Chapter 2750
When Bai Kesi refers to local production, he does not mean completing the entire production process in the Donghai region. Due to production conditions, most of the manufacturing of weapons and equipment has to be completed in the Shimada Industrial Zone in Hainan. It is not until the industrial base in the Donghai Region completes the infrastructure and a stable production environment that the entire production line can be completed. Move here.
However, the production process of some export-oriented weapons and equipment can be adjusted, and the finished parts will be transported to the Donghai Region, and the final assembly process will be completed here.
Although it only serves as an assembly workshop, the final place of production of these weapons and equipment is in the Donghai Region. The Donghai Region will be able to share a part of the corresponding sales revenue, and the income will be very considerable. This is a disguised form of subsidy to the East China Sea Region.
Shi Diwen smiled and said: "In this case, I have to find a way to sell more arms!"
Bai Kesi said: "You sell and sell, but you can't let the situation in East Asia get out of control."
Shi Diwen nodded understandingly and said: "I understand."
There are not many targets in the East China Sea Region that can sell large amounts of arms. In fact, the two countries are mainly North Korea and Japan. If the world is at peace, the arms sales situation will definitely not be better. Therefore, whether you are taking the North Korean navy to Edo Bay to show off your power, or secretly contacting the Satsuma clan, you are actually trying to create tension to stimulate the arms trade. carry out.
The Donghai Region has already been carrying out these actions, and Bai Kesi's statement was a reassurance for Shi Diwen. Since this matter has the support of the executive committee, he can go ahead and do it.
The afternoon meeting continued to focus on the capital relocation plan, and officials from various regions participating in the meeting successively reported on the progress of the projects they were responsible for. These reports are basically composed of various data, and the content is quite boring. Participants have to rely on frequent brewing of strong tea to maintain energy.
After the meeting, a group of foreign officials took the lead in resigning and rushed back to their jurisdictions overnight. Of course they also wanted to stay and fawn over the senior officials from the capital, but both Bai Kesi and Shi Diwen emphasized the progress requirements of the capital relocation plan at the meeting and asked them to focus on their own tasks as much as possible. At this time, their work performance was You have to be more proactive, as it will leave a better impression on senior officials than staying around to suck up to you.
After dinner, when he returned to the room, Bai Letong stepped back and personally made a pot of tea for Bai Kesi. The father and son sat in front of the window, and the topic was still the content of today's meeting.
Bai Letong said: "There are many projects in the capital relocation plan, and the audit work is complicated. How can the executive committee only let you be responsible for such a complicated work? If there are a few more people, we can at least share some of the work."

Bai Kesi closed his eyes slightly to rest, and replied: "The New Year is coming, everyone has their own things to be busy with, and it is not so easy to get out. If one person leaves, the work left behind may have to be shared by several people. I am When I came out, I started handing over the work at hand as early as two months ago.”
Bai Letong said: "Could it be that my father's tour will take a long time?"
Bai Kesi nodded slightly and said: "After reading the East China Sea Region, you may have to go to the north. Shandong and Liaodong have large mineral deposits, so the north will also launch a number of heavy industry projects, but the specific implementation process and future production The allocation of resources needs to be further coordinated with the Northern Region," Bai Letong said: "So, won't the Northern Region be extremely rich in the future?"
Bai Kesi said: "We don't have to wait for the future. Now the financial situation of the northern region is quite good due to mining of mineral deposits. The Shandong Peninsula has gold and copper, the Liaodong Peninsula has iron and coal, and two years ago, another one was drilled on the edge of the Liao River. With just a few oil wells, the annual output is much higher than the harvest of traditional agriculture. In the future, the pace of industrialization may be faster than that of the East China Sea Region!”
For Chen Yixin, who is in charge of the Bohai Bay Rim region, over the past ten years or so, he seems to have found a development path suitable for the northern region, which is to mine and mine continuously.
Haihan's mining technology and production efficiency were far ahead of this era, and Chen Yixin also made full use of this to conduct large-scale mining of minerals within his jurisdiction. Chen Yixin is not only satisfied with the upstream production links such as mining and smelting. He also hopes to introduce manufacturing to the northern region and use these minerals to create greater value.
However, the Executive Committee still has some unresolved disputes about Chen Yixin's idea. The main reason is that the Northern Region is too far away from the Executive Committee. If manufacturing is introduced locally, it will not be able to effectively supervise and control the industrial production capacity of the Northern Region in the future, thus breeding Unstable factors emerge.
Such worries are by no means unfounded. The northern region needs people, food, and mines. Once it is on track to move towards industrial civilization, it will soon form a self-sufficient local separatist force. The purpose of Bai Kesi's inspection in the Northern Region was to confirm that the local top-down governance system was still firmly in the hands of Haihan, so that certain important industrial technologies could be gradually liberalized.
Bai Letong said: "According to your opinion, the industrial potential of the Northern Region is even greater than that of the East China Sea Region?"
Bai Kesi nodded affirmatively and said: "This is the fact. Although the Donghai Region is rich, it does not have many minerals, so it is difficult to have an industrial layout similar to the coal-iron complex of Changhua, Datongjiang, and Liaodong. What we can do , that is, some high-end manufacturing industries are concentrated in the East China Sea region to maintain control of advanced industrial technologies, but raw materials still have to be imported from other places.”
Bai Letong said: "But this is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. I think we still have to find ways to maintain the executive committee's control over the local area."
Bai Kesi said: "The Executive Committee has actually been making efforts in this area, but some problems left over from the early power distribution are not so smooth to solve now. There are also limitations in transportation and communication technology, which makes the Executive Committee It is difficult to impose orders and prohibitions on local governments, so we can only delegate power to local governments in a form of near autonomy. If these technical barriers are overcome and people can travel thousands of miles away in one day, many things will be easier to do. ”
Bai Letong said: "What father is talking about is an airplane? I heard that an airport will be built on the south bank of the Qiantang River opposite Hangzhou City in the future. Could it be that this artifact can be promoted and used?"
Bai Kesi sighed: "Flying is possible, but the performance is not stable. There are still relatively high risks in long-distance flying, and it still needs to be polished and adjusted. But the airport is a necessary facility in the capital. If it is built early, it will be available at any time in the future. Ready for use ”
