Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 270: Shipbuilding, Car Building, and Aircraft Building

Five days passed by in a flash, and a moderate snowstorm swept through Zhu Jiayu's living base in Zhangqiu. Cao Yun also learned the true meaning of life from Wang Shouliang in the cold night a few days ago.

From a novice to learning to pick up and put down.

Time itself is a kind of tempering. It is impossible to move forward without retreating. It was already November 11th when Cao Yun realized the truth and became a noble lady with connotation and depth.

The Operations Office Building of the Ludong Security Bureau, which is still under construction, is now ready for habitation after simple renovations.

The morning sun was shining brightly on a new day. After Wang Shouliang washed his hands, he looked at the four young and middle-aged people who had come back in a hurry from various places, one full of experience, capable, and calm. He didn't say much nonsense, "Drink tea. Let’s talk over a drink.”

"I was originally going to take a look at the winter planting on the expanded farm. You just inspected it once, so I stopped running around and listened to your report."

Fang Lianshan, the director of the new branch, paid a military salute and used a concise and simple language to describe the scenes when he went to visit and inspect.

Fang Lianshan was followed by statements from other deputy offices.

More than an hour later, Wang Shouliang nodded, "Okay, Lianshan stays, you can go."

“In the future, when you encounter some big things in your work, you must think more about it.”

"In the early days of training in Yau Tsim Mong, you were among the first batch of outstanding graduates of the literacy class. On the night when the Western District bully Ou Xinhu was captured, you were the first to shoot. You went to the place where the Black Flag Army died to fight guerrillas, and so were you. The first batch to go and show results."

Wang Shouliang waved his hand to interrupt again, "It's nothing. A hero in troubled times should have the love of his children. At least I still trust your past style."

"In the past five years, you have given me a big surprise. Heroes do not ask where they come from."

"I first reorganized the army in Foshan in October 02. Among the bodyguard leaders and senior bodyguards who were dismissed or demoted, there are many who have early resumes that are not much worse than yours."

"You now have three wives and twin sons who have started to go to school. They are very smart. I heard that the second wife is also pregnant, right?"

From Wang Shouliang's first sentence, Fang Lianshan fell into silence, nostalgia and other emotions. As Wang Shouliang spoke more and more detailedly, his emotional fluctuations became stronger.

"When you arrived in Lushun, you took the initiative to go out of Lushun and rescue the compatriots in Northeast China with the best results in more than a year..."

When he patted Lianshan's shoulder, Director Fang's chest heaved violently and his breathing was unreasonably heavy. Finally, he saluted, "Big shopkeeper, you gave me this life, and so did my family."

"You are the only one who controls a town in Beiyang."

"Speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers!"

The next moment he stared at Fang Lianshan and said, "You are now the first official director of the entire Sihai Group, responsible for the operations department of 1.3 people."

Fang Lianshan saluted again and left. Dozens of seconds later, Cao Yun came from the side hall carrying a pot of tea, with a face of shyness and attachment, but also some curiosity and doubts, "Yes, Brother Liang, Lu Dong is full of people here." With an operations department of 13,000 people, it seems there aren’t enough guards?”

It wasn't until Lushun mentioned that he married the youngest of two children that Fang Lianshan hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"Five years ago, you were 27 years old. I never thought that you, who was just a bankrupt sharecropper, could reach the high position you are today."

"Now go out and your surname is Fang, you are a legend. By the way, you married another two-bedroom boy in Lushun?"

"I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes in my life. I just hope that on the day I make a mistake, you can give me a chance to die on the battlefield."

"I don't want my old brother who I have known for five years not to be killed on the battlefield, but to be found corrupt and degenerate in the rear."

Wang Shouliang returned him a military salute and then waved his hand.

After the three deputy directors saluted and left, before Fang Lianshan could say anything, Wang Shouliang waved his hand, "Lianshan, the first time I met you was in June 01. I remember that at that time, you just met your wife and a pair of twins. My son fled from Guangcheng to Yau Tsim Mong."

"A ten-man squad, with a 16-character policy, defeated a squadron of Japanese soldiers to death within seven days..."

"Isn't this an easy opportunity for people to make mistakes?"

"Director Fang is already a little legend. He was promoted earlier than Luo Sanpao."

San Pao is still the deputy director and commander of the Siwu Squadron.

Wang Shouliang shook his head helplessly, "The expansion is too fast, and sometimes the pace is too big, and it is easy to cause chaos in the rush."

Among the earliest ten farms in East Shandong and the ten expanded headquarters of the Security Bureau, one of the groups was established by the Guard (Internal Investigation Section).

