Chapter 1936

The income level of new immigrants who work part-time in these places is generally very low, and they are basically living hand to mouth. If you can't work quickly to pick up a few more jobs at the end of the day, you will have to live a precarious life.

Don't even think about saving any savings. But of course Xue Zheng and others don't care about how much income they can bring from transporting these three trucks of coke. The remuneration they can get from this operation is much higher than pulling a truck. As for the foreman's time limit

The warning was completely forgotten by them. They needed these trucks of coke as props to hide their identity during the following operations, and had no intention of completing the delivery task assigned by the foreman.

However, even if they succeeded in getting the opportunity to sneak into the industrial zone, Xue Zheng and others still had to face the next problem - they did not know the specific destination of the North Koreans' trip, and at the same time they had no knowledge of this area.

The situation is completely unfamiliar and I can only take it one step at a time. The risks that need to be dealt with can be imagined.

But Xue Zheng and his group are not idlers. Last night they had already put together a rough plan of action, especially regarding how to find the target person in this unfamiliar territory. They had also thought of a solution.

In fact, this method is not surprising. It is to find areas blocked by temporary martial law. Although areas like the smelting workshop are usually under military control, they only set up card checks on the main channels in and out. The purpose is also to

To prevent someone from smuggling supplies out. If the Crown Prince of Joseon comes here to visit and inspect, according to the previous security measures in Yinggehai, there will definitely be armed personnel on duty in the nearby area and even cut off traffic. This is undoubtedly equivalent to a conspicuous sign.

.

As for how to take action after finding the target, Xue Zheng now only has a general action framework, which is to continue to act as a porter, get as close to the target as possible and then look for an opportunity to strike. There is no specific plan for this. When the time comes,

Most of the time, they can only fight on their own and wait for opportunities. But in this case, the chance of success is much better than attacking the convoy. It can be said that this is the best plan that Xue Zheng can think of at the moment.

They pushed the three carts of coke to the checkpoint entering the smelting industrial zone, showed the delivery number plate issued by the foreman of the coke factory, and quickly passed the checkpoint smoothly. The personnel guarding the card did not even check their identities, because every day they were like

There are too many workers pushing coke to deliver goods to various blast furnaces. If every porter has to check his identity, and every truck has to be repeatedly inspected before being released, then I am afraid that some blast furnace production will also be affected by this.

influence, and this responsibility is beyond their reach.

Therefore, in actual operation, the inspection of outsiders at these checkpoints is actually very loose, far from being as strict as Xue Zheng thought earlier. After passing this checkpoint, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were leaving.

Success is getting closer, and the cart being pushed by my hands doesn't seem to be that heavy anymore.

But when they actually entered this area, they found that it was not that easy to find the target. The area of ​​​​this industrial area was much larger than they imagined. The densely packed chimneys standing on this land were like woods.

Generally, there is a smelting workshop under each chimney. Xue Zheng roughly counted that there were nearly a hundred, and he was a little dumbfounded at the moment.

And a workshop is not just a matter of putting a stove under the chimney. In addition to the furnace and corresponding operating space, it is also necessary to leave a large enough place to stack materials, and it must be convenient for heavy-loaded trucks to enter and exit. Therefore, a workshop

The area of ​​the smelting workshops is at least one acre. The area where these smelting workshops are located alone is at least seven or eight square kilometers. Adding in supporting industries such as metal processing plants, the entire Changhua Industrial Zone actually covers an area of

More than ten square kilometers.

The smelting area is divided into several relatively concentrated small areas according to different functional divisions, that is, A, B, C, D, etc. marked on the freight license plate. Each area has several relatively concentrated workshops.

In order to facilitate production management and logistics transportation. In fact, this partitioning method is equivalent to the concept of a production workshop. Each area is a complete production unit.

Although Xue Zheng had already thought of a way to find the target, they did not dare to leave these carts filled with coke and wander around this place empty-handed. It would still be too conspicuous.

