The journey starts from the Titanic

Everyone smiled knowingly, and looked at Situ Nan's expression a little bit more expectantly. With Situ Nan here, what is the iron ore?

Situ Nan was also not hypocritical, and stopped talking about the Dutch, pointing to Huang Zhonghan with a smile: "Uncle Huang, is the iron ore in your hands?"

"My hand?" Huang Zhonghan was a little puzzled, and some didn't understand why Situ Nan pushed the problem to himself.

"Jinshan Mining Company, Western Australia Iron Mine." Situ Nan reminded.

"Oh? I remembered it, and I'm almost fainted, how could I forget this one?"

Huang Zhonghan patted his forehead, thinking of the Jinshan Mining Company, which he established in Western Australia in cooperation with Meihua Company, which organized Chinese emigration to Western Australia and also secretly seized the large iron ore in Western Australia.

After more than three years of construction, and with the hard work of tens of thousands of railway workers, Jinshan Mining Company has completed the railway from Pilbara Iron Mine to Western Australia Port Perth, which means that a steady stream of high-quality iron ore can satisfy Nanhua builds a steel industry.

Hearing Huang Zhonghan's introduction, everyone immediately raised their eyebrows. They looked at Situ Nan's eyes secretly admiring, and once again saw Situ Nan's precautions.

"If you don't say I'm coming soon, we still have a lot of iron ore in Australia!" Yao Hongmin chuckled. Like Huang Zhonghan, the situation has changed so quickly recently and there are too many things to worry about, almost forgotten. The existence of Jinshan Mining Company.

In addition to Jinshan Mining Company, the American Guben Energy Company, which is secretly controlled by Situ Nan, also has a share of the Pilbara Iron Mine in Western Australia. Both of these mining giants can provide inexhaustible inexhaustibility for the industrialization of South China. Exhausted iron ore.

"It's really great. There are not many South China, but there are many good ports, and it is close to Australia. We can develop the steel industry in major port cities."

Situ Meideng helped his beard and smiled.

After discussion, the South China government chose Jakarta, Surabaya, Palembang, and Medan as the future steel industry bases, relying on these four major steel industry bases, while developing machinery manufacturing, automobiles, shipbuilding and other industries.

"To establish an industrial system is a huge project. Although we have identified some major projects, it is related to the future development of Nanhua. I think there should be a huge plan to concentrate all energy on the development of those major and urgent projects. The government should actively guide and cooperate closely with Meihua Company. For example, in several stages, formulate a three-year or five-year plan and realize it step by step."

At the South China Development Strategy Conference, Situ Nan solemnly suggested.He is the uncrowned king, and his words basically represent the will of South China.

Yao Hongmin and the others nodded their heads after hearing their eyes, feeling that Situ Nan's words made sense.

In fact, these upstarts who have just risen from the grassroots to the upper echelons of the country have no idea how to develop the national psychology. Situ Nan's words are undoubtedly a beacon to illuminate the direction of South China.

"This is a good way. You should have a plan for everything. Otherwise, when you are halfway through, you will suddenly be affected by other things and go in the wrong direction. Anan, you have to tell us well, or we don't have a bottom!"

Situ Meideng looked at Situ Nan sincerely, feeling a little regretful, if his position was given to Situ Nan to do it, at least he knew what to do.

"Of course!" Situ Nan nodded proudly, even if Situ Meideng didn't say anything, he was still going to brainwash this group of people and popularize science.

"In fact, there is a very good example before us, that is, the Meiji Restoration in Japan. As we all know, the Westernization Movement was also involved in the Qing Dynasty. It looks very similar to the Meiji Restoration in Japan, but it failed in the end. I think the most important thing is. The point is the human mind.

The thinking of the Japanese has changed. Although their model of Europe is somewhat nondescript, their thinking has changed, while the Qing court is still the old Yamen style, and the set of monarchs and ministers in their minds has not changed."

When Situ Nan said this, his eyes became serious.

What made him gratified was that the core figures in South China had overseas backgrounds, were open-minded, and had a deep understanding of Western machine production. People from Meihua companies such as Yao Hongmin and Jiang Hua were highly educated. They are big capitalists who are familiar with the development of industry.

In addition to being inferior to Situ Nan in the macroscopic view, he has already surpassed Situ Nan in specific aspects.So as long as Situ Nan wakes them up at key points, they will know what to do.

"Human thinking is the most important thing. In my opinion, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan was just not much better than us. However, after 20 or 30 years, the new generation of Japanese talents who have grown up are the most terrifying. .

They have trained a large number of industrial workers and have their own skills. Apart from the lack of resources, there is almost nothing that can prevent the rapid development of this country.In other respects, they are currently ahead of South China. We have to admit, and we must catch up, and it will take two decades to approach or even surpass them."

Thinking of Japan, Situ Nan felt a lot of pressure in his heart. No one knew the country's potential better than him.Situ Nan had no idea whether South China could catch up with Japan before World War II.

