761 Civil Aviation
"We don't need to think about the aftermath of those arms dealers now, they have many ways to sell their arms, we don't buy them, there are so many people in the world waiting to buy them." Li Le said this to Speer disapprovingly, and then discussed other things.
"Arms dealers don't need to transform, they just need to produce the best weapons and equipment to ensure their profitability." In the end, Li Le talked about the supply industry around the munitions.
"Other peripheral industries are actually very easy to transform, and we don't need to worry too much about it." Li Le stretched out a finger and nodded on the branch production plants such as tires and parts production: "What we need to care about now is infrastructure construction!" ”
Only good infrastructure construction is the driving force for development. Only good infrastructure construction can make subsequent development twice the result with half the effort.
"The speed of construction of civilian airports must be increased, and now even the letters sent to soldiers are a little stretched, which is absolutely not good!" Li Le saw some of the problems in this report at a glance and opened his mouth to arrange.
"Airport construction, Hess...... If you ask for it yourself, I want to spread it to every corner of Europe! The airport should be the same as the big train station! Li Le gave his own standards.
"The design of large transport aircraft has also been put on the agenda, with the development of technology, the number of civil airliners will be more and more, if you don't build now, wait for the need to build, it's too late!" He looked at Hess and spoke.
How many civil airports are there in Germany today? There are only a dozen of them! How many planes are there at these civil airports? There are only a pitiful hundred or so.
These 100 planes are not the Boeing 737 large passenger aircraft of later generations, and the passenger planes of this era can only fit more than 20 people at most, which is not a behemoth.
Therefore, such a civil aviation throughput can simply be described as shabby. Not to mention air logistics, in fact, most of the aircraft are in the service of the mail business.
Is it because of the high cost of building the airport? Apparently not, the German engineers built more than 40 field airfields at the front in one fell swoop, without even blinking an eye.
In fact, there are as many as 57 dual-use airports under construction in Germany.
Including radar navigation base stations, the speed of airport construction in Germany is several levels higher than that of the United States.
Is that because planes are expensive? Actually, no, even in the 21st century, it is not the cost of aircraft that restricts the development of aviation.
The main problem for these reasons is, on the one hand, the scarcity of pilots who can fly, and even after the end of World War II, the number of pilots in various countries is very large, and there are never enough pilots in the field of aviation.
Cultivating a pilot is definitely not an easy task, and it is a very expensive investment, and it also consumes countless hours, which are hard investments that cannot be escaped.
In fact, it is not simple for a pilot of a military aircraft to switch to civil aviation, and flying a large transport aircraft and flying a civil aviation are completely different things, so similar qualifications still need to be evaluated.
Even in the 21st century, a civil aviation pilot who switches jobs from one company to another is a "transfer fee" of millions of yuan, which is not much cheaper than a football player.
For such a practical reason, when training pilots, all airlines sign strict and expensive labor contracts in advance, and the contract of sale is almost the same.
Another main reason is that because of the business problem, in the aviation field, there is no bottleneck in funds, and hundreds of millions of dollars of aircraft can be bought, and it is not difficult to build an airport.
However, the most important reference criterion is how much value there is in building an airport and whether it can return to its original cost.
If an airplane is bought, if the route loses money, it can be transferred to a profitable route and add a flight of one frequency, and the plane itself does not lose money.
So no matter how expensive the plane is, the major airlines will not be stingy and add new planes to their companies.
But the airport is different, if you build an airport, but there is no decent consumer group around, you can only lose money.
Building an airport is like opening a restaurant, looking at the consumption level around you; Buying a plane is similar to buying a taxi, and if business is bad in the east of the city, you will go to the west of the city to solicit customers, and the income will always be there.
In this case, it is undoubtedly prudent to invest in the construction of airports. After all, no one knows what the future development of the aviation industry will be.
However, Li Le does not need to wait and see, of course he knows the popularity of airports in Europe in later generations, and of course he knows how terrible the development of the aviation industry is.
Not to mention civil aircraft, private airports and private jets will also be popular in the future, and even unmanned public aircraft will be proposed for research in the Internet age.
Therefore, Li Le encouraged the consortium that was loyal to him to invest in the construction of airports There are 43 civil airports under construction in Germany, which have almost spread to all parts of the country.
Moreover, these airports are not contingency products that meet the standards for propeller aircraft take-off and landing, they are behemoths that meet the standards for the use of future aircraft.
By today's standards, 300 propeller planes are no problem at airports, and in the future it will be easy to park 10 or even 20 passenger planes.
Although the ground construction standards did not meet the standards of later airports, the land area and the construction of the main buildings were built in accordance with the standards of later airports.
It can be easily improved with the progress of the times, and eventually become the standard civil airport of the future, which continues to serve the surrounding cities.
Even some of the standard facilities of the future airport were reserved during the construction of the airport, and similar lines and pipelines were buried in the ground early, ready to lay lighting equipment and network lines in the future.
Once these airports are in service, they can drive logistics, rely on logistics to temporarily support air transportation, and then drive passenger flow in.
Eventually, civil aviation will develop, and these airports will become the new arteries of Europe. Investing in infrastructure in advance will pay off exponentially over the next decade.
"My Führer, I will personally supervise this matter, and Goering's side will also support this plan, it is not a big problem." Hess thought of the improvement of his position, and the recent depression of Goering, and replied with a smile: "He has never refused the production of airplanes, whether civil or military, and he thinks that the more things that can fly, the better......"
