Chapter Seventy-Five: Chinese Nationality
The Altai Mountains were protected much earlier than Alxa.
The Altai Mountains are also called the Golden Mountain, the Qing Dynasty in the Altai Mountains gold panning people reached 70,000 or 80,000 people, after the People's Revolutionary Army took control of the Altai Mountains, killed a group, expelled a group, and now the gold miners have almost disappeared.
The climate difference between the north and south of the mountain range is very large, the south is temperate arid and semi-arid desert climate, the north is subject to the Atlantic water vapor brought by the westerly circulation, and the Irtysh River valley and the Zaisan valley of Kazakhstan are driven straight in, encountering the Altai Mountains, and being forced to lift and lift the water. Therefore, the precipitation is more abundant, the precipitation increases with the altitude and decreases from west to east, there are more winters and summers, less springs and autumns, more snowfall than rainfall, the snow cover time is extended with the increase of altitude, the lowest snow line is as low as about 2800 meters above sea level, and the temperature change decreases with the increase of altitude. The vertical gradient of climate in the Altai Mountains has obvious changes, with the characteristics of long winters and short summers, but not obvious springs and autumns.
The vertical distribution of vegetation in mountainous areas is obvious. below 1100 meters is the foothill steppe zone; 1100~2300 meters is a forest zone, which used to mainly grow Siberian pine, Siberian fir, spruce, etc.; Above 2300 meters, it is a mountain meadow belt and a subalpine meadow belt.
The farms are spread over mountain basins, with pastures at the top and bottom of the mountain. However, with the conservation of the forest by the Han people, the forest extended up and down. The number of plant species has almost doubled. Wildlife species are also increasing. However, this generation is an earthquake-prone area, with the 1931 earthquake causing more than 100 kilometers of fault zones. Seismic activity in the Baikal region is frequent. Almost all of the military and civilians used wooden houses.
Some schools, shopping malls and other large buildings are under construction. The impact of the earthquake was fully considered, and a reinforced concrete frame structure was adopted.
However, the houses in the mountains are in the form of two-story wooden walls with an earthen wall in the middle. Fire walls can't be made, so they used improved fireplaces in every house. With a Russian twist. The high-speed heavy rail train route runs from Zhangye through the Altai Mountains to Bayan Chagan, and then along the Hangai Mountains to Bayan Prague and Bayan Helhan, crosses the Tes River, and Tangnuula Mountain to Wuliang City.
Due to the abundant precipitation in the Altai Mountains and the melting snow from the glaciers, there are many rivers, lakes and beautiful pastures.
However, during the Mongol period. Influenced by the intensification of the Soviet Union, a large amount of farmland was cultivated here in preparation for growing grain. Only actually due to the lack of population. As a result, these farms did not work.
After being incorporated into the Wuhan government, about half of this large-scale farm was retained, and the other half was not restored to grassland, but to forest. There is very little precipitation in the plains of Mongolia. The main precipitation is all in the mountainous high altitudes. Ecosystems are highly tolerant of rivers. Plus the average temperature is lower. Winters are long and summers are short, and the types of crops that are suitable for cultivation are limited. Even the most scientific agricultural cultivation methods still require a certain amount of irrigation water. Therefore, the area of farmland to be reclaimed should also be limited.
South Baikal is also a region with high wind speeds, because for thousands of years it has been dominated by animal husbandry, which has led to a single and sparse vegetation. The Gobi Desert is numerous, only because the cold climate reduces a certain amount of water loss. It's just slightly better than Suiyuan.
Environmental conditions are different. The problem is the same. It's the slow recovery of vegetation.
The good thing is that there is abundant rainfall and snowfall due to the high mountains. The conditions for vegetation expansion along the river are much stronger than in Suiyuan.
Farmland is also concentrated in these places. As a result, the proportion of plantations in South Baikal to the total agriculture has risen rapidly, to about 30 percent.
In recent years, the main efforts of South Baikal have been on the cultivation of suitable farmland, increasing forest cover, maintaining the development of grasslands, and protecting swamps, wetlands and meadows. Of course, in Altai and Chita, a non-ferrous industrial zone is also being built.
All these measures have led to a population explosion in South Baikal, which has grown from more than 3 million to more than 12 million, which is no less than the population of Hubei.
