Three months later, on the New Year of 1867, Lin Haijiang arrived in Okhotsk, which had been captured by Chekov, to express his condolences to the soldiers and production and construction corps of the Northern Military District, as well as to inspect eleven large residential fortress cities built in the Far East. You need to keep beating, otherwise you will be frozen, although this is a joke, but Lin Haijiang, who has personally experienced the white-haired wind of the Far East, does not think so.

At present, in addition to some of Chekov's cavalry still operating around, all the troops and production and construction corps of the Chinese Empire have also stopped their activities and spent the winter in the large residential fortresses that have been built long ago, especially this winter is extremely cold, even Chekov is worried about this cold and harsh winter, it can be said that this is an extremely cold and severe winter that has not been encountered in a century.

Nicholas I, who was originally nervous in Moscow, was also really completely relieved, Napoleon was defeated in a cold winter, and almost all the enemies who attacked Russia in history were also defeated in the bitter cold, can Lin Haijiang of the Chinese Empire be an exception? The bitter cold that even their own elite Cossack cavalry could not withstand, those poor Chinese must now regret it! Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Nicholas I was in a good mood, dragged a maid over, and put his hand directly into the maid's dress, and by the light of the fireplace Nicholas I's face looked very ruddy and radiant.

Chekov, a traitor to the damned Slavs, wait for the spring to see how I clean you up! At this moment, all the energy of Nicholas I has been concentrated on the maid, and it seems that his energy has become so much that there is no way to vent?

It is a pity that Nicholas I underestimated the preparations of the Chinese Empire, Lin Haijiang has been steady and steady before, more than one million soldiers of the production and construction corps and nearly 10 million people are almost all poured in with militarized management, from the beginning of the entry began to prepare for the selection and construction of permanent settlements for the winter, the smooth railway made a large number of various materials hoarded in Heilongjiang can quickly enter the Far East, and the multi-track railway between the eleven large settlements has been laid. The houses and heating facilities for the winter are all in place and operating normally, it can be said that this is Lin Haijiang's use of the strength of the entire Chinese empire to protect a Far East, whether he can spend this winter safely in the Far East, marking whether the empire's expansion and immigration system can be smoothly implemented, which is a crucial point for Lin Haijiang.

In just over three months, he controlled the entire Far East? The troops are basically marching to receive and build permanent resident fortresses, for which Lin Haijiang still has a great sense of achievement, but the first thing he wants to thank is Nicholas I, who is the best at playing conspiracy, if it weren't for Tsar Nicholas I's insistence on weakening the strength of the great nobles, so that everyone in Russia is in danger, and all the forces that can be mobilized in the Far East of Russia are buried to the Qing State, Lin Haijiang will not easily occupy the Far East.

However, Lin Haijiang knows that this is only the first step in completing the strategic plan for the Far East, and next spring will be a test of the empire, and the newly rising Chinese empire will have a decisive battle with the Russians on the land betrayed and abandoned by the Qing court, and Lin Haijiang may face the wrath of Russia.

The Great War expected by the General Staff should break out between May and July next year, because the Russians had already gathered nearly 200,000 troops in Moscow a year ago, and Tsar Nicholas I was going to defend Moscow to the death, but the cold winter made this bloody war finally die down, but this winter was crucial for both the Russians and the Chinese Empire, which wanted to use this winter to transport a large number of supplies hoarded in Heilongjiang. Because next year Chekov's New Russian Liberation Army will have a desperate contest with the army of the old Russian tsar, as Chekov's supporter, the Chinese Empire only needs to ensure its logistics, unless Chekov suffers a major defeat, Lin Haijiang will not consider directly using the armed forces of the Chinese Empire to roll up his arms and sleeves and personally end the battle.

As the first stop of Lin Haijiang's inspection and condolences, Lin Haijiang chose Ust-Kut and Amur on the banks of the Lena River, both of which are important transportation points in the Baikal region, especially Ust-Kut, where the Russians built the railway in 1863, and Ust-Kut is now the location of the first advance base of the Northern Military Region of the Chinese Empire, where the headquarters of Wang Daodun of the Tenth Army of the Chinese Empire and the headquarters of Xu Renda of the Eleventh Army are deployed.

Lin Haijiang's intention was very simple, he wanted to see the real situation below, not the joyful welcome scene, and the long welcome queue and earth-shattering gongs and drum slogans!

