Exchanged views with Wei Han on the details of certain aircraft carriers. Afterwards. Jumping Box left the Commander's Hall with excitement, while Zhao Bei picked up the phone, shook through the attendant's room, and instructed the attendant's room to bring the guest who had just arrived to the office to meet him.

This guest was none other than Yang Wangpeng, the administrative commissioner of Outer Mongolia, who had come to report to the president on the latest situation in Outer Mongolia. Now that the Russian civil war is back in flames, Outer Mongolia, as a region very close to the front line, has always been the focus of the central government, and the situation there has always been at the heart of President Zhao Da, and Yang Wangpeng, as an administrative commissioner, "must often travel back and forth between Kyakhta and Beijing."

Yang Wangpeng did not go to the presidential palace alone, nor did he go to the commander-in-chief hall empty-handed, but he was accompanied by several industrial experts, who brought several heavy leather bags, which contained not documents, but a piece of oil shale, a bag of golden sand, a bag of gravel, and a jar of charcoal.

These things can be seen as a gift to the president, but it can also be seen as the prospect of the current industrial exhibition in Outer Mongolia, the oil shale and the bag of gravel are found in the southern region of Outer Mongolia, and it is not ordinary gravel, but the crushed copper ore, the bag of golden gold is found in the Tangnu Ulianghai area in the western part of Outer Mongolia, and the jar of coal powder of very good quality is found in an open-pit coal mine in the eastern region of Outer Mongolia. These important industrial raw materials are part of the rich natural resources of Outer Mongolia, and the samples collected by the resource expedition team there from the ice and snow show that the industrial development potential of Outer Mongolia is quite good.

After all, the natural conditions of Outer Mongolia are not as good as those in the interior, and the local labor force is also insufficient, so it is not a good place to attract private businessmen, unless the central government gives certain policy preferences, such as increasing immigration, building more railway branches and highways, and even giving some tax incentives to the local government.

Yang Wangpeng's visit to Beijing to meet with the president this time is of course to report to the president on the border situation, but another purpose cannot be left unmentioned, that is, to ask the local government to ask Mr. President to support the industrial and economic development of Outer Mongolia. Four provinces have now been formally established, and the administrators of each province and the members of the local council want the local economy to develop as soon as possible, so that the local people can be lifted out of poverty, and at the same time, the cohesion of the local people will be further strengthened and the absolute integrity of the national territory will be guaranteed.

Therefore, after meeting Zhao Bei, the first thing Yang Wangpeng did was to take out the specimens in his leather bag and put them on the president's desk, and then asked the president to play carefully one by one.

Zhao Bei is indeed very interested, in the eyes of foreigners and some Chinese, he is not only this. The "military and political madman" of the times and is the "industrial madman" presided over by him can be called a miracle of China's industrial modernization, the creation of this miracle is of course inseparable from Zhao Bei's strategic concept, but at the same time, if the country does not have enough industrial resources to open, then this "industrial modernization" is a castle in the air, so, Zhao Bei is also a "resource maniac" Since the implementation of the industrial plan, he ordered to send resource expeditions across the country with an almost crazy greed, Whether it is an island under the scorching sun, or a snowy Mobei, you can see the busy figure of the members of the Chinese resource expedition team everywhere, and the footprints and tombstones left on the barren island and the Mobei Gobi are the loyal confessions of these patriots who dedicate themselves to the country.

Looking at the heavy, golden Mobei Golden Sands in his hand, Zhao Bei's hand couldn't help but reach into the canvas bag, greedily grabbed a handful of golden sand, and then raised his hand in front of his eyes, watching those golden sands fall from the cracks of his fingers onto the desk, and make a pleasant hitting sound, there is no sound more exciting than this sound that can bring wealth.

In fact, not only Zhao Bei is very excited, everyone in the office is very excited, looking at the golden sand that is almost sprinkled on the desk, Yang Wangpeng is very proud, he believes that his industrial development plan has been half successful, and the rest is to persuade the president to allocate funds to build a few more state-owned railways in Outer Mongolia, because Yang Wangpeng firmly believes that only state-owned railways will put the local economy in place, and those private railway investment plans will only put the economic interests of the railway company in place, Yang Wangpeng is reluctant to develop more private railways in Outer Mongolia, and this is also the opinion of local councilors.

