After discussing the cooperation with Qiao Yu, Seckert did not leave in a hurry, but personally inspected the industrial situation of several major cities in the southwest, and also collected some information on China's mineral resources.

When Seckt knew that China was rich in these two minerals, he was very excited, China was indeed a good partner, and even Seckt felt that if Germany was not in a hurry to start a war, but continued to cooperate with China and get enough resources, Germany might be able to win the war, but some things could not be reversed, and what to do now is to use China's resources and sites to preserve Germany's vitality.

Seckt is also very concerned about the army, the army in the southwest as a whole lags behind the major European powers, but it is not a world of difference, and the elite forces can completely compete with Europe, which has been proved in the war, and the military education system in the southwest is also very perfect, which can help Germany to train a large number of military talents, after seeing these, Seckt and his entourage wrote a report of more than 2,000 pages, and strongly asked Germany to cooperate with China in an all-round way.

The cooperation agreement between China and Germany is strictly confidential, and only a few high-level people know about this matter, of course, Jiang Baili is very clear about the whole insider, he is very supportive of this cooperation, although Germany was defeated, but his industrial technology is definitely leading the world, China has now introduced German technology, American technology, and obtained part of the technology of Britain and France during the war, and accepted Russian and Austro-Hungarian technicians after the war.

It can be said that China has concentrated the technology of various major industrial countries together, this situation is simply unimaginable in later generations, if it is not for the World War I such a godsend opportunity China can not do, but just get these technologies is not enough, what China needs is to integrate all the technologies together, form their own characteristics, consolidate the industrial base, at this juncture if you can get German technical support again, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost for China.

Jiang Baili unconditionally supported the cooperation with Germany, but Qiao Yu handed over the Far East Resources report to Jiang Baili a little doubtful, although he had to pay some price in exchange for two warships, but this price was too great.

"Junzuo, this is just an island country, no matter how far it develops, we still have a way to compete with it, if we solve the bottleneck of resources, I am afraid that we will never be able to take it, and it is not a bit risky to encourage it to develop the resources of the Far East!"

"Haha, Brother Baili, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, the resources of the Far East are not so easy to develop!" Qiao Yu knows very well in his heart, the Far East is indeed a treasure trove of resources, but it has not been developed in later generations, although there are various reasons, but the climate of the Far East itself is also a fatal reason, and it is not suitable for human habitation!

"Now if I want to develop the resources of the Far East, I must first take the territory from the Russians, but no matter the majority party, or Belarus, will it be so easy to give up the territory, this is the mouth of the Pacific Ocean, it is very important, the Russians' enthusiasm for the land is not lower than that of the Chinese, the two countries must die, even if the book occupies this place after a period of time, but the next development will definitely make them crazy, the ancient poem has the sentence that Hu Tian is flying snow in August, In the Far East, it snows for most of the year, and when the weather warms up, there are more than three months of mud, and there are only a handful of months left to grow oats, potatoes and the like.

Under this natural condition, it is very difficult for human habitation, and the development of resources requires infrastructure construction, but the bad climate will make infrastructure construction a very difficult thing, and now the Trans-Siberian Railway of the Russians has to be repaired frequently, so although the resources of the Far East are attractive, the initial investment in development is too large, so large that the capital can hardly afford it. ”

There are about three months of cat winter time in the Northeast every year, and this time will double in the Far East, which is a huge torture for human beings, how can people not survive and talk about development, and permafrost is also a big trouble, which will bring huge trouble to infrastructure construction, and Suo surname will throw this trouble to this book.

"Junzuo, this kind of difficulty is indeed there, but it is said that this is a very resolute nation, the temptation of resources for them is too great, they will definitely overcome these difficulties, to achieve development and utilization, and this is originally our land, even if it cannot be developed, we must first get it in our hands, and keep it for future generations, and we must not let this plague be laid!"

"Brother Baili, I said these difficulties, but I don't want this land, I said that I need to invest at least five to ten years, and what extent China can develop after ten years, can you still imagine?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Yu's insidious intentions are revealed, using the funds of the capital to develop the Far East, and when the development is almost over, China also has enough strength, so he will take the Far East into his own hands, and Qiao Yu is not sure to catch up with himself in the navy for ten years, and it can even be said that it is good to have the ability to protect himself, but on land China is not afraid of anyone, China has completed the initial industrialization and can easily mobilize more than 10 million troops, the Far East and China border a huge area, China occupies the geographical advantage, When the time comes, I can easily drive myself out.

Jiang Baili also laughed when he heard this, "Junzuo, your abacus is too fine, but aren't you afraid that you won't be fooled?" ”

"Brother Baili, didn't you already say that I can't resist the temptation of resources, but I'm worried about whether China will be able to train tens of millions of male soldiers in ten years!"

