Text Chapter 669 The Founding of Saudi Arabia (1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With the heavy water sample presented by Li Fuji, Yang Qiu did not return to Beijing immediately. Instead, he returned to Chongqing and held a national science and technology mobilization meeting with Qiu Heng, the general manager of the 3010 plan, and personally met with tens of thousands of technicians and scientists gathered in Bashu.  Arrange them to go to various experimental centers and factories and race against time to seize all the time.

    You must know that this 3010 plan is completely different from previous technological plans such as Rhineland and battleships. Many high-secret projects including nuclear energy and computers have completely abandoned foreign experts. In Yang Qiu¡¯s words at the conference, this is the foundation of the Republic of China.  For the first time since then, we are truly "self-reliant". Whether we can get rid of the crutches of foreign technology will depend on this!

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to borrow advanced foreign technology, but that some projects really cannot be exposed.  But doing so is also very risky. After all, science and technology are not weapons and equipment.  As long as the data machine ensures that manufacturing capabilities, materials, metallurgy and other conditions are met, world-leading equipment can be created, and even design costs can be saved.  But scientific and technological breakthroughs require years of accumulation, and when the breakthrough will occur is highly contingent. Maybe nuclear bombs will be flying all over the sky in five years, or maybe the Manhattan explosion in the United States will not make it through.

    This may happen because Project 3010 is actually more difficult than the two bombs and one satellite of the Republic in the parallel world. Many technologies are currently completely blank, such as the newly acquired heavy water, nuclear fission equations, etc.  Even if heavy water has been successfully discovered, there is still a long way to go from discovery to laboratory refining to industrialization.  But in any case, as the largest scientific plan in the world, the 3010 Plan can be said to have brought together all the technical forces that the country can produce, including national-level nuclear energy, agriculture, computers, aerospace, and national talent and financial guarantees.  Electronics, metallurgy, engines, stress and other fields where private enterprises participate.

    More importantly, the 3010 plan seems to be just a technological breakthrough, but its potential commercial value is huge.  For example, the Shanghai Global Electronics Company invested by Lu Bicheng is responsible for metal tube technology.  This technology was discovered by Yang Qiu from the Soviet MiG-25 fighter radar drawings in the data machine. It is well known that the Soviet Union did not believe in transistors.  So it specializes in electronic tubes, and the MiG-25 radar uses this kind of metal tube. Its heat dissipation efficiency and stability are much higher than the current electronic tubes, and it is not ridiculously high technically.

    Once completed, this new type of metal electron tube is bound to have a strong impact on the world's electron tube technology. According to technicians' calculations, if successful, it will generate commercial income of tens of millions of dollars.  As for Lenovo's transistor technology, it is the cornerstone of future electronic technology.  The profits are likely to be in the billions of dollars!  Therefore, the 3010 Plan is also an important supplementary plan to promote economic development.

    ¡°At the same time as the 3010 plan began, another major plan related to the country¡¯s future energy and strategy finally unveiled.

    In 1931, the Western New Year gradually arrived amid depression. However, the deep economic crisis and turmoil caused countries around the world to give up celebrations.  The U.S. economy is finally improving, but the sounds of bankruptcies and closures still sound from time to time.  In the harsh European winter, countless people wrapped in torn cotton-padded jackets stood guard at the door of the relief shelter.  Only the Soviet Union took advantage of the economic crisis and the opportunity of various countries to cash out, and ushered in the best period after the founding of the People's Republic of China.  Stalin's aggressive pursuit of industrialization remains vigorous.

    In Asia, Japan encountered the worst snowstorm in history. Economic decline and severe cold made millions of people homeless. Therefore, the Japanese government had to resort to immigration tactics again and increase the number of immigrants to New Guinea, but the lease period has expired.  The noose in 1940 made Japan's top leaders worry all the time that Britain and Australia would take back New Guinea, and the atmosphere of anxiety became even more intense.

    Northern China is also experiencing snow and wind, and natural disasters that began in the early 1930s continue to wreak havoc.  But under the disaster, hopes and dreams become hotter and hotter.  After Yang Qiu's visit, a large number of American technicians and engineers traveled across the ocean to the Far East. Their presence began to appear in factories, laboratories, universities, power stations, water conservancy and other projects.  Even well-known old industrial groups have taken the opportunity to recruit personnel, eliminate a large number of low-value projects, and upgrade machinery and equipment.

    After entering the 1930s, the pace of the world slowed down a lot due to crises. This also gave China and the Soviet Union a good opportunity to catch up. Taking this opportunity, all countries began to make efforts to adjust.

    However, at this moment, there was thunderous cheers in one place.  The streets of Riyadh became a sea of ??joy.  Masmak Castle is full of laughter.  At this moment everyone knows that a new country is about to enter the world family.

    Even though an agreement had long been reached to recognize the Saudi family¡¯s right to rule Najd and Hijaz.  The UK is still a little surprised by the speed of Saudi Arabia's founding of the country.  Of course, Downing Street did not want to see Saudi Arabia become independent, but as Iraq and Persia got rid of their colonial status, the establishment of a Saudi state could no longer be contained, so they simply turned a blind eye and sent Roger John, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, to attend the ceremony.

