380 Shu Road is Difficult, Driving Is Difficult (2/8)
Mr. Liu Ba was an intermediate general of the Sichuan Army, but the result was not from the Kuomintang but from the Democratic League.
Liu Jiuwa, an old bachelor in his fifties, looks no different from an ordinary old farmer. As a result, he is a spy from the Military Control Commission!
Liu Chunlai didn't want to continue asking about the specific matters.
It was completely dark.
In a small town on the edge of the national highway, three cars stopped and filled up the gasoline barrels on the car, and then stopped at a place with lights on in front of a restaurant where the drivers were eating and resting.
Fortunately, Song Shiyuan helped Liu Chunlai and the others get a lot of gasoline tickets.
Otherwise, their cars will fill up the oil in the fuel tank, which will be troublesome.
Stay in a nest?
Not to.
On both sides of the national highway, many places have privately brought various bottles to sell oil. As for the quality of the oil, no one can guarantee it.
The quality of oil at current state-owned gas stations is not very good.
Private oil is not available, the price is also high, and water may be added to it...
I'll have a meal in the restaurant, and there is no such thing as asking for a lot of money.
Not a black store.
But it's just one word - expensive!
There are only a few ordinary dishes, and almost one portion of meat dishes is more than one portion, and vegetarian dishes must also go up.
The only benefit is that rice is free.
Boiled water doesn't cost money either.
After dinner, the car stopped here for a night before continuing to leave.
Every day I drive during the day and find a place to rest at night.
In addition to the toll stations with many people, Liu Jiuwa's obsession was even more a little more whenever he was given a toll station, saying that he would go back and build a toll station on the road built by their brigade. Liu Chunlai was so angry that he wanted to throw him out of the car, but he didn't find any robbery.
National Highway 318 leads to Guocheng.
Although there are many different situations along the way, especially in the area from Hubei Province to Sichuan, the road is either climbing hills or rushing bays.
Before entering this area, the three cars found a guesthouse in Enshi and rested for a night before Liu Chunlai drove the car in front and Zhang Jianmin behind to control the speed of Liu Qianshan's driving.
The junction of the two provinces is all mountains.
There is no end to the winding highway up the mountain, and it is bend after bend.
The road was narrow and the road surface had not been hardened, so it would be even more life-threatening when opened.
Along the way, there were constant clutches and brakes, which were not as easy to drive on the flat road.
In fact, it is not much better than the previous road.
The more than 100 kilometers of road made Liu Chunlai's calf tremble involuntarily after getting off the bus.
It is said that the road to Shu is difficult than climbing to the blue sky.
I don’t know how painful it was for those drivers to drive when the car performance was worse.
Fortunately, the road maintenance team filled the big potholes.
"I finally passed this deadly mountain road." Liu Chunlai sighed.
"This is much easier to walk on than National Highway 210. The 72 turns over there will be life. When going up and down the mountain, there are bends connected to one bend. If you accidentally drive out the roadbed and you can never pick it up again..."
Until he entered Wanzhou, Liu Chunlai was exhausted. He stopped the car and almost stood firm when he got off.
Zhang Jianmin handed him a cigarette and said in a daze.
"In addition to railways, waterways are also safer than this. Cars in Sichuan are now transported by cars, which is really not a solution."
What Liu Chunlai considered more about their future development.
To get out, you must make more efforts in the construction of the dock.
The railway has to pass through Pengxian, but it will take almost ten years for the railway to start construction and will be opened to traffic fifteen years later.
It takes three days to drive to Chengdu from Pengxian!
The reason why he was willing to drive here is that Liu Chunlai was to investigate the traffic conditions along the way.
Although the highway is much faster than the water transportation, when Liu Chunlai was in the plains ahead, he was preparing to go back to find Lu Hongtao and Xu Zhiqiang to expand the scale of the Peng County Transportation Team.
This idea began to be constantly dispelled from entering the mountainous areas of western Hubei Province.
Road transportation will definitely not be his choice unless it is absolutely necessary.
In this way, a problem arises in the industrial layout in Peng County - product transportation.
Shancheng Railway Station!
Transfers by railways must be transferred from Shancheng Railway Station to the whole country.
The waterway reaches Hankou, and it has been opened from Hankou Railway Station to north to south.
You can even go directly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange by water.
Exporting overseas can start from the shipping terminals in the Shanghai Stock Exchange...
If the Shancheng Light Industry Bureau does not have a large amount of investment there, it is probably a troublesome thing to call more train bags to transport products to surrounding cities.
This is too difficult to walk.
Smaller cars are difficult to walk, let alone cars full of loads.
Could it be that Zhang Jianmin and his men did not join the transportation team for this reason?
"You guys can drive, why didn't you join the transportation team?" Liu Chunlai was a little curious.
There will definitely not be many people who can drive these days.
"My dad used to be a transport team. When I was less than ten years old, we learned to drive... Later, we had a car accident and turned 72 times, and the car was destroyed and people were killed. Now the car is still at the foot of the mountain. I couldn't take my dad's shift..."
Zhang Jianmin didn't say much.
Liu Chunlai sighed.
In any era, this kind of thing exists.
It's not too much to be replaced to work. After waiting for a few years, even those who have worked hard for more than ten years and finally got into college and want to change the fate of the entire family can be replaced to go to college...
"Let's rest all night today, leave early tomorrow morning, and you should be able to go to Peng County in the evening." Liu Chunlai could not continue talking to Zhang Jianmin.
How many people who started to make a fuss in the early 1980s are those who have no stories?
Even without wine, the story can be told.
Early the next morning, three cars set off again.
It’s also a mountain road with many bends and narrow roads, and you have to make a mistake from time to time.
Fortunately, most of the roads are Jiefang cars, rather than various long and wide trucks decades later. It is relatively easy to make mistakes. Even the novice driver Liu Qianshan did not show any hangups.
The road of more than 200 kilometers was allowed to take them longer.
Liu Chunlai, who had been driving for four consecutive days, had a sore body all over, and his calves were completely swollen because he had not sat there for a long time.
It was not until the afternoon that we moved from Qu County to Provincial Highway 204 to Lushan County.
Follow the National Highway to Guocheng, and head north from National Highway 244, the journey will be dozens of kilometers.
It was only when it was dark that I entered the county town of Lushan County.
"Or what if I'll take a night off in Lushan County?" Liu Chunlai asked Zhang Jianmin and others.
"Didn't it meant that it was only about twenty kilometers? It only took more than an hour to arrive. There are no restaurants here now..." Ding Yajun suggested.
It's just about to come.
So, go on the road again.
But the car didn't take long to leave.
Chapter completed!
