The military port is very hidden. The shipyard dozens of kilometers away is still under vigorous construction. The port is heavily guarded. Dozens of coastal defense cannons are hiddenly displayed. Several renovated warships are neatly lined up in the port. Many temporarily formed naval soldiers are Become familiar with the ship.
“It’s still early to form combat effectiveness.”
“Chief, this sea area is relatively calm now, and the navies of neighboring countries are also very weak. They don’t even have a decent ship. Such a big guy can scare the opponent without even firing a gun."
Li Xiaojun seemed very proud. Indeed, it was difficult to see even a five-hundred-ton ship nearby, and the largest one here surpassed it. With a displacement of five thousand tons, it can really scare people to death.
“Are these ships able to operate now?”
“They can already operate normally, but they still need to be proficient in driving and are still familiar with the equipment and equipment.”
>"Well, seize the time to practice, and strive to be able to sail far next year and form combat effectiveness. Don't ask, I need it. The mission is kept secret for the time being."
Li Xiaojun only mustered up the courage to ask, but was silenced by the chief's words of confidentiality. Coming back aroused his curiosity even more. It wouldn't be the same as the last special mission. He was so excited that he had to go to the ship to wait for him no matter what.
In a hidden cave on the seaside, I saw a ship being built according to Zhu Xuefeng’s drawings. This was built using natural caves and costing countless manpower and material resources. It is the largest secret project in the autonomous region. It can be seen that the organizational capabilities of the autonomous region have reached a higher level.
Actually, Zhu Xuefeng’s requirements are not high. There are only three requirements: one is to be large enough, the other is to connect to the sea and introduce seawater, and the third is to be concealed and strong. So far, it seems that all of them have met the requirements, and the construction of the ship is progressing smoothly. .
"Chief, what is the use of this thing? Except for the cockpit, the ship is all flat deck."
Song Yan couldn't help but say, saying that he was going to build an aircraft carrier. It was obviously too small. There is no boat-borne aircraft, and the ship's cabin is even simpler. It is full of small compartments separated by wood, pieced together one by one. According to the drawings, the ship is not strong enough to be equipped with cannons, so it can only install a few anti-aircraft guns and some machine guns. Compared with small ships, this firepower is too weak, not to mention that the structure inside uses a lot of wood. It will probably be finished after one shot. It is completely like a large wooden ship covered with iron.
“Just think of it as a simple helicopter carrier. The platform is for parking helicopters. The engine power is not enough, so a large amount of wood is used to reduce the load, otherwise it will not be able to run.”
This is Zhu Xuefeng's first time designing a large engine. He has no idea what's bigger, so he has to make a transitional product first. Besides, this thing is just to bluff people. It can run fast. If you really rely on it to engage in firefights, it's an ordinary gunboat. Just turn it over.
Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but express his thoughts for a moment. Looking at the two of them, he was even more curious. He stood up with a smile and said, "I can't say any more. Let's go. Isn't the country also building a military port here? , go and take a look.”
“We are not allowed to go in?”
“Just look outside and see how big they can cover it. Is this one? "
The two military ports are not far apart, more than ten kilometers away. Looking at the military port under construction from a distance, it is good and not small in scale, but there is not a single ship. , only a few cargo ships have brought materials and are being loaded and unloaded.
A barbed wire fence has been put up around the shore, which is barely isolated from the outside. Sentries and guards have been set up, and they are very strict. Soldiers can be seen patrolling from a distance.
Zhu Xuefeng suddenly saw a familiar figure, as if he couldn't believe it. He looked carefully again and saw that his abnormal eyesight could confirm it even from a long distance. He was a little surprised for a while.
"Why is he here?"
"Chief, who are you talking about?"
Zhu Xuefeng did not answer, but pointed to the patrolling team in the distance. Next to a jeep, a tall officer was What is arranged.
“When did these people come here?”
“Those teams should have come here in March or April in the first half of the year. They are responsible for guarding the construction of the port here.”
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, feeling that the temporary mission Li Zhenhua mentioned was sent here. It was really interesting. He realized that Song Yan didn’t know Li Zhenhua at all, so he didn’t introduce him. Many of his subordinates were Li Zhenhua’s old subordinates. One day he will be recognized.
"Go and invite the leader over. I have something I want to know about." Song Yan received an inexplicable order and quickly arranged for someone to come over.
In a simple temporary building at the port, the two brothers finally met. Looking at the soldiers who were pushed far away, Li Zhenhua punched Zhu Xuefeng excitedly.
