The utility of civil airports is not something that cadres of this era can understand, but for Sha Zhengyang, this impression is too deep.

Whether there is an airport almost means whether your city has strength, potential, talent, and influence.

Looking around, there are airports unless there are very close and convenient places, basically all first- and second-tier cities have airports.

There is probably only Suzhou, the exception in China, but that is because it is too close to Shanghai, and there is also a Wuxi Shuofang Airport nearby, which is the case. There are even many third- and fourth-tier cities with airports.

If a city has two airports in the future, no matter what the reason is, it basically means that you should be the standard for an international metropolis.

This not only means that it is as simple as convenient transportation, but also greatly narrows the distance between all parties.

No matter where investors, tourists or business partners, or even scholars and representatives attending a meeting and seminar, as soon as they hear there is an airport, they will subconsciously feel that, oh, you can go back in two or three hours, or come, which is more convincing than anything you have.

Moreover, with the development of the economy and the rapid development of the air cargo logistics industry, whether a city has the potential for freight will also have a great promoting effect on a city.

For Wanzhou, an airport is of great importance, which means that Wanzhou, as the central city of the four provinces of Han, Shaanxi, Hubei and Henan, will be further established, and various resource elements may be further gathered. Therefore, as a visionary leading cadre in a city, it is necessary to strive for it.

Of course, this is different in understanding and ideas of cadres at the district and county level, but for Sha Zhengyang, it is a rare opportunity to win this opportunity for Zhenyang.

On this point, Sha Zhengyang also exchanged views with Yuan Chenggong.

Yuan Chenggong still tends to support the construction of Wanzhou Airport in Zhenyang. Whether it is land compensation or the construction of roads and other infrastructures brought by it, it can drive Zhenyang's economic development to a certain extent, but if you want to say how urgent he has, it is impossible to say.

This is also the basic attitude of the leadership teams of districts and counties including Longling, Zhenyang, and Ono, and they all have the mentality of bargaining with the province and the city.

After all, thousands of acres of land are not a small amount for any district or county.

Zhong Guangbiao was also stunned when Sha Zhengyang proposed to fight for the airport project.

The attitudes of several districts and counties are vague when it comes to airports. If the municipal party committee makes a decision, the districts and counties can only obey, but it seems that it is not the case if you say how positive they have to fight for it.

Of course, it is not the turn of the district and county party committees and governments to interfere in the airport location. The civil aviation department needs to make decisions in conjunction with relevant provincial and municipal departments.

But one thing is that given the particularity and superiority of Wanzhou's geographical location, the construction of Wanzhou Airport has been confirmed. Now we need to discuss how to build, what model to build, and where to build it.

The day before yesterday, Lin Chunming specifically told him that he would take the lead in arresting the construction of Wanzhou Airport, which made Zhong Guangbiao feel as if he was too big.

The state-owned enterprise reform has just come to an end, and the relocation and construction of Factory 7 and 2 are in full swing. This has another important task that cannot be ignored, which made Zhong Guangbiao realize that he seemed to have become an emergency team member specially used to put out fires in Lin Chunming's hands.

"Zhengyang, you Zhenyang want to fight for airport projects. Have you discussed with Lao Yuan?" Zhong Guangbiao had to pay attention to this issue.

The attitudes of the three districts and counties are now very vague. Now Zhenyang has taken the initiative to propose that he is willing to accept this project, which is very meaningful.

Once the district and county party committees and governments are motivated, a lot of work will be much easier to do. Of course, it depends on whether Zhenyang is the most suitable airport location.

"Of course I have discussed it. Secretary Zhong, you wouldn't come to you if you think that Secretary Yuan and I have different opinions on such a big matter, right?" Sha Zhengyang laughed.

"Oh, don't say it, I'm really worried." Zhong Guangbiao shook his head, "The people of Wanzhou welcome the construction of an airport, but time is at his doorstep, so I'm afraid it may not be possible. Of course, those obviously inappropriate counties do not count on their mouths."

This is also a common problem. When the airport does not realize the opportunities brought to development, the enthusiasm of local cadres is indeed uneven.

"We sincerely hope to put the airport project in our Zhenyang. Of course, we also hope to choose a further north area." Sha Zhengyang suggested with a smile.

Zhong Guangbiao shook his head and sneered at Sha Zhengyang's idea, "It's a good thing for you to welcome it, but it's not your turn to interrupt. There are mountainous areas in the north. Do you want to build the airport on the top of the mountain?"

"Of course not. The area to the north of our country is very vast, not all mountainous areas. There are large areas for selection in townships like Huoping and Chizhai. I also hope to be able to stay in the north, make better use of land use, and save some in demolition and relocation."

