The blast furnaces currently needed by China's steel plants are indeed imported, or they completely need the guidance of European and American technical personnel.After the establishment of the iron and steel plant, the use and maintenance of those blast furnaces also hired foreign technicians.But with the development of China's iron and steel industry in these years, Chinese technicians have mastered the use and maintenance of blast furnaces proficiently.

In the process of maintenance, it is also to master blast furnace technology.Some small blast furnaces can be produced by China itself.There are some small and medium-sized iron and steel factories in Handan, and the blast furnaces they use are made in China.Now the government has not invested manpower and material resources.If the government really decides to invest manpower and material resources, it is not that China cannot manufacture large-scale blast furnaces.

"And there are currently three large iron and steel plants under construction in my country. One is the Jilin Iron and Steel Plant in cooperation with Japan, and the other two are the Benxi Iron and Steel Plant and the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant in cooperation with the US Steel Corporation. Among them, the Jilin Iron and Steel Plant has entered Trial production, Benxi Iron and Steel Works and Anshan Iron and Steel Works can also enter production next fall. When these three iron and steel plants enter production and other steel plants increase their production, my country's annual crude steel output can reach 900 million tons, which is almost Compared with Britain and France."

Jilin Iron and Steel Works, Benxi Iron and Steel Works, and Anshan Iron and Steel Works are all steel plants to be established in Northeast China.The reason for choosing the Northeast is because the Northeast is the most suitable for the development of steel plants.

Northeast China needs coal and iron ore, and the traffic conditions are very good.Jilin Iron and Steel Works is a large-scale steel plant with an annual output of 30 tons established in cooperation with Japan, using Japanese machinery and equipment and Japanese technology.The coal will be provided by Jilin itself, and the iron ore will be imported from North Korea's Musan Iron Mine.

The Benxi Iron and Steel Plant was invested and constructed by the U.S. Steel Corporation. It is a truly large steel plant with an annual output of one million tons.Although this is a steel plant invested and constructed by the U.S. Steel Corporation, the plant is located in China, and the output of crude steel produced will also be included in China's steel output.Including Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, which is also a large steel plant with an annual output of 50 tons, which is also technically supported by US Steel Corporation.Only the United States, a powerful steel industry with an annual output of more than 7000 million tons, can build a steel plant of this scale so easily.

So as long as these three steel plants are put into production, China's steel output can rapidly increase by nearly 200 million tons.

When Liang Huankui said it, he was very proud.

Once China's steel production can really reach 900 million tons, comparable to that of Britain and France, it will really be a matter worthy of a close-up.It is a big event worthy of being written into the history of China's steel industry, and even the history of industry.

Because the British opened the door of China, and the modernization of China was also opened by the British, and the shame of China was also started by the British.The Opium War was the beginning of modern Chinese history, and also the beginning of a history of shame.The British left a great shame to the Chinese, but at the same time, the British also left the Chinese with the image of a hegemon.How bullish is Britain in China?

The British ambassador to China can wantonly interfere in China's internal affairs.In the war between Chinese warlords, as long as the British ambassador to China comes forward, everyone will sit down and negotiate.Because everyone dare not offend the British.

And China Customs.

For money, the Chinese government kowtows to the General Tax Department of Customs.I only hope that they can happily hand over Guan Yu to themselves.At that time, Britain really existed like an emperor in China.Even in the eyes of the Chinese, Britain is the eternal hegemony in the world.Although the industry of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom now, the Chinese will definitely not think so.

But finally.

Finally, China's steel production has the opportunity to be on an equal footing with powers like Britain and France.It's amazing when you think about it.Because the British produced several million tons of steel and more than 30 million tons of coal as early as 4000 years ago.To be able to catch up with them now is really an amazing achievement.

"Good, hard work."

Duan Xun nodded.

In 1928, China's steel output was already the sixth in the world.Although I dare not say that China is the sixth largest industrial country in the world, such crude steel production has already shown that China has also begun to enter an industrial country.

Why is the steel industry an important data to measure industrial countries.

That's because as long as the industry wants to develop, it cannot do without steel.It can be said that as long as it is industrial development, no industry can do without steel.If coal is the energy necessary for industrial development, then steel is the foundation of all industries.

No matter how bad you are now, you can't build bridges and high-rise buildings without steel.

"Prime Minister, regarding the iron and steel industry, our Ministry of Industry hopes to adjust the pace and stabilize first. When the Jilin Iron and Steel Plant, Benxi Iron and Steel Plant, and Anshan Iron and Steel Plant are put into use, my country's crude steel output will surely exceed 900 million tons. These crude steel In a short period of time, the output should be able to basically meet domestic demand. Moreover, other steel plants will continue to expand their output. Even if they do not continue to launch other large-scale steel plant projects, my country's crude steel output will exceed [-] million in a few years. Ton."

The rapid increase in steel production has even reached the point where there is a bit of an oversupply.

That's why Liang Huankui suggested stopping the construction of new steel plants.Now China's crude steel production is basically enough for domestic use.

