"I hate war," Ren Di said seriously. Fang Ze, a railway engineer who was holding the drawings next to him and didn't lift his head, said teasingly: "I said Comrade Ren, you don't want to be war-weary. Ren Di smiled stiffly and said, "There is no political commissar around here." Fang Ze didn't answer, but said directly: "If everything goes well, it will probably take a year." to be able to build the railway to Sangenda,"

Ren Di said: "The wind blows the grass and sees the life of cattle and sheep for a year. ”

Since Zhao Weiguo asked Ren Di to fight in the northeast, Ren Di could only end this order and think of a way that was not a way with an officer of the Northern Field Army. Since Bohai Bay has become an inner lake for the fleets of the Hai Song and Ming armies. Their fleet could cover the landing of troops anywhere in the bay at any time. This kind of battle reminded Ren Di of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire is very similar to its current enemies. Rome occupied the Mediterranean, and the navy could transport legions anywhere along the Mediterranean at any time. Its own navy dominates the ocean, which is equivalent to a maritime supply line, so you don't have to worry about it. Roman legions swept around the Mediterranean. Roads were built from the ports to the land, radiating Roman rule as far inland as possible. This is standard, taking advantage of the ease of ocean transportation to control the land.

It is obvious whose territory the entire Bohai Sea is now. If it continues north beyond Beiping, its army flank and rear road will be threatened by a sea power landing. Ren Di never fights unprepared battles, and Ren Di's style makes Ren Di very conservative. So much so that sometimes a lot of fighters are missed. The strategic plan of not continuing to the north was questioned by some officers before this, and the reason for the questioning was simple: the Liao army of the Wu family was defeated in the East China Campaign in Guannei, and its morale was superior. Our army took the initiative to launch an offensive, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and it could take advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold in the northeast. But now that it slows down, the Northeast Wu Jiajun has time to ease their minds and prepare equipment, and the hot porridge will cool down.

This suggestion was not wrong, and the Republican Army was in high spirits all the way north. Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces have been liberated one after another, and according to intelligence, the people in the northeast are already panicking. A large number of factory owners and minerals began to go abroad. The situation in the northeast is very chaotic, and if you attack at this time, it may indeed cause unexpected results. To a certain extent, Ren Di's stop now is indeed delaying the fighter. If Ren Di was a little smaller, some people in the Republican Army would definitely criticize Ren Di for being a right-leaning escapist.

Impulsive, for a relatively risky direct attack scheme. Ren Di was a little impulsive. But Ren Di just didn't want to gamble, especially to bet on the opponent's vulnerability. And Ren Di knew that the other side needed a victory more than himself, a victory that could prove that the Wu family army could curb the red power from going north. Only if this victory is won completely will its dominance be stable. Only then will the capital market have the confidence to stay in the Northeast and stabilize the production in the Northeast. And this victory, Hai Song's commander Bei Liang mentioned: "It can only be pinned on a military offensive of the republican army." ”

However, what also made Bei Liang and Wu Shijie feel depressed was that Ren Di was a stuffy gourd. Seems to be blind to the temptation to do so once and for all. This was a huge blow to Wu Shijie's Liao officers. It's like a poor student who fails several exams and suddenly stays up late to prepare, but the next day the exam doesn't come, and the third day doesn't come. One blow and then three and then exhausted. The battlefield of their own superiority that Bei Liang and Wu Shijie desire is not to open up. Until I found out what Ren Di was doing?

After the camera switched, after comparing the railway lines on the map, Bei Liang held his head and said, "Damn, this guy wants to enter Liao from Dongmeng." "The Haisong Northeast Asia Command has been studying the map near Shanhaiguan. and Bohai Bay where landing can be fed. At this time, Ren Di's slow construction of the railway was equivalent to telling Hai Song's gang, "Don't toss around blindly on your side, the battlefield is not near the sea." ”

Beiping is surrounded by mountains on three sides, Taihang in the west and Yanshan in the north, Taihang and Yanshan are like a "factory" The word envelops Beijing, and also restricts Beiping if it wants to go north, it must be close to the sea. Inside the factory word mountain range is Beiping. To the north of its Yan Mountain is grassland.

