Since China recovered the Anbei and Andong regions, the annual investment in infrastructure in these two regions has reached about 2 billion yuan. Don't think this number is small, the current value of Huayuan is 0.5 grams of gold, which is equivalent to throwing 1,000 tons of gold into it every year, which is about equivalent to 2500 to 280 billion soft sister coins invested every year in later generations.

Not to mention anything else, the "Arctic Railway Network" alone has been built to the point that everyone wants to die #.

Most of this railway network is in permafrost and swampy areas, and how difficult it is to build railways in such areas can refer to the Baia-Argentine Railway built by Mao Xiong, which began construction in 1930, stopped construction from 1953 to 1974, and was declared completed in 1991, and has been repaired intermittently for 40 years! Most of the routes of China's "Arctic Railway Network" are closer to the North Pole than the Bai-Argentine Railway, and many of them are directly within the Arctic Circle, so the construction difficulty is even higher. Moreover, these railways in China are the "quasi-gauge" (2500 mm gauge) of the original plane, and the amount of work is also larger.

Although Wen Desi's plug-in is ruthless enough, not only has advanced engineering technology, but also has a large number of cheap labor such as labor reform personnel and civilized students, progress is still slow in the face of this harsh natural environment, and until the first half of this year, the "Arctic railway network" was only about 60% completed. It is just the Hailiu line from Vladivostok to Liugui (Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula), the Xuanbei line from Xuanque (Irkutsk) to Beishang (the mouth of the Hatanga River, the eastern shore of Hatanga Bay, China's largest port city in the Arctic Circle), and the Kuxuan line from Kula (Chita, the Tang Dynasty to the Kurob Division) to Xuanming (Verkhoyansk, Veryansk, Veryansk), these three trunk railways, as well as some branch railways.

Ryuki to Qingchun (Anadyr, the old name "Nova Mariinsk". The port on the Pacific coast of northeastern Russia, the capital of the Chukotka Autonomous Region), as well as some branch lines during the connection are still being built. To complete the "Arctic railway network" envisioned by Wendehe, it will take at least the fifties until the fifties. Progress on the road is similar, about 60 per cent complete.

There is no way, in this kind of alpine area, only half a year can be carried out construction, such as the northernmost areas of the continent such as Beishang and Xuanming, the ice period of a year is even as long as eight and a half months, even if the process of sectional construction is adopted, the progress is not fast.

In addition to these alpine areas that are not suitable for human habitation and production, and difficult to develop, there are also millions of square kilometers of desert areas. How hard this kind of desert area is, I think everyone knows very well, so I won't go into detail here. Even though Mr. Wen has used various biological black technologies to transform the environment of these areas, and also used a large water pipeline network to supply water to these areas, the population carrying capacity of these areas is far from being comparable with normal areas due to congenital conditions.

In addition, there are more than 5 million square kilometers, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, steep mountains such as the 100,000 mountains, and more than 2 million square kilometers, tropical rainforests such as the island of New Guinea, these areas are also not very suitable for development, although better than permafrost and deserts, but also very good. The former can refer to Tibet, Laos and other places in later generations, and the latter is a famous "green desert", and the development situation can refer to the island of New Guinea and Borneo in later generations.

In other words, of China's current 30.3 million square kilometers of land, less than 15 million square kilometers are truly suitable for development. And the "30 million land expansion" mentioned by Mr. Wen is not all rotten.

So he also wants more territory, to be precise, more good territory, such as the North American plain, the Pampas plateau, the Ukrainian plain, the French plain, the Jinou plain, such good land. At the very least, we should think of a place like the Great Artesian Basin that is suitable for human survival. Of course, we all know that this kind of territory must be ownery. You can't get it by convincing people with virtue, so you can only get it yourself.

And now it seems that only Oceania has the smallest number of owners around China. So they naturally became the direction of Wende's expansion.

Although the Nanyang War has not yet ended, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia have definitely become part of China, of which Australia covers an area of 7617930 square kilometers, New Zealand covers an area of 268,680 square kilometers, and Malaya covers an area of 122184 square kilometers. If you add to this the planned 19060 square kilometers of New Caledonia. This time, China will acquire 8027854 square kilometers of new territory, nearly 8.03 million square kilometers.

In this way, China's land area will reach an unprecedented 3,830.56 square kilometers, 38 million square kilometers! This huge land spanning four continents will surpass the British Empire (34 million square kilometers) at its peak. But the span is not as good as that of Britain, and it cannot become an empire on which the sun never sets. There is no way, the territory of the Empire that spans seven continents and four oceans is difficult to replicate, and it is almost impossible in modern times.

