Chapter 36 The Su family is invited

When there were still five days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, the two old man Fang stepped on the train back to Qinxi Province, here, Bai Ping Bailin and others sent the old man to the car, and in Fengyuan, Fang Mingyuan's second uncle would come to pick up the car. Although the second elder is gone, but. Old Man Fang, who had full trust in his grandson's vision, left Fang Mingyuan a huge sum of two hundred yuan, but even Bai Ping didn't know about this money

The second elder left, but Su Aijun came to the door. Fang Mingyuan, who had just returned home from the station, saw Su Aijun talking to his aunt in the house at a glance. "Huh? Uncle Sue, why are you here? ”

Su Aijun hurriedly stood up and greeted Bai Ping and Bai Lin. Although Bai Lin didn't know him, they heard that he was a teacher at Fengyuan Jiaotong University, so they naturally became a little closer to each other - at that time, the university teacher was not as good as selling tea and eggs as he was later. People who have just survived the catastrophe still have a great deal of respect for the intellectuals in the universities. And Su Aijun's temperament doesn't look like an ordinary person.

"Xiao Mingyuan, how many days have you been back in the capital, and if you don't come to your uncle's house to play, your uncle can only come to see you!" Su Aijun smiled. The conversation between him and Fang Mingyuan on the train had been completely recorded and handed over to Su Huandong, and the more Su Huandong looked at it, the more he felt that although it was a fairy tale, it made a lot of sense. For Fang Mingyuan, the interest became stronger and stronger. As the director of the Jihua Development Department of the Ministry of Railways, he naturally cannot be like ordinary people, it is difficult to know the economic situation of Shijie today, as long as he pays a little attention to the Ministry of Railways, he can naturally learn through various channels that France and Germany, which are far away in Europe, and Japan, which is close to each other, are developing high-speed railways, and they have achieved great results.

For example, Japan's Shinkansen was the first Tokaido Shinkansen connecting Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, and began operation on October 1, 1964, and was the first passenger-carrying high-speed rail system in Shijie. The Shinkansen is the only high-speed rail system suitable for mass transportation thanks to Japan's good electric power jishu, which can shorten the distance between trains to 5 minutes. In the years since it was opened to traffic, there has never been a fatal accident due to human factors, so it is known as one of the safest high-speed railways in the world. And because it fully adopts a power distributed design, the Shinkansen is also one of the smoothest trains on the shijie.

From the process of Japan's economic development, it is not difficult to see the important role played by the Shinkansen in Japan's rapid development after the war.

The Tokaido Shinkansen, which began to operate at the time of the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, required a huge investment of hundreds of billions of yen, but also a multifaceted jishu development to ensure the safety of high-speed operation of 200 kilometers per hour. As a result, it has greatly promoted the rapid development of metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, electronics, civil engineering and related service industries in Japan. Since the Shinkansen can organically connect the industrial and commercial areas of Keihin, Nakakyo, and Hanshin, as well as the intermediate cities in four hours, the environment for the circulation of people and goods has been greatly improved, and the formation of new industries along the Shinkansen has been greatly promoted. It has made the local national economy obviously rise by more than one step. It is for this reason that the Japanese government began planning the construction of the Shinkansen to Kyushu shortly after the completion of the Tokaido Shinkansen.

After the Shinkansen was further extended from Osaka to Kyushu in 1975, the industrial layout of the areas along the route changed rapidly, and processing industries such as automobiles, electromechanicals, and household appliances, as well as cutting-edge industries such as integrated circuits, gradually replaced traditional industries such as steel and petrochemicals, and promoted the adjustment of Japan's industrial structure. After the Tohoku Shinkansen to Sendai and Iwate began operation in 1982, the population and businesses in the cities along the route increased by 30 percent and 45 percent, respectively, and local government revenues increased significantly. In addition, with the formation of the Shinkansen transportation network, the range of people's activities has expanded, cultural exchanges between different regions have become more active, and people's quality of life has also improved significantly. For example, people living in Shizuoka and other places who want to see the traditional art of Kabuki or Bunraku have to go to Tokyo or Osaka, which used to take two days, but now they can go back and forth on the same day.

