Imagine the world

This is also normal. What kind of troops did the Dongguo military officers command, and what kind of troops did they go back to command?

Li Jingzhi hoped that Dongguo could help Jiliguo, so he set up a non-commissioned officer training school there, mainly to train grassroots non-commissioned officers and improve the construction of the military system.

Li Jingzhi even hoped that Dongguo could send a grassroots military officer training group to help Jiliguo directly practice field troops.

Another measure that goes hand in hand with this is Huanxiang Industry, through housing development, to employ veterans and demobilized soldiers in an organized way, including commanders and fighters at all levels... These are not included in the content of this meeting.

Jili Kingdom will also provide a supply port for the Dongguo Ocean Escort Fleet. It is too sensitive to be called a military base, so let's call it a supply base.

According to Hua Zhenxing's instruction, Li Jingzhi drew out an island on the northern coastline of Jili Kingdom, which was the supply base for Dongguo.

Ports, especially large natural ports, are greatly restricted by natural conditions.Although the coastline of the Jili Kingdom is long, there are not many such places, and this island is just right.

It covers an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers and is more than ten kilometers away from the land. It is located in Huanxiang Tebang in the north of Jili State, which happens to be the middle part of the Huanxiang Tebang coastline.

There are no artificial facilities there now, and it is still an undeveloped no-man's land, and only pirates have appeared in history.

Feng Zibin nodded, named the island Shuangyong Island, and gave Dongguo a 50-year lease with free rent.However, the facilities on the island had to be built by Dongguo himself, and he had to be responsible for helping to train the Jiliguo navy in the future.

However, Dongguo also needs basic facilities for construction. At least the water and electricity supply must be guaranteed, right?This involves other cooperation projects, and the cooperation between the two countries is a complete system.

Shuangyong Island happens to be located at the mouth of the planned Zhenhang River, which does not yet exist.But with the experience of building the Beiluo River Basin, the construction of the Zhenhang River Basin runs through the construction plan of Huanxiang Tebang in the next few decades.

The first step is to build the Zhenhang River Hydropower Station upstream, which is twice the size of the Luofugen Hydropower Station.

In the entire Zhenhang River Basin, one hydropower station is not enough, and a complete set of water conservancy system is needed in the upper mountainous area and the middle and lower reaches of the wetland. In the long-term plan, the large and small gradient hydropower stations in each tributary reach double digits.

At the estuary of the Zhenxing River, a city will be built in the future. It is one of the six main cities planned by Huanxiang Tebang, tentatively named Changhe City.

In addition to the six main cities, Huanxiang Tebang has also planned [-] towns equivalent to the county seat, and only three towns have been built so far, which are the three towns in the agricultural reclamation area.

Even if the Zhenxing River hydropower station is built first and the main channel of the Zhenxing River flows continuously all year round, the construction period may be close to ten years.

So what to do in the short term?The port of Gaoqiao Town is also leased to Dongguo free of charge, and the lease period is tentatively set for 20 years.

This port, or a special wharf, was actually built by the Dongguo engineering team. There are ready-made oil depots and various storage depots on the shore. As long as they are slightly rebuilt, they can be used as a temporary supply base, but the scale is limited.

The lease term of 20 years is Huan Xiang Tebang's promise. In fact, how long this temporary base needs to be used depends on how fast the construction of Shuangyong Island in Dongguo is progressing.

Jili Kingdom is located on the east coast of the Black Desolation Continent, its outer sea is close to the busiest shipping line in the world, and further north is the canal connecting the Basin Sea.

The Dongguo Ocean Escort Fleet cruises in this area in shifts all year round, so it is in great need of such a supply base.

This is not only a military cooperation project, but also a comprehensive project related to water conservancy, electric power, and urban construction.In addition, the army of Jili Kingdom will also be uniformly equipped with standard weapons produced by Dongguo.

The high quality and low price of Dongguo weapons is only one factor. The outsourcing of military command and equipment systems is, in a sense, equivalent to paying a kind of protection fee.

