From Peking to Liaoyang, Wan Lei and his party walked for five full days. This speed was really slow for him. After walking through mountains and rivers, he vowed to get the steam locomotive and railway in the shortest possible time, and Build a Sifang b1 3kanwang/bb/ no pop-up window/b within your lifetime.
In fact, in Wan Lei's view, maintaining a huge empire requires not only the army, but also a road system. The railway system extending in all directions is the main artery for a huge empire that is about to emerge. Control the lifeline of the entire empire.
Through these aorta, the army can be transported to designated locations quickly, and various military supplies can also be transported to designated locations in a steady stream. It can be said that wherever the railway is built, there is the new frontier of the empire. Under the rolling iron wheels of the train Anyone standing in the way will be crushed to pieces.
On May 21, Wan Lei and his party finally arrived in Liaoyang City. The five thousand refugees accompanying them were taken down and resettled. Wan Lei lived in the Peking Army's Second Group Army Liao Headquarters, which was Zhao Quanjie's headquarters. .
As the commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army, Zhao Quanjie led more than 30,000 troops into Liaodong. In more than a month, he occupied all the towns in Liaodong. The Jurchen and Mongolian tribes were driven into the deep mountains and forests, and all developed areas in Liaodong were destroyed. All the land they passed was owned by the Peiping Army.
In fact, the development of Liaodong in all past dynasties was very weak. The key areas for development were the Liaohe Plain and the Liaodong Peninsula. The old forests in the Senshan Mountains in the north have always been in an undeveloped stage. Wan Lei is not in a hurry to develop those areas that are difficult to develop. The focus of development is on the Liaohe Plain area.
"Sir, this is the topographic map of Liaodong that our army just drew. Please take a look at it." Zhao Quanjie brought Wan Lei to the command room and asked someone to open the curtains on the wall, revealing a huge map. This map It describes in detail the location of every mountain, every river, and every city in Liaodong.
Every time a place is captured, a local map is drawn in time. This is also the tradition of the Peking Army. Because with detailed maps, it is possible to better deploy troops and send appropriate troops to critical areas to garrison, so as to maximize Ensure the safety of the entire area.
"From Guangning to Kaiyuan, from Kaiyuan to Fushun Qinghe, and then to the Yalu River, the defense line our army has to garrison is not short. Even if we only garrison in key cities, our troops will be very scattered." Wan Lei looked at the lines on the map. Xiao Hongqi shook his head.
He knew that a small red flag was a garrison point, and there were dozens of densely packed garrison points, which showed that each garrison point only had a few hundred troops. A few hundred troops seemed like a lot, but overall, the defense was very weak. . If you want to defend it, you need to organize local militia to help defend it.
However, the crux of the problem is that not only are there few troops entering Liaodong, but there are also few local people in Liaodong. These hundreds of thousands of people are scattered over such a vast land, and each city only has a few thousand people. It is really few. It's so pitiful that they can't even organize a decent militia.
"The main cities in Liaodong are Jinzhou, Guangning, Anshan, Liaoyang, Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling and Kaiyuan. These eight cities are our main strongholds in Liaodong. As long as we hold on to these eight cities, we can protect Liaodong." Zhao Quanjie road.
"Well, now Liaodong has a small population, so we can only control the entire Liaodong area with the city as the center and a point-to-point approach. By the way, how is the construction of Liaoyang New City going? I plan to set up a development zone in the new city and build it into a large-scale Steel production base." Wan Lei asked.
"Come here, bring up the map of Liaoyang City." Zhao Quanjie gave the order, and the accompanying staff officer took out a map and spread it on the table. He pointed at the map and said: "According to your request, sir, I An order has been given to clear a piece of flat land in the north of Liaoyang, that is, by the Taizi River. Now we have begun to build the city wall and dig out water transmission and drainage facilities. We will build factories according to the drawings later."
"By the way, the dock must be built as soon as possible. All kinds of building materials must be transported by waterway. After the iron smelting plant is built, various ores must be transported by waterway, so the dock is very important."
"Sir, please rest assured. We have found a large iron mine along the Taizi River. The ore deposits are estimated to be one million tons. The ore can be washed by the river and then flowed down the river. It is very convenient. We have found another one in the north of Anshan. We have established an open-pit coal mine area, and as long as we build a coal transport track, we can continuously deliver coal." Zhao Quanjie pointed to several landmarks on the map and explained with a smile.
"Very good, with coal and iron, this is really the most ideal heavy industrial base. Of course, as the future heavy industrial base, the city must be well defended. I don't want such an important base to fall into the hands of any enemy. Can it be guaranteed?"
"Sir, please rest assured that our army will not let Liaoyang lose even if we fight to the last soldier."
