Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1151 Great Power Strategy
"But this is not in line with our benevolent and responsible big country style."

"What shit is responsible, what is benevolence and righteousness. In the face of the interests of the country and the nation, these things are stumbling blocks to the progress of us Chinese! Western powers started their careers with guns and slavery. Many years ago, they became the rulers of the world. They It is natural to formulate the rules of the game that are beneficial to them. Why can they use guns to expand and not allow us to use the same method to obtain the resources we need! Or the emperor is far-sighted, he just wants to break the game set by the world powers According to the rules, launching a war between China and the United States to establish pro-China is to expel the privileges of Britain, France and other countries in this land. Britain and France and other countries will naturally be furious if they lose the source of these raw materials and the place where their products are dumped, and the empire will expel them wisely. It has established the bridgehead of these world powers around China, and at the same time, it has also attracted these American countries to become members of our Chinese alliance of interests."

"The rise of China will inevitably destroy the traditional interests of the great powers. This is not allowed by these world powers. If you want to do it, you can do it bigger. Not only did the empire not tear off the veil of benevolence and righteousness, but it also cleverly transformed the patriotic sentiment of the people in the country. And the hidden mobilization of China's revival sentiment, this is his brilliance! The rise of a great power, the rise of a prosperous and powerful China requires not only economic and industrial rise, but also sufficient military strength to guarantee and even support This rise."

Guan Xuqing understands very well that the military strength and military strength in his hands cannot conquer the world in a short period of time. China now has basically surpassed the strength of the American Uncle Sam, the world policeman in later generations, but even in the most prosperous period of the United States in that time and space. It cannot be said to conquer the world, but relying on the existing military strength, relying on the existing military strength of millions, relying on China's current industrial strength and technological strength, Guan Xuqing can still complete the original power structure in his mind.Conquering the United States is nothing, this is only the first step of the Long March, the next plan has been brewing in his mind for a long time, and the day it starts to be implemented, it will definitely shock the world!Until now, no one can imagine how big the Chinese emperor's appetite is.

Guan Xuqing set his sights on Lake Baikal on the upper right of the map. Lake Baikal is also one of the territories that Guan Xuqing must take back to China. It is not only the largest freshwater lake in Asia and Europe, but also the deepest lake with the largest water storage capacity in the world.It has been the land of China since ancient times.

Lake Baikal was called "Beihai" in ancient China. It used to be the main activity area of ​​the northern peoples in ancient China. It was here that Suwu herded sheep in the Han Dynasty. "Belga is derived from the Buryat language, which means "natural sea". It is 630 meters long, with an average width of 48 kilometers. Up to 730 meters. In addition to the lake's altitude of more than 620 meters, the total water storage capacity is astonishing, equivalent to the sum of the five largest lakes in North America, accounting for about one-fifth of the total freshwater lakes in the world, and more than the entire The Baltic Sea has even more water. Assuming that Lake Baikal is the only fresh water resource in the world, its water volume is enough for 450 billion people for half a century.

At the same time, Lake Baikal also has rich and unique fishery resources. There are a large number of fish species unique to Lake Baikal. At the same time, because of good water quality and abundant water, it brings a lot of animal husbandry and wild animal resources.More importantly, in the land where the Chinese ancestors lived, there are too few lands like Lake Baikal with a sparse population and rich natural resources. This sacred land full of natural atmosphere will naturally be the Chinese people's yearning. of a holy place.

In addition to Lake Baikal, Kazakhstan is also an area that Guan Xuqing has been diligently pursuing. There are not only two major railway traffic arteries leading to the Far East, but also the second largest oil and gas area in the world after the Middle East on this land. Tyumen Oilfield!The prospective oil reserves of the entire Tyumen Oilfield reach 400 billion tons, and the recoverable reserves exceed 70 billion tons.There are more than ten large oil fields with proven recoverable reserves of more than 1 million tons, such as Samotrol, Plavdinsk, Mamontov, Ust-Barek, Sisurgut, and Fedo Rif, Salem, Megion, Soviet, South Chelim, Agan, North Varyegan, Varyegan, etc., have proven total recoverable reserves of more than 70 billion tons, of which Samotero It is 28.5 billion tons and is one of the few super oil fields in the world.

This is a treasure land rich in wealth, what reason is there for people not to have illusions about it?Guan Xuqing's goal is to make the five West Asian countries break away from the Soviet Union and become pro-China countries. At the same time, they also need the five West Asian countries to open up the traffic artery to the Middle East and win an additional strategic resource area.Without resources, especially without oil, accelerating industrial development will be curbed by energy shortages. In today's world, what energy represents, I believe it will not take many countries in the world to understand the serious relationship.

