"Woo woo ......" In a loud whistle, a green train started slowly, and soon it was speeding quickly on the railway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is Somalia's first railway, one of the 'Great Triangle Railway' that began construction early last year, and the railway line from Mogadishu to the Aviation Industrial Park was finally completed at the beginning of this year after tens of thousands of railway workers worked around the clock.
Today is the first train from Mogadishu to Baidoa, and it is not an ordinary train for passenger and freight transport, but a special train, belonging to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces.
Li Mo was sitting in the spacious special train at the moment, and the secretary Fan Qingqing was sorting out the information on the side.
"Qingqing, sitting on this train, how can I always have a different feeling in my heart." Li Mo opened the curtains, looked at the fleeting scenery outside, and couldn't help but say with emotion.
Fan Qingqing covered her mouth and giggled, and replied, "In the past, when I took a train in China, I regarded myself as an ordinary passenger, spending money to buy a ticket and taking a train to reach my destination, but as for the railway and train, it has nothing to do with me." But here, this railway line was personally ordered and supervised by you, just like your own child, so that Somalia can get rid of the hat of zero railway, and of course you will have a sense of accomplishment. ”
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, and he felt right when he thought about it. Riding a train as an ordinary passenger is not the same as riding a train with someone who played a role in the construction of the railway.
"With this railway, the economy of southern Somalia has really come back to life." Li Mo glanced at the desolate scenery outside the window again and sighed, then lowered the curtains.
The distance from Mogadishu to Baidoa is 370 kilometers, before the completion of the railway, only by plane or road between the two places, by car, it is good to be able to walk 60 or 70 kilometers in an hour, now with the railway, not only the volume of transportation is larger, but also faster, although the railway is just an ordinary electrified railway, but because the south of Somalia is a plain area, the terrain advantage makes the train can easily exceed the speed of 100 kilometers per hour. It used to take six or seven hours to arrive, but now it only takes more than two hours, saving a lot of time for people traveling between the two places.
This is still the advantage of ordinary passenger transportation, if you count the freight of many factories and enterprises stationed in the aviation industrial park, with this railway line, the production costs of many factories can be reduced, not only to reduce the transportation costs, but also to reduce the transportation time.
Politically, with the completion of this railway, the prestige of the political axe among the people has also increased, so that a country can be built from nothing in a favorable way, which will inevitably be remembered by the people.
As for the military, the role of the railway line is even more obvious. Southwest Somalia, an area with very prominent border disputes, and relations with Kenya and Ethiopia are not very good, with this railway line, the army can be calmly and quickly mobilized to support the needs of the country at any time to protect the country's national defense and security.
Li Mo also plans to establish a nationwide railway network when the economic conditions are right in the future. Even in the mountainous areas of northeastern Somalia, it is necessary to connect by rail. Only in this way can a country's national defense security and social stability be most guaranteed.
At the Baidoa Aviation Industrial Park, Li Mo came directly to the general manager's office of the airline. Colonel An Li, the general manager of the airline, and Abic, the director of the scientific research department, who had already received Li Mo's notice, were waiting here.
"This time, I came to see the development of the industrial park, especially the work of the scientific research department, and secondly, to test the opening of the railway. Now that the second point has been completed, the main point is the first point, which is the progress of the work of the two of you. Li Mo, who was sitting directly on An Li's office chair, said to the two with a smile.
Xingchen Group Aviation Industrial Park is the place where Li Mo is finally located. In addition to handling some international affairs on behalf of the Somali military, Li Mo's work in the internal army is only handled by him, the deputy commander-in-chief. Other trivial matters are naturally decided by a bunch of sub-military department chiefs.
And in normal times, Li Mo is most in charge of the Xingchen Group, just like the tens of thousands of Somali defense forces, which is also the foundation of his survival.
A gun, a money bag. And this money bag is extraordinary, it is an important part of strengthening the power of the gun.
In Li Mo's long-term plan, the Somali Defense Force is to build up the air force, build the army along the elite route, and maintain a small navy. Therefore, Li Mo attaches the most importance to airlines and scientific research departments.
An Li and Abic immediately reported their respective work to the two, mainly Abic. An Li is the general manager, and she is only responsible for the overall work such as the planning and improvement of the industrial park, as well as the production work of the airline's production department. After all, the industrial park has not been established for a long time, many tasks have just entered the right track, and many achievements have not yet been achieved and completed. Unlike scientific research departments, there may be technological breakthroughs every day, and the significance of each technological breakthrough is very significant.
