Zhan Tianyou is now the director of the Liaodong Railway Bureau, at that time, Liu Jun did not return Zhan Tianyou to Li Hongzhang after asking Zhan Tianyou from Li Hongzhang, these years, Zhan Tianyou has been responsible for the construction of railways in Liaodong, in general, most of the railways in Liaodong are designed and built by Zhan Tianyou.

Today, Liu Jun summoned Zhan Tianyou because he had an important matter to discuss with Zhan Tianyou, this matter is how to build a railway network in the southwest, of course, in Tibet, in 20 years, Liu Jun did not dare to mention this matter, after all, the technology or anything is not in place, and to mention this matter is to deceive himself and others.

Hearing that Zhan Tianyou was in the side hall, Liu Jun immediately closed the document in his hand and motioned for Zheng Yiqian to call Zhan Tianyou over, and a few minutes later, Zhan Tianyou, who was wearing a black tuxedo and was a little chubby, walked in.

Although Zhan Tianyou is the Minister of Railways, he is outside all the year round, which causes him to be darker all over his body, but this does not affect Zhan Tianyou's position in Liu Jun's heart.

Seeing Zhan Tianyou walk in, Liu Jun immediately stood up and said, "My chief engineer is here, welcome well." ”

Speaking of welcome, Zheng Yiqian on the side knew what Liu Jun meant, and after she smiled slightly, she walked over, brewed a cup of Tieguanyin for Zhan Tianyou, and put it in Zhan Tianyou's hand.

"The marshal summoned me urgently, not just to invite me to tea." Zhan Tianyou, who sat down, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

This was really guessed, hearing Zhan Tianyou say this, Liu Jun smiled, then got up from the chair and came to a map hanging on the wall.

This map, the discerning person knows at a glance that this is the southwest map. ”

Seeing Liu Jun walking in front of the map, Zheng Yiqian and Zhan Tianyou, who were next to him, put down the teacups in their hands and followed behind Liu Jun.

Seeing that the two people were coming, Liu Jun smiled, and then picked up the command pole from the wall next to him and said, "I'm going to build a map from Hanzhong to Chengdu, you see how it goes." ”

Hanzhong to Chengdu? Zhan Tianyou, who heard this, looked at the map and didn't say anything, he didn't know how to answer Liu Jun's question now, after all, he hadn't measured anywhere.

"Dashuai, I agree with the construction of the railway in Chengdu, but whether it can come out of Hanzhong, or whether it is suitable or not here, then I don't know, you have to give me time to understand, maybe, from Baoji, it will be better."

This, Liu Jun didn't understand the railway, so when he heard Zhan Tianyou say this, Liu Jun smiled, and then said: "Over the years, in terms of railways, you are a talent, and the Liaodong Railway University you established has cultivated too many railway talents, so I will give you full authority to be responsible for this matter." Speaking of this, Liu Jun picked up the pen and said, remember one thing, the railway in the southwest is not built to Chengdu, in the future, from Chengdu to Guiyang, and then from Guiyang to Kunming. When you go to Chongqing, you have to build it with me, this thing is not something that can be completed in three or five years, so I decided to name this plan as the Iron Armor Plan, and let you be the person in charge of this plan to build the railway in the southwest. After saying this, Liu Jun looked at Zhan Tianyou expectantly.

The railway in the southwest, Zhan Tianyou, who heard this, was a little excited, lowered his head and thought for a while, Zhan Tianyou took out the pen from his hand and said: "Dashuai, I think, our railway bureau can undertake the construction of the railway from Shaanxi to Chengdu, as for other aspects, I think it is still through bidding, in this way, we can save a lot of time."

This method is a very good way, Liu Jun did not object, but nodded and said: "You go back, discuss it with the Government Affairs Department of the Government Affairs Office, and then come up with me and come up with the plan for me to take a look."

"Understood." After hearing this, Zhan Tianyou knew that Liu Jun would soon start the construction of the southwest, so after answering, he turned around and walked out.

"Do you really want to spend a lot of money on the construction of the Southwest Railway network?" After Zhan Tianyou left, Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin, who was repeated, stepped forward to ask the doubts in their hearts.

Hey, hearing the two people asking, Liu Jun shook his head helplessly, he knew that he had no choice.

The southwest is currently the most unstable place in the whole country, and at the same time, it is also the place with the worst transportation. A lot of materials, the same distance, in other places, you can reach it in three days, but in the southwest, it takes a week gradually, which is nothing in normal times, but once a war breaks out in the southwest, or if there is a conflict on the Vietnamese side, then this transportation is a big trouble, and this is simply asking for your own life.

Therefore, the stability of the southwest is, to a certain extent, suitable for transportation construction.

The temporary instability in the southwest is because there are bandits, but this bandit is only temporary, and he is really unstable because there are two countries that have always had bad intentions, one Britain and the other France, which are not good things. They may be their biggest trouble in the future.

In order to be able to deal with these problems in the future, Liu Jun decided after careful consideration that he would mobilize funds and give priority to the construction of transportation routes in the southwest and northwest.

"There's no way, we can only do that right now." Seeing that the two people didn't understand, Liu Jun directly slid the only stem in his hand down slowly, and then knocked twice on the map of India and Vietnam.

Understood, seeing Liu Jun tapping twice on the map of Vietnam, Zhong Lin immediately understood the real reason for Liu Jun's construction of the Southwest Railway, it turned out that all this was prepared for the French and the British.

"Head, then, in the future, there will be a certain shift in our economic construction, right?" Although Zhong Lin didn't understand much about the economy, he still said his thoughts.

Liu Jun did not object to Zhong Lin's opinion, but smiled and said: "Almost, some of our things in the future will be adjusted according to the progress of these aspects, of course, your intelligence bureau, the task remains the same, give me all the focus to shift to the south, staring at Vietnam and South Asia." ”

"Don't worry, I promise, in South Asia, any every move, I will report to you with great accuracy. (To be continued.) )
