… Endless grasslands. The creeks meandered in the sun. A few unknown birds bouncing around the river, dodging a pack of steppe wolves drinking water by the river, which is waist-deep in grass. A rough and raw taste.

This is the Dongmeng grassland, a good place for grazing, but because there are too many steppe wolves here, the scene of "wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep" is now unseen, on the contrary. Occasionally, human bones can be found in the grass, one of the remnants of centuries of war, the most recent of which was a year ago, when the Chinese National Defense Forces cavalry engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with Mongolian bandits on the grasslands. A bandit stronghold here was completely uprooted. The dead of the government army have been well received, and those Mongolian bandits who were killed by the government army will not be treated like that, "white bones are exposed in the wild" This is the ultimate destination of bandits, for thousands of years, to be a bandit is to have the consciousness of the wilderness of violent corpses, regardless of whether you are willing to fall or are cornered and forced to Liangshan.

The smoke of the battlefield has long since dissipated, the corpses of the bandits have long since become the dung of wild wolves, and the government troops have long since withdrawn. The natural world also seems to have regained a bit of its original breath.

But in a modern society, there is no real "primordial corner", and all corners will become the next target for conquest as long as people want to. Moreover, people's means of conquest have become more destructive with the development of the times, and the herdsmen who will never go past can be compared with the Eight Banners.

"Smack".

A crisp shot broke the silence near the creek, and with the sound of the gunshot, a steppe wolf fell to the ground with a wail. Half of the head was submerged in the river, and a bloody hole on it was spilled with blood, which soon stained the surface of the nearby river red.

Meanwhile. The other steppe wolves also fled into the green grass by the river and disappeared without a trace, and the unknown birds that had been bouncing around them were also frightened by the sudden gunfire and scattered, and the primeval breath of the grassland came to an end, and all that remained was the human desire to conquer.

The gunfire quickly faded over the empty grassland, and after a few seconds, silence returned to the river, but not long. The sound of horses' hooves broke the eerie silence.

A group of soldiers on horseback rode their horses and flew in, all carrying spears, heroic and proud.

The leader is the current president of the Republic of China, Zhao Bei, although he also carries a rifle in his hand, but the shot that hit the wolf just now was not fired by him, but his guard captain Qin Sihu fired the gun.

They rushed down from a small hill, condescending, not only could they see clearly, but when they rushed down the hillside, it was also called a thrill, Zhao Bei, who was used to sitting in a car, almost lost his horse's hooves and fell down, and after realizing that his riding skills had regressed a lot, Zhao Bei slowed down rationally. So, he was the last high-ranking officer to rush to the wolf's corpse.

By the time Zhao Bei arrived, Qin Sihu had already lifted the killed steppe wolf upside down and teased it to the senior officers around him, with a somewhat smug expression, completely forgetting that half of the credit for his ability to accurately hit a wolf's head from hundreds of meters away was due to his sniper rifle.

Although the professional sniper rifle has been made by the German technicians of the Hanyang Arsenal last year, because of the production problem of that kind of optical scope, this professional sniper rifle has always been a sought-after weapon, and it is basically in a semi-secret state, so even if Qin Sihu is the president's guard captain, he has not been able to use this sniper rifle for live shooting, today he is the first time to shoot with this sniper rifle, this hapless steppe wolf is not his first, trophy.

"Four Tigers, don't show off. If you call Tian Jinfu over, he can overturn this wolf with Hanyang, and in terms of marksmanship, you are a lot worse than him. It's a pity that Tian Jinfu is not here now, otherwise, if he sees your current virtue, he will have to give you a few popping chestnuts.

Seeing Qin Sihu's smug expression, Zhao Bei unceremoniously counted a few words, which made Qin Sihu a little depressed. Sticking out his tongue, he threw the wolf to one of the guards and told him to go and fix it.

"Everyone, I see that the scenery here is good, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, let's eat our lunch here, the wolf should be a walking meal, I haven't eaten wolf meat yet, it must be different from dog meat."

Zhao Bei gave an order. Everyone echoed in unison, and immediately cleared a vacant lot by the river, set up camp, and the cooks also quickly set up bonfires, brush pots and make meals, as for the communication camp and chamber that followed the president. He also immediately removed the radio station from the plug-in truck and set up the antenna, which was more than 10 meters high, so as to facilitate contact with the base camp dozens of miles away at any time.

The base camp is located in Xinmin Mansion, and here, it is the northwest direction of Xinmin Mansion, in the jurisdiction, it belongs to the front banner of the left wing of Horqin, in the former Qing Dynasty, the pasture of Prince Horqin is here, and the water and grass here are abundant. But since the Russo-Japanese War, the steppe horse bandits are rampant, and the herdsmen dare not come, and now, it has been requisitioned by the central government of the Republic of China as a "reclamation area." "And the bandits on the grassland have also been cleared out, and all that remains is to wait for those immigrants to come.

This is a pastoral area. It is said that it is not suitable for farming, but considering that the front banner of the left wing of Horqin is the flank of the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, which is very close to the railway, and the Beijing-Shenyang Railway is the former Beijing-Feng Railway, which communicates Beijing and Shenyang, so this security work is particularly important, and immigration here is probably the cheapest and most reliable means to establish a security zone, so in the end, the center still approved the plan to emigrate here.

