The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

In late April, in China, the whole country has been busy with spring sowing. The difference between this year's spring sowing and previous years is that Huadong Group has entered the agricultural production link on a large scale.

After two years of development, the crop breeding bases established in Hainan, northern Jiangsu and other places have carried out hybridization and other breeding experiments on many varieties of rice, wheat and other crops.

In terms of technology to increase crop yields, China at this time is already at the forefront of the world. Last year, it successfully cultivated a kind of rice with a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, but it did not meet the wide requirements.

The production capacity per mu in the test field is 500 kg, and it is estimated to be 300 kg in the hands of farmers.

Although no hybrid varieties with higher yields have been found yet, the specific hybridization methods are very proficient. In order to increase crop yields, Jiang Yu once again allocated 500 million yuan to the rice research base in Hainan. This scale of funds has already been achieved in agricultural experiments. It is the highest in the world. [

Maybe a few years later, China's agriculture can take off.

When there were no high-yield crops and large-scale agricultural machinery was not widely used, in order to ensure agricultural supply, Jiangyu asked East China Bank to provide loans to farmers and encourage them to purchase small-scale agricultural machinery to increase productivity and allow farmers to spend more time. Go to the development of the breeding industry to ensure that eggs, meat and milk can keep up with the growth rate of demand.

With the arrival of spring sowing, the Lianghuai Administrative Bureau has become busy with agricultural development, especially with the approach of summer, the construction of flood control projects is more urgent.

Most economically developed regions in China are actually under the threat of floods.

In order to solve the flood problem, the Lianghuai Administration first began to reinforce the embankments, and at the same time built reservoirs on the main river channels, and used lakes such as Hongze Lake as natural flood discharge areas.

In the event of a flood, the most serious loss is agricultural production.

The Huadong Group, which has invested a lot of money in agriculture, naturally does not want to see it. For this reason, Jiang Yu once again invested an additional [-] million in water conservancy construction.

In terms of electricity, thermal power is mainly used. The hydropower resources in East China are not rich. Although there is a lot of water, the gap is not big.In East China, Fujian is the region with the richest hydropower resources, but Fujian is not currently under control.

The fishery of the river is also a key development project, but compared with the sea, the fishery resources of the river are more likely to be destroyed. Therefore, Jiang Yu used the right of the two rivers to inspect the envoy and stipulated that the Yangtze River must have a six-month fishing moratorium every year. The size of the hole in the fishing net is strictly regulated.

Trawlers are also prohibited from entering the river for fishing.

Since Jiang Yu returned to China and invested in the Hangzhou Shipyard in 10 years, the Hangzhou Shipyard has built the world's first fishing trawler at this time.

Trawlers are the poster child for extinct fishing.

Drag it over with a net, regardless of the big fish and the small fish, they will catch them all in one go.

At this time, the global pelagic fishery resources are still in a very rich stage, and those high seas with rich fishery resources have not been classified as internal seas of various countries.

As long as you catch fish in the high seas, you can catch them at will.

A huge advantage product of Hangzhou Shipyard is fishing boats, and they are large ocean-going trawlers.

After these large trawlers are launched, they are directly handed over to the Huadong Ocean Fishery Company for use, and then they are driven to the high seas where fisheries are abundant for trawling operations.

Not long ago, Huadong Group finally developed a reliable refrigerator technology, which enabled the construction of a large freezer on the trawler, which provided a guarantee for long-term freshness, and also solved the flawed problem for the development of pelagic fisheries.

In the past, it was not because no one was developing the pelagic fishery, but because of technical conditions. The fish had to be treated immediately, otherwise they would rot. [

Therefore, the pelagic fishery in this era is not too developed.

For China, which lacks meat, marine fish can provide a large amount of protein for the nation, which is a good way to solve the current shortage of meat and milk supply.

While manufacturing ocean-going trawlers in large quantities, Hangzhou Shipyard is also manufacturing large-scale ocean-going cargo ships.

At this time, the advanced cargo ships were in the [-]-ton class, among which the German cargo ships were the most advanced. Although the total tonnage was not as good as that of the British, they were all large cargo ships.

As ships get bigger, they require less power and can carry more cargo.

In contrast, among the cargo ships of the British, there are even 50 years ago, and the profit efficiency at sea is far inferior to that of Germany. However, the Germans only have more than 500 million tons of merchant ships, while the British have more than 2000 million tons. The rise has reduced the benefits that the UK has gained from ocean transportation, but the UK still needs to obtain 1 million pounds of freight from around the world every year.

After two years of construction, the first batch of five 12-ton merchant ships was finally launched. This 12-ton merchant ship was named 'Yangfan Class Merchant Ship', and began to manufacture the second batch of 10 ships, and strive to complete them within one year , forming the requirement of an annual shipbuilding capacity of 10 tons.

Coupled with the shipyard invested by his father-in-law, it is estimated that after World War I, a shipbuilding capacity of 20 tons can be formed, but it is still small compared to the UK's annual shipbuilding capacity of 120 million tons.

The rapid development of shipbuilding just digested the steel output.

At this time, after comprehensive consideration of various aspects, the British government finally agreed to come forward to organize the loan, but it made a loan from the Bank of Five Nations.

This surprised Jiang Yu, but made him even happier.

When the First World War breaks out, Russia will perish directly, and the strength of Britain and France will be greatly weakened. The United States will be beyond reach of China, and only Japan has the ability to invade China.

At that time, even if it is an outrageous repudiation, what can Nima do to me?

Of course, out of credit considerations, if Britain, France and other countries can be more sensible and return the concession and customs, then the money can still be repaid.

After all, after the end of the First World War, the pound will depreciate by 21%, and it will depreciate by about 50% during the war.

Furthermore, during World War I, industry profits generally skyrocketed by 100%, and individual industries skyrocketed by more than 300%, and the supply was still in short supply. As long as there were enough industries, such loans during World War I could be easily repaid.

At the same time as the five-nation loan was being carried out, Frans, a French businessman in the United States, came to China from the United States. He brought a large amount of funds from Citibank of the United States, as much as 35 billion U.S. dollars.

This is a mortgage obtained by Jiang Yu after investing in the exploration of mines, oil fields and other resources in the United States.

It is relatively easy to make a loan in the United States, and there are no messy political issues involved.

35 billion US dollars is equivalent to 7 million silver dollars, but these Qian Jiangyu are used for other purposes, that is, to build the navy and establish the coastal defense of important ports in East China.

Jiang Yu immediately secretly used the money to contact Germany, ordered coastal defense guns in Germany, and secretly hired German naval soldiers to come to China.

Jiang Yu asked William II for officers and soldiers who could drive submarines, because it was too late to build battleships and the like, and the only thing that could be built was the submarine force. [

Submarines are cheap and can be used to break wars. They are the best to deal with island countries like Japan. As long as there are enough submarines, they can completely curb Japan's development in World War I.

As long as Japanese goods cannot be shipped out, there will be no development of Japanese capital.Of course, the Japanese Combined Fleet has a large number of surface ships, and it can also launch a disruptive war against China. However, China's coastline is longer in comparison, and Jiangyu has aircraft to participate in coastal defense. It is not so easy for Japan to disrupt maritime traffic.

As long as there is a submarine force of a certain size, Jiang Yu can guarantee that once the attack starts, Jiang Yu will not be completely powerless to fight back.

These three days have been updated every day, and now the physical condition is still repeated, there is no way to speed up the update speed, I am very sorry for the students!
