In tropical rainforests, it is not uncommon for the two sides to reach a distance of tens of meters before they suddenly find each other. At this time, the accuracy of the weapon has no value, the most important thing is reliability. And the rain is constant, there are rivers everywhere, and many times as soon as you get up from the muddy water, you have to shoot immediately.

At this time, the more delicate the weapon, the more likely it is to have problems, so it is simple and reliable, and the leather is durable, which has become the most haode standard. In recent years, several major arsenals in Mukden have produced a large number of Russian-made weapons, and there are a large number of stocks in the warehouses.

Originally, after a large-scale change of clothes, Zhang Tinglan began to throw weapons at the domestic warlords, but after the warlords in the southwest and northwest were basically eliminated, the military strength had been unified, and the overseas market became the best destination for this batch of weapons.

China has begun to heavily fund North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, India and other places. And Nanyang, which has already begun to build the country, has received full support.

Ge Yuexuan said to Xu Shuzheng with a smile: "In addition to these weapons, the vice president also gave a special explanation and sent you 10 reconnaissance planes and 40 anti-aircraft guns. In addition, 300 engines were delivered, as well as a number of boat parts and processing equipment to help you build river boats. ”

As soon as Xu Shuzheng heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, it's really good!" To fight in this hellish place in the South Seas, ships are absolutely inseparable, and with these things, we will be able to form a rapid mobile force. ”

Li Xun heard it next to him, and he was also dancing, Borneo has a dense water network, and boats are daily means of transportation in many places. Their guerrillas were also seizing large numbers of fishing boats and transporting troops. If you can equip some fast boats, mount machine guns on them. It's a mobile point of fire, swept by a shuttle of bullets, capable of killing a group of people on the shore.

Prior to this, they had already made similar attempts, and the results were quite good, and now they have sent 300 engines at once, and they can even form a water strike force, which can run rampant in the middle of the river, and can also achieve rapid troop mobilization, and the mobility of the troops will be greatly improved. The combat power will also jump exponentially.

All of them couldn't help but be eager to try, and the soldiers scrambled to carry all kinds of weapons and supplies. Xu Shuzheng also smiled: "Come and don't be rude, we also have a large number of things to hand over to China, and ask Mr. Ge to bring them back." ”

"No problem, that's what I'm doing."

In recent years, the guerrillas have also seized large amounts of money. One batch has already been shipped back to the country, and a large number remains in the hands. Especially after occupying places such as Samarinda. Their seizures were even more striking. Xu Shuzheng passed down the order, and the soldiers carried over boxes of good things.

"Mr. Ge, there are a total of thirty tons of gold here, as well as a batch of foreign currency seized, please take them all back."

When Ge Yuexuan heard this, he was also shocked: "Commander-in-Chief Xu." You're not kidding, are you? How can there be so much gold? ”

"Haha, it's nothing, there are many gold mines in Borneo, it's just not developed. The gold was all obtained from the Dutch. In addition, we have 100,000 tons of oil, a large quantity of rubber, timber, grain, and high-quality coal, but what we lack is the ability to transport it. ”

Hearing Xu Shuzheng's introduction, Ge Yuexuan was completely stunned, although he knew that Nanyang was rich, but he didn't expect it to be rich to this point, this is simply a treasure.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu, these things are urgently needed in the country, I suggest you provide a detailed list, what is there, what is the output, I will report to the country immediately."

Xu Shuzheng was also prepared, and handed over a detailed list to Ge Yuexuan, and soon this list was sent to Zhang Tinglan, and after seeing the things listed on it, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but exclaim.

Borneo's abundant resources are beyond imagination, first of all, the most attractive to Zhang Tinglan is rubber and oil, two strategic materials, Borneo is the earliest place to grow rubber in the South Seas, Tan Kah Kee has a large number of rubber plantations in Sarawak in the north of here. Moreover, there is a large amount of vacant land, and the potential for increasing production is unlimited, which can easily meet domestic needs.

Although Indonesia's oil was dispensable in Shijie in later generations, it is still an important production area, with an annual output of 7 million tons during World War II, when Japan's annual consumption was 5 million tons.

