Maybe it's the appearance of Yang Yue, or maybe it's a coincidence, from the very beginning, Yang Yuanzhao has spared no effort to invest in agricultural science and technology, from the beginning of the popularization of chemical fertilizers, to the later organic fertilizers, all kinds of new fertilizers, etc., and then to the seeds, 6 years of cultivation of 18 generations to 20 generations, with the help of some concepts of genetics, plus some characteristics of hybridization, the speed of agricultural science and technology in Northwest China is very fast.

There is no miracle of cultivating a ton of grain in a season, similar to hybrid rice, but in the northwest control range, the yield per mu has also increased several times compared with before 1908, with China's huge farmland base, even if it is reduced by a large amount of ordinary land, it is still very considerable, at least to solve the problem of feeding hundreds of millions of people, and a large amount of grain will be used for export.

In addition to being used in the northwest itself, the agricultural section has also been exported to the outside world, the northwest has gone out very early, in South America, in Southeast Asia, has a huge planting area, suitable for the climate of those areas of the seeds, have also been put in the past, the harvest of grain, part of it, is used as a grain reserves, the other part, is processed into a variety of military food, the northwest exported to Germany of the military materials, to a large extent are military food, this is the fist product of the northwest.

These military rations, among China's excellent cooking methods, have become the soldiers' favorite rations, and the northwest military rations have also unceremoniously occupied the German military supplies, and the share has become larger and larger, and even led to the rise of other military supplies.

In the European theater, the two major blocs of the Entente and the Central Powers fought in the whole of Europe, and the front extended to almost the whole of Europe. Among them, Germany is lagging behind in the whole in general. But one of the biggest reasons for suppressing Britain and France is the stability of the rear.

With the support of the Northwest. For example, the Northwest sent a part of the agricultural reclamation companies to grow grain, so that Germany would not have no food production, and this is the case in history, Germany did not foresee that the war would be so cruel and so long, in the early days, it was a sign that most of the peasants and workers would enter the army, even in the beginning. Both agriculture and industry were under-employed, which had a direct impact on the war in Germany.

Later, although Germany adjusted and transferred back the necessary peasants and workers, the problems that arose from this have always existed, but Germany has only a few tens of millions of people, and if there is a certain bias in human resources, it is easy for all kinds of problems to arise, and in the end. At the end of the war, it was not completely solved, and by 1918, the food problem had become an important problem for Germany. 1918 year. Another sudden event became the straw that broke the camel's back, eventually. The war ended, and the First World War ended with the defeat of Germany.

In this day and age. Because of Yang Yuanzhao's foresight, he took advantage of the Baghdad Railway. The Northwest Construction Corps was sent out, and many large-scale projects in Germany were taken over, which looked inconspicuous, but made Germany's heritage stronger, and took over agriculture, so that Germany still has enough grain production under the premise of transferring a large number of agricultural population, and this alone is of great help to Germany.

In the planting base of the Northwest Academy of Agricultural Sciences, countless researchers in white clothes are working hard, and they are responsible for not traditional agriculture, but drought-resistant plants, mainly trees and shrubs.

From the end of 1913 to 1915, for two years, the Northwest will put the center on the transformation of the entire Northwest, and in two years, with the support of huge manpower and spare no effort, it will completely change the gradual deterioration of the environment in the Northwest and let him develop in a better direction.

Drought-resistant plants, directly from the desert area, first of all, to ensure vitality and enough seeds, these originally bitter plants, when entering the various planting bases in the northwest, it has been proved to be more suitable for growing in the desert, and some are even desert plants themselves.

What agricultural scientists in the northwest need to do is to carry out several generations of breeding under the impetus of science, and finally produce a large number of seedlings and some high-quality products, and control the desert and desert, which is a long-term process, not a year or two years, or even ten or eight years can be solved, for the northwest, what needs to be done is to fix the desert, at least not let him continue to develop, continue to deteriorate.

The environmental problem is a problem that cannot be changed, but to a certain extent, it can be reduced, and the project in the northwest, which has invested huge funds and countless workers, is being completed in batches and stages, and in this initial incident, it has not had a role, but the seeds and seedlings with hope have been planted in batches and seedlings, and will continue to play a role in the next 10, 20, or even a hundred years.