The streets in the industrial area are not too wide, and can only accommodate two heavy-duty freight trucks parallel to each other. If there are cars parked on the roadside, it will easily cause road congestion. To load and unload goods, you must first enter the industrial area.

There is a goods yard in the workshop, so they cannot stop at will after entering this area and can only continue to push the cart forward.

Now the temporary job used to cover up the identity has really turned into a chore. This heavy-duty freight pallet was originally designed to be pulled by animal power, so this car of coke weighs at least two to three thousand kilograms, plus the pallet itself

The weight of the truck is actually a bit heavy. There are five people responsible for one vehicle, with three people pulling in front and two pushing behind. The short distance of one or two miles is not too strenuous, but the longer transportation distance is more painful.

You can see such carts everywhere in the industrial zone, but some are mule-drawn carts, which only need one driver. They don't dare to stop on the roadside to slowly discuss countermeasures, so they can only force it.

Scalp pulled the car forward.

For a moment, Xue Zheng felt that he was really asking for trouble. He never expected that after sneaking into this area, he would have to do such heavy physical work. His original idea was to park the car somewhere on the roadside, and then everyone would approach.

Start searching, and if you don’t have any clues, continue to the next place. This way, you have time to rest and at least you won’t be too tired. But I didn’t expect that it would be difficult to stop once you enter this place. At the moment, I can only bite the bullet and pull the car to continue moving forward.

.All they can do now is pray and strive to discover the target's movements as soon as possible.

In fact, at this time, Xue Zhengdu was still not sure whether the North Koreans had come here. Although he had left manpower to monitor the movements of Daling Manor, when he set off from the coke factory, he had not yet received the call from Daling.

news, so he knew nothing about the latest trends of the North Koreans. He just judged purely out of intuition that the North Korean Crown Prince should come to visit Changhua Industrial Zone today. After all, it is said that this person is used to scheduling an extremely full schedule, and

Apart from Shilu Iron Mine, there is only Changhua Industrial Zone left to visit.

This means that they may bump into North Koreans, or they may push a cart here for a whole day and get nothing. Thinking of the latter possibility, everyone couldn't help but say a few curse words in their hearts.

At this time, the uninformed Li Fu was visiting the steelmaking production process in a workshop two miles away from Xue Zheng and others. He was very interested in Haihan's advanced smelting technology, but he suffered from limited theoretical knowledge.

, even if you watch the production process with your own eyes, and there is an expert like Qiao Zhiya beside you who keeps explaining, it is still difficult to fully understand Haihan's production technology.

Next to him, Li Xi's understanding of this field was about the same as his, and he was helpless in this regard. He could only listen to Qiao Zhiya's explanations as if they were reading from heaven.

Qiao Zhiya didn't mean to stumbling upon the North Koreans. It's just that they didn't understand physics or chemistry, so it was really difficult to explain the principle of smelting steel. Qiao Zhiya thought that he could explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, but

It is still too difficult for a layman Li Bo.

Zhang Qianzhi silently observed the reactions of the North Koreans, thinking that although this prince was eager to learn and make progress, his foundation was too poor after all. Even if he could see industrialized production sites like Haihan, it would still be difficult for him to understand the advanced production technology mastered by Haihan.

If he really wants to learn these technologies, he should study abroad in Sanya for a few years first, and then visit a place like Changhua Industrial Zone. The harvest will definitely be very different.

Of course, judging from the information Zhang Qianzhi has access to, North Korea may not have the patience to allow Li Bo to study in Haihan for many years. The ideal length of time is estimated to be within two years. And it takes two years to complete

The knowledge of some natural subjects is obviously not enough, so he believes that it will be difficult for Li Bo to move Changhua's production technology back to China, even for those very superficial parts, if there are no technical personnel sent by Haihan to provide guidance.

It must be difficult for North Korea to apply it to its own smelting industry.

Having said that, the real purpose of Fort Victory arranging for Li Bo to visit various places in Haihan was of course not to let him condescend to learn a few production techniques and return to China to work as a technician in the future, but to make Li Bo fully understand Haihan.

