"The Propaganda Department must increase its control over ideology, and prevent all potential harms in the slightest. At the same time, it must take an active offensive. We must not let people who worship foreigners and have bad intentions control the right to speak."

"Don't worry, Marshal, I'm going to make a specific plan and deploy the work direction now!" Shao Piaoping left hastily.

Fengjun searched the Lund Cathedral. This explosive incident cannot be concealed from the public opinion. Fengtian's Chinese and foreign reporters all took action to find out what was going on. At this moment, a piece of news spread. Well, the Lund Church is devoid of conscience. It is called adopting children, but it is actually selling children. Many children died tragically at their hands.

When everyone didn't know whether the news was true or not, a few coolies who had worked for the church suddenly stood up. They took reporters and ordinary citizens to the mass graves outside the city. After touching a piece of land, I immediately saw the skeletons of many children, some were completely rotten, and some were still emitting a bad smell.

"Men and gentlemen, the people in the church put the corpses of the children in their pockets, and transported them out in the dark every three days or so. All of them were dead children. We have carried them out over the past few years, and there are hundreds of them. many."

Seeing these corpses, everyone was extremely angry, the church's hypocrisy was completely torn off, and the foreign religion suddenly became the most despised place for the people of Fengtian. Those who originally joined the foreign religion all became street rats. Everyone shouted and beat them.

And this news is still spreading, news of other churches doing evil has also been spread, more and more people have cut off from the church, and various demonstrations have also appeared, and suddenly there is a feeling that the mountain is about to come. situation.

Now the big powers can’t sit still anymore. They all have the right to preach in China. Once shaken, the interests of all countries in China will be threatened. They can’t sit still anymore. The envoys of the United States, Britain and France can only find Zhang Tinglan again.

But at this time Zhang Tinglan had already left Fengtian and returned to the front line again, and Gu Weijun, who was in charge of diplomacy, received them.

"Ministers, the issue of the Lund Church must be dealt with, and blood debts must be settled. Of course, we don't want the matter to expand. If countries can help us build a hydropower station, I believe the Chinese people are still willing to accept your sincerity!"

Chapter 578 Zhang Tinglan's tricks

Grasping the handle of the church, Fengjun has an extra good card in his hand, but how to make the most of this card needs to be carefully weighed. What they want from the West, the bottom line they can agree to is Where, this needs to be carefully estimated, and a good card cannot be wasted.

At first, Shao Piaoping and others suggested using this as an excuse to shake up the various privileges of the West in China, and even amend the treaty to regain the power of tariffs and so on.These propositions are very attractive, but they were rejected by Wang Yongjiang during the discussion.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the asking price is too high. Once the power of the great powers in China is mobilized, it is tantamount to killing their lifeblood. These guys will not agree.And just a Lund church, although a lot of criminal evidence was found, but if the big powers refuse to admit it, Fengjun has no good way. They can't search the churches one by one, or they will only tear themselves apart with the West.

Maybe they will use the banner of religion to put pressure on Fengjun together. Some things are not enough just to be reasonable.

After several considerations, Guo Zongxi finally put forward a new suggestion, which is to let Westerners help build a hydropower station, focusing on real economic benefits.Guo Zongxi is the governor of Jilin Province and knows the situation in Jilin very well.

The upper reaches of the Songhua River, originating from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, have a large drop, sufficient water volume, and rich hydraulic resources. It is the most suitable place for building hydropower stations in the three eastern provinces.At present, the power generation in the three northeastern provinces mainly relies on thermal power generation.However, the scale of the power stations is very limited, and several large arsenals all have to provide their own power stations.

With the rapid development of industries in the three northeastern provinces, the demand for electricity is increasing, and the gap is also growing.This side is a huge demand, and the other side is the river flowing away, which makes people feel very distressed.

It's not that Feng Jun has never thought about building a power station by himself.But there are gaps in every way.Without professional design talents, without the ability to produce large-scale hydroelectric power generation equipment, and without experience in damming large rivers, Guo Zongxi and the others can only look at the water and sigh.

However, an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, and it happened that the power station could be repaired with the help of western technology.After this suggestion was made.Zhang Tinglan's eyes suddenly brightened. In the original history, there was also a famous hydropower station on the Songhua River, and that was the Fengman Hydropower Station built by the Japanese!

In 1936, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command twice ordered the puppet "Manchukuo" supported by it to step forward and build a 5-kilowatt Fengman Hydropower Station on the Songhua River within five years. Planning of hydroelectric power plants.

