Chapter 301: All for Uranium Ore

On the map, the approximate arrangement of the countries of Central Asia from east to west is the Kokand Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate, and the Khiva Khanate. To the east of the Kokand Khanate was the Qing Dynasty's Xinjiang, while to the west of the Khiva Khanate was the Caspian Sea. The northern part of the three Han states was enveloped by one state, and that was the Kazakh Khanate. To the southeast are Kashmir and Afghanistan. To the southwest is Persia, that is, Iran.

However, now Central Asia has completely become the hunting ground of the imperialist powers, and the entire region has been completely redivided. Among them, the Kazakh Khanate and the Kokand Khanate have been completely annexed by the Russian Empire, and the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate have also become vassal states of the Russian Empire. Persia is now the Qajar Dynasty, but the situation is similar to that of the Qing Dynasty when Wang Yi did not cross, and it is completely a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Russia and Britain divided it into three parts: northern, central, and southern. The north was the Russian sphere of influence, the south was the British sphere of influence, and the central part was a buffer zone. Afghanistan was originally a Persian territory and gradually became independent. However, it was not until Persia and Britain fought three wars in the early days of the Qajar dynasty, and Persia was defeated and reparated with the land, that Afghanistan's independent status was officially recognized. Afghanistan at this time was dominated by the Barak dynasty, during which the British launched the first war of aggression against Afghanistan from 1839 to 1842, but suffered a crushing defeat. From 1879 to 1880, Britain launched a second war of aggression against Afghanistan, forcing Afghanistan to sign the Treaty of Gandamak, and Afghanistan lost its diplomatic rights and became a vassal of Britain. Finally, there is Kashmir, which has been the territory of the Celestial Empire since the Yuan Dynasty and is under the jurisdiction of Tibet. But then the British invaded, and the Kashmiri princes asked Tibet for help, but at that time, the Qing Dynasty was busy with the first Opium War and was unable to rescue at all, so it was gradually occupied by the British and became their sphere of influence. However, the Qing central government, the minister in Tibet, and the local government of Tibet did not recognize its occupied status. Of course, it doesn't matter if you admit it or not.

The overall situation in Central Asia as a whole is a north-south confrontation between Britain and Russia, in which other powers are also pursuing their own interests.

Now that the old scorpion has been born, he has built a place called Guangfu Town on the original territory of Xinjiang occupied by Russia, and he is like a nail stuck in the fingers of the Russians. The Russians sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but instead of destroying it, they made Guangfu Town grow stronger and stronger, and its status in the hearts of border herdsmen increased day by day, and many small tribes, even medium tribes that were not very well mixed, also moved to Fuxing Town. Of course, the Northeast Insurance Team engaged the Russians on the frontal battlefield, and indeed pinned down a lot of the Russians' troops. Let them have no intention of fighting, after all, this place is indeed very far away from the mainland.

The dialogue between Wang Xiaoxiao, chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, and Wang Yi continued, and he only listened to Wang Xiaoxiao: "The Kazakh Khanate can be roughly divided into three parts, namely the small Yuz, the middle Yuz and the big Yuz, also called the small tent, the middle tent and the big tent. In fact, the Kazakh Khanate is a union of three small khanates, and the three Yuz have their own khan kings, and there is a big khan king on them. The small and middle Yuz were annexed by the Russians very early, and many of the population were forcibly relocated by the Russians, so let's leave it alone. The Great Yuz was annexed in 1847, when the Khan of the Great Yuz was killed in battle, although it has been a long time since now, but because of the national policy of the Russians, the hardline and repression of the Kazakhs, decades of rule have not eased the hatred between the two. ”

"Tell me about the current situation of Da Yuzi." Wang Yi commanded.

Wang Xiaoxiao pointed to the map and said: "The land between Lake Balkhash and our Xinjiang to the east and south is Dayuz, which is located in the southeast of the Kazakh Khanate. Originally, it was also our territory, and during the Qianlong Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong pacified Dzungaria, as well as the Great and Small and Zhuo Rebellion, and the three Yuzi became our vassals at that time. Emperor Qianlong also agreed that their herdsmen would move back to our Xinjiang for grazing, mainly in Ataile, Tacheng (Talhabatai), Yili and other places. The reason why it has now become Russian territory is that Tsarist Russia has taken possession of the territory of more than 440,000 square kilometers of the three large lakes in the western border of China, namely Lake Balkhash, Zaisampo, and Issyk-Kul, together with the vast surrounding areas. We in the Northeast have never recognized these things that have lost power and humiliated the country, and the Outer Northeast that we lost in the "Beijing Treaty" has been beaten back by us, and we will naturally not let go of these lands lost in Central Asia. ”

The position of chief of the general staff of the Northeast Insurance Team, whether it is the first Wu Xiao or the current Wang Xiaoxiao, is a typical war maniac and a Great China ist. It's just that compared with Xiang Long's straight people, they are more subtle, and of course they have more schemes.

Wang nodded, he really had the impression that the lake was divided into east and west, and the more peculiar thing was that the east lake was a saltwater lake and the west lake was a freshwater lake, so he replied: "This is nature, there are resources we need over there." Not to mention that it was our land in the first place, and even if it wasn't, I wouldn't give it away. ”

What resources do we need? Wang Xiaoxiao was slightly suspicious, he couldn't understand that with the current territory of the Northeast, coupled with the Qing Dynasty, what else might be lacking in the Northeast in this world.

"Captain, do we still have scarce resources?"

"Uranium mines! This is one of the most important energy sources in the future, and it also has a wide range of applications in medicine. Of course, more importantly, uranium ore is also an important raw material for the manufacture of future superweapons. ”

In the first two points, Wang Xiao was so small that he didn't care, but as soon as he heard Wang Yi talk about super weapons, it was like turning on the switch of his eyes in an instant, and his eyes lit up.

"Superweapons?"

"That's right, it's so powerful that you can't imagine it, and when the number reaches a certain level, it's enough to completely destroy us humans."

"Grandma's!" On weekdays, at least on the surface, Wang Xiaoxiao, who seems to be polite and polite, actually scolded a foul word. "Captain, do you mean that if this thing is really made, give Mao Zi a few, it will be enough for them to cut off their children and grandchildren?"

Wang Yiyi smiled and did not answer.

However, Wang Xiaoxiao naturally did not give up lightly, and continued to ask: "Captain, with our military scientific research capabilities in the northeast, can this weapon you say be able to be made within two or three years?" ”

Wang Yizheng picked up the teacup and drank water, and when he heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of water, shook his head, and said with a smile: "You kid don't point to this weapon, don't say two or three years, it's just another ten, and if it can be developed, let's burn high incense." ”