In the command car of the second section of the six armed trains pushed by the front and rear two locomotives, Lin Haijiang was looking at a general history of China calmly, and Li Anmin was struggling to wipe the thick frost on the glass, wanting to see the scenery outside, there were two trains after the special train of the head of state, and the trains were hung with twelve thickened warm armored wagons, and from the chimneys that were constantly smoking at the top of each wagon, it was clear that the people inside seemed to be making a fire to keep warm, but at a temperature of minus forty-six degrees, Even the thickened and insulated armored wagons lit on the stove for heating could not withstand the bitter cold, and the officers and soldiers of the Führer's Guard Regiment still had to set up tents in the wagons, and ginger soup was constantly boiling on the stove.

The officers and men wore thick sheepskin coats and sat in the tents to keep warm, and the most fatal thing was the machine gun on duty that shot holes, because the temperature inside the carriage was higher than outside, so the holes were almost completely blocked by frost and had to be smashed open again almost every hour.

Lin Haijiang checked the guard carriage on duty next to him and found that the temperature on both sides was at least ten degrees different? The temperature of his own carriage was about 10 degrees, while the temperature of the guard's compartment was minus 20 degrees, so Lin Haijiang instructed the accompanying secretary to convey the order, and the officers and soldiers who were not on duty came to his carriage to rest in batches.

The head of state has always been very sympathetic to his subordinates, but out of fear of affecting the rest of the head of state, the director of the secretariat of the Supreme Command who accompanied him resigned after discussing with Guo Jiwei, the head of the guard regiment, and the two were reprimanded by Lin Haijiang, who emphasized that this was his own order, not to discuss with anyone, so the head of the guard Guo Jiwei arranged for all the personnel to take turns to rest in the head of state's carriage.

Looking at the smiling and extremely restrained officers and soldiers, Lin Haijiang took out his cigarettes and scattered them around, Li Anmin looked at the hands of the officers and soldiers with chilblains and frowned and said: "Führer, the history of Lake Baikal in Siberia is also extremely bitter cold, the summer is extremely short every year, the crops are only one, the population is sparse and there are not many minerals, for the empire, a large amount of military expenditure will be needed to maintain the border guards of the Northern Military District, if the General Staff is establishing the Far Eastern Military District, the military expenditure will be much larger, The overall cost of construction and development has been almost astronomical over the years, and now it seems that the gains outweigh the losses! ”

The officers and men in the carriage all listened with their ears pricked up to hear this news concerning their vital interests, and this was a conversation between the chief of the general staff and the head of state! The officers and men present felt some indescribable excitement about the trust of the Führer and the Commander-in-Chief in the loyalty of the guard troops.

Lin Haijiang closed the general history of China and smiled slightly: "In the Western Han Dynasty, this Baikal Lake was within the control of the Xiongnu, called Beihai, the famous Su Wu was exiled to Beihai to herd sheep, that is, on the shore of Lake Baikal, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty, Baikal Lake was within the control of Xianbei, and the name was also called Beihai, and in the early Tang Dynasty, Lake Baikal became part of the territory of the Tang Empire, and belonged to the Guannei Daoguligan genus, and Baikal Lake was also renamed Xiaohai, and the incompetent Manchu Qing signed the "Nebuchu Treaty" with Tsarist Russia After the signing of the Treaty of Burensky and the Treaty of Kyakhta, which divided the middle border between Qing and Russia, the region east of Lake Baikal in Buryatia Mongolia was assigned to the Russian Empire by Kangxi, marking the complete separation of the North Sea and the Central Plains! This Baikal Lake is the North Sea of our Chinese Empire, and it is a sacred and inseparable part of our territory. ”

The officers and soldiers in the carriage looked at Lin Haijiang with reverent eyes, Lin Haijiang paused and said: "Don't look at the barren and barren land in this place, let's just say that this Beihai Lake basin has one-fifth of the world's total fresh water, and the water of Beihai Lake is often clean and clear, even if a white porcelain dish is placed at a depth of dozens of meters, it can be cleaned and seen, and in terms of transparency, even the Nordic Alpine Lake cannot be compared with it!" Moreover, the entire Far East contains a large amount of oil, natural gas, coal, gold, copper, iron, aluminum and other minerals under the ground, which is a treasure that we leave to future generations for the empire! Especially those non-renewable primary resources oil, natural gas, coal, as an important part of energy, the future world who masters the energy is equivalent to the world! ”

Li Anmin looked at Lin Haijiang dumbfounded, for Li Anmin, the head of state can always give him a refreshing feeling, there seems to be no thing in the world that the head of state does not know?

Lin Haijiang patted the shoulder of a captain officer beside him and said: "Taking back Beihai is only a small part of what we have lost, and it is also the first step we have taken. ”

The captain suddenly snapped up with excitement and shouted: "Report to the Führer, always be ready!" ”
