Chapter 335 South and North 3
In August, the sky is fierce.
Outside the wall of the Summer Palace, the workers were laying the road around the garden. They first built a foundation with thumb-sized bluestones, and then boiled asphalt in a large pot. After the asphalt was boiled, they immediately poured into the fine stones, stirred them evenly and paved them on the roadbed. Finally, they were repeatedly crushed with a wheel weighing more than a dozen tons, straight To flat forming.
Both the process and the procedure are similar to the mechanized laying of asphalt roads in later generations.
Yingkou Refinery, which processes millions of tons a year, has been under construction for more than half a year. As a by-product of oil refining, asphalt is a very good material. Water seepage and noise reduction are better than cement, so Master Li chose to use it to lay the road around the Summer Palace.
In addition to asphalt, he also suggested that the material laboratory should pay more attention to the research of other extended products in oil refining. Oil is valuable and should be used to the extreme. The more famous product is artificial rubber.
Of course, he will never force any laboratory. All tasks are sent to everyone in a suggested situation. As for whether you study or not, it is your business. Master Li will never ask about it, but these are usually well-cooked and well-served, and the experimental funds can be guaranteed. In addition, the tasks are all in line with your appetite. The project, so everyone is still very cooperative.
Of course, there are also people who don't cooperate, such as Trolas. Those guys would rather be roasted into dried meat by the sun than get an air conditioner, but made a scary Stella coil and made artificial lightning.
When he experimented that night, almost all the experts present were stunned. They only saw countless lightnings flying in front of him, lighting up the night sky, and finally damaging several generators.
Because of this, he had to continue to hide under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool, but at this time, even if he was in the air, he not only did not feel hot, but could shave a few layers of frost on his face.
Even standing next to him, he just came back from North Korea with a boat of antique calligraphy and paintings. He was ready to invite Du Dazhuang to take credit. He didn't dare to show his face blue and his teeth.
The war in the northwest has finally completely separated from history. The two tigers and wolves, Britain and Russia, who have been coveted Xinjiang Province and the northwest, have fallen faster than themselves this time, indicating that their rise has made the powers to the point where they would rather take the high risk of war and directly intervene.
Intelligence from Europe shows that half a month ago, Kimberley went to St. Petersburg to meet Nicholas II. He didn't know how much benefit he had promised to the idiot, or Nicholas II had already been ready to move and promised to send 1,000 soldiers from Britain and 10,000 soldiers from Russia to protect Xinjiang. The beneficial agreement!
Using ten times the gap in force to protect only half of the interests, the Tsar's head is really not very good, but in the face of this joke, he can't be ridiculous, which shows that Britain has begun to notice that it restricts itself in other places when it makes every effort to ensure the southeast coast and is unwilling to give itself an excuse to war. And it also succeeded in instigating Russia to come forward.
Although the Siberian railway is not yet under construction, Xinjiang Province is located in Central Asia. It is still more than enough to get tens of thousands of troops with Russia's ability. What's more, the defeat was regarded as a great shame by Nicholas II. This time he finally found an opportunity to revenge, and I'm afraid he won't let go so easily.
Although the British did not want to turn against each other directly in the northwest, they instigated Russia, but they were determined to protect the southeast coast. Unexpectedly, they had reached an agreement with France, which was extremely upset because of the colony, and would have guaranteed the safety of the southeast coast together. If the United States hadn't been there, Cuba is frozen. I'm afraid that the Allies will take the lead in the Far East in more than a decade!
At the same time, the attitudes of Germany, the United States and Italy have also suddenly become ambiguous. According to Tang Shaoyi's contacts during this period, several countries have neither promised to stay out of the matter nor expressed their support for Xinhua, indicating that the tolerance of the great powers towards themselves has reached the limit.
It is not realistic to ignite the southeast war immediately, because if Britain and France add up, the maritime power in the Far East is not much worse than their own, but the two families are not sure whether they can win the Xinhua navy, so this battle still has to compete around the northwest.
Especially the sudden change in the northwest a few days ago caught people off guard. Ma Anliang and Dong Fuxiang, two ambitious people who started in the rebellion, finally showed their fangs again after more than ten years of dormant. If they killed Chang Geng and destroyed the last Manchu cavalry, then they carried 40,000 troops. Hundreds of thousands of unknown Hui people entered Xinjiang, threw themselves into the arms of Britain and Russia, and tried to replay the action of Agube's scene, which completely touched the bottom line in Li Mo's heart!
Throughout history, the northwest has always been a place of national defense, so there is "If the northwest is chaotic, the world will be chaotic!" It is said that the head of this chaos is all Xinjiang Province!
Province of Xinjiang!
This place has been the land of China for thousands of years, but because of the casual change of the name of Qianlong, it has completely changed. I really don't know how the heads of these descendants of Manqing Aixinjueluo grow. It's okay for a generation to be inferior to generation. They even regard the recovery of their own land as themselves. Open the territory and expand the territory, and change the name to Xinjiang Province!
