Beiyang reactionaries

Lu Xuzhang is very studious.

Not only does it do a good job in accounting, but it also has a good set of logistics management.When he was an accountant, he designed a cost reduction plan for the shipping company, which was not only affirmed by the leaders of the shipping company, but also valued by the leaders of China Merchants.Because the set of methods he proposed can reduce the cost by nearly 15% if it is adopted by various units under the China Merchants Group.Therefore, when he was 19 years old, China Merchants recommended Lu Xuzhang to enter Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Now the college entrance examination is standardized, but each university still has some places left.In particular, provincial universities, universities affiliated to the Ministry, and universities affiliated to large enterprises will reserve a certain number of places.This is left to the provinces, the ministries, or those within the large corporations themselves.The same is true for military academies. In addition to the open enrollment for the college entrance examination, some places will be reserved for candidates recommended by various troops.Although the proportion of reserved places is gradually decreasing, there are still quite a few remaining.This is the case with the normalization of the college entrance examination now. Lu Xuzhang was in the era when the college entrance examination was still a time when each university set its own questions and recruited students by itself.

Shanghai Jiaotong University, its predecessor has a deep relationship with China Merchants.In the early years, Sheng Xuanhuai, the boss of China Merchants, proposed the establishment, and China Merchants paid the first sum of money.Therefore, China Merchants has a recommendation quota from Shanghai Jiaotong University every year.

Lu Xuzhang mainly studied management and accounting at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

At that time, Shanghai Jiaotong University had 12 research groups, including management research groups and accounting research groups.No one expected that Lu Xuzhang had excellent grades in both the management research group and the accounting research group.In addition, Lu Xuzhang's English is very good, so he was taken by Lu Zuofu of the Foreign Trade Bureau and transferred to the Foreign Trade Bureau.What kind of unit is China Merchants? It is one of the top government enterprises in China.

China Merchants is the largest shareholder of China Merchants Bank and the largest shareholder of Far East Shipping Company. It owns the most ports in China. The shipping company directly under China Merchants ranks first in both freight and passenger transportation in China.

Prominent.

How can I suffer from such a dumb thing.China Merchants has always been robbing people. When did someone come to China Merchants to rob people.Fortunately, Lu Zuofu knew how to be a man, and he was familiar with many senior executives of China Merchants, so this matter was calmed down.

Lu Xuzhang has been working in the Bureau of Foreign Trade since then.

Performed very well.Knows English, management, and accounts. After working in the Foreign Trade Bureau for five years, he returned to China Merchants and was responsible for the establishment of China Merchants' domestic transportation company and responsible for freight.

In just three years, the transportation company has become another pillar industry of China Merchants.

For the establishment of the Overseas Investment Bureau, Zhuang Xiquan recommended Lu Xuzhang, who works for China Merchants.It was Zhuang Xiquan and Lu Xuzhang who came to Australia to receive several minerals from the United Kingdom and appraise them.

Lu Xuzhang has been appointed as the Australian head of the Overseas Investment Bureau.

Don't think it's just the person in charge of Australia, but the status is actually very high.Because the main goal of the establishment of the Overseas Investment Bureau is Australia, which means that the main overseas work of the Overseas Investment Bureau is in charge of Lu Xuzhang.

For a young man who is only 30 years old, this is already a very big reuse.But it was also because he was too young, that's why Zhuang Xiquan came here in person.

"Old Zhuang, Australia is much more orderly than expected."

As soon as he walked out of the city hall, Lu Xuzhang spoke to Zhuang Xiquan.

Two people just got the "franchise".In order to obtain the "franchise", it cannot be said that it belongs to the Chinese government.So the Overseas Investment Bureau established the "Asian Mining Group" in Shanghai, and then obtained the "franchise" in the name of this company.

"Yes. It should not be so easy for Japan to win Australia."

Very surprised.

Japan had just won a big victory in the Coral Sea and beat up the U.S. Navy who came to support it.Although Japan's plan to attack Darwin Port was postponed because of the disruption of the United States.

But this time Japan postponed the attack on Darwin Port, but it will be able to organize an attack next time.Because in New Guinea, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage.After solving some ports in northern Australia, Japan will inevitably continue to go south and take down the ports in southern Australia.

Australia will be very dangerous at that time.

But there is no panic in Australia.Those businessmen who do business in Australia are looking for opportunities to run away one by one.But Australia's own people are very stable.

"Commissioner Lu (Lu Xuzhang), do you have confidence in Australia?"

"Before I came to Australia, I just got some news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I was not completely sure. But after seeing the situation in Australia these days, I think it will be very difficult for Japan to take Australia. I also saw the military According to Fang’s report, Australia’s 10 troops fought very well in Illian Island (New Guinea). If it weren’t for the drag of the navy, it would be a question whether Japan could occupy all of Illian Island. Now Australia has formed such a There are so many new troops, I think it will definitely not be so easy for Japan to win Australia."

Lu Xuzhang was really surprised.

Looking at the army's bulletin before, Lu Xuzhang just thought that the Australian army's combat effectiveness was strong.Now that I have seen the situation in Australia with my own eyes, I am so calm and composed, I know that Australia is really not to be underestimated.Lu Xuzhang judged that it would be very difficult for Japan to conquer Australia.

