Facing Mu Xiangyue's praise, Li Zicheng's heart-wrenching smile. What he "can see thoroughly" is the answer obtained in the book "Overview of Manchuria Management Strategy" formulated by Gentaro Goto after the end of the Russo-Japanese War.

"However, from outsiders, Goto operates the Manchurian Railway, which is a comprehensive operation centered on the railway. The cities established by the stations along the railway greatly promoted the commercial prosperity of the South Manchurian area. As early as five years ago, when the Manchurian Railway was actually built, nine important station locations, including Wafangdian, Gaiping, Xiongyue, Dashi, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Fengtian, Tieling, Changchun, and Dalian, the location of Kanto Prefecture, were selected as the first phase of the city street construction city. Now, Gongzhuling, Siping Street, Kaiyuan, Anshan, Fushun, and Benxi were added, and specific city street plans were formulated for this."

After sipping tea and moistening his throat, Li Zicheng continued.

"The Japanese invest in factories in Manchuria and are concentrated in markets near the stations. Even Chinese people choose to operate industries in their affiliated areas. The tax on their factories and shops is also paid to Manchuria Railway Company, factory and shops to promote the prosperity of railway affiliated areas along the route, resulting in an increase in land prices and rents, which has led to unprecedented profits from Manchuria Railway Company. In the past five years, Manchuria Railway Company has made up for the Japanese finances of hundreds of millions of yen with its revenue, and of which railway revenue only accounts for 30% of them. This is precisely the result of its comprehensive operation centered on railways..."

When Li Zicheng was talking about the Manchu Iron who learned from papers and books in his memory, what came to his mind was Goto Shinhei's "cultural military equipment". Since Goto Shinhei took over the Manchu Iron, he couldn't wait to propose the colonialist rule strategy of "cultural military equipment".

The word "military equipment in cultural costumes" has different contents over time. In short, the initial "military equipment in cultural costumes" was to use cultural facilities in preparation for foreign invasions, which could also help with force operations in the event of sudden incidents. This proposition of Goto Shinhei, vividly speaking, seemed to be wrapped in a strong soldier in the costume of a literati.

But one thing is certain. Goto Shinhei wants to strengthen military strength by developing economic power in Northeast China, rather than nakedly strengthening military strength. In fact, there is another meaning in his "cultural military preparation" rule strategy, which is to better apply the usual means "king and domineering" he implemented in Taiwan to the political and administrative management of the Manchurian Railway.

Goto Shinhei believed that "the colonial policy of the empire is domineering", and it must be implemented and implemented with tough means; but at the same time, the "king way" should be implemented appropriately. The so-called "king way" means "building a broad civilized society" by "developing economy, academic, education, health, etc.". Goto Shinhei also wanted to use these specific measures to win people's hearts, erase the national spirit of the Chinese people, and "make it convert to the empire". The "king way" here is just a means, with great concealment and deception. And "domineering" is the fundamental purpose.

His ultimate goal was to turn all the areas that the Manchu Railway could reach into Japan. It was under the guidance of this "cultural military preparation" idea that the Manchu Railway established a series of scientific, cultural, educational and sanitary facilities. It opened a large number of schools and carried out colonial slave education to cultivate talents for the long-term colonial rule in the future; it established many hospitals, and strived to make each hospital have the function of a field hospital. The Manchu Railway Central Laboratory was established to comprehensively promote and develop scientific and technological colonization in Northeast China, and the Manchu Railway Investigation Department was established to prepare for the comprehensive invasion of China.

At the same time, the Manchurian Railway has invested in electrical businesses, market companies, exchanges, newspapers, etc. that are operated alone or supported by investment in cities along the railway. These measures are all under the guise of developing the economy and culture and education, and to achieve the goal of strengthening military strength. This method has been an important and indispensable measure for the entire 40 years of Manchurian Railway's operation.

"...Now, Brother Ou Chu, you should know my purpose..."

Finally, after nearly an hour of explanation, Li Zicheng's voice suddenly became nervous. Looking at Mu Xiangyue sitting in front of him, as a young man, who can do not have his own ambitions?

"Build China's own Manchuria in China!"

After a powerful word sounded, the room fell into silence.

Mu Xiangyue, who was nearly 40 years old, looked at Li Zicheng who seemed a little excited in front of him. He was only twenty-three years old, but his ambition was not...

Gladiating the ambition of the young man, Mu Xiangyue didn't say anything, but thought for a while before hesitating.

"Zhiyuan, you should know that this is China, and we are Chinese!"

Did he forget this realistic problem? He is a Chinese. In China, foreigners can do many things, but Chinese people cannot do it. In other words, Chinese people cannot do it. What foreigners can do in China may not be able to do it. Manchu Iron and Manchu Iron and Manchu Iron are backed by Japan, and what do you have as your back?

“It’s because in China!”

Nodding his head, Li Zicheng's body leaned forward slightly, and at this time Mu Xiangyue even realized that his breathing seemed a little rapid.

"It is precisely because we are Chinese that we have to build a China Manchuria Railway! A large company with comprehensive operation centered on railways! A large company that uses railways to cross China and drives the development of China!"

Almost with a light roar, Li Zicheng took several deep breaths to suppress his inner excitement. Why did he have this idea before? It was just because Yuan Shikai needed money and he needed money, so he needed to take out the things for exchange. That is, this idea would make him have the idea of ​​"China Manchuria Railway". For anyone, this is a huge temptation.

As long as Yuan Shikai needs his own money, it is not impossible to use the loan to exchange for railway rights and larger affiliated areas, so it is possible to build the "Manchurian Railway of China".

Moreover, this is also conducive to his future development. Four years later, the death of Yuan Shikai, a powerful figure, will directly lead to China's fall into a warlord melee. In that period when local forces are popular and central power is in decline, such a company with railways as blood and affiliated areas can not only protect its enterprises from warlords' extortion with its strength in economy and influence, but also use the various privileges enjoyed by affiliated areas to promote the development of industrial economy along the route.

Even in the future, your own company will become a force that will influence China's political situation. No matter what force appears, it will not be able to leave its support. Railways and affiliated areas not only connect this country, but also divide this country.

And more importantly, this is very feasible!

Warlords fight, local autonomy, and central power decline, these are all guarantees for establishing such a company. Sometimes, only in this chaos can a Chinese person establish such a company. If the central power is stable, the iron barrel will not leave enough gaps for such a company to survive. In the future, China will be in a unified and small division, such a situation will allow itself to get along with local warlords and central governments. Now Yuan Shikai has his own desires, and the split state of warlord separatism has created gaps between the central and local forces. Without a unified and centralized government, he can use the gaps between various forces, first use railways to seize autonomy, and then form a free city centered on stations, and freely develop a market-oriented industrial and commercial economy.

Is there a more suitable opportunity than now? The relatively stable but undercurrent situation in recent years makes it impossible for Yuan Shikai or anyone else to focus on themselves. When they focus on themselves, who can shake themselves who have grown up at that time?

(Okay, in fact, I have fully learned from the Nantong Autonomy in history. Nantong Autonomy has almost formed the Nantong Kingdom in twenty years from the late Qing Dynasty to the early 20s. Here, Wuyu is just a step further than Nantong, and takes a step even bigger. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done. Haha, it is not impossible to establish the Manchuria Railway in China. Of course, everything has to be done step by step. At the beginning, it must be within what others can tolerate. In short, try to be reasonable! ps: Update again today! The new book is not easy! Please recommend it, please collect it! Thank you!)
