    In tropical rainforests, it often happens that the enemy and the enemy suddenly discover each other when they are tens of meters apart.  At this time, the accuracy of the weapon is of no value, the most important thing is reliability.  Moreover, it rains constantly and there are rivers everywhere. Many times, as soon as you get out of 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 simplicity, reliability, durability, and durability have become the best standards.  It is precisely Russian-made weapons that best meet this requirement. In recent years, several major arsenals in Fengtian have produced Russian-made weapons in large quantities, and there are large inventories in their warehouses.  Originally, after a large-scale change of equipment, Zhang Tinglan began to sell weapons to domestic warlords. However, after the warlords in the southwest and northwest were basically eliminated, the military strength has been unified, and overseas markets have become the best destination for these weapons.  China has begun to provide large amounts of funding to North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, India and other places.  Nanyang, which had already begun to build a nation, received full support.  Ge Yue  , I can help you build river speedboats." When Xu Shuzheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, that's great! If you want to fight in this ghost place of Nanyang, you can't live without a boat.  If we have something, we can form a rapid mobile force." Li Xun heard from the side and was also dancing. Borneo's water network is dense.  Boats are the daily means of transportation in many places.  Their guerrillas also seized a large number of fishing boats and used them to transport troops.  If you can equip some fast boats and mount machine guns on them, they will be a mobile firepower point. A burst of bullets can kill a group of people on the shore.  Before this, they had already made similar attempts, and the results were quite good.  Now that 300 engines have been sent over at once, they can even form a water strike force to move across the middle of the river, and can quickly mobilize troops. The mobility of the troops will be greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness will be doubled.  They all couldn't help but were eager to give it a try. The soldiers rushed to carry down all kinds of weapons and materials.  Xu Shuzheng also smiled and said: "It's disrespectful to come back and not return. We also have a lot of things to give to the country. Please ask Mr. Ge to take them back." "No problem, that's what I do." In recent years, the guerrillas have also seized things.  A large amount of funds had been collected, some of which had been shipped back to the country, and a large amount remained in their hands. Especially after occupying Samarinda and other places, their seizures were even more astonishing.  Xu Shuzheng passed down the order.  The soldiers brought over boxes after boxes of goodies.  "Mr. Ge, there are a total of thirty tons of gold here, as well as a batch of seized foreign currencies. Please take them back." When Ge Yuexuan heard this, he was also shocked: "Commander Xu, are you kidding me? How could this happen?  There is so much gold?¡± ¡°Hahaha, this is nothing. There are many gold mines in Borneo, but they have not been developed. These golds were obtained from the Dutch. In addition, we still have 100,000 tons of oil.  "There is a large amount of rubber, wood, grain, and high-quality coal. What they lack is the ability to transport it out." Upon hearing Xu Shuzheng's introduction, Ge Yuexuan was completely shocked. Although he knew that Nanyang was rich, he did not expect it to be so rich.  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 the output? I will report to the country immediately." Xu Shuzheng was also prepared and handed over a detailed list.  Gave it to Ge Yuexuan, and soon the list was delivered to Zhang Tinglan. After seeing the items listed above, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but exclaimed.  Borneo's rich resources are simply beyond imagination. First of all, what attracted Zhang Tinglan most were the two strategic materials of rubber and oil. Borneo was the first place to plant rubber in Southeast Asia. Tan Kah Kee has a large number of rubber gardens in Sarawak in the north.  .  Moreover, there is a large amount of spare land here with unlimited potential to increase production, which can easily meet domestic needs.  Although Indonesia's oil was indispensable in the world in later generations, it is still an important production area. During World War II, the annual output was 7 million tons. At that time, Japan's annual consumption was 5 million tons. Because of this, the little devils fought hard  They would even go to war with the United States to seize the oil.  At present, Southeast Asia also has a production capacity of three to four million tons, of which Borneo accounts for about half. The area currently controlled by Xu Shuzheng can produce 1 million tons a year. If the mining intensity is increased, it can reach 1.5 million tons. This amount can already  meet China's current needs.  