Chapter 99: The Power of Capital Is Limitless

Sure enough, as Cheng Gong expected, the representatives of the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries saw the three high-power radial piston engines that Cheng Gong had brought out, and their eyes were green more like hungry wolves than hungry wolves.

Cheng Gong didn't prescribe any excessive conditions, and only needed to put into production four piston engine factories with an annual output of 50,000 units of nine-cylinder, 12-cylinder, 14-cylinder, and 18-cylinder star-cooled piston engines on Shuguang Island, and this technology could be shared by everyone.

Of course, Cheng Gong did not hide such a big matter from Hitler and Hirohito, and said quite generously that he could take these two old boys to play together. Of course, the conditions are the same as those of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, and two engine factories with an annual output of 1 million automobile engines will be put into operation on Akenobo Island.

Cheng Gong is all too clear about how much the aero engine and automobile engine industries have a huge thrust on a country's industrialization process.

In order to train tens of millions of peasants on Shuguang Island into qualified industrial workers, Cheng Gong could only hit the heads of industrially developed countries such as the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Dongying, the Soviet Union, and Italy, and asked them to send a large number of skilled workers, technicians, and engineers to Shuguang Island to take apprentices.

Cheng Gong's initial plan was to turn the entire nearly 500,000 square kilometers of land on Shuguang Island into a huge technical school that could not only conduct vocational skills training, but also engage in industrial production.

Even if the current Shuguang Island is still quite primitive and backward, Cheng Gong does not need to sell his own resources and labor in exchange for machinery and equipment, key materials and components from developed industrial countries to enter large-scale machine production.

Cheng Gong only needs to sacrifice the "magic weapon" of technology and wave the gold and Asian dollar check in his hand to enable the developed countries of Europe and the United States to establish a complete steel, metallurgy, chemical, mechanical, and electronic backbone industries on Shuguang Island. This is also the fundamental mark that distinguishes developed countries from backward countries.

It is a developed country that has a complete and comprehensive backbone industry, and can design and manufacture all modern products.

Of course, the premise is that there is a human resources education and training system that is compatible with the backbone industries.

In order to implement the human resources education and training system on Shuguang Island as soon as possible, Cheng Gong is currently investing the most human, material and financial resources in Shuguang Island, which is to eradicate illiteracy for all.

Literacy work is an important evaluation index that Cheng Gong put forward to the cabinet headed by Lawrence Rockefeller.

At a time when everyone thought that the government functional institutions formed by the Donghui Kingdom through auction were the grass platform team of the playhouse, Cheng Gong suddenly came up with a complete set of integral assessment mechanisms for the cabinet.

This performance appraisal is not only linked to the gold pledged by various countries in the Donghui treasury, but also closely linked to the annual technical quota.

In Cheng Gong's words, this king does not look at the process, but only at the result.

If the points of any functional department are deducted, then I'm sorry, get out of the house immediately. Not only did the gold not be returned, but it would also be included in the blacklist of countries that were not friendly to Donghui, and all of Donghui's high-end technologies have since been blockaded and embargoed against the country.

In this way, from the five cabinet ministers to the functional departments and committees at all levels, no one dares to take it lightly and use it as a child's play.

If this were not the case, Lawrence Rockefeller and the other five cabinet ministers would not have been so nervous after learning that Cheng Gong had spent 2,000 tons of gold to purchase weapons and equipment, and they would not have stopped until Cheng Gong had to explain the truth of the matter.

You must know that the performance appraisal point mechanism imposed on them by Cheng Gong corresponds to a set of rules and regulations and corresponding laws and regulations. The reward and punishment system is clear and strict. It is the rule of law through and through, not the rule of man.

None of the people who can participate in the auction are ordinary people. Everyone has a staff team behind them, and even if they are the worst, there are one or two kobold military advisors as senior staff members.

Under the deliberation of the five cabinet ministers, and in accordance with the wishes of His Majesty the King, Akenoshima was defined as two administrative provinces of the Donghui Kingdom:

Zhennan Province (Papua Province) and Dingnan Province (Irian Jaya Province).

