Republic of China game

Zhang Naiqi nodded, showing embarrassment: "Then... the trade union of our Shaanxi company doesn't have the power to impose the death penalty?"

When asked by him, Deng Xixian was also stunned, when did this trade union have the power to kill people?If this is the case, the world will not be in chaos?

Seeing Deng Xixian's bewildered and ignorant expression, Liao Zhongkai couldn't help interjecting: "Mr. Deng may not remember. At the end of the 13th Republic of China, during the Beijing Revolution, the trade unions and peasant associations led by your party But they all have the power to sentence people to death! I don’t know if the trade union of Shanbei Company will have such power in the future?”

Deng Xixian laughed and waved his hands: "Mr. Liao, Mr. Zhang, you two can rest assured. The trade unions in our Soviet area are different from the trade unions in the White area. We can only talk about policies. Not only will there be no judgments There will be no death penalty even if it is a strike! So the investment environment in our Soviet area is the best in China right now!"

"What?" Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda, and Zhang Naiqi exclaimed at the same time.There are still trade unions in this world that don't organize strikes?This is too strange, right?

"Could it be that the wages of the workers in the Soviet area are already high enough to satisfy the workers?" Zhang Naiqi's bald forehead was already beaded with sweat.He is going to invest in a small coal mine in the Soviet area... If the salary is too high, he will definitely lose money!

"Salary?" Deng Xixian smiled, and asked back: "Then Mr. Zhang, what salary do coal miners in northern Shaanxi think is more appropriate?"

Zhang Naiqi sighed with a wry smile: "To be honest with Mr. Deng, the industry in southern China is growing rapidly, the demand for coal is also high, and the price is also high. Therefore, the wages of coal miners in Henan, Shanxi and other places are also good, almost all at 40 yuan It is much higher than ordinary industrial workers! It is even higher than the junior officers in the National Revolutionary Army. After all, this job is dirty, tiring, and a little dangerous! But we It’s coal mining in northern Shaanxi, and it’s a long way to transport it, so the transportation cost is a bit more expensive. Naturally, the wages of the coal miners can’t be set too high, how about 50 yuan?”

"So high!"

Deng Xixian was a little surprised when he heard this figure. He doesn't work in a trade union, so naturally he doesn't know how much the current wages of workers in the white areas are.But his own monthly allowance is still quite a bit, it’s just a few dozen yuan of Soviet currency, plus some rationed living supplies, plus one yuan is definitely not ten yuan of legal currency... This mining worker earns more than the Secretary General of the Central Committee How many times more, is it too exaggerated?

"Is it high?" Zhang Naiqi's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something new: "This kind of salary was obtained by the coal miners led by the trade union under the leadership of your party... It is said that the goal of the trade union is 100 yuan, almost catching up with the colonel of the Kuomintang!"

"Well, the wages of coal miners refer to the colonel's standard, which is very good." Deng Xixian smiled lightly, and said: "There is no military rank system in our Soviet area, and a colonel is probably equivalent to a regiment-level cadre, and the monthly allowance is equivalent to several One yuan of legal currency... plus some rations, it should not exceed ten yuan of legal currency, do you think this standard is acceptable?"

Zhang Naiqi laughed, very satisfied: "It seems that the system of the CCP is better! This system is beneficial to the working class and the national bourgeoisie. The salary of coal miners is equivalent to that of the head of the regiment! If this news is in the training area The working-class people read the propaganda in newspapers, and I am afraid that this revolutionary upsurge will not be stopped by the Kuomintang reactionaries!"

Deng Xixian also smiled: "Right now is the most difficult period for the revolution. The people of our Soviet area unite and work hard under the leadership of the Party Central Committee. When the revolution wins in the future, the salary level will be raised... By the way, Liao Sir, do the leftists have propaganda tools in their hands now? Such as newspapers, radio stations, publishing houses, and even leftist writers?"

"This..." Liao Zhongkai's expression darkened, and he let out a long sigh: "Speaking of this is really pissing people off! Originally, there was already a dictatorial tool of news control in the training area! But now the rightists With the help of the general war system and the mobilization of the national spirit, the news control has been further strengthened! All newspapers must be sent to the local National Government Propaganda Department for review before they are published. Articles against Kuomintang leaders are not allowed to be published... If there is a newspaper that dares to publish without review, they will dispatch the police to arrest people! And they will be sentenced according to the "News Control Law" and "Criminal Code" .Although you may not actually go to jail, but fines are indispensable."