"Good, good. Now the center is in need of gold, as a national reserve, your current and use of gold mines in Outer Mongolia will have a significant impact on the financial security of our country, this gold mine, I invest! ”

Zhao Bei took the golden gold on the desk together, piled up into a small mountain of gold, smiled, and he also believed that if the chief financial officer also saw this pile of golden sand, maybe he would also smile, since the center officially implemented the gold national reserve plan five years ago, the Ministry of Finance has accumulated considerable gold reserves, but Zhao Bei is still greedy from various channels to loot gold, whenever the Ministry of Finance has a surplus, Zhao Bei in addition to investing in industrial construction and transportation, the rest will be used to buy gold in the international market, So much so that he was reverently called the "godfather of gold" by foreign gold speculators, and some foreign reporters even speculated that the dictator and dictator of the Far East was building a palace made of gold for himself.

Of course, this gold will not fall into Zhao Bei's private pocket, as a national dollar dictated by Qiangang, he does not need much money at all, power is everything, and it is power that has gathered these gold reserves, and these gold have been melted into gold keys, put into the secret treasury of the Ministry of Finance located deep in the mountains and old forests, and are jointly guarded by the elite troops of the National Defense Force and the security forces of the Ministry of Finance, without the approval of the president, even the chief financial officer has no right to transfer these gold disciples out of the treasury.

"The construction of the gold mine has actually begun, and as long as the central investment is in place, gold can be produced within this year." Of course, Yang Wangpeng has also heard of the name of "gold godfather", and knows that Zhao Bei attaches the most importance to real money and silver, and despises the banknotes of various countries, so before he came, he knew that gold mine investment is not a problem, the key is the investment plan of several other industrial raw materials.

Yang Wangpeng picked up the oil shale and said: "President, please see, this is the current oil shale in the southern region of Outer Mongolia, which has been tested by experts, and the oil content is very high. Now the hub is looking for oil fields and oil deposits in Central Asia, but there is no oil production in the short term, so why not do these first

Zhao Bei took the oil shale and looked at the sunlight outside the window. As a historical traveler, Zhao Bei knows very well that there is a large oil field waiting for him to exploit in the Northeast, but now Zhao Bei does not plan to exploit the deep oil field first, in addition to technical limitations, the main reason is that Japan's demand for oil is also getting bigger and bigger like China, and the Northeast is too close to the Korean Peninsula, considering the Japanese garrison on the Korean Peninsula, Zhao Bei had to temporarily push the construction of the oil industry in the Northeast to a later point, and first exploit the oil fields in the west, for this purpose, He also ordered the western railroad to continue to be extended to Central Asia, and even considered asking an American company to build a very long oil pipeline from Central Asia to Dihua.

Zhao Bei has not considered the development of oil shale resources, and there are also oil shale resources in Northeast China, but the problem is that, according to the report provided by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Heavy Industry, the cost of refining oil shale by current technical means is very high, and it is far less cost-effective than importing directly from Southeast Asia, so Zhao Bei has not been interested in oil shale, which is why he did not pay special attention to the oil shale specimen just now.

In this era, although people know that oil shale can indeed be refined into oil, but in this era when oil prices are not very high, refining oil shale is not cost-effective at all, and perhaps it can be used as a strategic reserve for all-out war, just like the oil fields in the Northeast.

Oil experts said that this kind of oil shale has a high oil content and can ensure low cost.

Zhao Bei put the oil shale back, clapped his hands, and asked with a smile: "Did the Russian expert tell you?" ”

Yang Wangpeng was stunned and said, "How does the president know? ”

"Hah! Don't think I don't know, when the central government was searching for Russian industrial talent on the border, your local government was not idle, let's say, how did you hire this oil expert? How are you treated? Did you even prepare spirits for him as a wage subsidy? ”

Zhao Bei's words with drama and virtue came out, Yang Wangpeng immediately understood, I am afraid that he was fooled again, indeed, in the recent period, many of the Russian experts hired by the local government are indiscriminate, which makes Yang Wangpeng and his staff suffer a lot, obviously, on the issue of oil shale, they may be fooled again.

