After the three Xuanyuan Sword families retreated, Chen Hao no longer had any threat in Guizhou. Now that Zhenyuan Prefecture was firmly in his hands, no one dared to try against him. He ordered Lin Xiaofeng and others to stay in Zhenyuan Prefecture to train the army, and at the same time let
Xiaosanshao helped recruit 5,000 trustworthy players, and also paid attention to the political trends in Guizhou in the game.
Chen Hao's NPC troops have almost reached their limit. Before building warships really starts to make money, he can't raise more troops. The next thing the Guizhou base needs to do is to build a large number of basic buildings and build various infrastructure in Zhenyuan Prefecture.
Take measures to turn this place into a real foundation.
The first thing to be built must be the power plant. Zhenyuan Prefecture is rich in water energy resources and has the conditions to build a power plant. After the energy problem is solved by establishing the power plant, other supporting factories can be built, including steel plants, arsenals and other important facilities.
After seizing the robot talents of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Hao has always planned to build a second arsenal in Zhenyuan Prefecture. Now the time is ripe.
A complete arsenal must be supported by a steelmaking plant, so the steelmaking plant must also be put on schedule. The Guizhou base area needs to build a large number of new buildings in a short period of time. It will cost more than one million silver dollars to complete the base area, but Chen Hao feels that this money is a waste of money.
It's worth it. With the steel mill and arsenal, his system in Guizhou was truly perfected.
These factories require technology, talent, and drawings. Chen Hao has already thought of a solution. It is not cost-effective for him to cooperate with the Russians, but he has never been a loser. After agreeing to produce warships for the Russians, he accepted the Russians' employment.
At the same time, he will ask the Russians to provide technology and manpower to build infrastructure for him.
These infrastructures do not require advanced technology, and Chen Hao paid for the construction himself. The Russian side should agree to allow the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet to accept employment. Chen Hao has already thought about how to make demands on the Russians. Zhenyuan Mansion needs to build
There are three B-level hydropower stations and one B-level steelmaking plant. Because it is too troublesome to transport the steel needed by the shipyard from Guizhou, he has to find another location to build an A-level steelmaking plant.
There are iron ore veins in Lushan in Zhenyuan Prefecture. Chen Hao actually knew this, but in the game he had to send people to explore it. After the Russians sent technicians to build a steelmaking plant, Chen Hao would tell them to
The steelmaking plant was built in Lushan, so he had to ask Russia to send prospecting experts.
The steelmaking plants in Guizhou mainly supply arsenals. A B-level steelmaking plant is enough, but the large amount needed for shipbuilding must be supplied by an A-level steelmaking plant. Where should the A-level steelmaking plant be built? Chen Haofei
After some thought, this steelmaking plant should supply Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, Mawei Shipyard and Huangpu Shipyard, and be built in a location with convenient shipping.
Chen Hao consulted a lot of information and found that there is no suitable location near Cam Ranh Bay, but there is an excellent place to build a steelmaking plant in Vietnam. Thanh Hoa on the coast of central and northern Vietnam has rich iron ore resources, and there is actually a large-scale steelmaking
Factory, it is also an excellent place to build a steel mill in the game.
Vietnamese players obviously know this, but they have no prospecting experts, technical personnel and steel plant construction drawings. Four base areas have been established near the Thanh Hoa ore veins. These base areas are all preparing for the establishment of steel plants in the future. Chen
If a foreigner wants to open a steelmaking plant there, he must make other plans.
Fortunately, Chen Haoyu and Ruan Zhiwen secretly cooperated. He provided Ruan Zhiwen with a lot of arms and also sold him several warships. In name, he was selling warships, but in fact Chen Hao still had those warships in his hands. He relied on two
With old cruisers and four destroyers, Nguyen Chi Van became a celebrity in Vietnam and established branches in many places along the northeastern coast.
Vietnamese players all know that Ruan Zhiwen's rise is related to the Chinese people in Cam Ranh Bay, but they can't blame Ruan Zhiwen, so the cooperation between Ruan Zhiwen and the Chinese people is public. For example, the Chinese people sell weapons to Ruan Zhiwen at extremely favorable prices.
We didn’t ask for a high price when selling warships. We can only blame Ruan Zhiwen for being lucky.
Ruan Zhiwen's purchase of Chinese arms and warships has nothing to do with treason. Just as Ruan Zhiwen said in a post on the Vietnam forum, he is not the richest player in Vietnam, but he hopes that Vietnam will become stronger as soon as possible in the game, so he sells iron.
I also want to buy a small fleet. People have worked so hard to make their country strong, and it is nitpicking to accuse him of being involved with the Chinese. Therefore, while Ruan Zhiwen built many sub-stations, his image in the country was actually very good.
Chen Hao determined that after establishing an A-level steelmaking plant in Thanh Hoa, he must increase his support for Ruan Zhiwen, because the Vietnamese players who established a base in Thanh Hoa are not weak. In the future, he will rely on selling warships to make money to maintain expenses.
That's not the case with imported steel. The profit from shipbuilding is too low.
When Chen Hao returned to Cam Ranh Bay, it was almost the end of 1907, and Russian representatives had been waiting for him for several days. After he asked for help in building steel mills and power plants, Russian representatives immediately asked for instructions from home,
Since this type of basic factory does not require high-end technology, the Russians paid a small price, so they readily agreed to his conditions.