Actually, back in the year. The Manchu court had already begun to implement the "real border of immigration." Nence, one direction is Jilin, Heilongjiang, and the other. The direction is this. Douyuan, the northern frontier that has been closed for more than 200 years has become a hot spot for "breaking through the eastern part of the Guan", but compared with the black ten places of Heilongjiang and Jilin, the attraction of the Mongolian steppe is much worse, at present, that is, there are more immigrants in the Sino-Mongolian Hetao area near the Yellow River, and Dongmeng and Ximeng have been uncultivated virgin land because of the natural conditions and the rampant Mongolian bandits.

But now it's different. As an important part of Zhaobei's "Northeast Strategic Offensive Strategy," the resettlement and reclamation plan of the Dongmeng grassland has been greatly accelerated, and compared with the previous Qing Dynasty, there was no plan for the resettlement and reclamation action. The immigration colonization operation presided over by Zhao Bei is much more organized, for example, all the immigrants in the Guannai pack up before leaving the Guanbei. They have been strictly incorporated into the armor. Ten households and one guarantee, ten guarantees and one Jia, ten Jia and one tun; In Shitun and 1 district, this is called "paramilitary formation" The immigrants will not only be equipped with agricultural tools provided by the government, but also equipped with single rifles also equipped by the government. "It is currently being rolled out in all the border provinces.

It is not enough to "support the people", but also to popularize culture. In the resettlement areas, a five-year state primary school will be established, which is also an integral part of the five-year compulsory education currently being implemented by the central government. As for the teaching staff, it mainly depends on the dedication of the newly established normal schools and some progressive youth.

The country is in ruins. There are many places that need to be dedicated, and this immigration reclamation work is just one of the many urgent tasks, and Zhao Bei, as the head of this country, guides the overall situation strategically, and he doesn't need to bother with the details of the work, he has his own hands to do it, he only needs to point out the direction of progress, which is also the way of the king.

Come to this steppe today. The day before yesterday he had ended his talks with the Russian diplomatic envoy, and yesterday he went south from Harbin, preparing to return to Beijing along the Beijing-Shenyang Railway. It's just that Cui Yi is inconvenient to ride a horse for the past two days, so she can't come with Zhao Bei. Otherwise, the scenery on this grassland will add a lot of color.

All the way from Xinminfu. The harvest of these amateur hunters was more satisfying, the steppe wolf was just a more eye-catching prey, and everyone preferred to eat hare meat compared to wolf meat, so when lunch was halfway through, the steppe wolf was still basically intact.

As a person who doesn't pay much attention to enjoyment, Zhao Bei's lunch is equally simple, a few pieces of pot helmet cake and a few pieces of animal meat that can't taste any nourishment, and he doesn't forget to put a map in front of him, while eating, while studying this strategic issue.

The few senior officers in the chamber who worked on strategic issues with Mr. President were basically the squire. And only they can best grasp the president's mind.

"The geographical location of this reclamation area is good, close to the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, to the north is Heilongjiang, to the west is Inner Mongolia" southeast of the reclamation. It is Liaoning, and if the construction of the reclamation area is completed within two years, then the problem of grain self-sufficiency in the northwest of Liaoning will be basically solved. Even if the Japanese Navy cuts off the Beijing-Shenqin-Qin Road from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, the troops in Liaoning can still rely on the reclamation area to stock up on grain for a period of time, but the fundamental solution is to build a branch railway, bypass the Jinxi Corridor area from the Rehe area, and go around the Inner Mongolia grassland to Shenyang, so that unless the Japanese Sixth Army penetrates deep into Inner Mongolia, our army's logistics will be as stable as a rock and indestructible. ”

Zhao Bei said as he picked up a pencil and drew on the map.

"Of course, we don't have to build this railway ourselves, let's build it together with the American consortium, although the American Minister Steder has some copper smell, but we must admit that this American is indispensable to us, and he is there. The American consortium is very generous, as long as we get closer to the Americans, then in the future war, the Americans will also need to support our position, as for the Russians, the benefits for them at present are enough, they will not open their mouths again in a short time, take advantage of this calm time, let's take care of the domestic affairs, the enemy that should be eliminated is resolutely eliminated, the united forces continue to unite, and the "four industrial exhibition plans" must be guaranteed. Only after industrialization can we have the confidence to talk about the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the country. ”

The president holds a pot of helmet cakes. Sitting on an ammunition box impassioned, everyone is also fascinated, although the staff in the chamber are not necessarily professional soldiers, but it must be admitted that in such an era of national peril, every Chinese must make contributions to the motherland.

Just when the president was pointing out the country, Yang Du, the secretary general of the chamberlain, hurriedly walked over with a telegram and handed the telegram to Mr. President without saying a word.

"Oh? Someone in Congress who wants to make a fuss? ”

Zhao Bei looked at the contents of the telegram, although he was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure and stuffed the pot of helmet cakes into his mouth. He put down the telegram, patted the crumbs on his hands, and then gave it down

"Our vacation is over, after lunch, we immediately rushed back to Xinmin Mansion, and returned to Beijing to suppress the situation. Now the tigers are not in the mountains, the monkeys in the mountains have jumped out, they want to turn the sky upside down, but we can't let them get their wish, this day is still the day of the United Front, this Congress is still the Congress of the United Front