Accompanying Zhang Tinglan to look at this list was Jiang Baili, who was always gentle and elegant.After arriving here, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.  "I would like to say, no matter what, we must support them, we must control the oil!" "Brother Baili, why are you so anxious?" "It's impossible if you don't worry." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "The mechanized army is  I'm sorry for your suggestion, but if you want to put wheels on the army and put it on heavy armor, what you need most is this black blood. Without oil, nothing can be done. " "In fact, it's not just the army, it's needed elsewhere.  Modern agriculture is supported by a large amount of oil and chemical fertilizers. In order to ensure food supply, Zhang Tinglan has vigorously built farms in the northeast and northwest and encouraged the use of agricultural machinery.  Basically, wealthy farmers will buy a walking tractor, which uses a single-cylinder diesel engine with about ten horsepower. It can be used for plowing and sowing. It can also be used to pull goods.  Although a small thing is inconspicuous, after hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of vehicles, the consumption is quite staggering.  Although diesel is currently just a waste product from the process of refining gasoline and is not very expensive, it consumes tens of millions of dollars every year.  And according to estimates, by the Second Five-Year Plan, China's oil consumption will increase more than four times, especially after the completion of land reform in the Central Plains, which will also lead farmers to farm operations.  The amount of agricultural machinery needed will also double.  Five million tons of oil are consumed a year, but domestic production is currently only 500,000 tons. How to make up for this gap, not only Zhang Tinglan, but also Wang Yongjiang and others are worried.  Zhang Tinglan has not thought about developing the Daqing Oilfield. He even asked geological experts to conduct an investigation. However, they concluded that there may indeed be oil, but the depth of burial has exceeded the ability to exploit it.  In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked someone to inspect the Shengli Oil Field.  Not to mention that oil has actually been drilled, but there are still troubles. Shengli Oilfield is the most geologically complex oil field in China. With current technology, only a very limited amount can be mined every year.  Zhang Tinglan was almost at a loss when he suddenly found a huge treasure house right in front of him. How could he not be tempted.  Zhang Tinglan looked at it carefully.  Then he 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 it, you have to go through the British." "Britain.  It's better than the United States." Jiang Baili said without hesitation: "In any case, Borneo is right under our noses. Once we have three aircraft carrier battle groups, the South China Sea will be our footbath.  Count the money. If they dare to blockade us during the war, we will rob them. We don¡¯t have to worry about anything. The Americans are far away on the other side of the ocean, so we can only do nothing.¡±  , According to this, I must increase my support to Nanyang. Just sending weapons is not enough. It is best to send a group of volunteers there. " Zhang Tinglan gradually made up his mind. He looked down and saw that there were still things below.  There are a large number of treasures listed, such as gold mines, with a yearly output of at least 20 tons, and a large amount of wood. In later generations, China also imported a large amount of high-quality wood from Southeast Asia. The wood can be used for more than just furniture.  Telephone poles and railroad ties are all made of hardwood and are being built on a large scale in China.  The shortage of wood is also increasing day by day. If we can get a large amount of wood from Southeast Asia, it will be a big help.  In addition to these, there are also rice, coal, diamonds, etc., everything is touching. After reading it, Jiang Baili couldn't help but said: "I would like to say, if we can get Borneo, we can at least afford five million."  Immigration can not only alleviate China¡¯s problem of too many people but too little land, but it can also create an additional overseas province and a large granary, which makes people salivate just thinking about it. " "The Europeans have colonized for three hundred years, and they have indeed left behind!  Too much property, these good places have been taken over by them!" Zhang Tinglan leaned on the sofa and thought for a while, then said decisively: "Brother Baili, you immediately select a group of elites from the army and order them.  After retiring from the army, all go to Nanyang and serve as volunteers. No matter what the cost, they must grab Borneo for me. " Zhang Tinglan was not so eager in Nanyang in the past, but with the progress of industrialization, China's resource bottleneck is not far away, and  The contradiction between more people and less land in the country has become increasingly acute.  The land distribution is only a temporary relief. After society stabilizes, medical conditions will improve rapidly. China will definitely usher in a baby boom and the population will skyrocket.  