"I mention that the First Cavalry Corps will be stationed in Qinghai and Gansu provinces, and the Second Cavalry Corps will prepare to enter Xinjiang to fight. In the spring of next year, it will officially enter Xinjiang and wipe out the Qing army entrenched there. At the same time, beware of the attempts of the Russians on Xinjiang. If the Russians rush to attack, they must launch a stern counterattack! Wang Yuze said. He is familiar with history, and until the Russians have never stopped their ambitions for China's Xinjiang. The Manchus had already been forced to cede territory around Lake Balkhash, and now they wanted to annex Xinjiang even further. The Ili general, set up by the Manchus, was simply armed in front of the Russians. If Zuo Zongtang hadn't led the army to recover Xinjiang, Xinjiang would have been separated from China long ago. Therefore, Wang Yuze will never allow such a thing to happen again.

In addition, although Xinjiang has extensive deserts, it is rich in oil and natural gas resources. In the era of the internal combustion engine, these are essential and important energy sources. Originally, there were not many domestic oil resources, and they could not be discarded. At the same time, Xinjiang is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, and its geographical location is very important. If western Sichuan wants to enter Central Asia in the future, it must march from Xinjiang. Therefore, Xinjiang must be in the hands of western Sichuan.

"The Manchus did not have many troops in Xinjiang. However, the geographical conditions in Xinjiang are very harsh, and if you enter Xinjiang, the logistics supply lines will be very fragile. Xiong Wu raised his hesitation. In a place where the desert is widespread, it is obviously impossible to fight on a large scale. Otherwise, logistical pressure would be enough to put the army to death.

"I know that. Therefore, I hope that the army will be able to march in a step-by-step manner. Sufficient supplies, talking about the elimination of the Qing army. After taking Xinjiang, the Ministry of Communications also needs to consider building a railway from Lanzhou to Yili. So that we can expand into Central Asia in the future! Wang Yuze said.

His remark made the eyes of everyone present light up. At present, western Sichuan is still working hard to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and unify the whole country. But Wang Yuze has already thought about future expansion. Moreover, Central Asia is now Russia's territory, and Russia is not easy to mess with, and it is one of the great powers in the world. But. Everyone here believes that with the strength of western Sichuan, it is not much inferior to Russia. After the reunification of China, it will inevitably have disputes with Russia. If you plan now, you can effectively prepare for the future.

"Well, if there is no problem. Let's draw up a plan for the general staff headquarters to march into Xinjiang! At the same time, Zhao Bowen was ordered to return to Chengdu, and I will see him in person! Wang Xiao said. Entering Xinjiang is a big event, and it is also a chore. He personally summoned Zhao Bowen, and he was also able to show the importance he attached to this action.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Xiong Wu commanded.

Ten days later, Zhao Bowen, the commander of the Second Cavalry Army, rushed back to Chengdu from Xi'an. Now that the change of guard of the various units has begun, the entire western Sichuan army has begun to get busy. This action also attracted the attention of the Manchus, for fear that western Sichuan would attack the Manchus again. The current Manchu Qing Dynasty could not resist the attack of western Sichuan at all.

Wang Xiao and Wang Yuze. met with Zhao Bowen together. He explained in detail the importance of Xinjiang to western Sichuan. Although it was very difficult to march into Xinjiang, the Second Cavalry Army must do its best to take Xinjiang.

Zhao Bowen also promised that he would not disappoint the trust of the marshal and the young marshal, and that all the officers and men of the Second Cavalry Army would overcome all difficulties and incorporate Xinjiang into the territory of western Sichuan.

Next, the General Staff Headquarters drew up a detailed battle plan for the march into Xinjiang, and Zhao Bowen served as the military general for the march into Xinjiang. It was also included in the development of the plan. At the same time, the Logistics Department also supplemented the Second Cavalry Corps. Whether it is personnel or weapons, they are replenished as soon as possible. Make sure that the time to enter Xinjiang is not affected.

In the following days, Wang Yuze shuttled between the General Staff Headquarters and the Prime Minister's Office every day. After the establishment of the Cabinet in Western Sichuan, a prime minister's office was built next to the Patrol Embassy. In addition to Prime Minister Leong Heung-rong's residence, there is a five-storey building that serves as the office space for the ministries. On the one hand, Wang Yuze also participated in the formulation of the battle plan for the invasion of Xinjiang, and on the other hand, he also participated in the work of the government as a major marshal, which can be regarded as familiarizing himself with the operation of the government in advance.

