Whereas, the USA company not only delayed project, but also breached of faith to sell stock to Belgium which taked Russia and France as prop. The official and public of China, especially the public of such provinces as Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong, were filled with indignation because the policy of"constructing high iron on schedule"and"playing both ends against the middle"failed. They supported Qing government to redeem the right of the high iron spontaneously. After the right were redeemed, Qing government had to submit to popular will to allow societal forces to undertake the great project, because government cannot complete it independently. But the societal forces cannot accomplish the project on schedule because they were also cornered for the deficiency of fund,technology, experience and stuff. After comparing various advantages and disadvantages, Qing government designed policy to nationalize the high iron and borrowed foreign loans to carry out it. But the government failed to accomplish the mission because of deficit and loss of prestige. The public, especially the gentries and merchants, raised protest in large scale , which accelerated dynastic change.The second chapter discuss nationalization course of Guangzhouo-Hankou railroad. After inspected the history and current situation of the main stems,central government of Republic of China designed the policy of State-owned.

The third and fourth chapter discuss central government hosted the main stem project. In 1930s, central government make great efforts to build and repair every main stems. For accomplishing the engineering of Guangzhouo-Wuhan railroad as soon as possible, central government negotiate with United Kingdom again and again.China gained huge fund and Sufficient material by the negotiation.By mediate in many ways, Guangdong and Guangxi authority allow the construction of the main stems. In order to develop vigorously peoples' livelihood, ministry of railways purchases domestic industry and agriculture products such as wood , grain , stones and lacquer material in many ways.
