Yang Fei, deputy chief of general staff of An Jiajun, stood in front of the map with a baton in his hand, and carefully explained the front-line war to An Yi, the Military Commission, and the generals of the three general departments:

"After eighteen days of continuous fighting, we have now made impressive progress on all fronts in Persia and India! Let's look at the Persian side first. As the Soviets abandoned their resistance, our troops went well. On the northern road of the northern front, on the 14th, the 2nd Tank Division of our 1st Tank Army occupied Barbol, and on the 15th, the 3rd Tank Division recaptured Amole...... By 6 p.m. on 26 July, that is, at 6 p.m. today, three tank divisions and two armored infantry divisions of the group army had smoothly advanced to the line between Rasht and Port Anzari in Gilan Province, and it was expected that they would be able to enter the Polish-Soviet border area by the end of the month.

"In the middle of the northern front, after the 1st and 2nd Armored Infantry Brigades of the Ye Cheng Cluster Guard Army followed the 1st Tank Army and entered the city of Surrey on the 13th, the Soviet army followed the armistice agreement and took the initiative to abandon the defense of the Alborz Mountains, and then the five armored infantry brigades advanced alternately, occupying the town of Zilab, a key pass north of the mountain pass on the 13th, and then occupied the three fortresses of Veresk, Firuzkukh, and Atesan on the 14th, 15th, and 16th, respectively, and occupied the city of Gamsar, which was connected by the Persian Trans-Railroad and the Caspian Railway, on the 18th. As rail transport has always been unimpeded, five tank brigades, two heavy tank brigades, one tank destroyer brigade, one self-propelled howitzer brigade and other multi-service composite units of the Cluster Guard Corps are being continuously moved forward, and the main force of the Guards is currently deployed from Valamin to Kawel, south of Tehran.

"On the southern route of the northern front, the Second Tank Army concentrated two armored infantry divisions, opened the Badigilan and Imam Goli passes north of Guchang on the 12th, and mobilized three more tank divisions, as well as an infantry division seconded from the Tangwen Eighth Army defending Krasnovsk, along the desert and hilly areas south of Mashhad, to tear through the Soviet defenses in the early morning of the 13th and capture Mozduran, Esmairabad, Chahak, and Tajiabad.

"With the Soviet high command connecting with the front line around the 14th, the troops of the northern front successfully captured the city of Guchang on the morning of the 15th, and on the evening of the 16th, the main force of the group army successfully occupied Mashhad. Subsequently, three tank divisions and two armored infantry divisions of the army group advanced westward along the railway line at full speed, occupying Neshapur on the 18th, Hokmabad on the 19th, and Khairabad on the 24th. ”

As the dense Persian place names came out of Yang Fei's mouth, everyone else had a headache except for the people from the General Staff. Many people have almost no intuitive impression of Persia in their minds, let alone the topography, if it were not for the miniature sand table in front of the map, it is estimated that their minds would have been a mess.

Yang Fei waited for everyone to digest the information, and then continued to introduce the battle situation:

"The northern road of the southern front was not turbulent, because the area west of Kokhsan was mostly valleys and plains along the rivers, and the Sixteenth Army was progressing smoothly, and had already advanced to the area of Faliman south of Mashhad thirteen days ago, and later, after receiving a notice from the headquarters that the Soviet army had abandoned the whole line, it interrupted the plan to go north to cooperate with the friendly forces to capture the city of Mashhad, and instead marched southward, occupying the city of Torbat on the 16th, stationed in Juymander on the 20th, and taking Feldaus on the 25th. The ministry is currently on its way to the city of Dahuk and is expected to arrive in the Kerman region of the Persian railway-run line early next month.

"The 17th Army in the middle of the southern front attacked Biljand on the 15th, then went all the way south, occupied Sahrabad on the 19th, captured Nekhbandan on the 21st, and yesterday joined forces with the troops of the Eighteenth Army in the Zahedan area, and the next step they will follow the main line of the Eurasian railway, all the way to the west, and in the early part of next month they will join the 16th Army in the Kerman area.

"The southern front is the most difficult battle, but it is the main point of operation that we are most concerned about, because whether it is the northern front or the southern front, except for some areas along the Caspian Sea coast, which will be assigned to South China, most of the places will be returned to the Persian government, and we will almost always be on the march except for a small number of armed police forces to occupy strategic points and transportation hubs. According to the agreement with the Persian government, this will be our land in the future, and we must firmly control this land from the beginning.

