Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

Hearing this, Wentao's mouth twitched slightly.

He was well aware of the hardships faced by the older generation. It was just like an ordinary person starting a business from scratch. Every step was extremely difficult and could be described as stumbling.

Moreover, as a reborn person, Wen Tao has a clear mind. He knows very clearly that China's science and technology has shown a blowout trend in a short period of time!

The achievements in fields such as drone technology, new energy technology and large-scale machinery technology are remarkable.

However, I'm afraid that the older generation doesn't even have the courage to imagine these high-tech products!

It is true that even in today's developed and advanced modern society, building a high-speed rail line is not an easy task.

Not only does it require huge investments, but it also faces various complex and difficult engineering challenges, such as building roads through mountains and building bridges across rivers.

In fact, most of the high-speed railways and highways that crisscross the country in later generations were built by taking on heavy debts.

If this situation happened in the era when the old man lived, the cost of building the high-speed rail and the huge debt that came with it would probably scare them to death!

Thinking of this, Wentao asked with confusion, "Grandpa, it was indeed due to economic difficulties that the project could not be carried out smoothly at the beginning. But after our country's economic situation gradually improved, why did the project still not start?"

"Later, as time went on, our great nation's economic development surged forward like a wild horse, achieving remarkable success. However, beneath this façade of prosperity, differences of opinion began to emerge over some major decisions. The construction of a high-speed railway sparked widespread controversy and discussion, delaying this project, which was supposed to benefit the people and drive rapid national development, to this day."

Whenever he thinks of this incident, Mr. Jian is always filled with guilt and regret.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Oh, if I had been able to make a prompt decision and make up my mind to push forward the high-speed rail project, perhaps our Chinese land would have been covered with lightning-fast high-speed rail lines by now. It's a pity..." At this point, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

Wen Tao, standing by, quickly offered words of comfort: "Grandpa, please don't blame yourself like that! You know, the direction of an era's development isn't determined by a single individual; it's the result of the combined influence of many factors. The current situation is also the product of the evolution of the times, and it's by no means your fault alone."

Hearing Wen Tao's caring words, Mr. Jian nodded slightly, but the sadness on his face still did not disappear.

He continued with deep emotion, "I never imagined that nearly twenty years have passed since I retired, and yet our country's high-speed rail construction has seen no substantial progress. Even worse, opinions on high-speed rail construction are increasingly diverse and complex, with opposition voices rising one after another, making the smooth implementation of high-speed rail projects increasingly difficult."

"It's getting harder and harder?" Wen Tao couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and thought to himself.

After a moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something and continued, "It seems that building a high-speed railway is indeed an extremely difficult task, otherwise it would not have been stagnant for so long. Just coordinating the interests of various parties, solving technical problems, and raising huge amounts of funds are enough to give people a headache."

Sun Youcheng actually assigned such an important and difficult task as building a high-speed railway to himself. This is simply using himself as a scapegoat!

But Wentao did not feel afraid at all, because he had many elders supporting him now!

Moreover, relying on his own rebirth experience that is decades ahead of the current one, he firmly believes that even if he encounters some difficult problems, it will definitely not have much impact on the final result.

What's more, he knew clearly whether the high-speed rail project could be successfully implemented - it must be feasible!

Because in the past, high-speed rail has become a shining pearl in the modern transportation system, greatly changing and improving people's travel methods and efficiency.

"Later, the country's transportation capacity became increasingly tight, and high-speed rail was once again put on the agenda. Just when the demonstration was about to be passed, some different voices emerged. They saw the latest maglev trains abroad, and the maglev trains at the time were not expensive, and they were rebuilt on the basis of railways. They handed the demonstration procedures directly to the leaders of the "Nanhai", and received high attention from the leaders, which caused the progress of the high-speed rail to be delayed once again." said Mr. Jian.

Wentao nodded thoughtfully.

He also knew about the maglev train, which was later urgently stopped due to safety issues.

"In fact, there is a group of people who are the 'slow-construction faction'. Some of them have funding or technical problems, but many of them are due to interest issues. This includes people from highways and civil aviation." The old man talked about it.

If the high-speed rail industry is to be vigorously developed, people's travel methods will inevitably change in the future, which will affect the specific interests of highways and civil aviation.

There is only so much rice on the plate, which is enough for two people to eat. Why should three people not be able to eat enough?

Moreover, once the country builds high-speed railways, its support for roads and aviation will definitely be reduced, which will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to these two groups.

After Mr. Jian explained the whole thing, Wentao also understood a lot more.

Originally, he was completely in the dark, but now he knows the whole cause and effect clearly!

Suddenly, he understood what he should do!
