Chapter 156 Peaceful Development
In Jiangxi, workers were busy and busy. Hammers and steel drills were drilled deep holes on the rocks. On the construction site, the commander of each construction site ran back and forth with drawings, drew circles with pencils, and measured the depth of the holes. Recorded the amount of labor of each group of workers. After the hole was drilled, a specific team of soldiers took detonators and explosives into the gun holes. After completing the work, they carefully retreated and lit the fuse, and exploded hidden in the rocks.
The medicine was ignited. Because the front end of the charge was hollow, the high-heat and high-pressure rays flowed towards the inside of the rock body in the narrow cave. The huge shock wave generated by the explosives was like a high-pressure water gun in a fixed direction. The explosives produced by the entire chain hammer club were limited, and energy-gathering blasting could save a large amount of explosives. The explosion was not a sound but a series of sequences. Under the power of the explosive shock wave, a series of rocks fell off. After the explosion, workers began to enter the gravel to set up rails.
All routes passed by the entire railway were inspected by Cheng Pan through super-sense. Tens of thousands of drawings along the road were drawn at the same time by Cheng Pan with his mindfulness. Each drawing was sophisticated that the distance and depth of each blast hole. Then, at the order of the Linkhammer Club, the railway troops drove into the construction site to carry out this dangerous work. The administrative departments along the road organized the employment of local people, and the reward was iron farm tools and grain.
There is no force to oppose it, and there is no need to consider morale. Even if there are casualties during the blasting process, the work will continue. All this is like a strategic game. The key projects established by Lianxiu Society in the past two years are three lines and three points. The three lines are Huaibei across the Dabie Mountains, Huaibei across the opposite bank of Ma'anshan, Jiujiang reaches Anyuan Coal Mine, and three railway lines. The three points are Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, Hubei East Steel Plant, and Anyuan Coal Mine. The three lines connect the iron ore and coal mines to facilitate the rapid transfer between Hubei and Anhui. The entire plan requires two
The year has been completed, and the steel workers of Anshan have arrived in eastern Hubei and Anshan to debug production equipment. The original plan of Anshan to continue to expand production capacity while sending a large amount of talents was frustrated. Compared with the 600,000 tons of steel output last year, it may only increase to 800,000 tons this year. Moreover, this large amount of steel began to be inclined towards construction and development, and the military-industrial production capacity began to decrease. However, the biggest problem faced by the Chainhammer Society in a short time after reaching a ceasefire agreement with the Qing Dynasty was not military pressure, but agricultural pressure, and the upcoming natural disaster.
1899 was a bad year. The Yellow River Basin was full of drought, but the Yangtze River Basin was flooded. In the past, the Qing Dynasty was now suffering from internal and external troubles. The drought in the two places was only brought by the Spring and Autumn style. There were very few specific data records. Cheng Pan had no reference to later generations, so he could only conduct on-site inspections and organize the masses to repair several major key water conservancy projects. He should take precautions before disasters come. The army trapped in Jiangxi and Hunan began to put down its guns and pick up shovels.
China is simple. When the army picks up a shovel and digs the canal, the last awareness of the regional nature of the chain club in Hunan and Jiangxi may be divided into fellow villagers' clubs due to dialects. However, when the soldiers working, everyone regards the army as their own. It can be said that the relationship between the military and civilians in the original position is the key to unifying the world. This is the real nationalization of the army and the people. When a disaster comes, as long as the people consider "where is our army" at the first time, it is impossible for other forces to seize China through military struggle.
The local government and military officials at all levels in Hunan responded to this situation. Cheng Pante held a meeting at Lianxiu Club to discuss how to promote the situation here. At the same time, the army formulated rigid regulations to solidify the army's spirit of serving the people. After the army received the support of the people, the army expanded very quickly in Hunan and Jiangxi. These armies have not yet been on the battlefield. They just have discipline, obey orders, and sweat to complete the construction of the country. However, as long as they strictly abide by the belief that they are the people's army, a military soul will be in the form of a military soul. Once they encounter war, they will mature quickly.
