Chapter 85: The Railroad (7)
The waterway from ZQ to Yichang takes two days, even if Yu Ling is in first class, from the afternoon of the first day, she is extremely irritable.
On the surface of the river, you can clearly see the guards hanging the rice flag in the distance. No, in this era, it should be called a ship of Hanoi gunboats, and this is the culprit that caused the irritability of the eldest lady.
No warship had ever been so close to a passenger ship, and even if it was hundreds of meters away from them, Yu Ling felt that she could smell the arrogance of the British Royal Navy, even if it was a cute frigate (the frigate Purple Quartz (Admiral, can you help me unlock the seal in my left eye)), and the British warship in front of her was very annoying to her.
"I really want to bring 210 planes over, tsk, wait for Zigui or Yichang... These flies, tsk. ”
Yu Ling's eyes looked at the arrogant warship unkindly.
Originally, I thought that for the sake of Liuhua's face, I wouldn't hurt these British ships, but now it seems that these warships really need to be adjusted.
The angles of Zigui and Yichang are very good, if the shore defense artillery is erected, even if it is a 210-mm small-caliber coastal defense gun, there is no need to worry about the warships sailing into the Yangtze River, tsk, the only thing that can pose a threat to the 210 coastal defense guns is the battleship, and the warships that can drive into the Yangtze River will definitely not exceed 5,000 tons.
"Don't look at it, European warships in this era are like this, just look at the point, good~"
Clea rubbed Yu Ling's head very fondly, in fact, in her opinion, these regional conflicts and national spirits of human beings are completely stupid, it is absolutely impossible for there to be only one race of humans in the starry sky, but human beings have always been mobilized by nations, hatreds, national spirits, interests or something, killing each other.
But, after all, it's her.
These mistakes can be corrected slowly in the future. And these are all evolved by human beings over the years, and there is a certain degree of rationality. It's just not reasonable in the next era ... Hey, reasonableness is relative, strictly speaking, nothing is unreasonable, even if it is drugs or the like, you can find rationality in nature, reasonable, it's just that human beings want to believe what they want to believe, they don't care about some laws of nature.
"How do I feel like I'm being treated like a pet by you?" Yu Ling looked at Clea dissatisfied, it really didn't feel good to be treated as a pet, she didn't just want to be a toy.
To this, Clea just replied as a matter of course, "Isn't it? Dear ~~~"
In the past few months, it can be clearly felt that Claya's attitude towards herself has become more and more... I don't know if it's a good thing, well~~ The mood is not so bad.

"Mr. Yan, I am the controlling shareholder of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, Yu Ling. Now, the company has made a decision to change the original plan and give priority to the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing line, please go to Chongqing with us immediately. "It didn't take much effort to find the engineer in Yichang, and he looked quite tired.
But I can't take care of the state of this engineer anymore, and things are quite tight on ZQ's side.
"Are you the controlling shareholder of the company? How do you prove it? Yan Deqing obviously didn't believe that a little girl would be the controlling person of the company, Yu Ling's age did bring quite a lot of problems to herself, but she was prepared for this.
"Mr. Yan, this is the company's power of attorney, although the company did not have this kind of thing before, but you should still know the signatures of these minority shareholders." Yu Ling's hand was waving this power of attorney that was enough for Yan Deqing to obey, and there was the signature of the shareholder, and she was not worried that Yan Deqing would not implement it at all.
"Well, it's hard to believe, but I still believe you. However, here, my job, you know, Mr. Zhan is still waiting for news. He still knows the handwriting of several of the shareholders, and even if the person who took out the power of attorney is a little girl, he must obey, but his job is not only related to the work of the company.
"About the Americans? Tsk, the line along the river can definitely be repaired, you can give the Chinese a sigh of anger, but this is meaningless, within three months, the Chengdu-Chongqing line will start construction, the company has no plans to build this railway for the time being. Of course, Yu Ling knew that Zhan Tianyou wanted to build a railway along the Yangtze River to fight for Chinese railway engineers, but she didn't think that building this railway would do her any good, at least, this year.
If Yu Ling's first half of the sentence just made Yan Deqing a little uncomfortable, then the last "three months" time limit made him feel that Yu Ling was simply unreasonable, "Three months?!" Do you know what you're talking about? The route survey of a railway is not what you think, just build a railway, that will only cause. Yan Deqing shouted angrily, he didn't want a person who didn't understand the railway at all to meddle in his affairs! However, Yu Ling interrupted him directly.
"Waste of resources and money, huh? Ah, the speed of surveying is much faster than the speed of construction, isn't it? I'm ready to build while surveying, so I won't waste money. "The Chengdu-Chongqing line is not like this, you need to choose the riverside line or the mountainous line, and the terrain along the way can still avoid the construction of tunnels and viaducts, so the construction while surveying will not affect the construction of the railway at all.
As for the last section, if you enter the mountainous area of Chongqing, the survey has already been completed by then, so there is no need to worry at all.
After listening, Yan Deqing didn't seem so angry, Yu Ling's plan still sounded quite reasonable.
"Miss Yu, the construction of the railway is not what you imagined, and there are still a lot of cost issues to consider, and the reason why Mr. Zhan suggested building this section of the railway first is also because the rails of the Hanyang Iron Works can be easily transported here." In the whole of China, only the Hanyang Iron Works can produce rails, which is known to the industry, so Yuling's seemingly unflawed plan is still immature in the eyes of Yan Deqing, but is this the case?
"Clams! Clams? Rail? Do you know why I built the Chengdu-Chongqing Line first? Yu Ling pretended to be surprised and asked Yan Deqing, but Yan Deqing obviously couldn't figure out why she reacted this way... Hm~ the bad taste of the traverser.
"My steel plant is in ZQ As for the quality of the rails, you can go and see for yourself, whether you want to use carbon steel or alloy steel, we can produce it, even if it is RB's factory, it is a little worse than ours." The words reveal a confidence that borders on mockery, this is the capital of the rain spirit, the capital that has been able to develop in this crumbling empire.
Yan Deqing's eyes lit up, if what Yu Ling said was true, then...
"Then, Mr. Yan, if you don't have any other questions, please go to ZQ with us, and the first batch of money will be delivered soon."
