Qu Jun was overjoyed. With 600 trucks, he can transport more than 10,000 people at a time, which also speeds up the delivery, and I believe that within ten days, with the trucks that come to reinforce him, he can complete the delivery.

"Ha Lu Ha! Then thank you Commander Zhang, if you can, how about the team set off with Qu? ”

"Master Qu doesn't stay for a light meal? Zhang also wants to ask you about your experience in Shanhaiguan. ”

Zhang Zizhong kept it, but he couldn't say it.

Of course, Qu Jungang knew that Zhang Zizhong had long been thinking about taking over Shanhaiguan, and besides, how could he have the heart to eat with all the troubles?

"Don't bother Commander Zhang, Qu received an order to hand over the defense of Shanhaiguan in three days, and there is only one day left at this time, and now it seems that there will be no more three days to deliver, so Qu must rush back to organize the evacuation of Shanhaiguan as soon as possible."

Zhang Zizhong also knew that this matter was important, and he didn't plan to keep Qu Jungang, in his opinion, what to ask, the advance army is just advanced weapons, fierce artillery fire, people dare to rush and dare to fight, where is the strategy?

Qu Jungang didn't stay, he didn't insist anymore, and directly ordered: "Adjutant, pass on my order, the transport regiment will dispatch 300 trucks, and the baggage regiment will dispatch 300 towing heavy trucks to return to Shanhaiguan with Division Commander Qu!" ”

"Yes!"

The adjutant was ordered to leave.

More than half an hour later, Qu Jun just got his wish with 600 trucks and a division commander with two battalions of troops, and went straight to Shanhaiguan.

Dong Ku, at this time, was also raising funds in many ways, and even Zhang Zizhong's four divisions stationed in Beiping did not let go, a large number of trucks were borrowed, and all the vehicles that could be pulled were used. It's just a pity that the train, all the locomotives, were destroyed by the Japanese army, and the steel was disassembled. Most of the tracks have been removed, and the railroad has been paralyzed.

Inside Zhangjiakou, there is no snow on the prairie yet, and a kilometer-wide route winds its way through the yellow grassland.

On the road, dense vehicles kicked up smoke and dust. Hurrah rumbling forward. From Zhangjiakou to Ulaanbaatar is only 1,000 kilometers, and it is closer to Mongolia, no more than 700 kilometers.

By this time, the number of trucks along the route had exceeded 4,000, and the number of horse-drawn carriages had increased to more than 30,000 due to the advance army's financial employment. Thousands of kilometers of road, except for horse-drawn carriages are trucks. Hardly stop all the way, straight to Mongolia.

For the first time in their lives, they were thrilled to leave their hometowns or to join their relatives and friends who had entered Mongolia and Heilongjiang in the spring, or who had the good wish to live a good life. The fact that the advance party was able to transport them by truck and did not need money suggests that the advance party may not really wait for them to enter the country before exploiting them.

Throughput rate of more than 100,000 people a day. Make this passage lively. And Dong Ku didn't realize that his migration had left the Great Powers with a lot of speculation.

The British ambassador, Henry, had not yet left in Tianjin, when he was informed of the dispatch of a reporter to report. The advance army had more than 3,000 trucks for migration, and the fuel they had seized was not enough to support the use of such a large convoy day and night, and there was no fuel to be seen in the supply. Most of the trucks returned with their own oil barrels, and when there were not many oil barrels at the refueling points along the way, he was puzzled.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Which of you sold oil to the Advance Army? ”

Henry's question confused everyone present, and they all shook their heads. The ban on the sale of strategic goods to China was decided a long time ago. Even if he has a good relationship with Dong Ku, the commander of the advance army, he has never been involved in the purchase and sale of strategic materials, and. The relationship is only recent, and it is not yet enough to sell them oil and rubber. Degree of rare minerals and chemical agents.

