Chapter 1512: The Crazy Immigrant
From China to Alaska, along the island of Sakhalin, it is not too far, within 5,000 kilometers, just like the United States crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom, there is no danger along the way, with the most economical speed of 12 knots, more than ten hours a day, it is more than 250 kilometers, that is, 25 days of single trip, 50 days back and forth, in this way, it is only 7 times a year, it is difficult for the construction of a country with almost unlimited needs, this is not a year or two, it can be completed, the initial stage, It is necessary to solve the problem of infrastructure, after all, Alaska has no foundation, almost no industry, just like China when Yang Yuanzhao did not travel before, there are countless resources, but there is no industry that makes use of these resources. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fortunately, there are coal and iron deposits in Alaska, although the distance is not so close, but as long as a temporary railway is built, it can connect the two, or a temporary construction of a highway is almost OK, a 6.5 million tons of steel project, the requirements for the road are not so high, just like Yang Yuanzhao in Baiyun Obo back then, and even the current conditions are much better than back then.
However, the support of such a large steel plant, far beyond Japan's expectations, you know, before the outbreak of World War I, Japan's steel output was only about one million tons, not even one-sixth of this, now it has increased all of a sudden, even if it is to pay, the Japanese are also very excited, if this steel plant is built, Japan in steel production, may only be second only to China, the United States, Germany, Britain and other major powers in the world, and even above France, in this era, the meaning of steel is not just a commodity, This is the potential for war.
The Japanese have long been aware of the fact that they must resist the attack of the United States before they can completely hold this rich land in their hands, and nothing is so simple, in this case, they must rely on China's support in the early stage, but the construction of this steel mill means that it is possible for them to establish their own military industry, as long as they resist the attack of North America in the early stage and take root in Alaska, Alaska will definitely be Japan's.
Large ocean-going fleets, did not stay in Japan for a long time, Japan is also very clear, they do not have much time, must race against time, China's ocean-going merchant ships, before arriving in Japan, reported the situation, Japan also made preparations for this early, although did not expect that China will come up with a 30,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship, which caused a commotion, but the original plan, still proceeded step by step.
The transportation volume of 3.5 million tons is one section higher than the Japanese expected, when a large number of people boarded the ship, Japan is also recruiting the remaining personnel, this time, Japan is ready to transport 3 million people at one time, including 300,000 troops and a full set of equipment, the rest are carefully selected, there are industry elites, government officials, but more are a large number of poor people.
3 million, this data is terrible, the Chinese side originally thought that it might take a long time, but did not expect that in a short period of time, Japan will complete the preparations. Japan's development system is very different from China's, their squeezing of workers is world-famous, before China did not reform the spinning machine, the world's record of single spindle production was founded by the Japanese, a spindle produces half a pack of cotton yarn a year, almost twice that of the United States and the United Kingdom, the reason why it can have such a high effect is not that the Japanese are very powerful in machinery, but because the Japanese are pressing.
The 15-hour or even 18-hour work system was created by the Japanese, and the substitution of non-stop, non-stop spinning day and night also started in Japan, and even a large number of child and female laborers were used to reduce wage expenditures, which also began in Japan, so the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and the high-level chaebols have access to massive funds, and can even compete with large cotton yarn and cotton cloth countries like Britain in the world field, but the workers at the bottom have no way to live a good life, Western industrial products, Except for military use or high-level needs, the rest cannot be sold in Japan at all, because there is no such market and demand.
The Japanese are too poor, working more than ten hours a day, day and night, but there is not enough salary to support the whole family, most of them do not even have a decent clothes, and even some clothes that can be worn on their bodies are turned into rags in the high-intensity work again and again.
But even under this premise, Japan has not competed with China, under the squeeze of China, even if China uses more than 35 times the labor force of Japan, but more than the production efficiency of the whole world, still let China in terms of cost and efficiency, completely blow up Japan, and has a huge advantage in the field of chemical industry, the new printing and dyeing cloth directly hit the British are collapsed, not to mention the weaker Japan, respectively, lost the high-end and low-end situation, Japan's pillar industry cotton textile enterprises are facing a precarious situation, The large-scale bankruptcy even affected Japan's industrial layout for a time. Japan lost a large number of industries, and in the face of a desperate situation, Japan could not compete with the armed forces, and finally lost the opportunity, was defeated by China, and finally surrendered to China and joined the Chinese camp.
