In the year 1260 of the nuclear era, a new round of war waged by the reformists in the Zhou Tian alliance had come to an end. The war was generally a victory for the Zhou Alliance, and the threat in the Indian Ocean existed only in the tip of the Middle East Gulf, with the remnants of Wanmingstein's fleet cowering in the Red Sea. While the Zhou Tian Alliance controlled most of the Indian Ocean, it also completely entered the African continent. However, this is the end of the matter now, and the harassing force of the Watt Federation on the African continent has prevented the Zhou Tian Alliance from advancing north. And in the Indian Ocean, due to the fact that the fleet of Vanmingstein was not completely annihilated. The main thing is that the Red Sea straits are too difficult to attack. Although it occupies most of the Indian Ocean, the threat has not disappeared in most of it. The alliance needed at least thirty battleships to be stationed in the area of Madagascar and the eastern coast of the Indian subcontinent to blockade the small Indian Ocean that Vanmingstein might have.

The long front has dragged down the current military strength of the Zhou Tian Alliance. The Zhou Tian Alliance can't fight anymore now. Entered into internal political consultations, although propaganda, this wave of war was won. But the entire Zhou Tianhe Alliance has also put more energy into this. As a result of this campaign, the senators had begun to confront the emerging forces from the south, even though the reformists had a large amount of resource production in large areas of the newly occupied territories. And now the patriarchs have passed new laws and began to encourage industrial production in the core areas, trying to control the flow of population to the newly occupied areas.

The game began within the Zhou Tian Alliance, which was a headache for Sun Chiyong, and for Ren Di, the noise of the northern and southern factions of the Zhou Tian Alliance was much better than in the past. Sure enough, only when the central authority is challenged, the local forces below can make their own small actions. Whether it was the centralization of power by the patriarchs in the past, or the reformists on Sun Chiyong's side inherited the legal system and centralized power, it was not beneficial to the local forces.

The centralization of the Zhou Tian Alliance in this world could have been maintained, but this immortal technology cut off the process of metabolism of the high-level new city of the Zhou Tian Alliance. This process left the young and talented side of the Zhou Tian Alliance with nowhere to guide. This is what makes Sun Chiyong make such a large scale now. Otherwise, there will be no cracks in the Zhoutian Alliance, and the high-level of the entire Zhongtian Alliance will still be the center of power, and Ren Di will still have to focus on the new human groups such as the Lu District, otherwise there will be no one in the DPRK and China, and the hard confrontation will not be controllable.

As the existence of the labor force that can now be turned into the production system of the Zhoutian Hemeng in the inland, the loess area now has a certain right to speak, and the loess area is now purchasing from the Zhoutian Hemeng in an open and honest manner. And some large machinery is at a very cheap price.

On the map of the loess region, a route was identified, which ran from Shaanxi through the Qinling Mountains and into Jingzhou, extending the line to where the old Wuhan was located. At the same time, the pier was built. It's a railway. The significance of railway construction is to link resource points and population gathering points. Before the Loess Zone, the construction of this railway was meaningless, because the large-scale working population could not survive in inland conditions, and modern industry could only be developed under the transportation system with excellent transportation along the coast, and all residential areas relied on the convenience of sea transportation to the extreme.

Let Ren Di now evaluate the so-called comparison between the national per capita and other developed countries in the 21 st century, well, Ren Di feels that the comparison should be preceded by adding a premise to be more objective, that is, the area within 500 kilometers of the coast is compared for a level. After more than 500 kilometers in 1,000 kilometers in the delineation of a level is compared.

Transportation, especially for physical material transportation, the probability of the economic impact of the huge volume of water transportation is very large, and now the loess area wants to build such a railway, first of all, the veterans of the Soviet area are very active, steel rails, automatic drilling rigs, pumping systems, are sent over in the form of interest-free loans.

The conditions of this region of Hubei are unique, first of all, it is a province close to the interior, and secondly, it has a golden waterway, through which you can go directly to the ocean and the ocean to the world. It is this kind of material convenience of communication that builds the prosperity of the real foundation. The most convenient way for other inland provinces, the northern and southern provinces of Wuhan to exchange trade with the world, is to extend the railway to Wuhan to remove the exchange of products and resources with the outside world, rather than building a railway to the seaside by themselves. It is true that Hubei's prosperity is due to its own impact on the fertile plains, and on the other hand, in order to develop other inland provinces, the exchange of real economy must be centered on Hubei. In the same way, houses in front of subway stations in the city are expensive. If there is no such convergence, for example, in Anhui, Shandong in the north is originally a coastal province, and Jiangxi in the south, the distance to the Yangtze River is about the same as the distance to the sea.

