Wang Rongmin studied economics, after graduating and returning to China, he was more connected to the field of economics and finance, a full 7 years, from the general clerk, to the high position of the governor, although it is said that relying on China's change from 1908 to the current era of change, stained with the light of Jin merchants, and finally embarked on a road to green clouds, but if he has no ability at all, in China, a country dominated by Yang Yuanzhao, at most to be an official below the county level is the limit, Wang Rongmin has come to this point, thanks to his keen economic acumen, he can be regarded as the most outstanding group of officials in the whole of China's economy, and he is also commonly known as a cutting-edge official.

For others, may not be able to find a suitable breakthrough point in a short period of time, from this information, but Wang Rongmin is different, he is good at finding answers from these complicated problems, and soon he found the key point of transportation, under careful analysis, to build a large industrial area and logistics area based on the Indochina Peninsula, he can rely on only four railways, maybe after the Kra Canal project is approved, there will be more railways in Central South Province in the future, and even these four will have a huge strengthening, But that was later, now Wang Rongmin can only rely on the existing, in the country, busy railway lines, parallel 4 railways, even 5, not nothing, because of the smoothness and convenience brought by the railway, changed the travel situation of Chinese, the current 4 railways, the westernmost is a one-way line, has not yet been double-lined, the best is through Bangkok, Vientiane Hanoi this important line, is built into three railways parallel, the largest capacity, the other two, are double lines.

These four railways, the westernmost one is a bypass to Yunnan, and it is a one-way line, that one is basically negligible, Yunnan even in later generations of China, is not a very economically developed place, Yunnan is the most famous, more is the scenery, although China's tourism industry began to start, but not popular, people have just come out of the old living conditions, and in the war, generally speaking, has not yet reached the level of leisure to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, now go the most, Either Beijing and Nanjing, the two former imperial capitals, or Shanghai such as the Oriental Adventurer's Paradise, or the Wuyue Famous Mountain and the Yellow Mountain, in history, left a strong mark of scenic spots, Yunnan does not have this heritage, for the whole country tourists.

Yunnan occupies a very small number in the whole transportation, at most it is only some basic things, can not be used as a focus, but the other three, it is much more important, especially the largest three-line line, starting from Bangkok, all the way, Vientiane Hanoi into Guangxi, in Nanning into the mainland railway network, this is the most essence, the core line.

Nanning as the provincial capital of Guangxi, but also the core of China's railway network in the southwest, Guangxi is already considered to be in the plateau, but compared to Yunnan and Guizhou is a little better, Yunnan Guizhou to the 21st century, are inconvenient places, this era is a little better, but only connected to the railway network, with Nanning, at least 4 trunk railways here intersection of the railway hub, can not be compared at all, at most than Bangkok in the central and southern provinces of a little better.

As long as it is connected to Nanning, whether it is to take Nanning, bypass Guangzhou, enter the Beijing-Guangzhou line, contact the entire eastern plain, or take Guiyang, enter Sichuan, contact Sichuan, the most important province in the southwest, or take Changsha, bypass Hubei, Henan, and enter Shanxi, which are the most developed places in China's industry.

Central South Province as a part of the mainland, and under the promotion of Wang Rongmin, completed the infrastructure construction of the railway, it stands to reason that the Malay Peninsula belongs to the Indochina Peninsula, a part of the Upper Indochina Peninsula, but the division of the two is quite obvious, the Kra Isthmus is to a certain extent, is one of the connecting belts, the narrowest only 50 kilometers of the connecting belt, which has different conditions, at most can only accommodate one railway, although in the Chinese railway plan, there is this railway, but at present, has not started.

Although Malacca is a transportation hub, but in the railway and sea linkage, never moved this idea, this fast line, basically not much use, because, the direction of Malacca, the core port in the Malay Peninsula line, but the largest port is Singapore, after bypassing Singapore, to return to Bangkok, on the detour, rather than this, it is better to only put Guangzhou, where is the real Chinese railway hub, or, directly from Shanghai into the sea, on the Yangtze River, Direct access to the hinterland of China, turnover in Wuhan, these can all play a role, Indochina Peninsula, especially the Malay Peninsula, the construction of railways is only to allow China's railway network, can be connected to every region of China's East Asian continent, Malay Province is not as good as Central South Province, without this prerequisite, it may not be considered until China begins to build the second and third level of railways.

