In the past 24 years of economic and social development, Li Fushou is most proud of urban construction, under his leadership, the level of urban construction of the Ocean Empire ranks among the top in the world, and European and American countries have come to learn from experience.

Urban construction, planning first.

Among all the countries in the world today, the Ocean Empire is the country that pays the most attention to urban planning, and from the early days of colonization, it divides new towns into metropolises, first, second and third types of cities, and carries out urban planning and design with different standards.

Mature pioneering urban planning and design, coupled with urban management concepts that transcend the times, have jointly created a high starting point for the urban development of the Ocean Empire, and new cities have emerged one after another.

In the inventory at the end of the century

The ranking of the top 20 large cities in the Ocean Empire has once again undergone new changes, showing new characteristics of economic and social development.

The largest city is still the Red River Valley, whose population has soared from 1.57 million in the previous year to 1.786 million in 1899, squeezing Philadelphia out of 1.77 million in the world, ranking sixth in the world and seventh in Philadelphia.

The influx of wealthy Chinese businessmen from the Luzon Islands has brought new vitality to the metropolis.

This city is the core of the political, economic, cultural and social life of the empire, where a large number of large business headquarters are gathered, and the fields of culture, health, and education are among the top in the world, and there are more than 30 large and medium-sized colleges and universities alone.

Until the beginning of the new century

Red River Valley's 32.4-kilometre-long Metro Line 1 has been completed and put into operation, using an excavated tunnel method to cross the Brisbane River twice, connecting the south bank and the north bank of the city, providing a high-volume and economical mode of transportation.

At the beginning of operation

It has reached a peak of 400,000 passengers per day, and this is the world's most advanced Metro Line 1, far from being comparable to Philadelphia's 1.3-kilometer experimental line, and is the world's second commercial subway line to be put into operation after London.

According to the city plan

When the Red River Valley metropolis is currently planning to build the "Hui" type of Line 1 and Line 2, after the completion of Metro Line 1, the construction of Metro Line 2 was immediately launched, and there are Metro Line 3 and Line 4 waiting for construction, the project is planned to form a closed-loop radial express subway line in the next 10 years.

In the planning, Line 1 and Line 2 are in the shape of "Hui", the small circle inside is the "Metro Line 1" put into operation, and the large circle outside is Metro Line 2. This is a large loop with a total length of 57.2 kilometers, and it is of great significance that it will take on the daily transportation of the busy people in the metropolis in the future.

In the long-term plan, the Red River Valley metropolitan area will form a spider web structure subway operation system, which will connect the urban areas of the Red River Valley metropolitan area through ring lines and radial lines, with an amazing capacity of 200~2.5 million passengers per day.

The second largest city is Brisbane, with a permanent population of 1.17 million, which can be ranked 13~14 in the world, which is three places lower than the original world ranking.

Few years

Citigroup has developed rapidly, with a large number of cities with a population of more than one million and large industrial and commercial cities close to one million, such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston, Chicago, Boston, etc., and a large number of cities that were originally unknown have emerged, forming a strong impact on the ranking of the original international metropolises.

The third largest city was Songjiang City, which was the vanguard of the empire's industrial development, and the urban population grew from 888,000 in 1898 to 972,000 in 1899.

In 1899, the total industrial output value of Songjiang reached 545 million US dollars, and it was one of the nine in the world in the imperial economic map.

The pillar of the city's light industry is the wool industry, which ranks second only to Suzaku City within the empire, and has a wool industry base for European exports, with more than 130 large and small wool spinning enterprises and more than 230,000 related employees.

The pillar of Songjiang heavy industry is the machinery industry, which started early, has a large development scale, advanced technology, a high degree of industrial cluster, and involves a wide range, which is the label of Songjiang's heavy industry development and is a world-class advanced industrial city.

The leading enterprises in the machinery industry are more than ten large enterprises such as Australian General Machinery Company, Volkswagen Company, Crown Automobile Company, Australian Heavy Industries, Haichao Power Company, Scott Transmission Company, Goodyear Rubber Company, Fushuntai Plastic Company, Phoenix Bicycle Factory, National Bicycle Factory, etc., forming an advantageous industrial cluster of automobiles, tractors, rubber products and bicycles.

in the above-mentioned areas

After more than 20 years of development, Songjiang enterprises have formed the world's leading machinery production capacity, produced an agglomeration effect, radiated and driven the development of emerging machinery industry in surrounding cities, and the results are gratifying.

