8,000 people from China to Germany, not too easy, now countries, shipping is thriving, Britain and Germany are secretly preparing for war, they are the world's shipping head, plus more and more prosperous world trade, want to get together enough ships, transport personnel and basic equipment, this is not easy, the most important thing is that this is only a small part of the bulk transportation, to Germany to build a large project workers, in addition to a part of the ship, there is a considerable part, did not get on the ship, Germany supported part of the capacity, The rest will be solved by the Northwest itself.

The distance from Shanghai to Basra is more than half less than the distance from Shanghai to Berlin, if the Baghdad railway is completely completed, it can also be diverted through the Guò Baghdad railway, and now, whether it is personnel or equipment, it must be transported by guò ship, the pressure on the shipping is very large, and Germany is only in a limited situation, a part of it has been transferred, which is already the limit.

Yang Yuanzhao is also very aware of this, during this time, it is to implement the power of shipping, some of the ships ordered from the United Kingdom before, not in the United Kingdom, but in Asia and North America, part of the Guò Panama Canal, to China, and the other part, directly delivered in China, they are all old ships near China, and they have to be traded locally.

As for the European side, Germany and the United States took action, temporarily organized a shipping company, recruited sailors in various countries, and worked first, and in the future, according to the proportion and procedure, add Chinese personnel to the middle, and in the future, there will be a steady stream of soldiers for the Chinese Navy.

Remote control of the northwest, made a series of decisions, Yang Yuanzhao of course can not be exhaustive, in many cases, are issued the most basic orders, the rest of the enough administrative staff to implement, from the era of the reclamation company, has formed a good habit, no drag, no one floats, the efficiency of all aspects is quite high, several large-scale sea transportation, so that the northwest administrators, accumulated a lot of experience, the first batch of personnel quickly mobilized, ready to go.

The Yangtze River in November is a little cold, the weather in the south is like this, this kind of cold directly immersed in the bones, so that some northerners can not stand it, fortunately, all kinds of warm clothes, especially the duck down vigorously promoted in the northwest, has become a new project in the south of the Yangtze River, before people raised ducks to eat meat, now, more for the production of cashmere, even if there is no high efficiency of scientific breeding in the northwest, it has also caused the prosperity of the breeding industry.

The first batch of workers who went to Germany to work, plus the personnel of the Production and Construction Corps and the Railway Construction Corps, took an ocean-going ship to Europe thousands of miles away, and went to the shipyard, wearing clothes with sky blue as the main body, and they were born from the earliest batch of overalls in the northwest. The Production and Construction Corps and the Railway Construction Corps are mainly used for training uniforms, and they are already semi-militarized troops, and both the organizational structure and the institutional structure are the model of the army, and the officers are all regular officers, but they are selected from the field troops, and those who are not very suitable for the field troops are promoted to a higher level of appointment, and when there are no projects and tasks, military training is maintained, and even when they are working, they will allocate a certain amount of time for training.

The Production and Construction Corps and the Railway Construction Corps, these two major organizations, have become one of the two largest corps in the northwest, from the beginning of the construction, their expansion has not been reduced, especially more than a year ago in Basra, it is a rapid expansion, now China, can not afford the protection of overseas Chinese or migrant workers, this group corps model, is the best choice, the least discipline than civilian factories, I don't know how much stronger.

However, the thousands of people present, whether they were shipyard workers or paramilitary corps soldiers, they were a little confused in their hearts, Germany, for most of the personnel, is a strange place, only known that in 1900, one of the great powers of the Gengzi Incident, occupied China's Shandong, is a privileged country in China.

But further down there I don't know, that is, some workers in the northwest who came into contact with foreigners, know some, but they are all hearsay, or the introduction of German engineers or scientists, Basra is far enough, no matter what, it is also in the Middle East, I heard that it is still in Asia, Germany, and has already gone to Western Europe, which is a little too far.

In the crowd, there are some people holding German dictionaries and practicing in the Northwest, which has popularized foreign language education from the very beginning, English and German are the focus, English is the common language, and Germany is the most closely cooperating with the Northwest, Harpy is a German, and he was originally recruited from Germany as a worker and engineer.

