Zhang Shusheng was very pleased that this victory was not only a military victory, but also an important victory in defending the homeland and defending the country's homeland.

Since that war, the Chinese Air Force has successively begun to carry out night bombardments on cities of all sizes.

Dozens of cities, with its super-large range, the Chinese Air Force is completely bombing itself in the form of guerrilla warfare.

Today it is some cities on the island of Kyushu, tomorrow it will be some cities on the island of Shikoku, and the day after tomorrow it may become Hokshu Island or Hokkaido.

In short, the Chinese Air Force has been bullying the Chinese army to death by relying on its long flight range, flight altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and night bombing.

Throughout February, the army was completely under passive attack, and even the military headquarters were moved to the basement for a long time, and the people of the country were even more terrified, saying that those who might have been clamoring for peace in China during the First Sino-Japanese War or the war of aggression against China finally tasted the bitter fruits of the war spreading across the sea and rushing to the mainland.

Although the Chinese planes urgently mobilized night combat planes, and even received a large number of night combat equipment and night combat planes directly loaded by the Americans, the results were always not ideal; the Chinese were not like the Germans, who always bombed London and several other important targets at fixed points; the Chinese night attack aircraft group was city by city, bombing here today, bombing there tomorrow, running away if it was bombed, and then dispatching again at night.

As a result, China's long-range bombing air force flew out to bomb itself at night, and its own aircraft group was dispatched during the day, and then engaged in protracted air battles over the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, the Far East, and the Sino-North Korean border.

At its worst, he lost 2 to 300 fighters a day, and by March, almost half of his own planes were new planes, most of which came from the Americans.

In March, the spring thunder was especially rolling, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where Hanjing was located were baptized by a spring rain like a new life, and Zhang Shusheng's mood was also exceptionally good.

"Chairman!"

As soon as it rained lightly in the morning, several military and political dignitaries from the base camp came to Zhang Shusheng's office for a meeting.

This simple meeting was specially arranged because Zhang Shusheng was about to set off to inspect the preliminary work of a science and technology project.

According to the usual practice, every time Zhang Shusheng left Beijing, the affairs of the Hanjing base camp had to be temporarily taken care of by the Supreme Power Committee.

In addition to military and political dignitaries, this supreme power committee also has Sun Changjiu, Sun Laixi and his son, as well as He Ning and Lu Yunyan, which can be regarded as taking into account both collective and Zhang Shusheng's personal factors.

Major matters still have to be consulted remotely, but minor matters can be voted on by the Supreme Power Council.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Shusheng's secretary boiled tea and withdrew.

"Siran, can you give us a brief introduction to the air battle and the bombing." Zhang Shusheng motioned to Fan Siran to say simply.

Fan Siran nodded, got up and walked to the map, pointed to the area in the middle of the middle of the city and said, "At present, the strategic bombing has been continuing, and in more than a month, almost all the big cities in the city have been bombed by us. From the industrial point of view, the most severely damaged are the shipbuilding industry, large military factories, energy and chemical industries, which cannot be carried out in family workshops. In particular, almost all shipyards have been blown up, and the shipbuilding capacity of the company has fallen to the level of a few decades ago.

Most of Tokyo is in ruins, and according to figures released by the Americans, more than 2 million people have been killed or injured in Tokyo alone. In the near future, our main targets have shifted to industry, energy, transportation, as well as barracks, political axes, etc.

In terms of large-scale air battles, we bombed at night, and we said that we took off fighter planes to take revenge during the day, and fighting broke out over the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, over the Sino-North Korean border, and in other areas such as the Far East and Northeast China......"

After listening to the introduction, everyone present was overjoyed, and Zhang Shusheng also smiled and said, "I am regarded as an important member of the Allied Powers, but I am the shortest piece of wood on the bucket, so it is of great help to us to weaken my war potential as soon as possible and lose the combat strength of the Allied Powers." Of course, we should be happy when we say that we are suffering. ”

"Yes, I heard that I was so angry that I could not instigate the Allies to attack us in the Far East, and I was unable to launch an attack on the border between China and North Korea, so I had to jump up and down in Southeast Asia. However, Clark valued his own initiative and prepared to launch a fierce summer offensive. ”

Jiang Baili said.

Zhang Shusheng: "The summer in Southeast Asia is very difficult, and the allies seem to be eager to open up the situation in Southeast Asia. He said that he has nearly one million troops in Southeast Asia, but he also has some capital, and it is necessary to strengthen our deployment in Southeast Asia. ”

"Yes, Chairman, our General Staff will draw up a reinforcement plan later." Jiang Baili said.

