The journey starts from the Titanic

The wealthy of these years rarely take planes, and prefer safer and more comfortable trains and cruise ships. Situ Nan is no exception.However, seeing Yu Qiaqing and they were a little worried, they comforted: "Don't worry, this plane is very safe."

After the plane took off, Zhang Jingjiang and the others discovered that there were two fighter jets escorting them. They were surprised again. This was the treatment of the head of state!

After a while, they met another aircraft group in the air. A dozen planes flew from the side of Situ Nan's passenger plane.

At this time, an escort fighter jet next to the passenger plane flew towards the fleet immediately.

As the distance approached, the fleet slowly enlarged, revealing the eye-catching badge of the government army and air force on the plane.

"It's my own." The news came from the front cockpit, seeming to comfort the passengers on the airliner.

It’s just that the aircraft cluster seems to have a silver bomb under its belly, and the unique dull voice of the aircraft cluster reaches the passenger aircraft here, as if 10,000 animals called grass mud horses have been crushed in their heads, making people say no. Excitement or fear coming out?

"Where is it?"

Zhang Jingjiang's face was moved, and she turned her head to ask Situ Nan.He thought to himself, if the planes just now had bad intentions, would he knock down people like himself?

"That was the bomber squadron participating in the exercise. It took off from another airport. I didn't expect to meet them in the air."

Situ Nan explained that he was also slightly frightened when the fleet suddenly appeared just now, and the fighters here immediately greeted him, fending off the bomber group, and carefully guarded the big men on the passenger plane.

The bomber group seemed to realize that there was a big figure sitting on the passenger plane. They didn't get too close. They just waved their wings, and after showing to the escorting fighters, they continued to fly towards Wusongkou.

"That's good. Didn't expect this kind of thing in the sky?"

Yu Qiaqing's pale face showed a smile, this guy didn't know if it was airsick or was frightened by the scene just now.

"It would be great if there were dive bombers." Situ Nan said to himself.

"What dive bomber?" someone asked suddenly.

"Nothing?" Situ Nan shook his head, covering up.

The 1920s and 1930s were the stage of rapid development of the aviation industry. Various countries started various flight competitions in an endless stream. Flight records such as speed, altitude, and distance were repeatedly broken, but there were still many shortcomings, such as power.

The World War II aircraft that Situ Nan is familiar with are generally single-wing, all-metal, retractable landing gear, and these things have not yet appeared.

The bomber group just now looked aggressive, with a small amount of ammunition carried by a single plane. How effective is the actual combat effect, and there is a big question mark?

Situ Nan thought of these thoughts secretly in his heart, and said nothing for a while.Of course, there will be no dissatisfaction, because airplanes, these years, are mainly used to scare people on the ground. The mental deterrence is much stronger than the power of bombs.

Chapter 107

Situ Nan seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied, pointing to the group of bombers outside the window and continuing: "Have you seen? They are our weapon to defend Wusongkou from the enemy outside the country!"

Zhang Jingjiang said with emotion: "Today is really an eye-opener." She sighed in her heart: It is not a fluke that the Zhi Gong Dang has achieved today's achievements!If the plane can really block the maritime threats of the great powers, it will be a blessing for the country!

"I have not yet arrived at Wusongkou, I am full of confidence in Mr. Situ Nan's plan for Shanghai." Yu Qiaqing agreed.

"Thank you, the Great Shanghai Project is not mine alone, it belongs to everyone and belongs to all builders."

Situ Nan said modestly.

As early as last year, someone proposed the Great Shanghai Project, but it was postponed by Song Ziwen and others.

For the sake of national defense and security, the US-China Consortium has allocated considerable resources to inland cities such as Nanjing and Wuhan to establish a number of heavy industrial enterprises. It cannot ignore Shanghai’s central position in the national financial, industrial, and cultural fields. Baking is the general trend.

"Look, Mr. Zhang, the next is Jiangwan, the highlight area of ​​the Great Shanghai Construction Plan. We want to build a Shanghai that is more prosperous than the concessions.

Situ South Road, in order to carry out aerial reconnaissance, the passenger plane has been maintaining a relatively low speed under his command.Under his command, the captain slowly lowered the flying altitude and hovered over the Huangpu River.

Jiangwan, as the name suggests, is the place where the Huangpu River turns. It is located on the west bank of the Huangpu River, next to the public concession, and just blocking the expansion of the public concession.

Later, the famous Lujiazui and Jiangwan faced each other across the river.

A bird's-eye view of the Huangpu River, and Shanghai at a glance.The boats on the river are moving like a shuttle, the size of a matchbox, slowly creeping, looking very small. If you watch them from the ground, those boats have mountains-like figures. This contrast is really interesting.