"Then what is the opinion of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry hopes to organize the cooperation of various departments to build a large-scale steel plant with an annual output of about 50 tons with our own strength. Let's see if we have the ability to build a steel plant project by ourselves. Take advantage of this It is also a good opportunity to test our own technical mastery, including the manufacturing capacity of steel plant equipment."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

What Liang Huankui said is also right, you can't always rely on foreigners.Up to now, all large iron and steel plants in China have foreign technology and foreign blood.Most of them are Japanese technologies, followed by British and German technologies. Of course, the largest cooperation project is with the U.S. Steel Corporation.

China has now produced more than 600 million tons of crude steel, and it is also appropriate to try to design, manufacture, and establish a steel plant independently.After all, for a country as big as China, the annual production of 3000 million tons of steel is still too low.Although it is sufficient now, it is bound to be seriously insufficient in the future.With China's size, it should be more than 5000 million tons of steel production in the next ten years.Even reaching [-] million tons is not too surprising.

But if we really want to develop the steel industry in this way, it is absolutely impossible to completely rely on foreigners.You must have the ability to build a steel plant by yourself.Therefore, I agree with Liang Huankui's idea.

"Since the Ministry of Industry thinks so, the Ministry of Industry will make a detailed adjustment plan and factory construction plan for Premier Dai and Premier Wang to review."

"Yes."

Here's the program.

If the Ministry of Industry wants to build a steel factory by itself, it needs to make a detailed plan, and there will be many departments to mobilize by then.

But this kind of thing will not be directly approved by Duan Xun, which is not in line with the procedure.After the Ministry of Industry makes a plan, it must first be handed over to Wang Yongjiang, director of the Economic Development Planning Commission, for review.After Wang Yongjiang's review and approval, Dai Kan, who is in charge of the daily affairs of the cabinet, will give a reply.Of course, Wang Yongjiang was in charge of economic development, and Dai Kan would not veto anything that Wang Yongjiang approved.If it is publicly vetoed, it will be a violation of Wang Yongjiang's power.

Only at this point, such a report will come to Duan Xun.Duan Xun approved the above, then the process is complete.

Duan Xun is the same.

Basically, as long as there is no real problem with the documents approved by Dai Kan and Wang Yongjiang, Duan Xun directly signs and approves them.Therefore, the real approval of the Ministry of Industry's plan is in the hands of the Economic Development Planning Commission.As long as they pass, the subsequent series of approvals are basically procedures.

"continue."

"Next, let me talk about the power industry. I will announce it on behalf of the Ministry of Electric Power. In this five-year plan, the installed capacity data we installed are as follows. In 1924 it was 8.4 kilowatts, in 1925 it was 9.9 kilowatts, and in 1926 it was 12.2 kilowatts, 1927 kilowatts in 17.3, and 1928 kilowatts in 23.2. During these five years, our power plants installed a total installed capacity of 71 kilowatts. By 1928, the total installed capacity of China's power plants had reached 104.7 kilowatts. It has reached 55 billion degrees. The five-year plan to install power plants in cities with a population of more than 5 has been completed."

"Is there any data for the United States?"

Duan Xun interrupted Liang Huankui.Liang Huankui immediately nodded and said: "Yes, but it is not the data of 1928, because we have not got the data of 1928. But the data of 1927 is that the power generation of the United States just exceeded 1000 billion kWh. The power generation of the United States is our twenty times that."

Duan Xun nodded and said nothing.

Because this is normal.As the world's largest industrial country, it is no surprise that the United States has a power generation capacity of more than 1000 billion kWh.On the contrary, China's power generation capacity exceeds 50 billion kWh, which is already quite good.

When the United States broke out in the Pacific War, its annual power generation exceeded 2000 billion kWh.After the end of World War II, the power generation capacity of the United States exceeded 3000 billion kWh.

China is still young in comparison.

50 billion degrees, when will it reach 1000 billion degrees.

"And then there's oil production."

525

"Let's talk about oil production next."

After talking about coal production, steel production, and power generation, Liang Huankui began to talk about oil.If the oil problem hadn't erupted suddenly in recent years, the Ministry of Industry would not have paid attention to the oil industry at all.

When the five-year industrial plan was formulated five years ago, there was no plan on oil, and there was not a word about oil.Because in the minds of Liang Huankui and the senior officials of the Ministry of Industry, oil is not of great importance.

Where was China able to use oil at that time?

That is, the plane.

Then there are very few parts of kerosene, candles, ink, etc. used by the people.For this little thing, the kerosene produced by Yanchang Oilfield and Fushun is enough.Later, there was the Yumen Oilfield, and this was even less of a problem.

At that time, there was only one energy source that was most important to China, and that was coal.Therefore, the Ministry of Industry puts more emphasis on coal than all other industries.

Even now, when the Ministry of Industry reports, the first one is coal.

But who would have thought that China's auto industry would suddenly begin to develop.With little warning, China's auto industry sprung up.

China imported truck production lines and motorcycle production lines from Germany, and American GM and Ford decided to build factories in China.All of a sudden, China's auto industry began to prosper.
