Italy, Austro-Hun, Osman, Japan, and South American countries were all working hard, but they had yet to make any large-scale moves. In comparison, their counterparts in the United States, Spain, Germany, Hawaii, and France had already taken the lead. However, it was better to eat it late than late. The future world structure needed to be diverse, so it was important to control every place.
As the center of the base, Panzhi was no laughing matter. Ever since the equipment was in place and Kuijun approved the plan to build the railway, the recruitment plan had officially entered a large-scale development.
At this time, Beimeng in the Golden Triangle region had also begun to plant its own small flowers. A large number of people had been recruited to start. This would also be a very important source of income in the future. The most important thing was that under the refinement of the base, a new type of Heaven Powder was refined. These things began to become popular. Every country's person-in-charge had it. This was a big killing weapon!
Lu Yao looked at the endless factories in the Neijiang Industrial Zone. Most of the factories in Panzhi had also started production. Starting next year, it would not be a problem to produce 700,000 tons of steel annually. These were the most important and needed things for the construction of the railway.
Lu Yao also requested that the railway be cast with reinforced concrete, so the demand for steel was much greater. If it weren't for the resource, production, and capital constraints, Lu Yao would have prepared to use cement and asphalt roads on the roads. However, he only built them on important sections.
Lu Yao looked at Chen Xi and said," In half a year's time, the entire Chengdu to Neijiang, and then to Panzhi, has been successfully 'incorporated' by us. So I think we can take the next step and continue to develop in the Chongqing area. I want to build Chongqing into a new Eastern Magic City, haha!”
Chen Xi also smiled and said,"Even I didn't realize that our development speed was so fast. You know, Sichuan is currently the most populated province in the country, with 67.8 million people. According to the historical data we read in 1902, Sichuan had a population of 68.72 million. Therefore, if we were a little faster and controlled Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, we would occupy a quarter of the country's population. How can it not develop quickly?"
Lu Yao also sighed and said," Yeah, I really couldn't believe that there were so many people in Sichuan Province at this time. After we sent out 500,000 people, we could still organize millions of workers. Now, the railway is being built in sections, and hundreds of thousands of people are working at the same time. Only in this era can we have such a scale! "Even so, we still haven't fully grasped the common people's door. We still need to continue working hard. We need to speed up and spread it quickly. Before the end of the year, I hope that other than the remote areas, the entire Sichuan and Chongqing areas will be under our control!”
"Yes, I understand, but…"
Lu Yao smiled." Oh, I know what you want to say. Xu Zhan has looked for me many times. He wants to expand the army, and it's indeed time to expand the army. Confess, but don't make a big deal out of it. Keep a low profile, and then spread it among the army. We need to develop steadily and low-key for another year! We'll implement the land policy when the time comes."
"Understood. Then, we'll follow the plan and start the second phase of the recruitment plan.”
Chen Xi sighed. Lu Yao rolled his eyes. It was not enough. It was enough now. For the current base, it was already super invincible to be able to develop to this extent in half a year. This was also because Sichuan was located in the southwest of the mainland. Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago. However, even so, it could not be hidden for too long.
Coming to this era, Lu Yao finally understood why China had not established a complete industrial system from the First World War to the Second World War. It was because of the blockade of the foreign powers. They only wanted to treat China as a plundered colony. How could they be willing to help China establish an industrial system? Coupled with China's population advantage and the "yellow peril theory" that had always been a stand in Europe and the United States, how could they let China rise?
Therefore, everything had to depend on oneself. Only what one created was the best. Moreover, China now had the Spanish side account. Without a doubt, this was the most important thing Lu Yao had done in this world, and it was also the most correct thing. He had pulled Spain, which was wandering in the European continent, out of the waterhole. Now, the feedback was coming.
The cold wind blew Lu Yao's long robe, and the sky gradually darkened. The night had come, and it was another cycle, but it was time for the new cycle to change to the Zhuang family!
"Let's expand the army!"
They had no choice but to do so. When the year 1900 arrived, they would definitely have a tough battle to fight. With just these 15000 people? How was this possible?
With Lu Yao's order, the troops that already had four regiments and two battalions began to expand rapidly. In fact, after Lu Yao's Xing Hai Company was established, the high welfare and high treatment had already attracted the simple farmers. The key was that they could read here, learn a craft, and help out if their family was in trouble. Just these were enough to attract people, not to mention the high wages. The common people nowadays were very simple and honest. They would work for whoever gave them good conditions.
As for those who learned to read with the help of Lu Yao's subordinates, they were quickly brainwashed by the Junshe Party. This method from the future, coupled with a beautiful present and a future that could be achieved with hard work, was really not a joke.
The reason why Lu Yao had the confidence to build the Sichuan railway and even mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build it was because the people themselves had a steelyard in their hearts!
Fan Buji looked at the telegram in his hand and laughed out loud. He looked at Xue Wujia and Xu Zhan and said,""Look, it's passed. The expansion of the army, 2 divisions, 1 brigade, 1 regiment, this scale is not small!”
Xu Zhan said seriously," Now I will allocate the number of soldiers. There are two regiments in Chongqing, one regiment and one battalion in Guizhou, and one regiment and one battalion in Yunnan. The rest will be recruited from Aba and Ganzi!" A total of 6 regiments and 5 battalions were recruited. Currently, we have a total of 4 regiments and 1 battalion. The mission is still very difficult!”
Xue Wujia smiled and said,"Don't be afraid. As long as we can complete it, we will have the strength of more than 40000 people. It is enough to ensure our safety!"”
