Chapter 62 New Developments
After the New Year in 1920, Xingmin Company made some personnel adjustments and promoted and dismissed a group of outstanding management talents that emerged during the winter water conservancy and highway construction. The militia even expanded four over-partition battalions and more than 3,200 people in one go, based on three regular battalions and one second-line preparation battalion, and formed two regiments with the previous three battalions. The regiment's automobile company, telephone communication company and artillery battalion were also formed in this expansion operation.
After suppressing several landlords and several stubborn and hard-working members of Baise, Baise's new policy was finally successfully developed, and the land was redistributed to the farmers. Some troublemakers who had to pass through their own land and asked for sky-high compensation were also forced to be detained. Although Duan Guoxue felt that he was the same as some people in later generations, in the face of the interests of most people, the interests of these small groups naturally became objects of neglect and abandonment. Fortunately, Duan Guoxue mastered the advantageous tool of public opinion, and once these people were asked for prices and deliberately made things difficult for them, the people naturally pointed the finger of the accusation against these opposing elements under their deliberate guidance.
However, not everything went so smoothly, because last time he scolded Zan Zhitong mercilessly in the carton factory, the kid packed his luggage the next day. After two days of ideological struggle, Si Yuefei decided to leave here and return to his hometown. Duan Guoxue felt incompetent when he saw the girl's sad and helpless eyes, but he really didn't know what to do to save her. In a sad mood, Duan Guoxue devoted all his energy to scientific research work, and he wanted to use endless work to forget these things that hurt him.
Crazy efforts will inevitably bring great returns. With the efforts of Duan Guoxue and several scientific research groups, a large number of scientific and technological achievements have been successfully put into production. The successful production of a 2,000-ton hydraulic press has solved the problem that key parts such as bearings and other plagued by the plague of large machinery and equipment have been unqualified. With the help of large-tonnage hydraulic presses, some medium-sized hydropower station generator sets have been successfully put into production, solving the obstacles of power load. All factories can finally start production with all their efforts again.
After two months of hard research, the steel plant formed a technical research team and Duan Guoxue, which reached the end of the 20th time of the future, was successfully produced. With high-quality steel, some products that were unable to be put into mass production for a long time can also enter the mass production stage. The first batch of products using high-quality steel were eighteen 75mm howitzers. The range of this batch of howitzers far exceeded the current range of 8 kilometers of the same caliber, reaching an astonishing 15 kilometers. The 125mm howitzers with a range of 29 kilometers will also be put into production in half a year.
Although the 300-horsepower high-power diesel engine was not very high in later generations, it was placed on an off-road truck with a load of 5 tons, which gave the militia a qualitative leap. The first batch of 20 vehicles on the semi-open Baise-Pingguo highway not only accelerated the construction of the road, but also shocked the neighbors who did not know why the road was built.
High-quality special steel reduces the weight and fuel consumption of aircraft engines, but the output power increases exponentially. The newly developed 480-horsepower aircraft engine and newly designed and produced fighter jets that fly faster and farther have begun to allow more students to fill in pilots when choosing a career.
What made Duan Guoxue even more happy was that he discovered an oil field in Baise area. Although the amount of oil was not large, it was an exciting event for Duan Guoxue, whose oil was always from overseas. The corresponding series of industrial construction such as oil refineries and related factories have also begun to invest.
In terms of people's livelihood, on the one hand, there is a big stick of imprisonment and confiscation of property, on the other hand, there are various preferential investment policies, and many landlords who are also boycotting the new reform policies have begun to shake their confidence in the land, and some landlords with a little vision have begun to sell their land to invest in and build factories under the guidance of Xingmin Company. After tasting the sweetness, more landlords began to sell their land by example and practice and real interests, so they have been well established.
In terms of education, Duan Guoxue began to build township-level basic schools, although the pressure on independent schools has greatly alleviated the pressure on Duan Guoxue, it also brought certain economic pressure to Duan Guoxue. Fortunately, the teaching assistants to promote education are a good thing with great merit in the eyes of the people, and there are not many twists and turns. However, the order for girls to enter school also made some people a little confused and incomprehensible, but no one dared to jump out and confront them in the face of prisons and heavy punishments.
In terms of military and political affairs, small-scale troops were sent out to ambush and clear the smuggling horse gangs and bandits from time to time. Among them, Heitouling, which had a deep grudge against Duan Guoxue, became the first target to be cleared. With the dispatch of Shadow Special Forces and a reinforced battalion, the old nest that Heitouling had worked hard for many years turned into ruins with the shelling of the 86mm mortar, and the bandits who dared to form a suicide squad and wanted to fight a bloody road quickly turned into a piece of ruin in the high-speed shooting of the tearing machine gun.
The sieve spewed blood, stuck to the last fortifications, and the bandit leaders in the cave were also removed by precise grenades and hand grenades. For a moment, it turned out that horse smuggling bandits and bandits who were rampant in these counties changed their routes and fled the dead area. Some of them chose to surrender to the government under Duan Guoxue's high-pressure policy. The gradually improved social security and living environment made the people recognize Duan Guoxue and his government. The bumper harvest of food obtained in Baise in the same year also made Duan Guoxue's new policy confident when promoting it.
At the same time, the annihilation of horse smuggling bandits and bandits also caused the price of opium in Duan Guoxue's ruling area to soar. Duan Guoxue took advantage of the situation to clean up the cancer that was introduced to China from the middle of the last century. The trafficking of opium, something that could make huge profits in other places, was a severe punishment.
By 1922, Duan Guoxue's actual ruling territory had expanded to the junction of Longlin, Nandan, Guangxi and Guizhou. When dealing with the local ethnic minority issues, Duan Guoxue had become the actual ruler, after a series of new laws were introduced, many unfair and unfair things were gradually eliminated with the shock of killing chickens and respecting monkeys several times. Under the leadership of Gan Fulin's father, he first tasted the fruits of the villages that cooperated with Duan Guoxue in friendly terms.
The rice, high income from studying and working in the factory, can drive a big monster that doesn’t have to eat grass and run around the ground, and some people can drive something called a plane to return to their village to throw their letters. All these real things have made more ethnic minorities let go of their guard against the Han people outside, slowly walked out of the mountains to understand these new things, and gradually recognized that more and more outsiders entered the mountainous areas that were previously prohibited from entering by prospecting and opening the road.
