"International lines of traffic?"

Although I have never heard of this term, as the name suggests, it is the channel of contact between China and foreign countries, as well as the transportation channel of strategic materials, and I am only a little puzzled, "Don't we have the Yangtze River, Guangzhou, Xinjiang and Mongolia."

There are indeed many people like Zhe Wenhe who are blindly optimistic and take it for granted in China.

They seem to have divided into "quick victory theory", "quick defeat theory" and "foreign aid theory", etc., the three major schools, especially on the eve of the all-out war of resistance, whether in Yan'an or Nanjing, all have a lot of loyal believers.

Believers in the "quick victory theory" believe that "China is big and weak, and Japan is small and strong", even if the Chinese soldiers and civilians are all tofu scum, they can support the Japanese devils who eat dogs. Therefore, if there is no war, once the war starts, the devil will inevitably be defeated by 40,000 Chinese compatriots, and there is no need to worry too much about it at all.

On the contrary, the believers of the "quick defeat theory" believe that China will be defeated. Because since 1840, throughout all the foreign wars in China, there has never been a victory, so the big war, defeat is inevitable, only by making peace with the Japanese devils as soon as possible, can the great national crisis be avoided.

The believers of the "foreign aid theory" are slightly different. They believe that no matter how strong Japan is, it will not be as strong as France, Britain, the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United States, and that as long as any of these five great powers declare war on Japan, the Japanese devils will have to exterminate the country and the species, so winning foreign aid is the only way out for China.

Therefore, before the "77 Incident", many Chinese people were blindly optimistic about the prospects of the War of Resistance Against Japan, resulting in them not having any psychological preparation for how to prevent the all-out attack of the devils, and even imagined that if they blew nonsense, the Japanese devils would have to go back to Japan.

Liu Yun smiled bitterly, but had to explain a little about the international traffic line.

"The Yangtze River is a natural water transport channel, and it can even penetrate deep into Chongqing and the city, but the Japanese devil is not a fool, and his offensive route must be against the Yangtze River, so the Yangtze River communication line has become a noose for us to ask for our lives."

"Guangzhou is said to be a free international passage, and it has always been advocated by the European and American powers. But when exactly is it open and when is it closed? It's not up to them to decide. Senior Brother Ochre, think about it, will Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Russia and other countries offend the Japanese Navy, the third in the world, because of just one Guangzhou? ”

Zhe Wenhe was silent for a while, he was hot-headed, not stupid, what Liu Yun said was true or false, it was already clear at a glance.

However, this guy still has high hopes for Mongolia and Xinjiang.

Commander Liu sneered and directly knocked out his luck, "At present, there is no railway in Xinjiang at all, even if Soviet Russia wants to help us with supplies, then how can these materials be transported back?" Does it all depend on the official road that Zuo Zongtang cultivated back then? Thousands of kilometers of land transportation, even if you can get to Xi'an, there is not one in ten."

"As for Mongolia, it is even more ridiculous, there is a railway in Mongolia, but don't forget that there are thousands of kilometers of steppe areas between the Eurasian Railway and Yan'an or Xi'an, and if the Soviets have this spare time, it is better to send troops directly to Japan."

"It's just, will they really send troops?"

If it were a fanatical and romantic internationalist, he would definitely be sure that the Soviet Red Army would definitely send troops to Japan, but unfortunately Ochre Wen and his comrades had long passed that age stage, so naturally they would not run the train with their mouths full.

Zhen Wenhe asked with some difficulty, "Is our war of resistance in China really that difficult?" ”

Liu Yun didn't answer for the time being, but stood up, walked a few steps behind his back in the living room, thought clearly, and then slowly said a word.

"God has said, "Heaven saves only those who save themselves."

Ochre Wenhe was shocked in his heart, this sentence came from the Western "Bible", and now when I hear it again, I have a completely different feeling, yes, why should the European and American powers such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union help China, and between countries, there is a greater need for interests, and it is okay to declare war on Japan, but they need enough interests.

