Seeing that Commander Liu seemed unwilling to take over Gansu, Deng Xihou and others were a little anxious, especially Ma Hongbin wanted to slap himself a few times, if he had known that this was the case, he would have nothing to say about so many troubles, now the big money owner wants to retreat, how can this be done, by the way, isn't this guy short of fuel.

Haha, I finally know how to do it, Ma Hongbin then Zhizhu in his hand, and began to induce someone unhurriedly, "Yicheng Xian, we have nothing in Gansu, just no shortage of oil and coal, well, there seems to be no shortage of big gold mines, oops, it's just that the transportation is inconvenient, and it can't be transported."

What the? Petroleum. Commander Liu's eyes immediately straightened, he is not short of gold and coal, and oil is never too little, tanks, cars and airplanes, it seems that the consumption of fuel is not much, if the scale of thousands is formed, there are no hundreds of millions of tons of oil reserves, and his heart is always uneasy.

At this time, even Minister He and Deng Xihou knew someone's weakness, and they all said that they could also find oil and gold, that is, they needed railways and investment. Ma Hongbin immediately became popular, who dares to compare with him, Gansu's land area is four or five hundred thousand square kilometers, and there is no shortage of this resource.

Chairman Ma quickly recruited Ma Jifang and asked him to send in all kinds of information from Gansu Province, and then personally explained the mineral deposits and products to Commander Liu.

Gansu's theoretical oil reserves are 800 million tons. Suddenly made Liu Yun tremble, haha, now I don't have to worry about oil, by the way, where is the distribution, it is Hexi Yumen and Longdong Changqing, Yumen is easy to understand, the Yumen Pass by the Great Wall is right, what is the specific location, it actually exceeds Lanzhou.

The western Sichuan railway will be repaired through Lanzhou, this problem is a little annoying, starting from Guangyuan, the straight-line distance is also seven or eight hundred kilometers, and then the road has to be built to Yumen Pass, it is really troublesome. Well, look at Changqing, Longdong, well, it looks very close on the map, by the way, in the Qingyang area of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region.

Qingyang is also very close to Guangyuan, five or six hundred kilometers, so let's build this railway. Minister He was embarrassed to tell him that this section of the road was a bit troublesome, because Longshan was in the middle, and no one wanted to cross Liupan Mountain unless it was absolutely necessary. Commander Liu was stupid again, if he wanted to bypass Liupan Mountain, he would have to travel thousands of kilometers recently, and he had to borrow from Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to bypass near Xi'an.

The fragrant meat, just can't be seen, so that Liu Yun's heart is like a cat scratching, there are indeed no oil fields in Sichuan, and the few places are all small oil fields of about 10,000 tons, and it is not easy to transport them into western Sichuan from the outside, whether it is to take the Yangtze River waterway or take the Yunnan-Burma highway, it is more troublesome.

Commander Liu calculated in his heart, and had to admit that the development of Gansu's large oil fields was the most cost-effective deal. Because the labor in these years is worthless, and the land and minerals are in the inland of China, even if they lose some money, as long as the railway is repaired first, when the all-out war of resistance breaks out, Lao Jiang and other Nanjing dignitaries are afraid that they will immediately declare these resources as state-owned.

Of course, if Lao Jiang wants to rob other people's things, he won't compensate for anything, and his appearance is too ugly, so he is afraid that the world will talk about it. In this way, whether it is the Red Army or Ma Hongbin, they will all receive substantial compensation, and there will never be a strange thing that a first-class group army will not be able to get military salaries.

What's more, the current strength of the Red Army is much stronger than that of another time and space, and now that it has entered a period of peace ahead of schedule, the establishment of three divisions at the time of reorganization may not be enough. Of course, it is also a challenge to the Red Army itself, and the corresponding military expenditure is also large, if there is no strong support from the rear, logistics and weapons alone can make the Red Army unbearable, and it is reasonable to want to open the Yan'an Railway as soon as possible.

