"Big brother, I firmly believe that the European war will be a protracted war, which is determined by the backward strategy of European countries, we are just preparing earlier, preempting the first, but at this time European countries have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, hunger and food, so our profits are still limited, and once a period of time has passed, the United States will inevitably wake up, with the strength of the United States, it is not at all that we can compare, what we can do is to try our best to improve our production capacity, buy more machine tools and equipment!"

Qiao Cheng listened carefully to Qiao Yu's words, and couldn't help nodding, "Third brother, do you have something you ask me to do, otherwise you won't tell me this!" ”

"There are really some things that ask my eldest brother for help, I hope you can go to the United States, I should have go, but now I can't leave Sichuan, our president is eyeing it, so I hope that my eldest brother can go to the United States!"

"I didn't say it, who called us brothers, I'm going to go to the United States, but do you have any specific explanation?"

"Big brother, the task of this trip is definitely a lot, first you have to purchase a batch of equipment, improve Sichuan's industrial production capacity, this time our main goal is a variety of machine tools, we have to produce their own large machines, can not rely on imports alone, only can produce everything by themselves, we can really read up, second I hope you can supervise the situation of the North American stock market, although we sent some people to be responsible for the operation of funds, but the amount of money is too huge, this is also the capital of Sichuan's next development, There must not be any accidents, the third big brother, you still have to contact the overseas Chinese, it is best to pull them to our side, of course, we are not like Sun Cannon to fool other people's money, fool other people's children, we want the North American Chinese to send their educated children back to China, to make up for the lack of Sichuan workers, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation! ”

"The third child, I can do this kind of work, but I don't know much about finance, and I don't have any dealings with overseas forces, I'm afraid it's difficult to do it!"

"It's okay, I'll send you a few assistants, Song Jiaoren's original bodyguard is named Luo Ying, his father is a big guy in Hongmen in North America, I asked him to accompany you, I will send a few experts who are familiar with finance to you, and I will let Li Zongru lead a team of agents to escort you!"

"Hehe, since you think so perfectly, I can't shirk it, I'll go right away!"

After discussing the matter, Qiao Yu brought Zhou Jun, the mayor of Chongqing, over, Zhou Jun was also a foreign student, and he scored well in the first civil service examination in Sichuan, and achieved the position of mayor step by step, which is also this kind of turbulent times where the old and the new alternate, otherwise he would never be able to be promoted so quickly, but Zhou Jun himself is not weak, and he is good at seizing the opportunity to be able to rise to this position.

"Mayor Zhou, Yucheng is well governed by you, business and trade are prosperous, and the people are happy, you have made great contributions!"

"Dashuai, don't kill me, the foundation of Yucheng is all laid by Dashuai at the beginning, plus Yucheng is strategically located, it is also an inevitable result to be able to have such a development, I don't have any credit!"

"You're welcome, let's just talk about how to make Yucheng develop better, what are the difficulties, and what solutions do you have, say it, let's work together!"

"Dashuai, if you want me to say that there are three biggest constraints to the development of Yucheng now, the first is the traffic problem, although Yucheng is an inland port, but the navigation capacity of the waterway is limited, the Three Gorges section is only a few hundred tons, and it has to rely on the slender man to pull, which can not meet the needs of goods in and out; The second point is the problem of energy, we have a serious shortage of power generation, and we cannot keep up with the speed of factory construction; The third city lacks overall planning, it seems to be chaotic, factories and residential areas are mixed, the people are not satisfied, and there is often smoky weather, which is not good for the people's health! ”

Qiao Yu listened to Zhou Jun's narration, and was also thinking in his heart, the first two problems are actually very easy to solve, that is, to build a Three Gorges Dam, that is, to increase shipping capacity, and to provide cheap hydropower, but this is to think about it, regardless of other factors, a Three Gorges Dam needs more than 26 million tons of cement, which is more than 15 times the current annual output of Sichuan, and there is no possibility of construction.

"Mayor Zhou, do you have any solutions?"

"Dashuai, the best way to solve the traffic problem is to build the railway, but the Sichuan-Han railway will not be able to open to traffic for a year or two, we can only temporarily and vigorously clean up the waterway, all the reefs and shoals will be treated, and then deepen the channel to improve the transportation capacity, if it can successfully ensure the navigation of about 1,000 tons of ships, as for the power problem, as long as the power generation is increased, I am ready to build another hydropower station and a thermal power station, but Sichuan coal reserves are still a little insufficient!"

"Thermal power stations don't have to use coal, natural gas is also possible!"

