Things in the Far East have come to an end for the time being, but the tension in the Far East will not be less. Because the procrastination of Russia's withdrawal has allowed the British Empire to see through the true nature at a glance, so how to make trouble next is what the gentlemen of the British Empire need to consider.
Something happened.
However, to deal with Maozi, Italy can at best play the drums from the side. What is more needed is the British who are eager to stop Maozi from all over the world, and the bookmakers who are anxious about Russia's occupation of the Northeast.
Therefore, Italy's top priority is to develop its own country quickly. Everything else needs to have its own strength. As one of the representatives of a country's strength, steel is the most important evidence. In view of the lack of coal and iron mines in Italy, so
Coal and iron mines from Kosovo and Libya are very important.
Especially when Italy's industry is developing rapidly, the mineral resources of the two places are even more indispensable.
Among them, the Kosovo region, which is Italy's main mineral producing area, needs to contribute to Italy's industrial construction.
With the deepening of industrialization in recent years, Italy's dependence on Kosovo's minerals has increased.
Because the minerals in Kosovo are urgently needed by Italy, and there is no substitute. For example, as for the coal mine with the largest annual mining volume in Kosovo, the annual coal mining in Kosovo has reached more than 11 million tons. Currently, Kosovo has three
The coal mines are operating at full capacity, providing Italy with coal resources.
In addition, Kosovo also has gold, silver, copper, aluminum, zinc, chromium, asphalt, lead-zinc ore, cadmium ore and other minerals. Together, these minerals require Kosovo to provide 13 million tons of minerals to the country every year.
Such a huge amount of materials needs to be transported, and there is no navigable river transportation in Kosovo. Basically, it relies on a railway from Durrës to Pristina, so the transportation pressure is very high. Every 12-20 minutes.
There is a heavy transport train heading to Doula
If you add in the passenger trains, the transport volume of 5-6 times per hour, the carrying capacity of the Dupu Railway has exceeded the limit. In order to ensure the movement of many trains and increase the number of night trains, the Dupu Railway also
The innovative use of electric lights along the line.
Such luxurious practices are all to ensure the transportation volume of goods.
Of course, this kind of high-intensity driving will cause a lot of wear and tear on the rails. In the eight years since the operation of the Dupu Railway, the rails have been replaced twice.
So last year, the construction of the double track of the Dupu Railway began. Tens of thousands of road construction workers built bridges and dug holes to build Line 2 next to the Dupu Railway.
"Your Excellency, this is the largest tunnel of the Dup Railway, the Domirs Mountain Tunnel. The total length of the tunnel is 3281 meters. At the exit of the tunnel is the Gertu Bridge. This is the second largest bridge on the Dup Railway. The total length of the bridge is 882 meters.
, using an arch design, and we adopted a new reinforced concrete design, the maximum bearing capacity of the bridge has reached the point where it can safely pass a train weighing 4,000 tons."
On the Kuks to Lecheni section, which is the most difficult part of the Dup railway construction, Kabore, a senior Albanian official, looked at the busy construction workers and listened to the person in charge of the construction of this section talking about the situation at hand.
The construction here is indeed difficult. It is located at the highest point of the Albanian Mountains, and the winding railway is laid in the valleys and river valleys. The manpower and construction materials required are also comparable to the Swiss railway through the Alps.
Looking around Kabore, the railway is located between two mountains. The two railway lines extend straight to the mountain on the side. The rails extend from the two tunnel mouths to the mountain in the distance. It is obvious that it is another tunnel.
On both sides of the railway, there are anti-slip slopes made of cement and stones, showing the hardships of constructing this railway.
"Mr. Elebik, you road construction workers have worked hard. You have sacrificed a lot for this railway that is vital to the kingdom!"
Seeing such a scene, Kabore couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
And he is right, these road construction workers have made a lot of sacrifices. In this era, there are far less large-scale equipment than in later generations, and many times it is necessary to rely on manual digging to advance. So far, in order to build Dupu Duplex Line
, 19 people died, 37 people were seriously injured, and there were even more minor injuries.
This is still considered good. During the construction of the Dupu Railway, a total of 59 people died, and more than 200 people were seriously injured.
Even if there are sufficient materials such as explosives and detonators, the losses will be the same. At present, 120 tons of explosives have been used in the construction of the Dupu Railway. It can be said that explosives, detonators and other materials that can assist in excavation can be seen.
Of course, in addition to this, a lot of steel, cement, etc. are used. It can be said that this railway was built with all kinds of materials.
"If you need anything, you can tell me. If I can, I can help you as much as possible."
Kabore spoke to the person in charge and gave his promise.
"There's nothing else. I just want to give us more living supplies. Everyone is tired after a long day, so it's best if you can have a few drinks."
"No problem, I'll ask the government to send a batch of wine when I get back."
Kabore still understood the needs of these road construction workers and immediately agreed to send a batch of wine.
"Thank you, Sir, for your generosity."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
The only thing lacking in such a harmonious scene was the lack of reporters to take photos of it.
But for Kabore, who had just been transferred from the Puglia region, this was all irrelevant. This time Albania was withdrawn from the Viceroyalty and established as a province. He was able to seize a high-ranking official position, and of course he had the ambition to do something in his career.
The top priority is to ensure that the double-tracking of the Dupu Railway is completed on time. As a senior official, I definitely need to come and take a look.
It should be noted here that Italy has removed the governorships in Libya and Albania and converted them into provinces. This provincial organization is also somewhat different from the current regions in Italy. That is, Italian regions have autonomy.
An autonomous unit with powers and functions, enjoys legislative power, financial autonomy, etc. The provinces established this time are subordinate agencies of the central government, and their legislation and finance are not independent.
The regional system was also the last legacy of the unification of Italy at that time. In order to speed up the unification of Italy, Cavour and Carl's grandfather Emmanuel II gave certain powers to local governments.
This time, the overseas colonies were directly converted into provinces in order to prepare for centralization. Carlo had long wanted to take back these rights of local governments, but in view of the fact that such a takeover would cause local unrest, he has not taken any action.
This time we took advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the original colonial institutions, so we directly changed them into institutions directly under the central government, in order to prepare for the recovery of the rights of local governments.
Of course Carlo and the Roman government also knew that this kind of thing would not be smooth sailing, but since Carlo delayed reform until now, he must be fully prepared. Now it depends on who dares to stand up and oppose, Carlo does not mind killing
Let me show you a monkey. To describe Carlo's mood now in one sentence, that is, the organizer, co-organizer, and football license are all my people. What can you rubbish fight with me?
