Chapter 197: A New Project

In mid-November 1935, Liu Xiang sent a telegram to the whole country, in order to Jingsui as soon as possible, at the invitation of Ma Jiajun, he ordered the Sichuan Army to be stationed in southern Gansu, and it was General Deng Xihou who led the team.

Soon Lao Chiang telegraphed the whole country in Nanjing, claiming that the golden decade of the Republic of China was a decade of war, and in order to quell the war, he suggested that the warring parties in Shaanxi and Gansu should immediately stop military operations so as to rest with the people, and then the Red Army immediately telegraphed the whole country, and they were willing to accept the call for an armistice.

In order to show the sincerity of the armistice, the Red Army gave up a large number of cities and towns, and let the Red Army in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas gather near Yan'an, but strangely, the Ma Jiajun and Zhang Yang allied forces did not make any statements, and the offensive momentum was not fierce, and it is said that a secret agreement had been reached with the Red Army.

Therefore, Jiang Weizuo was furious in Nanjing, and took a plane to Xi'an to supervise the war, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng kept silent about the war, and only told Lao Jiang how big their losses were, and they should be given more military pay and firearms.

If they want to go to war, let them make their own timetable, and if they want to get food, grass, and ordnance, they have to make a military order for the Nanjing Military Commission, and if they want to make peace, then they should divide their spheres of influence according to the current armistice line, and no further wars will be allowed within three to five years.

Zhang Yang and the others shrugged their heads, and didn't know how to speak for a while, making it more difficult for them to deal with the Red Army, Lao Jiang sighed, and had to give them another three months to think about it, if it still didn't work, they had to let the Central Army deal with the Red Army, as if they had forgotten the previous armistice appeal.

Seeing that Lao Jiang was so good at talking, Zhang Yang and the others immediately resurrected on the spot, and after getting the promise of money, food and ordnance, they immediately came up with a new offensive plan.

Fearing that these warlords would not do their best and convey his message to all departments, those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who flee and waver will be killed.

At the end of November, when the cavalry of the Majia army along the Great Wall, the surprise attack on Wuqi Town as a symbol, the second Shaanxi-Gansu War officially broke out, it is also interesting to say, on this day the Fucheng railway just happened to be repaired, Fucheng, Maozhou City and Sichuan West County and other places celebrated in the city, and the scheduled oil was just transported to Fucheng.

At the beginning of December, Yin Changheng's old-timers officially returned to the rivers and lakes, and was appointed by Liu Xiang as the general adviser of the Sichuan Railway, specifically responsible for the construction of the railway from Chengdu to Chongqing.

Fucheng is located at the edge of the Sichuan Basin, it is a typical hilly area, from Fucheng to the city is good to say, the design mileage is more than 120 kilometers, it is the area of the transition from hills to the plain, there are densely populated towns along the way, the engineering conditions are quite good, as long as the construction is not a big problem according to the drawings.

However, from Fucheng to Guangyuan is troublesome, the mileage on the drawings is about 170 kilometers, along the way are some steep and rugged hills, since ancient times are natural danger places, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei defended the Jianmen Pass, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops could not be attacked for a long time, Deng Ai smuggled Yinping to destroy the Shu Kingdom, etc., are all around this place and unfold, to build the railway between them, the difficulty can be imagined.

The reason why Liu Yun dared to fire on the third line is because there are new talents to invest, one is Ma Xingchi of Anchang Town, when the railway in Fucheng is repaired, his Tongda transportation company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and he actively comes to invest in a little solicitation, this person is very familiar with the surrounding environment of Fucheng, and has been engaged in the transportation industry for a long time, and is the ideal road repair talent, and he is responsible for the railway to Guangyuan.

The second is a German-American, Ben Erix, about forty years old, who has been engaged in railroad engineering all the year round, but not in the United States, but in West Africa, because of poor management, the railway company has gone bankrupt, and he came to China with a little brother, and it is said that he is still a distant cousin of Falkenhausen, who happened to be under the command of Liu Yun, and he will be responsible for building the railway to the city.

In addition, the highway from Maozhou City to Chengdu will be responsible for Pang Xuezhong, he doesn't want to be the magistrate of Dajinchuan County, Liu Yun takes into account the harshness of the plateau climate, and the size of Jinchuan is also regular, it doesn't matter if this guy goes or not, so building a road is his best choice, and he can still lead Dajinchuan County.

However, the highway in Liu Yun's eyes is not a highway in the Republic of China, but a high-level highway in the 21st century, which does not consider the cost at all, only considers the driving comfort, and after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, the problem of temporary take-off and landing of fighters, so it can be said to be the Republic of China version of the expressway.

As for Liu Yun himself, he will be responsible for the electrification of the western Sichuan Railway, first, along the railway line, the construction of high-voltage transmission corridors, secondly, the steam locomotive, changed to electric locomotives, and finally the popularization of electric light telephones, air defense early warning facilities, and passive air defense radar stations.

