"Science and technology are constantly developing, and the scale of war is also increasing. If a country can deploy more troops to the battlefield, it will be more likely to win. Of course, the soldiers who go to the battlefield cannot be equipped with too backward equipment. " An army colonel said to Nicholas II at this time.

Nicholas II blushed. The saddest thing was that the Russian soldiers who participated in the First World War were so poor that they didn't even have shoes.

"Sometimes too many people are not good, because there is simply no time to produce so much military equipment." Nicholas II seemed to be defending. [

"That's when the industry is relatively backward. Why don't you please visit the Baoding military industrial base!" The colonel suggested to Nicholas II, and he still used honorifics in the address, which was regarded as a gift to Nicholas. Second, save some face.Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren called Nicholas II in an equal tone.

"Yeah!" Nicholas II nodded, still very concerned about China's military strength, if China really has the ability to restore him, or even rule the whole of Europe...

Thinking of this, Nicholas II's heart throbbed again.

The convoy arrived in Baoding that day.

Baoding, this was an important military town in the north in the past, but with the internal stability of the Republic of China, there are not many troops stationed in Baoding.

But Baoding also has a 'Baoding Military Academy', which is a military school specially used to train junior officers, while Huai'an Military Academy is specially used to train middle and senior officers.

At the same time, there is also a large-scale military production base in Baoding. One-third of the military production in North China is located in Baoding.

After arriving in Baoding, Nicholas II visited the Baoding military production base the next day.

The Baoding military base mainly produces rifles, artillery, and muskets and cannons.

I saw a sliver and cannon assembly line running continuously.The guns and guns were processed and assembled at an extremely fast speed.

Among them, machinery occupies a large proportion of production.

In the manufacture of rifles, Zhijian Military Factory uses automatic professional machine tools. A barrel is put down and processed directly.

The processing speed is extremely fast.

This kind of machine tool can only process one thing, unlike ordinary machine tools that can process everything.But the efficiency is many times higher than ordinary machine tools.

Facing the highly automated military production, Nicholas II was shocked.

It is unimaginable that this country, which was once more backward than Russia, has developed such terrifying military manufacturing technology.

"As long as we need it, we can expand the scale of military production at any time. It doesn't take too long to produce tens of millions of rifles." The accompanying army colonel said lightly: "The guns and guns are not a problem. It is Because our Republic of China adopts the world's most advanced manufacturing technology, our soldiers are like an inexhaustible supply of medicine."

Nicholas II was shocked again.

...[

A few days later, Nicholas II took the train directly south again and came to the bustling Jiangnan District. Along the way, he could see factories everywhere in North China.

In the Jianghuai Plain area, there are even more factories.

I saw the entire North China Plain and the Jianghuai Plain.Roads and railways are everywhere, and the traffic is already very convenient.

At this time in China, the railways and roads in the plain areas have basically been repaired, and the infrastructure in these plain areas is no worse than that in Europe and the United States.

After Nicholas II came to Huai'an, he visited Huai'an's tank production line and aircraft production line, and was even more amazed.

But he crossed the Yangtze River.When I came to the bustling southern Jiangsu area, I was even more shocked by the prosperity here. At this time, southern Jiangsu is the most prosperous area in China.

Although there are not many heavy industries in southern Jiangsu, the light industry is mainly concentrated in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In addition, this area is also the radiation area of ​​China's financial center, and has a very profound cultural heritage. Its prosperity can be imagined .

Moreover, Nicholas II saw a large number of construction sites along the way, and various infrastructures were being built on the construction sites, such as railways, highways, reservoirs, power stations, and various cities were transforming the cities.

That's right.It is a transformation.

At this time, the construction of major cities in China was relatively backward. Before the First World War, there was not much construction. After the First World War, they were busy building infrastructure and engaging in export-oriented production.

When the focus of construction was on the interior, various cities began to transform.The cost of retrofitting is relatively low now.Because the houses in various cities are mainly earth houses with brick and wood structure.

Coupled with the fact that the government has money now, the renovation of various cities has been put on the table one after another.

The focus of the transformation is to widen the streets, build urban drainage systems, power supply systems, and running water systems.Wires cannot be pulled randomly and must be buried in the ground.

The streets should not be too narrow, because in a few years, China will explode with cars, and if the streets are too narrow, there will only be a tragedy of traffic jams.