Especially the purchase of modern high-tech weapon systems, doing so is equivalent to not defending the country that produces the weapons and equipment.

Military equipment is too expensive, especially modern advanced weapons, which are simply gold-swallowing beasts that cannot be fed enough. With the economic capacity of Jili Kingdom, it is necessary to take it slowly and maintain a stable long-term development idea.

Among other things, Jili Kingdom's current naval power is about zero, and its air force only has two general-purpose helicopters for both military and civilian purposes, plus a batch of drones.

Even with Huazhenxing's financial resources, Dongguo Pingjing's tens of billions of communities can be bought at will, but it is still difficult to equip a modern army.Fortunately, the military forces around Jili Kingdom do not pose any threat at present.

Some of the projects discussed by the two countries can be started tomorrow after signing today. Most of them are long-term intentions in the future, which can be adjusted at any time according to the cooperation situation, and involve huge budgets.

The budget that Huazhenxing can use here will range from hundreds of billions to trillions of Dongguo currency every year in the next seven or eight years, depending on how well Yue Gaole, Bai Shaoliu, and You Fang can do it.

With the support of Huanxiang Industry represented by "Feng Zibin", Jiliguo is not blindly asking for assistance, at least for the projects that have been negotiated, the scale of direct capital investment is also very large.

Therefore, the talks went relatively smoothly, basically in line with prior expectations.

What Linghua Zhenxing did not expect was that a small project that seemed inconspicuous but had a great potential impact encountered obstacles.

Shen Sishu was in charge of negotiating in the field of educational cooperation, which was relatively difficult, especially the cooperation intention between the Ministry of Education of Jiliguo and the Wucheng Branch of Fei University of Technology, which was actually rejected!

Chapter 508 The era of honeycomb coal

"The moon is still bright in my hometown! It hasn't been a few days since I came out, but I actually started thinking about Feisuo Port."

In the courtyard of the Jiliguo embassy, ​​several people sat around a table.Electric grids are pulled on the surrounding high walls. The trees in the courtyard are quite old, and the environment is very quiet and secluded. Through the gaps in the treetops, one can see a crescent moon in the sky.

After a day's talks, Xia Er, Hua Zhenxing, Wang Fengshou, Li Jingzhi, and Shen Sishu got together in the middle of the night to drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue.Xia Yading and others led a team to catch up on materials overnight.

The table in front of them can be regarded as a cultural relic. It has held banquets in Wuling Mountain, shown up in Baihua Mountain, and entertained the heroes of the world and even gods from all walks of life.

When Charles was talking, he was shaking a goblet, and the wine in the glass was swirling evenly against the glass wall, but what he was shaking was not red wine, but amber-colored Dongguo rice wine.Because Ke Fuzi likes to drink this, Charles also likes to play.

More than one person reminded him that it was wrong to drink like this, but Charles rolled his eyes strangely and asked, "Did you make the rules?"

Therefore, holding a goblet to turn the rice wine has become the characteristic of Mr. Xia. At this time, he was looking at the sky and uttered a slightly literary Dongguo dialect.Shen Sishu reminded: "Port Fiso has been renamed Shire City!"

Charles: "That's right, isn't that even more of a hometown?"

Wang Fengshou complained: "Don't be hypocritical, it's not that I won't let you go out for a stroll, it's a security requirement! With your current status, it's inappropriate to have to go out to eat skewers in the middle of the night!"

Hua Zhenxing also smiled: "Just shake a glass of wine first."

Shire: "I didn't mean anything else, I just read a poem. In my memory, the moon in Shire City is much brighter than here, and it's even bigger!"

Wang Fengshou looked up at the moon: "Actually, the air in Pingjing is much better now, especially these two days. I remember when I was in elementary school, there were often sandstorms. When I entered university, the sandstorms disappeared, but there were often smog... "

Li Jing interjected: "Objectively speaking, the air quality in Mowang City is still not as good as that in Pingjing, especially in the dry season. When it comes to the rainy season, it will not be easy to see the moon."

