When they saw that China designed its own 10,000-ton hydraulic press, why did their attitude change? Because they saw that we Chinese could use our own abilities to create industrial heavy equipment. This thing represents the industrial heritage of a country. With this, the Germans were anxious to meet the chairman and talk about cooperation with us. Because they saw that if they did not cooperate with us now and wait for our workers to develop in the future, they would have fewer opportunities to cooperate. In fact, this is true. The Chairman launched the Northeast Industrial Battle for 100 days, which seemed to be eager for quick success, but in fact, the Northeast Industry has the foundation for this jump. Even if we do not cooperate with the Germans and have ten years of development, we can still achieve or even exceed the industrial achievements of the Germans today, but what we lack now is the time to develop industry. This is also the urgency of the Germans when they see our students diligently studying in schools. I have a table for German industrial procurement equipment here, please take a look!"

After Guo Donglin said that, he took out a few forms and sent them to everyone attending the meeting. Li Changgeng first got the form and glanced at it. Before anyone could speak, he said, "Just negotiate according to Donglin's procurement form, Qingque (yellow-eyed) prepared me a budget of 20 million taels of silver!"

Huang Ying did not rush to answer Li Changgeng's words, but focused on Guo Donglin's procurement form and said, "Chairman, I should be able to reserve a budget of 30 million taels of silver for you."

"Well, there is no need to force this. If there are some things that the Germans are unwilling to sell us, we will have the backup of the Americans. Tomorrow is the time for us to fight against the Germans, and everyone will be fully energetic. There is nothing to do - a meeting to end!"

The Sino-German negotiations officially began. The first day of the negotiations were chaired by Gu Weijun and held talks with Angela Merkel, a member of the German Economic and Trade Commission. The main content of the negotiations was the trade tax rate issue between the two countries. This thing China and Germany had long had a tacit understanding, which was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. Both sides wanted to get a good start, and the atmosphere of the negotiations was also very harmonious. It took only one morning for the two sides to reach an agreement on the trade tax rate issue!

In fact, there is no tax rate problem in Sino-German trade. Sino-German trade has always been in the form of barter. China mainly provides food to Germany, and Germany mainly provides industrial products to Lv Kingdom. The so-called tax rate is mainly to lower the export tax rate. China imports grain to implement tariff subsidies, while exports grain to implement high tariffs, Germany is the same, and Germany is the same for grain. On the contrary, Germany also implements high tariff policies for important machine exports. Germany does not import industrial machines from China, so there is no tax rate problem. Therefore, China and Germany are nothing more than a piece of paper signing tax exemption clauses on items that both sides urgently need! There was no such clause before, and it has been done like this.

At noon, both sides were evaluating each other's attitude. In the evening, Li Changgeng held a small cocktail party. Li Changgeng and Hindenburg had a conversation in the small conference room of the banquet. The conversation lasted not very long, only about an hour.

The next day, China and Germany began formal talks. The chief representative of the Chinese negotiations was Wang Yongjiang, and the German Hindenburg took action personally. Hindenburg now only has one rank of marshal and cannot be equal to Li Changgeng in terms of identity. As the vice prime minister of China, Wang Yongjiang's identity as negotiating is just right.

Wang Yongjiang is a relatively rigorous scholarly style. As soon as he started the negotiations, he said, "Our country hopes to achieve an annual steel production of 20 million tons within five years. Therefore, we need to purchase ten sets of the latest open furnace steelmaking technology from Siemens, Germany, with an annual output of 500,000 tons."

Hindenburg nodded: "This is the representative of Siemens, von Arnold Siemens."

Arnold stood up and shook hands with Wang Yongdong across the negotiating table. After sitting down, he spoke and said: "No problem, we can provide China with two sets of 500,000 tons per year, with the most advanced open furnace steelmaking equipment, including hot rolling steel mills and other supporting equipment.!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said, "Mr. Arnold, our China actually has the ability to design and build a flat furnace by itself, so we hope that six of these ten flat furnaces will be produced in China."

Arnold hesitated and nodded, "Yes, but we cannot transfer the core technology and parts of the open furnace to your country!"

"Well, this is what we expect, but we require six sets of equipment produced in China. If our Chinese parts are called for Germany, we hope that Siemens will be able to purchase them first."

"Mr. Vice Premier means that he hopes Siemens will build a factory in China?" Arnold Siemens asked anxiously. This is a great thing for him. Siemens has long been slandering China's huge market.

"Of course, we welcome international capital to invest in and build factories in China, especially companies with advanced industrial technology like your company."

