――――――――――――
The economic war with the United States has raised tariffs to an outrageous level, depriving Zeppelin of a huge market in the United States and cutting off the supply of helium from the United States.
The helium production that Yang Chao's spaceship can provide can only last about a hundred, and Yang Chao's spaceship is obviously more efficient to dig for gold, so it is impossible to waste energy to produce helium for airships, so this industry has almost no future.
Once again, history went back to the old ways, and the planes once again triumphed over the airships and took over the skies.
"Let's transform into aircraft research and development, we have the best aerodynamic engineers in the world, have rich experience in developing aircraft, and develop airship technology, many of which can still be applied to aircraft. I ask you to develop a large aircraft as soon as possible, which can be used as a transport aircraft and an airliner. ”
The Americans will be able to withdraw from the two-ton aircraft of the B17 in ten years, and there is no reason why the Zeppelin company, which has rich technical reserves, cannot manufacture it, Yang Chao has fed this company for more than ten years, isn't it just to let them stand at the top of technology.
Fortunately, although production has almost come to a standstill, and ordinary workers have changed to other jobs, technical personnel and R&D personnel have not decreased, especially a large number of core backbone German engineers, because it is really difficult to find jobs in Germany now, so they still remain in the company, so that Zeppelin's technical strength has not been lost.
But they don't produce products and raise these people in vain, whether it is Count Soden or Cosman, they are actually very embarrassed, because the largest shareholder of this company is Yang Chao after all, which is tantamount to wasting Yang Chao's money in vain, so during this time, they lent a lot of backbone technical strength to Maybach, let Maybach pay to support them, and use Maybach's operation to support them.
Now that Yang Chao said that he wanted to develop airplanes, no matter how much he looked down on airplanes in the past and how persistently he was keen on airships, they did not have any complaints, on the contrary, they felt a lot more comfortable for these people to find meaningful things to do.
However, everyone's morale is not very high, the first is that they are really not interested in aircraft, the second is the defeat of Germany, the blow to the German national spirit is really too great, as a high-minded and arrogant nation, suddenly defeated, climbed high and fell heavy, just like the Chinese boasted of being **** for thousands of years, suddenly by Britain, France, Japan, Russia and other countries in turn fat beating, for a time the world seems to have a little ability can come to hit China, Chinese can have a heart to blame.
Immediately after leaving Qingdao, he went to Yantai, and Yang Chao wanted to visit the situation of the first aircraft carrier.
Yantai shipbuilding industry now has two large companies, the largest one is the Fujian Association Shipyard, which has the power to support it, and the Fujian Gang has not been eliminated as in the original history, but has become bigger step by step.
When Yang Chao first arrived here, the foreigners had forced China's sailing ships to a desperate situation with steamboats, and the Fujian Gang could maintain a trade volume of 5 million taels a year with sailboats here in Yantai.
At present, the Yantai-Dalian route from Shandong to Northeast China is almost monopolized by the Fujian Huay Guan fleet, and they produce their own steamships, and they have eliminated the sailing ships in their hands, starting with small gas ships of several hundred tons, and now the main steamships of more than 1,000 tons, which are their main products.
With the stimulation of Yang Chao's warships in those years, they have been able to produce 30,000-ton giant ships, and this aircraft carrier transformation has also been handed over to the Fujian Hall Shipyard.
Fujian's own manufacturing strength is not lacking, but the design ability is still seriously insufficient, so they cooperated with the Japanese, the second shipbuilding company in Yantai, it is the Kawasaki chaebol from Japan, Qingdao also has a shipbuilding company, originally German, under Yang Chao's matchmaking, was also acquired by the Fujian Association, and the technical backbone of Qingdao shipyard naturally joined the transformation plan.
But Yang Chao did not change only one, but carried out two at the same time, and the other was renovated at sea.
Shanghai's shipbuilding industry is now a sudden rise and has the potential to catch up with and surpass Shandong, the reason is very simple, where is the shipping center, the conditions are unique.
When Yang Chao was in charge, a large number of government-run enterprises and industries were sold, and the fact that the Fujian Association had been able to develop so well over the years was also related to their acquisition of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, because they obtained the most important assets accumulated by the Westernization Movement for decades, and a large number of talents cultivated by the Shipbuilding Bureau continued to pour into the Fujian Huay Kuan Group, whether it was shipbuilding technicians or ship pilots, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau could be trained.
