Ever since the Empire State Building' was disseminated, many people have been on the edge of the Empire State Building almost every day, including reporters from newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and even reporters from newspapers in other regions have taken trains or passenger ferries to Beijing after receiving the news.

It is not surprising that in this era, there is no technology for photo faxing, and if you want to take photos, you have to wait for them to pass through.

You know, they make newspapers, and what is the most important thing about newspapers? It's timeliness.

In other words, it's best to report the news while he's still valuable, and if you wait until everyone reports it, then the news won't be worth much.

But in the same way, if something is really important, then its timeliness will be extended, because there will be many people in this world who care about it and look forward to his follow-up reports.

If the newspaper can get a picture of the 'Empire State Building' at this time when all the other newspapers have only text on it, it will undoubtedly help the newspaper to overpower the other newspapers.

On the other hand, if the newspapers of other newspapers have pictures on them, but you don't have them on them...

Then you probably don't need to run this newspaper.

So after the Empire State Building' was announced, almost all newspapers sent reporters, and some smaller, somewhat self-entertaining newspapers even went out with their bosses themselves―――――― anyway, such newspapers usually feed the whole family and don't go hungry.

At the same time, all over the country. After reading the newspaper report, I was also looking forward to the appearance of the photo, after all, just looking at the text. Sometimes it's boring.

Chinese people will pay attention to this matter, on the one hand, because there is too little excitement in this era, and finally there is a topic, and people will naturally talk about it, and on the other hand, their own country has such a world's tallest building, and the people will naturally have a sense of pride in their hearts.

Since the end of the war in Shandong, due to the victory of the Nationalist government. Even the morale of the people with them has improved a lot, and they have begun to pay attention to current affairs.

As for the 'Empire State Building'? If it were in another period, it might have been criticized for extravagance and waste, but it has suffered too much humiliation in such a situation. In times when pride is needed, there is much less blame. What is particularly important is that Yan Shao paid for the money in this building out of his own pocket, and he never used a penny from the government. There is no doubt about this either. After all, everyone knows that Yan Shaobi is richer than the government, which is also an important reason.

In addition to domestic and foreign newspapers, some newspapers in other countries have also sent some reporters to come, but most of these people are just curious or unwilling to believe something. As mentioned earlier, there is no technology for photo faxing in this era, and if they want to see the real thing, they can only make a trip in person.

However, before leaving, this kind of person still has some doubts in his heart.

After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of white people. People of color can't build this kind of structure.

So before departure, these people almost always boarded the ship with doubts.

――――――――――――――――――――

Just when the world was making a splash about that building, which was located just outside the city of Beijing. As the owner of this building, Yan Shao is doing other things there in Tianjin.

Stepping past a small puddle, Yan Shao looked at Liang Hongbao, the director of the shipyard who had been beside him.

"It seems to have rained heavily here yesterday, so it didn't hinder the process..."

"Back to the president, no..." followed Yan Shao closely, and at the same time let his position always lag behind Yan Shao, Liang Hongbao said respectfully. Although it rained a lot yesterday, we were prepared for it and often experience this kind of thing, so although we stopped work for a while, it didn't cause much hindrance. ”

Tianjin is close to the Bohai Bay, which is a seaside city, and of course it is indispensable to experience being washed by rain, and sometimes it may even encounter typhoons―――――― of course, it is certainly not as big as the southeastern provinces.

Coupled with the fact that the shipyard was built by the sea, the countermeasures for such things have long been known.

"That's good, there are not many shipyards in China that can build warships at the moment, and now there is one more, each of which is very important, you have to work harder..." But maybe he knew who was coming today, so after seeing a group of people coming from a distance, the movements of those workers slowed down a lot, and they looked at Yan Shao attentively, their eyes revealing curiosity and a faint sense of worship.

If China had to pick out one of the most admired characters at this time, it would have to be Yan Shao, especially after the end of the war in Shandong.

Although Yan Shao has done a lot of things in the past, in fact, ordinary people only respect him, or they are very respectful, well, there is respect, but if you want to say worship, it seems to be a little worse, of course, it doesn't mean that no one worships Yan Shao, but the number is obviously much less than the previous one.

Yan Shao knows this reason, a king who can make the people live a good life will naturally be respected or respected by the people. But if you want to be admired by the people, you can only find a way to lead the people from victory to the next victory...

Yan Shao's situation is like this, no matter how many things Yan Shao has done in the past, what he has done is just what a good 'king' should do, that is, to let the people live a good life.

But this is not enough, if you want to be admired by the common people, you can only find a way to win on the battlefield, especially in foreign wars.

And the Shandong campaign is such an example.

