    The symbol representing the level of modern industry is steel and coal output.  By the beginning of 1919, Northeast China accounted for 85% and 82% of the country's total output respectively, which were 10% and 15% of Japan's during the same period. They were 28% and 35% higher than those before the Northeast New Deal.

    These numbers are dynamic and increasing, because according to news from the Intelligence Headquarters of Japan's Kwantung Army, several more tens of millions of tons of iron ore and coal mines are being discovered in Heilongjiang - in fact, this data is not reliable.  , Zhang Hanqing wisely chose to keep these numbers down.

    After nearly one and a half years of hard work, the Pingqi Line was completed and officially opened to traffic in early 1919. A new branch line of the North-Manchuria Railway extending from Harbin to the northeast along the Songhua River to Jiamusi is also being accepted.  At this point, transportation trunk lines in the northeastern part of Jilin and the entire province of Heilongjiang are connected in all directions, which has greatly enhanced the economic development of the Songhua River Basin.

    The reason why this big move was able to be completed when financial resources were obviously insufficient was that the people along the railway line contributed a lot.  Zhang Hanqing issued railway coupons to solve the serious shortage of funds.  This coupon not only meets daily needs, but the rest is stipulated to be redeemed after three years, which greatly saves cash flow.  The poor and homeless people were not too keen on this coupon at first, but after the working group sent by the People's Party went to the countryside to promote the village, the farmers who had gained trust in the government because they were allocated land were more willing to believe that it was true.

    In addition, attracted by the ability to reduce labor rations, millions of migrant workers can be seen busy on the railway lines during the off-farm time.  At that time, transportation conditions were extremely backward. All the sleepers, rails, and even foundation stones used in building railways were pulled from the muddy and difficult-to-travel wilderness with extremely primitive handcarts. Zhang Hanqing said with emotion: "The completion of the Pingqi Line is a milestone for Northeast China."  It was pushed out by the common people.¡±

    Because these places are not within Japan¡¯s traditional sphere of influence, the Zhangs and his sons started building infrastructure with confidence and boldness. On the contrary, the construction of Fengtian Province lagged behind Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang provinces.  With the gradual decline of Soviet Russia's power, Zhang Zuolin actually gained much more strength than during the same period in official history.

    With the acceleration of the urbanization process, Harbin has suddenly emerged and has shown its huge radiation and influence as a provincial capital city and an important node on the Middle East Road.  Historically, by the late 1920s and early 1930s, Harbin was already the second largest international metropolis in Asia, second only to Tokyo and far stronger than Shanghai.  There are 34 foreign-funded banks opening branches here, with direct business relationships with international financial centers such as Paris and New York. The financial dynamics of Harbin Port influence the financial situation of the Far East; the number of foreign commercial institutions in Harbin once reached 1,809.

    ?Through the efforts of the "Three Northeastern Provinces Planning Committee" personally headed by Zhang Hanqing, the national economic operation, transportation, and industrial construction of the three Northeastern provinces are many times better than in official history.  Various feedbacks show that the efforts of the clique government have accelerated the development of Northeast China.

    Politically, the People's Party, with Zhang Hanqing as its chairman, made great progress, established party branches in various places like mushrooms after rain, and controlled the parliaments of the three northeastern provinces with the support of Zhang Zuolin and others, becoming a pivotal political force.  The People's Party's reliance has officially become three associations: farmers' associations, chambers of commerce, and parliament.  The Farmers' Association is based on the "Northeast Land Reform Committee"; the Chamber of Commerce is based on official and business capital such as Zhang Zuolin and Yu Aozhou, and Yu Aozhou has even become the richest man in the Northeast; the Parliament is completely controlled by the People's Party, because the nomination rights of members are not  It is in the hands of chambers of commerce, farmers¡¯ associations and governments at all levels.

    Although Zhang Zuolin, who believed that "power comes from the barrel of a gun", did not really understand the abilities and functions of these "scholars" at first, when the crowns of "disciplined leader" and "enlightened commander" were fully placed on his head, he  But the support for the People's Party is stronger than ever.  Compared with his original government base: a coalition of soldiers and gentlemen, the political management model proposed by the People's Party can more effectively eliminate military dictatorship - soldiers are not included in the scope of political management at all, but are subject to  In politics, this is a healthy administration.

    He once served as the honorary chairman of the People¡¯s Party as a gesture, and now he has become a member of the Party¡¯s Central Standing Committee in a grand manner.  With a gun in one hand, he can also speak out in public about the benefits of special talks: anything he wants to do will be implemented in the name of parliament; if he is dissatisfied with the central government's decision-making, he can also speak out and correct it.  Shundi used the excuse of "contrary to the public opinion of the three eastern provinces" to block the decree.  He has truly tasted the benefits of partisan politics. This soft knife looks much better than the appearance of forceful opposition.

    Of course, the People's Party still fails to realize the party's expectations of running the government, but that is only in form.  Now the People's Party's tentacles have penetrated into every corner of the three northeastern provinces, and more than 30% of government officials, especially senior officials, have joined the People's Party.  Two military governors: Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen, became the new members of the Central Standing Committee.

    Due to the establishment of the arsenal, Fengjun became the only military force in China at that timeFrom then until the end of World War II, even when the Western Front of the Soviet Union was in the most difficult and critical times, Japan did not dare to start another war on the Eastern Front, even though Japan and Germany had concluded an alliance treaty.

    So Japan is a bad wolf. When it encounters a sheep, of course it will feast on it.  If China were a rhinoceros, the wolf would have to avoid its two sharp horns.  And if China were a lion, Japan's national character would be unwilling to do so, but it could only pretend to be a dog with its tail between its legs - the Japanese's behavior towards the victorious United States in official history is enough to prove everything.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????? Based on the current situation, do the Zhangs and their sons have the ability to beat the Japanese wolf to death?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
