Chirping, a few green trees lined up by the river, standing silently, a flock of sparrows fluttering their wings and perching on them, pecking at their feathers. Looking at the half-built buildings in the distance, it seems novel.

"Our school is already so big, there are now more than 3,000 students, even if the number of students is doubled, the current campus is enough to accommodate it, why does it seem that a new school building is still being built over there?" Fengtian University of Technology does not have a wall, just in time for the holiday, some students are scattered on the road and lawn. On the tree-lined concrete streets, there are one or two newsstands, kiosks. Dessert cake shop. The two cold drink shops by the river have come out with the latest milk-flavored popsicles made by Fengtian, as well as corn-flavored and watermelon-flavored ones. With Fengtian University as the center, everything around seems relatively quiet, and the river flows quietly. The quaint stone bridge, etc., all of this is somewhat similar to the environment of Cambridge, a university that is tolerant of society and tolerant.

"I heard that a new university is being built over there, which is jointly funded by Dashuai and some other wealthy businessmen in Fengtian, and the scale is even larger than that of Fengtian." A male student with black-rimmed eyes lifted his eyes.

"Isn't there our University of Technology? Why build a university? ”

"The entire Fengtian Province alone has a population of 10 million people, and the University of Technology is now only more than 3,000 people, where is one University of Technology enough?" Several students who heard this sentence just now couldn't help but laugh. In the words of Dashuai, with the implementation of the compulsory primary education system in Fengtian and the gradual improvement of secondary education, a few more universities of the size of the University of Technology are not enough. What's more, now that Jilin has been brought under the rule of the marshal, Heilongjiang is about to be integrated with Fengtian. ”

"Zhao Gang, is there anything new in today's newspaper?" Zhu Yugang was lying on the table in front of the newsstand. Asked a young man inside, after setting up some newsstands near the university, there were fewer people selling newspapers along the streets. In addition, in other parts of Mukden City, newspapers have also been changed to regular reading, and every day there will be people on bicycles to deliver newspapers to subscribers. There are also some people who do not subscribe and buy directly at the newsstand.

"Yes, the Feng army won the battle on the Heilongjiang side. Took Heilongjiang down. Zhu Yugang smiled and handed over a newspaper.

"Really? Won the battle again. Let me see. Zhu Yugang took the newspaper and sat down directly on the long wooden bench on the side of the road.

"How can this be reasonable, this Ba Ying's forehead is really lawless, relying on the military power in his hands, he actually did such a conscientious thing, and the Japanese army and Tsarist Russia invaded the Northeast back then." Seeing a large article in the newspaper about Ba Ying's atrocities, Zhu Yugang and others were all angry.

"In the case of similar troops, even our Feng army can't stop a round of attacks, don't say that such an army wants to protect the territory and the people. Except for the victim, it is simply useless. Other students also criticized.

"Speaking of which, it's better for us to serve the army, even in the face of the Japanese army, we can do it without backing down, but nothing like this has happened until now." Song Lei said.

"These students' ideas are really simple." Two passers-by, one of them in a black suit, couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he heard the students praise Fengjun.

"Why did the virtuous nephew say this?" Another old man in a gray robe with a pair of round cloth shoes on his feet asked.

"Feng Jun is naturally not bad, but this is reported. It can also be regarded as an offensive in public opinion, but if it attacks one side. They all like to give themselves a high-sounding excuse, and Mukden is no different. Chen Qingtang said.

"That's true, but you've been in Japan for a long time, and you don't know much about Mukden." The old man shook his head and smiled, "Strengthening propaganda is indeed a means to win people's hearts, but justice is at ease in people's hearts." Don't think that everyone is stupid, the reason why Fengjun is so popular is indeed because of its strict military discipline and ability to fight well. Jilin, Heilongjiang can fall into the hands of Yu Shuai. It is indeed a blessing for tens of millions of people in the two provinces. At the beginning, Fengtian was not much stronger than Jilin, and today's situation is all thanks to Yu Shuai. When you calm down and live for a while, you will know why the people of Fengtian support Yushuai so much. ”

"Why is the big handsome here?" Xu Huaqing took off his tortoiseshell eyes and put aside a German book on geological research, and the other was a translation made by Xu Huaqing.