As for the dozens of small cities and population gathering places between Lake Baikal and the Tyumen Oilfield, they will not be the bridgehead and cornerstone for the Soviet Union to block the expansion of the empire; The load brought about by the deployment of huge troops, from food to military supplies, cannot be supported and afforded.What Guan Xuqing had to do was to cut off the connection between this large piece of land and the western part of the Soviet Union, and slowly consume the Soviet army here.

The current world situation is more complicated than ever before.First of all, there is a delicate relationship between the Soviet Union and Europe.Once a war starts with the Soviet Union, European countries will be beating gongs and drums to watch the excitement. The huge land area of ​​the Soviet Union and the expansion genes rooted in the high-level bodies of Soviet Russia since the Tsarist Russia era are bound to make people fearful. Polar bears are not only born It has a strong size and attack power, and now the polar bear is also approved with a red political coat. It is this political coat that makes Europeans and Americans even more afraid. They have tried everything possible since the birth of the red giant Soviet Union. Want to get rid of it and go fast!
For this purpose, in the early days of World War II, these Western powers could even adopt a strange foreign policy of declaring no war against Germany. The reason is nothing else, that is, the cunning Hitler once vowed to attack the red Soviet Union. beard.It is precisely because of this level of strategic considerations that the strange situation of declaring no war, which is rare or even unprecedented in diplomatic history, appeared on the land of Europe.

If the Sino-Soviet war started first, the Germans in Europe would call out their Chinese friends for their righteous actions, while the European and American countries would secretly laugh, without even spending a penny or even saying such words as condemnation and regret. , it can be seen that the Soviet Union is facing the situation of being attacked by enemies from the east and the west.

Guan Xuqing has to admit that China is now facing unprecedented opportunities as well as unprecedented difficulties. It is by no means easy to make a decision on where to go. The key is to assess the situation and wait for changes.

In the Qianqing Palace, Guan Xuqing and the ministers are discussing the development plan for the new year.

"This year's main exhibition direction should be people's livelihood and economics! As for military projects, we will not give priority to them for the time being. You must know that the two expansions last year attracted a large number of students trained in schools, so that in the second half of the year, technicians in various factories will be trained. Compared with the previous period, the amount has dropped significantly, which has affected social production.” Minister of Education Kang Youwei expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the expansion of the army took away a large number of students.

"Where is it? You have to know that the students we selected for expansion are all students with deviations in grades. Most of them are at the bottom of the class. These students are not suitable for working in factories. Also, since we are talking about this, Guangsha , I hope that this year we will increase the number of students with rich knowledge to enhance the scientific and technological strength of our army, and I hope that we can select some students with excellent grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry to come in, instead of always using students who are at the bottom to perfunctory and fool us.” Xu Shichang really found that the army without culture It is a backward army. The meaning of this famous saying of the emperor is that if you want to understand the contour lines, latitude and longitude on the military map, you must not have enough mathematical knowledge. However, if you want to form a modern army that the emperor requires, you will not have a large number of professional knowledge. It is simply a fantasy for technical students to be the backup force.

"What do you mean that our Ministry of Education is fooling you!" Hearing Xu Shichang's words, Kang Youwei pouted his beard, looking very unhappy.

"No! No! I absolutely did not mean to belittle the Ministry of Education."

"No matter what, I think this year's focus should be on production and construction. You know, in addition to steel plants, the production orders in Europe for cement plants, chemical plants, machinery plants, and cigarette factories have been scheduled until September this year. Now All the factories are working in three shifts at full capacity. If there are some unexpected factors such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, we will lose a lot of money if we miss the contract! Then what will we use to feed you who only eat food!" Kang Youwei uses economics The importance of suppressing Xu Shichang.

"Hmph! Now that the war has just ended, some anti-China forces in the United States are ready to move. I heard that someone has created the Southern Freedom League and is now pinching each other with the United States. Although it will not have a major impact in a short period of time, it is necessary to plan ahead. If this armed force grows stronger and cannot be suppressed now, we will still need to go there to put down the chaos, otherwise the losses will be greater than the delay of the contract!" Xu Shichang did not show any weakness.

"I think it's alarmist talk. Those opposing forces in the United States are nothing more than small troubles. Only relying on the agents of the Security Bureau and the Long Army stationed in the United States are fully capable of solving it." Although Kang Youwei has never led troops to fight, he With his many years of experience, he can see the development trend of the current situation at a glance.
