Act 60 Dongfeng SUV

As the head of the inspection team, Redell, as the first person in the future German Navy, undoubtedly the most concerned issue is Roger's shipbuilding ability. If he does not have enough ability, the things mentioned in the contract are nothing more than mirages.

For the special environment of an island, the most important thing among the military branches is naturally the strength of the navy. Therefore, Roger decided to set the first stop of the inspection at the Naval Dock of the Qiongya Shipyard, and arranged for the Germans to inspect the docks that have been built and under construction one by one.

Just so happened that the 1936-grade destroyer assembled in the Republic of China using modern smuggling parts has been completed and is currently undergoing sea trials. Roger is preparing to visit the dock to let the Germans take a good look at the ship and take the 1936-grade destroyer as a model for Hainan's shipbuilding industry.

Because all this ship was produced in modern times except for the weapon system, in terms of technology and materials, it was not possible to achieve in the 1920s. The only work carried out in the Republic of China was just welding, and all of it was modern technology. In Roger thought that this fully welded structure 1936-grade destroyer made with modern technology should be enough to calm the Germans in 1926. After all, it was something that was made ten years later. The worst effect could also ensure that people admire Hainan's shipbuilding technology. With this "pure Qiongya bloodline" warship to Meng people, I believe that the cooperation agreement between the two parties will be successfully reached.

………………………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, when the genius was dawn, Roger's convoy had already arrived at the house where the Germans lived and came to pick people up and inspect the Qiongya Shipyard as agreed.

Because I just arrived on the shore yesterday, I attended a dinner at night. Now, in order to hurry to go to the shipyard in Sanya, I woke up early in the morning. When Radell and the others came out, they all felt sleepy, and some of them were still yawning. They were obviously very tired and were seriously out of shape.

However, when Germans walked out of the yard and came to the street and saw the row of domineering and mighty new cars parked on the side of the road, everyone was completely sleepy, as if the hardcore fans saw the team they supported finally won the Champions League, and the shiny ferrous metal products kept knocking on their hearts.

It is completely different from the small and exquisite characteristics of the Ford T-car that picked them up at Haikou Port. This wide and domineering vehicle made Redel very excited - every German man has a metal heart, and his pursuit of machinery is deeply rooted in the bones.

With just a few rough glances, anyone can find the uniqueness of this car.

In his heart, Radell and others unconsciously compared the most popular and representative Ford T-mobile car in the world:

In terms of physique, the width of the car in front of me is almost twice that of Ford, and it has half a body, and the height is also much larger. The two are obviously not on the same heavyweight class!

In terms of styling, whether it is Ford T-model or other products, they like to attach a large number of parts to a tiny body. The whole vehicle is like a boot with two headlights on one head. A large number of components of the chassis are also exposed. You can see the steel frame like a skeleton at a glance. In addition, the slim body shape gives people a feeling of being weak and breaking when folded, and at the same time makes the overall lines of the vehicle more complicated and awkward.

The vehicle in front of me is much better. The whole vehicle looks like a whole. Apart from the two small inverted rear mirrors, the whole vehicle has no protruding parts. Even the headlights are wrapped in the body. The large-angle front windshield is well integrated into the shape of the whole vehicle. The turning point of the car body is specially designed into an arc. This series of unique designs makes the lines of the vehicle simple and clear, giving people a feeling of pleasure. Overall, the car is like a square metal ingot that has been cut off by shallow parts. The overall thickness is heavy, but the details are smooth and pleasing to the eye, completely subverting the image of traditional cars!

What Redell loves the most is its chassis. You can't see anything except the wheels. It's all wrapped in the body. The wheels are not traditional spoke-style wheels that are "tie with toothpicks". They are more like a metal plate that is hollowed out as a whole, and it feels more reliable, safe and heavy. At the same time, the width of this car's tires is almost twice that of the narrow tires of Ford T-type cars!

"This is the car that men drive! Those who drive Ford T-model are housewives!" This is the common voice of all members of the German inspection team after seeing Roger's new car.

Seeing that the group of Germans' eyes were all parked in their car and did not move, each with a greedy and envious expression, Roger smiled proudly. This was his proud work - "Dongfeng" SUV!

Previously, he used Hyundai Renovation to form two companies, Qiongya Automobile Co., Ltd. and Roche Power, in Qiongya. The first project to be launched is this Dongfeng SUV and its supporting engine.

First, Roche Power used Hyundai equipment and design drawings to produce a 2.5-liter 80-horsepower engine based on World War II Jeep engines. Later, Qiongya Automobile Co., Ltd. used this engine to produce the territory of the US military's World War II Jeep, but the size was enlarged, and then the body designed to imitate the Hyundai SUV concept was buckled on the chassis of the enlarged version of the Jeep, and finally created this Dongfeng SUV.

This so-called SUV is quite simple to Roger's opinion, and even a bit awkward in terms of performance. For the domineering appearance and for the comfort of riding, the off-road capability of this enhanced Jeep SUV is significantly lower than that of the original Jeep, although the engine is much stronger (strictly speaking, Jeep is also a kind of SUV).

Moreover, what made Roger the most dissatisfied is that this car has not been fully domestically produced, and many parts need to be ordered from the United States. At present, Qiongya can only use factories formed by Hyundai equipment to produce main components such as car bodies, engines, transmissions, etc., while some other secondary components, such as headlights, wipers, batteries, instruments, tires, etc., Roger did not smuggle corresponding production equipment from Hyundai. It was just these things. He sent people to find cooperative manufacturers across the country, but got nothing. In the end, he could only order from abroad. Except for a small number of parts such as car glass, seats, and locks, Roger could not get any help from China.

It can be seen that the construction of an industrial system is still a long way to go. It is not possible to establish a core industry through smuggling alone. There are no other seemingly unimportant industrial assistance. Although it has advanced equipment that has been ahead of the decades, Hainan still has no vehicle production capacity alone.

Fortunately, compared with core industries, these industries are not difficult. As long as Roger's industries are driven and order support, as well as support policies for the national bourgeoisie in China, I believe that they will develop and will eventually create a car with domestic screws.