"Junzuo, this time we have expanded the army to 700,000, the number of troops will be able to exceed one million within three years, if we can unify the country, after rectification, we can have at least two million troops, after the mobilization system is established, equipping tens of millions of troops is not an empty word, but I don't want China to rely on numbers to win, the key is to improve the combat capability of the army, although China has a large number of people, but it cannot be consumed casually, and the tactics of crowds are even more unacceptable!"

While he was talking, Wu Tong suddenly hurriedly walked in, "Junzuo, Commander-in-Chief Zhu is now stationed in Dali and other places with a large army, and the British have already sent a strong protest, demanding that the [***] team must withdraw!" ”

Since Zhu Qinglan got Qiao Yu's order, he led the army into Yunnan, Luo Changqi, as the local governor of Yunnan, is now a little like sitting on pins and needles, a large number of people have fled, rashly blocking will definitely cause serious conflicts, not blocking the border line is useless, and it will give Britain the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Governor Luo, Junzuo's meaning is very clear, whether it is Tusi or the British, as long as they dare to threaten China's borders, they will be severely attacked, this time I have brought 100,000 troops, who wants to hit the muzzle of the gun, I will never be polite!"

After Zhu Qinglan arrived in Yunnan, he immediately set up airports in Dali, Tengchong and other places, and the Chinese Air Force took the lead in taking action to patrol the border areas, and at the same time dropped a large number of leaflets, asking the local people not to listen to rumors and flee at will, airplanes are absolutely new in this era, many people who escaped mistook airplanes for heavenly soldiers, many of them believe in the gods, and now when they see the "will" floating down from the sky, they have been worshiped as the guidance of the gods, so many people suddenly gave up the idea of escaping, They all honestly returned to their original places of residence.

Many Tusi upper echelons still know that this is just a flying machine, but they know better that this is a harbinger of the central political axe to send a large number of troops here, and now if it is still against the political axe, it is definitely a dead end, especially the plane also dropped bombs several times, although no one was injured, but the shock brought by this violent explosion is still beyond imagination, and then a large number of border guards also drove into the territory of the original local division.

With the deterrence of the army, everything is easy to do, and the civil officials can also start the war work, after the army deters the people from fleeing, they began to build forts on the line of actual control, send patrols, and the British and Indian troops are very clear about the actions of the [***] team, and now Burma is still a province of India, under the management of the Indian governor, and in the past, the British and Indian troops acted arbitrarily on the Chinese border line and wantonly bullied the Chinese border people.

This time the situation was completely reversed, a large number of Chinese troops marched into the Yunnan border line, began to strengthen the defense force, the shock of the British colonial authorities is still very huge, in the past, out of contempt for China, Britain did not care much about the [***] team, but after China's power really entered the border, the British colonial political axe suddenly felt stretched, they can use too few troops, if China launches a large-scale attack, they have no way to resist, Therefore, the British colonial axe protested against China on the one hand, asked for help at home, and at the same time frantically recruited troops.

Their garrison in Burma was only two divisions, and other colonial forces, with a total number of less than 30,000 men, out of absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, but the British colonial authorities were still relatively confident, and the commander, Lieutenant General Hamilton, was born in the British aristocracy and had just been transferred to Burma from Europe, and his main mission was to stabilize Burma and stop the centrifugal tendency of the colonies caused by the decline of the British Empire.

Hamilton transferred a brigade of Indian soldiers from Europe, these soldiers have been baptized by World War I, they are very good cannon fodder, and now they have been brought to Burma by Hamilton, used as a trump card force, Hamilton recruited a large number of soldiers, captured a group of nationalists, just when he couldn't help but cheer for his success, there was a huge change in China, a large number of toasts began to flee to Burma, more than 100,000 people in just half a month, at first Hamilton did not know what the reason was, When he learned that it was China's reforms that caused the rebellion of these Tusi, he was ecstatic, and this was a time to make a contribution.

The British Empire's colonial footsteps are about to enter China, he immediately took the army to Myitkyina, an important town in northern Burma, while strengthening the vigilance, while preparing to wait for an opportunity to attack China, not far from China A force of more than 50,000 people is also gathered, the target is also Myitkyina, the north of Myitkyina is the Jiangxinpo area, that is, the famous Savage Mountain, not suitable for war at all, the Chinese side surnamed Suo will choose the breakthrough site in Myitkyina, as long as it captures here, it will win the initiative, Britain can only admit defeat, At both ends of the border, the armies of China and Burma are tense, and a major war is inevitable.
