Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Woo~ Accompanied by the blast of firecrackers and the rumble of drums, a train carrying twenty-four carriages rumbled into the huge Xincheng Railway Station, greeted by countless fluttering colorful flags.  There were two ribbons tied on the front of the train, and it blew a long whistle. It slowed down like a dragon and slowly entered the station, and stopped submissively next to the brand-new Platform No. 1.  With this train as a symbol, it means that after three years of construction, with the Yunnan Railway subgrade from World War II as the core, the renovated and rebuilt railway finally successfully connected the east and west sections, achieving full line connectivity.  Now, from the base area, it is completely integrated with the domestic railway network. From the south to Guangdong, to the east to Shanghai, and to the north of the capital, you only need to change trains once in Kunming, and then via the Shanghai-Kunming Railway and Chengdu-Kunming Railway, you can smoothly reach any destination  City.  The newly built Xincheng Railway Station has a main waiting hall with three floors above ground and two floors underground. It is built with reinforced concrete columns and a steel frame glass hall. It covers an area of ??18,000 square meters and is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of passengers at the same time.  Waiting for the bus here, the whole scene presents a distinct sci-fi style and is magnificent.  In addition to the main waiting hall, there are also various functional buildings such as hundreds of meters of glass-topped rain-shielding corridors, underground entry and exit passages, ground diverters, taxi parking areas, ramps, elevated diverters, etc., extending to both sides.  Extending for more than two hundred meters, it forms a huge modern three-dimensional building complex.  There are also twelve docking platforms in the station, which are enough for twelve trains to dock at the same time. Among them, there are eight platforms for passengers to get on and off, and four platforms for cargo loading and unloading. It can transport more than 20,000 passengers in and out at one time.  people, carrying more than 5,000 tons of cargo!  The smooth opening of this railway is of great significance to the base area: from now on, the base area deep in the mountains will no longer be blocked.  Whether it is the exchange of personnel or the transportation of various raw materials and goods, this railway can achieve unimpeded exchanges with the country, integrate more closely into the domestic economic circle, and better utilize the strong domestic economic potential to develop itself.  , and also actively provide feedback to the country to achieve a political and economic pattern in which both prosperity and decline occur.  The biggest bottleneck that previously restricted the development of the base area no longer exists!  On this joyful day, Guan Fei, Zhang Shengguo, Sun Yaohua and other key cadres from the base area all attended the station opening ceremony. Tens of thousands of citizens, students, workers and technicians spontaneously poured into the station, sighing at the magnificence and beauty of the new station.  With tears in his eyes, he watched the first train enter the station with joy and shouted a heartfelt cheer.  In the past, when they went back to visit their relatives, they could only take a vehicle carrying supplies and ride in the wind and bumps for hundreds of kilometers. After arriving in Kunming, they had to find ways to buy the nearest train ticket to their hometown and stay on the train for several days, regardless of the fatigue of the train and horse.  , to reach some big cities where the train stops.  The whole journey lasted a week or even longer, and the body was very exhausted. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Now that the railway is connected, they can take a train directly from Xincheng Railway Station to Kunming.  Then, according to the agreement between the base area and the country, there is no need to queue up to buy tickets. You can exchange your tickets at Kunming Station and transfer to the Chengdu-Kunming and Shanghai-Kunming lines to return home directly. The travel time is shortened by more than one-third, and you can stay at home more.  It only takes two or three days, and the whole process is less strenuous than half.  Thousands of miles of rugged terrain will turn into a smooth road!  Although the journey is still long and somewhat tiring, the connection of the railway means that everyone no longer has the feeling of being a wanderer alone.  It is as if they are just working in a certain city in China. They have a greater sense of emotional dependence and belonging. They feel that the base area is closely connected with the motherland, like a whole. Their lives are more secure and they are more motivated to work.  ¡­ ¡­ The Yunnan-Xiu Railway is divided into two sections, the domestic section and the base section. The domestic section passes through Menghai Port and ends at Ruili. These two points are connected to the base section.  ?According to the location, it consists of a center line and a change line.  The middle line starts from Menghai and is divided into two parts from the middle, running through the north and south of the base area, and ends at Gunong County.  Due to the large gap in the mountain road, construction difficulties, and lack of funds, the railway has just been built to Mengxi. It is still more than 70 kilometers away from the southernmost point. It is not expected to be completed and opened to traffic until the end of 2081 or the beginning of 2082.  .  Construction of the Circle Line has not even started yet.  In half a year, the highway in the outer circle of the base has just been initially completed. Some sections of the road have not even had time to be fully paved with cement roads, and they are still dirt roads.  For the circular railway planning, only the roadbed part has been completed. The sleepers, rails, etc. will have to wait until funds are in place before they can be partly cast by themselves and partly purchased from domestic sources.Only then can we start construction.  Even optimistic estimates suggest that it will not be until the end of 2083 that the circular railway will be fully opened to traffic.  ¡­ ¡­ The middle line railway crosses the boundary river from Menghai and splits into two after reaching Kangka Town. One line goes directly south to Longkang, Mengxi, and finally to Gunong.  The other one turns east from Kangka and extends the Kangka-Xincheng Valley Highway. After reaching the Salween River, it turns south and leads to Xincheng Railway Station. Then it runs through the whole city from Xincheng Railway Station and exits through the valley in the south.  , arrives at Longkang, and merges with another line, heading north or south.  The route to Xincheng Railway Station also splits into two after reaching the Salween River, one going north and one going south.  The line going south to Xincheng Railway Station is a civilian line, but the line going north is a military line leading to the ammunition factory.  