The dam was impounded in 1942.By March 43, 3, the first unit was put into operation for power generation.It was the largest hydropower station in Asia at that time.In order to build this hydropower station, Chinese laborers paid a heavy price.At that time, the Japanese cheated and recruited a large number of laborers from North and Northeast China by lying about the place of work or fabricating preferential treatment.

It is known that from 1937 to 1941.The Japanese invaders cheated a total of 11 people from the pass.In addition, the Japanese also surrendered the security supplementary team, apportioned labor in the Northeast, and used prisoners.It can be said that there is nothing to do.According to a labor statistics book of the Northeast Hydropower Bureau during the Puppet Manchukuo period, about 20 laborers participated in the construction of the dam at that time.An average of 1 to 1.2 laborers worked on the dam every day, with peaks of 1.8.

It is not known how many Chinese workers were exhausted and frozen to death. The Japanese alone admitted that there were more than 5000 people.In the ditch next to the hydropower station, there are three natural ditches over 100 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. Countless Chinese laborers were abandoned or buried shallowly.Back then, due to the excessive number of laborers, the bones of the dead covered the wild, and it became a desolate and terrifying world where wild dogs devoured corpses, which is also the famous plump mass grave!

There is no doubt that the Fengman Hydropower Station was built with the blood and bones of Chinese workers, but it has to be said that the Fengman Hydropower Station is of great significance to China.The Japanese designed installed capacity at the beginning was 56 KVA. Since the Fengman Hydropower Station was only 80.00% completed until the Japanese were defeated, it is not clear how much the total power generation capacity can reach.

However, according to the data of later generations in China, the annual stable power generation can reach more than 27 billion quintillion hours. possible.

And just in 1936, the total power generation capacity in China's customs was only about 30 billion kwh, which was just equivalent to that of the Japanese colony of Korea.At this time, if Western technology is fully adopted, the scale and technical level of the Fengman Hydropower Station will definitely surpass the Japanese.

A single hydropower station can exceed the total power generation of the country. With such a treasure, it will definitely be able to stably supply the electricity needs of Jilin, Changchun, Harbin and other places, and the development of the North Manchuria region will have a promising future.

Hydropower stations can not only provide clean, sufficient, and cheap electricity, but also regulate flood peaks, alleviate floods and droughts, and provide irrigation for farmland on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. All these functions are simply difficult to measure with money.In the later generations, the three eastern provinces became the key investment locations for China's initial industrial construction. In addition to having sufficient natural resources, the existence of the Fengman Hydropower Station also added a lot of points.

As long as the hydropower station is built, the industrial level of the entire three northeastern provinces will climb to a new level. By then, a truly complete industrial system will take shape.

In normal times, the big powers would not easily help Fengjun build such a hydropower station, but now is this golden opportunity. After thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan finally decided to build the Fengman Hydropower Station in exchange.

When Gu Weijun told Fengjun's plan, the envoys of the three countries frowned when they heard this. The scale of this hydropower station is too large, which has exceeded their acceptable range.

"Gu, in order to build such a huge hydropower station, at least hundreds of millions of dollars are needed. We simply cannot afford it. This is an unreasonable request." Eston said loudly.

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "We don't need to contribute all the capital, as long as you help design, supervise the construction, and provide power generation equipment. As for the funds needed for the equipment, we can repay the funds from the hydropower station. In fact, this can be regarded as a It is a win-win cooperation. We know very well that the United States has built a large number of hydropower stations in the Mississippi River Basin, with mature experience and technology. If we can reach a cooperation on the Fengman Hydropower Station, we will build hydropower stations under Fengjun’s rule in the future. They will give priority to purchasing equipment, which is a huge market.”

When Klein heard this, he was completely moved. He was worried that because of the church problem, the Chinese people would become hostile to foreigners, and their economic interests would suffer huge losses. However, if they could maintain cooperation on the hydropower station, they would Lost economic benefits will be made up.

"I think it's a good proposal and the U.S. government will consider it."

The envoys of Britain and France also glanced at each other. This request is not bad. In fact, there is no economic loss for them. On the contrary, if they do well, they will earn a lot of benefits.

Therefore, Eston also said: "We will all consider it, but I hope Fengjun can calm the public opinion as soon as possible, and stop damaging the image of those kind missionaries."

Gu Weijun said: "I can only guarantee that the government will not come forward to criticize, but there are some voices from the people, and we have nothing to do. Therefore, we suggest that we still need to adopt a missionary management method. Free missionaryism does not mean that missionaries can do evil, and they are also subject to supervision. .”

