Chapter Seventy-Eight: Plans and Changes (Part II)
Update time: 202——
Wang Tiehammer took a few mouthfuls of crabs, threw the shell, and asked very puzzledly, "It's not that alternating current is king, how to invent a DC generator." ”
Bai Baoxiang said with a smile: "This is to make trouble for Europe and the United States, if they get a powerful DC engine, then the history of using alternating current will be greatly delayed." ”
Lin Youde stopped after eating mussels, and he added: "We know that alternating current is the right direction, but if the direct current supply in Europe and the United States is larger and cheaper than in history, then the alternating current power generation industry in Europe and the United States will be a cold winter, and then the bend will be bigger than in history." ”
Yunlan shouted, "Is that necessary, as far as I know, alternating current was only made by Tesla in the year, and at this time, we are already behemoths." ”
Bai Baoxiang shook his head again and again and said, "Xiaoyun, you made a mistake. The three-phase system was completed in 70 years, and the three-phase system is the foundation of alternating current and the cornerstone of the electrification industry. ”
Lin Youde tilted his neck, a glass of rice wine went down, he put down the cup and added: "Lao Bai is right. When Europe and the United States realize that they have taken a detour and want to change, we will use edge patents to block the three-phase system. ”
"Edge patents?"
Lin Youde nodded and said, "Anyway, it's a patent barrier." For example, it has applied for patents for the manufacture of high-purity copper, patents for magnetic coil windings, patents for several commonly used high-efficiency bearings, patents for a wide range of components for several alloys, and even patents for silicon steel sheet bonding cores, so that Europe and the United States cannot bypass it, and then blockade it. ”
Lin You's German was hideous, "When the time comes, our national strength will be strong, and Europe and the United States will have to ask us to buy patents if they want to build transformers. In the end, AC power will become a luxury, and the electrification industry in Europe and the United States will become their nightmare, and they can only live in our Taiwanese industrial area. ”
"Here, give him a drink!" Lin Youde said something that everyone's eyes were full of stars.
"Taiwan Industrial Zone~~~" Qian Shuiting put down the chopsticks in his hand and raised his wine glass, "Lao Wang, the capture of Taiwan requires a strong military force, and your military department must seize the time to reorganize and train the troops." I'm going to Dunang Island in two days, and I'm waiting there for news of your attack on Taiwan. ”
"!" After drinking the wine, Wang Tiezhu said, "Old Qian, Chairman Bai, I discussed with Shui Wuxian and Li Da on the boat, and used these two days to rest and recuperate to form a regular army unit." We plan a class of 2 people; A company is three platoons and nine squads, plus the company headquarters and logistics personnel, and the full number is 0 people. Three infantry companies, plus a machine gun company, five hundred men is exactly the number of our existing reserves. This way, by the end of the year, the army could be expanded to two battalions. At the beginning of the stance, two infantry battalions were enough. The cadre deployment plan, which is available in the Xiaoyun organization department, is our request report, and we will send it to the executive committee later. ”
"Ahem!" Bai Baoxiang coughed twice, "Lao Wang, the situation is a little changed now, early next year, we need at least three battalions of troops." ”
"Three battalions?"
"According to the information found, there was an earthquake in Keelung in June 67, and the earthquake also caused a tsunami, and the wave height may reach four ~ six meters, but this is a serious threat to the planned Keelung shipyard."
"Tsunami?!" Wang Tiezhu gasped, "So, our coal-steel complex is also dangerous?" ”
"The coal-steel consortium is not a big problem, just put them on the front line in Taipei." Qian Shuiting told Wang Tiezhu, "It's just that Taipei doesn't have a deep-water port, and in the long run, for the sake of the 10,000-ton warships in the future, the shipyard must be put in Kaohsiung." ”
Wang Tiezhu asked uneasily, "There is a tsunami in Keelung, what about Kaohsiung?" It would be terrible if there was also a tsunami in Kaohsiung. ”
Bai Baoxiang smiled, "That's reassuring." Although it is recorded that there was a tsunami in Kaohsiung in June 66, the power was very small, and there were only waves between 50~0cm within the coast of 00km. ”
At this time, the tide was rising, and the tide was rushing back and forth, wave after wave towards the sea pond.
