Chapter 4493: The Contest of Nations (3)

"Commander-in-Chief, look."

"Watermelon! Haha thunder, this time you can be regarded as a great achievement, this place is really hot. ”

In Turpan in September, the day was scorching hot and hot, Lei Meng didn't know where to find a few melon farmers, and a whole cart of round and green watermelons suddenly made Yang Qiu and the guards excited, and even had to accompany Lu Bicheng, who said that they wanted to investigate the oil resources in the northwest, and the exploration team of the Duzishan oil mine were very happy.

Yang Qiu also pulled her to sit under a left male willow to enjoy the shade. Although Cai Yi's health is much better, the northwest climate is dry and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so Yang Qiu left him in Nanjing, Yue Peng just came back and was also on vacation, He Xi was already semi-retired, and Feng Guozhang was too old, so this time he came out with Song Ziqing, Zhang Xiaozhun and Hu Weide, and Murong Han, a member of the Northwest, also waited early to meet in Xingxing Gorge.

Yang Qiu, who was holding a watermelon, looked at the willow tree behind him and asked, "This is Zuo Gong Liu, right?" ”

Hu Weide is erudite and talented, and said: "Yes, when Zuo Gong helped the coffin out of the plug and saw that there was no grass in the wilderness for thousands of miles, he ordered the children of the Hunan army to plant willow and sand dates along the way, and also ordered to cultivate saplings in Henan to supply, and the people along the way also carried water to maintain, and the people's army worked together to plant hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few years, stretching for thousands of miles, and now many of these are planted by later generations, but in order to commemorate Zuo Gong's move through heaven and earth, so no matter who carries it, everyone calls it Zuo Gongliu. ”

Yang Qiu nodded, Zuo Zongtang was probably the first strategist to pay attention to environmental protection. We are well aware that the desert in the northwest is serious, and if it is not treated, sooner or later more and more people will leave. No one can talk about defending the frontier, and they also admire: "Zuo Gong is worthy of being a strategist!" In the northwest, if you want to immigrate and become rich, you must first improve the environment, so we must continue to do this! Ziqing, you record it. Starting this year, all units stationed in the northwest will carry out afforestation activities, and immigrants, engineering teams, and railway construction personnel will all plant trees, and each person will plant hundreds of thousands of trees every year! The government also wants to protect legislation. Anyone who destroys trees will go to jail and be fined planting a thousand trees! If you persist for 30 to 50 years, the environment can be greatly improved. There are many people who come to the northwest under the shade of green trees, so this matter should be treated as a northwest strategy! Later, Shuxia's remarks really became the most important strategic matter for the construction of the northwest, coupled with Yang Qiu's decades-long political career. Afforestation and herb protection have become a basic national policy, and hundreds of millions of trees have been planted and maintained across the country from south to north, greatly improving the problem of desertification.

That's an afterword.

After eating the watermelon, Yang Qiu got into the car and continued to move forward. I didn't take a plane this time, at least he didn't dare to sit on the wood lump now, because he was "afraid of death". So the fleet is full of box cars converted from Renault two-ton trucks, which look a bit like the American school buses of later generations. Although everyone knows his relationship with Lu Bicheng, the latter spends most of the time in the same car with several other women on the trip.

After getting into the car, there were no outsiders, and Yang Qiu immediately asked, "How are Shi Xiaolou and their progress?" Has the Chimion oil field been won? ”

The Chimion oil field is located near Andijan in the Fergana Basin, where the Dawan Kingdom was located during the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by mountains and complex terrain. It was discovered in 1904. A number of oil fields were discovered in the following weeks, and by 1910 the basin was producing 200 tons of crude oil per day. This figure is a drop in the bucket for Baku and the United States, but very important for China, which is always in a situation of oil shortage! At present, there are three oil fields in China, Hanjiang, Yanchang and Yumen, and the first two have reached an annual output of 100,000 tons each. The latter only experienced a strong blowout at the beginning of last year, and is expected to produce about 300,000 tons per year in two years. Saudi crude oil has also been extracted, but in order to cover people's eyes, it can bring back up to 100,000 tons a year, and it also has to bear the risk of sea, so the full supply of 600,000 tons of crude oil per year is far from enough. Just the naval plan that was drawn up not long ago could consume this amount of oil from all the warships in a year. You can't go back to burning coal, right? In that case, the ship's power index will be greatly reduced, because no matter how good white coal is, it is impossible to replace heavy oil.