In addition, in February, there is also a happy event. After Wang Yuze's hard work, the eldest lady Xiong Menghan was finally found to be pregnant. This made the entire tour embassy and even western Sichuan fall into joy. After the young marshal, this is the blood of the Wang family on the surface, and the rule of western Sichuan will be more stable. However, there are also people who are a little disappointed. The second lady, Yang Shilan, originally wanted to compete with Xiong Menghan in this regard, but her stomach was not angry, so there was no way, so she had to extinguish the ambition in her heart and concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the embassy. After the housekeeper Wang Quan became the Minister of the Interior, Wang Yuze's eldest wife and second lady were responsible for the affairs of the embassy. After Xiong Menghan became pregnant, she was even more asked to rest well, and these things fell on Yang Shilan's shoulders. Fortunately, Yang Shilan is from a family, and her own ability is also very strong, but she can also manage the huge patrol embassy in an orderly manner.

After learning that Xiong Menghan was pregnant, Wang Xiao was also overjoyed, and her spirit was very good. has always cooperated with the doctor's treatment, saying that no matter what, he will not die until his grandson is born. It's not in vain that he's worked hard all his life.

In addition to the General Staff Headquarters and the Prime Minister's Office, Wang Yuze's most diligent place is the West Sichuan Academy of Sciences. A large number of top scientists from western Sichuan and the world have gathered here. As a result, the research in some aspects of western Sichuan has come to the forefront of the world. In order to keep abreast of the dynamics here, Wang Yuze takes time to visit here once a week. Today is the day of the miniaturization test of wireless telegraphy, and Wang Yuze rushed to the West Sichuan Academy of Sciences with Wang Wei early in the morning. After being checked by the guards, he was allowed to enter.

"Is this a wireless telegraph?" Wang Yuze looked at a boxy black box in front of him, with some buttons and indicators on it.

"Yes, Your Excellency, this is our miniaturized wireless telegraph." Russian scientist ** Fu introduced. At the age of eighteen, he developed the ability to remotely control the explosion of explosives with wires, and then began to study radio communications. The people of Kawanishi found him and brought him to Kawanishi. After receiving a large amount of money and theoretical knowledge from Kawanishi, he finally succeeded in developing radio communication this year, and completed the miniaturization of radio communications, which can be equipped in the army. Significantly earlier than the American Tesla. The improvement of telecommunications technology will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the armed forces.

"Young marshal, you don't know, the first prototype built by Mr. ** Fu is a big guy, hundreds of kilograms." Cai Yun also smiled. Because this technology will have a great impact on the military, the giants of the military are also present.

Western Sichuan had already perfected the cable telegraph, but when attacking, it still had to rely on signal troops to deliver messages on horseback. If you had a radio, it would be much more convenient.

Subsequently, the ** husband carried out the real yàn. Communications were carried out at the Academy of Sciences using radios and a radio from the General Staff Headquarters. Although they were only ten kilometers apart, they were successful.

"Mr. **Fu, thank you for your contribution to Kawanishi!" Wang Yuze excitedly held the hand of the ** husband and said. Radio will be used not only for army but also for naval communications. For Kawanishi, it will be very important. Of course, Wang Yuze will not forget to apply for a patent immediately, so as not to be preempted by others. Worldwide, radio communication is a huge number, and when the time comes, Kawanishi will be able to collect the patent fee directly. Of course, as the head of the main research group, he was also rewarded. In addition to 100,000 in cash, there is also a medal of honor for special contributions in western Sichuan.

For the honor, the ** husband is also very satisfied. Without Kawanishi's funding, his research would not have been possible. Although the patent belongs to Kawanishi, doesn't he also realize his own value?

Xiong Wu and other military giants even said that after further improvements and reliability, the western Sichuan Army will make large-scale purchases. Strive to extend radio communications to company-level troops in western Sichuan. After the communication is unimpeded, the generals will be able to command the troops, and the combat strength of the western Sichuan army will be greatly improved.

After coming out of the Academy of Sciences, the group was in high spirits, and Cai Yun simply went to the arsenal outside the city to inspect the development of large-caliber artillery in western Sichuan. The artillery currently armed in western Sichuan is mainly 05 mm light howitzers. 55-mm heavy howitzers, only the instructor was equipped with a company of twelve. Moreover, this is still imported from Germany. It's not that Kawanishi doesn't have this technology, in fact, Kawanishi's military experts have already obtained the relevant technology from Krupp in Germany, and they have completely eaten it. It's just that heavy howitzers have higher requirements for artillery steel, and the steel technology in western Sichuan was simply not up to the mark. In addition, in the current war in China, this large-caliber heavy howitzer is too heavy and rarely can be used, so it has not been produced in western Sichuan.

Fortunately, some time ago, the steel smelting technology in western Sichuan finally made a breakthrough, and the newly smelted cannon steel was fully able to meet the requirements. The arsenal immediately began research on the 55-mm heavy howitzer. In just one month, a prototype gun has been produced. And after the test launch, there are basically no big problems, only some small problems need to be improved. Soon it will be possible to achieve mass production and equip the troops.