But the territory of South Baikal is too big, so in fact, walking in South Baikal, you can't see many people.
The railway line in South Baikal was the first to be built by surprise for the sake of national defense, and most of it was built along the mountains.
Chita, since the occupation of Khingan Mountain and Chita by the People's Revolutionary Army, Soviet troops voluntarily withdrew from the vast majority of Buryatia in eastern Baikal, because it is all forests. In front of the Chinese army, which was good at jungle warfare, the Soviet army had no possibility of holding it at all.
This region is preparing for the creation of a new province of Chita. Contains the area west of the Great Khingan Ridge watershed and the movement of Lake Baikal. It covers the entire Hung Yen Mountains. Fu Zuoyi was transferred to become the governor.
Agriculture in Chita Province has developed rapidly in the valleys of Lake Baikal and the Khingan Mountains and the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the population here has reached 6 million. Chita province is dominated by agriculture, forestry, hunting, and industrial and mining industries. Pastoralism has only developed slightly in recent years near communication lines. And, in fact, it is mainly used for forest fire prevention and military purposes. The yield is completely negligible.
The Sino-Soviet dividing line was on the line between Baum and Middle Carral, and was bounded by two tributaries of the Vitim River. The northern part has been largely cultivated, and now it is wheat harvest season. Large Soviet combine harvesters harvesting wheat. And the tractor is in the plough. Compared to the vigorous agricultural production of the Soviet Union, the Chinese side on this side of the river looks like trees except trees.
All Chinese farmland is in forests, even on the shores of Lake Baikal. They are divided into many pieces by the forest.
There is also a part of the farmland that is harvesting wheat, but the potatoes and some legumes, vegetables and fruits between the ridges are full. And not all black soil, as in the USSR now, which is all ploughed.
The Chinese still use cattle and horses for transportation. However, they do not come out again after entering the processing plant, they are threshed and dried directly into the warehouse, and finally they are made into starch and noodles, or other food products for sale.
In terms of processing, Chinese factories are already highly automated, and the transportation system is much more advanced than in the USSR.
All Chinese, even the working peasants have weapons on them, they still like to use cold weapons. The rangers had guns on them, all semi-automatic rifles with sniper scopes. It is not wrong to say that all people are soldiers.
In a fifteen-story office.
Zhukov looked at the people working in the forest with a telescope, sighed, and said to the staff officers beside him: "Seryosha, this is a terrible people. Compared to the Chinese, the Japanese are stupid pigs. ”
Zhukov felt that even if he used a massive air force to achieve air superiority, it would be almost impossible to hit China's economy hard. Because you can't find the focus of bombing and attacking at all, it can be said that all places are the focus, and if you hit any place, it will not affect the overall situation.
And the Chinese, all the Chinese people, may end up being soldiers who end the lives of soldiers.
But in reality, it is impossible to achieve air superiority.
On some high mountains, there are advanced radar stations of the Chinese, and the Chinese infantry have a rocket capable of tracking fighters. How the Chinese jets can fly at high speeds and have a very long range is simply a mystery.
Previously, Chinese aircraft were said to have no grappling function. But now their planes are birds in the sky, not only fast, but also unpredictable.
Except for this one kind of aircraft. There is also a helicopter that can fly close to the forest. This is even more advanced than the helicopters of the Germans. The Soviets are also building radar stations, but such aircraft cannot be found at all.
On both aircraft there is a rocket that flies so fast that propeller planes simply cannot escape.
And how this rocket tracks fighters, tracks tanks, is also a mystery.
The Soviet military-industrial complex was also experimenting with relevant theories and technologies, but the conclusion was that with the current technology, it was completely impossible to do so. In particular, command tracking requires a lot of calculations, which cannot be done manually in any way.
The Chinese should invent a machine capable of automatic calculations, and then command them by radio. Soviet scientists designed a tube calculator capable of automatic calculations, but very large. It can only be used for calculations in the manufacture and design of weapons.
"Although the Chinese are terrible, the people's hearts are not aligned, and until now, the country is still divided. They are an agrarian people, who emphasize benevolence, righteousness and morality, and take life too seriously. Such a nation is not aggressive as long as you don't touch it. The Japanese are different, they are a pack of hungry wolves. will pounce on you at any moment and bite you. ”
Seryosha summed it up this way. (To be continued......)
