Chapter 590 Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge
Nanjing,
The wide surface of the Yangtze River is sparkling and the water is flowing slowly.
Some soldiers stood on the stable barge, while others were on the shore, waiting for battle. The soldiers on the barge wore waterproof suits, stepped on the slightly shaking deck, held the measuring instruments tightly in their hands, and their eyes were focused and determined. They carefully calibrated the instruments, not missing any subtle angles and scales.
The soldiers on the shore worked closely together, pulling the long measuring line and moving step by step along the river bank. Their faces were filled with enthusiasm for work, and they didn't care at all that sweat was running down their cheeks and soaking their collars. The measuring line was stretched straight in their hands, as if it was a bond of hope connecting the two sides.
In the distance, several experienced construction engineers were holding blueprints and communicating with each other from time to time, their eyes switching back and forth between the river and the blueprints, their expressions serious and earnest. Based on the data fed back by the workers, they carefully marked on the blueprints and planned a precise route for the construction of the bridge.
On the third day after the liberation of Nanjing,
Yin Xinjun submitted a proposal telegram to the headquarters, suggesting that the 1st Pontoon Bridge Regiment of the Engineering Corps stay in Nanjing and immediately start the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. He also promised the headquarters that the Mulan Special Zone could provide all the equipment and steel needed for this construction!
This telegram was sent directly to Peking.
The next day, they officially replied, agreed to the request, and instructed the Nanjing Municipal Government to set up a bridge construction command center that day!
Nanjing must build a dual-use road-rail bridge over the Yangtze River. The Jinpu Railway will have to be changed to a ferry when it reaches the Yangtze River. After passing the ferry, the carriages will have to be reassembled, which will take at least six or seven hours. The Yangtze River has become a serious bottleneck for north-south transportation!
The construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge has brought immeasurable social and economic benefits!
Although resources are very tight now, fortunately after this battle with the British warships, Yin Xinjun once again obtained a mine, and he chose the iron mine without hesitation!
This iron mine was specially built to serve the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Yin Xinjun asked the First Pontoon Bridge Regiment to build a steel structure iron bridge.
Many officers and soldiers of the Zhoushan 1st Regiment came from the Mulan Special Zone Construction Company. They have experience in building many bridges. The two bridges across the Songhua River were built by them!
After the Nanjing Bridge is completed and enough experience has been accumulated, we can continue to build the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Chongqing and other places along the Yangtze River!
Xiaguan Wharf,
Yin Xinjun and Ding Shan were very happy when they looked at the three British ships that were towed back. The British clamored for war, and after the Chinese side returned the prisoners of war, they clamored for compensation. Finally, the two sides went to war and started a verbal battle!
I can return the person to you and I will accept the warship. Who asked you to come here uninvited?
To be honest, Yin Xinjun didn't care about going to war at all. In a little over a year anyway, they would go to war with the coalition of 17 nations. Fighting now could provide them with some training, and the probability of winning was almost 100%!
Because the British Army is a coward. They couldn’t even beat the Japanese, so how could they fight the People’s Liberation Army?
As for the navy? As long as the British aircraft carrier dares to come, Yin Xinjun is sure to keep all of them. After all, the more than 500 aircraft in his hands are not vegetarian!
After more than ten days of intensive drawing, he finally completed the drawings of the heavy cruiser London, the Companion, and the Amethyst frigate!
He even dived to the bottom of the river and put the Black Swan into space!
The entire process can only be done secretly at night, and the entire scene is under martial law, especially at night, with lights out!
After Ding Shan led his troops across the river, he personally led a battalion to take over the security of the entire dock on the grounds of keeping the military operation confidential, which provided convenient conditions!
Yin Xinjun said,
"My job is done. Security here can be handed over!"
"Yes! Commander!"
Although there are several blueprints, the construction of the navy is more difficult than the air force, and it consumes more resources! A London heavy cruiser is equivalent to the firepower of two or three infantry divisions!
However, China has a large sea area and a long coastline, plus abundant resources in the South China Sea, so a strong navy is still a must!
But we need to take it step by step.
First, we need to choose a port to build a shipyard.
This port must also be a seaport with a direct railway line!
One "London" is far from enough. The aircraft carrier plays a decisive role in the modern navy. This is not the era of battleships. No matter how big the muzzle of the gun is, it will not be enough. However, all the talents and resources now have to serve the Air Force. No matter how you calculate it, large-scale shipbuilding will probably be at least two years away.
Mulan Special Zone,
Bin County,
Xinwen Machinery Factory,
In the production workshop,
The workers, wearing heavy protective clothing and protective masks, concentrated on operating the welding guns. Their hands were as steady as a rock, accurately controlling the direction of the welding guns, allowing the dazzling arcs to jump and flash between the metal parts. The bright arcs, like meteors in the night sky, were short-lived but dazzling, instantly fusing the two pieces of cold metal together and emitting a blazing light.
The processed equipment parts are neatly placed on the workbench, some are as huge as a hill, and some are as delicate as spare parts. The workers are around these parts, sometimes squatting, sometimes standing up, constantly adjusting the angle and position of welding. Their eyes are focused and determined, not letting go of any tiny flaws, ensuring that every weld is firm and reliable.
Zhang Xinwen won three packages again in the bidding in April, including the 4th package of engineering machinery equipment, the drum of asphalt concrete mixing station, the 17th package of asphalt concrete mixing station vibrating screen, and the 19th package of asphalt concrete mixing station raw material storage silo!
The contract value reached 1100 million yuan!
The asphalt concrete mixing station was a replica of the Italian Marini product by the Bin County General Machinery Factory, and they obtained a captured sample in Peiping.
Asphalt pavement is much more comfortable than concrete pavement and is more suitable for the construction of municipal roads. Anda Petrochemical just happens to have a surplus of asphalt products!
Due to Zhang Xinwen's fast delivery and high-quality products, his company has received two credit points, currently 6 points, which gives him a great advantage in bidding. According to regulations, each point can be converted into 1% of the bid!
After completing the previous project, Zhang Xinwen used all the profits to expand production. His factory area has reached 3000 square meters, the number of employees has reached more than 260, and he owns 22 machine tools of various types!
Now he is full of energy! Like a clock that is fully wound up, he is busy every day.
His interest is not actually for money. He is just purely interested in mechanical equipment. He also has a little bit of professionalism and vanity. He feels a sense of accomplishment because he can change the face of the motherland and get praise from others!
