Wendesi's interest in Siberia is far less than in Central Asia, and although Siberia is a vast area, the environment is too pitied, most of it is permafrost, and it is extremely difficult to develop. Until the beginning of the 21st century, the entire Far Eastern Federal District (including the Outer Northeast, Eastern Siberia and Kamchatka Peninsula) covered an area of 6.21 million square kilometers, but the population was just over 7 million.

Anyway, Wen Deji couldn't understand why some people in later generations would be so interested in Siberia, a place where birds don't lay eggs. However, Wen Desi also knows that most of them are "Ye Gong is a good dragon", don't look at what they shout "must get Siberia", "If you don't get Siberia, you are brainless" or something. But if they were to immigrate there, thank God it would be 1 out of 100 people who would be willing.

You know, in the extreme climate of Siberia, it is difficult for either industry or agriculture to develop. For example, the entire Far East of Russia covers an area of 6.21 million square kilometers, but only 2.8 million hectares of arable land. Of these, only the outer northeast is a little better, and the rest of the land can only be planted for four or five months a year, and only crops with a short growing period can be grown. Some people say that there are many mines there, and if we can't plant fields, we can open mines. Yes, there are a lot of minerals over there, but you have to have the ability to dig them out first. Most of the land is permafrost and swamps, and if you mine in these places, the picture is unimaginably beautiful.

Even the largest timber resources in the area are difficult to exploit because there are not enough roads. It's not that I don't want to build it, but I can't afford to build it, and building roads in frozen ground and swamps is quite a luxury, and the difficulty and cost of building this thing are so high that it makes people want to cry.

So in Wen Desi's opinion, that part of Siberia is really useless except for looking at the large territory and looking good on the map. For example, East Siberia is now in possession of a large area, amounting to more than 4.6 million square kilometers, but the environment is harsh, the agricultural value is relatively low, and only less than 500,000 hectares can be used as arable land, and there are about 5 million hectares of pasture.

However, Central Asia is a completely different place, and this is the real good place!

According to the statistics of China's major intelligence agencies in various countries over the past few years, the arable land area in China's surrounding areas has been listed. Compared to Siberia, which is the same as chicken ribs, and Central Asia is a different matter. Its latitude is similar to that of Northeast China, and it is quite good arable land. Among other things, in one Kazakh region alone, there is land for agriculture and animal husbandry2. 100 million hectares, of which about 30 million hectares are arable land and 181 million hectares are pasture. The arable land area of the entire Central Asian region is about 39 million hectares (5. 8.5 billion mu), pastures 2. 5.5 billion hectares (38. 2.5 billion acres).

The cultivated land area of China itself is currently only more than 85 million hectares, compared to the peak of the original time and space Tu Dynasty1. 200 million hectares is a lot less, but many of these missing parts are part of the "later generations" indiscriminately reclaimed, although these cultivated land have been increased, the result has caused a lot of trouble, a lot of soil erosion, environmental degradation and even drought and flood disasters. In order to protect the environment, China has taken measures such as returning farmland to forests, lakes, and grasslands, as well as the inferior cultivated land in mountainous areas that has been abandoned after the "integration of villages and villages". Of course, the new territory that has now been grabbed has increased the arable land a lot, but this kind of good thing is not too much.

In other words, if China eats Central Asia, then it can add 45% of the arable land equivalent to the mainland, plus 4 times the amount of pastureland. If farmland is distributed at an average size of 150 mu per household, then 3.9 million households, or about 19.5 million people, can be resettled. Plus pastures to arable land 2. Five times, that is, the scale of 375 mu per household, the number of migrant households reached 10.2 million, about 51 million people, so that the local Chinese population in the area could increase to 70 million. It will become China's big granary and big meat warehouse. Add to that immigration from industry, commerce and other sectors, and feed 200 million people.

Today, the population of the entire Central Asian region is less than 8 million. Moreover, Wen Desi did not plan to take over just like that, and he was too many 8 million aborigines. Anyway, now the red and white songs will be in full swing, and when they kill each other, when they are almost killed, China will go in and clean up again, and it is estimated that it will be about the same. Finally, it was screened again, and all those who were disobedient were sent to labor camp.

