Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

At Li Guosheng's temporary office in Taiyuan, he saw Zhou Weiren, who had attracted worldwide attention and was respected by others, and Li Guosheng was so excited that he almost shouted out the word "Prime Minister" that later generations often heard.

Although I don't know why Li Guosheng suddenly became emotional in front of him.However, as a battle-tested diplomat, Zhou Weiren still took the initiative to extend his right hand, making a gesture of wanting to shake hands with Li Guosheng, and said to Li Guosheng.

"Hello, Commander-in-Chief Li! We haven't seen each other for almost two years since the last time we parted in Shenyang. I really didn't expect Commander-in-Chief Li to live younger and younger. The National Defense Forces are also under your leadership, and they are constantly winning one game after another. A victory that shows the world what it means to be a Chinese."

At this time, Li Guosheng finally woke up from the excitement. After hesitating and hesitating about Zhou Weiren's address in front of him, he stretched out his right hand and held it with the people around him, and said confidently: "Mr. Are you getting younger?"

"As for the National Defense Force under my command, let me say a word of self-promotion. The original intention of our National Defense Forces was to unite the country, secure national defense, and make the motherland prosperous and strong. Therefore, the things you just said are the responsibilities and obligations that our National Defense Forces should have. , should not be praised like this by you."

After finishing speaking, he directly returned to the subject and asked Zhou Weiren who looked thoughtful because of his own answer.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't know the purpose of your visit this time? Why did you suddenly think of my neighbor..."

The red party is poor, this is something every Chinese knows well.In addition, Li Guosheng has helped the Red Party get through the crisis more than once.Therefore, in front of Li Guosheng, a friend of the Red Party, Zhou Weiren did not hide anything.Answer directly.

"Commander Li, I'm not afraid of your jokes. On the surface, I came here to cooperate with your army in some aspects. In fact, I came to ask for help from your army."

"Shaanxi Province, where our party is currently located. Because the land is barren and located in the interior, it is difficult to develop whether it is agriculture or industry and commerce. Because of this, our government's finances have been on the verge of collapse."

"Although we have completed the land reform throughout Shaanxi Province, the people are still living in dire straits in the face of huge economic pressure. In order to reduce the burden on the people and make the people no longer bear such heavy taxes, our party has decided: Large-scale development of industry and commerce in Shaanxi Province."

"After much deliberation, the Changqing Oilfield is the only place in Shaanxi that can bring benefits to the government in a short period of time. However, because we are too poor and do not have the production and exploitation technology, there is no way to carry out large-scale oil production in the Changqing area. Large-scale drilling and production. After the top-level meeting of our party, it was decided that we will use land and oil fields as shares, and cooperate with your army to develop the Changqing Oilfield together, each taking what they need. I don’t know if Commander-in-Chief Li has this idea.”

Zhou Weiren can be so sincere and say the purpose of this trip without reservation, if Li Guosheng still hesitates, it will appear that he is too heartless.

He replied without thinking: "We can jointly develop the Changqing Oilfield with your party."

"It's just. After the oilfield is developed, how should we calculate our specific share? It must be discussed clearly to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future. After all, your party only invested in land and oilfields, and did not make any other contributions during the development process."

at this point.Zhou Weiren did not engage in an in-depth debate, because what Li Guosheng said was the truth.

Moreover.Even if the Red Party wants to buy shares and take more shares in the oil field, the Red Party has no money to buy shares.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Weiren decided to throw this burden directly on Li Guosheng in front of him.

Because, with Li Guosheng's friendly attitude towards the Red Party all the time, coupled with the fact that the National Defense Force has a big family and a great career.Zhou Weiren was confident, and Li Guosheng felt that it was impossible for the Red Party to suffer too much.Otherwise, Li Guosheng's status as commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces would also be humiliated after the news got out.

After an unknown smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, Zhou Weiren replied to Li Guosheng: "Commander Li, the development of the entire oil field is invested by your army, so the oil field should be dominated by your army. As for how to split it?" Is the ratio appropriate? I think it should also be raised by your army, which holds the majority of the shares."

Li Guosheng knew very well what the other party was thinking.

Therefore, after only half a minute of hesitation, he reported to Zhou Weiren a share division plan that could solve the financial crisis of the Red Party, but could not make the Red Party completely rich.

"My idea is that after the entire oil field is fully developed, you will get [-]% of the crude oil obtained, and our National Defense Forces will get [-]%."

Seeing Zhou Weiren's rapidly changing expression after hearing the result, Li Guosheng knew that his allocation plan must have failed to meet the other party's expectations.

However, Li Guosheng is confident that he definitely has a way to make the other party agree and be satisfied with the sharing plan he proposed.

After showing Zhou Weiren a kind smile, Li Guosheng took the lead and said: "Mr. Zhou, don't get angry. Since I said that, there must be a reason for saying it..."

"First of all, I have a question that I want to confirm with Mr. Zhou. As far as I know, your party's development of this oil field is still in its infancy. According to your party's development speed, whether the annual output can exceed [-] tons."

