In 1918, just after the new year, the entire northeast was covered in white snow. Because of this, some construction sites that could not be built stopped construction. However, some construction sites that involved heavy industry and military industry still overcame all difficulties and continued construction without stopping.
...................................................................................................................................................
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets of Fengtian City were much livelier than in previous years. Since last year, the Japanese devils in Fengtian City had become much more obedient. Most importantly, under the new director, Wang Yongjiang, the security department of Fengtian City had also arrested some street hooligans and bullies. As long as they were confirmed to have committed crimes, they would receive the punishment they deserved.
Therefore, the construction of Fengtian City was better than in previous years.
Merchants were willing to invest, and the people were willing to settle down. The population of Fengtian City increased by 200,000 in the second half of the year alone.
Many new houses had been built around Fengtian City. There were even more cars on the streets, but they were all foreign cars.
"Old Wang, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that you could do so well in Fengtian!”
At Huanggutun train station, Wang Yongjiang also came to pick up his old classmate. Today was the first day of the new year. This old classmate had stayed at home for several months since he was dismissed from office in Beijing.
"Juemin, if you're willing to come to Fengtian, you can join the Transportation Bureau. I might even have to follow you in the future.”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man also had a worried expression. There were too many factions in the capital. If he was not careful, he would be dismissed and directly beaten down. What was the use of Lin Juemin's ambition?？
"If I really have the chance, I would really like to get to know this young marshal. You even admire Yongjiang. Back in school, your heart was higher than the sky and you didn't put anyone in your eyes.”
"Alright, Juemin, some things involve the secrets of Fengtian. When you really join Fengtian, you'll definitely know.”
" The country is weak, and the military is backward. Yongjiang, this Huanggutun train station, the Japanese are really…"
Lin Juemin's eyes were filled with heartache. The troubles in the northeast had not happened in just one or two days. The two empires of the East and the Polar Bear Empire had swallowed up the interests of the northeast. Anyone with lofty aspirations would naturally feel heartache when they heard about it.
The young people of this era were all concerned about the country and the people. Or it could be said that in this era, saving the nation and the country was the main theme, especially the young students. They wanted to serve the country. No matter how difficult the conditions were, they could endure it.
However, the northern and southern warlords were mediocre. Even the capital of Beiyang was constantly in conflict. The direct line of the Wan faction had been at war for years. Lin Juemin had been the chief of communications for three years, and he was dismissed this time because he was not a direct descendant of Duan Zhirui.。
As soon as Lin Juemin stepped out of the train station, he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers patrolling along the railway as if this was their territory.
However, just as Lin Juemin arrived at the carriage, his eyes lit up. Not far away, there was another army. They were running close to the Japanese army, and each of them carried a rifle. Looking at their spirit, only the elite troops of the Northern Warlords could compare.
"Could it be that those are all soldiers?？”
Wang Yongjiang only smiled and did not deny it. However, Lin Juemin's heart was in turmoil. How dare the Fengjun's troops train so openly in front of the Japanese?？
It was no wonder that the railway station management didn't do much. It was because of this…
" Where are we going, bosses??"
"To Hunnan."
Along the way, Lin Juemin chatted with the coachman. He was a smart man, and he could tell at a glance that the coachman's complexion was not bad. At least he could eat his fill normally.
"Coachman, are you saying that your three sons are all in school?？”
Along the way, Lin Juemin was repeatedly shocked. Whether it was the construction site outside the carriage or the newly rebuilt wide road, Lin Juemin's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, it's because of the heavy snow that I can't find work at the construction site. Otherwise, I can earn four to five dollars a month. We still have five to six acres of land at home. It's not a problem for us to send our three sons to school.。”
"Yongjiang, you really have to tell me what happened in Fengtian this time. I know a lot of depressed friends in Beiyang.”
Wang Yongjiang also patted Lin Juemin's shoulder. After the young commander confirmed it, he naturally knew about the reforms in Fengtian.
It was already past eleven o'clock at night in Zhang Hanze's office in the Fengtian Conference Building. Zhang Hanze had been busy recruiting talents for Fengtian, so he hadn't even had a good time this year. After a detailed discussion with Lin Juemin, Zhang Hanze appointed the former Beiyang Transportation Chief as the new director of the Fengtian Transportation Department.
With Lin Juemin's experience, it was definitely enough.
However, the specific appointment would still have to wait until the government meeting at the beginning of the year and go through some simple procedures. Of course, the current Fengtian was basically still decided by the Zhang father and son.
" Major, this is??"
In front of Lin Juemin was a railway map of the northeast region. On it, the Middle East and South Manchurian railroads were like two fish bones, fiercely stabbed into the northeast.
"Fusang has always wanted my father to sign the construction plan for the five new Manchurian and Mongolian railroads, but he never signed it. Therefore, this railway plan has been pending for a long time.!”
"The Japanese want to build the railway first?？”
Zhang Han nodded. With the completion of the five new Manchurian and Mongolian railroads, the entire southern part of the northeast would be completely disintegrated by the Japanese. Whether it was transporting troops or transporting mineral resources, they would be dismembered by these five railroads. Even if war broke out, the Japanese could use these railroads to quickly mobilize their troops against Fengtian.
"My father and I will never agree to this. Therefore, we want to build a new railway branch in the existing Fengtian railway network and dismantle the current South Manchurian railway!!”
"For example, a simple railway from Fengtian to Liaodong that is parallel to the current Anfeng railway. This way, our own transportation will not be controlled by others!”
Lin Juemin also looked at the Anfeng railway on the map. This railway extended eastward and even connected to the railway in the Korean Peninsula.
"The construction of the railway is of great importance. Moreover, the Japanese are blocking it. It will be very difficult to build this railway. However, once the railway is built, the gate from Fengtian to Liaodong will be opened, and the situation in Fengtian will be revived. Therefore, the Transportation Division needs to come up with a plan as soon as possible to confirm the construction period of this railway.”
The railway project, the merit in thousands of years, the benefit in thousands of generations.
Moreover, Yingkou also needed an East-West railway to complete the transportation network.。
Lin Juemin didn't expect the young commander to trust him so much. On the one hand, he was ostracized in the capital, and on the other hand, he was valued and trusted by Fengtian. If it were anyone else, they would have already made their choice.