But that's not the point. What's more, it's easier to immigrate here. Central Asia has a temperate climate, with latitudes equivalent to northeast to north, and temperatures similar to those of these regions, making it more attractive to immigrants than icy Siberia. According to the current plan, in 20 years at most, this land will become China's "ancient times".

Of course, in addition to this, there is a reason that only a few people know. Kazakhstan has about 15% of the world's total uranium reserves, ranking third in the world, and Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan also have uranium deposits. How can this kind of feng shui treasure land be kept in the hands of others? Of course, you have to take it as much as possible. As for mining or not, that's another matter. It is only right to occupy it first, and wait until the uranium mines in Canada, South Africa, Australia and other countries have been bought and dug up.

Not to mention, there are a lot of copper and chromium that China lacks most here, in addition to Central Asia, there are also rich resources such as oil, natural gas, coal, iron, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, zinc, antimony and bauxite

With such a big interest and such a good opportunity, if you don't start again, it won't be Wendehei. Besides, he has always been very unhappy with the shape of the map of China, whether it is a begonia or a chicken. He decided it was time to reshape the map with the cannons.

........................................................................

At this time, the "Red and White Song Society" in the outer northeast region had roughly divided the winners and losers, and the white troops who had fought the five scum had been driven out of the big cities and survived in the countryside and rural areas. Now Vladivostok, Boli, Miaojie, Hailan Pao and other slightly larger cities have fallen under the control of the Red Army.

After the signing of the Treaty of Harbin, China sent liaison officers from the Belarusian government to contact the local Red and White players about the exchange of territory. The white army has been beaten to the ground, so naturally there is nothing to say, and they are willing to obey the orders of the little father to retreat. The Red Army, on the other hand, refused to return its territory to China after denouncing the "Chinese imperialists", claiming that they only obeyed the orders of the Central Committee of the Cloth Party, and that the decadent and degenerate tsarist government had no right to order them.

Well, since the "first salute" is useless, then it has to be "the rear soldier".

On June 6, 1918, with the aim of recovering the northern and northwest homelands, the military operation codenamed "Mangzhong Gift" was officially launched (this day was Mangzhong).

China's military operations have already formed a certain routine, first of all, aircraft to wash the floor, and this time is no exception. At 4 o'clock in the morning, a total of more than 1,400 warplanes took off from more than a dozen airfields such as Heihe, Yichun, Jiamusi, Jixi, Yanji, and Qingjin, as well as from six aircraft carriers in the Sea of Japan. When it was dark, these overwhelming planes began to launch air strikes on important strongholds, airfields and military targets entrenched by the Russian Red Army.

Russia has largely focused its efforts on Europe and has invested much less in the Far East. In addition to the fact that Europe is the core, there is also a very important reason that it is too far away from their core territory. It was simply impossible to meet the needs of the Great Army on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which often dropped its chains. Even on the plane, Russia's military strength in the Far East is weak in order to be wary of a rising China, with less than five divisions in the army and just over 100 vintage fighters in the air.

The navy is even more tragic, the strength of the Russian Pacific Fleet was originally quite objective, but it was basically wiped out in the Russo-Japanese War, and it has not increased since then. In the history of the original time and space, by the time of the victory of the October Revolution, the Russian Far Eastern Navy had only a few frigates, speedboats and a few ships of the maritime border guard. The situation on this plane is similar, it's not that they don't want to supplement, but they don't have money, and if they make up less, they still can't beat China, and if they make up too much, what will Europe do?

After the September Revolution, the most revolutionary sailors basically joined the Red Army, and the entire Pacific Fleet was controlled by the Red Army. The Air Force and the Army were divided into two factions, and after the start of the Red and White Song Festival in Europe, the Far Eastern Army, which received the news, also began to tear apart. The White Army was completely inferior in numbers, it was flown by car in less than two months, and after being wiped out by a third by the Red Army, the wolf bèi fled from several large cities.

And this time, China's air raids were targeted at these large cities that were under the control of the Red Army. The air supremacy of China's air raid is composed of the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army Aviation, and the air supremacy is the responsibility of the fighters of the Air Force and the Navy. Most of these 50 planes were destroyed on the airfield, and the dozen or so planes that barely took off were pulled down by the swarming wolf-like Chinese fighter planes that had just arrived in the sky less than 10 minutes ago.

