The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 862 Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony was held grandly.

The person in charge of Tielao Da, the leaders of Yunnan Province, and Liu Tao could only sit aside.

The scene was filled with joy, with people beating drums and gongs.

The 'Fuxing' EMU train is at the train station, with big red flowers hanging on it, just like new recruits about to join the army.

The first item of the opening ceremony is the leader’s speech.

The leader held the manuscript and delivered an important speech, highly affirming the important strategic significance of the Kunlong High-speed Railway, and at the same time expressing high respect for all parties involved in the construction and the workers.

In order to build the Kunlong High-speed Railway, the country mobilized 50 workers, a quarter of whom had experience in high-speed railway construction.

For the construction of the Kunlong High-Speed ​​Railway, large-scale shield machines were specially used and a large number of earth and stone transport vehicles were deployed.

But even so, during the several years of construction of the Kunlong High-speed Railway, hospitals along the line.

A large number of bridges and tunnels were built along the line, countless difficulties were overcome, and the workers created miracles with fearless courage, which led to the opening of the Kunlong High-speed Railway today.

A large number of heroic workers emerged throughout the project.

Liu Tao listened to the numbers one by one and fell silent.

Where is this infrastructure maniac?!

They are just a group of the most lovely people working hard to build a prosperous and strong country.

They chose to suffer more themselves and let their descendants suffer less.

The wages they received were not much, and the pensions were not much either. The only benefit they received was that they would not have to pay for railway rides in the future.

However, there are already more than 10 people who have this qualification, but they are still struggling and are not afraid of sacrifice.

Every inch of land was stained with blood, and not an inch of Chinese territory can be lost.

Liu Tao delivered the speech on behalf of Panshan Group. For the entire Kunlong Railway, Panshan Group bears 70% of the funds, while Yunnan Province and the Ministry of Railways bear 15% each.

In terms of equity, the three parties also distributed it in the ratio of 70:15:15.

During this process, Panshan Group ensured that funds for the entire project were in place, mobilized a large amount of resources, and provided technical support.

The entire Kunlong Railway even takes ecological needs into consideration, that is, animal migration paths are built to minimize damage to the ecological environment.

According to estimates by relevant departments, it will take 50 to 70 years to recover the investment in the entire Kunlun Railway.

When Liu Tao pushed for this railway, he did not think about the profit at all, but rather considered it from a strategic perspective.

With this railway, the entire southwest will have its first access to the sea.

In recent years, whether it is the Mekong River, Chao Phraya River, Salween River and Irrawaddy River, or the construction of the China-Laos-Cambodia Railway, the China-Myanmar Railway, or the China-Thailand Railway that is being promoted, all of them have opened up access to the sea for the entire southwest.

With these roads, railways and waterways, the development potential of the entire southwest can be raised to more than one level.

The opening of the Kunming-Longnan High-speed Railway is of extraordinary significance at a time when the Mekong River's navigability is initially improved.

Soon, the first phase of the China-Laos-Cambodia railway will be open to traffic, and in a few years, the China-Myanmar railway will also be open to traffic.

All the arrangements and efforts are moving in a good direction.

Liu Tao is very fortunate. He is fortunate that the era he lives in is the worst era and the best era at the same time. He fought bravely in this era and made a name for himself.

The entire ASEAN economy is not impossible to develop in the future and can grow into an important regional economy in the world.

China and ASEAN will launch the "10+1" strategy in the future, which is a very good path for win-win cooperation.

Now that the Kunlong Railway is built, the economic development along the line will enter a fast lane, and the great plains here will become a world-class granary and tropical fruit supply base. Liu Tao also gave a very high evaluation of the Kunlong High-speed Railway, although the controversy about this railway still exists. First, the investment in this railway is large, second, the construction is difficult, and third, this is not the focus of China's development. After all, Yunnan Province has always been a southwestern border, and even in the impression of many people, Yunnan Province is still a bitter and cold place.

But any person with ambition knows the importance of the Kunlong Railway.

This is a strategic-level transportation artery in the southwest!

The development of China should not only be the development of the eastern coastal areas, but the comprehensive development of the entire China.

Unbalanced development is a reality, but we should try our best to adjust this imbalance so that China as a whole can develop comprehensively. In this way, China will have multiple engines for development and can develop better.

One leader after another delivered a speech, and then the "Fuxing" EMU carried the first batch of passengers north to Kunming City.

Liu Tao was also one of the first passengers. As for his "Ray Sculpture" helicopter, a pilot would fly it back to Kunming City.

In less than 5 hours, we arrived at Kunshi Station.

It was very late before Liu Tao returned home.

Even he couldn't avoid drinking at social events.

China has always had a drinking culture, and drinking culture exists in all areas.

In a situation like today, if we don’t drink some wine, the atmosphere will always be insufficient and it will make others seem less enthusiastic.

We will meet each other if we look up or down, so we should always keep in mind this.

"Why are you drinking?" Zhu Lin was watching TV. When he saw the secretary helping Liu Tao in, he quickly stood up and asked.

The secretary said something briefly, helped Liu Tao sit on the sofa, and then left.

"Really? Why did you drink for so long? You are so old, don't you know that drinking is harmful to your health?" Zhu Lin scolded in a bad mood.

But he still went to get some hot water to help Liu Tao wash, and then looked at him: "Zi Yu, make a bowl of ginger soup for your brother to sober him up."

"Okay!" Liu Ziyu, who was typing code, replied, then got up and went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.

After washing himself and drinking two bowls of ginger soup, Liu Tao finally woke up half an hour later.

Listening to his wife's complaints, Liu Tao couldn't help but look embarrassed. After all, at this point, being able to get drunk could only be considered a test of his ability at the table.

After taking a break, Liu Tao went to take a shower in his pajamas.

After taking a shower, Liu Tao went to the living room to watch TV.

Liu Ziyu stopped typing code and watched TV in his pajamas.

"I heard from your sister-in-law that you have a girlfriend? When can you bring her back for me to see so I can check her for you?" Liu Tao looked at Liu Ziyu.

Liu Ziyu said embarrassedly: "How can we be dating? We have just known each other for a short time. I don't dislike you, but we haven't even started dating yet."

Girls are always more thin-skinned in this regard.

Liu Tao smiled. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care about Liu Ziyu's love affairs. He also hoped that Liu Ziyu could find his true love and have a happy marriage.

He opposed his parents' coercion because he didn't want Liu Ziyu to marry someone she didn't like and have an unhappy marriage.

Besides, he didn't think highly of the people his parents introduced to him. Although they were all from wealthy families, they were all ugly and none of them could catch his eye.

As for those outstanding young men from wealthy families who were about the same age as Liu Ziyu, they all got married early.

You can't let Liu Ziyu look for someone who is five or six years younger than him, right?
