Chapter 233: The Road Repair of the Pit President

March 2006. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

Blagoveshchensk, also known as Hailan Bubble, is the capital of the Amur Region of Russia and the third largest city in the Russian Far East, located on the opposite bank of the city of Heihe in the Black Province.

It is said to be the third largest city in the Far East, but in fact it is about the same size as a county town in China.

In March, the Far East can be said to be still icy and snowy.

At this time, on the avenue outside the hotel, a group of old hairy people dressed like bears were holding signs and demonstrating.

"We're going to cut the price!"

"We're going to build roads!"

“......”

Qi Zheng looked at the crowd in the distance from the window, glanced back at Zhang Zehong, who was not surprised, and asked, "There are often demonstrations here?"

Zhang Zehong shrugged, "It's not often, it's just that there are some failures on the railway to this side this winter, and a large number of daily necessities have not been delivered in time. ”

Qi Zheng frowned: "What are the transportation conditions in the Far East?"

In the Far East, everything is practically frozen about temperature, and transportation is the most closely related to them.

If Jiagu is investing in agriculture here, transportation is an issue that has to be paid attention to.

Faced with this problem, the corners of Zhang Zehong's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "If the total transportation volume is 100, then the railway transportation in the Far East is 23, the ocean transportation is 4, the inland river is 2, the pipeline is 1, and the automobile transportation is 70." ”

"Transport is concentrated in the southern part of the Far East, accounting for 75 percent of the region's freight traffic and 90 percent of the inter-regional freight volume, because there are railways and roads that can be used all year round, and although the roads may swallow up cars in the spring, they can run anyway. ”

"As for the railway, because the railway has only a single line, the transportation capacity is very low, and the railway is a ...... of unscrupulous deception."

Zhang Zehong had been hanging out with the children of the officials of the Far Eastern Federal District, and he knew a lot of "anecdotes" about the Trans-Siberian Railway from them. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net

As we all know, Putin took over the Yeltsin era of Russia after the so-called shock therapy, and he is basically going to shock.

But Putin's luck is quite good, after he came to power, the price of oil began to soar, and Russia, which relied on selling resources to make a living, was milked, and the resurrected Putin was able to quickly solve the problems of the Eastern European region.

After all, Eastern Europe is the core region of Russia, and the federal government has enough control, but it has no control over the Far East.

Russia's territory is supposed to be a joint development of the East and the West, but there is a vast Siberian forest in the Far East and Eastern Europe. There is hardly anything in the middle of this permafrost that can connect the two regions between the east and the west, so the economic exchange between the east and the west is extremely difficult.

So, in the Soviet era, Stalin, a relatively poisonous guy, launched "voluntary labor" throughout Siberia, built railways and roads, and pulled the ties between the Far East and Eastern Europe.

Decades later, for the wise and great, great and correct Putin, he also encountered an egg pain.

Because this old railway and road has not been maintained for more than 20 years, if this link is lost, the integration of the Far East into the East Asian economic circle will be inevitable, and the east-west differentiation will further exacerbate the loss of local people. If there is no further containment, then once there is a Far East without Russians, then everything will be irretrievable.

Putin began to ponder...... How this headache for the Far East should be solved.

They made two plans to rebuild the Siberian railway and road network, and at the same time to strengthen trade in the Far East, but beware of the Chinese. This started the take-off ...... No, it's the road to being pitted.

"In 2000, the Trans-Siberian Railway's transport speed fell below 45 km/h and is falling further. But because the Russian railways have been completely privatized, the money is too big for the Russian Railways, and it will be used for a while. Zhang Zehong said with a smile.

"By this year, the railway has been reduced to about 30 kilometers per hour. With the support of the Government of the Russian Federation, the railway company is said to be applying for a loan and has decided to spend 23 billion rubles to renovate the railways in the six sections of the Trans-Siberian Railway. This 'huge amount' is equivalent to about 2.9 billion yuan!" Zhang Zehong said with a smile in his eyes.

"Uh...... 2.9 billion?" Qi Zheng was stunned.

"That's right!" Zhang Zehong couldn't help laughing.

Qi Zheng thinks that Lao Maozi is here to be funny.

He doesn't know about railroad maintenance, but he can do arithmetic. 2.9 billion yuan to renovate a railway of nearly 10,000 kilometers, with an average renovation cost of 30,000 yuan per kilometer...... To tell the truth, it is to renovate the asphalt road, and this money is all sprinkling salt, not to mention the alpine railway.

Taking the Qinghai-Tibet Railway as an example, it is said that the cost per kilometer is 30 million yuan, that is, 2.9 billion yuan, and if it is handed over to the Chinese to repair, it can only be repaired 100 kilometers.

I can't grasp the things that the infrastructure madness is sure of, but Lao Maozi dares to think about it, it is indeed quite bullish.

Speaking of this, Qi Zheng suddenly remembered a joke he had seen in his previous life, "Ah Sange repairs aircraft carriers, and Lao Maozi repairs railways." "It seems to have something to do with that.

It is said that a few years after the proposal to renovate the railway...... The Trans-Siberian Railway, which was running at a speed of 95 kilometers per hour, was destroyed.

The average pedestrian walking speed is about 6 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the Siberian railway can compete with the walking speed of the old man, because the young man may walk faster than it.

Lao Maozi told us with iron-like facts that that money can't be done at all, and it is purely an act of cheating money.

Putin is really going to vomit blood...... It was completely forced by those dogs, and you have to say that the money was used to build the railway, and the railroad was repaired from bicycle speed to walking speed. Dare to say that it cost money, and the ghost believes it.

Of course, the coaxing Putin is completely unwilling to admit defeat, because ...... He also has a second trick, to develop the economy and trade of the Far East and retain the population!

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is too skinny.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is true everywhere.

The main national highways in the Russian Far East are already rotten and must be renovated, right? If they are not repaired, the Primorsky Krai, Amur, Khabarovsk Krai, and other areas close to China can still be maintained to a certain extent, but in the Siberian region, Yakutia, Evenki, and so on, will really become invisible......

As a last resort, Putin has no choice but to urge the railway issue and at the same time solve the problem of highways in the Siberian region.

As a result, the road was built even more badly!

After Putin allocated funds to build the road, the Far East gang of people broke all the roads, and then told the emperor...... Not enough money!

It is better not to repair it, because before the roads in Siberia were slower, at least they could run freight. The key is that although Russia's economy has been improving, it can't withstand such a toss.

can pit the president of a country unwanted, this group of undisciplined old hairmen in the Far East, Qi Zheng is also quite admired.

But after admiring it, Qi Zheng was a little worried.

When it's not about you, you can watch it as a joke, but if Jiagu really wants to plant soybeans in the Far East enclosure, soybeans are bulk cargo transportation, and Qi Zheng can't laugh in the face of this group of unreliable cheating goods in the Far East.

First of all, Russian Railways is privately owned, so it will give priority to the goods of their trading companies, which is a bit similar to the situation in China, and the wagons are not so easy to obtain.

As for car transport, road freight in Russia is not cheap, because to some extent, Russia's railway monopoly has also given rise to the monopoly of bulk trading companies on the exchange of goods between the two places.

Zhang Zehong saw Qi Zheng's solemn face, and after knowing Qi Zheng's worries, he blinked lightly and said, "In the magical land of the Far East, if you want to develop, you can't follow normal ideas. In this way, I will first take you to meet our collaborators, who are also our local umbrellas......"
