Greece’s Roman Road

After some negotiation, the Laris Brothers Company and the Rodo Karnaski family from London finally agreed to invest 30% each, with the two companies taking a total of 60% of the steel mill.

Through the import of a large number of machinery and equipment from Britain, France and Germany, the industrial area of ​​Piraeus port in Greece has entered the construction stage. On the land of the demarcated industrial area, there is a scene in full swing.

After the negotiation between Cape Steward and Cantoriotis, the royal family invested 1 million drachmas and obtained 20% of the shares of the cotton textile factory. This company entrusts Greece's desire to develop the textile industry.

This cotton textile factory is usually run by Cantoriotis, and under normal circumstances, the Greek royal family does not intervene.

Constantine brought his attendant, Schmidt, to the industrial area of ​​Piraeus Port, because today was the day when the AC power station was officially started.

After getting out of the carriage, I saw a group of well-dressed and civilized men around, standing far away from the construction site, pointing, seeing the arrival of Constantine, everyone named Gao Bai Rui and Steve The two of them headed and gathered towards the position of the Lord of Stantine.

"His Royal Highness, the construction of the power station has started." Gao Berry stepped forward, pointed to a busy construction site in the distance, and reported to Constantine.

Following Gao Berry's instructions, Constantine looked at the construction site from afar, and saw the yellow dirt on the ground. On the trolleys that came and went, loaded with various building materials, their feet were standing tall, workers were walking around, and various voices were heard. Gathered together, the noise from the construction site can be heard from far away.

"This is the candidate for the power station manager found by the National Bank of Greece, Mr. Karl." Steve pointed to a man with transparent glasses beside him, who was about forty years old.

Hearing Steve introducing himself, Karl took the bowler hat in his right hand and put it on his chest, and said respectfully, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness, I'm Karl from Germany, and I will be the manager of the power station in the future."

Constantine looked at the manager from Germany and looked at Steve suspiciously.

"His Royal Highness, this Mr. Carr has been working in the French power station near the Paris train station before. As the chief engineer, he has rich experience in power station management and was specially dug from France," Steve explained.

"Why do you think of coming to Greece to manage a new power station?" Constantine asked curiously.

After all, Paris, France, was one of the largest cities in the world at this time. As the capital of France, the political, economic and cultural center of France, and a first-class prosperous and prosperous place, it was much better than Athens.

"His Royal Highness, the power station in Paris where I worked before is a DC power station. During the application process, the transmission power of electricity was too low, and there were too many unsolvable constraints. After I heard that Greece was going to build an AC power station, I thought about it. To explore whether alternating current power station is more suitable for promotion than direct current.”

"Also, being a German is not popular in France," Karl said with a wry smile.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the French did have an unforgettable hatred for Germany, and it was normal for them to make things difficult for him, a German.

"Mr. Carl, if you come to be the manager of this power station, what do you think you should do?" Constantine asked.

This power station can be said to be the foundation of the current industrialization of Greece. As the first manager of this station, Constantine must be cautious.

"As far as I know, this power station is a steam turbine imported from the UK. Your Highness, if you really want to promote electricity as an energy source in Greece, you'd better strengthen the R&D and production capacity of the steam turbine and improve its heat conversion efficiency."

"Greece does not have high-quality coal, so what is used to burn power generation is lignite with low calorific value, so the conversion efficiency is even lower."

"This makes the need to improve the efficiency of steam turbines even more urgent."

Carl's question from Constantine seemed to be calm.

"In addition, it is also possible to carry out research on the soot produced after burning power generation, and explore how to obtain sulfur and sulfuric acid from soot, which can not only reduce pollution, but also increase profits."

Hearing Carl's answer, Constantine didn't find anything wrong, so he nodded to Steve, indicating his approval of the manager.

"Mr. Carr, I hope this power station can become a model for the development of electricity in Greece under your management."

After inspecting the site of completion, Constantine hurried back to the Tatoi Palace.

In the conference room in the Tatoi Palace, Sophie, Ichios and Koledis are discussing the work of the Greek Education Foundation.

After seeing Constantine coming in, after a few chats, they began to get to the point.

"So far, the number of children enrolled in Greece has reached 70,000, and the expenditure on compulsory education this year has reached 170,000 pounds," Koledis told everyone.

"By the way, two days ago, Mr. Delianes came to talk with me. He said that the Greek Education Foundation should not only provide education for Greeks in Greece~www.wuxiax.com~ Those living outside Greece Greeks, too, should enjoy this benefit," Ikios said.

Standing and talking without back pain, did he think the foundation's funding came from a strong wind?

"Why did Delianes suddenly become interested in education? Does he have any ideas?" Constantine asked curiously.

As a war fanatic in the Greek parliament, since the last time Andreanes was prime minister for only a few days, she was coaxed out of power after being coaxed out of power after being blocked by the British fleet of Athens due to her strong claim to participate in the Bulgarian and Serbian wars. a period of time.

"It's like this, according to Derejanis, some intellectuals in Albania recently gathered to find an alphabet for Albanian and make Albanian a real language," Ikios said.

The current Albanian language is still an embarrassing situation where there is only a language but no words.

In the original time and space, Albania did not complete the Albanian language until 1908, when the Latin alphabet was adopted.

Thinking of this, Constantine had already guessed what Deliaise was thinking.

That is to infiltrate the Albania region with education, to promote the Greek language, and to expand invisibly.

In fact, when the Ottoman Turks ruled, the Orthodox Church, headed by the Patriarch of Constantinople, assisted the Ottoman Sultan in ruling the Christians in the territory, especially the Orthodox Christians in the Balkans, such as Serbia, Bulgaria region and Albania region.

Affected by this, Greek has become a more respected language within the Orthodox Church. Coupled with historical factors, Greek has a high status among the upper-middle-class elites in the Balkans, and many wealthy people take pride in learning Greek. .
