I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 483 Submission
After the Russian Empire nationalized the railways, things did not get better, but worsened.

Although the Imperial Railways in the private era had problems of one kind or another, they were at least still running. Although the railway companies would not take the initiative to improve service quality, as long as there were problems on the railways, the railway companies would solve them as quickly as possible without delay.

After the railways were nationalized, the cost was not reduced and the efficiency was even lower. During the Russo-Japanese War, there was a general strike by railway workers, traffic was paralyzed, and front-line supplies were seriously affected.

Let’s not talk about the high cost of the Amur Railway. The efficiency is really high. It takes less than 86 hours to travel 2 kilometers from Shuangchengzi to Vladivostok.

Don’t be too slow. The 600 kilometers from Bingcheng to Shuangchengzi took almost two and a half days, with an average of only about 10 kilometers per hour.

The scale of Vladivostok Railway Station is larger than any railway station that Joao Lyon and Rotstein have ever seen. You can enter the station via an overpass and exit the station through an underground passage. You can directly transfer to the subway in the train station. The transportation is very convenient.

The underground passage is very spacious, the sanitary condition is also very good, and there is no special smell.

In the glass showcases decorated with electric lights on both sides of the passage, there are color introduction pictures of some of Vladivostok’s attractions. Joao Lyon and Rotstein even discovered introduction pictures of the Vladivostok Fort.

For most port cities, the forts are military restricted areas and tourists are not allowed to visit.

“In Vladivostok, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can not only visit the fort, but you can even experience the feeling of firing a cannon——”

The "Mikasa" was severely damaged, and even if it cost a lot of money to repair, it would no longer be able to serve.

Joao Lyon and Rotstein are both French. Although the Russian Empire and France are allies, France has also caused serious harm to the Russian Empire.

Kotunno knew Vladivostok well.

And it was almost like destroying the country.

If George lost his vigilance because he defeated Japan, then in the eyes of Joao Lyon and Rotstein, George is probably short-lived.

"How can this be!"

Compared with the Parisians, George is very playful. Tourists in Vladivostok can not only visit the fort, but also the "Trophy" captured by the Siberian Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War, and the flagship "Mikasa" of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the "Mikasa" was fished out by the Siberian Fleet, repaired and towed to Vladivostok for tourists to visit.

Although Cotuno's father had not had much dealings with George, they were not political enemies and had no fundamental conflicts.

See clearly, it is a repair, not a repair.

This can’t be blamed on Kotunno, Vladivostok is so fun that it makes people linger and want to stop.

Joao Leone is in disbelief.

Although the main business of Daosheng Bank is not in Vladivostok, Kotunno spends most of the year in Vladivostok.

If you just patch the holes, it's easy.

Cotunno couldn't help but feel proud when he mentioned George.

George rose to fame during the Russo-Japanese War and became the new God of War of the Russian Empire. To be honest, both João Lyon and Rotstein were a little dubious about George's record.

"Blanks, those without warheads, are expensive, but they will never make you regret it."

Rotstein's smile was sarcastic.

That's right, this is in line with the tradition of the Russian Empire.

Paris is not only a world-famous cultural and financial capital, but also an entertainment capital.

So George fished out the Mikasa and towed it back to Vladivostok and transformed it into a military museum.

"Mikasa" is waste recycling.

The "Trophy" is a warship in service and was very popular during the Russo-Japanese War. George was actually willing to transform an armored cruiser into a museum. This is in line with the true nature of an imperial prince. In addition to visiting forts and warships, in Vladivostok you can also take an airship or a hot air balloon, rent a yacht to go fishing, or go to a special hunting ground to experience hunting, have close contact with the legendary Cossacks, and so on.

In short, there is something to do in Vladivostok all year round, and you will not be lonely at all.

"Can we meet Grand Duke Yuriev?"

Joao Lyon hopes to visit George to solve the root cause of the difficulties of the China-Eastern Railway.

"The Grand Duke is very busy, so I can only say that I will try my best."

Cotuno isn't sure either.

Joao Leone was destined to be disappointed. George was not in Vladivostok at all, but went to Coconut City.

After buying East India for so long, George has not been to Coconut City. He is too unqualified as a lord.

But what can I say about Coconut City? It is indeed a good place, but it is not suitable for George.

East India is indeed rich in products, but it is also really hot, humid and muggy, which makes George, who is used to the Vladivostok climate, very uncomfortable.

Although Vladivostok is cold in winter, it is still very comfortable in summer. There are four distinct seasons, and each season has a different feeling.

The temperature in East India is about the same all year round, so you are not afraid of the heat. The key is the high humidity, which makes you feel sticky and uncomfortable whenever you move.

Kanunnikov was not afraid, he was used to the East Indian climate.

"It doesn't matter if it's hotter. In East India, you can work all year round. It's simply a paradise for capital."

Kanunnikov loved the East Indies to death.

When people in the 21st century mention the tropics, their first reaction is that people in the tropics are too lazy to get mud on the walls.

Tropical people are indeed lazy. If you discuss it with them in a loud and angry manner, it will probably be of no use and will piss you off to death.

But if you look at East India with a colonial mentality, the result is completely different.

lazy!
Haha, the whip in the hands of the colonists will make them more diligent.

If the whip doesn't work, there's a machete and a rifle.

Kanunnikov did not count on the East Indian natives either.

Many indigenous people are indeed living in mud and mud, waiting to die when they are full. They feel proud instead of being ashamed.

Most of the workers in Coconut City come from Korea and Japan. The people in these two places are not lazy, and their work enthusiasm can be called model workers.

The most important thing is that the Koreans and Japanese do not resist Russian management, which is very rare.

Fortunately, Goryeo's relationship with the Russian Empire has always been good.

Japan suffered heavy losses in the Russo-Japanese War. Almost every household wore mourning, and its national destiny was completely robbed by the Russian Empire. Therefore, the Japanese attitude towards the Russian Empire should be extremely resistant.

The facts are eye-popping.

Not only do the Japanese not resist Russian rule, many Japanese are also proud of working in Russia. Even if they make mistakes at work because of the Russians, they will never blame the Russians, but find the reasons from themselves. .

Kanunnikov was still surprised by this.

George took it for granted, it was so normal for this kind of thing to happen to the Japanese.