In joining the camp of China, there is no danger of being destroyed, a large amount of resources of the United States have been confiscated, which can be regarded as temporarily making up for Japan's deficit, relying on a huge foreign account, which can allow Japan to travel lightly, but its own industry has not yet recovered, under the premise of a big fight in the world, they have hated the Entente, and the only little order is finished, what does this mean, it represents a substantial increase in the unemployment rate, everyone needs to work, and they must have rations, if they can't create value, There are too many materials needed for the whole of Japan, which is why Japan is willing to hand over a large amount of manpower to China, and it cannot support so many people at home.
China gave a very good treatment at that time, as long as millions of laborers, and some professional talents, each person will be given a capitation fee of 50 US dollars per year, and food and housing are managed by Chinese, which is a weapon to reduce pressure on Japan at that time, this part of the people, can solve their own problems, which occupies almost one-tenth of their population, reduce these, and then work hard, it is easy to calm down the situation, plus China came up with the next goal, attack Alaska, Japan in the future, After the difficult transformation, after China set the strategy of Alaska, it focused on the war, and the remaining tough ones were stuffed into the barracks and completely solved the problem.
Japan's transformation is very simple, in the country, the production of a large number of immigration-related things, on the other hand, a certain amount of experience, but no job people gathered, the first batch of personnel selected, a total of more than 3 million, this part of the people will work with the early stage of the personnel, do a good job of basic construction projects, to help in the next six months, at least three batches of immigrants, have a good foundation.
20 million people, or even 30 million people, such immigration, has never been a simple matter, even if it is close by land, it will take a considerable amount of time, let alone go by sea, China has provided enough capacity, enough to help Japan transport more personnel, of course, the Japanese are also quite ruthless, basically everyone carries their belongings, a small cabin, at least a dozen people squeezed in, falling from above, all covered, and even hammocks, at that time China was quite complaining, according to Chinese standards, 10,000-ton ship, for immigration, that is, one person is equal to about 3 tons, one ton per person, a little crazy, although for a person, the average value of up to 100 kilograms, plus the items carried with you, will not exceed 150 kilograms, so 10,000 people, at most 1500 tons, but unfortunately the space occupied by people is far larger than the space occupied by goods, it is impossible to pile up one person by one, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough space on the ship, at least people to move, In this way, there is more space on average.
Japan is different, almost all the places that can be stuffed into people, although China has warned the Japanese, cross-sea transportation, for these people are more demanding, which may cause adverse effects, but was refused, because Japan clearly stated that it is not a cold winter, on a series of islands, temporarily has a variety of stops, a day is not 24 hours of action, the big deal is not to come out of the room first, as long as you can get off the ship to rest, in such a short time, is acceptable.
The implicit meaning of the Japanese, China understands, as far as possible in the shortest possible time, transport more people, in a certain sense, it is no problem to die, this is what China tries to avoid, fortunately, it is not a cognition, China can not make decisions for Japan, just like that, more than 3 million people, squeezed into 3.5 million tons is the merchant fleet, when the fleet leaves in turn, on the deck, all the places that can stand people, are crowded with people.
However, China is still relatively confident that most of them can reach Alaska, after all, there is only a range of less than 4,000 kilometers, there are really some problems, and they can also be evacuated through the Aleutian Islands, and they can be transported to Alaska little by little by relay.
For China, this is a powerful challenge, but after knowing that Japan has to transport so much, China has made certain preparations, even if there are some bad things, it can be controlled to a considerable extent, and in this way, under the integration of the two sides, more and more people are concentrated on the ship, and then, basically, two or three ships as a group, as long as the people are full, they will set off, and they don't have to wait for the group to travel together.
