Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

This made the people in the water conservancy department look distressed.

Chu Feng’s requirements are not low. Many of them are not available in China, and have only begun to emerge and develop abroad in recent years.

"Don't worry, there is special funding support!"

"At the same time, we won't set too high expectations for you. We should first learn from others, introduce them, cultivate talents, and keep up with international developments."

Chu Feng, perhaps sensing everyone's pressure, smiled and said, "Sewage treatment is a blank in our country, but it can't remain blank forever. If you do well, you will be the pioneers and founders of this field in the country."

"I'm spending money to give you the chance to make your name known forever! Opportunities like this don't come around often, so everyone, seize the opportunity."

Chu Feng's teasing made everyone present laugh.

Regarding the matter of leaving a name for eternity, not only those in the water conservancy field, but everyone present felt the same way.

"This year, I'm not asking the water conservancy department not to study water hubs and water conservancy projects, but that doesn't mean they won't be needed in the future."

"In two years, three years, we will have to build our own water conservancy project, so you must first improve your internal strength so that when needed, you can be ready for battle."

"It's difficult to try your hand at large-scale water conservancy hubs or hydropower stations. You can go south, to Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and I'll be responsible for the communication."

"Secondly, we can build reservoirs."

"As I said before, we can't just sit back and wait, but we need to exercise our subjective initiative. Before we roll out on a large scale, small-scale experiments can help us cultivate a talented team!"

"Our Saibei Border Region is so poor now that all we have left is money. If you can spend this money without wasting it, and convert it into various talent reserves for me, I, Chu Feng, will kowtow to you twice during the New Year!"

Everyone was amused by Chu Feng's words again. It was impossible to ask the commander-in-chief to kowtow to them, but it was possible to spend money.

Spending money to build talent reserves, only Chu Feng can be so wealthy as to say this.

After talking about water conservancy, Chu Feng did not pause or rest. He just drank a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Next, let's talk about transportation and infrastructure together."

"Let's not waste time talking about transportation. Let's get straight to the goal. By the end of this year, our northern border region will have increased its road mileage by 1 kilometers and its railway mileage by 5000 kilometers."

"I have a message for everyone: if you want to get rich, build roads first!"

"Only when roads are open can goods and the economy flow. Roads are like rivers connecting lakes."

"Without river connections, these lakes would be stagnant. But if we connect them and make them flow, they would become living water."

"Of course, this is just one of the reasons why I'm vigorously building railways and roads."

"I have another more important reason, which is that I have always remembered the wish and plan of the founding father, which is to build 20 kilometers of railways for China."

"This is a great plan, and many people say it's too idealistic. But in my opinion, it's not idealism; it's a reflection of my deep love and expectation for China."

"Although I don't know if I can accomplish this task in my lifetime, I am willing to fight for it."

"5000 kilometers this year, 1 kilometers next year, and every year thereafter. As long as we keep persisting, we will definitely achieve 20 kilometers of railway."

When everyone heard Chu Feng mention the founding father and his railway plan, they were stunned at first, and then their eyes turned to Chu Feng with complicated expressions.

But then, everyone got excited.

If we say that when the founding father was still alive, everyone was poor and had nothing, this would be an ideal.

But now, the Saibei border area is much better than it was then. 200,000 kilometers may be a bit much, but what about 50,000 kilometers? 80,000 kilometers? 100,000 kilometers?

Before, it was an ideal, and there was no hope. But now, it is still an ideal, but we can see the opportunity to realize it.

Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "Let's complete this year's tasks first, train a group of talent teams and construction teams, and prepare for the subsequent large-scale construction of railways and highways."

As he spoke, Chu Feng looked at the people from the Railway Bureau and the Transportation Department and said, "So, this requires the Railway Bureau and the Transportation Department to work together to finalize the plans for the construction of railways and highways as quickly as possible and start construction."

"Construction time in the north cannot be compared with that in the south. Construction is impossible after winter."

"By next spring, the preliminary preparations must be completed, including the construction of the raw material factory. The construction quantity must also be planned and reported to me. I will arrange for the rapid purchase of the relevant equipment."

"The construction of roads and railways is essentially infrastructure, but I singled them out because the construction of roads and railways is quite a long way off, and putting them in the category of infrastructure would increase the difficulty and workload."

"As for infrastructure, it is divided into the following directions. The first is the construction of eight core cities. We don't expect to complete the construction in one year."

“Instead, we aim to complete the urban design this year and start construction, with the construction completion rate reaching 40 percent.”

"It is important to build or renovate enough houses before the cold weather of autumn and winter to ensure that every resident in the northern border area has a place to live."

"Secondly, the construction of various factories and plants is of paramount importance. Only by putting machinery and equipment into production as soon as possible can we ensure the consumption of our growing army."

"Third, we will build bridges, especially the Yellow River Bridge. This year, we will build at least three small highway bridges or single-track railway bridges, and within two years, we will build five large bridges."

"Fourth, regarding the construction of airports, we will build two large-scale comprehensive airports this year, namely Guisui Airport and Yumen Airport, and expand four military airports, namely Beiping, Jinshi, Baofu, and Yangmingbao."

"Build 10 medium-sized military airports. The specific locations will be decided by the Military Commission after discussion."

"Fifth, it is the construction of school campuses and hospitals at all levels. This is related to the development and advancement of our education and medical care."

"I put it fifth not because they are the least important. Each of these five aspects is very important."

"We need to rationally arrange the time and resources for construction, especially for the factory area, as well as schools and hospitals. We need to complete construction quickly so that teachers and doctors can move in."

"Let the people and children have access to medical treatment and education."

"Is there any construction that can be postponed? For example, government office buildings and office locations can be postponed."
