Baotou began to enter the stage of adjustment, the industrial and military adjustments are also carried out at the same time, for Yang Yuanzhao, the road step by step, the layout has begun to slowly deepen, now in addition to the northwest of the whole of China, after the formation of two major military groups of confrontation, for the time being, the northwest is not very convenient to go in, only the West is the opportunity, for the northwest, all kinds of resources are the focus, population, as long as the measures in the northwest have remained unchanged, the business of the northwest, on the original basis, Under the condition of continuous improvement, in this way, the northwest will return to a steady stream of talents, and the east will become a training base for basic talents, after the initial training, you can enter the northwest and become qualified workers, after a series of training, you will return to become a worker in the west to create zào value.

The most difficult industry is always the beginning, from scratch, from no category to all categories, the previous 4 years, under Yang Yuanzhao's tendency and the golden finger of the all-in-one machine, Baotou completed the construction of this preliminary industrial category, starting from light industry, entering heavy industry, almost at a speed unimaginable to others, completed the most basic construction, and now has a targeted arrangement for World War I, it can be said unceremoniously that the speed of the northwest to wartime production is earlier than other countries, and it is much faster.

Opportunities are always for those who are ready again, and this point, Baotou has proved with facts that the order has hardly been brought by Bordo, but the production of the order has been carried out in Baotou, which is faster and better quality.

Bordo is in this context, came to Baotou, he saw the situation in Baotou, almost the tip of the iceberg, he arrived in Beijing, from the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway to Zhangjiakou, has been known by Baotou, his arrival, was personally received by Yang Yuanzhao, Bordo took out the German military order, 10 to one, let Yang Yuanzhao choose, Yang Yuanzhao consciously let Baotou's industry to military production, these, are the direction of the conversion, did not exceed the range, he smiled slightly, to:" Your Excellency Bordo, you have underestimated our strength in Baotou, and we have taken all these lists, and we can go back with Your Excellency Bordo. ”

"What?" Bordo was a little stunned, he also knew that these orders may have been produced by Baotou before, but a certain amount of dù on the stage, which means that Baotou has the ability to produce, and the production capacity is quite good, the most important thing is the 100,000 sets of individual equipment, is it possible, Baotou gave up the equipment belonging to their army, but Baotou is not facing the positive pressure of Russia?

"President Yang, you tell me the truth, 10 orders of things, what is your production capacity, if you can, we will order a large number of them."

"This, let's put it this way, this is probably less than our production capacity in a week?" Yang Yuanzhao looked at the order and said calmly, a week, even in his feelings, he still said more, but more than 20 million equipment, after the restructuring from Baotou, the formation of seven groups, in terms of policy and capital are quite tilted, in this case, the constant production of these, will be faster!

"What!" Bordo said with confusion and astonishment.

Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that there was no basis for his words, and the development of Baotou may be beyond the imagination of anyone in this world in a certain way, so he took the order, found the relative warehouse, and instructed the workers to extract the things on the order.

Bordeaux didn't expect that it would be such a result, he just came with an order, and got all the orders, with shock, with the products of the order, went back together, as a soldier, he knew very well that the technical content of this order was not high, but it occupied a lot of manpower, so a small order, but it was a more important order, if it could be handed over to China for production, it would become the beginning of the relationship between China and Germany.

After Moltke received the telegram from Bordo, he was slightly strange, but Baotou, to be able to produce this, a certain amount of dù above, for Germany's help, will be very large, since it is a week's production capacity, then simply, just place a 2-month order, 55 million marks, a certain amount of dù, can allow Germany to save 2 weeks of workers, to work in more important places.

The order of 55 million marks, since it has been accepted and verified, of course, the funds have been allocated, for ordinary Germans, 55 million marks, can be said to be a completely unimaginable huge number, but for the country, it is simply insignificant, and the battleships of the British war readiness race, the cost of one is only between 50 million and 60 million marks, Bavaria-class, and 4 ships have been started at the same time, which is only part of the Navy's shipbuilding plan.

