Chapter 345 Letter from Yancheng!

The gunfire in Songhu shook the whole country, and the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army's attack on Shanghai by about 5 people from the third division and six brigades swept across the country like a hurricane.

For a time, the people of the country were all shocked!
When the shock passes, it's followed by...

Excited!

excitement!
And the insignificant expectation in my heart.

Can you win?
do not know.

But they hope that this battle can be won, and that this Songhu battle can be won, which can bring almost impossible good news.

For the hundreds of millions of people who have been on the brink of national subjugation and genocide for a long time, they have heard too much bad news, from the Eight-Power Allied Forces entering Beiping, to the loss of Shandong in 1914, and the loss of East China in the September [-]th Incident. In the three provinces, China has been being beaten, and China has been falling into the abyss of national subjugation without stopping.

The demise of China is not empty talk, but a fact that people in this era really feel. Many Chinese people are full of pessimism and even despair about the future of China.

why?
Because Japan is too powerful, powerful enough to suffocate.

Japan across the sea has completed the industrialization process and has a nearly complete industrial system that can produce aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, carrier-based aircraft, land-based fighters, tanks, complete artillery systems including large-caliber heavy artillery, and Light weapons system including light and heavy machine guns, independently innovated and developed 6.5mm Arisaka bullets.

These are only the strengths in the field of military industry, and have not yet involved the field of heavy industry.

What does China have?
In the field of military industry, some rifles and bullets can be produced, as well as a small amount of mortars. If Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal is added, it can barely produce 105mm howitzers.

We can't build airplanes, tanks, warships, aircraft carriers, or any weapons, equipment or industrial products that can surpass Japan.

In the field of heavy industry, the annual output of the most important iron and steel is less than a fraction of the annual output of Japanese steel, and there is almost no production layout and planning for other industrial raw materials such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, petroleum, ethylene, toluene, etc., and the output is pitifully low.

This is the gap, the apparent gap between China and Japan, when it comes to potential content such as international influence, education system, comprehensive technological potential, etc., the gap between the two sides cannot even be described as "worlds apart".

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the three-month plan to destroy China proposed by Japanese Army Minister Moto Sugiyama may only be considered arrogant to domestic people with lofty ideals, but to the people at the bottom and the middle class, this plan is extremely real.

At present, the sudden outbreak of the Songhu Battle is like a booster for countless Chinese people who are shrouded in the brink of national subjugation and genocide. , into the hearts of countless people.

This is the hope that has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, the hope that China will continue to last forever.

Destruction or continuation, the choice is made by war.

With the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the people of the country were all rejoiced and excited. People in the coastal areas can be said to have money to contribute money, and they are able to contribute, and assistance in the War of Resistance abounds.

What is different from the original history is that the industries in the coastal areas, which were supposed to be relocated late at this point in time, have benefited from the top-secret information provided by deciphering the red secret materials and the role of Brother Zhongzheng who has not made continuous mistakes in decision-making. The vast majority of industrial facilities and machinery and equipment, as well as related means of production and raw materials, have successively arrived in important inland cities such as Wuhan and Changsha.

More industrial power is preserved today than in the past.

However, for Brother Zhongzheng, these things alone are not enough to support the War of Resistance, and it is necessary to buy as much time as possible to obtain more materials and equipment.

……

As a big port in the south, before the development of Shanghai, the city of Guangzhou was like a shining pearl embedded in the territory of China, shining brightly and exuding a unique beauty.

This is the earliest place for China to contact and trade with foreign countries, and it is also the city with the fastest development and strongest strength in China.

The Pearl of the Orient was first described not by Shanghai, but by Guangzhou.

One of the three branches of the Chinese Society of Engineers is located here.

The office of the branch of the Guangzhou Society is close to the municipal government. The main body is a three-story building. The branch is the well-deserved NO.1 among the three branches. It has 28 senior members, 65 correspondent members, and 350 ordinary members. It has a mechanical department and a civil engineering department, covering power machinery, machine tools, houses, bridges, tunnels, etc. and other engineering content.

In an office on the second floor of the society branch, Xu Jinyuan was working at his desk, using his glasses to obtain information about the content of the document. This was a hard-won blueprint of a lathe structure, designed by a Swiss with reference to many German design elements.

Exquisite, advanced, and complex, this is Xu Jinyuan's comprehensive evaluation of the internal structure of this machine tool.

"I can't imagine that this is a structural design of a lathe in 1920... The West is far ahead of us. At my level, if I put it in Switzerland, I might not even be as good as a third-rate mechanical engineer." Xu Jinyuan carefully skipped every design Part, learning the mystery in my heart, but amazed.

It has been three days since he got this lathe structure drawing, but as a senior member engineer and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Tsinghua University, he still failed to grasp the essence of it.

Most importantly, this is the lathe structure design in Switzerland 17 years ago.

In the past 17 years, China's backwardness is almost everywhere. ——Xu Jinyuan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Dong Dong!" At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Jinyuan frowned slightly, and looked up at the door.

"Mr. Xu, this is your letter." The staff of the society branch showed respect and informed Xu Jinyuan of their intention, then took a step forward and handed out the letter.

"My letter?" Xu Jinyuan was slightly surprised, and then took the letter from the young staff member. After the other party left, he turned to the sender column with a trace of curiosity.

In a blink of an eye, the whole person was stunned, and the sender wrote three words—Zhuang Qianding, and the sending address—Yancheng, Shaanxi.

This is a letter from Yancheng!
Who is Zhuang Qianding, of course Xu Jinyuan is no stranger to him, this is the tutor who taught him by example in Tsinghua University, both undergraduate and master's degree are under Zhuang Qianding's school.

"What's the matter with the professor's letter?" Xu Jinyuan reacted with a puzzled look on his face, opened the seal, and took out the letter paper.

Jin Yuan saw:

How are you doing these days?Recall that it has been a year since you graduated with a master's degree.

I once heard that you returned to your hometown, passed the entrance test of the Chinese Society of Engineers, and became a senior member. The teacher was very happy.

This letter is just for one thing, to invite Jinyuan to devote himself to the development of China's industry.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, China faced an unprecedented crisis of national subjugation. Shi Zeng said that he would devote his life to saving the country through industry. If China wants to have a future, it must rely on industry. Now China wants to win the War of Resistance, but it can only develop industry while resisting. .

However, the state government is corrupt, and it is not uncommon for us to plunder. The technological intellectual property rights and knowledge achievements cannot be protected, and it is very easy to be obtained by the Japanese invaders through the hands of the state government. The importance and value of advanced technology is immeasurable.

The teacher wanted to change, but it was still hopeless. He thought he could only teach and educate people, but he never thought that one day he would find an opportunity to develop China's industry.

In Yancheng, Shaanxi, the teacher is here, and he has personally created the fire of China's industry with his colleagues. At present, there is an urgent need for talents to seek a complete industrial system in China and achieve the goal of saving the country through industry.

China's complete industrial system cannot rely on teachers alone. It needs you, thousands of knowledgeable and talented you.

Zhuang Qianding.