As soon as Qiao Yu said this, Zhou Jun did not react, but then Zhou Jun understood what Qiao Yu meant, which has to be counted from the joint oil company between Yueben and Sichuan, the geologist and oil worker of Yueben took the machine around the Sichuan Basin and made thousands of holes, but it is a pity that a valuable large oil field was not found, but on the contrary, a lot of natural gas was found, and the transaction lost at least millions of yuan.

And the most depressed is the navy, I thought that I could get enough oil from Sichuan, and then I would be able to establish a petrochemical industry, and I would have enough capital, but the wish is very good, the reality is very cruel, those oil fields in Sichuan are extremely cheating, obviously there is already oil coming out, but after the real drilling, it was found that the oil reserves are amazingly small, and I have been busy for more than two years without anything.

It is said that the geologist who had sworn that he would produce oil had already apologized, and the cruel reality made him believe that China was an oil-poor country, but the drilling was also beneficial, at least helping Sichuan find a few natural gas fields.

In fact, I also suspected that Sichuan was deliberately fooling them, but I didn't believe that China's exploration technology could be above the book, Qiao Yu could only express regret for the empty-handed Yue himself, and we just proposed it at the beginning, it was you who said that I was crazy to come to find oil, and it was also your experts who said that they could find oil, and now they have found nothing, and they can't blame us at all, I don't know anything.

However, when he withdrew, Qiao Yu left the exploration equipment at the price of cabbage, you can't find oil, that's stupid, I still use this equipment, I said that I was half sold and half given away in discouragement, and handed over all the equipment to Qiao Yu for 200,000 yuan.

Now Sichuan lacks coal, and Guizhou's coal can't be transported for the time being, so replace it with natural gas, which is more hygienic and efficient than coal, and Zhou Jun also has a smile on his face when he thinks of this.

"Dashuai, are you a genius, knowing that there is no oil in Sichuan, so you let those little people come to drill, I heard that those who said that I came to Sichuan to look for oil, but one by one I cried and went back, and a few people who met people directly and were disemboweled here!"

"I don't understand how geology can frame me, I think God doesn't pity me, but they have also done some good things!"

"That's natural, Dashuai I think that after having enough natural gas, the city of Yucheng can also be re-planned, and in the future, every household will use natural gas, no coal, and no firewood, otherwise it will not be a good thing for Yucheng to be full of smoke!"

"Well, this idea is very good, but you must plan well, Yucheng is a face of Sichuan, and people who come to Sichuan often see Yucheng at first sight, and the responsibility on your shoulders is not light!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete the task successfully!"

Zhou Jun made a military order, and Qiao Yu asked again: "How is the tractor factory running now?" I'm ready to check it out! ”

"Dashuai, the tractor factory has produced more than 400 vehicles this year, and has also produced a lot of agricultural machinery!"

Qiao Yu nodded, and asked Zhou Jun to accompany him to the tractor factory, and Shi Yi was already waiting here outside the factory, "Dashuai, everyone has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Qiao Yu, accompanied by Shi Yi and others, walked directly through the front of the tractor factory. came to the backyard, Zhou Jun also entered, in a courtyard, Zhou Jun was stunned, it turned out that in this small courtyard gathered more than a dozen middle and senior officers of the Sichuan Army, everyone saw Qiao Yu coming, and saluted.

Qiao Yu also nodded to everyone in return, and then everyone's eyes fell on the middle of the courtyard, only to see the tarpaulin covering a huge square object, no one knew what it was, there were a few technicians next to him, and after seeing Qiao Yu coming, he removed the tarpaulin, only to see a huge iron box appear in front of everyone.

This big guy is more than a man tall, more than three meters long, surrounded by iron plates connected together with rivets, with a tractor's territory below, and a machine gun on it, this strange thing appeared in front of everyone.

A designer stood up: "Dashuai, this is our newly developed half-track armored vehicle, weighing 3.9 tons, 1.9 meters wide, 2.3 meters high, armor thickness 9 mm, equipped with a 7.6 mm machine gun, this armored car can reach a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour, which can provide good fire cover for the troops!" ”

A brief introduction to the surname Neng, everyone present is a little interested, this kind of steel is definitely able to resist the general rain of bullets, and the speed is also more than the horse, the most important thing is that this is oil, horses eat grass, I am afraid there is nothing cheap in front of this guy!

"It's fun to say, it's better to try it on the school field, seeing is believing!" As soon as Qiao Yu gave the order, he was ready to verify the combat effectiveness of the armored vehicle.
