The Far East is an uncultivated virgin land, with incomparable wealth buried underground, and the richness of mineral resources is unparalleled, with extremely rich reserves of gold, tin, iron, manganese, coal, and oil, and endless forests, the exact reserves of the Far East have not been fully explored until later generations.

In the face of such a treasure trove of resources, these geological experts can only give an estimate, oil reserves of 500 million tons, 300 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 300 billion tons of iron ore, the annual output of gold can reach more than one ton, and the rest of the tin, manganese and other resources are even more innumerable.

And it needs to be explained that the scope of these explorers' investigation is only in the south, and the climate in the north is too cold, they did not investigate in detail, but these are enough, the Russian Far East is definitely a good place full of treasures, Qiao Yu sent this investigation report to the hands of Yue himself, and said that the political axe was immediately red-eyed, resources will always be a nightmare for island countries, if the Far East really has such rich resources, and now Russia is a civil war, Yue Ben will definitely not be able to let go.

In fact, there was a serious strategic mistake in the original history, when Soviet Russia had established the Far Eastern Republic, in order to maintain a buffer zone with the Far East, and he did not know the value of the Far East at all, and withdrew his troops for nothing, cheapening the Soviets.

In this era, with the rise of the southwest Sichuan system, China is no longer just a supplier of raw materials and a commodity sales market, China's industrial products have begun to compete fiercely with the company, China's resources have not completely flowed to the company, and now the industry is developing rapidly, what is lacking is resources.

And there are three things in the Far East that are enough to make the book crazy, one is iron ore, without iron, there is no military industry, it is impossible to build huge warships, and the company now has to import a large amount of scrap steel from the United States, which is simply not able to meet the needs of the company, in addition to iron ore, there is also oil, and there is a huge combined fleet in the air, but there is no oil supply, and China is also regarded as an oil-poor country in this era, and it can only rely on imports from the United States.

Both of these are out-and-out strategic resources, the other is gold, at present, the world except for China is basically implemented on the gold standard, sufficient gold is the guarantee of currency stability, there is so much gold in the Far East, it is said that this can not be moved!

The current prime minister is Yuan Jing, who was born in the Political Friends Association, and the relationship between the southwest and the country has been like fire and water, and the southwest suddenly sent such a resource report to the hands of the person himself, and they will be suspicious, after all, he and Qiao Yu have already cooperated once, and he ran to the southwest to look for oil in a hurry, but he wasted a huge amount of money and found nothing, will it be another scam this time, the cabinet is still more cautious.

Hurriedly convened a large number of experts to discuss, said that the war broke out with Russia, so the book is still more concerned about Russia, so there is also a lot of information, each other corroborate, I am sure that most of this resource report is true, and the number of resources in the Far East may be far above the report, after getting this conclusion, the book is very excited, and the hope of solving the lack of resources in one fell swoop is at hand.

In the past, he set all his eyes on China, which was completely a short-sighted manifestation, Russia is the real treasure trove of resources, Yuan Jing immediately summoned all the members of the cabinet to study this report carefully, the current cabinet is not the group of idiots during World War II, and there is still vision and insight.

After discussions, they first recognized the great value of the Far East's resources to the Far East, but then they also put forward two major difficulties in developing the Far East: the first is that the Far East is still under the control of Belarus, and if you want to occupy the Far East, you must send a large number of troops, and the second point is that the Far East is too cold, the frozen soil is everywhere, and the development of resources is particularly difficult, and if you want to develop these resources, you cannot bypass China.

After coming to these conclusions, China and the Far East have a wide land border, and it is necessary to use Northeast China, Mongolia, and other places as base camps in order to gradually develop the Far East.

With this plan, Yuan Jing suddenly remembered that the combined fleet was still preparing to intercept and kill the Chinese's warships, and if the Zhong[***] ship was really sunk, the fragile relationship between China and Yue would immediately break down, then Yuben's Far East strategy would definitely go bankrupt, so Yuan Jing couldn't wait to persuade the military department and ordered Shanna and others to withdraw immediately.

"Junzuo, when we returned home, we were intercepted by the warship Yueben, this is a shame for the Chinese Navy, we must make Yueben pay the price!"

"Shaokuan, it is best to have this determination, the most ferocious enemy of our navy is Yueben, and the development direction of the navy in the future is also how to break the maritime hegemony of Yueben and strive to cut off all the maritime trade routes of Yueben!"

In fact, the Chinese Navy and the German Navy are still somewhat similar, that is, both countries are mainland countries, both are facing a strong island country, and the mission of the Navy is to sabotage and break the other side's control over the sea, which is also the future development direction of the Chinese Navy, Chen Shaokuan also very much agrees with this strategy, China does not need battleships, China needs aircraft carriers and submarines, using air and underwater advantages to cut off the sea lifeline of the book, so that the sea lifeline of the book is only a dead end.

