On the European battlefield, the war is already in full swing, and the land of China is not peaceful, because Germany exchanged Qingdao to the northwest, and Japan, which was calculated, lost 2 permanent divisions and 1 new brigade, and trapped the sixth division, of course they will not just forget it, bypassing Shandong, which has been operating in the northwest for a long time, and choosing to assemble in Tianjin. The northwest will turn into a good meal, and not only the Beiyang and the revolutionary party will pounce, but even Russia will be no exception.

Even if Japan is in other parts of China, they can enter in and investigate all kinds of things they want to investigate, but for them, the northwest is a forbidden area, and they don't even know how much output value and industrial production capacity the northwest has, at most they can only get it from the figures publicly disclosed in the northwest.

For example, the Northwest Army currently in Shandong is regarded as the absolute main force in the Northwest Army, and most of the strength, the former is correct, but the latter is wrong to the sky.

In order to ensure safety, they rented transport ships belonging to the great powers, and they also went through the Sea of Japan, and detoured from the coast of Korea to the Bohai Bay, and rarely passed through the sea areas controlled by the northwest, but they did not know that at the bottom of the sea, there was a pair of eyes staring at them tightly, and the submarines in the northwest, almost from the Japanese transport ships, stared at them when they entered the Bohai Bay, and reported several times to attack. All were rejected.

The European war has begun, and the Northwest knows it. In this case, it is impossible to attack these transports again. Britain, France, and the United States may be able to tolerate the Northwest providing help to Germany, as long as it is not direct support, but if these transport ships are attacked, it will be naked hostility, and perhaps Britain, France, and the United States will directly declare war on the Northwest, which is not in the interests of the Northwest, and may drag the Northwest into the war.

At present, China's northwest occupies the general trend, but the external performance is above. The northwest still has not unified China, the whole of China is not a voice, Britain and France have no time to take care of anything else, their energy is in Europe, and there is a powerful United States, if the northwest directly joins the camp of the allies, I am afraid that only Germany will be happy, and what will be lost is China's interests, and the remnants of Britain and France. Coupled with the United States, as well as Japan and Russia, which have not been resolved, this will make China very troublesome, and perhaps the Northwest can defeat them one by one. The price you pay is not small.

The submarine forces, almost watching the results of the battle, slipped away from their side. No way, in China. Whether it is the Army, Navy or Air Force. One of the most important prerequisites for soldiers is obedience, which has been engraved in the bones since the establishment of the army in the northwest.

The submarine force almost watched Japan land in Tianjin on European and American transport ships, fortunately, the Japanese army strength is limited, or the old tactics during the Russo-Japanese War, like Russia, there is no threat to China, even if you don't use the hole cards, it is enough for the Japanese to eat a pot, and even in addition to the original Qingdao, now the northwest is more concerned about other places, whether it is the plan to transform the Yellow River, or the export of industrial personnel to Germany, it is more important than the first war in Shandong.

The battle of Shandong, according to the current information obtained in the northwest, may have to wait for dozens of days before it can start, more than 300,000 troops to be mobilized, from the sea and mountains to transport, not the previous tens of thousands of people can be compared, Japan after the previous losses, with a more prudent, more careful method, any safe and careful method, all with the race against time, the outlaw surprise attack has nothing to do with a month or two, now only a small part of the Japanese army has arrived in Tianjin, the rest, or still floating on the road, Either they are simply still in Japan, and only after most of the troops are concentrated and some of them have been reorganized, will Japan attack Shandong.

A large number of Japanese troops entered Tianjin, which had a certain impact on Tianjin, and some of the whips in the northwest were beyond their reach, but fortunately, Tianjin was also an area where the concession was concentrated, and the Japanese kept making small mistakes, but they would not make big mistakes, their primary enemy was the northwest, and the second was to find trouble in Beiyang, they would take into account the feelings of Beiyang and the feelings of the concession area, and they would oppress civilians and bully the market, but there was no large-scale incident.

At this moment, the Japanese army is still walking unhurriedly, this is a huge difference, the Japanese have not yet realized that in the link of the army, they have fallen behind in an all-round way, one side is coming slowly, and the other side has completed a series of fortifications as early as more than a month, or even earlier, forty or fifty days, not to mention the rapid condensation of military cement, Even the reinforced concrete structure made of ordinary cement has solidified.