Therefore, oil has always been Yang Qiu's heart disease, and without oil, there would be no modern industry! It is impossible for the data machine to have a resource map, even if it is known that there is a world-class oil field in Daqing, the current deep drilling technology cannot dig that deep. As for the Shengli oil field, it is very shallow, but there are always concerns before it is solved in Japan. So this time, there was a survey team that went to Duzi Mountain to find the Karamay oil field, but even if it was found, it would take three or five years to build. The ready-made Chimion oil field has become a lifesaver, and the amount of 200 tons per day is enough for the current northwest garrison and construction, not to mention that there is a small ready-made smelter in the local area, so half of the troops are sent because of this oil field.

"Andijan is in the branch of the Tianshan Mountains, and the mountain brigade has already rushed over there." Song Ziqing and Hu Weide glanced at each other, and the two suddenly laughed: "You didn't mention the oil field, we almost forgot." In the middle of last year, the Shanghai Translation Office found an oil field survey report from the materials confiscated in Irkutsk, and at the beginning of this year, the oil survey team drilled according to the location marked above, and at the beginning of last month, it fought Chapter 513 to gain time. Just if the refinery is built here. Transportation leads to higher costs and is also damaging to the Lake Berga environment.

That's a big deal! Yang Qiu was also very cautious, because this oil field is likely to become the largest source of oil in the country in the next twenty years, so after thinking about it, he pointed to the north of Irkutsk: "Pick a place here." It must be controlled within 150 km of Irkutsk. Song Ziqing nodded. This was about the same as he thought, 150 kilometers was within the radiation range of the fortress, and the infantry could quickly establish a defensive circle after the first line was breached.

The sudden surprise made Yang Qiu high-spirited. Looking at the vast area east of the Yenisei River, I felt emotional. This land is so rich that 40% of the world's total mineral reserves are here! As long as the poor party can be forced out this time and promise to abrogate all the treaties, then in the future, as long as the line of the Yenisei River and the Trans-Siberian Railway are blocked, this land will not escape the palm of its hands. Even Anglo-American law will not let itself swallow directly, and it can increase the number of Han Chinese through immigration and then cannibalize it little by little in the form of referendum autonomy!

Forty percent of the world's total ore reserves! What is this concept? Yang Qiu asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "How is the immigration going?" ”

Hu Weide, vice premier and familiar with civil affairs, said: "Migration from the northeast has been the smoothest, with as many as 6 million people already going. The northwest is more difficult, and most of the people stop in Gansu, Ningxia and Suiyuan, with a total of about 2 million people, but very few are willing to come to Xinjiang. The total is now less than 100,000. ”

"It's too slow!" Yang Qiu was very dissatisfied with the speed of this immigration, and said loudly: "I will send a telegram back in a while, and there are some things that you are not polite!" Let the Ministry of Justice and the National Guard cooperate, and get all the beggars, homeless people, and criminals across the country, and within a year, Xinjiang and East Kazakhstan must ensure that an additional 2 million Han people are added! In addition, I would like to advise the President and the Prime Minister. First of all, I initiated the discussion in the National Assembly, and my idea is to divide the northwest and establish four border regions: East Kazakhstan, Almaty, Xiaye (Kyrgyzstan), and Ansi (Tajikistan), which are temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the central government! Mongolia and Xinjiang were then divided, the northwest of Mongolia was divided into Uriya Sutai Province, the southwest was changed to Bayan Province, and the Kulen region continued to be Mongolian Province. The former Xinjiang was divided into two provinces, Xinjiang and Kashgar. ”

The northwest is vast, especially Mongolia and Xinjiang, and subdivision can not only make it easier to manage, but also break the demographic structure of these regions and divide local forces! Filling the northwest with homeless, beggars and criminals to increase the proportion of Han people is also an old method of all dynasties, although the Republic of China has been thriving day by day, but beggars and homeless people are still inevitable, and forcibly collecting them can at least increase millions of people at once, but in that case, Yang Qiu's reputation will definitely not be much better.

