As soon as the applause stopped, Wei Han, who was appointed by Lin Daxin as the director of the shipbuilding department and the person in charge of the Dalian shipyard, stood up and said: "Since the navy just mentioned our shipyard, then I will report on the situation of the shipyard!" ”

Lin Daxin said with a smile: "Uncle Wei, if you are in a hurry, just say it first!" Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wei to introduce the situation of our shipyard! ”

Wei Han was appointed by Lin Daxin as the director of the shipbuilding department, responsible for the work of several shipyards under Lin Daxin's command.

Wei Han nodded to everyone in the conference room and said: "Just now the Navy mentioned that our Weihaiwei Shipyard has delivered four British Majesty-class improved all-steel battleships to the Navy of the Naval Academy, and I can now proudly tell my colleagues here that the four warships we built are shorter than the time taken by the British shipyard to build the Majesty-class all-steel battleships, and the four British Majesty-class improved all-steel battleships fully meet the design standards in the sea trials. It can be said that the technology of our shipyards is not inferior to those in the West at all! ”

As soon as Wei Han's voice fell, "Whoa, whoa," the entire conference room burst into applause under the leadership of Lin Daxin.

Wei Han and others stopped applauding and then said: "Now our shipbuilding department mainly has 2 shipyards, Weihaiwei Shipyard now has 4 15,000-ton docks, 4 10,000-ton docks, 4 5,000-ton docks, 8 1,000-ton to 2,000-ton docks, and 10 small docks below 1,000 tons. ”

"Dalian Shipyard now has four newly built 25,000-ton docks. There are 4 newly built 20,000-ton docks, 8 10,000-ton docks, and 8 5,000-ton docks. There are 24 docks from 1,000 tons to 2,000 tons, and 20 small docks under 1,000 tons. Moreover, our shipbuilding department is currently preparing to start the construction of Huludao Shipyard in Huludao Longgang in Mukden Province and the Nampo Shipyard in Nampo Port in Yalu River Province. ”

Lin Daxin interjected: "Uncle Wei, you can tell you about the warships that are being built and are about to be built at Weihaiwei Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard!" ”

Wei Han nodded and said: "At present, there are four 15,000-ton docks in Weihaiwei Shipyard, four 25,000-ton docks and four 20,000-ton docks newly built in Dalian Shipyard. After our shipbuilding department and the navy studied it, it was approved by the marshal. It is ready to continue the construction of 12 British Majestic-class improved all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 15,300 tons, which is what we call the city-class all-steel battleships. The 12 city-class all-steel battleships were expected to take two years to enter naval service, that is, to be completed in early 1900. Join the ranks of the Navy. ”

"The four 10,000-ton docks at the Weihaiwei Shipyard and the eight 10,000-ton docks at the Dalian Shipyard have begun to build 12 large fast armored cruisers of the Temperance class with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, which will be completed in October 1899."

"The four 5,000-ton docks of Weihaiwei Shipyard and the eight 5,000-ton docks of Dalian Shipyard are already under construction the third batch of 12 'anti-number' class fast protection cruisers with a displacement of 4,500 tons, which can be delivered to the Navy in August this year!"

"In addition, our shipbuilding department designed a destroyer with a standard displacement of 1,000 tons according to the requirements of the marshal. It has a full load displacement of 1,100 tons, a length of 82.4 meters and a beam of 8.5 meters. The draft is 2.6 meters, the engine uses the latest steam turbine, the design speed is 32 knots, equipped with 2 single-mounted 40 times caliber 155 mm rapid-fire main guns, 8 47 mm rapid-fire guns and 2 500 mm torpedo tubes, and the crew is 120 people. This destroyer is ready to be built together by 2 of our 2 shipyards. It will be delivered to the Navy about the end of this year! ”

