Chapter 151 Foreign Experts
One hundred and fifty kilometers may take three or four days for the army, but for the armored forces, it only takes a few hours. Driven by a high-power engine, the heavy tanks in the northwest can reach a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, and the lightest ones basically exceed 45. As for wheeled armored personnel carriers, they can reach 65 on the road and 50 kilometers per hour under off-road conditions. Therefore, Yan Xishan placed the armored force on the flank, which was 150 kilometers away from this area. In addition, the distance of this area exceeded 300 kilometers. This is no longer a range that human reconnaissance can detect. ☆→☆→,
When the investigators were crowded, Yan Xishan understood that the fish had already taken the bait, and then he had only waited patiently. Russia's speed of troops dispatching may last for a week or even half a month. What a rare opportunity to be able to command this war, and he still has this patience.
The situation in East Asia suddenly changed. Russia, which was supposed to be involved in the European war, suddenly turned to declare war on China. Japan also waved the flag and shouted, and the important members of the two Allied countries declared war on China together, which made the Germans very happy. They thought that countries such as Britain, France and the United States, which joined the Allied countries, would declare war on China according to the provisions of the agreement. In this case, according to the secret agreement they signed with China, China would join the war, and the entire allied countries would be fully equipped.
After the United States joined the war, it did not show any pressure from the army, but the navy was very large. In addition, there were 41 of the 12 dreadnoughts from the United States, Britain and the United States, which were 28 from Germany. China's joining could not help them in the navy for the time being. They knew that Qingdao Shipyard was still manufacturing warships like the Scher fleet. But when it was successfully built, it was unknown, and even after entering the Navy's active service, it was hard to say how much strength it could be exerted, but it was still possible to completely cut off the connection between Britain and France and Asian colonies with more than tens of millions of mobilization capabilities.
The Germans were expecting, thinking of hearing that Japan and Russia declared war on the northwest. The northwest also declared war on Japan and Russia. The agreement of the Allied Powers stated that if any third party declared war, they would declare war. But after waiting for a full week, there was no result. What is incredible is that Britain, France and the United States did not declare war on China. They did not seem to have pulled China into war, at least not a full-scale war.
Among them, Japan also made a request to Britain and the United States for the provisions of the Allied Powers to fulfill the alliance agreement, but Britain and the United States refused, directly using the excuse that this war was a private war between Russia and Japan and China, and had nothing to do with them. Besides, the core of the war was in the Far East, and Britain and the United States could not bypass Germany and cross the Siberian Railway thousands of kilometers to come to China to fight.
The British and American statements are obviously playing rogues, but neither Japan nor Germany can do anything. China is in a position that is unique. As long as China can be strong and rise, there is no need to look at other people's faces.
The Japanese had no choice but to go home and sulk. But they had no choice but to do so. Britain and the United States were the dominant forces of the Allies, and even Russia could not match. If they did not agree, then there was no way. This happened. In the war between the Allies in Europe, and in Asia, the forces of the two major Allies jointly declared war on China, and the two sides started the war in different positions.
In this way, the two sides formed a tacit understanding, which made China a little happy. Although it is no big deal to join the Allies and expose their identity, it is possible to wait for a while, and just wait for a while, and immediately add a powerful fleet like the Scher fleet. As long as this fleet is available, the navy in the weakest place in the northwest will be greatly supplemented. Not to mention that Japan is no longer an opponent, and even work with the Germans. As long as it is not Britain, France and the United States are attacking in full swing, they are not afraid. With Malacca and Taiwan as protection, there is very little possibility of attack on the local area. You can even fight the United States in the Pacific and fight a real Pacific war.
The battle situation in the north was trapped in a sporadic war due to the result of the two sides' tricks and plots. No one made any moves. After the Japanese hit a bloody head on the Yalu River defense line, they were rejected by Britain and the United States, they also found that something was wrong. They did not charge forward as much as before and held the Yalu River. He was waiting, at least waiting for the Russian reinforcements from Vladivostok to come up, but they didn't know that after knowing what happened to Japan, Russia went directly to break through the Northeast defense line from Heilongjiang.
The situation on the battlefield was in a deadlock. China, Japan and Russia were all waiting, waiting for the Mongolian battlefield in the center to decide the level. The victory or defeat there determined the situation on the entire battlefield.