In the past, those workers talked about Yan Shao a lot, firstly, because of Yan Shao, although their lives were very tired, they were obviously much better than in the past. Then there is Yan Shao, in the war against the Japanese, he gave the Chinese people a fierce fight.

Now I see the people who talked about it in the past. Naturally, the workers were very excited.

However, at this time, Yan Shao didn't notice this, he just turned his gaze to the two destroyers under construction not far away, as well as a few slipways next to the destroyers...

Several slipways under construction...

"Those slipways. How long will it take to get it right? ”

Pointing to the slipways under construction, Yan Shao looked at Liang Hongbao and asked.

"It will take at least half a year." Although he was a little too respectful in front of Yan Shao, when talking about this matter, Liang Hongbao's expression became very strict. "The slipway is one of the most important components of a shipyard, and it has to be done in terms of quality, so half a year is already the fastest, if anything happens. Even a few more months of delay is not impossible. ”

"Well, that's right." Yan Shao nodded approvingly. "Although it is true that there is a shortage of shipyards capable of building warships in the country, we should not rush them. All in all, it's okay to do your best while ensuring quality..."

"Yes!" Liang Hongbao said with a straight face, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Now the outside world has a high evaluation of Yan Shao, and Liang Hongbao also looks respectful in front of Yan Shao. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have worries in his heart.

Of course he was worried. He has experienced the pre-Qing period, and he knows very well that most of his immediate bosses are laymen, and he likes to command blindly, especially like to put forward some unrealistic plans.

Although the outside world has a high evaluation of Yan Shao, in the eyes of Liang Hongbao, Yan Shao is a layman, and he is really afraid that Yan Shao will force him to speed up the shipyard in order to get the shipyard done well earlier. Now it seems that the results are still good.

"Maybe I'm allergic to past experiences..."

Shook his head slightly. Liang Hongbao straightened up.

At the same time, Yan Shao also looked at several other slipways.

――――――――――――――――――――

After the launch of the 'Seventh Five-Year Plan', many projects have come to fruition. However, due to the scale or complexity of some projects, it is not easy to complete the project in a short period of time, including shipyards.

According to the progress of the shipyard, it is clear that the shipyard will not be completed in a year or two.

That being said, the Navy also has its own solution. That is to let the shipyard do it step by step, that is, to concentrate on building part of it first. After this part is completed, concentrating on building the remaining part has a lot of meaning for the first and second phases.

The slipways that Yan Shao saw just now were the two slipways that were originally built.

However, after all, the Tianjin shipyard had just been established, and the workers were somewhat inexperienced, so at first they only let them build two thousand-ton destroyers to practice, and then let them use the 'Iron Fire' class cruisers, or design the 10,000-ton ships that have made breakthroughs...

Yan Shao has always been very concerned about the affairs of the shipyard, there is no way, who said that there are few shipyards in China that can build warships, but the navy is in urgent need of ships to replenish. At present, it is impossible to buy from abroad, and the European side is about to knock out the dog's brains, and at this time, they are basically only in and out, so how can they sell ships.

So in this matter, Yan Shao and they can only rely on themselves, which also puts forward great requirements for the number of shipyards. At present, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the Wuhu Shipyard are already operating at full capacity, and the slipways are also full of warships and submarines, and if there is an additional shipyard at this time, it will not only speed up the expansion of the navy, but also share some of the pressure on these two shipyards.

――――――――――――――――――――

"What, are you done?"

After returning to the accommodation arranged by the Tianjin Municipal Government, Yan Shao took off his coat, and Da Yue Xun on the side followed and gently hung it on the hanger on the side.

On this trip, Yan Shao originally wanted to take Ileno and Caterina with them, but unfortunately Eleno has too many things to do recently, and Lu Ying has to stay by her side to help her. Katerina's words...

Since the war in Shandong, both the European side and the United States have become a little wary of China, and the task of the Special Affairs Bureau is to infiltrate these two regions and Japan, which is a very heavy task, and as a result, Katerina has no extra time to accompany Yan Shao.

In the end, there was no way, and it could only be Kaoru Otsuki.

"I'm done..."Yan Shao smiled. The resolute expression softened. "Just go to the shipyard and then look at the steam turbine factory, and several projects here in Tianjin seem to be progressing very well. I don't need to cāo heart..."

"It's good to be smooth..."Hearing Yan Shao say that things are going well, Otsuki Kaoru nodded, and then obediently did not continue to ask.

During the war in Shandong, Kaoru Otsuki struggled in her heart because of the conflict between China and Japan, after all, her man on one side (although she had not yet broken through the last layer), and her motherland on the other. And judging from the news coming back from Shandong. On the Shandong side, the land is already covered with the corpses of his compatriots...

