Chapter 970: Five Cars and Six Ships Base
The Japanese are still far behind the Americans and Germans in terms of technology and ideas, and they are far from being as strong as the world's auto factories that have risen after learning from the pain.
Meng Xiang also looked down on the Japanese automobile manufacturing industry, and was far more aware than others of the huge potential energy exerted by the automobile empire, which laid a high foundation for the automobile industry in China from the beginning.
The advanced technology and equipment of the Germans, the Americans, the French, the British, and even the Italians, the Czechs, and the Soviet Union and Russia have all been integrated into the advanced standards of China, which are full of modularization and standardization, and systematization through the little accumulation of Meng Xiang.
At a time when Huaxia's own standards have not yet been perfected, cars of various countries have begun to be copied in Huaxia, and the prototype of the five golden flowers of Huaxia's automobile industry has gradually formed.
The five golden flowers do not represent five factories, but represent five regions and five styles.
The Japanese in Changchun and Shenyang have left equipment for processing and repairing automobiles, and Shenyang has been able to use foreign core parts to manufacture automobiles during the Feng period.
Whether it is the standard of mechanical specifications or the mode of training workers, it also has Japanese characteristics. Meng Xiang simply packed all the car equipment of the looted Japanese and placed them near Changchun and Shenyang.
Only later, with the destruction of Japan, there will never be a Japanese style to carry forward, Shenyang and Changchun as the core of the Northeast Automobile Belt, by the Soviet Union from the Russian packaging of many trophies of automobile machinery and style, and Boli, Vladivostok as the core of the Soviet Russian style base of the Far East Automobile Circle gradually integrated, forming the overall style of the Russian-Japanese mixed system in the Northeast of China.
Among them, the style of the Far East such as Boli is biased towards the old Maozi equipment, while Shenyang and Changchun are biased towards the fine construction of Japanese products, but they are all better than the blue, and contain part of the essence of another style.
This is like Beiping and Tianjin, where the automobile industry was initially established by German standards, but with the increasing number of American equipment and technologies brought in by Huaxia, the style was also influenced by the American style, forming a German-American mixed style.
But in the whole of North China and the Central Plains. Even Shaanxi, Wuhan and other places are still the mainstream of German style.
On the contrary, in the so-called western region of China, which is west of Lanzhou and includes the whole of West Asia, the American automobile style became popular. Replaced the Russian traces at the beginning.
Except for Qingzhou and the large industrial area of Ordos, which have always maintained the German style, there are very few others that have maintained a consistent style. Even the automobile industry in Guangxi, Vietnam and other places has a strong French style, and has begun to add British and Czech flavors, and Myanmar and Malaya have also added Italian flavors to the British style.
In the southwest region, including part of Southeast Asia, the automobile industry has completely degenerated into a mixture of European styles.
This is obviously a little simpler than Shanghai's automobile companies, which combine almost the world's style characteristics.
However, Shanghai's automotive industry is taking advantage of Shanghai's strength. It has been integrated with hundreds of schools of thought to form its own unique style.
Other parts of Greater South China that have not yet developed their own unique style, including parts of Southeast Asia and most of Australia, are still lingering in the British style.
Now that the British were beaten by the Germans to the point that even their homeland was in danger, in addition to pulling in the Americans and counting on the Americans to contribute, they also encouraged all the British Empire's spheres of influence to organize resistance and become self-reliant. Insufficient production capacity of weapons and ammunition. The British, who were in dire need of all kinds of munitions, undoubtedly became good customers of the umbrella company.
For the sake of honor, for the sake of royalty, for the vital interests of the homeland. The British dare to sell anything.
Similarly, after seeing the level of finished umbrella weapons, the British also relaxed the restrictions on some high-end technologies for the umbrella, so that the umbrella can easily obtain a large number of high-tech technologies.
These things changed hands and became the cornerstone of the peak in some technical fields in China. The machinery and equipment obtained from the British or from the Germans also made some places in China the benefits of the British style, forming inertia and difficult to change, and the British car technology is really good.
It has to be said that the level of the British automobile industry was definitely no worse than that of Germany and the United States in that era, but the cost and scale of production limited the development of the British automobile industry, which was among the top three in the world at that time.
For those predators in London, they are more interested in the pure game of capital than in industry. As long as you swim in the pool of financial capital, you can scavenge for the wealth created by others in a lifetime.
British industry is in decline, but many technologies still represent the highest level in the world. For example, the engine, whether it is for a car or an airplane. The British have created a series of classics, giving birth to a power giant like Rolls-Royce Power, which is comparable to Pratt & Whitney in the United States.
Of course, there are also classics such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Land Rover.
The British car with a bit of aristocratic atmosphere became the favorite of the rich in the south.
