Chapter 72 The Fourth Fleet

Gu Weijun shook his body violently, and something suddenly occurred to his mind. It seemed that several large domestic companies all used the same voltage standard. For example, Yangtze Electric Power, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Electric Power, and Wuhu Electric Power all used the 220v standard.

And these three power companies seem to have their own spheres of influence. Yangtze Power Jiujiang began to move westward, encompassing Jiangxi.

The provincial capitals of Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces and their surrounding areas. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Electric Power swept all large and medium-sized cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong along the coastline. Northern Electric Power Company separated its territories in Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang, and

Re, Cha, Shanxi, Mongolia, plus a northeastern market controlled by Wuhu Electric Power. These power companies seem to have a tacit understanding to develop within their respective spheres of influence.

Gu Weijun broke out in a cold sweat. The only way to introduce standards was the standards implemented by these four companies. The more he thought about it, he suddenly realized a problem. This standard was what Fang Jianxiong wanted. As for nationalization to be implemented, five

Don't even think about getting the support of the majority of Congress within ten years.

"Shaochuan, industrialization is inseparable from standardization, which means savings and efficiency. The standards we are promoting domestically now should be Asian standards or even world standards in the future. What you have to do is to set standards, what I have to do is to

standards imposed on other countries. We already have some standards

If you fall behind, you can only learn from other people's standards. But it doesn't matter, the changes in this century are so fast that human thinking cannot keep up. Industrialization has brought earth-shaking changes to the world. If you don't want to be left behind by the world's top countries,

, you should work hard and seize the day!"

This was a successful conversation, or a successful deception. In short, the conversation was not too long and gave Gu Weijun a deep understanding. Gu Weijun, who calmed down and reflected deeply, soon changed his position as Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Gu Weijun has always been concerned about many issues that he did not pay attention to or even criticized in the past. For example, the railway issue.

Everyone has different views on this issue. At that time, the Sichuan road protection movement was under the banner of protecting road rights. It launched a vigorous resistance. Later, after the establishment of the Republic of China, the means of recovering railway rights was more direct. Gu Weijun opposed the nationalization of railways and opposed the removal of railway rights.

The management rights were handed over to foreign capital. But now it seems that many things are not as simple as I thought.

As far as railways are concerned, in August 2020, the Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic with American capital and technology. In October last year, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic with American capital. Thirty years of operating rights plus the current free national

The rapid economic development has deeply stimulated the investment of American capital in China.

Capital **. After the Wuhu-Wuhan-Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic, the US-funded Douglas Road and Bridge Company decided to build another Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It connects Jinpu Road and Huning Road. The bridge is still two-story, built

In the end, the fees alone can recover the cost within fifteen years.

This Douglas was the former president of Citibank in China. This person took full advantage of his good relations with Chinese government officials and won the construction and operation rights of the two bridges. On the surface, it seemed that foreign investment was allowed to build railways and

Bridges betray the country's power, especially the Yangtze River Bridge, which is definitely a strategic bridge. But when you calm down and look at it, if you don't rely on foreign capital and technology, how long will it take?

How can such a bridge be built? In the Guangdong-Hankou Railway back then, Zhang Zhidong spent huge sums of money to take back the road rights from foreigners, but what happened next? It can be said that there was almost no aftermath. The operation of the entire railway was paralyzed. Several years ago,

Years of time were wasted. It was not until Fang entered Beijing that the construction of the Guangdong-Han Railway was restarted. Although the railway operation rights were given for thirty years, it was equivalent to getting a Guangdong-Han Railway in vain thirty years later.

.

While Gu Weijun admired Mr. Fang, he did not expect that there was a big pit ahead. That was the world economic crisis that occurred in the 1930s. The more American capital there was in China, the greater the benefits the Republic of China would receive.

This pit can only be deep

Buried in his heart, Fang Jianxiong couldn't tell anyone. This is like borrowing money from the Germans and then abandoning it. Otherwise, why are the Germans resistant to China? Isn't it forced to have no way out?

.The Germans will not choose to cooperate with China.

Digging holes using travelers' understanding of historical trends has always been Fang Jianxiong's favorite thing to do. In order to show equal treatment of foreign investment, the railway construction in the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Guangxi and Guangdong will be carried out this time.

The honeymoon period of Sino-German cooperation was left to the Germans to build

. The German investment in the railways in these provinces alone is as much as one billion yuan. Fang Jianxiong is just waiting for the outbreak of the world anti-fascist war. If the railways in the Northwest did not have much oil and water, the foreigners would not be willing

Fang Jianxiong wished that the Germans would invest in building railways.

Of course, Gu Weijun would not know Fang Jianxiong’s plan and could only discuss the matter. Although he could see the reality of the rapid development of industry in the Republic of China, what was even more important to see was that, except for the freak Eurasia Group, other private capitals were mainly focused on achieving results.

Fast light industrial field.

Fang Jianxiong went back to the box to rest, and Gu Weijun, who had been excited all night, also went back to catch up on his sleep. There was still time to get some sleep before Nanchang.

