    The large-scale project itself is a shock, and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, measured in this era, can be regarded as a super project.  The train leaves Lanzhou and goes 35 kilometers west to the first Hekou Yellow River Bridge designed by the Chinese themselves.  The Yellow River flows right under your feet. Everyone sitting on the train can't help but feel a strong shock. This is the power of the industrial age.  Use steel and cement to conquer nature and transform the world. In the process, the natural chasm becomes a clear path, and the barriers of time and space are broken. The journey that took the past half a year can now be reached in a week.  Think of the camel bells on the ancient Silk Road in the past, and listen to the roar of the trains now.  Hundreds of times the speed, thousands of times the transport capacity, what progress and what a feat!  No fancy words can describe this change. The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway crosses the Yellow River from Lanzhou City to the west, crosses the Wushaoling Mountains at an altitude of three thousand meters, enters the Hexi Corridor at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, and passes through Wuwei, Zhangye,  Jiuquan exits Jiayuguan at the western end of the Great Wall, passes through Yumen and the Shule River at the southern foot of Mazong Mountain, and crosses the Hongliu River to the west into Xinjiang.  After passing through Weiya, it goes along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains through Hami, Shanshan and Turpan, and then crosses the Tianshan Mountains at Dabancheng to Dihua.  The total distance is 1,903 kilometers, along which there are both the Hexi Corridor with lush water and grass, and the deserted Gobi beaches; there are both emerging industrial cities and ancient towns with splendid culture; there are fields with fragrant fruits and melons, and mirages of mirages.  The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway passes through the "hundred-mile wind zone" and the "thirty-mile wind outlet", making construction and transportation extremely difficult.  A total of 110.83 million cubic meters of roadbed earth and stone have been completed along the entire line; 33 tunnels, with a total extension of 11.8 kilometers; 1,117 bridges, with a total extension of more than 30 kilometers.  There are relatively concentrated bridges and tunnels in the Wushaoling area. There are Tianshan tunnels between Hougou and Dabancheng, as well as roadbed projects passing through windy areas.  All are key to construction.  In order to build this railway, a total of 126 engineers and technicians lost their lives. Some fell off the cliff while surveying the line, and some were acclimatized and contracted diseases.  Someone was overworked and died at the construction site.  A railway is the result of countless efforts and heavy sacrifices.  But when the train passed by, everyone knew clearly that these sacrifices were all worth it.  With such a railway.  The mainland and Xinjiang are completely connected, and no one can get involved in China's territory.  The Russians who are ready to make trouble no longer want to stir up trouble in Xinjiang. This sacred territory that has been included in China's territory since the Han Dynasty has not been completely stabilized until this time.  Moreover, with the establishment of railway lines, it will be countless times easier to transport materials and equipment, and Xinjiang is rich in coal.  Oil and natural gas exploration plans are on the agenda.  And Xinjiang is considered an agricultural treasure land. As long as the water problem is solved, almost anything can be grown here. In addition to fruits, Xinjiang is also an important cotton production base.  I want to keep people fed and clothed.  It¡¯s not an empty talk, it must produce enough output.  If we follow the clothing standards of later generations, even if all the land is planted with cotton, it will not be enough. Therefore, the petrochemical industry must be developed and replaced with artificial materials.  At this time, if we want to let the people have clothes to wear, it has become an inevitable choice to vigorously plant cotton and develop the textile industry in Xinjiang.  Among millions of immigrants.  More than half a million people are engaged in cotton production. As long as there are oasis areas along the railway line, you can see busy people, like worker ants, working non-stop.  The train went smoothly.  Arriving directly at Dihua, Qin Wei personally greeted Yang Yuting at the station. As soon as the two met, Yang Yuting seemed a little unfamiliar. Qin Wei's face was tanned, his beard was unkempt, and his hands were big and rough, just like an old farmer.  generally.  However, Qin Wei was full of energy and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, this place is very windy and sandy, and it doesn't support people. I'm afraid you will suffer!" "Yang is not a pampered person. He has never suffered anything, brothers.  If you can bear it, I can bear it!" Qin Wei smiled and took Yang Yuting's hand. The two of them got on the horse and headed to the station: "Minister Yang, to be honest, the hard days are over.  , there was no water, and no food to eat. The brothers could only get some snow water from the mountains and drilled many wells, but it was all brackish water, and everyone drank it by holding their noses.  For more than a year, the brothers have cultivated more than 200,000 acres of farmland with a hoe and a pistol. They have enough vegetables to eat, and they also raise a lot of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, which can fill their stomachs. " Yang Yuting also means a lot.  He nodded: "Guarding the border is hard, I finally said it, but now that there is a railway, supplies from the mainland can be sent up. In addition, I will tell you another news. I am planning to send the second armor  The division is placed in Xinjiang. " Upon hearing the news, Qin Wei's eyes widened immediately. The only formal armored division in the country is the Guards Division, which is the trump card for guarding Beijing and Tianjin.  