"As early as 12 August, the 18th Group, which was responsible for the attack on this road, occupied the city of Zahedan, an important transportation hub on the Eurasian Railway, and then the army group left behind the guard division, and the main force moved south at full speed, occupying the important town of Hash on the Salhad Plateau on the 17th, and the two towns of Bambor and Shahr in Iran on the 23rd, which are surrounded by vast deserts, Gobi and swamps, and the terrain is complex, making it difficult for the troops to move forward. So far, the troops are moving south over the mountains and mountains, and are expected to reach the port of Shah Bahar on the Arabian Sea coast by the middle of next month. ”

An Yi looked at the rugged mountains of southeastern Persia on the sand table, the desert and Gobi with thousands of miles of yellow sand, and the oases dotted with yellow stars, and couldn't help but shake his head:

"If it's not right next to Afghanistan and western India, I wouldn't want to take it over...... The land is so barren and the climate is particularly harsh, I have seen the introduction of the geological department, there are strong winds here for more than four months a year, due to the lack of clouds caused by a high degree of energy conversion, far from the coast in the summer temperature is very high, but the winter night temperature is surprisingly low, resulting in an annual difference of more than 40 degrees. Because the Bashagilde Mountains lie in the middle of the region, there will be considerable temperature differences between the north and south of the mountains, as well as at different altitudes, and certain grains and fruit trees will not grow on the higher or medium altitudes.

"The whole area, the lowland areas receive between 25 mm and 155 mm of rainfall a year, and the mountain tops receive more rainfall, but most of this rain comes in the form of torrential rains, which fall within a few days, and all of them are distributed between October and April, and the rock formations are mostly impermeable due to lava flows and metamorphism, so the effect of rainfall is generally quickly lost due to rapid runoff. Only a few places have large permeable rock formations, or lithic chips that may store water, and only in such places can agriculture and settlements develop, so agriculture is to a large extent like an oasis in the desert and the Gobi, which is developed in an extremely harsh environment.

"In the future, when we occupy this place, we must first build railways and roads, so that they can truly play the role of a bridgehead between Central Asia, the Persian Gulf, India, Burma and South China. In addition, in order to facilitate agricultural irrigation, it is necessary to build a large number of water storage reservoirs and water diversion projects, build water cellars in some places, use drip irrigation and other technologies to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, and at the same time plant alfalfa, rye grass, corn grass, imperial bamboo grass, sweet elephant grass and other high-quality pasture grass, and develop pig, goose, rabbit, sheep and other livestock and poultry breeding industries. We Chinese value land the most, and now this land adds up to less than 100,000 people, and if we Chinese reclaim and build it, it will not be long before it becomes a good place. ”

The generals smiled when they heard this.

According to the agreement reached with the Persian government, the future Baluchistan region will be completely owned by South China, the experts of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have already transferred the geographical data of Persia, and conducted a more scientific and systematic study.

There is reason to believe that under the control of the An Jiajun, once the military government is established, a large number of agricultural experts will definitely go to the field to make targeted suggestions and plans, and everything will develop in a good direction at that time.

Take the ongoing development of Central Asia as an example, there are a large number of deserts and Gobi in these places, which were all barren land in the past. However, since last year, under the guidance of agricultural experts, Nanhua has begun to demand land from the desert and the Gobi.

In this era, the Central Asian region can be called a typical vast and sparsely populated area, with a total of 6 million square kilometers of land in the two places, plus a large number of Han immigrants of less than 20 million people, and the destruction of the grassland and land is far less serious than that of later generations.

Unlike those arid deserts in later generations, most deserts and grassland areas in Central Asia are the same, as long as you choose to dig a few shovels in a depression, you can dig out groundwater, the water resources of this era are far more abundant than imagined, and the drought in later generations actually comes from the disorderly use of water resources and overload exploitation, which is the fundamental reason.

At present, the north-south water diversion project has been temporarily shelved, because in terms of finances, it will be an astronomical amount, which will seriously slow down the pace of arms expansion, after all, those prisoners are no longer enough to build railways and roads, let alone build large-scale water conservancy facilities. However, this people's heart project will definitely be built in the future, not to mention anything else, just to stimulate domestic demand, the future needs such a project, those real deserts lacking groundwater, into fertile land that can be continuously developed and utilized.

It is now the seventh month of the lunar calendar, after more than a year of construction, Central Asia and those desert periphery of different sizes with rich groundwater resources have been built into large collective farms, which are planted with corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops, under the sunshine, the leaves and stems are strong. If you walk through the fields of each farm and look at the smooth green scene, if you don't go to the edge of the farm and see the yellow desert background in the distance through the shelterbelt, you will definitely mistakenly think that you have entered an oasis or a plain area.

Central Asia, China, Afghanistan, and perhaps southern Persia and western India in the future are very large and have a lot of land that can be exploited. Therefore, Nanhua will never be suspicious of many immigrants, young and strong people who are good at absorbing knowledge, arranged to enter the factory, and those who are a little older and drag their families will be arranged to work in agriculture after literacy.

