In the beautiful Sydney Bay, a railway finally reached Sydney. This railway that runs from Darwin in the northern region and all the way to Sydney is equivalent to spanning the entire Australia, from Darwin in the northwest to Sydney in the southeast, spanning more than 4,000 kilometers. If it were replaced by the past, the completion of this railway would inevitably be as grand as a festival. This is a railway that runs through the entire territory of Australia, representing Australia's transportation conditions, which has risen to a considerable level, but now it is like a trivial matter.

Thousands of kilometers before 1908 were also an insurmountable goal like a towering mountain. However, in this era, under Yang Yuanzhao's crossing, engineering and technical capabilities became the most powerful place in China. China has huge railway construction capabilities. In the hinterland of China, with Baotou as the center, the railway density is quite dense. From Baotou as the center, four railway loops have been formed, including 50 kilometers, 100 kilometers, 200 kilometers, and 500 kilometers. The dense railway network has included a vast area with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers into the system. 50-100 kilometers is considered to be the hinterland satellite city of Baotou, and within 500 companies, it has become an exclusive area.

As for the 500-kilometer circle, the area close to 800,000 kilometers was affected by Baotou. The economy radiated outwardly directly led this area and became the leader in the entire China's machinery manufacturing, electrification, and even the home appliance industry. The annual output value is extremely amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it accounts for one-third of the entire China.

This is today's China, with a GDP of 7 times greater than the United States, and one-third is equivalent to the combined industrial capacity of the top ten powers in the world except China. This is not an ordinary number.

It is precisely because of the strong economic support that China's railways are getting longer and longer. Convenient transportation strengthens economic exchanges, and the more vigorous economy has also increased transportation connections from the side. The two complement each other. A railway line of thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers is no longer news. From the Ural Pass in Siberia, all the way to the Kara Canal near the Indochina Peninsula, the longest railway in the entire China and even Asia, almost nearly 10,000 kilometers. China has quietly surpassed the United States, the world's number one in the railway in terms of total mileage, and has gone further and further on the road of the first, especially after obtaining 33 million square kilometers of land, China began to build a large-scale construction.

In the future, Australia will have 9 large-scale railway lines including two ring lines, three vertical and four horizontal lines, which can connect almost all important cities and ports in Australia, and are arranged like spider webs, allowing resources from every part of Australia to be quickly connected to the railway network and then transported out, greatly saving costs.

Logically speaking, in terms of construction difficulty, the railway from central Australia to Sydney cannot be considered easier. After all, Sydney needs to be renovated. The different track standards have brought about a series of problems. There are too many places to change. However, many engineers and construction teams have made all efforts and finally completed this railway. The reason for this is that China needs the capacity of this railway.

After occupying Australia, military operations were no longer necessary. I had previously stockpiled a large amount of supplies. In addition, Australia lacked food from the Southeast Asian Games, but because the Midwest, which produces livestock products, was occupied by China. Now that China has controlled it, it is easy to restore their living standards. However, China still strengthened control. Just like what Siberia and Southeast Asia have done before, it is done by completely controlling a territory, not only does strong force, but also requires less resistance.

What China does is very simple. It is very difficult to immigrate all people. It is very difficult to let a person leave his home at any time. Fortunately, in Southeast Asia, China has been strongly hindered, both Russia and Australia are not too difficult. The descendants of Europeans themselves have the spirit of adventure and do not have the habit of committing suicide or killing themselves. In Christianity, suicide is a serious crime, which also makes the immigration work go smoothly.

However, the railway from Sydney to Central occupies too many vehicles, and there are other things in the garrison. With economic development, the most important thing is the most important thing. Even if it is a way to change the car, transportation can be accelerated. This is the current connection between Sydney and Central occupies. After urgently connecting more than 200 kilometers of railways, it can directly reach Darwin through Sydney.