In the trade zone near Ma'anshan, a merchant ship with British flag was inspected by ships hanging on the chain hammer flag and released into the market. Since the Yangtze River Combined Fleet organized by the British last year, no foreign ship dared to cross the border between Jiangsu and Anhui in two months. However, capital is profit-seeking. Two months later, the first captain who dared to eat crabs appeared. It is said that the ship was wandering on the river surface. After seeing the Anhui supervision ship, hesitating whether to come over. Later, he put down the boat and communicated with the supervision ship of the chain hammer club and learned that as long as he did not carry opium, he could enter. At that time, the captain immediately sweared that he was definitely not a virtuous opium dealer. After he led the supervisors of the chain hammer club to visit the cabin, he was released. The captain's cargo was not sold much for the first time, and he brought the chain hammer club's
The supply list came to Shanghai. When he brought supplies to Ma'anshan for the second time, the ground had already begun to break ground and it would become a big city in the future. The captain made a lot of money by selling goods. Based on the principle of making money in silence, he did not promote it. However, the merchants in Shanghai were too sensitive to information on making money. Since the expansion of the Chainhammer Society, the merchants who had originally expected to further explore the mainland Chinese market after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 were like being beaten by the head, and some even shouted to send troops. However, the British Far East military forces had just turned back from monitoring the US movements, and there was no accurate assessment of the Chainhammer Society's war. At this time, Britain's interests in the Yangtze River Basin were concentrated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Anhui was a poor province, and Hubei's interests had not yet appeared. Britain was afraid that after his intervention in the war, it would affect its interests in Jiangsu.
Britain did not make up its mind to attack, which made the merchants impatient. At this time, someone was carrying goods to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which attracted everyone's attention. Then, under the joint force of the merchants, the captain said the rules of the Chainhammer trade: "As long as you don't transport opium." Now, due to the increase in China's local opium production, there is very little opium trade. These merchants can survive without relying on opium business. The key is to open up a market.
These people came with goods, but they didn't make money for the first time. They didn't know what the Lianchu Club needed, and they also arrived in Anhui with a large number of watches and pleasure supplies. However, after observing the local market, they also received the list of supplies that Lianchu Club hoped to get, and all the goods were sold in the second wave. Heard that Lianchu Club was going to build a giant steel factory in Ma'anshan. News from Anhui immediately made Shanghai's foreign companies explode. The trade of industrial equipment is definitely a big order business. Because the Yangtze River Basin was originally classified as a sphere of influence by the UK, the UK wanted to eat all orders in one go. It insisted that it was still closed now.
During the lockdown period, I hope that merchants from all countries will not move towards Anhui. The British's behavior of eating alone aroused public anger from all countries, including their own ally France. However, the British were determined to take down the newly opened Yangtze River market this time. According to the British merchants' understanding of the land of the Chainhammer Society, and some technicians who worked for the Chainhammer Society at the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau, they learned that the Chainhammer Society is now working hard to build, and its scale is comparable to the Westernization Movement implemented by the entire Qing Dynasty. Various equipment and materials are in a state of hunger and thirst, and the precious metal property of the robbed small nobles (clans) was hoarded by this anti-government force.
The British only need a market, of course, if they can export capital, it would be better, but the Chainhammer Society has linked RMB and grain to become credit currency, and the British cannot get involved in this area.
After the British trade voyage in Anhui was opened, they wanted to negotiate with Lianchushe, but the British asked for the price too high, so they wanted the three railways of Lianchushe, but they were bombed out. Due to face issues, the British minister, who was used to being the emperor in China, did not continue to communicate with Lianchushe, and the British who controlled the estuary of the Yangtze River thought they had seized the lifeline of Lianchushe.
The British did not know that there was a superb smuggling weapon in this world. The grain purchased by several American bag companies was transported in this way by Cheng Pan.
Anqing Manufacturing Bureau no longer moved all to Huaibei Industrial Zone. These workers were satisfied with the work method of not supervising workers and calculating part-time compensation, but they were also unhappy. The inspectors from the army had very strict requirements for standard inspection of each part, and all the errors were reworked. After being taught by rework several times, these workers placed the quality and output on the same standards.
Cheng Pan came to the ammunition warehouse full of orange bullets and shells. Now the entire arsenal produces 300,000 rounds per month, and the 75mm caliber shell is 10,000 rounds per month. At this cumulative speed, the Chain Hammer Club can deal with the attacks of 50,000 foreign troops, and the matter must be fully prepared. Bullet production work cannot be stopped. Heavy machine guns and water pipe submachine guns are big ammunition-consuming enterprises. Cheng Pan came to this era and found that it was really difficult to use advanced firepower suppression tactics in the years since he started his business. Manpower is everything. Now Cheng Pan runs to school every few days. Looking at the half-birth-old boys who frowned in the face of this arithmetic problem, Cheng Pan finally understood the feeling of parents all over the world forcing their children to study.
