Fengxian Jiangshan

Grasping the handle of the church, Fengjun has an extra good card in his hand, but how to make the most of this card needs to be carefully weighed. What they want from the West, the bottom line they can agree to is Where, this needs to be carefully estimated, and a good card cannot be wasted.

At first, Shao Piaoping and others suggested using this as an excuse to shake up the various privileges of the West in China, and even amend the treaty to regain the power of tariffs and so on.These propositions are very attractive, but they were rejected by Wang Yongjiang during the discussion.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the asking price is too high. Once the power of the great powers in China is mobilized, it is tantamount to killing their lifeblood. These guys will not agree.And just a Lund church, although a lot of criminal evidence was found, but if the big powers refuse to admit it, Fengjun has no good way. They can't search the churches one by one, or they will only tear themselves apart with the West.

Maybe they will use the banner of religion to put pressure on Fengjun together. Some things are not enough just to be reasonable.

After several considerations, Guo Zongxi finally put forward a new suggestion, which is to let Westerners help build a hydropower station, focusing on real economic benefits.Guo Zongxi is the governor of Jilin Province and knows the situation in Jilin very well.

The upper reaches of the Songhua River, originating from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, have a large drop, sufficient water volume, and rich hydraulic resources. It is the most suitable place for building hydropower stations in the three eastern provinces.At present, the power generation in the three northeastern provinces mainly relies on thermal power generation, but the scale of the power stations is very limited, and several large arsenals all have to provide their own power stations.

With the rapid development of industries in the three northeastern provinces, the demand for electricity is increasing, and the gap is also growing.This side is the huge demand, and the other side is the river flowing away.It is very distressing.

It's not that Feng Jun has never thought about building a power station by himself, but there are gaps in all aspects. There are no specialized design talents, no ability to produce large-scale hydropower equipment, and no experience in river closure. I can look at the water and sigh.

However, an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, and it happened that the power station could be repaired with the help of western technology.After this suggestion was put forward, Zhang Tinglan's eyes immediately brightened.In the original history, there was also a famous hydropower station on the Songhua River, which was the Fengman Hydropower Station built by the Japanese!

In 1936, the Japanese Kwantung Army Command twice ordered the puppet "Manchukuo" it supported to step forward and build a 5-kilowatt Fengman Hydropower Station on the Songhua River within five years.Tokuo Honma, director of the Puppet Manchukuo Electric Construction Bureau, formulated a plan for the construction of the Fengman Hydroelectric Power Station.

The dam was impounded in 1942, and the first unit was put into operation on March 43, 3.It was the largest hydropower station in Asia at that time.for the construction of the hydropower station.Chinese workers paid a heavy price.At that time, the Japanese cheated and recruited a large number of laborers from North and Northeast China by lying about the place of work or fabricating preferential treatment.

It is understood that from 1937 to 1941, the Japanese invaders cheated a total of 11 people from the pass.also.The Japanese also surrendered security supplementary teams, apportioned labor in the Northeast, and used prisoners. It can be said that they did everything they could.According to a labor statistics book of the Northeast Hydropower Bureau during the Puppet Manchukuo period, about 20 laborers participated in the construction of the dam at that time.An average of 1 to 1.2 laborers worked on the dam every day, with peaks of 1.8.

Exactly how many Chinese workers were exhausted and frozen to death is unknown.The Japanese alone confessed to more than 5000 people.In the ditch next to the hydropower station, there are three natural ditches over 100 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. Countless Chinese laborers were abandoned or buried shallowly.Back then, due to the excessive number of laborers, the bones of the dead covered the wild, and it became a desolate and terrifying world where wild dogs devoured corpses, which is also the famous plump mass grave!

There is no doubt that the Fengman Hydropower Station was built with the blood and bones of Chinese workers, but it has to be said that the Fengman Hydropower Station is of great significance to China.The Japanese designed installed capacity at the beginning was 56 KVA. Since the Fengman Hydropower Station was only 80.00% completed until the Japanese were defeated, it is not clear how much the total power generation capacity can reach.

However, according to the data of later generations in China, the annual stable power generation can reach more than 27 billion quintillion hours. possible.

And just in 1936, the total power generation capacity in China's customs was only about 30 billion kwh, which was just equivalent to that of the Japanese colony of Korea.At this time, if Western technology is fully adopted, the scale and technical level of the Fengman Hydropower Station will definitely surpass the Japanese.

A single hydropower station can exceed the total power generation of the country. With such a treasure, it will definitely be able to stably supply the electricity needs of Jilin, Changchun, Harbin and other places, and the development of the North Manchuria region will have a promising future.