Similarly, the Jiangnan Shipyard, the largest asset of the Shanghai Maritime Affairs Movement, was also taken over by the local capitalists in Shanghai, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Shipping Group, centered on the Ningbo people, defeated the Fujian gang that tried to infiltrate Shanghai, and they spent 3 million taels to acquire the shipyard, and I heard that Sheng Xuanhuai also played a role in matchmaking, but Sheng Xuanhuai was dead, and his descendants sold their shares, and now it is estimated that the waste is almost ruined.
The financial magnate Yu Qiaqing failed miserably in the gold crisis and rubber crisis set off by Yang Chao, and after learning from the pain, he went out again to start developing again with Sanbei Aviation Group as the capital.
With the backing of Siming Bank and Jiangnan Shipyard as the foundation, the Ningbo Gang has developed rapidly in the Sanbei shipping industry, and is now the second largest shipping strength in China after the Fujian Gang, occupying a quarter of the Chinese shipping market.
The Ningbo Gang cooperated with the Mitsubishi Group to drain the water of Shanghai's operation, squeeze out Kawasaki and Fujian Gang, hoping to keep Shanghai as a shipping center in their hands. Therefore, Yang Chao wants to modify the aircraft carrier, and the Ningbo Gang will not let go of this opportunity, Mitsubishi is even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, they have no political voice in China, so they instigated the Ningbo Gang, and through Xie Guanhui, they finally got the right to modify another aircraft carrier.
This modification is very important, because ******** is going to build a fleet of about ten aircraft carriers, and whoever can gain experience first will be able to gain a huge market in the future.
The Ningbo Gang didn't have time to look at it, and Yang Chao could still take a look at Yantai nearby.
There is no problem in the construction of aircraft carriers, Britain and the United States are researching, and in World War I, an all-through deck aircraft carrier like the Hundred-Eyed Giant was transformed, and then the Athletic God was a new design, and modern aircraft carrier elements such as island structure appeared.
The aircraft carrier modified in Yantai borrowed a lot from British design, and the Kawasaki Group used their relationship with the British Armstrong company to send their engineers to the United Kingdom to visit and study, so the modification of Yantai's first aircraft carrier is almost a copy of the Athletic God, but the Athletic God itself has not yet been completed, so this is still experimental.
The huge cannons on the battleship were removed, the bridge and chimney were removed, they were placed on one side, and an all-through deck was laid.
It's a pity that Yang Chao can't see the airship training anymore, because it has not been modified yet, and the pilots are now training on land, using roadbed aircraft to conduct take-off and landing training on the deck-width runway drawn.
More than a dozen battleships will be converted into aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carriers with heavy armor are slow but have strong resistance to strikes, and these are the main heavy aircraft carriers.
After comforting the technicians from China, Japan and Germany, and looking at the aircraft carrier that was taking shape, Yang Chao could only leave Shandong with regret. Whether he sees it or not, these things are being promoted, and the professionals of the Admiralty can support the development of a modern navy, and there is no need for too much intervention from a certain high-level, and there will be problems if there is too much intervention.
Yang Chao has been away from Siberia for more than half a year, it's time to go home to see his daughter-in-law, Olga has already sent telegrams many times, and the tone of the infatuated man and woman is very full.
This time by train.
Out of Zhangjiakou, into Chahar Province, with the increase in the population outside the Guan, Chahar also established a province, separate from Mongolia.
Chahar is not much to see, the fur, wool and livestock meat processing industry, it is impossible to feed too many people, the current 5 million is almost a limit, and the growth is limited.
The train runs on the vast and flat Mongolian steppe, a wide field of vision, sometimes you can see a herd of cattle and sheep on the meadow in the distance, the difference is that you can also see a simple wooden fence, farming has been popularized in Mongolia, according to the family unit, a poor Mongolian herdsman got their own pasture, and there are sheep and livestock provided by the government, and animal husbandry has naturally developed.
The Mongol princes gave a generous compensation, gave up their feudal power, and either went to the bustling big city to spend the rest of their lives, or stayed in the steppe and also ran animal husbandry, anyway, as a privileged class, the Mongol princes disappeared, the only thing that still has a little special right is Lamaism, the Mongols began to worship Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty also secretly supported the promotion of this belief, one is to maintain the stability of Mongolia, and the other is to limit the Mongolian population.