In fact, Liu Yun himself is also very helpless, if he wants to extend the western Sichuan railway network to Yumen in Hexi and Changqing in Longdong, he may not be able to do it by his own strength, even if he relies on Ma Hongbin and Deng Xihou, it is also a little unreliable, it seems that he has to think of other methods, such as looking for Nanjing's old Jiang and Kong Caishen.

Commander Liu's face is also thick enough and dark enough, while patting his chest to assure that he will build the West Sichuan Railway to Lanzhou and Hexi, so that the people of Gansu can live a good life, while being more like Liu Bei than Liu Bei, crying and making trouble, unwilling to take over Gansu, whoever lets him take over Gansu is harming him.

When they met such a clear Commander Liu, Deng Xihou and the others were speechless, and looked at each other for a while, who said that young people are easy to deceive, look at this king of western Sichuan, he is not very old, he actually knows that they are harming him, and he doesn't even want to be the provincial chairman, were they so sober when they met this matter.

Forget it, everyone also needs to make money in harmony, anyway, for the sake of oil and oil fields, this guy will also agree to invest in Gansu, Ma Hongbin and Minister He are also relieved. Because "name and instrument, do not fake hands on others", is a famous Chinese motto since ancient times, everyone knows that letting Liu Yun be the provincial chairman is just an expedient measure, and now such a sober concession is also a good thing for them.

Then the rest is the specific planning of the railway route, Deng Xihou and Ma Hongbin mean that it is directly from Guangyuan to Longnan, and then from Longnan to Tianshui, and then from Tianshui to Dingxi, and then from Dingxi to Lanzhou.

Chairman Ma Hongbin had made full preparations in advance, for example, the big map of the whole of Gansu was very problematic, and the lack of oil in western Sichuan had already spread all over the Ma family's army, and Ma Jifang's gang had used oil as a bargaining chip to tempt Liu Yun to make concessions on arms sales, not to mention that Chairman Ma was the third leader of the Ma family's coalition army, and his IQ and ability were leveraged.

Yumen Pass, seems to be poetic and picturesque, as early as the Tang Dynasty has been famous, passers-by know, "Qiang Di why complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass", it seems, as if it is on the edge of the Great Wall, in fact, it has gone deep into the west of Gansu, and just located in Lanzhou, Gansu, between Urumqi in Xinjiang, and the real distance from Lanzhou is 880 kilometers, not marked on the map, about the appearance of near Lanzhou.

Minister He is also an old Jianghu, he also came prepared, many things are seen through, but he will not deliberately say it, if he spoils Ma Hongbin's business, Ma Lao is not a vegetarian, he will definitely change his tricks to find the field, so he can only try to ensure that he does not lie and deceive others.

Deng Xihou is also an old fox, although he has a good impression of Liu Yun, but he wants to see the mind of this guy, if it is really worth investing, he naturally has a way to reverse it, if it is not worthy of the name, he should spend money to buy a lesson, not to mention that Liu Sanye is not the master who can't afford to pay, what does he have to worry about.

Someone resigned from the post of chairman of Gansu Province without hesitation, or let everyone look down on him, from their point of view, Li Shengde let Liu Yun be the chairman of Gansu, he simply looked at the wrong person, what is the construction of the great northwest, everyone is you lie to me and I lie to you, don't count on it in the short term.

Commander Liu is a very greedy person, although he wants the Yumen Oilfield, but the Changqing Oilfield wants more, his eyes are close to Tianshui, Baoji and Qingyang, so that Minister He is secretly happy in his heart, so he quietly drew on the map, it is from Guangyuan to take Baoji, and then from Baoji to Xi'an and Yan'an and other places.

Immediately Liu Yun and Ma Hongbin looked stupid, and couldn't help but glance at Minister He, I really want to ask this guy, who is it mixed with, is it superficially mixed with the Red Army, but in fact it is the work of the Northeast Army.

Isn't the Zhang Yang coalition army fighting the Red Army to the death? Even after the education of the "appeasement conference", each other no longer uses knives and guns, it doesn't seem to be good enough to wear the same pants, right? In case one day the Zhang Yang coalition army goes crazy again, and the railway line is stuck, and the huge Yan'an will become a place of death, it is really a taboo for soldiers.