Therefore, looking back, Liu Yun's approach was the right way.

Looking at the development of western Sichuan in recent years, railways have spread all over Sichuan, steel mills, arsenals, aircraft factories and cement factories have also blossomed everywhere, and it is said that in terms of production capacity and quality, it has surpassed the largest military industrial complex in China - Hanyang Arsenal.

Zhen Wenhe carefully calculated, even if Beiping, Nanjing and Shanghai were all broken, even if Wuhan, Guangzhou and Xuzhou also fell, but Huaxia still has the big rear of Sichuan, and Huaxia can continue to resist to the end, only then did he discover Liu Yun's extraordinary.

Even a small ant has the possibility of turning the tide.

After thinking quietly for a while, Zhen Wenhe was already planning to help, but he was still a little puzzled, so he humbly asked for advice, "Brother Yicheng, brother, I have a little doubt, if it is for the international passage, why not simply build a railway from Lanzhou to Xinjiang, or to Yumen, the distance between each other is about the same, right?" ”

From the perspective of spatial distance, the two are indeed about the same, but with the addition of steel, the Lanxin Railway is completely incomparable.

Liu Yun cautiously pointed to the map, and let Zhen Wenhe take a closer look, it is the area of Daliang Mountain, especially Yuewang County, and Ningyuan Fudukou Town (Panzhihua), which is impressively marked as the "Iron and Steel Capital".

For Commander Liu's words, Zhen Wenhe didn't dare not believe it, but he didn't dare to believe it all, so he cautiously asked, "Is there really steel in these two places, I don't know how it compares with Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant?" ”

"Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant?"

Liu Yun sneered a little, it is really some local goods that have not seen the world, the steel plant with an annual output of more than 100,000 tons, has become a treasure, if it is not for the Hanyang Arsenal built early, famous, who knows who it is, so he pointed to Yuewang County and said, "This place alone is ten times that of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant."

"Ten times? How much is that? ”

Zhen Wenhe's eyes were a little straight, obedient, amazing, the annual output of steel is one million tons, pointing to the location of a big red circle drawn on the map, and asked with some trembling, "This is the ferry town of Ningyuan Mansion, once the construction is successful, how much is it?" ”

The ferry town of Ningyuan Mansion is the saying of the Republic of China era, and in another time and space, it is the well-known Panzhihua and its iron and steel factory.

Liu Yun closed his eyes and replied as if dreamily, "At that time, the annual output was more than 5 million tons of iron, 6 million tons of steel, and 20,000 tons of titanium."

"What, with an annual output of 10 million tons of steel, this is impossible, even Europe and the United States can't do it", Zhe Wen and this old man directly skipped 20,000 tons of titanium metal and stared at steel production.

Liu Yun didn't study metallurgy, where did he know the actual output, and he was questioned and bombarded by Zhe Wenhe, and he was also a little weak-hearted, so he had to answer vaguely, "This, probably, maybe, maybe, only six million tons, well, there is iron first and then steel, and the output of steel will not deceive people."

"Oh my mother, steel produces six million tons a year, woo woo woo", Zhe Wen and Yi sat on the ground, crying like a child.

Senior Brother Ochre is an early Whampoa student, he has never seen any ups and downs, for him, whether he believes in the Three People's Principles or believes in the Red Party, isn't it all about making China rich and strong, and he has been groping in the dark for more than ten years.

And now someone told him that now there is an opportunity, a chance to catch up with Japan, and he is really excited, but he didn't expect to meet the "bad guys".

This bad guy is Liu Yun, because this guy is too true.

Zhen Wenhe was really scared, he was afraid that it was an unreal dream, even if it was really a dream, he really didn't want to wake up now.

Commander Liu was also depressed, fortunately the second lady Yin Qinlan was not present, otherwise it would be too big, what Senior Brother Ochre said was a lie, he sat on the ground and didn't say anything, and cried like a tearful person, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Weizuo's famous words, "Mother, what kind of system, it's just a loss of power and humiliation of the country."

