"Zhan Aiqing, how is the Ministry of Communications' railway construction plan in the north completed? As you know from previous meetings, we will soon face attacks by several great powers, and the main threat on land will come from Russia. In the vast region of North Asia, the most important thing we fight with the Russians, in addition to the army, is logistics. It can be said that whether or not the logistical supply is smooth or not has a direct bearing on whether or not we can win the war or not. Wang Yuze deliberately left Zhan Tianyou, the minister of transportation, to inquire about the railway construction work in the northern region. The northern region is vast and sparsely populated, and if a war breaks out, the logistical pressure will be very great. Therefore, the construction of railways is very important.

"After more than two years of overtime construction, the railways from Beijing to Kulun, from Beijing to Jilin via Shenyang and Longjiang (now Qiqihar) have been completed and are now extending to the border areas. In the northwest, the railway from Xi'an to Dihua was completed and opened to traffic last year. In addition, the railway from Dihua to the West Gate of Alashankou and Altay in the north is also under intense construction, and it is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of this year! Zhan Tianyou replied.

"That's good, if we can win this battle, the Ministry of Communications is a great hero!" Wang Yuze said happily. Compared with ancient warfare, modern warfare attaches more importance to logistics. In particular, the squadron has extremely powerful firepower and equipment, and consumes more ammunition. Once a war breaks out, if it cannot be replenished in time, it will have extremely severe consequences on the combat power.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Empire, the main work of the Ministry of Communications has been placed in the north. Now, the railway in the north has been basically completed, and the remaining branch lines still need to be slowly improved. However, in the south, only the former western Sichuan region has built a railway, and the rest of the regions are only provincial capitals that have railways. The development of the whole country is extremely uneven! Zhan Tianyou sighed.

"There is no way to do this, we don't have enough time, and from a strategic point of view, we can only give priority to the construction of railways in the north. Once we win this war. We'll have plenty of time to develop ourselves! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, I know!" Zhan Tianyou nodded.

"In addition, with the increasing number of domestic cars, 'Kunlun' brand trucks have also begun to be put into the market, and our highway construction cannot lag behind. In the future, the railway will mainly pass through the major cities in the country, and the areas below the city will have to be connected by guò road. Wang Yuze said. Kunlun' brand truck, is the automobile factory successfully developed a truck with a load of up to tons, once put into the market, it has been sought after by the rest. Now, car factories are working overtime to produce trucks, and at the same time, they are also developing trucks with higher loads. In addition, in order to expand the armament war, the military has also begun to increase the number of trucks ordered, which will enable China's automobile industry to develop rapidly. And this also requires that China's highway construction must keep up. Otherwise, backward transportation facilities will affect the development of the automobile industry. If the battleships of the Navy are the embodiment of the crystallization of a country's industrial technology, then the automobile is another sublimation of industrial technology. Now China has been able to build world-class battleships on its own, which makes the Chinese shipbuilding industry no longer lag behind other world powers. Although the automobile industry has developed relatively late, the www.biquge.info of Biquge is higher, which also makes China's automobile development at the world's leading level. These two aspects will greatly promote the development of China's industrial level.

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, the construction of dense road traffic requires a lot of money. Although the cabinet allocates a lot of funds for transportation construction every year, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the whole of China. If we want to establish sound road transportation, I am afraid we will need ten years, or even longer! Zhan Tianyou said.

"Don't worry, Zhan Aiqing. Whether it's 10 or 20 years, we'll stick to it. It's just that in the next year or two, because of the war, transportation construction will definitely be affected a little. But I promise that after the end of the war, the construction of transportation will develop even faster! Wang Yuze said. The truth that is known to later generations is also very practical in this day and age. The establishment of efficient and convenient transportation will greatly accelerate the circulation of materials and be conducive to the development of industry and commerce. However, the construction of infrastructure such as roads takes a long time and requires a lot of money and time. If war breaks out, all the people who have to invest in transportation construction will be greatly affected by the war, whether it is in terms of manpower or material resources. There is no way to do this, and when the time comes, it is necessary to unite the strength of the whole country to ensure victory in the war. The rest of the McDull needs to be placed on the back burner.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can understand!" Zhan Tianyou said. He was a man who knew what was important, even if his dream was to build railways and roads in China and improve transportation conditions. But he also knew that if the war was lost, there would be nothing left, let alone his transportation construction plan.