The three ministers knew they were wrong, so they could only get up and leave. Gu Weijun reported the negotiation situation to Wang Yongjiang, and Wang Yongjiang also showed joy on his face.

"To build the dam this time, we not only need to have the largest hydropower station in Asia, but also learn the technology of designing and constructing hydropower stations. We have to draw out the real skills from foreigners to lay the foundation for our own construction of hydropower stations in the future. The power will be sufficient. The economy of the three provinces is about to take off."

At this time, Yuan Jinkai came in with another person. After seeing Wang Yongjiang, he smiled and said, "Brother Minyuan, this is Mr. Wu Tongju, who is also an expert in water conservancy. We don't know how to ask foreigners to help us build hydropower stations." He couldn't do it, so I invited him over."

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he also looked at Wu Tongju excitedly. He was about 50 to [-] years old, with a short build and a simple and honest face.Wang Yongjiang and Yuan Jinkai introduced the situation to him and talked about building a hydropower station on the Songhua River.

Wu Tongju suddenly showed a trace of guilt, and hurriedly said: "Governor Wang, Yuan Shenshu, I am really engaged in water conservancy, but my main research is on building dams, flood control and irrigation. Although I know a little about building hydropower stations, I have no practice. Basically I'm afraid I can't help you as a layman?"

"Mr. Wu, do you know that there are such experts in China?"

Wu Tongju shook his head with difficulty: "Governor Wang, the top science and engineering talents in China are all in Fengtian. I really can't find such experts, ashamed!"

"Mr. Wu, I don't need you to participate. Can the supervisor alone do it? After all, the great powers have too many thoughts, and there is no trustworthy person watching. I'm afraid they will cheat during the construction!"

"Interlaced lines are like mountains. Hydropower stations will be used for decades, or even hundreds of years. All aspects need to be considered, especially as the technical level improves, and the main engine needs to be replaced. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, we must leave room for it, but we do not know how to do it. , if the big powers don’t let us stay, or cause trouble, and when they update in the future, they will beat us hard, it will be bad. In addition, such as construction period, cost, equipment, etc., all need professional talents, otherwise If you want to suffer and be deceived, Wu knows the importance of hydropower stations, but I really don't have the ability!"

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and finally let the great powers let go, but if he has no professional talents and a good thing turns into a bad thing, then it will be self-defeating.

When they were at a loss, the secretary suddenly ran over: "Governor Wang, the commander-in-chief has sent a telegram for you to have a look at it yourself!"

Chapter 579 The Russians Counterattack

Yuan Jinkai looked at Wang Yongjiang, and saw that he couldn't help but smile while looking at the telegram.

"Minyuan, did Zhuoyan come up with some good ideas?"

"That's right!" Wang Yongjiang laughed loudly: "Zhuoyan is really thoughtful. He asked us to go to Germany to find a group of experts as consultants, and let the Germans help review the plan and formulate the plan. We can send another supervision team here. , I think Mr. Wu can take on this task, right?"

Wu Tongju nodded, but he asked suspiciously: "Governor Wang, since we can invite German experts to directly provide technology and participate in the construction, isn't it all right? Let me watch it again, isn't it a little unnecessary?" !"

Yuan Jinkai smiled and shook his head at the side: "Mr. Wu, you take things too simply. Germany is a defeated country, and Western powers restrict Germany. According to the plan, our Fengman Hydropower Station is the largest in Asia. If the Germans participate, Both Britain and France will come forward and directly stir up scandals."

Wang Yongjiang also said: "That's right, we still have to hide those German experts and prevent them from meeting with the people sent by Britain, France and the United States. Otherwise, if they collude or Germany can't bear the pressure, they will join forces to deceive us. So we must The Germans hide, so that out of hatred, the Germans will be willing to help us and expose the potential deception of the Western countries."

Hearing Wang Yongjiang's explanation, Wu Tongju couldn't help but have red eyes: "Governor Wang, I have heard that Lan Shuai has always advocated hard work and opposed empty talk, and the industrial development of the three eastern provinces is the most effective. Until today, Wu It’s only when I truly understand your difficulty that you have to fight wits and courage with the great powers to develop something. It’s really not easy!”

Wang Yongjiang also took a deep breath. It is true that Fengjun has put in too much effort to get to where he is today. The initial industrial foundation was just a matter of stealing and robbing, and it was finally saved.The equipment and technicians are patchwork to achieve the immediate results.

"Hey, as long as the hydropower station is built and the power supply is sufficient, our development speed will be much faster. By then, it will be considered a positive result. It will be difficult to learn from the scriptures. It is not so easy to build a powerful country. ah!"
