"I propose that the First Cavalry Army be stationed in Qinghai and Gansu provinces, while the Second Cavalry Army prepares to enter Xinjiang to fight. In the spring of next year, it will officially enter Xinjiang and eliminate the Qing troops entrenched there. At the same time, be prepared for the Russian attack on Xinjiang.
If the Russians come to invade, they must launch a severe counterattack!" Wang Yuze said. He is familiar with history and has never stopped until the Russians' ambitions for China's Xinjiang. They had previously forced the Manchu Qing to cede Ba'al.
The territory around Lake Kashgar is now even more wanted to annex Xinjiang. The Yili General established by the Manchu Qing Dynasty simply resisted with force in front of the Russians. If Zuo Zongtang had not led the army to regain Xinjiang, Xinjiang might not be what it is now
It has separated from China a long time ago. Therefore, Wang Yuze will never allow such a thing to happen again.
In addition, although Xinjiang has widespread deserts, it is very rich in oil and natural gas resources. After entering the era of internal combustion engines, these are indispensable and important energy sources. There are not many domestic oil resources in the first place, and they cannot be thrown away. At the same time, Xinjiang
Located in the middle of the Eurasian continent, the geographical location is very important. If Western Sichuan wants to enter Central Asia in the future, it must do so from Xinjiang. Therefore, Xinjiang must be in the hands of Western Sichuan.
"The Qing Dynasty does not have many troops in Xinjiang. However, the geographical conditions of Xinjiang are very harsh. If they march into Xinjiang, the logistics supply line will be very fragile." Xiong Wu expressed his hesitation. In a place with widespread deserts, it is obviously
It is impossible to carry out large-scale operations. Otherwise, the logistical pressure will be enough to kill the army.
"I know this. Therefore, I hope that the army can advance step by step. With sufficient supplies, we are talking about annihilating the Qing army. After taking over Xinjiang, the Ministry of Transportation also needs to consider building a railway from Lanzhou to Ili.
.It will facilitate our expansion to Central Asia in the future!" Wang Yuze said.
His statement made everyone present's eyes brighten. Western Sichuan is still working hard to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and unify the country. But Wang Yuze has already thought about future expansion. Moreover, Central Asia is now Russia's territory.
Russia is not easy to mess with. It is one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, everyone here believes that the strength of western Sichuan is not inferior to Russia. After unifying China, disputes with Russia will inevitably occur. Make plans now.
If so, you can effectively prepare for the future.
"Well, if there are no problems, the General Staff Headquarters will formulate a plan to march into Xinjiang! At the same time, order Zhao Bowen to return to Chengdu, and I will see him in person!" Wang Xiao said. Marching into Xinjiang is a big event and a hard job.
Him personally summoning Zhao Bowen can also show that he attaches great importance to this action.
"Yes, Marshal!" Xiong Wu accepted the order.
Ten days later, Zhao Bowen, commander of the Second Cavalry Army, rushed back to Chengdu from Xi'an. Now that the defense changes of various units had begun, the entire Western Sichuan Army began to get busy. This action also caused the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to
They were afraid that Western Sichuan would attack the Manchu and Qing dynasties again. Now the Manchu and Qing dynasties simply could not withstand the attack from Western Sichuan.
Wang Xiao and Wang Yuze met Zhao Bowen together and explained to him in detail the importance of Xinjiang to western Sichuan. They told him that although it would be very difficult to march into Xinjiang, the Second Cavalry Army must try its best to win Xinjiang.
Zhao Bowen also promised that he would not betray the trust of the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief, and that all the soldiers of the Second Cavalry Army would overcome all difficulties and integrate Xinjiang into the territory of western Sichuan.
Next, the General Staff Headquarters formulated a detailed combat plan for the march into Xinjiang. Zhao Bowen, as the military general who marched into Xinjiang, also participated in the formulation of the plan. At the same time, the Logistics Department also supplemented the Second Cavalry Army. Whether it was personnel
Be it weapons, they will all be replenished as soon as possible to ensure that the time to enter Xinjiang is not affected.
In the following days, Wang Yuze shuttled between the General Staff Headquarters and the Cabinet Prime Minister's Office every day. After the Western Sichuan Cabinet was established, a Prime Minister's Office was specially built next to the Touring Ambassador's Office. In addition to the residence of Prime Minister Liang Xingrong, there is also a five-story
The tall building serves as the office space of various ministries. On the one hand, Wang Yuze also participated in the formulation of the battle plan to enter Xinjiang. On the other hand, he also participated in the work of the government as a young marshal, which was considered to be familiar with the operation of the government in advance.
Already.
In addition, in December, a happy event also happened. After Wang Yuze's hard work, the eldest lady Xiong Menghan finally found out that she was pregnant. This made the entire patrolling ambassador's house and even western Sichuan fall into joy. Young Marshal has
In the end, it appeared that the blood of the Wang family would continue, and the rule of Western Sichuan would be more stable. However, some people were a little disappointed. The second wife, Yang Shilan, originally wanted to compete with Xiong Menghan in this aspect, but she was not convinced.
