"Central Asia is very rich in resources, oil, natural gas, as well as various metal deposits and rare metals, which are innumerable, which are essential for our future industrial development." Wang Yi paused for a moment, and then said, "You still don't have to count on using uranium ore to make super weapons for the time being, but the resources I mentioned alone are enough for us to fight a war for them." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "What the captain said is that the timing is also good, we have just completed the decisive battle with the Russians, although in order to prevent the counterattack of the Russian army, we still have to station a large number of troops on the front line, but Mongolia needs to take some precautions on the western and southern fronts, and it is completely possible to draw out an infantry division." ”

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "There's no need, we don't need to let the insurance team appear in Guangfu Town now, aren't there many wounded on the battlefield this time?" You select a batch of them, and when they recover and are healthy, they will be transferred to Guangfu Town on a voluntary basis. The cavalry is not very good over there, and they need the help of infantry and artillery. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when he heard it, the kind of wounded people in the insurance team who can recover their health are all in demand, to put it bluntly, everyone likes that their subordinates are veterans who will not die in a hundred battles. Therefore, in this regard, the divisions and regiments are keeping a very close eye on him, don't look at him Wang Xiaoxiao is the chief of the general staff, but if too many wounded are really drawn out of the ward, the division commanders under him may not know how to scold behind their backs.

It's just that with Wang Yi's orders, Wang Xiaoxiao naturally won't object, and besides, this is also the best way, so he asked, "Captain, how many people are you going to want?" ”

"According to the logistical situation over there, and the enemy to be faced, 1,000 infantry were transported in advance. As for the armament, we use our newly developed assault rifle, and then equip it with a Bo-1 squad machine gun and a Bo-1 sniper rifle, grenades, and a 60mm mortar. Wang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "As for the artillery, an artillery battalion was directly transferred from the mainland and four 203mm heavy guns were transported over to defend Guangfu Town. The rest are equipped with 75mm and 105mm guns, and if you really want to hit any military town or something, these guns are enough for the old scorpion. ”

Wang Xiao recorded Wang Yi's words, and at the same time looked at what was missing.

"In addition to infantry and artillery, captain, should we also send some engineers and communications troops to the old scorpion, and then send some people over in terms of logistics. It is best to build Guangfu Town into a large fortress, and also leave a bridgehead for us to send troops to Central Asia in the future. ”

Wang Yi thought about the map for a while, shook his head, and said: "It's not necessary for the time being, Central Asia is still the world of the Russians and the British, and the old scorpion Shen Qianwen is making a small fuss, doing some business, doing some bad things, and the two countries can still open one eye and close one eye." But if we build a large military fortress there with great fanfare, it will be clear that the old scorpions are our people, although we are not afraid of them, but for the sake of future development, there is no need to offend both sides. And the locals didn't necessarily welcome our strong involvement......"

Wang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and suddenly found that because of the growing strength of the Northeast Insurance Team, his eyes only cared about those powers, and completely ignored the survival of local residents. If a place wants to be stable for a long time, the most important thing is how to rule over its people. Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel ashamed that she had forgotten such an important matter.

"They are all Hui people, they believe in Islam, and they have contacts with our Xinjiang region, so they won't be hostile to us."

Originally, the inhabitants of Central Asia believed in their own shamanism or other primitive religions, but it was only after the Arab invasion that the entire region became Arabized, and Islam became the main religion here. But even so, in places such as the Kazakh Khanate, even if people believe in Islam, there are a lot of primitive beliefs of their own people mixed with them.

Wang Yi didn't answer him, as the chief of the general staff, Wang Xiaoxiao needs to become more comprehensive, control the overall situation, and truly make decisions thousands of miles away. However, this qiē Wang Yi can give him a limited amount of points, and a person's improvement still depends on his own initiative to learn.

"My subordinates are ashamed."

Wang Yi waved his hand and smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care. "No one is perfect, and only when you know your shortcomings can you become stronger. Let's talk about the current trend in Xinjiang. ”

"It is probably because of the actions of Russian Maozi in Xinjiang in recent years that attracted the attention of the capital, and the Qing court began to take precautions, intensified the construction of the state and county system, abolished the originally relatively loose Burke system and Zazak system, and established the same official rank system as the inland provinces.

"Oh? And such a thing? ”

Wang Xiao smiled and said: "Although this move is in the name of preventing the Russians from invading again, I also believe that this is the main reason, but it may not mean to prevent us." Although the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu and the general Ili related to the old scorpion are all capable people, the officials under them are just like that, whether they are civil ministers or military generals, most of them have long lost the courage they had when they entered the customs. The old scorpion walked over there, and the trade routes he opened up were also smashed out of silver. ”

Wang Yi didn't speak, Wang Xiaoxiao continued: "The current governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is named Tan Zhonglin, and the old man is also sixty and fifty this year. At the time of the Agubo Rebellion, he provided food and grass to Lord Zuo, which can be regarded as a meritorious minister for the country. Later, he was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang, because of the meritorious service in repairing the Wenyuan Pavilion, so he was transferred to the governor of Ganshan in 1881, which was regarded as taking over the previous position of the Zuo people. At present, he has a very high status in the Hunan army, second only to Zeng Guoquan and our old friend Yang Changjun, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The relationship with us, too, is harmonious because of Lord Zuo. The old scorpion has now opened the trade route of the Western Regions, and the tax revenue has increased, which is also a good thing for him to rule Shaanxi and Gansu, and now he is busy promoting agriculture, and the official reputation is generally good. ”

After taking a sip of water, Wang Xiaoxiao mentioned the current top administrative official in Xinjiang, General Yili - Seleng!

"Seleng is a capable person! The vision is not comparable to ordinary Qing court officials! Dahuli Guo Bell, Manchuria is a native of the White Banner, born in the military general's family, Xianfeng ten years (1860), followed his uncle General Du Xing'a and the Taiping Heavenly Army to fight in Jiangsu, Tongzhi three years (1864), and together with the Hui people to fight in Ningxia, Gansu, so meritorious, was destroyed and promoted to the deputy capital. In the third year of Guangxu (1877), he served as the deputy governor of Chengdu, and in the second month of the summer calendar of the fifth year (1879), he was appointed as the deputy minister of the deputy capital in Tibet, and in the same year, he was promoted to the minister of affairs in Tibet (the chief official of Tibet). In 1885, the year before last, he was transferred to the post of Minister of Debate of Kulen, and now he is General Ili. ”
