Chapter 1105： The Anglo-Austrian War? ? (1/2)

Bad ideas are also ideas. Regardless of how low the price/performance ratio is, the tsarist government can only continue as long as it can save lives at critical moments.

At the end of 1904, the Siberian Railway was opened to traffic. Although it could not operate normally, on average, a few trains could be delivered every day.

Don't underestimate these humble trains. At critical moments, these materials can even determine the outcome of the war.

The gap is always to be filled, and hopes that the smuggling trade, the Tsarist government is actually in desperate illness.

After the end of the European War, the air forces of various countries tacitly chose to eliminate airships. Except for a small number of transport airships, the sky was basically taken by planes.

The Russian Empire also has an airship force, but the scale has always been very small because of the cost-effectiveness.

After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the airship unit was not transferred to the Far East. On the one hand, it was because of the cost-effectiveness. On the other hand, the high-level military knew that its airship unit had been abandoned.

There is no way, the lifespan of the airship is somewhat limited, and if the equipment is not replaced for more than ten or twenty years, the daily training is not easy to take off.

Do not say it is to complete the combat mission, how to transport it to the Far East is a problem, anyway, the old Russian airship equipped by the military can not fly to the destination.

In contrast, Shenluo's airship unit is different. Although withdrawn from the battle sequence, the logistics force still retains a complete organization.

Different from the response of the Russian bureaucracy, as long as the army of the Shinra has an organization, its weapons and equipment must be replaced near the time of retirement.

Although the airship withdrew from the battlefield, which dampened the enthusiasm of the manufacturers, it was the combat airship that was cut off from the production line, and the transport airship still survived tenaciously.

It is not only used by the military, but also used by civilians. If it weren't for the lack of cost-effectiveness, airships would rank alongside trains, ships, and cars as the fourth-most mainstream means of transportation.

Developed countries like Shinra think that the cost is high, not to mention other developing countries. Even if you want to buy, the money in your pocket is not allowed.

In this context, the military's retired airship is embarrassing. There is no market for foreign sales and domestic sales are disliked.

Although capitalists are greedy, they also have to consider risks. The airships equipped by the military have good performance, but the requirements for logistical maintenance are also high.

After all, it was flying in the sky, but if something went wrong, the boat could be destroyed.

Now selling to the Russians, there is no so much trouble. After the handover, the front line was immediately put on the front line, and even the later service was saved.

If there was an accident during the flight, the Japanese must have done it; otherwise, the crew did not operate as required, and absolutely nothing to do with the airship itself.

It can be seen from the positive sales attitude that the Vienna government’s high-level confidentiality work is still very good. Not even one of them knows that the government is ready to welcome the default of the tsarist government's debt.

It’s no good if you don’t prepare in advance. Who will give the Russians a criminal record? It’s not just a debt default, it’s a typical habitual offender.

On the face of it, the Russians are still in their hands. Even if there are problems with logistics, the outside world is generally optimistic about the Russians.

Not only the Tsarist government is full of confidence in the upcoming Siberian Railway, but the outside world is also full of confidence in this railway.

According to ”experts”, after the opening of the Siberian Railway, 15 million tons of cargo can be transported every year. Even if one million Russian troops are fighting on the front lines, they can easily meet logistical needs.

How the numbers are calculated, Franz doesn't know, anyway, he doesn't think the Russians can do it.

Mo said it is the Siberian Railway. Even the railway from Moscow to St. Petersburg, if a single-track operation is cut off, this theoretical goal will not be achieved.

It's not that the railway can't carry it, and it's not that the train is too slow. The real problem lies in organizational ability.

At the end of World War II, the Soviet government set a record of 1.45 million tons of monthly transportation.

However, in just one month, due to the climate, the annual transport volume of the Siberian Railway still failed to exceed 10 million tons.

The time has been advanced forty years, and the carrying capacity has to be increased by 50% on the basis of the Soviet Union. Unless it is opened to the Tsarist government, there is no fun at all.

Considering the difference of the times, Mo said it is challenging the ultimate carrying capacity. As long as one-tenth of it can be completed, the Russian army can hammer the Japanese on the ground.

Unfortunately, transporting 145,000 tons of materials per month is also an unattainable dream.

At least until the Siberian Railway is equipped with the surrounding facilities and the management system is complete, there is no feasibility.

Since the outside world is generally optimistic that the Russians can win, naturally they do not think that the Tsarist government will go bankrupt. As long as the war is won, the loss can be passed on.

Even if Japan is very poor, you can always squeeze out oil as long as you search carefully.

It really doesn't work, and it can be offset by labor. Different from lazy food..., Japanese workers are also high-quality labor.

...

Just as Russia and Austria were trying to find a way for the frontline Russian army's logistics, the situation in London became tense, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Integrating industrial production capacity is itself a thankless job. For capitalists, the overall situation is far less important than making money.

Naturally, everyone has no good impressions of the Campbell administration that promotes all this. The direct manifestation is: public opinion fiercely criticized, as if the Campbell government was the sinner who destroyed Britain.

The opposition party also took the opportunity to initiate impeachment in the parliament. If it weren't for King Edward VII's personal support, and the competitors did not want to pick up the mess at this time, they were not aggressive. It is estimated that Downing Street has now changed owners.

It's nothing more than scolding, as long as it is a serious government, there is no one who does not get scolded. As long as it succeeds, the infamy can be washed away.

Looking at the way Prime Minister Campbell is about to eat people, I know that things are definitely not going well.

Promoted by people who are interested, the integration of industrial production capacity is regarded by the private sector as a government colluding consortium with the intention of annexing everyone's industrial monopoly market.

All of a sudden it was an endless stream of protests, and the shocking slogans of the demonstrators resounded throughout the British Isles. Small and medium-sized capitalists said to them-”No” with actual actions.

Not only the people below resisted, but even the consortium lacked interest. ”Monopoly market” sounds wonderful. If you really operate it, you will find that many industries can't play it like this.

The low threshold is one aspect. The key is for social stability. The Campbell government requires everyone not to lay off staff or drive up prices.

In essence, the core advantage of monopoly lies in optimizing the corporate structure, reducing production costs, and self-controlling pricing power. Now that these two points are gone, what is the fun?

Especially for financial consortia, this is a disaster. People are not interested in doing business honestly if they are used to making quick money.

As 2% of the ”28 Law”, financiers are striving to control 120% of the world's wealth. Naturally, everyone is ”respectful” to the Campbell government's plan.

There was opposition from above and below, and the plan naturally could not be promoted. After working hard for a few months, Prime Minister Campbell found helplessly that he had gained a loneliness.
