Yue Peng was stunned, but soon understood what Yang Du meant.

The importance of oil is self-evident. If there were no aircraft in the Oil Expeditionary Force, tanks and trucks would be iron coffins. So as a general, he knew very well that future wars would be oil wars! The commander-in-chief of the domestic commander-in-chief finally finished the Han River and the two oil fields. As of now, the annual output has only barely reached 100,000 tons. However, after all four large Anhai-class cruisers were put into service, the navy alone would consume about 100,000 tons each year, which was unimaginable.

Although the output of the two oil fields is far from the limit, and Yumen has also discovered oil fields, if you want to mine and transport it, at least you have to wait for the western section of the Longhai Line to be completed. And everyone has not yet known how much oil is there underground, so they have obtained two oil exploration rights in Hanzhi through the Plum Blossom Treaty. But Hanzhi is too far away, does it have mining value? How to transport it back after it is mined? How to protect it, etc., so domestic aspirants have already put the search for oil on the most important agenda.

Now Sakhalin Island has a proven reserve of 100 million tons, and it is a piece of fat everywhere! But this piece of fat is beautiful but not delicious, because everyone knows that Sakhalin Island has oil, and the United States has discussed the issue of mining rights with the Tsarist government a long time ago. Moreover, due to its narrow local area, Japan is even more urgent and lacks oil. Since winning the Russo-Japanese War, it has been coveting North Sakhalin Island. Now that they have been expelled from the mainland, their demand for resources is more urgent, so they proposed to North Sakhalin Island on this occasion./

Not willing to give up!

Yue Peng clenched his fists, how many problems can 100 million tons of oil solve? Although he has seen that Pershing and Lansing are very dissatisfied with Japan's desire for North Sakhalin and Kamchatka, where oil will be developed in the Republic of China will also be attacked by the United States and Japan, and it also involves greater control of Kamchatka and Alaska, so it is too hot!

"Don't think about it." Tang Shaoyi saw him clenching his fists and patted his thighs and comforted him: "Japan development is a good thing for us."

After a few years of training, especially after personally experiencing the war, Yue Peng had already been transformed. The British army spent tens of millions of artillery shells on the Marne River, the French army of Verdun spent 30 million of them, and the German army spent 110 million of artillery shells in three years! The style of the war has been completely changed. At this moment, everyone understands why Yang Qiu has been desperately trying to strengthen the construction of the country's basic industrial industry from the beginning, and even makes money for the great powers. He is really too behind! He is changing and buying and finally adding British and French support, but now he is now.

In the Republic of China, the industrial processing capacity is still not as good as that of Japan, let alone Europe. He asked Zhang Wenjing and Zhan Tianyou before. It would take at least 35 billion yuan to complete basic indicators such as 137 basic industrial projects, open up the main railway roads across the country, and cover 170 major cities, etc., etc., etc.! In other words, if you ignore the expenses of education, agriculture and forestry, and do not rely on external funds, even if you maintain the current growth rate, it will take at least 20 years to save enough money.

How many 20 years does life have?

Therefore, if the Republic of China wants to rise in the world, it must speed up the construction of the industrial revolution. But equally, the great powers will not be willing to let you catch up with industrial comfortably. They will inevitably try their best to weaken, curb and destroy it. In this case, they will have to act like a good baby obedient attitude, and at the same time they must constantly create local crises to make Europe and the United States consider the issue of taking sides. From this point of view alone, Japan cannot die for the time being! The best way is to cut off Japan's hand to the mainland and force it or go south. Advance north will threaten Alaska, the United States and move south will inevitably touch the interests of Britain, France and the United States, and no matter which one is going, it will offend people. In this way, Japan can be placed on the ocean and become a shield in the Republic of China.

"So that's not the case with Sakhalin Island?"...