"Very good. Now is an extraordinary period. The defense of Liaodong will be a bit difficult. After a few years, Liaodong will be developed and the population will increase, so there will be no problem. Therefore, in the past few years, it will be up to you to be in charge. You can't do it all the time. Relax, as long as you persist for a few years, the development of Liaodong will become a reality, and you will be the biggest contributors."
"We promise to live up to your trust," Zhao Quanjie promised, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, because Wan Lei wanted him to stay in this bitter and cold place for at least a few years. Tuotu probably doesn't have any share in him either.
"Brother Zhao, I understand your thoughts. You want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and establish unparalleled achievements. Don't worry, there are always opportunities. In the future, whether it is to conquer Korea in the east or Mongolia in the west, you will be the first choice. ." Wan Lei patted Zhao Quanjie on the shoulder. Of course, Wan Lei would not let down the aggressive generals.
"Haha, my dear brother understands my thoughts best. With your words, I feel relieved." Zhao Quanjie smiled like a flower. Although he did not get the honor of the Southern Expedition, he conquered Korea in the East and the West in the West. Mongolia, once these two major military operations are victorious, it will be enough to accumulate high enough military merit and glory, and it is inevitable to be famous in history.
"The world is extremely vast, and there are many places waiting for us to conquer and explore. As long as we unite and forge ahead, the glory will always belong to us. Each of us will be like the emperors of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, and Song, and will go down in history forever. Remembered by future generations.”
After talking in detail with Zhao Quanjie for a while, Wan Lei left the headquarters and went out to inspect the construction of the industrial park. The new industrial park is located on a plain beside the Taizi River. Thousands of migrant workers are working on the construction site and have been cleared. There are several square kilometers of flat land, and docks and dams have been built along the river, creating a busy scene.
Since there are no large-scale construction equipment such as bulldozers and mud trucks, the construction progress is of course much slower. To build the development zone and build the factory before winter comes, not only a large amount of building materials but also a large number of laborers are needed. In the future, when the mining areas and iron smelting plants start production, more workers will be needed.
And these workers not only have to eat, but also receive wages, so the money and food invested in advance cannot be paid at all. Most of the more than 200,000 taels of silver that the Japanese country just earned in Beiping City has been regarded as a budget. Such a large sum of money requires Unless Wan Lei had high prestige among both the military and the government, this budget would really be impossible to come by.
But no matter what, the steel plant to be built in Liaoyang will far exceed the one in Beiping City in terms of input and output. Once this steel plant is successfully put into production, it can replace Beiping City and become the new city. steel base.
Of course, the steel factory in Beiping City will slowly cease production, and will eventually be moved out of Beiping City to restore a clean and tidy city appearance to Beiping City.
"Boss, why are you here? Let us find it easily." Wan Lei was talking to several foremen when a loud voice came from behind him.
"Sanzi, why are you back? Your cousin told me that you took Quan Ren Quan Yi all over the world to look for minerals, but no one was seen." Wan Lei didn't need to turn around to recognize the voice of that guy Zhao Quanzhong.
"Haha, I heard that you are coming, boss. No matter how busy we are, we have to rush back." The person who came was indeed Zhao Quanzhong, followed by the two brothers Quan Ren and Quan Yi behind him. Perhaps because they have been traveling outside for many years, their faces have so many faces. They were a bit weathered, but they still looked very energetic, especially Quan Ren and Quan Yi. The two little guys had grown taller and stronger. They each carried a large tool box on their backs, and they were not tired at all.
"Well, seeing how happy you are, you must have gained a lot."
"There are a lot of harvests. I was lucky enough to find a silver mine and three copper mines, but they are all poor ores. The grade of the ore is too poor, and the cost of mining and smelting is too high, so it is not possible to mine them for the time being. However, we found them This." Zhao Quanren opened the tool box and took out a bunch of black stuff like a treasure.
"Graphite, and it's the best-quality fine-scale graphite. You've really found a treasure this time." Wan Lei took it and took a look, and was overjoyed.
Don’t underestimate this black thing, it is a must-have in the metallurgical industry. Because graphite has high temperature resistance, it is generally used as the lining of metallurgical furnaces, and is also used to make crucibles. It is often used in steelmaking. It is used as a protective agent for steel ingots and even used to make casting molds. In short, it is very versatile and very important.
Take the steel plant in Beiping City as an example. Not only did it use nearly ten tons of graphite when building the plant, but also tons of graphite are used for production and equipment maintenance every year. All of this graphite was smuggled in from Shandong. , the price to be paid is very high. Now Wan Lei is having a headache because of the large amount of graphite that will be used in the new factory. The Zhao brothers discovered the graphite mine. It is really weird that someone gave him a pillow to sleep with. He was unhappy and died.
"These graphites were discovered outside Anshan City. The deposits are shallow and can be found everywhere. They can be mined in the open. However, the reserves are not rich, only about 1,800 tons at most," Zhao Quanren said.
"That's enough, that's enough. Eighteen hundred tons will be enough for a long time. You guys are really my lucky stars."
