After the departure of the 1st Cavalry Division, the rest of the men split up, and the other high-ranking members of the Suzaku Regiment returned to their respective units in airships. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 1st Cavalry Division has already set out, and the other nine cavalry divisions are to follow.

Zhao Gang, as the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, wants to control the overall situation, but Zhao Gang will not sit in the rear, but the deputy corps commander Lin Hao will sit in the rear, and Zhao Gang will fly in the sky in a Kunpeng-6 light airship, with the Kunpeng-6 light airship as the command center, he can reach the position of any cavalry division at the fastest speed and issue combat orders.

All the high-ranking members of the Vermilion Bird Legion left, and Yan Xueyi and his party also set off, targeting Mu Zhen'er's hometown, the Chechen Khan.

After two days in the Chechen Khan's Department, the airship formation took off again, but this time the airship did not fly directly to Yuanhe City, but went around the land of China, and Yan Xueyi wanted to inspect the heavy industry of the empire.

At present, the industry of the Chinese Empire is mainly in the provinces of Siqi, and now it is expected that the provinces around the provinces of Siqi Province will spread, and there are shipyards in some areas along the sea.

With the exception of shipyards, light industry was mainly developed by the private sector and controlled by the imperial government.

But heavy industry is different, in a short period of time, the empire's heavy industry will be controlled by the Yan firm, and the people cannot participate, after all, heavy industry represents the real strength of the Chinese Empire, controlled by the Yan family, and is not easy to be infiltrated by foreign forces.

You must know that the industrial development of the Chinese Empire is so fast, and now it has surpassed Russia, relying on a variety of advanced technologies, and the technology of Western countries generally has a gap of one or even two generations with the Chinese Empire, and under such a gap, the industrial level of the Chinese Empire will quickly catch up with or even surpass the Western countries.

Whether it is the development of light industry or heavy industry, there are two things that are most inseparable: oil and steel.

At present, the scale of the Chinese Empire's petroleum industry is 800,000 tons per year, and the scale of the iron and steel industry is 1.1 million tons of steel per year.

The oil industry, the Chinese Empire has just developed, and the scale of the steel industry is not small, but for the Chinese Empire, which has 13.84 million square kilometers of land and a population of 410 million, this number is still too small.

In the next five years, the Chinese Empire will reach an annual output of 20 million tons of oil and 5 million tons of steel, so as to support the rapid industrial development of the Chinese Empire, and all this needs to be the responsibility of Gan's firm.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire now governs an area of 13.84 million square kilometers, and the Chinese Empire is a vast land with sufficient resources under the land.

Not to mention the fact that in the previous five years, the Chinese Empire had a heavy industrial base, where a large number of machinery was produced every day and shipped to all parts of the country, all of which were used in newly built factories.

With such a heavy industrial base, the Chinese Empire could also produce machinery and equipment for oil extraction, oil refining, and steel making in large quantities, without relying on other countries.

The rise of the Chinese Empire has caused hostility among the Caucasian countries, especially Britain and France, and even if Germany cooperates with the Chinese Empire, it is only that the Chinese Empire has what Germany needs, and Britain and France are also enemies of Germany, and Germany wants the Chinese Empire and Britain and France to continue to go to war, and it is good to lose both, and Germany does not want to see a strong Chinese Empire appear.

If the Chinese Empire needed to buy all kinds of machinery and equipment from Western countries to develop heavy industry, I am afraid that few countries except Germany would sell them to the Chinese Empire, which was a kind of restriction on the Chinese Empire.

And how much help can Germany alone give to the Chinese Empire? Although there are airships now, it takes six or seven days to travel between the two countries, but if you want to transport heavy machinery and equipment, you have to rely on sea transportation, which is a long time, and the Chinese Empire does not have so much time to wait.

Fortunately, the Chinese Empire has a heavy industrial base, laying a solid foundation for the industrial development of the Chinese Empire in the future.

With the Gan firm in charge of the empire's heavy industry, the empire's heavy industry will surely develop rapidly.

In the next five years, in addition to the existing Changqing oil field, the Chinese Empire will also exploit four oil fields, bringing the Chinese Empire's oil production to more than 20 million tons.

These four oil fields are Songliao (Daqing) Oilfield, Shandong (Shengli) Oilfield, Liaohe Oilfield, Karamay Oilfield, plus Changqing Oilfield, the annual oil output limit of these five oilfields will exceed 150 million tons, and the target of 20 million in five years is just a small meaning, as long as enough manpower and material resources are invested, it is enough to achieve the goal of annual output of 20 million tons of oil in five years.

At present, the Chinese Empire has two iron and steel plants, namely Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant and Yongyi Iron and Steel Plant, Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant began to lag behind Yongyi Iron and Steel Plant due to the annual steel output reached the limit, Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant no longer produces ordinary steel, but specializes in the production of artillery, ships, important machinery and other special steel

The Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant and the Yongyi Iron and Steel Plant alone will not support the industrial development of the Chinese Empire, and in the next five years, three large steel plants will be built, namely Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant, Handan Iron and Steel Plant, and Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.

The three iron and steel plants have large and even extra-large iron ore mines, which are enough to support tens of millions of tons of iron and steel enterprises, and the goal of the Chinese Empire in the next five years is to produce 5 million tons of steel per year, as long as the three steel plants of Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant, Handan Iron and Steel Plant, and Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant can reach one million tons of steel output, it is relatively easy to achieve this goal, and the steel output of the Chinese Empire will rank first in the world at that time.

Unlike the so-called democracies in the West, Western countries will only have businessmen build more steel mills because of profit when they need steel, and if the supply exceeds demand, the steel mills will only go bankrupt and close down.

But the Chinese Empire is different, the heavy industry of the Chinese Empire is in the hands of the Yan firm, more precisely in the hands of the Emperor Yan Xueyi, Yan Xueyi can simulate the future development of the Chinese Empire through quantum computers, and calculate how much steel the Chinese Empire needs, can not build a new steel plant in the case of supply less than demand, or expand the capacity of the steel plant, all this takes time, it is better to determine the scale of the steel plant when the steel plant is established, so that the supply exceeds demand, but it will not be much larger.

In the future, the Chinese Empire will need more steel every year, and the steel mills will also expand their production capacity every year, so that supply and demand can reach a balance, and will not delay the industrial development of the Chinese Empire.