Nanhua has land, but it contains a large number of deserts and desertified grasslands, which are extremely harsh terrain and landforms, which seriously threaten the survival of cities and villages. After an on-the-spot investigation, experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences believe that according to the current natural conditions, if the planning and construction are done properly, many places can be used for agricultural planting. You must know that the sandy terrain is very beneficial to the regular shape of potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts and other crops, and these places have enough sunlight, crop photosynthesis is significant, and the yield is high, so it is completely possible to establish farms and grow crops in the desert.

Therefore, according to the opinions of agricultural experts, the South Sichuan Group has established a large number of farms along the edge of the desert in the form of company investment, which plays a role in controlling the desert while obtaining agricultural harvests. Because of the abundance of groundwater, these farms don't even need sprinkler equipment.

The usual practice is:

First, a section of the desert is carved out and planted with salix. Salix is extremely common, it can be seen everywhere in China, Central Asia, Sichuan and other places, and its propagation method is very simple, just take cuttings and pay attention to watering in the early stage, you can survive. It grows rapidly, the branches and leaves are dense, the root system is large, the sand fixation and soil retention force is very strong, drought resistance, wind and sand resistance, a certain salt and alkali resistance, cold and heat resistance, like moderate sand pressure, the more pressure the more vigorous, easy to reproduce, strong germination and tillering power, it can be said that it is the best choice for transforming the desert.

After the salix survives, poplars are planted on the periphery, which can be combined to prevent the invasion of quicksand and reduce the erosion of the farm land by windblown sand. Generally speaking, where there are no crops between farms, these salix and poplar trees are planted, or other shrubs that do not have a significant transpiration effect and are more able to absorb water.

Once you have these plants, you can start building your farm.

First of all, the sand dunes are bulldozed with a bulldozer, and then according to the salinity of the sandy land, they are neutralized with acidic gypsum powder or alkaline straw ash.

When the crops grow green shoots, sometimes they will be swept out of the ground by sandstorms overnight, so the farm workers must get up in the middle of the night, put the crops into the ridges again, and then cover them with sand, and wait until the root system is developed and climb into the soil, so they are no longer afraid of wind and sand, but at that time they are worried that the sand rolled up from the distant desert will cover the crops, and they must carefully remove the sand that covers the branches and leaves of the crops, and they must pay attention to frequent watering.

Finally, due to the low organic matter content of the soil in sandy land and the poor ability to retain water and fertilizer, potatoes are usually planted first, and after the potatoes are harvested, other crops such as corn can be planted to effectively maintain water and soil, and the soil will not be blown away when sandstorms come. Moreover, after the spring harvest of the following year, the corn stalks can be crushed and buried directly into the ground as green manure to increase the fertility of the sandy land. In this way, the vegetation cover is maintained, the sand is prevented, the soil organic matter is increased, the soil fertility is improved, and the farm continues to extend to the desert in the distance, and the sandy land of the earlier farms gradually becomes fertile land.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, but as long as someone organizes and provides a large number of machinery and equipment for production, and then links it to interests, everything is not a problem.

One acre of sandy land can produce at least 1,000 kilograms of potatoes, and a worker with his wife can take care of 20 acres of land, or 20,000 kilograms. Now one Chinese dollar can buy 20 kilograms of potatoes, and 20,000 kilograms is 1,000 Chinese yuan. The basic wage offered to the workers on the farm is 15 yuan, plus a minimum of 20 percent and a maximum of 50 percent, that is to say, it is conservatively estimated that the income of only planting potatoes in a year can be 300 yuan, which is even higher than the average monthly wage of 20 yuan for workers in South China.

People are profit-oriented, although the conditions are very difficult, but tens of thousands of farms, or have been established in the desert, these farms after a year of development, now become another grain depot in South China, these farms provide a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and other crops, because of the adoption of mechanized farming, at the same time, the income of farm workers, and the yield of farm crops is directly linked, so no one dares to slack off.

According to the plan, in the future, Nanhua will continue to ask for land in the desert, and the final goal is to completely eliminate the desert.

The generals whispered, the "buzzing" sound in the command center hall was endless, An Yi coughed in displeasure, and everyone quickly quieted down.

Yang Fei nodded gratefully at An Yi and continued to explain the war.

"In the Indian direction, our army is also progressing extremely smoothly. In the western region, the Xiangxi Group Army set out from Quetta on 9 August and followed the Eurasian Railway all the way to the west, the 1st Xiangxi Division arrived at Zaheedan on 15 August, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions marching south encountered the same difficulties as the 18th Group Army. Put the western part of Balochistan under our control!