Liu Yun couldn't help but have a cold war, hey, I have to pull this guy up quickly, otherwise it will be spread to Lao Jiang, but something big will happen.

Before he could make a move, Zhen Wenhe stopped crying, grabbed Liu Shenbao's chest, and asked with red eyes, "You said, you lied to me, right?" ”

Commander Liu rolled his eyes, lie to you sister, what I said is decades later, of course it can't be done now, so I had to comfort with a smile, "Yes, I lied to you, we don't have the technical strength now, but I can try, for example, with an annual output of two million tons, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhen Wenhe couldn't help but tremble, and muttered a little, "The annual output of two million tons of steel is already half of Japan's current output, and if it is all steel, it has surpassed Japan."

Liu Yun was not so excited, pressed Senior Brother Ochre to the seat, and handed him a cup of tea.

Someone said with a wry smile, "Okay, these places are desolate and remote, and it takes more than 500 kilometers from the city and more than 300 kilometers from Kunming, and even if steel can be produced, it can't be transported."

"Railways, railways must be built".

Now Zhe Wenhe is possessed by the iron god, more radical than Dr. Liu, out of this guy's dedication and preference for the railway, he decided to change his career, he wants to be a railway worker.

Seeing the gushing Zhe Wenhe, Liu Yun was also a little scared, and hurriedly grabbed this guy and let him return to reality.

"Senior brother, don't be a railway worker first, let's think about ideas together, and when we solve the problem of hitting Liangshan, I will fly over immediately, and I will personally sit in Yuewang County and develop Yuewang Iron and Steel Plant."

"Yuewang Iron and Steel Plant?"

Zhen Wenhe suddenly became anxious, pulled Liu Yun, and asked eagerly, "What do you mean by this?" Didn't we say that we want to develop the steel plant in Ningyuan Fudukou, how can you say that it will change."

Liu Yun really regretted it, regretted sitting too close to this guy, uh-huh, hurriedly stood up quietly, and pulled Zhen Wenhe's iron arm away.

Then this guy asked rhetorically, "What kind of logic are you, Yuewang has an annual output of one million tons of steel, don't you want it?" Is there such a loser in the world? ”

"A million tons."

"Oh, I'm confused for a while, if the output of the two steel mills combined, it's three million tons of steel, right?" Zhe Wenhe is shrewd now, and the head of the account is the way.

Liu Yun didn't bother to explain to him, this guy is a madman, shrewd for a while, confused for a while, if he goes around again, even he himself will be confused, and hurriedly picked up the teacup and signaled Senior Brother Ochre to leave.

Zhen Wenhe also knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to leave with a smile, but before leaving, he asked for one thing again and again, and he must wait for him to contact Yan'an before arranging the next move, otherwise it would be too late to arrange the preparations on his side. Because of the trip to Liangshan, he had to go.

After Zhen Wenhe walked for a long time, Liu Yun came back to his senses.

Yin Qinlan, who was standing on the side at some point, was already laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, pointed at Commander Liu and said, "You, Senior Brother Ochre, are really a wonderful person, when he used to wear a military uniform, he looked so serious, but I didn't expect it to be such a person."

"Ahem, Qinlan, don't talk nonsense."

"Brother Wen He is the proud disciple of Jiang Weizuo, talking nonsense like you, once it reaches the ears of the principal, I am afraid we will all have to eat and walk around", Liu Yun repeatedly warned her, what happened just now, do not leak it, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

Yin Qinlan stuck out her tongue and hurriedly swore to the sky to promise to keep her mouth shut.

Then he immediately launched the "Transferring Flowers and Connecting Jade" magic skill, took out Kong Yuling's telegram again, and discussed with Commander Liu how to settle these doctors, because these doctors all have some church backgrounds, and she doesn't know what to do.