Russian technicians will come over soon with drawings, and Chen Hao must determine the construction site of the steel plant as soon as possible. After sending away the Russian representatives, Chen Hao sent Chen Shaokuan to lead the main fleet to join the Russian Pacific Fleet in Shenwei, north of Shanghai, leaving behind
A third of the warships were deployed to guard Cam Ranh Bay.
Chen Hao contacted Ruan Zhiwen through a secret radio station and asked Ruan Zhiwen to find a way to get the mineral veins in Thanh Hoa Province. Ruan Zhiwen did not dare to neglect after receiving the telegram, and quickly summoned his men to discuss how to seize Thanh Hoa and cooperate with Chen Hao
He has received a lot of benefits, and I believe he will definitely benefit from the victory over Thanh Hoa this time and the establishment of a large steelmaking plant.
Ruan Zhiwen no longer minded being a fighter, because Chen Hao had a good grasp of the scale and did not let him do anything excessive. After formulating a battle plan with his men, Ruan Zhiwen commanded six warships to quietly land in Thanh Hoa Province and attack the enemy.
One of the forces near the mine launched a surprise attack and occupied the base in just half a day.
Ruan Zhiwen's actions caused him to be criticized by some people on the forum, but he spoke righteously: "Everything I did was to make our country stronger in the game. I got an A-level steelmaking plant construction drawing.
, of course, I have to control the mineral veins. In addition, I also contacted the Russian side. The Russians are willing to send technical personnel to guide the establishment of a steel plant. It is better for me to occupy the mineral veins in Thanh Hoa than the original people occupying the latrines and not shitting."
Ruan Zhiwen's words caused a sensation. There are only a few A-level steel mills built by players in the game, and most of them are in Europe. The few steel mills established in China are all B-level and C-level. If Vietnamese players can
Building an A-grade steelmaking plant is a big deal.
There are three forces in the mineral veins of Thanh Hoa Province. After Ruan Zhiwen destroyed one force, he quickly mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses from various branches to enter Thanh Hoa. Since he could buy cheap weapons from Chen Hao, Ruan Zhiwen expanded very quickly. His
His strength is much stronger than that of Ruan Junxi and others. After he made a big announcement about building a steel mill in Thanh Hoa, the other three forces became embarrassed and couldn't beat them. It would be a pity to leave in such a dejected manner.
Ruan Zhiwen didn't care what these three players thought. After a large number of his men settled in Thanh Hoa Province, he issued an ultimatum to these three forces. The three forces established B-level headquarters, and each of them had about 5,000 players. Ruan Zhiwen
However, Zhiwen invested 30,000 player troops in Thanh Hoa Province, which gave him an absolute advantage in strength.
In the end, the three families compromised. After Ruan Zhiwen agreed to compensate them for the headquarters construction drawings, they left the mines in Thanh Hoa. The three B-level headquarters construction drawings were produced by Chen Hao. He did not want Ruan Zhiwen to cause trouble with other players.
It's too rigid. The sooner Thanh Hoa is under control, the sooner his steelmaking plant can be launched, and it doesn't matter if he spends a little money.
After Ruan Zhiwen completely occupied Thanh Hoa, he stated that he would keep 20,000 troops in Thanh Hoa for a long time, and would also leave two warships for defense. His plan to build a large steelmaking plant in Thanh Hoa caused a great sensation, and Huaxia
Players also reposted it on the forum. After Chen Baxian from Cam Ranh Bay learned the news, he publicly stated on the forum that if Ruan Zhiwen's large steelmaking plant was successfully built, he would purchase a large amount of steel from his steelmaking plant.
Chen Hao's statement caused a great sensation in the Vietnam forum. Vietnamese players were divided into two groups and argued endlessly on the forum. One group believed that it was a great honor for Vietnamese players to sell steel to Chinese players; the other group believed that they should not sell it.
Give the steel to Chen Baxian and keep it in the country, saving Chen Baxian from buying the steel to produce more arms and warships.
"Chen Baxian blatantly invaded our country and is still occupying our country's Cam Ranh Bay. How could we sell it to him just now?"
"In the real world, we all go to China to buy high-tech products. In the game, we finally have a leading position. Why don't we do this kind of business? I am optimistic about Boss Ruan Zhiwen. After his large steelmaking plant has stable sales, he
In the game, you can accumulate more wealth and buy more warships. Maybe he will become a figure like Chen Baxian by then."
"There is something wrong with the first floor. If we don't sell steel to the Chinese people, why would Boss Ruan Zhiwen keep the steel in the country to rust? There is no domestic consumption of the factory just now. A-level steel plants will produce a large amount of steel every day. If it is produced
Steel cannot generate profits, and this steel factory will become a burden to Mr. Ruan. I support Mr. Ruan in selling steel to Chen Baxian, but the price cannot be taken advantage of by Chen Baxian. It should be based on international prices."
Ruan Zhiwen respects the opinions of players, so he posted a post explaining: "If there is a domestic market, I would be willing to sell the steel domestically even if the price is lower, but it is a pity that the country cannot digest so much steel. Chen Baxian has been building
Warships require an astronomical amount of steel. If I sell it to him at a reasonable price, the steelmaking plant can continue to develop." (To be continued.)