Deng Xixian tightened his expression, nodded, and said: "Mr. Liao, in the current short period of peace, the public opinion propaganda is the main position for us to fight against the Kuomintang rightists. If the public opinion propaganda work is done well, we will wait until the big A hundred years after the president, when the true nature of the right wing of the Kuomintang is fully exposed, it will be much easier for us to unite and defeat them! The experience of the Soviet revolution tells us that a good newspaper is equal to a hundred thousand troops! To tell you the truth, I will Coming to Wuhan also has the mission of resuming the propaganda work in the training area and reorganizing the party organization in the training area, I hope you can fully cooperate."

"Recovery? Reorganization?" Liao Zhongkai shook his head: "It seems that the rightists of the Kuomintang have not seized the "Red Star Newspaper" issued by your party, nor have they attacked the party committee of your party in the training area..."

Deng Xixian glanced at the three "friends" who were full of doubts, and sighed: "This is exactly the conspiracy of the right wing of the Kuomintang! I'm afraid the three don't know yet. At present, the two major propaganda publications of our party in the south, "Red Star News" and "New Youth has been controlled by Trotskyites!"

"Trotskyist?" Liao Zhongkai frowned tightly, and a revolutionary with a high forehead, a goatee, and round glasses appeared in his mind. He had been "friendly" with this person more than once in the Soviet Union. talk" over.

Deng Xixian nodded solemnly: "Mr. Liao, you should know that Chen Duxiu, the founder of our party, has been expelled by... the central government!" He also shook his head lightly when he said this: "There may be some misunderstandings here. , but he shouldn’t take the road of colluding with bandits and rebelling against the party! Especially now that he still controls the two major publications “Red Star” and “New Youth” and continues to fight against the central government! But you KMT rightists are providing him with Protection! Even expelled comrades from our party who went to seize the fake "Red Star Newspaper" and "New Youth", and what's even more abhorrent...the real "Red Star Newspaper" and "New Youth" were banned!"

"So that's how it is..." Liao Zhongkai nodded, and said calmly: "It's no wonder that the "Red Star" and "New Youth" have also started to publish advertisements during this period. How do we do it?"

Deng Xixian just looked at Liao Zhongkai: "Mr. Liao, our party hopes to take back the "Red Star Newspaper" and "New Youth" in the training area, and also ban the illegal Trotskyist organization organized by Chen Duxiu."

Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda looked at each other with embarrassment.These two things are indeed a bit tricky!The editors-in-chief of "Red Star News" and "New Youth" in the political training area are both Chen Duxiu. It seems that the legal person of the enterprise is also Chen Duxiu, and the office space is rented... How can I help the CCP get it back?In addition, it is even more difficult to ban Chen Duxiu's Trotskyist organization. What should be the ban method?You say it's illegal, but in the end... which law is illegal?

"How about...how about this. Tomorrow there will be a meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang to discuss land reform in Henan. I will propose a 'Trotskyist Organization Illegal Act' at that time. If it can be passed...then the Legislative Yuan will amend the "Political Party Law" If this is the case...the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Nationalist Government will ban them. As for the "Red Star" and "New Youth", I will trouble you to go to the Wuhan District Court to sue... I will find a way to help you clear it up. See if you can get the judge to award these two publications to you, but it is better for your party to do Mr. Chen's work, lest he appeal to the High Court, which is controlled by the right."

Liao Zhongkai thought for a long time, and finally came up with two extremely unreliable solutions... But Deng Xixian stood up suddenly and looked at Liao Zhongkai with an unbelievable look: "Land reform? Is this real!"

"It's true, what's the matter? This is what our leftists fought hard for!" Liao Zhongkai seemed to have forgotten that Luo Yaoguo proposed this matter... But the work of the land reform pilot project in Henan Province is indeed entrusted to Liao Zhongkai, a citizen The Deputy Chairman of the Government is in charge.In addition, the local government in Henan Province is basically controlled by the leftists of the Kuomintang. Most of these people are in favor of peaceful land reform. Therefore, the difficulty of implementing peaceful land reform in Henan is the smallest in the entire Kuomintang training area.

The surprise on Deng Xixian's face was fleeting, and then he changed into a sincere smile: "I just don't know what kind of 'land reform' Mr. Liao wants. Does he need our help?"