In the scientific research department, there are several fields that are the strongest, such as the field of materials, especially alloy materials, Xingchen Group is almost at the forefront of the world. In order to fill the gap in the field of electronics of Xingchen Group, Li Mo deliberately introduced many foreign electronic businesses, and even the electronic enterprises he hated the most did not let go. The third field with strong technology is the field of mechanical power, mainly the research of gasoline engines, diesel engines and aero engines.
Abic's report was very cumbersome, many of them were professional and technical words, and others who listened to it were dizzy, but fortunately, Li Mo still understood a lot, especially the achievements in technological breakthroughs in some research fields, which made Li Mo very satisfied.
"Abik, first of all, I am very satisfied with the work of the scientific research department, after I go back, I will be based on everyone's performance, let the group headquarters and the national defense force give everyone the rewards they deserve, I have said this a long time ago, the main thing is that you have the ability to make achievements, I will not be stingy, no matter what you want, as long as I can do it, I will be as satisfied as possible, so for those technical experts who have real talents, An Li and you Minister Abic, we must do a good job in their logistics work, and we must do a good job as a logistics minister, To meet the needs of technical experts in life and other aspects, so that they can concentrate on doing a good job in research without worries. Li Mo first affirmed the work achievements of the two, and then changed the conversation.
"This time, when I heard about the achievements of the scientific research department, I suddenly had an idea, and the two of you will also discuss it. In the past, we mainly indulged those experts in the scientific research department to independently research and develop their own research and development in combination with their own research topics, and only after we achieved results did we take them out and apply them to military production, which I think is a waste for those technical experts and Xingchen Group. I think that after this period of technology accumulation, we already have a group of scientists and engineers, and there is no longer a need to use a research topic to disperse the use of those technicians, we should do the same as other countries, do a good job of a large overall planning, so that all departments have a purposeful participation. ”
Li Mo's words, An Li and Abic both understood. For example, in the past, the technical experts under the scientific research department were divided into separate fields for research. For example, several materials science experts form a research team to study ultra-hardness aluminum alloys, and after the research is completed, it will be reported to the scientific research department, and the scientific research department will share this achievement according to the needs of other research topics.
Now, however, Li Mo intends to include all the technical experts in one research project. For example, if you want to design a fighter jet, you need to gather experts in the fields of aerodynamics, materials, electronics, chemical industry and so on to study and tackle key problems for the needs of this fighter. Instead of studying an alloy suitable for aircraft use today, preserving it, and tomorrow a breakthrough in radar technology was made, preserving it again, and accumulating step by step until it was possible to design an aircraft before launching the aircraft project.
"Hehe, I think the two of you have already thought of it. I now want to put more burden on the research department and the airlines, and also save a lot of unnecessary waste in research. Abik, when you go back later, you will organize a group of aviation experts, and I will go back to the air force, and everyone will hold a meeting to discuss and come up with a plan to develop an aircraft that meets the needs of Somalia and the international arms market and will not exceed the capabilities of the scientific research department. Just as we did in the first place when we developed the 'Defender' tank, this time we will give priority to all aspects of this plan, asking for people, money for money, and things for things. In a word, how long will you have to come up with a viable product to meet the needs of the Wehrmacht, and also to supply and export. The combination of the two is the road for the future development of Xingchen Group. What do you think? Do you have any difficulties? ”
In fact, this plan, in Li Mo's mind, has been there for a long time, and it is not that he has not thought about it carefully, but that he has considered it. Because the family background of Xingchen Group is too thin. Not to mention the financial difficulties, the design, research and production of any aircraft is a huge amount, that is, technically, it cannot be satisfied at all.
The new design of an aircraft, judging from the several requirements put forward by Li Mo, is definitely not a casual design, at least two points must be met, one is the needs of the national defense force, and the other is that there is an international market. These two points are not simple. At the very least, this aircraft must reach the level of third-generation fighters, otherwise you develop a MiG-15 and sell it to whom?
The third-generation fighter is a huge technical integration of a system, which requires a complete industrial system, strong technical strength and an experienced design team. These three points guarantee that the development of new aircraft will not be an empty word. However, for the current Xingchen Group, these three requirements are not so easy to meet, first and last, the experienced design team, Xingchen Group has only designed one aircraft - the Golden Eagle attack aircraft, or a piston propeller aircraft, which is still many differences from modern jet fighters. Fortunately, Li Mo has received the support of the military group in Ukraine, and has recently dug up a lot of aviation-related talents. A number of giants in the aviation field, such as the Ukrainian Zaporizhzh 'Progressive' Machine-Building Bureau and the Antonov Design Bureau, have also attracted many relevant experts to work for the Xingchen Group by virtue of the relationship between the Ukrainian military group and Li Mo's large sum of dollars.