No matter how you look at it, outward expansion has become inevitable. It can even be said that China¡¯s expansion demands even exceed Japan¡¯s.  Of course, expansion also requires skills. As the saying goes, pick the weakest persimmon. Holland, the weakest link, was targeted by Zhang Tinglan.  Jiang Baili was also very enthusiastic about this, and he immediately went down to arrange it.  Originally, the old Fengjun also had soldiers who had served for nearly ten years, and these people began to retire one after another.? In addition, after reorganizing the southwest and northwest, a large number of troops were also disbanded.  Jiang Baili gathered all these people and selected the best. After training, they were all sent to Nanyang. In addition to them, Jiang Baili specially ordered Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to also go south to Borneo.  They are all from Guangxi. In comparison, the terrain and climate of Guangxi are closest to Nanyang. These two people are also very high in military quality. They happened to serve as Xu Shuzheng's right-hand man. They entered Borneo in batches with 3,000 elites.  Xu Shuzheng, who had been fighting alone in Nanyang, was extremely happy to receive so much support at once. He immediately expanded the army and formed a total of four divisions. Zhang Honggang, Li Xun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi served as four divisions respectively.  's teacher.  When Xu Shuzheng, whose strength had soared, was sharpening his sword, he suddenly received a secret message, and the Dutch were ready to counterattack.  After all, the Fengtian still needs maintenance and cannot wait too long, so the Dutch can also have the opportunity to mobilize troops.  The eastern half of Borneo has been lost. They chose the counterattack base in Banyan Port, which is the largest port in southern Borneo with convenient transportation and rich products.  The Dutch gathered a total of 15,000 soldiers, more than 30 warships, and more than 40,000 indigenous soldiers.  It can be said that the Dutch have staked all their capital and want to take a gamble with the South China Army.  After Xu Shuzheng received the report, his blood was boiling.  "Everyone, the decisive battle has arrived. Who is the master of Borneo depends on the battle in front of us. Do you have any ideas?" Bai Chongxi has been studying the situation in Borneo since he received the order to go to Nanyang. Therefore,  Upon hearing Xu Shuzheng's question, he hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief, according to my idea, we should use encirclement and reinforcements to lure out Ma Chen's main Dutch force, and then eliminate them in one fell swoop!"  It's time to decide life and death in Nanyang, and  At this time, good news came from China. The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway was finally completed. The history of no trains in Xinjiang was also broken. This good news quickly grabbed the headlines of major newspapers. Everyone was optimistic about this railway.  With great enthusiasm.  In fact, as early as when Zhang Tinglan just regained Mongolia, he started to build a railway from Fengtian to Lanzhou. At the same time, he also extended the Longhai Railway from Xi'an to Lanzhou.  These huge projects were not initially completed until 2023. The railway, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers, passed through Inner Mongolia and extended to the northwest, forming a transportation artery that runs through the north. Lanzhou has also become a transportation hub in the northwest.  The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway project began to select sites and build roadbeds as early as 2021. After 23 years, the construction work entered the fast lane. In order to ensure the rapid construction of this railway, Zhang Tinglan also spared no expense and spent these years internally and externally.  All the prisoners of war accumulated during the war were invested in the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway.  During the construction process, Zhang Tinglan also issued a fatal order. No matter how exhausted he was, the railway must be repaired quickly.  In addition, in order to ensure the rapid completion of the railway, China also gathered almost all railway engineers to fight together.  It makes sense for Zhang Tinglan to be so desperate. The power of polar bears is recovering rapidly, and the territorial disputes between China and Russia regarding Central Asia have not yet been resolved. The completion of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway at this time not only means that Xinjiang is completely under China's control  , and also formed an effective deterrent to Russia.  Therefore, after learning that the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway was completed, all Chinese senior officials could not help but let out a sigh of relief: Xinjiang was finally safe. Yang Yuting found Zhang Tinglan as soon as possible.  ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m going to go to the Sino-Russian border to check out the situation. There are still more than 400,000 square kilometers of land there, and we can¡¯t ignore it!¡±
