Chapter 257 Sinopec

The Wuhan Municipal Government is newly built. It is a very simple two-story building with three buildings arranged in a row. There are no walls, let alone a guard. It is said that the mayor Yan Xishan is unconventional and claims that he was elected by the parliament.

People need to be protected.

Marshal Fang believed what others said, and what Yan Xishan said even to death would not be believed. Yan Xishan, who left Shanxi, is really living with his tail between his legs now. After the dream of Shanxi's native emperor was shattered, Yan Laoxi still behaved himself. Lao Yan

He was not good at leading troops, and his fighting skills were not good, but he did have a way of governing the place. In parallel time and space, compared to other places, people in Shanxi could live and work in peace and contentment. In that era, it can be said to be quite rare.

After Yan Xishan took office, he had a good reputation in the local area, and the local governance was only in an orderly manner. Fang Jianxiong, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at the door with a guard, which shocked Yan Laoxi. Speaking of which, in Wuhan, this

In an area with a relatively developed economy, Yan Xishan is still very comfortable staying there. It would be a lie if he said he had no resentment in his heart. But it is all in the past. His opponents at that time, Chen Shufan and Wen Shouquan, were all sent to the northwest.

While competing with the horse bandits, he struggled through life. The current governor of Shanxi is Zhang Shixiu. With the support of Marshal Fang, he naturally became the governor.

"Fushuai, why didn't you send someone to say hello when you came? It's your humble duty to go out to greet you." Yan Xishan hurriedly got up from his seat, feeling that Fang Jianxiong's emotions were very complicated. How should I put it? When he was the local emperor in Shaanxi, he always

During Yan Jiuding's days, his mood was naturally different.

"The office of your city government doesn't even have a yard, so people can come and go at will. I just walked around and took a look. Brother Baichuan is a good mayor." Fang Jianxiong said with a smile, followed by Yan Xishan

Cold sweat started to break down my spine, and I was thinking hard, whether I had failed to do something, and Fang Jianxiong had seen it.

"A prize for supporting the handsome man!" He was thinking in his mind, but the expression on Yan Laoxi's face did not change, he still kept a smile and was very calm.

"Baichuan is too humble. I really think that the three towns of Wuhan have done very well in recent years. The streets are very clean and the market is prosperous. These are all the contributions of Brother Baichuan. By the way, I want to go to Huangpi Special Administrative Region to have a look. Let's go quietly together

Just take one look and leave." Fang Jianxiong said and blinked. Yan Xishan didn't expect that Marshal Fang, who usually has a father-in-law face, would still have the heart to play this. What does this mean? It means that Fu Shuai is in a good mood. It seems that what he just said is not ironic.

.

The Huangpi Special Economic Zone has changed so much that Fang Jianxiong, who came here again, no longer recognizes it. Standing on an asphalt road more than ten meters wide, with his hands on his hips, Fang Jianxiong saw factories one after another. The large chimneys erected on the edge of the Yangtze River.

It is a power plant. Song Weichen's thermal power plant has an annual power generation capacity of 500,000 kilowatts. It is expected that the third phase of the project will be completed by the end of the year, and the power generation capacity will reach 800,000 kilowatts. Due to development needs, the power plant project was divided into five phases. By the end of 1919

Once completed, the power generation capacity will reach two million kilowatts.

A horn sounded, and a Ford Model T came oncoming. Fang Jianxiong gave way to the roadside, and Yan Xishan's face was hesitant. When he was about to teach this driver who didn't know the heights of the world a lesson, a head popped out of the car and exclaimed

: "God, isn't this Fu Shuai? Why are you here?"

Fang Jianxiong took a closer look and saw that it was actually Li Ziyun, a former cigarette dealer. Now he is no longer in the tobacco business. After the victory of the Sino-Japanese War in Qingdao, taking advantage of this trend, a large-scale anti-smoking campaign was launched across the country. Now he wants to smoke

You have to go to the concession to smoke tobacco. But now the inspections are very strict. If you are a cigarette dealer, if you are caught carrying more than 10 taels, it will be a death penalty.

"Brother Li, you seem to be doing well. You've already boarded a special car." Fang Jianxiong greeted with a smile, without any airs of a handsome man. Li Ziyun's heart trembled, he rolled out of the car and quickly explained: "

This car was produced by Americans in a factory in the Special Administrative Region. It was officially put into production last month. I was forced to buy one. They asked the local government to support them, so I had no choice but to buy one and spent a thousand yuan."

Li Ziyun has some wealth. He is currently the deputy governor in charge of industry and commerce. The post of Hubei governor is temporarily represented by Yan Xishan. Li Ziyun privately told some congressmen that Yan Xishan is not from Hubei and that a Hubei person should be elected.

Governor. On weekdays, Li Ziyun doesn't like Yan Xishan's account very much.

Yan Xishan is well aware of this matter, but with the support of Marshal Fang, he is not afraid of this local snake in Hubei. In addition, as the mayor of Wuhan, his power is far greater than that of Li Ziyun.

