Chapter 551 Land Reform (6)
Qingdao Pier Bridge has become a famous scenic spot in the old time and space, but in this era, it is still the main port and dock in Qingdao. Every day, a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships are docked and loaded with imperial goods.
On this day, a fleet from Germany sailed into Qingdao Bay, anchored and moored, and then moored to the trench under the towing ship. The German fleet had a total of 17 ships, including 12 transport ships, with the largest tonnage of more than 7 ooo tons and the smallest one passed 4 ooo tons. They were loaded with machinery and equipment ordered by the Crossing Group from Germany, mainly used for the construction of several important industrial projects such as Qingdao Arsenal, Shipyard, Sifang Locomotive Factory, Power Plant, Steel Plant, and Steel Plant. The other five were escorted warships, including two of the latest German battleships, namely the Caesar Frederick III-class battleships, Caesar Frederick III-class battleships, and Caesar William II.
Now Qingdao's arsenals, shipyards, and Sifang Locomotive Factory have been partially completed and put into production, while the power plant and steel plant have just begun to build the factory. After this German fleet arrives, the arsenals, shipyards, and Sifang Locomotive Factory can complete all equipment installation in a short time to achieve full-load production state. The power plant and steel plant can also speed up the construction progress and complete and put into production as soon as possible. This is also the first step toward the industrialization process of the group.
The industrialization process of the Time Travel Group now mainly relies on the introduction of technology and equipment, which is conducive to the Time Travel Group to quickly establish its own industrial structure in a short period of time and complete the foundation of industrialization, and then reverse the trend to achieve self-production of technological production, and gradually explore and innovate, and conduct industrial upgrading. The disadvantage is that in the early stages of industrialization, it is easy to be technically controlled by others, and also requires a lot of capital to be invested.
Of course, for the current Travel Group, funds are not a problem for the time being. In order to avoid being technically controlled by others, multiple channels have been adopted to introduce the main machinery and equipment from the United States and Germany, and are used in several heavy industrial projects of the Travel Group. Among them, Tianjin's projects mainly introduce machinery and equipment from the United States, while Qingdao's projects introduce machinery and equipment from Germany. The machinery and equipment technology required for other light industrial projects is introduced from other countries such as Britain, France, Italy and Australia.
On the one hand, this approach is to ensure the diversification of technology sources to avoid being restricted by a certain country, and on the other hand, it is to use the same country's technical equipment in some areas to ensure the supporting connection between the same and different machinery and equipment, and unify standards. The important project equipment was introduced by the United States and Germany mainly because these two countries have no geopolitical interests in China. In a short period of time, the chance of conflict with the time travel group is smaller, ensuring longer cooperation between each other.
This time, the commander of the German fleet was Prince Heinrich. The last time he and Tirpitz came to Qingdao and reached a cooperation agreement with the Time Travelers, which saved a lot of interests after Germany lost Qingdao. Now both sides have the intention to further expand cooperation. The Time Travelers also hope to purchase a large number of machinery and equipment from Germany, while Germany hopes to expand its commercial interests in Shandong and sell its own industrial products. Therefore, this time the German fleet not only sent machinery and equipment, but also took back the captured German team, but also had to conduct a new round of negotiations and negotiations with the Time Travelers Group. In this way, Prince Heinrich was naturally the most suitable candidate.
After having the last time he negotiated with the time traveler, Prince Heinrich was also familiar with the senior staff of the time travel group. Moreover, the prince was the younger brother of German Emperor William II. Not only was he trusted by the German emperor, but he also had considerable arbitrary decision-making power. These were the basis for the prince to complete this task.
Qin Zheng, who was in charge of land reform in Qingdao, also made a special trip to the dock to welcome Prince Heinrich and his party.
Prince Heinrich's ship was Caesar Frederick III, which was parked about 3 kilometers away from the shore, so a group of people docked in three small boats.
Qin Zheng also welcomed him and said, "Your Excellency Prince, welcome you to visit Qingdao again. I hope that this time your visit to Qingdao can be completed happily."
Prince Heinrich also said: "Political Commissar Qin, thank you for your greetings. I believe that this visit to Qingdao will be completed happily. To be honest, the last time we cooperated was quite pleasant."
Qin Zheng also laughed and said, "We will definitely not disappoint the Prince, but this time we can only arrange for the Prince to live in the Prince's hotel (referring to the Prince Heinrich Hotel). Perhaps next time, we will receive the Prince in the new administrative building." As he said, Qin Zheng pointed to Dongfang and said, "There is our newly built administrative building and administrative dormitory area."
