the world is at stake

What's more, the Chinese side has also won over the old consortium of the United States through various methods such as sharing profits-money, let the Yankees make money, and use the technology at will.I just want to incubate my own industry.
So Brown-style engineers and technicians were recruited to form a research and development team.Their job is to transfer a large number of advanced technologies from drawings to real objects.
For example, in Pittsburgh there will be research on 80 cubic converters, in California there will be research on high-temperature catalytic cracking, in New York there will be research on small high-power electronic tubes, and in Los Angeles there will be a pharmaceutical industry alliance.
Therefore, in the Marine Turbine Power Research Institute in Philadelphia, there will be a high-pressure boiler at 350 degrees Celsius and 2.5 MPa, impulsive steam turbine blades, and a [-]-ton vibration test bench is very reasonable.
These parts cannot be produced in China for the time being, but they can be made in the United States.
Brown's job was to integrate the components to create a large steam turbine for ships with [-] horsepower, and later models for land power generation.
China will first purchase a few units to ensure that the production quality is stable enough, and then the relevant full set of personnel and factories will be relocated to China.
Simply put, an egg hatches into a hen, and it can continue to lay eggs in another place.
By July 1911, 'Shengguang' had arranged seven or eight similar industrial incubators in the United States, and launched dozens of projects.It is estimated that by 7, the number of hatcheries will exceed fifty.
By 1913, related industries would begin to feed back China.
If these industrial parks were built from scratch in China, few of them might be hatched by 1930.
For Brown, China's industrial incubation gave him a high salary of more than [-] US dollars per month, allowing him to change from an ordinary technician in a shipyard to a project manager, greatly improving his status.
In practice, he also deeply realized that Chinese technology is really unpredictable, and the design scheme is several blocks ahead of Europe and the United States.
Even if it is a product designed a hundred years ago, with the manufacturing experience and computer aids accumulated 100 years later, plus the concept of "full life", the designed product itself is cross-generational.
Whenever he looks at the proposals provided by the Chinese side, Brown always feels "exquisite, delicate, and precise", as if he is appreciating some kind of artwork-this is the ability that can only be possessed by mastering the performance limits of materials.
In this regard, the Japanese who are accustomed to buckle up and down are the best - Japanese products are said to be used for a few years, and they will break immediately when the time comes.
In contrast, China learned from the Soviet Union, and for a long time always likes to be 'sturdy and durable'.The old 'Dongfeng' five-ton light caravan twenty-ton is also no problem.
The reason behind it is insufficient grasp of material properties and too much margin.Firstly, the cost is high, and secondly, if the engine is broken, the car body is not broken, which is also a waste.
With the current speed of scientific and technological development, the "high-tech" products in 1911 will be eliminated after five years, and ten years are enough. Will it take another 50 years?
The "full life" design is to keep the performance of the product stable during its service life, but all parts will break down at the same time at a certain point in time, so as to reduce costs.
Achieving this requires a set of extensively tested industrial standards as support, which is not yet available in the United States, so engineers like Brown will find it incredible in practice.
Regarding China's technological superiority beyond the times, the American industry began to panic, thinking that China's incubator would suppress itself.
However, Gao Zhen, who is in charge of the 'Inter-American Development Bank', soon visited various consortiums in the United States, saying that Chinese companies investing in the United States will uphold the principle of openness and are willing to transfer technology and accept shares.
As far as the Chinese side is concerned, using US capital, manpower and material resources to industrialize a certain technology, and reselling it with a "zero" added to the investment amount, is it not unscrupulous?
Anyway, if the Chinese side doesn't do it, the 'Brotherhood' will do it too.But the "Brotherhood" will not sell shares and technology easily, far less generous than the Chinese side.
This move has greatly reduced the wariness of the American consortium against Chinese capital, including DuPont and the like, who feel that they can let the Chinese pay for it and try it first.Once successful, they will buy shares or even hold shares.
Brown led a team of 80 people, relying on the supporting industrial system of the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, and only took five months to build the prototype of the "[-] horsepower" step by step.
This kind of steam turbine should have appeared after World War I. It can be used on [-]-ton ocean-going tankers or freighters, or it can be installed on [-]-ton battlecruisers.
It is a thousand tons lighter than the previous generation of marine steam engine, with higher thermal efficiency, simpler and more reliable, and is currently the king of power—maybe, after all, all the great powers are developing similar technologies.
Brown's team received a reward of [-] US dollars because of the success of 'research and development'.