Wang Tiehammer listened to the surging tide and the crescent moon on the sea, and the chopsticks in his hand were held in the air, and sighed, "Uh! Planning is not as good as change. ”
The strength of the Qing army in Taiwan is nearly 10,000, and the strength of the crossing regiment is limited, so it is impossible to wipe out the Qing army at once and control the whole of Taiwan. The team originally planned to land in Keelung at the beginning of '55, first control northern Taiwan, and then develop forces, expanding to Tainan; Later, in order to obtain Miaoli's oil resources as soon as possible, under the strong recommendation of the industrial department and the navy, the executive committee adjusted the plan, and the initial goal was to directly take the area north of Miaoli Da'an River.
Lin Youde took a sip of wine, "This is also something that can't be helped, we can't build a gantry crane for a 10,000-ton battleship, and we can't manufacture and install it for a considerable period of time." You can only buy equipment from the original time and space, and then ask someone to travel through time and space to come over for installation and commissioning. ”
He waved his fist, "Therefore, we must take Kaohsiung at the beginning of next year, build a shipyard, prepare the dock, slipway and production workshop, and strive to have the gantry crane installed in place in the second half of the year." ”
"In this case, the puppets can only adopt frog jumping tactics, first take the area from Keelung to the north of Da'an Creek, and then frog jump to take Kaohsiung."
Yun Lan shouted, "That's right, that's it. ”
"So you need at least one infantry company in the Keelung area, and there will be coal mines and ports to be built there; Taipei is a large area, and if it is necessary to build a coal-iron complex, it is necessary to place two companies, so that it is a battalion. Miaoli Da'anxi confronted the Qing army, and it was necessary to build oil fields and petrochemical plants, and it was necessary to place a battalion; Kaohsiung has to place at least two infantry companies, so that a total of ** companies of troops are needed, and there is also a battalion of mobile troops. We need to develop at least 2,000 army units by the end of this year. ”
Wang Tiehammer calculated for a long time, and slapped his chopsticks on the table, "This is no problem, our military group will absolutely obey the plan and arrangement of the Executive Committee, and strive to expand the army to 3,000 people." ”
And then he said,
While eating and chatting, Qian Shuiting mentioned the issue of immigration, saying that although the Executive Committee has set a development strategy centered on Taiwan, North America cannot give up.
"In 50 years, there will be 110,000 people in California." Qian Shuiting was very excited, he thought that the West Coast of the United States is still a sparsely populated pioneer land, and if he doesn't work hard now, it will be difficult to get a piece of land in the future.
"I agree with Mr. Qian's law." Yunlan was infected by Qian Shuiting and thought that he should immigrate to North America and control a piece of territory first.
"I'm embarrassed." Lin Youde was very disapproving, "Our strength is limited, and we can only focus on building an industrial base." In 60 years, the Anglo-French coalition army is about to be killed, and in just five years, I think it will be very difficult for us to build a society of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of workers, and countless ordnance in Taiwan. In this case, it is really embarrassing to consider stretching out one more foot. ”
Yunlan's neck immediately turned red, "Let the two crows go, what does it matter, China is here anyway, and you can't run away." If we don't act in time, California won't be ours. ”
"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Hearing that Yunlan's tone was wrong, Bai Baoxiang hurriedly stopped, "Everyone speak freely, just don't get angry." ”
Wang Tiehammer said at this time: "As soon as the two crows are released, the Old Summer Palace will be gone." This garden is so good that I would like to make it the seat of the National Defense University. ”
"Go, go!" Qian Shuiting said with a smile, "Your troops can't think of good things, this garden should be owned by the Executive Committee, and a university town should be run there." ”
"Do you still want to run a preparatory school for studying in the United States?"
