Chapter 406 Looking forward to the future

At the top of the bus station, the carriage set off on time, looking at the road outside with glass windows, Jiang Baili couldn't help but exclaim: "The road in Taiyuan is well built!"

This is the truth. Especially Cai E, who has been in China for a long time, is also an officer who leads troops. When traveling, he will not consider carriages at all. It is easy to say something in the city, but once he gets outside the city, he can't run away at all. This is also the place where they are curious about it.

Jiang Baili's voice was slightly high, and there was a rich man next to him who looked like a landlord. He laughed and said, "This brother, this is probably the first time he has been to the northwest!"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Jiang Bai replied to him. Cai E and others next to him also pricked up their ears and listened. Since they came to the northwest, they always need to know more about this place. What's more about this place than the locals?

The rich landlord was also willing to show off and said directly: "The road to Taiyuan is just built by the four masters. The real good road is to see outside Taiyuan."

Outside Taiyuan? Jiang Baili looked puzzled and looked at the carriage. He was slightly stunned. He thought about the speed of the carriage. After 10 hours of running, he could only walk hundreds of kilometers. To a certain extent, the road surface must be quite flat. The reason why four-wheeled carriages cannot run in China is that the path is too bad. Ordinary official roads can only run horses, or two-wheeled carriages, and two-wheeled carriages are far lower than four-wheeled carriages. However, to a certain extent, those who are more adaptable to the environment and paths are much stronger than those of ordinary carriages.

Could it be that Baotou has built the road from Baotou to Taiyuan? Such questions flashed almost at the same time in the hearts of the three heroes.

After leaving Taiyuan City, there was a little bad road ahead. Fortunately, it was acceptable that the speed of the four-wheeled carriage was reduced to 20 kilometers, which was only ten minutes later. There was a huge level ahead, and there were also some buildings. The coachman driving the carriage went forward to pay the money. Cai E and several others had the time to look at the level and the road behind the level.

Gray Road! Cai E said with a little surprise, "Gray," this kind of thing has just flowed into China, and is usually only in large buildings and many military facilities. The concrete made of grey is stronger in hardness than ordinary brick and stone structures, but grey is very expensive, and is usually only used for road construction on large projects or key projects. This is in Cai E's eyes. This is simply a prodigal son. Such expensive things can pave the road. How good is it to build fortifications for him.

Jiang Baili's face showed a hint of clarity on his face. China does not have gray roads. Japan does not have it, but it does not mean that Germany does not have it. As a major country of heavy industry, Germany has formed a series of standards in the utilization of cement. Urban roads are basically cement roads. The cement roads are relatively clean and flat. However, on the roads outside, they are basically bore roads. This kind of road is relatively cheap and relatively flat. To a certain extent, it is almost everywhere in the streets and alleys of Germany. It is the most convenient way of transportation besides railway transportation. In two cities without railways, highways are the most important way of connection.

After passing this toll station, he walked on the highway. Even Jiang Baili, who was well-informed, was shocked by everything in front of him. There were six lanes in both directions, in the form of a highway, and there was also isolation in the middle. The wide and thick cement road was very flat. The carriage was not only light but also extremely fast, almost exceeding the speed of the train. No wonder, in 10 hours, it could take hundreds of kilometers. The speed of this car was probably more than 40. However, Jiang Baili was a little strange. The horse's power was limitless. If he ran like this continuously, to a certain extent, his speed would decrease for a period of time. What should he do then?

While they were confused, the horse had been running fast for an hour. Finally, the carriage walked to a station, and then built a large courtyard on the side of the road. There were several three-story buildings behind it, which could meet the rest of the class. The stations were replaced with the fastest speed and a few minutes. When the carriage continued to move forward, they fully understood why this road could be used at such a fast speed. It was no different. Change horses. This was the usual situation in which the Qing Dynasty was 800 miles faster. If the horses were replaced, they would not change people. The relays were all the way from outside to the capital.

But now, if it is changed to a carriage, it is not an official road, but an extremely flat gray road. The speed is increased and it is still stable. Even as the carriage is slightly shaking, he feels sleepy.