Air defense radar technology is not the alien technology of Zhizhi, but Ben Erix's meeting gift, to be exact, from a laboratory in the United States, Commander Liu did not treat him badly, he issued an HSBC cashier's check, the amount of gold is two tons, and the qualifications and projects for railway construction.

Liu Yunke is a real person, after getting the radar data, he immediately asked the ant robot to make it, personally tested the radar performance, and continuously improved through the simulation of the intelligent brain, in just a few days, the radar technology has made a breakthrough, the external body size has become smaller, and the internal detection distance has increased.

Originally, according to Liu Yun's idea, these radars would be placed in key locations such as large airports, along railway lines, or in Chengdu, Fucheng, and western Sichuan County.

Fortunately, the detection distance of the radar is 120 kilometers, that is, the entire Sichuan sky, according to the direction and coordinates into a grid, all installed early warning radar, only a dozen, and then one by one with a garrison, it is less than 2,000 people, but to obtain the strategic advantage of air early warning, at the same time, in the area covered, the airport can get the instant flight situation, will increase the safety of the flight.

When the reply agreed to the construction, the three major construction projects started at the same time, the general consultant Yin Changheng was even more careful, and immediately allocated charity funds from all over the country, although the amount of funds was not much, only hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, but Liu Yun and the road construction workers warmed their hearts, and their enthusiasm for construction was even higher.

When Liu Yun got the funds for road repair, he also paid a little attention to Yin Changheng, this old-timer is a powerful person, not only incorporated the road repair support groups from all over the country, but also relied on the old and sold the old, and held Liu Xiang's advisory group every day to help him design and build the Chengdu Railway Station, and all the basic work.

Yin Lao is so old and strong, Liu Yun also sighed, and then thought of Yin Qinlan, who is really a tiger girl, although everyone is embarrassed to each other in the matter of marriage, but the Yin family did not have nothing to do, but tried their best to cooperate in many things, what a family style and character.

In addition to the construction of three roads and electrical renovation, four large-scale projects, but also to add the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant and the arsenal, for a while, the entire western Sichuan became a large construction site, the Central Daily, the declaration and Ta Kung Pao, etc., well-known newspapers rushed to report, even overwhelmed the Shaanxi and Gansu war.

With so many construction projects, Liu Yun immediately inspected the three major cement plants, which were called DFI Cement Plant, United Cement Plant and West Sichuan Cement Plant.

These cement plants have just been put into operation, there are not many employees, the living conditions are also very poor, and the electrification has not been realized, so it is not possible to achieve the expected results, the total daily output of the three plants, is about 100 tons, is one-tenth of the design output, cement has become the bottleneck of various engineering construction.

After contacting Li Jiayu and Falkenhausen, he immediately merged the three cement factories to form the West Sichuan Cement Group, intending to concentrate superior forces to attack one, and then sum up the experience to expand the recruitment of manpower, and then spread out in an all-round way.

After some rectification and investigation, Liu Yun found that there is no big problem with the manufacturing process of the cement plant, and the reasons for the current inefficiency are generally two, one is the lack of production experience of workers, and the other is the lack of fuel, which can be replaced with electricity, so power transmission has become the key.

Liu Yun doesn't know much about how to transmit electricity remotely, but after all, he has been in the 21st century, and he has seen a transmission tower dozens of meters high.

The annual output of the West Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant has exceeded 50,000 tons, and if you add the help of ant robots, it is no problem to double the output, and the amount of electricity on the transmission tower is not a big problem, and every ten kilometers or so, there is a train marshalling station, which is just integrated with all kinds of transformer stations.

In order to get the remote power transmission as soon as possible, Liu Yun took the ant robot, personally starting from Sichuan West County, all the way to repair the transmission tower and transformer station, even if the alien technology is powerful, it took more than 20 days to repair to Maozhou City, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the cement plant can not use electricity, but let the three towns of Maozhou enter the electric age, it is no problem, okay, let everyone have a good year.

The arms deal with Liu Wenhui has fortunately been completed, and Liu Yun is not short of the ocean, coping with the expenses of tens of thousands of people, and there is no problem for the time being, but fortunately, the Sichuan army has placed an arms order, and there is no shortage of money in the future, and the Fucheng Railway has been opened, and it can also make a little money from the operation.

The New Year is the New Year, the projects are not relaxed, basically the replacement of people do not change the machine, continue to take turns, close to home for three days of vacation, far from home for seven days, to minimize the negative impact of the New Year, for those who voluntarily adhere to the line of fire, it will be automatically made up during the Spring Festival holiday.

There was still one day before the New Year of 1936, Liu Yun received several good news, first from the Falkenhausen telegram, the German agricultural and aircraft advisory group, and finally arrived in Wuhan, about 100 people, more than 30 tons of various materials and equipment, let Liu Yun drive the plane to greet him, and reminded him that these experts are very good, if the sincerity is not enough, they will return to Germany en masse.

The second is an official letter and telegram sent by Liu Xiang, saying that Bai Chongxi from Guangxi, Lu Han from Yunnan, and Ma Jifang from the Ma family will visit Western Sichuan County together, and they are currently staying in the city to rest, and will arrive in Maozhou City within three to five days.
