Chapter 544: Yesterday Reappears (3)

The black brothers wore dark blue overalls, dark blue soft-brimmed peaked caps, and sweated coal shovels. The coal that was shoveled into the conveyor belt was broken www.biquge.info crushed and crushed into coal particles and pulverized coal. The pulverized coal is sent to the unit inlet of the power plant, where it is blown into the furnace by a large fan to provide heat to the equipment.

This is not in the East African administrative region, but in German-controlled Africa. The history of Germany to Cameroon and Togo is earlier than the arrival of the Republic of China in East Africa. The sultan's alfalfa has become the cash cow of the Minguo Dynasty in a very short time, and the whole of Europe feels that 'you can do it', and the Chinese can run Europe well, why can't we do it?! However, only the rigid Germans were able to persevere, and even without the Germans going through Cameroon, Togo, and Namibia, they discovered iron ore and coal mines. The Germans immediately set to work on these resources.

Cameroon and Togo, both of which were more respectable local lords, had a 'protected' agreement with Germany, and had a relatively civilized social base, and by 1900 the region had its own railway network and agricultural system.

The small train of the steel mill near the port spews smoke, and the carriages are filled with steel rails and sent to the port's freighters. The war in South America was temporarily suspended, and the United States, which moved south, left terrible memories for the South American countries. They had to import large quantities of equipment that would allow them to industrialize faster. The Germans' initial ambitions in Africa led them to build steel mills and related industries in a daze, almost regardless of market availability. Unexpectedly, at a time when the German African colonies no longer needed to continue the construction of railroads, there was a new market for rails. South American countries also have little money, they directly use cheap grain to pay for goods, and Germany, as a grain importing country, can only admit it.

In addition to the steel rails, products from the Krupp Africa Arsenal were also loaded. Rifles, pistols, artillery, as long as they can be exchanged for things, the Germans are no longer picky. The Krupp shipyard also has docks in Africa, where workers are building ships.

The fleet of ships of African origin left the port in two groups, one heading west to South America and the other heading north to Germany. The fleet was laden with rubber, sugar, cocoa, coffee, cotton, palm oil, canned sardines and even paper. When these supplies were not available to Germany, the fleet would fill it with aluminium ingots and rebar for construction as much as possible.

The German central government did not pay money to the colonies for these things that were transported, in the eyes of the Germans, I invested in the factories, I provided the technology, and we even provided the local railway system, social system and education.

Once the fleet reaches the waters north of the Strait of Gibraltar, it will probably encounter huge oil tankers. The ships all entered the Mediterranean Sea through China's New Suez Canal, carrying 20,000 tons of oil and carrying more than 10,000 tons of oil to German docks at a time. Fleets from Africa sometimes unload their cargo at the Port of Hamburg, while others cross the Kiel Canal and unload their cargo at ports in the North Sea.

In 1902, the Kiel Canal began to widen its course. Germans are extremely proud of their Kiel Canal, and when they participated in the Olympic Games, they visited the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with arrogance. After looking at the concrete embankments and dredging dredgers of the Republic of China, the Germans stopped commenting on them. The 98.26-kilometre-long canal had to be dug and widened to a depth of 11 metres to allow for the passage of large ships. The rebar from Africa is unloaded, sampled and sent to the construction site. The fleet waited for a few days, loaded with many household gadgets made in Germany, and then set out on the journey home.

Kaiser Wilhelm II and his court officials knew that German docks in Africa were already capable of producing ships with a displacement of 3,000 tons, but they could not have cared about such a trivial matter as where the ships produced by African shipyards sailed. For example, the German ambassador to the Republic of China said that Yao Bang, the current chairman of the Republic of China, had a good impression of Germany, and it was possible for Germany to visit the new battleships of the Republic of China.

After Germany and the Ottoman Empire got closer, they were finally able to visit the old warships that the Ottoman Empire had purchased from the Republic of China, and those 'old' Chinese warships still gave the German naval engineers a great inspiration.

The other major events are not easy to say, the Austrian government and the Europa Bank of the Republic of China have carried out cooperation negotiations, the two sides in Austria and Croatia joint venture to build an oil refinery, the Middle East oil to Croatia is much closer than to arrive at the German port, the Republic of China's oil refining technology is the best in the world, Austria can completely get rid of the dependence on Germany in oil. Although Germany has always shouted that to get rid of Austria is to get rid of the baggage. However, the 800-year-old Habsburg was still a banner of Germany, and Austria, which was at a disadvantage, had its own breakthrough, and Wilhelm II and his important ministers were inevitably a little unhappy.

The news of Hungary's opening of oil fields in June 1902 was bad news for Wilhelm II, although they would make Austria's oil supply more stable and even replenish German demand if needed.

Then the emperor said that he would go to Austria to meet his cousin and discuss the current situation in Europe with the Austrian crown prince. Of course, the German ministers would not object, and keeping the emperor in Berlin would only add to the chaos. It seemed good to everyone that the emperor was left in Austria with his funny cousin.

