Chapter 387: Illusion and Patriotism
readx; More than an hour later, Shi Zhaoji and Ye Gongqiu walked out of Chen Jingyun's office, and Yan Jing Kuang outside saw that although their facial expressions were the same, Yan Jing Kuang was able to be Chen Jingyun's accompanying secretary, and this observer's kung fu was naturally home, and he found that Shi Zhaoji and Ye Gongqiu inadvertently revealed a little radiant feeling, like joy and excitement, so Yan Jing Kuang couldn't help but mutter: "What did they talk about inside?" Is there something good about it? ”
Although I don't know what Chen Jingyun, Shi Zhaoji and Ye Gongxuan said just now, they still know in general that what they are talking about is nothing more than about the railway, and it is also the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway.

In fact, most of the railways in China today are concentrated in the northern region, with Yanjing as the center and radiating in a network to the northeast, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui and other provinces. In the southern region, the construction of railways has been slow due to topographical and political problems, and even the Jiangnan region, the most important industrial, agricultural and commercial area in China, has only barely laid a railway network in the past ten years, and only after the Shanghai-Nanjing line, Shanghai-Hangzhou line, and Jinpu line have the Pearl River Delta, the largest economic circle, been incorporated into China's railway network.
In the case of the Jiangnan region, the construction of railways in other southern provinces has been even slower, and the originally planned Guangdong-Hanzhou railway has not been able to start construction on a large scale due to various reasons, so that this planned north-south artery has not been able to become a reality in time. The railway construction in the western region is also still in progress, the Longhai railway has been proposed in the pre-Qing era, last year when the Beiyang political axe has signed a loan construction contract with the Belgian consortium, based on the original part of the hundreds of kilometers of Bianluo railway to extend to the east and west at the same time, to the east in Xuzhou to connect the Jinpu line, and then continue to the east to Lianyungang, to create a new new port city for China. The plan to the west is even more ambitious, extending from Luoyang to Xi'an to Lanzhou, creating an east-west artery in north-central China, but it is still only the beginning of the preliminary construction, and the contract with Belgium only includes the preliminary part, and the subsequent construction work has not yet been decided.
The reason why the northern region was able to build railways on a large scale has a lot to do with the relatively flat terrain in the north. If the southern region wants to build the same east-west artery, starting from Shanghai and arriving in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and then to Nanchang, Hunan, Zhuzhou, Hunan, Huaihua, Guizhou, and then to Guiyang in Guizhou, Kunming, Yunnan, the construction difficulty of the whole project is many times higher than that of the Longhai Railway, and the overall project cost will be higher.
The hilly and mountainous terrain of southern China as a whole brought great difficulties to China's early railway construction, which also caused the current area controlled by the Nationalist Army to not have too many railways, that is, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway from Shanghai to Nanjing, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway from Hangzhou to Ningbo under construction, and several other extremely small railways, such as the Zhangzhou-Xiamen Railway from Zhangzhou to Xiamen in Fujian, the Chaoshan Railway, and the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway (Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Kowloon) and a few other sections. There is no large-scale railway network at all, which is extremely inconvenient for local economic development and military transportation.
This is why Chen Jingyun turned his attention to long-term development, that is, he set his sights on the railway, no matter what era, to develop economic transportation must be the first place.
Chen Jingyun's plan to build the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway is not a secret, and he Yanjing Kuang naturally knows some details.
Recently, when Chen Jingyun frequently summoned officials of the Ministry of Communications and often read information about railways, Yan Jing Kuang guessed that the construction of these two railways should be about to take shape.
And this time, Chen Jingyun summoned Shi Zhaoji, the chief minister of the Ministry of Communications, and Ye Gongqiu, the director of the railway department, which revealed the meaning obviously.
While Yan Jing Kuang was muttering and speculating outside, Chen Jingyun in the office was sitting on the sofa, and opposite him was a small board with a map of all China, depicting many blue, red, and green lines. Each of these lines has its own meaning, for example, the blue line is the railway line that has been built, the red line is the railway line under construction, and the green line is the main inland waterway route.
Inland waterway transport and railway transport lines crawl all over the map of China, from the map can be seen to be able to understand the current traffic situation of the whole of China, the Central Plains and the north and northeast regions are all over the blue line, obviously the railway network is the mainstay, and in the Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin is the green line all over, obviously mainly river transport. In the blue-green crossing, there are many red lines, which are railway lines under construction or planning, including Longhai Railway, Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway.