At the beginning, the survival rate was not high, even under the condition that these prisoners of war were guaranteed as much as possible, some sandstorms, sixty or seventy percent of the seedlings would die, really take root, and continue to change the desert environment.

The change of the environment is inevitably imperceptible, and a large number of changes in the environment of a region in a short period of time can easily cause local biological disasters. It is from a certain situation, in the desert, to grow plants, even if they are drought-resistant, it is difficult to stockpile, and nature's own survival of the fittest is perfectly expressed in this point.

An airplane flying over a vast desert, with a huge fuselage and beautiful curves, proved that he was a massive twin-engine heavy aircraft. It was very dangerous for an aircraft of this era to cross the desert. The variable climate of the desert, especially the sharp rise of cyclones in local areas, has a huge impact on flight safety.

It seems that in the calm desert, maybe in a short period of time, there will be an increase in the upward air flow and cyclone, sudden changes, if the pilot's level is not enough, can not react quickly, the plane is easily enveloped by the cyclone, in the use of speed and buoyancy to fly into the sky, heavier than the air, the loss of the original speed of the plane has only one result, that is, falling.

The Northwest has had a tradition of having airplanes for several years, and the huge Northwest can undertake the training of personnel, and in just a few years, a large number of senior pilots have also appeared, although the combat is not yet known, but the ability to react in complex situations is quite good.

Those who can be sent to the desert are senior pilots, which is also a helpless thing, in the absence of satellites, aircraft are the fastest and most comprehensive way of monitoring, especially for the huge desert. Fortunately, the deserts and deserts that were initially chosen to be governed are not super deserts like Tarim, the largest is only a few thousand square kilometers, in terms of length and width, it will not exceed 300 kilometers, as long as there are some nodes in a fixed place, it is enough to ensure comprehensive safety, at least to ensure timely rescue, so that the plane will not go missing.

This plane, mainly for aerial photography, on the one hand, to determine the planting area, will not deviate too much from the plan, and on the other hand, is for mapping and evaluation, to see the effect of the previous planting, as for the leakage, this is not to worry at all, in the desert, and located in the hinterland of China, these prisoners of war are obtained at a great financial cost, as far as the northwest now knows, before the war is completely over, these prisoners of war cannot leave China, tens of millions per month, Even hundreds of millions of dollars in wages are very important for Germany, which has reached the limit of mobilization in all respects and has used the primitive accumulation.

Once the war starts, money is really not money, a large amount of money, like flowing water, used up, into weapons, into an army, sent to the battlefield to fight, in the war stage, that is the pure money-burning stage, the larger the war, the larger the scale of the money-burning, this less than 4 months, Germany is deeply aware of the fact that the funds prepared for the war in the past, a large amount of consumption, although not completely absent, but to have an external fixed source, or one more.

Underneath the plane, dense crowds of people were working intensely, their clothes proving that they were prisoners of war, bought here by the Northwest to work.

John was a British soldier, once a captain officer of the 54th Division, among the officers sent to China, he belonged to a relatively high rank, there were not many colonel-level officers, and it was because of his prestige and organizational ability that he became the leader of this group of prisoners of war.

He was a Londoner, and when he was captured, Britain had not yet fully developed airships, but he also knew that it was hot air balloons and airships that conquered the sky, and suddenly the appearance of a huge, obviously artificially created airplane, really surprised everyone, but he was not surprised to see it at least a dozen times a day, although he was curious about what this huge monster was doing.

But at this moment, he didn't have the heart to care about this, not far from his side, there were a few pale figures, they were all young men who were already sick, one of them had a fever since last night, and was put here by the people next to him, looking at the body that was still digging tree pits, a person needs to dig about 25 tree pits every day, in this desert with thick yellow sand, it is not easy to dig well.

Looking at the swaying young man, John felt very unbearable, and after thinking twice, he left the tree planting team and walked not far away, a tent guarded by heavily armed soldiers, which was where the Northwest Overseer was located, not only the 500 people here, but also the more than 5,000 prisoners of war around him, all of whom he managed.
