Through conversations with Wang Jiuling these days, Falkenhausen felt that Xikang was simply a paradise for him to realize his dream. As long as Falkenhausen's suggestions were submitted to Wang Jiuling, Wang Jiuling would discuss them with him one by one and put forward his own opinions for discussion. Finally,
He had no objections and started to implement it. What surprised him most was that Xikang's work efficiency was really amazing. The speed was much faster than many places and even Germany.
Therefore, Falkenhausen used the best words to praise Wang Jiuling in the evaluation report, and also gave many examples to illustrate
The German side also launched a heated discussion, and finally decided to increase support for Wang Jiuling. Putting eggs in one basket is obviously not in Germany's interests. In the past, apart from the Nanjing National Government, there was no other investment value.
At the behest of Hitler, Germany handed over all the power to help Wang Jiuling to Falkenhausen, who had already served as Wang Jiuling's military adviser.
This is great news for Wang Jiuling. Wang Jiuling did not dare to propose too much before because there was not enough benefit for Germany, and Germany would not agree to it. But now with Falkenhausen's help, Wang Jiuling
Bian will soon be able to establish a complete industrial system. At the same time, Wang Jiuling will also encourage Long Yun, Deng Xihou, and Liu Xiang to build factories.
With the arrival of German technicians, the equipment was also in place, and Wang Jiuling had already prepared the factory. He just installed the equipment and then renovated the unreasonable areas. Half a month later, a gun and artillery arsenal and a chemical plant were built.
OK, start production
As for the steel plant, one has almost been built. This is of course due to Wang Jiuling's previous design and construction of a factory of this size. Once the German equipment arrives, it will be installed and then production can begin. As for the
If there is no well-built area, it will not affect the construction of the steel plant at all.
Through the efforts of German steel experts, technicians, and scientists, a method for refining vanadium-ilmenite ore was quickly found.
These guys are more anxious than Wang Jiuling. They are all talents in Germany's top steel industry, and Germany also urgently needs Xikang's steel plant to be put into operation, so that Germany can get the steel they urgently need. Hitler's economic measures require a lot of resources.
, and steel is the top priority
At the same time, after Germany confirmed the Lanjian Iron Mine, in order to quickly help Wang Jiuling improve Xikang's economy, Germany once again provided Wang Jiuling with a low-interest loan of US$8 million, and sent a large number of railway designers to Xikang to help Wang Jiuling design
Railway, and the money will be used to build the railway from Shangri-La to Yibin, and the repayment will be in iron ore or iron ore
This railway Wang Jiuling intends to be like the railways of later generations, starting from Shangri-La City (Panzhihua City), passing through Yanbian County, Huili, Dechang, passing Xichang, and going to Leshan City. Then the steel can be unloaded here and transported to Shanghai by freighter.
, it was transported to Germany by ocean-going freighters, and Germany also felt that this was really good, because it was difficult for ocean-going freighters to enter Yibin. There were many places where it was easy to get stranded and it was unsafe, but they forgot and promised to build a line from Leshan in the future if their financial resources allowed.
The railway goes to Chongqing, so their ocean-going freighters can definitely come in and there is no need to unload the cargo.
And Wang Jiuling built the railway to Leshan in order not to waste resources. Historically, the railway was built along the route mentioned by Wang Jiuling. In the future, Wang Jiuling will build the railway to Chengdu, and then to Chongqing. Of course, at this time, this section
There is already a railway, it just needs to be widened
The railway track currently used in Soviet Russia is "broad gauge" with a gauge of 1524 mm, so Wang Jiuling also plans to adopt such a standard. The reason why Wang Jiuling did this is because China has a large population, a vast land and abundant resources, and the narrow gauge transportation capacity is limited. At the same time,
It is not as stable as broad gauge. At the same time, China does not have many railways yet. China needs at least millions of kilometers of railways, but now it is only a few thousand kilometers. Instead of waiting for China to find that narrow gauge is not suitable in the future and then change it, it is better to do it now.
Wang Jiuling initially planned to use 1650mm rails, but after thinking about it, the Soviet Union used 1524mm rails. This kind of rails was used in areas as vast as Siberia, and they had already built so many railways.
Wang Jiuling still has an idea. If we go to attack Soviet Russia, the railway tracks happen to be the same. There is no need to unload the supplies and load them onto the Soviet-Russian broad-gauge trains. Instead, the railways will be connected directly, and the trains can drive directly there.
, that saves a lot of time, especially during war, time is victory
Wang Jiuling had to think about taking advantage of the evil Mao Zi. A man as proud as himself actually imitated Mao Zi. He never expected that everything he thought about today would become a reality. Later, when millions of troops were in Central Asia and the Ural Mountains, most of them
Supplies were transported by train, and there were thousands of immigrants, but that’s a story for another day.
In addition to concealing his idea of occupying Soviet Russia, Wang Jiuling explained why he wanted to use broad gauge railways, which was recognized by German experts. Indeed, broad gauges will transport more things, and so will the amount of steel transported.
A lot, ship more steel to Germany, of course they are willing
Wang Jiuling saw that they were happy, so he took the opportunity to hope that Germany would provide rail production technology and special cement production technology. Wang Jiuling told German experts that if it would take a lot of time to transport rails from Germany, it would delay the progress of the railway, and Xikang's steel might be
It will take a delay of half a year for a large amount of goods to be shipped to Germany. If Germany provides the technology to produce rails, Wang Jiuling can install the rails immediately once the market is on the market. In this way, the construction of the railway will be more than twice as fast. Of course, the trains will still be ordered from Germany.
, Wang Jiuling knows that if you don’t let others make a dime, don’t expect the Germans to produce technology. They might not be willing to produce other things.
I need to talk about your technology specifically because Wang Jiuling does not plan to use traditional sleepers to build the railway, but to use reinforced concrete sleepers. If the railway is to be repaired, it is natural to use good cement, and the best cement must be used.
Otherwise, when the weather is cold and icy, these cement sleepers will be frozen, but there will be a car accident. Wang Jiuling cried for a while, thinking that the cement sleepers will last longer.
The Germans were also moved, and at the same time they had to admire Wang Jiuling's imagination. He even thought of a way to build railways with cement sleepers. However, the Germans thought that they could also use cement sleepers in their own country. Maybe they could try it here first.