Sha Zhengyang's explanation could not convince Zhong Guangbiao at all.

"Okay, Zhengyang, what are your ideas in mind? I understand that you and I can't make decisions about this kind of thing. It depends on the civil aviation department and the province. Don't worry about it. If your county is really interested, I can tell you about it, but there is no room for you to choose a specific location. Once it is determined, you must obey unconditionally."

Sha Zhengyang sighed softly. He also knew that districts and counties did not have much say in this kind of thing, but it would be great to be able to hand over the words to Zhong Guangbiao and ask Zhong Guangbiao to help him win.

Large areas have no say, but after determining a certain area, some methods can still be found to adjust some specific locations.

Sha Zhengyang’s idea is to stay as far north as possible and be farther from Zhenyang County. After all, this will leave some more space for the future development of Zhenyang County and the west expansion of Wanzhou urban area.

No one wants to hear the roar of planes passing by in the sky day and night. The airport location is as far as possible, which can reduce noise interference in this area and bring some development vitality to the backward economy in the north of Zhenyang.

"Then please ask Secretary Zhong to help you with a few beautiful words and consider the actual situation of our Zhenyang. Our Zhenyang County Party Committee and County Government welcome the airport to land in Zhenyang. We also hope that in the future urban development, we should consider going westward, especially the issue of fast track between the airport and the city area should also be planned as soon as possible." Sha Zhengyang said calmly.

Zhong Guangbiao burst out laughing.

"Look, the fox's tail is exposed, where did you hear the express passage? No wonder you always say that the location is north and farther away. You are afraid that you can't land the airport in the northernmost Huoji and Gushan, right? Then this express passage can just run through your entire northern area, and the traffic bottleneck is solved all at once."

Sha Zhengyang did not hide it, and said naturally: "The development of Zhenyang is extremely unbalanced. The northern and western areas are mainly mountainous and hilly areas. The road traffic infrastructure is backward. It is better to be in the west. There is also a national highway. However, the northern provincial highway 223 is in ruins and the Municipal Transportation Bureau ignores it. The county has limited financial resources. It can only use the airport to build a fast lane to help solve traffic bottlenecks. Why not do it?"

Zhong Guangbiao pondered: "Once the airport location is determined, there will definitely be a fast passage to the city. Secretary Lin has also discussed this with Mayor Feng and me, but it is only limited to the three of us. And how to repair it is still just a matter of paper. Do you have a good ear, what do you know from Secretary Lin?"

Sha Zhengyang quickly shook his head, "It's not that matter. I guessed it myself. There is no reason why the airport is built dozens of miles away from the city, but it also has to use the national and provincial highways. This is neither scientific nor conducive to the development of the airport's extremely highway. I guessed that it would definitely be a fast lane, either a highway or a first-class car-on road. This is what it means."

In the 1990s, transportation was crucial to the development of a place, especially road traffic, which almost determined the development potential and potential of a region.

In general, the construction of highways in Hanchuan has fallen behind, but this is also closely related to the insufficient financial resources of Hanchuan Province and the rugged terrain. The investment of a highway may be equivalent to the investment of two parts along the eastern coast or the northern plains.

Taking the Hanjia Expressway as an example, from the project establishment discussion to the finalization and implementation, after several twists and turns, the Hanjia Expressway is still under construction, but it will soon be completed and opened to traffic. The longer-length Hanwan Expressway has entered the substantive feasibility demonstration stage. Once finalized, construction will soon start.

The Hanwan Expressway is too long and the investment scale is too large. How to build it? If it is divided into sections, which section is first built or several sections are started one after another. This is a problem. However, the Hanchuan Provincial Party Committee has also made up its mind to finalize the construction of this expressway as soon as possible.

The Hanwan Expressway must pass Zhenyang, and its importance to Wanzhou is self-evident.

This section of Yunwan may involve Dongxia, Shandu, Danzhai and Linhe counties. The northern line may go to Dongxia, Danzhai and the southern line may cross Shandu and Linhe, but in the end they all have to converge in Zhenyang. It is a good thing for Zhenyang, but it is still far away.

The most realistic thing is the opportunity that the airport's highway or airport expressway may bring when landing from the airport to Zhenyang, which can greatly improve traffic in the entire northern area.

"Well, you guessed it right. This road must be repaired. Once the airport location is finalized, the road construction must be included in the agenda immediately. It is necessary to ensure that the day the airport is completed and used, that is, the day this expressway is completed and opened to traffic, and to ensure the smooth operation of the airport. This is also the requirement of the civil aviation department."