"Good boy, you finally showed up. You don't even know that I've been holding it back for the past few months."
It turns out that Li Zhenhua received the task of guarding the construction of the military port here. It was only after he arrived that he realized that his brother's small base had expanded to its current level, which was simply unimaginable.
The autonomous region now covers an area of 240,000 square kilometers, which is about half that of the south, but it is already larger than Qin Province, but has a population of only over 1.3 million. The south should still have a population of about 18 million.
"It doesn't matter, it's all Zhou Laoba and the others' interests. Haha, I asked you to come earlier and you didn't come. It's not too late to come now."
Li Zhenhua's face was full of disbelief. He had been here for a few months, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. He was still not sure that this was the work of their fourth child. It was not until Zhu Xuefeng appeared in front of him that he was truly sure.
"How many weapons do you have now? I see you still have a lot of helicopters flying around, you also have an air force, and there are ships here. This is to build a navy. How can you be so capable? "
"Brother, I asked you questions one by one. You asked so many questions at once. I will answer you which one is better, haha." In front of Li Zhenhua, Zhu Xuefeng felt a little proud. The last time they met, the autonomous region was still a little proud. It was less than one-tenth the size now.
"Tell me one by one, I want to know." Li Zhenhua was not polite, and Zhu Xuefeng didn't hide it either. "There are more than 30,000 formal armed forces, and we plan to expand more. The Air Force has not yet been established, and they are all training in China. The Navy used these broken ships to build a grassroots team first, and is also waiting for the group of people who have returned from training. We can barely open it until now.”
“It’s amazing, there are 30,000 people, and there are still militiamen.”
“There are some places where there is no way. It's not small. To guard these places, this is the minimum requirement. The population base is really too small and the labor shortage is severe. It is said that with the navy and air force, 50,000 people should be more suitable."
"So. Can you afford to support multiple troops? I see that we are very poor here. You seem to be still building construction everywhere. When we came here, we saw that many roads were being expanded. These costs are not small. You have to support so many troops. Can a population of hundreds of thousands really be tolerated? ”
"It's okay. Now the agriculture here is on the right track. At least we won't be hungry. There are a lot of minerals and timber and local specialties and crops are exported. The freshwater fish resources here are also very rich. When the port is built, people can go out to sea to fish. The ship is another source of income, and it shouldn’t be a big problem to support tens of thousands of soldiers.”
“The agricultural conditions are good here. When we came here, we saw many places that were fertile and had no shortage of water, but were deserted. It's a pity that the grass is growing. If crops had been planted in China,"
Zhu Xuefeng felt the same, "Yes, the population density here in the north is small, and due to years of war, it is all wasteland. , people are also poor, and the poorer they get, the more they move to the south. This year is better, and many people from the south have come here. However, there is no hope for a while to solve the population problem. Even now, it will take more than ten years. Your talents will come in handy.”
“But I think these people are very motivated. Work hard. I am convinced now that you can definitely do something great. It has only been so big in just over two years. The scene."
"Brother, why don't you come over and help me"
Li Zhenhua seemed a little moved, but still shook his head, "We are all organized people, how can we do this. Just run away, just think about this kind of thing, hahahaha, it's you, work harder, build this place better, make more contributions, it won't be long, I have to go back quickly."
Sent off Li Zhenhua, a group of people walked on the beach. Zhu Xuefeng walked in front with his head lowered and his hands behind his back. Song Yan and Li Xiaojun followed beside him. They were very confused. The leader didn't know what he learned from which officer. He kept thinking with his head down after coming out. .
"You didn't say, how about we apply for a group of instructors from China to teach our navy, army and air force?"
"It should be possible. The cooperation between the two parties is close now, and our surroundings Surrounded by so many forces, we want to strengthen our self-defense capabilities, which is a good thing for both parties."
Song Yan thought about it and expressed his opinion.
"Well, hurry up and do this. We have planes and warships now. It's a pity to be idle. We should form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and become a deterrent as soon as possible. Also, the shipyard on the other side of the Heili River must be accelerated, and the new sand dredgers must be put into operation as soon as possible. River reconstruction..."
After unloading all the cultural relics in the basement of Mandele Museum, Zhu Xuefeng felt relaxed. He no longer had to carry these things around and could do what he had long wanted to do. matter.
"This museum will be closed from today and will be strictly guarded. The warehouse in the basement is a top priority. No one is allowed to lose it and no one is allowed to enter. The museum needs to invite experts to plan a reconstruction plan."
“Yes!”