"In the southwestern region, Li Jinlong personally led the army directly under the cluster and the Qianxi Group Army to the south along the Quetta-Karachi railway, and the Soviet army was invincible along the way, and the entire attack could be described as a march. So far, the army has successfully captured the entire territory of Sindh State, the port of Karachi, the largest port in western India, the town of Getty Bunder at the mouth of the Indus River, and the industrial and transportation hub of Hyderabad.

"On the eastern route, the four divisions of the Dian Army separated from the main force in Sukkur and went north alone into Punjab, making rapid progress along the way, and basically encountered little resistance. By 6 o'clock this afternoon, the Yunnan army had occupied all areas in the southern part of Punjab, and when the armed police force was stationed and the military management committee was established, it would move south to join the main force, and then the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan armies, together with the armies directly under the cluster, would attack the southwestern Rajasthan, Jijarat, and Mumbai regions of the subcontinent along the railway. ”

Yang Fei paused, and seeing that no one was asking, he continued:

"The Seventh Army under Liao Minlin, the Eighth Army under Sun Desheng, and the Ninth Army under Zhou Dingcheng, due to their distance from the Islamabad-Rawalpindi region, passed through the city on the 15th, 17th, and 18th, respectively, where a rare gass-filled massacre and plague had been confirmed.

"As a result of the massive use of chemical weapons by the Prosperous Generation, the deaths of millions of people who had taken refuge in the city, and the fact that a large number of bodies were not disposed of after death, coupled with the poor hygiene habits of the Indians, caused a plague of unprecedented scale in and around the city, killing thousands of people every day. Our warriors did not dare to enter the city, so they made a detour and stationed in the cities of Bertangot, Ludhiana, and Potinda, in the upper reaches of the Sutleje River. At present, the army is cooperating with the medical and health and biological and chemical forces to concentrate on the destruction of corpses, and it is simply impossible to continue to march eastward.

"In fact, the inhumane massacre, the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons, poor sanitary conditions, and the spread of plagues and viruses are the culprits behind the advance of our army. As of this afternoon, our medical and biological forces have found more than 120,000 bodies, almost all of which in the western part of India.

"According to the relevant information we have consulted, the total population of western India before the war was 29.87 million, but now, there are less than 3 million people in good health, and most of the remaining 5 million people are suffering from various diseases, in addition to millions of people who are missing, it is estimated that they have either fled or died in remote places, and we need to find out in time to avoid becoming a new source of pollution. It is expected that the northern region, which has more deaths than the west, will not be able to attack until at least October, when the weather is slightly cooler, while the southern front will not be able to attack because most of the area is the Gobi and the desert, and the virus and plague will not spread badly, so the time of action will be advanced accordingly, but the specific time cannot be determined! ”

An Yi saw that the participating generals frowned, their expressions were different, and they knew that everyone was worried about the soldiers in the epidemic area, so he thought about it and took the initiative to stand in front of the stage:

"Let me be happy to say that during the negotiations with the Soviets during this time, the Soviet Union basically recognized our ownership of Central Asia, southeastern Western Siberia, southern Eastern Siberia, including the area around Lake Belga and Chita Oblast, and promised to return all Amur, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin and Vladivostok in the Far East to our country. This can be said to be a great victory for our diplomatic work.

"As long as this treaty is finalized in the form of an intergovernmental exchange of letters, and our military strength is not greatly damaged in this world war, then we can justifiably recover the territory that our ancestors have lost for decades."

Deng Bin asked with some confusion: "Why don't you simply take the Ural Mountains as the boundary?" Stalin, like Hitler, was very good at turning the other cheek, and if the other side denies it and launches an attack on us in the future, we will have ample confidence in strengthening the border with the favorable terrain. If such a large border between Siberia and the Far East were to be left behind, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future! ”

An Yi patiently explained: "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not realistic. Now that the Urals and the central and western regions of Siberia are under the control of the Far Eastern Republics, where are our allies if we make such a claim? One of the bottom lines of our negotiations is that the Far Eastern republics are not involved, and we cannot default on our own! Moreover, the areas of sovereignty that we have proposed represent only a quarter of the total territory of Siberia and the Far East, which is acceptable to the Soviet Government.

"After the reunification of the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern Republics, even if there is no more than 3.5 million square kilometers of land in southern Siberia and the Far East, and more than 17 million square kilometers of territory, it will still be a world power, and its national sentiments will be acceptable.

"Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the treaty will enter into force only if the Republic of South China and the Soviet Union survive this world war and their sovereignty is not subverted. If either side loses, such a treaty would be of little significance. Therefore, in the final analysis, the final decision-making power is still on whether our military can shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by history and have the courage to pick up the heavy burden! ”

: The end of the year is approaching, there are always a lot of trivial things, and this chapter was interrupted five or six times, and the writing is really not smooth enough!

But the Son of Heaven has tried his best to code words, so he cheekily asks for recommendation tickets, subscriptions and *** support, thank you!
