When the Soviet Foreign Affairs Representative to the Republic of China, Garahan, met with Li Yuanhong again, hoping to use China's railway network to deliver food to the country for disaster relief, Yang Qiu had already arrived at the military fortress base in the northwestern corner of the motherland.

The Angara and Yenisei rivers form a right angle, separating China from the Soviet Union. A natural mountain range plunges directly into the center of this right-angled area from Lake Belga, which is the Eastern Sayan Ridge. Together with the Western Sayan Mountains on the border of Uriya Sutai Province, it forms a natural defensive barrier of the two rivers and two ridges in the northwest corner of the motherland. Compared with Kazakhstan and Almaty, which are flat, there are more options for the construction of defense facilities here.

Located at the end of the East Sayan Mountains, Iyar is the hub station of Zhan Tianyou's dream of the North and West Lines of the Circum-China Railway, from where the railway descends at right angles to the south. On the railway line, a series of migrant trains have continuously injected fresh blood into the northwest. After the disaster in Hebei deepened, Yang Qiu simply ordered the evacuation of the disaster area, and in order to continue the work of resettlement and border resettlement, he planned to remove 2 million families from Henan and Hebei respectively. Thanks to the acquisition of millions of square kilometers of land and the clearing of the population on it many times, enough space has been freed up to ensure a population of more than 30 million, although this work cannot be completed in one or two years, but in five to ten years.

Fifty kilometers west of the railway station is the strategic town of the wide Yenisei River, Krasnoyarsk, ceded by Russia in the Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty. Although it is located by the river, it is considered that the terrain is flat after crossing the river. Therefore, the East Sayan Ridge Fortress, where the east and west of the northwestern defense belt meet, was actually built at the end of the East Sayan Ridge Mountains, 20 kilometers west of Kayar and 30 kilometers behind Krasnoyarsk.

According to the Ministry of Defense plan. A total of 7 base-type fortresses need to be built in the northwest, which will be renumbered as base fortresses No. 1 to 7 in the Far East, corresponding to Irkutsk, Eastern Sayanling, Karakum, Aksu (on the dividing line between Zhambyl and Almaty in the southern section of Lake Balkhash), Shaye, Andijan, and Gorno (Tajikistan). Each main fortress is 400 kilometers apart, and it once protected the border in a semi-arc around the northwest border, and in addition to the main fortress, many auxiliary small fortresses and fortifications were built in the middle relying on mountains and rivers. Of course, a ring fortress group like the Maginot Line is not possible. Therefore, these fortresses mainly exist as strategic support points. Each fortress was required to be able to accommodate two infantry divisions and hold out for at least a month without foreign support, and to rely on the 400-kilometer radius of the railway when it was not surrounded.

The project was costly. The total budget is as high as 2 billion yuan, and about 200 million yuan is needed every year, so there are quite a lot of objections from the National Assembly. But the army insisted on building it. And he was willing to cut the annual equipment procurement cost of 50 million yuan to maintain the construction, and Yang Qiu also promised to divide part of the proceeds from the Soviet territory east of the Yenisei River to this project, so the construction speed was not slow.

At present, 30 percent of the Far East No. 2 East Sayanling Fortress Base has been completed, and it is mainly auxiliary projects such as logistics, housing, airports, and railways, and the main defense items are still under intense construction. In the training field in the center of the base, tens of thousands of soldiers were crowded with black pressure, and many people even brought stools to climb the big trees, just to watch the football match in the middle.

This is a rare spectacle, because on one side of the confrontation is the 124th Army Mixed Division football team led by the commander-in-chief, and on the opposite side is the 11th Air Force Brigade stationed in the fortress that boasts that it is the king of the ball all day long.

"Over, over, over, over. Shoot! ”

In the past, Yang Qiu loved to play football when he was in the army, and he was punished several times in order to watch the World Cup, but now he has come back to face a group of rookies who have learned a little fur, and his skills can be called Pele's level. I saw him make a sharp stop, a little football on his toes to stop it, and suddenly turned sideways in the face of the opponent who pounced. Like a monkey, he dodged and rushed towards the goal.

This string of modern football moves suddenly caused a sensation in the audience, and the soldiers of the 124th Division of the Lu 124 Division, who had lost many times on weekdays, all looked at the football with their eyes, and when Yang Qiu suddenly kicked the ball through the crotch to his teammates who were less than three meters away from the goal, and blasted open the gate with a powerful direct shot, the whole field suddenly exploded.

"Come in! Haha birdie, it's three to zero! The little bird didn't drink Cuihua's milk when she went out today. Wow click. Yes! usually bullied us, but did you see it, when the commander-in-chief came, it was all wilted. ”

"That's the commander-in-chief, it's not easy to do it."

"Fuck you, your skills are not as good as others and you quibble, watch Lao Tzu fly his feet."

Yang Qiu, who was wearing undershirts in the stadium, high-fived everyone in celebration, and the "birds" of the aviation team who were ridiculed by the army on the opposite side hung their heads, and deafening cheers erupted all around, and even senior officers such as Cai Ye and Wu Peifu were infected and applauded loudly.

Li Liejun, commander of the 124th Lu Division, also secretly admired Yang Qiu's ability to integrate into the soldiers, you must know that in the past, whether it was Beiyang or the Kuomintang, officers always conducted training when they inspected the troops, and acted to satisfy the leaders, but Yang Qiu liked this way and took the initiative to walk among the soldiers. Don't look at it as a trick, but he can assure him that the soldiers love him more.

"Let's go."

Murong Han finally squeezed away the enthusiastic soldiers, and when he saw that Yang Qiu was still on the field, he handed the telegram to Cai Yi, and whispered in his ear: "It's an urgent call from Nanjing." ”

Cai Ye was surprised, what is the big deal in Nanjing at this time? After reading it, his eyes also condensed. This was sent by Li Yuanhong, and yesterday Garrahan went to see him and said that he hoped to use the Chinese channel to transport grain back to China for disaster relief.