"Your view is the same as Beijing's. The Overseas Investment Bureau puts Australia as the first target of investment, because Australia is currently under the threat of war, resulting in a sluggish economy and low prices for various assets. But Australia resisted fiercely. , It is very difficult for Japan to win Australia. Commissioner Lu, after dealing with the matter here, I will go back. Director Chen (Tan Kah Kee) said that the Investment Bureau will not interfere with your investment in Australia. But after the investment, You have to give the Investment Bureau a detailed report."

"Yes."

"Young people, Australia is just a small stage. As long as you have achievements here, the future world stage will be waiting for you."

685

"Good, not bad."

Duan Xun was simply concerned about the establishment of the Overseas Investment Bureau.Approved the appointment of Tan Kah Kee, director of the Overseas Investment Bureau recommended by the cabinet, and Zhuang Xiquan, deputy director of the Overseas Investment Bureau.After that, Duan Xun didn't have time or energy to take care of the specific things.

These matters are specifically managed by the cabinet.

Duan Xun is concerned about the development of the world situation.The most brutal Battle of Stalingrad in the history of the Soviet-German War broke out.Germany is really desperate to solve Stalingrad and win the oil fields in the Caucasus.Only by capturing the oil fields in the Caucasus can Germany be able to solve the situation of oil shortage.Similarly, the Soviet Union is desperate.

Stalingrad is an important place for transportation. Once the material movement of the entire Soviet Union is lost, there will be problems.Such an important strategic location of Stalingrad led to the brutality of the Battle of Stalingrad.

So both sides are desperate.

Both sides gathered 300 million troops in Stalingrad.

Flesh Mill.

Stalingrad is a real mill of flesh and blood, far more tragic than the original Moscow battle.After the outbreak of the Battle of Stalingrad, there was basically no complete place in the city of Stalingrad.There is no industry in Stalingrad either, because the factories have been bombed to pieces.However, the Soviet army is still sacrificing its life and forgetting to die. After fighting part of it, another part will be added.In order to keep Stalingrad, the Soviet Union sent a steady stream of recruits to the front line, which made it difficult to keep Stalingrad.

Stalin has no energy to take care of other things now. For him, keeping Stalingrad and defeating the "heinous" German army is the biggest task of the Soviet Union at present.If the Soviet Union cannot stop Germany, the entire Soviet Union will be destroyed.Which is more important, Stalin saw clearly.Therefore, after the negotiations between Mikoyan and Wang Jingwei were over, Stalin simply read the content and signed the agreement.

When the news reached Beijing, Duan Xun was really excited.

Originally won the Outer Northeast, China has interrupted most of the Soviet Union's Far East dream.Now that the Khabarovsk Territory, Magadan Oblast, Kamchatka, and the Kuril Islands have been captured, the Soviet Union has completely lost its motivation to develop the Far East.The Far East has completely become the seat of the Soviet Union.

And for China, with this place, the situation will be very different.

With the Kamchat California, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, and those ports in North Korea, after the reunification of North Korea, the ports in the south of the Korean peninsula, and if Taiwan is taken back, China will directly pinch Japan's neck.No matter what Japan wants to do in the future, it can only look at China's face.

In terms of military affairs, Japan will not be able to escape the palm of China in the future.As for the Pacific Ocean, with the survey of California and the Thousand Islands, the Chinese Navy can face the North Pacific.With Taiwan, the Chinese military can face the South Pacific directly.In the future in the Pacific, China will be able to compete with the United States.

And with a direct access to the North Pacific Ocean, the economy in Northeast China will be active.Not to mention, of course, this is more than 300 million square kilometers of land.During Duan Xun's term of office, China's land area was pushed to about 1700 million square kilometers.Almost the size of the Soviet Union that lost these places.Since ancient times, the expansion of territory has been the most praiseworthy achievement.

So Duan Xun was very happy.

The terms of the other two aspects are also good. Wang Jingwei has obtained enough benefits for China.After the materials from the United States arrive at the ports in Northeast China, China will use its own railway system to help transport the materials.

The United States passed the "Lend-Lease Act", and these materials in the United States can be borrowed or rented.But there is no such bill in China, China only recognizes money.With so many materials using Chinese railways, how can we do it without giving money.

"Send a telegram to Vice Chairman Wang, saying that we agree to this agreement. But we want a formal treaty. A treaty confirming the boundary line between the two sides, and then we will announce it together."

"Yes."

Chen Bulei wrote down Duan Xun's order, and then handed the order document to the person next to him.

He immediately sent a telegram with this document, while Chen Bulei continued to stay in the conference room to attend the meeting.After completing this treaty with the Soviet Union, the border dispute between China and the Soviet Union will be completely ended.In other words, from China's point of view, the border issue has been completely resolved.Of course, the Soviet Union will not be convinced in the future, and it will provoke border issues with China. That is a matter of the future.But Duan Xun was not afraid.

It is impossible for the Soviet Union to have much foothold in the Far East.

Compared with China's Northeast, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, they all have a large population.But there will not be many people in the Soviet Far East.The situation in the Far East is already irreversible for the Soviet Union, unless the Soviet Union wants to go to war with China.So Duan Xun didn't care about the Soviet Union.

"Chairman, Siam (Thailand) Prime Minister Luang Phibun Songkhram, hopes to visit Beijing and meet with the chairman. Siam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked us what we mean. How to answer them, I hope the chairman will give instructions."