Every time Ren Di's plane Houjin went south, he had to weaken Dongmeng first, and then rest assured that he would go south to snatch it. It can be seen how much Dongmeng, that is, the land north of Yanshan, has a strategic impact on the three northeastern provinces. At this time, Ren Di built a railway from Shanxi. It looks a little slower. But it is the means to extend the influence to Eastern Mongolia, and the honest man does things, the one called Stocky, Stocky, let the Haisong Northeast Asia Command scold his mother.

You said that if the battle was in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Haisong fleet in the Bohai Bay could still intervene, but if the battlefield was on the other side of the mountain range. Unless the battleship can climb the mountain. Climb over the Great Wall.

The war contest has reached this extent, and Ren Di is entangled in the trouble of this engineering quantity. After all, it is very troublesome to build a railway in the north, facing harsh winters in winter and terrible mosquitoes in summer. There are also local ethnic jobs. For Wu, however, the expected victory seemed impossible. What awaits is the troubles of the republic. He took the initiative to fight with the Republican Army in Eastern Mongolia, and there was no support from the Hai Song Army to fight a land war. Wu Jiajun didn't have that guts, nor did he have that ability.

The camera switched, in Jiujiang City, the seat of the provisional government of the Republic, Zhao Weiguo looked at the envoy of the Hai Song Dynasty who came to negotiate and said: "It is impossible to shake our determination. Even if you stationed a fleet in Dalian, prepared an army on the Cho #Xian Peninsula, and helped the Wu clan reorganize the army in the northeast. ”

The envoy of the Hai Song Dynasty, Li Kongming, said with a smile of diplomatic etiquette: "We, the Hai Song Dynasty, are determined to peacefully resolve the Northeast Asian issue, and the railways you are building in Northeast Asia now will only intensify the contradictions. ”

Zhao Weiguo laughed angrily. Originally, Ren Di asked the rear to provide a large number of construction corps to build this railway, but Zhao Weiguo had doubts, after all, there was an economic cost to the construction of such a railway. Is this price necessary for the liberation of Northeast China? There are also heated discussions in the Central Committee of the Republic.

But now that Zhao Weiguo knows, the price is definitely worth it, because Hai Song is in a hurry now, which shows that Ren Di's method Hai Song is depressed and begins to take the initiative to come here to try to solve it peacefully. Although this will for peace has become oppressive in the mouths of the chauvinistic diplomats of Hai Song. But Zhao Weiguo still heard the meaning.

Protest, only if you don't want to fight will you use protest to express your opinion, and if you really want to solve the problem by military means, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs basically squeaks, and then it directly uses the army. Now that Hai Song is so sharply mentioning the issue of the Northeast, then Hai Song has no chance of winning in the Northeast. Prepare to use protest to remind Zhao Weiguo that they can use means elsewhere.

Zhao Weiguo thought for a while, and completely clarified his words and said: "Northeast China, Fujian, as well as Qiongzhou and South Vietnam, these three areas have all put troops in your army, I think, if you and I don't break out on land, a land war will break out on land." It seems that it is difficult for both of us to sit down and talk. ”

Li Kongming was stunned for a moment, and then said suddenly: "Mr. Zhao's words, can I understand them as war ultimatums." Zhao Weiguo said equally seriously: "We are doing things in our home, how do you want to understand, we can't stop it." But you understand that we will not be afraid. ”

The camera cuts back again, Zhao Weiguo traveled through the era of his previous life, that is, the seventies, and the plane is similar to Ren Di. The railway to Mongolia was not built, but the railway was called the Jitong Line. It was built after the nineties. It is strategically significant, but it also has a significant impact on the economy of the grasslands.

Sheep are grazing animals, their lifespan is 12 years, in the period of poor transportation, the grassland sheep is the property of the herdsmen, can be preserved from the lamb to the property of seven or eight years. However, when sheep really grow meat, it can grow to dozens of catties in half a year. The taste is best for a year or so. That is to say, after the sheep has completed the growth period, they only eat grass to keep the meat fresh. This is completely different from the concept of pig raising by farming nations, which raise pigs, and pigs can be slaughtered when they are fattened and have darts. No more wasting feed.