As the news of the "[-] horsepower" prototype machine came out, many American consortiums offered an olive branch to the "American Bank of Commerce", hoping to purchase or become a shareholder of the Marine Turbine Power Research Institute in Philadelphia.
Gao Zhen spent less than $50 on the institute.
However, only one technology is completed, and the value quoted by the consortium exceeds 500 million US dollars, and it is believed that this powerful driving force will definitely dominate the ocean in the next ten years.
The Chinese side generously agreed to sell the impulsive steam turbine technology to various consortiums, and was willing to transfer 40.00% of the shares of the research institute, and promised that all the money earned would be used to purchase from the consortium companies the equipment needed to process 'one hundred thousand horsepower' equipment and materials.
This is the real "conscience of American imperialism", dedicated to the prosperity of the capitalist market and promoting the rapid progress of human civilization.
The consortium was also shrewd. They found that the Chinese still wanted to purchase production equipment from themselves. Instead, they were not interested in "[-] horsepower" and felt that there was no need to waste money on buying shares.
This can't be done!
Gao Zhen also hoped to get money to expand production.So he thought about it, and sent a sale letter to the 'Brotherhood', asking President Marcos if he would like to buy his own 'advanced productivity'.
Marco was so angry in the White House that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven—Chinese, don't go too far!Use my people, take advantage of me, and now sell me the 'outdated' technology package?
I have no shortage of skills.
This is taking the 'fraternity' as a winner!
Do you really take my president seriously?
But when the news spread, the consortiums were not happy—the Chinese actually wanted to sell such an important technology to the government?No, we have to buy it first.
But... China's advanced technology seems to be a bit too much.
Chapter 75 Provocation
October, Washington.
Tsarist Russia's new ambassador to the United States, Amov, has just presented his credentials to the White House and had a three-hour cordial conversation with President Marco Shi.It was not until nightfall that he returned to the embassy at 16 1125th Street, Northwest District by car.
It was a little cold at night. After getting off the car, Mr. Ambassador looked up at the street lights and guards at the entrance of the embassy, and walked into the embassy with a straight face.He asked his secretary to deliver a cup of hot tea with sugar and milk, and walked into his office alone.
"Your Excellency, is the meeting with President Marco Shi not going well?" The secretary knocked on the door and came in, offering hot tea while greeting with concern.
Amov sat behind his desk, and the light from the desk lamp only illuminated his half body.He is like a quiet statue, silently staring at the darkness outside the window.
Unable to get an answer, the secretary stopped talking, left after putting down the hot tea, and closed the door.Amov then closed his eyes and remained silent, recalling the scene of meeting Marco Shi in his mind.
In the past two years, by assassinating the "court blood monster" Rasputin, the "Holy Alliance" made good friends with Prince Yusupov of Tsarist Russia and Grand Duke Dimitri and other nobles.
Relying on the professional treatment of hemophilia, Pu Dadi got in touch with Queen Alexandra, who believed in mysticism.In addition, he also saved the Tsar's important minister Stolypin from the assassins, and then approached the bureaucracy.
Diplomatically, the 'Holy Alliance' hooks up with the French electorate.
In order to jointly fight against Germany, France provided the emperor with a low-interest loan of 100 billion francs, equivalent to 20 billion U.S. dollars.The usurer empire has always served as Russia's money bag.
Britain and the United States also gave a lot of benefits to win over the "Holy Alliance".From all perspectives, Russia's internal and external situation is very good, and it still has the strength to act as a European steamroller.
But when Amov arrived in New York on a boat across the Atlantic, he couldn't be happier to see an oversized tank being hoisted in the harbor.
The tank was two stories high. The port workers said it was ordered by the Chinese, but they didn’t know what its function was. Amov saw its function at a glance. It was a culture tank that could be stirred automatically, and it was used to cultivate microorganisms by fermentation. .
It is the large-scale production of mycin drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
China ordered [-] similar tanks from Bath Iron Works, specifying the technical specifications in detail - for the ultra-high-profit pharmaceutical industry, "Shengguang" did not open its technology to the American consortium.
China's hand stretched so far that Amov thought of a joke-after the restart of time and space, each chosen faction has a different definition of effort.
The conditions in the United States are the best and the most leisurely. They sit on the strongest industrial strength and don’t have any troubles. They laugh at the changes in the world island, and wait for the exhaustion of all the players before they go to the game to pick up the bargain.