The Air Force is mainly equipped with large and medium-sized bombers, such as the H-4 "Black Swan" heavy bombers and the H-5 "Heron" medium bombers, and their main targets are the Red Army's barracks, fortresses, and other large targets. The main targets of the HNA attack planes were the port of Vladivostok and the Far Eastern Fleet, and all of the wrecked ships were blown up in the first round of air raids. On the other hand, the Army's J-3 "Forest Owl" dive attack aircraft included enemy armored vehicles, trains, and other targets, and they swooped down from a high altitude with a sharp whistling and accurately smashed bombs on the target's head. The J-4 "Long-eared Owl" fighter is tasked with "licking the ground" with two 25mm cannons and four 12mm machine guns in the nose, which resemble the original A-20 aircraft, with solid armor and enough to defend against large-caliber machine guns.

At the same time, the war on Heilong Island (the old name of Sakhalin Island, because of its location at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, so it was called Heilong Island) also began. The air force and army aviation stationed in the city of Gunan (i.e., "Fengyuan" during the Japanese occupation and "Yuzhnosakhalinsk" during the Russian occupation, after the liberation, named "the south of the caves" and named after the south of the caves) also began to strike at the Red Russia in the north, and then the 113th Division, which had already been gearing up, crossed the 50th parallel of north latitude and marched northward.

After the completion of the air raid on the northeast, all kinds of large-caliber heavy artillery washed the ground. Previously, the Chinese army had already transferred 2 heavy artillery brigades and 5 train artillery battalions to the front line of Heilongjiang and Jilin, and as soon as the first round of air raids ended, these heavy artillery began to roar. The smallest of these heavy guns were 130 mm cannons, and the largest were 280 mm and 310 mm railway guns.

These heavy railway guns were repurposed from the surplus products of the production of naval guns. For example, the 310 mm 45 times diameter gun, this kind of gun was produced a lot a few years ago, but since the batch of second-hand battleships was disposed of, there has been no suitable warship to use, and these guns can only be put in the warehouse to eat ashes. There is also the replacement of the 280 mm 45 times the diameter gun, with the updated 280 mm 50 times the diameter gun, these guns can only eat ashes. In addition, there are 240-mm guns, which were eliminated by the Navy, and now no warships use cannons of this caliber. China, accustomed to frugality, used these guns and turned them into coastal defense fortress guns and railway guns.

Judging from the current development of the navy, these guns may be a little too small as the main guns of battleships, but when used in the army, they can only be described as metamorphosis. The makeshift railroad for their use was laid by the railroad soldiers all the way to the banks of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, and then these steel behemoths drove along the railroad to the preset positions, shelling the Red Army positions on the opposite bank at a rate of fire every five or ten minutes.

In order to prevent China's attack, they built many fortifications on the east bank of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers. However, the focus of the defense of these fortresses was on the Chinese side, so they did not work at all during the Red and White Song Society. In addition to the fortress that was originally controlled by the Red Army, the part controlled by the White Army also fell quickly. All of this had been controlled by the Red Army.

I have to say that the Russians are really very attentive when repairing these turtle shells, most of them are reinforced concrete and soil fortifications, and armor steel plates are even laid in key parts. According to the Russians' own reality, these fortifications were enough to withstand the blows of eight-inch heavy artillery. And for the sake of the powerful Chinese Air Force, they also deployed a lot of anti-aircraft fire in these fortresses. In the air raid just now, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the Chinese air force did not attack this place on a large scale, and only bombed by heavy bombers with guided navigation bombs, but the accuracy of these early guided bombs was not very good, although many were destroyed, but at least half of them remained.

But such turtle shells were completely inadequate in the face of large-caliber train guns, 310-mm shells weighed 410 kg, 280-mm shells - 300 kg, and the smallest 240-mm shells also had 190 kg. In front of the heavy shells of this level, like papier-mâché, with the continuous rise of fire pillars and mushroom clouds, the fortifications on the opposite bank were reduced to ruins one by one, and countless broken steel and human bodies were splashed everywhere.
