Far away in the Far East, Qingdao's shipyards are being built rapidly and orderly, for the engineering team in the northwest, they are a miracle team, starting from Baotou in 1908, gradually creating a miracle in the history of architecture, dozens of dock plans of Qingdao shipyards, a large number of road hardening, including the construction of buildings, the amount of earthwork is extremely huge.

Fortunately, although Qingdao shipyard is huge, it is in a place, no matter how big, it is only a dozen square kilometers, with the help of a large number of lifting machinery and construction machinery, the speed is very fast, if it is not for the various docks and so on have not been completely completed, transported from Europe, maybe this shipyard will be able to create a miracle, a miracle in half a year, or even a few months, to complete the production capacity of more than 500,000 tons of ships. Under the artificial power that comes from the future machinery, which is strong enough to change a qiē, coupled with the excellent command and control of the northwest, what miracle cannot be created.

The power of the sea, slowly condensed in the Far East, under the joint protection of the Northwest and Germany, no one knows, and Yang Yuanzhao, who is in Europe, has become the focus of attention, 1.5 billion US dollars, Germany has dropped more than 500 million, Britain has lost 400 million, and there are sporadic, the United States, Russia and many small European countries, these real money funds, just casually smashed in Europe, Yang Yuanzhao's reputation is also extremely loud, a strong figure from the Far East, the embodiment of wealth and power, These have become his new terms, countless celebrities "Lady, want to see Yang Yuanzhao, countless factories want to have a relationship with him, 1.5 billion, even if it is one thousandth. Even one in 10,000 is enough for many small factories to eat all-you-can-eat.

After looking at the submarine. Yang Yuanzhao's trip in Europe has come to an end. The money was spent, the things were smashed, and the copied things were obtained, which can be said to be very satisfying, and then after the implementation of the last cooperation, after the arrival of the engineering team that arrived in the current period, and after helping them coordinate with the German side, Yang Yuanzhao no longer needs to stay there.

The preparations for going back were made more than half a month ago. Yang Yuanzhao has been away from the northwest for too long, this is the first time in such a long time, he has left the northwest for such a long time, he is always not at ease when he directs the northwest remotely, this time he has got too many things, and for a long time in the future, he needs to stay in the northwest and put one by one on heavy industry. The things that play an important role in the machinery industry are produced, so that we can completely consolidate China's foundation, with more and more high-tech talents cultivated. With it, tens of millions, or even more industrial workers. The future must be getting faster and faster.

Germany got what they wanted, especially a $600 million order and support for heavy industry in the northwest. It can't be said that you don't pay attention to Yang Yuanzhao's stay, it's just not too important. Some polite inquiry, whether he can wait a few days and go back with the Far East Fleet, Yang Yuanzhao thought for a while, but still refused, on the one hand, there is a group of returning students, who need to go back with him on a ship, and there is a batch of equipment, the first batch of equipment will also go back together, the sooner these things go back, for the northwest, for the whole of China will be of great benefit.

As for personal safety, it has long been no longer a problem, now, Britain, France, Germany and the United States have signed certain agreements, even Russia, all because of him, signed almost more than 20 million US dollars of raw material imports, he is like a fortune boy, in the past few months, in the whole of Europe scattered almost 1.5 billion US dollars, this is not the dollar of later generations, this is no gold, huge investment, it is equivalent to a huge amount of gold, every country has eaten the sweetness, Germany and Britain are the most, but these two countries, It is also the most powerful in Europe at the moment, and no one counts anything.

The whistle sounded, waved to the crowd of farewells, the huge fleet sailed, this may be the largest fleet in this year, 80% of the second-hand cargo ships purchased from Britain, France, Russia and Germany were concentrated in this fleet, totaling more than 1.2 million tons of materials and personnel, forming a huge fleet, of course, after leaving, it will be divided into 12 different parts, each part is about 100,000 tons, for this reason, Yang Yuanzhao specially hired 24 destroyers from Britain and Germany, 2 ships per fleet for escort.

The momentum is too great, from Germany to China, the long sea frontier is more than 10,000 nautical miles, and the great powers will not take the initiative to attack them, but the pirates are not sure, there are so many pirates in the vast sea frontier, there are really no long-sighted comeovers, and the loss of the fleet will be great.

