy industry, especially the heavy industry projects related to the national defense industry, such as steel, chemistry and coal, which are still the focus of the second phase of the industrial development plan.

Among them, in the iron and steel industry, in addition to continuing to increase the support for Southeast Iron and Steel, and strive to make Wuhu Iron and Steel Plant put into operation as soon as possible, but also ready to reorganize and support the Han Ye Ping Company, Han Ye Ping was originally a government-owned enterprise, but in the later series of changes gradually evolved into a private enterprise, and then in the civil war in the past few years, because the Pingxiang Coal Mine in Han Ye Ping was under the control of the National Army in Jiangxi, and the Hanyang Iron Works and Dazhi Iron Works were controlled by Beiyang, although nominally it was still Han Ye Ping Company, But Han Yeping is already showing signs of splitting. In addition, due to Han Yeping's excessive borrowing from the capital, most of the ore sands of the Dazhi Iron Mine were transported away by the capital.

In order to change this predicament, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce immediately took the lead in reorganizing the Hanyeping Company after the Nationalist Army entered Hubei, first separating the Pingxiang Coal Mine, Daye Iron Mine, and Hanyang Iron Works separately, and guiding wealthy domestic businessmen to invest in them. As for the huge amount of capital owed by the merchants, although Huaxia Bank was ready to bear it with all its might, it said that in order to ensure the supply of iron ore for Yawata Steel, it rejected this proposal. At this time, China did not turn its face on a large scale with the people, so the Nanjing Republican Axe had to endure this kind of thing and let Daye Iron Mine continue to perform the contract. On the other hand, the reorganized Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant and Pingxiang Coal Mine have been upgraded to expand production.

In addition to the steel base in Hubei, it is also preparing to carry out prospecting in other parts of the country.

The industry associated with steel is coal, and the main coal bases in China are the Pingxiang Coal Mine and the Kailuan Coal Mine in Tangshan and some coal mines in other provinces. However, most of the coal used by the heavy industry enterprises under Huaxia Bank, especially the Southeast Iron and Steel Company, comes from the Kailuan Coal Mine in the north and the Pingxiang Coal Mine in Jiangxi and some small coal mines in the southeast provinces, and now China's industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for coal is also increasing rapidly, and the amount of coal consumed by the Southeast Iron and Steel Company alone every year is an extremely terrifying number, in order to provide sufficient coal for the three iron and steel plants under the Southeast Iron and Steel Company, in addition to increasing the output of coal in Pingxiang, Jiangxi and the output of Kailuan Coal Mine in Tangshan, The Department of Mines under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is supporting and encouraging capital investment in the construction of other coal mines to expand coal production.

After all, now the heavy industry system of the national army has slowly started, in addition to the steel this coal elimination outdoors, other shipping, trains and Fule Electric's thermal power generation need a large amount of coal, such as Fule Electric is also a large coal consumer among many heavy industry enterprises in the national army, Fule Electric Co., Ltd. as China's only large-scale electrical industry manufacturer, the design of products include insulated wires and cables, electric lights and even light switches and other power-related products, in addition to the development and production of radio equipment and wired communication equipment, Including wireless telegraph, wired telegraph, corded telephone, etc. As the largest power supplier in China and even the largest in Asia, the power grid of Föhl Electric has completed the infrastructure construction in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and other large cities, and has spent a lot of money to build power grids, hydroelectric power plants and thermal power plants, which provide a large amount of industrial electricity for factories in the above cities.

At present, 80% of the power generation of Fule Electric comes from thermal power generation, so the coal consumption of Fule Electric is also huge.

In order to cope with the growing demand for coal in domestic industry, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce's Department of Mining has prepared to expand production in several major coal-producing areas in China in order to increase coal production.

In addition, there are other projects such as the chemical industry, such as the development of rare metals, and the specific project is to increase the construction of fertilizer plants, and increase the output of tungsten ore in Jiangxi, and strive to make China's tungsten ore output climb to more than ninety percent of the world's output.

In addition, there is the oil industry, the refinery built 20 miles north of Shanghai has started construction in the first half of the year, which is designed to refine 500,000 tons of crude oil refinery per year, the refinery has completed the main infrastructure work, although the installation and commissioning of the main equipment has not been completed, but has begun a small number of experiments surnamed refining, it is expected that the second half of next year will reach half of the design output, and the next year can really reach the annual refining target of 500,000 tons.

