Zhao Shouhong's appeal and reputation in the Western Special Zone are extremely high. Under his call, the people moved consciously without wasting any time.In just two days, tens of thousands of people in this area were relocated.

Then the shuttle machine driven by Sun Wei began to lift the cement prefabricated parts, which was still operated by the maintenance robot of the space hospital, and the construction of the dam began.Half a year before the start of construction, the construction team had relied on large steam excavators to excavate a 30-meter-wide river channel in the north of the Longjiang River and paved it with cement.This will be used as a ship lock after the dam construction to facilitate the passage of ships in the Longjiang River.

In fact, after the completion of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, there is more than just the benefit of power generation. Due to the rising water level, the river boats going to Chongshan City in the first round thought that the deepening of the water level would reach a displacement of [-] tons. more convenient.

Sun Wei carefully operated the shuttle, and the biochemical guard's operation was more precise, so his movements were faster than Shen Ruoxue's.In just six hours, Sun Wei repaired the dam which was several times larger than the original Guanyinba Hydropower Station.The remaining problems will be handed over to the construction team of the electrical appliance factory, but before that, the engineers of the electrical appliance factory must complete the design and manufacture of super-large generator sets.

In addition to solving the problem of power generation for civilian industries, Zhao Shouhong began to solve the problem of air transportation.Although the railway and road network in the Western Special Zone is relatively developed, and new roads have been fully constructed, because of the rugged terrain in the west, ground transportation alone is not enough.

Today's air transportation is mainly airships with as many as 130 ships, but the transportation speed of airships is slow, because part of the hydrogen must be used due to cost issues, and the risk is also high.The bigger problem is that the space and warehouse required by the airship are very large, and the use is quite cumbersome.

Because of these problems, Zhao Shouhong decided to cooperate with the Junkers Aircraft Company, which was relocated to the Western Special Zone, to jointly develop a large transport aircraft.This kind of transport aircraft is dominated by Junkers, and it is named JU250 transport aircraft. According to the indicators agreed by the two parties, the maximum speed of this type of aircraft must exceed [-] kilometers per hour, the range of more than [-] kilometers, and the maximum load capacity of more than one and a half tons.According to the contract, the entire aircraft was designed by Junkers, and the engine was provided by the Aitrich Engine Design Bureau, and the research cost was shared by both parties.

The reason why Zhao Shouhong cooperated with the Junker Aircraft Company of the Teutonic State to design such an aircraft was mainly to promote the revival of the Teutonic aviation industry in advance, because he knew very well that the strength of the aviation industry would affect the future development of the Teutonic State. Whether this sword is sharp, whether it can help Hualan Kingdom cut off the old world and open a new era.

For the aviation industry that is extremely important, it is impossible for Zhao Shouhong to pin all his hopes on the Teutonic company. He even has a hand in order to prevent the other party from obtaining too advanced technology and threatening the security of Hualan State. It is very normal between countries.Therefore, while Zhao Shouhong cooperated with Junkers, he also signed a contract with his own Sikorsky Design Bureau.

The requirements for the aircraft Sikorsky received were naturally much higher, with a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour, a load capacity of more than four tons, and a maximum range of more than [-] kilometers.This design requirement can be described as quite harsh, but Sikorsky has experience in designing the four-engine H-[-] bomber, so he decided to use a four-engine design, and at the same time put forward an order for a radial air-cooled engine with at least [-] horsepower to Ai Rich.

These aircraft cannot be achieved overnight, at least not in the short term at all.However, recently, under the leadership of Zhou Ren, the head of the Materials Research Office, a new type of metal has been researched.This alloy material called Zhou's aluminum is lighter, stronger and easier to maintain than traditional wood. It is a perfect aviation material. All major aircraft design bureaus are preparing to apply this material to aircraft manufacturing. superior.

Although aluminum alloy materials such as Zhou's aluminum are easy to use, it is still very difficult to manufacture, and mass production is impossible in a short period of time. Therefore, Zhao Shouhong stipulated that this material should be used first in conventional take-off and landing aircraft, while seaplanes should continue to use wood.