There are also ring roads, parking lots, and gas stations that are included in the planning.

Therefore, various cities across the country are building large-scale construction projects, and at the same time, large-scale commercial housing has also begun to be built across the country.Today's Chinese architecture majors, like Hong Kong's later generations, have a "Feng Shui Specialized Course". Even if it is a small commercial house, we must try our best to make it exist in a pattern, at least not to build a haunted house.

Urban reconstruction and real estate construction have created many jobs in various cities, and many laborers who worked on railway and highway construction sites in other places began to return to their hometowns.

After all, the wages in my hometown are similar, so why not go back to my hometown?

The return of these laborers did not cause too much trouble to those projects, because at this time the Republic of China still had many Russian laborers.

At the same time, there are many Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Siamese laborers. These laborers are openly recruited by the government of the Republic of China, and they come to the Republic of China with work visas.

However, these workers cannot run around, they can only stay around the construction site, and when the working hours are up, they will go back and forth with money.

The laborers in those vassal states are good. Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese laborers are all deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so they can endure hardships and stand hard work. [

Siamese laborers are much worse. Siamese men are a bit lazy, but they are better than those Indonesian monkeys, and they are also capable of work.

The labor of these feudal states is more convenient to manage, and some production tools are handed over to them without fear of being destroyed by them, so they can undertake a higher level of construction than Russian labor.

At this time, China has really begun to build in an all-round way. The railways in the north have almost been built, and there are only a few township-level roads.

The construction of railways and roads began to be transferred to the Beihai administrative region, the newly established Central Asian administrative region, as well as the southern provinces, as well as the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang region.

In the north, urban renewal began.

Urban transformation in the south is also underway, but many cities that are not open to traffic are still under planning. Although the construction costs of railways and roads in the south are higher, the economic potential of the south is very strong.

Especially in the Guangdong area. At this time, Guangdong Province is no longer the southernmost large province of the Republic of China, and there are Indochina Peninsula and Nanyang region further south.

Therefore, Guangdong Province is just in the middle of the southern region, and its economy can be connected to the inland of China, as well as the islands in Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula, making Guangdong's development potential even greater.

Many industries began to transfer to Guangdong, most of which are export-oriented industries.

The domestic demand-oriented industries began to transfer to the central region, and the military industry began to transfer to the Northwest and Central Asia. The main products transferred to the Northwest and Central Asia were some pharmaceutical production lines. industry.

More important military industries, such as the manufacture of tanks, aircraft, and self-propelled guns, are located in the west-central region, because it is the safest place.

This year's steel output also increased significantly. After the outbreak of the First World War, China began to build iron ore mines in an all-round way, making iron ore output explode every year.

Especially in the Indochina Peninsula and the South Sea islands, as well as in India and Australia, after iron ore investment began to go into production, the supply of iron ore became more abundant in 1918, so steel production began to rise steadily. In 1918, China There is no doubt that the steel output of the Republic of China increased to 4000 million tons.

However, the steel production of the United States in 1917 was only 3500 million tons, which was much smaller than the historical steel production. This was mainly due to the development of China's steel production.

At the same time, there is also the reason for Germany's restriction of submarine warfare, because German submarines overturned the merchant ships of the Allies, and there are not enough ships to transport export materials for the United States.

Therefore, the steel production in the United States has been maintained at this amount and cannot be increased.

After all, the economic development of the United States at this time is still driven by exports, and internal construction has not yet begun on a large scale, and the upgrading of industrial equipment has not yet begun.

In contrast, most of the industrial equipment used in factories in the Republic of China is the most advanced in the world, and advanced productivity is rapidly being popularized.

Driven by such advanced productive forces, China's development speed has surpassed that of the United States.

During this period, the largest construction activities in the world mainly took place in China. After the United States entered the war, many laborers went to join the army, and the construction speed was much slower than that in the early period of World War I.

Under such circumstances, the Republic of China can build more things in one year than all the countries in the world put together.

Because at this time, among the major countries in the world, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia are all in a state of war.

After Nicholas II visited China's steel production base, he was even more amazed.The advanced level of China's industrial production technology has far exceeded his imagination.

At this time, Nicholas II finally understood why Russia was defeated by China. Although this was related to China's cutting off the Siberian Railway and putting the Russian army in a state of supply, it was also closely related to the overall rise of China's industry.
