Because of his special status, little Krupp was assigned to a single-family villa. This villa does not belong to them yet, but is only for their use.
To own the villa, they must make outstanding contributions or buy it with their own money.
The staff responsible for receiving them made this very clear to them.
After the staff left, Mary was scurrying up and down the small villa like a happy bird.
This villa is divided into two floors, with three large rooms on each floor, and the rooms on both sides can be divided into two small bedrooms.
The villa is a move-in type, with all the furniture and daily necessities included.
Mary likes these wooden Chinese furniture very much. Most of them retain the original color of the wood and are very simple, but they have exquisite Chinese carvings on them.
"Dear, these furniture can be used as art collections when taken to Europe. China is really a magical country." Mary said to little Krupp.
"Yes, Mary, look at the industrial area next to this city. I feel that it is about to catch up with the industrial area outside Berlin. Maybe we made the right choice by coming to China."
Mary followed little Krupp out of the main hall. In front of the villa was a small garden of forty or fifty square meters. There were many flowers and some unknown Chinese vegetables planted in the garden.
April is the season of spring flowers blooming. The garden is full of flowers and green grass. Although the garden is small, it is more exquisite and beautiful.
There is a path paved with blue bricks in front of the foyer, leading directly to a small hexagonal pavilion in the garden.
There is a wisteria planted on the edge of the pavilion. Small purple flowers are decorated in strings on the flower vine, which looks particularly bright against the green leaves. In the future, when this wisteria covers the small pavilion, it will become a natural
Parasol.
"Dear, thank you for giving me such a beautiful home." Mary gave little Krupp a deep kiss.
"Mary, have you seen the church in this city? I think I still owe you a church wedding. I will make it up to you after we get settled, okay?"
"Yeah." Mary nodded, with a happy face.
In fact, there are several churches and temples in the city.
There are many technicians in the industrial zone who are foreigners, and some of these people are Catholics and some are Christians, so Dafeng City allows them to build their own churches.
The government will not be responsible for helping them build it. If they want to build it, believers must raise their own money to build it.
Fortunately, the wages of these foreign technicians in the Huai Naval Factory were not low, so they soon pooled their money to build the church.
They also found their own pastors or priests to preside over their churches. However, these people naturally had to pass Huai Haijun's review and become Chinese nationals like these technicians.
Especially in a place like Dafeng Industrial Zone where confidential units are everywhere. Personnel involved in secrets, whether Chinese or foreigners, cannot leave Dafeng City at will.
Of course, there are also temples and Taoist temples in this city. Chinese people are more casual about religion. Most people only regard religion as a part of their spiritual life and a supplement. They are not as dependent on it as Westerners.
Dong Shuheng rested for a night in the guest house, felt full of energy, and regained his full health and resurrection state.
After drifting on the sea for so long, Dong Shuheng's heels were in a state of weakness after landing at Haimen Port.
He plans to stay in Dafeng for two days. This morning he is going to the industrial park for inspection, mainly to the arsenal.
In the afternoon, he was going to the recruit training base to watch a confrontation exercise.
Tomorrow he will go to see those foreign guests again.
When he went out today, Dong Shuheng also brought two troublemakers, King Shang Tai and Du Ji.
Dong Shuheng took them to see Huai Haijun's secret, naturally not because one of them was a woman and the other was a child.
In fact, Dong Shuheng wanted to show them the core strength of Huai Haijun, so that they would not have second thoughts in the future and Dong Shuheng would have to make more detours.
One of them is the King of Ryukyu, and Ryukyu will definitely be the benchmark in the Greater China Circle in the future. Just look at how much energy Dong Shuheng spends on developing Naha.
The other one is Japanese. Although Du Ji cannot represent Japan now, Dong Shuheng feels that there must be communication between her and Qi Bin.
How could a hero like Qi Bin suddenly develop autism? Dong Shuheng didn't believe it anyway, but he just didn't want to expose it.
I concealed something from the foreigners just to prevent the foreigners from joining forces to strangle me.
But for these younger brothers in the future, you must fully demonstrate your strength, so as to gain more loyalty.
The so-called loyalty in most cases is just that the cost of betrayal is too high!
They drove all the way to the industrial area. Shang Tai and Du Ji felt that they had walked into a jungle of chimneys. Almost every factory had a large chimney.
There is no way, most factories today use steam engines, and to use steam engines, coal must be burned. In order to reduce smoke and dust, the chimney can only be built higher.
Fortunately, this place has the sea to the east. In the autumn and winter when smoke is the most harmful, the northwest wind blows, and the smoke and dust produced by burning coal are blown to the sea. In the spring and summer, there is a lot of rain here, which can also reduce the smoke.
Influence.
Although Dong Shuheng knows the importance of environmental protection, he really has no choice or ability to do anything about environmental protection now.
The so-called development and governance at the same time cannot be realized here in Dong Shuheng.
We can still only follow the old path of polluting first and then treating. But in the future, China will have more land, and we can find a place to centrally locate polluting industries.
Qi Bin also established an industrial zone in Kagoshima, but it was much smaller than the one here. Atsuki felt that any factory here was larger than the entire industrial zone in Kagoshima.