"Shanghai is prosperous, and it is rare to see such a city in China, but after leaving the concession, the Chinese sector has slowly fallen behind and become barren. We Chinese must build a new city in Shanghai, better than the concession!"

Zhang Jingjiang's eyes still fell on the ground, watching the concession divide Shanghai into two distinct worlds, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In fact, compared with other inland towns and villages, Jiangwan is not too backward, but compared with the concession, the gap will come out. Like a shabby beggar, he is forced to bear the contempt of the wealthy and handsome next to him.

"Oh! I don't feel strong on the ground. When I went up to the sky, I was on the bank of the Huangpu River. It turned out that the gap was so big. When it comes to Pudong, the gap is even bigger."

Yu Qiaqing said.

"Forget Pudong, we don't have that much money to spend in Pudong now." Situ Nan shook his head. Now Pudong is full of rotten land, and there is really no investment value.

The plane flew along the Huangpu River towards the mouth of the Yangtze River. The Shiliyangchang was left behind, and Situ Nan was presented with a wider area of ​​water.

"The concession will be recovered sooner or later. Compared with the concession, the development prospects of Wusongkou here are not bad. The water is deeper. Unlike in the concession, ships of more than 10,000 tons can only be driven in when the tide is high. Build a deep-water port on the seaside of the Yangtze River Estuary.” Situ South Road.

Looking back at Shanghai’s history, Shanghai’s development trajectory is going to the ocean step by step. The port goes from the Huangpu River to the Yangtze River estuary and then to the ocean. The tonnage of ships also ranges from 1,000 tons to 10,000 tons to 100,000 tons. That is almost a hundred years later, if history has not changed.

Zhang Jingjiang's thoughts were agile, and she seemed to get some information from Situ Nan's words, and tentatively asked: "What do you mean... Is the water on the Huangpu River too shallow? It is a big project to build a new port at the mouth of the Yangtze River? !"

"It does mean this." Situ Nan nodded.

If the Huangpu River had not been dredged, it would be difficult for ships exceeding 10,000 tons to sail in.It’s not that the giant ships of the great powers haven't visited Shanghai, but stopped at the Yangtze River more often, rushed into the Huangpu River to show off when necessary, and ran out before the low tide.

The same is true for general ships. Large cruise ships of Southern Star Shipping Company cannot enter the port in the concession, and have to use ferry to realize the communication between the cruise ship and the pier in the concession.

In the construction plan of the Greater Shanghai, Situ Nan's eyes have jumped out of the Huangpu River to focus on the Yangtze Estuary.Baoshan-that is the deepest impression of Shanghai in Situ Nan's memory. If he can, he also wants to build an iron factory in Baoshan, perhaps no smaller than the Hanyang iron factory.It's just that this plan is too large, most of it exists in Situ Nan's mind, and it is impossible to express it to others for a while.

"What about Jiangwan? If a port is built at the mouth of the Yangtze River, will Jiangwan be affected?" Yu Qiaqing asked.

Jiangwan is adjacent to the concession and is still some distance from the mouth of the Yangtze River. Will the new port plan affect the construction plan of Greater Shanghai?

Yu Qiaqing was a little worried.

"The Jiangwan side will naturally also be built, but the other side focuses on commercial areas and public service areas. Government offices, stadiums, schools and other places are in Jiangwan New City. The plan remains unchanged. As for the new dock at the mouth of the Yangtze River. , Mainly for the new industrial zone, the two functions are different and there is no duplication."

Situ Nan explained that the time was rushed just now, and he didn't say anything completely. He only talked about building a new city in Jiangwan, but not about building another industrial zone at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing were secretly surprised, did not expect Situ Nan's appetite to be so great?

Zhang Jingjiang smiled and said, "It turns out that the construction plan of Greater Shanghai is not only about urban construction, but also new industrial areas?"

Situ Nan nodded: "Just to build a new city in Jiangwan, apart from showing it to the powers, it is really not very interesting. I hope to promote Shanghai's industrial development through a few key industries, so it is necessary to build an industrial zone in the Yangtze River Estuary. In this regard, Nanhua Xintangshan has set an example for Shanghai."

"That's true. New Tangshan is doing a good job. Different industrial departments are planned to different areas. The same factories are gathered in the same area. When I visited last year, I was in a light industrial area. There are more than a dozen factories in the same color, all of which are textile mills. Then when we go to the steel mills, alas, looking at the past, it is the world of steel."

Yu Qiaqing interrupted.

South China has a close relationship with China. Chinese businessmen are everywhere in South China to do business. From Yu Qiaqing's excited expression, it is not difficult to feel the amazement of traditional businessmen in the face of the newly planned industrial construction.

"The Nanhua side has no historical burdens, and the construction is a little bit simpler. As for the domestic side, our work may need to be a little more careful."
