Chapter 223: The Navy’s Problem (2)

"Then let's do this first, step by step." Fang Jianxiong confirmed, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Jianxiong had grievances against the navy, and everyone knew it in their hearts. Sa Zhenbing was too old, and there were too many criticisms against him.

.

"Who will pick up the Minister of the Navy?" Zhang Xiaohuai asked a sharp question. In fact, the three of them had their own answers to this question. Huang Xing would not express his position on this issue. The water in the Navy was too muddy, and Huang Xing had always been

Don't touch it. Jiang Fangzhen's mind is relatively simple. Anyone can do it, as long as he has the ability. Zhang Xiaohuai, a Hunan native, has some more ideas, otherwise he would not take the initiative to raise this issue. He just wants to see what Fang Jianxiong wants.

Huang Xing was still very smart. He smiled and said, "Fuguo, what do you mean?"

Fang Jianxiong thought for a while and then said: "Let Mr. Sa take over the role, and add another member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, who will also hold the post of Mr. Sa." This answer made the three of them stunned, and then they felt ashamed. They were worried that Fang Jianxiong would make a big move against the navy, but they didn't know that Fang Jianxiong

The dissatisfaction with the Navy is no longer as strong as it was during the Battle of Qingdao. The reason why the Navy is afraid of the Japanese Navy is that the gap in strength is too large. The original Military Commission only had four standing committee members, and one was added to the Standing Committee. Marshal Fang has good intentions.

ah.

Huang Xing was the first to react, and he raised his hands to Fang Jianxiong and said, "I am ashamed of Huang Xing for helping the country so generously!" The other two people also smiled and said nothing, and their actual thoughts were the same as Huang Xing's. I always felt that Fang Jianxiong was dissatisfied with the navy.

, we must deal with it severely. I didn’t expect that it would be such a result.

Fang Jianxiong knew what they meant and explained with a smile: "Actually, you are not mistaken, I have the intention to mobilize the navy. During the Battle of Qingdao, I really hoped that someone from the navy would come out to volunteer. Unfortunately, there was no one. The navy

It is much weaker than Japan, but because it is weak, it does not have the courage to fight. That is the real sadness. In the past month, I have been thinking about this issue, and finally I understand the painstaking efforts of Sa Lao. As Keqiang said,

The Navy's foundation is too weak to afford trouble. Now we have a contract with the Americans. Within three years, the United States will deliver two battle cruisers and Jiangnan Factory will start construction of two heavy cruisers. This can be said to be an explanation for the navy. I might as well give it to you here.

After all, we still need to be able to build warships ourselves. Relying on procurement is not a long-term solution. Once the two heavy cruisers of the Jiangnan Factory are completed, we will have experience in producing warships of 10,000 tons or more. In ten years, related

Steam turbines, armor steel and other pillar industries have reached a certain scale, and we still need to build battleships ourselves. My plan is that within ten years, the country will at least reach the level of being able to build battleships of more than 40,000 tons."

After saying this, Huang Xing clapped his thigh excitedly and said, "If Mr. Sa knew this, he would be unable to sleep even if he screamed at night."

Jiang Fangzhen laughed after hearing this and said: "So, the matter of adding a standing committee member of the Military Commission is considered approved?"

Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Let me in, I want to see Fuguo." Huang Xing's ears were very sharp. When he heard this, he laughed and said: "Cai Heqing is coming to kill you. Fuguo, you are in trouble, very likely."

**They need money. I met Mr. Ji Zhi a while ago, and after hearing what he said, I don’t even dare to stay in the office at work. I’m always asking for money!”

Zhang Xiaohuai laughed after hearing this and said: "No amount of investment in education is too much." This statement actually aroused everyone's approval. This is not surprising at all. The current situation of this country is that it lacks talents. Where do talents come from? It is naturally education.

"That's it. Brother Keqiang will officially inform Mr. Sa. I'm going to see Mr. Heqing." Fang Jianxiong stood up and handed over his hands, and came out to see Cai Yuanpei. When Minister Cai saw Fang Jianxiong coming out, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Fang Jianxiong's hand.

Dayou refused to let go and said: "Fuguo, you must give me an accurate answer today. Currently, there are only 1,500 publicly funded international students in Europe and the United States every year, which is too few, too few. It must be increased to 2,000

people."

Fang Jianxiong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mr. Heqing, let go of me first, otherwise I won't run away." Cai Yuanpei then let go, Fang Jianxiong smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Heqing, two thousand people is still a little less, you are too good.

Pursued.”

When Cai Yuanpei heard this, his eyes immediately became round, and he said anxiously: "What did you say? Two thousand people are missing? What? Missing? Fuguo, what do you mean?" Cai Yuanpei said and wanted to arrest again.

Marshal Fang dodged Fang Jianxiong's hand very quickly this time.

"Mr. Heqing, don't get excited. Let's talk slowly." Cai Yuanpei put away his hand in embarrassment and said, "Okay, talk slowly. Actually, I'm really anxious. Now every province in the country wants to open engineering universities.

But there is a shortage of talents everywhere. A few days ago, Prime Minister Tang told me that within ten years, a university of science and technology will be established in every province in the country. The task is too heavy."