At present, Southeast Asia also has a production capacity of three or four million tons, of which Borneo accounts for about half, Xu Shuzheng and the area they currently control, can produce 1 million tons a year, if the mining efforts are increased, it can reach 1.5 million tons, this amount can already meet China's current demand.

Accompanying Zhang Tinglan to read this list was Jiang Baili, who had always been gentle and elegant, and after seeing this, Jiang Baili couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"In a humble way, no matter what, we must support them, and we must control the oil in our hands!"

"Brother Baili, why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you're not in a hurry, you can't do it." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "The mechanized army is your proposal, but if you want to put wheels on the army and put on heavy armor, what you need most is these black blood, if there is no oil, you can't play anything." ”

In fact, not only the army, but also other places also need a lot of oil, modern agriculture is supported by oil and fertilizer, in order to ensure food supply, Zhang Tinglan has been vigorously building farms in the northeast and northwest, encouraging the use of agricultural machinery.

Basically, the wealthy farmers will buy a walk-behind tractor, use a single-cylinder diesel engine, at about ten horsepower, ploughing the ground, sowing all-round use, and can also be used to pull goods.

Don't look at a small thing inconspicuous, but after hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, the consumption is quite amazing. Although diesel is only the waste of the gasoline refining process, the price is not high, but it also consumes tens of millions of dollars every year.

And according to estimates, by the end of the Second Five-Year Plan, China's oil consumption will more than quadruple, especially after the end of the land reform in the Central Plains, which will also guide farmers to farm management, and the need for agricultural machinery will also double.

How to make up for the gap of 5 million tons of oil consumed a year, while domestic production is currently only 500,000 tons. Not only Zhang Tinglan, but Wang Yongjiang and others were also worried.

Zhang Tinglan did not think about developing the Daqing Oilfield, and he even instructed geological experts to investigate, but the conclusion was that there may indeed be oil, but the depth of burial has exceeded the ability to exploit.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked people to inspect the Shengli Oilfield, not to mention that the oil was really drilled, but there are also troubles, the Shengli Oilfield is the most complex oilfield in China's geological conditions, and the current Jishu can be exploited very limited every year.

Zhang Tinglan was almost at a loss. Suddenly found a big treasure trove in front of him, how could he not be tempted. Zhang Tinglan looked at it carefully, and then said with a little regret: "Brother Baili, although there are oil fields in Borneo, these oil fields are controlled by the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company. If you want to get your hands on it, you have to pass the British level. ”

"Britain is also stronger than the United States." Jiang Baili said without hesitation: "No matter what." Borneo is right under our noses. When we have three aircraft carrier battle groups, the South China Sea will be our footbath. In peacetime, give the British some money, but in wartime, if they dare to blockade, we will rob it, and we don't have to worry about anything. The Americans are far away on the other side of the ocean, and we can only cry out in vain. ”

Zhang Tinglan is also hahadaxiao: "Brother Baili Gaojian, according to this, I must increase my support for Nanyang." It's not enough to just send weapons, it's better to send a group of volunteers over. ”

Zhang Tinglan gradually made up his mind, he looked down again, only to see that there are a large number of treasures listed below, such as gold mines, a year of output of at least 20 tons, as well as a large number of timber, in later generations China also imported a large number of high-quality wood from Nanyang, wood can not only be made of furniture, telephone poles, railway sleepers, all made of hardwood, China is under large-scale construction, the wood gap is also increasing day by day, if you can get a large number of Nanyang wood, it is also a big help.

In addition to these, there are rice, coal, diamonds, etc., all of which are impressive, and after Jiang Baili read it, he couldn't help but say: "Humble words, if you can get Borneo in your hands, you can bear at least five million immigrants, not only can you alleviate the problem of more Chinese and less land, but also have one more overseas province and one more big granary, which is coveted when you think about it!" ”

"The Europeans colonized three hundred years ago, and they really left too much family property, and these good places were occupied by them!" Zhang Tinglan leaned on the sofa and thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Brother Baili, you immediately select a group of elites from the army, and then order them to leave the army, all of them go to Nanyang to serve as volunteers, no matter how much it costs, you must give me Borneo." ”

In the past, Zhang Tinglan Nanyang was not so eager, but with the progress of industrialization, China's resource bottleneck is not far away, and the contradiction of more people and less land in China is becoming more and more acute. The division of land is only a temporary relief, and after the society settles down, medical conditions will also improve rapidly, and China will surely usher in a fertility peak, and the population will skyrocket.

