The vigorous school season in Xinjiang is finally over, and students are back in the classroom.

Our Metropolitan Government has also issued two supplementary construction plans, one is a plan to build a large-scale thermal power plant in Kazakhstan, and this plan will be delivered to the Metropolitan Government for implementation as soon as possible.

Another plan is to consolidate the defenses of the newly occupied territories.

As you know, after World War I, France built a famous line of defense on the border, called the Maginot Line.

In fact, as the victor of the First World War, France was already timid after the war, it was directly bordering Germany, and it was afraid of German retaliation.

Therefore, France was forced by the threat of Germany to build a Maginot Line on the German-French border, which amazed later generations.

Construction began in France in 1929 and was completed in 1940, with the main body of the defense line 700 kilometers long, all poured with reinforced concrete.

At that time, a total of 5 billion francs was spent, which was equivalent to the budget of France for several years at that time.

The inside of the defense line has all kinds of machine guns, cannons, trenches, kitchens, power stations, hospitals, factories, etc., and the passages extend in all directions, and there are tram passages in each fortification, which can quickly mobilize and transfer troops.

It can be said that this is a fairly perfectly designed fortification!

However, the German attack from the Ardennes on the Franco-Belgian border made the Maginot Line a laughing stock of the world.

Whether it is a "laughing stock" or not, its defense system does play a defensive role.

Otherwise, the Germans would not have bypassed this line and attacked from the direction of Belgium.

This shows that the construction of this line of defense was successful, but it is incomplete and porous in terms of the defense system of the whole north of France.

It's not that there's a problem with the Maginot Line itself. There are no problems with it, but it is the most impregnable fortification on the Franco-German border!

So, it is not the Maginot Line that has problems, but the strategic layout of the entire north of the French military.

And at this time, Governor Zhang Dadu, like France, also has a trace of timidity!

He is not afraid of the retaliation of the Russians, he is worried about how to defend this porous border line!

As long as a Russian force enters the border, it will deal a huge blow to the excellent situation in Xinjiang. It's not like the Russians didn't do this during the Soviet era!

The newly reclaimed land is too difficult to defend!

The territory of Kazakhstan is almost entirely gentle hilly plains, and the same is true of the Outer Mongolia region, where there is no "pass" type terrain to defend at all.

If such a terrain does not build an artificial defense line, it will be no different from no defense!

For the world of the 20th century, it was a world between countries, without any credit and order! It's a world of the jungle.

Including the Soviet regime after the October Revolution. The partition of Poland is a good example!

So don't believe that Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and the like are good with their peers! This world is full of malice towards the Chinese nation! You have to believe it!

And the second cargo has long been fully aware of this, so since he came through, he has not only been ruthless to his own people, but also to the enemy!

In this world of the jungle, how can you survive without a little "wolf nature"?

At this time, what made the second cargo a little headache was, where did the laborers who built the new Great Wall come from?

With the new population in Xinjiang, it will definitely not work! The second goods still count on these populations to multiply! It could not be used to build a defensive line.

That's right! Governor Zhang wanted to build a Chinese version of the Maginot Line on the newly occupied land.

He has the money!

But he didn't have the manpower to build it! This line of defense is not comparable to the 700-kilometer Maginot Line.

It stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the east to the Taraz region of Kazakhstan in the west.

The point is that it's not a straight line. Rather, it is a raised arc that encompasses Lake Baikal and Balkhash, which makes it reach a terrifying 12,000 kilometers, a real Great Wall!

It is impossible to build the Maginot Line on such a long border, and the amount of work would be too large. He's the equivalent of 17 Maginot lines, and that's an impossible task!

And what he used was the construction of the frontier castle that his ancestors had adopted. That's right! It is a defensive castle with a string of pearls built at a certain distance.

Even so, it was the largest defense project on the planet. Even if you build a castle for 200 kilometers, you have to build 60 castles.

There are many advantages to building such a castle, not to mention saving time and effort, and it can not only garrison soldiers but also residents.

In wartime, it is a series of defense systems, and in peacetime it can be used as a city and built into a new frontier city. All in all, there are many benefits!

But the second goods do not have manpower now, 300,000 construction corps, 100,000 construction of Xinjiang's own key projects; 100,000 went to build the Tibetan highway; Another 100,000 were sent to the three eastern provinces by the second cargo to cause chaos for the Japanese, and it was no joke that he wanted to change all the railways in the three eastern provinces to Xinjiang standards!

I still have to recruit people! The population of Xinjiang cannot be moved. You can only recruit people from the Central Plains, but fortunately, it is much easier to recruit migrant workers.

You don't have to go through the cumbersome vetting process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as you can do your job.

As a result, [Declaration] once again published a recruitment advertisement in Xinjiang Province.

But this time it is different that this time only young and strong people who can work are recruited, who not only take care of food every day, but also have a salary of two oceans a month.

I am afraid that this is the lowest salary recruitment since the Xinjiang Governor's repeated recruitment!

Who let this group of people not be the people he wants to stay!

With such a big recruitment, and it is also a recruitment from the Xinjiang Governor's Office, there is no need to think about it, the Japanese will mix sand into it, so in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from mixing into Xinjiang, he Zhang Dadu Governor will definitely not want this group of people.

So there's no need to buy people's hearts!

The Metropolitan Governor's "sugar-coated cannonballs" are not something that anyone can eat if they want to.

He is also very realistic, and he is not stupid! He would rather take in the displaced people of the Hami camp at great lengths than take in a large number of young men of unknown origin.

At the very least, the displaced people have been vetted by the Ministry of the Interior.

Then, the young and strong workers can't be reviewed! Are you amused?

Recently, millions of displaced people have taken the initiative to invest in Xinjiang alone, so how can the Ministry of the Interior have so many resources to investigate the young and strong workers?

Whether people are willing to invest in Xinjiang or not!

Therefore, the first thing that the Ministry of the Interior investigates is the army of displaced people who took the initiative to vote, and others will not consider it for the time being! Limited resources are to be used where they are needed.

This year, there has been a lot of news in Xinjiang, and every one of them is a big news that has caused a sensation throughout the country.

And the domestic news is also up and down.

On September 1, 1917, Sun Yat-sen was elected generalissimo of the Guangzhou Military Government, and formally established the Nationalist D Military Government to establish a confrontation model with the Duan Qirui government in Beijing.

So far, the vigorous [Dharma Protection Movement] in China has kicked off the prelude to the Northern Expedition. A certain bald head will also make a name for himself in this Dharma protection movement.

In March 1918, a bald head was appointed director of the Operations Section of the General Headquarters of the Guangdong Army, and half a year later he was appointed commander of the second detachment of the Guangdong Army in Fujian.

Since then, the bald head has officially stepped onto the stage of Chinese political history!