The intelligence bureau on the movement of the Japanese army, a summary every day, only particularly urgent, will be telegraphed, after knowing the slow movement of the Japanese army, stationed in the first line of Shandong vital part of the Northwest Army, continue to strengthen the defensive line, a month or two of effort, can do more preparations, Shandong's unique environment, the Northwest Army is even digging tunnels, whether it is hiding soldiers, or concealed passage, tunnels are a good choice.

In the north of the war clouds at the same time, at any time may start a war, far south, a train that looks ordinary, but in fact shoulders a special task, the train is running on a railway, south of the Yangtze River, this is one of the few east-west arteries, is the first in the south, and is currently the most important artery, Shanghai-Kunming Railway, in China's railway construction network, his status is an east-west backbone railway, directly through the southern provinces of China, and the longitudinal Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou intersection.

Since 1909, with the commissioning of the steel plant, the railway tracks in the northwest have replaced the rails imported from abroad, the railway construction corps in the northwest has also replaced the road construction companies of foreigners, the machinery and equipment in the northwest and the huge number of manpower have been promoted, the railway in China has developed rapidly, starting from the first year of 30,000 kilometers of mileage, the speed is getting faster and faster, the current five years, the railway mileage of the whole China, has reached an astonishing 250,000 kilometers, and is growing at a rapid rate. Huge China, because of the railway, completely solved the problem of transportation.

Originally, the railway is a capital-intensive industry, as long as the funds arrive, the railway can be repaired at will, the United States, 400,000 kilometers of railway, is not this way, the railway stock has aroused the market's pursuit, as long as there is a plan, you can enter the stock market in a grand manner. Therefore, in the United States at that time, the railroad funds were very sufficient, and with sufficient funds, even the large railroads connecting the east and west of the United States were successfully completed and connected, not to mention other branch railways.

This is the case in the northwest now, under the promotion of the huge funds in the northwest, the scientific integration of an amazing number of manpower, and spare no effort to build, China's railway network has been formed, with Baotou as the center, 500 kilometers can reach the morning and evening solstice, 1000 kilometers can be done in the morning and evening, 2000 kilometers in one day, in this case, the huge China, become small, the original high emperor far away, but now it has become the morning and evening, even a day to arrive at the place, the smooth flow of the decree, It has also made the relationship between the provinces and the northwest closer and closer.

In the territory of Yang Yuanzhao's plan, the north is the focus, but the south has not been pulled down at all, because the three Yangtze River bridges have not yet been completed, China's railway through the Yangtze River from north to south is still in the form of a broken road, the railway network between the north and the south has been formed, especially in the north, the Yellow River starts from the Zhengzhou railway bridge, there are at least 12 railway bridges across the Yellow River, and on the Yangtze River, the railway bridges under construction, in addition to finding world-class experts to build railway bridges, there are only those railways in Sichuan, and it depends on the situation, the first to open to traffic, should be the Sichuan railway.

Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the width of the river is very narrow, the widest width of the Yangtze River in Chongqing is only about 1.2 kilometers, and the narrowest place is only more than 400 meters. Just the distance above, with the Yellow River in Zhengzhou is about the same, when the Yellow River railway bridge can be built, the Yangtze River bridge can also be passed, but in order to make reasonable use of the waterway in the future, especially the completion of a series of water conservancy hubs such as the Three Gorges in the future, large ships can pass to Chongqing to prepare, these bridges are higher, there is no downstream height of more than 60 meters, but also reached more than 30 meters, in a sense, can pass 3000 tons of ships and 5000 tons specially for the Yangtze River waterway, Even ships of 7000 tons.

The Yangtze River, a natural golden waterway, the amount of water in the world is also relatively amazingly huge, especially downstream, starting from Wuhan, the passage is China's relatively rich place, although it is said that the main layout of the northwest is now in the north, but from the design of the Yangtze River Bridge, it can be seen that Yang Yuanzhao attaches great importance to this natural waterway.

65 meters of water surface height, enough to pass more than 30,000 tons of standardized merchant ships, special merchant ships can even be doubled, in this way, from Wuhan to the Yangtze River estuary, the annual throughput capacity, at least at least more than 700 million tons, with the help of cheap and environmentally friendly waterways, contact the most densely populated areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and the surrounding dozens of railways, hundreds of highways are connected to each other, forming a three-dimensional transportation system, about the comprehensive management of the Yangtze River, the future is definitely after the unification of China, the largest, but also the most noteworthy project, Its effect may not be as far-reaching as the transformation of the Yellow River, but the direct economic benefits are very obvious.