Russian-Japanese, German, American, French-Italian-Jet-European mixed, British, the five major styles in the early stage of the Chinese automobile industry are constantly integrated and through, flashing a lot of bright spots, only to absorb many Chinese heritage elements on the basis of broad compatibility, and lay the foundation of Chinese characteristic automobile civilization.
Among them, the Japanese style has little impact on the development of Huaxia Automobile, even those machines and equipment that fill the original accumulation process of Huaxia Automobile Industry, Meng Xiang, who continues to attack the world, is not eye-catching.
However, he also admitted, and is happy to admit, that the equipment and technology scavenged from Japan did directly consolidate the cornerstone of Huaxia's shipbuilding industry.
Since the Meiji period, the Japanese have been stimulated by the Americans who have opened their doors to pay special attention to the sea, so they have a national navy, and they have continuously made enough money from the Chinese and Russians, and later in order to dominate the Pacific Ocean, they spared no effort to invest in the navy, and at the beginning of World War II, the naval strength also climbed to the first place in the world.
Although it was quickly compared with the Americans, and even the German navy expanded rapidly, even surpassing Japan, the Japanese navy still belongs to the top three in the world. The Japanese shipbuilding industry, which supports the Japanese Navy, is also one of the largest in the world.
The fact that the largest battleship in history, the Yamato-class, and the largest aircraft carrier in World War II, Shinano, was built is enough to prove that the technical level of the Japanese shipbuilding industry has also entered the world's top ranks.
However, most of the belongings that these Japanese have accumulated for a hundred years have now changed their surnames to Huaxia.
A Kure Navy Yard, plus shipyards in Nagasaki, Kobe, Osaka, Tsurumai and other places, Huaxia suddenly owned most of Japan's shipbuilding capacity.
Now those places have become large demolition sites, dismantling and packing related equipment and machinery day and night, and sending them to cargo ships seized from the Japanese and transported to various coastal cities in China.
Before attacking the Japanese mainland, Meng Xiang and Zhou Bai and others determined the planning plan for the placement of these equipment, and together with the shipbuilding foundation that Huaxia had accumulated, the six bases of Huaxia's shipbuilding industry were formed.
With the blockade of the pioneer artillery, the heavy artillery and newly developed shore-to-ship missiles from various countries, plus the coastal fortress fortifications under the transformation of the base, and the surrounding fighter defense groups and coastal fleets, the entire Bohai Bay has become the safest inland sea in China.
Dalian, Tianjin, Yantai, Weihai, Qinhuangdao, Huludao, Dongying, and even Qingdao, Rizhao and other cities in the Yellow Sea together form the shipbuilding industrial base of the Bohai Rim.
With the transformation ability of the base, coupled with the battle of the sea of people in Huaxia, Meng Xiang even pushed out the plan of Caofeidian's super port in advance.
Also with the help of the base's capabilities, a series of plans to dredge the Yellow River and strengthen the river embankment are being implemented.
Because of the different subsistence standards, many surplus laborers have joined the army of environmental protection transformation of barren mountains and slopes, and millions of laborers have repaired the splendid rivers and mountains of China over the years.
The greening project launched early on to control the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River has been fruitful, and with the help of the base, the Yellow River has at least become much more regular, at least near the mouth of the Yellow River, and the changes are more regular. This also makes it possible to take advantage of the large-scale transformation of the base near the mouth of the Yellow River to form 5 ports and wharves of more than 10,000 tons such as Dongying.
This was complemented by a large number of small and medium-sized shipyards that sprung up near the Yellow River Delta, and like the inland shipbuilding system with Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing, Boli and Guangzhou as the core, they made full use of the small-scale shipbuilding equipment of the Japanese, and were most influenced by the Japanese shipbuilding technology, which has always liked to be meticulous.
The North Sea shipbuilding belt of China is formed along the coast of the Whale Sea, with the Korean Peninsula, Vladivostok, and Sakhalin Island as the core, all the way to the Bering Strait, and even the Arctic Ocean. In these areas, the Soviet Union and Russia have more equipment, and the Japanese have less equipment, but the technology is borrowed a lot.
The East China Sea shipbuilding circle, which is composed of Shanghai, Taiwan, Lianyungang, Ningbo, and Hangzhou Bay, has fully absorbed the advantages of Japanese technology and formed its own style with the help of existing heritage.
The South China Sea shipbuilding circles in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Fujian, Singapore, Hanoi, Jakarta and other places also have their own unique style background, and have also benefited a lot from Japanese shipbuilding technology. Only west of the Strait of Malacca, including Burma, part of India, the Middle East, and Australia, the West Sea shipbuilding circle, which formed along the coast of the Indian Ocean, was less influenced by the Japanese style.
But in any case, the entire shipbuilding industry in China has taken advantage of the Japanese dividend. (To be continued)