"Okay, I agree that if China can produce parts of a flat furnace, we will give priority to purchasing them. In fact, this also corresponds to our pursuit of reducing production costs. I learned that China's refractory bricks are of very good quality. Moreover, the power of mixed-flow fans developed by Harbin Blower Factory is higher than that of our similar products in Germany, and can be used on flat furnaces. We are very original in this regard, and we can even cooperate in this regard. Or exchange special rights!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded and wrote down Arnold's words on paper with a pen, and said at the beginning: "Then we have reached the purchase intention of the open furnace, and we will have experts in this regard to negotiate with your company.

In addition, we also need the production technology and special authorization of heavy electric motors and drivers of Siemens' steel mill, as well as transformers; high-voltage electric inverters and systems."

Arnold nodded, took out a notebook, and said after reading it. In fact, our Siemens had cooperated with your country in this regard during World War I. It was just the reason why China declared war on Germany, which led to the interruption of our cooperation in the field of electricity. Now that China and Germany have returned to normal diplomatic relations, it is very meaningful for us to restart cooperation. Siemens is very willing to obtain more cooperation with China in terms of electricity!”

There is no bad thing about cooperation with Siemens. First, Siemens' ability in power and metallurgy is indeed the best in the world. It is of course good to be able to cooperate. As for some patents and other things, it is mainly because China does not have this technology, so it is impossible to recognize it without pinching its nose. If China has such technology, there will be no patent in Li Changgeng's mind.

Wang Yongjiang and Arnold had a good start and turned their attention back to Hindenburg. "Marson Marshal just had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Arnold of Siemens. I believe we will continue to enjoy this pleasure! Since Siemens invented the high-power generator, electrolytic aluminum has entered the era of industrial production. The characteristics of this metal are very good and are an indispensable metal in future industries. Germany has a very rich production accumulation in this regard, and it is very rich in aluminum ore in China. We hope to combine China's resource advantages with Germany's industrial advantages to jointly establish a Sino-German Aluminum Company. China only requires 51% of the equity. Germany needs to transfer the production technology of electrolytic aluminum to China at a price." After Wang Yongjiang said this, he looked at Hindenburg's expression nervously. He was not afraid of Hindenburg's rejection, but was afraid that he would be suspected of selling his country when he said this. This is equivalent to the Chinese who paid money and resources, and the Germans only needed to produce technology and managers.

Hindenburg was really surprised after hearing this. Germany has always had a headache about how to transfer industry to the outside world. I didn’t expect that the Chinese would have such a bold idea. This would be very beneficial to Germany. Not only could German companies continue to make profits, but it could also transfer most unemployed workers to China. There is no reason to refuse such a business! Although Germany has the best electrolytic aluminum technology, electrolytic aluminum technology is not very advanced technology. Chinese people have the ability to produce alone, and may be less efficient, but it is only a matter of time.

Hindenburg nodded repeatedly and said, "This kind of cooperation is very good. I think there is no reason for German Aluminum to refuse such a good thing!"

Wang Yongjiang received an expected reply and knew that it was time to make the point. "We want to build two 40,000-ton docks in Dalian. We need German technical support!"

Hindenburg's heartbeat, and the Chinese ambitions were finally revealed. The 40,000-ton dock was used for drying and hemp, and it seemed that there was no other purpose except for the production of battleships. "You want to produce warships!"

Wang Yongjiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As a sovereign state, it is not surprising that it has the right to produce warships."

"Sorry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little surprised. You already have a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, and of course you have the ability to produce battleships!"

When Jiang Fangzhen spoke, he spoke: "Yes, we want to produce battleships, but our country has never produced battleships before. Although we have some basic capabilities to produce battleships, we still need a reference, so we are very interested in the Caesar-class battleships produced by your country!"

Hindenburg sighed deeply. The Caesar-class was a battleship, which was a pain in his heart. The Caesar-class battleship was a new generation of Germany's newly designed battleship after the Helgolan class. It started construction in 1909. Five ships of the same class: Caesar, Frederick the Great, Caesaring, King Albert, and Regent Louis Troll. These five most powerful battleships in Germany at that time disappeared so heroically. After the war, the Caesar-class was detained in Scarpa Bay, England, and all sank in Operation Rainbow. Germany

He also lost the high seas fleet since then. As an old soldier's feelings for battleships were engraved in his bones. Now the French only had German frigates launched, and all the ships and equipment used to produce battleships were either demolished or abandoned. These days he had been wondering if China would have the courage to build battleships. When he saw the Chinese using a very clever method to build a 12,000-ton hydraulic press, he knew that the Chinese would definitely have the idea of ​​building battleships, otherwise they wouldn't have to build such a high-power hydraulic press.

