"Commander-in-Chief, the design ideas, technologies used, and imported machines of the Harbin General Factory are basically all imported from France. In terms of technical level, it is also at the forefront in the Far East. We don't have any factory in China that can match it. Compared with Japanese factories, they are not inferior, and even surpassed in some places, especially the foundation is well done. It can be seen that the Russians have put a lot of thought into it, and it will be very easy to expand in the future!"

"Since Mr. Kuang said so, there is nothing wrong. I just checked the accounts of the Russians and found that the number of locomotives repaired by the factory is very limited every year, and there have been some losses in the past few years. I am afraid that it will take a lot of investment to rectify the factory. funds put"

Zhang Tinglan asked worriedly, while Kuang Jingyang shook his head with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, I only understand technology. With the equipment in the factory, I can assure you that at least one hundred locomotives and eighty passenger cars can be repaired every year." Above, [-] trucks. This estimate is about the same as the production capacity originally designed by the Russians, and the Russians have introduced a lot of equipment over the years. If you sort it out, the production capacity of the factory will exceed this figure, and it will produce locomotives by itself. It’s not impossible, and it doesn’t cost much at all!”

Hearing Kuang Jingyang's words, Zhang Tinglan immediately beamed with joy. Zhang Tinglan still believed in his judgment. Kuang Jingyang was also the first group of children studying in the United States. He and Kuang Rongguang were classmates, and their ancestral home was Taishan, Guangdong, so they were still brothers.When he was in the United States, Kwong Rongguang majored in geology, while Kwong Jingyang studied railway machinery, mainly building steam locomotives.

As a result, after returning to China, Kuang Jingyang sadly found that his skills were useless. Although China began to own railways, and his old classmate Zhan Tianyou was able to design and build railways, there was no railway machinery in China.All locomotives must be imported from foreign countries, and maintenance must be done by foreigners.

What is even more infuriating is that most of the railways in China are not in their own hands. The big powers have artificially divided these railways into sections, each doing its own thing, and the standards are completely different.Under such conditions, China will never even think about building locomotives with its own strength. There is no demand for it for the time being, and there will be no prospect in the future.

Later, Kuang Jingyang simply ran into the navy and became a first officer. It can be said that he was completely cast in the shadows.After leaving the army.He went to Hanyang Iron Works, where rails can be produced after all, and it is an important hub in the Central Plains. Kuang Jingyang hoped to make a difference.

But what followed was the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the chaos of the Republic of China.For more than ten years in a row, not only has it not improved.And it's getting worse.Kwong Jingyang almost lost his confidence, and he was very depressed, so he couldn't stay behind closed doors.

Zhang Tinglan arranged an industrial development plan at the beginning of the year, and wanted to build steel, metallurgy, coal and other industries in one go. The talent gap needed was too great, so Xia Han took the lead at that time.I specially recruited a group of people to go south together.

Kuang Rongguang also remembered his cousin, so he wrote a long letter, and Xia Han took it with him.After running to Wuhan and visiting him several times in a row, Kwong Jingyang had no idea of ​​going north at all at first.He is clear about the virtues of Manqing, and Beiyang is not a place where he can really do things.

At first, Kuang Jingyang still had some expectations for the Revolutionary Party, thinking that they could have some new ideas, but just after Sun Wen became the interim president, he planned to mortgage the Hanyang Iron Works to the Japanese in exchange for a loan. The Revolutionary Party is also very cold, and they are getting older, so they don't want to go out at all.

This old man is stubborn, but Xia Han is even more stubborn than him. Kuang Jingyang reluctantly agreed to meet him three or four times in a row, and then told him repeatedly, introducing the development of Fengtian Industry, introducing various policies, and even trying to impress him. Xia Han also revealed a little bit about the source of Fengtian Machine.

Kuang Jingyang was stunned all of a sudden, he never imagined that on the ground in China, there is such a group of daring forces who would risk their lives so much for the development of industry!

Kuang Jingyang finally made up his mind and went north to check the situation. After arriving in the three northeastern provinces, just in time for the action to recover the Middle East Road, the Harbin General Factory in the hands of the Russians in the past was actually in the hands of the Chinese. The old man couldn't believe it when he got the news.

Now he walked around the factory several times in a row before accepting the facts in front of him. He has been disheartened for many years, but now the old man has regained his fighting spirit: "Commander-in-Chief, if you talk about the Russian problem, I think you can do it with a single word." In short, it is poor management and serious corruption. If a new management mechanism is introduced to stimulate the enthusiasm of the workers, let alone the maintenance of locomotives, with a little rectification, locomotives can be produced! Just give me 50 yuan, I'm sure I can get things done."

"Mr. Kuang, since you are so confident, I am relieved. You will draw up a plan, and I will arrange the manpower for how to operate it."

"What?" Kuang Jingyang frowned, and said loudly: "Does the commander-in-chief think that I am old and useless? Don't think I have been idle all these years. I have been paying close attention to technical matters, and this He is also in good health, my brother Kuang Rongguang is investigating geology and training students, I can't let him compete, I guarantee that within two years, we will be able to produce our own locomotive!"