Seeing Zhou Weiren shaking his head, Li Guosheng continued: "Then I would like to ask Mr. Zhou, do you know how much development funds I plan to invest in Changqing Oilfield, to build an oilfield with an annual output of crude oil, and an oilfield with an annual consumption of many tons of oil?" Is it a large-scale refinery?"

Seeing Zhou Weiren continue to shake his head.

Li Guosheng did not give the other party any chance to speak, and continued to speak: "As our country's first oil field, it is also for the future fuel demand of our National Defense Force. I plan to invest 500 million US dollars in Changqing Oil Field for development and plant construction. .If it is converted into our commonly used ocean, it is 2000 million."

"Besides, all kinds of technical and professional talents required for the development of the entire oil field and the production of the refinery are all provided by us."

"According to this investment scale, after the oil field and refinery are officially completed and put into production, the crude oil production target in the first year is 30 tons. At that time, we will also study whether to continue to increase investment according to the specific reserves of underground crude oil. Increase to 40 tons, or even 50 tons..."

"Calculate carefully. Even if your party only holds 30% of the shares, the annual output of crude oil is 120 tons, which is more than a hundred times the current amount. According to the current crude oil price, your party can directly obtain from it. About $[-] in revenue, Synthetic Ocean is a full [-] million."

"Without paying any price, you can get 120 million ocean revenue every year. Why not do it. In addition, if your party agrees to cooperate according to this sharing method, we must sign a supplementary agreement. It belongs to your party. The [-]% of the party’s crude oil must be sold to our National Defense Forces, and our National Defense Forces will pay your party funds at market prices.”

Shaanxi Province is said to be a province, but because of the perennial wars and the barren land, when the fiscal revenue is almost entirely dependent on the land, it is thankful that the annual fiscal revenue can reach 200 million oceans.

And the Changqing Oilfield, which is about to be developed in front of us, does not need any payment from the Red Party.Just by using land as a share, they can get more than [-]% of Shaanxi's fiscal revenue every year, which has to make Zhou Wei's heart beat.

When Zhou Weiren's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, Li Guosheng knew it.This cooperation is done.

Sure enough, within half a minute, a kind smile appeared on Zhou Weiren's calm face.He said to Li Guosheng: "In this case, Commander-in-Chief Li. Then wish us a happy cooperation."

A series of contracts were signed, and the negotiation between the two parties was a complete success.

Just when Zhou Weiren was about to leave with his subordinates.After a long period of hesitation, Li Guosheng still decided to say: "Mr. Zhou, if you are not in a hurry, I would like to have a private chat with you. I hope you can take some things back home and tell the high-level officials of your party to hear."

"Forehead……"

Zhou Weiren frowned subconsciously.However, it only takes a moment for the kung fu to stretch out.After ordering his subordinates to leave the conference room without hesitation, he asked Li Guosheng who had never seen such a serious expression before him.

"Commander Li, there are no outsiders here except the two of us. I don't know what you want to say."

Under Zhou Weiren's sharp eyes, Li Guosheng said: "Mr. Zhou, I want to ask the senior leaders of your party a question: Why did you join the Red Party without hesitation in the first place? Is it really for the prosperity of the country, or to satisfy you? The raging ambition in my heart."

Seeing Zhou Weiren who suddenly fell silent, Li Guosheng continued to analyze: "As far as the current domestic situation is concerned, it is basically impossible for your party to continue to grow and develop. I don't know about other places, at least in the National Defense Forces. All the ruling areas, your party's various policies are no longer acceptable to the common people..."

"That is to say, there is only one way out for your party at present, which is to develop in the northwest direction. However, I am not afraid to tell you that it will not take long before the third group army I stationed in Outer Mongolia will move to Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places launched attacks to wipe out the local clan forces in these provinces that have always been in trouble, and rescued tens of millions of people from the miserable life of starvation."

"So, what I want to tell your party is that no matter how capable your party is, at most one province of Shaanxi will be occupied."

Seeing that Zhou Weiren's face became more and more dignified, but he did not speak out against him, Li Guosheng continued: "Like most of the top leaders of your party, I share a common ideal and goal: that is to let us The country will become prosperous and strong, so that the Chinese nation will always stand on top of the world and will no longer be bullied by foreign powers."

"Since we have a common ideal, we must fight for this ideal, even at the expense of our own lives."

"And we all know that if a country wants to be prosperous and strong, the first thing to do is to unify the country and unite the whole nation. Only in this way can the whole country be twisted into one rope, and we can make the country stronger and stronger. "

But now, let alone whether the whole country can be twisted into one rope, even the army known as the "national important weapon" still has no subordinates and cannot form a fist.Under such circumstances, how is it possible for the country to develop and grow, to prosper and prosper. "

At this time, Zhou Weiren seemed to understand the meaning revealed in Li Guosheng's words with a dignified face.