When the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was built, President Sun Baoqi personally attended the opening ceremony. This bridge adopted the latest technology, with two floors, and the bridge height was higher than the one in parallel time and space, which avoided some troubles in the future.

It is normal for Fang Jianxiong to rarely show up for anything that attracts publicity. Today, the atmosphere on both sides of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was unusual. The troops closing the bridge were on high alert, prohibiting any unrelated personnel from approaching within 500 meters.

The special train stopped for half an hour in Wuchang. Gu Weijun got off the bus in Wuchang and began his inspection along the river. Regarding the hybrid rice matter, it was enough for Marshal Fang to go there. After communicating with Fang Jianxiong, Gu Weijun gained a lot and decided to inspect along the river.

electric power company

Set the tone for the company's standard affairs. Since Fang Jianxiong has grasped the general direction, he has implemented it himself. Judging from the standards of several major power companies, the matter of unifying electric power standards started when Fang Jianxiong was still in Wuhu. When he came

It's too late to worry.

After the end of the European War, the Navy was reorganized, and the headquarters of the Navy's Fourth Fleet moved away from Guangzhou and to Zhanjiang. In terms of strength, the Fourth Fleet is the weakest among the four fleets, with only two Qingdao-class battleships.

The Xun Zhanjiang and Sanya were designed and produced by Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group. However, these two warships have always been the pride of the Chinese Navy because they are warships of more than 10,000 tons designed and produced by China.

When Fang Jianxiong's special train stopped at Xiashan Station, Chen Ce, commander of the Navy's Fourth Fleet, had been waiting for a long time. Today, the navy of the Republic of China ranks fourth in the world, second only to the navies of Britain, the United States and Japan. After years of integration, the navy has

It was not the old situation with many sluggish factions. Two young naval admirals, Chen Shaokuan and Chen Ce, stood out and served as commanders of the Third and Fourth Fleet respectively, both with the rank of rear admiral.

The welcoming ceremony was very simple. Fang Jianxiong ended the process at the train station by saying, "In a hurry, if you have anything to say, put it on and talk." Then he took a bus to the dock and boarded the Fourth Fleet cruiser Ninghai. The reason why he boarded this ship was

The Yulin Military Port in Sanya is currently under construction and cannot accommodate large warships. Besides, this

Yulin Port is not a large terminal, but a base for the Navy's submarine force. Putting the submarine force in Yuling Port will naturally focus on the maritime communication lines of the South China Sea. There are thirty-six of the latest submarines.

To put it bluntly, sending half of them out will paralyze half of the routes in the South China Sea.

Looking at the overall situation, Hainan is still relatively backward and even primitive. It was only in the second half of the Republican Party's second term in office that the cabinet began to increase its support for Hainan's development. Before that, Hainan's development mainly relied on Nanyang.

The overseas Chinese cultivated plantations in Hainan and planted natural rubber. Rubber, as a strategic resource, has always relied on imports from Southeast Asia. After the overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia planted large areas in Hainan, they received national attention. Is it necessary to plant rubber on a large scale domestically?

Rubber, Fang Jianxiong has always had a hard time making up his mind. Rubber is too domineering, and large-area planting will inevitably lead to ecological imbalance. With the development of national industry, the importance of rubber has become increasingly prominent. Without Fang Jianxiong's intervention, the cabinet has already taken action.

Yunnan, Leizhou, Hainan and other places suitable for rubber planting have introduced policies to encourage rubber planting. In just a few years, they have attracted a large number of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia to return home. In Hainan alone, more than fifty rubber plantations of various sizes have appeared.

The rich iron ore in Changjiang, Hainan has begun to be developed, but only in the past two years, Tiandu near Sanya also has high-quality iron ore, but the scale is not large. In parallel history, the Tiandu Railway was used by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War

Digging it out. In this time and space, this kind of thing will naturally not happen.

It took about an hour to get from Zhanjiang to Yulin. Chen Ce took the time to "report" to Fang Jianxiong, which was actually a complaint.

"Fu Shuai, it's not that I like to complain. The Fourth Fleet has always been a grandma who doesn't care for an uncle who doesn't love him. Finally, Sanya has an additional Yulin base. However, it is not under the control of the Fourth Fleet. It is directly under the naval force." Chen Ce said with a sigh.

It's a weird Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent, which sounds awkward to listen to. No one in this time and space is proud to speak with a Cantonese accent. Only if you can speak Beijing movies fluently can you be called classy.

Fang Jianxiong really doesn't care about this, knowing that Chen Ce will definitely complain. This is a national strategic consideration. The focus of the Fourth Fleet is in Nanyang, laying out the layout for World War II more than ten years later. After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the navy in the fifteen years

The vacation is still long, so we can't just send everyone to the Fourth Fleet at this time. Wouldn't that be just to make the British dissatisfied?

"Stop complaining, just say what you want. Let me make it clear first that I don't have warships of more than 10,000 tons. I will give you at most two destroyers and two brigades of naval aviation." Fang Jianxiong said with these people who like to pester people.