The German fleet, of course, at sea would not have known about His Majesty's departure, and they went south and met the British fleet. The British and German fleets parted ways as soon as they reached Gibraltar, heading east into the Mediterranean and then through the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean, eventually transporting goods to the British colony of India.

The German fleet returned to African ports and unloaded large quantities of merchandise, many of which turned out to be radios and phonographs. In the past few years, big-ticket European companies began to use the Min Dynasty's tube patents, and products such as radios and phonographs began to explode. According to the German tradition of copycats, the cost of these things is overwhelmingly low. Even wealthy blacks in places like Cameroon and Togo can afford it, provided they live in cities with electricity.

Some of the goods brought on board were awarded to the governors and staff of Cameroon and other colonies whose exploits in Africa were so great that the million-tonne steel production that made them an important part of the German economy. The Governor of the German colonies, who was overjoyed to receive the commendation order, sent a telegram back to the German Central Committee, asking them to thank Marx. Mr. Webb. It was the scholar's philosophy of business management and his orientation as a colony in Africa that gave German colonial officials a direction.

The German central government sighed in the heart of these callbacks, because the Mr. Weber himself was on the blacklist of the German Ministry of Internal Affairs. Studying under Engels was already a major black spot for Weber, and in the colonial proposal, Weber's practical basis was actually 'nationalization of land'. If these are still within the tolerance of the Ministry of the Interior, Weber's trip to Hungary to inspect gives the Ministry of the Interior a feeling that it is somewhat over-lined. Hungary is an evil socialist country, a country that openly cries out for equality and carries out violent revolutions. The last country in Europe to shout so loudly was France during the French Revolution, and then European countries formed several rounds of anti-French alliances, and it was not easy to overthrow France to the ground. Now that Hungary is not under siege only because of the support of the great powers, it is hard to believe that the praised Mr. Weber would have a policy of opposition to the nationalization of land.

Mr. Webb did not know that he was being targeted by the Ministry of the Interior, and that he was one of the funeral bearers when Uncle En died. The fact that the Hungarian Revolution succeeded within a few years surprised Weber. Shaken by the German academic community, Professor Weber went to visit with a group of German professors who were very interested in Hungary.

Professors are professors after all, and their first destination for their visit was not Hungary, but a straight trip to the Suez Canal. The two Suez Canals are significant in their own right. With the letter of recommendation written by Uncle En, Professor Weber really obtained the permission to interview approved by the Republic of China.

The Canal Zone was a military zone, with the Suez Canal to the east being garrisoned by British troops to the east, and the New Suez Canal to the west being controlled by the troops of the Republic of China. The professors were amazed by the size of the new Suez Canal, which allowed two large ships to run side by side, and the merchant fleet occupied half of the channel like a vehicle on the road, slowly moving forward under the guidance of the pilot vessels. The Suez Canal for the British, no less busy, limited by the width of the fairway, was clearly not as efficient.

The army garrison area on the periphery of the two Suez Canals, where the troops patrol back and forth, gives people a feeling of tension. In this land between the two canals, it is a different way, and the garrisons of the Republic of China and the British look very happy. It was a spiritual manifestation that the soldiers had a very peaceful view of the border, and they could see the Chinese army repairing the guardrails on the border, the British army helping, or the other way around.

The British troops also consisted of about a quarter of the troops composed of Egyptians, and more than eighty percent of the troops of the Republic of China were black security forces in the East African administrative region under the banner of Taiji. It can be seen that both countries are using local materials.

The professors had their own opinions, but Professor Weber believed that one of the pillars supporting the peaceful foreign policy of the Republic of China was to maintain good relations with the British. At the same time, the local pro-people forces should be used as much as possible. A large proportion of the professors focused their understanding on the collusion between the two most powerful empires, the Min Dynasty and the United Kingdom.

Among the people who traveled with me were students named Peer, but in fact they were members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who recorded the views of the professors bit by bit.

Having seen the key points of the eastern Mediterranean delay, the interviewers headed north to Cyprus. It was the bridgehead of the Republic of China in the Mediterranean. Before the ships reached the coast, they saw the fleet of the Republic of Korea patrolling around Cyprus. Although the scholars are not shipbuilding experts, and most of them are not professional science and engineering majors, just looking at the elegant appearance of those warships of the Republic of China and the trajectory of the sea, they feel that these warships should have quite strong combat effectiveness.

The flotilla consisted of three warships of more than a thousand tons, and the German naval personnel of the expert masses were able to see much more. Comparing the smoke from the chimneys of the warships with the speed of the warships, the German naval personnel were eager to find out at once what the power systems of these warships looked like, and the huge battleships had to have such a source of power if they wanted to cross the oceans.