In the Fengtian War Zone Command, Cai Jimin, Zhang Zuolin and others were also concerned about the Bordeaux Conference. Although the final result has not yet been released, Vladivostok, Boli, Sakhalin and the Okhotsk Sea have undoubtedly become the most concerned issues of China, Japan and the United States. China hopes to regain all the territory of the Treaty of Nibchu, while Japan needs oil and coal mines on North Sakhalin and Kamchatka Peninsula. The United States is also jealous of oil, but is more concerned about the future development direction of China and Japan and the security of Alaska.

"I have asked the Prime Minister to bring our bottom line to fuzz up the status of Sakhalin Island, but the actual control can only be temporarily released. Japan wants to make benefits now, and it always has to pay some price!" Yang Qiu said relaxed but was reluctant to leave. Sakhalin Island's oil reserves are more than 100 million tons, which is a super energy base with a reserve of 7 billion tons. In addition to oil, there are also extremely rich coal and forestry resources. If it weren't for the current technical level, he would not have given up! But although this was a decision he made, he was still very distressed. He took a deep breath and tried to move away and turned to Ural Mountain: "Where has Chen Huan been?"

Cai E had something to delay, so Jiang Zuobin temporarily took charge of the command and dispatch of the "Sunrise Plan". After calculating the time, he said: "According to the train speed, you will be able to arrive in Chelyabinsk tomorrow morning. When you can go to Yekaterinburg depends on how fast they are. In addition, Li Liejun is afraid that the night will be long and dreams will be too long, so he decided to take action today, but if his division wants to control a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, he may be under great pressure."

"Just move, you can't make the most of the sky. I will send a telegram to Zhang Zuolin immediately within ten days and ask him to wipe out all Russian forces in the Northeast! We must sweep this place thoroughly before the leader of the Russian opposition under the agreement!" Yang Qiu clenched his fist fiercely. Since Sakhalin Island cannot be brought back for the time being, then please find some compensation! It is said that General Bai Mao, the director of the Central East Railway Bureau, is a wealthy person.

Just as Yang Qiu was looking for compensation everywhere, Yekaterinburg, which was on the Eurasian dividing line, was already in chaos. Teams of soldiers of the 124th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force carrying equipment were rushing towards the reservation under the dawn led by officers. The rapid steps and horse hooves instantly woke the city from its sleep. Numerous eyes were projected behind the windows that were pushed open. Many people even ran on the street in pajamas, looking at the soldiers stationed at the railway station in a daze and were considered to be allies running towards the city like hunting dogs.

When the soldiers in the front ran over, the soldiers dragged behind slowly stopped and stood up every few meters. Then, under everyone's gaze, they all raised their guns: "Go back! Go back, go back!" Even though they had been learning the common Russian language for several months, their vague accents still made the citizens watching the fun unable to understand. In the end, the non-commissioned officer simply pulled out his pistol. The sound of the guns finally made these citizens nervous and scared, and then they realized that this was not an exercise, but an occupation!

Army Captain Yang Wenhai is the second battalion commander of the Tangnu Ulianghai Camp and the first non-commissioned officer student at Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School assigned to Li Liejun. At this moment, his goal is to be located in the Ibat Yev Palace on the banks of the Isset River. This palace was built to commemorate Ekaterina I. It is said that Nicholas II came here to live after abdication, but because he did not believe in the squadron stationed here, he was stranded in Kazan. Although the Tsar was not here, this huge palace is still the center of the entire city, with royal guards stationed all year round. It is said that the palace contains tons of gold and gems. Therefore, it was listed as the second target early on. If it weren't for the great threat of the Ural Cossack Cavalry Division stationed in the suburbs, it might have become the first target.

Then the morning light led the way, Yang Wenhai and the soldiers soon saw the palace. When the iron door that had been closed all year round appeared in sight, the bullet also shot out...