"I just took a turn in the University of Technology, and I came to take a look when I was idle, I heard that your health is not very good, Wang Qiqing left because of this kind of problem, and I can't even see the situation of Fengtian's growth, you veterans who built Fengtian are all Fengtian's wealth, but you have to take care of your body." Qin Yu sat down, and Xu Huaqing could be said to have made great contributions to the exploration of large and small mineral deposits in Fengtian Province.

"I'm tired and worried, it's just that I didn't pay attention to my diet when I was in the mountains, and I added a little bit of wind and cold, so my condition worsened, and it was good to raise it for a while." Xu Huaqing's heart warmed and he smiled. No matter how strong Xu Huaqing is outside, he is actually very good for those of them who are engaged in research.

"It's good if there is no problem, why, you haven't forgotten to study geological research to this extent?" Qin Yu looked at the German book that Xu Huaqing put aside and smiled.

"I have nothing to do, translate the information of foreign geological research, the Republic of China is still a lot behind foreign countries in this regard, and translate some books, so that the students of the Department of Geology can have more references." Xu Huaqing said, "There is no end to learning, live to be old, learn to be old, get used to it, and it is a little difficult to endure without watching any days." ”

"There is another thing that came to you this time, about the exploration of mineral resources in Heilongjiang, don't be too anxious for the time being, let's take a look at the Mohe gold mine first, mainly Jilin, I heard that there is a big coal mine in Rehe, you can also take a look. There may be relatively big changes in the situation in Heilongjiang later, and now it is surveyed, it will not have much effect. Let's dig out the Jilin side first. Qin Yu said, the Daqing Oilfield must not see the light at this time, otherwise Japan, which is short of resources, will definitely use all its national strength to attack. With Mukden's military strength at this time, it could fight one or two local wars with the Japanese army. But when it comes to all-out war, it is still unbearable.

"Didn't the marshal have already taken Heilongjiang, even Xu Lanzhou gave up Qiqihar, and Hulan's Yingshun had no choice but to surrender, or he ran to the desert to eat sand. Could it be that there will be other changes in Heilongjiang? Xu Huaqing said strangely. According to his understanding of Qin Yu, after occupying a place, the first thing is to mine the mineral resources of this place, turn it into wealth, and at the same time expand the industrial scale of Northeast China. Including Jilin, too. However, the Heilongjiang issue has been handled relatively unusually.

"I have some connections on the Russian side, and recently there has been another crisis in the Russian Provisional Government, and the political groups represented by the Bolsheviks have become more and more anti-war and have the support of a considerable part of the poor. The Mukden General Staff unanimously agreed that Russia would continue to participate in the First World War. Domestic contradictions will further intensify and become prominent. Sooner or later, there will be a big mess. It may spread to the Russian Far East, and the General Staff has always regarded Japan and Russia as imaginary enemies, and Russia's civil strife and weakness are opportunities in the northeast to decide the ownership of the Middle East Road again, and there may be a big battle to be fought. Although Xu Huaqing is a literati, the nationalists in his bones are not less than half a point than Qin Yu, and he has developed Fengtian minerals for these years. This can be seen from the painstaking efforts in cultivating talents. Many mineral deposits are related to the core secrets of Fengtian, and this kind of thing is nothing to reveal to Xu Huaqing.

"The marshal wants to recover the Middle Road?" A hint of flushing appeared on Xu Huaqing's face. It's hard to hide the excitement in your heart.

"There is this idea, but it depends on the future of Russia." Qin Yu nodded, but did not say anything to death.

"A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, Russia is one of the great powers after all, even if it is weak. I'm afraid that compared to the Northeast, the strength is also very strong. If the marshal governs the Northeast for a few years, it should not be a problem, and there are indeed some adventures now. Xu Huaqing nodded.

As a traverser, Qin Shou naturally knew that the great changes that would occur in Tsarist Russia in the future were about to occur. In addition, the national strength of Tsarist Russia at this time was far from being as strong as it seemed to the outside world, and it is not surprising that Xu Huaqing, as a literati, had this view.