If only the second armored force could be placed in the newXinjiang, that is a great honor!  Of course, Qin Wei also had a taste of the middle: "Minister Yang, does the Vice President want to use troops against the Soviet Union?"  I came here to examine the actual situation. Fighting against the Russians is not a small matter and requires careful planning. " "Yes, these old guys are not that easy to deal with, but starting from this year, there will be a large number of Russians.  He fled to China and wanted to seek asylum. " "Oh? What's going on? Is there a famine in Russia?" "No, but it's almost the same. I heard that the Russians were engaged in agricultural collectivization and the establishment of a large number of farms, which deprived the landlords.  Many people couldn't bear the land of the rich peasants and ran away." When Yang Yuting heard this, he immediately frowned: "The Russians are doing the same thing as the domestic ones. How come there is such a big problem?" "It's hard to explain in one word.  , Speaking of which, the landowners and rich farmers in the country should be lucky. If they had followed the Russians' approach, I'm afraid they would have lost their heads long ago. "The Russians were simple and rough in doing things, and when they carried out agricultural collectivization, they were far from what Zhang Tinglan did.  meticulous.  Although China deprived landlords of their land, it gave them the power of choice and guided them to divert capital into industry and commerce.  Even if you don't want to, you can still get some financial compensation and put it in the bank to earn interest, and you can still survive.  In addition, the establishment of farms is mainly based on economic leverage to guide farmers towards union and scale. The government plays the role of leader and mediator in the entire process.  The Russians used compulsory orders to implement agricultural collectivization. As a result, they encountered strong resistance from farmers and a large number of production materials were destroyed. For example, in terms of the number of livestock, which has relatively reliable statistical data, three-thirds of the total during the collectivization process  Two-thirds of the horses, four-fifths of the cattle, five-sixths of the pigs, and 85% of the sheep were missing.  The Russians used extremely cruel coercion and even force to expropriate all wealthy and unwilling peasants. In this movement, millions of peasants were executed or driven out of their homes, and their properties were confiscated; the movement also  This resulted in a sharp decline in agricultural production, which dropped by more than 30% in the early 1930s.  Of course, it is not without gain, that is, the Russians finally reached the grain collection target and at the same time provided financial support for industrialization. The Russians began to accelerate the industrialization process. This process was more than two years earlier than in history.  After hearing Qin Wei's introduction, Yang Yuting's eyes suddenly lit up. This might be an opportunity. The Russians already have ethnic conflicts, and coupled with their rough policies, they will definitely arouse dissatisfaction. If they can take advantage of this opportunity, they can fight with the Russians.  In a fight, amidst internal and external troubles, the Russians will definitely not end well.  "Immediately arrange manpower to find all the Russians who have fled to China. We must carefully ask them about the situation and find out what Russia has sent. I will report to Zhu Yan. If necessary, I can support the landlords' resistance.  " Yang Yuting has gradually come up with a plan to use the opportunity in front of him to bleed the polar bear with a knife Nanyang, Borneo.  A group of topless natives were dragging sports cars through the forest. The ropes had penetrated deeply into the flesh of these people. One old native could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.  In the ditch.  The supervising soldier came to him in two or three steps, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him out like a chicken, and tied him to a tree by the roadside.  Then he took a horsewhip and whipped the other natives violently, saying loudly: "Hurry up! If anyone dares to be lazy, I will tie you to a tree. It won't take long before there are wolves, tigers, leopards, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in this forest."  , will turn you into corpses, and you will be free forever!" "When these people heard this, it was like a voice from hell, making everyone tremble from the bottom of their bones. They could only use all their strength and fight with all their strength!  Dragging the heavy artillery carriage, they kept moving forward.  "Commander-in-Chief, in three days, our forwards will be able to rush to the outskirts of Aventai. There is a brigade of Dutch garrison here. As long as we surround this place, we don't have to worry about Ma Chen's Dutch being trapped." Bai Chongxi vowed.  Said that the cities in Borneo are mainly concentrated in the coastal port areas, and most of the inland areas are small towns. Most of these areas have fallen into the hands of the South China Army.  Aventai is one of the largest cities in the interior of Borneo. If Nanhua takes it, the entire Borneo, except for the coastal areas, will fall under Nanhua's control.  Although the coast is rich, it still depends on the supply of materials from the inland. If the inland is lost, the Dutch will become a sourceless water.??Can't hold on.  This is the so-called attack and rescue. As long as the Dutch are lured from Machen to the inland area, they can encircle the point and provide reinforcements. This is also the battle plan that Xu Shuzheng and the others have been preparing for a long time.  After listening to Bai Chongxi's report, Xu Shuzheng immediately said: "We need to speed up the march, we must ensure the suddenness of the battle, especially the logistics materials must keep up, and then organize 50,000 natives to use them as livestock for me, how tired will they be?"  I don¡¯t care, we must get to the outskirts of Yaventai within two days!¡±