Hearing that the CCP was willing to provide "help", Liao Zhongkai laughed quickly and said, "I don't need to bother your party. Our land reform is not about using knives and guns...it is about peaceful redemption. The Nationalist government has already planned to allocate 5000 million yuan a year. The special fund for land reform is specially used for land reform in Henan. It plans to spend 800 million yuan in four years to buy farmland in the hands of landlords in Henan Province. At the current land price in Henan Province, this fund can buy 5000 million mu of farmland. We also plan to issue a batch of land reform bonds, also 500 million per year, with a total face value of 600 million in four years... These bonds will be used together with cash to purchase land. The overall plan is to purchase 4000 million to [-] million mu of cultivated land , sold at half price to farmers with little or no land. In addition, rural public lands such as "public land" and "xuetian" in Henan Province were released (referring to common ownership by villages or ethnic groups. Land of this nature was also quite common in China at that time. However, during the land reform process, most of them were counted on the heads of the patriarchs). These 'common lands' will also be transferred to landless and land-less farmers at a low price. ) equally. Adding the two together, at least [-] million mu of arable land can be redistributed. As for farmers’ payment methods, they will adopt the method of payment in installments, which is basically limited to recovering half of the land cost.”

"...Of course, this is only our preliminary assumption. After several months of research in Henan Province, we found that the land ownership relationship there is very complicated. It is not just 'landlords' and 'tenants' as your party advertises. In addition, there are a large number of public lands such as family land and school land. Moreover, even "tenant farmers" often have partial ownership of the land they lease and plant. This kind of partial ownership is still very common. After all, those landowners There are also many unscrupulous descendants, who often fail to keep the family business... These various forms of "partial ownership" must be carefully screened out during the land reform, so as to avoid unnecessary costs for the government. Hehe, Chinese farmers Brothers are very good at taking advantage of loopholes sometimes. So our land reform takes a long time, the workload is heavy, and the cost is staggering. There is no way to compare with the stormy revolution of your party. I am afraid that it will be nothing to spread it to the whole country. Count on..."

Deng Xixian laughed, as if he was very happy to hear it, and nodded frequently to express his support, but his heart was full of turbulent waves.

……

When the great masters of the Communist Party of China and the leftists of the Kuomintang are working hard for the great cause of the Chinese revolution.In the official residence of the Chairman of the National Government, there is also a table of delicious food and wine, and it is also the most authentic Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine.

Hu Hanmin's mansion invited the worst rightists in the national government, including Xu Chongzhi, Zou Lu, Xie Chi, Deng Zeru, Zhang Ji and others.These people are still veterans and ministers in the Kuomintang, and they have not been ruthlessly eliminated by history for the time being.

Speaking of Hu Hanmin, Li Zongren in history once made such an evaluation: "As for Hu Hanmin, he is indeed a gentleman who is upright and upright. However, the Hu family is also extremely narrow-minded. He is proud of his talents and has sharp words. , there is absolutely no politician demeanor of things and people. At that time, no one in the party, from the veterans to the ordinary party members, did not show respect to Mr. Zhantang, but no one respected Mr. Zhantang enough to be the leader of the whole party. Because of Hu There are more than enough talents to rule the world, but not enough leaders to turn around in troubled times." If Li Zongren's evaluation is really objective enough, this Hu Dajun seems to be the best leader of the Kuomintang in this time and space. !If it's really the kind of leader who has the whole party unanimously turned to the heart, then Luo Yaoguo probably won't have a stage to perform, right?

The topic of discussion at the rightists' dinner today is Sino-Japanese friendship!Of course, these people are definitely not traitors, but they are not "prophets".Even if it is a "prophet" who has traveled through time, he is not sure whether Japan will invade China now... As for the reason why they want to seek friendship between China and Japan, it is still "peaceful reunification of China".It's not that these big rightists have changed their temper and love peace.It is really because the influence of Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo in the army is increasing day by day, and after each war, their status will obviously rise a little bit.

But "peaceful reunification" is different. Peaceful reunification does not require the army, and naturally there is no chance for military leaders to make contributions. Of course, it will not threaten the status of these rightists who are mainly civilian officials.As for the peaceful reunification law, in their view, the Kuomintang is currently the most powerful in China, followed by the Feng Faction, followed by the Youth Army, and the CCP... ranks fourth, and the rest are nothing to worry about.The Youth Army and the Youth Party rely on the Kuomintang to maintain their rule in the northwest. Their political views are also very close to the extreme right of the Kuomintang. It is not difficult to recruit security.The biggest obstacle remaining is the alliance between the Feng Faction and the CCP. If the Feng Faction can be annexed... then the CCP will be alone, and China will truly be reunited peacefully!And the key to the peaceful annexation of the Feng family seems to be Japan's support!

