The Donglian high-speed railway network is divided into three types: backbone network, important regional network, and intercity high-speed rail between major cities.
The backbone network refers to the planned four-vertical and four-horizontal trunk line network, namely the Mandalay-Sittwe passenger and freight line, the Mandalay-Mingbi passenger and freight line, the Mandalay-Yangon passenger and freight line, and the Mandalay-Mongla passenger line. Freight line. Important high-speed railway branch lines include the Achabu-Sittwe passenger and freight line, Pathein-Yangon passenger and freight line, etc. Intercity high-speed railways include the Mandalay-Taunggyi intercity railway and the Sittwe-Pathein intercity railway.
According to the construction level of high-speed rail, it is divided into high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour without ballast track bed, and quasi-high-speed rail with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour with ballast track bed. The East-Link High-speed Railway is characterized by the extensive use of high-speed bridges and ballastless roadblock technology, and the use of ultra-large radius curves, which not only eliminates interference from level crossings and pedestrians, but also ensures the smoothness of the roadbed and prevents roadbed settlement.
Especially the large-scale use of high-speed bridges has made tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers of high-speed bridges stand on the vast plains as far as the eye can see, making them very majestic and spectacular, becoming a beautiful scenery.
As of November 5, 1985, the mileage of Eastern Link Railway has reached 30,000 kilometers, of which the high-speed railway has exceeded 8,000 kilometers and 26,000 kilometers are under construction. Eastern Union has become one of the countries with the longest operating mileage and the largest scale of high-speed railways in Asia.
In addition, Eastern Link¡¯s high-speed rail network is also connected to the railway networks of Chittagong in Bangladesh, Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, Vientiane, the capital of Laos, and Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
It can be said that this railway network covering the Eastern Union and Indochina is the most massive political achievement project since Yang Weiping invested in northern Myanmar. This has won a lot of points for Yang Weiping to win the hearts and minds of the people of all ethnic groups in Myanmar, as well as the favor and trust of neighboring and friendly countries.
Of course, the construction of Eastern Link¡¯s high-speed rail is inseparable from the financial and technical support of the Federal Republic of Germany and Siemens. relatively. This support has also led to the rapid development of the high-speed rail industry chain in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Take the IE high-speed train that Yang Weiping is currently riding on, which already represents the highest level of technological development of wheel-rail high-speed rail in various countries around the world. Both in terms of its speed and ride comfort. All are world-class.
The reason why Yang Weiping decided to take the latest IE high-speed train launched by Siemens to Switzerland for a two-day Chinese-style visit was because Yang Weiping actually wanted to make an international advertisement for the Eastern Union High-speed Railway. This move can fully demonstrate the true level of the national high-speed rail operation network to be launched by Eastern Union through the media from various countries around the world. Announce to the world that the development of high-speed rail in the Eastern Union is at the forefront of the world, just like the Federal Republic of Germany.
? 9:35 a.m. local time in Zurich, Switzerland.
The Eastern Union Heads of State train from Munich, Federal Republic of Germany, arrived at Zurich Station on time.
The Swiss royal family and government held a grand welcome ceremony at the station.
Yang Weiping gave an impromptu speech at the station to the media from all over the world who came to interview. He also introduced the advanced nature and comfort of the IE high-speed rail. He claimed that this heads of state train represents the current status of the high-speed rail that is about to be put into operation by Eastern Union. Welcome to Eastern Union. People from all over the world who invest, travel, or go on business will take the Eastern Union high-speed rail in the future and enjoy first-class services.
??Without a doubt. The photo of Yang Weiping standing next to the front of the IE high-speed train parked on the platform with the "Eastern Union No. 1" logo on it, naturally appeared on the front pages of mainstream newspapers and magazines around the world.
Switzerland can be said to be a blessed place for Yang Weiping.
Because Tiangong Laboratory officially set sail from here and gradually developed into a flagship in the field of scientific research in the world today!
Although the headquarters of Tiangong Laboratory has moved from Switzerland to Donglian, the Swiss branch of Tiangong Laboratory is still the largest and most technically powerful branch of Tiangong Laboratory¡¯s global branch, no one!
As the saying goes, ¡°You get the moon first if you are close to the building¡±. Switzerland has benefited from the high-tech projects continuously launched by Tiangong Laboratory. After these years of development, Switzerland has become one of the most developed countries in science and technology in the world. It is the first country in Europe to apply computer network information technology to civilian network platforms.
During Yang Weiping¡¯s visit to Switzerland, he will personally attend a major event: co-hosting and launching the connection ceremony between Switzerland¡¯s computer network and Eastern Union¡¯s network with the King of Switzerland!
The Swiss government specially arranged for this event to be held at the Palais des Nations. The goodwill intention is obvious: to commemorate Yang Weiping who launched the prelude of the global nano era here eight years ago and once again announced here that he will lead the world into the Internet information age.
After completing a series of diplomatic and official work with the Swiss government and royal family. Yang Weiping and his wife stayed at a luxurious manor villa on the shores of Lake Lucerne specially arranged by the Swiss government.