Yang Wangpeng immediately shut his mouth, and decided not to talk about the oil shale anymore, and was about to pick up those copper ores, but now Zhao Bei has changed the topic.

"Zilun, you come here this time, this is certainly a good thing to show the prospects of industrial construction, but don't forget that you have more important things. Let's talk about it, what is the situation on the border of Outer Mongolia now? The day before yesterday, the General Staff reported that the Russian tsarist army had suffered successive defeats on the front line, and seeing that Omsk could not hold it, and this defensive line collapsed, I was afraid that it would be defeated again. The combat effectiveness of the reorganized Soviet Russian Red Army is quite powerful, and we must make preparations in advance, lest the tsarist army withdraw to the east in a chaotic manner and mess up our borders

Yang Wangpeng then remembered his main task, so he hurriedly told the local government in the recent period of various contingency measures, of course he knew what Zhao Bei was worried about, according to the news that came a few days ago, the Tsarist army of the Denikin Army failed to attack Yekaterinburg, the Soviet Russian Red Army took advantage of the victory to pursue, defeated the Denikin Army and the Czech Army in one go, and forced the Kolchak Army and the Far East Army to retreat to Omsk, and at the same time, the Entente intervention army's diversionary war operations were also carried out quite chaotically, The Polish and Romanian armies were repulsed one after another, and the anti-Soviet coalition in Europe was initially met with a strong counterattack from the Soviet and Russian sides.

In this case, China must take into account the situation in North Asia after the retreat of the tsarist army, before going to Outer Mongolia to take up his post, Yang Wangpeng was specially told by Zhao Bei, telling him to keep an eye on the Baikal region before and after, if the tsarist army retreats to the east of Lake Baikal, then, the border of Outer Mongolia must immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and now the Outer Mongolia region is still integrated with the military and government, Yang Wangpeng, as an administrative commissioner, is responsible for the defense of the Outer Mongolia region together with Xu Shuzheng, so he must be clear about the current situation, And this situation must be clearly outlined for Zhao Bei.

After listening to Yang Wangpeng's narration, Zhao Bei pondered for a long time, and then asked.

"If the war spreads to the Baikal region, will it affect the construction of gold mines?"

"No, it won't. Although the gold mines are not very far from the border, with the strength of the local Wehrmacht, they are enough to deter any enemy, even the Soviet Russian Red Army, which is armed with ideas. Yang Wangpeng shook his head.

Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Listen to what you mean, you seem to look down on the doctrine of the belief of the Soviet Russian warriors. But I have to warn you, this doctrine is quite powerful, why did the tsarist army fail again and again? It is because they do not have sincere beliefs that they may be more dependent on Orthodox Christianity, but if they encounter doctrines, then they are not opponents, after all, one describes heaven in nothingness, and the other describes heaven in reality. ”

"Paradise? I don't believe any of them

Yang Wangpeng crooked his lips and was about to have a good talk with the president on this issue of faith, but the other party was obviously not interested in discussing this topic.

Zhao Bei said: "I am now clear about the situation in Outer Mongolia. You can go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Heavy Industry and discuss with them the issue of industrial construction, because many factories in the interior have closed down or are about to go out of business, and a large number of unemployed workers have nothing to do, and the central authorities are planning to emigrate them to Outer Mongolia, and these workers are skilled and subject to discipline, and if they are called herdsmen, it will be somewhat condescending, so it is better to ask them to work in the industrial enterprises you have set up, and make use of their technology to display the industries in Outer Mongolia as soon as possible. ”

Yang Wangpeng stood up with interest, said goodbye to Zhao Bei, and then left the presidential office with a few industrial experts, leaving without taking samples of industrial raw materials with him.

Zhao Bei looked at the pile of golden sand on the desk, smashed his mouth, and sighed. "A mountain of gold, another mountain of gold.

It's just a pity that after the war in Europe, the real gold standard is basically over, and after that, it will be the era of paper money with virtual gold

Although the era of paper money has arrived, Zhao Bei still decides to continue to loot gold reserves from the world, because he knows very well what the world will be like in the future, and he must plan ahead and strengthen the country's financial base for a real all-out war. ,If you want to know what happened next,Please log in...,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
