Chapter 641: Mobilizing Workers
Both sides are very sincere, and the next thing will be much faster, after reaching the basic intention, Yang Yuanzhao also sent a report to the northwest for preliminary preparations.
In Yang Yuanzhao's view, how many skilled workers from Germany can be obtained is directly related to the key to how much role the shipyard can really play in the future, and it is also related to how many workers the northwest can train in the future.
The tone of the telegram was direct, and 500 people were selected from the skilled workers of the Jiangnan shipyard, and 2,500 workers who were currently on standby and training in Qingdao were selected, plus a total of 8,000 people from the northwest side, above level 4, and related to shipbuilding.
Time waits for no one, it is almost 1913, and the war is about to break out in 1914, and a year and a half, even if it is in the early stage, will not affect the country, but the task of arming China must be done, which is related to the direction and position of China during the First World War.
Among them, the army doesn't have to worry about it at all, not to mention that now with the support of Yang Yuanzhao, the tank has appeared, not the late stage of World War I, the kind of tank that appeared in Britain and France that is not even a prototype, directly entered the practical stage, relying on the huge engine and machining capacity of the northwest, this tank is directly the standard in the early days of World War II, a full 20 years of generational difference, will make the northwest army like a tiger with wings, huge war mobilization capacity plus reasonable weapons, comprehensive training, the combat effectiveness of the northwest army is absolutely top.
But the Navy is different, the 100-year-old Navy is definitely not a joke, although with the help of technological superiority. The Northwest can reduce the distance with foreign powers without going through several major wars. And how can it establish the status of the navy.
There is no outlet to the sea in the northwest, not near the coast. It seems that the great powers, especially the British and French navies, cannot threaten the northwest, but once there is no external involvement, when the powers divide the victory and defeat, they will not care whether it is your territory or not, when the time comes, 18,000 kilometers, or even the future maritime frontier of Southeast Asia. It needs his maintenance, even if it is a pile, it needs to be piled up a pile of warships, even if it is a form, like Germany in World War I, as a battleship with a zài character, it is a huge threat.
In this case, the time is quite short, and the sooner the dock is built. The sooner it is put into production, the more earth-shaking changes will be made in the strength of the Northwest, and it will be used well in more than a year. A lot of things can be changed.
The mobilization capacity of the northwest is impressive, 5,000 people in the northwest. It's almost 2 days away, and it's easier for 2,500 people in Qingdao. It was there, and now there is a mission. It's good to just mobilize it.
However, the order reached the Jiangnan Shipyard of 500 people, a little difficult, some of them were sent from the northwest, and now they have been integrated into the Jiangnan Shipyard, their transfer will definitely have an impact, not to mention the employees of the Jiangnan Shipyard itself. Nie Yuntai felt that it was the best stage of the shipyard's business, and at this time, rashly transferring these people would have some impact on the shipyard, and if the order could not be completed, it would be bad, not only would there be no way to make a profit, but it would have to be compensated.
This matter is arranged very urgently, especially in the northwest, which has been repeatedly requested by Yang Yuanzhao, this task must be carried out at the highest level, and must be carried out without discount, when the information is fed back to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao frowned, thought for a while, and solved the problem with a telegram.
These 500 people can be said to be the key among the 8,000 people, of which 300 are the workers of the Jiangnan Shipyard, who have been in the production line, and have been baptized and promoted in the northwest, and have mastered some higher-level machine tools and other tools.
You must know that the first batch of workers to support Qingdao was only 180 people, which was slightly enough for the preliminary foundation laying work, but any dock that wanted to give the dreadnought class, without one or two thousand workers, could not run at all, even if the workers from the northwest were used to fill the low-level posts, this number could not be reduced to 600, that is, 3, and 1,800 people were needed, which was the basis for the Northwest to get German workers at present.
The maximum to get 3600 people, at least, is to ensure 600 people, that is, the standard of 1200 qualified people in the northwest, even if it is a patchwork, it must be at the beginning, to meet the standards of the dock, 600 people are essential, when the first dock is completed, the follow-up design and manufacturing work, can be carried out smoothly.