Prince Heinrich looked in the direction of his finger and saw seven or eight high-rise buildings under construction standing in the distance by the sea. The lowest one was probably five floors. When he came to Qingdao last time, it was still a beach that had not yet been opened. Therefore, Prince Heinrich was also very surprised and said, "Political Commissar Qin, your construction level is so fast. I remember it was only half a year before."
Qin Zheng laughed and said, "In more than half a year, I can do a lot of things."
The Qingdao administrative center and administrative dormitory area planned by the group are located in Huiquan Bay, Taiping Bay area in the old time and space, that is, the area from Lu Xun Park to the first and second sea baths.
According to the plan, a total of 9 administrative office buildings and 50 dormitories will be built to ensure that all the offices and living conditions of travelers are accommodated. Now, three administrative office buildings are under construction, one is 9 floors, the other two are 8 floors, and there are 5 dormitories, all of which are 6 floors. The administrative buildings are frame-type structures, while the dormitories are brick-concrete structures. In this era, such buildings have been considered high-rise buildings because of China.
After more than half a year of construction, these 8 buildings have now been capped with 6, and the other 2 have also been close to capping. In this era, this is indeed a very fast project progress.
Of course, this is nothing to the traveler? Because most non-military travelers are engineers, and most of them are civil engineering installation engineers, so building houses, paving roads and bridges are all familiar with the road. Moreover, in this era, reinforced concrete technology has just emerged and was widely used in engineering practice after World War I in the old time and space. The new type of reinforced concrete structure, prestressed reinforced concrete technology, was not open until after World War II. But for traveler, reinforced concrete, prestressed reinforced concrete, are all quite mature engineering technologies. Various construction specifications, engineering structure technologies, construction nodes, mechanical parameters, etc. have been well-versed and do not need to be tested. It can be said that the construction engineering technology mastered by time travelers is more than five streets away from this era.
Another important factor is that the Travel Group has a large number of steel bars brought from the old time and space, and various models, and a considerable number of them are prestressed steel bars. They were originally taken away by the way when they were evacuated, but now they have become all steel bars used to build 8 buildings.
At the same time, the Crossing Group still has a large amount of free labor. Although most of the soldiers from the country have been released, Britain, France and the United States still have left more than 4 colonial soldiers, and the Russian soldiers with the largest number of prisoners have not been released yet. Moreover, Russian prisoners are almost all strong and strong laborers. One person has to be at least 1.5-2 formal laborers. Compared with monkeys like Indian and Philippines, at least one is more than three. Therefore, in this way, the Crossing Group still has more than 25,000 prisoners, which is still a considerable army of labor.
With mature construction technology, rich construction experience, excellent construction materials and sufficient labor resources, the construction of the construction project of the Travel Group in Qingdao is extremely fast.
Prince Heinrich said again: "But I think your buildings are too close to the seaside. If there is a war, these buildings will be within the attack range of enemy warships."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "We will not let the enemy warships drive to a place where we can attack our buildings."
In fact, the location of Qingdao Administrative Center is chosen by the sea, so it is naturally to build sea views to ensure that the crossing has a good living environment. However, when choosing a site, some people mentioned this issue that it is easy to be attacked by the enemy at sea. Therefore, it is recommended to build Qingdao Administrative Center buildings in an area at least 30 kilometers away from the coast to ensure the safety of crossing people.
However, after consultation, the Executive Committee and the Military Commission believed that the first crossing the group would definitely vigorously demonstrate the navy. Even if the ability to cross the ocean is not able to achieve long-distance combat capabilities, at least it must achieve near-shore defense rather than near-shore defense, so as to ensure absolute safety of the coastal areas. Moreover, the location of Qingdao is within Jiaozhou Bay, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the enemy to attack here. If the enemy's warships can really shell the administrative center, it means that the coastal defense of the crossing the group has collapsed completely, and the enemy will move to fight 6. Therefore, even if the administrative center retreats to build 30 kilometers, safety will still not be guaranteed at that time.
In addition, Qingdao is only a temporary administrative center of the Time Travel Group, and will definitely move to other places in the future. This place is likely to be retained as a vacation and recuperation place for Time Travelers in the future. Therefore, it is completely necessary to build it on the beach now.
Of course, Prince Heinrich didn't know these, but he heard strong confidence from Qin Zheng's words. Moreover, Germany is now developing its own navy and heading towards the ocean, so he can understand the mentality of time travelers.