No matter how you look at it, outward expansion has become inevitable, and it can even be said that China's demand for expansion has even surpassed that of Japan.

Of course, expansion also has to pay attention to skills, as the saying goes, persimmons pick up soft pinch, the Netherlands, the weakest link, was targeted by Zhang Tinglan. Jiang Baili was also extremely enthusiastic about this, and he immediately went down to arrange it.

Originally, the old Feng army also had soldiers who had served for nearly ten years, and these people began to retire one after another, and after the southwest and northwest were rectified, there were also a large number of troops that were dismantled.

Jiang Baili gathered all these people, selected the best, and after training, all of them were sent to Nanyang, and in addition to them, Jiang Baili specially ordered Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to also go south to Borneo.

They are all from Guangxi, comparatively speaking, the topography and climate of Guangxi are closest to the South Seas, and these two people have a very high military literacy, just to Xu Shuzheng as the right and left hand, and they took 3,000 elites into Borneo in batches.

Xu Shuzheng, who had been fighting alone in Nanyang, received so much support at once, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately expanded the army, forming a total of four divisions, Zhang Honggang, Li Xun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi served as the commanders of the four divisions.

Xu Shuzheng, whose strength has skyrocketed, was sharpening his knife when he suddenly got a secret report that the Dutch were ready to counterattack. After all, the Mukden still needs to be maintained, and it can't be delayed for too long, so the Dutch can also have the opportunity to transfer troops.

The eastern half of Borneo had been lost, and they chose the base of their counterattack in the port of Machen, which is the largest port in the south of Borneo, with convenient transportation and abundant products. The Dutch gathered 15,000 soldiers, more than 30 warships, and more than 40,000 native soldiers.

It can be said that the Dutch have already bet all their old books on it, and want to gamble with the South Chinese army. After Xu Shuzheng got the report, he was also enthusiastic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the decisive battle has arrived, who is the master of Borneo, it depends on the battle in front of you, do you have any ideas?"

Bai Chongxi had been studying the situation in Borneo since he got the order to go to Nanyang, so as soon as he heard Xu Shuzheng's question, he hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, according to my plan, we should use encirclement points to send reinforcements, lure out Ma Chen's main Dutch force, and then destroy it in one fell swoop!" ”

……

It was time to decide life and death in Nanyang, but at this time there was good news in China, the Lanxin Railway was finally completed, and the history of Xinjiang's lack of trains was also broken, and this good news quickly grabbed the front pages of major newspapers, and everyone was very enthusiastic about this railway.

In fact, as early as when Zhang Tinglan had just recovered Mongolia, he began to build a railway, which was to be connected from Mukden to Lanzhou, and at the same time extended the Longhai Railway from Xi'an to Lanzhou.

These huge projects were not initially completed until 23 years, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers of railways, passing through the Inner Mongolia region and extending to the northwest, forming a transportation artery through the north, and Lanzhou has also become a transportation hub in the northwest.

In order to ensure the rapid repair of this railway, Zhang Tinglan also spared no expense, and all the prisoners of war accumulated in the internal and external wars over the years were thrown into the Lanxin railway.

In the process of construction, Zhang Tinglan also issued a death order, no matter how tired he died, he must ensure that the railway was quickly repaired. In addition, in order to ensure the rapid completion of the railway, China also gathered almost all the railway engineers to fight together.

Zhang Tinglan is so desperate to play with his life, the polar bear's shili is in the process of rapid recovery, and the territorial dispute between China and Russia over Central Asia has not yet been resolved, and the completion of the construction of the Lanxin Railway at this time not only means that Xinjiang is completely in the hands of China, but also forms an effective deterrent to Russia.

Therefore, after learning that the Lanxin Railway was completed, all the high-level Chinese officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Xinjiang is finally safe, and Yang Yuting found Zhang Tinglan as soon as possible.

"Humble words, I'm going to go to the Sino-Russian border to have a look and understand the situation, there are still more than 400,000 square kilometers of land, I can't ignore it!" (To be continued......)
