During the Gaul War, countries were killed to drive up steel prices and wanted to make a war fortune. Because Wang Guangxu had already prepared, bought a lot of steel in advance, and built a lot of track and field, so they did not succeed.

As for the iron mines in the west, Wang Guangxu was useless.

First of all, the conditions are too poor. The construction of heavy industry is not a matter of overnight. It must have a relatively strong foundation.

Although the power that can be passed is established, it will also bring bad effects. After all, it is the market that determines everything, not a large-scale planning system, and everything that is produced is accepted.

For example, there will be a lot of state-owned enterprises in later generations, and they will continue to rebuild, and in the end they will have to rely on the state to pay the bill.

Moreover, most of the local iron ore contains too many impurities, and the content of acidic substances is too high. Although there are ways to improve the quality of iron ore through neutralization, it is not perfect after all. Some special steels and high-quality products are required. Steel has not yet been manufactured, and even if it is manufactured, the cost is too high.

So Wang Guangxu's goal pointed to another place.

That is Australia on the other side of the ocean, where there are high-quality iron ore everywhere.It is better to use resources other than local resources. After all, these things are used a little less, and domestic things can be used as strategic reserves.

Take oil, for example. He also knows that the domestic Shengli Oilfield and Daqing Oilfield, and even the Xinjiang Oilfield, are considered big oilfields, but they are still far from the oilfields in the Persian Gulf or even Siberia.

We must know that although several oil fields have been discovered in Saudi Arabia, the oil soldiers have not been widely used, so they have not attracted much attention. Of course, the Geely people have protected there.

But in Kuwait, Iraq’s oil fields have not been developed or even discovered. Another reason for Wang Guangxu to participate in the Burma-Shop War that will occur next year is to seize the mouth of the Indian Ocean and reach out to the Persian Gulf. .

Now several key machinery bureaus, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Zhouguang Guns Bureau, Jinling Machinery Bureau, Fengtian Machinery Bureau, etc. have all begun to expand.

Although it does not seem to be much, heavy industry is different from light industry. It is in strong demand during war and economic construction. When it enters stable development, except for some automobiles, aerospace and shipbuilding are more active, others will fall into a weak state.

Then it will fall into vicious competition due to under-operating, which will lead to the aging of equipment and insufficient research and development, which will cause major problems for the enterprise. This involves tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. It is not just an economic problem. Issues related to society and politics.

So what he has to do is to become more sophisticated and stronger, not to build these enterprises without thinking.For the light industry, he is temporarily in a state of indulgence, guiding development, and the technology content of light industry is not high, and investment is quick to see. It is also an industry that landlords and even officials are more willing to enter.

It has been lagging behind the world for decades. The country’s disciples are too weak. Education, technology, and infrastructure must be built. Heavy industry must be built into a diversified behemoth, so that it will resist risks and invest in research and development. .

The world’s first car was born in 1886, and it must be a step ahead. Wang Guangxu has already laid out this task. The theoretical basis is already there. The next step is to see the cooperation of Cai Yuanpei and Xu Guangqi with those R&D personnel. That is, the first car must be born next year.

Wang Guangxu suddenly interrupted Zhang Shusheng's question.

"Enjoy the emperor! Your lord just sent a telegram yesterday to ask him whether he can return to his country after the matter has been settled."

Zhang Shusheng suddenly froze. He originally mentioned it after he finished talking about it. After all, it was not a big deal.

"Let him not come back in a hurry. Don't the Gauls have compensation? They buy equipment in Gaul nearby, and they have limited purchase of shipbuilding equipment. Lushun Shipyard's own construction is too slow, and some things can be made by themselves!"

Wang Guangxu said lightly.

"Chen Zunzhi!"

Although Zhang Shusheng said so, he didn't agree with him. How could the Gauls sell us shipbuilding equipment? Would they just sit back and watch us be strong!

Gaul.

It has gradually entered winter, and seeing the first snowfall, it has become very cold when it receives the upper wind.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister! Li Hongzhang has recently been in contact with various shipyards to kill and buy shipbuilding equipment. Several shipyards have even agreed to move in as a whole, and of course they will not take people away."

The diplomat Francis was in charge of staring at Li Hongzhang, and today he suddenly came to Gambida's office.

"It's really cold today! It will snow soon!"

Gambida didn't care about Francis' words, but walked over and closed the door that was forgotten by Francis himself.

"Sorry! I was anxious when I just came in!"

"It's just that our power in the Far East has been weakened by more than half. Once they get these equipment again, their shipbuilding will also develop rapidly, and we will never have a chance to retake Annan."

Francis was a little embarrassed, but he bit the bullet and said.

"You don't have to be so alarmed, people have already bought a shipyard and key technicians in the Will Army, even if we don't sell their technology, they will improve!"

"And our focus is on Europe, in the Mediterranean. Now we are here to fight against the Will Army, in Suez and Geely, and in the Balkans and Maozi, we don't have much energy in the Far East! The Napoleonic era is gone forever. Up!"

Gan Bi waved his hand, motioned Francis to sit down, looked at him and said...