Henry took a telegram and said: "Do you know the way, because the advance army is at war with the polar bears, they rushed back to help, and even the remaining Japanese troops are not wiped out, in the movement of the army, the number of their troops is not estimated, it is estimated that there are more than 200,000, but the number of their trucks is now more than 3,000, and it has been two days, running around the clock, people are not stopping, you say, where do they get fuel?" ”

Lyken also nodded and said: "Ambassador Henry is right, the current consumption of fuel is very huge, not to mention their artillery that can move on their own, those are tank chassis, fuel consumption is not low, let's just say that the trucks used to transport the army and the people who follow them along the way have exceeded three thousand, you say, where did they get those fuel?" ”

After a pause, he continued, "The most important thing is that the oil drums pulled by their trucks are brought from Mongolia, which means that their oil is not obtained from here. ”

Lyken? Rothschild's words shocked everyone, if this news is true, doesn't it mean that the advance army has a source of oil in Heilongjiang or Mongolia? When he said this, everyone suddenly remembered that it had been two years since the rise of the advance army, and with the Japanese army guarding Shanhaiguan, it would be impossible for them to have oil to enter Heilongjiang, but where did their oil come from?

The faces of everyone present were instantly solemn. They all know that having oil means that a lot of supplies will be available, and at least there will be no shortage of oil for trucks. On the battlefield, the role of trucks and tanks is still well known, especially the self-walking artillery of the advance army, which has excellent performance, and it needs fuel.

There are also airplanes, and the current airplanes are still sharp weapons of war, and with fuel, it will not be difficult for the planes to be installed in the advance army. Especially since they have cooperation with that weapons company, and it is not very easy to own an aircraft? Premise, as long as there is fuel.

Henry groaned and said: "Although Harbin cannot be entered and exited, I believe that everyone will have sources there, the trucks in Harbin, even the buses, and the farms they have made, according to the words of the common people, those farms are all machinery, and we can't reach the level of agricultural science and technology, and these also need fuel, but the people there can't find out where the fuel for the advance army comes from." ”

A French official agreed: "That's right, it is said that their machinery for clearing land is very similar to a tank, pulling a big plow for land reclamation, and the amount of land cleared for hundreds of acres a day, sowing seeds, sowing hundreds of acres a day, is very fast, and their grain storage cannot find a place." But it is believed that they are not short of food now, or they will not send people there indefinitely to replenish the population. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will call you today. It is to let you know that if the advance army has a source of fuel, their rise, China will have only one voice, judging from their unfriendliness and their determination to kill the Japanese, our interests will be impacted, so I hope you will find a way to find out the source of fuel for the other side. We have to cut off the fuel supply there. ”

Henry's voice fell, and these officials who were doing it discussed one after another, they all understood that this is a powerful relationship, and the combat effectiveness of the advance army can already be confirmed, except for the comprehensive strength, such as no planes, no tanks. There are no warships, just on land. None of them dared to say that they could win in the face of battle.

The Austro-Hungarian official said: "So, I thought, should we send someone into Heilongjiang to see and help the people there find the answers we need?" ”

Henry and others strongly agreed with this proposal, and if the oil there was foreign, they had to plug the source. If it is self-produced. Then they don't mind another Eight-Nation Alliance. They absolutely could not see that the advance army had the resources to become bigger, and even though the advance army was now very combative, they believed that the alliance of many countries would make the Japanese even happier. With all its might, even if the advance army has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to parry.

As for entering from Soviet Russia, it was absolutely impossible, and just yesterday, the concession received a notice from the advance army, even in Shanghai, that at the same time, under the armed surveillance of the concession, all the Russians in the concession were arrested and all their assets were confiscated, including the banks of Soviet Russia.

They also knew from this move that the advance army had torn its face with Soviet Russia and would not die. And they also acted as intermediaries, transporting those civilians who were not soldiers back to Soviet Russia, and these news were learned from the mouths of these people who transported them, and they also knew that Soviet Russia did not get any benefits in the hands of the advance army.