The premise of the previous railway is that the Kra Canal is not through the premise that the Kra Canal is not through, and now, the Kra Canal is planned, once it is through, the node of this network can be placed in Bangkok, whether it is the foundation or the future development, Bangkok is much better than the Malay Peninsula, except for the city of Singapore, and Singapore contact, even inferior to Guangzhou, which forms a gap, the road from Singapore to Bangkok bypass, can be reduced, but also compared with before, at least less than 1000 kilometers of voyage, Even if the land railway is a little bit around, mainly from Bangkok to Changsha, it is equivalent to a little bit of land distance, but look at the city on this road to digest the materials transported by the railway, itself is not too around, for Baotou and the west of the need for goods, this is equivalent to saving a lot of time, in Guangzhou around, that around more.

From an economic point of view, it is already a very important focus, Wang Rongmin is more concerned about how much can be diverted from Malacca, of course, it is under the premise of not affecting Malacca too much, the information given by friends is quite detailed, and the traffic volume of Malacca is explained in detail, in fact, the traffic volume is really a lot, China to the Middle East, through the 3B railway transit materials, almost supported the entire Allied war in Europe, The figure for 1915 was an annual transport capacity of 96,000 ships, with a total of more than 1.5 billion tons, which seemed to be a very large number, but in fact, the average carrying capacity was only 15,000 tons, and Germany relied on China for almost most of its imports, as did Turkey and Austria-Hungary.

Canal, if from the above traffic efficiency, 10,000 tons, to be exact, 20,000 tons or less, is the easiest to pass, the river channel is limited, the depth of excavation, plus the height of the altitude, will have an impact, the larger the ship, the greater the pressure on the canal, China's construction of this Kra Canal, is not for military purposes, the main role, or in the economy, it is impossible to ignore the cost of input, after all, economic products, to recover the cost, is his advantage, Less investment, more gain, and even a shorter construction period, it means that the time to collect money is longer, which is very critical, a huge project, always refer to all aspects, after reaching a unification, it will be built.

If the length of the canal is controlled within 120 kilometers, or even within 100 kilometers, saving 1500 kilometers of voyage, in this era of consumption, will reduce 2800-4000 US dollars, this figure is very considerable, according to this era, the price of a 10,000-ton merchant ship is 1.2 million US dollars, under normal circumstances, 10,000 kilometers of transportation, You can get 15,000 to 25,000 freight, which is equal to 100 transportation, almost you can earn back the money invested, this speed, that is, less than 10 years, fast, even less than 5 years, especially now, the price of merchant ships has risen wildly, because of the results of the war, the freight has increased at least 4 times from the beginning, and even the price of the ship has tripled, so that the saving of about 1200 kilometers is a more obvious number, maybe according to the freight, three years is enough to recover the cost.

According to the figures currently available, according to the current freight conversion, as long as 20,000 ships can be separated from Malacca, the toll will be a quarter of the savings of 4,000 US dollars, 1,000 US dollars, 20,000 boats, which is 20 million US dollars, which is an extremely considerable figure. It may be about 180 million US dollars, so that it can recover the cost in 9 years, which is too fast, and the super large project, 10 years to recover the cost, this is an incredible speed.

You know, the canal has never been a short-term project, the Suez Canal has been open to navigation since 1869, and it has been almost 50 years now, and it is still in operation, at most it is only a little expansion and transformation, the annual operating cost is quite low, and the income is already one of the most outstanding British overseas stations, and it is the same here, 180 million is already a fairly small number.

Wang Rongmin almost thought that he had miscalculated, and after calculating again, he confirmed that it was too amazing, there was no exact number, but he felt that the investment was huge, so he didn't continue, he knew it earlier, and it was reported two years ago, although the Strait of Malacca is good, but it is an international waterway, Malacca has no tolls, at most it relies on adding water and refueling to make some money, which is completely different concepts compared with the toll of the canal, which is still 20,000 ships, if the scale of the canal is expanding, The annual scale has reached the level of 40,000, or even 60,000, this Kra Canal will become a hen that lays golden eggs, as for the impact on Malay Province, there may be, but it is not big, for every aspect of Central South Province, it is the consequence of large-scale profits, he can't wait any longer, Wang Rongmin's self-discipline is a little impatient.