Chapter 0380 take the capitalist road (eight)

German Empire, Essen, Villa Hugel.

A string quartet played Beethoven in the villa's luxuriously decorated French-style concert hall.A buxom soprano sang Schubert.With the exception of Muklevich (chief of the Navy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army), everyone listened intently.When the ballad was sung, the dignified lady Bertha Krupp was still in tears.But when Mukelevich saw this charming woman, what he thought of was the 420mm cannon!Name the dreadful murderous weapon after the beautiful wife!These goddamn Germans are so imaginative.It's like asking China to build a battleship this time and then sell it to the Soviet Union...

At this moment, his thoughts were all about battleships.After a whole week of negotiations, the harvest is quite good.After pretending to be secretive for a while, the Germans still took out the blueprints and technical data of their latest battleship design.

This battleship is a subsidiary of Krupp, Germania Shipyard, which was improved on the basis of the York-class battlecruiser last designed by Germany in World War I.The new battleship was designed taking into account the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, lest the buyer be forced to scrap the ship after joining the treaty.Therefore, the standard displacement is based on the 1016 tons stipulated in the treaty (every ton = [-] kilograms), in addition, according to the treaty, it can be added for the installation of lightning protection barriers and anti-aircraft type The deck weighed [-] tons, and finally reached [-] tons, which is equivalent to [-] metric tons!And the full-load displacement is as high as [-] tons (British tons)!It is definitely a super battleship no less than the seven warships of the "Navy Holiday Era"!

新战舰的尺度：舰长220米；舰宽34米；最大吃水10.7米。战列舰的动力计划采用尚在设计中的瓦尔特式高压重油专烧锅炉（9座），以及同样处于开发阶段的布洛姆·福斯式蒸气涡轮引擎（3座）。设计中的主机输出功率：13万五千匹马力。推进装置参考约克级战列巡洋舰的设计，采用4轴，4螺旋桨，双舵并列。战舰的设计航速：全速27节；续航力：1万两千海里/15节，六千海里/25节。

The only thing that makes Mukelevich a little dissatisfied is that the main gun of this battleship still continues the conservative thinking of the Germans carrying small guns on big ships.It is planned to install nine triple-mounted 380 mm 52-caliber main guns. According to the Germans themselves, the range and power of this main gun that has not yet been designed will never be lower than the 16-inch 45-caliber main gun of the British Nelson class. Cannon, the performance is quite advanced.Uh, you can definitely beat the Japanese Nagato-class battleship to the ground!Of course, if you can't beat the Nagato, you can't return the goods... Right now, this is the rule in the arms trade all over the world.

除了380毫米的主炮之外，新战列舰还将安装6座双联装150毫米/55倍径副炮；8座双联装105毫米高炮；8座双联装37毫米高炮；2座四联装、12座单管20毫米高炮。

The defense of the battleship will adopt the most popular key defense design in the world at present, and reduce some unnecessary weight as much as possible.This is also to enhance the defense and battlefield survivability of battleships as much as possible within the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty.The armor data of the warship is: waterline 307 mm (inclination 19 degrees); turret front 457 mm, side 229 mm, top 184 mm, gun mount 439 mm; conning tower 406 mm; armored deck 121-147 mm; mine armor 45 mm.The design of the lightning protection system requires protection against 250 kg of TNT explosives.The total armor of the entire battleship is [-] tons (excluding the rotating part of the turret), and the total weight of the hull structure is about [-] tons.

Most of the construction materials of the warship will be produced by the Krupp Steel Works in Germany, all of which are the world's best shipbuilding steel and armor steel (the Germans claim it).However, all artillery, including the 380mm main gun, will be produced by a joint venture between China Military Industry Corporation and Krupp to avoid restrictions on German arms exports under the Treaty of Versailles.

In addition, the warship will carry four seaplanes, all of which will be produced by the Sino-German aircraft factory in China.The design establishment of the crew is 1927 people.

At this time, the concert that the Germans used to entertain the Soviet delegation had ended, and the guests began to dance.Muklevich and Gustav Krupp walked into a study in the villa and began to discuss the most important issue in the battleship transaction-price.

