Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Jonas asked: "What can you do? I am willing to help you."

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I want to buy a batch of seeds from your country, and I hope Mr. Ambassador can coordinate with it."

Jonas couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about? Seeds?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, I want to buy a batch of the highest quality seeds, including wheat, corn, etc."

Jonas asked, "What do you want these things for?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What else can I do, of course it is to grow food and keep it for eating."

China's agricultural level has been leading the world for a long time, especially China's unique intensive farming production method, which has made China's grain yield per unit area the first in the world for a long time, which is also one of the reasons for China's large population, but in After the mid-Qing Dynasty, due to China's seclusion and the development of Western agricultural technology, China gradually fell behind.

No matter in what era, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and it is impossible for people to go hungry to engage in industry, so Lin Yuan thought of buying high-quality seeds from the UK. Jonas nodded and said: "I will discuss this matter with the domestic ones." Coordinated by merchants."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's already March, and in two months, it's time to plant crops in the Northeast, so I hope you can deliver the seeds as soon as possible." Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "If you can Deliver the seeds within ten days, and I am willing to donate 100 of the 20 million pounds you gave me, what do you think?"

When Jonas heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay! No problem, within ten days, you can send someone to Yingkou Port to pick up the goods."

As soon as Jonas left, Lin Yuan came to the special headquarters and said to Tao Zheng inside: "Help me contact the commanders of each division and the Beijing ship. I want to hold a video conference."

Tao Zheng asked, "Does it have to be video? Isn't audio possible? I'm afraid our transfer power is not that great."

Lin Yuan said: "This matter is very important, it is related to our life and death, so it is very necessary to hold such a meeting."

Tao Zheng said, "Alright then, we can talk to them tonight."

In the evening, everyone from all departments had arrived. With the help of the video call function of the communicator, Lin Yuan saw each chief officer. Lin Yuan said to them: "The reason why the video call is used this time is because I hope It has attracted everyone's attention. In the previous battles, we captured a large number of Russian prisoners of war. I don't know how you deal with them?"

The First Division was the first to start fighting, and they were the first to capture prisoners of war, so the commander of the First Division said first: "After we capture the prisoners of war, we let them work, like we did near Lesozavodsk. When building the fortifications, a large number of prisoners of war were used."

The commander of the third division also said: "We have also captured a lot of prisoners of war, but we have no task of building fortifications here, so the prisoners of war have nothing to do."

Lin Yuan listened to other people's reports and found that most of the prisoners of war were like this, so he asked: "Are these prisoners of war managed well? Is there anyone who disobeys discipline?"

Several division commanders said one after another: "These prisoners of war are very obedient, and none of them disobeyed discipline, and we also used the strategy of Russians to control Russia in the prisoner-of-war camp, so the situation in the prisoner-of-war camp has always been stable." Lin Yuan said: " As long as they are obedient, I called everyone this time to let these prisoners of war do one thing." Lin Yuan deliberately paused at this point, and when everyone's attention turned to him, he said: "Believe everyone We all know that in our time, we need to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness, and we have to do the same thing now.” The Great Northern Wilderness refers to the Nenjiang River Basin in Heilongjiang, the Sanjiang Plain and other vast areas, where the land is fertile and most suitable for farming, but due to the Qing government’s prohibition The Han people entered the Northeast, and there was almost no development here in the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of New China, demobilized soldiers and farmers were organized to open up wasteland and plant here, turning it into a large-scale commodity grain base.Lin Yuan said: "Now we will bring the prisoners of war to the wasteland in different areas and let them open up wasteland for planting. It is not yet the time for planting. We will organize the prisoners of war to burn the wasteland and other work. In ten days or so, high-quality grain seeds will be ready If it can be transported, we will wait until May, when the weather gets warmer, and then we will start planting."

Everyone was silent when they heard this plan, and Lin Yuan went on to say: "I know this matter is very difficult. First of all, there is the issue of prisoners of war. Everyone must be worried that the prisoners of war will escape. In fact, there is no need for it. The Russian soldiers are also real. The real poor, if not for a good meal, they would not join the army, and their life on our side is much better than theirs in the country."

"When we develop to a certain extent, we can even follow their wishes and let these Russian soldiers settle in China and turn them into Chinese citizens. As for the specific plan, we will discuss it after we go back. I hope everyone understands the significance of this matter. Significantly, a considerable part of our grain still needs to be transported from within the pass, and when we complete the reclamation, we will be able to truly achieve self-sufficiency in grain, and we won’t have to rely on the Qing court.”

Han Mingguang asked: "Then what does this matter have to do with our Beijing ship?"

Lin Yuan said: "There are no agricultural experts on our aircraft carrier, but there are many soldiers who used to be farmers, and some officers and soldiers have studied agricultural technology in college. Open up wasteland for technical support."

Han Mingguang said: "Okay, let's start preparing for this."

After these matters were dealt with, Lin Yuan began to deal with the matter of relocating farmers from the aluminum factory. After thinking about it, Lin Yuan contacted Zhang Hua in Beijing, and said with a smile: "Hello, Boss Zhang, I have a A big deal is for you."

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "As long as you look for me, nothing good will happen. Tell me, what's your business?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The British are going to open an aluminum factory near Fengtian, do you know?" Zhang Hua said: "I know about this matter, what's wrong? Does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course, didn't you listen to me? I have a big deal for you. You should quickly establish a Zhang's Aluminum Company in the name of Zhang's Industrial Company. From now on, you will be responsible for this matter." If the company handles it, I won’t show up in public anymore, and the first thing you need to do is to move out the people near the factory site.”

Zhang Hua asked: "Move away? Where to move?"

Lin Yuan said: "Our side is preparing to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness. If these ordinary people are willing, they can come here, and we can give them land."

Zhang Hua nodded and said: "Okay, I will organize people to go to Fengtian, but I have a question, why should I organize people to relocate? Wouldn't it be better for you to use the prestige of the governor of Northeast China to mobilize people to relocate?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I have many enemies in the Qing court, don't you know? If I were to move the common people, they would definitely find all kinds of reasons to label me and cause trouble, so it's up to you to compare good."

When Zhang Hua heard this, he was very annoyed, and said, "It's fine if you have nothing good to do with me, and you let me take the blame for you!"