Unlike Fumiko, Fumiko was only 5 years old when she left Japan, and she didn't have much impression of Japan. Now I'm only 9 years old, and I don't have a deep concept of the country. And since she was born, life with her mother has been difficult, so she has some impressions of Japan. I'm afraid it's all negative in nature. On the contrary, after arriving in China. has been taken care of a lot, and for Fumiko today, her feelings for China have long gone far beyond Japan.

But what about Kaoru Otsuki...

When Kaoru Otsuki came to China with Fumiko, she was already 22 years old, already had a relatively mature outlook on life, and had a certain affection for her country.

Now that her own country is at war with her man's country (and he is the leader of this country), and there are even nearly 100,000 casualties, it is almost impossible to say that she can rest assured.

So during the period of the war in Shandong. It can be said that Kaoru Otsuki is the most silent period.

Then again, if because of the lucrative life in China. Let her forget her own country, I am afraid that Yan Shao will alienate her, after all, such a woman is inevitably too affectionate.

Later, under the persuasion of Elaine, Kaoru Otsuki also thought about it, the conflict between China and Japan is not something that she can interfere with as a woman at all, even if she is entangled, it is useless, since this is the case, it is better to put this matter down.

However, the war in Shandong still had some impact on her after all, but it has generally returned to its original state.

On the other hand, due to the Shandong Campaign, the relationship between China and Japan has deteriorated a lot, and even her Japanese identity has become a little sensitive. Although for the sake of Yan Shao's face, no one dared to say anything to Otsuki Kaoru, but Otsuki Kaoru is still very smart and never touches Yan Shao's work, just concentrates on being a little woman or a good mother―――――― in fact, she has no interest in these things, in her opinion, she has the kung fu to listen to this, so it is better to pick one more beautiful clothes and jewelry, or supervise Fumiko to do one more question...

From a certain point of view, she and Lu Ying can be said to be the most ordinary women around Yan Shao, and they are not very helpful to Yan Shao's career. However, her attitude has won the appreciation of many people, and those who originally had some opinions about her identity, who were worried that she would steal information from Yan Shao's side and then hand it over to the Japanese, eventually accepted it―――――― and it was not okay if they didn't accept it, after all, they didn't have the courage to persuade Yan Shao to drive their women away.

――――――――――――――――――――

After hanging up the clothes, Otsuki Kaoru ran to the side and got Yan Shao a glass of juice.

Yan Shao, on the other hand, walked to the desk and sat down, then lowered his head and thought about it.

He wasn't at all worried that Kaoru Otsuki would steal information from him and give it to the Japanese. On the one hand, because he believes in Kaoru Otsuki, and on the other hand, ............... The Secret Service Bureau is not a dry meal, and among the female bodyguards who usually protect Kaoru Otsuki, there are only two people from the Secret Service Bureau.

If Otsuki Kaoru really betrayed him, Yan Shao would know about it as soon as possible.

This is not to say that he doesn't trust Kaoru Otsuki, it's just that after he gets to his position, whether he trusts or doesn't trust, he has to make some preparations.

Right now, he's thinking about something else...

As mentioned above, there are too few shipyards available in China at the moment. Although there are many shipbuilding-related projects in the Seventh Five-Year Plan, there are only a few shipyards in China, and the number is inevitably too small.

So not long ago, the Admiralty proposed to set up a state-owned shipyard in the territory of Arthur, which had just been recovered...

Lushun was originally one of the most important ports in China, and there was the Lushun Fortress there.

It was almost a matter of course to set up a shipyard there, and there was not a Dalian shipyard in China in later generations. Like Dalian, Lushun is also a very suitable location.

Now that Lushun has been recovered, it is time to take advantage of the position there.

"Lushun Shipyard..."Taking the juice that Otsuki Kaoru had just made, Yan Shao took a small sip. He is not a good smoker or drinker, but he likes to drink fruit juice. If it is an ordinary person, it is nothing to like to drink juice, after all, the influence of fruit juice is rich, and if you drink juice, there are still many benefits, but the key is Yan Shao's identity, the president of a country likes to drink juice every day, if this kind of thing is seen by outsiders, it is inevitable that there will be some...

It's a pity that although many people persuaded Yan Shao to try to drink or drink tea at least in front of outsiders, even if it was boiled water, Yan Shao still did his own thing...

On the other hand, looking at Yan Shao frowning there and thinking about things, Otsuki Kaoru also showed a smile on his face.

She didn't care about Yan Shao's hobby of drinking juice at all.

For her, if Yan Shao was just an ordinary man, she might be happier... (To be continued......)