The British have a little sense of crisis, but after being pampered and pampered, they find that they are indeed the boss of the world. Their technology and military strength are stronger than those of the United States, and they also feel comfortable facing the future.
Fayod is in the third gear of anxiety. Each family has its own troubles, but the great powers always have their fortunes.Even Tsarist Russia, the weakest, produces more than 400 million tons of steel a year.
Only the Chinese electorate went like crazy.They have given up on themselves, their family, and everything, just like a burning flame that will not stop until the last heat is exhausted.
Hard work pays off. China's development in the past two years is obvious to all. Japan is no longer qualified to be an obstacle to its rise.
As for the other candidates who are not eligible to appear on the stage, they are at most pawns.
When talking with Marcos, Amov mentioned why the U.S. government does not impose restrictions on China's use of U.S. industries to "borrow chickens to lay eggs"?
Marco smiled wryly and said that he has already restricted it, but the current United States is an authentic small government.Consortia and the public are far more vigilant against the government than foreign countries—the private army of the consortium is more than the government army, can you believe it?
The media is praising Chinese orders to help the United States develop. At present, the American economy is booming, employment has increased, and the health of the people has greatly improved.
In order to facilitate exchanges and cooperation, improve the quality of its products and sell them at high prices, the Chinese government has worked hard to change its image in the minds of Americans.
For example, there are 50 Chinese on the west coast of the United States, most of whom are concentrated in California.After obtaining the permission of the California government, China even sent officials and police to rectify the Chinese.
For such absurd thing, the California local government actually agreed, and thought it was a responsible behavior of China.
Most of these 50 Chinese are Cantonese, who still retain the costumes and customs of the previous dynasty, with long braids, working at the lowest level of work, receiving the most vicious beatings and scolding, and receiving the meager wages.
The Los Angeles Consulate forcibly entered the dirty and messy Chinese community, cleaned up, shaved their hair and changed clothes, and recruited and trained workers.Use them as valuable human resources.
Most of the Chinese workers working in consortiums in the United States today are from the West Coast.In addition to being uncomfortable at the beginning, they are also happy to get a higher salary and live a more dignified life.
Cang Lin knows the etiquette in reality, and knows honor and disgrace when she has enough food and clothing.
China has also set up party organizations overseas, regularly arranges study and complaints, educates Chinese to accept modern civilization, and understands that only the strong rise of the motherland behind them can have a happy life for them.
Organized workers are called the working class, and they have discipline and combat effectiveness. Otherwise, most of them are lumpen proletarians.
The Chinese at the bottom of the United States have been bullied and humbled, they are ignorant lumpen proletarians.The distant motherland can take the initiative to give them a hand, which can inspire strong patriotic enthusiasm and centripetal force, which is completely reborn.
In the eyes of the American media, the Chinese with soaring self-confidence have taken an important step in assimilating into American society.But the social experts of the "Brotherhood" know that Chinese people in the United States have been forcibly changed their minds and will never become Americans.
Talking about this matter, Marco spread his hands in the Oval Office, "It's ridiculous that Chinese police are in Los Angeles and Chinese officials are governing in the United States.
I was so outraged when I learned that I sent a telegram asking the governor of California to explain this degrading situation.But California stated that this is a government and police cooperation project with Shanghai as a friendship city.
Based on the principle of equality, the two sides have exchanged police and officials for exchange and study, and there is nothing degrading to the country.The next day, the newspapers in California published news mockingly, saying that His Excellency the President knew nothing about diplomacy and never knew what a friend is. "
Ma Keshi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"In contrast, China's purchase of goods in the United States and the use of the industrial system to conduct research and development are not a big deal."
Amov was extremely shocked when he heard this--damn, the Chinese can play.It is obviously a weak scum, but it actually wobbled and turned over, and all kinds of routines made the Americans limping.
But if you think about it carefully, Tsarist Russia also had the same problem.
The fact that China borrowed the Siberian Railway to transport equipment from Europe cannot be kept secret for too long, and officials in St. Petersburg know about it.Even Pu Dadi knew it too.
It was obviously the lifeblood of Tsarist Russia's communication with the Far East, and in the blink of an eye it became the blood vessel of China's communication with Europe.
The Chinese National Defense Force compressed the Japanese Kanto Governor's Mansion on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Tsarist Russia was very nervous about the Middle East Road that it controlled, but China had no intention of taking back this railway immediately.
Instead, a few months ago, Harbin sent a telegram to the St. Petersburg Railway Bureau, saying that a section of the railway in Omsk was broken due to the melting of permafrost.