In this "China Railway Master Plan", the Republican Political Axe Railway Department put forward several major railway construction plans, the first is to continue to build the Longhai Railway, and continue to extend from Lanzhou to the northwest region, until Jiayuguan, Hami and then to Turpan, Xinjiang Province. The second pole extended from the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to Datong, and then to Baotou and then to northern Mongolia to Kulun. The third is to build a southern, east-west trunk line, based on the planned Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and then gradually extend westward to Kunming, Yunnan. The fourth is to continue the construction of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and open up the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, the north-south main artery.
The four major trunk line plans proposed by Ye Gongqiu also include some branch line plans, but the main body is still based on these four major trunk lines. When Sun Wen proposed the so-called 100,000 miles railway plan, he simply took the map and then drew a straight line directly when he saw a place name, ignoring other factors at all, and the map of the founding of the country was simply like a spider web, those railway lines were straight, and he didn't care about the reality of the northwest and southwest China. Especially in the desert and sparsely populated areas of the northwest, there are more railway lines than in the bustling north and east of China.
According to Ye Gongqiu's own words: this is the difference between professional and non-professional!
Of course, this railway master plan contains the plan of the entire Chinese region, and it is also a preliminary plan, Ye Gongqiu also made it clear that his master plan is only a preliminary plan made according to the economic and military purposes of each region, and the specific lines have to be demonstrated in detail, but even if these trunk lines are offset by hundreds of miles, but Ren Jiu has the same four major trunk lines.
The north and southwest and even other regions are now under the control of the national army, Chen Jingyun wants to build the railways in those places, and now he is only concerned about his own one-acre and three-point land, such as the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway, such as the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and if he can, he also wants to build a war-ready railway in Fujian to connect Fuzhou and Nanchang, and the level of the railway does not need to be high, as long as it can transport logistics materials and troops in wartime, as for commercial use, it is not in consideration. Although the construction of this war-ready railway will indeed play a role in promoting the economic development of Fuzhou and Jiangxi, the effect is limited.
Strictly speaking, the railway line in the direction of Mongolia and the railway in the direction of Xinjiang Province are also war-ready railways, and the main purpose is not to develop the local economy, but for military purposes. However, in addition to military use, it can bring great economic benefits to the local area. The two complement each other, except that in economically developed areas, economic factors are more important, while in remote areas, military factors are more important.
Due to the limited economic benefits of similar war-ready railways, it is very difficult to attract private capital for investment, after all, when the time comes, it is said that they are profitable, and even the cost estimate will take a long time to recover, which is far less good than investing in railways in economic development areas. Therefore, the construction of these war-ready railways can generally only be led by the state.
Looking at these dense lines on the map, Chen Jingyun seemed to see the steam trains running through the land of China, passing by the industrial cities with thick smoke and pungent smells, and these trains were like blood vessels supplying these industrial cities with nutrients. At the same time, countless steel war machines, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, guns, and shells were produced in these industrial cities. They were loaded onto the train, which then arrived with these weapons to the border army, and the huge Chinese army carried them to sweep through all the enemy with a crushing force
In the blue sky, there are countless warplanes with five-colored stars, which fill the entire sky, bringing death and destruction to the enemy.
In the vast ocean, there are endless warships, and their figures are all over every inch of the sea, bringing anger and shock to the enemy with huge cannons.
Looking at the map of China with intersecting lines, Chen Jingyun seemed to see the scene of the rise of a great power, and he seemed to see the revival of China that he used to buy people's hearts and send countless young people to the battlefield every day!
At this moment, Chen Jingyun was deeply immersed in the scene he imagined, and a trace of impulse that he had never had before gradually arose in his heart, as if his heart was beating rapidly, but his eyes did not know when to show a trace of fanaticism, and walked towards the map, stretched out his hand to touch the map in front of him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the scene in his eyes instantly shattered.
The outstretched hand was quickly withdrawn, the originally somewhat fanatical eyes had disappeared, Chen Jingyun withdrew his gaze from the map, and then returned to the sofa and closed his eyes slightly.
The feeling at that moment just now was very strange, Chen Jingyun thought that he was an egoist, and the so-called country or nation was just a tool for him, although he talked about the rejuvenation of China every day, and the Chinese nation was an excellent nation in the world, but he himself knew very well that this was just a propaganda slogan he shouted, which was used to buy people's hearts, so that countless young people fanatically rushed to the battlefield for their own power.
