Section 1030 Cairo New City (2)

Both the inner and outer walls were built with a thick cement pile at intervals of 5 meters, driven deep into the ground as support, and then brick or stone walls were built.

In addition, there is a second layer of cement reinforcement piles, which are also played at intervals of 5 meters, and the distance from the first layer is three meters, and the cement reinforcement piles are staggered, and then one more layer of brick walls is built.

The ideal way to build a city is to lay cement piles, and then erect iron nets, and then build walls on the net, which is absolutely solid.

However, the number of rebars will be astronomical!

At present, the steel production in the southeast is quite high, Jinshan Province and Luzon have very large steel plants, plus the steel plants in the Tuao mainland, which produce a huge amount of steel every year, and there is also iron ore and coal in India.

There is no problem with the steel bars used to support Cairo New Town, but there is a problem with transportation, iron is a very heavy thing, there are many things to be transported, it is really difficult to take care of it, and there is also a problem in time, to build a city as quickly as possible, those stones and bricks are ready, and then use steel to build piles, which is already very remarkable!

So let's do it!

People hoe and shovel to dig the earth, carry the soil, drive piles, build walls, ram ......

They dug trenches, built docks, roads, and at an astonishing rate!

It is 130 kilometers from Suez City to Cairo New City, and it took the Chinese only ten days to build two iron tracks!

Rail!

There were no steam engines, and the tracks were run by horse trailers, donkey trailers, and trailers pulled by livestock carried all kinds of supplies to Cairo New City.

Double-track, one coming, one back, non-stop handling, and the efficiency is fast.

From morning to night, trailers come and go on the tracks, sometimes with lights up in the middle of the night!

Cairo New City was built quickly, thanks to the railroad tracks!

Tens of thousands of people worked together, they leveled the land, laid the roadbed, placed sleepers, installed rails, and tightened screws!

This is a kind of light railway, the track is 0.7 meters wide, pulled by horses, the body is the system, each section is nailed together by wooden planks, four cast iron wheels are installed in front and rear, no carriage, all open, in order to save weight.

Each car body can carry about 8 tons, 4 cars for a car, 30 tons of load, pulled by 12 horses, or 2 cars for a car, pulled by 12 donkeys.

Its people and goods are transported twice, people can sit together, and there is no problem with 50 people in a car body, which is very convenient.

20 miles of land is 10 kilometers to set up a station, the horse and donkey line after a station will be replaced, change to another horse and donkey to pull, give them a rest, and feed bean cakes, peanut cakes good ingredients.

If you are driving the car, you will see the three pots taking drinks for the horses and donkeys to eat, and eating them yourself!

The coachman sits at the front of the car with a long whip, and several horses stand on both sides of the track, the coachman shouts, the long whip explodes in the air, the wheels rumble, and the horses raise their manes and hooves and strive to move forward!

When you arrive at the terminal, you can turn around after unloading and take another track, which is the advantage of the dual-track system.

In order to ensure the safe operation of the track, the military has set up defenses along the left and right 30 miles along the line, which is listed as a military restricted area, and non-relevant people are strictly prohibited from entering.

If you try to destroy the track, you can correct the law on the spot!

The Cairoians were responsible for digging the moat, removing the sand from the ground, and then they could dig the earth, and depending on the situation, the earthwork could be used in the city walls.

The construction of the city walls is in full swing.

First of all, lay the foundation, as the saying goes, the foundation is not firm, the ground shakes, and the foundation must not be sloppy!

Once the foundation is dug, the stones are laid underneath to build the reinforced concrete columns!

The people kept lifting pieces of granite with winches and slings, building the walls with cement, and then filling and ramming the earth.

Some people build shelves, some people transport building materials, and some people are responsible for construction.

The people who built it were definitely Chinese, and the others were in charge of chores.

A lot of manpower was used, more than 5 million earthworks alone, and 150,000 people worked together, and slowly, but also had to transport materials and build the city wall.

So people use all the means at their disposal, such as carts, cranes, livestock assistance, rails, etc.

Every day is to work like the stars and the moon, and when the construction period is tight, it is three shifts, and the lights are bright at night, and the work is constantly rushed.

Chinese craftsmen, in particular, work more than twice as efficiently as the rest!

Separate the four sides of the city, go hand in hand, mainly take the way of reward, catch up with the progress, which side is faster, which side is rewarded, divided into the day of the reward, three days of rewards and ten days of rewards, in the salary of the reward, up to 50% of the salary.

What is commendable is that the food on the construction site is very good, and the military has set up a catering company, which is not profitable, and provides good food to ensure the physical strength of the migrant workers.

The food of the migrant workers is all military standard, and they are given according to the treatment of soldiers, and the staple food tube is full as long as possible, and fresh meat and vegetables are provided, and if it is not possible, there must be dried meat, and the amount of meat is very large.

During this hard time, the migrant workers ate very well, and after a few years, they were very emotional, and they ate the best when they were in a hurry!

The city was formed at a rapid pace, but the quality was just as good, and the city wall was built in ancient times, and it was rammed together with glutinous rice juice, white silt, sand and hydrated lime.

The construction supervisor was strict, and when the inspection was carried out, the soldier who could pierce an inch of the city wall with an iron cone would kill the workers of this section of the city wall and fill the corpse into the city wall. If you can't stab it, you will kill the soldiers, such as the ruins of the Wancheng in northern Shaanxi.

Of course, the southeast country will not kill people when it builds Cairo New City, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed, and a quality inspection team has been set up, and the team leader is the military commander Li Laiheng, who will definitely not take it lightly, because the city is built, he is responsible for guarding, if the quality is not up to par, he will be killed!

The Fourth Army had been scheduled to guard the new city of Cairo, and the army carefully checked the quality of the fortified city from top to bottom, and would not let go of any problems in any place.

It's fast, it's good!

The Chinese are the main body of city building, the reason is very simple, in terms of construction speed, in this world, is there a higher efficiency than the Chinese?

In terms of building city walls, in this world, is there anyone better at doing this job than the Chinese?

All the Chinese are working hard, in addition to the migrant workers, there are also tens of thousands of soldiers who also come to help, and they have come up with the attitude of going to the front line to fight: hard work, minor injuries will not get out of the line of fire!

In the city of Cairo, the puppet regime led by Abdullah Faisal also contributed a lot, they came forward to appease the Cairoes, organized the Cairoese helpers, and explained very clearly: "The city of Cairo is a peaceful city, it has not been attacked by war for thousands of years, and although the Chinese besieged the city, there was no large-scale attack. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can not participate, but do not destroy the peace, after all, the Chinese have guns in their hands! ”

Once the people of Cairo make trouble, they will provoke the Chinese to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and it is the people of Cairo who will suffer after all, and this truth was bitterly criticized by Abdullah Faisal

For example, the Chinese bought all the sheep in Cairo, but they all paid according to the market price, so they did not inspire a popular uprising.

In the end, the Chinese army and the people of Cairo exercised restraint and there were no major problems, and the Cairoans did not add to the chaos in Cairo's new city.

As for the outside of Cairo, the southeastern army was strictly guarded to the death, and whichever force dared to be unfavorable to the city would be attacked, so that the forces of all sides did not dare to act rashly.

The embarrassment of the Turks ruling the vast territory was complete, and they failed to organize a strong force to repair the city at the beginning of the city, and by the time the army arrived, the city had already been repaired!