Everyone talked about the war and the livelihood of the people at home, and then mentioned Zhang Shusheng's trip. Zhang Shusheng didn't say much, and after arranging some matters as usual, everyone left.

…… The next day, Zhang Shusheng flew a specially modified military plane to the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, where a China Desert Research Center was established under the Supreme Council for Science and Technology.

The plane landed at a military airfield near Taklamakan and then took a helicopter to the Desert Research Center, which is said to be one of the ten worst research institutes in the country, completely surrounded by desert.

The entire research institute is surrounded by a fence several meters high, and the area in front of it is also very large, the size of several football fields, but there are not many buildings in the research institute, just a few buildings, and the rest is actually land, a piece of land with green plants that has been enclosed.

Outside the institute is a large desert that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, but inside it is surrounded by several pieces of land the size of a football field, some of which have trees several meters high, some of which have clumps of grass, some of which have crickets of cactus, some of which have layers of moss-like things, and some of which have a dwarf fruit tree, and a half-human-high fruit tree that has fruit on it.

If you look closely, these plants or crops are not familiar varieties on the earth today, some plants like 'cactus' can find many similarities in the earth's varieties, and some of them feel very strange.

And if you dig into the woods or the vegetation and peel back the vegetation, you can see the sand dunes that are gradually solidifying below.

This is a desert test field built on a desert!

Liang Huaran, the director of the research center, was in a test desert, and a hairy young man beside him was his assistant. The staff of the institute wore hats and worked in the desert fields under the evening sun, checking the production of plants, recording some data, and taking some test specimens.

"The growth of the dune fruit is very good, and according to this growth, there is no problem with the fruit three times a year."

Liang Huaran stood in front of the half-human-tall dune fruit plant, although the fist-sized fruit on it was still wrapped in cyan skin, there were already some signs of cracking, according to the production law of this dune fruit, once the outermost layer of the peel was broken, it was a sign of maturity.

"Director Liang, is this dune fruit really as delicious as you say?"

Yu Jiang, a young man with a hairy head, is a graduate student in botany who has just graduated from Southwest University, and has passed the examinations with full honors and has become an assistant to this research institute, and by the way he is studying for a doctorate in botany.

"yes, it tastes great. The fruit is larger than walnuts, and if eaten raw, the taste is slightly harder, but when fried or ground into powder, the nutrition and taste are several times better than walnuts.

It's a pity that the previous generations of dune fruits have not been localized and improved, there are some problems in taste and nutrition, and the fruits have also been destroyed. ”

Liang Huaran gently rubbed the sand dune fruit in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the long talk between Chairman Zhang Shusheng and himself all night.

"Avatar! Whenever I think of the endless desert and wasteland, I feel like we should do something. Large swaths of desert and barren land sit idle in vain due to the strong sunlight, lack of water on the surface, and the large temperature difference between day and night. And our people have to move to Siberia to earn a living in order to earn a living.

From a scientific point of view, if these deserts and wastelands, even the Gobi Desert and rocky mountains, can one day be dressed in green, and even grow plants, crops, and fruit trees, then the phenomenon of desertification will be alleviated, and a series of natural problems will be effectively controlled. Our country will have an incalculable amount of usable and viable land.

As one of the best botanists in our country, you should know that there are many undiscovered plant varieties in this world, or in other words, one or several plant varieties have special surnames, and if they are integrated through research and improvement, we can obtain new plants.

Now, our science and technology committee has preliminarily obtained some special plant samples, and we can use them to carry out scientific experiments and innate the seeds, and we can study new varieties of plants suitable for deserts, barren lands, and even the Gobi Desert......"

That night the conversation continued until dawn.

What surprised Liang Huaran was not these strange plant species, but what shocked him was the grand future of the research described by the chairman.

As the most famous botanist in China at that time, the young Zhuang botanist who had considerable research in hybridization, genetics, botany, and life science was attracted by the blueprint described by the chairman of the committee.

Without any superfluous thoughts, he resolutely took his wife, a female scientist in botany and bacteria, to the largest desert in China with a research team, built a base with the help of the army, and hung up the sign of the China Desert Research Institute.

"Director, that's ......"

"Director! Director!! Garrison Colonel Chen's phone ......"

Yu Jiang wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by a shouting in the distance.

As soon as he heard that it was a call from Colonel Chen Gang, the commander of the garrison, Liang Huaran hurried back and answered the phone.

"What? You said that the chairman of the committee would come here in person!! ……”

Liang Huaran only felt that he was inexplicably surprised that the chairman of the committee was about to come to this research center located in the desert.
