The border friction in Northwest Russia is over, the war has stopped, although the Northwest Army has not completely retreated, the strategic fortress between China and Russia has not been completely completed, the army needs to be stationed here for a period of time, the Russian army has completely retreated, and then, at most two or three months later, the Northwest Army will also slowly retreat, leaving only about 2 defense divisions on the front line, which is different from the second-line troops of the field army, but it is stronger than the ordinary second-line troops, in the fixed protection, can play a considerable role.

The war is gone, the north has returned to peace, and a major construction for the opportunity after these two years has begun under the leadership of the northwest, and the Yangtze River Bridge is just one of them, leaving aside the bridge across the world's second longest river, in fact, the overall investment is not even one percent of the next one percent in the northwest, or even one percent.

From around 1910, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Mongolia, which was included in the system, has now recovered 1.5 million square kilometers of the so-called Outer Mongolia, and the territory eaten must be digested to be worthy of the soldiers who sacrificed for this territory.

The gold and copper mines, which were sneaky before, are now officially mined, and the gold mines are only the associated and a few high-quality mines. The focus is on copper mines. Industrialization in the Northwest, especially the military industry. It is simply inseparable from copper, especially the shells of bullets and shells. There is a huge difference between copper and iron, which was forced before, but now it has to be changed.

In addition to the military use, copper has an excellent table in many aspects such as electricity, energy, and foundry, and even copper can be called a kind of currency now. Outside of the northwest, there is a huge market for Tongyuan. Mongolia gold and copper mine more than 30 million tons of high-quality copper reserves, 1,200 tons of gold, this huge wealth, will in the future, play an incalculable role, gold as a hard currency, can be at any time, in any country to buy bulk items. As for copper, it is also a precious metal and has a wide range of uses for a long time. International copper prices are high.

Mongolia has more than that, iron ore, coal. Energy and other aspects are distributed in Mongolia. There are even a few sporadic gold mines, outside of the gold-copper mines. In the Baotou plan, the priority is to develop iron ore, the output of iron and steel, representing the foundation of a country, representing the war potential of a country, the most priority development at present is the heavy industry with the theme of iron and steel smelting.

Yang Yuanzhao's memory of several iron mines are also opened at the same time, the industrialization of the northwest, a single Baiyun Obo is not enough, TISCO is just a supplement, Mongolia wants to develop, these heavy industries with minerals as the core, of course, is the top priority, these steel output, in the future, will also become a machine, become a weapon, become a ship, a steady stream of more for Baotou, greater benefits.

The establishment of a large number of heavy industries is only a part of Mongolia's development, at the same time, the construction of a number of cities and towns is also continuing, Mongolia is an important part of the northwest, can not be so vast and sparsely populated, immigration and new town construction at the same time, only with enough people and cities combined, this piece of land, can really belong to China.

In the next 2-3 years, Mongolia will be filled with 20 million people, and 17 large cities with a population of more than 200,000 and 100 small towns of about 50,000 will be built, completely eliminating the possibility of Mongolia's independence. In this era, the entire Mongolian steppe, 1.5 million square kilometers of land on the number of people, the huge population poured in, directly diluted the local Mongolian people, which of course caused a backlash, but in this era, most of the land and grassland are in the hands of the Mongolian aristocracy, take out part of it to settle the people at the bottom, get the hearts of the people, and the cities belonging to the Han people are newly built, the grassland is also redivided, part of the city close to the city is changed into farmland and vegetable gardens, the rest occupy very little, and there will be no direct conflict.

In the whole of China, the construction of the railway three vertical and three horizontal, can be said to be a huge framework, the southeast coastal and plain area of the essence of the part, thoroughly connected into a whole, when the time comes, some major cities in the Central Plains, to other cities, you can take a convenient and fast train, the northwest train after several years of development, especially under the improvement of the steam engine, the speed has basically approached the maximum speed that the steam engine can reach, at the end of last year, the railway operation map was adjusted, The distance between trains has been shortened by 30%, and the speed has also increased by about 10 kilometers, don't underestimate this 10 kilometers, at the end of a day, it is equivalent to a train to run 240 kilometers more, which is almost a saving of three hours.