It's been half a month, why haven't you responded?Please send someone to fix it.If you don’t cultivate, we won’t be able to get through.
Only then did St. Petersburg know that the Siberian Railway had been interrupted for half a month.
When Nicholas II learned about this incident, he was furious and severely punished a group of moths in the railway department, demanding that the railway be repaired immediately and prohibit China from borrowing Russian railways to transport Western European equipment.
However, the way for the newly appointed railway officials to repair the railway is to send a telegram to Harbin, asking China to send people to repair it, and even outsource the maintenance and management of some sections of the road to the Northeast China Railway Bureau.
After outsourcing, the Russia-Russia railway department was pleasantly surprised to find that the freight efficiency increased by 20.00%, and the accident rate decreased by 50.00%.
When the report was sent to Nicholas II, His Majesty the Tsar thought that he was well-managed and was very happy-for such things, Emperor Pu could only turn a blind eye and close his eyes, pretending not to know.
After all, if you report it again, although Nicholas II ordered punishment, it will definitely offend the bureaucrats of the railway department completely, and even cause hostility in the entire bureaucratic system.
Maozi's bureaucracy was something that Emperor Pu had failed to tame after 20 years. The bureaucracy of 1910 was only more corrupt and incompetent, and it was impossible to make any progress.
According to the report of the Russian governor of Harbin Robb, China has recently imported thousands of high-horsepower steam tractors from the United States, the kind that burn coal, all of which are used for farming in the Songliao Plain.
These tractors are large and durable, and they worked wonders in the cultivation of summer grain in 1911.In the vast plains, one tractor can replace a thousand farmers, and the farming efficiency is particularly high.
Considering that China's petrochemical industry is starting, coal-fired power is still in strong demand.Tangshan is building a steam tractor factory, which is a combination of several bankrupt European and American factories and relocation and reconstruction.
The new plant will be completed in 1912, when the East China Central Plain will also use mechanized farming equipment.Ordinary people in Henan, Hebei and Shandong can also relax.
Why do the Russians know this?Because part of the European equipment of this steam tractor factory is transported by the Siberian Railway, it is impossible for the 'Holy Alliance' to be ignorant of what is happening right under their noses.
Emperor Puteri wanted to embezzle Chinese goods more than once, because many Russian farmers still use wooden plows.However, the railway department actually stopped him openly and secretly, just because the Chinese paid enough freight, and many people benefited from it.
Plowing, sowing, and harvesting, with the use of machines, these heavy labors will be liberated.
It is conceivable that China's grain production will hit new highs this year and next year, and more farmers will leave the land and move to the cities to become workers.
During the meeting, Marcos provided Amov with a customs report on Sino-US trade, reminding Tsarist Russia that its neighbors in the Far East are rapidly becoming stronger.
"China's steel production in 1911 will reach 120 million tons, which is not much in absolute terms. But it imported scrap steel from many countries in this year.
The United States alone provides 10,000+ tons of rails to China.A large number of second-hand factories were demolished, and machinery and equipment were shipped to China as scrap iron.
There is a recycling team of more than 400 people in the American Huagong, collecting scrap metal products everywhere.The material recycling company they formed has been recognized by New York State and is responsible for handling waste in New York City with a population of more than [-] million.
Every day in New York Harbor, there are one or two cargo ships dedicated to transporting scrap iron to China.Customs believes that the scrap iron exported to China from multiple ports in the United States alone exceeds one million tons. "
According to the customs report, Marcos concluded that the amount of steel obtained by China must be multiplied by at least two, which is more than half of the level of Tsarist Russia.
Ma Keshi provocatively said: "Russia must be vigilant, in case China becomes stronger and regains the Far East, what will you do?"
Chapter 76
The hot tea on the table was cold, Amov grabbed the cup and took a sip, it was cold.He spread out a stack of manuscripts on his desk, preparing to write a report to Emperor Puteri in St. Petersburg, relaying the information conveyed by Marcus during the meeting.
At present, there is a general consensus among the candidates from various countries that World War I will be postponed and World War II will be brought forward.The two wars are likely to be mixed together, doubling in intensity and time-consuming.
'World War I' is actually called 'European War', and the main participating countries were in the European War, and basically had nothing to do with continents such as Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australia.
The biggest change after this restart of time and space is China, and East Asia is destined to become the main battlefield.Once it enters the war, a world war will really happen all over the world.