The crude oil needed is mainly imported from Southeast Asia, and the newly established Chinese oil company has already entered into a commercial contract with Shell to import crude oil, and is also preparing to import some oil from the United States. The main purpose of the establishment of this oil refinery and even the development of the oil industry is to provide heavy fuel oil for the navy and aviation gasoline for the air force, which is a serious national defense industry project, and for this purpose, it has been jointly supported by the navy and the air force from the beginning, and the navy has already advanced up to 100,000 yuan to support the construction of the oil refinery without even seeing a drop of oil produced by the refinery.

In addition, considering that even if an oil refinery is established, once a war breaks out with the enemy, especially this country, then the way to import crude oil from overseas will be cut off, which in addition to the naval navy reserves a large amount of strategic oil, the navy has also provided a lot of funds for the exploration of domestic oil resources, and has achieved certain results, a navy-funded oil exploration team has found traces of oil in the Jianghan area, and is preparing to carry out deeper drilling exploration, if it can really successfully produce a large amount of oil, Then it can alleviate China's dependence on imported oil to a certain extent. The navy will be able to use oil as power more confidently, rather than struggling with better fuel power or be conservative and continue to use coal.

Industries such as steel, coal, petroleum, chemicals, and light textiles are all included in the second phase of the industrial development plan, and in order to better develop the national economy in the world war, Ma Yinchu has solemnly stated to Chen Jingyun the necessary surname to limit military spending.

At present, although the military expenditure of the navy, land, and air force together accounts for 50 percent of the traditional financial expenditure, in fact, the military expenditure support is far more than that, and the funds from loans, special taxes on tobacco, and national debts are basically invested in military spending, and if all the funds are added up, then the current military expenditure is enough to account for more than 80 percent of all fiscal revenues. And this proportion is too high even for a China in the midst of a civil war.

"If the second phase of the industrial development plan is to be successfully implemented, the proportion of our military spending must be controlled below 50 percent from next year, so that the government can free up enough funds to support the development of industry and commerce and invest in education." Ma Yinchu didn't pay any attention to the angry glare of Shen Gang, a military boss.

Instead, he continued to say to Chen Jingyun: "According to the forecast of the Development Department, if next year's fiscal revenue can reach the level of 550 million yuan, then the proportion of military spending can be further reduced, and if possible, it is best to control it below 40 percent!" ”

As soon as Ma Yin finished speaking, Shen Gang spoke: "In any case, the proportion of 41 percent is impossible, nearly half of the military spending that is going to be cut in the second half of this year still needs to be advanced for next year's military expenditure, and if we control the southwest region of the country next year, it is bound to have to expand the army by more than five divisions to effectively ensure the control of the southwest region, in addition to this, our army must continue to launch a campaign to eliminate domestic bandits and private armed forces, and increase the construction of local garrisons. If the military budget is too small, these tasks will not be accomplished in any case! ”

On the other hand, the navy's boss Sa Zhenbing also spoke: "The navy's regular expenses do not need to be raised too much, and it is enough to increase them by 20 percent to about 8 million according to this year's ratio, but next year's special shipbuilding funds must not be deducted, and the Admiralty has already issued orders to Jiangnan Shipyard, Mawei Shipyard and other related factories, so this money cannot be saved." In addition, although our navy does not require the same scale as the navy, in order to be able to effectively defend China's coastal areas and launch attacks on the navy in wartime, our navy is already planning the first phase of the navy's development plan, so the navy's military expenditure cannot be much less! ”

Chen Jingyun heard the conversation of these people, waved his hand and motioned for them to suppress the topic first, because he knew that no matter what the meeting, as long as the financial budget and military spending were talked about, then Shen Gang and Sa Zhenbing of the military would not hesitate to fight back, and then the people in the civilian system were also clamoring for a reduction in military spending, and the quarrel would be endless.

The theme of today's meeting is not next year's military budget, but this year's military budget, and to be precise, how to raise war funds for the war against the warlords in the southwest in the near future.

To fight Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting, it is not just Chen Jingyun who can give an order casually, and the military mobilization is carried out together with the replenishment of a large number of combat materials, and to put it bluntly, it requires a lot of money spent in vain......

The previous military budget for 1914, especially the army's military budget, was mainly aimed at fighting against the Beiyang Army, and last year did not consider saying that in the second half of 1914, there would be a full-scale civil war in Qingdao, so in this case, Chen Jingyun had a headache for the war expenses needed for a new round of national civil war.