It's really brain-damaged!
However, there is no way to be in a hurry now. It is not that Sun Jiugong does not work hard, but must wait for Gansu, Ningxia and other places to calm down, and protect the sent officials to take over smoothly and settle down before continuing to the west.
This is the difference between civil war and foreign war. Civil war should be considered in all aspects, especially in those places where ethnic complexity should be considered comprehensively, while foreign wars are different. As long as it continues, it is enough to forcibly drive away the enemies and aliens from cities. If you are willing to be cruel, it is even more important to slaughter the city directly. Simple and sharp.
It seems that a big war in Xinjiang is inevitable. I don't know whether Sun Jiugong will continue to fight quickly this time or procrastinate for a year and a half.
Thinking of this, Li Mo sighed in his heart, put down the information in his hand for the time being, turned his head and asked, "What's going on in North Korea?"
"Fly to the emperor, the court..." Du Dazhuang just said four words, and was scolded by Li Mo, "Why did you learn from them? If you have something to say, don't reply!"
"Yes."
Du Dazhuang flattened his mouth, and his forehead was sweating more vigorously. He quickly said again, "The domestic war in North Korea is all over. Kim Kainan has set up a transitional political axe, with him as the first president of North Korea. Mr. Li has reached an agreement with him that we will contribute 50 tons of gold to help him promote the gold standard and issue The new currency.
"In addition, Jin Kainan is still adjusting the army on a large scale during this period, preparing to divide the North Korean army into four divisions according to our establishment. I also hope that we can send instructors to help train soldiers."
"Hehe, President! He is open-thinking." Li Mo rarely smiled and asked, "How is the king of Korea?"
"According to your method, I have settled the King of Korea's family on Dongjiang Island. Now the general ginseng has taken over the daily protection there. At the same time, Jin Kainan admits that Dongjiang Island belongs to our territory, but he seems not to be very satisfied that we are still stationed on Jeju Island."
Li Mo sucked his nose. Dongjiang Island is also called Lidao. It got its name because Mao Wenlong fought against the Qing Dynasty here for eight years. The surrounding waters are rich in delicious yellow rhubarb. According to the division of later generations, it does belong to North Korea. However, since the young master has come back, there are also relics of famous anti-Qing generals on it, it should belong to China!
As for Jeju Island, later generations are a good place for vacation. What's more, after ceding Tsushima Island, it is much less valuable to itself and has no valuable mineral deposits, so it is better to give it back to North Korea.
"But it can't be cheaper than another Comrade Jin!" Li Mo thought of this and immediately said, "You go to Yan Fu and Chen Ping now and ask them to contact Jin Kainan immediately. I can return Tsushima to him, but he must immediately transfer 5,000 veterans to the four countries of Japan, and from next month, the North Korean army will temporarily garrison us there."
"In addition, you tell them that in addition to leaving one battalion to cooperate with the North Korean garrison, the other four battalions immediately replaced the third regiment of the Marine Corps to defend Hokkaido. After completing the handover, the third regiment immediately went to the fourth regiment of the Marine Corps in Haimen, Jiangsu Province, on standby!"
"Also, the Taiwan Security Regiment will be immediately merged into the Marine Corps and changed to the Fifth Regiment of the Marine Corps. Stand by!"
"The Fifth Division and the Sixth Division set off immediately, with the regiment as a unit, set up along the line of the Yangtze River, and stand by!"
"The first division, as the general reserve team, stand by!"
"The four newly formed reserve divisions must also complete all recruit training within three months."
"Yes, you should ask Mr. Li to hurry up and try to complete the immigration plan of Hokkaido and the four northern islands within three months."
After following Li Mo for a long time, Du Dazhuang not only practiced a good surname, but also knew his temper. He knew that if others did not provoke Master Li, he would definitely set up his tail to play the way of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and if someone provoked him, then!
Du Dazhuang twitched the corners of his eyes. He knew very well that it would definitely not end well!
Looking at Du Dazhuang's back, who gave a series of orders, Li Mo finally vented his anger in his chest.
The young master doesn't believe it. At this moment, he has seven main infantry divisions, four cavalry divisions, and four reserve mixed infantry divisions that have been requisitioned in the three northeastern provinces. They are being trained, as well as five regiments of the Marine Corps, and three internal affairs divisions. 300,000 troops can't beat you in their own land!
Don't you want to take Xinjiang Province as an article? Didn't you instigate Russia to bully the young master? Then let you see how the young master is angry!
North of the Yangtze River, the two land regiments and two main infantry divisions are just the beginning, and the Nanyang is the strange soldiers that make you anxious!
"Let's see who blinks first!" Master Li raised his head, looked at the hot sun in the shade of the trees, and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"What's more, I'm afraid the sun in South Africa is not small now!"
