The straight-line distance between Qiqihar and Shenyang is about 1,300 miles, not because the Guangfu Army does not want to solve the Heilongjiang General earlier, but because the distance is too far. This vast area of 1,300 miles is basically uninhabited, and even a small population can be regarded as enemy-occupied territory.

All the previous war patterns of the Liberation Army were basically blind north of Shenyang. The population of Guannai is large, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang and south of Shenyang. The Great Khing'an Mountains north of Shenyang and the outer Khing'an Mountains are composed of high mountains, dense forests, swamps, and meadows, and it is a common situation that hundreds of miles are uninhabited. This kind of area is a nightmare for the logistics line, and the Guangfu Army, which has swept the world from south to north in Guangdong, attaches great importance to logistics, and the traditional logistics mode cannot be carried out at all in such a place where there is no one for 100 miles.

Weeser's hardline attitude towards the Russian envoys was merely an attitude, showing that China would never give up an inch of land. It's easy to make a statement, but it's not easy to actually implement it at all.

The plan of the Northern Command was divided into two parts, east and west. In the east, a series of military strongholds were built between Shenyang and Qiqihar, and at the same time the route from the coast to the Ezo Republic was opened, and at the same time Sakhalin Island was controlled, and the estuary of the Heilongjiang River was further mastered. After these preparations are completed, the Heilongjiang transportation line will be developed first, and the sea route and land march will be carried out at the same time.

As for the west, the Mongol region was recovered first. From the Mongolian region to the north.

In the current tradition of the Liberation Army, the plan is to advance steadily and step by step. While China's steady steps may seem ineffective, the northern ice sheets are difficult to survive, and this step-by-step approach can create a demographic advantage. More importantly, the Liberation Army never fought unprepared battles. really plays that kind of thousand-mile attack, the Liberation Army really doesn't have this kind of talent. The General Staff did not know how to develop such a military plan.

Weser also knew this situation, and his concept of war was completely derived from the concept of people's war and sports warfare, and the rest of it was very traditional Chinese thinking. To get to a place is to occupy, to farm, to develop, to expand. This idea differs from the Chinese ancestors of thousands of years ago quite limitedly.

It was precisely because he knew that he could eat a few buns and drink a few bowls of soup that Wei Ze decided to go south. The revolution in the productive forces brought about by the Industrial Revolution has greatly expanded China's capabilities, and China in the 21st century cannot afford to develop the Far East. In order to solve the problem of the Far East at its roots, the most efficient way for Weeser to return to Nanjing and continue to promote the second industrial revolution.

Upon his return to Nanjing, Weser immediately sent warships to deliver radios to Borneo and other places. Since the use of radio in the Northeast has been agreed, there is even less reason to refuse to use radio in the South China Sea. Next, Wei Zexian held a closed-door meeting with the SASAC.

At this time, the comrades of the SASAC very frankly told Wei Ze about the internal thinking of the SASAC, from focusing on the development of several economic circles, to improving the level of productivity across the country, and finally to everyone hoping that Wei Ze Du Du could lead a new round of industrial technological breakthroughs. It was determined that the SASAC was not enthusiastic for a while, and in desperation, he came up with a seemingly very reliable plan by copying theories, but Wei Ze was relieved. Although the plan put forward by the SASAC still expects pie in the sky to fall in the end, Wei Ze will never rule out any opportunity to play for China, he is worried that there will be no chance to play for China. Standing in Weeser's position, his own will is often meaningless. If there is no department in the state system that cooperates with Weizer, Weser is a ball alone.

In the end, Wei Ze told the comrades of the SASAC his plan to obtain a stable route to obtain oil, and then fully develop gasoline and diesel engines. China is short of oil, and the Daqing oil field is simply not capable of being exploited by China's existing industrial capacity. Wei Ze didn't want to say these words at all. He just told the extremely excited SASAC comrades that China had begun to explore oil fields in the Dutch East Indies, and if the exploration was successful, it would ship a large amount of oil from the Dutch East Indies back to China. By then, China will be able to use internal combustion engines powered by gasoline and diesel. Automobiles and tractors have entered a large number of all walks of life in China, and the industrial development of the whole China is immediately a comprehensive breakthrough.

"Governor, you have said that you want to go to war with the British for the Dutch East Indies. Was that what you were doing at the time? Pang Congcong's face turned red with excitement. Wei Ze really didn't disappoint her, the original conclusion of the productivity breakthrough was a conclusion that everyone reached in desperation. If the existing path solves the problem, it will not force everyone to seek direction for an "unknowable future". The people of the SASAC admit that Wei Ze is very good, but the SASAC's mention is to smash an era on Wei Ze's shoulders and let Wei Ze bear it. It's hard to say whether Wei Ze can afford it, at least not all the people in the SASAC combined. Now that he knows that Wei Ze has already made a plan for this matter, Pang Congcong is so excited that he can't add it.

"This is a war involved, so I can't divulge secrets." Weeser was not excited, he had an unparalleled responsibility, the war could not be fought, but it could not be lost. All of Weeser's prestige is based on the victories and successes he leads, and as long as the real decider is Weese, even a small defeat will take a heavy toll on Weese's credibility.