Henry and others also because of yesterday's actions, although the Russians did not resist, they were in the same concession, one of the eight countries that invaded China, they felt the crisis, but they could not participate in the war now, and they did not want to participate in the war. If there is no oil, then the advance army will not be able to develop mechanized troops, aircraft, warships and other armed forces, and there is nothing to fear.

Everyone was talking about how to enter Heilongjiang, how to carry out the espionage activities of the eavesdrop, and where to target them.

What they say here, of course, will not be really implemented, and everyone will secretly start it, where is it possible to study the plan here? It's just a matter of brainstorming and providing reference for your own actions.

But they didn't know what to say, although none of these people were called Germans, but there was a country that had good relations with Germany, and at the same time, had good relations with the advance army, Italy.

Arnold, an Italian official in Tianjin, also took part in the discussion, and his enthusiasm was no less than that of other countries, and no one knew that the barrels and shells they made were almost in Shanghai, and at most half a month, they could reach Dong Ku, and a large number of them would be in the hands of Dong Ku.

The meeting ended an hour later, and Dong Ku, who had just arrived in Ulaanbaatar, received a telegram.

The telegram was sent by Arnold to Field, who found Guo Weiquan, who was in charge of liaison in Shanghai, and he said that the telegram was sent directly to the wolf smoke member, and then it went to Dong Ku.

Dong Ku pinched the message and frowned, he realized that he was going to be in trouble.

If Britain and the United States and other countries know that there are oil fields in Heilongjiang, there will be irreversible changes. Oil, at present, is the most important strategic resource, is an army, the foundation of a country's rise, China has been designated as an oil-poor country, at this time once it is known that China has oil, that is not a sweet pastry? Will Britain and the United States and other countries let go of this opportunity?

Dong Ku handed the telegram to the group of people who were still talking about the old days just now, but he didn't squeak.

Zuo Boyang handed it to Liu Zhong after reading it, and Liu Zhong handed it to the dog after reading it, and after a circle, no one squeaked.

Everyone knows that if other countries intervene, then they really can't resist it, after all, they can't support it with the economy. And other countries are by no means like Japan at this time, Japan at this time is not strong. After all, Japan needs to buy and plunder all kinds of resources, and it does not have it itself, while other countries, such as Britain and the United States, are different.

Dong Ku groaned for a while and said: "For today's plan, we can only try to keep the secrets of the oil field, but fortunately, the people in charge of the oil field are all the soldiers of the Flying Tigers, including the oil refining area, and the factory is also closed, otherwise this secret would have been leaked long ago." ”

Zuo Boyang didn't know the situation in Heilongjiang, he didn't speak, but Liu Zhong knew everything. He took over and said: "It's useless for us to simply be vigilant, the telegram mentions the farm, although the farm is all carried out by the soldiers of the army, but there are also words exposed, but the details are unknown." We must find a source that convinces the Powers, otherwise. There's a real chance they'll step in. ”

Sun Tao also agreed and said: "Yes, it is no secret that there are trucks and other oil-burning machinery on the streets, and it is difficult to keep the fact that they have a fuel source, or they need to have an oil source, otherwise, these will be guessed by them sooner or later." ”

Oil Sources......

Dong Ku groaned.

Where does the oil come from? Even if there is, it's the Middle East, and it has nothing to do with it. Since there is no surrounding, you can't keep this secret. Let's open up a route for oil imports.

Dogan does not have as much knowledge as Liu Zhong and others, his ideas are relatively simple, he saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "We have a big war with Lao Maozi, we can't stop it without a result, Lao Maozi has so many tanks, they should have oil, let's grab it." Isn't there a source? Also gag the mouths of other countries? ”

"Robbed?"

Everyone else looked at the dog, thinking that he, the legion leader who had been contaminated with Xing Yuan's gangsterism, was a little simple. Guns, it's not something that can be done in three days or two days.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the dog didn't understand what they meant, so he blinked his eyes and said, "Don't you have oil?" ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, only Xing Yuanshen thought so. Robbery is king.