Zhennan Province borders Australian New Guinea in the east, Dingnan Province in the west, the Pacific Ocean in the north, and the Arafura Sea in the south, with a land area of 319036 square kilometers, the capital is Nanhua City, and has jurisdiction over 14 prefectures and cities, 122 counties (cities and districts).

Dingnan Province is located in the northwestern part of the island of New Guinea and includes the islands of Weiji, Misool and the Laja Ampat Islands. With an area of 115364 square kilometers, Shenpeng City, the provincial capital, has jurisdiction over 5 prefectures and cities and 56 counties (cities and districts).

Zhennan Province has abundant mineral and natural gas resources, rich in gold, silver, platinum, iron, copper, coal, marble, kaolin and other mineral resources, and is the region with the largest copper reserves in the world, with an estimated reserve of 2 billion tons. Based on this, Zhennan Province is characterized as a major province for the development of heavy industry. Heavy industry projects that have broken ground so far include:

Tiangong non-ferrous metal smelter, the world's largest copper smelting base invested by the Donghui royal family, adopts the world's most advanced flash smelting and flash blowing technology to treat copper concentrate, with a total investment of 30 million Asian dollars, and is expected to be put into operation in March 1939, when it can produce 400,000 tons of copper cathode per year, 1.55 million tons of sulfuric acid, as well as comprehensive recycling products of gold, silver and other resources. All kinds of resources in the production process will be effectively utilized, the total capture rate of sulfur in production will reach more than 99%, and the recycling rate of water will reach more than 98%, which is the real meaning of clean and environmentally friendly green smelting.

a steel complex invested by U.S. Steel Corporation, with an annual output of 10 million tons of steel; The refinery invested by the Rockefeller family plans to produce 5 million tons of gasoline and diesel per year; The special steel manufacturing enterprise invested by the German company Rheinmetall plans to produce 3 million tons of various types of special steel annually; The world-class pharmaceutical plant invested by DuPont will achieve an annual output of 200,000 tons of penicillin, streptomycin and sulfonamides;

The tractor manufacturing plant invested by the Soviet Union plans to produce 20,000 crawler tractors, 60,000 wheeled tractors, 10,000 100 series diesel engines, 1,500 road rollers, 500 off-road trucks, and also produces forklifts, fuel pumps, generator sets, tobacco machinery, pressure vessels and other 6 series of more than 50 products.

Donghui Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group, invested by Portsmouth Shipyard in the United Kingdom, covers an area of 7.2 million square meters, and the layout of workshops and various facilities adopts the scheme proposed by Cheng Gong, which can maximize shipbuilding efficiency, and has 9 dry docks, which can build ships of various sizes and types according to requirements.

The world's largest textile mill invested by France is planned to have 480,000 spindles, more than 10,000 employees, 8 spinning workshops and 3 weaving workshops. One of the weaving workshops has already started production, specializing in the weaving of denim. The mill's planned yarn output is estimated at 5,600 tonnes per month, of which cotton yarn accounts for 60%;

Covering an area of 4.8 million square meters and with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million vehicles, the world-class automobile manufacturing plant jointly invested by Donghui, Germany and Dongying mainly produces minicars, sedans, SUVs, trucks and light commercial vehicles.

On the basis of the development of heavy industry centered on energy, machinery and raw materials as the pillar industries, Zhennan Province has also started construction of eight non-ferrous smelters, eight mines, one coal plant, one ammonia plant, 32 machine tool manufacturing plants, 16 power and power machinery factories, seven chemical plants, 10 thermal power plants, 17 hydroelectric power stations, two pharmaceutical factories and a large food processing plant.

According to the development plan of Donghui's First Five-Year Plan, by the end of 1943, the existing production capacity would be more than three times higher than that of ferrous metallurgy, non-ferrous metallurgical smelting, coal, petroleum, machine manufacturing industry, power machinery manufacturing, and chemical industry.

If we add the three large-scale engine manufacturing complexes with an annual output of 50,000 aero engines of various types and two large engine manufacturing complexes with an annual output of 1 million automobile engines, which are jointly invested by the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Germany, Dongying, Italy, and other countries, Zhennan Province will undoubtedly take a big step forward in the development of its heavy industrial system, and gradually form a large industrial power province with its own industrial system.
