Travel through the 1945 super power construction secret base

As time went by, the construction work in the eastern region gradually achieved remarkable results.

As it is located in a plain area, excavation work is relatively easy to carry out.

A large number of excavators and transport equipment worked together and the project progressed very quickly.

With sufficient human resources, abundant funds and a large number of mechanical equipment, the river channel has begun to take shape in just half a year.

What is even more gratifying is that the construction of the bridge is also progressing simultaneously.

As the canal has not yet been fully opened, the difficulty of construction has indeed been reduced a lot.

Wang Jixin frequently came to inspect the progress of the construction site, and this canal area under construction attracted a lot of attention.

Among them, Thailand is the most active. Since the construction of the canal began, Thai personnel have frequently visited, whose main purpose is to discuss the use of the canal after its completion.

Currently, Thailand cannot directly access the Gulf of Myanmar because part of its territory is occupied by Wang Ze, and material transportation can only go through the Strait of Malacca.

Once the new city's canal is fully completed, if Thailand can make use of it and transport directly from Bangkok, it will greatly promote the country's economic development.

The main purpose of the people sent by the Thai government was to discuss the issue of freight.

After all, the Strait of Malacca is currently free to pass through, but if the New Town Canal starts charging high fees, Thailand will have to make a difficult choice between timeliness and economy.

No matter what they choose, it will be a losing deal for Thailand.

Therefore, they have been trying to negotiate with the Xincheng government to reduce the freight charges or even make it free for them.

However, the Xincheng government has not considered this issue.

According to Wang Ze's plan, the main function of this canal is to meet the transportation needs of the new city itself and strengthen the connection between the two sides.

He believes that even if the New Town Canal is built, the distance it will save for ships traveling to East Asia will only be about 300 nautical miles, so most ships will still choose to pass through the Strait of Malacca.

The Xincheng government is well aware of this. They expect that the charging standards for the Xincheng Canal will not be too low in the future, so as to avoid it being too cheap and attracting customers to the Xincheng Canal.

For other countries, choosing the Strait of Malacca may not be a big deal, but for Thailand, the situation is completely different.

If Thailand could choose to take the New Town Canal, the distance saved would be considerable, at least reducing the transportation distance by 1500 nautical miles.

Therefore, other countries can choose Malacca, but Thailand must rely on this canal.

Even though New Town has not clearly announced the canal toll rates, Thai representatives still frequently visit various departments of the New Town government to try to learn more.

Wang Jixin was so annoyed that he had to go to the scene again to inspect it in person.

He looked at the blueprint in his hand and asked, "Looking at the progress, the excavation is almost finished, when will it be officially completed?"

The engineering technician immediately replied confidently: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. It is expected to be completed this month. However, we still need to build river embankments on both sides. These works will be a little more complicated, but we will definitely be able to complete the entire project including the bridge within this year."

This engineering technician is a professional who came from an underground base. He has a strong ability to control the entire project and is familiar with every step. Therefore, he appears to be at ease when answering questions and can report all kinds of relevant data at will.

Wang Jixin went to see the bridge under construction again, and saw that the bridge deck stood tall, like a giant dragon lying across the river.

In order to avoid the passage of ships, the supporting pillars on both sides that are currently being built are built unusually tall, giving people a majestic and spectacular feeling.

"Is there a blueprint of this bridge?" Wang Jixin asked curiously.

The engineer quickly turned around and took a drawing from the staff behind him, handed it to Wang Jixin respectfully and explained: "Prime Minister, this is the rendering of the bridge."

Wang Jixin couldn't wait to open the blueprint, and a shocking picture immediately appeared before his eyes: a majestic bridge spanning the canal. The bridge deck was 160 meters high, and the four lanes in both directions were spacious and flat.

After learning about the condition of the bridge in detail, Wang Jixin returned to Xincheng with great anticipation and found Wang Ze.

"When are you going to build the canal? I just went to see the canal project and they are almost done." Wang Jixin said to Wang Ze with a smile.

"So fast?" Wang Ze asked with a surprised expression on his face, somewhat incredulous.

Although he had always known that the canal project was proceeding at a rapid pace, he had not expected that it would be completed in just half a year?

"The river channel has been almost excavated, and the next step is to start repairing the river embankment. However, this is also thanks to the new district you created! Our new district has such abundant stone resources, which can be put to good use. This way, a lot of time can be saved, and the project progress is expected to be much earlier than expected." Wang Jixin explained with a smile after sitting down.

Wang Ze nodded: "Okay, then I'll speed up as well. By the way, you can control the Danasarin area and restrict traffic for two days. Just let me know when the date is confirmed."

He thought to himself that the wilderness in the Tanassarin area was now deserted and even the small villages on the Tanassarin road had been cleared out since they came here.

But despite this, there are still many vehicles traveling on this road.

Wang Ze’s use of his superpowers to build the canal must not be discovered by outsiders, so management must be strengthened.

After agreeing on a time with their eldest brother, the two brothers started talking about the issue of Chinese migration.

Wang Jixin sighed worriedly, "We talked to the mainland side yesterday. We plan to use food in exchange for them not blocking immigration, but we haven't reached a consensus on the specific method yet."

The situation in the mainland is not optimistic now. Although Xincheng sells a large amount of rice to the mainland, this rice is re-exported to Western countries by the mainland in exchange for wheat imports.

This trading model allows the mainland to exchange 1.5 portions of wheat for every portion of rice it exports, which is undoubtedly a good deal for the mainland, which is suffering from food shortages.

After all, the current priority is to ensure that people have enough to eat, rather than worrying about what to eat.

Wang Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Let's discuss this further. We can accept residents from some remote areas, but they must be Chinese, not ethnic minorities."

This is not because Wang Ze is prejudiced against ethnic minorities. In fact, as a person from later generations, he knows very well that ethnic minorities are also an indispensable part of the Chinese nation.

However, from the perspective of the new city, the Chinese population is insufficient, and accepting too many ethnic minorities may cause a series of problems.

Therefore, at the current stage, it is more appropriate to give priority to accepting Chinese people.