Hydropower stations can not only provide clean, sufficient, and cheap electricity, but also regulate flood peaks, alleviate floods and droughts, and provide irrigation for farmland on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. All these functions are simply difficult to measure with money.In the later generations, the three eastern provinces became the key investment locations for China's initial industrial construction. In addition to having sufficient natural resources, the existence of the Fengman Hydropower Station also added a lot of points.

As long as the hydropower station is built, the industrial level of the entire three northeastern provinces will climb to a new level. By then, a truly complete industrial system will take shape.

In normal times, the big powers would not easily help Fengjun build such a hydropower station, but now is this golden opportunity. After thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan finally decided to build the Fengman Hydropower Station in exchange.

When Gu Weijun told Fengjun's plan, the envoys of the three countries frowned when they heard this. The scale of this hydropower station is too large, which has exceeded their acceptable range.

"Gu, in order to build such a huge hydropower station, at least hundreds of millions of dollars are needed. We simply cannot afford it. This is an unreasonable request." Eston said loudly.

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "We don't need to contribute all the capital, as long as you help design, supervise the construction, and provide power generation equipment. As for the funds needed for the equipment, we can repay the funds from the hydropower station. In fact, this can be regarded as a It is a win-win cooperation. We know very well that the United States has built a large number of hydropower stations in the Mississippi River Basin, with mature experience and technology. If we can reach a cooperation on the Fengman Hydropower Station, we will build hydropower stations under Fengjun’s rule in the future. They will give priority to purchasing equipment, which is a huge market.”

When Klein heard this, he was completely moved. He was worried that because of the church problem, the Chinese people would become hostile to foreigners, and their economic interests would suffer huge losses. However, if they could maintain cooperation on the hydropower station, they would Lost economic benefits will be made up.

"I think it's a good proposal and the U.S. government will consider it."

The envoys of Britain and France also glanced at each other. This request is not bad. In fact, there is no economic loss for them. On the contrary, if they do well, they will earn a lot of benefits.

Therefore, Eston also said: "We will all consider it, but I hope Fengjun can calm the public opinion as soon as possible, and stop damaging the image of those kind missionaries."

Gu Weijun said: "I can only guarantee that the government will not come forward to criticize, but there are some voices from the people, and we have nothing to do. Therefore, we suggest that we still need to adopt a missionary management method. Free missionaryism does not mean that missionaries can do evil, and they are also subject to supervision. .”

The three ministers knew they were wrong, so they could only get up and leave. Gu Weijun reported the negotiation situation to Wang Yongjiang, and Wang Yongjiang also showed joy on his face.

"To build the dam this time, we not only need to have the largest hydropower station in Asia, but also learn the technology of designing and constructing hydropower stations. We have to draw out the real skills from foreigners to lay the foundation for our own construction of hydropower stations in the future. The power will be sufficient. The economy of the three provinces is about to take off."

At this time, Yuan Jinkai came in with another person. After seeing Wang Yongjiang, he smiled and said, "Brother Minyuan, this is Mr. Wu Tongju, who is also an expert in water conservancy. We don't know how to ask foreigners to help us build hydropower stations." He couldn't do it, so I invited him over."

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he also looked at Wu Tongju excitedly. He was about 50 to [-] years old, with a short build and a simple and honest face.Wang Yongjiang and Yuan Jinkai introduced the situation to him and talked about building a hydropower station on the Songhua River.

Wu Tongju suddenly showed a trace of guilt, and hurriedly said: "Governor Wang, Yuan Shenshu, I am really engaged in water conservancy, but my main research is on building dams, flood control and irrigation. Although I know a little about building hydropower stations, I have no practice. Basically I'm afraid I can't help you as a layman?"

"Mr. Wu, do you know that there are such experts in China?"

Wu Tongju shook his head with difficulty: "Governor Wang, the top science and engineering talents in China are all in Fengtian. I really can't find such experts, ashamed!"

"Mr. Wu, I don't need you to participate. Can the supervisor alone do it? After all, the great powers have too many thoughts, and there is no trustworthy person watching. I'm afraid they will cheat during the construction!"

"Interlaced lines are like mountains. Hydropower stations will be used for decades, or even hundreds of years. All aspects need to be considered, especially as the technical level improves, and the main engine needs to be replaced. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, we must leave room for it, but we do not know how to do it. , if the big powers don’t let us stay, or cause trouble, and when they update in the future, they will beat us hard, it will be bad. In addition, such as construction period, cost, equipment, etc., all need professional talents, otherwise If you want to suffer and be deceived, Wu knows the importance of hydropower stations, but I really don't have the ability!"

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and finally let the great powers let go, but if he has no professional talents and a good thing turns into a bad thing, then it will be self-defeating.

When they were at a loss, the secretary suddenly ran over: "Governor Wang, the commander-in-chief sent a telegram for you to read it yourself!" (To be continued...)
