The assembly of Nyasaland is qualitatively different from assembly in the general sense.

The prototype of the "monster" brought by Rudolf Diesel was produced by the Chaddar Engine Company in Chicago, USA, and was replaced with a diesel engine produced by the Augsburg Machine Building Plant in Germany, and tracks produced in Nyasaland were added, which became the current "complete body".

Compared to the prototype produced by Chaddar Engine Company in Chicago, USA, the "Monster" is already a completely new design, and it is completely different from the prototype, so Roque has the confidence to say that Nyasaland can now "produce" tractors.

For Nyasaland, being able to produce tractors on its own means a lot.

You must know that Nyasaland is also a British colony now, so Nyasaland is also a dumping ground for British products.

In order to protect the country's industry, the British government would limit the industrial development of Nyasaland in order to best protect the interests of the British Empire.

Strictly speaking, the British government even wanted the colonies outside the mainland to produce only a single product, so that the British government could control the colonies more effectively and its overseas colonies could be more effectively united around the British Empire.

Before the 19th century, the British government did this, and after the 19th century, this way of maintaining the colonial system could no longer be maintained, and Britain had to gradually loosen the colonial system.

Roque was born at a good time, after the Boer War, Britain had begun to shrink strategically, so Roque was able to show his skills in Nyasaland, if it was 100 years ago, Roque wanted to engage in industry in Nyasaland, even if Roque was a nobleman.

In fact, even now, Roque has to selectively develop industry.

For example, the textile industry in the United Kingdom, which is already very mature, is almost impossible for Nyasaland or the Transvaal to develop and grow.

Before the Transvaal was self-governing with the British government, the textile mills in Johannesburg were at most at the initial stage of processing wool, so that they could sell their products to Europe and become part of a mature European textile industry.

Nyasaland didn't even have the opportunity to develop the textile industry, so Roque could only choose the "tractor", an industry that was not even produced in the UK, or the products in the UK were seriously defective, and this was the opportunity for Nyasaland.

At present, although the United States, Sweden, Germany, Hungary and the United Kingdom and other countries have begun to study tractors, in fact, because the tire problem cannot be solved, all tractors in the world are still in the laboratory, and it is impossible to use them for practical applications.

Originally, it was not until 1906 that the Holt Tractor Manufacturing Company in the United States produced the world's first tracked tractor, which was still powered by a gasoline engine.

The following year, mass production of the Holt tractor began, making it the most successful tractor in the world.

Now, the crawler has become the patent of the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and the Holt tractor is estimated to be a Nyasaland tractor.

The Nyasaland Agricultural Company here is not the same thing as the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company, which has signed a loan contract with the scumbags, these are two completely different companies.

Because of Rudolf Diesel, Nyasaland Agricultural Company already has all the patents for diesel engines, which means that Nyasaland is now de facto qualified to produce tractors.

Everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, as long as Roque buys the machine from Europe, the Nyasaland tractor will be officially put into production.

"Locke, you are a monster, sure enough, only a 'monster' can produce a 'monster'-" Xiao Si couldn't help but lament after knowing the situation, referring to the degree of demand for labor in the world, he knew the market prospect of tractors, this is an incomparably huge blue ocean, and the ship of Nyasaland has now set sail.

Now the ship is still a small ship, but after a few years, no one knows if this small ship will become a giant ship.

It can't be said that no one knows, Roque must know, and now he can have a hunch, but not for sure.

"Cecil, I also want to solve our manpower shortage problem, don't worry, I will charter the tractor in Rhodesia in the future, and I will give you a preferential price with the highest discount." Roque laughed, his brother settles accounts, even if the relationship is good, he has to pay for buying things.

"You wait, I won't let you be complacent for too long." Xiao Si was ruthless, and at this time Xiao Si finally realized what Roque meant by no longer looking for pleasure in ordinary people.

If you want to bully, you have to bully people who are about the same strength and status as yourself, so that you can have a sense of accomplishment.

"Okay, I'll wait for you-" Roque is not in a hurry, in terms of industry, it is probably impossible for Rhodesia to catch up with Nyasaland.

You may not believe it, don't look at Cecil Rhodes in 1895 to take Rhodesia, but Rhodesia's current industrial base is almost zero, and even the only railway in Rhodesia was only built at Roque's insistence.