The price of low-grade products and military necessities is not high in the northwest, even if the cost of shipping is added, it is only about the same as Germany, and China's huge population advantage and labor advantage have produced a huge effect, and after determining this, Germany began to pay.

In this way, Yang Yuanzhao connected with Germany, and the factory that switched production began to have orders, full production, including not only part of the military industry, most of the individual equipment, including some materials that are needed, such as canned food, the army's ready-to-eat dry food, with the help of the vision of later generations, Yang Yuanzhao even created a single soldier dry food using quicklime, which can allow individual soldiers to get hot food in the case of water in the field, which has almost been recognized by the German Army.

The acquisition of orders and the improvement of military revenues have made the top management of Baotou begin to realize that Yang Yuanzhao is strong, and there will naturally be a market for profits, and more and more families and enterprises have joined it, and Baotou's pace has not slowed down, not only in mass production at the same time, but also hoarding a part of the resources, which will be accumulated before the war, and used in the war, will obtain considerable benefits.

Baotou also began to quietly accumulate various resources related to the war, steel is not used, but copper, munitions, explosives, etc., are also prepared. Baotou began to switch to military production, most of which factories, obtained a large number of foreign orders, from Germany, to Austria-Hungary, and even Turkey, the production began to gradually enlarge, the same products, Baotou is not only good quality, but also much lower than their domestic production prices, a certain amount of dù above, bilateral trade and so on gradually expanded, starting from 55 million marks, gradually expanded to, 200 million marks per month, or even more, under the situation of increasing orders, Germany is also testing the limit of Baotou's production capacity, but no matter how they increase the order, Baotou is easy to follow, there is no sign of stopping, this ease of ease, let out of the German War Department, outside the General Staff, more and more high-level government began to realize the strength of Baotou, cooperation projects are not limited to the military industry, began to expand to other aspects.

Although for many domestic chaebols, the Baghdad Railway was handed over to China, which represents a huge transfer of interests, but the importance of the Baghdad Railway, both the General Staff and the War Department are very clear, which almost connects Germany's allies, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and most importantly, the strong production capacity shown in the northwest, the supply capacity of raw materials, In the event of a war between Britain and Germany, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea would definitely be closed off by the Entente.

The state, especially Germany, was anxious to break the British monopoly and redistribute the interests of Europe and even the world, and the interests of the plutocracy, in some way, were negligible, and any interests had to be conceded to the national interests, and almost as quickly as possible, the parliament passed a resolution to agree to the construction of the Baghdad railway in the northwest on the basis of an agreement with Britain in 1912.

German diplomats began to become trapeze artists again, going back and forth between Istanbul and Vienna, of course, London in England and Paris in France are also the focus, the difference is that the alliance is to show strength, while Britain and France are to delay as much as possible, Britain and France do not want to appear in the Middle East, the emergence of German spheres of influence, what they have done before has proved this, the war is about to begin, everyone knows what the appearance of a Baghdad railway represents at this moment.

The desert area of Iraq, here is an inaccessible place, which is also a major difficulty in construction, Baotou here, there is work experience from Baotou to Kulun, and the railway corps is also sent, and the elite first, second and fourth engineering bureaus have recently been elite, with a total of 150,000 people, a huge construction corps, all of a sudden the German side was shocked, they thought that the northwest might use the tactics of crowds to build, but they did not expect that it would be 150,000 people so huge.

150,000 people will be divided into 10 different sections, each section, almost more than 240 kilometers, 150,000 people, on hundreds of ships, transported a large number of machinery and equipment, in terms of construction personnel, it is dozens of times more than the number of people in Germany, because the efficiency of the equipment has been almost doubled. In this way, the construction can be guaranteed to be completed within 18 months.

In order to support this construction, Germany specially sent a 40,000-ton giant ship for transportation, more than 2,400 kilometers of land, according to the standard of a single line, almost 400,000 tons of rails are needed, after transporting personnel, a large number of rails at one time, are transported to Baghdad, 10 different sections, almost at the same time, began to carry out, no, the speed began to spread, in this desert area, there is a lifeline is going on.
