Beiyang reactionaries

All of Europe is indeed ostracizing Jews.

But the countries that really took action and blatantly attacked the Jews were Germany, Italy, and Spain.However, there are many Jewish scholars in these countries.

Just look at Germany.

Since the Nazi Party took office, it began to attack the Jews and fired those Jewish scholars and Jewish engineers.The loss of faculty in German universities alone has reached nearly 40%.One-third of the former university professors in Germany were Jewish, and all of them lost their jobs.One can imagine the strength of Jewish scholars in German intellectual circles.All of these people have now lost their jobs.Except for the top group of people who left Germany, many people were unable to leave Germany and were trapped in Germany.

The Nazi Party persecuted the Jews so much, but neither the United Kingdom, the United States, nor France said anything.The same is true for China, which has never commented on this practice of the Nazi Party in public.

Because China and Germany have always been allies, Duan Xun will not criticize Germany as an ally for the sake of so-called morality.Therefore, China's absorption of Jewish elites is also carried out quietly.But now that World War II is about to start, Duan Xun doesn't care about that.It is ready to cast a wide net and bring in a large number of these Jewish elites.

Therefore, Chinese universities have made a lot of invitation letters, and the final invitation list is blank.Directly hand these invitation letters to Wei Chen's team and ask them to fill in their names.

As long as they are willing to come, fill in their names and stamp a stamp on it.

"Yes."

"clear."

"We must try our best to let these Jewish scholars feel our sincerity. Those blank invitation letters must be filled out carefully, so as not to confuse them. And these blank invitation letters must be kept well, preferably yourselves Take charge of it yourself, don't make it known to everyone."

"Yes."

"Tap-tap-"

"Boom boom boom——"

While the Wei Chen group was talking to Liu Wendao and Guo Taiqi, someone knocked on the door outside.

"ambassador."

"Come in."

The secretary of Wei Chen's group came in and said directly: "Ambassador, the news just came. The negotiators from Germany, Japan, and Italy concluded the negotiations today, and they should have signed some agreements. But what agreement was signed? It's not very clear yet."

"Oh, I see."

Wei Chen's team just nodded slightly, not interested in the agreements between Germany, Italy, and Japan.Because the Wei Chen team also participated in the first round of negotiations, he knew the general content.

Turning to Liu Wendao and Guo Taiqi, he said, "Go back as soon as possible and arrange the work below."

"Yes."

"You send a telegram to the country immediately, telling the country that the negotiations between Germany, Italy, and Japan are over."

"Yes."

"Prime Minister Liang (Liang Huankui), how about the problem of industrial talents?"

On May 1938, 5, Germany, Japan, and Italy signed the "Germany, Italy, and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty" in Berlin.All countries that pay attention to Germany know this, because Hitler has made too many moves in the past few years, and the world's powers are paying attention to Germany.Intelligence agencies in various countries are collecting information on Germany.

Although the movement of this meeting cannot be said to be very big, it cannot be concealed from the intelligence agencies of other countries at all.

Including China also participated in the meeting, but withdrew from the meeting in the middle of the meeting, and failed to hide it from the intelligence agencies of various countries.Because at the beginning, Wei Chen's team also participated in the meeting for a long time.But he suddenly withdrew in the middle, and never participated in the subsequent meetings.Although the intelligence agencies of various countries did not know what happened in the middle, they also knew that there must have been conflicts between China, Germany, Italy, and Japan during the meeting, so they did not participate in the subsequent meetings.

Now Germany, Italy, and Japan have concluded their negotiations and officially signed the "German-Italian-Japanese Alliance Treaty."However, except for some disclosures in this treaty, most of the terms are confidential terms.

But Duan Xun didn't care much.

Because Duan Xun can guess a lot of the content in it.That is, Germany and Italy support Japan's actions in Southeast Asia, and Japan supports Germany and Italy's interests in Europe. The signing of the "Germany, Italy and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty" was two years earlier than in history.Because compared with history, the interests of Germany and Japan are more consistent.

At this time in history, Japan is going all out to carry out the strategy of going north.

Japan's enemy is the Soviet Union, and it has always hoped to go to war with the Soviet Union.Japan's goal for half a century has been to occupy China's Manchurian and Mongolian regions and the Soviet Far East.But Germany's goal is to solve Britain and France and rule the European continent.Germany does not want to go to war with the Soviet Union, at least not now.

Because the goals of Germany and Japan are different, the alliance treaty between the two countries has not been signed.In history, Germany and Italy were the first to sign the treaty, and Japan did not participate in the "Alliance Treaty" until after 1940.

But now the situation is completely different.Japan's plan to go north was completely bankrupt ten years ago, so Japan's current idea is to control Nanyang.The biggest enemies who want to win Nanyang are Britain and France, including the United States, which currently controls the Philippines.So in this respect, the interests of Germany and Japan are the same, and the enemies of the two countries are also the same.Their common enemies are Britain and France, so the two sides successfully completed the alliance treaty.

With the signing of this alliance treaty, Duan Xun knew that war was imminent.

With this treaty, Germany, Italy and Japan can flank Britain and France on both sides.Germany went to war with British and French troops on the European continent, Italy attacked British and French colonies in North Africa, and Japan attacked British and French troops in Southeast Asia.This will definitely catch Britain and France by surprise, and even make them difficult to take care of.