"Grenade." As the grassroots platoon leader shouted, more than a dozen grenades were thrown towards the gate at the same time. The dense rain of bullets forced the loyal Tsar guards to be blown upside down. Although they took the lead, their years of ceremonial career had long forgotten the cruelty of war, especially after the two light machine guns formed a fire angle, the gate was instantly driven open by the soldiers.

Blood flowed in every part of the palace. The bodies were tilted around on the white marble. When the inner palace gate was finally occupied, every soldier was stunned by the scene in front of him! Exquisite oil paintings, ancient porcelain, glittering silver products, and gems embedded in the walls as bright as stars! "Look at what you see, move them all away! Whoever dares to hide it privately and kills you will not be able to do so!" The battalion commander shouted ruthlessly, and the soldiers quickly woke up from their loss of mind.

Just like a house search, everything you can see was brought to the truck waiting outside. The walls filled with gems were dug and holes were everywhere. Steel silver jewelry and tableware were taken away, tens of thousands of books were brought into the truck, and even the crystal lamp on the top was removed. Everyone's eyes were red. Especially when the local palace was opened, the pieces of gold and silver that were ingots, and the boxes of jewelry were severely stimulated the soldiers, and they even had to use a military police to take over.

"Teacher Commander, Ibat Yev Palace has been taken down, and Battalion Commander Zhang is leading the team to count."

In the railway station command center, the communication officer shouted excitedly, holding the phone, and it was obvious that everyone was very concerned about the palace. But Li Liejun could not consider the spoils. Yekaterinburg has a population of 300,000, and there were about 500,000 people living in the surrounding areas. At this moment, he only had a mixed division and several armored trains to support him, and all of them were only over 20,000. This amount of troops could not control such a large city.

Moreover, the Russians are not cowards. Even the guards guarding the palace dare to resist, let alone those soldiers. Especially the Ural Cossack Cavalry Division stationed in the suburbs is a big deal. Although it has been deployed in advance, what should they do if they break the defense line? Moreover, both Ufa and Kazan are stationed, and there are one or two divisions together. The most important thing is that Nicholas II is there, and there are many troops loyal to him. Will he order a counterattack? Moreover, Yekaterinburg is the center of the Ural activity of the poor party, and there are a large number of Red Guards and guerrillas. If they cannot be solved quickly, they may be in trouble.

Seeing that he was frowning, Army Major Liang Cheng came over. He was an old Gan Army officer who graduated from Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School. During the Revolution of 1911, he fought with Ouyang Wu across Jiujiang. Li Junlie returned to Jiangxi to preside over the overall situation and was promoted to regiment commander. Until the National Defense Force entered Jiangxi, he knew that he could not fight and simply left the front line to study at the National Defense University. After graduation last year, he was assigned to the 124th Division as a secondary staff officer, but he did not expect to go around and go to Li Liejun to work as a worker.

Of course, now the job is completely different from before, and he has also changed from a regiment commander to a chief staff major. Seeing Li Liejun frowning, he knew that he was worried about insufficient troops and said, "Terminal Commander, you can't wait anymore! General Chen Huan's two divisions must first take Chelyabinsk before they can come over. I don't know how long it will take! The 6th Division and the 123rd Division will not be back at least three days later. I suggest mobilizing our workers immediately. There are enough guns and ammunition here. Even if you don't know how to use rifles, there are pistols and grenades to use. Arm thousands of people first to overcome this difficulty."

Li Liejun was also paying attention to Chinese workers, so he immediately asked him to organize 10,000 workers and distribute guns to form a temporary worker team. When Liang Cheng left, Major Chekov, the liaison officer of the Russian delegation stationed in Tanu Ulianghai, angrily threw away the guards and rushed into the command room, pointing at his nose and accusing: "Col. You are committing a crime, a provocation to Russia!"

"I'm very sorry, Colonel Chekov, I'm executing the orders of the agreement! We can't leave our wealth to the ones!" After Li Liejun finished speaking, he found that these words were a bit against his will and added: "I am like you, a man who executes the orders."