Rob......

Dong Ku's eyes narrowed and opened suddenly. A gleam of light.

The dog's words reminded him of a place, and that was the Caucasus, the Caucasus of Soviet Russia, which was close to the Black Sea and had oil fields. Moreover, it is close to the Middle East, which is very close to the oil field opened by Shao Pang in Afghanistan, which can completely solve the problem of oil sources.

Dogan is right, just grab it. Since the war started, it was already endless with Soviet Russia, and it was no longer possible to calm his anger by simply recovering the territory of the Yuan Dynasty and taking back Siberia, and the rest of the matter was left alone, occupying the Caucasus was also the best way to attack Moscow, where, Leningrad was not far away, and if the bearded man could not be convinced, he would not mind attacking their hinterland! In the first battle, the bearded man was completely beaten down.

Dong Ku didn't notice the changes, after forming an idea in his mind, he walked to the hanging map of Soviet Russia and looked at it, and at the moment when everyone looked at him, he pointed to the area near the Black Sea and said: "There are oil fields here." Pointing to the Afghan region, he said, "This location is our own clandestine oil field. The finger moved to the position of Kuwait in the future, "Here is also, and there are two, and they are the largest oil fields in the world at present." ”

"Huh!?"

Everyone's eyes widened in the room. They know who Shao Pang is, they know that Shao Pang runs a lot of industries in Dongku, but they didn't expect that there is such a bullish oil field in their hands.

Zuo Boyang watched Dong Ku's fingers swipe across the map, pointing and pointing, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly shone brightly. The way he looked at Dong Ku's eyes changed, and at this time, he already had an immature plan in his mind.

Liu Zhong said with a smile: "Captain, you are now the richest man in the world, the real oil boss, but since Lao Maozi has an oil field, then we won't grab it, I'm sorry for the Jiangdong fathers, sorry for the dead people in Hailanbao, sorry for the dead ancestors who fought against Tsarist Russia, he Lao Maozi can do the first year of junior high school, let's do fifteen, if you want oil, buy it at a high price!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha! That is, this business is definitely money! ”

Xing Yuan laughed.

Goudan also interjected: "From here, you can attack with armored troops, you can hit there within two months, surrounded by mountains and forests, and with that Ural Mountains to cover it, it is not difficult to defeat the Caucasus." ”

Two months......

Dong Ku's eyes narrowed. If the decision was made to attack the Caucasus, the strategy would have to be readjusted, and at least the strategic intentions from the beginning would not be apparent to Soviet Russia.

Zuo Boyang carefully looked at the map and said: "Captain, I think the densely populated area of Soviet Russia is more in Siberia, and the Heilongjiang River Basin, as well as Vladivostok, in addition to these, most of the surrounding areas are no man's land, if you want to attract the Russian army, you can't let them perceive the strategic intention, we need to focus their attention on Siberia, that is, near Lake Baikal before the snowfall, put Vladivostok into the target of the attack, cut off the railway connection above the Heilongjiang River, and wait to eat the Siberian army, Then go back and clean up Vladivostok. ”

"And during this period, the troops had to march in secret, take the Caucasus in one fell swoop, use the cover of the Ural Mountains, build a defensive line, and hold out until they eat the whole of Siberia."

Dong Ku looked at the map, pondered for a moment and said: "Such a long front, our supply is a problem, even if we go out from the location where the Soviet Russia sneak attacked and entered, and go straight to the Caucasus, it will be very difficult to replenish, once it snows, in addition to tanks and armored vehicles, it is difficult for other transportation capacity to even climb the plow." ”

"That's easy to do."

Goudan took over and said: "We have so many trucks, except for transportation, it is basically useless in winter, if the truck is slightly modified, travel with chain rails, or use the tractor in Heilongjiang to pull the big climbing plow, transportation, in the heavy snow is not a problem." (To be continued......)