Yang Qiu was very open-minded about this, and said with a smile: "The long-term peace and stability of the northwest that we have to consider, it is better to be scolded by millions of people than by future generations!" After the migration, all of them were under military control, and each person was provided with one pound of grain per day for half a year, and all food distribution was terminated after half a year. Murong! The household registration system I told you last time should be implemented in the northwest and border regions as soon as possible, and in addition, we should mobilize more of our national communities and ordinary people to come over, so that they can take the lead in organizing these immigrants to learn how to protect themselves, and we must not rely on the government and the army for everything. ”

Murong Han, who had been sitting next to him, recorded it and asked, "It's a good thing to immigrate to the border, but too many of them may cause panic among other ethnic groups." I suggest that it would be useful to recruit soldiers from among the Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Tajik communities that are friendly to us to form cavalry. First, military management can make them identify with our country, and it can also give them the psychology of protecting their homeland, and secondly, it is recommended to immediately recruit teachers from the hinterland, or recruit literate people from retired soldiers to come to the northwest, and implement a monolingual education system in the name of holding a Chinese language crash course to facilitate communication! ”

Hu Weide's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh and applauded: "Hao Yu is really a general!" There are many complex languages of ethnic groups in Northwest China, and if we can implement monolingual education based on our Chinese, it can greatly promote ethnic exchanges! ”

"Not bad." Song Ziqing was also driven by the atmosphere and said: "Since the founding of the army, literacy education has been implemented in the army, and now many retired soldiers have reached the middle school level. It's a pity to let them go home to farm and go to the factory, so it's better to recruit some of them to come to the northwest as teachers. These people have military backgrounds, and many of them are still members of the National Socialist Party, and they can quickly establish a management system by mixing them with the displaced people, and they can also serve as reserves if something happens in the northwest. ”

Everyone offered suggestions for the northwest, and when the atmosphere of discussion was hotter than the sun outside, the car slowly stopped. Zhang Xiaozhun appeared outside the door: "Commander-in-chief, Minister Lu Zhengxiang called and said that Kolchak has arrived in Irkutsk and is waiting for you." In addition, the British ambassador went to meet with the President yesterday and asked us to immediately cease our activities in Central Asia and march into Western Siberia as soon as possible. ”

"These British, fearing that we will seize Central Asia and threaten India and Afghanistan in the south, are trying to send us to West Siberia to die! It's disgusting. After Hu Weide finished speaking angrily, Yang Qiu waved his hand and pondered for a moment: "I sent a telegram back to Lu Zhengxiang, saying that I have something to delay in Xinjiang and need to arrive later, so I will hold Kolchak first." Then I called the President and the Prime Minister and asked them to tell the British ambassador that our army had discovered that a large number of poor partisans had entered Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, and hoped that we would be allowed to enter these areas to suppress bandits! As for Western Siberia, we will try to cooperate. ”

Hu Weide and the others smiled when they heard this, Song Ziqing knew what Yang Qiu meant, and said with a smile: "Britain has nothing to do with us now, and if the fight is lively, sooner or later it will use Central Asia as a condition for us to withdraw troops in exchange for a statement to terminate all treaties." As for Kolchak, if we draw the attention of the poor party to the east, they will have to chase and attack Kolchak's troops lately, so as not to be taken advantage of by us! This time, I'm going to see how this top executive can hold the shelf, unless he wants to keep that bit of gold for the coffin! ”

Yang Qiu smiled slightly, turned his head to look out the window. Gold? He wants, but what he really wants, is a statement by the Russian Poor Party that openly declares the revocation of all unequal treaties between China and Russia! Of course, the character of the Slavs knows how to compromise only when they are beaten! …… (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. ).
