Gao Junshan promised Zhu Hanmei that as soon as all eight railways in the country were put into operation, a railway would be built through the Indian peninsula as soon as possible, connecting Yuzi Province and Donghu Province for the benefit of the people.

After talking to Zhu Hanmei, it was close to the departure time of the train, Zhu Hanmei's mother and son saluted and said goodbye to Gao Junshan, and after they got off the train, the train sounded the whistle and slowly drove out of Almaty Station.

On November 19, 1657, the train entered the Persian station of Bushehr, a terminus on the eastern shore of the Persian Gulf.

Gao Junshan and his entourage got off the train and directly transferred to the "Zheng He No. 1" battleship, Tian Qiliang and Hong Pengju, who received the order, were already waiting for Gao Junshan on the battleship, and they were ordered to accompany Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan arranged Liu Fangliang in the rest cabin next to him, and Tian Qiliang and Hong Pengju lived in the two rest cabins opposite.

There were no Marines to follow this voyage, so a lot of space was vacated in the back building, and Liu Fangliang's entourage was all arranged to live in the back building.

The battleship left the port of Bushehr at five o'clock in the afternoon and began its heading south to Bombay on the east coast of the Persian Gulf.

After dinner, Gao Junshan summoned Tian Qiliang and Hong Pengju in his luxurious rest cabin, these two admirals participated in the cross-sea operation against the Ottomans, and Gao Junshan transferred them to his side, first, to understand the specific process of the battle, and second, to keep these two by his side as his military staff officers.

After listening to the reports of Tian Qiliang and Hong Pengju, Gao Junshan asked: "How is the construction of the oil city progressing now?" ”

Tian Qiliang said: "Back to the mountain, the speed of urban construction is very fast, in a few months, the foundation of the oil city has been half laid, and now it is expanding the site while building houses. ”

Hong Peng raised his head and said: "Not only is the base half ready, but even the outline of the city wall can be seen." ”

Gao Junshan nodded with satisfaction and said, "The technology of urban construction in my country is quite mature, but the foundation for building a city in the desert must be solid!" ”

Tian Qiliang said: "Please trust our infrastructure engineers that the houses they build are guaranteed. ”

Gao Junshan is most concerned about the logistics and transportation of the oil city: "The oil city has increased by hundreds of thousands of people at once, can the logistics and transportation keep up?" ”

Tian Qiliang replied: "The logistics department has a strong transportation force, and before our army reached the oil city, they have already transported strategic materials there in a steady stream, and now their transportation team is still working day and night. ”

"Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, and the logistics work was done, half of the battle was won." Gao Junshan poured tea for half of the two generals and said.

Hong Peng said: "The materials of the oil city have been piled up, and we have built three garrison cities in Dong'an, Nan'an, and Bei'an to protect the safety of the oil city. Chief, can our army continue to march on Suez? ”

Gao Junshan said: "Not busy, not busy." Now is the perfect time for us to develop in the oil city, and the General Affairs Bureau reports that the Ottoman is now at war with Willis, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the Ottoman does not care about our side at all. ”

Tian Qiliang analyzed: "Our army is only occupying the oil city now, so that it will not endanger the Ottoman Constantinople, and they will not regard us as the main threat, once we march into Suez and approach their capital, they will definitely transfer heavy troops to fight us." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I also think so, so I ordered Cao Wenzhao to stop attacking the Ottomans, our first goal has been achieved, to occupy the oil city." Not only do we want to occupy this city, but we also want to make this city belong to China, how can we make it our Chinese territory? ”

"Immigration." Hongpeng said.

Gao Junshan stood up from the Taishi chair, he walked to the pull wire switch by the door, turned on the light, and the cabin lit up at once, he returned to the Taishi chair and sat down, and said: "In addition to immigration, we also want to build the oil city into a metropolis rich in Chinese civilization characteristics." Do you know why I changed Riyadh to Oil City? ”

"Because there's oil underneath the oil city." Hongpeng took the lead.

Gao Junshan said: "There is not only oil here, but also a lot of oil, there is a lot of oil, and we will not be able to use up the oil here for many lifetimes." Whoever grabs the resources here first will be developed. ”

Tian Qiliang asked: "The exploration team has already explored oil in the oil city, so much oil, we can't use it up, what is the use of us wanting so much oil?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Sell for money!" ”

"Can this also be sold for money?" Tian Qiliang and Hong Pengju didn't believe it.

Gao Junshan said: "Worthless now does not mean worthless in a hundred years, we are seizing resources for future generations." With the advent of the era of the internal combustion engine, oil is about to become black gold, and we have occupied this territory, and the people of the whole country have food and drink. ”

"Is this oil city so valuable?" The two were skeptical.

What Gao Junshan said is the truth, and the Saudi Arabians of later generations will make a lot of money from this place.

Gao Junshan didn't give them more explanations, but instead asked some questions about oil exploration, and the two were laymen about oil exploration, and they couldn't say anything, except that oil had been explored.

Qi Zhiguo was recommended by Gao Hongbing to Gao Junshan, he studied urban management and oil exploration, which met the conditions for serving as the mayor of an oil city, so Gao Junshan used him.

At the same time, his investigation report was also sent to Gao Junshan's table, this report was sent by the General Affairs Bureau, and the report clearly pointed out that Qi Zhiguo was an important member of the Iron and Blood Guardian Regiment, and advised Gao Junshan to use it carefully.

Gao Junshan knew that if his eldest son Gao Hongbing could succeed smoothly, the iron-blooded guard group he formed would play a positive role, and if Gao Junshan did not pass the throne to Gao Hongbing, his iron-blooded guard group would play an immeasurable destructive role in the future successor, which was also the last thing Gao Junshan wanted to see.

Gao Junshan had no intention of passing on the throne to his sons, his plan was for his grandchildren to take over, so this iron-blooded guard group was eventually to be eradicated.

Now, of course, Gao Junshan will not use the Iron Guard, and he also needs to use this organization.

Gao Junshan asked Tian Qiliang about the development of the three satellite cities around the oil city, these three cities were named by Cao Wenzhao according to the direction, Gao Junshan approved the name of Cao Wenzhao, these three cities called him a small town more accurately, and now it is built according to the scale of the town.

Gao Junshan, Tian and Hong were drinking tea and talking about the oil city, when suddenly the battleship sounded the alarm of encountering the enemy.
