Chapter 486 Annual Meeting (3)
The third task is the 5th Olympic Games held in Stockholm, Sweden. Although the influence of the Olympic Games is far less than that of later generations, it is an international sports event after all, and the international influence of the Olympic Games will continue to increase. Therefore, this is the first time China has participated in the Olympic Games in this era. The government will fully support this Olympic Games and allocate special funds from the government's finances to all activities in this Olympic Games. At the same time, it is also required to transform the cruise ships transporting athletes to participate, to ensure that athletes can maintain normal training during the voyage, to rent accommodation in Sweden in advance, establish a special athlete dormitory area, to ensure that athletes have rest and training before the start of the Olympic Games, etc.
At the same time, the Olympic delegation is also required to not only play to their normal level and strive to achieve excellent results in this Olympic Games, but also make full use of this stage to show the style of the Chinese nation to the world and re-establish China's new international image.
After the founding of the country, unification and the Olympic Games, the third five-year plan of the East China Government. During these five years, the East China Government will not only continue to promote the development of industrialization, but also have two new goals:
First, industrial development should go deep into inland areas. In the first two five-year plans, the industrialization development of the East China Government has made great progress, but national-level industrial projects are mainly concentrated in coastal areas. Of course, this is also related to the fact that in the early stage of the second five-year plan, the territory of the East China Government was also mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal areas. However, now the East China Government has occupied most of China, so it seems extremely unbalanced. So in the third five-year plan, industrial development should be promoted to inland provinces such as Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Hubei, Henan, etc., so that industrialization can develop balancedly across the country.
Second, we must try our best to make up for the industrial category. Towards a super-large country like China, industrialization must be comprehensive development and no omissions. In the first two five-year plans, the industrialization of the East China government is mainly an industry that can directly produce industrial products. The advantage of this is that it can produce a large number of industrial products in a short period of time, which can not only meet the needs of its own people, but also export to the outside world and seize the international market. The basic industry, that is, the research and development of machinery and equipment, is insufficient. Now about 60% of the machinery and equipment of the East China government need to be imported, and excluding the machinery and equipment required by the military industry, it is close to 80%. This is easy to be subject to external coercion. Therefore, in this five-year plan, military machinery and equipment must basically be fully domesticized; civil machinery and equipment must exceed 50% of all domesticized.
In this five-year plan, the East China government will carry out the construction of 215 national industrial projects and 335 local industrial projects, with a total investment of approximately RMB 1.5 billion. Two of the most important projects are aircraft manufacturing plants and another synthetic ammonia factory.
The aircraft technology of the East China government has been in the leading position in this era. The number of aircraft equipped in the army has reached nearly 200, which is the largest in this era. Therefore, the establishment of a professional aircraft manufacturing factory naturally put forward a proposal. In this five-year plan, an aircraft manufacturing factory will be officially established. Moreover, the factory site has been selected and set in Wuhan, which is also an important measure to support industrialization in the central region.
Synthetic ammonia technology refers to ammonia synthesized directly by nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of high temperature and high pressure and catalysts. It is a chemical technology jointly developed by the East China Government and Germany. Ammonia is an important raw material used to produce chemical fertilizers. It can be used to make nitrogen fertilizers and composite fertilizers, and it can also be used to make pyrodisiac drugs. In the First World War in the old time and space, Germany was able to last for 4 years under a completely blockade because it invented the synthetic ammonia technology.
The East China government attaches great importance to synthetic ammonia technology, mainly because it is its important position in the fertilizer industry.
After the East China Government implemented land reform, farmers' enthusiasm for production increased significantly. At the same time, the East China Government was also working hard to improve farmers' agricultural technology and built a large number of water conservancy projects. Therefore, under the rule of the East China Government, the yield per mu in various places usually increased by 20%-30%, and the increase in a few areas was even 4,50%. However, this is also the limit of the increase in output when natural organic fertilizers are used.
The growth of crops mainly relies on the three elements of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, which are the main components of chemical fertilizers. In the era without chemical fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizer was mainly ingested from manure and urine, while potassium fertilizer was made of wood ash, while phosphorus fertilizer was ground into powder by bone fish bones. However, the ability to obtain these fertilizers from nature is really limited. Taking nitrogen fertilizer as an example, a mu of land requires about 20-30 people to provide sufficient nitrogen elements. Therefore, without the fertilizer industry, the yield of crops cannot fly over and increase.