Yang Yuanzhao's method of solving this problem is relatively simple, that is, the 500 workers transferred from the Jiangnan Shipyard, no matter how short there is, Yang Yuanzhao can mobilize twice as many people from the northwest to fill the gap in the Jiangnan Shipyard.
Nie Yuntai understands shipbuilding, but he is not an expert, but he is extremely satisfied with the workers in the northwest, and he has a clear understanding of the understanding of the workers in the northwest, the level of the workers in the northwest is quite high, with their help, the Jiangnan shipyard has reduced a lot of costs with the help of these skilled workers, and even the speed of production has been much faster than the original.
With double the supplement, because of the transfer of a large number of workers, the unpleasantness brought by it quickly disappeared, he thought in his heart that with these workers, how much production capacity would be strengthened, but he did not think that these workers, maybe not as good as he thought, can be more familiar with shipbuilding workers were transferred out, new workers, their level is very high, but they may not be familiar with shipbuilding, need to be familiar step by step, of course, double the number, plus the number of personnel transferred, the impact will not be great.
The biggest problem was overcome, no matter what, the mobilization of personnel was completed, Yang Yuanzhao informed the German and American personnel to make advance arrangements for the placement of personnel, these 8,000 people must be near the shipyard, in the previous agreement with Germany, first need to enter the dock near Berlin, on the Elbe.
Germany is a cautious nation, even if it gets Yang Yuanzhao's guarantee, you can try it first, which is equivalent to Germany transferring most of the dangers to the northwest, and it has not generously let these workers directly replace the workers in the battleship dock, first starting from a small military shipyard, transferring some personnel here, and then adjusting some personnel too much, even if the northwest personnel are unreliable, it will not have a huge impact.
For this, Yang Yuanzhao has no way to change, in his heart, he even thinks that it is better to do this, starting from the foundation, starting from the bottom, and being able to learn a little bit through the improvement step by step, if you really want to arrange people to the battleship dock, that is an absolute handyman, I am afraid that after 10 years, it is just an ordinary handyman, and I can't do a higher Cheng dù, which is not much for the northwest.
Since it is near Berlin, then Berlin must have a foothold, although the German side will arrange temporary footholds, but those are just simple tents or some old buildings and the like. Yang Yuanzhao sent people out to work, not for the kind of money, he had to work hard for those who were far away from the motherland, far away in a foreign country, and for the northwest, and he couldn't let them live casually.
The reason why the Northwest has been able to achieve such a great effect today is that on the one hand, Yang Yuanzhao is a traverser and has an all-in-one machine, and on the other hand, it is not that Yang Yuanzhao has attached importance to the people at the bottom from the very beginning.
4 years have proved that Yang Yuanzhao is successful, and if there is more money, he will either save it or consume it, which is the best way for the government to send out the money and come back, and in the process of circulation, countless values have been generated, which is the best means of control.
If it was only about 8,000 people, and if they bought a building at random, it would be about the same, but thinking that there were still a large number of engineers stationed around them, they decided to apply to the German side for a place to resettle.
The mayor of Berlin is very aware of Yang Yuanzhao's status in Germany's high-level management, and he also knows a little that Germany's current urbanization is not too high, and it has not yet exceeded 15%, and there is a large amount of vacant land in the suburbs around Berlin, just the right to use, nothing else, it is to pay real money to buy land, and after a little consideration, it will be approved.
40 hectares of land, not big, but not small, equivalent to 600 acres, if built six or seven floors of ordinary housing, according to the plot ratio of about 3.5, without considering the greening, about 1.4 million square meters of residential area, with 25 square meters of single rooms is 56,000 single rooms, with 4 people in a room, enough to accommodate 200,000 people as a dormitory.
Of course, there can be no greenery at all, and it can't be all single rooms, this piece is just a foothold, for the future, when the war begins, when there is a labor shortage in Germany, he can fully support this plan, go further in, expand the complex, so that he can accommodate more workers.
Delineate the scope, start construction, a small engineering team to explain the role of the role came in handy, although the lack of necessary machinery, but they can operate on the machinery that Germany currently has, the most important thing is that the next day, Yang Yuanzhao used the all-in-one machine, made a number of small machinery, this one was later named the large residential area of the Chinese workers' home, in November 1912, began to start construction, its appearance, in later generations, is considered to be an important basis for cooperation between Germany and China.