Nyasaland has only been in Roque's hands for more than a year, and under Roque's management, Nyasaland now has a copper mine and a smelter, a shipyard, and an arsenal that can only produce Henry Martini rifles, and soon there will be a tractor factory, and even the motorcycle that Bobby Holt is working on, Roque can set up a factory in Nyasaland at any time.

Any of these options, under Roque's leadership, could develop into a Big Mac, and Rhodesia wants to catch up with Nyasaland, unless Xiao Si is also a traverser.

Even if Xiao Si is a traverser, it will be difficult for Rhodesia to catch up with Nyasaland, and in the industrial industry, one step is slow, and the first-mover advantage is still obvious.

For example, the track, don't look at this thing inconspicuous, but the Nyasaland Agricultural Company owns all the patents for the track, as long as the Nyasaland Agricultural Company does not authorize it, then all countries in the world can only pinch their noses to buy tractors produced in Nyasaland.

Don't say you won't buy it, infringement is a very dangerous thing, because there are cross-patents between countries, and once infringed, it will cause a serious chain reaction, and the end result will be that all countries in the world will suffer serious losses.

During World War I, British factories produced German Krupp patented products, and had to pay German Krupp patent fees, although the war was over by the time the patent fees were paid, but giving money and not giving money are two completely different concepts.

Therefore, the first-mover advantage in industry is so great that it cannot break this rule unless a country voluntarily relinquishes the patent rights of all its own enterprises.

——

After the demonstration, Rudolf Diesel returned to Nyasaland with the Monster, and while further improvements were made to the Monster, Roque also began to set up a tractor factory.

Rudolf Diesel's next major task, Roque to Rudolph Diesel's request is to further improve the diesel engine, power must be the top priority, volume and noise, vibration can not be ignored, in fact, the noise and vibration of the diesel engine is not unsolvable, after the middle of the twentieth century, many cars also use the application of new technology diesel engine, at this time the performance of the diesel engine is as good as the gasoline engine.

The current diesel engine and gasoline engine are certainly not comparable, perhaps in the eyes of others, the "monster" has been very perfect, but in Roque's view, the "monster" still has a lot of room for improvement, so the road of scientific research is endless, in Nyasaland, do not want to rely on an invention patent to be honored, and further progress is the king.

Preparing for a tractor factory is difficult to say, and simple is simple.

Roque chose the more difficult one, and if he was someone else, he probably only produced tracks in Nyasaland, and then bought an engine in the east and a chassis in the west, and produced the tractor as simply as possible.

Roque's requirements are high, since the tractor is a blue ocean, then Roque must be completely self-produced, from the engine to the driver's cushion, Roque must be produced in Nyasaland, so as to ensure the interests of Nyasaland, will not be clamped down in the future production process.

It sounds like 100% self-produced parts seem to be very troublesome, in fact, it is not so difficult, the industrial level of this period is still very low, what 3C, UL, ISO nothing, Bobby Holt researches motorcycles, and it can be produced in a small workshop with simple tools, so it is not difficult to complete 100% self-production of parts.

Although the British government probably does not want to see the development of industry in Nyasaland, British companies do not care whether the government wants to or not, as long as there is money, British companies are willing to earn, you don't earn, someone is willing to earn, under the banner of free trade, as long as Roque can afford the money, it is no problem to copy a Buckingham Palace in Nyasaland.

Therefore, Roque will not be hindered in buying a machine, and the German Augsburg machine building factory, which also has a diesel engine patent license, is even willing to provide a complete diesel engine production line for Nyasaland.

However, what the German Augsburg machine factory did not expect was that Rudolf Diesel did not like the engine production line of the German Augsburg machine building factory, and Roque decided to produce tractors in Nyasaland, and Rudolf Diesel immediately said that he could design a new production line for Roque.

Rudolf Diesel is the inventor of the diesel engine, and the German Augsburg Machine Building Factory is only Rudolf Diesel's partner, and Roque of course trusts Rudolf Diesel more, so Roque's headhunting company in Germany refused the production line provided by the German Augsburg Machine Factory, and just dug up a few engineers and some skilled workers from the German Augsburg Machine Building Factory, and then ended the contact with the German Augsburg Machine Building Factory.

Compared to machines, people are more important.