Seckert's visit to China was still relatively secret, so he did not appear at the welcome ceremony, but waited until the ceremony was over, and quietly came to Qiao Yu's marshal mansion.

"Your Excellency, just a few months ago, China and Germany were enemies, and now we are sitting together, and just before the outbreak of the war, China and Germany were close partners, and many things are so wonderful!"

"General Seckert, I would like to correct your words, China and Germany will never be enemies, the two countries are too far apart, we have no direct conflict of interests, and we are both victims of the old order, we have many common interests, this is also the reason why I took the lead in cooperating with Germany after I took charge of Sichuan, China has no other choice in the European war, I hope you can understand!"

Seckert carefully savored Qiao Yu's words, sighed, and said: "Just a month ago, all of Germany's high seas fleet sank in Scarpa Bay, and those were all the essence of Germany, and now they have all disappeared like the wind, but I want to say that the Entente has miscalculated, Germany definitely still has a chance, and it has to be rearmed, whether I can see that day or not, but I firmly believe that Germany will still stand up!" ”

"Your Excellency General, I completely agree with your opinion, Germany is a great nation, and it will never give in easily, it is precisely by believing in the future of Germany that China is willing to cooperate with Germany again, we can be completely open and honest, what Germany needs China to do, you can say it directly!"

Seckert handed over to Qiao Yu a document that had been drafted long ago, which listed a total of six conditions, the first article was to allow German staff officers to enter the internship in China's general staff, the second article was to reserve a part of the places for Germany in the military academy, the third article was to transfer some German [***] industrial enterprises to China, and to retain them in the form of Sino-German cooperation, and China should allow Germany to transfer these factories back to China if necessary, and the fourth article China would provide internship positions for the German Navy to help train naval talents. Article 5 China provides the necessary venues for Germany to experiment with new tactics and new weapons, and Article 6 China exports important strategic materials to Germany!

From this material, Seckert's intelligence, his main idea is to keep the basic plate of the German [***] team, take the route of elite soldiers, with the help of China's land, resources to save the last breath of vitality for Germany, Qiao Yu is very clear that this is the role of the original Soviet Union, Germany's support for the Soviet military industry is still very large, and now Germany has chosen China as the object of cooperation, but I don't know if China and Germany will meet each other like the Soviet Union and Germany in the future.

"Mr. Seckert, I can accept your request, and I can also give more privileges to the German [***] officers, and even give them the opportunity to command actual combat, but I also need Germany to help China!"

"Mr. Inspector, since Germany has chosen China as its partner, it will definitely spare no effort, as long as we can do it, we will never shirk!"

"Mr. Seckert, on the way to China, you must have seen the rampant behavior of Yue himself, Yue Ben is now China's most vicious enemy, and Yue Ben's sea power is also China's biggest threat, so I urgently need to have the ability to counteract, I need you to help me build a strong coastal defense in the Beibu Gulf, renovate the Qinzhou shipyard, hand over the design drawings of U-boats to China, and assist China in building underwater forces!"

Qiao Yu has had enough of the warships of the book, and must have a killer weapon, the aircraft is not mature enough, and it is still difficult to test the aircraft to threaten him, but the technology of the German U-boat is very mature, and World War II is only a slight improvement, the submarine is definitely a cheap and efficient weapon, even if China really enters the era of aircraft carriers, the submarine is also an indispensable underwater weapon.

Seckett was not surprised by Qiao Yu's request, on the contrary, he was very eager for this kind of cooperation, to help China build coastal defense, so that Germany would not be able to have talents in this area, and could find and solve more problems, and be able to maintain the shipbuilding team, which was definitely a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, and China's rise in the Far East could also disperse the forces of Britain and Japan, and it could contain Russia, which was not a loss for Germany.

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, I don't think there is any problem with this, but Britain and France are still closely monitoring Germany, and I can only try my best to recruit a group of shipbuilding experts from Germany, and I have to secretly rush to China, not soon!"

"Well, I can wait, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, I am ready to persuade Beiyang Zheng Axe to give up the German reparations and purchase a batch of German machines!"

China, as one of the victorious countries, naturally has the right to demand compensation, but China's share is not very much compared to Britain and France, Qiao Yusuo's surname will be sold to the Germans, as for the purchase of machinery, it is also a disaster for Germany's poor economic situation.

At least Seckert was very moved, "Joe, I fully feel your sincerity, Germany will never treat a friend badly!" ”