The fundamental reason for the prosperity of Han Dynasty, and induced him to gradually lean towards Haihan in his position. In this way, after he returns from studying abroad, he can promote more decisions in North Korea that are beneficial to Haihan. When he inherits the throne in the future, what will happen to this country?

The loyalty to Haihan is even more guaranteed.

Because he had received advice from He Xi before setting off, Zhang Qianzhi knew this better. The chief officials in various places should have received the notice from Fort Victory and would make some targeted arrangements for it. The same is true for Qiao Zhiya.

After introducing the production technology, he took the initiative to turn the topic to the management system and industrial prospects, and vigorously boasted about the industrialization promoted by Haihan.

"It doesn't matter if the prince doesn't understand the details of these technologies right now. In the future, we will gradually share these advanced technologies with our allies, including your country, and assist our allies in establishing their own industrial systems. As long as your country remains close to our country

Because of the relationship, the smelting industrial zone that the prince sees now will also appear in your country in the future."

Qiao Zhiya ignored everything and gave the pie to Li Bo first. As for when North Korea will be able to build an industrial zone of this scale, that is a story for another day. Haihan has mastered the information needed for the development of primary industry.

It took ten years for all technologies to become the Changhua Industrial Zone today. If North Korea wants to imitate this industrial development model, it will only take more time and investment.

The effect of these words was different in Li Pu's ears. Such a statement by a senior official from Haihan seemed to be regarded as a diplomatic commitment. Of course, Li Pu also noticed that Qiao Zhiya specifically emphasized that "always maintain

The premise of "close relations" means that North Korea must ensure that it stands on the same front as Haehan for a long time.

This is a natural requirement, but in fact it also shows that Haihan does not trust North Korea's position. After all, before Haihan appeared, North Korea also had a wavering performance between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. Although this

This is partly due to the pressure exerted by Hou Jin, but Haihan will certainly not sit back and let a similar situation happen again.

Li Bo's idea is actually very simple. If North Korea can have such steel production capacity, it will mean a huge improvement in military strength. Coupled with the military assistance provided by Shanghai and Han, there will be no need to bow to the Qing Dynasty. As for the Ming Dynasty, he has already

After getting a general understanding of the situation from Li Xi, since the Ming Dynasty remained silent on North Korea's establishment of diplomatic relations with Haihan on its own, there seemed to be no need to be too afraid of it.

Although there are still a large number of loyal supporters of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea who still insist that North Korea should continue to regard the Ming Dynasty as its suzerainty, Li Bo does not think so. Since the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to provide asylum to North Korea, what is the point of treating it as its suzerainty?

It is better to have a good relationship with Haehan. At least the military assistance provided by Haehan was real and in place and successfully rescued North Korea from the crisis.

If Haihan is willing to provide more help to North Korea in the future, such as teaching these advanced smelting technologies so that North Korea can produce more steel, then Li Bo feels that it is necessary to express his attitude on behalf of his country.

"Then on behalf of our country, I would like to thank Mr. Qiao here first! If our country has such a huge industrial zone in the future, I will definitely invite Mr. Qiao to visit our country. Don't refuse Mr. Qiao then!" Li Ming said.

I really hope that one day I can be like Qiao Zhiya and show off my country's construction achievements to foreign dignitaries in a generous manner.

"Then I look forward to this day coming soon!" Qiao Zhiya responded with a smile.

After pushing the heavy cart around the street for half an hour, Xue Zheng and his party finally saw the target they had been longing for - several armed cavalry in gray combat uniforms.

Due to limited objective conditions, cavalry has always been a scarce unit in Haihan. Although there are a small number of cavalry in garrisons in various places, they basically serve as personal guards for local officials, and the local cavalry in Changhua is no exception.

The only reason why these cavalry appear on the streets of industrial areas is naturally because the people they want to protect are nearby.

Xue Zheng and others pushed the cart slowly past the cavalrymen in the opposite direction, and then discovered that there were several box-type carriages for important people parked in the warehouse of the workshop behind them. As expected,

The target Xue Zheng is looking for is right here.