In the old time and space, China introduced 13 sets of fertilizer production technologies through 43 plans in the early 1970s, which allowed the average yield of grain crops to be produced on a large scale, so that the average yield of grain crops could be reduced from just over 100 kilograms to about 300 kilograms in the early 1980s, which ensured that China's grain self-sufficiency and completely solved the problem of food and clothing for the people. Another agricultural power, India, although the arable land area is 1.6 times that of China, its grain output is less than half of China. An important reason is that India's fertilizer industry is backward and its output is extremely limited.
Although China has a large land and abundant resources, in terms of population, the area of arable land is not large. Therefore, to ensure that the grain is self-sufficient and completely solve the people's food and clothing problems, it is necessary to develop the fertilizer industry and increase the yield per mu. After the East China government initially established a certain industrial foundation, it immediately cooperated with Germany to develop synthetic ammonia technology. Now this technology is basically mature and can be produced on a large scale. It is also one of the key projects of the third five-year plan.
In addition to the possibility of using fertilizers in this five-year plan, agriculture also has the potential to collect land reform work in the southern region and agricultural water conservancy projects in existing areas. Although chemistry can certainly solve the growth elements of crops, water is also another important factor in crop production. To solve agricultural water use, in addition to building water conservancy projects, there is also the application of water trucks. The Bijing Water Conservancy Project cannot directly reach the edge of most farmlands. This last step also requires a water truck, which can greatly improve efficiency.
In addition, it is to manufacture agricultural machinery to improve agricultural efficiency. Now the East China government can produce cars and tanks, so agricultural tractors are naturally no problem.
The last point is to prepare for the First World War. Although China's history has undergone major changes in this era, there has not been much change in the world. Several major historical events before the First World War, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Three Kingdoms Agreement, the British-German shipbuilding competition, the Second Moroccan Crisis, the Bosmith Crisis, the Italian-Turkey War, etc., have all happened one by one, so there is a high probability that the First World War will still happen.
As the most important historical event in the early 20th century, the East China Government naturally had to deal with it carefully. Although the main battlefield of World War I in the old time and space was in Europe and Asia, the emergence of the East China Government is gradually affecting the world situation. Under the guidance of the East China Government, Germany's military forces have entered Asia, so the East China Government must also be fully prepared.
Due to too many things to make decisions, this annual meeting lasted for five consecutive days, which is also the highest number of annual meetings in history. After the annual meeting, the governors of each province also left Qingdao and returned to the local area.
And at this moment, the East China Government welcomed the first batch of foreign guests, naval soldiers who received warships from Siam and the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
In 1910, both Siam and Ottoman Turkish Empire ordered eight warships from the East China Government.
Among them, the warships ordered by Siam are 2 medium-sized armored cruisers; 2 large cruisers; 4 medium-sized cruisers; the warships ordered by the Ottoman Turkish Empire are 2 fearless battleships, 2 large armored cruisers and 4 large cruisers.
Among the warships ordered by Siam, there are two large cruisers; four medium-sized cruisers have been launched for trial sailing at this time, and two medium-sized armored cruisers have also been launched for installation. After all, Siam is not large in warships ordered by Siam, the largest one is only 8,000 tons, and the construction speed is naturally fast. Moreover, the second five-year shipbuilding plan of the East China Government has been approved, so the dock and ship platform must be freed up as soon as possible to build the East China Government's own warships.
So before the New Year, the East China Government informed Siam to send naval officers and soldiers to the East China Government to participate in the trial voyage of warships, learn how to mount warships, and finally receive warships.
The Ottoman Turkish Empire warships were only two large cruisers launched for trial sailing. Among the other warships, battleships and armored cruisers were still under construction, while the other two large cruisers had just started construction.
It is said that the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not in a hurry to accept these two large cruisers, and only sent a small number of soldiers to participate in the trial voyage, but the situation in Europe is very tense now.
Although the second Moroccan crisis finally ended peacefully with France's concessions, Germany won the French Congo, greatly expanding its West African colony area, and was naturally satisfied. However, France and Britain were quite annoyed, and the contradiction with Germany further deepened.
On the other hand, Italy launched the Italian-Turkish War in order to seize the Ottoman Turkish Empire's northern territory Tripoli and Cyrenega. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire involved all forces, Germany, as a member of the ally, both expressed their support for Italy and persuaded the Ottoman Turkish Empire to accept Italy's demands.