"In these years, we are the masters of the world, let's go with sweet potatoes."
A burst of laughter made the hot atmosphere just now a lot easier.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased down, Bai Baoxiang calculated an account for everyone, "From 40 to 99, China's industrial workers have grown to 2 million, and in five years (one-tenth of the time), the population of Taiwan Island, which accounts for less than one percent of the country, concentrates financial and material resources, and immediately has hundreds of projects, thousands of people in each project, and it is not impossible to develop hundreds of thousands of workers, but it is definitely a rocket, and we don't have so many management personnel." ”
Lin Youde said, "This is too difficult, this is an industrial worker, a skilled industrial worker, not a simple coolie." ”
"You can catch the big and let go of the small." Yunlan disagreed, "That is, Keelung Coal Mine, Taipei Steel Plant, Taipei Machinery Factory, Kaohsiung Shipyard, Miaoli Oilfield, and Petrochemical Plant are larger and have more workers, and other projects cannot be very large, so private capital, European and American capital can come in." ”
All of you agreed to let go of private capital. But for European and American capital, Lin Youde has doubts, he feels that the technology of the crossing group is too advanced, and if there is a technical leak, it will be chaotic, after all, the European and American powers have a strong foundation.
Qian Shuiting thinks that this is very simple, the industrial zone is divided into levels, our high-tech industries are all placed in the secret industrial zone, and Europeans and Americans can only operate in the designated industrial park.
After discussions, all participants agreed that it is better to concentrate efforts on building Taiwan well.
Yunlan was a little stunned, "I also understand everyone's opinions, but I am a little reluctant to the West Coast, this is a treasure land." ”
Seeing that Yunlan's mood was not high, Bai Baoxiang opened his fingers and told everyone the memorabilia of North America, in 60 years, Lincoln was elected president, in 6 years the Civil War broke out, in 6 years, the Pacific Railroad started, the Civil War ended in 65 years, and the Pacific Railroad was opened to traffic in 69 years.
"Xiaoyun, old money, don't worry. There is still time, as long as the Pacific Railroad is not open for a day, the West Coast has our chances. He waved his hand, "As long as we develop Taiwan well, after five years, we will naturally have enough manpower and material resources to enter North America." ”
Yunlan thought for a while, "As long as the West Coast can't run away, I have no opinion!" ”
Qian Shuiting and others also expressed their support.
Bai Baoxiang continued, "But North America also needs to be well planned, I think we should concentrate the manpower and material resources of the North American rudder south of Los Angeles, where there is a natural harbor of San Diego, and it is also close to our iron ore mines in Mexico, so we can establish a sphere of influence in the border area between the United States and Mexico, and if conditions permit, we can also immigrate appropriately." ”
"We don't have to do it ourselves." Qian Shuiting made a supplementary suggestion, "There are a large number of displaced people on the mainland, and we have iron ore in Mexico, which can smelt mature iron ingots. We only provide the goods, and let the ghost animal transport ship take care of the transportation back and forth. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, "This method is good, North America purchases a large number of displaced people, we purchase a large number of wrought iron ingots, and let the American Chamber of Commerce be responsible for supply." ”
"One is health and epidemic prevention, the other is the Taiwan strategy, and the other is the North American strategy." After Bai Baoxiang asked Yunlan to go back, he drafted the results of these discussions into an official document and sent them to all members of the executive committee for them to read in circles.
"As for the army's development plan~~~" Bai Baoxiang glanced at Wang Tiehammer, "Lao Wang, you have to quickly take out the written materials and let the Military Commission read and approve them." ”
"It's not just army planning, it's also the navy." Wang Tiezhui also raised the issue of the navy, and he told Bai Baoxiang that the plan was already in place, and the written materials could be sorted out tonight.