      Seeing the smiling faces of Ibn Saud and his family members, the representatives and guests from various countries who received the invitations were all surprised. What was the trump card that allowed the Ibn Saud family to dare to set aside the influence of Britain and France and establish an independent country?  You must know that Iraq was able to establish a country because Britain was behind it, and Britain deliberately split Turkey after the European war. Persia became independent because Britain did not want the Soviet Union to go south, and did not want to take action on its own, so it used Persia as a buffer. So those who stand behind Saudi Arabia  Who is it?

    Roger John knew that this country was definitely not Britain and France. As an outstanding naval officer who had participated in the European War, he did not want the former colonies to become independent one by one.

    Is it an American?

    Seeing the smiling US Secretary of State Stimson who came to attend the ceremony, Roger Johnson subconsciously walked towards him: "Mr. Secretary of State."

    "John, it's nice to meet you. You look good. It seems that the Mediterranean Fleet is a comfortable job." Stimson had contacts with many foreign generals when he was the U.S. Secretary of War. He also knew Roger John, so he was very enthusiastic after meeting.  He immediately grabbed him and started chatting.

    But Roger John was absent-minded, because he thought there could be no other country besides the United States, so he glanced around and asked, "Is this President Hoover's suggestion?"

    Stimson was amused when he heard that there was something in his words and wanted to find out who was supporting the Saudi family to establish an independent country.  Originally, the United States and Yang Qiu had a secret agreement and would not solve the mystery too early, but tomorrow is the date when the Saudi family officially announces the founding of the country, so there is nothing to hide, so they simply made it clear: "John, haven't you noticed that there are others?  Not there?"

    Roger John is a typical soldier and does not like intrigue politics, but after all, he is the commander of the British Empire in the Mediterranean, so he still has at least some political sensitivity.  Looking around, he found that the Chinese delegation had not arrived yet, and his face suddenly sank: "Are they Chinese?"

    Stimson is not surprised that Yang Qiu supports the independence of Saudi Arabia. The oil here is what China needs most, and Yang Qiu has always hoped to open up the Persian Gulf channel. Otherwise, he would not have sent troops to Afghanistan after the British suggestion.  Especially when he failed in the end, he urgently needed to ensure the safety of the oil channel.  Said: "What does it matter who it is? The national independence movement has spread to the world. Unless someone is willing to continue endless wars, there is no way to stop this trend."

    "Then why doesn't your country let Luzon become independent?" Roger John was very unhappy and retorted.

    Stimson laughed: "John, your news is out of date. The Senate is discussing the independence of the Philippines, and neither President Hoover nor the Democratic Party want to continue to be involved in possible conflicts."

    "You want the Philippines to be independent?!" Roger John's eyes widened. He never expected to ask such a big news!  As a navy man, he knew the importance of Luzon very well. Such a strategic location that Britain had wanted to take for a long time but could not get, the United States actually chose to give up on its own initiative?  !

    "It's already being discussed, maybe next year, maybe in a few years. But the American people can't wait to get rid of those non-essential overseas interests, and you know, they have the upper hand now."

    Roger John knew who Stimson was talking about. The failure to achieve anything at the Paris Peace Conference completely angered the United States, leading to the prevalence of isolationism after the war. Even the most ordinary Americans no longer wanted to see another situation in which they were fighting.  What's more, the United States is still facing so much economic pressure, and it is even less likely to interfere in external affairs.  He had nothing to say about this situation, because it was the aggressive British government at the Paris Peace Conference that made the United States return to the mainland and refused to intervene. It was also because of this mistake that the conflict between Britain and the United States deepened and the United States accelerated its move toward China.

    "But" Before Roger John could finish his words, Stimson stopped him and pointed to the door: "The Chinese are coming."

    With the reminder, Gu Weijun, Song Ziqing, Bei Zuyi and Ma Kui entered the banquet hall.  A foreign minister, a defense minister, a central bank governor and a world oil tycoon can attract enough attention wherever they go.  In particular, Yang Qiu's crazy money-spending activities in Europe and the United States had already attracted a lot of attention, so when the four people appeared, it immediately caused a small commotion and the flashlights kept lighting up.

    Seeing the four of them, Ibn Saud personally stepped forward to greet them. This move made Roger John's face even darker.  But Stimson looked at him and slowly raised the corner of his mouth: "What would the British look like if they knew that China would sign a huge loan agreement and an oil agreement with Saudi Arabia later? Start a war? Haha This has nothing to do with the United States.  relation."

    When Sting was having bad thoughts, Song Ziqing had already bowed to Ibn Saud and said: "Dear Your Majesty the King, on behalf of our president and government, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you. I hope that the friendship between our two countries will last forever and we will have good relations from generation to generation."

    After finishing speaking, he took out a thick book in front of everyone.??Document: "This is a League of Nations bill drafted by our president. He asked me to assure you that we will do our best to urge governments to recognize the independent status of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This draft will also be formally submitted to the League of Nations for review by our special envoy tomorrow.  "