Is the air quality in Mowang City, the capital of Jili Kingdom, not as good as that of Pingjing?This is true, especially when it comes to cooking.Because many residents of Mowang City are still using biofuels. The so-called biofuels are firewood.

There is always firewood to burn. In fact, the conditions are much better than before.

Although it is impossible for Mowang City to compare with Pingjing City in scale, it still has a population of more than 100 million in a mess. It is impossible for many residents in the neighborhood to go to the wild to find firewood. They even use all kinds of garbage as firewood on weekdays.

Later, the supply and marketing cooperatives spread throughout the country, and with the development of large-scale agriculture and planting, all blocks in Mowang City also had a guarantee of firewood supply.With the development of light industry in the past two years, some people have already used briquettes.

Talking about the moon and air quality, and the issue of living fuel for residents, Charles took a sip of wine and said, "The technology introduction project I mentioned by myself surprised them! The coal furnace factory, Dongguo seems to have already there is none left."

Speaking of which, it's all stories.When Hua Zhenxing was a child, he thought that the stove in his kitchen was the most high-end, and this is not wrong. It is a nine-mouth artifact, and most of the indigenous people in the neighborhood use earthen stoves for cooking.

The earthen stoves in the Jili Kingdom are not the big stoves that people in the East are familiar with, but the earthy ones, which can be called marching stoves to put it nicely.

It is to build a circle with a gap with soil, and put a pot on it.Sometimes it doesn't even count as a pot, it may be a tin bucket, a large plate, a large iron sheet or a flat stone.

It was only after Hua Zhenxing went to the living quarters of Dongguo's construction aid workers that he saw the liquefied gas tank and the matching stove for the first time.

In Jili State, the most high-end stove fuel is canned liquefied petroleum gas, which is used by very few people, because the supply is limited, and it is very troublesome and extremely expensive to replace a can of gas.

Even the Dongguo Aid Construction Project Department later set up a big stove in the dining hall of the living area, and started to burn firewood and grass to fry a big pot of vegetables, because it is really inconvenient to use liquefied gas.

Social change is not just a few lines in history books, but involves all aspects of daily life, and some details may be unimaginable.

The New Alliance launched patriotic sanitation campaigns in various neighborhoods, built garbage stations, sewers, and public toilets, prohibited defecation and messing around in the toilets, and also promoted new brick-earth stoves, and tried to promote coal stoves where conditions permit.

The new brick-earth stove promoted by the new alliance has a structure similar to the traditional large stove in the East. It has a chimney that does not choke people, and the efficiency of firewood utilization is also higher, and the fire hazard is smaller.

As for the coal stove, it has skipped the stage of burning briquettes and directly entered the era of honeycomb coal.Wago Mining has a coal mine and a power plant at the pithead. Two small generators supply electricity to the entire mining area.

Later, the mining group expanded its mining scale and began to produce honeycomb coal.In fact, there is no shortage of coal mines in Jili Kingdom, and there are mining plans for many years in the future, but it still needs the assistance and cooperation of Dongguo.

Don’t look at the fact that today’s Dongguo residents basically don’t use briquettes, but the age of briquettes is not too long ago. Before everyone lived in a unit building, there were still many people using briquettes in the 90s and [-]s.

Li Jingzhi and others used honeycomb coal at home when they were young. According to their memories, after trial production and restoration of its technology, they built a batch of coal stove samples, trained workers, and collected materials to build a small coal stove factory.

Burning briquettes is also very particular, at least for the local aborigines, it is difficult, and they have to be taught by hand. The most technical thing is to seal the furnace. If the seal is not good, the fire will be extinguished.

This thing can't be used in the living room yet, there must be a relatively open space, but it can be regarded as an improvement anyway.

When Shire came this time, he asked for aid in the construction of several coal furnace factories, as well as the supporting supply chain, which shocked the representatives of the Dongguo business negotiation team.

Dongguo officials have experienced many foreign trade business negotiations of this type, and this is the first time they have heard such an unpretentious request.

