My Italian

Chapter 376: Naples Machine Works

Watching the liveliness of Britain and Germany, you need to stand farther away, otherwise you may be accidentally injured. Of course, the most important thing is to have enough strength, otherwise the possibility of being accidentally injured will greatly increase.

For Carlo, strengthening Italy is something that must be done at every moment.

After returning to Rome, Carlo immediately found the Minister of Industry Gregory Medici to discuss the construction of the diesel engine factory.

Isn't this a rush?

In fact, there is no rush at all. It takes time to plan the place, then arrange the land, connect water and electricity, and build factories. And when the time comes, I believe that Diesel, who has full support, should come out with a new diesel engine. Carlo is so obvious that the person in charge of the power laboratory can't understand this. Of course, he fully supports the work of Professor Diesel, who may become the next Tesla Baron. So building a factory really has to plan ahead.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to build a diesel-fueled internal combustion engine plant?"

Facing the puzzlement of the Minister of Industry, Carlo didn't want to explain anything and answered directly. "Yes, it's better to have enough land for development."

Although Carlo's remarks did not make the Minister of Industry understand the importance of this diesel-fueled internal combustion engine, he at least knew that it was enough for the king to value. In fact, there is also an official culture in Italy, and the instructions from Carlo can make officials move faster.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, then I suggest that it is best in Naples."

Gregory Medici immediately gave his reasons. "I consider that the outskirts of Naples belong to a lot of industrial land, and the infrastructure such as water and electricity is not bad in Naples. In addition, Naples has a port for transportation. Since it is the production of internal combustion engines, it needs various materials. There is also no shortage of metal fabrication plants that can meet their requirements.

Another advantage is that Naples has a lot of idle labor, and it is easier to recruit here. "

Well, this last one is indeed the reason, and it is the most important reason. Because at the top of the government, there is an open secret that cannot be stated clearly. If you need to build a factory, there are two places with similar conditions, but one is in the south and the other is in the north, then you don't have to think about it, you must choose the south.

That's right, it's that extreme.

In order to reduce the economic gap between Italy's north and south, the Italian government racked its brains. There is a lack of industries in the south to accommodate excess population. This is easy to handle. The government will give priority to the south for new factories. Moreover, after the discovery of coal and non-ferrous metals in Kosovo and high-quality iron ore in Libya, steel plants were built in the south to drive economic development in the south.

After a series of efforts by the government, the economy of the South has finally improved, and the gap between it and the North has not widened.

That's right, even if the economy has not expanded or decreased, the gap is still how much. No way, compared with the mature economic development in the north, the economic development in the south still lacks a little, even with the encouragement of the government.

Of course, there is another important factor, and that is the terrain and location. Let’s not talk about the terrain. Compared with the hills in the south, there is a good Po River plain in the north. , Milan, Turin and other cities have been developed.

In addition, in terms of location, the north is obviously close to the three countries of France, Germany, Austria, and the trade with the three countries is more convenient, which is also conducive to the development of industry. This is an absolute geographical location and cannot be changed at all.

Therefore, it is impossible for Italy to want the South to surpass the North, unless the South suddenly discovers massive mineral resources.

In this case, it is important not to allow the North to widen the gap with the South. And to be fair, the Italian government has done a very good job over the years, so some things are really unpredictable.

"Gregory, Naples is a good choice, then let's put the factory that makes diesel engines here."

Therefore, facing the choice of the Minister of Industry, Carlo also recognized it. In the future, relying on this diesel engine factory, it can be extended to a tractor factory, an inland shipyard, and an industrial diesel engine factory. By the way, there is also power generation. Diesel engine power generation is a perfect choice for some places where there is a shortage of water and oil.

"Your Majesty, I'll go back and urge Naples to clear a piece of land for the construction of the factory."

After sending the Minister of Industry away, Carlo stood by the wall, looking at the map of Libya above. Carlo, of course, knows what Libya has other than iron ore. Before considering that the industry has very little demand for oil, it is not cost-effective to develop Libyan oil, so he left it untouched.

But now, this may be the time to develop it.

As long as it is developed, the black industrial blood under Libyan soil will surely contribute to the Italian industry.

However, it is not easy to exploit this gift of nature. Carlo vaguely remembered that the oil in Libya was underground at a depth of 1000-1500 meters, but he could not remember the specific circumstances.

In addition, Carlo can only remember the general direction of the oil now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But it doesn't matter, the technology is not simple enough, just buy it. No one will ever feel bad about money, and currently the best oil extraction technology is the United States. Those Yankees are really lucky, there is everything in the land, and there is no need to purchase resources at all. It is worthy of being the best land on the earth in the industrial age.

The best oil extraction technology in the United States is Mobil, and Rockefeller believes that he will not dislike the taste of lira.

As for the location of Libyan oil fields, Carlo only remembers a rough idea. He drew a third of the position on the map facing Libya by the sea.

"These should be enough, there can be no more."

That's right, since Carlo can only remember a rough idea, he will use the arrogant method, that is, send more exploration teams and use crowd tactics to accomplish his goals.

"Give this to the general manager of Oil Italia."

Carlo gave his request to the general manager of Martino, believing that he would know what to do.

Carlo was right. On the second day, the general manager of Martino sent a telegram to Mobil in the name of the Italian oil company, wanting to buy its deep drilling technology.

What Carlo thought was right. In the face of the telegram from the Italian oil company asking for technology, Mobil was very happy and sold it for money. As long as you give enough money, anything can be said, even the most experienced exploration team has it.

Mobil is so enthusiastic. On the one hand, the Italian oil company has no competition with Mobil. On the other hand, it also wants to form a good relationship.

For Mobil, which is fast monopolizing U.S. oil, expanding into Europe is an inevitable choice, so isn't it reasonable to befriend a local oil company?