To truly rule a place, it is not simply a matter of conquest by force. No one has ever been able to threaten a useless person with death. Only by giving the people of this land hope to live can the foundations of rule be established. The steppe lacks a lot of things, tea, salt and iron. In this industrial age, I was worried about the introduction of kitchen knives and iron basins in the grassland. On the battlefield, cold weapons have now been crushed by guns.

Now there are many Mongols on the railway site of Rendi, who work together when they work, and when the time comes, they will be paid for the work, and then they will go to the market to buy cloth and salt. What exactly is the good thing about railways. There is no need for additional publicity, there are several railways leading to the grassland in the land of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous is Datong to Suiyuan Province, this section of the railway was funded and built by the Jin merchants. The result of the construction is to make Suiyuan Province more prosperous. Mongolian goods such as furs and goods from Han land are exchanged here.

However, due to the financial reasons of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of railways has been concentrated in the capital-developed places in the south. No one wants to invest in the bitter cold of the north.

The Southern Mongolia region of China during the industrial era was not a land of aliens. Ren Di's plane, if you really want to count political consciousness, the people in that place in Dongmeng are even more conscious than the Han region in central and eastern China (because of its proximity to Beijing). Therefore, it is often seen in the media that there are people who have worked tirelessly for decades to reforest, this kind of dedication.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be comparable. This is our policy. Slavery, poll tax, don't want it, and as a friend, I advise you that this method of making money is too low. ”

Ren Di smiled and persuaded the leaders of these tribes on the grassland. However, in the eyes of these Mongolian men, Ren Di's smile is a classic sinister smile of the Han people. But it had to be from. In the past half a month, the Han team that has only entered the Mongolian Railway is not something to be messed with, and everyone is rushing to grab it. Once the whistling horse bandits on the grassland were caught, they were directly killed with quick guns. And it's not okay to hide in the tribe.

Usually the horse bandits on the grassland are bandits, and usually hide in the tribe as herdsmen. If you want to encircle them, you have to find them. I want to go to the herdsmen and arrest them. It is necessary to be prepared to be hostile to the slogan of "killing the Han people" by the herdsmen.

However, this changed with the arrival of the IRA. Communication, and sometimes mutual exchange, can solve the problem of estrangement between ethnic groups. The Republican Army is not only an armed force, but also represents an economic force into Eastern Mongolia, a large number of Eastern Mongolia is in urgent need of expensive materials in the past, transported here at a reasonable price, and employs local Mongols to labor, and recruits militia from the local area.

How could Ren Di, who was accustomed to using the people's war to consume his opponent, let the horse bandits be like a fish in water. After several fights against the bandits, even if the horse bandits mixed in with the herdsmen, the nearby herdsmen began to report the raiders. Because the benefits of trade are enjoyed by all. The herdsmen's garbage-like wool and leather were exchanged for much-needed supplies, and the exchange of law enforcement was carried out by locals who had received red ideological education. Locals and locals can always be reasonable.

Of course, the Republican Army is not a good one, three months ago, several large tribes united to prepare to join forces to grab a deal against the Republican Army's trading post, but under the automatic firearm killing, about two or three thousand herders participated in the robbery, and all the herdsmen involved in the robbery were shocked by the mechanized lethality. Corpses are everywhere, but that's it.

The leaders of several large tribes who launched this raid were directly raided by the Republican Army, and then the Republican Army directly accepted the management of this tribe. All the captives were paid three-quarters of their wages to participate in the construction of the railway, the grasslands were divided into patches, and each family contracted a plot of grassland for grazing. Signed a contract with the Republican Army for animal husbandry. Recruit young people from these tribes, train party members, educate and train, and then manage.

As the IRA promised on the steppe, not a single cow or sheep would be plundered. It was also a promise that made the words of the Mongol cadres who joined the Republican Army more credible than the nobles in this steppe. Whoever can give leads to leadership. What the Mongolian nobles can give is to take everyone to fight the grass valley, and now in the age of firearms, charging with a knife is equivalent to looking for death. Now the Workers' and Peasants' Party can be given a voice in the medical trade.