Zhang Tinglan was indeed a little worried that Kuang Jingyang would not be able to stand up, but seeing the old man's fighting spirit, Zhang Tinglan was relieved a lot, and said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Kuang, you are now the general manager of the factory. There are two main tasks to be done. The first is to appease the workers and resume production as soon as possible, and the second is to repair all the locomotives and carriages damaged by the war, and the railway must resume operation as soon as possible.”

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I promise to complete the mission!"

Zhang Tinglan and Kuang Jingyang looked at the situation of the factory again. During this battle, the workers played a considerable role, helping the Feng army transport supplies and wounded, and they also paid a considerable sacrifice. There were more than 50 workers in total. One worker was killed and many others were injured.

However, after this test, all the workers have undergone radical changes, and just after Feng Jun took over, Zhang Tinglan asked someone to draw up a new management system, and determined a new reward and punishment method. And the wages of workers have been greatly improved.

Every worker has to sign a new employment contract to guarantee their rights and interests.Seeing these real changes, all the workers were refreshed. If they originally helped Fengjun out of hatred for the Russians and wanted to repay their gratitude, but now, these workers support Fengjun wholeheartedly. Feng Jun.

They are currently in the factory, first cleaning up all the corpses, as well as bullet casings and other things, and temporarily erecting the damaged gate.Then everyone cleaned the whole factory again, and cleared out their previous work sheds. Originally, they were just asking for food, and they couldn't care about how dirty and messy the factory was.But now these workers finally have a sense of belonging, and they work extraordinarily seriously.

If it weren't for the sporadic bullet holes in the walls.I'm afraid everyone regards this place as a new factory.Zhang Tinglan and Kuang Jingyang were very satisfied when they saw that the workers were very motivated to work.

"Mr. Kuang, in this factory, Chinese workers account for [-]%, and Russian technical personnel account for [-]%. If you don’t work honestly, you must deal with it seriously, and you can kill it when necessary. In addition, you must cultivate your own talents and let our workers master more skills. In troubled times, you can’t have women Human kindness!"

Kuang Jingyang nodded: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I know in my heart that I must carefully screen out these Russians. In addition, I will write letters to some friends and students in the pass, asking them to come outside the pass as soon as possible, especially the Hanyang Iron Works. There are also quite a few workers and technicians, and I let them come here, but I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to relocate so many workers."

"I've covered everything. In fact, I have long wanted to dig a corner in Hanyang, but there is no way out, and I can't reach there. Now that you are here, everything will be easy!"

Kuang Jingyang also showed a hint of emotion on his face, and said with a sigh: "At the beginning of its establishment, Hanyang Iron Works was known as the No. [-] factory in Asia. If it is used well, China's steel industry may not be able to overwhelm Japan. This factory is half dead, and most of the shares are owned by the Japanese, which is pathetic."

Speaking of this, Kuang Jingyang also showed grief and indignation, and he said excitedly: "It's all **, and the development of the country has a long way to go. Seeing that Fengtian cares so much about industrial development, it gave everyone a stage to display their talents. I It is true that I am old, but the older I get, the more I need to do more things to make up for the lost time. I can develop the Harbin factory and build the largest locomotive factory in China and even Asia. I will die in this life. No regrets!"

Zhang Tinglan also deeply understands Kuang Jingyang's grief and indignation at seeing the country fall because he has no way to serve the country. Industrial development does not happen overnight, especially heavy industry, which requires long-term investment, care, and care. Cultivated for a long time, these are the foundations of a country's prosperity.

Even in later generations, the level of industrial development is already very high, but the role of people cannot be ignored. In some factories, the probability of defective products will suddenly increase a lot. After investigating the reason, it turns out that an unknown old worker has retired. Mastered a very simple skill and process, which is usually not paid attention to by everyone. As a result, everyone didn't know its value until the person left.

Up to now, whether it is Beiyang or the later Republic of China government, they don't know how to pay attention to industry at all, and they have ruined all their little family fortune. We must hold those incompetent leaders accountable for their helpless tragedy. Half of the tragedy is caused by the enemy, and the other half is caused by ourselves. As the saying goes, you will be beaten if you fall behind. This is an eternal truth.

"Mr. Kuang, there is not only the Harbin General Factory along the Middle East Road, but also many factories, including two weapon repair factories. I plan to integrate them together to form a Harbin arsenal. The factory also seems to have a cast iron workshop. Look Can it be used?"

Kuang Jingyang's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go check it out right away, as long as it works, we can greatly advance the production time of locomotives!"

After Zhang Tinglan left the Harbin main factory, he stepped up to inspect several other factories. The Russians did put a lot of effort in the Middle East Road. They built two firearms repair factories, both of which can repair Mosin Nagan rifles. Produce some simple parts.

In addition, there are supporting thermal power plants, which can provide sufficient electricity. After these are integrated, the prototypes of the locomotive factory and the arsenal have been formed, and the Russians have also built a small mechanical parts factory, which is also supporting the Middle East Road. Yes, there are also dozens of mines along the way, mainly for coal and iron mining, as well as limestone, gold, graphite, lead and zinc, and so on.

In short, with the greed of the Russians, they almost want what they see, but now all these things have fallen into the hands of Zhang Tinglan. After taking over the Middle East Road, Zhang Tinglan has tried his best to clean up these industrial and mining enterprises. It's flattering, so the output is limited, but as long as it is in the hands of Feng Jun, the output will increase rapidly. (To be continued..)