Because of Zhao Shouhong’s foresight, as early as the beginning of aircraft design, he began to introduce Brazilian balsa wood, and carried out a large number of popular planting in Kokang area and Lanfang Republic. After more than ten years of cultivation, he has already owned a large number of mature trees.These balsa woods are stronger and lighter in aircraft manufacturing, and the use of wood to make the fuselage can provide extra buoyancy for seaplanes without worrying about seawater corrosion. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Soon Zhao Shouhong issued new weapons indicators to all arsenals and aircraft design bureaus. These new weapons may not be popularized in the army, but technology accumulation must not be relaxed.In order not to let the technology lag behind the big powers, Zhao Shouhong even asked the government to fund these advanced research.

Zhao Shouhong believes that with his forward vision, as long as he is willing to invest money, in the future World War II, Hualan Kingdom will definitely stand on the commanding heights of science and technology, so that the losses of the people of the country will be minimized .

It's not just the Western Special Zone that is engaged in economic construction. After the local wars gradually subsided and the pandemic was fully contained by specific drugs, all countries have immersed themselves in economic construction.The economic construction speed of the Western Continent's powers is the fastest. Because of the large amount of loan input from the White Eagle Country, the countries can use their own deep talent reserves to rebuild their economic systems.However, the large amount of loans and war bonds from the war made them unable to breathe. The Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom had to send diplomats to mediate, hoping to suspend the payment of these loans and bonds to free up funds for economic construction.

After the White Eagle Nation agreed to sign a new loan contract to delay the repayment of the loan by increasing the interest rate, the next target of the Saar Empire was the Western Special Zone.During the World War, the White Eagle Kingdom became its largest creditor relying on its strong economic strength and its unremitting support to the Allied Powers.The total amount of loans from the Allied Powers or the issuance of war bonds by the Allied Powers is as high as 20 billion White Eagles. Once the payment of this fund is delayed, all the Allied Powers will breathe a sigh of relief.

Chapter 898 Special Envoys of the Two Countries

Compared with the White Eagle Country, the Western Special Zone is much worse, but there are also a lot of various loans and bonds subscribed in the later stage.The Hanxing Group Company personally purchased the Saar Empire's war bond worth [-] million Baiying yuan and a high-interest loan of [-] million Baiying yuan.The Gaul Kingdom received [-] million Baiying Yuan in war bonds and [-] million Baiying Yuan in high-interest loans.

Such a huge sum of money puts a lot of pressure on the two countries. Even if the principal is not considered, the annual interest alone is overwhelming.Therefore, the representatives of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom hope to discuss with the Ministry of Finance of the Western Special Zone whether it is possible to stop paying the principal and interest within five years, even if the interest rate is increased by [-]% after five years, and all the interest within five years is counted as the principal. OK.

When Zhu Erdian, the special envoy of the Saar Empire, and Lawrence, the special envoy of the Gaul Kingdom, went to the Ministry of Finance in the capital of Shu to meet their ministers, they were received by Vice Minister Yang Cansan.Regarding these two special envoys, Yang Cansan did not dare to neglect, but when he heard that the other party asked for a negotiation, he said that he could not make the decision.

"For such a major matter, it must be decided by the General Consul and the ministers together. You just need to discuss and go to the Consulate General's Mansion." Yang Cansan was quite polite to the two special envoys.

"Can we meet with the Minister of Finance first?" Zhu Erdian has dealt with Zhao Shouhong several times, and he is extremely troubled by his diplomatic style, so it is best to avoid meeting him as much as possible.

Yang Cansan replied with a smile: "Master Zhu Erdian doesn't seem to know that the Minister of Finance of the SAR is the second wife of the Consul General. I am in charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Finance, and major matters are decided by the Consul General and the Second Wife together."

"Woman as Minister of Finance?" Gaul's special envoy Lawrence curled his lips in disdain. In this era, women generally have no rights. Even in the so-called most democratic and free countries in the Western Continent, women do not participate in politics, let alone be an official. up.There is only a special case like the Western Special Zone. The chief wife is the Minister of Chemical Industry, and the second wife is the Minister of Finance. Therefore, the status of women in the Special Zone is very high, and they can even work and earn money like men.However, due to the lack of open-mindedness, the factories that women enter are mainly light industrial factories such as electrical appliance factories and garment factories. These are jobs that require careful work and are very suitable for women.