The main function of this railway is immigration at present. Australia has a total population of more than 10 million, and the losses were less than 700,000 in the war. China invaded Australia for almost two years and fought an annihilation war. Most of the time, the number of prisoners was quite large. The remaining 1 million were in Europe, of which about 500,000 were sacrificed, and the remaining mutiny was about 9 million. This is an unstable factor in the eyes of other countries, but in China, it is a good labor force. As long as it is used reasonably, it can achieve good results.

After occupying the northern and central regions, nearly half of Australia's population has been included in China. They have been transported by railways and transported to various places in China by sea. There are at least 4 million people left in Australia. The Southeast region is indeed the most elite area. Next, after entering the Sydney area, due to the food crisis, half-forced and half-transported, about 2.5 million came, and the remaining less than 1.5 million are still near Sydney. Most of these people are senior officials, soldiers, or military families. Zhang Xiaohuai tried to transport them away since the occupied Sydney, but the effect was not good. It was not until the Sydney railway was completed that large-scale transportation began.

Sydney, which has hundreds of thousands of people, is also considered a large city in the world, besides China, and a large-scale retreat of hundreds of thousands is a nightmare for any country, let alone a retreat under the orders of the occupying army. Even if Germany emptys France and Belgium and transports China human resources, it is also under high-pressure policies. Thousands of people died at the gun of the army, which is nothing for Europe, where deaths exceed 30,000 or even 50,000 in one day.

China has become much gentler. They will explain the policies to the residents. Of course, it is impossible to stay, but it can protect personal property. Even a house can be obtained as a house card. According to the area of ​​the house, a house of the same area can be obtained in the city that is distributed in the future. As for personal belongings, they can also be retained.

In the eyes of Australians, such occupiers are extremely kind. In addition to corporate stocks and government bonds that have become waste paper, they can even be protected. Of course, they can only be exchanged for equal amounts of Chinese currency. So far, Australia's currency has not been abolished by European countries. It can still be exchanged in part by urgent use of channels. Even if there is any loss, China will not have any knowledge with ordinary people. After all, I have gained enough from Australia. Only 800 tons of gold is enough to pay the cash in these people's hands. Of course, bank deposits are impossible to recognize, which basically guarantees the wealth of most Australian civilians and is also the fundamental factor that can smooth immigration.

The unknown is always the most terrifying. The people of Sydney who stayed in the end, as well as the people of other cities, boarded the train with doubts. Among them, there may have been many, who have floated across the sea, seen many countries, and even the scenery of London and New York, but few have been to the North. For those in Sydney, the North is like another world, even farther away from London and New York.

The train crossed more than 200 kilometers of railway line and transferred at a station in the middle. The railway line has not been completely changed, so it can only be transferred now. Fortunately, the train reopened after one train to another, personnel, supplies, and luggage transfer.

Some people who have done trains naturally feel the difference. The speed is obviously much faster. Sydney's railway is just a second-tier product eliminated by the UK. It was established for a long time. Sydney has no bulk materials transported out, so it has not been upgraded and transformed. However, all of China's heavy-duty railways of 75 or even more than 80 kilograms are far above Australian railways in terms of load capacity and speed. As for speed, China is more than 20 years ahead of all countries in this era. Even steam trains can drive at a speed of more than 130 kilometers per hour, and the limit is even more than 170 kilometers. Such speed is fast in this era.

It is precisely because of this driving speed, even if it is a miles away of thousands of kilometers, it only took 37 hours from Sydney to the North, but only a day and a half. When they get the prompt to enter the North, most people don’t believe in their ears.

So fast? That's right, this is everyone's idea. None of the reasons why Sydney's people rarely go to the north, because the north is too far away. They either take a steamer to bypass the entire Australian continent from the south, or travel on land at a slow speed from the middle. After all, Sydney has only more than 200 kilometers of railway lines, and the others are still on paper. In everyone's impression, it will take at least half a month or even a month to go to the north. It's incredible that it's only a day to arrive. (To be continued.)