According to the receptionist arranged by the Swiss government, this manor is a private property belonging to the Swiss royal family.In order to fully demonstrate Switzerland's respect for Head of State Yang Weiping, the property was specially provided for the rest of Head of State Yang Weiping and his wife.
Compared to the state guesthouse where people come and go, Yang Weiping obviously prefers this quiet and elegant lakeside manor villa.
Lying on a beach chair, drinking the finest red wine collected by the Swiss royal family, listening to Beethoven's "Moonlight", and looking at the shimmering waves of Lake Lucerne in front of him, Yang Weiping felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and ease.
Unfortunately. This rare tranquility was soon interrupted by the ringtone of an incoming call from the cell phone placed on the coffee table.
When the words "Sister Fang" on the caller ID caught his eye, Yang Weiping could only suppress his unhappiness. Pressed the answer button.
"F¨¹hrer, is it convenient for you to speak now?" Qiu Fang's tone from the microphone sounded more serious.
"Convenient. I was just squinting for a while in the garden outside the villa." Yang Weiping said as he turned around and looked around, and happened to see Luo Xiaotong carefully checking the various warning posts and mobile patrol security groups deployed outside.
"Ten minutes ago, Kissinger called me." Qiu Fang said relatively quickly: "He said that the Vice President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush, will serve as the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the United States and hopes to meet with him. You will meet for an interview.¡±
"Bush Sr. wants to meet with me?" Yang Weiping asked, obviously a little surprised: "Did Kissinger reveal the specific content of the conversation?"
"Kissinger said that the relationship between the Eastern Alliance and the United States should not be hostile." Qiu Fang replied seriously: "He said that he hopes that through his efforts, the current diplomatic relationship between the Eastern Alliance and the United States can be changed."
"Haha, the U.S. government really found the right person by asking Kissinger, the former Secretary of State, to act as an intermediary." Yang Weiping said with a relaxed smile: "This man can be said to be the most knowledgeable about our Eastern Alliance among current U.S. politicians. The most profound person."
"What do you mean by this, do you agree?" Qiu Fang seemed to be relieved and asked with a chuckle.
"I agree, of course I agree!" Yang Weiping replied without hesitation: "Why don't you agree? It's rare for the US emperor to lower his posture, so of course we have to show the sincerity we should have."
"I also think that being too stalemate with the U.S. government is not very beneficial to us." Qiu Fang said with a relieved smile: "Before, I thought you would disagree out of consideration for the Soviet Union's face!"
"Sister Fang, what kind of medicine do you think the American Emperor is selling in the gourd this time?"
"Of course the U.S. government will not admit that they are the biggest source of turmoil in the world." Qiu Fang replied sternly: "They obviously want to use Bush Sr.'s visit to the Eastern Alliance to show their magnanimity as a great country and to resolve the problem. Several of your speeches in Europe have plunged the United States into a crisis of international political isolation."
"The ultimate goal is to leverage the iron-clad alliance between us and the Soviet Union." Yang Weiping smiled calmly: "I can guarantee that as long as you convey my agreement to meet with Kissinger, the American news media will definitely We will vigorously publicize this foreign affairs event as soon as possible to create a great momentum."
"You mean that Andropov may have doubts about the strategic partnership between the Eastern Alliance and the Soviet Union because of this meeting?" Qiu Fang asked obviously nervously.
"Andropov won't." Yang Weiping said thoughtfully: "But there will definitely be people in the conservative forces in the Soviet Union who will jump out to make a fuss about this and attack Andropov for leading the Soviet Union along the capitalist line."
"In this case, why do you still agree to Kissinger?" Qiu Fang asked incomprehensibly.
"Because this is a conspiracy set up by Kissinger." Yang Weiping sighed helplessly: "If I refuse to meet and negotiate with the United States, it will make countries around the world think that we, the Eastern Alliance, are the ones provoking the conflict with the United States. war. Our country has always had interests and cooperation relationships with major consortiums and multinational companies in the United States. From the perspective of economic development interests, I have no reason to refuse dialogue with the U.S. government.
However, in this case, the Western media will definitely stick to the argument that the Eastern Conference belongs to Western capitalist countries. The establishment of a strategic partnership between the leader of a socialist country and a new capitalist country will surely become one of the hottest topics in the international community. Kissinger is worthy of being a true politician, and this move he made will really cause a lot of trouble for Andropov's reforms. "
¡°Didn¡¯t you already propose that you should no longer look at international political issues through the colored glasses of the red and blue camps, and it was accepted by the international community?¡± Qiu Fang continued to ask without understanding.
"Those who can accept this view are reformers." Yang Weiping replied with a wry smile: "For die-hard conservatives, they will always think that the views they adhere to areThe point is the most correct, everyone else is wrong. This time, I am afraid that China will also be affected to a certain extent. "
"I told you a long time ago that I would kill Kissinger!" Qiu Fang gritted her teeth and said, "But you just refused. This former US Secretary of State knows too much about us. Keeping him here will sooner or later be a big disaster!"
"Political assassination is the most despicable method." Yang Weiping sighed and said: "This hole cannot be opened, otherwise, once the matter is exposed, we will be reviled by governments around the world." (To be continued)