It has been expanded to ten deputy section chief departments, and a deputy section department with a full complement of 400 people is still affiliated with the guard force.

But the 10 farms suddenly turned into 100 farms, forming three deputy director departments and one chief department, and the guard could not keep up.

Among the current thirteen thousand people, there are still only 400 people in the sequence.

This is used for self-examination, gathering information and information, etc., but it is somewhat insufficient.

The next moment Wang Shouliang changed the subject, "After I inspect Ludong, I'm going to go for a walk in Henan. Will you come with me? Or should you stay here and wait for your father to leave?"

In another ten or twenty years, Cao Yun may become more and more heroic, but now she is coquettish and shy, "How dare I go to see my dad."

Since becoming a low-key, connotative, profound and knowledgeable Wang family member, Ayun, who is still not yet 19 years old, really loves and fears Wang Shouliang.

It had nothing to do with love at first, but as a woman in the late Qing Dynasty, she really got married, even if there was no wedding process. Most women in this era married without regrets for the rest of their lives.

But who would have thought that this person always carries Chinese ointments and acupuncture and massage packages with him? She was completely stunned and shocked. It turned out that Wang Shouliang was a medical expert!
Before Wang Shouliang could say anything, Cao Yun changed the subject, "By the way, what should I call Xiuzhu when I see her in the future? Sister Xiuzhu?"

"If you don't know each other first, the eldest brother of the Bai family has helped Brother Liang much more in your career than my father..."

Wang Shouliang was speechless again.

Let's talk about more pleasant topics, such as cars and trucks. He has been in this dimension for more than five years, and he can't accidentally become too obsessed with Miss Cao Yun and cannot extricate himself.

Even if she is a bit charming at the age of eighteen, she still has to cut off her feelings when they need to, and she can't be like glue at all times.

When it comes to cars and trucks, this makes Wang Shouliang happy. Not to mention that the Pearl River T-model has already exceeded the 2000-unit mark at this stage. The Baoan main plant and Shanghai branch have also reached a monthly production capacity of 260 units.

As time goes by, more production lines will be deployed and transported, and more skilled workers will be mobilized to increase production.

It is the Pearl River Liberty Truck. In the era of mostly manual DIY, the first one was produced in December last year. Until November this year, seven trucks were successively produced, making the total eight trucks. Xijiang light trucks have saved 12 units.

Now the Zhujiang truck production workshop can stabilize production after entering December 1906. The benchmark free truck has a monthly production of 12 units, and the monthly production of Xijiang light trucks is 10 units.

Even starting from the end of 06, the truck team will also become violent.

07 will be an important step for Zhujiang and Sihai Escorts to take a more solid step. Saving 3000 cars and more than 300 trucks a year? ?
An operations processing unit, a team of more than 10,000 people, and one or two hundred light and heavy artillery can move at any time, spanning one or two hundred kilometers, arriving at dawn and dusk. If the road conditions are bad, at most, some cars will be destroyed.

But for the land war pattern before World War I, it was really a breakthrough for the era! !

………………

December 1906, 12, the winter solstice.

After Wang Shouliang finished inspecting farms in various places, he rushed back to Bao'an and Bao'an No. 1 Shipyard in a dusty environment.

When Wang Shouliang's small convoy arrived, Louis and Leon from Hans Cat were already waiting at the gate of the shipyard.

The two parties met outside the door. After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, Louis laughed loudly, "King, congratulations. I haven't had time to wish you a happy wedding in advance. Do you want to hold a big wedding banquet?"

"If you organize a wedding banquet, I guess His Majesty in Europe will ask me to give you a big gift."

Even if the incident between Shopkeeper Wang and Cao Yun was not deliberately spread, it was actually destined to cause a stir in all parties.

There is a story. He was 21 years old when he traveled through time. At least in the minds of Shi Xi, Shi Aihua and others, he was 21 years old. Now he is about to turn 27.

For an ordinary man in the late Qing Dynasty, he would be extremely old.

Forget it if you have no success in your career, if you have a successful career... If you have no interest in women, many people will doubt you. Of course, in the past, shopkeeper Wang was too domineering in his career, and no one had the courage to complain and slander him.

Now that he is 26 years old, he is getting together with an -year-old Miss Cao Yuncao who also married late... it is still news that can cause a sensation in the Far East.

Most people had no objections to this and didn't dare to say anything. However, while he was traveling around the farms, Datou sent another Commander Cao, an elder who was more or less related to Cao Yun, to chase him and give him gifts. of.

I sent several large gifts.

