This was an era in which communication technology and information technology were still relatively backward.

The relatively closed topography and landform of the western region and the relatively conservative and closed social and cultural environment have built a natural barrier for Yang Weiping's western strategy.

This barrier can completely block out some degenerate and decadent dregs and ideas that have poured into the eastern coastal provinces in the process of reform and opening up.

Carrying forward the spirit of the construction of the third line is the only slogan put forward in the large-scale development of the western region.

In the western region, in response to the construction of the third front proposed by the great grandfather, the Supreme Instruction of the Strategic Shortage was prepared, and thousands upon thousands of workers, students, educated youths, intellectuals, and PLA officers and soldiers from all parts of the country were gathered.

They dedicated all their youth and blood to the third-line construction, but in the wave of reform and opening up, they were eliminated by the trend of the times because they could not adapt to the great changes outside, and gradually became the poorest and most vulnerable group at the lowest level of society.

Many former scientific research institutions, colleges and universities, state-owned factories, and top-secret projects have been forgotten and deserted, and have become overgrown with weeds and infested with foxtails.

Now, in the large-scale development of the western region promoted by Yang Weiping with all his might, all the third-line builders, including the local residents and party members and cadres in the western region, have regained more enthusiasm and vitality than when they were building the third-line project.

Of the 370,000 railway soldiers, nearly 300,000 officers and men are now fighting at the construction sites of the first-line railway and highway transportation projects in the large-scale development of the western region. In Chongyu, the General Headquarters for the Development of the Western Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Railway Corps was established, which was under the command of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

The railway corps, an engineering and technical arm of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army, includes railways, tunnels, bridges, construction, boats and bridges, communications, engineering and other units, and it is responsible for engineering support tasks.

In wartime, it undertakes the task of emergency repair and construction of railways in the theater of operations, and ensures the mobility of the army and the transportation of combat materials. Mainly participate in the construction of national railways.

From the formation of the railway column by the People's Liberation Army in 1948 to today, Yang Weiping will never let this heroic meritorious unit that has made immortal achievements in the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the War to Resist US Aggression in Vietnam, and the construction of the main railway artery of the Republic. He wanted to continue to carry forward the spirit of the railroad soldiers and reshape the honor and glory of the railroad soldiers in the vast project of China's economic construction.

The heroic Chinese railway soldiers, they will create a miracle in the history of human railways on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is known as the roof of the world. Build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway!

The large-scale development of the western region is undoubtedly a huge gold-swallowing monster.

Under the premise that the central government only gives policy support and does not provide too much financial support. Of course, Yang Weiping would not expect to be able to eat a big fat man.

Since the launch of the large-scale development of the western region in 1979, Yang Weiping has made four five-year development plans with a clear mind, while managing and developing the people's livelihood economy and industry in the western region and improving the material living standards, and at the same time reinvesting the economic benefits generated into infrastructure construction.

With Fangcheng-Beibu Gulf as the estuary in Gui Province, and the mineral resources of the Indochinese Peninsula bordering Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces, Yang Weiping does not have to pay much attention to the eastern coastal areas at all.

Take advantage of the fact that the southeastern coastal provinces do not pay attention to educational resources and investment. Yang Weiping waved the order of the Department of Education in his hand to transfer a large number of outstanding teachers to the colleges and universities under construction in Chongqing University Town, Mingkun University Town, and Lanzhou University Town.

At the same time, with the help of the construction of railways and highways to develop the resources of the areas along the route, the residents of the remote and impoverished mountainous areas in the northwest and southwest will be relocated in an organized and planned manner. Emigration to the plains under the jurisdiction of Annam, Laos, and Indochina in Cambodia.

When he stepped down as chairman of the State Development Planning Commission, Yang Weiping's multi-faceted arrangements for the large-scale development of the western region were gradually completed, and the adjustment of the industrial structure was basically smoothly formed.

At a time when the southeast coastal areas are desperately producing low-end household appliances such as black-and-white TVs, dual-card recorders, and electric fans, Changhong Electronics Group, Chunlan Electronics Group, and Haier Electronics Collector in the western region have launched high-end electronic products such as plane right-angle large-screen color televisions, Chinese character pagers, video cameras, karaoke audio, walkmans, automatic washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, program-controlled telephone exchanges, and GSM digital mobile phones.

With the network distribution and operation of Chinese wireless paging stations and repeater stations in first- and second-tier cities across the country, GSM digital mobile communication networks have also begun to take shape quietly in major first-tier cities in mainland China.

As early as the beginning of 1977, Yang Weiping gave the Swiss Tiangong Laboratory an instruction to develop GSM digital mobile phones, and after three years, a huge research fund of nearly 500 million US dollars was invested, and the first generation of GSM communication systems and standards were finally successfully developed and formulated by the Swiss Tiangong Laboratory.