Various rumors in later generations that the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of reducing the number of men in Mongolia, stipulating the number of men in each tribe, and killing the excess, which is pure nonsense and rumor-mongering, and the political methods of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were quite clever, and in the north they implemented the joint Mongolian balance between the Han people, the Hui people, the Uyghur people and other ethnic groups, and in the south they supported the Han people to suppress the Miao people, Zhuang people and other southern ethnic groups.
Always inciting one nation against another, to ensure that the Manchus are always in the most advantageous position, except in the early stage, the Manchus are relying on political means, not military means to rule the country, because the Manchus are completely corrupted after more than ten years of entering the customs.
After the implementation of Tibetan Buddhism, the Mongols began to believe in Lamaism, coupled with the poor life on the grassland, many pious herdsmen in the family, if they gave birth to eight children, they would send seven to the temple, the result is that Mongolia in the Manchu rule of more than 200 years, the population almost did not grow, the population before the Manchu Qing entered the customs 200,000, the population before the fall of more than 5 million, the Mongols before the entry of the population of about 2 million, after the fall of the population is still about 2 million.
Yang Chao now also admires the lama, not to reduce the number of Ding, he believes that when more people can be fed, the Mongols will increase, but this people have learned to make peace with the Han Chinese, the economy on the Mongolian plateau is basically controlled by the Jin merchants, and the Mongols near the Great Wall speak basically Chinese.
However, due to the uneven moral level of the Jin merchants, and the relatively low level of education of the Mongols, the Mongols were not allowed to buy and sell pastures for the time being, nor were they allowed to borrow money from the Mongols.
Yang Chao believes that he treats the fraternal nation with his heart, and they will also treat the main nation with his heart, which is a two cultures that have been fighting for thousands of years, and it is time for the era of truce and integration, and in the end, the agricultural civilization represented by the Han people and the steppe nomadic civilization represented by Mongolia will be replaced by a new industrial civilization and integrated into this new civilization.
And now the signs are already there.
In Zhangjiakou, ********, Yang Chao has seen this trend, the Mongols grazing on the grassland, the production of beef and mutton, skin, wool, are sent to the city for processing, Zhangjiakou and ******** has become an industrial and commercial city with more than 50,000 people, especially Zhangjiakou population has long exceeded 100,000 people, is climbing to 200,000.
There are both traditional leather processing industry, as well as the emerging wool textile industry, as well as the transformation from the traditional to the use of machine processing felt, meat processing industry, these rely on animal husbandry to provide raw materials for industrial production, enough to support the rich life of 10 million people, the future generations of New Zealand relying on these industries, can become one of the richest countries in the world, the potential of the Mongolian grassland is not as good as a small New Zealand.
It's just that one thing is missing.
In Hohhao, Yang Chao told local officials: "Dairy products, can you go to the West to investigate, what kind of cheese, as well as fresh milk and milk powder, can you lobby the Ministry of Education, to provide students with a cup of milk every day, enough to feed two million people in Mongolia." ”
Chinese do not have the habit of eating dairy products, the border nomads obviously did not import their culture to the Han people in the mainland, the nutritional value of dairy products is still very high, it is said that the per capita height of the Dutch in later generations is the first in the world, and the quality of their cheese products is directly related to the first.
I talked to the local officials and encouraged them to develop a processing industry based on animal husbandry, telling them that this is a huge industry, an industry of the future, and that China does not have modern production experience, but Europe does not lack it.
Even: "I'm afraid there are a lot of such talents among the Germans in Shandong, you can go and try to recruit them, it doesn't cost much money, give a similar salary, and those Germans are willing to come." Now is a good time, and when the German economy improves, they will go back, but they will miss this opportunity. ”
Yang Chao said suddenly, the fall of a developed country is enough for many countries to eat, and the super prosperity of the United States in the twenties, if it were not for Germany, the biggest rival, was beaten down, it may not be able to support nearly ten years.
Leaving Hoh, the train will go directly to Kulun, there are no large cities in between, only some commercial towns developed on the railway, there is no need to stop. (To be continued.) )