Fortunately, the technical content of the coal stove is very low. Many workers in the coal stove factory are still there today, and they have not even reached the retirement age, but they can provide related construction assistance projects.

Jili Kingdom has been able to produce coal stoves, but it still uses semi-manual methods. The raw materials are insufficient and the production capacity is very limited. This matter is related to the livelihood of the people of the whole country, so it is necessary to place an order to import it from Dongguo.

Now Dongguo technicians can optimize the design of honeycomb coal stoves, use better heat insulation materials to join the fire structure, and make them more environmentally friendly and more efficient.

In Dongguo in the 80s of the last century, township-level enterprises could actually produce this kind of thing without the need for large factories.

But to make it into a large-scale industrial product is not something that can be handled by the current Jiliguo. Coal stoves and tongs need to use some iron sheets, cast iron, steel bars and other materials, and at least a steel factory is needed upstream, right?

Jili state-owned iron ore, the ore quality is still very high, can be exported to the East, but there must be a supporting steel factory in the local area.

The briquette stove is just an important sub-item that Shire is thinking about. At this stage, the core industries that Jili Kingdom really wants to introduce are mainly steel, chemical fertilizers, and agricultural machinery.

This can also be regarded as the transfer of excess capacity in Dongguo, and it depends on how much the country can eat and digest.

The cooperation between Jiliguo and Dongguo mainly focuses on the introduction of production capacity, and it is not completely open. It is more cautious in some areas, such as the retail industry, which is not fully open.

This is not to say that goods from Dongguo should not be imported, but that which commodities need to be imported is determined by the retail enterprises in Jiliguo that have the right to import foreign trade. Among them, the largest is the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the smallest should be Old Man Yang's Grocery Store.

This is not a policy aimed at Dongguo, but a national policy of Jiliguo itself, which is the same for all countries.

The reason for not opening up the commodity retail industry for the time being is also very simple. The weak light industry in Jili Kingdom has just recovered, and its competitiveness is still quite limited.

For example, the simplest honeycomb coal stove, if the finished product is imported directly, with the complete industrial chain of Dongguo, even if there is no such product, it can be produced quickly, which can wipe out all the existing coal stove factories in Jiliguo .

Another area that requires cooperation but cannot be fully opened is the education system.

Some social educational institutions have the characteristics of an industry, but the education system itself is not suitable and cannot be developed as an industry.

Education is the sovereignty of the state, and only on the premise of national sovereignty can education become a civil right.

If education is treated as an open industry, the consequences will be serious, and it may even lead to the deconstruction and alienation of national consciousness and cultural traditions.

Is there any country in the world that regards sovereignty as a business?Of course there are, for example, some small countries specialize in selling passports. In fact, they have turned the country’s diplomatic sovereignty into a passport industry. Jili Kingdom obviously does not want to become such a country anymore.

The national consciousness of Jili Kingdom has just been kneaded through the new social transformation. It was originally a piece of loose sand patched together by local separatist forces and tribal cultural relics. Many indigenous residents do not even know that they are from Jili Kingdom.

As for cultural tradition, it is actually two different concepts from traditional culture.There is no traditional culture in Jili Kingdom. If there is, it is gangster culture and tribal witch culture that cannot be put on the table.

The cultural tradition here is in the process of being re-established, and the education system is at its core, so it must be self-contained.But on the other hand, it is the most vulnerable to penetration and influence.

Education determines for whom to train talents and what kind of talents to train.The exchange and reference of science and culture are indispensable, but many so-called academic issues in the field of humanities are actually the distinction between economic and political positions.

Sometimes the defense line established by the national security department may be infiltrated by the education system overnight.

Although Hua Zhenxing had some experience of this in Chunhua Jianyuan, it was not obvious, but Manman often had doubts in Pingjing University—who and what kind of talents are being cultivated here?

In the first five-year plan of Jiliguo, three universities and seven vocational technical colleges will be established in the field of higher education. At the same time, the civic education system for primary and secondary schools will be fully rolled out in accordance with the five-year school system of primary school and five-year middle school. .

