Chapter 781: Loyalty and Ability

The key to laying submarine cables is the development of rubber technology. Despite Chen Xie's golden finger, the level of chemical industry in this era is still at a relatively low level. The insulating effect of rubber and asbestos can solve the problem of insulation on land, but more advanced technology is needed to launch the water. And this matter is not so simple, it is also necessary to have enough knowledge of the situation in the depth of the strait, and only then can we talk about the issue of laying.

No matter how awesome the gold finger is, there are problems that cannot be solved. As a simple example, you can get an agricultural tricycle from the modern society and learn to drive it for a while. But how does it work? What about the production technology of diesel engines? What about the technology of the site? What about the technology of the gearbox? What about the production technology of tires? This is not bad, you get a tank and go back and see, let alone production, you can't learn how to use it. And don't talk about the dynasty, even if it is the Republic of China, if some advanced weapons are brought back, the problem of how to use them cannot be solved at all.

Industry is never a single thing, and some things can be catalyzed, but the accumulation of technology must be a gradual process. Chen Xie has long understood this, get a steam engine back, organize technical forces here, and spend three or five years to imitate it, you get a diesel engine over, boron cylinder liners, aluminum pistons, and the processing of fuel injectors, just these things can make the Ming Dynasty people play a life and can't take care of themselves. Without more than five years of learning and technical accumulation, don't even think about large-scale mass production, this is still the premise of hanging. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, why should we vigorously develop basic education and why should we vigorously promote science and engineering education? It would be naïve to really think that the success of industrialization is entirely the result of reform and opening up. Without the accumulation that began in 49, how could there be later industrial modernization? You can't solve the problem of an industrial worker who needs to be industrialized alone. Not to mention the accumulation of technology.

The Chen family has a lot of industries, but now they have basically opened up their technology in the field of light industry, led by the textile industry. It's not that I don't want to do monopoly trading, but I really can't take care of it. Except for the heavy industry base in eastern Liaoning and the petrochemical base in Java, Chen Xie basically cares about other industries now. The large industry in Jiangnan is now basically lost to those women to toss and take a look at the number of profits handed over every year. Now it's all done by the team headed by Li Xiang.

Chen Xie's vigorous energy does not mean that he has to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and the common people have to take care of their clothes and meals. The characteristic of industrialization is that the division of labor in the industry is becoming more and more detailed, and even if one person has three heads and six arms, you can't manage it. How to ensure the vitality and sustainable development of the industry, doesn't it depend on the system?

When I started in Dengzhou, I played workshops, but now I play large-scale industrial production, which is incomparable. Case in point: railways. At the beginning, road construction and locomotive production could be put together, but with the development of technology and market demand, industrial separation is inevitable. Locomotive production is an industry, road construction is an industry, although these two industries are now in charge of a president Xia Xue, but the management of the two industries is basically not intertwined with power.

The core of the dialogue between father and son is still on the laying technology of cable telegraphs. Basically, Chen Fan said it again. Chen Xie was listening. From the initial solo research to the present, Chen Fan has assembled a team. The line being erected is from Tanggu to Shenyang, and the construction period is expected to be ten months. The production of telegraphs kept pace, and the progress of the construction of laying lines was affected by the output of electric wires.

The final conclusion was that the plan was to lay submarine cables. The current technological power simply cannot be realized. Chen Xie was a little disappointed, but he still smiled encouraging and said to Chen Fan: "It's me who is too anxious!" Or do it according to the established phalanx, step by step and move forward. On the one hand, laying telegraph lines, production equipment. Education, talent reserves, and on the other hand, the project must be profitable. If it is only a one-sided investment, this industry will not have a future. Have you ever thought about setting up a company and letting professional people manage the operation, and you, as the boss, only need to be responsible for the general direction. ”

Chen Fan nodded and said: "My mother sent me more than a dozen people, and the company's shelves were set up quickly, and the ongoing projects no longer need me to pay too much attention." I think that the key is the cultivation of talents, and the faculty in this area is too thin, and two of the six people who followed me to conduct research were preparing for the Telegraph Technical School. Two are on the construction site, and two are staring at the production of equipment. The process of turning technology into a product and then reaping the benefits of the product has benefited me a lot personally. ”

Let a son who is engaged in technology go to the company, Chen Xie did not stop it in regret. A technology, no matter how good it is, cannot be turned into a product and profitable, and the value of the technology cannot be reflected.

