Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 336: Rail traffic

At the mouth of the La Plata River in Songzhou, a group of German engineers, accompanied by officials from the Han country, surveyed and mapped the surrounding geographical environment for the construction of the railway from Huaiyang House (Rosario) to Songjiang (Buenos Aires). Do preliminary preparations.

The natural environment of the north and south regions of the Han country is very different. With Songjiang Prefecture as the dividing line, the north region relies on the main channel, tributaries, and main channels of the Parana River. The inland water transportation is developed. The processing zone is transported to other parts of the mainland and overseas through water transportation. Therefore, water transportation is the main mode of transportation in the northern region. Sixty percent of the civilian ships built by the two shipyards of Xinjing Shipyard and Xinghe Shipyard. The above is used to meet the needs of the northern region, and the remaining 40% is used for ocean shipping.

In the south of Songjiang, the rainfall declined in a gradient manner, the inland rivers decreased, the river basins were weak, and several inland rivers with abundant water resources, because the length of the watershed was greatly reduced compared to the northern channel, could not form an interconnected water transportation network. With the conditions to develop water shipping, transportation in the southern region still depends on traditional human and animal power.

Four-wheeled horse-drawn carts and ox carts serve as the main tools of transportation.

According to the geographical and natural climate differences between the north and south regions of the country, the government has formulated different transportation development strategies. In the northern region, relying on the Parana and Uruguay waterways, and using the ports along the river as the starting point for the railway, a number of inland areas will be built. For short- and medium-range railways, the goods and materials in the inland areas are first transferred to river ports by rail transportation, and then transported by water to distribute the goods and materials to other areas.

At the same time, in consideration of the national strategic plan, in the next ten years, three trunk railways will be built in the northern region.

The first article starts from Chang'an (Córdoba City) and connects to the north of Jinju (Catamaca and Tucuman) capitals Yongnian (Tukuman) and Zhangqiu (San Salvador-Dehu) Yiyi City), of which the railway from Changan to Yongnian has been opened to traffic by a British businessman in 1876. After the war in Argentina, the British businessman was compensated for a group of funds. The Han government took control of the railway and will then build on the original railway. Continue to build north to connect Zhangqiu City.

The Taonan section of the railway line is the section of the Huaiyangfu (Rosario) to Songjiang section that German engineers are measuring and observing. Construction is expected to begin in May 1880 and be completed by the end of the year.

The Songjiang-Zhangqiu railway will be the first long-distance railway in Han Dynasty, because the Huaiyang Chang'an section and the Chang'an Yongnian section were opened to traffic during the Argentine period. The Han government only needs to short-haul Huaiyang Songjiang section and Yongnian Zhangqiu section. The railway is completed and connected, and the distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from Zhangqiu to Songjiang can be shortened to two days, which saves about one month compared with the original mode of land and water transportation.

The second main railway line starts from Huaiyang Prefecture and connects north to Yunxi City (Parana City), Xianghe City (Posadas), and Xing'an County (Pasu Fengdu). Construction is expected to begin in two years, and it will take one and a half to two years to complete the operation.

The purpose of constructing the Huaiyang-Xinghe railway is to connect the frontline area with the border with Brazil to facilitate future military redeployment. The second is to strengthen Yangzhou (Rio Grande do Sul) and Los Angeles (Santa Catarina). External transportation capacity, reducing the transportation cost of the two places as local industrial bases,

Yangzhou and Luozhou are rare coal producing areas in La Plata. The proven coal reserves of the two states account for 90% of Brazil's total domestic coal. They are the earliest industrial bases and heavy industry centers built in the country.

The lack of coal resources is a major problem for the development of local industries. To this end, while effectively using the coal reserves in Wuzhou and Yangzhou to develop industries, it has also purchased coal from Colombia, the ninth largest coal reserve in the world, and actively explored and developed the Congolese colonies. Coal resources have become the focus of the next stage of government work.

For more than sixty years between the 1980s and the Second World War, the industrial field has not moved towards the large-scale and integrated industrial system of the 21st century. It uses coal resources stored locally and purchases and mines the Congo. The colonial coal and mineral resources can fully meet the needs of local industrial development. If the foreign war breaks out again and the Han country ’s foreign trade and transportation routes are cut off, the Han country can also use the rich local wood resources to burn the felled wood into charcoal. Supply inland shipping, printing and dyeing, food processing and other industrial fields, there is no need to worry about the risk of being choked by others.

The third main railway line in the north starts from Wuzhong (Montevideo), the capital of Wuzhou (Uruguay), and passes north through Hexi County (Santa Maria) and Xing'an County in Yangzhou, and finally ends in Dongsheng County (if Invia).

On the Wuzhong-Dongsheng railway section, two branch lines are planned to be built. One is the branch line from Wuzhong to Wuling (Perotas) and the Hexi County, and the other is the Hexi County to Xinjing (Alegre port route.)

Wuzhou, Yangzhou, and Luozhou are not only the light and heavy industrial bases of the Han Dynasty, but also important food production areas. Because they are located to the east of the Parana River, coupled with the superior natural environment, they are also habitually called by the local people. It is the three states of Jiangdong.

The northern region is a key area for industrial and agricultural development in the Han Dynasty. Although the northern region has alternative conditions for water transportation, the northern region has received government policy tilt in terms of railway construction, and the area accounts for nearly half of the total land area. In the southern part of the country, in the development plan for the next ten years, only one is planned to be built with Yanling (La Plata City) as the starting point, and Huayang (Neuken State) capital Sanyang (Neuken) as the end Long-distance railway trunk line ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and several short-distance railway branch lines relying on the Yanling-Shanyang railway section.

Min Han native mineral resources are mainly distributed in Jinju (Catamaca and Tucuman), Songzhou (Buenos Aires), and Shouzhou (Santa Cruz).

Among them, Jinzhou is rich in copper, gold, lithium and other mineral resources, with the highest reserves. Songzhou mineral resources are dominated by limestone and other rock mines. The proven mineral resources in Shouzhou are mainly gold mines, silver mines, and mineral resources reserves in three states. It accounts for about 70% of the total in the former Argentina.

Songzhou and Jinzhou are located in the north, and only Shouzhou is located in the southern inland area.Although the Cuyo Basin and Neuquen Basin in the northwest, the San Jorge Bay Basin, and the Magellan Basin in the south are in the 21st century. A total of more than 300 million tons of oil reserves and 27 billion barrels of technically recoverable shale oil reserves were discovered during the survey. As a result, Argentina has become a net oil exporter and the fourth largest shale oil resource after Russia, the mainland and the United States. Reserve countries, but limited by the current technological level, petroleum and shale oil resources can not bring fiscal revenue to the government, and only Shouzhou's gold and silver mineral resources made Li Mingyuan fascinate and decided to build the southern railway trunk line. On the one hand, The local gold and silver resources attract Chinese immigrants to move in. On the other hand, they mine gold, supplement the central bank's gold reserves, and stabilize the national financial system based on the gold standard.

Of course, after the construction of the four north-south main railway lines has been completed and the local side has accumulated certain railway construction technology, relying on the north-south main railway line, the Pacific region railway connecting the other side of the Andes will also be put into operation.