After taking a deep breath to ease the shock in my heart, I asked Li Guosheng: "Commander Li. I want to know what exactly you want to tell me. What is your ultimate goal..."

After looking at Zhou Weiren in front of him for 5 minutes, Li Guosheng gave a surprising answer: "My idea is very simple. The two of us can carry out further cooperation and merge all the provinces currently occupied to form a real union. The government, governing together, fighting for our common goals, leaving a name in history."

"If your party agrees, on behalf of the National Defense Forces, I can express to your party that after the formation of the coalition government, we will never suppress anyone in your party. Not only that. Your party can still continue to develop party members in all areas under the government's jurisdiction. And we The future ruling phalanx of the coalition government will be multi-party and non-party personnel working together to fight for national unity and prosperity."

"In my mind, in the future, the country must not have a situation where one party dominates and governs. Because, in this huge country, once a competitor is lost, corruption will be staged in this country, just like the current National Government."

"So. As far as I am concerned, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen, although I have not joined any party so far. Of course, I can also tell Mr. Zhou with certainty. I, Li Guosheng, will not join any party in the future. Not to create any parties...”

"In addition, if your party agrees to my proposal, carry out further comprehensive cooperation. Among the first leaders of the coalition government, there must be leaders of your party. As long as they have talents, they are not mediocre. Get reused. This is the consistent employment policy of our National Defense Forces and the current government."

"As for the tens of thousands of Red Army commanded by your party, they will all be reorganized according to the rules of the National Defense Forces. All officers above the battalion level will go to Shenyang National Defense University for a half-year modern military study. After completing their studies, they will be reassigned to the major field units of the National Defense Forces according to their grades. To serve..."

After finishing what he needed to say, Li Guosheng finally added a sentence with a serious face: "Regardless of whether your party agrees to carry out comprehensive cooperation with our National Defense Forces, I still have the same sentence as most of the top leaders of your party. The common goal is to strive for the prosperity and prosperity of the country, I hope your party can seriously consider it...."

To be honest, Zhou Weiren already felt his heartbeat at this time.Especially when he heard the words "common goal" from Li Guosheng, Zhou Weiren, who had set himself the goal of striving for the prosperity and strength of the Chinese nation since he was a child, almost agreed.

However, the last bit of reason in his heart told him that such an important matter was definitely not something she could decide alone, even though he was already the top leader of the Red Party.

After calming down the agitated mood caused by Li Guosheng's series of persuasion, Zhou Weiren replied to Li Guosheng as calmly as possible: "Commander Li, what you have done is very admirable. Personally, I support you very much. The conclusion just now. However, for such a big matter, I have to wait until I go back to make a decision. But, I can guarantee that what you just said, I will definitely report it to everyone at the high-level meeting of our party …”

Yan'an, where the Central Committee of the Red Party is based, informed all senior members of the Red Party of the results of the negotiations at the Standing Committee meeting.Zhou Weiren did not reveal the content of his last conversation with Li Guosheng.

Although the current Red Party has confirmed Mao's leadership in the party, there are still many different voices inside.

In order to avoid the leakage of the content of the speech, it would cause a sensation within the Red Party, and even cause turmoil in the Red Party.

After the meeting, Zhou Weiren directly called the boss to come to the great man's office together, and first discussed Li Guosheng's proposal among the three people.

After listening to Zhou Weiren's introduction, the great man first affirmed: "This Li Guosheng is very accurate in his analysis of the domestic situation and our analysis. If the news that the National Defense Army is about to send troops to the northwest provinces is true, we may really follow what he said. In that way, he will always be huddled in the barren land of Shaanxi Province.

Before the great man finished speaking, the boss retorted with a look of disbelief: "Old Mao, although the land in Shaanxi is barren, it is not useless. Otherwise, it is impossible for Vice Chairman Zhou to bring us The annual income is 120 million oceans. Therefore, I think there is nothing wrong with Shaanxi, as long as the status quo can be maintained.

The great man shook his head and asked the boss, "Boss, do you think 120 million is a lot?"

"Of course..." The boss replied as a matter of course.And analyzed Li Guosheng.

"As far as I know, the fiscal revenue of our entire Shaanxi Province is 180 million oceans, and the 50 Red Army needs to consume only [-] oceans a year. Comrade Enlai got back two-thirds of our Shaanxi Province's fiscal revenue just by going out. .If the money is given to the army, it will be enough for the army to spend at least two years."

Compared with the excitement of the commander-in-chief, the great man who looked deeper into the problem seemed much calmer.Negating to the commander-in-chief: "Boss, this account is not calculated by you."

"Take the fiscal revenue you just mentioned as an example. If we collect public grain in Shaanxi Province according to the national defense poverty tax policy, our fiscal revenue will be reduced by 80 yuan at once."

"After the income of 120 million oceans makes up for the financial hole, there are only a handful of 40 left."

"What can 40 oceans do? If our Red Army soldiers are issued military rings according to the military ringing system of the National Defense Forces, it can only last for a month at most..." (To be continued...)