Although I don’t understand why the leader issued this order after going to the basement warehouse alone once. The basement warehouse should be empty. After receiving the order last time It had been moved away long ago, but it did not affect Song Yan's execution of the order.
After another small-scale communication and arrangement in Mandele, Zhu Xuefeng did not participate in the next three-year planning meeting of the autonomous region and had already boarded a special plane bound for Xiangjiang.
The progress in Xiangjiang is also going very smoothly. With the strong coordination of the Hong Kong government, the industrial park of Dongsheng Company has expanded rapidly. Now the number of workers has officially exceeded 40,000, excluding two shipyards and real estate companies and several If the docks and an ocean-going fleet were included, the number of people employed would be close to 100,000.
The scale has far surpassed that of other family-owned enterprises. Because it has solved a large number of employment problems, it has reduced the huge burden on the Hong Kong government and promoted the overall development of Tsuen Wan. Stimulated by the needs of tens of thousands of salaried families, , the residential area surrounding the industrial park is quietly taking shape.
Dongsheng Company is also a big spender. The nearly 30,000 employee housing units completed in the first batch were all rented to employees in the form of low-cost leasing. The rent was less than half of the original factory area in Tsim Sha Tsui. It also promised that the second batch and the The third and fourth batches of housing, totaling 120,000 units, are also open to employees at low rent, attracting a large number of people in the industrial park to inquire about recruitment matters every day.
In less than three months, several streets have been added outside the industrial park, and a spontaneous talent market has quietly taken shape. After visiting the industrial park, the Hong Kong Governor and his party looked at the neatly planned industrial park and the hustle and bustle outside in the distance. Finally, they came to a realization and agreed to Dongsheng Company’s proposal to cooperate with the Hong Kong government to develop Tsuen Wan in advance.
The two shipyards have received internal orders and have resumed production. The civilian shipyards in the autonomous region can only build some small fishing boats. According to Zhu Xuefeng's request, the Taikoo Shipyard here mainly builds new container ships.
Because of its more suitable location, Huangpu Shipyard is also responsible for the production of large oil tankers of more than 10,000 tons. All materials are provided by the steel plant, special materials are purchased by Dongsheng Company, and engine manufacturing is temporarily entrusted to Yangcheng Engine The engine factory is designed by Yangcheng Engine Factory in accordance with the requirements of Dongsheng Company, and is produced after Dongsheng Company evaluates and puts forward suggestions for improvement.
Wu Qianqian is nestling in the man's arms, accompanying him around during the day to inspect, and the night is the time for the two of them to communicate.
“Husband, we are making good progress now. After the first batch of heavy-duty motorcycles were delivered to North America and Europe, thanks to the reputation of our products, sales are now good. According to analysts’ estimates, we will account for about 20% of the total by the end of the year. The above market is expected to reach more than 30% after expanding production capacity again next year.”
“This is a good result. Let’s keep going steadily. The next step is to open up the Middle East market. There is also demand there and there is another one. It has convenient transportation with Eastern Europe. , there are many wealthy countries in Eastern Europe, and they are also open to the Middle East. This is a good springboard. Just as you are preparing, I will take you to meet the prince, and we will communicate more in the future. This line can play a decisive role at critical moments. , you must not take it lightly.”
At this time, Lanslavia was considered to be a standout, and the two camps were trying to win over it, resulting in this area being extremely prosperous, and its industry and commerce were also very developed. Denoslovakia's industry on the side was also very developed. In the 798 Park in the East District of Beijing in later generations, the factories and precision equipment built by them remained. Even decades later, many of the equipment can still be used normally, which shows that the industry was developed at that time. degree.
People and goods from the Middle East and the two camps can be traded here normally, causing the market to be extremely prosperous. Now that Zhu Xuefeng knows about this opportunity that he didn't know about in his previous life, how could he not step in and get through it? Here, the global market is truly opened.
"Do I have to go too? I heard that other women have to wear veils. Women can't stay aside while men talk about things. Is it appropriate for me to go?"
It seems that Wu Qianqian is interested in I also know a little bit about the culture there, but it's not accurate. The man hugged the woman tightly, stroking her green hair, "What you said is not entirely right. You will know when you go there. You will be a business negotiator then. , on behalf of Dongsheng Company, you must attend, don’t have any worries, you forgot, you are the CEO of China Eastern Airlines, and he is a shareholder of China Eastern Airlines, the communication between you two is normal."
"Okay. , I’ll go if you ask me to. I’ve never been to any place, so I’m quite curious.” (End of Chapter)