When Jiang Baili was about to go to bed, a huge roar came. Cai E didn't react much. Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai almost jumped up. The sound was so familiar. It was the sound of the train running at high speed. In Germany, they heard a lot. German trains are no longer high-end things, they are truly entering the people. Most of the people's travels rely on trains.

Is there really a train in Baotou? Looking along the lathe, three neat railways extending forward side by side. At the beginning, the railway from Taiyuan to Baotou did not follow the road. Only after 60 kilometers will one section be parallel to the road.

Now Baotou has been systematically adjusted, especially the production of many locomotives. The density of the railway is quite high. The interval of about 10 minutes has made the railway line extremely busy. When the train whistled over at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, the momentum brought is very amazing.

The speed of the carriage is maintained at about 40 kilometers. This speed is already fast enough for ordinary people, but the train quickly surpassed the carriage from the rear at a speed significantly higher than the speed, and then slowly left.

The three of them were stunned, especially Zhang Xiaohuai, who said with some annoyance: "I would have taken the train if I had known it would have been better. There are not only trains in Baotou, but also speeds so fast that I can really arrive in Baotou within 4 hours!"

"Of course it's true!" The middle-aged landlord was still the middle-aged landlord who affirmed the speed of the train and gave up their idea. It turned out that even if they wanted to take the train, they couldn't get on the train, because the train tickets were quite tight, and they basically had to buy them two or three days in advance. He had no choice but to choose a carriage to travel. He didn't think about the time, but the carriage was not as comfortable as the train.

Now, Zhang Xiaohuai felt relieved. It turned out that even if he went there, he could not buy a ticket. What he didn't know was that there was a dedicated person waiting at the railway station. Out of taking care of the three heroes, he did not follow him in close proximity, but the photos of the three people had been distributed through the railway bureau, ensuring that they would be discovered when they entered the railway station.

The relatively clear itinerary has undergone a huge change in Taiyuan. The telegram came, and it was really a mess. It even went straight to Yang Yuanzhao. It took a long time to ask and learned that they were taking a carriage to Baotou. With a certain number of trains and arrival time, I was relieved.

Every road toll station is notified to pay attention to this carriage. Of course, it is quietly. I will give Baotou any time to summarize the operation of this carriage. The three masters don’t know at all. They are moving slowly on the spacious highway, and occasionally, they will look at the whistling trains.

At noon, the carriage kept stopping. When I was passing by a station, I brought some dry food, pancakes and green onions, but the taste was really good. There was also a pot of clear spring, which was almost 6 o'clock in the evening. When the night fell completely, there were lights on the gray road, which allowed the carriage to move rapidly at night, but for safety reasons, I still chose to rest at the station.

The inn was very clean, and the rooms were the same, divided into single, double, three and big shops. Cai E and others were all soldiers. They did not choose big shops, and of course they did not choose single shops. They chose a triple room, and after a simple washing, they lived in.

"Baili, it seems that we really underestimated Baotou's strength. However, the investment amount of this gray road is very large. In China, there may not be anyone in this investment in China. You must know that the annual investment of a new army town is not enough for hundreds of thousands. A gray road worth hundreds of kilometers is enough to equip more than ten towns!" Cai E said solemnly. In Cai E's opinion, it was impossible for Cai E to establish an association before Baotou, but now, when this gray road is placed in front of them, they believe that at least, Baotou is already very strong in economic strength and has the strength to support the investment of an association.

The three of them have backgrounds in studying abroad, especially Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai. After studying in Japan, they went to Germany for internship. The German army is considered the strongest in the world, but this strength requires extremely strong economic strength and heavy industrial strength as support. In China, if we want to build a strong army, only Baotou has a way.

When we arrived in Suiyuan, this was the intersection. On Suiyuan, the newly built highway extended towards Zhangjiakou. The three of them were soldiers and senior officers. They were very familiar with geography and knew very well which direction was. There were more than one road in Zhangjiakou and Baotou. They not only connected Taiyuan, but also Zhangjiakou. After the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was built, it became an important commercial port. Baotou's plan was definitely not small.

With a sense of longing and expectation, the three heroes began their next itinerary. They never expected that the one who greeted them was not an association, nor a town, with 100,000 armed forces to the teeth. At least one year and more than three years of training, the Baotou army has never been compared with the Chinese and even Asian armies. Their comparison targets are always the German army.
