Qiao Yu's special train is heading south. With the rumble of the train, Qiao Yu's mind is also ups and downs, confused. Can he bring such a huge country out of the trough of destiny?
Will the people win peace and happiness? Just like this long road, China has been sinking for hundreds of years, and it may take several generations of efforts to truly rise.
Not long after leaving bei jing, Lu Wanqing suddenly turned around and left Qiao Yu's carriage. Not long after, a little girl of five or six years old came in with her arms in her arms. This little girl was very fair and dressed in a floral skirt, looking sober.
Elegant, the little girl has a timid look on her face, her little head is pressed tightly against Lu Wanqing's chest, and her big watery eyes peek at Qiao Yu from time to time!
It was Qiao Yu's eldest daughter Qiao Rui who Lu Wanqing carried over. However, this little girl could only be regarded as an illegitimate daughter and could not really enter the Qiao family. Originally, Qiao Yu's time was very tight, and even Qiao Luan could not see her often.
We met, let alone Qiao Rui, an illegitimate daughter. Now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed of this daughter.
Qiao Yu hurriedly took his daughter from Lu Wanqing's arms. The daughter naturally lay in Qiao Yu's arms, holding Qiao Yu firmly in his arms with her two small hands.
"Thank you!" Qiao Yu gently kissed Lu Wanqing's cheek, making Lu Wanqing's face turn red.
"Shun Qing, why don't you let Sister Xue and Rui'er move to the Prime Minister's Office? I don't care about that. Seeing the child like this makes me feel sorry for her. As a father, you must spend time with your child.
!”
"Hey! Wan Qing, I couldn't help myself after entering the Prime Minister's Office. I don't care about reputation, but I don't want them to step into this circle of right and wrong. In the first few days, Zhu Qinglan suggested that I send Qiao Luan to the army to experience it.
After a while, their thoughts are no different from those of your father. I hope these children can have the ability to decide their own destiny and not become the target of political forces. Forget about such troubles!"
Qiao Yu carried Qiao Rui to the side of the huge sofa, took out a handful of exquisite candies, peeled off the wrapping paper with his own hands, and put it into Qiao Rui's mouth. The little girl usually had fine clothes and fine food, but her father personally
The candy given to me tasted extremely sweet, and a smile appeared on her face.
At this time, Qiao Luan also ran over from another carriage. The little guy was sweating profusely. Suddenly he saw an extra child in his father's arms. This was his own territory. He tilted his little head.
After taking a closer look at Qiao Rui, she seemed a bit aloof.
"Luan'er, this is the sister Qiao Rui I told you about, don't you remember?"
Sister? Qiao Luan's little head turned rapidly, as if he remembered something, and made a face at Qiao Rui, which made Qiao Rui burst into laughter. Soon there was no barrier between the children and they started playing together.

The special train went all the way south, first arriving in Guangzhou. Since the Battle of Northern Burma, overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia have returned to invest a lot. Guangdong and Fujian, because they are famous hometowns of overseas Chinese, have concentrated a large amount of overseas Chinese capital. Among them, Guangzhou has the largest scale, Qiao Yu
This trip to the south was also to give these Chinese people the confidence to boldly invest in industry in the motherland.
Of course, there are a large number of Chinese who have returned from overseas, and not many are qualified to meet with Qiao Yu. This time, the famous overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee came to see Qiao Yu in person, and he still values this patriotic overseas Chinese Qiao Yu very much.
"Mr. Chen, I have long heard that although you are in Nanyang, you do not forget the sufferings of your motherland and invest enthusiastically in education. It is really a blessing to the country!" Tan Kah Kee, who is in his forties, looks very energetic.
"Prime Minister, you have led China to rise again, giving hope to those of us who have been abandoned overseas. Over the years, overseas Chinese have accumulated a lot of bitterness. Without a strong motherland as a backer, we will always be bullied. Now
The motherland defeated the British, and we overseas wanderers can also listen to our waists!"
"Mr. Chen, the national team education reform was carried out some time ago, and private capital schools were controlled. The school you founded was also affected. Mr. Chen will not blame!"
"What did the Prime Minister say? Back then, I ran the school because the country did not have the capacity, and it was not for fame and fortune. Now that the country has taken over, it is naturally doing a much better job than I did. It is too late for me to be happy. China is lagging behind compared to the West.
In terms of education, I am very excited to see the Prime Minister’s investment in education. With your leadership, the country has hope!”
"I'm very happy that Mr. Chen thinks so. I heard that you have quite a few rubber plantations in Nanyang, right?"
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. Indeed, there are some, but due to various restrictions from the local government, it is always difficult to develop!"
"Then move to China. Now that the automobile industry is developing rapidly, the demand for rubber is increasing, and it is also needed domestically. I am going to build some rubber gardens around Hainan Island. If you can become the first batch of rubber plantation owners
, the country will definitely provide preferential treatment!”
Rubber is an out-and-out strategic resource. With the advent of the mechanization era, rubber has more and more uses. Although China is close to Southeast Asia, the main rubber production area, it is still necessary to ensure appropriate domestic production capacity!
When Tan Kah Kee heard Qiao Yu suggested that he move the rubber plantation to China, and also promised to give discounts, he was naturally happy. This was the best opportunity to make good friends with China. As an outstanding businessman, Tan Kah Kee also saw the huge potential of China.
potential, if we can enter the Chinese market as soon as possible, we will definitely be able to obtain unparalleled benefits in the wave of future industrial development.