"Should we send missions to other countries?" He Wenxiu interrupted. "The Ministry of National Defense has already contacted the German side and is preparing to send 500 officers to study in Germany."

"It is necessary. Not only Germany, but also the United States, Britain and France. The German army is recognized as the best, but in the future, South China will rely more on the sea, so the construction of the navy cannot be ignored."

Situ Nan nodded, then continued: "The future of South China's diplomacy will mainly focus on two directions, the United States and Germany, and then the United Kingdom.

Virtue can provide capital and technology for Nanhua's industrialization, and Nanhua's agricultural products can also find a market in Virtue, especially in Germany. They are now down and out of poverty and will be very willing to cooperate with us.

As for the British, don't mess with them for now!If they have a good attitude, we should also be enthusiastic."

At this point, everyone knows how to smile.

The appearance of Nanhua is actually a shame to the British.Now is the time when the British are most powerful, and the thin Nanhua naturally dare not provoke the British.Of course, the British did not look down upon the poor boy Nanhua for a while, as long as Nanhua did not offend them excessively, the British would not do anything against Nanhua.

After all, the British have too many enemies. On the European continent, they were challenged by France; around the world, they were challenged by the United States; in the Far East, the Japanese were aggressive and forced British capital from North China back to the south of the Yangtze River; In the Middle East, the independent revolutions of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and other countries are also impacting the traditional interests of Britain; in colonies around the world, the Russians are exporting revolutions, fanning the flames everywhere, and disturbing the British.

"Britain must be perfunctory, and the Dutch must comfort. Although the Dutch are unwilling to develop industries in the Indonesian archipelago, with the development of South China's industry, Dutch businessmen are also willing to invest in South China.

In addition, their territory, Irian Jaya, is also rich in oil, coal, iron and other resources. If possible, we will invest there when we have money.

In short, my opinion is that, except for the Japanese, South China should not refuse anyone to invest in South China, especially in certain industries that we cannot invest in for a while, and need foreign capital and technology to promote economic development.

Nanhua will be a highly open society in the future. The more investment, the more beneficial to our development, even if it is worth giving up part of the benefits."

Situ Nan suddenly thought about a kind of person—Jews, thinking about when to look for Jews, and it would be good to attract investment from them, otherwise it would be too laborious to rely solely on the William Consortium for blood transfusion.

"So, how do you say, we all have to go to a foreign country to go shopping?" Situ Meideng said witty.

"Yeah. Even if you're going to go around in a round, you don't want to see how to know how to go in the future? Everyone here is a sensible person who knows what path to take, but the following People don't know?

They wrinkled in a high position and were very tender. There are some things, no matter how well we speak, they are not mentally prepared, but in the end they still get twice the result with half the effort, maybe they have misinterpreted the intentions of the upper class?"

Situ Nan really didn’t have much confidence in the new officials under the South China government. Many of them came out of night schools or literacy classes. There was no lack of systematic education. If they were not corrected ideologically at the beginning, it would be estimated in a few years. They are about to become sleek old bureaucrats. This is the most terrible thing.

Chapter 126 Situ Nan-Chief Designer of South China

The discussion about the future development path of Nanhua continues, and the protagonist is still Situ Nan.

Maybe I should give myself a title of "South China Chief Designer"!

Situ Nan thought to himself.

He looked around and saw that everyone was listening to his plans for Nanhua, and he was a little proud.

Well, I feel more and more involved.But in order for Nan Hua to avoid detours, Situ Nan had to put more effort into it.

"It is imperative to strengthen foreign exchanges and introduce western capital and technology. A global survey is indispensable. Another major issue is..."

Situ Nan paused, raised his fingers, and slowly spit out two words: "Traffic!"

"Without perfect transportation, everything is impossible to talk about. I heard that during the previous war, limited by transportation, the army was almost in short supply?"

Situ Nan asked.

"Yes. We have secretly buried a batch of supplies in some places. We don't need to rely on Medan for all the supplies, otherwise the war will not go so smoothly."

He Wenxiu nodded and said with emotion, "When we landed in Java, we did not have enough ships, so we had to requisition a batch of small sailboats to grab supplies. Fortunately, the Sunda Strait is not wide enough, otherwise there is not enough ammunition. France will strike Jakarta before the Dutch reinforcements!"

"You are ashamed to say that your prodigal gang has broken the Governor's Mansion, otherwise we can live better now." Yao Hongmin looked at He Wenxiu sadly, and said: Now the engineering team is cleaning Jakarta day and night. The ruins!It will take at least until next month to clear the streets of the original Government House.

"The old ones don’t go, the new ones don’t come, or it’s broken! It happens that we are building a new city!" Situ Nan smiled and said to Situ Mei, "Uncle, didn’t you say you want to change the name of Jakarta last time? Let me see, how about Jakarta's name change to New Tangshan?"

"New Tangshan?" Everyone lit up and looked at Situ Nan with some joy.
