In the plan, several railways from Baotou to Xinjiang, as well as the longitudinal line in the middle, when repaired to the edge of the border, even if it is in Xinjiang, thousands of miles away, from Baotou to transfer troops, it will not take more than 3 days, or even a little north, almost a few hundred kilometers away, you can find the Siberian Railway, when the time comes, the military action and the plan of railway construction, two-pronged, control the Siberian Railway, the whole of Siberia, under the control of the northwest, to achieve supreme results, for China's future population increase, Lay a good foundation for the space.

The harsh conditions in Siberia make Russia not pay attention to it, the current development is not much, at most it is along the cities on both sides of the Trans-Siberian Railway, in terms of the huge area of Siberia, Russia's population is small, with the mobilization ability and immigration capacity of the northwest, as long as there is an opportunity, in a year or two, to Siberia 30 million, or even more population, then the huge, 7 million square kilometers of Siberia, will become the northwest of the bag, There is a choice to choose some countries in Central Asia, and when the time comes, a behemoth in Asia with more than 20 million road area will become the basis of China.

For at least a few hundred years, China does not have to worry about the lack of land area and resources, and the huge, inaccessible Siberia will become China's best place and back garden, and the resulting strategic depth will allow China to have no worries and truly devote itself to the world hegemony.

This plan, which was born because of the arrival of prisoners of war, was slightly perfected by Yang Yuanzhao. It was submitted to the Northwest Government, and the possibility of splitting the territory immediately attracted everyone's attention. Especially the military personnel, in this era, there is no national territorial sovereignty, sacrosanct, in this world full of dark law of the jungle, strength is reason, power is legal principle, when you have the ability to defeat the other side. To be able to claim from the other party, land is only one of the key aspects, but it does not occupy the dominant aspect. But it is valued by China.

At present, the territory of China, Mongolia has not been divided, counted. That's almost more than 11 million square kilometers of land. However, after swallowing Siberia and even recovering 1.5 million square kilometers of land, China will be at least a big country with nearly 20 million square kilometers of land, and it will double its expansion all of a sudden.

One copy. The draft plan for the construction of the Western Railway was thus approved. A lot of advance preparations began, from basic raw materials, to all kinds of railroad tracks and building materials, when the huge machine started, the entire Northwest was preparing for all this, industry, railways, military, and even agriculture, to prepare enough food and military supplies for possible future wars.

The Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, at this time the Northwest Railway Engineering Bureau, is no longer before, only Zhan Tianyou alone, plus some engineers who have just been hastily launched, from the beginning of the rise of the Northwest, the railway is on the territory of the Northwest, occupying an extremely important position, before the economic take-off, the railway has been laid out in advance.

Now, the Northwest Railway Engineering Bureau, all the engineers and personnel, all in the actual combat out of the whole China, more than 200,000 kilometers of railways, is their little by little construction, rich experience team, all out of support, so that the flower of the railway, in China more and more brilliant, from the south to the north, from east to west, morning to night, and even one day of the area of the railway circle, is gradually expanding, and now, in this system, and added a western railway network.

From Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai, these provinces, plus Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, in Yang Yuanzhao's plan, require that every prefecture-level city need to be connected by railway, from one prefecture-level city to another, you can use the most convenient transportation conditions, can do two choices, that is the best.

These requirements were directly issued to Zhan Tianyou, director of the Railway Construction Bureau, and an unprecedented railway plan was opened.

Because this railway network is not on Yang Yuanzhao's railway and highway map, this is his whimsical to make, although China in later generations has developed into the world's second largest economy, but because of the previous historical problems, coupled with the reform and opening up period, the resources in hand are limited, it is impossible to hit all the resources into a system, and choose the eastern coast as the focus of development, which to a considerable extent, deliberately reduced the investment in the west, resulting in historical problems.

After the 21st century, the country vigorously developed the western region, put forward the strategy of large-scale development of the western region, and gradually built the railway and highway network in the western region, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the highest altitude and most difficult railway, was built under such a situation, and even in Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places, there are plans for railway networks, but these have not yet appeared on the railway and highway map.