In the northwest, the most convenient and fastest way to travel, always is the train, although the highway is also a lot, some fast freight cars, can also reach a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, but compared with the high-horsepower high-speed train, the difference is huge, the northwest railway operation, in the gradual run-in, become harmonious, not only the safe mileage is a record, even if it is capacity, it is also a great increase every year, just a few years, there is a world of difference.

There is such a huge development in the outside of the territory, in the northwest, the development is even greater, the railway is a basic facility, in Baotou did not choose what vertical and horizontal division, basically are ring lines, with Baotou as the center, the first ring line is about 30 kilometers, has been extended to about 100-150 kilometers, there will be 3 rings, in the range of 150 kilometers in Baotou, densely covered with Baotou satellite cities, not only each satellite city is connected with Baotou by railway, and each other has formed a close ring line, This is just like the Beijing subway in later generations, with several straight lines connected to the outside of a complete ring line.

And in the next plan, the other four in the middle of the five key cities, Kulun, Suiyuan, Taiyuan, Xi'an will also form a ring line, according to the different cities, with 80-200 kilometers as a circle, the formation of five major urban dense belts, the railway network is also formed, with the five major urban belts as the core, at least 21 railways will be connected around these cities, and even Mongolia in the future, there will be 7 trunk lines and more than 20 ring lines through, when the time comes, it is not only convenient, The dense cobweb-like railways will make effective use of countless resources and logistics.

The project is planned to be completed in three years, when the time comes, to ensure that the entire northwest control area, more than 20,000 people in the city will pass the railway, the longest time from one place to another, no more than 28 hours, the farthest two or three thousand kilometers of places, to ensure that the arrival in more than one day, this is a huge improvement, can further strengthen the connection between cities, but also as much as possible to increase the integrity of the northwest.

In addition to the direct control of the area, the northwest will also be built to Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Ningxia and other trunk railways, temporarily is through two, the future with the northwest to their penetration and control, will build the corresponding network line and ring line, when the time comes, the Northwest railway network will become the busiest line after Europe, it is estimated that after 3 years, the cumulative mileage will reach about 300,000 kilometers, ranking second below the United States.

The railway is the first to determine, and then the highway, after the transportation is convenient, the city will be built at the same time, relying on a series of cities built with emphasis on industry and investment, to further consolidate the foundation of the northwest, the manufacturing industry in the northwest, in the next 2 years, will usher in a new blowout upgrade, which is mostly created by the development of Mongolia.

After several years of leapfrog development, the northwest has formed a set of methods for Yang Yuanzhao to point out the direction and follow-up, although there are certain drawbacks, but under Yang Yuanzhao's astonishing accuracy, there is no outbreak, and the northwest has maintained a high-speed and steady development.

After winning the war against Russia, the biggest change in the northwest is still in the economy and population, they once again ushered in a big climb, before, I felt that the northwest may enter the war, after all, Russia is a traditional power, unlike Japan, the greedy polar bear, has never suffered a loss.

Now, the powerful polar bear in front of the northwest, but swallowed the bitter fruit, retreated to the country, to lick the wounds, for the entire Chinese people, no less than a booster, even Russia can be defeated, located in the hinterland of the northwest, is the safest place, coupled with the northwest policies and welfare, in the continuous propaganda, gradually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only the prime of labor, the choice to enter the northwest to find opportunities, even some rich businessmen and landlords, have gone to the northwest, no matter what, Enjoying some preferential conditions and convenient logistics is key.

At the beginning, Beiyang and the revolutionary party did not realize what impact this would have, but there were more people, and the large taxpayers in the past ran three or four percent at once, and the tax and other aspects must have been affected, which made Beiyang and the revolutionary party begin to restrict, although based on the establishment of the Republic of China, they did not dare to have an open action, but there were not many small actions, and even did some things to raid the family and exterminate the family, and the difficulties for the export of industrial products in the northwest also increased.

The originally calm situation became tense again, the investigation bureau went through the previous war in the north, and the control of China went to a higher level, and the small actions of Beiyang and the revolutionary party were soon reported to Liu Shu, Liu Shu convened the staff to work for a few days, but there was no reasonable solution, and in the end, as a last resort, it was reported to Yang Yuanzhao.