Commander Liu glanced at Ma Hongbin, suddenly thought of a possibility, suddenly pointed at Minister He, and asked a little silently, "Red Army, is it already planning to form a coalition government in the northwest?" ”

"North-Western coalition government"? Ma Hongbin and Deng Xihou were dumbfounded, what kind of rice thing is this, why don't they know, but Minister He was a little surprised, looked at Liu Yun stupidly, and said nothing.

The Northwest Coalition Government actually existed in another time and space, but at the time of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang's Department, Yang Hucheng's Department, and the Red Army and other Northwest Armies were the core to form a pan-northwest coalition government, with the intention of confronting the Nanjing Nationalist Government and striving to lead the whole country to resist Japan.

However, in this time and space, due to the emergence of various variables, the strength of Lao Chiang and the Red Army has been greatly improved, and because of the convening of the "appeasement conference" in Lushan, the whole country has entered a period of peace half a year ahead of schedule, so it is impossible for major events such as the Long March of the Red Army and the Xi'an Incident to happen again.

However, in this historical time and space, there is still a turning point here, although the Zhang-Yang coalition army is entrenched in the Shaanxi area, but it is declining day by day, compared with the Red Army, it is thriving and growing stronger. Zhang Yang didn't want to be swallowed up by Lao Jiang, so he had to find another way, but if he wanted to take refuge in Yan Xishan and his ilk in Shanxi, it was better to take refuge in Lao Jiang in Nanjing, not to mention Xinjiang and Ma Jiajun, who had no future than themselves.

Therefore, taking advantage of the strength of the Zhang-Yang coalition army, when it still has a slight advantage, quickly find a big backer to take refuge, or work with poor buddies to keep warm, so the Red Army has become their first choice. Therefore, it is logical that the Zhang Yang coalition army wants to form a coalition government with the Red Army, and even try to serve the weak with the strong, and after annexing Ma Jiajun and Sheng Shicai, and then unify the entire northwest and divide the territory with the Nanjing Nationalist Government.

Liu Yun was also a little speechless, it was a great thing to divide the rear of the War of Resistance into the southwest and the northwest, but the formation of two divided governments as a result was not the blessing of the Chinese people.

Seeing the aggressive gaze of Deng Xihou and Ma Hongbin, Minister He had no choice but to reveal some truths, as early as the beginning of the Second Shaanxi-Gansu War, when the Zhang-Yang coalition army was defeated again and again due to the disadvantage of the division, they moved such thoughts, they did not want to fight with the Red Army, and they could not fight, so the three parties cooperated in a light and dark.

Ma Hongbin was angry in his heart, eager to bite Zhang Yang and the others, no wonder their Ma family army was defeated in successive battles, and the losses were extremely heavy, it turned out that the Zhang Yang coalition army had already made peace, so that they were a group of fools in front of them, fighting with the Red Army endlessly, it was really Hongguoguo's treachery, and there was really something wrong with this character.

Deng Xihou thought a little, stopped talking for a while, and drank tea by himself, anyway, he didn't participate in these wars, and he didn't have much interest in Zhang Yang and the others, as long as Liu Yun helped him build the railway and help him consolidate his dominance in the Longnan area, the rest was casual, but he was happy to have a leisure.

As for the Guangyuan Railway directly to Baoji, Liu Yun also hesitated, although the later generations are also routed like this, but there is a little bit of bad, not to mention the mountains and mountains along the way, but also just from the middle of Hanzhong and Longnan through the railway line, nearly 200 kilometers of railway line, did not pass through any large and medium-sized cities, too wasteful.

However, as far as the matter is concerned, Ma Hongbin is resolutely opposed to this kind of wiring, first, the control of the railway completely falls under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, and secondly, it is not conducive to the development of Ma Jiajun, and Deng Xihou's Longnan has also become a forgotten place. Seeing such fierce opposition from everyone, Minister He himself was a little hesitant.