Seeing Lawrence's disdainful expression, Zhu Erdian hastily tugged on his sleeve. Now that they are here to beg for help, they will be in trouble if they offend the other party.Yang Cansan naturally noticed Lawrence's expression, but he didn't express anything.Because according to Zhao Shouhong, when you find someone else’s thinking is more closed and stubborn than yours, is it necessary for you to enlighten and educate him?You are not his father.

Under the guidance of a member of the Ministry of Finance, the two special envoys arrived at the Consulate General's Mansion by car.Zhao Shouhong already knew the intention of the special envoys from the two countries from Yang Cansan's phone call.Therefore, before Zhu Erdian and Lawrence arrived, Zhao Shouhong and Shen Ruoxue had already discussed how to deal with it.

After Zhu Erdian and Lawrence got off the car, they were quickly welcomed into the living room of the Consulate General's Mansion.The two walked into the living room, facing a gust of cool wind, which suddenly lowered the temperature of the air.It was already summer at this time, and the temperature outside reached over [-] degrees. As diplomats, the two had to wear formal clothes on formal occasions, so they were already sweating profusely.After entering the room, the temperature suddenly dropped by six to seven degrees, and the faces of the two immediately showed enjoyment.

Zhu Erdian has had many contacts with Zhao Shouhong, and they are old acquaintances.Seeing Zhao Shouhong coming up to meet him, he quickly bowed and said, "Hello, dear Mr. Zhao, hello madam, I am very happy to meet you. The technological strength of the Western Special Zone is getting stronger and stronger. The air conditioner invented is really The best equipment in summer, much better than electric fans."

Zhu Erdian admired the air conditioner in the room, and Lawrence couldn't help nodding.Although the price of air conditioners is high, they are very popular. Nowadays, in the high society of Gaul, if anyone does not have air conditioners in their homes, they should not think about holding dance parties in summer.

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm really flattered that both of you can come to see me all the way from thousands of miles away." Zhao Shouhong let the two sit down on the sofa, and waved to the maid to bring them a plate of watermelon smoothie .

The two were obviously stunned. As diplomats of Hualan Kingdom, when they went to the homes of officials in Hualan Kingdom, the owners always served tea.Although they are not used to drinking tea, they also know that it means the host respects the guests. Now that Zhao Shouhong said such a new term, they didn't understand it.

Soon the two special envoys understood what a watermelon smoothie is. Ice cubes frozen in the refrigerator, smashed and poured with watermelon juice is really a good way to escape the summer heat.After the two tasted it, their eyes immediately lit up. They had already endured the heat and thirst along the way. Now that there are such things that can both cool off the heat and quench their thirst, they can't care about etiquette.They didn't straighten up until they had finished eating the smoothies on the plate.

"Commander Zhao always has novel things here. I think this smoothie should be related to the refrigerators produced in the Western Special Zone." Zhu Erdian also has a refrigerator there, so he naturally knows that this thing can be frozen.If you eat ice in summer, if you don't store it in advance, it is ice cubes frozen in the refrigerator, but the cost of the former is much higher.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Nowadays, several electrical appliances produced in the Western Special Zone are selling well in various countries. I believe both of you know that."

Zhu Erdian and Lawrence nodded. They wanted to serve another smoothie, but Zhao Shouhong had already ordered the maid to serve green tea again. "I don't know what the two came to see me this time." Zhao Shouhong sat on the sofa with Shen Ruoxue, who had been silent all this time, and asked them why they came here pretending not to know.

Zhu Erdian and Lawrence looked at each other, and it was Zhu Erdian who was most familiar with Zhao Shouhong who spoke first: "Dear General, as an ally of the Allied Powers, I think you should be very familiar with our country's economic situation. Now our country needs to do our best to Economic construction, there is no extra funds to cash out war bonds and loans, so I hope the Western District can raise your hand."