Anqing faced Nanjing, which had better conditions of the same kind, and could not compete at all. And Anhui's north-south land traffic is divided by the Yangtze River waterway traffic two or three kilometers wide, in the case of no convergence between the north and the south, the Yangtze River bridge in Anhui can not be drawn at all, and the bridge across the two or three kilometers of the river is not a trivial matter. It's an awkward situation.

Compared with 1840 on the historical line of Rendi, in the stage of capital accumulation, the great powers often ferociously demanded the right of way and garrisoned troops, and were eager to swear the land near the Chinese railway as territory. The business-minded new humans in the Soviet area of the Zhou Tian Alliance were much more urbane.

Of course, this is related to the strong productivity of the current Zhou Tian Alliance, and there is nothing to build a railway at a cost, and there are no people willing to create value near the key railway. Just like Africa in the twentieth century, China has the strongest steel production capacity in the world, and it is very easy to build railways, as long as African countries have the ability to maintain stability and have the will to develop, it doesn't matter if they send people to take the initiative to build a railway at a low price.

When the new human beings who came to the Soviet area to investigate saw the workers in the loess area cleaning up the Yellow River and erecting sleepers to lay steel tracks towards the Yellow River, they immediately realized that the loess area, which was formerly a laboratory organization, now has the ability to carry out the project. So I forcibly found Shen Liuyun, who was in charge of procurement in the loess area. The request asks whether it is possible to carry out the route to the south of the Loess Zone.

Well, after getting this news, Ren Di was very surprised, because according to the current capacity of the loess area, the railway line that originally went south to the Yangtze River was long and passed through the Qinling Mountains. Ren Di is ready to wait for twenty years, and he will have the money and strength to repair again. But now I didn't expect that the external factor of the Zhou Tian Alliance, the Soviet area, had an urgent desire. Then Ren Di reacted that his current actions were actually changing the economic map of the Zhou Tian Alliance. According to the GDP data, the top three provinces in the country's economic rankings are Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces, if Jiangsu is counted in Shanghai, Guangzhou is counted in Hong Kong and Macao, and both sides are about the same in the first echelon of the economy.

And now the most powerful district in the south of the Zhou-Tian Alliance is the Guang District, and the Guangzhou Region has an overwhelming economic advantage over the other regions in the south of the Zhou-Tian Alliance, otherwise Sun Chiyong, as a major general on the Asian side of this mission, would not have arranged his identity to be arranged in the family of the consul of the Guangzhou District. The patriarchs of the Soviet region clearly wanted to see the resurrection of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River.

In fact, Ren Di's speculation is very subtle, in fact, now the high-level consul family in the Soviet district is showing ambitions, and the centralized power represented by the senators has been challenged by the reformists, and the effects brought by the reformists are a series of effects. And now, in order to consolidate their factions, the elders have turned to focus on their own families. As the patriarch and the head of the Qian family, who was also the consul of the Soviet district, he now had to start thinking about the interests of his small group, that is, the interests of the family. It is a very tempting choice for conservatives and the wider region to compete in terms of discourse.

Shen Liuyun accompanied Qian Meng (female) along the construction of the railway line, visiting, the huge mechanical arm of the excavator, digging out the earth on the ground, well, because there are hard blocks in the soil and wet, the ground is also uneven. The excavator should pay attention to balance in the process of completing the excavation. Therefore, automated AI mining has not yet been designed.

Qian Meng and Shen Liuyun walked through about 100 kilometers of construction sections, with doubts on their faces, the whole project did not cut corners, the railway, the railway in the nineteenth century and the railway in the twenty-first century are different, in the nineteenth century, people used shovels to dig the map, and then lay sleepers to erect rails, in the twenty-first century, the roadbed of the railway was dug out with an excavator, and then poured concrete. Form a solid roadbed, and if it is permafrost in a plateau area, the foundation should be stronger. With the interest-free loan of the local tyrant in the Soviet area, Ren Di unceremoniously asked for a large number of heavy machines, and then carried out a half-year training and devoted himself to the construction of the railway line.

