Chapter Seventy-Six: Expanding Armaments (3)
The paranormal events on the American continent are intensifying, and this time it is not only the loss of food and livestock.
What's also strange is that the waters of the Great Lakes and Lake Superior have gradually disappeared into thin air in a month and a half!
Fortunately, these lakes are flooded with river water, and after a year, the storage capacity of the previous year will be restored. It has not had much impact on the environment and people's livelihood in the vicinity.
What's even stranger is that there is no trace of any creature on the exposed lake bed, not even the shellfish in the silt!
For this reason, the U.S. Congress convened an emergency session and issued a water crisis warning to the American people! Citizens are called upon to conserve every drop of fresh water.
The world's scientific community is even more divided, there are holes leaking water, tornadoes in the sky, solar wind evaporation, anyway, there are all kinds of things~~~ Even the heat of the European war is a little colder.
At this time, on a cruise ship bound for Tianjin, China, a young Chinese man who had lost his weight and lost his shape kept muttering ~ Loss! This time it's a big loss!
This scrawny Chinese young man is Zhang Erye, the director of this supernatural event on the American continent. For a month and a half, I have been squatting in the water system without darkness and night, constantly absorbing water sources, and it is strange that I am not thin!
This means that he has energy liquid to support, or he will vomit blood and die sooner!
It was also thanks to his wit when he absorbed the water source, and collected the water products in time to replenish the energy liquid with huge losses, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on at all.
That's it, the amount of energy in the energy pool has also changed from the amount of the bathtub to the amount of the washbasin!
So on the way home, this product kept muttering "loss, loss"~~~
should also be his second master, always thinking that one is one out.
It's so easy to fill the Tarim Basin and make it a giant lake! It will require 283.2 trillion cubic meters of water.
Everyone must have no three-dimensional concept of this figure of 283.2 trillion cubic meters in their minds.
Let's put it this way~~~
If the Yangtze River, which has the largest annual average water flow in China, is diverted into the Tarim Basin, it will take nearly 300 years to fill the Tarim Basin, not counting the annual evaporation.
If you don't have a three-dimensional concept, you will definitely have a simple impression of the following numbers.
The Caspian Sea, the world's largest inland saltwater lake, has a total water storage capacity of only 76 trillion cubic meters, and Lake Baikal has a total water storage capacity of 23.6 trillion cubic meters.
Now you have an idea! You can imagine how whimsical the second master is!
During his trip to the United States, he stole a total of 5 trillion cubic meters of water, which is not enough for even the bottom of the Tarim Basin! ~~~Hehe~~~
However, this trip is not in vain, at least this time he has stolen enough living materials and resources in Xinjiang for the next 10 years.
Although 5 trillion cubic meters of fresh water is not enough for the bottom of the Tarim Basin, it is enough for Xinjiang's early industrial and agricultural production.
"Alas! Better than nothing! ”
This thing sighed secretly!
"It seems that if you want to fill the Tarim Basin, you can only rely on Antarctica!"
Depend on! This thing hasn't died yet! ~~~
Regardless of the "Tarim Lake" that the two goods have in mind. At this time, Xinjiang has undergone earth-shaking changes, and with the investment of the Xinjiang Governor's Government at any cost, factories have sprung up and new cities are changing with each passing day.
The whole territory of Xinjiang has become a huge construction site, somewhat similar to China after the reform and opening up of later generations.
The rapid development of Xinjiang has filled the hearts of the builders involved with full pride! ~This is the factory I designed, this is the school I designed, and this is the new city I participated in building!
For a time, everyone took Xinjiang as their hometown and built a "sense of belonging" spontaneously!
Right! It's a sense of belonging, and that's important!
In later generations, many people who went out to work hard, why are they called [North Drift] [South Drift]? Because those cities don't give these immigrants any sense of "belonging".
Therefore, they will not overly love and support the governance and construction of the local government, they are just to live, and temporarily stay in these indifferent cities.
They are just passers-by, just bystanders, indifferent to what is happening around them, that is, they do not care and do not participate!
And Governor Zhang's Xinjiang is different! Any policy introduced by this goods has fully absorbed the lessons of later generations, and locals and outsiders are treated equally.
Nonsense! Are there still "locals" in Xinjiang? ~~~
Where does this still make the foreign population feel repulsed by being in a foreign land? Isn't that willing to play with his life to build his own home?
That's why Xinjiang is developing so rapidly today.
Due to the blockade of the whole Xinjiang by Governor Zhang.
It is difficult for outsiders to understand the earth-shaking changes in Xinjiang today.
Only when you arrive in Xinjiang can you realize how different Xinjiang is today!
The people here are obviously different from the people of the Central Plains~ They are full of smiling faces, and the eyes are not desperate "dead silence"! It is the yearning for a better new life in the future and the vitality and agility of "hope".
It's the kind of "I'm from Xinjiang, I'm proud!" "Ownership! Right! This is the spiritual outlook of the common people that he wants to see.
Only when the people have the consciousness of "master" can a country and a nation have cohesion! Only then will they consciously safeguard all the interests of the country or the collective.
Only in this way can it be difficult for outsiders with bad intentions to get involved.
Only in this way can he, the Governor of Zhang, create an iron-blooded army that can fight well!
When Governor Zhang returned to the Ili Governor's Mansion, the officials of the Governor's Mansion were all stunned! Is this the Grand Duke?
