    ¡°Commander-in-Chief, look¡­.¡±

    "Watermelon! Haha Lei Meng, you have done a great job this time. This place is really hot."

    It was a scorching hot day in Turpan in September. Lei Meng found a few melon farmers from nowhere. Several large carts of round and green watermelons immediately excited Yang Qiu and the guards. He even insisted on accompanying them, saying that they wanted to inspect the northwest.  Lu Bicheng of Petroleum Resources and the exploration team of Duzishan Oilfield all enjoyed themselves.

    Yang Qiu also took her to sit under a Zuogong willow to enjoy the cool air.  Although Cai E is in much better health, the climate in the northwest is dry and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so Yang Qiu left him in Nanjing to take charge. Yue Peng had just returned and was on vacation. He Xi had semi-retired. Feng Guozhang was too old, so the person accompanying him this time was  Song Ziqing, Zhang Xiaozhun, Hu Weide, and Murong Han, a senior official from the northwest, also waited early to meet at Xingxingxia.

    Yang Qiu, who was holding the watermelon, looked at the willow tree behind him and asked, "Is this the Zuogong Willow?"

    Hu Weide was very knowledgeable and said: "Yes, when Zuo Gong helped the coffin out of the fortress and saw that there was no grass left in the thousands of miles of wilderness, he ordered the children of the Hunan Army to plant willows and Elaeagnus along the way, and also ordered the cultivation of saplings in Henan for supply. When the people along the way saw this, they also started to raise questions.  Water conservation, the people and the army worked together to plant hundreds of thousands of trees in just a few years, stretching for thousands of miles Many of these are now planted by later generations, but in order to commemorate Zuo Gong's extraordinary actions, so  No matter who carries it, everyone calls it Zuogongliu."

    Yang Qiu nodded, Zuo Zongtang was probably the first strategist to pay attention to environmental protection.  He knew that if the seriousness of the desert in the northwest was not managed, sooner or later more and more people would leave. Without people, it would be impossible to guard the border. He also admired: "Zuo Gong is indeed a strategist! If you want to make the northwest a prosperous place, you must immigrate to it."  Improve the environment first, so we must continue to do this! Ziqing, please record it. From this year on, all troops stationed in the northwest must carry out afforestation activities, and immigrants, engineering teams, and railway construction personnel must plant trees.  Each person can plant hundreds of thousands of trees every year! The government must also protect and legislate. Anyone who destroys trees will be imprisoned and fined to plant a thousand trees! If you persist for 30 to 50 years, the environment will be greatly improved and the trees will be full of shade.  There are more people coming to the northwest. So this matter must be treated as a northwest strategy!" Later, Shuxia's words really became the most important strategic matter in the construction of the northwest. Coupled with Yang Qiu's decades-long political career, afforestation  The protection of grassland has become a basic national policy. Hundreds of millions of trees have been planted and maintained across the country from south to north, greatly improving the problem of desertification.

    This is something.

    After Yang Qiu finished eating the watermelon, he got in the car and continued moving forward.  He didn't take a plane this time when he came out, at least now that he was afraid of flying because he was "afraid of death."  Therefore, the fleet is all box-type vehicles converted from Renault two-ton trucks.  It looks a bit like an American school bus from later generations.  Although everyone knew about his relationship with Lu Bicheng, the latter spent most of the trip in the same car with several other women.

    After getting in the car, there was no one else around. Yang Qiu immediately asked: "How are the progress of Shi Xiaolou and the others? Have they captured the Qimiong Oilfield?"

    The Chimion Oilfield is located near Andiyan in the Fergana Basin, which was the seat of the Dawan Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. It is surrounded by mountains and has complex terrain.  It was discovered in 1904, and many oil fields were discovered in the following four weeks. By 1910, the daily crude oil production in the basin had reached 200 tons per day.  This number is a drop in the bucket for Baku and the United States, but it is very important for China, which is always in oil shortage!  There are currently three oil fields in the country.  The annual output of Hanjiang, Yanchang and Yumen has reached 100,000 tons each, while the latter only experienced a strong blowout early last year.  It is expected that the annual output will reach about 300,000 tons in two years.  Saudi Arabian crude oil has also been mined, but in order to cover people's eyes, it can transport back up to 100,000 tons per year, and it also has to bear maritime risks, so the full annual supply of 600,000 tons of crude oil is far from enough.  Just for the navy plan formulated not long ago, so many warships can consume this amount of oil in a year. We can't go back to burning coal, right?  In this case, the ship's power index will drop a lot, because no matter how good the white coal is, it is impossible to replace heavy oil.