Zhao Shouhong asked: "Oh? According to Minister Zhu Erdian's intention, do you want us to forgive these public debts and loans?"

"Of course not. The national reputation of the Saar Empire is very important, and we will definitely not lose the national reputation for the money." Zhu Erdian shook his head and said: "We just hope that the Western Special Zone can suspend the claim for arrears, and will not return from Saar Empire for at least five years." The Sal Empire will withdraw the principal and interest. Of course, we will not let the Western Special Zone suffer. For the debt owed by the Saar Empire, the interest on the war bond will be increased to one cent, and the loan will be eight percent. In addition, all interest within five years will be included in the principal. Calculate the interest together."

Chapter 899 Direct Conversation

Lawrence also quickly expressed that he had the same idea as Zhu Erdian.The benefits given by the two countries are not insignificant. Judging from the loans and war bonds provided by Zhao Shouhong to the two countries, if he agrees with the other party's ideas, he can earn at least 3000 million more white eagle dollars in profits. This is still the most conservative estimate.

But Shen Ruoxue has reminded him just now that agreeing with the other party's idea is the most stupid and the way to get the least benefit.Zhao Shouhong also knows how the White Eagle Kingdom has done in history, increasing investment in the Western Continent, and by supporting the revival of its industry and commerce, they have the ability to repay the loan.At the same time, the excess domestic capital is exported to earn greater profits from the countries of the Western Continent.

Shen Ruoxue also had the same idea, but Zhao Shouhong disagreed.Now the White Eagle Kingdom has gained a lot of profits during the war, resulting in excess domestic capital, so they will invest in the Western Continent to avoid inflation caused by excess domestic capital.However, the Western Special Zone occupies a large amount of land, and the number of people has doubled sharply. It is a time when all kinds of wastes are waiting to be built and investment is needed everywhere, so the Special Zone has no urgent need to export capital to the outside world.

In addition, the breakthrough point of the White Eagle Kingdom in the Western Special Zone is the key that can be used to unlock the blockade of the Western Special Zone by the powers of the Western Continent.Now that the White Eagle Country has started investing in the Western Continent, if the Western Special Zone also joins in, it will be tantamount to stealing other people's jobs, and a crack will appear in the bilateral relationship.Once the White Eagle Country also joined the ranks of blocking the Western Special Zone, Zhao Shouhong's idea of ​​using commerce and trade to expand the Western Special Zone during the intermission period between the two wars would go bankrupt.

If you can't get greater economic benefits, you have to earn greater political benefits. Anyway, you can't put money in the two countries and wait to earn interest like ordinary people. That is tantamount to standing still.Zhu Erdian and Lawrence kept staring at Zhao Shouhong's face, and when a strange smile appeared on his face, their hearts began to sink gradually.Zhu Erdian, who was more familiar with Zhao Shouhong, shuddered all over his body. He knew that General Zhao, who was known as a diplomatic genius, might have some bad ideas.

However, before Zhao Shouhong could speak, Shen Ruoxue beside him spoke first. "I don't think your idea is wise. As the Saar Empire and the Republic of Gaul, which were deeply damaged in the war, it is still unknown whether they can recover their vitality within five years. And the plan you proposed is tantamount to Mortgage the funds of the Western Special Zone to you for another five years. According to the recent very bad exchange rate records of the two countries, it is hard for me to believe that your currency will appreciate after five years. Once the depreciation is too large, the Western Special Zone may not be worth the loss. "

Shen Ruoxue's words made the two curse secretly. The last time the Saar pound depreciated was not because of the financial wrestling between the Rothschild family and the Western District.It is simply unreasonable for the two of you to fight a financial war and let the Saar Empire pay the bill.What's more, both parties borrowed in units of Baiying yuan. Today, Baiying country still uses the gold standard system, and there is no exchange rate problem at all.

Before the two of them could refute, Shen Ruoxue spoke again: "According to the news from the Ministry of Finance of the Western Special Zone, just a month ago, the White Eagle Kingdom provided loans of up to 40 billion White Eagle dollars to the Saar Empire and the Republic of Gaul. The interest rates on so many loans are not low, so I don’t know if you can pay them back. Even if you pay them back, in the face of nearly [-] million Baiying yuan in interest, are you still able to pay the loans and public debts of the Western Special Zone?”