The Fangguan Development Group has set up an education research department, and Huazhenxing has also set its sights on Niu Yiping, intending to poach him to become the president of the university. However, Jiliguo has independent control over the content and form of education.

With Ke Fuzi in charge of the general direction and Shen Sishu in charge, the construction mainly relies on self-raised funds. This is also the area where Huazhen Bank, including the government of Jiliguo, is most willing to invest in capital.

Different from the negotiations in other fields, in the field of education, the person in charge of Dongguo and his team showed extraordinary enthusiasm, so enthusiastic that even Shen Sishu was surprised.

The person in charge of the negotiations in the field of education cooperation in Dongguo is Zhang Buying, who is also an important leader of Dongguo's education department.

The Vice Minister Zhang, the leader of the Educational Cooperation Negotiation Team, enthusiastically expressed his willingness to fight for the construction of three universities for Guliguo, not only in the construction of school buildings, but also in the construction of disciplines.

Leader Zhang did not mention the seven vocational and technical colleges, probably because he is not familiar with the situation.However, for civic education in elementary and middle schools, Jiliguo could not completely rely on Dongguo's aid, but Leader Zhang still showed great enthusiasm.

He suggested that an experimental primary school and an experimental middle school could be set up in the seven key cities of Jili State. These [-] schools were built with Dongguo's aid, and Dongguo provided a full set of teaching materials and educational guidance.

This complete set of textbooks can also be promoted to all primary and secondary schools in Jili Kingdom. It is provided by Dongguo and can be regarded as part of the educational aid project.

For Zhang Buying's enthusiasm, Shen Sishu can also understand.

Because education cooperation is a cultural export project, Dongguo does not expect it to make money directly. From the perspective of leader Zhang, of course, he hopes that the larger the scale of assistance and the more fields the better.

The money spent is from the state, but it means that the person who handles it can control more resources. Who doesn't like to be responsible for the project of distributing money?But this is precisely what Jiliguo does not need.

Under Ke Fuzi's guidance, it was no problem for Shen Sishu to organize a team to compile textbooks. The textbooks for elementary school to middle school, and Jiliguo's first to tenth grades, including extracurricular supplementary reading materials, had already been compiled and compiled.

What the Jili State education system really needs are paper mills and printing factories, as well as sufficient quantity and quality of school buildings and teachers.

Shen Sishu had just broken through the five realms of cultivation before coming to Dongguo this time. In the shortest time, he quickly reviewed the complete set of textbooks and supplementary materials provided by Team Leader Zhang opposite, and then wrote an internal report.

After reading the report, everyone frowned secretly. The report mainly pointed out five problems.

The first point is the issue of Chinese education.In basic education, language education is very important, more important than most people think, and it is true in every country.

What it learns is not only language and characters, but more importantly, the cultivation of social ethics and cultural traditions, which is the most important process of cultivating socialized personality.

There are many issues related to the outlook on life. For children, boring preaching is often difficult to be effective. However, life-oriented story works and ideological resonance guided in a subtle way are the most important ways to cultivate.

The full set of textbooks pushed by Leader Zhang, let’s call them Zhang’s textbooks, has many problems.

Take elementary school textbooks as an example. Although they are all short stories written in Mandarin Chinese, the characters and themes of many stories are very weird, and even many illustrations are grotesque or even obscene.

The Dongguo culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has too many excellent story themes that can be used for children's education.

However, in this set of textbooks, the proportion of characters like Tom and Mary is too high, and they are usually positive moral images, while Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are often the objects of education for making mistakes, full of tendentious hints .

There are a large number of foreign translations in the textbooks, mixed with many fabricated stories of foreign celebrities, such as cutting down cherry trees in a hurry, and Ai Shengsheng making shadowless lamps, in order to promote some of their excellent qualities.

But to educate and publicize these excellent qualities, Dongguo has had better allusions since ancient times.Even from the perspective of basic language education, such texts should not be used at this stage.