    Therefore, oil has always been Yang Qiu¡¯s heartache. Without oil, there would be no modern industry!  It is impossible for a data machine to have a resource map. Even if it is known that Daqing has a world-class oil field, the current deep drilling technology cannot dig that deep.  As for the Shengli Oilfield, it is very shallow.  But there are always concerns before Japan is solved.  Therefore, this time, a survey team went to Duzi Mountain to find the Karamay Oil Field, but even if it was found, it would take three to five years to build it.  The ready-made Chimion Oil Field has become a life-saving straw. The daily quantity of 200 tons is enough for the current northwest garrison and construction use, not to mention there is a ready-made small smelting plant in the local area, so half of the troops dispatched this time are due to this oil field.

    "Andiyan is located on a branch of the Tianshan Mountains, and the mountain brigade has already rushed there." Song Ziqing and Hu Weide looked at each other.  The two of them suddenly laughed: "You almost forgot about the oil field if you didn't mention it. In the middle of last year, the Shanghai Translation Office found an oil field survey report from the documents collected in Irkutsk. At the beginning of this year, the oil field survey reportThe survey team drilled according to the location marked above, and when they drilled the third well early last month, a violent blowout occurred!  After Jiang Zuobin and Xu Shuzheng learned about it, they went to check it out in person. They were busy with the war in the northwest some time ago and forgot to report it.  According to calculations by German engineers based on the amount of gas ejected, the reserves are likely to reach 50 million tons!  As long as the equipment can keep up, annual output of one million yuan will not be a problem in three years.  "

    "Millions! Lei Meng, Kuai, map!"

    This news made Yang Qiu ecstatic. He swept the desktop clean and asked Lei Meng to spread out the map of Irkutsk. Song Ziqing pointed out the location and said: The northern end of Lake Baiga is about 430 kilometers west of Irkutsk.  It is 500 kilometers away from the city of Irkutsk, so it is not difficult to build a railway. The current problem is whether to build the refinery on the spot or to build it in Irkutsk.  "

    Looking at the location, Yang Qiu suddenly remembered the largest Jonsk oil field in Irkutsk region. If it was really this, then it would be more than 50 million. It would be a large oil and gas field with hundreds of millions of tons.  Unfortunately, with the current level of oil and gas processing, a lot of natural gas will be wasted.  So he also understood why even Song Ziqing couldn't decide where to build the factory.  Because from the location point of view, this oil field is located in the west of Irkutsk Oblast, less than 200 kilometers away from the first line of defense of Minusinsk on the Yenisey River. As long as you cross the Yenisey River, the road will be flat and undefeable, which is not ideal.  It is a safe place. Once a large-scale war breaks out, no one can guarantee its safety.  It is at least safer to build the refinery in the fortress city of Irkutsk. After all, it is 700 kilometers away from the first line of defense.  What's more, the main fortress was not placed here for the front line, but to ensure that once the enemy broke through and penetrated deeply, it could withstand it for a while, so as to buy time for domestic troops to assemble.  Just if the refinery is built here.  Transport increases costs and damages the Lake Baikal environment.

    This is a big deal!  Yang Qiu is also very cautious, because this oil field is likely to become the largest source of oil in the country in the next twenty years, so after thinking about it, he points to the north of Irkutsk: "Choose a place here, and it must be controlled within  Within 150 kilometers of Irkutsk." Song Ziqing nodded.  This is pretty much what he thought.  150 kilometers are within the radiation range of the fortress, and the infantry can quickly establish a defensive circle after the first line is breached.

    The sudden surprise made Yang Qiu very high-spirited, and he looked at the vast area east of the Yenisei River with emotion.  This land is so fertile, forty percent of the world's total mineral reserves are here!  As long as the Poor Party can be forced to agree to abrogate all treaties this time, as long as the Yenisei River line and the Siberian Railway are blocked in the future, this land will not be able to escape its grasp.  Even if Britain, the United States and France will not allow themselves to be swallowed directly, they can increase the number of Han people through immigration and then eat them away bit by bit through referendums on autonomy!

    Forty percent of the world¡¯s total ore reserves!  What is this concept?  Yang Qiu asked with a rare smile: "How is the immigration going?"

