Naturally, Yan Ziming did not know about the resentment of a certain lady in Beiping.
He didn't even know that Marshal Zhang intended to betroth his eighth daughter to him, thus forming a marriage alliance between the Zhang and Yan Families.
But recently, Marshal Zhang and Yan Laoxi had been writing letters to each other about their children.
Although Yan Ziming had tricked Marshal Zhang and even captured Marshal Zhang's favorite son alive, Marshal Zhang still admired Yan Ziming.
In particular, Marshal Zhang admired Yan Ziming's strong attitude towards the Wei Nu people.
After all, Marshal Zhang, who controlled Fengtian, was under too much pressure from the Wei Nu Kingdom.
Yan Ziming did not have the time to care about this. His goal was still to reorganize the internal affairs of Jinxi Province.
His next target was the coal and steel in Jinxi Province!
Coal and steel were indispensable raw materials for a country to move towards industrialization. Far away in Western Europe, Gaul and Country D often had conflicts. A large part of the reason was that both countries coveted a piece of steel resources at the border.
Jinxi Province was rich in both steel and coal resources.
However, due to the chaotic warfare among the warlords and Yan Laoxi's desire to gain a firm foothold and conceal his strength, their control over coal and steel resources was extremely inadequate.
Some people had also become rich from this resource and made a fortune.
However, their cheap sale of coal and steel resources would only benefit the foreign powers. It would not benefit the country and the people at all.
Yan Ziming wanted to develop China's heavy industry and take the lead in promoting Jinxi Province's industrialization. He wanted to reclaim the rights to coal and steel. This was an inevitable step.
After all, heavy industry was the foundation that supported a country's war. Yan Ziming did not want to see that when a war broke out between Xia Country and the Wei Nation in the future, even basic bullets could not be mass-produced.
"Young Marshal, are we really going to attack those coal and steel bosses?”
"If we intensify the conflict with them, it won't do us any good!”
Du Luming frowned. Even he knew the danger of doing so.
"A serious illness requires strong medicine!"
"If we don't take it back now, it'll be even harder to take it back in the future!”
Yan Ziming raised his eyebrows. He had already made up his mind.
"Coal and steel are the top priorities of industrial development, and they are also the main source of our future tax revenue. Just like how salt and iron were monopolized in ancient times, the coal and steel industry should also be monopolized by us!”
During the Second World War, tanks and armored vehicles had already become the overlords of the land battlefield, and warships with larger tonnages were everywhere on the sea.
Be it tanks or warships, they all needed to be built by a systematic industry.
In this aspect, Xia country's foundation was zero!
Yan Ziming had to prepare for a rainy day!
Moreover, once the coal and steel resources were taken back, they could completely trade with Country D, who was extremely dissatisfied with the outcome of the war after their defeat in the first war.
This meant that he could earn a lot of money.
Of course, Yan Ziming could also use this opportunity to invite some high-level technical workers from Country D to China to develop China's heavy industry and train high-level technical workers in China.
If China wanted to get rid of the current backward situation, it was inevitable to take advantage of the international situation to profit from it.
"Give them a chance. Invite those coal bosses over for tea. If they are willing to cooperate with us, we can give them a certain degree of compensation.”
"If you're unwilling, don't blame me for using forceful methods!”Yan Ziming said with killing intent.
A person like him who had fought his way through the battlefield naturally would not be soft-hearted.
The necessary iron-blooded methods could allow Xia country to embark on the right path as soon as possible. Killing a few parasites was really nothing to him.
"Have the soldiers of the 1st Independent Regiment gather and be prepared to deal with any unexpected incidents.”
"This time, we will succeed in one fell swoop and take full control of the coal and steel mining rights.”
"To lay the foundation for our country's path to becoming a big country!”Yan Ziming said firmly, his tone unquestionable.
"Yes, Major!"
As Yan Ziming's trusted aides, Hu Zongnan and Du Lu Ming had always followed Yan Ziming's orders.
"But, Major!"
"If they don't cooperate with us, the mining of coal and steel may come to a halt. We don't have the professionals to take charge of this.”
" The coal and steel export channels are also in the hands of these people…"
As expected of Yan Ziming's personal talent, Hu Zongnan had an extremely sharp understanding of such matters.
"Without Butcher Zhang, can we still not eat pork?”Yan Ziming smiled faintly. He was obviously very confident.
"Mr. Zhang should have received my letter by now!”
Yan Ziming said with a smile. It turned out that he had already sent a letter to Zhang Jian and the others a long time ago.
Patriotic industrialists like Zhang Jian, Lu Zuofu, and Fan Xudong would definitely not reject Yan Ziming's invitation.
After all, the 'price' that Yan Ziming offered was something that no warlord could afford.
"Revive China's industry and revive China!”
Just these few words were enough to make the patriotic industrialists of the Republic of China palpitate with excitement.