Then there was no choice but to extinguish the ambition in my heart and concentrate on taking care of the affairs of the Inspection Mission. After the steward Wang Quan became the Minister of the Interior, the first and second wives of Wang Yuze were involved in the affairs of the Inspection Mission.
Take responsibility. After Xiong Menghan became pregnant, she was even more asked to take a good rest. These things all fell on Yang Shilan's shoulders. Fortunately, Yang Shilan came from a wealthy family and was very capable, so she was able to manage such a large patrolling embassy.
Well organized.
After learning that Xiong Menghan was pregnant, Wang Xiao was also overjoyed and in very good spirits. He has been cooperating with the doctor's treatment and said that no matter what, he would watch his grandson be born before dying. This would not be in vain for his hard work all his life.
In addition to the General Staff Headquarters and the Prime Minister's Office, the place where Wang Yuze travels most frequently is the Western Sichuan Academy of Sciences. A large number of top scientists from Western Sichuan and even the world have gathered here. Research in Western Sichuan has reached the forefront of the world in some aspects.
In order to keep abreast of the dynamics here, Wang Yuze takes time to come here every week. Today is the day for the miniaturization test of wireless telegraphy. Wang Yuze and Wang Wei rushed to the Western Sichuan Academy of Sciences early in the morning. They passed various inspections by the guards.
Only then were they allowed in.
"Is this a wireless telegraph machine?" Wang Yuze looked at a square black box in front of him, with some buttons and indicator lights on it.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Marshal, this is our miniaturized wireless telegraph machine." Russian scientist Mr. Hu introduced. When he was eighteen years old, he developed the method of using wires to remotely control gun explosions, and then began
Research on radio communications. People from Western Sichuan found him and brought him to Western Sichuan. After receiving a large amount of funds and theoretical knowledge from Western Sichuan, he finally successfully researched radio communications this year and completed a small
It can be equipped into the army. It is much earlier than the American Tesla. The improvement of communication technology will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Young Marshal, you don't know that the first prototype machine built by Mr. Fu was a big thing, weighing hundreds of kilograms." Cai Yun also said with a smile, because this technology will have a great impact on the military.
influence, so the military giants were also present.
Western Sichuan has already perfected wired telegraphy, but when attacking, they still have to rely on messengers on horseback to deliver messages. If there is a radio, it will be much more convenient.
Subsequently, the policeman conducted an experiment. He used a radio at the Academy of Sciences to communicate with a radio at the General Staff Headquarters. Although they were only ten kilometers apart, the experiment was successful.
"Mr. Husband, thank you for your contribution to Western Sichuan!" Wang Yuze said excitedly, holding Husband's hand. Radio will not only be used for communications in the army, but also in the navy. For Western Sichuan, it will be very important.
Important. Of course, Wang Yuze will not forget to apply for a patent immediately to avoid being preempted by others. Worldwide, radio communications are a huge number, and Western Sichuan will be able to collect the patent fees directly. Of course, as
The leader of the main research group also received a reward. In addition to 100,000 in cash, there was also a Western Sichuan Special Contribution Medal of Glory.
The husband is also very satisfied with the honor he has achieved. Without the funding from Sichuan West, his research would not be possible. Although the patent belongs to Sichuan West, hasn't he realized his own value?
Military giants such as Xiong Wu even stated that after further improvements and improved reliability, the Western Sichuan Army will make large-scale purchases and strive to expand wireless communications to company-level troops in Western Sichuan. After the communication is smooth, the generals will command the troops.
, and it will be more comprehensive, and the combat effectiveness of the Western Sichuan Army will be greatly improved.
After coming out of the Academy of Sciences, the group was in high spirits. Cai Yun simply proposed to go to the arsenal outside the city to inspect the development of large-caliber artillery in Western Sichuan. The artillery currently equipped in Western Sichuan is mainly a 105mm light howitzer and a 155mm heavy-duty howitzer.
Only the instructor is equipped with a battery of twelve howitzers. Moreover, these are imported from Germany. It is not that Western Sichuan does not have this technology. In fact, military industry experts in Western Sichuan have obtained relevant technology from Krupp in Germany, and have already
Completely understood. However, heavy howitzers have higher requirements for gun steel, and the steel technology in western Sichuan could not meet it before. In addition, in the current war in China, such large-caliber heavy howitzers are too heavy and can rarely be used.
used, so there has been no production in western Sichuan.
Fortunately, some time ago, the steel smelting technology in western Sichuan finally made a breakthrough. The newly smelted gun steel can fully meet the requirements. The arsenal immediately started research on the 155mm heavy howitzer. In just one month, it has already
A prototype gun was produced. After the test firing, there were basically no major problems. Only some minor problems needed to be improved. Mass production will soon be achieved and equipped with troops.
ps: Starting from today, there will be four updates every day! Xiaoyu is working hard to code, and I’m asking for all kinds of support!