At present, several analogue cellular mobile systems are in operation in Europe, such as NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephony) in many Nordic countries and TACS (Full Access Communication System) in the United Kingdom, and mobile services are also available in other countries in Western Europe. But these systems are domestic and cannot be used abroad.

The GSM mobile communication standard and system developed by the Swiss Tiangong Laboratory are now taking a wait-and-see attitude in the Nordic and Western European countries. In this regard, Yang Weiping does not plan to spend time and energy on public relations, he only needs to make the system successfully operate in China, and at that time, he does not need to say any hello to the CEPT (European Postal and Telecommunications Administration), they will also take the initiative to come to the door.

Yang Weiping's concept was deeply recognized by the elder field.

Although Grand Duke Field acknowledges that this kind of digital mobile communication is much better than the analog cellular networks that are prevalent in Europe, he is also well aware that it will be difficult to change the mindset of cellular mobile operators such as NMT and TACS to accept GSM systems.

Since there is such a huge market as Huaxia Continent, where mobile communication operations are completely blank, there is really no need to waste huge sums of money on advertising in Europe.

March 1, 1980, the Lunar Lantern Festival.

Next to the State Administration of Posts and Telecommunications in Beijing, the Huaxia Mobile Communications Company, which has just been completed for less than two months, beats gongs and drums, and colorful flags flutter.

The exterior walls of the 15-storey mobile communications building are covered with 30-meter-long bright red greeting banners.

"Congratulations on the commissioning of the world's first GSM digital mobile communication network!" is the congratulatory message displayed on all banners.

However, the inscription of each banner is different.

There are congratulations from the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the State Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, Tiangong International Group, Field, Swiss Tiangong Laboratory, UBS, JPMorgan Bank, Bank of England, Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong Giant International Group, Red House Business Club, Siemens Group, Mercedes, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce, and Hong Kong...... and more than 100 different units, individuals and international consortia and multinational corporations.

At 9:19 a.m., in the spacious and bright lobby of the Huaxia Mobile Communications Company, nearly 300 reporters from all over the world sat or stood quietly, and all eyes were focused on a small and delicate electronic product on the stage that they had never seen before.

It is said that this is a mobile phone developed by Tiangong Mobile Communication Electronics Company, but the reporters at the scene are skeptical.

Can such a small mobile phone work? It's much smaller than the cellular mobile phones that are being used in Europe and the United States. (Refer to Nokia 8210)

"Ringing Bell Bell ......" The mobile phone, which was originally lying quietly on a delicate silver plate of red silk, was ringing and gently turning because of the buzzing vibration.

In the focus of all the cameras and camera lenses at the scene, Yang Weiping, dressed in a black Tang suit, calmly walked out of the backstage of the curtain of the rostrum, and slowly walked to the front of the glass round table with silver plates and mobile phones in Taichung.

Yang Weiping picked up the Tiangong 900 mobile phone with a smile, pressed the answer button, and sent the mobile phone to the microphone close to the microphone on the stage.

"Yang, can you hear me? Is the signal clear? I'm Hughsfield, and I'm in Hong Kong. ”

Through the speakers placed around the lobby, everyone in the audience heard the clear sound of the call coming from this small and delicate mobile phone.

Yang Weiping lowered his head and said loudly into the mobile phone: "Field, I am Yang Weiping, the signal is very clear, I am now at the Tiangong 900 mobile phone product release press conference in Beijing." ”

At the same time, on the pictures of the two 34CM right-angle large-screen color televisions placed on the stage, through the broadcast signals of the television stations, the images of Yang Weiping and Hughsfield, who were in Hong Kong, appeared at the same time.

At the scene of the call on both sides, there were more than hundreds of journalists from various countries in the world staring at the scene, which reassured everyone that there was no possibility of fake this call.

GSM digital communication systems and mobile phones will inevitably replace all cellular analog signal mobile phones and systems in the world!" Hughsfeld, who was in a suit and leather shoes in the TV painting, was obviously extremely excited and excited.

"Hehe, Field, I have long said that the GSM digital communication system is the development direction of mobile communication technology. We have now told the European Administrative Conference of Posts and Telecommunications, as well as all the cellular mobile operators in the world, that they missed the opportunity to use the GSM digital communication system and mobile phones for the first time on the earth, because this moment will forever be recorded in the history of human communication on the earth, and become eternal!"

In order to further prove that this is not a fraud or a show, Yang Weiping and Hughsfield ended the call, took out 300 Tiangong 900 mobile phones, handed them to the reporters at the scene, and told them the 139XXXXXX global number they dialed.

In this way, the scene is lively.

After dialing the mobile phone numbers in their respective hands, the reporters in Beijing and Hong Kong used more than a dozen different languages to verify the call quality of the GSM digital mobile phone with their counterparts on the other end of the phone. (To be continued.) )