There is a permanent guard post here, and a platoon is stationed to check the passes of passing vehicles and pedestrians. Any individual or civilian vehicle that is not allowed to enter will be stopped at the fork in the road and will not be allowed to pass.  ¡­ ¡­ It was dark, and it was already twelve o¡¯clock in the evening.  The lights in the arsenal were still bright. The last shift of workers had completed equipment maintenance and repairs, and strictly stored flammable and explosive raw materials in accordance with the requirements. After repeated verification by factory leaders, workshop leaders, and team leaders that there were no hidden dangers, workers gathered in small groups.  He left the workshop with a smile, registered and signed at the factory gate, and walked to the dormitory area, or went to the canteen for a late-night snack, or returned home to rest.  Although the workers have left, the lights are still on in each workshop, and the soldiers responsible for protecting the safety of the factory also lead police dogs and patrol the factory area responsibly.  The bright lights illuminate the workshop as bright as day, and there is no blind spot. The guards can clearly see the inside of the workshop through the large glass to confirm that no one is hiding in any unnoticeable corner, and carry out operations when no one is watching.  destroy.  After the expansion of the base area, in order to ensure normal training and combat reserves, the ammunition factory added five bullet production lines and three artillery shell production lines, and the production time was also increased from the normal eight-hour shift per day to two shifts per day.  Before the production line, the daily output of a single shift was 40,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 1,000 rounds of various types of artillery shells.  After increasing the production line and changing to a two-shift system, the output increased twelvefold, with a monthly output of 14.4 million rounds of 5.8mm ordinary steel-cased bullets, and 200,000 rounds of grenades, mortar shells, special armor-piercing shells and other types of artillery shells.  More than ten thousand hair.  Normally, each soldier in the Israeli military division fires live ammunition once a week, with 75 rounds each time; the artillery trains with live ammunition twice a month, with 10 rounds each time. In terms of training consumption, this production capacity is just enough for a month of training for a 50,000-person force.  Used, cannot increase inventory.  And just for this level of training, the monthly cost in terms of cost is as high as more than two million!  This does not include the damage to guns and artillery caused by training, the maintenance costs caused by the wear and tear of gun barrels and barrel rifling, and the treatment and pension expenses for injuries, disabilities, and sacrifices caused by personnel training.  There are also astonishingly large expenditures on weapons, personal equipment, and monthly salaries, allowances, subsidies, etc. for military commanders and combatants.  This shows how difficult it is to raise an army, especially an elite army!  More importantly, the base area maintains only a light infantry force with insufficient heavy firepower.  The cost of normal training at this level alone is staggering. If it is a fully equipped tank force, armored force, or air force, the monthly consumption, equipment wear, depreciation, and replacement costs are even more terrifying.  Guan Fei still has a way to make money, and he can also rely on the processing and manufacturing capabilities built in the base area. There is almost no outsourcing, and a large number of self-produced weapons and equipment are used. After training, bullet casings and other items can be recycled and remade.  Consumption has been reduced to the extreme. It is still very stressful to maintain such a force. It is necessary to desperately make money in the international market to subsidize the operation of the base area.  Think about how difficult it is for the Yading military government, which is even more strapped for money, to raise a regular army of more than 300,000 people with an army, navy and air force.  It¡¯s no wonder that the equipment of the government army is outdated and backward. Up to now, they are still using World War II-level weapons. The soldiers are poorly trained. They were defeated in the first battle and they all have no money!  A penny cannot defeat a heroic man.  No matter how ambitious you are, if you have millions of soldiers in your chest, and you know everything about astronomy and geography, you can't do anything without money.  No matter how hard you try to build up a team, if you don¡¯t have money to pay wages, the troops will be distraught; if you don¡¯t have money for training, it¡¯s even more of a formidable enemy. No matter how strong your army is, without regular training for a long time, it can turn into a sick cat, and you can be bullied at best.  With militia-level armed forces, they could only suffer defeat after defeat against Guan Fei's regular army.  As the cadres and workers gradually dispersed, the factory area became quiet, with only the neat footsteps of the security guards patrolling by from time to time, breaking the silence from time to time.  In the factory headquarters, it is also bright here.  In all officesThe lights were all on, and in the event space in front of the office building, high-wattage incandescent lamps illuminated the surrounding area as if it were daytime, and could be clearly seen even a hundred meters away.  ¡°A few dozen meters away, you can see super-heavy flatbed loading trucks parked quietly in the open space.  Hundreds of officers and soldiers, wearing dark green camouflage uniforms and round hard helmets that were different from ordinary troops, sat quietly on the ground, silently.  Everyone in the factory department has left, not even a person on duty at night. Although the whole building is as bright as day, there is no one around.  At the front of this group of specially dressed commanders and fighters, there are two generals wearing uniforms with the rank of major general.  They are Guan Fei, the commander-in-chief of this secret operation, and Sun Yaohua, who specially put aside his work and made a special trip to pick up the car.  The opening ceremony of the train station was completed in the morning, and they immediately drove to the ammunition factory, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the special train.  "It will take several hours for the train to arrive, right?" Sun Yaohua raised his wrist and looked at his watch, with a faint hint of joy in his expression. He was a little excited, a little expectant, and a little anxious.  He felt that time was moving so slowly. He watched the second hand ticking and turning once, and then the minute hand moved insignificantly. He wished he could grab the dial and turn the pointer to where he wanted to wait.  time to go.  "For the sake of confidentiality, the special train will not leave until after nine o'clock. At that time, the general public will be asleep and the items loaded on it will not be seen. Don't worry, our items will arrive soon" Guan Fei looked through the light  , looking at the dark distance, looking forward to the same.  Looking forward to the arrival of that thingMobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