"Teacher, good news, good news!" At the door, Yan Shili broke in with a report, and when he looked up and saw Qin Shou, he was also taken aback, "Great, the handsome man is also here." ”

"What kind of body is frizzy." Xu Huaqing reprimanded with a straight face.

"It's good for young people to be motivated and impulsive." When Qin Yu said this, he didn't feel that he was about the same age as Yan Shili at all, "Tell me, what good news it is." ”

"Yes, Dashuai, teacher, He Ming They found a huge oil field in Xinmin." Yan Shili said with an excited face.

"What." Qin Yu suddenly stood up.

Not only Qin Yu, but even Xu Huaqing was surprised.

"Shili, you make it clear." Xu Huaqing said.

He Ming found a large oil field in Xinmin Damingtun, Zhangtun, Liuhegou, Gongzhutun and Gaotaizi, according to the conservative scale, the oilfield reserves are more than 100,000 barrels, and the specific reserves are still being further explored. The oilfield mainly depends on the sag and exists, which has early formation and stereotype, good oil and gas accumulation conditions, and the difficulty of exploitation is not high. Yan Shili said excitedly.

"It's a great thing." Qin Yu made no secret of his joy. "Okay, Shili, you go out first, I still have something to talk about with you."

"What do you have to explain?" Xu Huaqing asked.

"Misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, such a huge oil field is both a good thing and a disaster for the Northeast." Qin Yu sighed.

"What do you say? Northeast China is rich in mineral resources, isn't it more beneficial to the development of Northeast China? Xu Huaqing was puzzled, such an oil field, just exploited, the establishment of a refinery, petrochemical and a series of factories, will bring tens of millions of benefits to Fengtian every year, Fengtian in the petrochemical field will inevitably move to a new level.

That's true, but everyone knows what the consequences of a three-year-old child taking a gold ingot on the street will be. The importance of oil is now clear to almost all the great powers, and the demand for oil in new aircraft, automobiles, and warships is irreplaceable. Japan used to have Fushun coal mines, and their naval warships were not short of fuel. However, since Britain and the United States and other countries have used oil as fuel for warships, the superiority of oil has become prominent, and Japan is now looking for oil all over the world, and if they learn that Xinmin has such a big oil field under their noses, they will not hesitate to launch a war against Bong and seize the oil fields by force. ”

Qin Yu took a deep breath. Nima, just now I had to avoid the Daqing Oilfield being discovered, but I didn't expect that now there is another Xinmin Oilfield, which is still in Xinmin City on the edge of Fengtian City. At this time, the oil field with reserves of one billion barrels can indeed be called a huge oil field, and it is only a conservative estimate, for Japan, which wants to go crazy with oil, once they learn about the Xinmin oil field, what crazy things will they do Qin Yu is really unpredictable, if the war in Europe ends. Anyway, there will be foreign powers interfering in the war, and now Mukden is almost at the point of isolated support.

"I just got the three eastern provinces, if I were given three or five years, I would not be afraid of Japan, but now that war has broken out, Mukden really can't fight the Japanese army, and the current situation in the central government is a mess, and I don't expect to get much help from the central side. I'm afraid they also had the idea of weakening the Feng army with the help of the Japanese army. ”

"So, what then?" Xu Huaqing's face turned pale and said.

"Immediately stop the exploration of the Xinmin oil field. I sent people to seal all the information about the oil fields, and the people in charge of prospecting stayed on the other side of the river for a while, and then looked at the coal mines on the other side of the river. "The coal on the other side of the river can be dug by pulling the turf, and there are large open-pit coal mines, and I heard that the quality of the coal is also very good, not much worse than Fushun coal. If this is the case, Qin Yu doesn't mind using troops against Rehe again, and Rehe will have to occupy it sooner or later. Qin Yu was also not worried that Tanaka Yu would make any unfavorable moves against the people he sent to Rehe.

"Okay, everything is subject to the arrangement of the marshal." Xu Huaqing nodded solemnly.

"Be prepared, it seems that the military is going to make some adjustments again." Qin Yu got up and said. "Take care of yourself, I'll go back first."