Ren Di looked at these anxious aristocrats and said loudly: "Mongolian men speak happily and behave happily, I like this character, so I will tell you happily." We know what a group of us have done to the landlords in the realm of our Han people. You are what we call exploiters. But now we are outsiders, and as outsiders, we can't do anything to you. But do you think you're safe? Can you do whatever you want to drive the herders here?

The Han Chinese will not rule here themselves. The Mongols will govern themselves on the steppe, but the people who govern the autonomous regions will never be you nobles in the future. In this change on the grassland, I hope you can transform into merchants sooner. ”

"Your Excellency General, if we become merchants, you won't kill us? But how do we become merchants. A wealthy man said, Ren Di said: "The fur business, the mutton wholesale business, you can do it." I am not here to buy you, but to inform you. ”

attitude, there is no moderation and deception. It's a confidence in the trend of change.

In dealing with the land of the Eastern Mongolian steppe, Ren Di's attitude is to let it be autonomous. The reputation of autonomy seems to be a bit of a concession from central authority. But it can't be understood that way. The so-called autonomy is party organization, and most of the local government officials are held by locals. The central government's jurisdiction is not weak at all. It's just organizing local people to manage it.

The land north of the Great Wall has very low grain production, and no matter how you manage it, you will not be able to get rich financially, whether it is a free economy or a collective farm. The ideal way to govern the land is to be financially self-sufficient. And the locals see themselves as Chinese. Don't think that a place is a contribution to the country by providing actual prosperity to the country. The precipitation in these three places in the Western Regions of Mongolia and Tibet determines that this place cannot become a densely populated area, and if it cannot become a densely populated area, you don't want to be rich with manufacturing and production. Why should the state maintain its rule in a place where it is impossible to be rich? Because this land is full of resources. At the same time, it can provide the country with a strategic buffer on land. Then it can be seen that in this impossible place to be rich, we guard the mineral resources for the country and maintain this vast treasure house. That's standard drudgery. Not only do people in these places need to make financial contributions. Subsidies are also given to the locals.

Ren Di's current policy and mentality in Dongmeng comes from this suggestion of the Party Central Committee, and Ren Di also had doubts, which were later dispelled by Zhao Weiguo. Zhao Weiguo said: "All government institutions working in mountainous and remote areas have local subsidies. ”

Ren Di figured out in an instant, such a few million square kilometers of land, historically sparsely populated and lacking precipitation, is not suitable for the development of urban clusters. The Mongols, who live here and see themselves as Chinese, are actually guarding such a large territory for China. Guarding this bitter cold region, a large number of resources and land in this area are marked with the name of China. If you let the Han people in the Guannai do it, you will give money in one sentence. Because working in these places is no different from supporting the west.

The people who guard the territory are also Chinese, and if they can maintain their identity as Chinese in this land, they must give trust, and those who did not grow up in this land are not suitable to come and point fingers. The people who actually come to work in Mongolia are doing hard work. Let the local ethnic groups be self-governing in accordance with the state management system. Maintain the sentiment of the local ethnic group into the country. In fact, the locals suffer in this country. Just like the Chinese born in the mountainous areas of the northwest are far happier than the people born in the southeast. Autonomy is relative, with ethnic minorities who grew up in this barren land administering the locality. Similarly, in the affluent areas occupied by the Han Chinese, the ethnic minority cadres born in these autonomous regions cannot be transferred to these places, and they still dedicate themselves to this land.

These territories have only two roles for the country, the first is land resources, and the second is to transport talents. Every nation has talents. The country's manufacturing system needs to be driven by talents. The more the merrier, of course, is this. As long as this land thinks that it is Chinese, can it still run abroad?

As for possible independence? Under the economic and trade binding, and as long as the Chinese regard the people in this place as their own people, they do not discriminate. How can people be independent, live a stable life, and have nothing to do to find a war to fight, this is how brain-dead people will do this. National unity is good for everyone.