    Hu Weide is the deputy prime minister.  A person familiar with civil affairs said: "The migration to the Northeast is the smoothest, with as many as 6 million people going there. The northwest is more difficult, and most people stop in Gansu, Ningxia and Suiyuan, with a total of about two million, but only a few are willing to come to Xinjiang.  There are very few, and the current total is less than 100,000.¡±

    "Too slow!" Yang Qiu was very dissatisfied with the immigration speed and shouted: "I will send a telegram back later. Don't be polite about some things! Let the Ministry of Justice and the National Guard cooperate. Beggars, refugees, and criminals across the country can  After getting everything done, Xinjiang and East Kazakhstan must ensure an increase of 2 million Han people within one year! In addition, I suggest that the president and prime minister initiate parliamentary discussions first. My idea is to divide the northwest and establish East Kazakhstan and Almaty  The four border areas of Tu, Suiye (Kyrgyz), and Anxi (Tajik) are temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the central government! Mongolia and Xinjiang are then divided. The northwest of Mongolia is divided into Ulyasutai Province, the southwest is changed to Bayan Province, and the Kulun area continues to be Mongolia  Province, the original Xinjiang was divided into two provinces, Xinjiang and Kashgar"

    The northwest is vast, especially Mongolia and Xinjiang. Subdivision can not only facilitate management, but also break up the population structure of these areas and fragment local forces!  Filling the northwest with refugees, beggars and criminals to increase the proportion of Han people is an old method used by all dynasties.  Although the Republic of China has prospered since the founding of the Republic of China, beggars and refugees are still inevitable. Forcibly recruiting them can at least increase the number of millions at once, but Yang Qiu's reputation will definitely not be much better.

    Yang Qiu was very open-minded about this and said with a smile: "We have to consider long-term peace and stability in the northwest. It is better to be scolded by millions of people than to be scolded by future generations! After moving here, they will all be under military control. Each person will be provided with one kilogram of food per day.  Half a year, all food distribution will be terminated after half a year. Murong! The household registration system I told you last time should be implemented in the northwest and border regions as soon as possible. In addition, more of our national social organizations and ordinary people should be mobilized to take the lead in organizing these immigrants.  Get up and learn to protect yourself, you can¡¯t rely on the government and the military for everything.¡±

    Murong Han, who had been sitting next to him, recorded it and asked: "It is a good thing to immigrate to guard the border, but if the number is too large, it may cause problems."?Other ethnic groups are panicking.  I suggest that we recruit soldiers from the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and Tajiks who are friendly to us to form a cavalry.  Firstly, military management can make them identify with our country and give them the mentality to protect their homeland. Secondly, it is recommended to immediately recruit teachers from the mainland or recruit literate people from retired soldiers to come to the northwest to hold accelerated Chinese training courses to facilitate communication.  In the name of promoting a monolingual education system!  "

    Hu Weide¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his thigh and applauded: ¡°Hao Yu is indeed a talented general! The ethnic groups in the northwest have many complicated languages. If we can promote monolingual education with my Chinese language as the top priority, it can greatly promote ethnic exchanges!¡±

    "Not bad." Song Ziqing was also moved by the atmosphere and said: "Since the founding of the army, literacy education has been implemented in the army. Nowadays, many retired soldiers have reached middle school level. It is a pity to let them go home to farm and go to factories. It is better to recruit some  They work as teachers in the northwest. These people have military background, and many are members of the National Socialist Party. If they are mixed with the refugees, a management system can be quickly established. If something happens in the northwest, they can also act as reserve forces."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Zhang Xiaozhun appeared outside the door: "Commander-in-Chief, Minister Lu Zhengxiang called to say that Kolchak has arrived in Irkutsk and is waiting for you. In addition, the British Ambassador went to meet with the President yesterday and asked us to immediately stop our activities in Central Asia.  March into Western Siberia as soon as possible.¡±

    "These British guys are afraid that we will seize Central Asia and go south to threaten India and Afghanistan, so they try to make us go to Western Siberia to die! It's really abominable." After Hu Weide finished speaking angrily, Yang Qiu waved his hands and thought for a moment: "Reply the telegram to Lu Zhengxiang and tell me that I  If there is something delayed in Xinjiang, we need to arrive later, so Kolchak will be held back first. Then we call the President and Prime Minister and ask them to tell the British Ambassador that our army has discovered that a large number of guerrillas from the Poor Party have entered Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, and we hope to allow us to enter these areas.  Regional bandit suppression! As for Western Siberia we will try our best to cooperate."

    Hu Weide and others all smiled when they heard this. Song Ziqing understood Yang Qiu's meaning better and said with a smile: "The British have nothing to do with us now. If the fight is more lively, sooner or later they will use our withdrawal from Central Asia as a condition for a statement to terminate all treaties. As for Gore  Chak We have attracted the attention of the poor party to the east, and they will inevitably pursue and attack Kolchak's department in the near future to avoid being used by us! This time I want to see it  Look at how this top executive can put up a show, unless he wants to keep that little gold to put in the coffin!"

    Yang Qiu smiled slightly and turned to look out the window.  gold?  He wants, but what he really wants is a public announcement by the Russian Poor Party to revoke all unequal treaties between China and Russia!  Of coursethe character of the Slavs is that they only know how to compromise when they are hurt!.