Zhu Erdian and Lawrence looked at each other in dismay. They never expected that the Ministry of Finance of the Western Special Administrative Region would know such details.Although the loan from both parties is not confidential information, in less than a month, the Western Special Administrative Region has fully known the details of the loan amount, interest rate, etc. Obviously, the matter is not simple.

After hearing Shen Ruoxue's analysis, they all put away their contempt. Such an opponent is rare even among men, not to mention that the opponent is a beautiful woman.Now they really want to refute Shen Ruoxue's words, but they don't know how long it will take for the domestic economy to return to the pre-war level.

Seeing the dilemma between the two, Zhao Shouhong was quite satisfied.Shen Ruoxue's words have already blocked their thoughts about exchanging interest rates for time, and now it's time for him to play.Zhao Shouhong got up and said: "You two don't need to worry. Of course, I quite agree with my wife's analysis, but there are different solutions to everything. Although the conditions offered by your country are attractive, it is not known whether they can be implemented. If Five years from now, your country will not be able to repay this huge sum of money, and you will delay me for a few years at that time. Wouldn’t it be impossible to get back the funds for the Western Special Zone? Now the Western Special Zone is in a wasteland, and all constructions need money. If the two countries can repay the war bonds and loans as scheduled, even if the interest is not paid, I am willing, and please report to your government."

Zhao Shouhong's words were quite polite, and he even said that the SAR would make concessions, but Zhu Erdian and Lawrence could only look at each other with wry smiles.They know very well that the country is in economic turmoil now, and the funding gap for economic construction is too large. Not to mention that the Western Special Zone does not need interest on public bonds and loans, as long as the principal is returned.Even if Zhao Shouhong only needs to give up the principal for the interest, the two countries can't afford it at the moment, so they don't have to go back and report it at all, and they know what the result will be.

"I'm really sorry. The Saar Empire cherishes the country's reputation very much, but the current economic difficulties are quite serious. If the Western District does not allow us to delay for five years, we really can't make up the money." Zhu Erdian blushed when he spoke Bai, this time it can be regarded as a disgrace.

Lawrence's complexion was also not good. In fact, the situation in Gaul was more serious than that in the Saar Empire.Because the main battlefield of this war was within the territory of Gaul, the country's industrial system was almost completely destroyed.Originally, the Gaul government was planning to use war to support war, and planned to use its industrial equipment to make up for the losses of Gaul after breaking into the territory of the Teutonic country. However, it was unexpected that Zhao Shouhong took the first step and turned all the Teutonic factories into It became the property of the special zone.It was precisely because of this contradiction between the two sides that there was a sensational friendly attack at the beginning. As a result, a major general in Gaul was dishonorably expelled from the army and sent to prison.

Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Lawrence felt bursts of anger. It was obvious that the Western Special Administrative Region was taking advantage of it, which damaged the interests of Gaul.But the speed of their attack is the fastest, and the credit is also great. Even the capital Paris was liberated by others, so there is nothing wrong with it even if they make a fortune.

Chapter 900 Repayment Terms

Now the industrial system of Gaul is almost completely rebuilt, and the funding gap is not smaller than that of the Saar Empire. If you want to pay back the money at this time, even if the Gaul government pawns its pants, it will not be enough.In desperation, Lawrence also expressed the plight of Gaul, and hoped that the Western Special Zone could provide appropriate help.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "Actually, you two are too polite. Hualan Kingdom and the two countries are allies, so naturally we need to help each other. Allies should be based on equality and mutual benefit, and help and respect each other. I don’t know if you two think it’s right?”

"Yes, Chief Zhao is very correct." Zhu Erdian and Lawrence said in unison. They seemed to see hope. It seemed that Zhao Shouhong planned to ask for some more benefits, so he let them go.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouhong changed the subject and said: "Among allies, I think equality is the first priority, and then the sharing of benefits. If the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom occupy a large number of concessions in our country and have extraterritorial rights, these seem not to be What an ally does."