However, it must be emphasized that the vast majority of the opium cattle's territory is ruled in the form of colonies, and their rule over the colonies is not stable, or where did the United States come from. And after that, a large number of colonies have succeeded in becoming independent, and those who have not succeeded in independence have not stopped, and they have been holding back the United Kingdom.

In other words, they have conquered an unprecedented and even unprecedented territory, but they cannot digest it. The main reason for this is that there are too few core ethnic groups in the UK, and even in their heyday, there were less than 20 million people in England, and such a large territory cannot be eaten in any case. The second is that they lack the idea of "great unification", so the United States, Canada, Australia, which are mainly British, have become independent.

But China is completely different, and the British do not have any of these shortcomings in China. First of all, China has a demographic advantage that the UK cannot match, and the Han population, as the core ethnic group, has now exceeded 920 million (including the assimilated and naturalized population), accounting for 98% of the country's total population, and has enough mainstream population to absorb these territories. Moreover, the idea of "great unification" has run through China's thousands of years of history, and this kind of thinking has been engraved into the genes of the Chinese and has become a kind of "bottom order".

Therefore, as long as China eats the territory, it is very stable and will not spit out. Don't look at Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia, there are 8.03 million square kilometers, as long as the immigrants are in place, after twenty or thirty years, it will be a proper "since ancient times".

Athens, May 25, Republic 2782 (1941).

While the Chinese People's Liberation Army was invincible in Oceania, another steel division with a red flag was also marching forward in the Balkans.

They are the Soviet Red Army!

On April 11, after the Soviet Union declared the "liberation of the peoples of Africa", it declared war on Britain and France. Millions of Soviet Red Army troops poured into Hungary like a tidal wave, after assembling here. It was through the open roads of Germany that reached Albania and Macedonia. Subsequently, their Black Sea Fleet entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Bosphorus.

Whether it is according to the rumors released by the Soviet Union or the information heard by intelligence officers from various countries, it is indicated that the target of the red woolly bear this time is Egypt.

Poor Egypt, which had just reached an agreement with Britain for complete post-war independence, became the target of the woolly bear. When the sultans and nobles of Egypt heard the news, they were all frightened.

Just kidding, Hongmaozi is a fundamentalist revolutionary, completely different from the kind of "revisionism" in China and Germany, people are very familiar with cutting down emperors and nobles, and they can even cut down their own country, let alone Egypt?

So after this news came out, the mood of the Egyptians was divided into three types. The upper echelons were so frightened that they were scared of and urine, because they all knew that the standard of the red haired people, their lightest punishment was to build Siberia, the kind of life for a lifetime! And most of them probably didn't even have this opportunity, they just loaded it in the wagon, and then dragged it into the field and crashed.

The middle level is a mixed bag, with their identities estimating that half of them will be unlucky, while the other half will become the new backbone. And the oppressed people of Egypt are in unbelievable ecstasy. Many of them have already begun to join forces and even organize riots. Just wait for the Soviet Red Army to fight, and then go to be the leading party.

Britain and France also tightened their defenses against Egypt, while German and Italian armies in North Africa entangled Britain and France, creating opportunities for the Soviet Union.

However, just when everyone's attention was focused on Egypt, Comrade Stalin put everyone together.

Yes, the bearded comrade slammed the crowd of onlookers, and his army did not go to Egypt. Instead, in the early hours of April 16, the Third International coalition of the Soviet Union, Hungary, Albania and Macedonia launched an attack on the Kingdom of Greece.

This time it made everyone miserable. Of course, for the onlookers, this is nothing more than a ticket bounce, just scold a few words. The worst is the Greek party involved, this Nima is a typical "people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven".

After receiving the news of the Red Army's invasion, King George II of Greece and a group of ministers were dumbfounded. They all shouted in their hearts with grief and indignation: Who did I provoke on my horse?

In the face of the Third International coalition, Greece had no power to fight back. No, only 40 days later, the boots of the Soviet Red Army stepped on the Metropolitan Street of Athens.

The royal family and the great nobles of Greece had run away a few days earlier, and many were picked up by a cruiser of the Germans. After all, George II's mother was Princess Sophie of Prussia and the younger sister of Wei II. That is, George II and the current Kaiser Wilhelm III are cousins. This is a busy Wei San still has to help.

Those who had no foreign means had to flee to the Peloponnese.