Fang Jianxiong waited for Li Ziyun to stand firm, then he smiled and said: "Brother Li's style is still as good as before. It's a joy to congratulate him. Recently, the president submitted a bill to the parliament that the governors of each province will have a five-year term, which is coming soon. Mr. Sun

It means that the governors of each province should be nominated by the president and submitted to Congress for review, eliminating the original method of being elected by each provincial assembly. Brother Li, what do you think of this bill?"

Li Ziyun's back was instantly soaked with sweat. Fang Jianxiong's words must have meant something.

"This bill is very good. The president is far-sighted. Most of the provincial governors are locals. There are indeed many shortcomings." Li Ziyun quickly expressed his feelings. After Fang Jianxiong achieved his goal, he smiled and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.

: "Let's take a walk and see what the Huangpi Special Economic Zone looks like today."

Yan Xishan felt relieved, but also secretly shocked. Even though Fang Jianxiong was not in Wuhan, he was aware of what was happening on the ground in Hubei. This shows that his strategy of keeping his tail between his legs was really correct.

Li Ziyun was determined to make up for his mistakes, and asked the driver to inform Zhu Xiufeng while acting as a temporary guide. As the deputy governor in charge of industry and commerce, he knew the situation of Huangpi Special Zone very well.

"Fushuai, please look at the petrochemical plant jointly run by China and the United States, which produces on-site production. However, the progress of this plant is not good. It has been more than a year and has not been officially put into production. Look at the mining machinery factory run by the Americans.

This factory was put into operation at the beginning of the year. Now coal mines in Jiangxia, iron mines in Daye, coal mines and iron mines in Jiangxi and Anhui have come to order equipment from this factory." Fang Jianxiong suddenly stopped when he heard this and said to Yang Yongtai behind him

Said: "For the record, we have proposed to France to assist in the construction of a petrochemical company and to purchase crude oil from Yan'anqiang in Myanmar. If the French do not agree, our country will reconsider increasing the participation of the expeditionary force in the war. Also, contact the British and increase the number of

Procurement of diesel and gasoline share from them.”

Yang Yongtai was skilled in movements and could record quickly even while standing. After handing it to Fang Jianxiong for his signature, he took it back into his bag. The group continued to walk forward, and Li Ziyun hesitated and said: "Fushuai, American diesel.

Gasoline and kerosene are indeed cheaper than those from the British, so why do we still need to purchase them from the British? And for this petrochemical plant, purchasing crude oil from foreign countries for refining is really not as economical as purchasing refined oil directly."

Fang Jianxiong glanced at Li Ziyun with a half-smile but not a smile. This kid was pretending to be stupid and cute. He was just looking for an excuse to let Marshal Fang scold him. Who doesn't know that if he doesn't have the petrochemical industry in his hands, he is the throat of industrial development?

It’s a shame. In the past two years, Mobil’s exploration team has been wandering around China and came to the conclusion that China is poor in oil.

Fang Jianxiong naturally took this conclusion as a joke. Fang Dashuai knew very well whether China had oil. The problem was that this conclusion was drawn by Mobil. This shows that Americans are not willing to see China have its own petrochemical industry.

Industrial. Now that the Americans have taken Joe, they can turn to France. Now the French are begging China to increase the number of the expeditionary force. The first question they asked was at least thirty infantry divisions. The French enthusiastically said that they could provide three

The equipment of ten heavy artillery regiments, ten large-caliber artillery regiments with a caliber of more than 200, and the equipment of five armored brigades. In short, as long as the Chinese are willing to increase their troops, the French can discuss everything. Whether to continue to increase their troops, the domestic or

There is quite a bit of controversy. The twenty-one main infantry divisions went to Europe, and there was some tension in the domestic military strength. Although the troops were quickly replenished, can the new recruits compare with the veterans? Now the country still maintains seven

The strength and combat effectiveness of the ten infantry divisions has dropped a lot compared to before. However, infantry is easy to handle. After half a year of training, they can be thrown on the battlefield. After a battle, they will all be veterans. As for the size of casualties, how can anyone survive in the battle?

human.

After the explanation, Fang Jianxiong lost interest and turned back to Yan Xishan: "Brother Baichuan, go back. Send someone to inform the US consul that the Chinese government is seriously dissatisfied with the construction progress of the Sino-US petrochemical enterprise in which Mobil participated. If the United States

There is no guarantee that it will be officially put into operation before the end of the year, so the petrochemical plant can be shut down."

Because of such an incident, Marshal Fang ended his trip to Wuhan in a hurry and took a boat up the river to Chongqing. Fang Jianxiong has not spent much thought on the Sichuan issue. With the domestic political situation generally stable, this matter must be cautious

Treat it. Before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos. The Kingdom of Tianfu is rich and has a special geographical location, so it is easy to form local warlords. Thinking about the Sichuan Civil War in parallel time and space, your scalp will explode. In this time and space, Fang Jianxiong will definitely kill this trend.

.

When Marshal Fang continued on his way, American Minister Ryans encountered a lot of trouble. Because of the tilt of the Chinese government, Ryans was highly recognized by the U.S. government. It is estimated that after one term, he will be promoted after returning to China.

But in recent days, the atmosphere has been a bit wrong. I went to see Sun Baoqi several times, but was blocked. Some American businessmen also responded that some of the Chinese government's procurement projects have officially notified American businessmen that after the existing contracts are implemented, they will
Chapter completed!