"Prime Minister, I will immediately arrange for manpower to go to Hainan for inspection. As long as the weather permits, I will immediately move the rubber plantation to China!"
"Well, Mr. Chen, Nanyang will not be very peaceful in the future. You might as well mobilize some Chinese businessmen who really want to move back to the motherland. The domestic investment environment will get better and better, and the infrastructure will get better and better. The opportunity is
Huge!”
Not peaceful? Tan Kah Kee is not stupid. As the Prime Minister of China, if Qiao Yu says this to himself, doesn’t it mean that China will take some actions in Nanyang in the future, or that China has obtained some intelligence? No matter what it is, I will
It must be taken seriously.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me. I will handle it carefully!"
"Mr. Chen, I also want to tell you another news. China's two warships of more than 20,000 tons have been repaired and will be tested immediately. They will visit Java within half a year. From then on, as long as they are within the mouth of China's guns,
Within China, Chinese expatriates are safe, and we will never let go of those people and organizations that provoke anti-Chinese incidents!"
As soon as Tan Kah Kee heard the news, he stood up excitedly. Qiao Yu's guarantee was really important to overseas Chinese. Since 1912, large-scale massacres have appeared in Java Island in the Dutch East Indies.
During the Anti-Chinese Movement, Indonesian indigenous monkeys carried out heinous persecution of Chinese businessmen in the name of religion and in the name of opposing the evil capitalism. Among them, Indonesia’s Islamic Alliance played an important role, distorting the extreme
The teachings made these Indonesian monkeys kill the Chinese. Coupled with the instigation of the colonial government, anti-Chinese actions continued to rise!
Overseas Chinese suffered heavy casualties and suffered huge losses. It was this huge loss that accelerated the overseas Chinese's investment in the country. At this time, Qiao Yu made a promise to protect the Chinese with force. For these suffering overseas Chinese
It is really important to the Chinese people.
Tan Kah Kee bowed deeply to Qiao Yu, "On behalf of all overseas Chinese, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his kindness. I suggest that our warships not only go to Indonesia, but also to Singapore, Malaya, and Manila, so that those damn natives can
See the mighty might of the great kingdom of heaven!"
Qiao Yu has long coveted the land of Nanyang. If China wants to become stronger, Nanyang is absolutely indispensable. The industrial and agricultural resources of Southeast Asia can make up for China's resource shortcomings. Moreover, if China occupies Nanyang, it can directly enter and exit the Indian Ocean and the Indian Ocean at the same time.
The Pacific Ocean is not locked in the island chain, unable to advance or retreat. Moreover, there is sufficient rain and heat in the South Ocean, which can bear large-scale immigration. The populations of Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and other places in later generations are close to or even exceed 100 million!
Of course, the current population in these areas ranges from a few million to tens of millions. If it can be obtained, assimilation will be much easier. Therefore, Qiao Yu has long planned to get involved in the southeast. What he is waiting for is the development of maritime power.
Without sea power nothing can be done!
After meeting with Tan Kah Kee, Qiao Yu set off from Guangzhou and took a ship straight to the Qinzhou Shipyard. Now the Qinzhou Shipyard is the largest shipyard in China. It has built two new 30,000-ton shipyards and imported a shipyard from Germany.
The first batch of the most advanced shipbuilding machines enabled Qinzhou Shipyard to develop rapidly. In addition to normal civilian ships, it also began to build a large number of small ships such as destroyers and torpedo boats.
Of course, this is all for the sake of technology accumulation and cover. At this time, more than 300 German experts have gathered in Qinzhou Shipyard. They are all elite talents in the German shipbuilding industry and were specially arranged by Sekter.
German experts came to China through secret channels. Their main task was to help China expand its shipyards, build various supporting factories, and teach Chinese scientific researchers and technical workers.
Of course, they will also use China's venues to experiment with new technologies and summarize new experiences. As soon as the time is right, they will bring these new technologies back to Germany so that Germany can keep up with the trend of the world's navies!
After Qiao Yu and his party arrived in Qinzhou, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan came to greet him in person. With the establishment of Qinzhou Shipyard, China's shipbuilding industry finally took off, and the Navy also had hope. As the head of the Navy, Chen Shaokuan was naturally overjoyed.
.
"Prime Minister, it is really wise to cooperate with the Germans again. These Germans have been bullied by Britain and France, and they all hold a resentment in their hearts. They are also willing to hand over the most advanced technology to us without any reservation. With the help of
With their help, I dare say that China's shipbuilding industry can progress for at least twenty years. I believe that as long as we give it time, it will not be difficult to catch up with the small Japanese!"
"This is the best, but China's navy is currently positioned as a destructive navy, which is to break the maritime superiority of the great powers. What I am most concerned about is the submarine issue. How is the construction work now?"
"Prime Minister, based on the drawings and technology provided by Germany, we have built two types of submarines, a total of four submarines. The first one we named the Qianlong A type has a displacement of 254 tons, an underwater displacement of 303 tons, and a surface speed of
It can reach 13 knots, 69 knots underwater, has an endurance of 13 nautical miles, is equipped with three 533mm torpedo tubes, carries five torpedoes, and has strong combat capabilities!"