"Dear Comrade Muklevich." The world's most sincere and humble smile has now appeared on Gustav Krupp's "old baby face", which looks both amused and upright. adorable.He nodded to the director of the Soviet Red Navy sitting at the other end of the desk:

"Do you know how much effort and risk we Krupp and the German Empire have put into this battleship? And in order to build a battleship for our Soviet friends, we have to spend huge sums of money to build a shipyard in China , steel mills, training workers, oh, and fighting against the trade unions led by the Chinese Communist Party...it's really sad! And for the Soviet-German friendship...we are only going to charge a meager salary of 4000 million US dollars per ship, I think ...You and Comrade Stalin won't care about such a small amount of money, will you? In addition, half of the deposit is required in advance."

"What! 4000 million U.S. dollars? Mr. Krupp, are you right? The cost of the most expensive battlecruiser Hood in Britain is only 400 million pounds, which is almost [-] million U.S. dollars!" Hearing the other party The lion opened his mouth wide to quote, and Muklevich shook his head like a rattle, shouting for the price.

Krupp smiled lightly and sighed: "This battleship is much more powerful than the Hood. You, the director of the Soviet Navy, can't you see the difference between them? The thin-skinned and big-bodied battleships of the British The cruiser has no advantages except that it is faster. It is not suitable for the current naval battle at all... It is completely rubbish! The Battle of Jutland has proved this point. If our battleship of this type and the Hood are on the battlefield in the future When you meet, you'll know that $4000 million is worth it!"

Mukelevich's face was slightly ugly. To be honest, the director of the Workers' and Peasants' Navy is actually a layman in the Navy.He doesn't know which one is better, the Hood or the battleship in this design proposed by the Germans.But he was very clear about one thing, even if the Hood was offered to the British for [-] million dollars, they would definitely not sell it.The Americans also have the same attitude, and Mussolini in Italy is a little bit moved.However, subject to the "Washington Naval Treaty", he cannot provide the most advanced battleships (it is estimated that they cannot be built with Italian industrial technology) to the Soviet Union, and if he, the director of the Red Navy, buys two cheap Italian ships and goes back... in the future Comrade Stalin would have a bad temper if he was casually sunk by the Japanese Nagato!

"Mr. Krupp, can't you make it cheaper?" Muklevich's tone was almost begging: "I'm revealing a little secret to you, the Soviet Union... plans to build a few more battleships by itself, So there are still a large amount of equipment procurement contracts for shipyards and steel factories in my hands! If you are willing to make a little concession on the price of the battleship... These contracts are all from Krupp, what do you think! "

A trace of surprise flashed across Gustav Krupp's face, and he calmed down again in a blink of an eye.He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, then sighed softly: "Okay, how about two ships worth 500 million US dollars? In addition, we will give away all the technical materials, including... the formula of armor steel! This But what money can’t buy, it’s given away for free entirely out of the great friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union.”

Hearing that all the technical materials and the formula of armor steel were sent, Muklevich's face brightened a little, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Krupp, when will your shipyard in China be able to start construction?" What about these two battleships? When will they be built? Besides, can the quality be guaranteed?"

Gustav Krupp sighed lightly and said with a smile: "We are currently building a large shipyard in a place called Panyu County near Guangzhou, China, and it will be fully completed in March next year. We will be able to start construction of one of them. The other one will be handed over to Brom Force Shipyard's joint venture shipyard in China for production. It is estimated that the two battleships will be delivered by October [-] at the latest. In addition, China National shipbuilders are also stepping up their training, and they will be able to do some less important work under the command of our German engineers and senior technicians. So you don't have to worry about quality, our Krupp reputation is the number one in the world one!"

"...But there are two points that must be specified in the contract. One; if the two battleships are detained or requisitioned by the Chinese because of the Sino-Soviet war...we will not refund any money! Two ; if the battleship construction period is delayed due to a strike led by the Chinese Communist Party, we will not be liable for compensation."

Mukelevich thought for a while, then nodded, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with these two points. Even if we, the Soviet Union, want to attack China, we will wait until these two battleships are delivered! Otherwise If so... the Chinese may be able to come up with four such terrifying battleships at once, right? The design plan you provided to the Chinese is also the same, right?"

Gustav Krupp replied calmly: "You guessed right, the Chinese will also have two such battleships, but they are used to fight against the Japanese. Oh, remember, Comrade Stalin Have you named this class of battleships? I don’t think you want a Chinese name for this class of battleships?”