As night fell, a heavily guarded special train quietly left Baotou. There was no sign on the special train, which looked similar to an ordinary train. However, those who are familiar with the Northwest special train know that it is a special train, and from the specifications of the special train, it is easy to determine that it is at least a special train of the leader level.
China was established, and everything was full of things. Even if it was prepared early, Liu Shu and Yang Yuanzhao were still busy. At this critical moment, Russia and Japan jointly declared war on China. The war in the north began, and more work was needed. However, at this critical moment, Yang Yuanzhao still took a special train to leave Baotou.
Yang Yuanzhao's departure was not for handling government affairs, but sent a group of trustworthy foreign experts and returned overseas students to the Yinshan base after review.
Yinshan Base is the biggest secret in the northwest. It has achieved remarkable results since its establishment for several years. Whether it is the steel industry, precision manufacturing, high-end weapons, or even battleships, it has made its contributions. If steel and heavy industry are the foundation of China, then Yinshan Base is the heart in this body, promoting development in all aspects.
In the Yinshan base, there are a large number of science and technology that exceeds this era, and even some forward-looking issues, which are often five to ten years higher than this era. It is precisely because of these that China has caught up with the world's advancedness in a short period of time and is constantly moving towards higher levels. Once the technology here is leaked, it will have a huge impact on the Northwest.
However, China's foundation is still too thin. Yang Yuanzhao recruited talents from all over the world, and even the talents among the prisoners of war sent by Germany were not spared. He spared no effort to develop higher education and sent a large number of international students. However, these are just trying to make up for the gap between China and countries around the world. Some projects led by Yang Yuanzhao have developed at a relatively rapid pace. If it were in the fields he was not familiar with, the development would slow down quickly, and there was no progress in half a year.
This gave him a very headache. After opening the Yinshan base to the military, he not only entered the army in small batches in advance for adaptive training. This was to cultivate a group of high-tech troops in advance. Some of them would become the main force in the battle against Russia and Japan this time, such as armored vehicles and tanks.
From the era of the great explosion of knowledge in later generations, he also knew that the current situation of the Yinshan base was that unless there were several master scientists, plus a large number of backbone research institutes, could they develop rapidly under his forward-looking guidance. Otherwise, this was already the limit. Perhaps Yang Yuanzhao's professional qualities could continue to improve in terms of materials and engines, but without other disciplines as support, it would be difficult to continue to make breakthroughs. A single streak of success will never be able to solve the problem. The technology trees must climb each other.
The Yinshan base has been handed over to the military, and there is a clear difference here from before. After sorting out by military experts, the most important aspects related to future military development were selected. The Navy, Air Force and the Army are all separate projects and are very purposeful. On the contrary, those important system projects are temporarily sealed and must be opened after China's scientific and technological level lay a certain foundation before starting.
However, after these key projects were integrated, in addition to the engine projects, there were several individual projects, lacking necessary personnel. Yang Yuanzhao's research in these fields was not in-depth enough to take into account. The international students or scientists currently trained in Northwest may be able to become qualified garrisons and serve as the head of a discipline.
After finally integrating it, it encountered such a problem, which made the military very unwilling to accept it. These projects have a huge promoting effect on the military's separate system. Any breakthrough in any aspect will greatly improve the military's military strength and cannot be given up.
At this time, someone proposed to identify some foreign experts, choose some that are inclined toward China, and then use classification methods to separate the individual research items of each person. In this way, even if they are not Chinese, they can still use them, and the confidentiality is good.
After several rounds of negotiations, especially on-site inquiry into the researchers of those projects and received a positive answer, the Yinshan Base began to choose the discipline and laboratory leaders. After reporting to Yang Yuanzhao, he was a little surprised, but he still agreed.
After several rounds of selection and assessment by the military, the 29 key scientists and 72 assistants were finally selected. More than 100 foreigners became the first foreigners to enter the Yinshan base. They also went with them, including fresh graduates from Northwestern University and students who returned from studying abroad. They will participate in this new project as assistants and interns. Because of this, Yang Yuanzhao used the special train and went to the Yinshan base with them. (To be continued.)