Heavy haul railways were built on this side of the Loess region. The heavy-haul railway of the Zhoutian alliance coastal standard, six steel rails in parallel, forming a lane, it is a little difficult for Gusta to walk on it, but it is still possible for a huge car to carry something weighing six hundred tons. The reason why this world has developed such an extreme heavy-haul railway, well, when the world has just recovered from nuclear war and entered the black iron age hundreds of years ago, both the north and the south developed in the coastal area, and the strategic weapon at that time was train artillery, and the heavy-haul railway parallel to the coastline. The steam roared, carrying thousands of tons of steel cannons, carrying out artillery bombardment, of course, the steam train of the black iron era of the year, in modern times has become a smooth white shell of the train, but in this set of railway standards is still so big, the railway mobile super-large electromagnetic cannon as a coastal defense system, is needed to shoot at the battleship on the sea.

After inspecting the construction progress, Qian Meng said to Shen Liuyun beside him: "You are very correct in choosing the Yangtze River waterway, although the construction route of the Yellow River waterway is relatively close. However, the hydrological conditions of the Yellow River waterway are not suitable for large-scale water transport, and to restore the capacity of the Yellow River, it is necessary to build a water conservancy system along the Yellow River. In contrast, taking the Yangtze River waterway requires much less consideration. ”

Shen Liuyun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is a very pleasant thing to cooperate with you, if it weren't for cooperating with you, this railway would just be an idea." ”

Qian Meng smiled and said, "The friendship between us is priceless. Speaking of this, Qian Meng's face was slightly red. Then he continued: "Liuyun, I want to ask, why the railway you chose is a military standard, if from the cost point of view, it will be very economical to build according to the resource line standard, do you have any deeper considerations?" ”

Shen Liuyun smiled and said: "The entire loess area was just a laboratory in the past, but now the stalls are spread out, and the entire inland area is huge. In order to expand further, our original founding group, the main shareholders, decided to expand separately. ”

Qian Meng immediately pricked up his ears and asked casually, "What does it mean to expand separately?" Shen Liuyun said: "Now this area, which extends from the Qinling Mountains to the Yangtze River, will not only be a railway in the future, but will have many human gathering points on both sides of the railway line to produce machinery needed by other regions, as well as materials for survival in the interior." ”

Qian Meng said: "If you lack machinery, I think we can help." Shen Liuyun smiled and said, "It would be great if you could help, you must know that the dozens of large load helicopters we ordered from you are now lying on their stomachs." ”

Looking at Qian Meng, who was a little stunned, Shen Liuyun said: "It's not that you have produced unqualified defective products, but inland, the inland wind and sand are too large, and the gap in the helicopter electric transmission structure collides with the wind and sand, and the wear and tear inside is too great." This is only a part, in the future, more machines will be needed for production expansion, not too complicated, preferably with a simple structure, and our manpower here can carry out repairs. We can't just send our machine thousands of kilometers away for repairs as soon as something happens to our machine. Well, you don't have enough people there. The structure is simple, and the parts that are prone to accidents are easy to maintain. We want to produce diesel-based machines, well, this thing was eliminated in the Zhou Tian Alliance forty years ago. Now will you reopen the production line for us? Either you design advanced mechanical systems that are high-tech and suitable for use in the hinterland, or we just play with simple structures. ”

Qian Meng nodded slightly and understood what Shen Liuyun said, in the difficulty of human capital, the Soviet District of the Zhongtian Alliance will not waste labor and design a new and unique inland production module for the Loess District.

She smiled and said to Shen Liuyun, "Then congratulations here on becoming the director of this area." Shen Liuyun smiled and said, "I think we will cooperate very happily in the future." Qian Meng smiled and nodded.

Four hours later, the news of the expansion of the loess area and the fact that dozens of the original entrepreneurial shareholders would split the industry for regional division reached the veteran side of the Zhou Tian Alliance, well, the news was passed to the conservatives, but in the process of transmission, the news reached Sun Chiyong's ears.

After hearing the news, Sun Chiyong smiled and said, "Self-dissolution? That's a good fool. ”