When I returned to the Marshal's Mansion, it happened that Tian Helin and Lan Tianwei came over.

"Yo, what brought the two of you together?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"Of course, I came here to find the marshal for something, so let's talk about it first." Tian and Lin said.

"It's okay, Xu Lanzhou led his troops to withdraw from Qiqihar, and now that Sun Liechen has taken over the city, he still asks the marshal how to deal with Xu Lanzhou's troops." Lan Tianwei asked.

"The Feng Army was officially reorganized into the Northeast Army, and the 1st Northeast Army was established in Heilongjiang, Ma Zhanshan was transferred to serve as the commander of the 2nd Division, and the 1st Army temporarily governed the 2nd and 6th Divisions. Let Xu Lanzhou serve as the chief of staff of the 1st Army, which is not a disadvantage to him. "Qin Yu had already thought about it when he came, now there are more than ten divisions in the northeast, and the original group of old men have been in the position of division commander for too long, and it is time to make a move.

"It's time to start setting up a military-level establishment, and the strength of the marshal's adjustment this time is really not small." Blue Sky Blue Road.

"It's a proposal first, how to adjust it later, and I want Brother Ji Hao to help me improve it." Qin Yu said, "In addition, the 2nd Army was established in Fengtian City, with Yang Xing as the commander, and let Bai Wenwei concurrently serve as the chief of staff of this army, with jurisdiction over the 27th, 4th, and 8th divisions. ”

"Chen Shengwu was transferred from Benxi to Changchun and served as the commander of the 3rd Army, Yang Jianhua concurrently served as the chief of staff, and the 3rd Army had jurisdiction over the 5th and 23rd divisions, as well as the cavalry brigade in Taonan."

"Li Chengwen was transferred to Benxi as the commander of the 4th Army, with jurisdiction over the 7th and 1st divisions."

"How's the 9th Division's shelf going?"

"It has been formed, and the whole division now totals more than 7,000 people." Lan Tianwei said for a moment, and then said, "The marshal will form four armies at once, and the rank of this army commander, I'm afraid the central side will not agree." ”

"It's their business to disagree, and it's the Northeast's business whether to do it or not. The 9th Division will be expanded into a full-fledged division this year, and the 10th and 11th divisions will be formed before the end of the year. ”

"Dashuai, is something wrong?" Lan Tianwei and Tian Helin's faces became grim at the same time, and the 8th Division has been expanded this year, and there are still 9th Divisions. Now two more divisions have been added, and this kind of strength can only happen when the station incident almost clashed with the Japanese army. Originally, this year's fiscal budget has been fully prepared, and although Mukden's revenue is large, its expenditure is also large, and the fiscal budget in the northeast is very large, and there is still a fiscal deficit of seven or eight million yuan every year. Qin Yu's sudden expansion of two more divisions will undoubtedly expand the deficit to more than 10 million.

"Well, the prospecting team has discovered a huge oil field in Xinmin, with reserves of more than 100,000 barrels according to conservative estimates, and the Japanese prospectors have secret activities in few places in the Northeast, Brother Ji Hao, you should know what it means to Mukden once the Japanese learn about the Xinmin oil field." Qin Yu told the truth.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Lan Tianwei spat out these words.

"Yes, the last station incident, the reason why the Japanese did not expand the incident again, in the final analysis, is a matter of interests, such an oil field under the nose can already make the Japanese army do whatever it takes." Qin Yu nodded.

"Fengtian Bank also has a fund for road repair, which can be misappropriated as the cost of this year's military expansion. The funds for road construction can be used to fill the hole with subsequent financial revenues. It is not a big problem to change next year's budget. It is rare that Tian Helin did not express any objections this time, although he is a little dissatisfied with military spending in peacetime, but Tian Helin's overall view is very good.

"The funds over there in Fengtian Bank don't need to be touched for the time being, you can talk to Du Liming, and Huaxing Bank can come up with this money." Qin Yu shook his head and said.

"That's for the best." Tian Helin and Lan Tianwei smiled, Qin Yu said this is equivalent to temporarily lending his property to the Fengtian government, and it is interestless, Tian Helin is also happy to eat Qin Yu's big family. (To be continued......)