"Governor, if there is really a war with the British over oil this time, we will resolutely support the Governor. If we can't win once, we will fight twice, and if we can't win twice, we will fight three times. As long as the Governor leads us, we will be able to take back the oil-producing land. Zhou Gaoming, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed his position sonorously and forcefully.

"We strongly support the Governor's war against the British!" Other members of the National Development and Reform Commission also expressed their emotions one after another.

Weeser knows that in fact, the most belligerent group in the United States is not necessarily the military, but the military-industrial complex group behind it. If it is not a war to defend the homeland and the country, it is actually difficult to gather the soldiers' fighting determination to fight without fear of death. Just like the United States during World War II, at the beginning, domestic isolationism was on the rise, and the United States would never be allowed to go to Europe again to die. Even Roosevelt managed to convince the corporations to try to advocate war in public opinion. The real mobilization of the whole United States was also after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In fact, historians have gradually come to a more unified view, the United States has long known about Japan's plan to attack Pearl Harbor, so they connived at Japan's surprise attack. In this way, the United States can be dragged into the war.

Of course, this does not mean that Weeser thinks that the United States has no justice in attacking Japan. Even if the United States did play some small tricks, it was not the United States that instructed Japan to carry out the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Since Japan is determined to fight this war, the United States cannot be blamed for taking advantage of Japan.

Seeing that this group of NDRC guys have become hardliners based on their own positions, Wei Ze had to reaffirm the phrase "there is no class that betrays interests" in his heart. It is characteristic of the imperial industrial nations to try to plunder as many cheap raw materials as possible. From the current point of view, this has limited relevance to the industrialization process. As long as it is an industrial country, there is no one who does not crave cheap raw materials.

As soon as Wei Ze returned to Nanjing, the NDRC soon had a core. Now that Wei Ze has promised the future development, everyone feels that they have a bottom in their hearts, and the specific work naturally does not need Wei Ze to command it personally.

While Shanghai is an emerging industrial and commercial city in China, Nanjing is also an important industrial center in China. The iron ore mine in Ma'anshan is next to it, and Nanjing and Shanghai have been involved in lawsuits for the supply destination of this iron ore. In the past two years, the gas internal combustion engine developed for power generation has been divided into two branches, one is developing towards giganticism, and the other is represented by a small internal combustion engine used in gas-powered buses. Although the budget is now almost exhausted, the investment in the expansion of the Nanjing internal combustion engine plant is more than enough.

Things have developed far beyond everyone's imagination. On the very day that the radio was sent to Luzon, a telegram was sent from Luzon, "An oil field has been discovered in the Dutch East Indies, and now the large pond where oil is stored is full of oil, and the Chinese oil company in the Dutch East Indies is mobilizing cargo ships from Lanfang Province to transport it." The steel companies in Laem Fong province were producing oil drums as fast as they could, but they were running out of time, so they called in the drums that were transporting palm oil and coconut oil first. ”

In the 21st century, the unit of measurement of international crude oil is not tons or pounds, but barrels. The original crude oil was transported in oil drums, and this dosage unit has been used ever since.

Wei Ze didn't have much to say after getting the news, he could only immediately approve the funds to start the construction of the refinery. The refinery is polluting, but at this stage, Wei Ze can't take care of so much, so the refinery is placed in the area north of the Yangtze River opposite Nanjing.

As soon as this formalities were completed, the radio station in Lan Phuong province was installed. Lan Phuong Province sent the information on Luzon to the central government again. However, the latest information is also available, and it seems that the Chinese oil company has caused a little friction with the Dutch East India authorities. The Dutch were already very unhappy with the coercion of China, which felt that it had given money for the development rights of a large amount of land. But the Dutch felt that it was an "unequal treaty" and wanted to overtax China. In particular, China developed several tin mines in the Dutch East Indies, which were originally signed under a contract to be paid in a lump sum over a certain number of years.

At that time, China was buying a tin mine, which in the eyes of the Dutch colonists was a mine with no future. As a result, after the Chinese arrived in the Dutch East Indies, a camp was set up, a generator, a little electric light, and then they dug day and night. The Dutch originally thought that the Chinese were crazy, but after China figured out the ore veins, a shipload of tin ore was transported out. It's the Dutchman's turn to go crazy.

The colonialists had a strong purpose of making profits, and the same was true of the colonialists' minerals. If the grade is high, the mining is good, and the profit is large, they will feel that it is cost-effective. But a country like China, where there are many people and few resources, does not see the problem that way. In China's view, there is no such thing as a zài colony, as long as a piece of land belongs to the Chinese, it is Chinese territory. As for the tin mine, which the colonists did not look down on, in the eyes of China, it is a good ore with high grade and easy mining. Shipping back to China was immediately a huge profit.

There is a saying in China that no one ploughs the thin field, but there is a fight for the ploughing. The Dutch East India authorities also viewed China's development of the Dutch East Indies with this mentality. They began to argue with the Chinese company, demanding that the Chinese company pay an additional tax.

Lan Phuong province is worried that ships transporting oil will be thwarted as a result.
