- Time passed quickly, and it was already the end of February 1933 in the blink of an eye.
The severe cold in the north has not yet passed, but the weather in Zhanjiang is still muggy and uncomfortable. The morning ferry to Potou District was already crowded, and the dark blue overalls proved that all the people on board were workers from Zhanjiang Zhonghua Shipbuilding Company. Because they were all workers, it was busy even before the ferry started. .
"Hetou, I heard that the company is going to choose to study in Shanghai again?"
"Well, that's the case. It's said that we need to strengthen welding technology. Let's pick a few hundred good people here to go to Shanghai to learn."
"Haven't we already been sent to Qinzhou to study? Why are we still going to Shanghai? Is it possible that we also want to build battleships?"
"You think so, how can a battleship be so easy to build! But having said that, welding is a good thing. Now Jiangnan and Qinzhou are even starting to use electric welding to build civilian ships, and the speed is much faster than usual, so the manager said that we should also speed up here Catch up.¡±
"He Tou, look. Huang Tou already has several welders in his class, and we only have one here. Why don't you see if there are any more places and recommend me to Shanghai? I promise to study hard and come back to make you happy. .¡±
"You brat, put away your frivolous behavior. The salary of an electric welder is high, but it's not that easy to learn! The manager said that all the trainees this time will be selected from mid-level workers. We can't lose the face of our Zhonghua Factory. , you are not qualified as a junior worker."
"Didn't I sign up for the training class for intermediate workers in the factory?"
"That will have to wait until after graduation."
Wearing casual clothes, Bingwen and several comrades from the inspection team had just boarded the ferry when they heard everyone talking about the welding training class, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of their mouths. Since Germany used electric welding technology to build the Deutsche-class pocket battleship, electric welding has suddenly become one of the most popular technologies in the past two years. For this reason, various technical schools and factories across the country have opened training courses. As electric welding technology became popular in the shipbuilding industry, Zhanjiang Zhonghua Shipyard, as a rising star, naturally did not want to be left behind, so it sent people to Qinzhou and Jiangnan one after another to learn the technology.
It has been two full years since the Saudi crisis. Although the safety of waterways and oil has been temporarily guaranteed after the Qingdao Treaty, Bingwen still feels it is a pity when he thinks of leading Task Force 21 and the British Navy to hide and seek in the vast Indian Ocean. War is indeed not a good thing, but no one can deny that war is a big test for soldiers and the army. If this hurdle is not passed, the Second Fleet will never be as good as it once was in the Yellow Sea and the Yellow Sea.
iThe first fleet that our navy fought to the death once.
But there was nothing that could be done. At that time, the navy did not have the ability to defeat the British blockade. Even if multiple exercises confirmed that the aircraft carrier had the ability to destroy battleships, just destroying them was not enough. No superficial defeat can be considered a true victory without the ability to protect the Marine landings. The president also knew this, so he finally chose to negotiate and continue to put the lifeline of oil and maritime transportation under the British nose.
The peace talks turned the four-month Saudi crisis into the Treaty of Qingdao. On the surface, the UK only lost a naval supply station at Addu Atoll, which it was originally preparing to abandon due to lack of fresh water. However, in fact, the impact of the crisis was far greater. Before it is over, India alone will let
The iBuluo Empire is in dire straits!
With the secret support of Chen Guofu and Shi Xiaolou, after breaking up with the Congress Party, Chandra officially announced the formation of the "All India National Democratic Party". Although it was defeated by the British army and had to withdraw from the Tata Steel Plant, the Indian National Party basically controlled the rural areas of West Bengal, Bihar and Chhattisgarh, and the number of troops has grown from the initial few thousand to the current 30,000 ! It became the third largest force in India after the Muslim League and the Congress Party. In order to deal with him, the British army continued to launch raids and roundups in the past two years, but the more than a thousand Korean soldiers who rushed to support him made the British army suffer. Therefore, the British army has recently begun to support Nehru again, hoping to use the Congress Party to eliminate Chandra and his "Indian National Party". In the past two years, the Muslim League has also taken the opportunity to accelerate its land grab, and has even more clearly stated the slogan of establishing an Islamic state.
What worries the UK most is that the Indian Poor Party has begun to grow in strength. They can be seen in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the south, and in Punjab and Rajasthan in the north. There were also rumors that Neh Lu is preparing to visit Moscow.
Britain is happiest when it is temporarily unable to be distracted
i Japan, although China and Britain both issued warnings at the time, Portugal immediately realized that the geopolitics of Asia had undergone fundamental changes after learning about the "Treaty of Qingdao", and there were also rumors that the United States was preparing to force the Philippines to invade
li news, so Qianjian took the initiative to sell East Timor for 100,000 pounds
This incident also caused tension between Portugal and the Netherlands for a time.
With 100,000 pounds, you can get East Timor, which is rich in food and resources, so that
Everyone in Japan was excited and at the same time it helped the country¡¯s stock price rise.??Calls to continue going south, some
This newspaper even hinted many times that it should continue to go south and annex the richer Dutch East Indies, especially the Bali Papan oil field of the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company and the Sumatra oil field of the China Gulf Oil Company, so that the oil-deficient people
I was so jealous that in the end some fanatical officers even proposed that British Guinea and Australia should be "liberated" together.
