The timing of the annexation of the northern and southern coastal areas by Haihan is different, so there are also obvious differences between the north and the south in the degree of local merchants' understanding of Haihan's business operations, especially the degree of understanding of the shipping system.
Merchants in the south have long tasted the sweetness of expanding their business scope through sea transportation. They have made a lot of money in the development process of Hong Kong, Kaohsiung Port, Dinghai Port and other places. They know the benefits of having fixed operating facilities in ports, so once they have With the emergence of such emerging big port projects, these capitals flock in like sharks smelling fishy.
Merchants in the north entered the market late, and although they are also working hard to operate shipping, they are obviously not as thorough as those in the south for the long-term benefits of investing in large-scale infrastructure projects outside the region, and they lack the courage to take investment risks.Therefore, when emerging port projects appear, only a few people can decisively grasp such opportunities.
In addition to fixed facilities such as warehouses and commercial warehouses, the infrastructure projects that southern businessmen love to invest in include exclusive berths.In this way, merchants can customize the loading and unloading facilities and layout of the terminal according to their own business needs, so as to improve the operational efficiency of the terminal.
Jiang Jianzhang said: "Qingdao Port adopts the development model of packaging exclusive wharfs and warehouse areas. Every outsourced warehouse area you see has a corresponding exclusive wharf. Currently, there are fifteen exclusive wharfs under construction. There are more than 60 large and small berths, and it is expected that at least a dozen exclusive terminals will start construction within this year.”
As Jiang Jianzhang introduced, most of the completed and unfinished buildings in the port area have conspicuous advertising signs or cloth banners, indicating the identity of the owners.When everyone glanced over in the carriage, it was not difficult to find that there were many familiar southern merchants.
However, the largest exclusive wharf among them, the signboard shows that it is not an out-of-town merchant, but the industry of the local Denglai Chamber of Commerce in Shandong. The wharf is more than a hundred feet long, and there are more than ten trestle bridges. It is estimated that fifty or sixty ships can be docked casually. Boat.
Ning Zijing sighed subconsciously: "The Denglai Chamber of Commerce is very powerful!"
Jiang Jianzhang heard the words and explained: "The Ma family and our Jiang family did not operate alone, but jointly invested in the name of the Denglai Chamber of Commerce."
"I see." Ning Zijing suddenly realized.With these two as the backbone of the Denglai Chamber of Commerce, their strength should not be underestimated, and they must occupy a place in Qingdao Port.
Continuing to the northeast along the coastline, there seems to be another port area under construction a few miles away from the completed port area.Before asking, Jiang Jianzhang took the initiative to introduce: "Over there is the Beihai Fleet base under construction. Last winter, naval forces have been stationed one after another."
"Then let's take a look along the way!" Bex wasn't very interested in this at first, but seeing the longing eyes of the two young people, he changed his mind immediately.
Haihan has not launched a large-scale foreign war in recent years. The young generation like Bai Letong and Ning Zijing basically grew up in a peaceful environment, and it is very rare to be interested in military facilities. Happy to fulfill them.
In fact, compared with commercial docks, the construction standards of naval bases are more consistent. In addition to docks for warships, various facilities including roads, barracks, and arsenals must be carried out according to uniform standards. build.
This also means that the naval base in Qingdao Port is very similar to the naval bases in Dinghai Port, Sasebo Port, Kaohsiung Port and other places.It's just that Bai Letong and Ning Zijing didn't realize this before. It wasn't until they entered the base and looked at the familiar buildings and camp layout around them that they realized that everything here was actually a copy of the existing naval base.
And there were no large battleships they expected to see on the dock, only a few comprehensive supply ships and exploration-class warships docked.
Jiang Jianzhang explained: "At present, the main base of the Beihai Fleet is still located in Lushun Port in Liaodong, so after the beginning of spring, most of the ships spending the winter here have already gone north."
Ning Zijing asked: "Then after the base is completed, will it continue to be vacant for a long time?"
Jiang Jianzhang said: "That's not the case. The expansion of the Beihai Fleet will be imminent. At that time, a regional command center will be set up at this base, and a fleet will be stationed in Qingdao Port. In addition, the Northern Naval Academy planned by Mr. Chen, the Beihai Fleet Training Center, and The largest shipyard in Shandong will also be located here."
One of the main reasons for the development of Qingdao Port in the Northern Region is because the ever-expanding North Sea Fleet needs to set up a military base relatively close to the south to meet the needs of the fleet's winter stationing.On the issue of location selection, the military does not need to choose at all. Qingdao Port is the best and only location.
From the Shandong Peninsula to the south to Hangzhou Bay, there is no other place that can meet the same conditions as Qingdao Port.Even the Zhifu Port, which was built on the coast of Fushan County, Dengzhou in the early years, is much worse than Qingdao Port in terms of environmental conditions.
After the completion of this place, it can theoretically accommodate the ships of the entire North Sea Fleet to enter the port for the winter. Even the naval forces stationed at the Taedong River base in North Korea will temporarily return to Qingdao Port.
However, given the current size of the Beihai Fleet, whether it is still necessary to expand is still a matter of debate among Haihan's senior management.
Haihan almost completely controlled the coastlines of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea more than ten years ago, and there is no opponent with comparable strength in this sea area.With the surrender of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past two years, the combat missions of the North Sea Fleet will only decrease, and most of the time in the future it may only serve as an armed force for combat readiness. Certainly controversial.
Part of the Executive Committee’s opinion is to maintain the current establishment of the North Sea Fleet and tilt the navy’s military expenditure to the southern region. After all, going south and west is the main direction of future external expansion. The armed fleet does not seem to be able to bring additional benefits to Haihan.
Others believe that it is still necessary to take precautions so that the North Sea Fleet can maintain a strong enough deterrent force against the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and North Korea.And a large-scale armed fleet is undoubtedly a very intuitive display of strength.
It only needs to organize one or two large-scale military exercises in the Yellow and Bohai Sea regions every year, and let the envoys of these surrounding countries observe it, and the peaceful international situation here can be effectively continued.So even if it's just a pretense, it should continue to maintain the huge establishment of the Beihai Fleet.
The opinions of the two factions have not been divided, so the expansion of the Beihai Fleet is actually still stuck in the approval of the Executive Committee.However, Chen Yixin seems to have planned the future military use of Qingdao Port, and obviously intends to promote the early implementation of the fleet expansion.