An Hualin, the general manager of the Ministry of Finance, who had not spoken much, coughed at this time: "For next year's budget, the Ministry of Finance also made a forecast some time ago, and in general, the problem of income of more than 500 million yuan is still not big, and if the southwestern provinces can be harvested, in addition, the tariffs will be raised, and it is not impossible to reach 600 million yuan by then." According to the development needs of domestic industry and commerce and the investment in education, the investment in this area will be greatly increased next year, but the increase in military spending on the military side is also an actual demand, so the opinion of the Ministry of Finance is to reissue the treasury bonds and see if it can borrow a part of the foreign debt! ”

The Ministry of Finance's opinion is very simple: since they all want money and they don't have it in their own hands, then they should borrow it, and as long as they survive the past two years, the financial situation will naturally ease.

Anwarin continued: "As for cutting the war expenses of the feudal domain, we can predict a part of the military expenditure next year, and in addition, we can temporarily issue a part of the bonds, and strive to raise about 40 million war expenses!" ”

These 40 million are already a small amount, and if you want to let the hundreds of thousands of national troops sweep away the southwestern provinces, the ammunition money alone is more than this amount, but now it is at a critical financial juncture, and the army also has some ammunition reserves, so we will use the reserve ammunition to stare at first, and the 40 million is only to replenish part of the ammunition, as for how to solve the remaining gap, then we can only rely on next year's military spending to fill this gap.

The military also agrees to this solution, but the military will never agree to reduce military spending in next year's budget after advancing next year's military spending.

When Shen Gang of the Army fought a war of words with Ma Yinchu and Hong Zitai of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for the sake of the army's military expenses, the actions of the Nationalist Army did not stop because of this, although the military budget was tight, but it did not mean that there would be no war without money for a while, the army still had some foundation accumulated over the years, and the large amount of ammunition reserves that had been reserved by using hundreds of millions of yuan in war funds during the Northern Expedition War was also quite a lot.

On October 12, the Ninth Division of the Nationalist Army entered Shanxi Province, and engaged thousands of people in Shanxi in the Yangquan area, in this battle, Yan Xishan's mixed brigade of more than 4,000 Jin Sui troops resisted for two days, and was completely defeated by the Ninth Division of the Nationalist Army, and the Jin Sui Army only left more than 1,000 people to break through to the west, with 1,000 casualties, and more than 1,000 prisoners.

After getting off to a good start, the Ninth Division continued to advance towards Taiyuan, while several other units of the Nationalist Army also marched to Shanxi from several other directions.

On 14 October, Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting issued a joint telegram, claiming that the republican political axe of Nanjing had violated the republican spirit put forward by Sun Wen and demanded the restoration of the Republic of China, and that the provisional constitution of the Republic of China was an illegal product, and demanded that Chen Jingyun restore the provisional constitution proposed by Sun Wen in the year of Xinhai.

And with the slogan of 'protecting the country', he announced his separation from the jurisdiction of the central political axe in Nanjing, and at the same time invited Sun Wen, who was still in exile, to return to China to preside over the overall situation! Not to mention that Sun Wen, Huang Xing and others in the book couldn't sleep happily after hearing the news, but said that the situation in the country was chaotic because of the Tang and Lu joint defense of the country this time.

After the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and the three provinces of Guangxi announced the power of reading, Duan Zhigui of Sichuan followed up with a telegram announcing the separation from the rule of the central political axe of Nanjing, and at this time, Yan Xishan, who had been under the city of Taiyuan by the national army, could not wait to publicly announce that Shanxi was separated from the rule of the central political axe of Nanjing, and then Lu Jianzhang of Shaanxi also announced his separation from the rule of the republican political axe of Nanjing.

On October 15, the day after Tang and Lu jointly signed a telegram to protect the constitution, the four major warlords of China and Lu Jianzhang had jointly announced that they had already announced their reading.

On October 16th, the political axe of the new Republic of China was announced, and the establishment of the protection ** to crusade against the Nanjing political axe, claiming that Chen Jingyun, a great warlord who reads talents, will never give up!

As early as the 14th, when Tang Lu issued a joint telegram to protect the country, the Dian Army and the Gui Army had concentrated a total of nearly 200,000 troops in Hunan to launch a full-scale surprise attack on Lin Chengkun's Fourth Army and Cao Kun's 30th Division stationed in Hunan!

A general battle with a total strength of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides is about to be staged in Hunan!