It is naturally impossible to get such remarks
iThe senior management of the company admitted that it has repeatedly stated clearly in public
I will not go south, East Timor is just the "last time", but the haze has never been able to dissipate from the Dutch East Indies and Southeast Asia.
However, apart from some tension in Nanyang, the world has also ushered in the quietest period. Economic improvement in various countries is still far away, the growth rate of the Soviet Union is frightened, and while Europe and the United States continue to live and die, the country has also entered a period of peaceful development. Shortly after the signing of the Qingdao contract, the president formally implemented the long-prepared economic stimulus plan. With the help of this plan, the national economy resumed growth after it came to a standstill due to the economic crisis at the end of 1931. Thousands of roads, railways, power plants, etc. projects are fully rolled out. The army has also benefited from this plan. The army has added two infantry divisions, and the 1st and 2nd divisions have also been reorganized into armored divisions. The Air Force's new aircraft bidding has reached the final stage, and tens of thousands of equipment are waiting for them. quantity.
The third and fourth ships of the Navy
The Jing-class battleship was finally delivered, and the transformation of two Sichuan-class aircraft carriers and two Anhai-class aircraft was successfully completed. In addition to the cruisers and two other Sichuan-class aircraft carriers that were built after the London Conference, the Navy ushered in the first wave of excitement after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Because of this little genius, the Navy has been going for 20 years since it ordered the Anhai class from the United States!
From the perspective of 20 years ago, it is enough to satisfy people that they can emerge from the shadow of Sino-Japanese War and rebuild such a huge naval force. But with the 1936 London Naval Treaty about to expire in three years, Italy and France
iThe four countries of Germany and Germany have begun to secretly design new battleships, and the navy realizes that it must be prepared for a new round of naval competition as soon as possible! Therefore, officers were specially organized to inspect various shipyards across the country to make preparations.
The ferry slowly docked, looking up at a forest of chimneys and billowing black smoke. Zhanjiang Zhonghua Shipyard was jointly invested and built by Jiangnan Industrial Group and Qinzhou Shipyard on the basis of the Guangzhou Bay Repair Factory in France. It is a large-scale company integrating steel, shipbuilding and machine tool manufacturing. It was merged with Qinzhou, Mawei and Guangzhou Huangpu. Known as the "Four Southwest Ships".
The factory is located in Potou District, across the sea from Zhanjiang City. Standing on the ferry, you can clearly see the factory area with rows of chimneys and thick smoke billowing from it. Like most industrial cities, since there are more and more chimneys, there will always be a faint smell of sulfur in and around the city. However, Zhanjiang residents not only did not resent it but also supported it, because after the factory was settled, local life and development were much better than during the French lease period.
Unlike other domestic companies, the Zhanjiang Zhonghua Factory is developing very quickly because both investors are top domestic manufacturing companies and have accumulated 20 years of technology and talent reserves. Although the source of ore here mainly relies on places such as Luzon and Vietnam, in just 6 years, steel production has still exceeded 2 million tons per year, with annual shipbuilding of 500,000 tons and 20,000 units of various types of machinery and equipment. In terms of output, it has reached the level of a company. The size of a medium-sized U.S. shipyard.
In addition to scale, they also attach great importance to technological improvement as they inherited from Jiangnan and Qinzhou, taking advantage of the economic crisis to purchase a large number of advanced equipment. These include a set of German armor steel heat treatment machine tools, an ultra-thick steel plate cold rolling mill, and a 30,000-ton zirconia jointly developed by China and Germany.
There is one forging machine, one 10,000-ton hydraulic press produced in Hanyang, a large extrusion press, etc. If it weren't for the fact that the technical labor force is not as solid as in Europe and the United States, and the design and new technology research and development are not as good as Jiangnan and Mawei, the shipyard will be even better.
Such a large enterprise is naturally the top priority of the military. In addition to the factory's own security, the National Guard has also stationed in Zhanjiang early. The Navy even started building a construction base on the neighboring Donghai Island five years ago. The Marine Corps The Second Brigade is currently stationed at the base.
After seeing the factory receptionist waiting at the door, Bingwen led the inspection team and walked deep into the factory without saying a word. They came here mainly to inspect the product quality, the national standardization level of spare parts, the technical capabilities of workers, etc. The most important two are to check the progress of the Taishan-class destroyer project delivered to the shipyard last year, and the construction speed of the shipyard's latest super-large slipway.
After entering the wide-ceiling semi-enclosed dock, two half-built Taishan-class destroyers appeared in front of us. As the first domestic destroyer to adopt electric welding technology, the Navy took a big risk by placing it in the China Factory, which has slightly inferior technical capabilities. If Yang Qiu had not made it clear that he would take advantage of the opportunity of peace to build military products to strengthen the national factory system.In terms of manufacturing capabilities, the Navy will definitely give priority to Jiangnan and Mawei, which have stronger technologies.
Every warship is a treasure of the navy, not to mention the fleet-type ocean-going destroyers imported from France. So Bingwen and everyone immediately wanted to get inside to have a clear look, but before they entered the cabin, a familiar figure suddenly poked his head out from inside.