Fang Jianxiong smiled and made a gesture of invitation. It was impossible to face someone like Cai Yuanpei without a little respect in his heart. The two of them walked slowly in the yard. As they walked, Fang Jianxiong said with a smile: "Brother Jiwu said

I mentioned the matter to him. At that time, he asked me for money, and said that Mr. Ji Zhi from the Ministry of Finance was very poor. This is what I thought about this matter. I wanted to raise some funds from the private sector to build a large education foundation.

. We have built one in Wuhan before. Now we can build a bigger one, based on the scale of 5,000 people studying in Europe and the United States every year. I will be responsible for raising funds from the private sector, and Mr. Lao Heqing will be responsible for the specific operation.

One thing, I want to explain in advance, I don’t care who is responsible for this fund, but it cannot be handed over to government departments.”

After hearing this, Cai Yuanpei thought for a while, then nodded silently and said: "Okay, it's up to you. I'll recommend two people, Yan Xiu and Zhang Boling." After hearing this name, Fang Jianxiong secretly said, and he became awe-inspiring.

Dear Lord, this is the originator of Nankai.

"Okay, I will follow Mr. Heqing's wishes. These two are pure people who sacrifice their family property to run education. I won't come out specifically about how to do it. Mr. Heqing will do your best and tell you. In a few days, Eurasia Group will

Mr. Gu Heng, the CEO of Mr. Gu Heng, is going north and passing through Tianjin. Is it okay to ask you two gentlemen to go to the train station?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile, and Cai Yuanpei said: "No problem." In fact, at this time, Cai Yuanpei was very worried.

Not calm, just now Fang Jianxiong said that Yan Xiu and Zhang Boling gave up their family to run education, so why not Fang Jianxiong? Who doesn’t know that Eurasia Group is Fang Jianxiong’s private property? Looking at the bigger picture, Fang Jianxiong did not only give up his family’s property to run the country, but also

Is education so simple? Isn't it true that Fang Jianxiong built the entire National Defense Force with his own money? For this country, no one can compare with Fang Jianxiong who has done the most.

"Funding the country, this is not a small sum of money!" Cai Yuanpei couldn't bear it anymore and said ashamedly.

"What do you need so much money for? To me, money is a symbol. Future generations will have their own blessings. A good country is better than anything else. At present, the country's finances are in difficulty, but the construction of national education cannot afford to wait.

Ah. I personally have some money, but I can’t keep it and have babies. This year

The first start-up capital is a little smaller, about 30 million yuan, and there will be a guaranteed investment of 50 million yuan every year in the future. If the scale of studying abroad expands in the future, the investment can be increased." Fang Jianxiong said so easily that Cai Yuanpei was already trembling slightly.

Yes. This is exciting!

"Fuguo, what do you want me to say?" Cai Yuanpei sighed and hesitated. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and said with a smile, "It goes without saying, as long as the money can be used on students. I don't know how to use it.

Q. I have a suggestion: establish an open and transparent fund flow system. Announce it to the public. We should turn this foundation into a foundation for talents from all walks of life across the country. Only in this way can we bring together the power of the private sector and use it for education.

.”

While Fang Jianxiong and Cai Yuanpei were talking, Huang Xing took the initiative to go to the Admiralty Department. The car stopped, entered the gate, passed the courtyard, and then came out. "Minister Keqiang is here in a big way, and it's hard to welcome him from afar!" Senior qualifications

It was a great honor to greet him with a warm smile. Huang Xing was not a stingy person in the first place, and whether he greeted him or not was not a big deal.

"Mr. Ming is very polite. Huang Xing is here on official business. Since it is official business, there is no need to welcome him." Although Huang Xing didn't care, when he thought of Fang Jianxiong's generosity to the navy, he felt a little uncomfortable.

We need to seek some justice. Speaking of which, Sa Zhen Bing relied on his old age and acted too much, which Huang Xing couldn't stand.

"Oh, is it business? Then please go to the office to talk, Mr. Minister." Sa Zhenbing put away his polite smile, feeling a little uneasy. He actually knew some things very well.

"No need, let's just leave it here. Fuguo said that there were too many red tapes in the former Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China should try to correct them. Let's just say it here. The official document will be out soon." In front of everyone waiting at the Navy Department, Huang Xing

The words were polite, but actually there was something else in them. Everyone could feel that the faces of the people in the Admiralty were a little unnatural.

"Please make an announcement, Minister Keqiang!" Sa Zhenbing could only face it calmly. It must be directed at him. Since he has decided to protect the development of the navy, what is a little wind and rain?

Seeing that there was something tragic in his expression, Huang Xing couldn't help but secretly chuckle in his heart, but with a very serious face he said: "The Standing Committee of the Military Commission has just concluded its regular meeting, and after deliberation by all members of the Standing Committee, it was unanimously decided. From now on, Sa Zhenbing will be

He was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Affairs Commission, Deputy Minister of Defense and Minister of the Navy. In addition, from now on, the personnel power of the Navy Department above the rank of colonel will be transferred up to the Ministry of National Defense, and the army will be similar to the navy, and appointments above the brigade will be transferred up."

The change in Sa Zhenbing's expression was really wonderful. From trying hard to stay calm at first, he slowly turned into opening his mouth and being speechless. After a few ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he finally uttered one sentence: "Here, prepare the car!"

"

When Huang Xing saw this, he sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that he had known this, why did he do it in the first place? Then he said lightly: "Ming Lao, you are being pretentious."
