Chapter 279: A New Problem in Trident City

Compared to Thunder City, which is centered on humanities and technology, Trident City is a standard military and industrial city.

In the current industrial area of Trident City, several factories are rising from the ground, and the towering chimneys and tall and dense factories clearly indicate the nature of these factories - steel.

The significance of steel to a country cannot be overemphasized.

Whether it is war or production and construction, a large number of applications of steel are inseparable everywhere, especially for the current Qin Zhiyuan, when the Republic of China does not have steel production capacity, it is necessary for Qin Zhiyuan to build a logistics base by himself.

It completely belongs to Qin Zhiyuan's own logistics base!

In this regard, even the old Renault factory could not be trusted. Although the old Renault has a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan, the Renault factory is in France after all, and if the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and the French government has twists and turns, then the old Renault may not necessarily choose to stand on Qin Zhiyuan's side.

Limited to the lack of resources on the island of Corsica, the scale of the steel plant built in Trident City is not large, and it is limited to the production of special steel that can be used in the military and some special industries, such as gun steel, as well as alloy materials needed to build aircraft, or special steel for tanks in the future.

As a result, the range of raw materials required by the plant is greatly reduced, and ingots can be ordered directly from steel mills around the world and transported to the Trident for further refining.

The current city of Trident, the factories under construction, in addition to the special steel plant, also have a tank factory, as well as an aircraft factory, the tank factory can be transformed into an automobile factory after the war, and the aircraft factory can also be transformed into a civil aircraft factory after the war, and there will be no waste.

After Qin Zhiyuan arrived in Trident City, Qin Zhiyuan was accompanied by Trident City Speaker Eric and Mayor Portleme.

Since it is a show, it is necessary to do enough, Qin Zhiyuan not only filled Corsica with immigrants, but also established local governments in Thunder City and Trident City on Corsica, and it is the kind of city government and city council that are complete.

At present, the mayor of Trident City is Eric, a local who was quite cooperative with Qin Zhiyuan's work when Qin Zhiyuan led the army on Ajaccio Island, and after Qin Zhiyuan completed the "blood exchange" of Corsica, Eric took the initiative to ask to be transferred to Trident City and served as the chairman of the city council of Trident City.

Portlem is a man from Old Reynolds, a man who is technically a "traitor". As guides, Portlem and Beavis accompanied Hu Tingfeng to land on the island before Qin Zhiyuan, and successfully carried out a series of "terrorist attacks" on the island, so when he was rewarded for his merits, he served as the mayor of Trident City.

As for Beavis, he is now the mayor of Thunder City, and he is joined by Chen Kangjian's French wife, Marie.

Chen Kangjian has a family in the Republic of China, but this does not prevent Chen Kangjian from setting up another family in France, and the Republic of China at this time has a tradition of three wives and four concubines.

Chen Kangjian did not hide the fact that he had a family in the East from Mary, and Mary did not leave Chen Kangjian because of this, but acquiesced to the existence of Chen Kangjian's wife, and Mary had only one request, that is, even if Chen Kangjian's wife came to France, she could not live with Mary. Chen Kangjian agreed to Marie's request, and has now purchased a house in Paris to house his original wife, who is about to arrive in France.

It is impossible for Marie to leave Chen Kangjian, who is already three months pregnant, and is the first transnational couple to be recognized by the French government, which has important symbolic significance, even if Mary accuses Chen Kangjian of bigamy and asks for divorce, the district court in Paris will not accept it.

"The industrial zone covers an area of 45 square kilometers, although the area is large enough, but there are not many enterprises settled in at present, and the land is seriously wasted. Eric introduced as he walked.

Cheng Ziming knew that he was a Chinese when he heard his name, this was an international student who studied in Europe in his early years, and as a rare highly educated Chinese at this time, he naturally had to join the parliament as a representative of the Chinese.

In fact, if it weren't for Qin Zhiyuan's interference, Eric and Mary would not have been elected as Speaker at all, at this time in Thunder City and Trident City, 70% of the members of the city council were Chinese, and the rest were French people who were close to the Chinese, including many "quasi-Chinese" French women who married Chinese like Mary.

Eric and Portleme are just Qin Zhiyuan's spokespersons who are pushed to the front desk as needed, and they are used to deal with the French government and the media. At least it will give the French the impression that Corsica is still French land and will not give rise to more social problems.

"No, it's just nonsense, this is an industrial area, the soil contains a lot of industrial metals that are harmful to the human body, and the food grown in such land is not edible at all. And it's so far from Trident City, how are those people coming to farm? Coming by car? There is not enough money for gas! Qin Zhiyuan directly dismissed it.

The so-called "distribution to the citizens who are willing to farm" is to distribute these lands to the Chinese and let them grow some vegetables, grow some food, or something.

It has to be said that the enthusiasm of the Chinese for the land is unmatched.

In the current Trident City and Thunder City, although the construction of residential areas has not yet begun, the homestead allocated to each household has been clarified. In order to allow residents to have a better living space, Qin Zhiyuan allocated about 200 square meters of homestead for each family, in addition to the construction of residential buildings, this homestead will also have a lot of extra space to do anything, such as grass and garden, are good choices.

The French, represented by Marie, did indeed plan to design a house with a lawn in front and a garden behind the house, which looked full of flowers and petty bourgeoisie.

The Chinese are different, the house designed by the Chinese is a vegetable field in front, and the back of the house is also a vegetable field, which looks solid and rich, and it is an idyllic scenery.

That's the result of different cultural differences.

But it's not bad, at least it looks harmonious.

Perhaps in the future, there will be a lot of the following in Thunder City and Trident City: picking vegetables from the Chinese vegetable fields, and then going to the lawn in the front yard of the French to have a barbecue.

Forget about the garden, compared to the Chinese, Westerners pay more attention to private space, and these basic respects still need to be there.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has recently received a lot of immigration applications, some from mainland France, some from sailors on merchant ships or passenger ships, and many from enclaves in North Africa." There is also a new situation report from Portlem.

At this time, the world is definitely not peaceful and stable, there are wars and strife everywhere, and it is even more difficult to find a paradise. Compared to the war-torn continent of Europe and North Africa, Corsica is truly unusually calm.

This situation must not be able to hide the merchant sailors passing by, especially when the passing merchant ships pass by Thunder City and Trident City, although they cannot leave the port area, but even if they glimpse from the sea, the Thunder City and Trident City built on the mountains are in full swing.

This question is really worth looking into.
