In the tropical rainforest, 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.
As soon as I got up from the muddy water, I had to shoot immediately.
At this time, the more sophisticated the weapons, the more likely they are to have problems. Therefore, simplicity, reliability, and durability have become the best standards. And it is precisely Russian-made weapons that best meet this requirement. In recent years, several major arsenals in Fengtian have produced large quantities of them.
has produced Russian-made weapons and has a large inventory in its warehouse.
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. And Nanyang, which has begun to build a country, has received full support.
Ge Yue
, 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 a ghost place like Nanyang, ships are absolutely indispensable. With these things, we can form a fast mobile force.
.”
When Li Xun heard this from the side, he was also dancing. The water network in Borneo is dense. Boats are daily means of transportation in many places. Their guerrillas are also confiscating a large number of fishing boats and using them to transport troops. If they can equip some fast boats,
Mounting a machine gun on it will serve as a moving firepower point. A burst of bullets can kill a group of people on the shore.
Before this, they had made similar attempts, and the results were quite good. Now that they have sent 300 engines over at once, they can even form a water strike force to move across the middle of the river, and can quickly mobilize troops and maneuver the troops.
Your sexual performance will be greatly improved, and your combat effectiveness will also increase exponentially.
They all couldn't help but get excited, and the soldiers rushed to carry down all kinds of weapons and supplies. Xu Shuzheng also smiled and said: "It's rude to come and not return. We also have a large number of things to be handed over 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 a large amount of funds. Some of them have been shipped back to the country, and a large amount is still in their hands. Especially after occupying places such as Samarinda, their seizures were even more astonishing. Xu Shuzheng passed on 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."
Ge Yuexuan was shocked when he heard this: "Commander-in-Chief Xu, are you kidding me? How come there is so much gold?"
"Hahaha, this is nothing. There are many gold mines in Borneo, but they have not been developed. All this gold was obtained from the Dutch. In addition, we also have 100,000 tons of oil on hand, and a large amount of rubber and wood.
, grain, and high-quality coal, what we lack is the ability to transport them out.”
Upon hearing Xu Shuzheng's introduction, Ge Yuexuan was completely shocked. Although he knew that Nanyang was rich, he never expected that it would 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 of what is included. What is the output? I will report it to the country immediately."
Xu Shuzheng was also prepared and handed a detailed list to Ge Yuexuan. Soon the list was sent to Zhang Tinglan. After seeing the things listed above, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but exclaimed.
The rich resources of Borneo are simply beyond imagination. First of all, what attracts Zhang Tinglan most are the two strategic materials of rubber and oil. Borneo is the first place to plant rubber in Southeast Asia. Tan Kah Kee has a large number of rubber gardens in Sarawak in the north.
.And 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.
He even went to the extent of going 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. Jiang Baili, who had always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing this.
"I would like to say that no matter what, we must support them and we must control the oil!"
"Brother Baili, why are you so anxious?"
"It won't happen if you don't rush." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "The mechanized army is your initiative, but if you want to put wheels on the army and put on heavy armor, what you need most is these black blood. If there is no oil, what?
I can’t even play.”
In fact, not only the military, but other places also need a lot of oil. Modern agriculture is supported by 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 the ground and sowing seeds. It can also be used to pull goods.
Even though it is a small thing, it is inconspicuous, but 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 the price is not high, tens of millions are consumed every year.
funds.
Moreover, according to estimates, by the Second Five-Year Plan, China's oil consumption will increase by more than four times. Especially after the completion of land reform in the Central Plains, farmers will be guided to farm operations. The required agricultural machinery 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.
It’s not that Zhang Tinglan has never thought about developing the Daqing Oilfield. He even instructed 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 extract it.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked people to inspect the Shengli Oilfield. Not to mention that oil has actually been drilled, but there are still troubles. The 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 his wits' end when he suddenly found a big 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, and if you want to get them, you have to pass the British test."
"The United Kingdom is also stronger than the United States." Jiang Baili said without hesitation: "In any case, Borneo is right under our noses. After we have three aircraft carrier battle groups, the South China Sea will be our footbath. We usually give it
The British count the money. During wartime, if they dare to blockade us, we will rob them without worrying about anything. The Americans are far away on the other side of the ocean, so we can only do nothing."
Zhang Tinglan also laughed loudly: "Brother Baili, I think so, I must increase my support for 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 a large number of treasures listed below, such as gold mines, with a yearly output of at least 20 tons, and a large amount of timber, which was also used in large quantities in later generations in China.
Nanyang imports high-quality wood. The wood can be used for more than just furniture. Telephone poles and railway sleepers are all made of hardwood. China is undergoing large-scale construction. The shortage of wood is also increasing day by day. If a large amount of wood from Nanyang can be obtained, it will also be
A big help.
In addition to these, there are also rice, coal, diamonds, etc., everything is touching. After Jiang Baili read it, he couldn't help but said: "I would like to say, if we can get Borneo, we can afford at least 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, and then said decisively: "Brother Baili,
You immediately select a group of elites from the army, then order them to retire and send them all to Nanyang to serve as volunteers. No matter what the cost, you must seize Borneo for me."
In the past, Zhang Tinglan was not so enthusiastic about Nanyang, but with the progress of industrialization, China's resource bottleneck is not far away, and the domestic contradiction of more people and less land has become more and more acute. The land distribution is only a temporary relief. After the society stabilizes, the medical conditions will also
With rapid progress, China will surely usher in a baby boom and its population will skyrocket.
No matter how you look at it, outward expansion has become inevitable. It can even be said that China's expansion aspirations even exceed Japan's.
Of course, expansion also requires skills. As the saying goes, you must pick up the weak persimmons. The weakest link in Holland 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 army also had soldiers who had served for nearly ten years. These people began to retire one after another. In addition, after reorganizing the southwest and northwest, a large number of troops were 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 quite high in military literacy. 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.
Xu Shuzheng, whose strength had soared, was sharpening his sword when he suddenly received a secret report. The Dutch were ready to counterattack. After all, the Fengtian still needed maintenance and could not wait too long, so the Dutch also had the opportunity to mobilize their troops.
The eastern half of Borneo has been lost. They chose the counterattack base in Port Machen, which is the largest port in southern Borneo with convenient transportation and rich products. The Dutch gathered a total of 15,000 soldiers and more than 30
A battleship, and more than 40,000 indigenous soldiers.
It can be said that the Dutch have staked all their capital and want to 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?"
Since Bai Chongxi received the order to go to Nanyang, he has been studying the situation in Borneo. Therefore, upon hearing Xu Shuzheng's question, he hurriedly said: "Commander-in-Chief, according to my idea, we should use encirclement and reinforcements to attack Ma Chen's Dutch army."
The main force is lured out and then destroyed in one fell swoop!"
…
It was time for Nanyang to decide life and death, but at this time, good news came from China. The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway was finally completed, and the history of no trains in Xinjiang was broken. This good news quickly grabbed the headlines of major newspapers.
, everyone has great enthusiasm for this railway.
In fact, as early as when Zhang Tinglan just regained Mongolia, he started to build a railway to connect 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 work 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 construction of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway at this time not only means that Xinjiang is completely in the hands of China
, 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 would like to say that I am going to go to the Sino-Russian border to have a look and understand the situation. There are still more than 400,000 square kilometers of land there, and we cannot ignore it!"