Survey the terrain, planning the railway, these past a long time of railway construction, the railway construction bureau has been very familiar, a large number of personnel and appropriate tools, enough to make the railway quickly, according to the requirements, finally established the general route of the railway, it took less than 3 months to make the basic planning, the preparatory work has also begun.

A vigorous railway development, so appeared, later generations, the railway plan and the construction of the railway, as the key to the rise of the west, the old and young border poor areas, has become China's new growth point, especially a series of transformation completed, the west by the Gobi and desert, into a lush forest, climate suitable place, a large number of people concentrated in the west, not only to reduce the pressure of Baotou New Area, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia, the average population, but also make the population density more suitable, The most important thing is that these local ethnic minorities and separatist forces have become the basis of Siberia that China is trying to conquer, and after the stabilization of the western part and the completion of the construction of the railway, it has become the most stable base camp.

After the merger from the western provinces to the northwest, although the western provinces have not been developed for the time being, but the preliminary survey and survey work has been continuing, the emergence of aircraft, aerial surveying and mapping, so that the map manufacturing accuracy of the northwest, another level, simple mineral maps and the powerful functions of the all-in-one machine, basically, the mineral deposits within 500 meters underground, can not hide the exploration of the northwest.

Among them, super-large-scale, or this era has not been paid attention to, but the future generations are very useful mineral deposits, the northwest is only marked and recorded for the time being, whether it will be developed in the future, but also depends on whether the timing is suitable, after all, the resources on the earth, always less and less, of course, this only refers to the surface.

There is a point of view in the scientific community of later generations, it seems that every kind of resource will not be too little, especially in the starry sky, countless stars, with a large number of resources, platinum, diamonds, gold asteroids, I don't know how many, even if it is the earth itself, human beings can use it, it is only the most superficial area of the earth, the maximum drilling depth, is only 11 kilometers, but the diameter of the earth, has reached 12,000 kilometers, it can be said that human beings have only developed a skin of the earth.

Of course, even in the later generations, the era of great scientific and technological development, the maximum drilling depth is only 11-12 kilometers, and even for the development of mineral deposits in this region, it cannot reach this depth, let alone this era, maybe when the northwest leads the world, after the concentrated leapfrog development, maybe it can create a greater miracle after a hundred years.

The preparatory work in the early stage has been roughly completed, because it is only an intentional nature, which will take into account the geology, hydrology, and construction difficulty and many other aspects, fortunately, the west is vast and sparsely populated, only a few places have a large population, and the work of land acquisition is not as cumbersome as in the south, Zhan Tianyou and others, with the support of a large number of data, quickly formulated the construction plan of the western railway.

The first project is 20 railway plans, in the huge western provinces, planning seven horizontal and six vertical, 13 backbone railway networks, connecting important cities in the western provinces, the rest is seven ring lines, and Baotou is about the same, with the western city of Xining as the core, with the outermost Urumqi and Lanzhou as the outer circle, all the way to form a dense railway network, so that between the important cities in the west, there are at least two railways connected, the density of this railway network, almost catch up with the eastern province, Once the five-year plan is completed, the northwest will become a truly convenient transportation area, and the biggest problem that constrained the west in the past will no longer exist.

Transportation is always the most important thing to change the backwardness of a region, and the reason why the United States has taken off is that on the one hand, it is the unique political and economic environment of the United States, but on the other hand, the American Great Railroad, which has accumulated the bones of Chinese people, is the key, and a railroad that truly connects the east and west of the United States and allows the central and western parts of the United States to take off, so that the United States can take off in an all-round way.

At present, the northwest is like this, Baotou Special Economic Zone, although it is the west, but Shanxi and Shanxi, how to say that it is also the traditional ancient China region, the development of the western provinces and regions has always been uneven, if you can promote these five huge regions, a variety of mineral resources in many places, to achieve more than imagined development, this is for China, it is simply a rare opportunity for development, balance the central and west, so that these remote and poor areas, become the northwest into Siberia, seek the best foundation for Russian territory.