One year, maybe just one year.

Duan Xun felt more and more urgent.So after hearing the news, Duan Xun is not only devoting himself to the military industry, but also trying to figure out China's real strength, its real industrial strength.Because of China's industrial strength, it will become military strength in times of war.Since the beginning of the First World War, the war between countries has no longer been a simple military contest, but has become a competition of comprehensive national strength.

What is comprehensive national strength?

Industrial strength, population size, land area, and resource reserves are all comprehensive national strength.

"Prime Minister, on the whole, the current shortage of talents in our country has been greatly alleviated, or it can be said that it has basically been solved. At present, the number of graduates from universities and junior colleges in our country is more than 120 million. Students who study abroad and graduated from foreign universities and colleges. More importantly, from this year onwards, the number of college graduates in China will reach 20 each year, and the current number of college students is 90. Up to four years, our universities There will be more than 200 million college graduates. In addition, China has vigorously developed technical secondary education and technical school education since the first five-year plan. There are 1440 million people, and there are about 500 million students in technical secondary schools and technical schools. The number of high school graduates has also reached 1200 million, and the number of high school students in schools is 600 million. Excluding these students, the number of junior high school graduates in China is already There are more than 6000 million people, and the number of primary school graduates exceeds [-] million. At present, there is no shortage of industrial engineers, technicians, and skilled workers that our country needs."

Since Duan Xun came to Beijing in 1920, he has always attached great importance to education.

Under the condition of weak foundation, the development of universities was suppressed, and the development of technical secondary schools and technical schools was emphasized.After nearly 20 years of development, the situation is still very good.The growth rate of the number of college graduates is relatively slow, but it is also much faster than the previous situation.It has been 40 years since the emergence of modern Chinese universities from the end of Qing Dynasty to the present. Over the past 40 years, the total number of college graduates in China, including those returning from studying abroad at public expense and at their own expense, totaled 120 million.The important thing is that the current annual enrollment of Chinese universities is more than 20, which has led to a steady increase in the number of college students in China.

Although the proportion is still too low compared to China's huge population, the development is still going smoothly.

Compared with college education, graduates of technical secondary schools and technical schools are completely different. In the past 20 years, China has trained nearly 1500 million graduates of technical secondary schools and technical schools.Technical secondary schools and technical schools, in fact, mainly cultivate two directions.

One is a teacher and the other is a technician.

There are quite a few normal universities in China, but at present, the teachers in primary and secondary schools in China are basically normal students from technical secondary schools, and the proportion is very high.And technical secondary schools and technical schools train a large number of technicians and send them to factories as technicians.Some who have learned well and have strong abilities will gradually become the main technical personnel of the factory.

China's technical secondary schools and technical schools are developing very fast, and the effect is also very good.According to the current situation, China will have more than 2000 million graduates from technical secondary schools and technical schools in three years.

"What's the problem?"

"Based on the scale of our country's industry, the number of graduates from universities, junior colleges, technical secondary schools, and technical schools that graduate each year is enough for us to use. Not to mention that a large number of high school and junior high school graduates will also flood into the society every year, all of which are effective. Supplement the personnel needed by our country's industrial development. In fact, what we lack now is higher-level technical personnel. Our country's industrial development time is still too short, and the education development time is also short, so we lack those leading figures in the technical field. We are currently Many of the technicians we have are too young and have very little experience. It still takes a certain amount of time for them to become industry leaders and senior engineers."

Liang Huankui talked about the current problems of China's industry.

During the first five-year plan and the second five-year plan, China's basic technical personnel were seriously insufficient.As a result, during the second five-year plan, the Ministry of Industry transferred a large number of technical personnel from the military.

But it's different now.

At present, China's technical secondary schools and technical schools have more than 150 million graduates each year, and more than 20 college graduates.In addition, high school graduates and junior high school graduates entering the society will greatly supplement the shortage of talents.Although these people who have just walked out of school need a period of time to adapt, they all need to learn a lot of other things.However, because these people are knowledgeable and educated, they can quickly become qualified technicians within two or three years as long as they adapt briefly.Therefore, China's Ministry of Industry currently has no shortage of junior technical personnel.

What is missing?

Is a senior technical staff.From the first Five-Year Plan to the Second Five-Year Plan, most of the senior technicians and senior engineers of China's major projects are technicians from foreign powers.The chief engineers of many large-scale projects in China are foreign technicians.Even many senior engineers in China's military factories are experts from great powers.

"This still needs to be cultivated by you. What we can do is to introduce more engineers. But if we want to truly meet the needs of our country's industrial development, we can only train more of our own engineers so that they can take on the heavy burden as soon as possible. Important. In some key projects, arrange those young technicians next to foreign experts. Even if you are serving tea and water to those foreign experts, you must follow them and learn from them. I see you and the Ministry of Education, Industry Discuss with the Ministry to see if some short-term training courses can be held. Every year, some knowledgeable, capable and experienced young engineers are selected for deeper training.”

"We'll have some plans for that."

"Well. Also, those international students studying abroad. If those people have a good job abroad, especially if they enter some important research units or participate in some important projects. Then even if they are public-funded international students, they can Stay abroad for a few more years, so you don’t have to rush to call them back. Let them learn more abroad and accumulate more experience. This way, they can make more contributions when they come back.”