"Also, there is one thing that must be noted. Whether it is in the construction process of railways or highways, quality control must be strictly controlled. It is strictly forbidden to use shoddy products and cut corners. The Ministry of Supervision will also follow up, and if such a phenomenon is found, it will be severely punished! Wang Yuze said. He vividly remembers that in later generations, Japan's highways were much better in condition after a magnitude 9 earthquake than China's highways that had withstood heavy rains. Wang Yuze would never allow such a situation to occur in the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I promise to strictly follow your requests! Zhan Tianyou replied immediately. He also hated this phenomenon very much. In addition, Wang Yuze deliberately pointed out this point, which attracted his attention even more.

Wang Yuze nodded, he knew Zhan Tianyou's character, but he also knew that some things could not be avoided. The so-called policies and countermeasures are under the policy, and Zhan Tianyou, as the Minister of Transportation, must not be able to do everything himself, which will inevitably give some moths an opportunity to take advantage of. Only by strengthening the work of the Ministry of Supervision can we effectively prevent and control these phenomena. Although the Ministry of Supervision has only been established for more than two years, there are already thousands of corrupt officials arrested by the Ministry of Supervision, and half of them have been shot, which has greatly shocked officials at all levels of the empire. Coupled with the empire's implementation of a high-salary and incorruptible policy, even if you are not greedy for ink, an official's salary is enough for a family to live comfortably. In addition, the empire spares no effort in punishing these corrupt officials, which makes the officialdom of the empire much better.

On the Lunar New Year in the ninth year, Wang Yuze feasted his ministers, senior government officials and military tycoons all rushed to Beijing to attend the imperial banquet at the imperial palace. Everyone is usually on their own side, and it is just a good time to connect with each other. In addition, the formation of an alliance between several hostile nations caused quite a stir among the officials of the Empire. Although, this did not make everyone timid, but it also made everyone nervous. The generals of the military have all received orders to actively prepare for war. However, for most generals, this meant that they had the opportunity to go to the battlefield and win the battle, which made them very excited, and they couldn't wait for the battle to start immediately.

At the beginning of February, just after the New Year, Wang Yuze appeared at the General Staff Headquarters. Starting this year, the entire empire will be in intense preparations, and he will have much less time to accompany him.

"Long live Your Majesty, give Your Majesty a good old age!" As soon as Wang Yuze arrived at the General Staff Headquarters, Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu, Minister of War Cai Yun, Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng, Commander of the Home Fleet Deng Shichang, and Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo were already waiting there.

"Happy New Year everyone! Let's go to the conference room! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

When they arrived at the conference room, after everyone was done, Wang Yuze said: "I called everyone here today for a plan. As early as two years ago, we were planning to do something to Spain's Asian colonies, the Philippines, Guam, and the Mariana Islands. These islands are of great strategic importance. Together with Hawaii, which has already been controlled by us, it will form the Empire's maritime barrier in the Pacific. Therefore, we must seize these colonies as soon as possible! ”

"Your Majesty, now that we are facing threats from the United States, Japan, and Russia, as well as from Britain and France, can we spare Spain for the time being, and wait until we have won this decisive war before we attack Spain. Although Spain has declined, it is also an old country in Europe. Friendship with the European powers, if we seize the Spanish colonies, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble! Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo reminded.

"Don't worry at all, Spain is no longer the world's top power. Their domestic industrial and economic development is slow, and their armaments are even more depleted, and they are no match for us at all. And the time set by the Pacific Alliance to start a war with the Empire is 900 years, and they will certainly not go to war against us sooner, let alone for the sake of the Spaniards. So, we don't have to be afraid. What's more, according to the information received from the Military Intelligence Agency, the Americans are also actively preparing to make a move against Spain, and they are already targeting Spain's colonies in the Caribbean. In that case, then we have seized Spain's Asian colonies! Wang Yuze said undoubtedly.

Everyone reached Wang Yuze's resoluteness, and they no longer persuaded him. Moreover, since even the United States is ready to take action against Spain, China will certainly not give up this opportunity to take advantage of the fire.
