The ground in the northwest is not very peaceful, although Jiang Li has basically wiped out and eliminated a large number of reactionary forces. However, it is impossible for a small group of bandits to be completely eradicated in a year or two, not to mention that from time to time there are still small forces in Xinjiang that have fled to Gansu to cause rebellion. Just to protect Li Siguang and hundreds of students, he transferred a company of troops and a platoon of cavalry. There are also nearly a hundred pack horses. FOUR LIGHT MACHINE GUNS WERE CONFIGURED, AND EVEN THE LATEST 2 60MM MORTARS. The men of the guard regiment are highly trained. In this regard, Li Siguang can also feel Jiang Li's good intentions more and more.

"It's true that Battalion Commander Hu said that even if we don't go to the battlefield, we are still contributing our own strength to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, not to mention that the aviation gasoline used by the aircraft used by the Air Force Senior Chief of Staff and the ordinary gasoline used by the transferred convoy are extracted from the Yanchang Oil Plant. Lanzhou, Tianshui around the running transport trucks, tractors. The oil lamps that remote farmers started to use this year are all the output of the oil mines we are looking for. ”

"Yes, yes. Professor Li is still educated, we big-headed soldiers don't know the doorway here, it's really so reasonable to hear this, without us to protect Professor Li, without these oils, no matter how powerful the chief of staff is, he can't lift the plane into the sky. The two optimist soldiers laughed happily when they heard this.

"Where can you talk about what culture is not culture, you can also learn, when I was still in Nanjing, Commander Jiang also sent someone to convince me with this set of words." Li Siguang laughed when he heard this.

"By the way, Professor Li, how about the oil mine in Yumen. What about extending over there? Hu Dashan is more concerned about this aspect. Discovery of new oil mines. Mining out, they, the soldiers and officers who are responsible for protection, also have extra points in their grades. What's more, the mined mineral deposits are also a great support for the development of the strength of the northwest.

"It's still good, there are oil fields in the Oil River, Ya'er Gorge, and Baiyang River, which are much better than the exploitation conditions on the Yanchang side, as long as the road leads here, the output is at least two or three times that of the Yanchang side." Speaking of Yumen Oilfield. Li Siguang said with a cheerful expression.

"Yes, I heard that when the Yanchang oil mine can produce tens of thousands of tons of oil a year, the commander was happy for a while. The output of Yumen is even higher, and it may be able to solve the commander's big problem. Hu Dashan was bold, and these students and soldiers were also quite happy.

"It's just that it can solve a lot of problems." Li Siguang nodded, Lanzhou's tractor factory and automobile factory have been put into operation, and the production capacity has begun to rise. He also knew these things. If it weren't for the fact that the road was really difficult to walk, I would often have to trek through mountains and rivers. His prospecting team had long been equipped with transport trucks. The highway in the northwest is being built very quickly, and the highway from Lanzhou to Xi'an has passed Tianshui, and it is a sure thing that it will be opened to traffic by the end of this year. The railway between Lanzhou and Xi'an will also be opened to traffic next year, with roads and transport trucks, relatively speaking, the speed of building everything is faster. And those tractors run relatively well in the countryside, even if the northwest vigorously builds roads, it cannot be extended to the backward countryside for a while, which is not fully done in the 21st century. In general, with the rapid increase in road mileage, transport trucks have shown far more capacity than horse-drawn carriages, making them easier to maintain and less caring for trucks than horses. Aircraft for the consumption of oil is also a big head, once the Yumen oilfield is also put into production, for the promotion of mechanization in the northwest will be a booster, at the end of last year, Yanchang there has added some oil production equipment, a year of crude oil production has been close to 90,000 tons. In addition, on the side of Yumen, although there is still a gap with the great powers, the Republic of China is no longer a blank in this regard, and has begun to have its own prototype of the oil industry, and it is relatively easy to expand. What's more, the two iron ores discovered one after another are also a strong support for the Northwest industry. Once the Jingtieshan Iron and Steel Plant is put into operation, the steel output in the northwest will hopefully exceed 400,000 tons, which can be called an unprecedented leap forward in the Republic of China.

At this time, the fish soup in the pot had already cooked out its fragrance, and the two fish were naturally not enough, and with the position provided by Luo Kaili just now, the soldier went to catch a few more. Each person got a bowl of hot fish soup, and ate it with bread, in this place where there is a Gobi everywhere, you can eat hot, talk about the current situation in front of you with soldiers and students, although compared with the comfortable life in Nanjing, the conditions seem to be a little harder, but compared to Nanjing's cooked fish and wine, Li Siguang feels that the wild vegetable and fish soup in front of him, the flour cake is delicious, sleeping in the wilderness, going over the mountains and mountains to find those mineral deposits buried in the ground, watching the continuous growth of those young students, this is the life he wants.

"What a Gao Zhihang, Jinzhou did a good job!" Jiang Li, who received the battle report from the front line, couldn't help but praise it, and happily wrapped Feng Chuyan next to him around his waist and turned around several times, until Feng Chuyan, who was giggling, screamed that his head was dizzy.

"It's such a big person, there is no shape, put me down, don't let people see it."

Feng Chuyan slapped Jiang Li's shoulder with a slight red face and said, since the last little ambiguity, the relationship between the two has developed by leaps and bounds, although they have not officially lived together, but Feng Chuyan will often come over to help Jiang Li take care of his personal life. The senior generals of the 15th Route Army are undoubtedly more acceptable to Feng Chuyan, who is also from Fengtian Zhishu Dali.

"I'm the commander, whoever dares to peek, I'll lock him up." Jiang Li laughed and said.

"I didn't peek, I was looking at it openly." A lively voice sounded in the distance, it was my cousin.

Feng Chuyan was embarrassed, and pinched Jiang Li again with a grudge.

"Go aside, adults and children don't see much." Jiang Li waved his hand angrily.

"Ignore you!" The cousin grimaced at Jiang Li, holding Feng Chuyan's hand and asking Feng Chuyan to go shopping, with those industrial factories in Fengtian settling in Lanzhou and some nearby cities, the Lanzhou market is several times more prosperous than before.

Jiang Li looked at the time, and felt that Zhang Zigao was about to arrive, so he nodded to Feng Chuyan, straightened his clothes, and went to meet the newly invited chemist, who has steel and military industry, but there is still a long way to go in the northwest for the detailed division of physics and chemistry.