In recent years

Relying on the industrial advantages of Songjiang, the adjacent Gusu City has developed a machinery industry led by Xinghui Automobile Factory, Bynum Industrial Company, and Pacific Transmission Company, which has rapidly transformed this original agricultural and animal husbandry city into a new industrial city.

Hangzhou has developed Guangchang Plastic Company, Dachang Bicycle Factory, Jinggong Textile Machinery Factory, Ningbo Fumin Agricultural Machinery Factory, Ningbo Textile Machinery Factory, and Fushunxiang Cement Company. Fuzhou City has developed a series of medium and large enterprises such as Futian Automobile Factory, Fuzhou Plastic Company, and Fuguangchang Machinery Company, leading regional economic development and forming an advanced machinery industry circle in the world, and the industrial agglomeration effect is very obvious.

This has also led to the upgrading of surrounding cities, with industrial development as the guide, and quickly completed a gorgeous turnaround.

In addition to the advantages of the machinery industry, Songjiang also has an annual output of one million tons of steel, an annual output of 3 million tons of coking coal, and an annual output of 150,000 deadweight tons of ships.

The fourth is Suzaku City, with a population of 835,000 people, as a traditional light industry textile town, more than ninety percent of the industrial output value of Suzaku City comes from the wool textile industry, a typical "one Korea, eat all over the world" economy.

The city's "Textile College" has been upgraded to "Australian Textile University", which has the world's top level in the fields of wool textile, fine textile, textile machinery, cashmere textile, textile printing and dyeing, textile design, etc.

Suzaku City is a city born for textiles, thousands of textile, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, textile machinery, hat and socks factories gathered together, forming the world's most complete wool textile industry chain, the textile industry output value reached an average annual level of 510 million US dollars, in the domestic textile group of champions, the total industrial output value is only slightly inferior to Songjiang City, ranking second.

Why is the city's textile industry so strong?

The secret lies in the fact that Suzaku City not only has a traditional wool textile industry, but also has the world's top cashmere textile industry.

The famous "Edelweiss" textile factory is located here, in addition to a series of brands such as "Baiyun", "Mona Lisa", "Emile" and "White Snow", the products are sold well in Europe and the United States, and it is the most powerful money-making machine in the empire.

For more than ten years

The complete set of cashmere textile equipment in Suzaku City has been updated to the second generation, with the characteristics of faster textile speed and higher efficiency, and has always firmly controlled the right to speak in the cashmere industry, and it is also a technical secret that the empire will never export.

In fifth place is Beilun City, with a population of 817,000.

Since the reunification of the north and south of Australia, Beilun has been the frontline area of this original confrontation, and has become the navel eye of Australia, an important town connecting the north and south economic zones, and the economic vitality has been fully stimulated, and the rapid development has been smooth sailing.

After nine years of construction of the Sydney Bay Bridge, the construction was finally completed before the advent of the new century, Li Fushou and the royal family and courtiers attended the grand opening ceremony, highly praised the project of the century, and praised it as "a great bridge to communicate the great unity of the nation." ”

The cities of Beilun and Sydney, now the new shining "twin cities" of the southern part of the empire, are separated by only one bay and are more economically connected.

As an excellent student of the empire's local economic development, Beilun City brings together a number of advantageous industries such as textiles, shipbuilding, machinery industry, gas equipment, ports and terminals, foreign trade, etc.

Beilun is the largest shipbuilding center in the empire, with more than 170 related shipyards, covering warships, offshore bulk carriers, refrigerated ships, ore ships, asphalt carriers, oil tankers, immigration ships, cruise ships, engineering ships, inland river ships and other categories, with more than 20 docks of more than 10,000 tons and more than 150,000 employees.

The city's FLM Gas Cooker Company is the world's largest company in this field, with a wide range of partners in Europe and the United States, and its strength is very strong.

In addition, Beilun City has Australian Marine Power Company, Contax Steam Engine Company, Shipbuilding Transmission Company, Beilun Iron and Steel Plant and other influential large companies, and the development background is very thick.

