Facts have proved that money... really can do anything!
If there is something that cannot be done with money, there is often only one reason: the money is not spent enough or not enough.
As long as the money is spent properly, as long as you spend enough money.
It is almost omnipotent.
In less than a month, with the help of many officials from the Kenyan colony, the largest land sale in Kenyan history was finally completed.
Of course, this land sale is "based on promoting the development of Kenya, improving the local construction level, and for the well-being of the local people."
Well, of course the proceeds from the land sale are taken. For the people, use it for the people!
After the land was sold, the colonial authorities not only received a large amount of funds for local construction, but with the development of agriculture, companies would also employ a large number of indigenous people, which would benefit tens of thousands of indigenous residents. Benefit and even enter modern civilized society.
For this reason, Governor Mitchell was still sighing for his foresight at the meeting, and all the officials naturally made peace. Of course, reporters also used "Kenya has opened a new chapter in history" to describe this "the largest investment in Kenya's history."
To all accounts, the investment was more than just an investment. He is also Kenya's great progress towards a civilized society.
Of course, this kind of progress is definitely a commercial boast. It is just to prove how correct this matter is and how the decision was made from the standpoint of the local indigenous people.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, no one cared about the indigenous people at all. What everyone saw was only the interests and facts... This is the most real side.
"A total of 24,000 square miles, which is more than 60,000 square kilometers..."
Standing in the vast wasteland, Han Yaozong said with some pride.
"It's ours now."
He said, pointing into the distance.
“Next, our engineers will re-plan this land. We will build a new irrigation system here and reclaim all this land into cultivated land. It will only take a few years. This place will become a vast farm as far as the eye can see..."
This is exactly why he came to this land. It is to establish large farms here to grow various crops including corn.
While talking, Han Yaozong saw several naked indigenous people passing by in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's such a good place that so much land is abandoned here. It's really a waste!"
A month ago, when he came to Kenya for the first time, Han Yaozong had this thought in his heart idea.
Indeed, for anyone who knows the land, how could he not feel heartbroken when he sees such a vast land being abandoned like this?
You must know that when they were in Tangshan, Han Yaozong's family only had about ten acres of land. The family worked very hard and could barely eat enough. Even their three brothers only had enough to eat. It can support him to study alone.
With such a large area of land in my hometown, how can we not have enough to eat?
And the big guys will never let such a large piece of land go to waste.
Thinking of his hometown in Tangshan, Han Yaozong couldn't help but muttered.
“This land is really ruined in the hands of these people!”
This is definitely a consensus, after all, they have witnessed the waste of the land with their own eyes.
“Yes!”
Zhang Shengli said on the side.
"Fortunately, this land belongs to us now. In the future, these lands will never be as abandoned as they are now..."
He was smoking a cigarette while talking, and even I couldn't help but bend down and grab a handful of soil, and then said quite emotionally.
“To be honest, before I came to Africa, I really didn’t know how vast Africa was, let alone how fertile the land here was. It’s really hard to imagine how lazy people are. That’s why so much land has been left abandoned here.”
“Yes!”
Han Yaozong said.
"Never again, from now on, this will be our granary in Nanyang!" Granary!
This is exactly the purpose of his coming here, which is to turn this land into the granary of Nanyang, so that Nanyang can control its own food security.
"Granary..."
Zhang Shengli nodded and said.
“Chief Han, going to this land is not just land for Nanyang, but also related to the food rations of millions of people in Nanyang. From now on, it all depends on you!”
After that, looking at the vast land in front of him, Zhang Shengli said in an extremely serious tone.
“Now that we have obtained this land, we must not only develop it, but also protect it!”
Looking at Zhang Shengli’s serious look, Han Yaozong said.
"Don't worry, we will definitely defend this place. If someone wants to take it away, they will definitely have to ask about the atomic bomb in our hands first!",
For the Nanyang people in 1952 , as the third country in the world to possess atomic bombs, the atomic bomb is not only the confidence of Nanyang people, but also a kind of pride. It is not that they really know how to use atomic bombs, but because of pride, because Nanyang is the most powerful country in the world. After the United States and the Soviet Union, it was the third country to possess atomic bombs.
For a nation that has suffered too much humiliation in modern times, the significance of atomic weapons to the Tang people is incomprehensible to outsiders. The atomic bomb also became a manifestation of Nanyang's power.
But for politicians, if they need to show force, they will either think of strategic bombers shaking their wings - Nanyang uses Lancaster bombers shaking their wings, or the silver-white ones, then It is to resist the ablation of light radiation caused by nuclear explosions and to protect the electronic equipment inside the machine, so the fuselage is painted silver white.
This is an expression of deterrence, but it is limited by the range of the bomber and the area where the deterrent object is located. There is another means of deterrence, and that is the aircraft carrier.
This way of handling originated from the post-war period. When dealing with regional threats or crises after the war, the US president always asked habitually.
“Where is our aircraft carrier?”
In fact, compared to strategic bombers shaking their wings, the use of aircraft carriers is more flexible and can threaten almost any country on Blue Star.
And for any country that relies on trade, aircraft carriers are an inevitable choice.
There is an aircraft carrier in Nanyang - the "Katsugi" aircraft carrier. This carrier was brought to Nanyang by Li Yi'an from Japan in the name of "scrap iron". Its displacement is only less than 20,000 tons, but It is still the main force of the Nanyang Navy, but it has been undergoing transformation in the shipyard in the past two years.
From the installation of a beveled deck to the reconstruction of the hangar, there is also an extremely important improvement - the installation of a steam catapult. The steam catapult was independently developed by Nanyang's technicians. It draws on the structure of the V1 missile catapult. History It took two years to successfully develop it.
Unlike the V1 missile, which uses a chemical reaction of mixed hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate to generate steam, the aircraft carrier uses a hot water boiler, which generates a large amount of high-pressure steam, and converts this high-pressure steam It is stored in a large cylinder, and when needed, the piston is opened and allowed to push the power unit. From a technical perspective, it is not much different from the V1 ejector.
However, the structure of the steam catapult used to catapult aircraft was more complex, so it took two years to successfully develop it under the leadership of Metz, the engineer who invented the V1 catapult.
Six months ago, the construction of the first physical catapult began at the naval test base. Finally at the beginning of the year, the world's first steam catapult was installed in the aircraft carrier's onshore test system.
“...Because when the catapult is used on the ship, fresh water mainly comes from the distillation of sea water. For this reason, we also specially dug a pipeline to the sea to introduce sea water into the distillation boiler attached to the steam catapult. ”
In front of the naval commander Zou Tongjie who came to visit, Metz introduced the working principle of the catapult one by one.
Looking at the test booster trailer in front of the catapult, Zou Tongjie asked.
“How heavy an aircraft can we eject currently?”
“According to many tests, we can currently eject 7 to 10 tons of weight. It can eject 250 tons in a few seconds. It can eject about 10 tons of fighter jets at a speed of 280 kilometers per hour. If the take-off and landing speed is reduced, it can even eject 15 tons of weight! "
Metz specifically added.
"The maximum take-off weight of the F1 naval fighter with enhanced landing gear is 8,135 kilograms, so it can be ejected and reach take-off speed."
Listening to Metz's introduction, Zou Tongjie asked.
“Have the corresponding tests been conducted? What are the results?”