"You are interested in Caesar-class battleships, but China's strength is still not enough. Caesar-class battleships are the pinnacle of German industry. The displacement is: designed displacement 24,724 tons, full load displacement 27,000 tons, battleship size: 172.40 meters long, 29 meters wide, and draft 9.10 meters. Power: 16 Surzer boilers, 3 Parsons/aeg-Cotis steam turbines, the main engine power is 31,000 horsepower, and can reach 46,000 horsepower when overloaded, 3 axes, and 2 rudder parallel configuration. Speed: 21 knots, and can exceed 23 knots when overloaded, which is not inferior to the battleships of the Royal Navy! Endurance: 7,900 nautical miles/12 knots, 2,400 nautical miles/21 knots. Installation: 10 doors 305 millimeters 305 millimeters

meter/50 diameter main gun, 5 double turrets; 14 150mm 45 diameter secondary guns, single-mounted on the side; 12 single-mounted 88mm 45 diameter anti-torpedo boat anti-aircraft guns; 5 500mm torpedo tubes. Main armor belt 350mm, horizontal deck 110mm; front armor on the turret 300mm, top 100mm; side 350mm main armor belt, bow 180mm, and tail 150mm; command tower armor mill. There were 1,084 crew members, including 41 officers. As the largest main battleship of the high seas fleet, the five Caesar-class were the core of the German naval combat forces during World War I. Chief of Staff, General General Chiang, I want to know what you China planned?"

Jiang Baili took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Hindenburg and replied: "Our idea is to redesign the warship on the basis of the Caesar-class. Our ship engineers have found a new method of hull design, which is to tilt the above part of the bow waterline significantly outward, the front end of the bow is semicircular, and the two sides are greatly extended outward to reduce the waves on the bow. The part below the bow waterline uses a bulbous bow, which is located about 3 meters below the waterline. Compared with the sharp bow, this new configuration can reduce the wave resistance of 8 and reduce the waterline of about 3 meters, thus saving about 30 tons of water displacement. The thin waist inside the bow is in a concave arc, and its resistance reduction performance is better."

Before Hindenburg could speak, an expert in ship design said, "Your design plan is very innovative. Based on my judgment, it should be possible to answer what you said. It is just that it is difficult for you to build two 40,000-ton docks without any foundation. The dock design suitable for you should be a cofferdam steel sheet pile dock. The cofferdam steel sheet pile dock often hits from both sides to the middle and closes in the middle. There are two technical problems in wall closing: one is to close the front steel sheet pile wall in Jiangan.

The water level difference on the side will cause the gradually formed wall to swing with the tide and affect safety. Second, when the final closing is closed, the closed pile must be reliably locked with the locking ports of the left and right sides of the pile body where the sinking pile is in place to form a continuous wall. To this end, several steel sheet piles can be selected at different positions on the formed wall before closing, and cut them at the lower water level at the low tide and pump them up to form a gate-type water outlet to balance the water level difference inside and outside the wall. After closing, pull down the pile body that has been pumped up and closed and welded.

Before closing the steel sheet piles, leave a range of more than 10m as the closing section, use the steel sheet piles with sinking piles on both sides as directional guide piles, and then make a closing guide frame, and then use the guide frame to carefully correct the deviation and sink the piles in place. The final closing pile is customized to customize a group of two or three combination piles according to the actual size of the on-site closing opening. Since there can be a certain range of rotation displacement at the lock mouth of the combined pile, the combined piles have obvious self-regulation effect after the combined piles are inserted into the lock mouth on the two sides of the closing opening, and the closing is relatively smooth. The steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam is also a cofferdam structure form on the soft soil foundation. The steel sheet pile foundation foundation is a cofferdam structure form. The steel sheet pile foundation foundation.

After the pit cofferdam is formed, the main structures such as the dock dock dock entrance, the water pump room, the dock dock base plate and other main structures will be built in the foundation pit cofferdam. That is to say, the steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam is a temporary water barrier structure during construction, and it is also part of the dock structure under construction. Like the steel sheet pile cofferdam, the steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam is connected to other water barrier structures upstream and downstream. The steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam is composed of rectangular steel sheet piles surrounding the four sides. The construction methods and key points of the steel sheet piles are the same as above. After the steel sheet piles around the cofferdam are closed and the piles sink in the cofferdam are in place, the precipitation in the dock foundation pit is synchronized with the excavation of soil in the foundation pit. After reaching the design elevation, you can first

Then, the construction of the dock bottom plate, door pier and water pump room and other structures. As the structure elevation in the docking mouth gradually rises, the support at the corresponding elevation of the proposed structure will be removed. After the docking room and the docking door structure are all built, when the water level inside and outside the dock is balanced, the two rows of steel sheet piles on the cofferdam water and the side of the docking room can be cut underwater underwater along the upper entrance of the docking bottom plate and the side line of the docking door pier water pump room. So far, the construction and demolition of the cofferdam have been completed. When the construction of the steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam should be paid special attention to the order and timing of the support construction and demolition in the foundation pit. The support in the steel sheet pile foundation pit cofferdam is generally steel support, which is convenient for rapid installation and demolition. The excavation of the foundation pit surface
