Chapter 240 The Chief and the Head of State (fourth update, please subscribe)
Facts have proved that the Chinese people are still very receptive. Although the officials had many concerns when launching the "Dragon Banknote", the launch After that, the acceptance by both individuals and the market was very high, not only because of the company's good reputation, but the most important reason... Chinese people are already used to it, accustomed to currency changes, such as North China's joint currency coupons, Wang Counterfeit China Reserve Banknotes, even county banks can issue banknotes.
For things that you have become accustomed to, you will naturally accept them very quickly, and there is no resistance. Moreover, "Dragon Banknotes" can indeed be exchanged for U.S. dollars at a ratio of 1:1 in banks, and can even be exchanged for gold. The gold content It is equal to the US dollar, and gradually everyone has no worries.
The market’s acceptance of a new currency always requires a certain amount of time. Before it is fully accepted, the U.S. dollar will definitely continue to circulate in Borneo for a while, but in any case, from the day the Dragon Banknote is introduced to the market Since then, Borneo has truly become a country. After all, the basic characteristic of a regime is currency issuance.
Although Borneo is still far away from the country, many things are always moving forward step by step.
From the issuance of currency to the construction of industrial parks, Li Yian has to deal with tedious affairs every day.
“The road must be repaired!”
On the way back to Sandakan from the industrial park, Li Nian couldn’t help but say while “enjoying” the bumps on the road.
“In order to develop the automobile manufacturing industry in Borneo, the roads must be repaired.”
Not only because of the automobile manufacturing industry, but more importantly...for the convenience of myself, I sit down every day It's really uncomfortable for a car to run on such a simple asphalt gravel road, especially since the shock absorption effect of cars in this era is very average.
Almost as soon as he returned to the Governor's Office, Li Nian asked for the planning and construction of a road network in Borneo. The Nazis were definitely experts in building roads. After all, the highway in Germany was also called the "Führer's Road." The reason why Hitler wanted to Highways are highly praised, not only because they can reduce the unemployment rate through the construction of highways, but also to flaunt their great achievements. At the same time, this method of integrating the military with the people was also used to quietly complete a wartime rapid transportation network.
Sandezi road construction... is so professional!
Building a highway is not only for your own convenience, but also for the future of Borneo. From a development perspective, Borneo really needs a highway connecting Sandakan and Kuching along the western coast. Expressway, even a ring-island expressway is needed.
On this day, Li Yi'an spent almost the whole night talking with the engineers about Borneo's transportation planning, from highways to high-speed railways.
“…Highways bring not only transportation convenience, but also changes in lifestyle. In the future, we will also design a national car so that all people can buy it. Affordable, easy to maintain, able to take the family down the highway, it’s a way of life..."
Under the influence of the air conditioner, the temperature in the room was very comfortable, and the sofa was also very comfortable. While talking about the future of Borneo, Li Yi'an had endless ideas. He leaned on the sofa and talked about his ideas.
For some reason, when Chief Li was leaning on the sofa and hiding his upper body in the shadows, Fritz, as an engineer, suddenly had some kind of illusion.
It seemed that at this moment, he was back in Berlin, before the war. Before the war, he had visited the Prime Minister's Office many times to discuss the construction of highways and other projects with the head of state. The head of state at that time was They are full of energy and have all kinds of plans and imaginations for the future like them. From this point of view, they are very similar.
For a moment, Fritz even had some kind of illusion in his heart, as if the Führer was resurrected. At least for a moment, just when he was shocked that he had this idea, this Li The commander's words reached his ears again.
“…Also, there is the high-speed railway. The speed of this high-speed railway should be more than 200 kilometers, which can shorten the journey from Sandakan to Kuching to four hours…”
In the following time, Li Yian discussed high-speed railway with them. Although Germany had conducted research on high-speed railway before the war and achieved certain results, Hitler's interest had always been in the wide-gauge super railway. , In contrast, the power-dispersed power train set based on the standard track proposed by Li Yian is obviously more operable. It is not more operational, but it has been verified by later generations and proven to be effective. "As for the carriages of high-speed trains, aluminum alloy can be used. Its weight is only one-third of steel and its strength is no worse than steel. After reducing the weight of the car, the speed will naturally increase."
< br>"Use aluminum alloy? Chief Li, I'm afraid the strength of aluminum alloy cannot meet the needs of high-speed train carriages. At present, there seems to be no aluminum alloy with a strength close to that of steel."
Fritz's question made Li Yian He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that indeed, Germany does not yet have ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys, and there are only two countries in the world that have ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys.
“It is true that Germany does not have it, but other countries do. For example, the strength of the 7075 aluminum alloy used in the United States to manufacture the B29 bomber is close to that of steel, which can fully meet the needs of high-speed train carriages.”
"Oh, that's it. In this case, the company needs to consider introducing patents in this area from the United States in the future."
Fritz didn't know much about aviation metals, so when he subconsciously mentioned introducing patents , Li Yian waved his hand and said.
"There is no need at all. After Japan surrenders next year, we can directly go to Japan as an occupying force to get this technology. 7075 aluminum alloy was first secretly developed by Japan's Sumitomo Metal Corporation. Because their "Zero" fighter jets used this aluminum alloy, they were able to significantly reduce weight and improve performance. Speaking of which, the United States cracked the secret of super-hard aluminum alloys through the captured Zero fighters, and then Only then did we solve the overweight problem that plagued the B29 bomber..."
What is retribution?
This is retribution. When Japan relied on the zero war using super hard aluminum alloy to run rampant on the battlefield, they would never have thought that the 7075 aluminum alloy developed based on it would be the solution to the B29 The key to bombers is that with 7075 aluminum alloy, we have the B29 bomber, and with the B29 bomber, we have acquaintances all over Japan!
"Let's wait until next year. By then, we will directly give Sumitomo's technology...well, bring it over!"
When it comes to getting super-hard aluminum alloy and other technologies from Sumitomo Corporation, Li Yi'an naturally thought of it. In addition to Japan's other technologies, even though Japan was not a second-rate country during World War II, many of its technologies still have their own unique features. In addition to the well-known ESD super-hard aluminum alloy, Japan's textile technology ranks first in the world. Within the scope, it is also quite advanced, and all these equipment and technologies can be introduced.
It was said to be introduced, but that was to take care of Fritz’s feelings.
What kind of introduction is there? It is moved directly!
When we get to Japan, the polite manners in Germany will be different. As a genuine occupation force, we must implement one word - move!
Just like the Russians in the German-occupied areas, even the wires on the roadside were swept away and moved home. The large-scale factory demolition in the occupied areas lasted for three years. In the steel and chemical industries, East Germany Almost all industrial equipment was lost, and almost all factories were evacuated, leaving only empty shells. If they could be moved, even the houses would probably be taken away. Not to mention the Soviet-occupied area, even in the Western-occupied area, they also took away a quarter of the machinery and equipment on the grounds of war reparations.
Advanced experience must be learned. After conquering Japan, we must learn from Big Brother and strive to leave only a shell for Japan...
