Other than machines and equipment, Jiang Xiong's inventions were all from before 1940.
What was even more impressive was that the students in a series of primary schools, middle schools, high schools, universities, and various professional and technical schools in the northeast learned things very quickly. They could basically understand a little and learn it well. They could even draw inferences from one example.
From 1899 when Jiang Xiong became the governor of Kurojiang to his death in 1928, the population of Northeast China had soared from less than 10 million to 45 million. After 29 years of development, a huge amount of manpower and material resources had been invested in literacy. Other than the elderly, the young and middle-aged were basically illiterate.
What did it mean to have a literacy rate of over 90%?
During the period of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 400 million people who planted flowers, and the illiterate rate was as high as 90%. In other words, only 30 to 50 million Chinese were literate.
In the countryside, elementary school education was considered a great scholar. Matches were called foreign fire, iron nails were called foreign nails, not to mention other basic industries, science and technology, military, and hygiene. The industrial system was basically zero.
The literacy rate was high, and there were many people with higher education. The industrial development was rapid. Last year, in 1928, the annual production of steel in Northeast China was 12.8 million tons, copper was 1.4 million tons, aluminum was 1.1 million tons, and other non-colored metals and alloys totaled 2.66 million tons.
This terrifying industrial volume had already surpassed the Fusang Dwarf.
Even in the real world, from the beginning to the end of World War II, the Japanese did not produce more than 10 million tons of steel.
Before the end of World War II, steel production had always been the standard to judge whether a country was strong or not.
The Jiang Clan's northeast could already be considered a world-class power in this world.
Jiang Xiong had racked his brains to develop the northeast into a behemoth that was even stronger than Fusang. Why didn't he enter the pass and plant flowers?
Jiang Yun 'an had asked indirectly, and Jiang Xiong's answer was that it was not the right time yet!
They were all modern people, so Jiang Yun 'an knew what Jiang Xiong was worried about.
What was the root cause of the warlords 'chaotic warfare?
The western powers!
Jiang Xiong was a typical extreme nationalist.
The 45 million soldiers and civilians led by the Jiang family hated the western powers and Fusang in this parallel world to the bone. They had always treated the westerners and the Japanese with a tough attitude.
In order to protect their interests, the western powers of this world sucked the blood of other races. Of course, they collectively hated Jiang Xiong, the Far Eastern madman. Therefore, the northeast was often under the joint blockade of the western powers.
Once the Jiang family wanted to enter the pass, did he believe that the great powers would sponsor Fusang to invade the northeast and then support the warlords in the pass to fight with Jiang Yun 'an?
At that time, the Jiang family would face a two-pronged battle. If they were not careful, they would lose everything.
Before Jiang Xiong passed away, he reminded Jiang Yun 'an not to be impulsive. He told him not to be impulsive. He told Jiang Yun' an to stay in the northeast and accumulate strength while waiting for the right time.
In addition, Jiang Xiong also mentioned the economic crisis many times, as well as the international conflicts caused by the economic crisis. He vaguely explained that a world war that would sweep the world would definitely break out within ten years. That was the opportunity for the Jiang family to enter the pass and unify. He also mentioned that he wanted to form an alliance with the British Polar Bear.
Join the alliance of this world?
Jiang Yun 'an did not want to!
The Jiang family was very strong and had great potential for war. Why didn't they pull Germanic Fusang to defeat the eagle sauce polar bear?
There were still ten years before the outbreak of the Second World War! Jiang Yun 'an was confident that he could double the industrial capacity and reach the goal of producing 30 million tons of steel per year.
Moreover, Jiang Xiong had brought out too much technology in recent years. The industrial technology of the Black River area under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family was at least ten years more advanced than that of the western powers. It had already reached the level of 1940.
What was the outcome of joining the alliance?
Cold War!
If nothing unexpected happened, after the end of World War II, the Jiang family, the Polar Bear, and the Eagle sauce would definitely start an intense arms race. Another version of the Cold War would be born.
Why did they have to fight a cold war? Why couldn't they just decide the outcome of World War II and establish their dominance in the world?
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was to accumulate enough power in these ten years.
After decades of Jiang Xiong's vigorous development, the northeast was already running out of resources. The economy had also stagnated due to the joint blockade of the western powers, and it had not grown for several years.
Fortunately, the economic crisis had given the Feng lineage a great opportunity!
How could he let go of such a huge market?
The problem of resources was also easy to solve. They could just fight a war with the polar bears and snatch the treasure land of Eastern Siberia.
……
The next morning, outside Feng City, State Road 219.
Jiang Xiong, who understood this principle, had developed the traffic in Northeast China to the extreme.
As of now, the total length of the railway in the territory of the Northeast Military Government was 14690 kilometers, and the highway was 8744 kilometers. It had completely achieved the small goal of connecting the county with the railway and the villages with the highway.
For example, the highway from Feng to Anton had eight lanes in both directions. It was flat and straight, and there were guardrails on the side of the road to prohibit pedestrians from entering. It was completely built according to the highway standards of later generations.
In addition to transportation, running water and electric lights were basically covered throughout the entire territory. There were even heating companies run by the government that provided heating to schools, government agencies, military camps, hospitals, train stations, and other places.
Jiang Xiong was tough on the outside and benevolent on the inside. He almost doted on the people as if they were his own children. After 1920, there were no more ragged people in the northeast, and all walks of life flourished.
Therefore, when Jiang Xiong died of illness, millions of people from all over the world gathered in Fengtian. Their cries shook the sky. There was an endless stream of incense burning in front of Jiang Xiong's tomb on Longhu Mountain day and night. Every day, a large number of people went to pay their respects.
Jiang Yun 'an admired Jiang Xiong from the bottom of his heart. When they passed by Mount Longhu, which was ten kilometers away from Fengtian City, he specially asked the motorcade to stop by the side. He opened the door and got out of the car. Then, he bowed three times in the direction of Mount Longhu.
General Yang Yuting, the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Feng Army, Lieutenant General Bai Yuxi, the deputy commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong, the chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Guo Songling, and the colonel of the General Staff, Xue Yue, who followed Jiang Yun 'an to Andong, also got out of the car and saluted.
There were so many famous generals that they could not be counted!
Ever since Jiang Xiong took over as the head of the Jiang family in 1870, he had been searching for famous generals everywhere. After he became the governor of Black River, he immediately established the Northeast Army University and recruited four or five-year-old children like Xue Yue to train them.
After years of careful training, the number of military talents and the luxurious lineup made Jiang Yun 'an often sigh at the impressive fortune that Jiang Xiong had left him.
After bowing, Jiang Yun 'an stopped to look at the majestic Mount Longhu for a while before turning around and getting into the car.
"Let's go!"