"Overseer! What's wrong with you? ”
Zhang Muzhi was also surprised! In his impression, he Zhang Erye has always been a person who will not wronged himself. How did you lose weight like this when you went out this time?
"It's okay, the southern Xinjiang region is settled, right?"
The second master doesn't want to explain too much, what is there to explain? The more you explain, the more troublesome it becomes!
"It has been arranged according to your instructions, and compensation has been made for the relocation of the relocated people, and the mood of the relocated households is very stable at present."
Isn't that nonsense! He Zhang Erye was compensated according to the demolition standards of later generations, not only did the government build you a house, but also gave you a high amount of compensation. How can there be such a thing in this day and age? It has always been a forced demolition without a penny.
"How's the situation with the troops now?"
"The Third and Fourth Group Armies are basically fully staffed, with 20 divisions in each group army. It is just that the commander of this group army has not yet been decided, and the meaning of the Military Commission is waiting for you to decide. ”
They don't dare to decide who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops! After all, this is the army of the great warlord Zhang Dadudu.
There is no way, the officials of the Xinjiang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion still have the old thinking of the whole world, and they take it for granted that this is the army of the Metropolitan Governor, and the supreme commander should be decided by him.
It's not wrong to think so, but Zhang Dadu supervised him to establish the "National Defense Army", okay! The national interest should be the first consideration.
Alas! Let's change slowly! The second master couldn't help sighing.
Otherwise, it will be to dismantle him and make it into pieces, and he will not be busy! The reason why he, Second Master Zhang, still established such a sound government agency in the Governor's Office, is not to perform his duties and improve efficiency?
If he had to decide everything, then why would so many institutions be needed? It's better to learn from other warlords directly!
"Now they all have their own tasks, and the chief official will not be selected first. In addition, the Second Army was transferred to Mongolia and cooperated with the Third Army to exterminate the puppet Mongolian regime and its army. Resolutely eliminate the national separatists and the Russian army in Mongolia! Tell all commanders and fighters that China's territory is sacrosanct! ”
Governor Zhang was finally about to attack the outside world, at this time the Chinese government was in chaos, and Tsarist Russia was defeated by the German-Austrian army in the European war. At this time, it is time to regain the lost ground.
"The Russian side will not rest on its laurels."
Zhang Muzhi said worriedly.
No matter how good he is, he is a soldier of the old era. This is a national war! Where can he calm down? He doesn't have a source of information about the future generations of Governor Zhang!
If the second master knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely scoff!
What national war? At best, it's just a bandit-style local war that takes advantage of your illness to kill you! Can Tsarist Russia afford another national war now?
"Brother Makino! You don't have to worry! This is only a local war to regain lost territory, and it has not yet risen to the level of a national war. Also, don't worry about the attitude of the central government and Russia. Since the death of the president, the central government has lost its government functions and has become a mess. And Tsarist Russia has already lost half of its forces in the European theater, and they are now too busy to take care of themselves. So now is the time for us to reclaim the land! ”
Governor Zhang took out the information known to later generations and comforted this eldest brother who had always firmly supported him. He knew that Tsarist Russia was now at the end of its power, and later generations recorded:
In May 1915, the German-Austrian forces launched a full-scale attack on Russia. The Russian army lost half of its troops, and the anti-war sentiment of the soldiers was high.
Since Russia was a serf system under the rule of the tsars at this time, it could not withstand a protracted war. The domestic economy collapsed. Factories are closing, unemployment is rising, prices are rising, and currencies are depreciating.
The inaction of the ruling class in Tsarist Russia led to inadequate munitions and war-weariness among the soldiers. The intensification of internal struggles in Tsarist Russia led to the complete loss of government functions.
And this year, this anarchy in Tsarist Russia reached its peak. The armies at the front fled in droves, and the economic system in the rear has been basically paralyzed. Next year will be even worse, because the revolution of 1917 is coming~~~
Therefore, he Zhang Dadu thinks that now is the best time. Now the eyes of the world are all in Europe, and China and Russia are all in a state of anarchy! It was the best time for his "loach" to fish in troubled waters.
"Command:
(1) The 2nd and 3rd armies, after the extermination of the puppet regime in Outer Mongolia, do not stop, continue to advance in the direction of Lake Baikal, and establish a permanent defensive line on the spot from the old national border.
(2) Order the First Army to draw 5 divisions and advance out of the Ili Valley in the direction of Almaty. The task is to destroy the living forces of the Kazakh cavalry. After the capture of Almaty, the advance was halted and the defense was put on the spot. ”
"Yes! ~~~”
When Zhang Muyi heard the military order, he immediately stood up and stood upright.
Governor Zhang Dadu was a bit hasty in dispatching troops at this time, Xinjiang is in a period of rapid development, and all walks of life are in the initial stage. To put it bluntly, he is indeed not ready now.
However, now is the best time to "steal a bite" and cause the existing de facto occupation, even if Tsarist Russia or later the Soviet Union turns over the old accounts, then there will be a ~~~~~~ of ridicule
Looking through the history of the world, have you seen a precedent that caused the land to be occupied by the fact and returned to it? What's more, he Zhang Dadu is to regain the old territory of China before!
At this point, the first cross-border war of the Xinjiang National Defense Force began~~~