Even Cao Yun's father was a hero in Liangshanpo in Eastern Shandong. Many of the local tyrants and evil gentry who were blackmailed were Cao's father's people. Once he opened the door and tied himself up, he invited you to search the house and take whatever you want. Just treat it as a gift to shopkeeper Wang. .

Cao Yun's father was extremely happy, but also somewhat boring.

Wang Shouliang smiled and shook his head, "As the country's affairs are difficult, we won't make any big arrangements. Maybe we will gather with family and friends during the Spring Festival and set up a few tables to celebrate."

"The torpedo destroyer you built for me is the best gift!"

It has been a year. Since last December, Louis and Leon brought a large team from Qindao to Baoan. For a whole year, this shipyard, which was built from scratch, has increased its production capacity.

In December, three warships were launched in one go.

The displacement is about 1300 tons, and the fuel power can drive the maximum speed of 35 knots. It is equipped with only 12 75MM rapid-fire guns, 37MM machine guns and Maxim machine guns. There is not much armor steel. It is equipped with 3 torpedo launching equipment and 9 torpedoes.

If we really encounter an enemy and the opponent's majestic-class or Sihai-class battleships, which may be ten kilometers apart, they will be sunk by one shot from the opponent, which is the end of the world.

But against a torpedo boat kamikaze with a displacement of dozens of tons or a hundred tons? ! This thing is designed to kill torpedo suicide boats!
If you are lucky, for example, you can use cloud and mist raids on foggy days or night raids on dark nights. If you can get within one kilometer of the Majesty-class or Sihai-class battleships and launch a wave of torpedoes, you can pull the big ship to its death.

Louis laughed again, "Okay, then when that day comes, you must invite me to have a drink."

"I heard that the two majestic-class ships and 30 torpedo destroyers that Yanlun Guilao gave to the island country were delivered in Malacca in February 07."

"Baoan No. 1 Shipyard will be able to launch three more such destroyers by then."

"Our Royal Fleet has also shipped fifteen torpedo destroyers from the mainland. The locally produced torpedo destroyers are made in Baoan. At most, they have a little more armored steel, but the speed cannot reach 35 knots, only 30 knots."

"Wang, what are you going to do? Fight directly with the island guys? Or let them wait for a while? Destroy more ships and then talk about it?"

Wang Shouliang thought for a few seconds and asked curiously, "Where is the progress of the second shipyard?"

The second shipyard was launched in March this year together with the Sumatra Oilfield. Many powers helped him build a large shipyard to produce Sihai and Majesty-class battleships.

With the manufacturing capacity of this era, it usually takes Yinglun two or three years to complete the production of a ship from the start of construction to the launch of the ship. With the rapid development of North America, it can be completed from the start of construction to the launch of the ship and then to service in just over a year.

Lewis smiled and shook his head, "Some people still want to hold back and not work hard, but don't worry, with a large number of our Hanscat engineers, we can build the Sihai and Majesty class battleships by next summer at the latest."

"But you also need to know that Yan Lun's Dauntless has been born and is in service."

"We, including France, North America, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, will not be too slow in pursuing the Dreadnought's brand new battleship!"

"Your second shipyard, which will start construction next summer, will basically be able to produce only one Sihai and Majesty class in more than a year."

The launch of the Dreadnought battleship marked the arrival of the dreadnought era! Before the Dreadnought, all battleships of various classes can be called pre-dreadnoughts.

The original trajectory of the Dreadnought was put into service in December 1906. It was this month. This dimension experienced several early stimulations. The Dreadnought was born earlier, entered service faster, and the navies of various countries were chasing after it very quickly.

All we can say is that the dreadnought is not the end, there are also super-dreadnoughts!
We must know that the original trajectory started from the first ship in 06, and by 1914, it had built twenty or thirty dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts.

Wang Shouliang's Sihai Escort Bureau has mastered the manufacturing technology of Sihai and Majesty class battleships, which are already being eliminated.

However, he was also satisfied. At least in his plan and in the next ten or twenty years, the Sihai Escort Bureau would basically not have too violent naval battles with Yan Lun and European and American powers.

If we just want to fight the Japanese, the manufacturing and production capacity of Baoan No. 1 and No. 2 Shipyard is sufficient.

He is really driving the development of shipbuilding, car building, and will also get involved in the aircraft manufacturing industry in the next few years!
With such a start in the field of heavy industry, and then radiating to other light and medium industries, not only eastern Guangdong and Shanghai will become large-scale industrial bases, but also Kalimantan, Sarawak, and Sibu will become more and more prosperous. Play industry.

Three months have passed, and tens of thousands of Chinese have been transported to Siwu Base.

Set a small goal. In 1907, the number of Chinese in Sibu and Kuching exceeded one million...