It is no secret that the Soviet Union has a grain shortage, and Britain and France have recently seized the opportunity to vigorously encircle and intercept grain destined for Moscow, in order to completely strangle the poor party. What made him wonder was why he went to China? Standing at a strategic height for many years, he has developed a pair of fine gold eyes, and asked: "Why don't you look for Japan but transit from our country?" Didn't Japan build a fleet of ships specifically for trade between the two countries? Where does their food come from? If you buy from the United States, you should go to the Atlantic. Moreover, the railway from Yekaterinaburg to Barnaul was completely destroyed, and there was still a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers to Barnau. Central Siberia is all plateaus, and it is laborious to walk without railway pack horses, and it is completely far away to quench the thirst of the near. ”

Murong Han secretly admired Cai Ye's vision. Tell all the news I know: "At the beginning of last month, the Japanese fleet had gone south through the Strait of Malacca, a total of 21 ships, all of which were mechanical equipment. Crown Prince Hirohito has instructed Nagata Tetsuyama to take charge of this matter, and he is determined to do business with the Soviet Union to make up for the shortage of domestic resources. Although Britain agreed, it only allowed ordinary machinery and equipment, and grain and high-grade equipment were embargoed, so Japan could not pass through the Dardanelles if it wanted to transport grain.

As for food sources. The Security Service has detected signs of the Poor Party's entry into the South Seas, led by Marin and Vychensky, who had been active in the Dutch East Indies in the early years, and Shumyatsky had also arrived on the island of Sumatra five days ago with a number of soldiers disguised as caravans. Borneo and Luzon should also have people. But it has not been detected yet. So the Security Bureau speculated that the grain might have been provided by Nanyang merchants who were sympathetic to the poor party.

Galahan means, not to go to the Barnaul Plateau. Change the Baoku line, pass through Beihai Province and go south from us to Jaisangpo (East Kazakhstan). Upon arrival, they transferred to the narrow track leading to the Karaganda iron ore mines, and then they organized a team of pack horses to travel through the Kazakh steppes around the Siberian plateau back to Orenburg. The distance can be shortened by 400 km, and the Orenburg-Volga railway can be used. ”

Cai Yi nodded, this is indeed the best grain transportation channel at present. After the Karakan iron ore mine was bought, it has been handed over to the Northwest Iron and Steel Group, and with the construction of the Northwest Railway to Andijan, the original emergency laying of narrow gauges has been used for the ore railway from Karakum to the iron ore, and because of the large number of narrow gauges, it has been built into a parallel double line, which has been transported to Karakum and transferred to the Longhai line to Urumqi, and the daily transportation volume has more than doubled. It can support large-scale grain transportation.

If you really want to say that he has no problem with sending it back for disaster relief, the existence of the Soviet Union is beneficial to China, and they can attract the main attention of Britain and the United States, so as not to continue to make trouble in the Far East. What really worries him is Nanyang! Yang Qiu had already decided to march into the South Seas, and Japan took control of Guinea and Rabaul. One foot has reached the edge of the South Seas, and now Moscow has stepped in again, and if it continues, I am afraid that the situation will seriously spiral out of control.

"What do you think?"

Cai Ye asked Murong Han's opinion. The latter has been following the development of the USSR in the Northwest all these years. said: "I can't see the name for a short time, after all, they are still in the recovery period, and Lenin's successor has not yet been decided, I don't think there is any need to worry about them meddling in Nanyang at least 30 years ago." But from a long point of view. If the Soviet Union and Japan want to really join forces against us, they will definitely have to intervene in the South Seas.

In recent years, the poor party has always hoped to launch a world revolution and form a wave to attack Britain and the United States and us. In Europe, they have to face the blockade of Britain, France and the United States, and the market is too small. Originally, they were going to develop eastward, but the east is now cut off by us, and if they want to export, they must open the passage between Persia, Afghanistan and India, connect the South Seas region and reopen the eastward route.

Both Persia and Afghanistan are poor and remote areas, and both are areas of traditional British influence, and the poor party is very marketable. India is complex, and the religious forces in both places are very strong, and it is very likely that Moscow will use them to incite them. As for the fact that the Nanyang colonists can use the natives to kill us Chinese, not to mention that the ideology of the poor party is more inflammatory, if it develops for a period of time, I am afraid it will be very bad!

If Moscow can open up Persia, it will be able to export ideas to the Caspian Sea and North Africa, and if the South Seas can also be opened, it will be able to reach Australia and even South America. This is the path they must take! Lenin, Tonotsky and Stalin were not fools, and it was impossible to accept the fate of being isolated from the world for a long time, not to mention that the construction of the country could not be supported by ordinary machinery and equipment provided by Japan, so it was the fastest and best way to launch a world revolution and then import funds and resources. So I think that if we don't exercise moderation, maybe there will be a turmoil in the South Seas in ten years! ”

Murong Han is a typical Great China thinker, and he is incompatible with Gu Weijun and other Anglo-American schools of thought, and even he will say a word about the Nanyang turmoil, which shows that the situation is serious.

Cai Ye slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, but then disappeared and showed a look of pity: "This game of chess is getting more and more interesting, in 10 years, I'm afraid that Central Asia, Persia, India and the South Seas will make trouble, but it's a pity, I don't know if I can see that day." After finishing speaking, he took the telegram and walked towards Yang Qiu, who had already finished the game.

Murong Han was shocked when he heard this, looked at his somewhat thin back, and sighed slightly in his heart, Cai Yi's body is probably really bad...... (To be continued.)