The promotion of the Northwest, partly relying on the results of the Westernization Movement, this is only a foundation, when the real substantial improvement, is after the employment of German engineers and researchers, some apprentices and workers began to master these, among them, the level is quite high, and the barely relying on the dictionary to communicate with the Germans occupies a large part, in the Northwest promulgated the workers' standards, between the first-class wages, the difference between dozens of yuan, or even hundreds of yuan abounds, plus the wage income of the Northwest is only a part, Senior technicians in the bonus income is the majority, in the case of tight tasks, high returns, high bonuses is the only way to complete the order.

In the Northwest, from the very beginning there was a trend of learning knowledge, increasing the level, and making more money, first from the hands of senior technicians, and later, from the hands of these German workers and scientists, to learn knowledge, language is a must pass, even if it is rote memorization, let them work hard to learn, this time has been more than three years, some people can even directly communicate proficiently, among the first batch of selected workers, technology is never the first, the first is language, This will greatly reduce the time it takes for them to integrate.

The two aspects are not in conflict, to be able to learn the language in a down-to-earth manner, to strengthen communication with the German personnel, are more hard, their technical standards are quite good, except for a small number of mechanics who are really not suitable for working in the shipyard, were left behind, the rest are stuffed into it.

Among this group of workers, there are 120 of them, which are different from others, they are carefully selected from all over the northwest, have mastered a lot of scientific knowledge, have a certain design talent, they will be selected from more than 3,000 international students in Germany to select hundreds of people, together to become designer apprentices, into some studios and offices in Germany, for basic learning, this group of talents is the most important in this group of people to Germany, they are the seeds of the future Chinese naval design.

In order to arrange these people, Yang Yuanzhao paid a lot of price, and he needed to give Germany an interest-free loan of 50 million US dollars, that is to say, to let these people enter the designer office and learn the navy in earnest, it takes so much to pay, on average to each person, up to 1 million US dollars, but Yang Yuanzhao still paid, although he can learn some from the battleship designer, but the number of designers sent to Qingdao will not exceed 12 people, and they still have a relatively heavy task of designing warships. Not very suitable for professors, at most is to follow the learning, not a special system, at most only a field of expertise, only after 2-3 years of systematic learning, after mastering a basic method of design, can continue to improve in the future, Yang Yuanzhao's heart, good design does not know how much, someone needs to be able to put them into practice.

In the shouts of the group leader, supervisor or company commander and battalion commander, thousands of people, divided into more than 100 columns, stood on the dock respectively, thousands of people formed a neat camp magnificently, occupying the huge wharf that had been expanded in Shanghai, and they were facing all kinds, more than 30 ships, only a small number of passenger ships, the rest, all were freighter refits, more than 200,000 workers were transferred, and the German projects needed extremely large personnel.

Relying on passenger ships is unrealistic, not only Yang Yuanzhao's newly bought ships are used, Germany has also sent a lot of support, they are the second batch, the front 12,000 people, has set off a week ago, the next 3 months, they will arrive in Germany one after another, they are the second batch, a total of more than 9,000 people.

More than 30 ships put down the deck at the same time, more than 100 teams have been lined up, on average to each ship, only three, strict discipline, let them follow the order, under the supervisor of the superior, slowly board, in an orderly situation, it is much faster, in different positions of the cabin, there are guides, they have already been assigned a good position, according to 4 people as a unit, quickly find their position, a small number of passenger ship cabins, most of them are temporarily built, simple compartments.

Fortunately, these are all workers from the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao sent them with high hopes, more than 30 ships, the average of each is only more than 300 people, but the largest ship is almost 18,000 tons, the smallest is more than 2,500 tons, used to carry more than 300 people, it is simply too spacious.

It only took 3 hours, most of the personnel were on the ship, the whistle sounded, the first ship started, followed by one cargo ship after another, fish out of the Yangtze River estuary, near Chongming Island outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, completed the formation, and then went around a bend, towards the south, in the next two months, they will be on the ship across the ocean, to the destination of Germany, to begin the experience of working in Germany, at this moment, most people's hearts are confused, unknown country, unknown work, but their heartsThey are still full of hope, because there is a powerful collective in the Northwest standing behind them.