But the cruising fleet did not give the German naval personnel a chance, and it was seen that the ship's observers observed the civilian ship with binoculars, and then the cruising fleet continued on its own.

Arriving in Cyprus, German scholars visited this real nest of socialism. Unlike high-ranking or muscular athletes, scholars did not have the opportunity to visit the Republic of China at the Olympics, and they were serious about being able to go to Cyprus to see what the advanced stage of socialism looked like.

There are many livestock on the island, and sheep are creatures that have high levels of salt in their blood and can tolerate the island's high salinity. Cyprus is more than 9,000 square kilometers, so you can also see a lot of cattle in the pasture Leman. The driver was a young Greek woman, who was wearing a laborer's dark blue work clothes, which gave her a very masculine look. However, she did not wear a dark blue peaked cap, which was tucked behind the wide cloth belt that was tied around her waist. As she drove, she tied a square red silk headscarf to her head and brought black sunglasses.

A group of German pedants couldn't stand this kind of natural sassiness. In their opinion, such an outfit is too frivolous, like the wind that makes the tail of the turban fly behind the girl's head when the open-top sedan pickup truck is moving. It's just that a pedant is a pedant after all, and he knows that he has to keep his mouth shut when he doesn't like it.

When they arrived at the farm, the scholars saw that it was the girl who drove the tractor to plough the land, the milker who milked the cows or goats, and some of the people who rode horses or motorcycles around the farm. Even those who thought the man had gathered in a place of intensive manual labor, such as a forage field, where some of the people who drove forklifts to transport forage were sisters. The main areas where the men play to their strengths are some tasks that must be done by manpower, such as nailing wooden stakes and repairing fences.

Professor Weber quickly discovered the pattern, it turned out that Cyprus had eliminated animal power, and agricultural machinery had made the girls fully useful. A large number of cattle on the farm are beef cattle, and their life trajectory is only to eat and drink, grow meat as soon as possible, and then be sent to the slaughterhouse, and the hard work such as pulling carts and plowing the land is no longer borne by cattle. After visiting the slaughterhouse, the professors discovered that the slaughterhouse was ruled by men. Even though the accountant in the slaughterhouse is Sister Paper, the clutches of the Sister Paper still do not rule over this killing place.

"If we become like this in Germany, probably the whole countryside and slaughterhouses will be occupied by women, right?" Someone couldn't help but whisper in the group of professors. Naturally, some of the professors scoffed, but they were all professors from the city, and professors with some rural experience were very serious about this statement.

The Greek paper on the island of Cyprus may seem frivolous to the Germans, and the old scholars also feel the softness of women rarely seen in Germany from these slender and light Mediterranean papers. Uncle Ma and Uncle En once mocked the German dragoon aunt very ungracefully, and in terms of height and stoutness, the Greek men on the island of Cyprus were far inferior. If the German countryside is mechanized to the extent that Cyprus is there, the presence or absence of men will no longer affect farm work. As for the slaughterhouse, the professors were more inclined to believe in the possibility that the German dragoon aunt could kill the cattle empty-handed. If the dragoon aunt had a sledgehammer in her hand, the professors would probably have been frightened and scattered.

The imagination of the dragoon aunt ruling the countryside is so real that the professors dare not talk nonsense. The guys with official backgrounds hidden in the companions are not of high background, so the nobles will not come to do low-level jobs such as surveillance. The watchers were also speechless by the imagination, as many of them had mothers who were also part of the dragoons.

After a long silence, someone changed the question, "Women can hold up half the sky, it seems that socialism is playing for real." ”

'Women can hold up half the sky' was first introduced to Europe as proof of the crimes of the socialist system, and most of the people in Europe were attacking the deviant state ownership of land by the Republic of China. In Europe, widows were the ones who supported themselves by farming, and one of the measures that accompanied the nationalization of land in the Republic of China was that women owned land and supported themselves through farming. Therefore, one of the two major arguments against the Republic of China was to scold the Republic of China for implementing the 'artificial widow policy', and the other was naturally 'communist wife'.

After a moment of silence, a professor retorted angrily: "That's just the high level of industry in the Min Dynasty. If Germany also had such technology, our countryside would be better than the Minchao. ”

Professor Webb was not involved in the discussion of these issues, and he felt that it was very cheap. The rapid development of the Republic of China was less than half a century, and more than 60 years ago, Britain insisted on attacking China and forced China to sign the "Treaty of Nanjing." The fact that the rise of the Republic of China coincided with the process in which the state ownership of land had been strengthened is enough to prove a lot.

At this time, German professors began to move on again, discussing the relationship between industrial development and rural investment, and all institutional issues were thrown aside. Professor Weber remained silent, the quality of the German professors is not particularly bad, how to talk about it after returning home is the same thing, let them themselves lie openly in front of a group of peers, they still do not dare to take such a risk. Collective lying needs to look at the direction of the wind, who to show in front of the thousand-year-old fox?