Many envision a combination of Beilun and Sydney into a metropolis with a population of 1.4 million, surpassing Brisbane to become the country's second largest city.

In reality, such an assumption is not realistic.

The city of Beilun, located on the Kongsby Plateau, is under the direct territory of the royal family Songjiang, which is completely different from Sydney across the bay, and naturally determines that the two cannot be integrated.

If it is unified, will Beilun annex Sydney or vice versa?

Even though Li Fushou is one of the richest monarchs in the world, he is not generous enough to give up a strong industrial city with a population of nearly one million, which is simply digging his own foundation, and the wise man does not do it.

Century

The Sydney Bay Bridge was officially put into use, which greatly facilitated the travel between the two metropolises, just like the immortal cultivators broke the bottleneck of the rise and ushered in a broad space for development.

For the city of Beilun

Sydney will become Beilun's backyard, with its superior education, culture, medical and overseas trade service industries, and huge throughput ports, all of which are the help of Beilun's economic development and can play a 1+1 >2 effects.

In Sydney's population of 624,000, white people occupy 237,900, is one of the cities with a high proportion of whites, the city has a series of higher education resources such as Royal University of Sydney, Sydney Medical School, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australian Law College, Teachers College, etc., with many churches, Taoist temples, temples, plus beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, is one of the favorite cities for foreigners.

The sixth-ranked city is not the traditional Melbourne, Qinglong, White Tiger, nor Manila, Tianshu, but Qingdao City, which has sprung up in the past 10 years, with a population of 773,200 at the end of the period, ranking sixth.

Located in the north of Queensland, Qingdao's abundant natural resources are the city's biggest highlight, and its resource reserves are world-class and enviable, and it is known as the "land blessed by God." ”

The city has the world's largest phosphate mine, the surrounding Linyi has the world's top reserves of high-quality coal mines, is also the only export coal mine (non-coking coal) in Australia, located in the Great Artesian Basin Lockhampton is Australia's local beef capital, more than half of the country's beef is produced here, here to buy beef cheap and good.

Thanks to the development of northern Queensland that has lasted for more than ten years, the Brisbane-Qingdao section of the northern coastal railway has been completed and put into operation, and the Qingdao-Cairns final arrival at Darwin section of the railway is under intense construction.

Railways, highways, bridges, and wharves connecting the north and south converge here, and Qingdao forms the most important hub city in the north of Queensland and the largest port in the north, and its economic position is very important.

Relying on the advantages of resources, Qingdao has developed food additives industry, mining industry, textile industry, food and leather processing industry, and port trade to support the initial rapid development of the city, making it the most important large city in northern Queensland.

In recent years

With the production base of Dongfanghong Machinery Company settled in Qingdao, Qingdao Chenfeng Power Company, Qingdao First Internal Combustion Engine Company and other enterprises have risen rapidly and emerged as the city's new business card.

meanwhile

Around the development of leading enterprises, hundreds of mechanical processing enterprises have settled in Qingdao, and the development momentum is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is a faint trend comparable to Songjiang, the largest industrial city in the south, which is amazing.

Dongfanghong Machinery Co., Ltd. is the king of the world's crawler tractor segment, in Europe and the United States to establish four subordinate enterprises responsible for the assembly of accessories, in order to escape the huge tariffs on vehicle imports, its annual output of crawler tractors has reached 20,000 sets of scale, driven by a large number of mechanical processing enterprises sprung up.

As a leader among the rising stars, Qingdao No. 1 Internal Combustion Engine Company not only produces diesel engines for Dongfanghong Machinery Company, but also produces gasoline engines, and is one of the high-quality suppliers of Volkswagen Plant.

The strength of Qingdao's wool textile industry is not weak, and it has gradually formed a pattern of light and heavy industries going hand in hand, and there are world-class resource advantages, and the future prospects are broad.

After adopting the new technology of alternating current grid-connected, Linyi, which is rich in coal resources, has developed 6 thermal power plants, and there are 4 more under construction in the plan, which not only provide sufficient power for Qingdao's economic construction, but also send rich thermal power to the Red River Valley ~ Brisbane metropolitan area through long-distance power grid transmission, which strongly supports the economic development of the core region.