Whether it is friendly relations or the remuneration paid, Yingde readily agreed, among dozens of merchant ships, with warships to escort, on the one hand, Yang Yuanzhao has become a powerful figure in the world, has a certain influence, and even popularity, on the other hand, the price of a trip of 100,000 US dollars, 10 ships is 2 million US dollars, for the navy, this is a lot of additional income, which is almost the price of a cruiser below 5,000 tons.

Yang Yuanzhao is in the 3rd batch, which is also a batch of passenger ships, the power of protection here is a little more, a total of 6, 2 of which are hired, and the other 4 are not destroyers but cruisers, respectively from Britain and Germany, no matter what, there is always a point to talk about, Britain and Germany provided 2 cruisers for free to protect Yang Yuanzhao's safety, 4000-ton cruisers, in terms of speed, will not be much worse than destroyers, in terms of firepower and strength, it is much stronger than destroyers, It is a cutting-edge fast warship, unless it encounters the capital ship of a great power, otherwise, such a force is enough to deal with.

On the vast sponge, between the 12 parts, the separation is not too far, at most about 20 nautical miles, can echo each other, after all, there are too many ships, always together, it is not very convenient, it is easy to miss and there is an inconvenient situation of protection.

Because the returning fleet is all old ships, and there are no ships that exceed the Suez Canal, the return route is from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, through the Indian Ocean, Malacca, and directly to Qingdao, China, which is the final destination.

The third batch, with the same 10,000-ton cruise ship as Qingdao that sent those workers to before, such a cruise ship, a total of 12 in the northwest, among the old ships, the price paid for this is a little bigger,

The price of second-hand ships has dropped significantly compared to new ships, the entire ocean shipping, is definitely developing very rapidly, the eliminated ships, must be reduced to a certain extent, for example, the price of new ships is about 180-200, but the old ships, at most 50, only a quarter of the previous.

Cruise is an exception, the ship itself can be discounted when it is old, but the decoration, or the furnishings on the cruise ship, can not be too low, so the price of the cruise is generally around 70-100, the quality of the decoration, the price is relatively different, it is like this, the transaction volume of the second-hand cruise ship is very low, and it is not worth selling cheaply, but the operation continues, and it loses money, out of Yang Yuanzhao such a wealthy person, he doesn't care at all, no matter whether it is good or bad, a qiē wants, the price is above, won 23 15,000-ton 10,000-ton cruise ships at once, and the price also reached about 80 US dollars per ton, but the cost of this aspect was almost 30 million.

Yang Yuanzhao sees very clearly, in the future, in China's waters, and even between East Asia and Southeast Asia, the 10,000-ton class is a bit large, and the general luxury 5,000-ton class is good, and the North Pacific Airlines and the Central Pacific Ocean route can be used to 10,000 tons. At that time, money can't buy it.

Spent hundreds of millions of dollars, bought a large number of old ships from Europe, many critics believe that this is a loser who has money and nowhere to spend, with this money, to buy a batch of new ships, although the tonnage, may not be as good as these old ships, after all, the old ships are cheap, the average tonnage is estimated to be less than 30, but the tonnage of a single ship, operating costs, sailing speed and many other aspects, can definitely be called a complete explosion, how to measure, how to calculate the loss.

In this era, even if you have a discerning person, you may estimate that there will be a war between Britain and Germany, but you can't estimate that this war will be fought to the point of being as tragic as World War I, and the ultra-high-intensity war has directly affected all countries in the world, especially the shipping industry, not only raw materials and artificial skyrocketing, even the ship itself has risen to a terrifying level, when the time comes, let alone an old ship, as long as there is a ship, not a windsurfing board, even if it is a thousand tons, it is no longer a problem of expensive and cheap, not a problem of operating costs, There is no question of whether there is one.

From this point of view, when Yang Yuanzhao directly sells these ships, it is absolutely possible to make more than three times the profit, pick and choose from the middle, and leave a group of capable ones, which means that the money thrown by Europe this time is back, why not do such a business?

The whistle sounded, the boat has driven out of the Elbe River, just as the sun is setting, the golden sun shines on the sea water, it looks unusually good, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the calm sea, silently sighed, there is still more than a year, when the time comes, waiting for this sea water, it is not calm, but steel and war, countless people, countless steel, countless weapons, catch and kill here, the most tragic and cruel war in the world, will break out here, millions of people will die directly because of it, The hundreds of millions of direct and indirect influences have had a profound impact on the history of the entire world.