Dong Shuheng strolled through the industrial area. He had not planned a factory to inspect before arriving.
He entered several factories at random and chatted cordially with the workers in the factories, talking about the production situation, their wages and benefits, and what other needs they had.
People in this era have really simple requirements. Most of what Dong Shuheng heard along the way was words of thanks to Huai Haijun.
These workers were all from poor backgrounds. They felt that having enough to eat was a good life, and it was Huai Haijun who gave them such a life.
Now they can not only have enough to eat, but their children can also go to school, which was something they could not even imagine before.
In fact, the wages of Huaihai Navy workers are not high now. It is just that Huaihai Navy has a stable source of food, which allows Huaihai Navy to maintain food prices at a reasonable level. Everyone can eat and clothe themselves under the current income level.
warm.
The Huaihai Navy is still in its early stage, and most of its funds are spent on military construction and expansion, and it cannot yet prioritize the welfare of workers.
Maybe when the next generation enters the factory, they will start fighting for their rights and higher treatment.
Perhaps the workers who entered the factory at that time were not as simple as today's workers. It is difficult for the generation that has not been tortured by hunger to understand the dedication of the first generation of entrepreneurs.
"Sir, how many years will it take to build so many factories?" Duji asked carefully, following Dong Shuheng.
She was still wearing a Huaihai Navy military uniform today. If she followed Dong Shuheng out for inspection wearing women's clothes, it would attract onlookers.
"What do you think? How old are you today, Duji?" Dong Shuheng did not answer, but asked instead.
If ordinary people asked Du Ji her age, she would definitely not tell her. This is a very rude behavior after all. But Dong Shuheng must have other reasons for asking this question.
"Sir, Du Ji is 19 years old."
"Oh, we are the same age!" Dong Shuheng glanced at her, looked at her big eyes under the brim of his hat, and then said, "These factories were built after I took over the family business at the age of 18."
Duji looked at Dong Shuheng in surprise. This adult was as old as herself.
When you are with him, people rarely pay attention to his age. After all, no one will recognize such a powerful person based on his appearance or age.
And he actually built such a large industrial zone in more than a year. No, it seems like there are more than just this one.
"Shang Tai, let's take you to see some interesting things." Dong Shuheng said to Shang Tai who was standing aside.
After passing through many checkpoints, Dong Shuheng's convoy arrived at a fortress-like factory. The factory was very huge and surrounded by high walls. Both of them couldn't help but become very curious.
"What you see next are the core secrets of our Huai Navy. Remember not to leak them." Dong Shuheng threatened the two of them with a serious look on his face.
In fact, since Dong Shuheng dared to bring them here, he was not afraid of leaking the secret. These two were not experts in this field and would not learn the new technology of the arsenal at a glance.
Dong Shuheng first arrived at the rifle production line.
Huai Haijun's current rifle production line is mainly divided into three areas. The core area is the production line of Type 53 rifles. Some of these production lines are transformed from the previous Dresser production line, and some are production lines produced and installed by Huai Hai Haijun themselves.
Since switching back to a full set of machine tool production technology from Prussia, the Huaihai Navy's processing machinery production level has reached a new level. The production speed of the Type 53 rifle will be faster and faster. At present, the Huaihai Navy's front-line field troops have not yet been fully completed.
The replacement work is limited by the lack of production capacity.
Next is the production line for flintlock guns with front rifling. This production line is much simpler, mainly because the rifling engraving work takes more time.
The demand for these guns is even greater. The Huaihai Navy's militia has reached nearly 200,000 and is still expanding. If all of them were equipped with such rifled guns, it would be a huge number.
Dong Shuheng has always regarded the ownership of guns as a kind of soft power to build. Because with China's current population base, the number of guns means how many infantry can be mobilized in wartime.
Dong Shuheng's previous statement about the mobilization capability of tens of millions of infantrymen is not false.
Boys all love guns, so Shang Tai looked around at the finished product display booth without caring about the image.
After seeing these production workshops, Du Ji truly realized that the most fundamental strength of the Huai Navy was not the soldiers on the battlefield, but the production workshops hidden within the high walls.
He also remembered that Dong Shuheng said not to make the Americans anxious. They have a complete industrial system, and the factories that produce machinery can be used to produce rifles and artillery at any time.
"Industrial strength is combat strength!" Atsuki secretly thought in her heart.
Next, when we arrived at the artillery workshop, Geng Jia was still leading the way.
"President, would you like to take a look at a heavy mortar we produced?" Geng Jia said, obviously seeking credit.
"Oh, heavy mortar? What's the caliber?" Dong Shuheng asked.
"The 105mm caliber is very effective for attacking city walls. However, the range is somewhat compromised, only more than 500 meters.
Although reinforced steel pipes are used, the strength is still not enough, so we can only reduce some propellant. But we can use trenches to push forward and bring mortars into range." Geng Jia finished the introduction in one breath.
"Well..." Dong Shuheng pondered for a moment and said, "Communicate with the army and listen to their opinions. When appropriate, you can take it to the front line for actual combat testing."
"Yes, President, this is what the troops mentioned to us. They feel that the current firepower is too slow to attack the city wall."
"Well, you did a good job." Dong Shuheng glanced at Geng Jia approvingly.
