Chapter 80: Railways (3)

Although the war room still left a strange smell.。。 But... Yu Ling believes that his soldiers will not doubt it... It should be...

After dispatching nearly half of the intelligence personnel, Yu Ling was pacing back and forth in the intelligence center... But ZQ is really far from Chengdu... Even if there is information ... You'll have to wait until the next or third day.

Yu Ling has great expectations for the Sichuan-Han Railway Company. If we can get enough steel plants, there will be no problems with the construction of the railway.

But I really can't hope for anything other than myself.。。

After three days of waiting, Yu Ling finally got a complete assessment of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company... Overall, it's completely bad news.

The company did not have a steel plant, and all the rails were shipped from the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, or imported from Britain and Germany... No wonder 17 million taels can only be built in one-sixth... The rain spirit was still strange before... If it's a self-produced rail... It doesn't cost that much at all...

"In that case, there is no point in swallowing them... Tsk, 17 million taels of funds, the best railway engineering team in China... It's really a little unwilling... Alas... Let's go with them and develop our steel industry. ”

Yang Tian let out a long sigh, Yu Ling could only shake his head helplessly, things in the world don't always come along with him.

"Didn't you just take them away? Cut~"

This violent guy is also a bit of a headache, even if the system is turned off, at least you should think rationally.

"It's stupid to clash with them before the military logistics system is perfect." Yu Ling rubbed her eyes a little sour, and after reading the whole report, she was still a little tired.

"However, speaking of which... What is the probability that we will interfere with the railways in this way, and cause the road protection movement in advance? ”

In the past three days, she has read the information in the database about this aspect and roughly sorted out the matter of the road protection movement.

If the construction of the railway starts now, even if Yuling's steel plant cooperates with the Sichuan-Han Railway to save their track costs, the current funds of the Sichuan-Han Railway can build up to a quarter of the entire line... At most, the funds of the Sichuan-Han Railway were exhausted, and then, the imperial court took back the right to the railway. The pro-road movement broke out.

When the Qing government runs out of funds for the Sichuan-Han Railway, it will definitely make the most correct choice as a government, and this will directly lead to the outbreak of the road protection movement, and the only thing that can delay this matter is to let the funds of the Sichuan-Han Railway not run out so quickly, but this is inconsistent with Yuling's strategy of building the railway quickly... It's a really nasty relationship.。。

"About 80 percent."

Although I had expected that the probability would be very large, I didn't expect that there would be such a big chance.

"No kidding, how can there be such a big chance... If the road protection movement had been advanced, the League would have launched a revolution immediately, and the support of the RB people is now much stronger than in history, and the revolution will definitely not drag on as it did in history.

Once the League will launch a revolution, the era of warlord scuffle will come, and the time will come...

"Are you scared?"

Clea glanced at the rain spirit, apparently sensing that the rain spirit was a little resistant to this matter.

"Scared? Perhaps, the database shows that from 1895 to this year, the HB Arsenal (Hanyang Arsenal) produced 130,000 imitation 1888 commission rifles, and the artillery in each town was also at full capacity... ”

Each town has 54 guns to retreat, which is in the leading position in the whole of Asia, and if you do not consider other reasons such as national strength, logistics, etc., it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the six towns in Beiyang is even higher than that of the Japanese army.

"Don't think about it so much, let's do our things well now, it won't be long before we have an absolute advantage."

Sitting on the technology that is ten years more advanced than now, Claya doesn't think that in another year or two, it is necessary to be afraid of the Beiyang, the Beiyang Army, all the reliance is on the Hanyang Arsenal, HB... It's so close to SC~

"I hope so...

Although she understands this, Yu Ling is still a little uneasy, she has always trusted her instincts, but this time... I hope it's been too much.

"The rifle inventory is only more than 5,000, if the alloy furnace is stopped, to the second round of expansion in the summer, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, so all the steel industry needed for the rails will be expanded near the sixth branch of ZQ, and the sixth branch will be divided under the Yushi Railway Company, which will be established soon, and the railway will be laid directly from the side of the steel industrial zone. What do you think? ”

"Okay, you continue."

"Well, you can help me quickly make a preparation plan for the Yupan Line and the Yuguang Line, so that there will be no delay in time. When I get back, I'll be pretty much ready. ”

The Chengdu-Chongqing line is in the plan of the Sichuan-Han Railway, and this can be discussed with the Sichuan-Han Railway Company. . . Now it is necessary to make every effort to repair the most economical lines. also

In fact, there is also the Yugui line that Yuling regards as the top priority, the construction of GZ is very difficult, about this line, you must talk in detail with Zhan Tianyou, a master of railway engineering. I don't prepare in advance.

"There is also the problem of funds, the total capital of the two lines of Chongqing-Chongqing-Guangzhou needs about 22 million taels, the construction period is about five years, divided into more than 4 million taels per year, and the kind of difficult project of the Chongqing-Guizhou line, it is estimated that the total funds need more than 50 million taels, the construction period is about seven years, and you need to invest 12 million taels every year, and your profit is 17 million taels. Funds are tight. ”

Heavy industries such as military factories, chemical plants, machinery factories, and iron and steel factories all need to continue to develop, as well as agriculture, light industry, and mining, which are indispensable, all need money... Private funding for the construction of national projects... It's hard to imagine how difficult it is.

But now, the profit of matches is basically going to be maximized, and the expansion of the textile mill will cause an economic crisis in the SC area...

"Come back and discuss this issue, now you can make a plan for the two lines first, and I will go to Chengdu as soon as possible."

I can't think of any good way to do it now, so it's wiser to let go of this headache first.

PS: Will be supplemented... There are a lot of classes these days.。。 I'm sorry..