The meeting lasted until late at night before Chen Fan left, and this time the meeting between father and son, for others, they saw a signal. Chen Xie began to train the next generation, and he was slowly diluting the industry in his hands. Although Chen Ping and Chen Fan's treatment is different, one is to take over the financial industry, and the other is to put their own technology into production and application. Those who know the inside story understand very well that Chen Xie values Chen Fan more than Chen Fan, who looks a little wooden.

The reason why I say this is very simple, when Chen Fan left, he got a check with Chen Xie's personal seal. With this cheque book, he can withdraw up to $5 million in cash from the bank for his industrial development. As the future successor of the bank, the maximum amount that Chen Ping can withdraw from the bank when he is used for personal purposes is only 50,000 yuan.

As Edo Castle ushered in another early morning, 1,500 samurai in new uniforms appeared on the barracks playground in the castle. Standing in front of them were expressionless instructors. Each of these three families sent 500 people to receive professional military training, which was the first step in the newly organized Dongying Army.

As for the other samurai, after changing their equipment, they are on their way to the battlefield to destroy the feudal domain. As long as you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the age of these samurai present is not very old, in fact, the oldest is only sixteen years old. These young people, who are going to be educated here for three years, are simply not able to interfere with the Big Three.

In the morning, these young people were waiting, and when the dense drumbeat of the military band came from the gate of the barracks, everyone tried their best to straighten their chests in the sound of the command. His eyes were focused on a white horse walking slowly, and as Chen Xie on horseback walked forward, behind him were the triumvirate of the future Japanese government who were trotting along.

The horse is a four-year-old mixed horse, the mare is a sturdy Mongolian horse, and the stallion is a tall Arabian horse. This horse inherits the pedigree of both, and neither of them has the strongest sprinting ability and endurance, but they are better than their parents in terms of overall ability.

Slowly walking in front of everyone, turning over and dismounting while the three giants were waiting, and after stepping onto the high platform in the middle, facing these short young people, Chen Xie's first sentence was: "I hope that after three years of study and exercise, your height can exceed 165 cm." If you don't know the specific concept, you can ask the instructor to ask for a ruler to measure it yourself. ”

This sentence was a bit hurtful, but everyone present did not dare to question it in the slightest. Until Chen Xie continued: "You will receive the most rigorous education and training, and the cruelty will far exceed your imagination. Now there is still a chance to make a choice, and those who leave will not be punished in any way. No one moved at the scene, so Chen Xie nodded: "Since they all choose to stay, then please abide by the rules here and keep in mind the punishment regulations here." As long as you survive these three years, you will be the best officers in the Dongying Army, and you will have the opportunity to be selected as a member of the Alliance Army officers. ”

The allure of being a member of the Coalition Army officers, this commitment is just too great. Seventy percent of the officers of the 11th Infantry Division were of Japanese descent, and after these officers rushed back to Dongying, they quickly made these former nobles understand what the gap was. After a period of contact, the Alliance Army made these local nobles clearly understand the meaning of the word "turtle".

There was a special officers' club in Edo Castle, and the staff in it were paid more than most of the small samurai. The club was founded only a month ago, but it had become synonymous with the face of the noble samurai in Edo Castle. Strictly speaking, this place only received officers of the Union Army, and local nobles and samurai who wanted to enter the place had to be invited. Even if Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to enter this club, he had to greet the garrison in advance. By the way, the Allied Army stationed in Edo was the 1st Regiment of the Mountain Brigade that was withdrawn from the front. And this officers' club is located in the barracks.

"Please remember that entering the Alliance Army is only your first step in making a great achievement. Within that glorious team, you have the opportunity to climb the league's highest military honor. Within this team, you will not be treated differently because of your origin, and within this team, there are only two criteria for promotion, loyalty and ability. ”

Chen Xie released a strong signal, that is, in the future, regardless of military and political affairs, the first requirement is loyalty, and the second is ability. As for the object of this loyalty, it can only be Chen Xie. These young faces, unbeknownst to them for the time being, are faced with a brainwashing program like a repeater every day after three years of education here.

"Your future is not limited to the military, if you are good enough, the door of the government will be open to you after your service ...... expires." The magic sound continued, and every young man's face saw excitement. (To be continued......)