"Our shipbuilding division also designed a torpedo boat with a displacement of 200 tons. The ship is 50.5 meters long, 5.4 meters wide, 1.5 meters draft, 34 knots, equipped with 2 47 mm rapid-fire guns, 3 500 mm torpedo tubes, and a crew of 25 people. 32 ships will be delivered to the Navy in April this year! At the same time, a small shallow-water gunboat was designed, with a displacement of 350 tons, a length of 54 meters, a width of 6 meters, a draft of 3.1 meters, 1 small steam engine, 2 boilers, a speed of 26 knots, equipped with 2 single-mounted 40 times caliber 105 mm rapid-fire naval guns, 4 75 mm rapid-fire guns, 4 37 mm rapid-fire guns, and a crew of 20 people. In May this year, 20 ships will be delivered to the Navy. New torpedo boats and new small shallow-water gunboats will replace the old torpedo boats and gunboats in our Northeast Navy. ”

"In addition, our shipbuilding department has begun to develop a submarine, which is expected to be put into construction in the middle of this year. We now have more than 70,000 technicians and workers in our two shipyards, and we are continuing to recruit more and more training workers in preparation for the new Huludao Shipyard and Nampo Shipyard. This is the case with the Shipbuilding Division. ”

After speaking, Wei Han sat back in his seat in warm applause, Lin Daxin was very satisfied with the situation of the shipyard, in a short period of time, Weihaiwei Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard are no less than the most advanced shipyards in the West, and even the scale of the two shipyards can be ranked in the forefront of the world's shipyards, and Lin Daxin has not wasted at least hundreds of millions of yuan in it, which is equivalent to almost 20 million pounds. And that's not even counting the cost of shipbuilding, the £20 million is just the cost of building a dockyard, buying shipbuilding equipment and training technicians and workers.

Lin Daxin smiled and said to everyone: "The officers and men of the navy and the workers of the shipyard have worked together to make it possible for us to have a large navy with a displacement of more than 630,000 tons, and there will be more warships in the navy in the future, so that the four northeastern provinces can straighten their backs in the face of those Western powers in the future, and the days when the Western powers still want to invade us with ships and cannons are gone!" ”

"Whoa—" The entire conference room burst into applause after Lin Daxin finished speaking.

Lin Daxin pressed his hand down, and after the applause in the conference room stopped, Lin Daxin said to his cousin Wang Yan on the right, "Cousin." Next, you will give you a rough introduction to the development of the four northeastern provinces in the past two years. Let those who are seated, especially the personnel of the military. Learn about the development of our four northeastern provinces in recent years! ”

Wang Yan immediately stood up and nodded, "Yes!" Handsome! In public, Wang Yan also called Lin Daxin a handsome, but when the two were alone, Wang Yan called Lin Daxin his cousin or Daxin.

Wang Yan said in a somewhat passionate tone: "First of all, let me introduce the population of our four northeastern provinces, after nearly two and a half years of a large number of immigrants, thanks to the generous immigration policy formulated by our commander, now the total population of our four northeastern provinces has reached nearly 50 million. Of these, 36 million are immigrants from the provinces of Kannai. But the period of high growth in our immigration has passed, in December of last year 1888. In one month, less than 50,000 immigrants came to the Northeast in the Northeast, which may also be related to the fact that we canceled it in November last year, and every migrant who came to the Northeast will get 10 acres of land that can be cultivated, regardless of age, which is the most attractive immigration policy for poor farmers. Only the policy of giving 5 taels of silver per person to immigrants to the Northeast was retained. In addition, most of the poor people in the Kannai provinces have emigrated to our northeast. So that the number of immigrants began to decrease! ”

At this time, Lin Daxin interjected: "The cancellation of the order that every immigrant who comes to the Northeast will receive 10 acres of land regardless of their age is jointly agreed upon by Wang Yan and I. It's not because Ben Dashuai feels that the population of our four northeastern provinces is enough, but because there is no land in our northeast that can be allocated to immigrants! If we still want to use this generous policy to attract immigrants, we can only find some other land to arrange immigration! ”

After Lin Daxin said these words, a ray of light appeared in the eyes of some Dingbei Army officers in the conference room, and Lin Daxin's subconscious lines said that the land in the four northeastern provinces is no longer enough, and it needs to be expanded outward!