The construction of the Shinkansen not only led to the development of related industries such as Japanese local wood construction, raw materials, and machinery manufacturing, but more importantly, it promoted the flow of people, accelerated and expanded the dissemination of information, knowledge, and jishu, thereby driving local economic development and narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas. According to the survey, the Tokaido Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen alone carry about 200 million passengers a year, and the resulting consumer expenditure on accommodation, transportation, and tourism is about 7 trillion yen, and nearly one million people are employed. And so on and so forth, and the benefits that have been brought by this are simply incalculable for a while.

From these materials, it is not difficult for Su Huandong to think of a series of benefits to the country if the train can be greatly accelerated. It not only accelerates the flow of people and materials in China, but also contributes to the rapid development of many industries. Of course, he will not forget to mention in the report that the speed of the railway will bring a significant increase in the country's military strength.

In 1980, our army carried out the sixth major disarmament after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In March of that year, the State Military Commission decided to once again streamline and reorganize the armed forces, vigorously streamlining its organs, reducing the number of non-combatants and support units, and transferring some units to the localities. In September 1982, our army carried out the seventh major disarmament. More than 500,000 railway soldiers and infrastructure engineering troops have been collectively transferred to the Ministry of Railways and various ministries and commissions of the state to which they were originally attached, or to the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and some units have also been transferred to the armed police force. Since then, the two arms of the railway corps and the infrastructure engineering corps have disappeared from the sequence of our army.

And he also knows that the CMC is still preparing for the next large-scale disarmament. Today, when the number of armed forces has been greatly reduced, how to quickly mobilize the armed forces across the vast territory to better safeguard national security is undoubtedly a major matter that the national leadership is constantly worried about. Increasing the speed of railway transportation and thus speeding up the mobilization of troops on national territory can undoubtedly alleviate the tremendous pressure on national defense after the number of troops is reduced. For this reason alone, I believe that my report will be highly valued by the upper echelons.

Although it is said that the jishu of this Shinkansen high-speed railway, Huaxia has not yet mastered it, but since he has seen its advantages, then he will concentrate on the country's scientific research, Su Huandong firmly believes that it will be able to develop it - the atomic bomb has still been built, let alone it! Moreover, at present, it is not to build a high-speed railway, but only to renovate the existing railway, how can the amount of investment and the difficulty of research and development be the same? Su Huandong believes that this is definitely a project with little investment, quick results, and very rich returns! After all, compared with foreign railways, the current speed of China's railways is only forty or fifty kilometers per hour, which is a small base, and it is naturally easy to improve!

And from another point of view, once the state approves this research and development project, then he, the initiator, will inevitably enter the field of vision of the country's senior leaders, which is tantamount to a new peak for his career. Why wouldn't he be happy with such the best of both worlds? So since he got the report written by Su Aijun, he discarded the original manuscript and started again. After these days, the Jihua book has been roughly completed.

But Su Huandong wanted to keep improving, so he hit Fang Mingyuan's head with the idea. After all, Fang Mingyuan and Su Aijun were just chatting on the train, and if Fang Mingyuan didn't have any whimsical ideas, wouldn't he miss a great opportunity. So he ordered his son to come to the door, and he must make an appointment with Fang Mingyuan to meet this child.

After Su Aijun and Fang Mingyuan chatted a few words, they proposed to invite Fang Mingyuan to play in their own house, Bai Lin and Bai Ping looked at each other, after all, they had known each other for a short time, and they didn't know where the other party's family lived, and they didn't know who was in the family, let alone know, so let a seven-year-old child follow him, no one was at ease.

Su Aijun naturally understood their concerns, so he simply invited Bai Lin and Bai Ping together. In the end, it was decided that Bai Lin would accompany Fang Mingyuan together.

However, as soon as they got out of the alley, Bai Lin and Fang Mingyuan were taken aback!

PS: I was temporarily called to the hospital in the morning, and I came back at dinner, and I missed the update, so it's no wonder that everyone. There is another chapter, which is estimated to be after midnight, and you can read it again tomorrow.