Wang Yan continued: "After the establishment of the People's Bank of Northeast China in Shenyang at the beginning of last year, the bank now has 600 tons of gold reserves. 2,000 tons of silver reserves, 300 million silver dollars and 3 billion yuan of banknotes. It has opened 160 branches in the four northeastern provinces. ”

"At present, we have 50 large-scale factories in the four northeastern provinces, nearly 800 other small and medium-sized factories, 20 mining enterprises, and 1 oilfield enterprise. In particular, it is worth mentioning that a number of newly built steel plants, such as the newly built Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, enabled the steel output of our four northeastern provinces to reach 6.8 million tons last year, ensuring the steel demand of our shipyards, arsenals, railways and other factories. Daqing Oilfield has also produced oil from three high-yield wells. Refineries can already produce several petroleum products, including oil, fuel oil and kerosene, and more wells are being drilled. ”

"At present, nearly 400 million mu of cultivated land has been reclaimed in our four northeastern provinces. Because Dashuai distributed the latest high-yield varieties to the people of the four northeastern provinces, the four northeastern provinces harvested 320 billion catties of grain last year. ”

"At present, more than 1,500 new primary and secondary schools have been opened in the four northeastern provinces, with nearly 30,000 teachers and nearly 600,000 students. In the next step, we will increase the training of teachers and continue to build new primary and secondary schools. At the same time, we are preparing to build our first university in the four northeastern provinces in Shenyang! ”

"At present, we have opened a total of 12 hospitals of Western medicine in major cities in the four northeastern provinces, and we are still working hard to train more medical personnel, and strive to have a hospital of western medicine in every town in our four northeastern provinces."

"Our four northeastern provinces have already started to build two main railway lines, one is Qiqihar-Harbin-Changchun-Shenyang-Dalian, and the other is Shanhaiguan-Jinzhou-Shenyang-Dandong-Pyongyang. It was expected that the two railways would be fully operational by the beginning of 1900! ”

"The administrative organs of our four northeastern provinces have fully covered all the towns and villages in the four provinces, and there are nearly 180,000 civil servants on duty, not including the public security police in various places."

"Last year, the fiscal revenue of our four northeastern provinces was 80 million yuan according to the calculation of RMB, mainly the tax of industry and commerce, and basically the taxes paid by the factory of Dashuai, but last year we invested 350 million yuan, and the financial deficit reached 270 million yuan.

The entire four northeastern provinces have almost relied on Lin Daxin's huge funds to develop to the current state, Lin Daxin's earliest fake foreign currency purchased in modern time and space, these years have long been consumed, fortunately, Lin Daxin in the four northeastern provinces to clean up the Manchu aristocracy in the action to obtain a lot of wealth, in order to support the development of the four northeastern provinces.

And Lin Daxin has also been from the modern time and space to the Qing Dynasty time and space to transport a variety of materials, and a variety of cross-era products, such as anti-inflammatory drugs sulfonamide and penicillin, Lin Daxin has brought the production equipment and production process of these two drugs to the Qing Dynasty time and space, has been built and put into production in the industrial park outside Shenyang, and these two kinds of anti-inflammatory drugs have been exported to foreign countries, because Lin Daxin sells abroad at a very expensive price, a box of 20 tablets of sulfonamide to the country is priced at 5 pounds, A 50,000 unit of penicillin costs £10, which is like grabbing money.

However, the miraculous therapeutic effect of these two medicines made foreigners still rush to them even though they knew that they were being slaughtered, so that Lin Daxin only relied on these two medicines to exchange for a huge amount of money. (To be continued)
